Doctor Who (7 Sep, 1987; Seventh Doctor) - Time and the Rani (Tardis) [RANI] Leave the girl. It's the man I want. Take him to my laboratory. --------------------------------------- (Genius room) [RANI] Sarn, stop dithering. Collecting this one has already put mebehind schedule. [SARN] I don't want to harm him. [RANI] Seal it and label it. [RANI] Well, what are you waiting for? [BEYUS] You haven't given the name for the label. [RANI] Einstein. [RANI] Insolence could cost your people dearly, Beyus. [SARN] I'm sure Beyus did not mean to appear insolent. He would never dothat. [RANI] I find your incompetence more than enough without listening toyour puerile opinions. [BEYUS] Then why not let Sarn go. You have me as a hostage, you don'tneed her. [RANI] I shall decide my needs. They unfortunately require the use ofLakertyans. [BEYUS] You leave me with no illusions about the hatred that you holdfor us. [RANI] Hatred? Another fantasy. I have no feelings one way or the other.Outside of these experiments you have absolutely no significance. [BEYUS] I find your detachment difficult to understand. [RANI] All you need understand is that these specimens are geniuses,every one of them. And unless they're kept in prime condition, you'llhave more than the miserable skin of this creature to worry about. [BEYUS] Have you managed to procure the means to repair your laboratoryequipment? [RANI] Oh yes, indeed I have. --------------------------------------- (The Rani's laboratory) [DOCTOR] No, no, Mel. [DOCTOR] That was a nice nap. Now, down to business. [DOCTOR] I'm a bit worried about the temporal flicker in sectorthirteen. There's a bicentennial refit of the Tardis to book in. I mustjust pop over to Centauri Seven and then perhaps a quick holiday.Right, that all seems quite clear. Just three small points. Where am I?Who am I? And who are you? The Rani! Stay back! [RANI] This is idiotic. You'll injure yourself. [DOCTOR] Why should you care? Since you were exiled from Gallifrey,you've had nothing but contempt for all other Time Lords. [RANI] My contempt started long before my exile. [DOCTOR] And what do you want with me? And where's Mel? [RANI] She's perfectly safe, but how long she remains so depends on you. [DOCTOR] You're up to something. Perhaps I'll find the answer on this. [RANI] You won't recognise the planet. It's Lakertya, and there's noevidence that it's ever been graced by your meddling presence. [DOCTOR] You're trying to deflect me, so the answer is on here. Quarks.One up, one down. One strange matter? That asteroid is composed ofstrange matter. What monstrous experiment are you dabbling in now? [RANI] I didn't go to the trouble of bringing you here just to discussthe ethics of my work. [DOCTOR] Ethics? Don't be such a hypocrite. Your past is littered withthe mutilated results of your unethical experiments. [RANI] I had all I can take of that cant in our university days. Am Iexpected to abandon my research because of the side effects on inferiorspecies. Are you prepared to abandon walking in case you squash aninsect underfoot? [DOCTOR] Stay away. Whatever you've brought me here for, I'm having nopart of it. [RANI] Leave him there. [SARN] He may be hurt. [BEYUS] Sarn, don't interfere. [RANI] I'll deal with you latter. [RANI] And that's the last time she will interfere. [DOCTOR] Stay away or I'll smash this! [RANI] Urak! [DOCTOR] I'll smash it to pieces! [RANI] Urak, get in here! [RANI] Urak, what's happening? [URAK [OC]] The female Sarn has escaped, Mistress Rani. [RANI] She won't get far. [RANI] See that the trap is reset. [URAK [OC]] Certainly. Your powers are truly wondrous, Mistress Rani. [BEYUS] What's happened? [RANI] It need not concern you. Roll up his sleeve. [BEYUS] Why are you doing this? [RANI] To make sure he suffers a healthy dose of amnesia when he wakes. [BEYUS] Amnesia? [RANI] That's what I said. --------------------------------------- (Lakertya) [IKONA] Go on, run. Run! The area's full of traps,as well you know. [MEL] Me? Why should I? This is insane. [IKONA] Don't play the innocent. Your friends set this trap. [MEL] Look, it's all very well being upset [IKONA] Upset? Another of your obscene murders takes place [MEL] Stop accusing me. This had nothing to do with me. [IKONA] Lies! If I didn't need you as a hostage, you'd be dead. [MEL] A hostage? For what? [IKONA] To exchange for our leader. Your friends took him prisoner. [MEL] Why do you keep calling them friends of mine? [IKONA] You arrived from outer space, as they did. Now they can have youback. On my terms. --------------------------------------- (The Rani's laboratory) [DOCTOR] Where am I? Who are you? [RANI] Mel. Melanie. Are you all right, Doctor? [DOCTOR] All right? Am I? Of course. And you? [RANI] Me? Yes, of course. Why not? [DOCTOR] Why not indeed. We both are. [DOCTOR] A bull in a barber shop. A navigational guidance systemdistorter. This would force any passing spaceship into landing here.Where are we, by the way? [RANI] In your laboratory. On Lakertya. Doctor, are you sure you'rewell? [DOCTOR] Of course. Fit as a trombone. [RANI] Fiddle. [DOCTOR] Hmm? [RANI] Fit as a fiddle. [DOCTOR] Are you? Nerves, I expect. Now, let's see. What were we up to,er, Mel, did you say your name was? [RANI] You don't remember me, do you? Do you? [DOCTOR] Red hair. I recall red hair. [DOCTOR] Argh! Who's that? [RANI] Me. [DOCTOR] No, standing next to you. [RANI] That's you, Doctor. [DOCTOR] Me? No wonder I've lost my memory. [RANI] Look, you're supposed to be conducting an experiment, notfrightening yourself to death. [DOCTOR] Experiment? [RANI] Yes, it exploded and threw you to the floor. Me, too. Knocked usboth cold. When I came round you looked like this. [DOCTOR] The explosion must have caused me to regenerate. [RANI] You mean, this is what you're going to be like permanently. [DOCTOR] I want all mirrors removed from the Tardis henceforth. [RANI] So you remember the Tardis, then? [DOCTOR] Oh yes, the Tardis. And you. Mel. There's something not quite insync. I must be suffering from post-regeneration amnesia. [RANI] Oh, don't worry. It'll soon wear off. Meanwhile, why not repairthe machine? You said it was important. [DOCTOR] Important? Did I? I wonder what I was up to. [DOCTOR] No, seems pretty far gone. Need a genius to unravel it. [RANI] But you're a genius. [DOCTOR] Oh yes, I definitely remember that. [RANI] Especially in thermodynamics. [DOCTOR] How did you know that, Mel? [RANI] You told me. You said it was your special subject when you wereat university. [DOCTOR] University? You remind me of someone I used to know when I wasthere. [RANI] Doctor, this machine has to be repaired and you're the onlyperson with the knowledge to do it. [DOCTOR] Your confidence in me is very flattering, Mel. --------------------------------------- (Lakertya) [MEL] Will you listen? How many more times do I have to tell you I'm notyour enemy. Look, can we start from scratch? My name's Mel and I comefrom Earth. Your turn. [IKONA] This is no game. [MEL] All right, let's try another tack. You claim I was alone when youfound me. [IKONA] Oh, don't go on about this Doctor again. [MEL] I have to. [IKONA] There was no one else in the strange box. If he exists, he musthave left you. [MEL] No way. The Doctor wouldn't do that. [IKONA] If he has any sense he would. [MEL] It's not even up for discussion. [IKONA] Good, I shall enjoy the silence. [MEL] Watch out! [MEL] Now will you accept that I'm not your enemy? [IKONA] We must hurry. The Tetraps will come to investigate. [MEL] What made you think I was in league with them? [IKONA] You're not Lakertyan. You don't belong on this planet. [MEL] Then they're human, like me? [IKONA] No, not like you, although almost as hideous. --------------------------------------- (The Rani's laboratory) [DOCTOR] Come on, come on. [RANI] Come on where? [DOCTOR] Why I chose you as an assistant, I'll never know. Perhaps Iwill when I've regained my memory. [RANI] Well, what is it you want? [DOCTOR] Well, look at me. Can't you see? Mop my brow! [DOCTOR] What'd you do that for? [RANI] It was your fault. [DOCTOR] A bad workman always blames his fools. [RANI] Tools! Blames his tools! [DOCTOR] Do I detect a hint of bad temper, Mel? Why are you behaving souppity? Could it be that you think yourself superior to me? [RANI] Now how could I possibly think that, Doctor? [DOCTOR] Quite. Though at the moment I feel far from superior. This isall a mystery to me. [RANI] But surely there's a catalyst? [DOCTOR] Oh, yes, yes. Must you state the obvious? I know that itsfunctions diffuse the impulses from there with this goo. But what's itfor? I'm beginning to think this set-up's got nothing to do with me. [RANI] Why do you think that? [DOCTOR] Omnipotence. The mind behind this bag of tricks operates on agrand scale. [RANI] Well, all the more reason to suppose that it's you, Doctor. --------------------------------------- (Lakertya) [MEL] Hold on. I need a breather. [IKONA] We must keep moving. [MEL] What happened to the rest of your people? Won't they help? [IKONA] No, they've been completely subdued. [MEL] We could at least try. [IKONA] The only one they listen to is Beyus, our leader. [MEL] All right, let's go to him. [IKONA] He's the hostage I wanted to exchange you for. Shush. Listen. [IKONA] Quickly! [MEL] We can't go that way, it's completely exposed. [IKONA] For once, don't argue. [IKONA] Hopefully they'll think we doubled back to stay undercover. [MEL] Always providing they don't flush us out first. --------------------------------------- (The Rani's laboratory) [DOCTOR] What's in there? [RANI] I have no idea. [DOCTOR] Are you as clueless as you appear, Mel? [RANI] Don't blame me, Doctor. I've never been inside. You wouldn't letme. [DOCTOR] Wouldn't I? [RANI] No. You said the air wasn't sterile enough for humans. [DOCTOR] That's it, then. I'm doing nothing until my memory returns.Nothing until I know what I'm about. [RANI] Oh, come on, now. [DOCTOR] No, I will not work in the dark like this. [RANI] But you thrive on challenge. [DOCTOR] I'm adamant. This could be some diabolical scheme. [RANI] To do what? [DOCTOR] That's the question. [RANI] Oh, Doctor, really. [) RANI] You're just over-excited. Here, drink this. [DOCTOR] Hmm? What is it? [RANI] Just water. [DOCTOR] Oh, you drink it. I don't want it. Don't try to humour me.Leave me alone. [RANI] You can't loll around. It's simply not like you. [DOCTOR] How do you know what I'm like? I've regenerated. I mean, lookat me. Look at me. [RANI] Yes, you've changed outwardly. But I'm sure you must still havethe same sweet nature. [DOCTOR] Perhaps this is my new persona. Sulky, bad-tempered. I mean,think how I spoke to you earlier. [RANI] But you didn't mean it. I was at fault. [DOCTOR] Even so, that's probably how I am now. You don't understandregeneration, Mel. It's a lottery, and I've drawn the short plank.Anyway, I need a radiation wave meter and, brilliant as I am, even Ican't improvise that. [RANI] What about the Tardis? Won't there be a radiation wave meterthere? [DOCTOR] The Tardis? Do you know where it is? [RANI] Yes, of course. [DOCTOR] Oh, good. I fancy a breath of fresh air. We'll both go. [RANI] No, wait. [RANI] Urak? [URAK [OC]] Yes, mistress? [RANI] Remove the girl from the Tardis immediately. [URAK [OC]] She is not there, mistress. [RANI] Well then, find her, you incompetent fool! [DOCTOR] Are you coming, Mel? [RANI] Yes, Doctor, coming. --------------------------------------- (Lakertya) [MEL] No one about. Come on. [IKONA] No! It's too soon. [MEL] Not for me. I'm going to find the Doctor. [IKONA] If he's been captured, he's as good as dead. [DOCTOR] Rather unusual species. Can't say I recognise it. Humanoid withreptilian influences, wouldn't you say, Mel? [RANI] Lakertyan. A race so indolent they can't be bothered to burytheir dead. [DOCTOR] Really? I suppose we've explored this planet. I wish I couldremember. [RANI] There's not a lot to remember. The benevolent climate has inducedlethargy. They've failed to realise their full potential. [DOCTOR] Rather a harsh judgment, Mel. [RANI] Not mine. Yours. [DOCTOR] The more I know me, the less I like me. [MEL] All right, I'll find him without you. One thing about the Doctor,you can't miss him in that outfit. --------------------------------------- (Wardrobe room) [DOCTOR] No, I think not. Lacks my natural humility. [DOCTOR] Doesn't look right without a horse. I need something moredignified, Timelord-ish. [DOCTOR] A little portentous, perhaps, Mel? [RANI] Pretentious is the word. [DOCTOR] Old hat? [DOCTOR] Not frilled. (Peter Davison's cricketing gear, with bat andpads.) [DOCTOR] How's that? Would that bowl a maiden over? [RANI] Yes, yes, yes. Very elegant. [DOCTOR] Ah, thank goodness in this regeneration I've regained myimpeccable sense of haute couture. [RANI] If you've finished preening, could we please get what we camefor? [(The Doctor turns and starts to see that this Mel is not the real Mel.She slaps his face.) RANI] I'm sorry, but you seemed to be losingcontrol. [DOCTOR] I was hallucinating. I had an overwhelming sense of evil. Andthere was a word. Ra, Ra, Ran, Rad [RANI] Radiation wave meter. That's what we came here for. [DOCTOR] Oh yes. Where do you reckon I'd keep it? [RANI] Tool room. [DOCTOR] Won't be a jiffy. Absence makes the nose grow longer. (TheDoctor leaves.) [RANI] Cretin. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [RANI] Yes, Urak. What is it? [URAK [OC]] We have found the lost girl, mistress. [RANI] Focus in on her. [URAK [OC]] Certainly, Mistress Rani. [DOCTOR] Rani, that's the name, the evil name. [RANI] Is that her, Doctor? [DOCTOR] Er, well, yes, it must be. Yes. [RANI] And she's evil? [DOCTOR] Completely. [RANI] Then she must be destroyed. [DOCTOR] Destroyed? Let's not be hasty. --------------------------------------- (Lakertya) [MEL] Doctor! Help! [MEL] Help! --------------------------------------- (Lakertya) [MEL] Help! [MEL] Help! Help me! [IKONA] Be quiet and don't move. [MEL] Have you, have you done this before? [IKONA] No, this is the first time, but Mel, if you don't stopsquawking, it'll be the last. --------------------------------------- (The Rani's laboratory) [DOCTOR] You know, I can't help feeling sorry for the Rani, Mel, gettingcaught in her own devious trap. [RANI] She's got nobody to blame but herself. [DOCTOR] I suppose so, but what was she doing prowling around onLakertya? [RANI] Well, I'd have thought the reason was obvious. [DOCTOR] Is it? [RANI] She must be on the brink of a major discovery. [DOCTOR] Have to be a cosmic breakthrough for a neurochemist of herstature to come storming the barricades. [RANI] All the more reason to press on, get there first. You'verepeatedly said that in the wrong hands, scientific knowledge can bedangerous. [DOCTOR] What scientific knowledge? What am I doing? If only I couldremember. [RANI/RANI] Oh, don't start all that again. Look, repair the machine andmaybe we'll find the solution. [DOCTOR] The machine won't tell me what's behind that locked door, willit? The machine won't restore my memory, will it? If the Rani was afterour experiment, we must be playing with fire. [RANI] Oh, forget the Rani. She's finished, destroyed. [DOCTOR] Is she? Oh, don't underestimate her. She's a brilliant butsterile mind. There's not one spark of decency in her. [RANI] I'm overwhelmed. [DOCTOR] You are? [RANI] Such superior diagnostic talents. [DOCTOR] It's my forte. [RANI] Well then, it's a pity they can't be concentrated on the machine. [DOCTOR] And another thing. Why was the Rani dressed like you, Mel? [RANI] Perhaps she's fashion conscious. [DOCTOR] No. She was in disguise. Practising another one of her talents. [RANI] Really? Are you going to be much longer in there, Doctor? [DOCTOR] Afraid so. More hasta less vista. --------------------------------------- (Lakertya) [MEL] Any sign of the, what did you call it? [IKONA] Tetraps. No. Come, keep moving. [MEL] Look. Look, look, I'm grateful for your help, of course, butgratitude isn't going to turn me into a puppet. [IKONA] I've already come to that painful conclusion. [MEL] Well then, tell me, are we just running scared or are we headingfor somewhere in particular? [IKONA] The answer to both questions is yes. Now can we go? [IKONA] Wait here. [MEL] Hurry, Ikona! Hurry! [DOCTOR] I cannot understand how I could have made such a fundamentalmistake. [RANI] Let me. [RANI] What was the mistake? [DOCTOR] The heat radiation from the catalyst was of high frequency. [RANI] You mean I, you used the wrong heat conducting material? [DOCTOR] So elementary. I broke the second law of thermodynamics. [RANI] So, if we substituted a suitable material, would it work? [DOCTOR] You should know the answer to that, Mel. Didn't C P Snowexpound on thermodynamics? [RANI] Doctor, is this relevant? [DOCTOR] Well, you said you admired all his writings, read all hisbooks. [RANI] Did I? Oh, I must have forgotten. [DOCTOR] You, Mel, forget? A kangaroo never forgets. [RANI] Elephant. [DOCTOR] Oh, yes. Memory like an elephant. A running gag applied to you,I feel sure, Mel. [RANI] Oh. Perhaps the machine exploding affected my memory too. Doctor,what were the readings? [DOCTOR] Oh here, see for yourself. --------------------------------------- (Outside the Rani's HQ) [IKONA] That's where they've set up headquarters. [MEL] Well then, that's where the Doctor must be. [IKONA] You can't be sure. [MEL] I can. You don't know the Doctor. [IKONA] If he's in there, I probably never will. [MEL] There's no if about it. He's in there. [MEL] Any idea what the central ramp's for? [IKONA] No. All I know is that building it cost the lives of manyLakertyans. [MEL] Something must have gone terribly wrong. [IKONA] The logic of that escapes me. [MEL] Well, they kidnapped the Doctor, and no one would do that unlessthey were desperate for his help. He's not exactly predictable. [IKONA] Come on. --------------------------------------- (The Rani's laboratory) [RANI] Would PHB or PES do? [DOCTOR] What? [RANI] I asked you a question! [DOCTOR] Did you? Mel, there's something caged in there. [RANI] Yes, I dare say. Would PHB or PES do? [DOCTOR] Eh? [RANI] As a suitable material for the machine. [DOCTOR] Oh, yes. PHB. It's biodegradable. We don't want to litter upLakertya with non-destructible waste like they're doing on your planet,Mel. [RANI] What are you looking for? [DOCTOR] Sugar and starch. We can ferment our own. [RANI] You won't find it there. What about the alternative? [DOCTOR] PES? No, not so good. It's a petroleum based plastic. [RANI] Slightly amber, almost opaque? [DOCTOR] Mmm. [RANI] I know where I can get some. [DOCTOR] Where? [RANI] From the Lakertyans. You repair the machine, I'll go and get it. [DOCTOR] But I thought you said the Lakertyans weren't very advanced. [RANI] Did I? [DOCTOR] Yes. [DOCTOR] When we discovered that sad skeleton. --------------------------------------- (Lakertya) [IKONA] Wait here. [IKONA] Faroon. [FAROON] I'm glad to see you, Ikona, although I shouldn't be. [IKONA] Does sitting on opposite sides of the fence mean we can't stillbe friends? [FAROON] I'm afraid it does when you cut yourself off from the rest ofus, and deliberately ignore Beyus' instructions. [IKONA] I can't accept he's right to collaborate. [FAROON] He is being held hostage. He has no choice. It's the only waythat Beyus can save the rest of us from destruction. [MEL] He didn't save her, did he. [IKONA] It's all right, Faroon. She's not with the Tetraps. [FAROON] You said her? [MEL] Yes. Well, she was running away from something. [FAROON] You saw what happened too, Ikona? You're not usually soreluctant to air your thoughts. From which direction did she come? [MEL] Well, along there. It was as though she was escaping from theTetrap headquarters. [IKONA] It was Sarn. [MEL] Who was Sarn? [IKONA] The daughter of Faroon and Beyus. [MEL] I'm sorry. I didn't realise. [FAROON] I, I had to be told. [IKONA] There was nothing to be done. She stepped on a trap. [FAROON] Yet another victim. I must go to Beyus. [IKONA] Where are you going? [MEL] If Beyus is collaborating then he must be in the Tetrapheadquarters, and that's where the Doctor will be. --------------------------------------- (Outside the Rani's HQ) [IKONA] You're still determined to get in? [MEL] No matter what the risk. [IKONA] Madness. [IKONA] It must be contagious. I'll draw him off. --------------------------------------- (The Rani's laboratory) [MEL] Who are you? [DOCTOR] You! Where's Mel? [MEL] Where's the Doctor? [DOCTOR] What have you done with her? [MEL] Stay away from me. What have you done with the Doctor? [MEL] Now we'll get to the truth. What have you done with him, youbrute? [DOCTOR] He's here! [MEL] Where? Under the carpet? [DOCTOR] It's me, you washer woman! Me! [MEL] Never! You're nothing like him. If the Doctor's been harmed, I [MEL] Help! Put me down! Oh! [DOCTOR] Drop the melodramatics. Your pathetic impersonation doesn'tfool me at all. Incidentally, that wig's not you. --------------------------------------- (Lakertya) [URAK] I am sorry, Mistress. I have not seen you dressed in theseclothes before. [RANI] Inquests bore me. --------------------------------------- (The Rani's laboratory) [DOCTOR] I knew you weren't finished, Rani. I toldMel as much. [MEL] You told me? [DOCTOR] No, Mel! [MEL] I am Mel. Who's the Rani? [DOCTOR] Try looking in the mirror at the face of evil. [MEL] I've had enough of this drivel. [DOCTOR] All right, compromise. Let me feel your pulse. [MEL] Don't touch me! [DOCTOR] Ah, the proof of the pumpkin's in the squeezing. [MEL] You don't even talk like the Doctor, you miserable fraud. [DOCTOR] Let me feel your pulse. Pulses, I should say. Two of them. Onefor each heart. [MEL] You're a raving lunatic. [DOCTOR] Yes, perhaps I am, because if you're the Rani, I'm dicing withdestruction. [MEL] And if I'm Mel? [DOCTOR] Mel? The worst she'll do is give me carrot juice. Carrot juice?What made me think of that? [MEL] Well, perhaps the real Doctor told you. It was his favouritedrink. [DOCTOR] Favourite? I hate it. [MEL] Oh. [DOCTOR] Ah, caught you out, haven't I. [MEL] But if you're the real Doctor, then why do you look like that? [DOCTOR] I've regenerated, and I'm suffering from post-regenerativeamnesia, as far as I can remember. Fair exchange is no mockery. Youfeel my pulses, I'll feel yours. I'll lean across here with my armbehind my back, if you want proof I'm a Time Lord. Come on. [MEL] A double pulse. Then you really are the Doctor. [DOCTOR] That's what I've been trying to tell you. Now yours. [MEL] I know about regeneration, of course. [DOCTOR] Mel? [MEL] But you're completely different. Nothing like you were. Face,height, hair, everything's changed. [DOCTOR] Yes. And I've become more of a fool too, it seems, Mel. Doesn'tbode well for my seventh persona, being so completely taken in by thewretched Rani. [MEL] The Rani? Is that who hijacked the Tardis? [DOCTOR] But what does she want with me? --------------------------------------- (Outside the Rani's Tardis) [RANI] Where do you think you're going? [URAK] With you, mistress. [RANI] I told you not to enter my Tardis without permission. Now stayhere. --------------------------------------- (The Rani's laboratory) [DOCTOR] Strange matter. [MEL] Never heard of it. [DOCTOR] You should have, Mel. A Princeton physicist discovered it inyour Earth year 1984. [MEL] Computers are my speciality, not nuclear physics. [DOCTOR] It's an incredibly dense form of matter. A lump the size ofthis would weigh more than your planet Earth. [MEL] Well, what can the Rani's interest be? [DOCTOR] An astute question. If that asteroid exploded, it would sendoff a blast of gamma rays equivalent to a supernova. [MEL] And then it'd be goodbye, Lakertya. [DOCTOR] And everything else in this corner of the galaxy. When the Ranidabbles, she dabbles on a grand scale. [DOCTOR] Here, go and listen. [MEL] It's weird. It's like a giant heartbeat. [DOCTOR] Yes. But why, Mel, why? What is she up to? It starts here. [MEL] Oh, forget it, Doctor. Let's hightail it back to the Tardis andget out of here. [DOCTOR] And leave the Lakertyans to the machinations --------------------------------------- (Genius room) [DOCTOR [OC]] Of the Rani? Impossible! Given time I'll work out thecombination. [BEYUS] Nine five three. --------------------------------------- (The Rani's laboratory) [DOCTOR] Did you hear a voice, or am Ihallucinating? [BEYUS [OC]] Nine five three. [MEL] Well, go on, quick. Nine five three. [DOCTOR] Who'd have thought she'd have been so obvious. Huh. That's myage. And the Rani's. --------------------------------------- (Outside the Rani's Tardis) [RANI] The girl's on the loose. Find her before she finds the Doctor. [URAK] Yes, mistress. --------------------------------------- (Genius room) [MEL] Hypatia. Einstein! [BEYUS] Names which are meaningless to us. [DOCTOR] Geniuses, every one of them. The Rani's collected together themost creative minds and the most powerful matter in the universe. [FAROON] She's a murderess. Sarn was not her first victim. There've beenmany. [DOCTOR] The scope of her imagination is breathtaking. [BEYUS] You sound as though you admire her. [DOCTOR] Not admiration, fascination. And sadness. If only the Ranicould have redirected her incredible talents for good. [MEL] The fascination's mutual. She's reserved this one for you. [DOCTOR] What is it I can contribute these other geniuses can't? [MEL] You're a Time Lord. [DOCTOR] With a unique conceptual understanding of the properties oftime. --------------------------------------- (The Rani's laboratory) [DOCTOR] Do you know what's behind that door? [BEYUS] I've never been permitted to see. [DOCTOR] Pity. Beyus, why have you assisted? [BEYUS] Collaborated is the word that you are avoiding, Doctor. I've nochoice. [FAROON] She's coming! [DOCTOR] Take Mel. [FAROON] I'll take her with me. [MEL] Doctor, you can't stay. [DOCTOR] Go, Mel. Go. [DOCTOR] Ah yes, yes. Let me see. Polyethersulphone. Excellent. Howclever you are, Mel. Where did you find it? [RANI] In the store room. Doctor, why was the monitor on? [DOCTOR] On, is it? Oh, yes. I was trying to jog my memory. No luckthough. Hold the other end, Mel. [DOCTOR] You're not concentrating, Mel. Hold it steady. We've got tomanoeuvre it into position. [RANI] Quite adept at manoeuvring, aren't you, Doctor? [DOCTOR] Yes, well, where there's a will, there's a Tom, Dick and aHarriet. [RANI] Do I take it the machine's now operational? [DOCTOR] Oh. no, no, no. There's some information I simply must havebefore I make the final delicate adjustments. [RANI] Such as? [DOCTOR] Ideally, what's behind that door? [RANI] Less ideally? [DOCTOR] The identity of this rather interesting substance. [RANI] The information's essential, is it? [DOCTOR] Crucial. [RANI] So if I told you its chemical composition, I could do that. [DOCTOR] No, stop! [RANI] You know, don't you. [RANI] But your usefulness is not yet over. You have another role toplay. --------------------------------------- (Tetrap lair) [DOCTOR] I say, I mean, we may not see eye to eye.Try and see it my way. I'm trying not to be personal. I mean, afterall, a bat may look at a Time Lord. [BEYUS] Doctor, hurry. --------------------------------------- (Outside the Rani's HQ) [FAROON] She's looking for us. [MEL] Maybe, but I can think of a more likely explanation. The Doctor'son the loose. Whatever the reason, Faroon, you mustn't be caught withme. [FAROON] I can't leave you. I promised. [MEL] I'll be all right. Now go. Please. --------------------------------------- (Genius room) [BEYUS] No, you'll have to escape through thelaboratory. The Rani went that way. [URAK [OC]] Mistress Rani? [URAK] You, Lakertyan, have you seen the mistress? Well, quickly,answer! [BEYUS] She went into the grounds. [URAK] Oh, out of my way. The mistress has profound insight, but I thinkshe is mistaken to rely on any of your worthless race. [DOCTOR] I can't say I share the Rani's taste in pets. [BEYUS] The Tetraps are nobody's pets and you'd be wise not to forgetit. [DOCTOR] This is what I'll never forget. Unique talents every one ofthem. The Rani's roamed the universe plucking these geniuses out oftime, at the height of their powers and reducing them to the status oflaboratory specimens. [BEYUS] Doctor, please hurry. [DOCTOR] Time, the concept of time. I'm sure that's at the heart of whatshe's up to. Otherwise why reserve a place for me, a Time Lord, in thisabysmal parade. [BEYUS] If you're still here when she gets back, you'll find out frominside the cabinet. [DOCTOR] Which you will help her put me in. [BEYUS] If she catches you, yes. [DOCTOR] You know, Beyus, your collaboration with the Rani's difficultto understand. [BEYUS] My people are under threat. If you do manage to escape, go tothe Centre of Leisure. You will find the reason there. Now hurry,Doctor. --------------------------------------- (The Rani's laboratory) [BEYUS] Be careful, Doctor. The grounds outside area minefield of traps. [DOCTOR] Nothing outside compared to this. [BEYUS] A harmless asteroid? [DOCTOR] It's composed of strange matter, Beyus. A devastating force.With the right trigger, that harmless asteroid, as you call it, couldincinerate your planet and anything else in this corner of the galaxy.And what does the Rani keep behind there? Oh, all good things come to abend. [DOCTOR] Microthermistor. I doubt if she'll have a spare. [BEYUS] She won't need one. You're going to put it back. Give it to me. [DOCTOR] I had no intention of hurting you. [RANI [OC]] Beyus! [RANI] Who sabotaged this? What happened? [BEYUS] Ah, my head. [RANI] Was it the Doctor? [BEYUS] I don't know. He tried to steal something from the cabinet. Itried to stop him. --------------------------------------- (Lakertya) [URAK] The Mistress will be overjoyed to see you. You know where to takeher. [IKONA [OC]] Stop! Don't take another step. [DOCTOR] Here's a turn up for the cook. A rock that talks. [IKONA] You must be the Doctor. I've met your companion, Mel. [DOCTOR] Don't hold that against me. [IKONA] Oh, I see where she gets her sense of humour. You're going toneed it. [DOCTOR] That bad? [IKONA] Look down. [IKONA] Now step back, very slowly. [DOCTOR] Hello. Haven't I seen you hanging around somewhere? --------------------------------------- (Genius room) [RANI] Take her away. [RANI] Faroon? You can tell the Doctor he can have the girl in returnfor the microthermistor he stole. [FAROON] And where will I find this Doctor? [RANI] He'll make contact with the other Lakertyans and try to stir uptrouble, so don't be taken in by his glib tongue. [BEYUS] Do as she says, Faroon. You know the penalty our people willhave to pay if you disobey. [FAROON] But shouldn't we try to escape as Sarn did? [BEYUS] Faroon, I have obeyed all of the Rani's commands, carried outthe most menial of tasks. Now that she has almost completed theexperiment, why should I take the risk? [FAROON] And when her work is finished, what happens then? [BEYUS] She will leave Lakertya. [FAROON] Will she, Beyus? [BEYUS] That was her promise. [FAROON] And when she does? [BEYUS] Our lives will return to normal. [FAROON] Normal, Beyus? Without Sarn? [BEYUS] Faroon, deliver the message to the Doctor. I believe that youwill find him in the Centre of Leisure. --------------------------------------- (Centre of Leisure - entrance) [DOCTOR] No restrictions for movement. The Lakertyans can come and gofreely, then. [IKONA] Provided they obey the instructions of Beyus and don't try toget into the laboratory. --------------------------------------- (Centre of Leisure) [IKONA] The Centre of Leisure. The Centre of Indolence. [DOCTOR] Not a favourite haunt of yours, I take it, Ikona. [IKONA] No. I can't imagine why Beyus told you to come to this place. [DOCTOR] He said I'd find the answer to his subservience here. [IKONA] From these spineless pleasure seekers? [DOCTOR] Why not? [IKONA] It would require effort, that's why, Doctor. They've becomespoon-fed drones. There's no need for them to strive. An indulgentsystem provides all. Well, didn't Beyus give you any clue as to what tolook for? [DOCTOR] He was too anxious for explanations. But whatever the threat,it must be considerable. Do you see anything that's different? New? [IKONA] Only that. Another pointless embellishment. [DOCTOR] Hmm, I wonder. Couldn't we ask someone, you know, if [IKONA] We'll be interrupting their pleasure. [IKONA] Could you tell me what that globe's for? [IKONA] I did warn you. [DOCTOR] There's none so deaf as those that clutch at straws. [IKONA] If you say so. Lanisha! [LANISHA] Ikona. [IKONA] Lanisha. Can you tell me what that globe's for? [LANISHA] We've been forbidden to have anything to do with you, Ikona. [IKONA] You would ignore your own brother? [LANISHA] I obey the orders of Beyus. --------------------------------------- (The Rani's laboratory) [RANI] Do you recognise these? [URAK] Answer the mistress Rani! [BEYUS] They're from the fireworks that we used to have at our carnival. [RANI] These were fired at no carnival. These were used to enable theDoctor to escape. [URAK] Causing the death of a Tetrap. [BEYUS] None of my followers would be responsible. [RANI] You're careful not deny it's the work of a Lakertyan. [BEYUS] You will be punishing the innocent. [RANI] Guilt by association. I warned you of the consequences ofsubversion. --------------------------------------- (Centre of Leisure) [LAKERTYAN] Look out, they kill! [IKONA] Killer insects! Come on, Doctor. [FAROON] Do you still insist that Beyus should not count the cost ofresistance, Ikona? If every cell in the globe were opened, therewouldn't be a Lakertyan left alive. [DOCTOR] Hmm, killer insects. [FAROON] Doctor, I have a message for you. --------------------------------------- (Lakertya) [DOCTOR] Let Mel come towards me. I've kept my side of the bargain.You've got what you want. [URAK] So stupid. You are not a worthy opponent for the Rani. [DOCTOR] What's he crowing on about, Mel? [DOCTOR] A hologram! As substantial as the Rani's scruples. --------------------------------------- (Genius room) [RANI] As soon as the machine is operational,increase the brain stimulation. [BEYUS] But that would take it above the danger level. [RANI] I'm in danger of missing the solstice, which is far moreimportant. [BEYUS] The computer control needs constant monitoring. I can't managealone. [RANI] So I've anticipated, and I've got just the expert for you. [RANI] Beyus, she's your responsibility. [BEYUS] Mine? But I can't govern her. She's not a Lakertyan. [RANI] Just make certain she understands the penalty fornon-cooperation. --------------------------------------- (Lakertya) [IKONA] Doctor, in my opinion, returning to thelaboratory is a pointless exercise. I've a feeling Mel's beyond allhelp. [DOCTOR] Oh, the Rani would never go to those extremes. She never doesanything without reason. [IKONA] Well then, why the hologram? Why didn't she just release Mel? [DOCTOR] A bird in the hand keeps the Doctor away. [IKONA] You're probably right. [DOCTOR] Only on this occasion, it'll have the opposite affect. --------------------------------------- (The Rani's laboratory) [RANI] The increase in brain activity is not enough. I'm going to missthe solstice. [URAK] Perhaps the stimulation of a greater genius. A brilliance thatsurpasses all others, mistress. [RANI] Do I gather you're suggesting that I climb into one of thosecabinets? [URAK] Your capable presence is wasted in here and I could operate themachine. [RANI] Yes, I'm sure you could. Urak! Come with me. --------------------------------------- (Genius room) [RANI] Prepare the Doctor's cabinet for occupation. [MEL] Well, that'll be a waste of effort. You've got to find him firstand then catch him. [RANI] I need neither find nor catch him. The bumbling fool's ready madeas a sacrificial lamb. [MEL] He's shrewder than you think. Underestimating the Doctor is acommon fault. [RANI] Really? [MEL] He's got qualities you'll never have. [RANI] Such as? [MEL] Something I'd call humanity. [RANI] Huh. You're as sentimental as he is. Get on with your work. [BEYUS] Don't antagonise her. She has only to press a button for everyLakertyan to be exterminated. [MEL] I could nominate a few candidates for extermination myself. --------------------------------------- (Outside the Rani's HQ) [DOCTOR] Hmm, a space rocket launcher, sure enough.But have you noticed it's got a fixed trajectory? [IKONA] No doubt it'll still play havoc with our planet. [DOCTOR] Maybe as a side effect, Ikona, but not the intention. I'd saythe target is the asteroid of strange matter, which means the launch islocked into a precise time. [IKONA] Could it be the solstice? That's due. [DOCTOR] Assuming it is, the Rani's overriding priority will be to meetthat countdown. No more setbacks or delays. I must go back to thelaboratory. That sealed chamber, I've got to get in there. Out of thefrying pan into the mire. Right, Ikona, start the diversionary tactics. [IKONA] Have a care, Doctor. This bluff worked once. The Tetraps mightnot fall for it again. [URAK] We have been expecting you, Doctor. --------------------------------------- (Genius room) [MEL] We must be able to do something. Can't wemake it blow a fuse? [BEYUS] What good would that do? At least he'll be kept alive in here. [MEL] Don't try to reason me into compliance, Beyus. You're wasting yourbreath. [MEL] Doctor! [URAK] You, Lakertyan. Connect this specimen to the main input. [MEL] No, leave him alone. I won't let you do [BEYUS] You have no choice. [BEYUS] Now, listen to me. They are completely without conscience. Theywill not hesitate to kill. --------------------------------------- (The Rani's laboratory) [URAK] All went as you planned, mistress. [RANI] Good. --------------------------------------- (Genius room) [BEYUS] Set the temperature gauge, Mel. [MEL] I'm setting nothing. [BEYUS] Stubbornness will not help the Doctor. [MEL] And putting him in here will? Huh. Some twisted philosophy, if youlike. [RANI] How far have you got? [BEYUS] I need to realign the final calibrations before he can beconnected to the main input. [RANI] Make certain that the levels are kept stable. [MEL] If you're hoping for any positive results, you're going to bedisappointed. The Doctor won't collaborate. [RANI] I'm sure, were he able, he'd express his appreciation of suchunstinting confidence. As soon as the activity indicator reaches eightpoint one five, increase the stimulation. --------------------------------------- (Brain chamber) [BRAIN] To reproduce the Leptonic Era temperature of ten to the power oftwelve K, it will be essential to create a cataclysmic explosion, theequivalent of a supernova. [RANI] Is this what you're looking for? [BRAIN] Our time dilation is not in question. Our understanding of timeis still at a primitive stage. [RANI] It won't be once the Doctor has added his contribution. [MEL] No! --------------------------------------- (The Rani's laboratory) [RANI] Beyus! [BEYUS [OC]] Yes? --------------------------------------- (Genius room) [RANI] Is the Doctor connected to the main input? [BEYUS] Everything is ready. [RANI] Then switch on! [MEL] No, Beyus! For once don't do as she [RANI] The Doctor's well-being is in your hands now. Remember that. --------------------------------------- (Brain chamber) [BRAIN] The barrier to understanding time is empirical thinking. Isuggest a lateral approach. --------------------------------------- (Genius room) [URAK] You, Lakertyan, you will be responsible forthis creature's behaviour. --------------------------------------- (The Rani's laboratory) [URAK] Time is getting short if we are to be ready for the solstice,mistress. [RANI] I'm aware of that. [URAK] The Doctor must have had assistance from a Lakertyan rebel. [RANI] Mmm. [URAK] Shall I release the insects and kill all the Lakertyans? [RANI] Too drastic. [URAK] It is uncharacteristic of the mistress to be sentimental. [RANI] Sentiment has nothing to do with it. Wasting a resource does.Until this experiment is successfully concluded I can't be certain thatI won't need them as a labour force. Selective retribution will bringany dissidents to heel. --------------------------------------- (Genius room) [MEL] She might think she's harnessed the brain ofa Time Lord but she's reckoned without one thing. [BEYUS] And what's that? [MEL] The Doctor's character. --------------------------------------- (Brain chamber) [MAN [OC]] I still assert that electron positron pairs can be preventedfrom recombining into photons. [DOCTOR [OC]] Really, this is not the place for double entendres. [WOMAN [OC]] You are all contributing gibberish. [MAN [OC]] My theory will provide the formula. [DOCTOR [OC]] A fool and his formula are soon parted. [MAN [OC]] Outrageous polemics. [DOCTOR [OC]] Gentlemen, such hostility. Remember, blessed are the piemakers for they shall make light pastry. [EINSTEIN] It is a fundamental postulate that all motion is relative. [DOCTOR [OC]] You wouldn't say that if you met my uncle. [MAN [OC]] Dismissing our position as decadent heresy is the refuge ofthe reactionary. [DOCTOR [OC]] Ah well, every dogma has its day. [RANI] I'll kill him! [WOMAN [OC]] It is stated in the special theory and has beendemonstrated that an increase in velocity will increase matter. [RANI] I'll kill him! [DOCTOR [OC]] Exactly. The faster a fat man runs, the fatter he willget. [WOMAN [OC]] Well, of course --------------------------------------- (Genius room) [RANI] Quickly, disconnect the Doctor. The fool has provoked multiple schizophrenia. [MEL] Congratulations. You brought us here. [RANI] And I shall dispose of you. This will rid me of the pair of you. [DOCTOR] Quick, Mel, don't just stand there, help me! [RANI] Let go of me, you interfering maniac. [MEL] Give her a taste of her own medicine. Shall I switch on? [DOCTOR] No, Mel. Two wrongs don't make a left turn. Right. [RANI] Let me out! Let me out! Do you hear me? --------------------------------------- (Brain chamber) [MEL] Doctor, before this regeneration you were onkeen on cats and you know what curiosity did to them. [DOCTOR] Leave the quotes to the expert, Mel. [DOCTOR] The rocket! It's a fixed trajectory. [MEL] It isn't all that will be fixed if we don't get out of here. [DOCTOR] So, the target is the asteroid, which at any moment now willreach the solstice and I'm sure that's the deadline. He who daresspins. [DOCTOR] Whoops. A supernova. --------------------------------------- (Centre of Leisure) [URAK] Put those on the legs of all the Lakertyans. Disobey and I willrelease the killer insects from the globe. [FAROON] Why are you doing this? We've cooperated. [URAK] Silence, Lakertyan! There have been too many unfriendly acts. [FAROON] Not by us. This is unjust. At least tell us what they're for. [URAK] I will demonstrate with the greatest of pleasure. You! --------------------------------------- (Genius room) [RANI] Beyus. Beyus, is that you? Let me out. [RANI] Do you hear me? Open this door. Beyus, if you place any value onyour people's lives, you will release me. --------------------------------------- (Centre of Leisure) [IKONA] I'll try and contact the Doctor. We need his help. --------------------------------------- (Brain chamber) [DOCTOR] Do you realise how close the Rani musthave taken her Tardis in order to record that? [MEL] All I realise is that we've seen what she intends to happen toLakertya. Can she do it? [DOCTOR] Not by my reckoning. The only known detonator for exploding astrange matter asteroid is strange matter itself. [MEL] You said that strange matter was incredibly heavy. [DOCTOR] A lump the size of this brain would weigh as much as an entireplanet. [MEL] Well, could she be using the brain to come up with a formula [DOCTOR] For a lightweight substitute. Could be, could be. [MEL] Well then, haven't we come up with the answer? [DOCTOR] Not completely. What I can't fathom is why the Rani took suchan incredible risk to record a supernova. [MEL] To discover how to reconstruct the same event. [DOCTOR] No, more than that. She wouldn't be simply interested in adisplay of pyrotechnics. Too negative. No, there's a deeper motive andthe answer's in here. [MEL] Well, calm down. Let's apply a bit of logic, shall we? What is itthat you can contribute that those other geniuses can't? [DOCTOR] A knowledge of time. Oh, a great discovery. I worked that outages ago. [RANI] So now you know. [DOCTOR] Not the complete story. The last chapter's missing. Keepingquiet, isn't it? [RANI] Perhaps, unlike you, it only speaks when it has somethingintelligent to say. [DOCTOR] Possibly. On the other hand it could be wondering why you wanthelium two. That's why you want to explode strange matter, isn't it? Toreproduce helium two. [RANI] The last chapter, Doctor. The denouement. [RANI] In the aftermath of the explosion, helium two will fuse with theupper zones of the Lakertyan atmosphere to form a shell of chronons. Idon't have to tell you what chronons are, do I, Doctor? [DOCTOR] Indeed you don't. (to Mel) Discrete particles of time. [RANI] In the same millisecond that chronon shell is being formed, thehothouse effect of the gamma rays will cause the primate functions ofthe brain to go into chain reaction, multiplying until the gap betweenshell and planet is filled. [DOCTOR] A time manipulator. You're going to change this planet into atime manipulator. [RANI] A cerebral mass capable of dominating and controlling timeanywhere in the cosmos. [DOCTOR] I don't believe it. A time manip. This monstrosity will giveyou the ability to change the order of creation. [RANI] Creation's chaotic. I shall introduce order. Wherever evolutionhas taken the wrong route, I shall redirect it. That planet you're soobsessed with, Earth, I shall return to the Cretaceous age. MEL [RANI] The potential of the dinosaurs was never fully realised. [DOCTOR] That means Shakespeare, Michelangelo, Louis Pasteur, Elvis,even Mrs Malaprop will never have existed. --------------------------------------- (The Rani's laboratory) [RANI [OC]] Your concern for these minions is pathetic. They're aninferior species. [DOCTOR [OC]] Thrust into the oblivion. [RANI] Why not? [DOCTOR [OC]] The same with Lakertya. All life on this planet willbecome extinct. [RANI [OC]] An unfortunate side effect. [DOCTOR [OC]] All living creatures left behind exterminated. [RANI [OC]] Of which you, Doctor, will be one. [DOCTOR [OC]] While you float off safely in your Tardis. --------------------------------------- (Brain chamber) [RANI] Oh, I shall be back once, the turbulence hassubsided. [DOCTOR] Before I thought you were a psychopath without murderousintent. I withdraw the qualification. [BRAIN] Eighty seven K to the power of nineteen E correlated with fiftytwo to the power of six point four equals twenty nine V [DOCTOR] Thirty nine. [BRAIN] Correction is noted. Thirty nine V plus W. Eureka! Objectiveachieved. Loyhargil. [RANI] I knew it! I knew they could do it! --------------------------------------- (The Rani's laboratory) [MEL] Doctor! [DOCTOR] Stay back! [DOCTOR] As you snore, so shall you sleep. [MEL] Doctor. [DOCTOR] Waste net, want net. [MEL] Come on! --------------------------------------- (Outside the Rani's HQ) [MEL] About time, Ikona. [IKONA] Doctor, I've got to talk to you. [DOCTOR] And so you shall. You have a big part to play, Ikona. You muststir up the Lakertyans into fighting back. Come, quickly. --------------------------------------- (Brain chamber) [DOCTOR] The Doctor must be apprehended, mistress. [RANI] He is irrelevant. I have the Loyhargil. Nothing can stop me now. --------------------------------------- (Centre of Leisure) [IKONA] Unless you can tell them how to removesthese bangles, they can't help. [DOCTOR] Hmm. [DOCTOR] You've got to give the Rani full marks for ingenuity. [IKONA] Perhaps if we're careful we can cut them. [MEL] Oh, that's a daft idea. They're bound to be booby trapped. [DOCTOR] Less of the pessimism, Mel. Not all the cards are in the Rani'sflavour. [DOCTOR] Now, if we were to run a wire from here round to here, then thecircuit wouldn't be broken when the bangle was open. Mel. You're thecomputer expert. How about it? [MEL] Where am I going to find the right sort of wire? [IKONA] Where there's a will, there's a [DOCTOR] Beneficiary. Good thinking, Ikona. [DOCTOR] Well done, Mel. Ikona, I'm relying on you to help theLakertyans help themselves for once. Remove the bangles. [IKONA] Right. [FAROON] Doctor, haven't you overlooked something? If the Rani releasesthe insects, we'll all be dead. [DOCTOR] She's not the only one with a sting in her tail. [FAROON] Sting? [DOCTOR] Sting. A double bluff. A speciality of mine. --------------------------------------- (Brain chamber) [RANI] You'll stay on guard until after lift off. [URAK] After lift off, mistress? [RANI] You said yourself that the Doctor could still cause trouble.Remain here and see that he doesn't. [COMPUTER] One four nine. [URAK] And where is the mistress going? [RANI] To my Tardis. I want to monitor the experiment from there. [COMPUTER] One four six. [URAK] I would prefer to go with you. [RANI] No doubt, but you can't! [COMPUTER] One four two. One four one. One four oh. One three nine. Onethree eight. One three seven. One three six. One three five. One threefour. One three three. One three two. One three one. --------------------------------------- (Genius room) [FAROON] Doctor. [BEYUS] Faroon, you were warned not to listen to him. [DOCTOR] When that voice reaches zero, there'll be nobody left onLakertya to listen to me or anyone else. [FAROON] He's speaking the truth, Beyus. [COMPUTER] One two three. One two two. [BEYUS] What is it you want me to do? [DOCTOR] First see if there's anyone in there. Mel, all hands to thestumps. [MEL] Pumps. [COMPUTER] One one eight. One one seven. [DOCTOR] Ikona, take good care of him. [IKONA] He's someone important? [DOCTOR] They all are. Louis Pasteur. He will rid his world of a majorscourge. He will save the lives of tens of millions. [FAROON] Doctor, come through. [DOCTOR] Whoops. Oh. Take them back to the Tardis. [IKONA] Doctor! [DOCTOR] Thank you, Ikona. [COMPUTER] One two one. One hundred. Ninety nine. --------------------------------------- (Brain chamber) [COMPUTER] Ninety eight. Ninety seven. Ninety six.Ninety five. Ninety four. [COMPUTER] Ninety three, ninety two, ninety one. [COMPUTER] Ninety, eighty nine, eighty eight, eighty seven, eighty six,eighty five, eighty four, eighty three, eighty two, eighty one, eighty,seventy nine. [COMPUTER] Seventy four, seventy three, seventy two. [MEL] Doctor, we haven't a second to spare. [BEYUS] Mel's right, Doctor. I can finish here. You're the only one thatcan tackle the Rani. [DOCTOR] Don't leave it too late, Beyus. [BEYUS] I know what I have to do. [MEL] Doctor, come on. [BEYUS] Go with them, Faroon. [FAROON] But can't I wait with you, Beyus? [BEYUS] You've rarely questioned my actions before. This is the not thetime to begin. [COMPUTER] Fifty nine, fifty eight, fifty seven --------------------------------------- (The Rani's laboratory) [COMPUTER] Fifty six, fifty five, fifty four, fiftythree --------------------------------------- (Brain chamber) [COMPUTER] Twenty, nineteen, eighteen, seventeen,sixteen. [COMPUTER] Fifteen, fourteen, thirteen, twelve, eleven, ten, nine,eight, seven [COMPUTER] Four, four, four, four, four, four, four, four, four, four,four, four. --------------------------------------- (Outside the Rani's Tardis) [DOCTOR] Rani! It's over. You're beaten! I've aborted the launch and theLakertyans are preparing to attack. [RANI] You imbecile. You've signed their death warrants. --------------------------------------- (Brain chamber) [COMPUTER] Four, four, four [COMPUTER] Three, two, one, lift off. --------------------------------------- (Outside the Tardis) [DOCTOR] The delay in lift off means the rocket will miss the asteroid. [MEL] (sotto) Are you certain? [DOCTOR] Absolutely. A miss is as good as a smile. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] This way, ladies, gentlemen, others. I'll get you back to whereyou belong. Hopefully. [DOCTOR] I'll explain how it works later. It's all relative. [DOCTOR] Mel. --------------------------------------- (Outside the Tardis) [DOCTOR] Goodbye, Faroon. When I think of Beyus Ishall remember with admiration the sacrifice he made. [FAROON] He must have been convinced that it was the only way to becertain of saving the rest of us. [IKONA] He'll not be forgotten. [FAROON] Nor will you, Doctor. [MEL] Well, cheerio, Ikona. [IKONA] I wish I were coming with you. [MEL] No one will credit this, least of all you, but so do I. [IKONA] I do have another regret. [DOCTOR] What's that? [IKONA] After all the suffering she's caused, the Rani has escaped tofreedom in her Tardis. --------------------------------------- (The Rani's Tardis) [URAK] Mistress, you have taught us so much. When we return toTetrapiriarbus, your incredible brain will show us how to overcome ourneeds. There will be plasma in abundance. [RANI] No. --------------------------------------- (Outside the Tardis) [DOCTOR] Memory like a dromedary. [DOCTOR] An antidote against those killer insects in the globe. The Ranialways takes out an insurance policy. [MEL] You're impossible. Why did you do that? [IKONA] Tell her, Faroon. [FAROON] Ikona believes that our people should meet their ownchallenges, if they are to survive. [DOCTOR] Well, time and tide melts the snowman. [MEL] Waits for no man. [DOCTOR] Who's waiting? I'm ready. [MEL] You're certainly going to take a bit of getting used to. [DOCTOR] I'll grow on you, Mel. I'll grow on you.

Doctor Who (5 Oct, 1987; Seventh Doctor) - Paradise Towers (Tardis) [MEL] Look, Doctor, look. There's the swimming pool, right at the verytop of the building. Oh, it's wonderful. I can't wait to have a dip inthat. Paradise Towers, here we come. [DOCTOR] That's the problem with young people today, no spirit ofadventure. --------------------------------------- (Potassium Street) [FIRE ESCAPE [OC]] It's no go. Leave her for another day. Cowardlycutlet! [BIN LINER [OC]] Leave her for the cleaners. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] I think that's enough of that, Mel. [MEL] Why? It's great. [DOCTOR] Well, if you want to stay here watching a guide book when youcould actually be enjoying the real thing, that's up to you. [MEL] You mean we're nearly there? [DOCTOR] Paradise Towers any second now. [MEL] Fantastic! [DOCTOR] You may want to lie by the pool doing nothing all day. I intendto explore. Paradise Towers is supposed to be a remarkablearchitectural achievement, I'm told. Won all sorts of awards way backin the er, twenty first century. Are you ready? [MEL] Ready? I can't wait. [DOCTOR] Well, here we are. --------------------------------------- (Outside the Tardis) [MEL] Oh, no. [DOCTOR] Ah! Highly intelligent creatures. Just look at this. [DOCTOR] Extraordinary. Oh, and this. [MEL] It's just rubbish. [DOCTOR] Nothing's just rubbish if you have an enquiring mind. [MEL] No, Doctor. [DOCTOR] Well, you never can tell. [MEL] You don't happen to know another planet with a swimming pool, doyou? [DOCTOR] Why did I have to jettison the pool from the Tardis? [MEL] Well, it was leaking. --------------------------------------- (Fountain of Happiness Square) [DOCTOR] There is a rather spectacular swimming pool on the planetGriophos, I understand. [MEL] Oh, we could try there. [DOCTOR] Just one snag. [MEL] What's that? [DOCTOR] It's for the exclusive use of the Gulmaris. [MEL] Who are they? [DOCTOR] A rather nasty breed of flesh eating octopi. Personally, I'drather stay here and explore. I wonder what happened? [MEL] It's seen better days, that's what's happened. Still, now thatwe're here, I suppose I might as well see what the pool's like. [DOCTOR] That's the spirit, Mel. This could be fascinating. Are youcoming? [MEL] Yes, but one thing, Doctor. If anything goes wrong and we getseparated, we'll meet at the pool, all right? [DOCTOR] Oh, very well. But we've only just arrived. There's no need tostart worrying yet. --------------------------------------- (Potassium Street) [345/12] Caretaker number three four five stroke twelve subsection threereporting. I am proceeding along Potassium Street, corridor five sixseven three, section two oh one, opposite door seven eight two on floorthirty five, north side. Over. [CARETAKER [OC]] This is the Chief Caretaker speaking. We are receivingyou, Caretaker number three four five stroke twelve subsection three.Make your report. [345/12] Considerable evidence of multi-coloured wall-scrawl all alongthis part of street. Wall Scrawlers obviously active here. Over. [CARETAKER [OC]] Report noted. Proceed now to report on corridor fivesix seven three, section three oh one. [345/12] Very good, Chief. [345?12] Caretaker number three four five stroke twelve subsection threereporting.

[MEL] I hope not. [BIN LINER] Bin liner. [DOCTOR] Pardon? [BIN LINER] Bin Liner. Mel. Bin Liner. [DOCTOR] Ah, now we're getting somewhere. I'm the Doctor. [FIRE ESCAPE] Fire Escape. [DOCTOR] How do you do. [DOCTOR] I was only trying to be friendly. [BIN LINER] Friendly? [DOCTOR] Say hello. Hello? Hello? [FIRE ESCAPE] Ah, he wants to how you do. Do we? [DOCTOR] You don't have to do that. What about Mel, then? [DOCTOR] What's the matter? [FIRE ESCAPE] You we like, Doctor. What you wear is high fabsion and icehot, for an old one. [DOCTOR] Oh, thank you very much. But clothes don't maketh the man, youknow. [BIN LINER] No, but Kangs all have colours. Blue, yellow, red. What isMel's colour? [MEL] Oh, I don't have a colour. And I don't want to be a Kang. [FIRE ESCAPE] We don't want you to be a Kang. Not a Red Kang. --------------------------------------- (Corridor 5673) [345/12] Caretaker number three four five stroke twelve subsectiontwelve here. I am proceeding along corridor five six seven threetowards section three oh one on floor thirty four, north side. Chief? [CARETAKER [OC]] What is it now? [345/12] Do I have to? [CARETAKER [OC]] Orders are orders. Number one rule of the Caretakers,Caretaker number three four five stroke twelve subsection three. [345/12 [OC]] Chief, listen. Something's going wrong. I know it's goingwrong. After (unintelligible), can't I just [CARETAKER [OC]] No, Caretaker number three four five stroke twelvesubsection three, you can't. [345/12 [OC]] But, Chief.

Reason not known. --------------------------------------- (Fountain of Happiness Square) [RED KANGS] Red Kangs, Red Kangs, Red Kangs are best. Red Kangs, RedKangs, Red Kangs are best. Red Kangs, Red Kangs, Red Kangs are best. [DOCTOR] Red Kangs are best. Yes, well, now, that we've been introduced,I think that some explanations are in order. We're visitors to ParadiseTowers, only just arrived, so you can't really expect Mel to understandwhat you're talking about. [BIN LINER] No visitors. [DOCTOR] Pardon? [BIN LINER] No visitors, no ball games, no fly posts, no visitors. [DOCTOR] You mean visitors aren't allowed? [BIN LINER] No visitors ever. [FIRE ESCAPE] Not since time start. [DOCTOR] There's always a first time. I mean, not everyone you're goingto meet's going to be a Kang. [FIRE ESCAPE] No, there are Old Ones, and the Caretakers and the [BIN LINER] Raita! [DOCTOR] And? [BIN LINER] That is all. [DOCTOR] I see. And who are these, er, Caretakers? [BIN LINER] They wipe away our wallscrawl, chase us down Carrydoors,catch us if they can. [DOCTOR] I see. And all the young ones are Kangs. [FIRE ESCAPE] Yes. [DOCTOR] Or girls, I should say. There don't seem to be any boys. [FIRE ESCAPE] Boys? Boys? What are boys? There are Old Ones, and theCaretakers and Kangs and the (Bin Liner gives her a Look). That is all. [DOCTOR] I see. Well, I must say it's been nice meeting you, but I thinkit's time we ought to be on our way> Don't you think so, Mel? [MEL] Yes, Doctor. Not a moment to lose. [BIN LINER] We heard you talk of the pool. [FIRE ESCAPE] The Great Pool in the Sky. [DOCTOR] Did you? Oh, I expect your ears were playing tricks on you. [BIN LINER] You're coming with us to our hide-in. [DOCTOR] I wonder if Blue Kangs behave like this. --------------------------------------- (Floor 34 North) [345/12] As instructed, I'm proceeding alongcorridor [345/12] Chief? Chief? Are you receiving me? Chief! [345/12] No. No, it can't be. The Chief told us. [CARETAKER [OC]] Yes, Caretaker number three four five stroke twelvesubsection three. [345/12] Oh, thank goodness you're there, Chief. [CARETAKER [OC]] Now don't panic, Caretaker number three four fivestroke twelve subsection three. [345/12] Chief, it's, it's [345/12] Argh! [CARETAKER [OC]] Yes, I know. --------------------------------------- (Fountain of Happiness Square) [DOCTOR] The art of knot tying hasn't died outhere, anyway. [MEL] I thought they liked you. [DOCTOR] They liked my clothes, which is clearly not enough. [BIN LINER] Are they tied and true? [RED KANG] Yes. [BIN LINER] Ready, Fire Escape. [FIRE ESCAPE] Red Kang I-spy says we can't go through usual carrydoor,Blue Kangs out and lurking. [BIN LINER] And the Yellow? [FIRE ESCAPE] No Yellows. All unalive now. [BIN LINER] All? [FIRE ESCAPE] All. [DOCTOR] Excuse me. [FIRE ESCAPE] What? [DOCTOR] Did you say a whole tribe of Yellow Kangs have been wiped out,I mean, made unalive, just like that? But why? You didn't kill them,did you? [FIRE ESCAPE] To make unalive is not part of the Kang way. No ballgames, no fly posts, no wipe-outs. [DOCTOR] Who did it, then? The Caretakers? The Blue Kangs? I mean, who? [FIRE ESCAPE] It takes place. [BIN LINER] Come on. We've been in the open spaces too long. We must go.Ware Blue Kangs. Build high for happiness. [RED KANGS] Build high for happiness. --------------------------------------- (Caretaker Headquarters) [CARETAKER [OC]] A nice little snack coming up for you, my beauty, soyou'll grow up big and strong. That's Daddy's little pet. [DEPUTY [OC]] I've located a whole group of them, Chief. Large as life,twice as nasty. [CARETAKER [OC]] Excellent. Attention all Caretakers. Abandon furtherwork on master plan QYT, and as set out in regulation book One FourFive proceed instead into Standard Emergency Plan nine oh eight B. [DEPUTY [OC]] Emergency plan nine oh eight B. Certainly. [CARETAKER [OC]] That is correct. Seize all Red Wall-Scrawlers inFountain of Happiness square. Now! --------------------------------------- (Staircase) [DOCTOR] Sorry about the pool, Mel. [MEL] That's all right, Doctor. [DEPUTY] All right, you Wall Scrawlers. Let's be having you. --------------------------------------- (Fountain of Happiness Square) [DEPUTY] Who are you? [DOCTOR] That doesn't matter. Are you the Caretakers? [DEPUTY] Yes. [DOCTOR] And you take care. Of people, that is. [DEPUTY] Maybe. [DOCTOR] You seem to be our best bet so far, don't you think so, Mel?Mel? Where's Mel? [DEPUTY] No, no, no, sunbeam. You're coming with us. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [MEL] Doctor? Doctor? Doctor? Oh, damn it. What now? [TILDA] Cooee. Cooooeeee. Would you care for a cup of tea? [MEL] Hello. [TILDA] I said, would you like a cup of tea and some cakes? [MEL] Yes, thank you. --------------------------------------- (Tilda and Tabby's home) [TABBY] Is she coming, Tilda? [TILDA] Yes. [TABBY] How does she look? [TILDA] Very nice. [TABBY] Ooo. Is she fat? [TILDA] Shush, shush. Oh, she's nearly here, dear. Oh, my goodness,Tabby. Look at that table. Quick. --------------------------------------- (Outside Tilda and Tabby's home) [MEL] Hello. [TILDA] My friend Tabby is just tidying up. We're both very house proud,you see. Particularly when we have guests. Yes, I think it's all rightto go in now. --------------------------------------- (Tilda and Tabby's home) [TILDA] Come in, dear. I'm Tilda, by the way.What's you name? [MEL] Mel. [TILDA] Oh! Mel. Mel. What a delicious name. Tabby, this is Mel. [MEL] Hello. [TABBY] Hello, dear. Come in and make yourself comfortable. [MEL] Thank you. [TABBY] Ohm look at your poor hands. We can't allow that, can we, Tilda? [TILDA] Of course not. Sit down, dear. Let Tabby untie you. I'll put thekettle on. [TABBY] Sit down, dear. Oh, you must have been having a horrid time. Youpoor girl. Who did this to you? [MEL] The Kangs. The Red Kangs. [TABBY] Oh, those Kangs, they're naughty girls. You're not a Kang areyou? [MEL] Oh, no. [TILDA] No, we didn't think you were somehow. They're nasty, untrustinggirls, who would never take a cup of tea from two harmless old folkslike us, would they, Tabby. [TABBY] Oh no, dear, no. There you are. [MEL] Oh, thank you. [TABBY] Oh, Mel's not at all like a Kang. She's a nice, polite, clean,well spoken girl. Just the sort we like. [MEL] Excuse me. [TABBY] There you are, Tilda, what did I say. Lovely manners, sayingexcuse me before asking a question. What was it, dear? [MEL] I was just going to ask who you were. I mean, like the Kangs arethe Kangs, and the Caretakers are [TILDA] Oh, silly, us. We're the Rezzies. (Tilda puts a tray on thecoffee table.) [MEL] The Rezzies? [TABBY] Yes, well, we're some of the Rezzies, anyway. We have a fewlike-minded friends here and there in the Towers. [MEL] Have you always lived here? [TILDA] Oh, we've been here for ever such a long time, if that's whatyou mean. How about you? [MEL] Oh, I'm just visiting. [TABBY] A visitor. Well, well. Must be a long time since the Towers sawany of those, eh, Tilda? [TILDA] Takes you back, doesn't it. [MEL] Does it? What was it like before? [TILDA] Oh, never mind about that, dear. Have some tea and cakes. [TABBY] Oh, yes. [MEL] Thanks, I'm really hungry. [TABBY] Yes. You're a thin little thing, aren't you? Oh, but never mind,dear. Tilda and I will feed you up. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [DOCTOR] Well? [DEPUTY] You're allowed to stop one and a half minutes for every threethousand steps walked. [DOCTOR] And that means? [DEPUTY] You can stand still for a while. [DOCTOR] Oh, very generous of you. It must be a job trying to keep thesecorridors clean and tidy like this. [DEPUTY] Oh yes, especially the wallscrawl. [DOCTOR] Oh, that's what you call them. Wallscrawlers. [DEPUTY] Yes. Dirty pests. Well, look at it. [DOCTOR] By my two tickers, what's that? [DEPUTY] What's what? [DOCTOR] It looks like a Kang, and something attacking her. Some sort ofclaw. Oh here, there's a drill and down here there's a nozzle suckingthings up. [DEPUTY] Yes, well, the Wallscrawlers make up a lot of silly pictures. [DOCTOR] Let's hope they're just silly pictures. What's that? [DEPUTY] I don't hear anything. Look, sunbeam, if there was anythingwrong, there'd be instructions in here about how to deal with it,wouldn't there? Hmm? [DOCTOR] Oh, I see. It's some sort of robotic cleaner with automotivebicurval scraping blades. Impressive workmanship. [DEPUTY] You don't understand. [DOCTOR] No, I don't, but I intend to. Now, let's have a look at thisautomotive blades, shall we? Ah, yes. [DOCTOR] Do you usually do what I usually do in these circumstances? [DEPUTY] What's that? [DOCTOR] Run! --------------------------------------- (Tilda and Tabby's home) [TILDA] Of course, in the old days things were very different, weren'tthey, Tabby. [TABBY] Oh, very different, Tilda. [MEL] So what happened? [TABBY] Well, my memory's not what it was, but one thing followedanother and before we knew where we were, we were in the pickle we aretoday. [TILDA] Now everybody has to fend for themselves, take what they canfind. Have another cake, Mel dear. Go on. [MEL] All right, then. So you were here from the beginning then? [TABBY] Oh yes, dear, yes. Ever since the Great architect finishedParadise Towers and all the youngsters and all the oldsters were movedhere. [MEL] And the rest, the in-betweens? [TABBY] Oh, well, I don't quite recall, but I think they had some elseto do. A war to fight or something. All such a long time ago. I oftenwonder whether we won that war or not. [TILDA] I don't suppose we'll ever know now, Tabby. [TABBY] No, I don't suppose we will, Tilda. [MEL] Do you know anything about a swimming pool? [TILDA] A swimming pool? No, I don't think so. I've never heard of one.Have you, Tabby? [TABBY] No, I haven't, Tilda. No. Oh, you'd be far better off to stayhere with us. Wouldn't she, Tilda? [TILDA] Oh yes, Tabby. She can eat and eat till her heart's content andget nice and plump and healthy, safe from those nasty Kangs. [MEL] It is very kind of you both, but I'm afraid I will have to go onceI've finished my tea. It's very important. [TILDA] Oh, nonsense. There's no rush, dear. Finish your cake. [TABBY] No, we'll be very offended if you rush off so quickly. Won't we,Tilda? [MEL] Well, just a few more minutes, maybe. [TILDA] That's it, dear. There's plenty of time. [TABBY] All the time in the world. Make the most of the peace and quiet.(There is a loud knock at the door which makes them all jump. A youngman batters his way in and produces a hand gun.) [PEX] Are these old ladies annoying you? [MEL] No! [PEX] Are you annoying these old ladies? [TILDA + TABBY] No, she isn't. [PEX] Oh. [TILDA] And I do wish you would stop breaking through our door to tryand save us. [TABBY] That's the third time we've had it repaired, and it's not thoughif we've ever been in any trouble. [TILDA] Apart from bits of door flying about all over the place. [MEL] Look, who exactly are you? [PEX] The name is Pex. I put the world of Paradise Towers to rights. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [DEPUTY] Quick! Get in the lift! [DOCTOR] But I thought you said the lifts here don't work? --------------------------------------- (Lift) [DEPUTY] No, they don't. [DOCTOR] Here, let me. [DOCTOR] Going up? --------------------------------------- (Tilda and Tabby's home) [MEL] No, I really do have to go but you have been ever so kind. [TILDA] Oh, it does seem a pity when we were so comfortable. [TABBY] You mustn't be put off by him. [MEL] Oh, I wasn't. Don't you worry. But I really must find my friendand the pool. [TILDA] You will come and see us again, won't you, dear? [TABBY] Maybe bring your friend. [MEL] Of course. Thank you for everything. [TILDA] Till next time, dear. [TABBY] Well, we'll be looking out for you, dear. [MEL] Yes, bye. [TABBY] Would you mind going now too, please? --------------------------------------- (Outside Tilda and Tabby's home) [PEX] Just a minute. [MEL] What is it now? [PEX] You're going on a dangerous journey. [MEL] So? [PEX] You need me to protect you. [MEL] I most certainly do not. [PEX] But that's my job. I am Pex. I put the world of Paradise Towers torights. [MEL] Yes, I know all that, but I still don't need you. [PEX] Well if you don't need a protector, then you might need a guide.Somebody who knows their way about. [MEL] All right. I may live to regret this. --------------------------------------- (Caretaker Headquarters) [CARETAKER] I don't believe it. It's not possible. It can't be. It couldbe. --------------------------------------- (Communal area) [LEADER] Hail the Kang. Hail the unalive Kang. Yellow of colour, butbrave and bold as a Kang should be. [BLUE KANGS] Hail the Kang. Hail the unalive Kang. Yellow of colour, butbrave and bold as a Kang should be. [MEL] Pex, what's going on? Pex, what's happening in Paradise Towers? [BLUE KANGS] Brave and bold as a Kang should be. Brave and bold as aKang should be. --------------------------------------- (Caretaker Headquarters) [DEPUTY] Chief! [CARETAKER] Later, Deputy. Release him. Greetings. [DOCTOR] Greetings. [CARETAKER] I am the Chief Caretaker. [DOCTOR] And I am [CARETAKER] No need to tell me. I know who you are. We have been waitingfor this momentous visit for so many years. You are the man who broughtParadise Towers to life. The visionary who dreamed up its pools andlifts and squares. And now you have returned to your creation. You willmake all those dilapidated lifts and rise and fall as they've neverdone before. All signs of wallscrawl will disappear from the corridorsof Paradise Towers. The floors will gleam and the windows will shine,and will be made as new. Fellow Caretakers, do you know who this is?This is the Great Architect returned to Paradise Towers. Bid himwelcome. All Hail the Great Architect, all hail. [CARETAKERS] All hail the Great Architect. [DEPUTY] What shall we do with him now then, Chief? [CARETAKER] Kill him. --------------------------------------- (Caretaker Headquarters) [DOCTOR] Wait a minute! Listen. [CARETAKER] Why? [DOCTOR] Well, I'm not the Great Architect. I'm the Doctor. [CARETAKER] Oh, the Doctor now, is it? He always was an artful one, theGreat Architect. Make the preparations will you, Deputy? [DEPUTY] Very good, Chief. [DOCTOR] You can't condemn me without trial, without evidence, withoutproof. I mean, I don't even know who this Great Architect is. [CARETAKER] The three two seven appendix three subsection nine death, Ithink. [DEPUTY] Three two. Very good, Chief. [CARETAKER] Oh, that would happen just now. Yes? Oh dear, oh dear. PoorCaretaker number three four five stroke twelve subsection three. What,now? Yes, all right, all right, there's no need to quote the rule bookat me, Caretaker number five seven nine stroke fourteen subsectioneight. I'll come. [DOCTOR] Anything the matter? [CARETAKER] Nothing that isn't under control, thank you, GreatArchitect. An unfortunate accident has happened to Caretaker numberthree four five. I am required by the rulebook to go and investigate.The three two seven appendix three subsection nine death will bepostponed till I return. In the meantime, you will guard the GreatArchitect here with your lives. Understand? [DEPUTY] Yes, Chief, no problem. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [PEX] Mel? [MEL] What is it now? [PEX] Mel, watch this. Oh, go on. Please? [MEL] I'm in a hurry. You know that. And that ceremony in the squaregave me the creeps. [PEX] It won't take a moment. [MEL] Well? [PEX] I'm a finely tuned fighting machine. I work out everyday. [MEL] Pex. [PEX] Practice martial arts. [MEL] Pex! [PEX] Run the length of seventy [MEL] Pex, if you could bend that back into shape and put it where itcame from, it might be more use. But you can't, can you. [PEX] Well, that's not my job. I'm Pex. [MEL] I know, and you're here to put the world of Paradise Towers torights. [PEX] Yeah. [MEL] Well, go on. I've got to find my friend and I can't waste anymoretime. [PEX] Mel! --------------------------------------- (Fountain of Happiness Square) [FIRE ESCAPE] Build high for happiness. [RED KANGS] Build high for happiness. [FIRE ESCAPE] All sound and safe? [BIN LINER] The un-young Doctor and the girl who isn't a Kang are lostfor now. [FIRE ESCAPE] And No Exit? [BIN LINER] No Exit's not here. [FIRE ESCAPE] Where is she? [BIN LINER] Was on Talkyphone three before Caretakers attacked. [FIRE ESCAPE] Not now? Mayhaps No Exit's returned to Red KangHeadquarters. [BIN LINER] Mayhaps or [FIRE ESCAPE] Or? [BIN LINER] No Exit's unalive. [FIRE ESCAPE] Taken to the cleaners? [BIN LINER] Yes, taken to the cleaners. --------------------------------------- (Caretaker Headquarters) [DOCTOR] Shall I tell you what puzzles me most?Those cleaners we had so much trouble with. Well, presumably they'repart of the organisation of Paradise Towers like your Caretakers. Sowhy should they attack you? [DOCTOR] And another thing. I don't know why you're so keen to kill offthe Great Architect. I thought you'd be delighted to have him here toput things to rights. It doesn't make sense. Does it? (silence) I'dhate to have to live my life by some boring old rulebook like you do.You must get fed up. Well, do you? [DEPUTY] No. [DOCTOR] Never? [DEPUTY] Never. [DOCTOR] I suppose how you guard me is in that rulebook. [DEPUTY] Yes. Rule forty five B stroke two subsection five. [DOCTOR] I wouldn't mind having a look at that rulebook, if that's notagainst the rules. I mean, after all, I am a condemned man. [DEPUTY] Hmm. [DEPUTY] Yes, we can count that as your last request. You're entitled toone if you're to undergo a three two seven appendix three subsectionnine death. Not a pretty way to go. [DOCTOR] How extraordinary. No, no. It can't be true. [DEPUTY] What's that? [DOCTOR] Oh no, no. It's. You couldn't possibly. [DEPUTY] If it's there, it's true. Rules are rules. Orders are orders. [DOCTOR] If you say so. I don't want to make a fool of you. [DEPUTY] Read out what it says. [DOCTOR] Oh, very well, but I find it hard to credit [DEPUTY] Read it! [DOCTOR] It says here about a three two seven appendix three subsectionnine death, that after you've been guarding the condemned prisoner for(checks his wristwatch) thirty five minutes, you must all stand up. [DEPUTY] But if we [DOCTOR] Yes, I know, I know, I find it extraordinary. I don't reallyexpect you to do it. But it is in there. [DOCTOR] The Caretakers present must then move five paces away from theprisoner. [DOCTOR] Five. Close their eyes and put their hands above their head. [DEPUTY] How long do we do this for? [DOCTOR] For about a minute and a half. You see, that's how long theprisoner needs. [DEPUTY] To do what? [DOCTOR] Find the key card to the door and escape. [DEPUTY] Sorry? [DOCTOR] Find the key card to the door and escape. [DEPUTY] Rules should always make sense. Why should we allow a prisoner --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [MEL] Doctor? Doctor? [DOCTOR] Mel? Mel? [DOCTOR] Mel? --------------------------------------- (Fountain of Happiness Square) [MEL] Oh no. We're back at the Square again. [PEX] I've been trying to confuse anyone who might be following us. It'spart of the training. [MEL] Does your training include confusing yourself at the same time. [PEX] I'm not confused. [MEL] So you know where to go next to get us up to the pool then? [PEX] Of course. [MEL] Well then? [PEX] We go that way. [MEL] You sure? [PEX] Of course I'm sure. [MEL] Pex, can I ask you something? [PEX] What? [MEL] Why are you here? [PEX] What do you mean? [MEL] Well, there's no one else like you here, is there? [PEX] You can say that again. Shall I show you how [MEL] No! I think you've wrecked quite enough for one day. Tabby andTilda talked about a war. They said that only the Oldsters and theYoungsters were brought to the Paradise Towers and the rest, theIn-betweens, were sent off to fight and never came back. So how does ithappen that you're here? [PEX] Isn't it obvious? [MEL] No, it isn't obvious at all. Pex, you say you want to help me getup to the pool and find my friend the Doctor, so I have to know. [PEX] I was sent here. The power to protect has been invested in me. [MEL] Who by? [PEX] By those who I am not allowed to name. [MEL] And that's the truth? Really, the truth? Then I have to believeyou. It can't be safe hanging round this Square any longer. [PEX] You're in no danger with me around. [MEL] Are you sure? [PEX] Of course I'm sure. Come on. We go this way. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [DOCTOR] Mel? Mel? [CARETAKER] Now the main thing, fellow Caretakers, is not to panic. Justbecause it appears that something unfortunate may have happened toCaretaker number three four five stroke twelve subsection three, wemust not go leaping to conclusions. Careless chat about the RoboticSelf-activating Megapodic mark seven Z Cleaners having got out ofcontrol is not going to help anyone, and may needlessly upset otherCaretakers. Many explanations are possible for this unlucky accident.In the mean time, all Caretakers will patrol their assigned streets asbefore. I'm sure you will be quite safe. [CARETAKER] Who did that? Oh. Yes? [DEPUTY [OC]] Chief? [CARETAKER] Yes, Deputy? [DEPUTY [OC]] The Great Architect has escaped. [CARETAKER] He's what! --------------------------------------- (Tilda and Tabby's home) [TABBY] Oh, that was delicious, dear. [TILDA] Thank you, dear. [TABBY] A little on the small side, of course. [TILDA] Well, I'm sure we could both have done with a little more.Nowadays you have to take what you can find. Perhaps something betterwill turn up before too long. [TABBY] Well, we can only hope so. [TABBY] Do you suppose it's that delicious little Mel. [TILDA] She did say that she'd come back. Come in. [MADDY] It's only me. [TILDA] Oh, Maddy, dear, how nice to see you. [MADDY] I'm not intruding? [TABBY] No, no. We're just finishing. [MADDY] You're sure? [TILDA] Of course. Have some tea. [MADDY] Oh, thank you very much. I just had to come over and tell you. [TABBY] Tell us what, Maddy? [MADDY] Another Caretaker's disappeared. [TABBY] Was it the Kangs? [MADDY] Well, they're trying to make out that it might be, but from whatI've heard there's more to it than anybody's letting on. I mean, peoplejust don't vanish, do they? [TABBY] No, no, of course not. There's always something left behind. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [DOCTOR] Nothing ventured. [DOCTOR] Nothing gained. (He hits it and a lot of coins fall from theslot. Quickly, he uses his hat to try and collect them.) [DOCTOR] Jackpot! Issued by the Great Architect, Kroagnon. Kroagnon? [DOCTOR] Oh no, not you again. I've got too many things to work out. Youreally aren't helping. What do you want anyway? Is it my death? [DOCTOR] Think calmly. --------------------------------------- (By a lift) [MEL] Oh. [PEX] Wait there. I'll check if it's safe. [MEL] Well? [PEX] It's safe. [Mel] Good. --------------------------------------- (Red Kang Headquarters) [DOCTOR] Oh, what's happening. I don't understand. [BIN LINER] Build high for happiness, Doctor. [DOCTOR] Oh! Build high for happiness. What happened? [FIRE ESCAPE] You dropped down, Doctor. Whoosh! Into our Brainquarters.Where is the girl who is not a Kang? [DOCTOR] I only wish I knew. Fire Escape, Bin Liner, I never expected tosee you again. Still less, I didn't expect to be glad to see you again.But I've got to go. There's much to be done. [BIN LINER] No way! [FIRE ESCAPE] No ball games, no fly-posts. No out-going. [BIN LINER] Why you here, Doctor? [DOCTOR] It was an accident. I was being chased by two cleaners and thensuddenly [FIRE ESCAPE] Cleaners? [DOCTOR] Yes. I expect they've gone by now. [FIRE ESCAPE] Check for safe and sure on the Talkyphone. [DOCTOR] Do I get the impression I'm not believed? [FIRE ESCAPE] Cleaners make Kangs unalive. [DOCTOR] Oh, do they, now? Why don't you tell me about it? [DOCTOR] What is the matter with everyone in the Towers? I simply don'tunderstand. I mean, the Cleaners go round killing people and cartingthem off and no one does anything to stop them. All you Kangs can do isdrawwallscrawls on the subject all over the place. [FIRE ESCAPE] But the Cleaners have to [DOCTOR] I know, I've seen them. And the Caretakers, they're no better.They allow themselves to get killed off without saying anything either.Just because there's nothing about it in their precious rulebook. [FIRE ESCAPE] You mean to say [DOCTOR] I know because I've read it. [FIRE ESCAPE] There's a wipe-out of Caretakers as well? [DOCTOR] Oh, don't tell me you don't know. I mean, what is going on? Imean, what is behind that door belching out smoke that you Kangs are sokeen on painting pictures of, eh? Any ideas? Or is that simply justanother mystery? [BIN LINER] Cleaners were in the carrydoor with sprinkle gas. There nomore. [DOCTOR] Thank goodness for that. Can I have a look? [DOCTOR] You know, you really are very stupid for such clever people. IfI were you I'd find that door and discover what's behind it. Becauseuntil you do, we're all at risk, You, Me, Mel, everybody. Are theseantiques dotted around all over the building? It really is a splendidpiece of auditoryarchitectatonicalmetrasyncocity. [FIRE ESCAPE] It works! [DOCTOR] I'm sure. [DOCTOR] Hello? Sorry. Wrong number. Just one other thing. You probablyhaven't realised that this machine has another purpose. [DOCTOR] Oh incidentally, yet another Paradise Towers mystery. Issued bythe Great Architect, Kroagnon. Kroagnon? I do wish I could place him. Imean, what's happened to him since he's finished this building. No oneseems to know. Sorry. [DOCTOR] Oh, very refreshing. [FIRE ESCAPE] Ice hot, Doctor. [FIRE ESCAPE + BIN LINER] Ice hot! --------------------------------------- (Basement) [CARETAKER] Hello, my pet. How are you? Did you enjoy your niceCaretaker? [VOICE] Hungry! [CARETAKER] Hungry? You can't be. Daddy's always made sure you get agood supply of what you need. Daddy's the Chief Caretaker. That's hismain job. [VOICE] Hungry! [CARETAKER] And why we're on the subject, Daddy's not too pleased withyou. Now I didn't send you this little snack, did I? So how come it'sgot here? I mean the Cleaners wouldn't do things like that withoutorders from someone and it wasn't me, so who was it? Now tell Daddy. Ifyou don't tell Daddy who's been feeding you behind his back, I won'tgive you the Great Architect to eat. [VOICE] Hungry! [CARETAKER] All right, all right, all right. You'll get him just as soonas I can catch him again. [VOICE] Hungry! [CARETAKER] But my pet, my darling, I don't understand. You're notusually like this. What's the matter? Tell Daddy. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [PEX] Fight. [BLUE KANG] Enough, muscle brain. Get back. [MEL] Will you please tell us why you're holding us here. [BLUE KANG] We saw you with the Red Kangs. [MEL] Oh, but they were holding me captive, too. Look, my name's Mel.I'm a visitor here. [BLUE KANG] You know him? [PEX] I'm protecting her. [MEL] Do you know anything about this person? [BLUE KANG] All Kangs know the muscle brain. He's a scaredy-cat. Whenthe In-Betweens sent us all here in the ship, us and the Oldsters, themuscle brain hid away and came with us because he didn't want to fightin the war along with the other In-Betweens. [PEX] Who told you that? [BLUE KANG] Everyone knows that. The Oldsters call out after him in theCarrydoors. The muscle brain's a Scaredy-cat. [BLUE KANGS] Scaredy-cat, scaredy-cat, scaredy-cat! [MEL] Pex? [PEX] What? [MEL] Is this true? Is this true? [PEX] I've made up for it since I was here. Since I've been in ParadiseTowers, I've been brave! A hero! A fighting [MEL] Sent by powers that you weren't allowed to name? I should haveguessed. Will you allow me to go if I go alone? I give you my word Imean you no harm. You can see I've got no weapons, look. Thanks.Goodbye, Pex. [BLUE KANGS] Scaredy-cat, scaredy-cat, scaredy-cat, scaredy-cat,scaredy-cat. --------------------------------------- (Caretaker Headquarters) [CARETAKER] So, you still haven't discovered wherethe Great Architect has got to. [DEPUTY] No, Chief. [CARETAKER] And you have no idea of his whereabouts at all. [DEPUTY] No, Chief. Unless [CARETAKER] Unless? [DEPUTY] Unless he was taken by the cleaners? [CARETAKER] Don't be absurd. Besides, you are overlooking one veryobvious possibility. [DEPUTY] What's that, Chief? [CARETAKER] The Wallscrawlers. They've been getting very bold of late,making fun of authority. Summon all available Caretakers. We are goingto start a forty five D section three Security Search. [DEPUTY] Yes, Chief. [CARETAKER] The three two seven appendix three subsection nine death ofthe Great Architect must take place. Besides, even if the Wallscrawlershaven't got him, it's high time they were taught a severe lesson. --------------------------------------- (Outside Tilda and Tabby's home) [TILDA] Cooee! Care for a cup of tea? It's lovely to see you. We'dalmost given up hope. How have you been getting on? [MEL] Oh, not very well. I've been going round and round in circles. [TILDA] Oh, what a shame. Come inside and rest your weary bones. [MEL] Oh I don't know, I. Yes. Yes, thank you, I will. I am very tired. --------------------------------------- (Tilda and Tabby's home) [TILDA] Tabby, guess what? A real piece of goodfortune. You'll never guess who's arrived for tea. [TILDA + TABBY] Mel. --------------------------------------- (Red Kang Headquarters) [BIN LINER] Build high for happiness, Doctor. [DOCTOR] Build high for happiness. But let us not forget what we have todo. We must find Mel and discover the mystery of Paradise Towers,because I've learned enough to realise that its very existence is atstake. [FIRE ESCAPE] Ice hot, Doctor. Ice hot. [BIN LINER] Caretakers! I can see them through the I-spy. [FIRE ESCAPE] Ware, Doctor! He brings them here because like Caretakershe wants all Wallscrawlers unalive! [DOCTOR] Not at all. You don't understand. I mean, the last people Iwant to meet are the Caretakers. I'm in as much danger as you. More,probably. You got to believe me. Listen, we've got to work together.The Chief Caretaker's off his head. If we don't stop the wipe-outs, whowill? Please? --------------------------------------- (Tilda and Tabby's home) [TABBY] Are you feeling better now, dear? [MEL] Mmm. Yes, thank you. There's nothing quite like tea and crumpets,is there? I feel so much more relaxed. [TABBY] Oh, that's good to hear, isn't it, Tilda? [TILDA] Yes, very good. [MEL] All the same, I really must be going now. [TILDA] Oh, we couldn't possibly let you do that. [TABBY] Oh no, not this time. [TILDA] We can't possibly miss this opportunity, can we, Tabby? [TABBY] No, we can't Tilda. Not since those horrid little Kangs gotsuspicious of our little ways. [TILDA] I am sorry, dear. [MEL] What do you mean? [TILDA] Well, you see, we would like you to stay for a very long time. [TABBY] In fact, we don't imagine you ever leaving at all. [MEL] You are joking, aren't you? Tilda? Tabby? [TABBY] We don't see this as a matter for humour, Mel dear. We meanevery word. [TILDA] In our experience, Mel dear, it is much better not to struggletoo much. It only causes needless distress. --------------------------------------- (Red Kang Headquarters) [DOCTOR] You must have a secret escape route. I mean, it's not likeKangs to allow themselves to be caught like rats in a trap. [BIN LINER] Red Kangs have an unseen outway, but [DOCTOR] But what? [FIRE ESCAPE] The Caretakers will be in our Brainquarters too soon forthe Kangs to use it. [DOCTOR] I see, you need time. Well, I will buy you that time. I'm thereason why the Caretakers are here. Now, go on, make your escape. Goon. Shoo! Build high for happiness. --------------------------------------- (Tilda and Tabby's home) [MEL] Look, a joke's a joke, but this gone on long enough. [TILDA] Mel dear, I do think by now you should be appreciating thatthough Tabby and myself are not averse to a humourous remark now andthen, no joke was intended. [TILDA] See if you can spot the basil. [TABBY] Oh, it's here somewhere, dear. Here we are. [TABBY] Oh, what is it, dear? [MEL] There's something wrong with the waste disposal unit. [TABBY] No, don't talk nonsense, dear. It always makes that funny noise. [MEL] I think something's coming up in it. [TABBY] Don't be silly, dear. [TILDA] We'd better make sure, Tabby. [TABBY] Oh, very well, dear. [TABBY] No, I can't see anything. [TILDA] Tabby! Tabby! [TILDA] Tabby! Oh, what a naughty little girl we are. Looks as thoughbutter wouldn't melt in her mouth and now she's killed poor dear Tabby! [MEL] It wasn't me, Tilda. It was the thing in the waste disposal. [TILDA] Fibbing now, is it? I hate little fibbers. [PEX] My name is Pex [MEL] Help, Pex, help! [PEX] No! Now, look [MEL] Don't just stand there, help me! Help! [MEL] You arrived just in time. [PEX] Mel? [MEL] Yeah. [PEX] Mel, does mean this I've really helped save someone from somethingfor the first time? [MEL] I think it might. --------------------------------------- (Basement) [VOICE] Hungry. Hungry. Hungry. Hungry. --------------------------------------- (Outside Red Kang Headquarters) [DEPUTY] I think you'll find that the rulebook states that I remove thelast section of the door. [DOCTOR] Greetings, Deputy Chief Caretaker. You look surprised to seeme. I can't imagine why. After all, it was me you came for. [DEPUTY] Seize him! [DEPUTY] You're not alone down there, are you. [DOCTOR] As a matter of fact, I am. [DEPUTY] You don't fool me, Great Architect. There are Kangs down there. [DOCTOR] Take a look for yourself if you don't believe me. --------------------------------------- (Red Kang Headquarters) [DOCTOR] Well? [DEPUTY] I don't know what you're so pleased about. There's a three twoseven appendix three subsection nine death waiting for you. --------------------------------------- (Tilda and Tabby's home) [PEX] What is it? [MEL] It's a map of the Paradise Towers. It occurred to me that wheneveryone was brought here, they'd have been given a map to help themget around. [PEX] Well, I wasn't. Oh, but then nobody knew I was in the ship, didthey. [MEL] This building is huge, isn't it? Three hundred and four floors.And we must be on floor, let's see. [MEL] One hundred and nine. [PEX] Mel? [MEL] Yeah? [PEX] Are you want to get to the Pool in the Sky? [MEL] Of course. That's where I'm meeting the Doctor. [PEX] You mustn't go. [MEL] That's silly, and anyway here is it. Floor three hundred and four. [PEX] But Mel. [MEL] What now? [PEX] Only the unalive go there. [MEL] Who says so? [PEX] Everybody. Bin Liner and Fire Escape. [MEL] Now that's odd. [PEX] What? [MEL] Look, down here where it says Basement, and underneath, no planavailable. Entry forbidden to all residents of Paradise Towers on painof death. You don't have to come. [PEX] But I do. It's my job to protect you. [MEL] So you're coming with me, come what may? --------------------------------------- (Caretaker Headquarters) [CARETAKER] Welcome back, Great Architect. I'm relieved that it's youand not my Deputy who will be enjoying a three two seven appendix threesubsection nine death. For a start, his demise would have involved anenormous amount of extra paper work. [DEPUTY] Chief? [CARETAKER] Yes. [DEPUTY] Chief, as I was coming in I heard reports that Caretaker numberninety seven stroke two subsection nine had disappeared without anyknown explanation, and that Caretaker three four eight [CARETAKER] I'm well aware of that. [DEPUTY] But Chief, if this goes on and the Cleaners are out of control,how many of us are going to be left? [CARETAKER] Deputy Chief Caretaker, by talking out of turn in such away, you have just broken so many rules and regulations that it wouldtake me several hours just to innumerate them. Wait outside, would you? [DEPUTY] Yes, Chief. [CARETAKER] I think it'd be a very good idea if before your death, youand I had a nice little Regulation thirteen appendix two finalconversation. --------------------------------------- (Fountain of Happiness Square) [PEX] Kang wallscrawl. [MEL] I know. [PEX] Quiet! [MEL] What is it now? [PEX] I thought I saw a Blue Kang. [MEL] Relax! Come on. --------------------------------------- (Caretaker Headquarters) [CARETAKER] Are you the Great Architect? [DOCTOR] You mean you're not certain anymore? [CARETAKER] Oh, I shall have you killed anyway, but it would beinteresting to know. [DOCTOR] What makes you think I'm the Great Architect? Haven't you evermet him? [CARETAKER] Just when Paradise Towers was being completed, before any ofus got here, he disappeared under mysterious circumstances. Never beenseen since anywhere. [DOCTOR] How odd. [CARETAKER] Odd indeed for a being whose head was apparently full ofextravagant future plans. But I always knew in my bones he'd turn upagain one day. Start altering things just when I'd got them the way Iwanted. [DOCTOR] And that would justify killing me, I mean him? [CARETAKER] Oh, yes. [DOCTOR] Like everyone else you seem terrified to face up to the realityof what's happening in Paradise Towers. I mean, killing me won't helpyou find out who's sending out those robotic Cleaners to kill people.And that's a problem that isn't going to go away, unless, of course,you're giving the orders yourself. [CARETAKER] What a ridiculous idea. [DOCTOR] Perhaps. But I do have a better one. [CARETAKER] And what is that? [DOCTOR] No doubt you've been allowing the Cleaners to kill off some ofyour people as well as the Kangs, for reasons which are at the momentbeyond me but then I'm not a power crazed psychopath. [CARETAKER] What did you say? [DOCTOR] Listen, you're going to kill me anyway so you may as well makeuse of my brain. [DOCTOR] What I also think is happening is that, besides youractivities, is that the Caretakers, the Kangs, Red, Yellow, Blue andeveryone else are being killed off without instructions from you. Andthat's why you're worried. You don't know who's doing it. [CARETAKER] Oh, don't I? [DEPUTY] Report from floor one hundred and nine, Chief! Two of theoldsters have apparently disappeared and it's believed they've gonedown the XY three standard issue waste disposal unit. [CARETAKER] What? [DEPUTY] It's unheard of, Chief. I should remind you that underemergency regulation number three four eight stroke five subsection six [CARETAKER] All right, all right, all right. I'd better go andinvestigate this myself. Deputy, I leave you in charge. I don't need toremind you of the consequences of second mistake. [DEPUTY] No, Chief. [CARETAKER] No. Perhaps we should allow the Great Architect to see acopy of the Illustrated Prospectus of Paradise Towers. Might bring backhappy memories for him. Not that I shall be away long. It's against myprinciples to keep anyone waiting. [DEPUTY] And no funny business with the rulebook this time, all right? [DOCTOR] I'm afraid I've got far too much to worry about, Deputy ChiefCaretaker. --------------------------------------- (Lift) [MEL] It's all safe. Quick! All I have to do ispress the button the three hundred and fourth floor and [PEX] Er, Mel? [MEL] Yes? [PEX] Look. [MEL] What is it? [PEX] I'll explain later. Could you just press the button? [MEL] Of course. Come on! [PEX] We call those the Cleaners and sometimes they [MEL] Pex? [PEX] What? [MEL] Am I imagining things? [PEX] Why? [MEL] Are we going up or are we going down? [PEX] We're going down. [MEL] But I pressed the button [PEX] The Kangs play a game you see. They get into the lift and pressthe buttons for all kinds of floors up and down the building. [MEL] So we could be stuck in here going up and down for hours. [PEX] Yes. --------------------------------------- (Caretaker Headquarters) [NARRATOR] Welcome one and all to Paradise Towers, which will be yournew home for a good few years to come. Some of you will understandablyfeel nervous at leaving everything you know for a strange newenvironment, but we believe once you've tasted the Paradise Towersexperience you won't want to change it for any other. Our motto isBuild High for Happiness. [DOCTOR] Please stop. [NARRATOR] The facilities of this mighty structure are unrivalled, asyou can see from these pictures.) [BIN LINER] How you do, Doctor. [DOCTOR] How you do. Bin Liner, Fire Escape, how did you get here? [FIRE ESCAPE] We track you down the Carrydoors, creep in when the ChiefCaretaker left and bundle up these others. [BIN LINER] Sorry to disturb you. [DOCTOR] Not at all, I'm delighted to see you. Oh, whoops. [DOCTOR] I'm sure there are some rules to govern this, Deputy Chief. [DOCTOR] That's the most intelligent thing he's said so far. --------------------------------------- (Tilda and Tabby's home) [MADDY] Well, I can't think of any other explanation, can you? [CARETAKER] Since you ask, thousands. [MADDY] Well, it's never happened before. We Rezzies are all veryfrightened. [CARETAKER] Well, you have my assurance there is no cause for panic. [MADDY] No cause for panic. [CARETAKER] No. [MADDY] No cause for panic? [CARETAKER] No. [MADDY] Two of my next door neighbours have just disappeared down thewaste disposal chute. I wouldn't wish that on anybody. [CARETAKER] I will conduct a full investigation on the matter and in duecourse a report will be issued to all residents. And you may restassured there'll be no cover up. No cover up whatsoever. On the otherhand, I would urge you for the moment to keep the matter quiet. Wedon't want to alarm people unduly, do we? [MADDY] Well, I'm not really sure I ought to. [CARETAKER] Not that I would wish to bribe you to hold your tongue inanyway but rules can be made flexible, and it could be arranged for youto move into this flat instead of your own. It is substantially larger.And after all, what's the good of panicking people when I repeateverything is under control. [MADDY] Well, I'd hate to upset anybody. [CARETAKER] Exactly. And now if you'll excuse me I think I will departand begin my investigation. In the basement, perhaps. --------------------------------------- (Lift) [MEL] Well is suppose it is one way of seeing the Paradise Towers, justso long as nothing goes wrong with the lift. [PEX] What did you say? [MEL] Oh, it doesn't matter really. It's just, it's just if the liftgets completely stuck between floors [MEL] And the lights go out. [PEX] Oh, I hate the dark. --------------------------------------- (Red Kang Headquarters) [DOCTOR] Well, Kangs, I must say, there's no place like home. And thisis no place like home. [BIN LINER] Be seated, Doctor. [FIRE ESCAPE] And drink. [DOCTOR] Oh, yes. Thank you, Fire Escape. But before we do anythingelse, we must view the Illustrated Prospectus. Now which pocket did Iput it in? --------------------------------------- (Lift) [MEL] Hand on, I think I've found something. The controls are reallystiff, though. [PEX] Here, let me. [MEL] Well done, Pex! Except we seem to be going down. Very fast! --------------------------------------- (Red Kang Headquarters) [BIN LINER] All shape ship and ready, Doctor. [DOCTOR] Ah, the opening's not important, Bin Liner. Wind it on. [NARRATOR] Paradise Towers has been specially designed for you byKroagnon, universally known as the Great Architect. The geniusresponsible for Golden Dream Park, The Bridge of Perpetual Motion,Miracle City. [DOCTOR] Miracle City! --------------------------------------- (Lift) [MEL] Where are we now? [PEX] Oh, no. [MEL] What is it? [PEX] I think we're in the Basement. [MEL] As in, forbidden to all residents of Paradise Towers on pain ofdeath. [VOICE] Soon. Soon. Soon I shall be free. [MEL] You hear that? Oh, we have to get out of here. --------------------------------------- (Red Kang Headquarters) [DOCTOR] Kroagnon was a brilliant architect, and Miracle City, hismasterpiece. Only [BIN LINER] Only? [DOCTOR] Only he refused to move out and let anybody move in. He thoughtthat people would destroy the beauty of his work. But they got him out.Only those who moved in lived to regret it. [FIRE ESCAPE] He made them unalive. [DOCTOR] Yes. Nothing could be proven so he got away with it. And as Isaid, he was a brilliant architect. And space is a big place, so he gotother work, if course, including Paradise Towers. [BIN LINER] Blank walls and cleaners. [DOCTOR] Quite. And then he disappeared. Mayhaps, my dear Red Kangs,mayhaps your parents thought they were being very clever by trappinghim in his own building so he wouldn't finish it. But if they did sucha thing, it was very foolish. Because no matter how deep they buriedhim in Paradise Towers, he's bound to get out in the end. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [CHIEF] Oi! What are you doing there RoboticCleaner four seven nine? I didn't order you to stand there. Get back tosix seven Y ghetto at once. [CHIEF] Do you hear my orders? What do you think you're doing, RoboticCleaner four seven nine? There's no need for this. Really, there isn't.No need at all. I, I, I was going to the basement, anyway. --------------------------------------- (Lift) [MEL] We've got to get out of here. This is really jammed this time. [PEX] Shall I hit it? [MEL] All right, give it a try. What have we got to lose? Come on, Pex. [MEL] Well done, Pex! Going up. --------------------------------------- (Red Kang Headquarters) [BIN LINER] So what must Red Kangs do, Doctor? [FIRE ESCAPE] We'll fight for you! [RED KANGS] Yes! [DOCTOR] More than that, you must tell me all you know. I mean, thatdoor with smoke coming out of it. Where is it? Please, it's important. [BIN LINER] In the Basement. The Cleaners have a secret alleviator. RedKangs have used it and seen [DOCTOR] And seen what? [BIN LINER] Things they could not speak of. [DOCTOR] I'm going down to the basement to find out what's going on. [BIN LINER] I'll go and look with you, Doctor. [FIRE ESCAPE] And me! [RED KANGS] And me! And me! And me! [DOCTOR] Fire Escape, Bin Liner and Air Duct, you come with me. The reststay here. [BLUE KANG] No. Red Kangs leave no outlooks. Blue Kangs have got intotheir Brainquarters and won the game. Blue Kangs are best! [DOCTOR] Please! Please! Please! This is no time for games. The futureof Paradise Towers is at stake. We must all work together. You've gotto help us. Do you understand? [BLUE KANG] But Blue Kangs have won. --------------------------------------- (Caretaker Headquarters) [DEPUTY] Chief? Chief? Chief. It's no good. I can't trace him anywhere. --------------------------------------- (Red Kang Headquarters) [DOCTOR] Look, you've got to believe me. I'm surethe Red Kangs will agree that you've won this round of the game, butthere won't be any games worth playing if we don't discover who'sordering the killings. Will you let us go to the basement? [BLUE KANG] More, I will come with you. [DOCTOR] Good. Then you will see with your own eyes what's going on. --------------------------------------- (Outside Red Kang Headquarters) [BLUE KANG] Blue Kang I-spy saw Chief Caretakerfooting it there too. [DOCTOR] We must hurry. What's the quickest way to get there? --------------------------------------- (Red Kang Headquarters) [BIN LINER] We must use the Cleaner's secretalleviator. [DOCTOR] Ah. Right. To the basement! Build high for happiness. [KANGS] Build high for happiness. --------------------------------------- (Lift) [MEL] Three hundred. Three hundred and one. Three hundred and two. Threehundred and three. Three hundred and (bing) We made it! [MEL] I just don't believe it. I really don't. --------------------------------------- (Pool in the Sky) [MEL] And look, here it is. Oh, it's just how Iimagined it. Why don't the residents of the Towers ever use it, Pex? [PEX] It's the home of the unalive. We shouldn't be here. [MEL] Oh, that's all nonsense. Don't you think it's wonderful to besomewhere calm and clean and relaxing? [PEX] It makes me nervous. [MEL] Oh, everything makes you nervous. I'm glad this is where I agreedto meet the Doctor. Aren't you going to have a swim, Pex? I just don'tunderstand you. I think all that talk of it being dangerous is just atrick by the Caretakers so they don't have to come and clean up thepool all the time. Come on, lets investigate. Just a few minutes totake the weight off my feet and then it's straight in to that lovelycool water. --------------------------------------- (Basement) [CARETAKER] Look, I don't understand what thematter is, my beauty. I've always made sure you've had lot of tenderlittle morsels to keep you big and strong, so why are giving myCleaners orders that aren't my orders and killing people I didn't tellyou to kill? [VOICE] Because the bodies the Cleaners brought were not right. [CARETAKER] Not right? What for? [VOICE] For me to live in. [CARETAKER] To live in? I don't understand, my pet. [VOICE] Neither could they. That was the problem. [CARETAKER] You see, all these bodies disappearing. People are beginningto notice, you know. [VOICE] No matter. [CARETAKER] What did you say? [VOICE] I am ready now. I have my plan. [CARETAKER] Look, it's nice to have you chattier than usual, my pet, butI do think you might be a bit more grateful for all I've done for you. [VOICE] You have done all I need you to do. I need only one more thingfrom you. [CARETAKER] Oh, do you? And suppose I won't give it to you? [VOICE] You have no choice. I am Kroagnon, the Great Architect, and Iwill put an end to you and everyone in Paradise Towers! [BIN LINER] Ware Cleaners! [DOCTOR] Back to the lift. [FIRE ESCAPE] Wait, Doctor. [DOCTOR] Back! [BLUE KANG] Doctor! No! --------------------------------------- (Basement) [CARETAKER] Attention all Robotic Cleaners. Attention all RoboticCleaners. At last Kroagnon can leave the basement prison they trappedhis bodiless brain in and return in this borrowed body to the corridorsand lifts of his own creation. They buried me away because I wanted tostop them using the Towers, and now you and I will destroy them. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [DOCTOR] Just a moment! Please, stop! Please! Theimmediate danger's over. I wouldn't mind getting my breath back. [BLUE KANG] The Doctor really is ice hot. [DOCTOR] Very hot. [BLUE KANG] Not a yawny Oldster. [DOCTOR] Now, you understand the dangerous position we're in. We mustgather all the Kangs together. [FIRE ESCAPE] And is the Chief Caretaker really unalive? [DOCTOR] As himself, yes. But you saw what happened. I mean, up to nowKroagnon's simply been a mind without a body, as your parents must haveleft him. However, I fear he may have spent his time down theredevising a way of performing corpoelectroscopy. A way of transplantinghis brilliant brain to some host body. [BIN LINER] And what's the come out, Doctor? [DOCTOR] I can't be certain, but Kroagnon won't want to stay locked upin his basement much longer. He's bound to show himself in one form oranother. --------------------------------------- (Pool in the Sky) [MEL] Oh, the water's really lovely. You really ought to come and joinme, Pex. It'll do you the world of good. There's really nothing to befrightened of. [MEL] Help! --------------------------------------- (Red Kang Headquarters) [DOCTOR] It's taking over the building floor by floor. [BIN LINER] Return to Red Kang Base and 'ware Cleaners! Build high forhappiness. [DOCTOR] Is Fire Escape going to join us? Are all the Kangs here? Red?Blue? [BLUE KANG] Yes. Except for [DOCTOR] Those who've been made unalive. Yes. Well, when Fire Escapegets here we must all make for the Great Pool in the Sky. --------------------------------------- (Pool in the Sky) [MEL] Pex, do something! [PEX] What shall I do? [MEL] Anything! Anything! [PEX] Help! Help! [MEL] Can't you think of anything else? [MEL] Quick, give me that! [PEX] Mel, I did warn you. --------------------------------------- (Caretaker Headquarters) [DEPUTY] Attention, all Caretakers. Regulation ZZZis now in operation. This overrides all other rules and regulations. Irepeat, this overrides all other rules and regulations. All Caretakersto act with extreme caution and get back here as fast as they can. --------------------------------------- (Pool in the Sky) [MEL] Pex. [PEX] What? [MEL] I'm sorry. [MEL] What's that? [PEX] Where? [MEL] Well, there's a rustling sound coming from over there. [PEX] I only checked it a few minutes ago. [MEL] Shall I go? [PEX] If you want. [PEX] Nothing there? [MEL] No. [PEX] Sure? [MEL] Of course. See for yourself. [MEL] Doctor! [DOCTOR] I'm sorry to give you such a shock, Mel, but this is where theCleaner service lift appears to come out. [MEL] Oh, Doctor, it's so good to see you! [DOCTOR] And you, Mel, and you. Er, how do you do? [MEL] This is Pex. [DOCTOR] Ah. I believe you've met my friends before. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [CARETAKER] Search hard, my Cleaners, search hard. Bring them all out!All the nasty human beings! The Caretakers, the Residents, the Kangs,all of them! We'll be back to collect the rubbish later. --------------------------------------- (Pool in the Sky) [MEL] Imagine building this beautiful pool and filling it withmechanical killers. [DOCTOR] The rest of the Towers would have been like this pool if he'dhad his way. A killer in every corner. [MEL] And you're sure Kroagnon's been let loose again? [DOCTOR] Oh, very much so. But we know so little about his plans. He'shad years to brood over what he wants to do, but we've no time to comeup with a counter plan. [FIRE ESCAPE] Did Mel make the creature unalive for you? [BLUE KANG] And stop you being taken to the cleaners? [FIRE ESCAPE] Then Mel is a Kang after all. [PEX] I'll show you all. I will put the world of Paradise Towers torights. [BIN LINER] Oh, yes? [PEX] Yes! [FIRE ESCAPE] You're a cowardly cutlet, Pex. You always hide. Always. [MEL] They shouldn't treat him like that. [DOCTOR] That's Paradise Towers in a nutshell, I'm afraid. The Red Kangsdidn't trust the Blue Kangs, and none of them trusted the Caretakers.And the Rezzies, from your account, prey on whoever they can and trustno one either. And all of them despise poor old Pex. Oh, the GreatArchitect must be delighted. How are we going to unite the people ofParadise Towers to defeat him? [MEL] We'll find a way. We have to. [KANGS] He's a cowardly cutlet. He's a cowardly cutlet. He's a cowardlycutlet. He's a cowardly cutlet. He's a cowardly cutlet. He's a cowardlycutlet. He's a cowardly cutlet. He's a cowardly cutlet. [MEL] Pex, don't go. Pex! [MADDY] I, that is we, we the Rezzies, the remaining Rezzies, that is,want to talk to you all. I think we may need your help. --------------------------------------- (Caretaker Headquarters) [DEPUTY] Why, Chiefy, I thought you were lost. I [CARETAKER] The Towers have become appallingly dirty. [DEPUTY] Sorry? [CARETAKER] The whole place is polluted with flesh. Living flesh. [DEPUTY] Flesh? Did you say living flesh? [CARETAKER] Yes. [DEPUTY] But Chief, you [CARETAKER] Deputy, may I remind you that there is a rulebook and therulebook says that the orders of the Chief Caretaker are never to bequestioned. [DEPUTY] Yes, yes, yes, of course. Of course, Chief. Unless [CARETAKER] Unless? [DEPUTY] Well, I think you may recall that there are certain casesspecified when the rulebook can be overridden, and that is when theChief Caretaker [CARETAKER] Yes? [DEPUTY] Just isn't the Chief Caretaker. --------------------------------------- (Outside the Caretaker Headquarters) [CARETAKER] Leave him, leave him. We'll clean himup when we clean up all the others. --------------------------------------- (Pool in the Sky) [MADDY] The Cleaners have reached about floor onehundred and fifteen now. All the Rezzies who can, have moved up to thehigher floors, but not everyone was quick enough. [DOCTOR] And you're sure that person ordering the Cleaners to do thislooks like the Chief Caretaker? [BIN LINER] But he's unalive, Doctor. We saw it. [DOCTOR] Exactly. So the Great Architect has taken over his body. [FIRE ESCAPE] Why should we believe her? Rezzies are full of untruth. [BLUE KANG] And Kangs. Rotten old rubber neck [DOCTOR] Please, please, be quiet. Shush. Be quiet. [MADDY] Of course, I know that we residents have not always been asneighbourly as we might have been, but some have been worse thanothers. And the worst have gone down the waste disposal chute. Butthose of us who are left want to let bygones be bygones. We're all indanger now and, well, we're very sorry for what we did and we won't doit again. If we survive, that is. We need each other's help. [DOCTOR] Well, you Kangs, what do you say to that? [BIN LINER] I won't say Rezzies are ice hot, but yes, she's not tellinguntruths. And yes, we'll help each other. [DOCTOR] All agreed? Pex? [FIRE ESCAPE] Don't ask him. He's a cowardly cutlet. [DOCTOR] Fire Escape! Shush! Pex? [FIRE ESCAPE] We work with Rezzies, no to do. We work with Pex, no todo. But the Caretakers? [KANGS] Never ever! [DEPUTY] Ahem. Excuse me. I'm sorry to intrude like this, but I wonderedif I might have a word with you all. --------------------------------------- (Caretaker Headquarters) [CARETAKER] One hundred and seventy. All the messy creatures will bemoving up to the swimming pool zone on floor three oh four. Luckilythey won't have time to make it too untidy before I destroy them! Ihave nothing to fear. Nobody knows my Paradise Towers better than I do. --------------------------------------- (Pool in the Sky) [DOCTOR] We have very little time, so we must thinkclearly. Now Kroagnon, as we now must call the Chief Caretaker, isfirmly installed in your headquarters. Am I right, Deputy Chief? [DEPUTY] Yes, Doctor. [DOCTOR] So we must find a way of getting him out again. [BIN LINER] Set a trap for him. [DOCTOR] Precisely. [MADDY] We used to do that a lot with the rats. [MEL] But what about the Cleaners? [DOCTOR] First, we must immobilise as many as we can. [DEPUTY] Doctor? [DOCTOR] Yes? [DEPUTY] I know it's against the rulebook to say this, but I supposethese are exceptional circumstances. [DOCTOR] They could be described thus, yes. [DEPUTY] Well, on the two hundred and forty fifth floor Sodium Street,corridor seventy five, there's a secret emergency supply kept for pestsgoing out of control. [MEL] An emergency supply of what? [DEPUTY] Explosives. [MEL] That'll do it. [FIRE ESCAPE] Ice hot! [BIN LINER] With explosives and arrogance we can blow up the Cleaners,no problem. [BLUE KANG] Send the Cleaners to the Cleaners. [KANG] Yes! [MADDY] Most of the Rezzies make table cloths. We could throw them overthe Cleaners to slow them down for you to shoot. [FIRE ESCAPE] Ice hot, Maddy! [DOCTOR] We seem to be getting somewhere at last. --------------------------------------- (Caretaker Headquarters) [CARETAKER] One hundred and sixty three. Time tosee what the human garbage is up to in the swimming pool zone. [COMPUTER] By express order of the Great Architect, surveillance of theswimming pool is not allowed. Not allowed. --------------------------------------- (Pool in the Sky) [DOCTOR] Please, please! We must move on to themain problem. How to persuade Kroagnon to leave his safety and come toa place of our choosing where we can trap and defeat him. [DEPUTY] He'll never leave there until we're all wiped out. We'll nevermanage to break in. I should know that. [DOCTOR] Well, there is a way that might just work. [FIRE ESCAPE] What's that, Doctor? [DOCTOR] Well, you see, Kroagnon is undoubtedly a very clever and veryproud being, and like many clever and proud beings likes to beappreciated by his equals. Now, I think if he had the chance to meetsuch a person, he would leave his lair to do so. [MEL] Doctor, you're not going to go and [DOCTOR] I've no choice, Mel. I mean, in all honesty, I am the onlyobvious candidate. [MEL] You'll go out there and show yourself and be killed. [DOCTOR] Oh no, no, no. That would be extremely futile. I will allowmyself to be seen, and then somebody will go to Kroagnon and offer tolead him to me. Right into our little trap. Now that person has a farmore difficult and dangerous mission than I. [PEX] I will go to Kroagnon. I am Pex and I am the [FIRE ESCAPE] Cowardly cutlet. [PEX] Well you all have tasks to do. Caretakers, Residents, Kangs, whyshould only Pex be left out? Pex the trained fighting machine. Pex theonly [BIN LINER] Scaredy cat. [MEL] Pex, are you sure you want to do this? [PEX] Yes, I am. [DOCTOR] So be it. --------------------------------------- (Caretaker Headquarters) [DOCTOR [on monitor]] Hello, there, Kroagnon. This is the Doctorspeaking. I don't believe we've met, though no doubt you've heard ofme. I thought so. Anyway, I'd heard so much about Paradise Towers Ithought I'd come and take a look and, believe me, I'm verydisappointed. It displays exactly what everyone says is your usualfailure as an architect. Not making allowances for people. Still, I'msure if we managed to work together, we might just about make thisplace habitable. I've a few ideas which I might give to you, if you canbe bothered to listen. Bye for now. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [MADDY] Oh, excuse me. Excuse me. I hope you don't mind my mentioningit, but I think you've missed some rubbish in the street back there. [MADDY] Charge! --------------------------------------- (Red Kang Headquarters) [DOCTOR] Now, you're clear what you have to do,Pex? [MEL] And you are sure you want to go through with it? [PEX] I won't be unbrave again. [DOCTOR] Remember, Pex, you must get him out of the CaretakersHeadquarters as quick as you can so that he doesn't see what'shappening to the Cleaners. But then, once he's out, take as long as youcan. We need time. No heroics, just a cool clear head. [PEX] I can manage. [DOCTOR] Good luck, Pex. [MEL] I've been asked to give you this, Pex. It's a Kang bracelet. Theywanted to give it to you. They think you're not a scaredy cat anylonger but a real Kang. Good luck, Pex. [PEX] You take this, Mel. Can't use it this time. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [BLUE KANG] Come on, on to the next one. --------------------------------------- (Caretaker Headquarters) [CARETAKER] So, you say you could lead me to thisso-called Doctor who dares to mock me? [PEX [on monitor]] Yes. He and the other, er, mobile rubbish have founda place to hide that they think you don't know about, and they'rethere, planning ways of resistance. [CARETAKER] If you deliver me this Doctor, I'll give you a safe way out. --------------------------------------- (Red Kang Headquarters) [MEL] Doctor? [DOCTOR] Yes? [MEL] The door's nearly back in place anyway but they're having troublewith the fortamolascope opening device. [DOCTOR] I'd better give them a hand. See what you can do to help theKangs down there. Oh, and Mel, don't forget to leave the escape hatchuncovered so that I can make my exit. I just hope that Pex doesn't losehis nerve and hurry, otherwise it won't be Kroagnon who's caught in abooby trap, it'll be us. --------------------------------------- (Fountain of Happiness Square) [CARETAKER] This is not some trick, is it? [PEX] No, no. [KROAGNON] I've only just began to enjoy walking around my marvellousTowers in this body and I wouldn't deal very kindly with anybody whowas stupid enough to lay a trap for me. Not frightened, are you? [PEX] I, I think we ought to hurry, Great Architect. Please? Let'shurry. [KROAGNON] As you wish. [BLUE KANG] They're on their way. --------------------------------------- (Red Kang Headquarters) [MEL] What's happening? [BIN LINER] They're making all speed here. [MEL] What? [BIN LINER] Pex has been a scaredy cat. They'll be here in no time. [DOCTOR] I must tell the Doctor. [BIN LINER] Danger, tripwires. This way. --------------------------------------- (Outside Red Kang Headquarters) [DOCTOR] That should do it. [DEPUTY] Doctor! [DEPUTY] And we're not ready for him. [DOCTOR] Oh, Pex. Move back, quickly. [FIRE ESCAPE] Oh, but Doctor, he'll make you unalive. [DOCTOR] There's only one way this might work, and for that I need to beon my own. [MEL] Come on. [CARETAKER] Well? [DOCTOR] Well, now, Kroagnon, how nice of you to drop in. I am so glad.I wanted to have a few words with you about the shoddy design of thisbuilding. I mean, take this door for instance. Look at it. [CARETAKER] There was nothing wrong with it when I built it, unlesshumanoid creatures have damaged it. [DOCTOR] Well, speaking as an expert, I'm prepared to tell the universeyou couldn't design a simple doorknob. I mean, look. [DOCTOR] Pex! Help! [DOCTOR] Pex! Pex! --------------------------------------- (Fountain of Happiness Square) [BIN LINER] Hail Pex. Hail the unalive who gave his life for the Towers.In life he was not a Kang but in death he was brave and bold as a Kangshould be. [KANGS] Hail Pex. Hail the unalive. Hail Pex. Hail the unalive. [MEL] Poor Pex. [DOCTOR] Indeed, poor Pex. But look, Mel, they're all here. TheCaretakers, the Rezzies, the Kangs. This would never have happenedbefore. Perhaps now they'll all start working together. [DOCTOR] Ah, Fire Escape. Now, have you managed to remove the Kangwallscrawls from the Tardis as you promised? [FIRE ESCAPE] Build high for happiness, Doctor. [DOCTOR] Oh, thank you very much. [BLUE KANG] We're sorry you must go, Doctor and Mel. We've made you anhonorary Kang, Doctor. [DOCTOR] Oh, a Blue Kang or a Red Kang? [FIRE ESCAPE] Both. [DOCTOR] Ah, well I'll be honoured to wear it. And all my best wishes tothe future of Paradise Towers. [DOCTOR] Goodbye. [MEL] No, Doctor. [DOCTOR] Well you never can tell.

Doctor Who (2 Nov, 1987; Seventh Doctor) - Delta and the Bannermen (Planet surface) [GAVROK] Take no prisoners! Kill them all! [DELTA] Are you strong enough to run? [CHIMA] Run where? They've firebombed every ship we have. [DELTA] Then we'll have to take one of theirs. Now! --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [DELTA] I'll cover the hatch. [GAVROK] You are the last survivor, but not for long. [DELTA] You saved my life, Chima. I'm sorry. [CHIMA] Go. Get away. Take thiswith you. --------------------------------------- (Planet surface) [GAVROK] Help! [TOLLMASTER [OC]] Attention, incomingcraft. You're approaching Tollport G seven one five. Please have yourcredits ready. [DOCTOR] It's strange how in some galaxies these tollports spring up allover the place like mushrooms, yet in others you can go for light yearswithout seeing a single one. [MEL] Doctor [DOCTOR] I think it relates to the way that space is being developed. Imean, there never has been a consistent three dimensional planningpolicy. [MEL] Doctor, something doesn't look right. Only the landing lights areon. It looks abandoned. [DOCTOR] And by completely ignoring the overspill from the fourthdimension they sometimes build one port right on top of the other, onlyrealising it when there's an interface slippage. [MEL] Doctor, this is serious. There's something wrong. [DOCTOR] Yes, it is serious. I don't seem to have any change. Er, takefive credits from the kitty, Mel. [MEL] There's nothing in here again. [DOCTOR] That kitty defies all known laws of physics. I keep filling itup and it's always empty. Mel, there's something wrong. Only theirlanding lights are on. [TOLLMASTER [OC]] Tollport G seven one five. Please have your creditsready. [TOLLMASTER [OC]] Tollport G seven one five. Tollport G seven one five. [DOCTOR] Mel, I don't like the look of this one little bit. [MEL] Me too. It's spooky. [DOCTOR] Get ready to run back into the Tardis at the first sign oftrouble. [MEL] Okay. [TOLLMASTER [OC]] Halt! [DOCTOR] Who's there? Why don't you come out of the light andshow yourself? [TOLLMASTER] Surprise, surprise! By Jove, yes.Welcome, friends. A thousand welcomes. [DOCTOR] It's a funny way to welcome your friends. We thought you'd beenattacked by space pirates. Now, about this toll fee [TOLLMASTER] Toll fee? Tonight is your lucky night. Because Youare our ten billionth customer. [DOCTOR] Ten billion customers? [TOLLMASTER] And one. [DOCTOR] You mean to say ten billion people have comehere? [TOLLMASTER] Exactly. [DOCTOR] Congratulations. Now, about this toll fee. [TOLLMASTER] But, but you've won! You've won the grand prize. [MEL] What is it? I've never won anything before. [TOLLMASTER] Your prize. Hang about. You have wonour fabulous Fifties tour. A week, a whole week, in Disneyland, planetEarth. And this time, they're going back to 1959. The rock and rollyears. [MEL] Oh, that's fantastic! Oh, let's go, Doctor. Please agree. Ourlast holiday wasn't exactly ice hot. Oh, please? [DOCTOR] A holiday? Yes, a week's holiday would be quite pleasant. Agreen swarth, a babbling brook, birds twittering. --------------------------------------- (Welsh countryside) [DOCTOR [OC]] Just what's required. Alarge dose of tranquillity. [WEISMULLER] I never had a red alert before. [HAWK] Me neither. [WEISMULLER] I think we'd better find a telephone real fast. [HAWK] Out here? [WEISMULLER] Get in the car. Get in the car. (A policetelephone box is standing on a piece of parched earth near a wood whena Morris Minor car BUO193 pulls up and two portly men get out. One iswearing an NY logo baseball cap and jacket, and is therefore anAmerican. Everyone say Hi! to Stubby Kaye. He goesup to the police box and pulls out the telephone which is, of course,marked for public use.) [WEISMULLER] Hello, will you put me through to the White House,Washington DC? This is a priority call, code eleven. [WEISMULLER] Hello? This is Agent Jerome P Weismuller speaking fromWales, in England. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Oh, oh yes, sir. We'll get righton it, sir. [HAWK] Well? [WEISMULLER] That was the President's right hand man. Wow! [HAWK] Come on, Weismuller, spill the beans. Why the red alert? [WEISMULLER] He says that Cape Canaveral has fired a space rocket withan artificial satellite. [HAWK] This is history in the making, Weismuller. What are we supposedto do about it? [WEISMULLER] Surveillance, Hawk, surveillance. We've been selected. It'sour job to track the thing. --------------------------------------- (Tollport G715) [MEL] Are we going to have a whole space cruiser toourselves? [TOLLMASTER] Oh, no. You're going on a scheduled tour with theNavarino's 1950's club. [DOCTOR] Navarinos from the tribe on Navarro? Squat, wrinkly, purplycreatures? Won't they be a little conspicuous on Earth? [TOLLMASTER] Oh, I don't think so. Not now. They've been through atransformation arch. Now, follow me. We must stick to time.Everyone knows I'm a stickler for time. [ADLON] Come on. [BOLLIT] Don't be a coward. [ADLON] Come on, it doesn't hurt. Come on, come on. That's it. [MURRAY] Thank you very much. Thank you. [DOCTOR] Who's that? [TOLLMASTER] Oh, that's Murray, your pilot. [DOCTOR] Oh, this is going to be very interesting. [MEL] What is? [DOCTOR] Nostalgia Trips, the most notorious travel firm in the fivegalaxies. It was a Nostalgia Trip cruiser that got stuck with the glasseaters of Tharl. [MEL] Oh, dear. [TOLLMASTER] Yes, well, they may have had one or two little problems inthe past, but that's all sorted out now. [MEL] But the brochure shows a space cruiser, not an old bus. [TOLLMASTER] Old bus? This is a very expensive conversion. The chassisand the engine, they're from a Helstrom Two, the very latest thing inspace cruisers. The old-fashioned bodywork, well, that's just to pleasethe tourists. We're not fools, you know. [MURRAY] I've been through that thing a hundred times and I still don'tlike it. Oh, welcome aboard. I'm Murray. [MEL] I'm Mel and this is the Doctor. [MURRAY] That's great. Knowing Nostalgia Trips, we may need a doctor.Come on, folks. All aboard! [DOCTOR] Mel, you go ahead on the bus. I'll follow on in the Tardis. [MEL] Thanks. [MURRAY] Oh, you don't think the old bus'll make it, Doctor? Underneaththis streamliner shell is a Helstrom Fireball engine. None finer. [TOLLMASTER] Come along, folks. All aboard. Have fun. Remember yourtime. 1959. Is that your husband or have you brought thebulldog with you? Oh, kiss me quick. My goodness me, what a time we'regoing to have. --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [GAVROK [on monitor]] You cannot escape me. Wherever you go, I willtrack you down. [DELTA] My people will survive, Gavrok. [GAVROK [on monitor]] You are the last. Turn back. There is nowhere youcan hide. [DELTA] Your trace finder can follow my ship, but you'llnever take me. [TOLLMASTER [OC]] Attention, incoming craft. You areapproaching Tollport G seven one five. Please have your credits ready. --------------------------------------- (Gavrok's spaceship) [GAVROK] She's somehow switched off the homingtrace. Visual pursuit. Copy her vector. [GAVROK] You're overshooting, fool. She went into that space toll. [TOLLMASTER [OC]] Attention, incoming craft. You're approach --------------------------------------- (Nostalgia Trips bus) [MURRAY] Please keep your seats during the flight and no dancing in theaisles. Now, are we all feeling fine? [ALL] Yes! [MURRAY] All right. 1959, here we come! --------------------------------------- (Welsh countryside) [HAWK] That better? Do you hear anything yet? [WEISMULLER] No, no, nothing. All I get is something called Housewives'Choice. I can't even get any rock and roll. [HAWK] No signal from the satellite? [WEISMULLER] No. Come on down. You try. I tell you, it's hopeless, Hawk.That thing could be anywhere. --------------------------------------- (Nostalgia Trips bus) [MURRAY] Come on now, all of you sing. [MEL] Do you often do the Fifties run? [MURRAY] Ah ha. I love that sort of thing. The music, the haircuts, thebaggy suits. [MEL] (to Delta) Where are you from? [MURRAY] You're not a late arrival from the Navarino party, are you? [DELTA] No. I'm a Chimeron. --------------------------------------- (Welsh countryside) [HAWK] Forget it, Weismuller. Without thosecoordinates, we're shooting in the dark. [WEISMULLER] I am not making that call, and that's that. [HAWK] The boss said we were to share everything. That includesresponsibility, you know. [WEISMULLER] Let me tell you something. If they think we fouled up,they'll be ringing us every five minutes. Now you go ahead and makethat call. [WEISMULLER] Hello? Agent Weismuller speaking. Oh, no, sir. No, no,nothing yet. Oh gee, that's too bad. Oh. Oh, oh, yes sir. Yes, we'll doour very best, sir. Thank you. [HAWK] What's up? [WEISMULLER] Bad news. That satellite has gone haywire, and thescientists think it's going to fall to Earth somewhere around here. Andthe President wants us to find it before certain enemy powers get theirmitts on it. [HAWK] If we don't screw up on this one, it could mean promotion. Wecould go home, Weismuller. Home. [WEISMULLER] Home. The wife. --------------------------------------- (Nostalgia Trips bus) [MURRAY] Keep calm, folks. We're just experiencing a little technicaldifficulty. --------------------------------------- (Outside Shangri La) [MURRAY] Oh, thanks, Doctor. We ran into this piece of space junk. Whatdid you do? [DOCTOR] Well, I simply applied the Tardis vortex drive to generate anantigravity spiral to halt your descent. Sorry about the bumpy landing.A miscalculation. [MURRAY] We could sure use a guy like you at head office. [DOCTOR] The satellite seems to have jammed your navigational pod. Ah,hello, Mel. Nice trip? [MURRAY] Hey, this doesn't look like Disneyland. [DOCTOR] No, well, according to my reckoning, it seems to be somewherein, er, Wales. [MURRAY] We've got to do something with all these people till we get thebus fixed. [DOCTOR] Maybe that series of primitive dwellings could be used as somesort of way station. [MEL] It's a holiday camp. [DOCTOR] Excellent. Just what we're looking for. [MEL] Oh, but Doctor, it looks. I don't know, it looks a bit grim. [DOCTOR] Oh, don't go by appearances, Mel. Often the most interestingpeople stay at these places. This is the real Fifties. --------------------------------------- (Shangri La) [BURTON] Oh, hello! Expected you hours ago. Trouble with the bus, is it?Oh, it happens all the time. Still, you're not far from the chalets. [MURRAY] Do you mind if we rest at the camp until we get the busshipshape? [BURTON] Mind, my dear boy? That is what we are here for. Welcome,campers. I am your camp leader while you are here at Shangri La. Myname is Burton, and if there's anything you need, just ask. (welsh)Follow me, isn't it. [MURRAY] That's right, folks. Follow, er, Burton. He'll look after youuntil the cruiser's ready to roll. Thank you very much. Thank you. --------------------------------------- (Chalet area) [BURTON] Now, follow me. Welcome to Shangri La, where your dreams cometrue. Now, you will all be sharing cabins, but we all eat together.Over there is the dining hall with the shower block behind. Breakfastis at eight, lunch is at one, and supper is at six. Any questions?Splendid. Right, you two. Follow me and I'll show you to your chalet. --------------------------------------- (Mel and Delta's chalet) [BURTON] Right, you will find a list of our rules and regulations behindthe door. Any questions? Splendid. [MEL] Not that it really makes much difference, but which bed would youlike? I don't really mind. One's about as good as the other. Look,I know it isn't like the brochure, but don't be too upset. [DELTA] How long are we in this place for? [MEL] Till the bus is fixed. [DELTA] And then? [MEL] Well, then it's off to Disneyland, I suppose. [DELTA] It might give me enough time. --------------------------------------- (Outside the chalets) [BURTON] Oh, look, your chalet is number one oh one in row Y. Oh, if youneed any help with the bus, I'm sure our young mechanic will be pleasedto assist. I'll see you at lunch, is it? [BILLY] Hi, I'm Billy. [MURRAY] Murray. [DOCTOR] I'm the Doctor. [BILLY] Old man Burton said there was something wrong with your bus, isthat right? [MURRAY] Well, we hit this low orbital satellite, which jammed thenavi-pod and here we are. --------------------------------------- (Mel and Delta's chalet) [MEL] Look, I can see something's bothering you. Doyou want to talk about it? [DELTA] No. --------------------------------------- (By the bus) [DOCTOR] Ah, this is the cause of the problem. An extremely crude loworbital satellite capable only of the most rudimentary of radiotransmissions. [MURRAY] Ah, thanks, Doctor. I've got to fill in an accident report,otherwise head office will withdraw my licence. As it is, it's touchand go. [BILLY] I've never seen an engine like that. [MURRAY] Yes, it's a Helstrom Fireball. Capable of warp five in a goodtail wind. [BILLY] What exactly is it you want to do? [DOCTOR] Well, you see that navi-pod? It needs to be unbolted so we canreplace the broken crystal. [BILLY] Right. [DOCTOR] Now, inside this box is the only Quarb crystal this side ofSoftel nebula. [MURRAY] Thank goodness you came along, Doctor. Head office says it's mylast chance to make good. [DOCTOR] Ah, well done. Now, carefully does it. [RAY] Hi, Billy. [BILLY] Oh, hi, Rachel. This is Murray and the Doctor. [RAY] Please call me Ray. Oh, do you guys want a hand? [MURRAY] You haven't by chance got a one and five eights socket, haveyou? [DOCTOR] Do you always carry around a full set of tools with you? [RAY] Oh, it's what Billy taught me, always to be prepared. [DOCTOR] A stitch in time fills up space. [MURRAY] Oh! I've broken it! Your crystal. No licence, no job, nofuture. [DOCTOR] Well, if you think it might help, I could transport everyone inthe Tardis. [MURRAY] No, thank you, Doctor. The captain never leaves his ship. [DOCTOR] Hmm. Well, there is another alternative. I could accelerategrowth in the thermo-booster and create a crystal in about er, twentyfour hours. [MURRAY] That's fantastic. You've saved my life, Doctor. I can't see anyproblem staying here for twenty four hours. [RAY] Oh, great. I'll see you all at the dance, then. [MURRAY] A dance? With live music? [RAY] Ah ha. Billy here plays great rock and roll. [MURRAY] Sounds too good to miss. [RAY] Okay. See you later, alligator. [MURRAY] I love all that fifties talk. [DOCTOR] Yes. A most personable young lady. Practical, too. She seemsvery fond of you, Billy. [BILLY] She's all right. Like my little sister, you know. Now, if youdon't need me for anything else, I think I'll go wash up for dinner. [MURRAY] Oh, sounds like a good idea. All this spannering really worksup an appetite. --------------------------------------- (Mel and Delta's chalet) [DELTA] What's that? [MEL] It's the dinner gong. I think I'll finish unpacking later. I'll goand get something to eat. [DELTA] Can you be trusted? [MEL] Yes, completely. Discretion's my middle name. I'll see you later. --------------------------------------- (Tollport G715) [GAVROK] Come on, son. Tell me her destination and I will let you live. [TOLLMASTER] I can't. It's more than my job's worth. It's strictlyconfidential. [GAVROK] I'm getting tired of this. Tell me now! [TOLLMASTER] They were going, they were going to Disneyland, planetEarth. When they struck the satellite, they were blown off course. Idon't know where. [GAVROK] Can you not do better than that? [TOLLMASTER] Honestly, I don't know. [GAVROK] I can see that you have done your best. Let him go. [TOLLMASTER] Thank you. Oh, thank you. Thank you, thank you, sir. Thankyou, thank you gentlemen. Thank you, thank you, thank you. [GAVROK] We've wasted enough time here. Plot a course for Earth. I wantevery informer throughout the galaxy to look for her. --------------------------------------- (Main hall) [MEL] Doctor, there's something odd here. [DOCTOR] Well, it is home, for the moment. At least until the navi-pod'sfixed. Personally speaking, I rather like it. [MEL] I'm determined to try and enjoy myself if I can. [DOCTOR] Excellent. [DOCTOR] About your room mate. [MEL] She's got a gun. She's very on edge. [DOCTOR] Have you managed to speak to her at all? [MEL] Of course, but she's totally withdrawn. It makes me nervous. [DOCTOR] If she's who I think she is, then she's in danger. [MEL] From someone here? [DOCTOR] That's what we've got to find out. [BURTON] Well, this is to remind you that tonight we are having our GetTo Know You dance. [ALL] Hooray! [BURTON] Everyone is most welcome, from eight till late. [DOCTOR] Try to get her to come to the dance. It might relax her, andthen maybe she'll speak with us later on. [MEL] I'll see what I can do. [BILLY] What do you think of it, Doctor? I built it myself from spareparts from the war. [DOCTOR] How appropriate. [BILLY] What? [DOCTOR] I said, for a primitive piece of technology it certainlydelivers the decibels. [BILLY] That's what rock and roll's all about. [BILLY] Well, I never felt more like singing the blues, cos I neverthought that I'd ever lose your love, dear. Why'd you do me this way? [MURRAY] Hey, this is great. The 1950 nights back on Navarro were neverlike this. [BILLY] The dream is gone I thought was mine. [RAY] See, Doctor? It's not as bad as all that, now, is it? [DOCTOR] Bad? No. Rather nice, in fact. [RAY] Oh, let's go down to the front. I can't see Billy properly fromhere. [DOCTOR] Er, have you known each other long? [RAY] Oh, since we were children. I even learnt all about motorbikes inthe hope it'd make him notice me, but it doesn't seem to have made ablind bit of difference. [DOCTOR] Come on, let's go down to the front. [BILLY] Thanks, mates. And now, a romantic number from across the pond,for a very special lady in the audience. Why do fools fall in love. [DOCTOR] I was wondering, Ray, if [RAY] Thank you, Doctor, I'd love to. --------------------------------------- (Welsh countryside) [WEISMULLER] Throw some more wood on the fire, Hawk. [HAWK] Why don't you, Weismuller? [WEISMULLER] Because you're nearer to the flap, Hawk. Go on, go on, goon, get out of here. [HAWK] I'll get you, Weismuller. I'll get you. --------------------------------------- (Outside the main hall) [DOCTOR] Lovely dance. [MURRAY] Oh, it's hot in there. [DOCTOR] Ah, you Navarinos have a notoriously high metabolic rate. [MURRAY] That hula hoop competition nearly finished me off. [DOCTOR] Excuse me, Murray. [MURRAY] Hey, you'll miss the last dance, Doctor! --------------------------------------- (Laundry store) [RAY] Oh, hi. I was just, er [RAY] Oh, Doctor, am I being a fool? Billy didn't even offer to take mehome. [DOCTOR] There, there. There's many a slap twixt a cup and a lap, Ray. [RAY] But somehow I always thought Billy and me would end up together.Oh, it shows how wrong you can be. Oh, listen to me. [RAY] We're not supposed to be in here. [KEILLOR] Connect me with the Bannerman leader. [GAVROK [OC]] Gavrok here. Go ahead. [KEILLOR] I understand you're offering a reward for the Chimeron queen. [GAVROK [OC]] Affirmative. One million units. [KEILLOR] I've found her. Repeat, I've found her. [GAVROK [OC]] What is your status? [KEILLOR] I'm a soldier of fortune. Now, do you want to trade or not? [GAVROK [OC]] Affirmative. [KEILLOR] She's at a place called Shangri La, in SouthWales, Western Hemisphere, Earth. Now lock into this signal to guideyou in. [GAVROK [OC]] The reward will be yours when we arrive. End transmission. --------------------------------------- (Mel and Delta's chalet) [DELTA] Thank you. [MEL] What for? [DELTA] For lending me your dress. For making an effort to be kind. [MEL] Oh, I'd help anyone in trouble, if I could. [DELTA] Mel, there's something you should know. [DELTA] My baby. My beautiful baby. --------------------------------------- (Laundry store) [KEILLOR] What an unexpected bonus. You're the traveller in time theycall the Doctor. Your death will make me richer still. [DOCTOR] If you kill for money, let the girl go. She's worth nothing toyou. [KEILLOR] I don't just kill for money. It's also something I enjoy. --------------------------------------- (Gavrok's spaceship) [GAVROK] My bounty hunter will be paid off soonerthan he thinks. Arm the beacon hunter. --------------------------------------- (Mel and Delta's chalet) [DELTA] My life's at risk. I'm going to trust you, and I think youdeserve a full explanation. I think you'd better close the door. --------------------------------------- (Goronwy's cottage) [GORONWY] Good morning. What a beautiful morning it is. [WEISMULLER] Sure is. By the way, have you er, have you seen anythingweird fall out of the sky? [GORONWY] Oh dear me, no. I've seen many things fall out of the sky, butnothing which could be described as weird. [HAWK] What about lights? Anything like that? [GORONWY] Oh, there are strange lights in the night sky all the time.Not just the Aurora Borealis, mind, but low pulsing lights on occasionsand low shooting stars. [WEISMULLER] Uh huh. Er, anything in the last day or so? [GORONWY] I shall ask my bees. They know everything that happens. [HAWK] Sure. Well, I reckon we've taken up enough of your time. [GORONWY] If you stayed a bit longer, young man, you might understand. [GORONWY] Take a look at this butterfly. Arguably one of the mostbeautiful creatures in the whole of nature. Yet if you were to see apupa, you'd think it was the ugliest sight you've ever seen. But youcan't have one without the other. --------------------------------------- (Mel and Delta's chalet) [DELTA] And so, I'm the last Chimeron queen. My planet is right now inthe grip of the invaders. My people are dead. Poor Mel's exhausted. Ithink we'd better let her get some sleep. Billy, I feel like a walk. [BILLY] Sure. The hills around here are beautiful. We can go somewherereally special. [DELTA] But I can't walk too far with the baby. [BILLY] I never said anything about walking. --------------------------------------- (Garage) [DELTA] What is it? [BILLY] She's a Vincent. My pride and joy. --------------------------------------- (Laundry store) [RAY] Oh, my head. [DOCTOR] Do you feel all right? Nothing hurt or broken? [RAY] But, but what happened to that guy with the gun? [DOCTOR] I'm afraid he was paid in kind. You see this signal beacon? Itexploded from the inside. Obviously the Bannermen locked into hissignal and fired off a high impulse beam right along his transmissiontrack. [RAY] So they, they killed him? [DOCTOR] I'm afraid so. Ionised. [RAY] And this is all that's left of him. [DOCTOR] Yes. A poignant reminder that violence always rebounds onitself. But we must warn the others that an attack is imminent. --------------------------------------- (Office) [VINNY] Good morning. Let's start with a song. When the red, red robincomes bob, bob, bobbing along. --------------------------------------- (Mel and Delta's chalet) [DOCTOR] Mel, Mel, are you all right? [MEL] Hmm? Oh, nothing a good night's sleep wouldn't cure. [DOCTOR] Well, I'm afraid that'll have to wait. Do you know where Deltaand Billy have gone? [MEL] They didn't tell me. Billy was taking her to some beauty spot, Ithink. [DOCTOR] Well, we've got to find them as quick as we can. And organisean evacuation of the camp. The Bannermen are on their way. [MEL] I'll get Murray to organise the tour party. [DOCTOR] Good. But they'll be one short. [RAY] He was ionised. [DOCTOR] Yes. But I must try and find Delta and Billy. Do you know wherethey might be, Ray? [RAY] Well, there are a couple of beauty spots in the area we could try.And also a few special places only known to Billy and me. [DOCTOR] Well, we're going to have to keep looking for them until wefind them. But first we must convince Burton to evacuate the camp. Mel,you find Murray. Ray, come with me. [MEL] Right. --------------------------------------- (By the river) [BILLY] Oh, you're a bit of a heavyweight, aren't you? [DELTA] The most rapid growth occurs in the lymphoid state. She'lldouble her size and her weight in the next few hours. [BILLY] Come on. --------------------------------------- (Office) [BURTON] Now, let me try and get this right. Now, are you telling methat you are not the Happy Hearts Holiday Club from Bolton, but insteadare spacemen in fear of an attack from some other spacemen, and becauseof the danger, you want me to evacuate the entire camp? [DOCTOR] An excellent summary, Mister Burton. Now, if you start rightaway, then we'll be able to get them to safety. [BURTON] Oh well, if that is all that is needed, it should be easy. Oh,by the way, can we have space buns and tea afterwards? Or don't theydrink tea on Mars? [DOCTOR] I thought you might be a little skeptical. What can I do toconvince you? [BURTON] Oh, this is a waste of time, Doctor. [DOCTOR] Listen, Mister Burton. If you don't act right away, innocentpeople will die! I will do whatever I can to convince you I'm notsuffering from some sort of delusion. [BURTON] All right, Doctor. Dan das sochivy. [RAY] Meinwyr, meinwyr. [BURTON] How about showing us your spaceship, eh? [RAY] Oh, can I come too, Doctor? [DOCTOR] Of course, but let's go quickly. --------------------------------------- (Outside chalet 108) [MEL] Murray! Murray, wake up! [MURRAY] What's the matter? [MEL] There's an emergency, Murray. We have to get ready to leave assoon as the bus is fixed. [MURRAY] What kind of emergency? [MEL] The Bannerman warfleet's on its way. [MURRAY] You stay there. I'll get changed. [MEL] Okay. --------------------------------------- (Outside Shangri La) [DOCTOR] It's called a Tardis, an acronym for Time And RelativeDimensions In Space. [BURTON] Really? Couldn't we take it for a bit of a spin, Doctor? [DOCTOR] Yes, with pleasure, but first things first. We must clear thecamp. [BURTON] Right. --------------------------------------- (Chalet area) [MURRAY] Everybody out, campers! Attention!Everybody out! Listen, everybody out! Now look, we should quickly packand then wait at the bus until we're ready to leave. [BOLLIT] (a lady) Well, what's the big rush, Murray? It's nice here. [MURRAY] Truth is, there's a Bannerman war fleet on its way here. Niceand easy, folks. Don't panic! Nice and easy, nice and easy, don'tpanic. [DOCTOR] I see you've got everything under control, Murray. We must goand see the crystal. If it's ready, then you must leave. [MURRAY] You won't see me for dust, Doctor. --------------------------------------- (Office) [BURTON] Good morning, everyone. This is a matter of some urgency. --------------------------------------- (Chalet area) [BURTON [OC]] Could all staff, without exception,assemble in my office immediately. Could all employees --------------------------------------- (Outside Shangri La) [DOCTOR] It's almost re-grown. Just another half hour. And then you'vegot to leave, whether I come back or not. [MURRAY] Back from where? [DOCTOR] I've got to find Delta. Mel, you stay here and organise things.Come on, let's go, Ray. [DOCTOR] Take care of the crystal! [MURRAY] Count on me, Doctor. --------------------------------------- (Office) [BURTON] I've call you all here at such shortnotice because we are facing a crisis. Now, what I would like you allto do is to go back to your chalets and pack whatever you need for onenight. I have already ordered a bus to take us all away from here. Youwill spend the night in Llandrindod Wells and return in a day or so.Any questions? Splendid. [VINNY] I don't normally like running away, sir. What's up? [BURTON] Ah, well, it's because we're facing an attack. It's because weare er, well, we are in danger, you know. Well, it's top secret. I'vegot a man here now from the Ministry of Defence, so look sharp, willyou? [VINNY] Are you staying, sir? [BURTON] Well, of course. They would have to drag me away from here,man. [VINNY] Then I'll stay too, Major. [BURTON] Thank you, Vinny, but you will all have to go, and that is anorder. Look sharp now. Off you go. --------------------------------------- (By the river) [BILLY] That noise she makes. It's almost like singing. [DELTA] It's partly a song, and partly a defence mechanism. [BILLY] Against the Bannermen. --------------------------------------- (Fern Dell) [DOCTOR] Did you come here with Billy often? [RAY] We called it Fern Dell. We used to play here as children. But Idon't see his bike anywhere. [DOCTOR] Could it be hidden? [RAY] Oh no, not the Vincent. It's just too big. [DOCTOR] Well, they're not here. Come on. --------------------------------------- (Outside Shangri La) [BURTON] Come on! Don't stand about, but come on. Go on now. Come on,come on. [MEL] Fortunately they didn't have much packing to do. How's the crystalcoming? [MURRAY] I'm trying to use mind power to make it grow faster, but Ihaven't had much luck. [BURTON] I'm doing this with grave misgivings, but I cannot risk mystaff for it. [MURRAY] Just like a captain, Mister Burton. [BURTON] Major, actually. I am still not sure what I saw in that policebox, but I cannot risk my staff for it. [MEL] You're doing the right thing. --------------------------------------- (Gavrok's spaceship) [GAVROK] She's somewhere in that quadrant. It's a pity we had to destroythe beacon when we killed that mercenary. We'll have to scan the wholearea until we find some trace of advanced technology emissions. But shewill soon be dead. --------------------------------------- (Welsh countryside) [WEISMULLER] You're wasting your time, Hawk. [HAWK] Well, it's better that stopping every stranger we find and askingthem if they've seen our lost satellite. [WEISMULLER] But there's no point in listening to that radio. It stoppedtransmitting. That's why you and I have to look for that satellite. [HAWK] Then I'll listen to Voice of America. Anything's better than youryammering. [DOCTOR] Excuse me! Have you seen a couple go by? A fellow on a bigblack bike and a lady with a green polka dot dress. [WEISMULLER] Mister, we haven't even seen a squirrel this morning. [DOCTOR] Are there any other places, Ray? [RAY] Well, there is just one last chance. [DOCTOR] Well, let's give it a try. --------------------------------------- (Outside Shangri La) [MEL] Well, I don't know much about crystalline structures, but thatlooks about cooked. [MURRAY] Yes, looks ready to me, Mel. Well, here goes. --------------------------------------- (Country lane) [RAY] Oh, this is the end of the road, Doctor. I don't know where elseto try. [DOCTOR] Ah, these tyre marks show a heavy motorcycle and sidecar. Comeon. --------------------------------------- (By the river) [DELTA] If I can get the hatchling safely to the Brood planet, then Ican take my case to judgement. They will then send an expeditionaryforce to get rid of Gavrok and his Bannermen. [BILLY] Well, I'll do whatever I can to help, Delta. [BILLY] That's Ray and the Doctor. They're sure in a hurry. [DELTA] The Bannermen! [RAY] Oh, thank heavens! [BILLY] Why is everyone in such a lather? [DOCTOR] Found you at last. [DELTA] Gavrok? [DOCTOR] Yes. We overheard a space mercenary give the position of thecamp. There's a price on your head. [BILLY] Yeah? Well, where is this guy? I reckon we've got a score tosettle. [RAY] He's been ionised. [DOCTOR] Murray's fixing the bus. He shouldn't be long. Then you canleave. So we've got to go back now. --------------------------------------- (Gavrok's spaceship) [GAVROK] Transmitter identified. Triangulate andset course. --------------------------------------- (Welsh countryside) [HAWK] Ain't no use, Weismuller. There's nothing out there. [WEISMULLER] Well, I don't want to be an old I told you so, but if youhad listened to me before [HAWK] Hey, Weismuller, do you think that's it? [WEISMULLER] Well, I don't know. I ain't never seen a satellite before. [WEISMULLER] I always thought that they'd be smaller, somehow. Look, Idon't know what's going on around here, but I think we'd better get outof here real fast. [GAVROK] Halt! [WEISMULLER] Oh, hi there. We weren't going anywhere. [GAVROK] Where is the Chimeron queen? [HAWK] Beats me, chief. [WEISMULLER] Hey, that's the property of Uncle Sam. [GAVROK] Where is he, your Uncle Sam? [HAWK] No, you don't understand. [WEISMULLER] Boy, you sure get sore real quick. [GAVROK] I will lead the main party. You two, guard them. Come. --------------------------------------- (Outside Shangri La) [MURRAY] Well, we're all gassed up and ready to go. [MEL] Then you must leave at once, Murray. [MURRAY] What about the Doctor and Delta? [MEL] We can follow you in the Tardis, wherever you go. [MURRAY] I know, but I feel bad about leaving you here. It's your lastchance to hitch a ride. [MEL] No, I made an arrangement. I'd better stick to it. Thanks anyway. [MURRAY] Well, it's time to get this show on the road. As they sayaround here, see you later, alligator. [MEL] In a while, crocodile. Bye! [MURRAY] Bye! [MEL] Bye-bye! [GAVROK] So, one of them escaped. [MEL] You killed all those innocent people! [GAVROK] Was the Chimeron queen amongst them? [MEL] Yes. Yes, she's dead. [GAVROK] Would you lie? [MEL] You saw what happened to the bus. No one could have survived that! [GAVROK] That's right. The Chimerons are finished! [DELTA] The Bannermen! [GAVROK] Attack! [MEL] No! [GAVROK] You lied! [BURTON] Stop! It would be extremely foolish of you to kill her. Keepher as a hostage. She's far more use to you alive. [GAVROK] Kill any other survivors. Tie these two up. They will not behostages, but bait. --------------------------------------- (Country lane) [DOCTOR] Stop, stop. Stop! Stop! He's not followingus. [RAY] Mel's still in there, Doctor, and Burton. [DOCTOR] My immediate objectives are to set them free and find Delta andthe baby somewhere safe. [BILLY] Can you hear something? [RAY] I can't hear anything. [DOCTOR] Shush. Those marks behind her ear are high frequency antennae.What are you picking up? [DELTA] It's not clear, but it's coming from down there. [BILLY] There's nothing there except old Goronwy's place. [DOCTOR] Does he keep bees? [BILLY] Yeah. How did you know that? [DELTA] It's his bees who are telling us to come. [DOCTOR] Quick. --------------------------------------- (Welsh countryside) [WEISMULLER] You think they would? [WEISMULLER] Nah, I don't think they would. --------------------------------------- (Outside Goronwy's cottage) [DOCTOR] I wonder if you could help us. [GORONWY] Of course, of course. I am Goronwy. [DOCTOR] Oh, and I'm the Doctor. [GORONWY] Oh, there you are. Have some of that. Lovely. [DOCTOR] Is it possible for these people to stay with you for a fewhours? [GORONWY] Yes, of course. Come inside and have a cup of tea. Come along.There we are. I take it she likes a bit of honey. [DOCTOR] I'm going to have to leave at once. I wonder if you could lendme a pillowcase and a broom handle. [GORONWY] Oh, I should think so. [DOCTOR] Splendid. Oh, Billy, may I borrow your bike? [BILLY] All right, Doctor, but try and be careful though, won't you? [DOCTOR] I'll treat it as if it were the Tardis. --------------------------------------- (Chalet area) [DOCTOR] How dare you! The white flag is the accepted signal for trucethroughout the civilised universe! You may think that might is right,but I can assure you, you won't get away with it. [GAVROK] Who will stop me? You, with your puny flag and your appeals tofair play and justice, huh? I spit on your justice. [DOCTOR] Your charm is only matched by your compassion. [GAVROK] Why should I not kill you right now? [DOCTOR] Because you're in enough trouble already, Gavrok. Release thoseprisoners and I will testify that you showed some mercy. [GAVROK] Testify? You'll never get me to trial. [DOCTOR] We agree to differ. But you should know that Delta has sworn astatement alleging invasion and genocide of the Chimerons. You will bebrought to account, Gavrok, and made to pay for your actions. [GAVROK] Give me Delta and I will give you your life. [DOCTOR] Life? What do you know about life, Gavrok? You deal in death.Lies, treachery and murder are your currency. You promise life, but inthe end it will be life which defeats you. [GAVROK] You have said enough. I have traversed time and space to findthe Chimeron queen. I will not be defeated. [DOCTOR] As you will. I came here under a white flag and I will leaveunder that same white flag, and woe betide any man who breaches itsintegrity. Now step aside! Release those prisoners. [DOCTOR] Gavrok, it's over. You're finished, and we're leaving. [DOCTOR] Actually, I think I may have gone a little too far. --------------------------------------- (Welsh countryside) [CALLON] Up. [ARREX] Up, up. [HAWK] What's happening now, Weismuller? [WEISMULLER] I don't know, but whatever it is, it's, it's better than,than just sitting around. Hey! Holy mackerel. [WEISMULLER] Boy. Listen, let's try sitting down again, eh? [HAWK] Okay. [WEISMULLER] All right. One, two, three. [RAY] I thought they'd never go. Can you move? [HAWK] Sure, if I leave my neck behind. [WEISMULLER] Oh, gee. It's no use, lady. They've got a special kind ofwrench. It's sort of like a dinky Allen key. [RAY] Is this dinky enough? [HAWK] It's looking good, sister. [RAY] I'll have you out in a minute, then follow me in your car. [WEISMULLER] Who is she? --------------------------------------- (Country lane) [MEL] We did it, Doctor! Free! [DOCTOR] Yes, there's more to this than we can fry, Mel. [DOCTOR] Duck! [MEL] Did they get you, Doctor? [DOCTOR] No, and I don't think they intended to. [MEL] You could have fooled me. --------------------------------------- (Goronwy's cottage) [GORONWY] This is the queen's hive. [BILLY] What's that white stuff? [GORONWY] Oh, royal jelly. It's a superfood created by the beesthemselves. It has the ability to change an ordinary worker bee'slarvae into a queen. [BILLY] And that's all there is to it, a better diet? [GORONWY] Never underestimate the powers of nature, Billy. Now, I wantto show you something. --------------------------------------- (Honey store) [GORONWY] Now, look at all those jars. Wales'finest honey, all created by my little friends. [BILLY] How long did it take them to make all this lot? [GORONWY] Oh, I don't know. We've been working together so long I'vecompletely lost track of all time. But I remember this one especiallywell. 1932, a hot summer and abundant cherry blossom. A classic honey. [DELTA] She's due to change. The singing time is near. [BILLY] What's the singing time? [DELTA] The next stage in her growth. This food will help boost herenergy for the change. [BILLY] Will she grow up to be a princess, too? [DELTA] Yes. Her hair and her eyes are already changing. I've fed herthis since she was born. [BILLY] Sometimes that sounds good, other times it's horrible. [DELTA] One frequency is an attack warning, and the other is musical.Soon she'll be able to control both. [GORONWY] Ah, Ray's back with those two lovely American gentlemen. [GORONWY] Hello! --------------------------------------- (Welsh countryside) [CALLON] Tracker dart in place, sir, but the prisoners have escaped. [GAVROK [OC]] Idiot. Pursue at once. I will follow the signal. --------------------------------------- (Country lane) [MEL] Let's go that way. [DOCTOR] Which way? That way? --------------------------------------- (Outside Shangri La) [GAVROK] Return to the fighter. [GAVROK] Sonic cone. --------------------------------------- (Field) [MEL] Doctor! [MEL] Why are we stopping, Doctor? [DOCTOR] In order to lengthen our odds, may I borrow a length of yourribbon? --------------------------------------- (Outside Goronwy's cottage) [HAWK] All I know is, they're not Americans. [RAY] But we've already explained who they are. [WEISMULLER] Yeah, they're like hit men from Mars. [HAWK] You too, Weismuller? Whoever they are, I plan to get even. [GORONWY] Listen. [RAY] You rescued them, Doctor! [DOCTOR] Ah, we're not in the clear yet. Er, Ray tells me you've gotsome honey stored, Goronwy. [GORONWY] Only about ten thousand jars, Doctor. [DOCTOR] Excellent! Billy, Ray, you come with me and Goronwy. I've gotone final thing to do. --------------------------------------- (Gavrok's spaceship) [GAVROK] Signal has stabilised. Prepare to blastoff. --------------------------------------- (Goronwy's cottage) [WEISMULLER] But it's our patriotic duty to call Washington, Hawk. [HAWK] Yeah, well, you go ahead, Weismuller. I ain't licked yet. [DOCTOR] She saved Delta's life with a warning cry. She's now into thesinging time. [BILLY] Do you think there are any more of them? [DOCTOR] Certainly. We'd better get back to the Tardis, so we'll getready to leave immediately. --------------------------------------- (Gavrok's spaceship) [GAVROK] Prepare to land. --------------------------------------- (Outside Goronwy's cottage) [DOCTOR] Now, I need something of Delta's. [DOCTOR] Thank you. [DOCTOR] Are you ready, my cariad? [RAY] (welsh) Doctor. [DOCTOR] Head 'em up! Roll 'em out! --------------------------------------- (Goat field) [GAVROK] What is this? [ARREX] Gavrok! I found their hideout, sir. --------------------------------------- (Outside Goronwy's cottage) [GAVROK] They're still there. Stand by to storm it. --------------------------------------- (Outside Shangri La) [DOCTOR] Stay back! The Tardis has been booby-trapped. [HAWK] Booby-trapped? Ain't nothing but a telephone booth. [DOCTOR] See up there, next to the light? There's a small beam weapon.It emits a cone of sensitivity all round the Tardis. Anything enteringthat cone detonates an explosion. [RAY] Can't you somehow get around it? [DOCTOR] I don't know. It's a very sophisticated system. [HAWK] I reckon this is all so much eyewash. I'm a-calling the chief. [DOCTOR] I did warn you. If you'd have stepped into that beam, you'dhave been atomised. --------------------------------------- (Outside Goronwy's cottage) [GAVROK] Open fire! --------------------------------------- (Outside Shangri La) [DOCTOR] Mister Burton? [BURTON] Yes? [DOCTOR] Take everyone back to the camp. [BURTON] Right. [DOCTOR] Let me stay here and try and work out how to diffuse thatbooby-trap, because if it explodes with its full force, it could take usall with it. --------------------------------------- (Outside Goronwy's cottage) [GAVROK] Forward! [GAVROK] Where are they? Scum! [BANNERMAN] Gavrok! --------------------------------------- (Garage) [DELTA] What's that you're hiding, Billy? [DELTA] You haven't been eating that, have you? [BILLY] I had to, Delta. I'm not a Chimeron, but if I'm to come withyou, then I have to become one. [DELTA] But it's never been tried on humans before. It might kill you. [BILLY] It'll be all right. I think. Look at my skin and my hair.They're already changing. [BURTON] Oh, I'm sorry to interrupt, but we're ready for you at theoffice now, Billy. [BILLY] Sure thing, Mister Burton. --------------------------------------- (Outside Shangri La) [RAY] Oh, what are you doing, Doctor? [DOCTOR] Well, I was marking out where the sonic cone meets the ground. [RAY] Why? [DOCTOR] Well, you see, the beam casts a shadow at the base of theTardis. Now, if we could tunnel under the cone and come up in thatshadow, then perhaps I could disarm it. [RAY] Er, Doctor? [DOCTOR] Yes, I know it's time consuming, but it's our only choice. [RAY] No, look. [DOCTOR] Apart from plan B. Run! --------------------------------------- (Main hall) [DOCTOR] They're here! Ray, everyone else stay here until its safe tocome out. Goronwy, have you got the beeswax? Thank you. Delta and yourdaughter, come with me. Barricade the door. --------------------------------------- (Office) [BURTON] Oh, I haven't used it in over forty years, but it'll still putthe wind up a Bannerman. [BILLY] Almost finished with these connections, Mister Burton. [BURTON] Through shot and shell, eh? We'll teach these blighters alesson. [DOCTOR] Oh! Excellent effort, Mister Burton, but the weapon we're usingwill be a little more sophisticated. Are you ready, Billy? [BILLY] Ready to rock and roll. [DOCTOR] Right, let's roll. --------------------------------------- (Chalet block roof) [BILLY] They're coming. [DOCTOR] All haste and no speed makes Jill a dull girl. Pass the sidecutters. --------------------------------------- (Play area) [GAVROK] Once inside, you will kill everyone except the young princess.I will deal with her personally. --------------------------------------- (Chalet block roof) [BILLY] Now? [DOCTOR] A moment's impatience would mean our certain annihilation. --------------------------------------- (Play area) [GAVROK] Snipers, forward! Kill them! On the roof! --------------------------------------- (Chalet block roof) [DOCTOR] Ah, they've spotted us, Billy. Run! --------------------------------------- (Play area) [GAVROK] Forward! --------------------------------------- (Office) [DOCTOR] Now! --------------------------------------- (Play area) [DOCTOR] Secure them with these. [WEISMULLER] Oh, thanks, Doctor. You know, when I was an Eagle scout,knots was my best thing. Okay, pal, here's my speciality. A runningnoose combined with a dog shank. How about that? --------------------------------------- (Office) [DOCTOR] It's over. Well done, Princess, that waswonderful. It's over, Mister Burton. [DOCTOR] Mister Burton, it's over. It's over. [BURTON] Oh! Aye. [DOCTOR] It's over, we won! [BURTON] Oh, lovely, lovely. [DOCTOR] Now, come and see your new spaceship, Delta, Princess. --------------------------------------- (Play area) [WEISMULLER] Boy, you're the sorriest bunch of Bannermen I've ever seen. [DELTA] Thank you for your help and courage. All of you. [MEL] Are Billy and the Doctor all right? [DELTA] Yes. Billy's just changing. --------------------------------------- (Billy's chalet) [DOCTOR] I know without a male the race will be wiped out, but I haven'tseen many examples of species crossing. There could be the mostdreadful mutation. [BILLY] It's our only chance, Doctor. [DOCTOR] I can't condone this foolishness, but then, love has never beenknown for its rationality. --------------------------------------- (Main hall) [GORONWY] And then, you see, the new young queencomes along and the whole colony swarms all around her, and off they goto find a new hive. A new hive and a new life. [HAWK] That's amazing. [GORONWY] Well, let's go and see what's happening. --------------------------------------- (Gavrok's spaceship) [WEISMULLER] Well, that should hold them all theway back to Mars, or wherever you're going. [DELTA] Considerably further than that. [WEISMULLER] Bye. [DELTA] Bye-bye. [BILLY] Everything ship-shape? [DELTA] Yes. [BILLY] I'll just stow all my gear. --------------------------------------- (Play area) [RAY] What are you thinking, Doctor? [DOCTOR] I was just speculating what this vehicle would be like withmore sophisticated braking and suspension systems. [RAY] Are you kidding? This is the best there is. [DELTA] I don't know how I can ever thank you for what you've done.You've saved my planet and my people. You will always be welcome. [BILLY] Goodbye, everyone. I'll always think of you here at Shangri La,Ray. [RAY] Goodbye, Billy. I won't forget you, either. [BILLY] Oh, I almost forgot. Will you look after the Vincent for me?Remember to feather the clutch. [RAY] Bye. [ALL] Bye! --------------------------------------- (Gavrok's spaceship) [SINGER] Love is the answer. Here's to the future. [BILLY] Let's make this baby fly. --------------------------------------- (Outside Shangri La) [MEL] Stop! [DOCTOR] No, don't worry. Gavrok absorbed so much energy that the devicehas lost all its power. [DOCTOR] Way hey. Ah, Mister Burton. Thank you for saving Mel's life. [BURTON] No, thank you, Doctor. I haven't had such a shindig since Iwent buffalo hunting in Africa. Oh, it's a ferocious brute, you know,the buffalo. [GORONWY] 1928, hibiscus blossom. [DOCTOR] Oh, what a sweet gesture. Oh, you're more than a collector,Goronwy. You're a man of taste. [BURTON] Oh, good heavens. The Skegness Glee Club, and I haven't got anystaff. [BURTON] Oh, I'll have to go. Goodbye, my dear. [MEL] Goodbye. [BURTON] Ah, welcome, campers. Now I am your camp leader while you areat Shangri La. My name is Burton. [DOCTOR] I believe this is your satellite, gentlemen. [WEISMULLER] We did it! We actually did it, Hawk. [HAWK] It's wonderful! It's wonderful! [WEISMULLER] Thanks, Doctor.

Doctor Who (23 Nov, 1987; Seventh Doctor) - Dragonfire (Refrigeration room) [BELAZS] Halt! [KRACAUER] Oh, you lucky, lucky people. You are the chosen ones, theelite, specially selected to join our force of mercenaries and createfear and terror wherever you go. [ZED] We were tricked. [KRACAUER] Kane has paid seventeen crowns for each of you, and heinsists on value for money. [ZED] Seventeen crowns? You couldn't even buy a dog for seventeencrowns. [KRACAUER] Precisely. I wouldn't have paid seventeen crowns for the lotof you, let alone each. [KRACAUER] Only frostburn. [ZED] Frostburn? [KRACAUER] Liquid nitrogen. Minus two hundred Celsius. Just be thankfulyour arm didn't go inside the vat, otherwise it would never have comeout again. Right, freeze them. [ZED] Wait! You mean we're going to be frozen? [KRACAUER] Until Kane needs your services, yes. What's the matter,getting cold feet? [KRACAUER] Kill him! [KRACAUER] Leave him. He's in the restricted zone. He's a dead man. --------------------------------------- (Restricted zone) [KANE] Pay no attention to the intruder. You may continue with yourwork. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [MEL] Where is it? [DOCTOR] Iceworld. A space trading colony on the dark side of the planetSvartos. Space travellers stop there for supplies. I've been picking upa faint tracking signal for some time. I think there's somethinginteresting going on there, Mel. --------------------------------------- (Shopping mall) [ANNOUNCER [OC]] Don't miss our special offer in the nurturing sparesdepartment. Photon refrigeration units for only twenty four ninetyfive. Thank you. [MEL] A freezer centre? How boring. [DOCTOR] Oh, trust not appearances, Mel. You never know what might belurking in the freezer chests. Think gothic. [DOCTOR] This way. --------------------------------------- (Restaurant) [DOCTOR] Ah, two of your best strawberry milkshakes, if you please. [ANDERSON] Certainly, sir. [GLITZ] There must be some mistake in the reckoning. [ACE] The mistake's in your wallet, not my arithmetic. [GLITZ] Do you take Asteroid Express? [DOCTOR] Glitz! [MEL] Glitz! [GLITZ] What? No, never heard of him. [MEL] It's us, Mel and the Doctor. You haven't forgotten us, have you,Glitz? [GLITZ] Shush. Keep your voice down. No, of course I haven't forgottenyou. Mel, and the Doc. Here, you're not the Doctor. [DOCTOR] I've regenerated. The difference is purely perceptual. [GLITZ] Here, you couldn't do us a favour, could you? You see, I'm in aspot of bother. [DOCTOR] What's this, Glitz? Not another one of your dodgy dealsbackfired? [GLITZ] No, no, nothing like that, straight up. Fact is, I'm on amission of highly philanthropic nature. [MEL] What's that? [GLITZ] It means it's beneficial to mankind. [MEL] We know what philanthropic means. What's the mission? [GLITZ] I have been entrusted to deliver certain secret documents whichnefarious unnamed parties would stop at nothing to grasp within theirown grubby digits. [DOCTOR] You mean [MEL] They'd kill you. [BELAZS] Sabalom Glitz, we've been looking for you. [MEL] Leave him alone. If you kill him, you kill us too. [DOCTOR] Er, steady on there, Mel. [BELAZS] What are you talking about? [MEL] Oh, he's told us everything, about how you tried to stop himdelivering secret documents [GLITZ] Shush. [BELAZS] Becoming quite a story-teller, aren't we, Glitz? I'm afraid youalso seem to be a victim of Mister Glitz's cavalier attitude towardfacts. [DOCTOR] Glitz. [BELAZS] I'm not interested in any secret documents which Mister Glitzmay or may not possess. I am more concerned with the hundred crowns hetook from my employer, Mister Kane, under false pretences. [GLITZ] That was highest quality merchandise. [BELAZS] A space freighter full of deep frozen fruit which turned out tobe rotten. [GLITZ] Oh, a bit on the ripe side, maybe. [BELAZS] They were putrefying, Glitz. [GLITZ] A little past their prime, perhaps. [BELAZS] And Mister Kane does not run Iceworld to subsidise crooks likeyourself. The hundred crowns, please. [DOCTOR] I think you'd better pay back the money, Glitz. [GLITZ] I can't. [DOCTOR] Why not? [GLITZ] Well, you see, there was this game of cards. I got well damaged. [BELAZS] What about the hundred and two crowns you sold your crew for? [MEL] Sold your crew? [GLITZ] Well, the mutinous rabble, they tried to take command of myspacecraft. I relieved myself of them for seventeen crowns a piece.Rather more than they were worth, I think. [BELAZS] The money. [GLITZ] Gone the way of all organic matter, I'm afraid. Down the tube. [BELAZS] In that case, we're confiscating your spacecraft. [GLITZ] The Nosferatu? You can't do that. [BELAZS] You have seventy two hours to find one hundred crowns or youlose your spacecraft. [GLITZ] But it's my livelihood. [GLITZ] Doctor, you've got to help me. [DOCTOR] You've only got yourself to blame. --------------------------------------- (Refrigeration room) [KRACAUER] We're going to have trouble with this lot when you defrostthem, Mister Kane. [KANE] Trouble? [KRACAUER] They didn't volunteer willingly. [KANE] None of my mercenary force will be willing when I bring them outof cryosleep. The process causes complete loss of memory. With nomemories they can have no past, no future, no will of their own, nopurpose except to obey me. Through them I shall be invincible. My powershall be absolute. --------------------------------------- (Restaurant) [ANDERSON] You will do as you're told. Less of yourlip or you're out on your ear. [ACE] Hope the dragon gets you in the night. [MEL] Dragon? What dragon? [ACE] It's just a legend. There's supposed to be a terrifying dragonliving in the ice passages underneath Iceworld. [MEL] I knew there must be a reason why you brought us here. You want tosee the dragon, don't you. [DOCTOR] Oh really, Mel, it's fascinating. Travellers claim to have seenit throughout the centuries but there's never been any proof. [MEL] Like the Lock Ness monster. [DOCTOR] Loch. [MEL] Och! [ACE] You're going to go looking for the dragon? [DOCTOR] Absolutely. [ACE] Oh, cool. Can I come too? [DOCTOR] Won't you get into trouble with your boss? [ACE] Oh, I'm fed up with being a waitress. Oh, go on, Professor, let mecome too. [DOCTOR] Well, I don't see why not. [ACE] Ace! And can we search for the treasure, too? [DOCTOR] Treasure? [ACE] Yeah. The dragon's supposed to be guarding a fabulous treasure. [GLITZ] (laughs) Treasure? What treasure? You don't want to go believingin myths and legends, Doctor. [MEL] Who asked you? We're not talking to you. [GLITZ] No, if you want my opinion, all this talk of treasure anddragons, it's all a load of old spacedust. [ACE] Well, if you're so convinced it's all rubbish, why have you beenburning holes in this treasure map for the last two days? --------------------------------------- (Control room) [BELAZS] He says he lost the money in a game ofcards. [KANE] I know he lost the money in a game of cards. The game was fixed.What about the map? [BELAZS] He's convinced it's genuine. [KANE] Excellent. He'll soon realise if he wants to see his spacecraftagain he has no alternative but to go after the treasure. And when hedoes, I shall be with him every step of the way. [BELAZS] There's just one thing. [KANE] Yes? [BELAZS] He appears to have two colleagues. [KANE] Colleagues? I thought he sold his entire crew. [BELAZS] They're not from his crew, sir. Space travellers. A man and agirl. Do you want them eliminated? [KANE] Not for the moment, I think. There's no reason for them tosuspect that the seal on the treasure map contains a tracking device. --------------------------------------- (Restaurant) [DOCTOR] Fascinating. Absolutely fascinating. [MEL] Looks like something from a jumble sale to me. [GLITZ] Oi, there's nothing snide about this document. [ACE] You don't want to believe nothing you get from him, Professor. Heprobably bought two hundred of them in a job lot. [GLITZ] Do you mind? This is the real McCoy, this is. It comes from anunimpeachable source. [ACE] What's that, then? [GLITZ] That means it is beyond reproach or question. [ACE] I know what unimpeachable means, bird bath, but what makes you socertain this map's pedigree is twenty four carat? [GLITZ] Because I acquired it from a man of character and distinction. [MEL] How? [GLITZ] I won it in er, a chess match. [MEL] You won it playing cards. Doctor, it's a waste of time. He won itin a card game. [GLITZ] An honest transaction. The man was desperate not to lose thismap, so I know it's something very, very tasty. [DOCTOR] It shows the lower levels of Iceworld. [ACE] No one goes down there any more. Too dangerous. [DOCTOR] The Ice Garden, the Singing Trees. [GLITZ] But like the girl says, Doctor, it's too dangerous. [DOCTOR] Where's your sense of adventure, Glitz? [GLITZ] What, do you want to go here, the Lake of Oblivion? [DOCTOR] Where? [GLITZ] Depth of Eternal Darkness? Dragonfire? I should stop at home, ifI were you. [ACE] Cor, this sounds brill. [DOCTOR] My sentiments precisely. What's your name, incidentally? [ACE] Everyone calls me Ace. [DOCTOR] Oh, how do you do. I'm the Doctor and this is my friend Mel. [ACE] And we're really going to go looking for dragons? [GLITZ] Too risky if you ask me. [DOCTOR] Nonsense, Glitz. Time for a quick adventure then back for tea. [ACE] Ace! [MEL] That's the spirit, Doctor. [GLITZ] Hang about! You can't go without me, that's my map. And I don'twant these girls coming along, either. [ACE] What? [GLITZ] It's too dangerous. [ACE] Professor! [GLITZ] And since it's my map [ACE] Right, you male chauvinist bilge bag, just you wait. [GLITZ] Oh, nice. [DOCTOR] And I was so looking forward to meeting a dragon. [MEL] Oh, it's all right, Doctor, you go on ahead. I'll wait here. Andif Glitz burns his fingers in the dragon's fire, then it serves himright. [GLITZ] It's just you and me, then, Doctor. --------------------------------------- (Control room) [BELAZS] They have left the upper levels now. [KANE] Only two of them, you say? [BELAZS] Glitz and the traveller called the Doctor. They're just settingoff for the lower levels. [KANE] Excellent. Continue to monitor the tracking device. Well? [BELAZS] It's Glitz's spacecraft. [KANE] What of it? [BELAZS] It's just that [KANE] Yes? [BELAZS] Well, if Glitz and the Doctor are as good as dead, I'd like thespacecraft. [KANE] Oh, you'd like the spacecraft, would you? When you first camehere you had nothing. You were willing enough to take my payment then.But now you want to leave. Perhaps you have memories of a home you canreturn to? Perhaps I should have put you into cryosleep along with allthe others and erased your memories. [KANE] Perhaps you need reminding. As long as you bear my mark, I ownyou. [MAN [OC]] Yes, sir? [KANE] Glitz's spacecraft. Have it destroyed. [MAN [OC]] Yes, sir. --------------------------------------- (Restaurant) [ANNOUNCER [OC]] Would the emergency services please report to thedocking bay to deal with an ice jam. Thank you. [MEL] It's all your fault. [ACE] How'd you work that out? [MEL] You were encouraging them both. Oh ace, oh brill. [WOMAN] You girl. Yes, you, girl. Come here. [ACE] What do you want? [WOMAN] This milkshake isn't adequately shaken. [ACE] That's how they come, missus. [WOMAN] It's got lumps in it. [MEL] It's supposed to have lumps in it. That's the ice cream. [WOMAN] But we don't want lumps in it. Shake it some more. [ACE] Shake it yourself. [WOMAN] I beg your pardon? [ACE] You heard. [WOMAN] I've never been so insulted [ACE] Bet you've never had a milk shake tipped over your head, neither. [ANDERSON] I'm awfully sorry, madam. That does it, you're fired. [ACE] I'm sorry. It won't happen again. [ANDERSON] Get out. I've had enough of you. [ACE] I promise it'll never happen again. [ANDERSON] Get out! You too, out. [MEL] Me? [ANDERSON] Both of you. Out! [MEL] All right, I'm going. [ANDERSON] You're troublemakers, hooligans. I do apologise for my staff.I do assure you, those milk shakes don't stain. --------------------------------------- (Restricted zone) [COMPUTER] Current ambient temperature minus ten Celsius. Targettemperature minus a hundred and ninety three Celsius. [COMPUTER] Cabinet temperature dropping. --------------------------------------- (Ace's room) [ANNOUNCER [OC]] If there's anyone in the emergency control room, wouldyou please answer the phone. Thank you. [ACE] Well, come on in, if you're going to. He really gets up mynostrils, that Glitz. [MEL] Oh, he's all right underneath. [ACE] No. He's a grade A hundred percent div, that's what he is.Underneath. [ACE] Look, leave those alone, will you? [MEL] I was only trying to make room to sit. [ACE] Well, just sit on top of them like everyone else does, can't you? [MEL] All right, all right. [ACE] I've been meaning to do the washing for a couple of weeks. [MEL] Looks more like a couple of months to me. [ACE] You're just like the teachers used to be at school. How do youexpect to pass your chemistry A level if you can't even store theequipment properly? [MEL] A level? You're from Earth? [ACE] Used to be. [MEL] Whereabouts on Earth? [ACE] Perivale. [MEL] Sounds nice. [ACE] You ever been there? [MEL] No. [ACE] I was doing this brill experiment to extract nitroglycerine fromgelignite, but I think something must have gone wrong. This time stormblows up from nowhere and whisks me up here. [MEL] When was this? [ACE] Does it matter? [MEL] Well, don't you ever want to go back? [ACE] Not particularly. [MEL] What about your mum and dad? [ACE] I haven't got no mum and dad. I've never had no mum and dad and Idon't want no mum and dad. It's just me, all right? [MEL] Sorry. What about your chemistry A level, then? [ACE] That's no good. I got suspended after I blew up the art room. [MEL] You blew up the art room? [ACE] It was only a small explosion. They couldn't understand howblowing up the art room was a creative act. [ANNOUNCER [OC]] If anyone sees any member of the emergency services,will you please ask them to pop along to the upper docking bay whenthey've a moment to spare. Thank you. [ACE] Isn't anyone going to do anything about that ice jam blocking thedocking bay? Here, take these. [MEL] Deodorant? [ACE] They're just old cans. They've got home made Nitro Nine in themnow. [MEL] Nitro Nine? [ACE] It's just like ordinary nitroglycerine, except it's got a bit morewallop. Careful you don't drop them. Come on. --------------------------------------- (Control room) [COMPUTER] Cabinet at minus a hundred and ninety three Celsius. [MAN [OC]] Yes, sir. [BELAZS] It's me, Belazs. (pronounced Belaj) Mister Kane has changed hismind about Glitz's spacecraft. It's not to be destroyed, do youunderstand? [MAN [OC]] Spacecraft is not to be destroyed. [BELAZS] That is correct. --------------------------------------- (Lower levels) [DOCTOR] Have you seen any Singing Trees or Ice Gardens, Glitz? [GLITZ] We're still too close to the upper levels, Doctor. Let's cast meeyes over the map. [DOCTOR] Well, since we've come from that direction, I think we shouldgo in that direction. Then again [DOCTOR] Perhaps that direction. Yes. And keep your eyes peeled for anySinging Trees or Ice Gardens, Glitz. --------------------------------------- (Docking bay) [KRACAUER] Come on, both sides, push! Harder! Push. [ACE] Gordon Bennett, what a bunch of Spocks. They'll never get it openat that rate. Here, let's have a couple of those. [MEL] You're not going to use those, are you? [ACE] If I were you lot, I'd go for your tea break now. [KRACAUER] Why? What's in those cans? [ACE] Nitro Nine. We've got eight seconds. Last one back's a gooey mess. [KRACAUER] Nitro? Everybody, get down! [ACE] Ace! [MEL] Ace! --------------------------------------- (Restricted zone) [COMPUTER] Target blood temperature of minus one hundred and ninetythree Celsius achieved. [KANE] What are you doing in the restricted zone? [BELAZS] I was looking for you. There's been an ice jam in the upperdocking bay and the emergency services haven't responded. [KANE] Must I do everything myself? Go there immediately and take chargeof the situation. [BELAZS] Of course. --------------------------------------- (Singing Trees) [DOCTOR] Singing Trees. [GLITZ] But these aren't trees. [DOCTOR] Use your imagination, Glitz. Willow trees, something like that. [GLITZ] Well, where's the singing coming from? [DOCTOR] Air current causes the crystal membranes to vibrate. [GLITZ] I bet this is worth a few grotzits. [DOCTOR] Yes, what's it do? [GLITZ] Do? [DOCTOR] Yes. Some sort of opto-electronic circuit. But why? I mean,what's it doing here? [GLITZ] You mean someone made all this? Dragons? [DOCTOR] Possibly. Come on, Glitz. Tempus fugit. I want to be back intime for tea. --------------------------------------- (Docking bay) [BELAZS] What is going on? You two are under arrest. Take them away. [MEL] What? [ACE] Hang about! Put me down. [ACE] Leave me alone! Get off! Stop it! Not fair! --------------------------------------- (Ice junction) [DOCTOR] Glitz? Glitz? Glitz? --------------------------------------- (Refrigeration room) [KANE] Quite a little expert with explosives, Ihear. [ACE] Yeah? So what if I am. [KANE] Excellent. I like women with fire in their bellies, don't I,Belazs? I might yet have a use for you. [ACE] Oh yeah? What makes you think I'd be interested? [KANE] Oh, I can be very persuasive. [ACE] I'm not frightened of you. [KANE] Good. Because I shall need people like you in my army ofmercenaries. [ACE] You what? [KANE] Think about it. Travelling through the twelve galaxies, thediamond sparkle of meteorite showers, the rainbow flashes of an ionstorm. Think about it. [MEL] Don't listen to him, Ace! [KANE] How old are you? [ACE] Six, eighteen. [KANE] Eighteen, eh? No home to call your own. The twelve galaxies areyour home. Come with me. I understand you. [MEL] It won't be like that, Ace! Don't believe him. [KANE] Join me. Take my golden sovereign. [KANE] Take the sovereign. [MEL] Don't do it, Ace! Please, don't do it! [KANE] You've heard altogether too much. Freeze her! [MEL] No, Ace! [KANE] Take my coin. Take the coin. [ACE] Right, freeze! I mean, don't freeze. Stand still and let Mel go. [KANE] You stupid girl. Think it's that easy to walk away from me? [ACE] Do you feel like arguing with a can of deodorant that registersnine on the Richter scale? Run! --------------------------------------- (Lower level) [MEL] Hang on, are you sure this is the right way? [ACE] Course I'm sure. Don't you trust me? [MEL] I don't know. What with the dragon and all that. [ACE] The dragon. It's just something to frighten little children with.It's like witches and goblins. There ain't no such thing. --------------------------------------- (Lower level) [ACE] Wicked! [MEL] Get down! [ACE] That's not a real dragon. That was a laser beam. [MEL] Look out! --------------------------------------- (Ice cliff) [GLITZ] It's no use, Doctor. I've located the Ice Garden but there's adistinct absence of dragon or treasure. [DOCTOR] Glitz, I sympathise with your disappointment, but I'm about toplummet to my death. [GLITZ] Oh, I suppose you want me to risk my neck and come and help you. [DOCTOR] Glitz! [GLITZ] All right, all right. Don't get your delicates in a twist. [DOCTOR] Glitz! --------------------------------------- (Refrigeration room) [KANE] Belazs, you astound me. Those two girlsshould have been searched when they were arrested. You seem to betaking advantage of my former feelings for you. Be warned, the past isan empty slate. I demand absolute loyalty now and forever, and I don'tforgive those who betray me. The girls must be stopped before theyreach Glitz and the Doctor. They must be eradicated. [KANE] What could be more appropriate than to despatch some of Glitz'sformer crew after the girls. He betrayed his crew, now they can havetheir revenge. Everyone should be allowed his moment of revenge. --------------------------------------- (Base of the Ice cliff) [DOCTOR] I say, thank you. [GLITZ] It's no use, Doctor. Even if we did find the treasure, it'd takeus longer than seventy two hours, and Belazs said if I didn't returnKane's money within seventy two hours they'd confiscate my spacecraft. [DOCTOR] Why don't you explain the problem to him? [GLITZ] Oh, he'd slice his own mother up to make a point. If he was amortician, the corpses would keep their eyes open. [DOCTOR] Ah. [GLITZ] In fact, if Kane knew we were after the --------------------------------------- (Refrigeration room) [GLITZ [OC]] Dragon's treasure, your life expectancy wouldn't be lookingtoo clever at the moment. He's a cold man, Doctor. Cut him open and youwon't find a heart, just a lump of ice. --------------------------------------- (Base of the Ice cliff) [DOCTOR] These types never have any sense of fairplay. [GLITZ] Exactly. Which is why I've come to the conclusion that play itby the rules is a mug's game. I have decided to hijack the Nosferatu.Which is where you come in, Doctor. [DOCTOR] Ah, hang on there a minute, Glitz. I'm engaged in a project ofscientific curiosity. I mean, that dragon, or whatever it may turn outto be, could be an undiscovered species. [GLITZ] Look, I'll do you a good deal. You help me get the Nosferatuback, and I'll give you the treasure map so's you and Mel can golooking for this dragon. I can't say fairer than that, can I? [DOCTOR] You have me there, Glitz. Without the map, I'll never find thecreature. [GLITZ] You're a man of insight and logic, Doctor. [DOCTOR] All right, then. Where's the Nosferatu berthed? --------------------------------------- (Refrigeration room) [GLITZ [OC]] In the lower docking bay. --------------------------------------- (Restricted zone) [KANE] A work of artistry, my friend. Incandescent artistry. I couldalmost believe Xana lives again. A unique beauty, yes, but more thanthat, a criminal genius also. Oh, what a waste. It should have been Iwho was killed escaping arrest, not you. --------------------------------------- (Top of the Ice cliff) [ACE] You're joking. I'm not going down there. [MEL] Look, there's the Doctor's brolly. We must be on the right track. [ACE] What did he have to come this way for? I could break my neck. [MEL] How are we going to get down there? [ACE] Hang on. --------------------------------------- (Lower docking bay) [GLITZ] There's only one guard. Do you think youcan occupy him while I slip on board? [DOCTOR] I'll do my best. [GLITZ] Go on, then. Away you go. [DOCTOR] Excuse me. What's your attitude towards the nature ofexistence? For example, do you hold any strong theological opinions? [GUARD] I think you'll find most educated people regard mythicalconvictions as fundamentally animistic. [DOCTOR] I see. That's a very interesting concept. [GUARD] Personally, I find most experiences border on the existential. [DOCTOR] Well, how do you reconcile that with the empirical criticalbelief that experience is at the root of all phenomena? [GUARD] I think you'll find that a concept can be philosophically valideven if theologically meaningless. [DOCTOR] So, what you're saying is that before Plato existed, someonehad to have the idea of Plato. [GUARD] Oh, you've no idea what a relief it is for me to have such astimulating philosophical discussion. There are so few intellectualsabout these days. Tell me, what do you think of the assertion that thesemiotic thickness of a performed text varies according to theredundancy of auxiliary performance codes? [DOCTOR] Yes. --------------------------------------- (Nosferatu) [GLITZ] Ah, my ship. Soon be light years away from this place. [BELAZS] I wouldn't touch those controls if I were you. --------------------------------------- (Base of the Ice cliff) [ACE] Wicked. And the bilge bag said this was toodangerous for girls. --------------------------------------- (Nosferatu) [BELAZS] This spacecraft is mine. [GLITZ] Hang on, the seventy two hours aren't up yet. You said if Icould get hold of the grotzits I could have the Nosferatu back. [BELAZS] Then I shall just have to make sure you don't manage to findthe money in time. I shall have to make very sure. [DOCTOR] Hello. Not interrupting anything, am I? [BELAZS] What are you doing here? [DOCTOR] That's a very difficult question. Why is everyone round here sopreoccupied with metaphysics? [GLITZ] I think she's going to kill us, Doctor. [DOCTOR] Ah. An existentialist. [BELAZS] Quiet! Only one of us can leave Iceworld aboard the Nosferatu,and one way or the other it's going to be me. [GLITZ] What about the boss, Mister Kane? Does he know of your littleenterprise? [BELAZS] Kane doesn't own me. [DOCTOR] Oh, I think he does. I think he bought you like he buyseverything in Iceworld. [BELAZS] What would you know about it? [DOCTOR] I think he bought you a long time ago. He paid seventeen crownsfor each of Glitz's crew. How much did he pay for you? Was it worth it?Were you worth it? [BELAZS] That's what I sold myself for, Kane's mark. I ought to cut myhand off for doing it. [BELAZS] Go on, then. Kill me! [GLITZ] Well, come on, Doctor. We've got the Nosferatu back. Let's getout of here. [DOCTOR] No, Glitz. You can't go on stealing everything you want, likethis Stradivarius and that Dutch master. Pay Kane back his debt, evenif it costs a thousand crowns, ten thousand crowns. Pay back the debt.And as for you, your debt to Kane, I don't think you'll be able to payit off. Ever. --------------------------------------- (Restricted zone) [KANE] The whole of eternity has held its breath for this moment. But noone must ever see your work. It exists, that is enough. No one can everlook upon your work and live. Gaze on it and die fulfilled. --------------------------------------- (Lower levels) [MEL] What's the matter? [ACE] Shush. Did you hear that? [MEL] Hear what? [ACE] I thought I heard something. [MEL] Well, what kind of something? [ACE] I don't know. Can you see anything? [MEL] Look out! [ACE] Run! [DOCTOR] I think we go straight on. (distant roar) Either that, or wedon't. [GLITZ] Well, now that we've found the Dragonfire, what's next on yourlist of tourist attractions, Doctor? [DOCTOR] Well, I'm not absolutely certain this one's over yet. [DOCTOR] It must be generating a spot temperature in excess of fifteenhundred Celsius. [MEL] Right, cover your ears. [ACE] Ace! Yeah, good job. Throw the other one. [ACE] Yeah, go for it, tiger. That was well brill. [MEL] We're not in the clear yet. [ACE] I don't believe it. Not after two cans of Nitro. Nothing cansurvive that. Come on, Mel, shift! [MEL] Okay! [ACE] Come on! Come on, wake up. [MEL] Oh, what happened? [ACE] It's all right, doughnut. He's gone. [GLITZ] Get back, Doctor. [DOCTOR] No, Glitz, don't. [GLITZ] Why? [DOCTOR] We've got no right to kill. [GLITZ] Why didn't it kill us? [DOCTOR] Perhaps we'd better ask it. --------------------------------------- (Refrigeration room) [KRACAUER] Can't sleep, Belazs? [BELAZS] How old do you think I am, Kracauer? [KRACAUER] Thirty three, thirty four? [BELAZS] And how old do you think I was when I first agreed to joinKane? Sixteen. That was a long time ago. Do you see this? [KRACAUER] Yes, the mark of the sovereign. [BELAZS] You'd have thought it would begin to disappear after twentyyears. [KRACAUER] We sold ourselves. We knew what we were doing. We had achoice. [BELAZS] I was sixteen. [KRACAUER] Even at sixteen we had a choice. [BELAZS] He'll kill us. He'll find someone younger and he'll kill usunless we kill him first. [KRACAUER] How do you propose to do that? [BELAZS] With heat. Even here in Iceworld it's too warm for him. I'veseen inside the restricted zone. That's where he keeps hisrefrigeration unit. He has to return there whenever his bodytemperature rises too high. --------------------------------------- (Lower levels) [ACE] Do you want some coffee? [MEL] Oh, thanks. [ACE] Do you know what I did for a job when they threw me out of school? [MEL] No. [ACE] I worked as a waitress in a fast food cafe. Day in, day out, sameboring routine. Some boring life. It was all wrong. It didn't feel likeme that was doing it at all. I felt like I'd fallen from another planetand landed in this strange girl's body, but it wasn't me at all. I wasmeant to be somewhere else. Each night I'd walk home and I'd look up atthe stars through the gaps in the clouds, and I tried to imagine whereI really came from. I dreamed that one day everything would come right.I'd be carried off back home, back to my real mum and dad. Then itactually happened and I ended up here. Ended up working as a waitressagain, only this time I couldn't dream about going nowhere else. Therewasn't nowhere else to go. --------------------------------------- (Restricted zone) [KANE] One day, when we return home, I shall erectcolossal statues in your honour.

[MEL] Of course. [ACE] It's my name. It's not really Ace. My real name's Dorothy. That'show I knew they couldn't be my real mum and dad. My real mum and dadwould never have given me a naff name like Dorothy. Come on. --------------------------------------- (Restricted zone) [COMPUTER] Minus one hundred and fifty.

[ACE] I suppose so. [DOCTOR] Ah, Mel, you've brought my umbrella. [MEL] Oh, Doctor! [ACE] Professor! Bilge bag. [GLITZ] What's that? [DOCTOR] Now, now, stop this squabbling. There's no place for animosityon a serious scientific undertaking. [MEL] Do you mean the dragon? [DOCTOR] Well, it's not so much a dragon as more of a semi-organicvertebrate with a highly developed cerebral cortex. [ACE] And it's got laser beams in its eyes. It tried to kill us. [MEL] Yes. [DOCTOR] Really? Well, I wonder what you did to annoy it? [ACE] It just came at us, Professor. No warning. [DOCTOR] Really. Well, let's see what this vertebrate with laser beamshas got to say for itself. Follow me [DOCTOR] Hello. Where might you have popped up from, then? [MEL] He's been sent by Kane, Doctor. [ACE] He's got masses of them frozen in his deep freeze. [DOCTOR] Cryogenesis, eh? [GLITZ] Hang about. I'd recognise that mutinous expression anywhere. [ACE] Friend of yours, is he? [GLITZ] Pudovkin, old son, you've no idea how pleased I am to see youagain. [DOCTOR] It's no good, Glitz. Ace says he's been cryogenically frozen. [GLITZ] What about the time we captured that space freighter loaded upwith all that natural fruit alcohol. We got well dehydrated that night,didn't we? [DOCTOR] It's no use. Deep cryogenics freezes the neural pathways. [GLITZ] Oh, come on, old son. A joke's a joke. It's me, Sabalom Glitz. [DOCTOR] It's completely impossible for him to recall any events priorto cryogenesis. [PUDOVKIN] I remember. [DOCTOR] Except in cases of overwhelming hatred or anger. [PUDOVKIN] I remember how you always had the best of our pickings. [GLITZ] I don't recall. [PUDOVKIN] I remember. I remember how you sold our entire crew to Kaneto be frozen as mercenaries. [GLITZ] Oh now, come on, old son, don't go jumping to conclusions. [ACE] I thought he was a friend of yours. [GLITZ] More of an acquaintance, actually. [DOCTOR] We don't mean you any harm. Do you understand? [MEL] It's friendly. [ACE] It wants us to go with it, Professor. [DOCTOR] Well, let's see what our new friend wants to show us, shall we? --------------------------------------- (Restricted zone) [COMPUTER] Warning, defrost threshold crossed. Cabinet temperaturerising. Plus one Celsius. Plus two Celsius. Plus three Celsius. [COMPUTER] Plus four Celsius. [KANE] What's happening? Can't breathe. Too warm. Kracauer, what isthis?

Minus ten Celsius. Minus twentyCelsius. --------------------------------------- (Singing Trees) [MEL] This is beautiful, Doctor. [ACE] Here, I can hear singing. Where's it coming from, Professor? [DOCTOR] I think he wants us to watch. [ACE] What's he doing, Professor. [DOCTOR] Ah, so that's what this is all about, a polydimensionalscanning imager. And our friend the creature's using itself as the energysource. [ARCHIVIST] Planetary archives, criminal history segment ninety threetwelve oh three. Two of the most vicious examples of the criminalmentality have been the leaders of the notorious Kane-Xana gang. Untilits demise, this gang carried out systematic violence and extortionunequalled in its brutality. In view of the sheer evil of his crimes,Kane is to be exiled from the planet Proamon and never allowed toreturn home. He will be banished to the barren planet of Svartos, whichhas a permanently frozen dark side on which he can survive. --------------------------------------- (Refrigeration room) [KANE] Ah, my dear Belazs. You know, I've been thinking. I've beenthinking of your request to leave. You've been with me a long time now.I've grown very fond of you, but I've been thinking it over carefullyand I've decided. You may leave me. [BELAZS] Leave? [KANE] Whenever you wish. Go in fortune and happiness. [KANE] You traitor. I've been planning my revenge for three thousandyears. How can you stand in my way now I am so close? --------------------------------------- (Singing Trees) [ARCHIVIST] Kane's partner, the woman Xana, killedherself during the final siege of the gang's headquarters to avoidbeing arrested and tried for her crimes. [DOCTOR] Fascinating. [MEL] Well, that explains about Kane, but where does the creature comefrom? [GLITZ] And what about the fabulous treasure? Is this it? [DOCTOR] Oh, no, no. We might be deep beneath Iceworld, but Kane couldfind his way here easily enough. No, the treasure's got to be somewhereelse, somewhere beyond Kane's reach. What does he fear most? [ACE] Heat. It'll kill him. [DOCTOR] Precisely. And what better way of protecting the real treasurethan to leave a fire-breathing dragon to guard it? What betterprotection than if the dragon is the treasure. [MEL] The creature, the treasure? [DOCTOR] Am I right? Are you the one that everyone's looking for,treasure? [GLITZ] It must be worth a fortune. [DOCTOR] No, look past the gold and the gemstone, Glitz. Look at thefire inside. A source of intense optical energy. --------------------------------------- (Restricted zone) [DOCTOR [OC]] Look at it through Kane's eyes. Seeit as an evil mind would see it. [KANE] At last. After three thousand years, the Dragonfire shall bemine. --------------------------------------- (Refrigeration room) [BAZIN] Duty guard. [KANE [OC]] We have an incident in the lower sectors, quadrant six. Anaggressive non-terrestrial. --------------------------------------- (Restricted zone) [KANE] It is marked with a radio tracking device. Iwant the creature eliminated. Bring me back its head. --------------------------------------- (Singing Trees) [GLITZ] I'm beginning to feel a rather cosy warmsensation in my money pouch. [ACE] Lay one finger on the dragon, bilge bag, and I'll rivet yourkneecaps together. [MEL] We've got to stop Kane from finding the creature. [ACE] Look! [DOCTOR] There's something not right. Can't put my finger. Proamon.Proamon. [MEL] Well, the hologram said that Proamon was Kane's home planet. [DOCTOR] Yes, but where have I heard of it before? I mean, where was it?Was it in the past or is it in the future? [GLITZ] Is any of this important, Doctor? [DOCTOR] Is a grain of sand important, Glitz? I must go back and consultmy star charts on the Tardis. [ACE] Your spacecraft? Brill! [MEL] But there isn't time, Doctor. [ACE] Doughnuts. [GLITZ] No need to perambulate back to Iceworld, Doctor. These passageshave their own star charts. The Ice Garden. I found it, remember? [DOCTOR] A primitive star chart. Missing constellations, orbitalcalculations, I imagine. Ah yes, I would like to see this. [ACE] Ice garden? [DOCTOR] Er, you stay here. I shan't be long. [GLITZ] The Doctor's right. You two stay here until the Doctor and I getback. [ACE] Bilge bag. [DOCTOR] Now, now, now, now, now. You stay here with them. They can lookafter you so you don't get into any trouble, Glitz. [GLITZ] Do what? Behave, Doctor. [DOCTOR] Don't argue! The three of you are safer together. --------------------------------------- (Refrigeration room) [MCLUHAN] How many ant hunts you been on? [BAZIN] Ant hunts? [MCLUHAN] A N T. Aggressive non-terrestrial. Have you ever seen one? [BAZIN] Not as such. [MCLUHAN] Ah, thought not. [BAZIN] But it's standard procedure. [MCLUHAN] And what do you think a standard non-terrestrial looks like? [BAZIN] Well [MCLUHAN] Try thinking of a scorpion, two metres tall, coming at you outof the shadows. Right, now do me a favour and leave your water pistolat home. If I'm relying on you to cover my back I want to know that youare carrying enough artillery to blow this ant clean across the spacelanes. --------------------------------------- (Singing Trees) [MEL] We could always pass the time by playing agame, I suppose. I spy, or something. --------------------------------------- (Refrigeration room) [MCLUHAN] Ready? [BAZIN] Two metres tall? [MCLUHAN] Minimum. Let's go. --------------------------------------- (Ice junction) [DOCTOR] They always mark north and south on these things, neverbackwards and forwards. [DOCTOR] Tell you what, you seem to know where you're going. Why don't Ijust trust to your sense of direction? --------------------------------------- (Refrigeration room) [KANE] The time is at hand. In a few hours, when the Dragonfire is mine,we shall be able to leave this wretched planet. I want you to spreadterror throughout the upper levels and drive everyone towards theNosferatu. I want no one left in Iceworld. --------------------------------------- (Lower levels) [MCLUHAN] Here, take this. It's a radio tracking device. Fix it on thefront of your gun where you can see it. If this ant so much astwitches, I want to know. --------------------------------------- (Ice Garden) [DOCTOR] With silver bells and cockle shells, and ice gardens all in a row.Extraordinary. This must be a solar system. There's a large red starwith small orbiting planets. Constellations, yes, but that one's toohigh up. They're all slightly out of position. This star chart's no useany more. How long have you been on this planet? Two thousand years?Longer? --------------------------------------- (Singing Trees) [ACE] This is naff. This is mega-naff. And what'smore, I'm out of Nitro. But I've got tons more back in my quarters. [MEL] Well, let's go back and get some. [GLITZ] No, thank you. We'll steer clear of the home made stuff, Ithink. There's six hundred kilos of commercial back on board theNosferatu. I'll go and fetch some of that. [ACE] The Nosferatu? [GLITZ] You two stay here. [ACE] Oh! [GLITZ] Just for once, sprog, do as I say, and stay here. Don't gowandering off. [MEL] Why do we always get left out? [GLITZ] I'll be back as soon as I can. [ACE] I spy with my little eye something beginning with I. [MEL] Ice. [ACE] Your go. --------------------------------------- (Restaurant) (Ice Garden) [DOCTOR] Oh, you want to be leaving. --------------------------------------- (Ice junction) [BAZIN] Got it. [MCLUHAN] Direction? [BAZIN] Straight ahead. No, it's to the right. [MCLUHAN] Distance? [BAZIN] Five metres. [BAZIN] Four. [BAZIN] Three. [MCLUHAN] Where is it? [BAZIN] Heading away. [MCLUHAN] Come on. --------------------------------------- (Restricted zone) [COMPUTER] Current ambient temperature minus ten Celsius. Targettemperature minus a hundred and ninety three Celsius. --------------------------------------- (Singing Trees) [ACE] I spy with my little eye something beginningwith M. [MEL] Doctor! [ACE] That doesn't begin with M. [DOCTOR] Where's Glitz? [ACE] Professor! [MEL] He's gone back to his spacecraft. [DOCTOR] We've got to hurry. We might be able to stop Kane and save thecreature. --------------------------------------- (Lower levels) [MCLUHAN] We're too close to the upper levels. [BAZIN] It's here. [MCLUHAN] Where? [BAZIN] I don't know. It's everywhere. It's coming towards us. [MCLUHAN] There's nothing there. [BAZIN] It's still approaching. It's all around us! [MCLUHAN] Where? [BAZIN] It's down there! [MCLUHAN] Stop, hold your fire. All right, come out. [BAZIN] It's a girl. How come the tracker's picking her up. [MCLUHAN] Come on! --------------------------------------- (Ice passage) [DOCTOR] Back to the Tardis. [MEL] But what about the creature? We've got to save it. [DOCTOR] The creature will always be under threat from Kane, unless wecan convince him that his star charts are hopelessly wrong. Then wemight be able to put an end to all this. [ACE] This isn't another wind up, is it? I mean, I really am going tosee your spacecraft, aren't I? --------------------------------------- (Shopping mall) [STELLAR] Bye. --------------------------------------- (Lower docking bay) [GLITZ] Here! [COMPUTER] Stand clear of the doors, please. [GLITZ] What's going on? [COMPUTER] Undocking sequence in progress. [GLITZ] Open up! [COMPUTER] Locking arms disengaged. [GLITZ] You can't go without me! [COMPUTER] Spacecraft ready to clear Iceworld. Safe journey and goodfortune, Nosferatu. [GLITZ] You can't leave me, not after all these years. Come back! [GLITZ] Kane. --------------------------------------- (Shopping mall) [DOCTOR] Where is everyone? Must be half dayclosing. I don't think we've got much time. [ACE] What are we doing here? I thought we were going to see yourspacecraft. [MEL] This is our spacecraft. [ACE] I'm not stupid. [MEL] Just come on. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [ACE [OC]] Squeeze up, then. [ACE] Hang about. [DOCTOR] That's it, Proamon. [ACE] Here, how'd you do that, then? [MEL] Well, it's bigger on the inside than the outside. [DOCTOR] There is no planet Proamon. [MEL] It's transcendentally dimensional. [ACE] Don't come all clever dick with me. What's going on? [MEL] It's difficult to explain. [DOCTOR] Quiet! There are things to be done. [MEL] Oh, Doctor! [DOCTOR] Come on. --------------------------------------- (Ice passage) [BAZIN] Leave me. I'll hide. Come back for me. [MCLUHAN] Come on. Just down here, come on. You can do it. That's it. --------------------------------------- (Catwalk) [ACE] Here, this is a shortcut to my quarters. [DOCTOR] Later, Ace. We're in a hurry. [ACE] No, it's all right. You go on ahead. It's just I don't feelproperly dressed without a couple of cans of Nitro. I'll catch you up. [DOCTOR] Come on, Mel. We're wasting valuable time. [MEL] If we miss you, we'll meet you in your quarters. --------------------------------------- (Shopping mall) [GLITZ] Sprog? Doctor? Mel? [WOMAN] Ah, you there. Have you seen a small child called Stellaranywhere? I appear to have mislaid her. Evidently not. Well, if you dofind her, would you be so good as to let me know? --------------------------------------- (Ice passage) [MCLUHAN] Fire! [MCLUHAN] Right, just the head, and its finished. [BAZIN] Can't we just leave the head? [MCLUHAN] Mister Kane wants the head, and I never leave a job half done. [BAZIN] The dragon's treasure. --------------------------------------- (Ace's room) [GLITZ] Ace? Ace? --------------------------------------- (Ice passage) [MEL] The creature, it's dead! They've killed it. [DOCTOR] Yes, and it had a final surprise for anyone who wanted to tryand interfere with it. A huge energy surge when its head wasdisconnected. [MEL] What shall we do with it now? [DOCTOR] We'll finish its job for it, and put an end to all this deathand destruction. --------------------------------------- (Ace's room) [MEL] Ace? [GLITZ] Hey, you nicked it. [MEL] Where's Ace? [GLITZ] I don't know. [DOCTOR] This is not good enough. [GLITZ] Well, she wasn't with me. [MEL] Come on, we've got to find her. [GLITZ] You lost her. --------------------------------------- (Control room) [KANE] Doctor? Glitz? --------------------------------------- (Refrigeration room) [KANE [OC]] I know you can hear me. I'd like topropose a transaction. My very final transaction before I leaveSvartos. --------------------------------------- (Control room) [KANE] The Dragonfire for the girl. Bring me theDragonfire and you can --------------------------------------- (Refrigeration room) [KANE [OC]] Have the girl. Special closing downsale, you might call it. --------------------------------------- (Control room) [KANE] But hurry, while stocks last. --------------------------------------- (Refrigeration room) [GLITZ] I think he means it, Doctor. [DOCTOR] No doubt. [MEL] But we can't give him the treasure. [DOCTOR] We've no choice. The creature's already dead. Ace is stillalive. --------------------------------------- (Restricted zone) [COMPUTER] Current ambient temperature minus ten Celsius. Targettemperature minus a hundred and ninety three Celsius. [STELLAR] Goodnight, teddy. --------------------------------------- (Control room) [KANE] At last, after three thousand years. Bring it here. [DOCTOR] Three thousand years, eh? Long enough for an entirecivilisation to have come and gone. [KANE] Are you some kind of idiot? [DOCTOR] You know, for someone who's had the patience to wait around forthree thousand years, you seem to be in rather a hurry suddenly. [GLITZ] What's all this three thousand years? [DOCTOR] Three thousand years since you were exiled here from Proamon,along with the creature. [KANE] Who are you? [DOCTOR] Just a traveller. [KANE] What do you know about Proamon? [MEL] We all know. The creature showed us on the hologram. [KANE] Oh, the archives. I should have destroyed them. [DOCTOR] No, no, no, you should keep them for souvenir value, along withthe Ice Garden. [GLITZ] Why was the creature doing time as well? [KANE] The biomechanoid was my jailor. Look around you. The controlslaying dead, waiting for an energy source. The Dragonfire is thatenergy source. [DOCTOR] And without it you are powerless. [KANE] They thought they could imprison me on this wretched planet byimplanting the power source inside the creature. They shall learn oftheir folly. [DOCTOR] And the living creature was created to keep you prisoner. [KANE] There were times when I ached for death. I considered journeyinground from the cold dark side of Svartos to the sun blistered surfaceon the other side, where I would quickly die. Now, with the Dragonfire,I have the power to return to Proamon and exact my revenge. You, girl.Bring me the Dragonfire. [MEL] No. I'm not going to lift a finger to help you. [ACE] Melanie? Don't listen to her. She doesn't mean it. Doughnut, givehim the treasure. I'm sixteen, I'm too young to be freeze dried. [GLITZ] Come on, Mel. This is no time to be fastidious. [MEL] Doctor? [DOCTOR] Look, let me explain. [KANE] You're wasting my time. The Dragonfire is mine now. You caneither give it to me alive or I shall take it from your dead bodies. [DOCTOR] The logic is inescapable. [KANE] Place it in the circuit. [MEL] Doctor, what's happening? [DOCTOR] It sounds like a starflight photon drive. [GLITZ] Starflight drive? It can't be. [GLITZ] This is a spacecraft. The whole colony's a spacecraft! [KANE] My hour of vengeance. [DOCTOR] Vengeance on whom, Kane? You're too late. [MEL] All your mercenaries are dead. [KANE] I can soon find more. [DOCTOR] But where will you find another home planet? [KANE] You're talking in riddles, Doctor. Proamon is my home planet. [DOCTOR] Was your home planet. Take a look at your navigationalequipment. It's fully operative now. [KANE] There must be something wrong. [DOCTOR] Sadly not. Your planet, your people, your entire race weredestroyed one thousand years after you were exiled. [KANE] No. No, it's not possible. [DOCTOR] Look at the sun of Proamon. When you left, it was a cold redgiant surrounded by freezing planets. [KANE] There's nothing there but a neutron star. [DOCTOR] Your sun turned supernova two thousand years ago, and all itsplanets were engulfed in the explosion. Your people were annihilated,your planet obliterated. You're too late, Kane, for your revenge. Youhave no home. Time has flowed by. [KANE] No. No! It shall not be! [COMPUTER] Danger, unfiltered sunlight. [GLITZ] What's he doing? It's scorching. --------------------------------------- (Iceworld) [GLITZ [OC]] Good afternoon, shoppers. This is thenew management speaking, Captain Glitz. It's time for a few changes. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [MEL] Well, I suppose it's time. [DOCTOR] Time? Funny old business, time. It delights in frustrating yourplans. All Kane's bitterness and hatred thwarted by a quirk of time. [MEL] No, I meant I suppose it's time I should be going. [DOCTOR] Oh. [MEL] Time that I left. [DOCTOR] Yes, well, you could be right. Time for you to go. [MEL] Before I go, I [DOCTOR] Funny old business, time. [MEL] Doctor. [DOCTOR] Well, if you must go. [MEL] Before I go I'd like to say [DOCTOR] There's no point, Mel. No point hanging around wasting time. [MEL] No, I'm not going until I've said my piece. I just want to saythat [DOCTOR] There's no time, Mel. [MEL] Oh, all right, you win. [DOCTOR] I do. I usually do. [MEL] I'm going now. [DOCTOR] That's right, yes, you're going. Been gone for ages. Alreadygone, still here, just arrived, haven't even met you yet. It alldepends on who you are and how you look at it. Strange business, time. [MEL] Goodbye, Doctor. [DOCTOR] I'm sorry, Mel. Think about me when you're living your life oneday after another, all in a neat pattern. Think about the homelesstraveller and his old police box, with his days like crazy paving. [MEL] Who said anything about home? I've got much more crazy things todo yet. [GLITZ] Well, we've officially renamed my new spacecraft the NosferatuTwo, just cracked a bottle of ye old carbonated fruit alcohol over thebows and next stop sunny Perivale, eh, sprog? [ACE] Suppose so. [MEL] Have you got room for another one? [GLITZ] Are you Perivale bound as well? [MEL] Well, I was thinking of going a bit further. [GLITZ] How much further? [MEL] How much further are you going? [GLITZ] Hang on half a millisecond. [DOCTOR] Excellent. Yes, Mel can keep you out of trouble, Glitz. [MEL] And that means no more dodgy deals. [GLITZ] Thanks a billion, Doctor. [DOCTOR] Glitz. [MEL] Ace doesn't have anywhere to go. [DOCTOR] Nonsense. An idyllic place, Perivale. It's got lush greenfields and a village blacksmith, and [MEL] Doctor, she comes from the twentieth century. [DOCTOR] Oh. [GLITZ] Come on, Mel. Extract your digit. [MEL] I'll send you a postcard. [DOCTOR] But I don't have an address. [MEL] Oh, I'll put it in a bottle and throw it into space. It'll reachyou, in time. [DOCTOR] Ace, where do you think you're going? [ACE] Perivale. [DOCTOR] Ah yes, but by which route? The direct route with Glitz, or thescenic route? Well? Do you fancy a quick trip round the twelve galaxiesand then back to Perivale in time for tea? [ACE] Ace! [DOCTOR] But there are three rules. One, I'm in charge. [ACE] Whatever you say, Professor. [DOCTOR] Two, I'm not the Professor, I'm the Doctor. [ACE] Whatever you want. [DOCTOR] And the third. Well, I'll think up the third by the time we getback to Perivale. --------------------------------------- (Shopping mall) [WOMAN] There you are. I've been looking all over for you. Now come on.

[RACHEL] Not likely. It's a repeated sequence. [DOCTOR] So, it's artificial in origin. [RACHEL] Yes. Excuse me? [DOCTOR] Yes? [RACHEL] Who are you? [DOCTOR] The Doctor. [RACHEL] I'm Rachel. Professor Rachel Jensen. [DOCTOR] How do you do? I'm sure I've heard of you. [GILMORE [OC]] Red Four, Red Four, come in please. [RACHEL] Red Four receiving. Listen, Group Captain, there's this man.What? On my way. --------------------------------------- (Pavement) [ACE] Twelve pennies to the shilling, eight shillings to the poundright? [MIKE] No, twenty shillings to the pound. That makes two hundred andforty pennies in a pound. Where are you from anyway? [ACE] Perivale. Why? Oh, this is a stupid system. Twelve pennies to theshilling, twenty shillings to the pound, right? [MIKE] Yeah. Are you from somewhere else? [ACE] No. So what's half a crown? [MIKE] Well that's easy [RACHEL [OC]] Sergeant! [ACE] Sergeant? --------------------------------------- (By the van) [RACHEL] The Group Captain says he's under attack.We have to get moving. [DOCTOR] Ace, get in here! [RACHEL] Matthews is hurt. [MIKE] Where are they? [RACHEL] At the secondary source, Totters Lane. --------------------------------------- (Junk yard) [MIKE] Military. [POLICEMAN] Fine, sir. [DOCTOR] What's the situation? [GILMORE] Who the devil are you? [DOCTOR] I'm the Doctor and this is Ace. You must be with the military. [GILMORE] Well, how do you know? [DOCTOR] I'm very perceptive. [GILMORE] Is he with you, Professor? [RACHEL] Yes. [GILMORE] Smith. [MIKE] Sir? [GILMORE] Take the girl and set up a position by Red Six. [MIKE] Yes, sir. Come on, Ace. [GILMORE] You'd better come and take a look. [DOCTOR] No evidence of tissue damage. Ah, massive internaldisplacement. [GILMORE] What? [DOCTOR] His insides were scrambled. Very nasty. [RACHEL] The effect of the blast? [DOCTOR] No. A projected energy weapon. [GILMORE] Projected what? [RACHEL] A death ray? [DOCTOR] Very succinct. I presume you've got reinforcements coming? [GILMORE] Any minute now. [GILMORE] This is preposterous. A death ray? It's unbelievable. [DOCTOR] What a predictable response. --------------------------------------- (By Red 6 Van) [MIKE] Miss Williams? Allison! [ALLISON] Sergeant, you're here at last. How's Matthews? [MIKE] He's dead. Is Blue One responding? [ALLISON] What? Blue One? Yes, they'll be here in a minute. Dead, areyou sure? --------------------------------------- (Junk yard) [DOCTOR] Whatever fired that weapon's trapped inthere. There's no way out. [GILMORE] How can you be sure? [DOCTOR] I've been here before. [SERGEANT] Right, everybody out! Come on, quickly. Move it, move it.Squad, attention! [GILMORE] Stand at ease. Right, now the situation is this. we have anarmed hostile pegged up in that lean-to shed. I want the squad to coverthe entrance. No firing unless I give the command. Is that understood? [SOLDIERS] Yes, sir. [GILMORE] Remember, he's armed and hostile, so keep under cover as muchas possible. Sergeant. [SERGEANT] Sir. [GILMORE] Detail some men to clear these civilians. [SERGEANT] Yes, sir. You two, come down with me and we'll sort this lotout. Now, let's have you all back as far as possible, please. Thankyou, madam. There's nothing to be seen here. [GILMORE] Smith. [MIKE] Yes, sir? [GILMORE] Take two men and get Matthews out of here. [MIKE] Yes, sir. You two, fall out and follow me. [DOCTOR] I don't think you realise what you're dealing with here. [GILMORE] Doctor, I assure you these men are hand picked. They can dealwith anything, provided they can see it. Right men, take up positions. [MIKE] Take his arms. Move him back to the truck. [DOCTOR] Down! [GILMORE] Covering fire now! [GILMORE] Cease firing! [GILMORE] Get down! [RACHEL] What was it? [DOCTOR] That was your death ray. [RACHEL] I know that, but how? To transmit focused energy at that level,it's incredible. It's [DOCTOR] Yes? [RACHEL] It's beyond the realm of current technology. [GILMORE] If you can save the science lecture for a less precipitousmoment. Now perhaps, Doctor, you could tell me what is going on? [DOCTOR] You must pull your men back now. It's their only chance. [GILMORE] It's preposterous. We can't disengage now. Whoever is inthere, my men can handle it. Sergeant! [DOCTOR] Listen to me, Brigadier. [GILMORE] Group Captain. Group Captain Gilmore! [DOCTOR] Nothing you possess will be effective against what's in there! [SERGEANT] Sir? [GILMORE] Three men, rifle-grenades, even spread left right and centre.Fire on my command. [SERGEANT] Yes, sir. [DOCTOR] Captain, you're not dealing with human beings here. [GILMORE] What am I dealing with? Little green men? [DOCTOR] No, Little green blobs in bonded-polycarbite armour. [SERGEANT] Grenades are ready, sir. [DOCTOR] Group Captain Gilmore. [GILMORE] Fire. [DOCTOR] Humans. [SERGEANT] Fire! [ACE] That's some serious hardware. Did you see that, Professor?Unsophisticated, but impressive. [GILMORE] Smith! [MIKE] Sir? [GILMORE] Get on the radio. Call up Blue Four and Six. Tell Four to pickup an ambulance on the way. [MIKE] Yes, sir. [DOCTOR] It doesn't matter how many men you get here. It isn't going tomake any difference. [GILMORE] Doctor, my men have just put three high-explosive grenadesinto a confined area. Nothing even remotely human could have survivedthat. [DOCTOR] That's the point group, Group Captain, it isn't even remotelyhuman. --------------------------------------- (Red 6 Van) [MIKE] Blue Four, Blue Four, this is Red Six. Come in, please. [BLUE FOUR [OC]] Red Six, receiving. [MIKE] Blue Four. Group Captain Gilmore requests that you pick up anambulance and proceed to Bravo Delta. --------------------------------------- (Junk yard) [GILMORE] Cease firing! Cease firing! Wait for a target! [GILMORE] Fire! [DOCTOR] Aim for the eyepiece! Ace, give me some of that Nitro Nine thatyou're not carrying. Quickly. [DOCTOR] And another. [ACE] It's my last can. [DOCTOR] I should hope so, too. Er, how long, the fuse? [ACE] Ten seconds. [DOCTOR] That's long enough. [GILMORE] When I tell you, head for the entrance. Take the girl withyou. [RACHEL] Then what? [GILMORE] I'll meet you back at HQ. Go now, Rachel! [DOCTOR] Oi, Dalek! It's me, the Doctor. What's the matter? Don't yourecognise your mortal enemy? [DOCTOR] Three, four, five, six. [GILMORE] Smith! [ACE] Doctor! [DOCTOR] Ace, you said ten seconds. [ACE] Nobody's perfect, Professor. Are you all right? [DOCTOR] Yes, of course I am. Can you drive? [ACE] Why? [DOCTOR] Good, I thought so. Get in there. [GILMORE] I want an emergency team here at the double. Put a guard onthat thing. Inform command HQ we will be returning there at once. And Iwant a weapons team at the Coal Hill School. [MIKE] Sir. [GILMORE] And, Smith? I want them armed with ATRs. [MIKE] Yes, sir. [RACHEL] It has an organic content. [ALLISON] Or an occupant. [GILMORE] What the devil is it? --------------------------------------- (Red 4 van) [DOCTOR] A Dalek. Only trouble is, it's the wrongDalek. [ACE] Would the right one be better or worse? [DOCTOR] Yes. Choke. [ACE] No, thanks. [MIKE] What do you think you're doing? [DOCTOR] Borrowing your van. [ACE] These Day-leks [DOCTOR] Daleks. [ACE] Oh, Daleks. Where are they from? [DOCTOR] From Skaro. At least, originally. They're the mutated remainsof a species called the Kaleds. Left here. [ACE] When were they left here? [DOCTOR] No. Turn left here. [ACE] Oh, right. [DOCTOR] No, left! You've missed the turning. [ACE] What turn? Where? [DOCTOR] Why don't you concentrate on where you're going? [ACE] Look, I'm doing the best I can. If you don't like it, you drive. [DOCTOR] The Kaleds were at war with the Thals. They had a dirty nuclearwar. The resulting mutations were then accelerated by their chiefscientist, Davros. What he created them he then placed them in a metalwar machine, and that's how the Daleks came about [ACE] So that metal thing had a creature inside controlling it? [DOCTOR] Exactly. And ever since the Daleks were created, they've triedto conquer and enslave as much as the universe as they can get theirgrubby protuberances on. [ACE] And now they want to conquer the Earth. [DOCTOR] Nothing so mundane. They conquer the Earth in the twenty secondcentury. No. They want the Hand of Omega. [ACE] What's that? [DOCTOR] One thing at a time, Ace. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [MIKE] Sir? [GILMORE] Yes, Sergeant, what is it? Who is this man? [MIKE] Sorry, sir. This is Mister Ratcliffe. He's brought some of hismen, I think they can be of some use to us. [GILMORE] You do, do you? Mister Ratcliffe. [RATCLIFFE] Please to meet you, sir. --------------------------------------- (Control room) [RACHEL] We must get that Dalek to a well-equipped laboratory. [ALLISON] And a half decent biologist.R [ACHEL] What do you do think we should do? [ALLISON] You're the Chief Scientific Advisor. It's your decision. [RACHEL] Before I make any suggestions I want to catch up with theDoctor. [ALLISON] Who is he, anyway? [RACHEL] Someone who knows a lot more about Daleks then we do. When Iget hold of him, I'm going to get some answers out of him or [ALLISON] Or what? [RACHEL] I'll set you onto him. [ALLISON] He certainly seems to have a detailed knowledgeof the Daleks, and given that they are not terrestrial, it is possiblethat he is [RACHEL] Not of this Earth? An alien? [ALLISON] I just wish he was more obvious. You know, had green skin orantennae sticking out of his head or something. --------------------------------------- (School corridor) [HEADMASTER] Ah. [DOCTOR] Good afternoon. [HEADMASTER] And you would be? [DOCTOR] The Doctor. And you? [HEADMASTER] I'm the Headmaster here. Doctor, eh? Well, you're a bitover-qualified for the position, but if you would like to leave yourparticulars and references. [DOCTOR] References? [HEADMASTER] You are here for the job of school caretaker? [DOCTOR] Oh, no. We're here for a completely different reason. [HEADMASTER] Oh. What can I do for you, then? [DOCTOR] Well, we would like to look round your school, if you don'tmind? [HEADMASTER] I'm afraid that's out of the question. [DOCTOR] We've got reason to believe there is a great evil at worksomewhere in this school. [HEADMASTER] You'll have to be a bit more specific, Doctor. [HEADMASTER] But I don't think it would do any harm if you were to havejust a quick look round. [DOCTOR] Thank you. [HEADMASTER] My pleasure. --------------------------------------- (Control room) [GILMORE] Smith. [MIKE] Sir? [GILMORE] Are the anti-tank rockets being issued? [MIKE] They're being taken direct to their position, sir. An additionalconsignment is going to the school. [GILMORE] Good. Any news of the Doctor's whereabouts? [MIKE] Red Four has been seen in the Coal Hill area, sir. [GILMORE] He must be heading back to the school. [RACHEL] What is happening about the Dalek? [MIKE] Don't worry. It's under guard. It's safe. --------------------------------------- (Junk yard) [RATCLIFFE] Right, get the tarpaulin over it. Come on, lads. Let's seeyou move. Right, let's go. --------------------------------------- (School science lab) [ACE] You were expecting these Daleks, weren't you? [DOCTOR] Yes, they're following me. [ACE] I wouldn't be so pleased if I had a bunch of Daleks on my case. [DOCTOR] You can always judge a man by the quality of his enemies. [DOCTOR] Come and look at this. [DOCTOR] What do you make of that? [ACE] It's a playground. [DOCTOR] The burn marks. See them? Well? [ACE] A landing pattern for some kind of spacecraft, isn't it? [DOCTOR] Very good. [ACE] But this is Earth, 1963. Well, someone would have noticed. I'dhave heard about it. [DOCTOR] Do you remember the Zygon gambit with the Lock Ness Monster? Orthe Yetis in the Underground? [ACE] The what? [DOCTOR] Your species has the most amazing capacity for self-deception,matched by only its ingenuity when trying to destroy itself . [ACE] If the Daleks are following you, what are they after? [DOCTOR] When I was here before, I left something behind. [ACE] You mean the Hand of Omega? [DOCTOR] Yes. --------------------------------------- (Outside the school science lab) [ACE] What is the Hand of Omega? [DOCTOR] Something very dangerous. --------------------------------------- (Ratcliffe's office anteroom) [COMPUTER [OC]] Report. --------------------------------------- (Ratcliffe's office) [RATCLIFFE] My men have recovered the machine. The Doctor isco-operating with the military. [COMPUTER] That is to be expected. I must be informed of his movements. [RATCLIFFE] Yes, yes. We have our contacts. I shall see that he isfollowed. That Dalek machine. [COMPUTER] Yes? [RATCLIFFE] I should like to know exactly what it is? [COMPUTER] A machine, a tool. Nothing more. --------------------------------------- (Cellar staircase) [ACE] What are we looking for? [DOCTOR] Shush. Whoever it was landed the spaceship in the playground. [ACE] And that would be? [DOCTOR] More Daleks. [ACE] Oh, great. I thought it might be something really nasty. [DOCTOR] Ah, the cellar. It could be down in there. [ACE] Why the cellar? [DOCTOR] Good place to put things, cellars. --------------------------------------- (School cellar) [ACE] I wish I had some Nitro Nine. [DOCTOR] So do I. [ACE] What are you expecting to find down here, anyway? [DOCTOR] The unknown. [ACE] Oh. Isn't that a bit dangerous? [DOCTOR] Probably. But then if I knew what was down here, I wouldn'thave to look. [ACE] This is some severe technology. [DOCTOR] Yes. Very elegant, very advanced. Flux circuitry elements. [ACE] What is it? [DOCTOR] It's a transmat. A matter transmitter. But transmitting fromwhere? Within about three hundred kilometres. [ACE] Professor? Professor, something's activating it. [DOCTOR] Very likely. It has an automatic activator. What? You're right.Something is beginning to come through. [ACE] It's another Dalek. [DOCTOR] Excellent. [ACE] Will this one be friendly? [DOCTOR] I sincerely doubt that. If I can just get the transmitter tode-phase at the critical point. [ACE] Doctor! [DOCTOR] Any moment now. Quick! Down! [ACE] The controls have gone dead. [DOCTOR] Yes, the de-phase must have caused an overload. [ACE] What did you do to it? [DOCTOR] Well, I persuaded one half of the Dalek to materialise whereits other half was materialising. The two halves tried to co-exist atthe same point. The resulting reaction destroyed it. Dangerous things,transmats. [ACE] So no more Daleks can be transported through here? [DOCTOR] Well, it'll slow them down a bit until the operator can repairthe systems. [ACE] The operator? [DOCTOR] Yes, the Daleks usually leave an operator on station in case ofany malfunctions. [ACE] And that would be another Dalek? [DOCTOR] Yes. [DALEK] Stay where you are! Do not move! [DOCTOR] The stairs! --------------------------------------- (School corridor) [ACE] Oh, sorry. [DOCTOR [OC]] Ace! Ace! Open the door! Ace! Open --------------------------------------- (Cellar staircase) [DALEK] You are the Doctor. You are the enemy of the Daleks! You will beexterminated! Exterminate! Exterminate! Exterminate! Exterminate! --------------------------------------- (School corridor) [DALEK [OC]] Exterminate! Exterminate! [DALEK [OC]] Exterminate! [ACE] Doctor! [DOCTOR] What's the matter with him? [ACE] Stomach ace. [DOCTOR] School dinners. Give me a hand. [ACE] Professor, he tried to lock you in. [DOCTOR] Ace! [HEADMASTER] I'm sorry. [DALEK] We must repair the transmat. [HEADMASTER] Yes. --------------------------------------- (Outside Coal Hill School) [DOCTOR] What are you doing here? Oh, never mind. Get this thing out ofhere. [AIRMAN] I was ordered to deliver the ATRs to this position, sir. [DOCTOR] ATRs. Anti-tank rockets. [AIRMAN] Yes, sir. [ACE] Will these things be any good against the Daleks? [DOCTOR] It's not the Daleks we're after, it's the transmat. --------------------------------------- (School cellar) [DALEK] You will remain here. --------------------------------------- (Outside Coal Hill School) [AIRMAN] You'll have to sign for them, sir. [AIRMAN] Ahem. [DOCTOR] Come on. [AIRMAN] Hello, love. --------------------------------------- (School corridor) [ACE] What about the Dalek? Won't he try and stopus? [DOCTOR] Quite possibly. Stay close behind. [ACE] Hey. It must have gone back down to the cellar. [DALEK] You will be exterminated. [DOCTOR] Ace, get down! [DALEK] Exterminate! [ACE] Ace. [DOCTOR] You destroyed it. [ACE] I aimed for the eye-piece. [MIKE] This way! Move it, move it! You fetch the Group Captain. Anymore? [DOCTOR] No. [MIKE] Did you do that? [ACE] It makes a lot of smoke, doesn't it. [MIKE] Yeah. [GILMORE] You've destroyed it. Good. [DOCTOR] It is not good. Nothing about this is good. I've made a graveerror of judgment. Oh, I'm going to wish I'd never started all this.Group Captain, I must ask you to evacuate the immediate area. [GILMORE] That's an absurd idea. [RACHEL] Why, Doctor? [DOCTOR] I've reason to believe a major Dalek Task Force could soon beoperating here. [ALLISON] Great. [GILMORE] And where will this Task Force arrive from? [DOCTOR] One certainly is in place hidden somewhere in this vicinity.The other probably from a mothership in geostationary orbit. [GILMORE] Be reasonable, Doctor. [DOCTOR] Do you doubt the non-terrestrial nature of the Daleks? I mean,examine this one. Or better still, ask your Scientific Advisor. [GILMORE] Well, Professor? [RACHEL] I'm afraid the Doctor's right. It is alien. [GILMORE] You're positive? [RACHEL] Yes. [GILMORE] Professor, a word. This Doctor, do you trust him? [RACHEL] Well, he knows what he's talking about, and considerably morethan he's telling us. I think we should go along with him for now. [GILMORE] And later? [RACHEL] We could ask him for an explanation. [GILMORE] We could do a lot more than ask. Very well, Doctor. I'll haveto get a decision about this evacuation from my superiors. [DOCTOR] Splendid. [GILMORE] I should know either way by tomorrow morning. I'll see you allthen. [(Gilmore leaves.) DOCTOR] I shouldn't touch it if I were you. It maynot be completely dormant yet. [ALLISON] That stench. [RACHEL] Now, Doctor, I have questions I would like answered. [DOCTOR] So have I. I'll return in the morning. [ACE] Doctor, where are you going? [DOCTOR] To bury the past. [ACE] I'm coming with you. [DOCTOR] It is not your past. You haven't been born yet. Would someonelook after Ace for me? [RACHEL] Yes, of course. [DOCTOR] I'll borrow this. [RACHEL] Sergeant, have you room for Ace at your house? [MIKE] Yeah, sure. Mum runs a boarding house. I'd like you to meet her. [RACHEL] Ace? [ACE] Yes? [RACHEL] Not been born yet. What did he mean by that? --------------------------------------- (Cafe) [JOHN] Can I help you? [DOCTOR] A mug of tea, please. [JOHN] Cold night tonight. [DOCTOR] Yes, it is. Bitter, very bitter. Where's Harry? [JOHN] Visiting his missus. She's in hospital. [DOCTOR] Of course. It'll be twins. [JOHN] Hmm? Your tea. Sugar? [DOCTOR] Ah. A decision. Would it make any difference? [JOHN] It would make your tea sweet. [DOCTOR] Yes, but beyond the confines of my tastebuds, would it make anydifference? [JOHN] Not really. [DOCTOR] But [JOHN] Yeah? [DOCTOR] What if I could control people's tastebuds? What if I decidedthat no one would take sugar? That'd make a difference to those whosell the sugar and those that cut the cane. [JOHN] My father, he was a cane cutter. [DOCTOR] Exactly. Now, if no one had used sugar, your father wouldn'thave been a cane cutter. [JOHN] If this sugar thing had never started, my great-grandfatherwouldn't have been kidnapped, chained up, and sold in Kingston in thefirst place. I'd be a African. [DOCTOR] See? Every great decision creates ripples, like a huge boulderdropped in a lake. The ripples merge, rebound off the banks inunforeseeable ways. The heavier the decision, the larger the waves, themore uncertain the consequences. [JOHN] Life's like that. Best thing is just to get on with it. [DOCTOR] Did you see that? [JOHN] See what? [DOCTOR] Nothing. What would you do if you had a decision, a bigdecision? [JOHN] How big? [DOCTOR] Saving the world. [JOHN] Really? [DOCTOR] Really. [JOHN] I wish you the best of luck. [DOCTOR] Let's hope I make the right decision. Things could getunpleasant round here. I'd take a holiday if I were you. [JOHN] Oh, sure. How long? [DOCTOR] Two or three days. After that, it won't matter one way or theother. Thanks for the tea. [JOHN] Any time. [JOHN] Nineteen ninety one? --------------------------------------- (Funeral parlour) [DOCTOR] Good morning. I believe this belongs to you. [MARTIN] Yes. [DOCTOR] The door was open so I thought I'd just pop in and collect mycasket. [MARTIN] Ah, well, I'm the governor has yet to arrive and I'm afraid Ican't just let you. Which er, casket would this be? [MARTIN] Oh, I see. Er, well, if you could just wait until the governorarrives, I'm sure [DOCTOR] Yes, that would be perfectly all right. [MARTIN] Oh, good. Splendid. Mister er [DOCTOR] Doctor. [MARTIN] Doctor? [DOCTOR] Yes. Now, if I might be alone with the [MARTIN] Oh, yes, yes, of course. I'll leave you alone with, er. [DOCTOR] Thank you. [MARTIN] I'll just be in the next room if you [DOCTOR] Yes. [DOCTOR] Hello. Open. --------------------------------------- (Funeral parlour office) [MARTIN] Hello, governor? Somebody's come to collect that big casket.Yes. Yes, the Doctor. Just one thing, governor. I thought you said hewas an old geezer with white hair. --------------------------------------- (Funeral parlour) [DOCTOR] Now, let's see what you can make of this. --------------------------------------- (Boarding house - front room) [ACE] Hello. [MIKE] Good morning. [ACE] Where are you off to? [MIKE] I have to check some things out at the Association. [ACE] Who's the Association? [MIKE] They're my friends. You can meet them later. --------------------------------------- (Funeral parlour) [DOCTOR] Come on, now. Give it up. [DOCTOR] Goodbye. Close. [DOCTOR] Follow me. --------------------------------------- (Funeral parlour office) [MARTIN] Yes, all right, governor. [DOCTOR] Thank you. [MARTIN] Oh, cheerio, Doctor. But Doctor, what about your --------------------------------------- (Ratcliffe's office) [RATCLIFFE] Once we possess this Hand of Omega,what then? [COMPUTER] We shall be on the brink of great power. [RATCLIFFE] And our agreement? [COMPUTER] You too shall share this power, if you have the stomach forit. [RATCLIFFE] What do you mean? [COMPUTER] There will be casualties. Many deaths. [RATCLIFFE] War is hell. --------------------------------------- (Cemetery) [DOCTOR] It's very good of you to do this at such short notice. [VICAR] Nonsense, my dear Doctor. The grave's been ready for a month.Mister Stevens, the gravedigger, was wondering what he should do. [DOCTOR] I had to leave suddenly. [VICAR] Forgive me for saying this, but it seems to me that your voicehas changed somewhat since we last met. [DOCTOR] Yes, it has changed. Several times. [VICAR] I must say your pallbearers are very quiet. Silent as ghosts,really. [DOCTOR] Yes. --------------------------------------- (Ratcliffe's office) [RATCLIFFE] Yes? Good. Stay with the Doctor. Watch him and call me back.Ah, ah, ah. Yours not to reason why, just to obey orders. Now just geton with it. [RATCLIFFE] My man has found it. [COMPUTER] Yes, but my enemies have found your man. --------------------------------------- (Outside the cemetery) [DALEK [OC]] He is an agent of the renegade Daleks.Apprehend and interrogate. [HEADMASTER] I obey. --------------------------------------- (Cemetery) [HEADMASTER] What is the location of the renegade Dalek base? [MIKE] What? Get off me or I'll break [HEADMASTER] What is the location of the renegade Dalek base? [MIKE] I don't know what you're talking about. [HEADMASTER] Renegade Daleks have defied the will of the Emperor Dalek.They must be located and destroyed. And you are an agent of therenegade Daleks. [MIKE] I work for Mister Ratcliffe. The Association. [MIKE] Who do you work for? [DALEK [OC]] Alert. Security is compromised. Terminateagent. [HEADMASTER] No! [MIKE] Who do you work for? [VICAR] It is over. [DOCTOR] No. It's only just beginning. --------------------------------------- (Boarding house - dining room) [ALLISON] Thank you. [ACE] The Professor said he'd be back by now. [RACHEL] What was he doing, anyway? [DOCTOR] Working, unlike some people. [DOCTOR] Have a nice sleep? [ACE] It was okay. You're late. [MIKE] I found him wandering the streets. [DOCTOR] I was not wandering the streets. I was merely contemplatingcertain local cartographic anomalies. [MUM] There's a message for you, Mike. [MIKE] Thanks. Ladies and gentlemen, the Group Captain is expecting us. [ACE] Great. Something to do at last. [MIKE] Ah. He specifically ordered that Ace remain here. [ACE] Professor? [DOCTOR] Ah, Ace, I have a present for you. [RACHEL] How did you do that? [DOCTOR] Higher technology, and no, I can't tell you how. [RACHEL] Why not? [DOCTOR] You're not ready for it. No one on this planet is. [MIKE] Ladies? Doctor? [DOCTOR] I'll meet you outside. [MIKE] Sorry, Ace. Work to be done. Back at six. Have dinner ready. [ACE] Toe rag. Professor, you can't leave me here. [DOCTOR] Ace, I'm trying to convince Group Captain Gilmore to keep hismen out of trouble, otherwise there'll be a lot of needless deaths. [ACE] You're up to something. [DOCTOR] Yes. [ACE] Then I have to come with you. [DOCTOR] No. [ACE] Who else is going to guard your back? [DOCTOR] Will you obey me this once? I'll explain everything when Ireturn. [ACE] Tell me now! [DOCTOR] I haven't got the time! [ACE] All right, I'll stay here if that's what you want. [DOCTOR] Trust me. [ACE] Doctor? [DOCTOR] Yes? [ACE] You'd better explain when you get back, or [DOCTOR] Or? [ACE] Things could get nasty. --------------------------------------- (Van) [MIKE] I wonder what he's up to? [RACHEL] Who knows? His motives are alien. [MIKE] Meaning? [RACHEL] Meaning I don't think he's human. [MIKE] And Ace? [RACHEL] She's not an alien. You're all right there. [MIKE] Good. Well, I mean, I wouldn't want her to be foreign, would I? [RACHEL] Ah, here comes the Doctor. --------------------------------------- (Ratcliffe's office) [COMPUTER] The enemy is about to start moving. [RATCLIFFE] Do you think that Group Captain Gilmore suspects us? [COMPUTER] (scoffs) Not the paltry military forces of your world. Thereal enemy. The Imperial Dalek faction, may their shells be blighted.Soon it will be war. Are you ready for war, Mister Ratcliffe? [RATCLIFFE] Yes. This country fought for the wrong cause in the lastwar. When I spoke out, they had me imprisoned. [COMPUTER] You will be on the right side in this war. --------------------------------------- (Control room) [DOCTOR] Group Captain, the evacuation? [GILMORE] I've been in direct contact with High Command and they'veagreed to stage a quiet withdrawal under the peace time nuclearaccident provisions. They felt that given the sensitive stage of thecurrent government [ALLISON] Just for a change. [GILMORE] They felt, Miss Williams, that the initial stages could becarried out under the aegis of the Counter-Intrusion Measures, UnitedKingdom. The D-notice office has of course been informed and a coverstory prepared. [RACHEL] What is it? [GILMORE] I have no idea. Not my department. Now, Doctor, since you holdmy career in your hands, I trust you can justify my faith. [DOCTOR] With respect, Group Captain, your career's magnificentlyirrelevant. Now, let's see. Any more transmission sites? [RACHEL] No, just at the school. [DOCTOR] Good. I want a direct line to Jodrell Bank. Let's see. 1963.The Fylingdale installations and the Royal Observatory. Order them tosearch these localities for any signs of high orbital activity. [DOCTOR] Now, I want the detector vans moved so they can cover this areahere and here. Order all air and ground forces to avoid engaging theenemy at all costs. We must act with extreme caution. [ALLISON] And if we don't? [DOCTOR] Goodbye civilisation as you know it. --------------------------------------- (Boarding house - Front room) [ACE] Mrs Smith? [MUM [OC]] Yes? [ACE] I'm just going out for a breath of fresh air. [MUM [OC]] All right, dear. [ANNOUNCER] This is BBC television. The time is a quarter past five andSaturday viewing continues with an adventure in the new science fictionseries, Doc --------------------------------------- (Control room) [DOCTOR] Twenty six by zero zero one. A big mothership of some kind,with maybe as many as four hundred Daleks on board. Well, at least weknow where it is. [RACHEL] Much good that does us. [GILMORE] It would be foolish of me, I suppose, to hope that thismothership was not nuclear capable? [DOCTOR] That ship has weapons capable of cracking open this planet likean egg. [ALLISON] We've got the parts you wanted, Doctor. Where do you wantthem? [DOCTOR] Good. Over here. [RACHEL] Allison, we've located the mothership. It's in a poweredgeostationary orbit [MIKE] Where? [RACHEL] Guess. [RACHEL] Right. [GILMORE] Is that their main base, Doctor? [DOCTOR] For one group, at least. I believe we're dealing with twoantagonistic Dalek factions. [RACHEL] Two? [GILMORE] And do they both come from outer space? [DOCTOR] From another planet in a distant future. We must try andcontain them, let them destroy each other. [GILMORE] Shouldn't we send for reinforcements? Armoured units? [DOCTOR] Have you been listening to me, Group Captain? That spaceship upthere has surveillance equipment capable of spotting a sparrow fall atfifteen thousand kilometres. Any sign of a military build-up and theymay simply decide to sterilise the area. [GILMORE] And we have no defence. [DOCTOR] Frightening, isn't it, to find there are others better versedin death than human beings. --------------------------------------- (School corridor) [ACE] Hello? Anyone at home? --------------------------------------- (School science lab) [DALEK [OC]] Attack squad in position. [DALEK 2 [OC]] Lower area clear. [DALEK [OC]] Proceed. Exterminate any aliens. [DALEKS [OC]] We obey. --------------------------------------- (Control room) [RACHEL] What does it do? [DOCTOR] Well, at best it will interfere with the Dalek's controlsystems. I rigged something like it on Spiridon. [RACHEL] And the worst? [DOCTOR] It'll do absolutely nothing. [ALLISON] Doctor? Red Nine reports an increase in modulated signalling. [DOCTOR] Where? [ALLISON] Just a minute. [DOCTOR] Mike, phone up Ace and tell her someone will come and collecther. [MIKE] Right. [ALLISON] The signal emanates from Coal Hill School. Multiple sources inclose proximity. [DOCTOR] Multiple? They've got the transmat working again. [RACHEL] Transmat? What does that mean? [DOCTOR] More Daleks. [GILMORE] Doctor, there's no reply from my men at the school. [DOCTOR] Get a vehicle ready. Load it up with plastic explosives andintegral detonators. [GILMORE] Right. [RACHEL] Why explosives? [DOCTOR] Well, that thing merely disorients and weakens them. What doyou expect me to do then, talk to them sternly? [MIKE] Doctor, Mum says that Ace left ages ago. --------------------------------------- (School science lab) [DALEK] Small human female sighted on level three. [ACE] Who are you calling small? [DALEK] Under attack. Under attack. [DALEK] Vision impaired. [DALEK] Reinforcements requested. --------------------------------------- (School corridor) [DALEK] Human female is now leaving building. --------------------------------------- (School) [DALEK 2] Stay where you are. Do not move. [DALEK] Exterminate. Exterminate. [DALEK 3] Exterminate. [DALEKS] Exterminate. Exterminate. Exterminate. --------------------------------------- (School) [DALEKS] Exterminate. Exterminate. [MIKE] You, move in. [MIKE] Fall back. Fall back! [DOCTOR] It works. It works! [MIKE] Fall back! Three, two, one, down! [DOCTOR] There were living beings in there. [MIKE] Not any more. [GILMORE] Come on, Sergeant. We'll search upstairs. [MIKE] Yes, sir. Doctor, may I? [DOCTOR] Yes, Sergeant. [GILMORE] Right. [MIKE] Stay sharp. Follow me. [RACHEL] Doctor? [DOCTOR] Hmm? [RACHEL] This one's still active. [DOCTOR] Oh? Let's see, Professor. [DOCTOR] Allison, it's dead. Thank you. [RACHEL] What was that? [DOCTOR] They've mutated again. Here, come and have a look. Compare thatto the destroyed Dalek at Totter's Lane. Note the difference. [RACHEL] The other Dalek was underdeveloped, with vestigial limbs andsensory organs almost amoeboid. Allison, look. This is altogetherdifferent. It has functional appendages and some kind of mechanicalprosthesis grafted into its very body. I think I'm going to be sick. [DOCTOR] Sergeant Smith must have found some more Daleks. [ACE] Don't anyone give me a hand. [ALLISON] Ace, you're hurt. [ACE] I had an argument with a window. [DOCTOR] You two go down and check the cellar, but don't touch anything.I'll look after Ace. [DOCTOR] When I say stay put, I mean stay put, not take on an entireDalek assault squad single-handed. What were you doing here, anyway? [ACE] I came to get my tape deck. [DOCTOR] Where is it? [ACE] It's in little bits. [DOCTOR] Good. [ACE] Good? Ow. What do you mean, good. Where am I going to get anotherone? [DOCTOR] That tape deck was a dangerous anachronism. If someone hadfound it and discovered the principles of its function, the wholemicrochip revolution would take place now, twenty years too early, withincalculable damage to the time line. [ACE] So? [DOCTOR] So? Ace, the Daleks have a mothership up there capable oferadicating this planet from space, but even they, ruthless though theyare, would think twice before making such a radical alteration to thetime line. [DOCTOR] There, you ought to be able to get up and walk about now. [ACE] Cheers, Professor. --------------------------------------- (Mothership) [DALEK] Bridge reporting. Mothership will maintainEarth geostationary orbit. All systems fully operational. Attack squadDelta prepare to enter transmat. --------------------------------------- (School cellar) [ALLISON] The subject obviously is placed on thatdais. Then what? [RACHEL] The Doctor called it a transmat. What's that imply to you? [ALLISON] Matter transmission? But that's impossible. [RACHEL] Impossible. You know, after this is over I'm going to retireand raise begonias. [DOCTOR] Lovely flowers, begonias. [ALLISON] Doctor, how exactly does this thing work? [RACHEL] Don't bother. [DOCTOR] It's a link for the Daleks, allowing them to beam death squadsonto Earth without anybody knowing. And I don't want them here justyet. [DOCTOR] Weapons. Always useless in the end. Oh, you look hungry. Howabout lunch? --------------------------------------- (Cemetery) (Cafe) [ACE] Professor, what are you doing? [DOCTOR] Concentrating. [ACE] Harry, I wanted some toast. [HARRY] Coming, coming. [ACE] May I? [MIKE] Hello, Ace. [ACE] Hi. [MIKE] You've met Paul, John. [ACE] Hello. --------------------------------------- (Cemetery) [RATCLIFFE] Argh! --------------------------------------- (Mothership) [DALEK] Power source detected. Alert! Power sourcedetected. Full alert! [DALEK 2] It is the Hand of Omega. [DALEK 3] Inform the Emperor Dalek. [DALEK] I obey. --------------------------------------- (Cafe) [GILMORE] I just feel we should be doing something. [RACHEL] Frankly, I wouldn't advise it, Group Captain. We're in way overour heads. [GILMORE] You were hired as a Chief Scientific Advisor. One tends toexpect advise from one's advisors. [RACHEL] For one thing, Group Captain, I was not hired, I was drafted.And for another, do you think I am enjoying having some space vagrantcome along and tell me that the painstaking research I've devoted mylife to has been superceded by a bunch of tin plated pepperpots? [GILMORE] Steady on. [RACHEL] Steady on? You drag me down from Cambridge, you quote the PeaceTime Emergency Powers Act at me, and then you expect me to advise onsomething outside the realm of human experience. Bluntly, GroupCaptain, we're reliant on the Doctor because only the Doctor knows whatis going on. --------------------------------------- (Cemetery) [RATCLIFFE] Get on with it. I want that coffin back at the warehouse. [MAN] Guv. [RATCLIFFE] What are you staring at? --------------------------------------- (Mothership) [DALEK] Emperor on the bridge. [EMPEROR] Report. [DALEK] The transmat is no longer operational. [DALEK 2] We have established the position of the Omega device. [EMPEROR] Prepare the assault shuttle. [DALEK 2] Renegade Dalek agents are in the area. [EMPEROR] They will surrender the Hand of Omega. --------------------------------------- (Cemetery) [RATCLIFFE] Haven't you got a home to go to? Comeon, lads, put your backs into it. We haven't got all day. --------------------------------------- (Cafe) [DOCTOR] Group Captain, we need to establish aforward base at the school. Can it be done? [GILMORE] Of course. [DOCTOR] Thank you for your cooperation. [GILMORE] Only a fool argues with his doctor. Sergeant! [MIKE] Sir? [GILMORE] Get Embery. Set up a command unit. Forward command on thethird floor, defensive positions on the ground floor and the roof. Geta move on. [MIKE] Yes, sir. All right, men, fall out. Follow me back to the school. [GILMORE] Professor Jensen, Miss Williams, follow me. [ALLISON] Jawohl. Coming, Professor Jensen? [RACHEL] Of course, Miss Williams. [ALLISON] I wish Bernard was here. [RACHEL] The British Rocket Group's got its own problems. [ACE] Harry, toast. [HARRY] Coming, coming. [ACE] What's so important about the school? [DOCTOR] Well, now that I've disabled the transmat, absolutely nothing.As long as the renegade Daleks have got the Hand of Omega, then theImperial Daleks' attention will be focused on that. [ACE] So there are two sets of Daleks. [DOCTOR] Yes. --------------------------------------- (Ratcliffe's office) [RATCLIFFE] We have the Hand of Omega. It's out in the yard. [COMPUTER] Excellent. [RATCLIFFE] Good. I'll tell my man. After all, he found it. --------------------------------------- (School corridor) [ALLISON] Mike? There's a phone call for you in theHeadmaster's office. [MIKE] Thanks. --------------------------------------- (School yard) [ACE] Professor? [DOCTOR] Yes? [ACE] If this place is so out of the way of the action, what are wedoing here? [DOCTOR] Keeping an eye on Group Captain Chunky Gilmore. Although whyhis men call him Chunky, I've no idea. --------------------------------------- (School corridor) [ACE] They're really going for it. [DOCTOR] That's the general idea. I want to keep the military fullyoccupied and out of the way. [ACE] Out of the way of what? Oh, Professor, you promised me, remember? --------------------------------------- (Staircase) [DOCTOR] A long time ago, on my home planet ofGallifrey, there lived a stellar engineer called Omega. [ACE] Stellar? As in stars? You mean he engineered stars? [DOCTOR] Ace! [ACE] Sorry. Go on. [DOCTOR] It was Omega who created the supernova that was the initialpower source for Gallifreyan time travel experiments. He left behindhim the basis on which Rassilon founded Time Lord society, and he leftbehind the Hand of Omega. [ACE] His hand? What good was that? [DOCTOR] No, no, not his hand literally. No, no, it's called thatbecause Time Lords have an infinite capacity for pretension. [ACE] I've noticed that. [DOCTOR] The Hand of Omega is a mythical name for Omega's remote stellarmanipulator, a device used to customise stars with. And didn't we havetrouble with the prototype. [ACE] We? [DOCTOR] They. [ACE] And the Daleks want it so they can recreate the time travelexperiments? But you said that both Dalek factions can already travelin time. [DOCTOR] Oh yes, Daleks have got time corridor technology, but it's verycrude and nasty. What they want is the power that Time Lords have, andthey'll get that with the Hand of Omega, or so they think. [ACE] And you have to try and stop them. [DOCTOR] No, Ace, I want them to have it. [ACE] Eh? [DOCTOR] My problem is trying to stop Group Captain Gilmore and his mengetting diced in the crossfire. [ACE] So, all this is [DOCTOR] A massive deception, yes. [ACE] Oh, well devious. So the Daleks grab the Hand of Omega and go, andno one gets hurt. Brilliant. [DOCTOR] Just one thing. [ACE] What? [DOCTOR] I didn't expect two Dalek factions, and now I've got to makesure the wrong ones don't get their grubby little protuberances on it. [ACE] Shouldn't we take Mike? [DOCTOR] No. Dalek hunting is a terminal pastime. [ACE] So what are we doing? [DOCTOR] Dalek hunting. --------------------------------------- (Ratcliffe's yard) [BLACK] Advance. [BLACK] Stay where you are. --------------------------------------- (Ratcliffe's office) [RATCLIFFE] It's been a long and difficult strugglefor myself and my men. Now we can afford to relax and reap the rewards.As I said, people need a firm hand. It's in their nature. They feelmore comfortable with a strong leader, someone who knows when to belenient and when to be harsh. [RATCLIFFE] What have you done to those men? They were on our side! [COMPUTER] You are a slave, Ratcliffe. [GIRL] You were born to serve the Daleks. [BLACK] Patrol the area until the time controller is operational. [GREYS] We obey. [BLACK] You will obey the Daleks or you will be exterminated. Activatethe time controller. [GIRL] Time controller activated. Calculating coordinates. [BLACK] You will come with us. --------------------------------------- (Outside Ratcliffe's yard) [DOCTOR] This way. [DOCTOR] The main staging area must be in that warehouse. [ACE] Are we going to have a look? [DOCTOR] Might as well. --------------------------------------- (School corridor) [MIKE] I've checked the whole building, sir.There's no sign of Ace or the Doctor. [GILMORE] Right, deploy lookouts, take a squad and sweep the area. Iwant the Doctor found and brought back here. [MIKE] Yes, sir. Okay, men, follow me. [GILMORE] You two, follow me. --------------------------------------- (Ratcliffe's yard) [DOCTOR] Daleks. [DOCTOR] Be quiet. [ACE] Is that it? [DOCTOR] The Hand of Omega's inside this box. The most powerful andsophisticated remote stellar control manipulator device everconstructed. [ACE] Are you sure you want the Daleks to have it? [DOCTOR] Absolutely. You know what you've got to do, don't you? [DOCTOR] Yes, of course you do. [ACE] Is it alive? [DOCTOR] In a manner of speaking, yes. --------------------------------------- (Ratcliffe's office) [ACE] What is it? [DOCTOR] Some kind of biomechanoid control system, for a small human. Ofcourse, it's a battle computer! [ACE] But why would a human need to sit in it? [DOCTOR] The Dalek's major drawback is their dependency on rationalityand logic. The solution? Get a human, preferably young, imaginative,plug the child into the system, and their ingenuity and creativity areslaved to the battle computer. [ACE] That's well boggling. [DOCTOR] It's obscene. Ah, now for the time controller. [ACE] Hey, is this it? [ACE] What is it? [DOCTOR] It's a device the renegade Daleks use to travel through time.They've come a long way. [ACE] Have you busted it? [DOCTOR] No, no, no, I don't want to lumber Earth with a load ofdesperate Daleks. I've merely put it out of phase. They'll be able tofix it, but it'll slow them down. [RATCLIFFE [OC]] What are you going to do to me? [BLACK [OC]] Remain silent. [GIRL] The time controller has been disabled! [BLACK] Instruct all Daleks to seek and destroy the intruder. [BLACK] Exterminate the Doctor! Crush all resistance! [GIRL] I obey. --------------------------------------- (Street) [ACE] Why didn't you just run off with the Hand of Omega and give it tothe other Daleks? [DOCTOR] With a bit of luck, the Imperial Daleks will wipe out therenegade faction. Besides, I can't just roll up and give it to them.They get suspicious. [ACE] Suspicious of what? You still haven't told me w [DOCTOR] Shush! --------------------------------------- (Outside Coal Hill School) [MIKE] All right, follow me and keep your eyespeeled for Ace and the Doctor. Move. --------------------------------------- (Outside the Tardis) [ACE] Hey, Doctor! [DOCTOR] Yes? [ACE] Couldn't we just get in [DOCTOR] No, no, no, we've got work to do. Anyway, here come themilitary. [MIKE] Where've you been? [DOCTOR] Dalek hunting. Now it's the other way around. Is Gilmore backat the school? [MIKE] Yes. [DOCTOR] Good. We'll go back and smooth his troubled brow. [MIKE] Ace, when we're finished with this lot, do you fancy going to thepictures? [ACE] You're confident. Why, what's on? [MIKE] I don't know. [ACE] Doesn't matter. I've probably seen it on television anyway. [MIKE] Huh? Daleks! Move it! --------------------------------------- (School corridor) [GILMORE] Well, Doctor, I trust your little jaunt was successful. [DOCTOR] Moderately so. I'm afraid we've brought back some Daleks withus. [MIKE] I don't get it. They've got the Hand of Omega. Why don't theyjust leave? [DOCTOR] How did you know that, Sergeant? [MIKE] Ace told me. [ACE] You toe rag. You lying dirty scumbag. [DOCTOR] It can wait. [ACE] You're finished. He's a grass, a dirty stinking grass! He'sselling us out to the Daleks! [GILMORE] What's going on, Sergeant? What are they talking about? [MIKE] I didn't know it was the Daleks, sir. --------------------------------------- (Ratcliffe's office) [COMPUTER] Imperial Dalek shuttlecraft entering atmosphere. [BLACK] We must defend the Hand of Omega. Withdraw all units. Return tobase immediately. [COMPUTER] I obey. --------------------------------------- (School yard) [COMPUTER [OC]] Battle computer to all units.Withdraw immediately. [DALEK] Return to base. --------------------------------------- (School science lab) [ACE] They're retreating, all of them. Wimps! [RACHEL] Doctor, we've had a report of a radar contact. [DOCTOR] On a re-entry curve from low orbit? [RACHEL] Yes. [DOCTOR] That'll be the Imperial Dalek shuttlecraft. [GILMORE] What? They're not landing a spaceship here. [DOCTOR] Here? No. We're much too far from the main action. [RACHEL] You're sure? [ACE] Cor! [DOCTOR] Ace, get away from the window! Down! [DOCTOR] I think I might have miscalculated. --------------------------------------- (School playground) [DALEK] Advance. We must capture the Hand of Omega from renegade Dalekfaction. Proceed to area two five zero six immediately. --------------------------------------- (School science lab) [GILMORE] Right, out of here. Everybody downstairs. [GILMORE] Is that the mothership? [DOCTOR] No, that's a shuttle. The mothership's much larger. Are youwilling to cooperate with me now? [GILMORE] Do I have a choice? [DOCTOR] Well, you could go down there and make a gloriously futilegesture, yes. [GILMORE] What do we do? [DOCTOR] A little bit of piracy. --------------------------------------- (School corridor) [MIKE] Ace. [ACE] Go away. [MIKE] Ace, I didn't know it was the Daleks. I was just doing MisterRatcliffe a favour. [ACE] Do me a favour and drown yourself. [MIKE] I thought it was the right thing. Mister Ratcliffe had such greatplans. Ace, I never really wanted to hurt anybody. It's just you haveto protect your own, keep the outsiders out just that your own peoplecan have a fair chance. [ACE] I said shut up! You've betrayed the Doctor, you betrayed me. Itrusted you. I even liked you, and all you [GILMORE] Sergeant Smith. [MIKE] Sir. [GILMORE] Attention! I'm placing you under close arrest under suspicionof offences contrary to the Official Secrets Act. [MIKE] Yes, sir. --------------------------------------- (Street) [DALEK] Scout seven reporting area two five zeronine clear. [DALEK] Retreat! Squad Delta under attack from renegade Daleks. Retreat! --------------------------------------- (Mothership) [DALEK] Mothership bridge to shuttle forcecontroller. Receiving your signal. [EMPEROR] We must recover the Hand of Omega without delay. [DALEK] Shuttle force has encountered heavy resistance from renegadeDaleks. [EMPEROR] Order Special Weapons Dalek into position. --------------------------------------- (School science lab) [ALLISON] Why are we doing this? [DOCTOR] Elementary piracy, my dear Allison. Dalek shuttles have massiveground defences and an unguarded service hatch on top. Now once I'mdown there, I'll attempt to open that hatch. Ace, you come after, thenGilmore, followed by Allison and Rachel. Any questions? No? Good. --------------------------------------- (Imperial shuttlecraft) [DALEK] Emergency! Emergency! Unable to disengage from control position. [DALEK] Humans on the bridge. [DOCTOR] I'm not human. [DALEK] You are the Doctor. [DOCTOR] Yes. [DALEK] You are the enemy of the Daleks. [DOCTOR] Correct. [DALEK] You must be exterminat [DOCTOR] Goodbye. [DOCTOR] You can come down now! --------------------------------------- (School cellar) [CORPORAL] Tea? [MIKE] Yeah. [CORPORAL] Come on, Sarge. --------------------------------------- (Imperial shuttlecraft) [ACE] What did you do to it? [DOCTOR] I shorted it out. Daleks are such boring conversationalists. [RACHEL] It's very functional. [DOCTOR] Yes, they're not known for their aesthetic sense. Let's seewhat they were up to. [DOCTOR] Ah, the planet Skaro. So, the Daleks are returning to theirancestral seat. I think we've seen enough. Time to leave. Er, get offthe grill. [DOCTOR] We'll go back through the playground. [ALLISON] What about the massive ground defences? [DOCTOR] Oh, I've turned those off. Come on, jump. --------------------------------------- (Ratcliffe's yard) [DALEK] Exterminate. [DALEK 2] Exterminate. [MIKE] No, no, don't. Look, I have a message for Ratcliffe. Understand?A message for Mister Ratcliffe. [DALEK] You are my prisoner. You will obey all instructions or you willbe exterminated. [MIKE] You said it, mate. --------------------------------------- (School yard) [DOCTOR] I rigged the communications relay to the shuttle controlsystem. We can monitor the Daleks on the transmat in the cellar. [ACE] You can't do that. You mashed up the transmat, remember? [DOCTOR] I can do anything I like! --------------------------------------- (Ratcliffe's office) [BLACK] Kneel! [GIRL] Repairs on time controller almost complete. [BLACK] Good. [RATCLIFFE] (sotto) Without that thing, they're stuck here. Someone inpossession of that would have something to bargain with. [MIKE] For what, our lives? [RATCLIFFE] Nothing so mundane. If we get that, we can demand anything. [MIKE] You never give up, do you. --------------------------------------- (School corridor) [ALLISON] What happened? [CORPORAL] Sergeant Smith. [RACHEL] Is he all right? [ALLISON] I've no idea, I'm a physicist. [DOCTOR] He'll be fine. Rachel and Allison, I need your help. [RACHEL] Sorry? [ALLISON] He said he needed our help. [RACHEL] That's what I thought he said. Get your hands off his scalp andcome on. [GILMORE] You all right, Corporal? [CORPORAL] Sir. [GILMORE] Come with me. We'll search the building. --------------------------------------- (Ratcliffe's yard) [GIRL] Time controller repaired and ready. [GIRL] Departure imminent. [BLACK] Destroy human captives. [MIKE] No! [RATCLIFFE] No! [RATCLIFFE] Now! Run! [BLACK] Recover the time controller. --------------------------------------- (School cellar) [RACHEL] When he said he needed our help, I hadhoped it meant more in a technical area. [ALLISON] It was a vain hope. [DOCTOR] Ah, you brought it then. Put it down there. [RACHEL] Now, Doctor, will you please answer one question? [DOCTOR] Yes? [RACHEL] Why are two Dalek factions fighting each other. [DOCTOR] Ace. [ACE] It's simple, isn't it. Renegade Daleks are blobs. [DOCTOR] Blobs? [ACE] Imperial Daleks are bionic blobs with bits added. You can tellthat Daleks are into racial purity. So, one lot of Daleks reckon theother lot of blobs are too different. They're mutants. Not pure intheir blobbiness. [DOCTOR] Result? [ACE] They hate each other's chromosomes. War to the death. [DOCTOR] Well, er, Ace, let's go and see which blobs are winning. [ALLISON] Doctor, how do you do that? [DOCTOR] Do what? [ALLISON] How do you just rewire a piece of alien machinery? [DOCTOR] It's easy when you have nine hundred years experience. --------------------------------------- (Mothership) [DALEK] Force leader has recovered the Hand ofOmega. [EMPEROR] Excellent. Order all forces to make immediate withdrawal. --------------------------------------- (Outside Ratcliffe's yard) [ACE] It's Mike. [DOCTOR] He's got the time controller. Typical human. You can alwayscount on them to mess things up. Get after him. Stay with him. Seewhere he's going. [ACE] Right. [DOCTOR] Oh, Ace. [ACE] What? [DOCTOR] No heroics. I've got enough problems already. [ACE] Trust me. --------------------------------------- (Mothership) [EMPEROR] Prepare to place the Hand of Omega intothe control circuit. [DALEK] I obey. --------------------------------------- (School cellar) [ALLISON] What are you going to do after all thisis over? [RACHEL] Retire to Cambridge and write my memoirs. [GILMORE [OC]] Professor! [RACHEL] Subject to security vetting, of course. [GILMORE] The shuttle seems to be leaving. [ALLISON] Good riddance to bad rubbish. --------------------------------------- (Street) [ACE] Oh, wicked. --------------------------------------- (School cellar) [GILMORE] Well, Doctor, are we out of the woods? [DOCTOR] Provided everything goes according to my plan. [RACHEL] Plan? [ALLISON] I, er, I don't suppose you could let us know what your planis? [DOCTOR] It's a surprise. [RACHEL] Good. I love surprises. --------------------------------------- (Mothership) [DALEK] Prepare for shuttle docking. [EMPEROR] Lock the Hand of Omega into the control circuit. [DALEK] Omega device is now locked in and running. --------------------------------------- (School cellar) [DOCTOR] How do I look? Don't answer. Do you mind?You're in my shot. [DOCTOR] Hello, hello, hello? Dalek mothership, come inplease. Come in, please. [DOCTOR] Ah, there you are. This is the Doctor, President Elect of theHigh Council of Time Lords, Keeper of the legacy of Rassilon, Defenderof the Laws of Time, Protector of Gallifrey. I call upon you tosurrender the Hand of Omega and return to your customary time andplace. --------------------------------------- (Mothership) [EMPEROR] Ah, Doctor. You have changed again. Yourappearance is as inconstant as your intelligence. You have confoundedme for the last time! [DOCTOR [on screen]] Davros. I should have known. I see you've discardedthe last vestige of your human form. Still no improvement. [DAVROS] Save your insults for the weak-minded, Doctor. [DOCTOR [on screen]] Will you return the Hand of Omega or not? [DAVROS] Are you threatening me? If so, it is most unwise. [DOCTOR [on screen]] Every time our paths have crossed, I have defeatedyou. [DAVROS] You flatter yourself, Doctor. In the end, youare merely another Time Lord. --------------------------------------- (School cellar) [DOCTOR] Oh, Davros, I am far more thanjust another Time Lord. --------------------------------------- (Boarding house - front room) [MIKE] Hello, Ace. [ACE] Would you really shoot me? [MIKE] If I had to. [ACE] You might have to. --------------------------------------- (Mothership) [DOCTOR [on screen]] Davros, the Hand of Omega isnot to be trifled with. [DAVROS] I think I am quite capable of handling the technology. [DOCTOR [on screen]] I sincerely doubt that. [DAVROS] Does it worry you, Doctor, that with it I will transformSkaro's sun into a source of unimaginable power? And with that power atmy disposal, the Daleks shall sweep away Gallifrey and its impotentquorum of Time Lords! --------------------------------------- (School cellar) [DAVROS [on screen]] The Daleks shall become Lordsof Time! We shall become all [DOCTOR] Powerful. Crush the lesser races. Conquer the galaxy.Unimaginable power. Unlimited rice pudding, et cetera, et cetera. [DAVROS [on screen]] Do not anger me, Doctor. I can destroy you and thismiserable, insignificant planet. [DOCTOR] Oh, wonderful. What power, what brilliance. You can wipe outthe odd civilisation, enslave the occasional culture, but it stillwon't detract from the basic fundamental truth of your own impotence! [RACHEL] Careful, Doctor. [DOCTOR] (covers the microphone) Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. --------------------------------------- (Mothership) [DAVROS] I will teach you the folly of your words,Doctor. I will destroy you and demonstrate the power of the Daleks! [DOCTOR [on screen]] Davros, I beg of you, don't use the Hand. [DAVROS] Ah, Doctor, now you begin to fear. [DOCTOR [on screen]] You're making a grave mistake. [DAVROS] Activate the Omega device! [DALEK] Omega device activated. [DALEK 2] Plotting course to home planet Skaro. [DAVROS] Now the Daleks shall become the Lords of Time! [DALEK 2] Entering Skaro time zone. First stage expansion. Primaryneutrino release. [DALEK] Core collapse instigated. [DALEK 2] Danger! Instability! Reaction out of control. [DAVROS] No, this cannot be correct! [DALEK] Home planet Skaro about to vapourise. [DAVROS] You have tricked me! [DOCTOR [on screen]] No, Davros. You tricked yourself. [DALEK 2] Omega device returning. [DALEK] Impact minus twenty five. [DOCTOR [on screen]] Do you think I would let you have control of theHand of Omega? [DAVROS] Do not do this, I beg of you. [DOCTOR [on screen]] Nothing can stop it now. [DAVROS] Have pity on me. [DOCTOR [on screen]] I have pity for you. [DALEK] Fifteen. [DOCTOR [on screen]] Goodbye, Davros. It hasn't been pleasant. [DALEK] Emperor abandoning bridge. [DALEK 2] Eight, seven [DALEK] Emperor activating escape pod. [DALEK 2] Four, three [DALEK] Escape pod leaving mothership. [DALEK 2] Two, one. --------------------------------------- (School cellar) [RACHEL] What happened? [DOCTOR] I programmed the Hand of Omega to fly into Skaro's sun and turnit supernova. [GILMORE] Super what? [ALLISON] He blew it up. [DOCTOR] The resulting explosion destroyed Skaro, and the feedbackdestroyed the mothership. The Hand of Omega is now returning toGallifrey. --------------------------------------- (Boarding house - front room) [MIKE] You stay there. [ACE] It might be the Doctor. Put the gun down, Mike. It's too late forthat. Come on, Mike, who are you going to shoot with it, anyway? [MIKE] Just stay there. --------------------------------------- (Outside Ratcliffe's yard) [GILMORE] This is the last Dalek left. I'll call forreinforcements. [DOCTOR] Not this time. I started this. [DOCTOR] Dalek, you have been defeated. Surrender. You have failed. [BLACK] Insufficient data. [DOCTOR] Your forces are destroyed. Your home planet a burnt cindercircling a dead sun. [BLACK] There is no data. [DOCTOR] Even Davros, your creator, is dead. [DOCTOR] You have no superiors, no inferiors, no reinforcement, no hope,no rescue. [BLACK] You are lying. There is insufficient data. [DOCTOR] You're trapped a trillion miles and a thousand years from adisintegrated home. [BLACK] Out of control! [DOCTOR] I have defeated you. You no longer serve any purpose. [BLACK] Cannot compute. Unstable. [BLACK] Unstable. --------------------------------------- (Boarding house - front room) [ACE] It's all right. Don't worry. It's all over now. --------------------------------------- (Outside Ratcliffe's yard) [DOCTOR] Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. --------------------------------------- (Cemetery) [DOCTOR] Time to leave. [ACE] Yes. Doctor? [DOCTOR] Yes? [ACE] We did good, didn't we? [DOCTOR] Perhaps. Time will tell. It always does.

Doctor Who (2 Nov, 1988; Seventh Doctor) - The Happiness Patrol (Street) [SILAS] Psst! Do you want to talk about it? [DAPHNE] I don't talk to strangers. [SILAS] Perhaps I can help. [DAPHNE] I didn't ask for any help. [SILAS] We both know you can't sit there like that. It's dangerous. [DAPHNE] It's too late. I don't care anymore. Let them find me. [SILAS] You don't have to face your suffering alone, you know. [DAPHNE] What do you mean? [SILAS] There's a place, a secret place, where some of us go to indulgeour depressions, to share our miseries, with other killjoys like youand me. [DAPHNE] I'm not a killjoy. [SILAS] That's what they would call you. You interested? [DAPHNE] Perhaps. [SILAS] Oh, it changed my life. Look, here's my card. Go on, take it. [DAPHNE] Silas P. [SILAS] Other side. [DAPHNE] But it says [SILAS] Happiness Patrol, Undercover. [SILAS] Time to get really depressed. [DAISY] Have a nice death. --------------------------------------- (Forum Square) [ACE] How about a triceratops? [DOCTOR] A horned dinosaur with a mouth like a beak? The Brigadier sawone in the London Underground once. [ACE] And a tyrannosaurus rex? [DOCTOR] Met quite a few actually. [ACE] Wicked. And pterodactyls? [DOCTOR] Lots of pterodactyls. [ACE] Evil. [DOCTOR] Perhaps we should make a little visit sometime. [ACE] What, to the Earth during the Upper Cretaceous? [DOCTOR] A very good time for dinosaurs. [ACE] I love dinosaurs. But I hate that. Lift music. Where are we,Professor, anyway? [DOCTOR] A planet, an Earth colony, settled some centuries in yourfuture. Do you like it? [ACE] No. [DOCTOR] No, neither do I. Why not? [ACE] Too phony. Too happy. [DOCTOR] Yes, I've been hearing disturbing rumours about Terra Alpha, soI decided to look in some time. [ACE] So tonight's the night. [DOCTOR] Tonight's the night. Rumours of something evil, and we're goingto get to the bottom of it. --------------------------------------- (Helen A's office) [HELEN] Your third badge, Silas P. Forty five killjoys to your credit.Impressive work. I'm very happy. [SILAS] I'm glad that you're happy, ma'am, but it's forty seven,actually. [HELEN] I do the counting, thank you, Silas P. [SILAS] Sorry, ma'am. [HELEN] Still, I like your initiative, your enterprise. I'll see thatyou go far. [SILAS] I'm aiming for the top. [HELEN] Not quite the very top, I hope, Silas P? --------------------------------------- (Street) [ACE] This music's really winding me up, Professor. [DOCTOR] Yes, it makes you wonder how the natives stand it. [ACE] I haven't see any natives. [DOCTOR] Ah, there's one. [TREVOR] Name? [ACE] Ace. [TREVOR] No nicknames, aliases, pseudonyms, nom-de-plumes. Real names. [ACE] It is my real name. Tell him, Professor. [DOCTOR] What's in a name? [TREVOR] I could report you for that. [ACE] Can you smell something, Professor? [DOCTOR] Now that you come to mention it. You must forgive my youngfriend, Ace, Mister er. Er, you didn't tell me your name. [TREVOR] You're right, I didn't give it, but then, I don't have to. I'mon official business from Galactic Centre. [DOCTOR] How do I know you're telling the truth? [TREVOR] My identification. [DOCTOR] Thank you, Trevor Sigma. Actually, my nickname at college wasTheta Sigma. [TREVOR] No nicknames. --------------------------------------- (Forum Square) [DAISY K] Right. Over there. This way. --------------------------------------- (Street) [DOCTOR] Well? [ACE] Bullet holes? [DOCTOR] Definitely. Something very nasty's happening here, and we'vegot to put a stop to it, quickly. [ACE] How quickly? [DOCTOR] Tonight. [ACE] Isn't this going to be dangerous? [DOCTOR] Yes. [ACE] Right, how do we start? [DOCTOR] First, we'll try and get ourselves arrested. --------------------------------------- (Forum Square) [ACE] Professor, what they've done! [DOCTOR] Yes, it looks good. [DAISY] You look rather unhappy about something. [DOCTOR] On the contrary. Just admiring your handiwork. Huh, miserablelooking thing, wasn't it? [DAISY] Our thoughts exactly. And what about you? Are you happy? [DOCTOR] Oh, I say she is, relatively speaking, given the deeplydistressing nature of so many fundamental universal truths. [DAISY] What do you mean? [DOCTOR] Well, she's happy and I'm happy. [ACE] Can't you afford a real gun? [ACE] Gordon Bennett. [DAISY] I'm glad you're happy, but what are you doing here, hmm? Youdon't look like locals. In fact, you look like killjoys. [DOCTOR] We're visitors, just here for the night. [ACE] What are killjoys? [DAISY] You must be from offworld. All right. In future, stay in thespecified tourist zones. [DOCTOR] Sorry? [DAISY] You may go. [ACE] You're not going to arrest us? [DAISY] I don't see why. [ACE] Doctor, they're not going to arrest us. [DOCTOR] Badges. [ACE] Badges? [DOCTOR] Yes, I believe all offworld personnel are issued with badges atcustoms. [DAISY] Yes. Where are your badges? [ACE] I've got badges. [DOCTOR] She's got badges. [ACE] This one's Charlton Athletic. [DAISY] Not interested. Where's your badge? [DOCTOR] Oh dear, I don't seem to have one. [DAISY] He is obviously a spy. She is obviously his accomplice. He willdisappear and she can audition for the Happiness Patrol. [DOCTOR] What does that mean? [DAISY] You're under arrest. [ACE] Phew. About time. --------------------------------------- (Helen A's home) [HELEN] What are you watching, dear? [JOSEPH] It's a video, dear, of something called Routine DisappearanceNumber four hundred and ninety nine thousand nine hundred and eightyseven. [HELEN] Turn that off, dear. That's for my eyes only. Besides, you'remissing my broadcast. [JOSEPH] Oh. [HELEN [on screen]] Finally, Joseph C and I would like to thank you foryour sterling work in helping to track down the killjoys. [HELEN] I think you should watch this, dear. You may find itinstructive. [HELEN [on screen]] Now, remember, enjoy yourselves. Happiness willprevail! --------------------------------------- (Waiting zone) [ACE] I thought we we'd been arrested. I thought we were going to prison. [DOCTOR] Ah. Hold the two bananas and nudge. Never fails. [ACE] Oh, well, can't win them all. [HAROLD] It's all right. I don't like winning. [ACE] Why is that? [HAROLD] First of all, I'm a killjoy, and secondly, I don't like theprize. [ACE] Why, what is the prize? [HAROLD] You're about to find out. [HELEN [on screen]] Congratulations and well played. Here is your prizejoke. Did you hear about the killjoy who won an outing with theHappiness Patrol? He was tickled to death! Enjoy yourself. [DOCTOR] I see what you mean. The delivery's terrible. [HAROLD] The joke's not much good either. [DOCTOR] You're right. It's awful. It's tasteless, smug, and worst ofall, it's badly constructed, I mean, who writes that stuff? [HAROLD] I wrote it. [ACE] You wrote it? [HAROLD] I used to be her gag writer, when I was Harold F. Then mybrother disappeared. I went to look for him. I heard of otherdisappearances. They caught me in the rocket port zone, trying tocontact Terra Omega, and brought put me here where I was regraded toHarold V. [ACE] But what's keeping you here? I mean, why don't we just leave? [DOCTOR] Excuse me? [PRISCILLA] Yes? [DOCTOR] Is this a prison? [PRISCILLA] A prison? Of course not! This is the Waiting Zone. Therearen't any prisons on Terra Alpha. Miserable places. [DOCTOR] So there's absolutely no chance whatsoever that this could be aplace of incarceration, and we're free to leave at any time. [PRISCILLA] Well, yes and no. This isn't a prison, but cross that lineand you're a dead man. --------------------------------------- (Execution yard) [JOSEPH] Congratulations. [JOSEPH] Bad luck, old man. Still, we have to be fair, haven't we? It wouldn't becricket otherwise. --------------------------------------- (Waiting zone) [DOCTOR] So what you're telling me is that Helen Apunishes anyone for wearing dark clothes? [HAROLD] Public grief, she calls it. It also covers listening to slowmusic, and reading poems, unless they're limericks, of course. [DOCTOR] This is terrible. [HAROLD] Walking in the rain as well, if you're on your own and don'ttake an umbrella. [ACE] Why don't people stand up to her? [HAROLD] People are scared. [DOCTOR] Remember the Happiness Patrol, Ace. [ACE] Bunch of ratbags. [DOCTOR] Ratbags with guns. [HAROLD] The Happiness Patrol were the nice side of her regime. Do youknow who the Kandyman is, Doctor? [DOCTOR] He sounds like a sweetie. [HAROLD] He's dangerous. [DOCTOR] Dangerous? [HAROLD] He's doing experiments. That's why we're here. He needs guineapigs. Guinea pigs like you and me. [ACE] What sort of experiments? [HAROLD] I can't find out. [DOCTOR] What else does he do, this Kandyman? [HAROLD] He makes sweets. --------------------------------------- (Helen A's office) [GILBERT] You wanted to see me, ma'am? [HELEN] Just curiosity, Gilbert M. I wondered what the Kandyman hadconjured up for us tonight? [GILBERT] It's a Fondant Surprise, ma'am. [HELEN] Flavour? [GILBERT] Strawberry. [HELEN] Delicious! My favourite. --------------------------------------- (Waiting zone) [ACE] So you reckon the Kandyman's the one behindthe disappearances? [HAROLD] One of the ones. There are three ways of disappearing on TerraAlpha. The Late Show at the Forum, a visit to the Kandy Kitchen, andsomething else. [ACE] What sort of something else? [HAROLD] I don't know, exactly. Rumour has it that Helen A favours thefiring squad. --------------------------------------- (Execution yard) [JOSEPH] It says here that you have been found guilty of an ostentatiousdisplay of public grief? Oh dear, dear, dear. [DAISY] Patrol! [JOSEPH] And so you have been sentenced to the severest penalty decreedby Helen A. [DAISY] Patrol, dismiss! [JOSEPH] (French accent) Mmm, Fondant Surprise. --------------------------------------- (Waiting zone) [ACE] Time we moved on, Professor? [DOCTOR] Well, we have a night's work ahead of us and I think we'velearned enough. [ACE] Ace. Prison break. [DOCTOR] Waiting zone break, but I think we'll take our new found friendwith us. [HAROLD] What's that? [ACE] We're going to escape. [DOCTOR] Shush. [HAROLD] There is no escape. --------------------------------------- (Helen A's office) [GILBERT] Well, I must be going, ma'am. [HELEN] So soon? We haven't finished yet. There's still his brother,Harold V, to deal with. [GILBERT] Ah, yes. His brother. [HELEN] Families are very important for people's happiness. --------------------------------------- (Waiting zone) [PRISCILLA] I think he got a buzz out of that. [ACE] Shut up! [DOCTOR] Hold it, Ace. [PRISCILLA] Rather a shocking experience. [ACE] Let me shut her up! [DOCTOR] Save it, save it. You can't run. You're no good to me likethis. [ACE] I want to nail those scumbags. I want to make them very, veryunhappy. [DOCTOR] Don't worry, Ace, we will. --------------------------------------- (Kandy Kitchen) [KANDYMAN] What time do you call this? --------------------------------------- (Waiting zone) [DOCTOR] Tell me. [PRISCILLA] Yes? [DOCTOR] I was wondering about your go-cart. [PRISCILLA] It's not my go-cart, it's the Waiting Zone's go-cart. [DOCTOR] Yes. I was wondering, if we were to get into it and drive off,what would you do? [PRISCILLA] Nothing. [DOCTOR] Nothing? [PRISCILLA] Nothing. [DOCTOR] Wouldn't raise the alarm? Shoot us? [PRISCILLA] Nothing. [DOCTOR] You're right. It's booby-trapped. --------------------------------------- (Helen A's home) [HELEN] Did I leave you, my darling? Well, don't worry. I'm back now. --------------------------------------- (Waiting zone) [PRISCILLA] What are you doing? [DOCTOR] Nothing. [PRISCILLA] You're not thinking of starting that? [ACE] No. [PRISCILLA] Are you sure? [DOCTOR] Yes. [ACE] Here, let me help. [DOCTOR] No, stop it. [ACE] It's a bomb, isn't it? [DOCTOR] I'm trying to defuse it. [ACE] Let me have a go. [DOCTOR] I'm trying not to get us blown to pieces. [ACE] I never get to have any fun. [DOCTOR] Shush. [DOCTOR] Start the engine. You can drive. --------------------------------------- (Street) [ACE] Any luck, Professor? [DOCTOR] I need a little more time. [ACE] You've got it. [ACE] Oi! [DAISY] I arrest you for evasion of the Happiness Patrol auditions. [ACE] Where are they? I'm ready for them. Question is, are they readyfor me? [DAISY] Take her back to the Happiness Patrol headquarters, and we'llcontinue to search for the spy. [DOCTOR] Ow! That's it. [DOCTOR] Ace? At least the Happiness Patrol left us in peace. Ace? --------------------------------------- (Patrol headquarters) [ACE] I'm beginning to enjoy this. [SUSAN] Oh, okay, stop that. That's no good. Do you know any jokes? [ACE] I always forget jokes. [SUSAN] Well, how about songs? [ACE] Oh, I know this great song about this bloke and his girlfriend.She drops the ring he gives her on the railway track, and when he goesback to get it, she's killed by the train and he's really miserable forthe rest of his life. Oh, it's fantastic. [SUSAN] Happy songs, Ace. Songs about sunshine and furry animals. [SUSAN] I woke up one morning. [ACE] I know that song. [SUSAN] There's a million blues songs start like that. But I did wake upone morning, and suddenly something was very clear. I couldn't go onsmiling. Smiling while my friends disappeared, wearing this uniform andsmiling and trying to pretend I'm something I'm not. Trying to pretendthat I'm happy. Better to let it end. Better to just relax and let ithappen. I woke up one morning and I realised it was all over. [ACE] Look, I'm sorry. [SUSAN] I think we'll abandon our rehearsal. [ACE] I'm not Happiness Patrol material anyway. They stand foreverything I hate. Like you said, smiling all the time, smiling when itdoesn't mean anything. I'm not one of them. I can't play an instrument,I can't dance, I can't sing. [SUSAN] No, but there is something you might be very good at. [ACE] Oh, yeah? [SUSAN] A disappearing act. [ACE] What do I have to do? [SUSAN] It's simple. I give you this key, then I close my eyes, and whenI open them, you've gone. --------------------------------------- (Street) [DOCTOR] Excuse me, you wouldn't happen to have a spare automotive jackon you, would you? [SILAS] Oh, I'm afraid not. But I can offer you the hand of friendship.Sit down, tell me about yourself. [DOCTOR] I'm looking for Helen A. Perhaps you would point me in theright direction? [SILAS] I can tell you where to find her, but when you meet her, makesure you're smiling. [DOCTOR] Smiling? [SILAS] She hates miserable people. Haven't you heard about themassacre, then? [DOCTOR] Yes, I have heard rumours. [SILAS] She sent her spies out to find the most depressing township onthe planet. The Happiness Patrol went in and razed the place to theground. [DOCTOR] But why? [SILAS] Policy. Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to distress you. [DOCTOR] I'm not distressed, I'm angry. Why don't people stand up toher? [SILAS] Oh, lots of reasons. The Happiness Patrol, the Kandyman [DOCTOR] Ah, the Kandyman. He's next on my list of people to see. [SILAS] Then I'd cross him off fast, if I were you. He's Helen A'shenchman. Does all her dirty work. There are small pockets ofresistance, though. Quiet murmurings of rebellion. Are you interested? [DOCTOR] Of course. [SILAS] There's a place, a secret place, where we're planning for theday when Helen A and the Kandyman will be called to account. Here, mycard. [DOCTOR] Oh, thank you, Silas P. [SILAS] Other side. [DOCTOR] Happiness Patrol Undercover. Oh, excellent. Perhaps you couldtake a message? [DOCTOR] You must be a musician. [EARL] Sort of. [DOCTOR] Your timing's good. [EARL] We'd better go. [DAISY] You look unhappy, Silas P. [SILAS] No! Wait! [DOCTOR] I'm the Doctor. [EARL] Earl Sigma. [DOCTOR] A subtle musician. [EARL] No, I'm really a medical student, fifth year post-med psychology. [DOCTOR] What does the Sigma stand for? [EARL] It stand for alien. All visitors are called Sigma. [DOCTOR] And you're travelling through the colonies. [EARL] I'm on vacation. Paid my way with music and I sort of got stuckhere. [DOCTOR] It's an interesting planet from the psychological standpoint. [EARL] Yeah. We gotta go. [DOCTOR] No, this way. There's someone I'd like to meet. --------------------------------------- (Kandy Kitchen) [EARL] What is this place? [DOCTOR] I believe it's where they make sweets. --------------------------------------- (Street) [DAISY] Halt or we fire! --------------------------------------- (Kandy Kitchen) [GILBERT] They think it's easy. A thousand pounds of praline cracknel,indeed. They don't know his moods. He's terrible when he's roused. Ikeep telling them, but they won't believe me. They're lucky to get anysweets at all. [KANDYMAN] Enough! Where are my specimens? [GILBERT] If they think it's so easy they should have a go at makingsweets themselves. They wouldn't know popcorn from peppermint. [KANDYMAN] I said, where are my specimens? It's time for an experiment. [GILBERT] I think they just slipped under the table. [KANDYMAN] There's no one there. [GILBERT] But I saw them. [KANDYMAN] Show me! [GILBERT] But I, I could have sworn they were under the table. [KANDYMAN] I can feel one of my moods coming on. [KANDYMAN] Welcome to the Kandy Kitchen, gentlemen. [DOCTOR] I'm sure the pleasure's all ours. [KANDYMAN] I do hope so. I like my volunteers to die with smiles ontheir faces. --------------------------------------- (Street) [ACE] Evil. What's going on here? [DAISY] It's of no consequence. [ACE] I'd say they look rather upset about something. [DAISY] They're fools. They think they will achieve something with theirmarch. [ACE] Demonstration? Wicked. [DAISY] All they will achieve is their extinction. [ACE] So Helen A doesn't allow demos. I could have guessed as much. [DAISY] Of course she allows demos. These are killjoys, and worse thanthat, they're drones. [ACE] Drones? [DAISY] Workers from the flatlands. It's forbidden for them to enter thecity. That's why they'll never leave it alive. [ACE] You're scared of them, aren't you. Up the killjoys! [ACE] Gordon Bennett. Mmph! --------------------------------------- (Kandy Kitchen) [KANDYMAN] This is where you come in, gentlemen.The interesting part. The tasting. [DOCTOR] May we enquire what it is? [KANDYMAN] Ah, a labour of love, Doctor. A labour of love. [DOCTOR] I didn't know you were the caring type. [KANDYMAN] Just because Helen A prefers my ugly side doesn't mean Idon't care, does it, Gilbert M? Gilbert M! [GILBERT] Oh, no, of course not. [KANDYMAN] Thank you. And just because she employs me as her executionerdoesn't mean I can't be creative. No need to worry, gentlemen. Tonightyou see before you the artistic, sensitive side of me. So I makesweets. Not just any old sweets, but sweets that are so good, sodelicious that sometimes, if I'm on form, the human physiology is notequipped to bear the pleasure. Tell them what I've tried to say,Gilbert. [GILBERT] He makes sweets that kill people. --------------------------------------- (Waiting zone) [ACE] Wotcher. Like your new prison. [PRISCILLA] On Terra Alpha there [ACE] Yeah, yeah, on Terra Alpha you don't have prisons. [PRISCILLA] We have the Waiting zone instead, and the Waiting zone movesto different places in the city according to the time of night. [ACE] Waiting zone? Who are you kidding? [PRISCILLA] Some people don't have to wait in the Waiting zone for verylong. --------------------------------------- (Kandy Kitchen) [KANDYMAN] Now, let's see what we've got for you. [DOCTOR] Before you start, there is something I wanted to ask you aboutthat's been worrying me. It's the executions. [KANDYMAN] What about them? [DOCTOR] Well, out there, people don't seem to know what method you use.I was intrigued. [KANDYMAN] I didn't realise you were conceding an interest in themechanics of execution, Doctor. A man after my own soft centre. [DOCTOR] I was just curious. [KANDYMAN] The secret's in the pipes. Vanilla secret tomorrow night, Ithink. Just when the victim thinks he's been pardoned it flows into theyard and smothers him. It's ingenious, isn't it. [DOCTOR] Depraved. [KANDYMAN] We call it Fondant Surprise. [DOCTOR] Is there any way of stopping it once it starts moving? [KANDYMAN] The foam can be diverted down another pipe, but I'm not goingto tell you how. Anyway, it's a hypothetical question. What reasoncould I possibly have for stopping an execution? [DOCTOR] Er, you said soft centre? [KANDYMAN] Did I? [DOCTOR] Yes, you said soft centre instead of heart. What is your heartmade of? [KANDYMAN] Difficult to say. It's all in there somewhere. Caramel,sherbet, toffee, marzipan, gelling agents, it's all in motion. [DOCTOR] Ah! A movable feast, eh? [KANDYMAN] Very droll, Doctor. [DOCTOR] So you're perfectly adapted to your environment. [KANDYMAN] Perfectly. [DOCTOR] Protected against everything. That is, except from the intenseheat from that open oven behind you. [KANDYMAN] What! [DOCTOR] I said, protected against everything except for the intenseheat from the open oven behind you. [KANDYMAN] Silence! [DOCTOR] And, of course, the adhesive effect of carbonated H2O andcitric acid. Lemonade, to you. [KANDYMAN] Gilbert! Gilbert, where are you? [KANDYMAN] Gilbert, come here! Gilbert. Gilbert! Gilbert, they'regetting away from here! You'll be sorry! [DOCTOR] Sweet dreams. [KANDYMAN] Gilbert! --------------------------------------- (Pipe) [KANDYMAN [OC]] Gilbert! Gilbert! --------------------------------------- (Waiting zone) [PRISCILLA] What's this? [ACE] I'll show you. Just trying to be friendly. [PRISCILLA] This is some kind of an explosive device. I used to workwith explosives when I was in Happiness Patrol B, the anti-terroristsquad. We worked the night shift. I like working late at night. [ACE] Not interested. [PRISCILLA] Night times are when they come out. [ACE] Who? [PRISCILLA] The killjoys. Depressives, manic reactive endogenous. We gotthem. All of them. [ACE] What do you mean, got them? [PRISCILLA] They disappeared. [ACE] You make me sick. [PRISCILLA] I did a good job, and then they put me on this. It's notfair. I know the streets. I'm a fighter. [ACE] No, you're not. You're a killer. [SUSAN] Yes, she is. [PRISCILLA] I am what I am. --------------------------------------- (Pipe) [DOCTOR] It's crystallised sugar. This pipe must have carried some sortof syrup. What do you think? [EARL] Not good, but I have tasted the real thing. [DOCTOR] So it's certainly past its best, so we can assume thatnothing's been pumped down here for some time. I wonder why? How wouldyou describe the Kandyman's confection? [EARL] It can only be the work of a schizophrenic obsessive. [DOCTOR] Ah, yeah. Delicious. [DOCTOR] Wait until we're in another section. [EARL] Why are you whispering? [DOCTOR] There's tons of crystallised syrup above us. [EARL] Ah, any sudden noise could cause it to collapse. [DOCTOR] Not any noise, just certain noises. [EARL] That's reassuring. --------------------------------------- (Kandy Kitchen) [KANDYMAN] Where have you been? [GILBERT] Ingredients. [KANDYMAN] Leaving me to be humiliated. They'll suffer for this. [GILBERT] Anything you say, Kandyman. [KANDYMAN] You'll pay for this. I'm going to crush you. [GILBERT] That's it, scream and shout, rant and rave. But remember this,Kandyman. Symbiosis. You need me and I need me. [KANDYMAN] You need you? [GILBERT] I need me. [KANDYMAN] I need you and you need you. [GILBERT] That's right. And just as you're squeezing the breath out ofme, your candy hand tightens round your own throat. --------------------------------------- (Pipe) [DOCTOR] Oh look. Some sort of footprint. [EARL] I wonder what kind of creature could have caused that? [DOCTOR] Their kind of creature. --------------------------------------- (Waiting zone) [ACE] It's all my fault. You'd have been all rightif you hadn't met me. [SUSAN] It would have happened sooner or later. I'm not Helen A's ideaof good Happiness Patrol material. She won't shed any tears over me.Let's face it, no one will. Even if they wanted to, they wouldn't beallowed. [ACE] But what now? [SUSAN] Well, I'll just disappear like the rest of them. Just another ofHelen A's victims. [ACE] I won't let it happen. We'll escape. I'll save you. [SUSAN] Don't worry. I'm happy that it's finally over. It's funny, that,isn't it. It's the first thing I've been happy about for ages. --------------------------------------- (Pipe) [WENCES] Back! Weapons. [DOCTOR] No weapons. Just a brolly. [WULFRIC] Weapons! [WENCES] Weapons! [EARL] Easy, easy. [WENCES] Wicked. [DOCTOR] What did you say? [WENCES] Wicked. [EARL] He's hip for a little guy. [DOCTOR] He's been taking lessons. So you've met my friend Ace? [WENCES] Not Ace. [WULFRIC] Brave girl. [WENCES] Captive. [DOCTOR] That sounds like Ace. Brave girl, captive. If only she'd listento what I tell her. [WENCES] Not Ace, Gordon. [DOCTOR + EARL] Gordon? [WENCES] Bennett. --------------------------------------- (Helen A's office) [HELEN] Happiness will prevail. Happiness Patrol section C please standby for the first stage of a routine disappearance. And don't forget,when you smile, I want to see those teeth. [HELEN] I think I'll let you handle this one. --------------------------------------- (Waiting zone) [PRISCILLA] Time for you to go. [ACE] Leave her alone! [SUSAN] I'm not ready. [PRISCILLA] No one ever is. [PRISCILLA] Steady. [SUSAN] Just let me say goodbye to my friend, please. [PRISCILLA] Why? What's the point? Take her away. [ACE] Just one question. How do you live with yourself? [PRISCILLA] She was never any good. She never had the right attitude.She never joined in. She wasn't part of the team. [ACE] She was my friend! [WENCES] Ace! --------------------------------------- (Pipe) [EARL] What's wrong with these little guys? [DOCTOR] Well, they may not look like it, but they're on the edge ofstarvation. No sugar in the pipes. [EARL] Why can't they live on the surface? [DOCTOR] They used to, but they were driven down here by human settlers. [EARL] By us? [DOCTOR] Yes, us. Ah, here we are. Seventh manhole on the right. I'll gofirst. It's been a privilege. We shall return. --------------------------------------- (Street) [TREVOR] Name? [DOCTOR] I'm the Doctor. Have we met? [TREVOR] I'm sorry, that's classified information. [DOCTOR] You're Trevor Sigma, aren't you. [TREVOR] Galactic Census Bureau. I ask the questions. [DOCTOR] You ask the questions? [TREVOR] I'm sorry, that's classified information. Address? [DOCTOR] Which one? [TREVOR] If you live here, I need a town and street. If you're an alien,I need a home planet except when you spend more than half the workingyear away, in which case I need a planet of origin. [DOCTOR] That's classified information. Name? [TREVOR] What? [DOCTOR] I ask the questions. [DOCTOR] Name? [TREVOR] Trevor Sigma. [DOCTOR] Address? [TREVOR] Galactic Centre. [EARL] What's happening, Doc? [DOCTOR] Questionnaire. Occupation? [TREVOR] Galactic Census Bureau, authorised to enter all Alphan propertyand to interview all Alphans. [DOCTOR] Good. Take me to the leader. [EARL] Got places to go, Doctor. [DOCTOR] I'll find you later. [EARL] How? [DOCTOR] The brandy of the damned. [EARL] Oh, the blues. You're a nice guy, Doctor, but a little weird. [DOCTOR] Enough of the little. [TREVOR] That's nice. It makes me feel sort of, er, sort of, er [DOCTOR] Melancholy? [TREVOR] Yes, that's it. A pleasant melancholy. --------------------------------------- (Helen A's office) [HELEN] Priscilla P was overpowered by a defenceless girl and a vermin.Is it a joke, Daisy K? [DAISY] No, ma'am. [HELEN] Oh, what a shame. I enjoy a good joke. Where did this guerillaunit disappear to after they had dealt with Priscilla P? [DAISY] They went down the pipes. [HELEN] Ah, the pipes. Excellent! Fifi's been eating far too manychocolates lately, haven't you, my darling. She could do with a bit ofsport. --------------------------------------- (Street) [DAVID] Here we are. Look at that. [ALEX] I can't believe we're doing this again. [DAVID] The mark three. [ALEX] Roof duty. [DAVID] The prototype for the mark four must be ready, for the women. [ALEX] Don't see any women doing roof duty. Women always get the betterjobs. [DAVID] Women always get the best guns. --------------------------------------- (Pipe) [ACE] Nice pipes. Reminds me of Perivale. [WENCES] Nice. [ACE] Not that nice. [WENCES] Own bed. [ACE] Careful with that can or we'll end up as grafitti. --------------------------------------- (Helen A's home) [JOSEPH] Will you come this way, gentlemen? It's Trevor Sigma, dear, ander. [HELEN] I'm glad to see you again, Trevor. I don't think I've had thepleasure. [DOCTOR] It's no pleasure, I can assure you. [HELEN] How very kind. [JOSEPH] Are you with the Bureau as well? [DOCTOR] I'm sorry, that's classified information. I understand you'reresponsible for this planet? [HELEN] We do our best. [DOCTOR] And is it a happy planet? [HELEN] I think you'll find everyone on Terra Alpha is very happy. [DOCTOR] Some people on Terra Alpha are very difficult to find. [HELEN] Well, I'm sure that Trevor Sigma will sniff them out for you,won't you, Trevor. [DOCTOR] I'm sorry, he's not allowed to answer that. [HELEN] I'm glad that you're here, Trevor. I wanted to tell you that Ihave adopted the Bureau's recommendations on population control. [DOCTOR] Which were? [HELEN] To control it. We have controlled the population down byseventeen percent. [DOCTOR] I'm sure you have. [HELEN] Over crowding has been quite eliminated. [JOSEPH] No more queues at the Post Office. [DOCTOR] And did you use the Bureau's programme? [HELEN] Not quite. I found my own programme to be more effective. [HELEN] Oh, if you will excuse me, gentlemen. Joseph C will take care ofyou. [JOSEPH] I say, Trevor, do we have to go through with this censusbusiness? Things haven't changed much since you were last here. [TREVOR] Full planetary census every six local cycles. That is the rule. [JOSEPH] Oh, very well. A splash of lemonade and I'll show you the Floral Clock. What about er? Is he coming? [DOCTOR] He can't. He has a prior engagement. [TREVOR] Where are you going? [DOCTOR] Remember, Trevor, I ask the questions. --------------------------------------- (Helen A's office) [HELEN] Routine disappearance number five hundred thousand and five.Calling Happiness Patrol section C. Preparations are now complete.Stand by to escort killjoy into execution yard. Happiness will prevail! [DOCTOR] Population control? [HELEN] Look, who are you? [DOCTOR] And which member of the population are you controlling today,just for the record. [HELEN] A woman who disappointed me. [DOCTOR] And how did she disappoint you, eh? Oh, no, no, don't answer,no, no. She enjoyed the feel of rain upon her face. Or perhaps herfavourite season was the autumn. [HELEN] You talk too much, whoever you are. [DOCTOR] Was that question? [HELEN] No. [DOCTOR] Good. I'm the Doctor. Still no luck? I'd have that seen to if Iwere you. --------------------------------------- (Helen A's home) [JOSEPH] A touch more lemonade? [DOCTOR] Ah, thank you. [JOSEPH] Strange chap. --------------------------------------- (Pipe) [WENCES] There. [ACE] Where? [ACE] Which way? Gordon Bennett. The Nitro, quick. The can! Keep down. --------------------------------------- (Kandy Kitchen) [KANDYMAN] What's affected me? Help me! [GILBERT] It's quite simple. Created as you are out of glucose basedsubstances, your joints need constant movement to avoid coagulation. [KANDYMAN] What do you mean? [GILBERT] You're turning into a slab of toffee. I saw this at theplanning stage, and then I realised what the solution was. [KANDYMAN] What's that? [GILBERT] I've forgotten. --------------------------------------- (Street) [DOCTOR] That sounds like a three star brandy to me. [EARL] Hey, Doc. There's a demonstration. Workers from the sugar factorystriking over Happiness Patrol murders. [DOCTOR] Ooo, I'd like to talk to them. [EARL] It's too dangerous. They're pinned down by a couple of snipers. [DOCTOR] Oh dear, I'd better hurry. I've got to get to the KandyKitchen. [EARL] Not the Kandy Kitchen. [DOCTOR] Don't worry, I'll deal with the snipers. --------------------------------------- (Roof) [DAVID] Pick your gun up. [ALEX] Why? There's no one there. [DAVID] You're right. They've all gone to ground. [ALEX] I don't mind. Good luck to them. [DAVID] Shut it. Wait a minute. There's one. It's all right, I'll havehim. Just let him get a little closer. [ALEX] Wait, he's not a drone. [DAVID] He's fair game, and you're heading that way. All right, come on.Come and say hello. [DOCTOR] Hello. [DAVID] Get back or I'll use the gun. [DOCTOR] Yes, I imagine you will. You like guns, don't you. [DAVID] This is a specialised weapon. It's designed for roof duty,designed for long range. I've never used one up close before. [ALEX] Let him go. [DAVID] No. [DOCTOR] No. In fact, let him come a little closer. [DAVID] Stay where you are. [DOCTOR] Why? Scared? Why should you be scared? You're the one with thegun. [DAVID] That's right. [DOCTOR] You like guns, don't you. [ALEX] He'll kill you. [DOCTOR] Of course he will. That's what guns are for. Pull the trigger,end a life. Simple, isn't it. [DAVID] Yes. [DOCTOR] Makes sense, doesn't it. [DAVID] Yes. [DOCTOR] A life killing life. [ALEX] Who are you? [DOCTOR] Shut up. Why don't you do it then? Look me in the eye, pull thetrigger, end my life. Why not? [DAVID] I can't. [DOCTOR] Why not? [DAVID] I don't know. [DOCTOR] No, you don't, do you. [DOCTOR] Throw away your gun. --------------------------------------- (Execution yard) [DAISY] And so you have been sentenced to the severest penalty decreedby Helen A. [SUSAN] I'm glad. [DAISY] I'm happy you're glad. Patrol! Dismissed. --------------------------------------- (Helen A's office) [HELEN] Excellent. The Fondant Surprise. --------------------------------------- (Kandy Kitchen) [GILBERT] We seem to have an execution. Shall I oblige, since you appearto be bogged down? [KANDYMAN] Just get me unstuck. --------------------------------------- (Pipe) [WENCES] No! [ACE] Come on, what're you moaning about now? [WENCES] Fondant. [ACE] Move it. [WENCES] Move it. [ACE] Move it. [WENCES] Move it. [ACE] Move it. [WENCES] (???) [ACE] (???) Why didn't you say? --------------------------------------- (Kandy Kitchen) [DOCTOR] Kandyman, don't let the Happiness Patrolsee you looking like that. A big smile, please. [KANDYMAN] Unstick me. [DOCTOR] I'll unstick you if you divert the flow. [KANDYMAN] It's a deal. --------------------------------------- (Helen A's office) [HELEN] Come on, come on. [JOSEPH] It's Trevor here. He has a few questions to ask you. [HELEN] Not now. [HELEN] They'll suffer for this, and only when they're screaming to goback under the pipe will I oblige. [TREVOR] No. [HELEN] What? [TREVOR] You can't. [HELEN] What do you mean? [TREVOR] Constitutional rules of the system. When the mechanics of anexecution malfunction, the aforesaid execution may not be repeated. [JOSEPH] Oh dear, what a nuisance. [HELEN] So now they're protected from the Fondant Surprise. [TREVOR] Rules of the system. [HELEN] Rules of the system? [TREVOR] Which further go on to say that an alternative execution may besubstituted. [HELEN] Fine. --------------------------------------- (Kandy Kitchen) [KANDYMAN] So you trusted me, then, Doctor. [DOCTOR] Of course. [KANDYMAN] Very wise. I am a Kandyman of my word, but now our bargain isover. It's time to kill you. [DOCTOR] I thought you might have said that. [DOCTOR] Oh well, here we go again. [KANDYMAN] No! Gilbert! Gilbert! Gilbert, where are you! --------------------------------------- (Helen A's office) [HELEN] You were very lucky just now. [ACE] I'm not frightened of you. [HELEN] No? You're going to audition for the Late Show at the Forum. [ACE] The Late Show? [SUSAN] It's the Happiness Patrol auditions. [ACE] But you're in the Happiness Patrol already. [HELEN] Not any more. Joseph! [JOSEPH] A big smile, dear. --------------------------------------- (Forum Square) [EARL] It's been a quiet night. [DOCTOR] Yes, well, it's been a busy one for me. [EARL] So what now? [DOCTOR] I've lost my friend Ace. [DOCTOR] I think I know where to find her. [DOCTOR] When's the show open? [DOORMAN] In five minutes. You'll catch it if you're quick. [DOCTOR] Five minutes? Why are they only putting the posters up now? [DOORMAN] They're just for appearances. We always have a full housebecause attendance is compulsory. [DOCTOR] Run and get the demonstrators and bring them to the Forum. [EARL] What if they don't want to come? [DOCTOR] You'll find a way. I'll meet you here later. [EARL] Right. [DOCTOR] I want to find out if there's an artist appearing in the Forumtonight. [DOORMAN] I'll just have a look at my list. [DOCTOR] Her name is Ace. [DOORMAN] I can't do anything till I find my list, now can I? [DOORMAN] Oh dear. Doesn't look like Daphne S went down too well, nowdoes it? --------------------------------------- (Forum Square) [DAISY] Big smiles, girls. It's show time. --------------------------------------- (Helen A's home) [HELEN] Look at them, Fifi. Dreary clothes, turgid music and terribledeportment. Oh, they really are so depressing. Happiness will prevail.Happiness Patrol section F, prepare to effect a large scaledisappearance. A drone demonstration is heading towards Forum Square.Proceed there directly. Take no prisoners. --------------------------------------- (Forum Square) [DOORMAN] Ace Sigma, wasn't it? [DOCTOR] Yes. [DOORMAN] What does she do, then? [DOCTOR] Do? [DOORMAN] Sing, dance, juggle, magic, vent or impressions? [DOCTOR] She makes things disappear. [DOORMAN] Magic. [DOCTOR] (sotto) Nothing magical about the way she does it. [DOORMAN] No, I've nothing down here under magic, but I can do you anAce Sigma on the miracle survival act. [DOCTOR] What does that mean? No, don't tell me. If she survives, it's amiracle. --------------------------------------- (Helen A's home) [HELEN] There we are. And the last one. Ah, there we are, my darling.All mended. We're a team, Fifi, you and I. We help each other, and wewill make this a happy planet, in spite of all the killjoys and thebunglers that surround us. And if they're miserable, we put them out oftheir misery. After all, it's for their own good. But first of all, alittle harmless revenge. You take the vermin in the pipes, I'll takethe vermin in the Forum. --------------------------------------- (Forum Square) [TANNOY] This is a public happiness announcement. A depression is movingtowards Forum Square. The proper authorities will restore harmony andpeace. [TREVOR] Doctor. [DOCTOR] Trevor Sigma. Come to see the fun? Or is that classifiedinformation? [TREVOR] No, I'm leaving this planet. I've completed my census. [DOCTOR] Oh, is that it? And where are the Census Bureau going to sendyou next? [TREVOR] Earth. Have you been there? [DOCTOR] Once or twice. [TREVOR] Miserable sort of place. [DOCTOR] You're making me feel nostalgic. Wait a minute. You can't givethem these names. I know them. Harold V, Silas P. They might have livedhere once, but [TREVOR] They've disappeared. I know. Strange, isn't it? Don't ask mewhy, but that is what they wanted. [DOCTOR] How long is it since you were last on this planet? [TREVOR] Er, six months ago. [DOCTOR] So, this represents six months worth of Helen A's handiwork. Alist of the disappeared. [TREVOR] That's right. --------------------------------------- (Street) [PRISCILLA] Over there. [MAN] What? [PRISCILLA] In the shadows. A killjoy. Dark coat, drooping shoulders, atear glistening on the cheekbone. Summary execution. [MAN] Not this time, Priscilla. Save it for the drones. Drive on. --------------------------------------- (Forum Square) [DOCTOR] It's still the same old story, a fight for love or glory, acase of do or die. [DOCTOR] Earl. [EARL] The drones are on their way. [DOCTOR] Thank you, Earl. Everything's beginning to fall into place. Astime goes by. [DOCTOR] You're late. [ACE] Doctor! [DOCTOR] You don't know how happy I am to see you, Ace! [DAISY] I'm glad you're happy, Doctor, but now it's fun time. Have anice death. [ACE] Doctor! [DOCTOR] It's all right, Ace. They can't shoot me because they seebefore them a happy man! And their logic tells them, twisted though itbe, that as such they have no power over me. I may have been some timeago a little grouchy, perhaps, a little bad-tempered, but not today.No, because today the Doctor and the drones are having a ball! [DOCTOR] You can't do it, Happiness Patrol section B. You can't go downin the history of the galaxy as a bunch of partypoopers. The onlykilljoys in this square are behind you! [DOCTOR] They're just wallowing in their own [GILBERT] Weltschmertz. [DOCTOR] Weltschmertz. All except Susan Q and Ace, who are happy to seeme! [DOCTOR] Very happy. [DAISY] Priscilla P, stop it. [ACE] Come on, Professor, get this heap of junk moving. --------------------------------------- (Execution yard) [HELEN] Lovely evening. [JOSEPH] Yes, dear. [HELEN] It's the sort of evening that makes you happy to be alive. Isaid, it's the sort of evening that makes you happy to be alive! [JOSEPH] Oh. Yes, dear. I'm glad you're happy. [HELEN] And I'm happy you're glad. [TANNOY] Happiness will prevail. Chaos in Forum Square. Fighting hasbroken out in the ranks of the Happiness Patrol itself. Happiness willprevail. [HELEN] No matter how hard I try, no matter how much work I put in,something always happens. Even moments like this aren't sacred. But oneday, we will be happy. One day, I will be appreciated. [JOSEPH] Yes, dear. [HELEN] Here, you wait for Fifi. I suppose I'd better deal with thismyself. [JOSEPH] Yes, dear. --------------------------------------- (Street) [ACE] Where to now, Professor? [DOCTOR] To the top. --------------------------------------- (Waiting zone) [PRISCILLA] Keep playing. Enjoy yourself. [DAISY] Strictly speaking, P, this game is for killjoys. And I am not akilljoy. [PRISCILLA] You pick up a lot in five years on the streets. You can seeit in their eyes. You can feel their fear. They know you're watching. [DAISY] Ah, it's Helen A! [PRISCILLA] Ignore it. It's just a recording. [HELEN [on screen]] It's not a recording. I'm broadcasting live. Putdown your gun and release Daisy K. [PRISCILLA] But she's a killjoy. I arrested her myself. [HELEN [on screen]] I'm losing patience. Put down your gun. [PRISCILLA] What shall I do, ma'am? [HELEN [on screen]] You're in the Waiting zone. Wait. --------------------------------------- (Pipe) [ACE] Here's company, Professor. [DOCTOR] Ah, Wulfric, Wences. [DOCTOR] That sounds like a Stigorax. I haven't met one since I was inBirmingham in the twenty fifth century. Ruthless, intelligentpredators. [WENCES] Danger! [WULFRIC] Fifi! [DOCTOR] Fifi? That wouldn't be Fifi as in Fifi the annoyed rat you claimto have blown to smithereens? [ACE] Nobody's perfect, Professor. [DOCTOR] Including Fifi. [DOCTOR] This way, I think. [WENCES] That way danger. [DOCTOR] Precisely. --------------------------------------- (Helen A's office) [HELEN] So. What are we left with after this littlelocal difficulty in Forum Square. Remind me. [DAISY] A posse heading out towards the sugar factories, and the Doctorand his gang roaming the city. [HELEN] Nothing insoluble there. All the factories are heavily protectedand we'll soon track down the Doctor. [DAISY] He may have gone down into the pipes. [HELEN] Excellent. We'll leave Fifi to deal with him. --------------------------------------- (Pipe) [ACE] What was that? [EARL] Sounded like an A flat to me. [DOCTOR] Shush. Whisper. [SUSAN] Why are we whispering? [EARL] Crystallised syrup. As it ages it becomes unstable. [ACE] So any loud noise could set off an avalanche. [DOCTOR] Hardly any loud noise, just certain loud noises. [ACE] Crucial. [DOCTOR] I want you to go down the other end with the Pipe People. [ACE] Come on, Professor. [DOCTOR] Take Susie Q with you. Come on. Run! [DOCTOR] Earl, give me an A flat. [EARL] Eh? [DOCTOR] No, A flat. [EARL] Why? [DOCTOR] Resonance. Sympathetic vibrations. Haven't you read the paperof Doctor John Wallace to the Royal Society in 1677? Quickly. [DOCTOR] Wrong note. Er, give me a C. [EARL] Isn't this dangerous? [DOCTOR] Yes. Keep playing. --------------------------------------- (Helen A's office) [TANNOY] Happiness will prevail. Factory guards arejoining forces with the drones to destroy the Nevani sugar beet planthere in sector six. We will keep broadcasting. [HELEN] It's only one factory, Daisy K. I've built over a thousand. [DAISY] What about the reports of riots, hmm? And public unhappiness? [HELEN] Simple. All we need is someone who knows the streets like theback of her hand. Someone who is a good fighter, and someone above allwho is fiercely loyal. Who do you suggest? Priscilla P, perhaps? [DAISY] She's a fanatic. [HELEN] That's how I like them. Get me the Waiting zone. [HELEN] Get me the Kandyman. [DAISY] You're not unhappy about something? [HELEN] Daisy, get me the Kandyman! --------------------------------------- (Kandy Kitchen) [KANDYMAN] Kandyman. --------------------------------------- (Helen A's office) [HELEN] I want the Doctor, and I want him now. Idon't care what you do, I don't care how far you have to go. --------------------------------------- (Kandy Kitchen) [KANDYMAN] That won't be necessary. --------------------------------------- (Helen A's office) [HELEN] Why not? [KANDYMAN [OC]] He's just dropped in. --------------------------------------- (Kandy Kitchen) [DOCTOR] Kandyman, I don't believe you've met my young friend, Ace. Anexpert in calorification, incineration, carbonisation and inflammation. [KANDYMAN] I beg your pardon? [DOCTOR] She's come to look at your oven. [KANDYMAN] Has she, indeed? Then she should wait to be asked. Impoliteguests get to feel the back of my candy hand. [DOCTOR] That may be, Kandyman, but the last time we met you said youwere going to kill me. [KANDYMAN] Really, Doctor? Thank you for reminding me. [ACE] I wouldn't give that pimple head a hundred to one against you,Professor. [KANDYMAN] Pimple head? I'm disappointed in you, Doctor. I expected youto choose your friends more carefully. Still, she won't be a friendmuch longer, will she. [DOCTOR] I agree, you are a pimple head. [KANDYMAN] I'm finding this rather tiresome. Heads or tails, Doctor? [DOCTOR] Tails. Well? [KANDYMAN] That would be telling. [DOCTOR] You're playing a dangerous game, Kandyman. That red-hot pokercould cut through you like a knife through butterscotch. [KANDYMAN] I have to bow, however reluctantly, to your logic, whichleaves me only one alternative. [DOCTOR] Quick, Ace. Open the oven door! [ACE] What about the Kandyman? [DOCTOR] Oh, he'll keep. He's full of colouring, flavouring andpreservative. --------------------------------------- (Street) [EARL] Blissful, isn't it, Doctor? Silence. [DOCTOR] Ah, not quite. I can hear the sound of empires toppling. [EARL] And thanks to this lady and her fun gun, she can take out aloudspeaker playing muzak at a hundred paces. [ACE] Can I have a go, Professor? [DOCTOR] Wanton destruction of public property? Certainly not. --------------------------------------- (Kandy Kitchen) [WENCES] Wicked. --------------------------------------- (Helen A's office) [DAISY] No reply. [HELEN] He must still be in the Kandy Kitchen. [DAISY] I've already tried there. [HELEN] Try it again. [HELEN] I wonder where he can be? --------------------------------------- (Execution yard) [JOSEPH] Close to the Kandyman, were you? [GILBERT] I made him. [JOSEPH] Really? How very interesting. [GILBERT] Only his body. His mind was very much his own. [JOSEPH] I certainly don't recall the chap ever arriving. [GILBERT] He was born in the Kandy Kitchen. [JOSEPH] Whereas you came from Vasilip, if memory serves. [GILBERT] I was exiled from Vasilip. I brought his bones here in asuitcase. [JOSEPH] Exiled, you say? [GILBERT] I made a mistake. I was working in the state laboratories.Without realising it, I invented a deadly new germ. The disease wipedout nearly half the population. [JOSEPH] Still, hardly your fault. Can't you just pack him up and startagain? [GILBERT] Not this time. He's better off this way. The Kandyman's gone. --------------------------------------- (Helen A's home) [DAISY] Will you be away long? [HELEN] Away? [DAISY] You're packing a case. I assume [HELEN] Why should I be going away? [DAISY] I just thought. The situation here. [HELEN] There's nothing wrong, is there, Daisy K? [DAISY] No, of course not. Everything's fine. [TANNOY] Happiness will prevail. One hundred and twelve factories havenow fallen to the rebels as they continue their drive westwards. [HELEN] As you said, Daisy K. Everything's fine. I'm happy. [DAISY] I'm glad you're happy. --------------------------------------- (Pipe) [ACE] Are we under the palace now? [DOCTOR] Yes, this is where we get in. [DOCTOR] Okay, Wences, this is the point at which we must say goodbye. [WULFRIC] Doctor [DOCTOR] No protests. Soon you'll be back in the sugar fields. [ACE] Something's taking off. [DOCTOR] Yes. It sounds like a shuttle. --------------------------------------- (Helen A's office) [HELEN] Gilbert M! [GILBERT [on screen]] It's all working quite beautifully, Helen A, asyou can see. A masterful piece of engineering, even though I say somyself. [HELEN] You betrayed me! [GILBERT [on screen]] My only complaint is the company. I don't know howyou put up with it. [HELEN] How did you get into my escape shuttle? [GILBERT [on screen]] That's what I was saying. The captain let me in. [HELEN] Who is this captain? Let me see him. [JOSEPH [on screen]] Goodbye, dear. [HELEN] What are you doing there? You're supposed to be waiting forFifi. [JOSEPH [on screen]] Really, dear? It must have slipped my mind. [DOCTOR] Ah, I was looking for Helen A. Perhaps you could tell her [DAISY] You're too late, Doctor. She's gone. But I'm delighted to seeyou. [DOCTOR] Susan Q. Who taught you to shoot like that? [SUSAN] She did. [DOCTOR] Oh, thank you, Daisy K. [ACE] You all right, Professor? [DOCTOR] Splendid. [ACE] Hello, faceache. [SUSAN] Yeah, no more lift music. [EARL] Unless it sounds like this. --------------------------------------- (Street) [DOCTOR] You can't get away, Helen A. [HELEN] There's a scheduled flight in an hour. You can't stop me,Doctor. [DOCTOR] Oh, I know I can't, but it's not me you're running away from. [HELEN] Who is it, then? [DOCTOR] Yourself. That's why you'll never escape. [HELEN] They didn't understand me. [DOCTOR] Oh, they understood you only too well. That's why they resistedyou. [HELEN] I only wanted the best for them. [DOCTOR] The best? Prisons? Death squads? Executions? [HELEN] They only came later. I told them to be happy, but they wouldn'tlisten. I gave them every chance. Oh, I know they laughed sometimes,but they still cried, they still wept. [DOCTOR] Don't you ever feel like weeping, Helen A? [HELEN] Of course not, Doctor. It's unnecessary, and those thatpersisted had to be punished. [DOCTOR] Why? [HELEN] For the good of the majority. For the ones that wanted to behappy, who wanted to take the opportunities that I gave them. [DOCTOR] What were these opportunities you gave them? A bag of sweets? Afew tawdry party games? Bland, soulless music? Do these things make youhappy? Of course they don't. Because they're cosmetic. Happiness isnothing unless it exists side by side with sadness. [DOCTOR] Two sides, one coin. [HELEN] You can keep your coin, Doctor, and your sadness. I'll gosomewhere else. I'll find somewhere where there is no sadness. A placewhere people know how to enjoy themselves. [DOCTOR] I'm sure you will, Helen A. [HELEN] A place where people are strong, where they hold back the tears.A place where people pull themselves together. [DOCTOR] Where there is no compassion. [HELEN] Where there is control. [DOCTOR] A place where there is no love. [HELEN] I always thought love was overrated. [HELEN] Fifi! [DOCTOR] Fifi? [ACE] Shouldn't we do something, Professor? [DOCTOR] 'Tis done. --------------------------------------- (Forum Square) [DAISY] This is all your fault, Priscilla. [PRISCILLA] I'm glad you're happy, Daisy. [DOCTOR] It's been a long night and I think we ought to be off. Whatabout you, Earl? [EARL] Think I'll hang out here for a while, Doc. See if I can teachthis planet the blues again. [SUSAN] Yes, thank you for giving them back to us, Doctor. [DOCTOR] Hmm? [SUSAN] The blues. [DOCTOR] Oh, yes. There are no other colours without the blues. [ACE] Will they be all right, Professor? [DOCTOR] Happiness will prevail.

Wonderful news. --------------------------------------- (Lady Peinforte's home) [RICHARD] Very good, my lady. [PEINFORTE] How much longer? [RICHARD] He cannot hear you, my lady. Shall I [PEINFORTE] Leave him. There'll be time enough to punish hisimpertinence when he's finished. [PEINFORTE] Put this with the others. Are you so very feeble? The poisoncannot harm unless the arrow's tip should break the skin. Let who willsteal my gold. [RICHARD] And the silver arrow, my lady? [PEINFORTE] Leave that to me. You're sure the potion is well mixed? [RICHARD] On my life, ma'am. I guarantee it. [PEINFORTE] Good. We await but the calculation. Perhaps the fee willspeed matters. --------------------------------------- (De Flores's villa) [DE FLORES] Gentlemen. I wonder if even you can fully appreciate whatthis moment means. You're standing now at the turning point of history.The day of fulfillment of our mighty destiny is about to dawn. Fiftyyears ago, I stood at the side of the Fuehrer himself when he orderedthe first giant step to greatness, just as now the moment approachesfor the second and final one. It will be decisive, for this time, thistime we must not fail. Gentlemen, I give you the Fourth Reich. [ALL] The Fourth Reich. [KARL] Herr De Flores, the aircraft is ready. [DE FLORES] We leave at once. --------------------------------------- (Lady Peinforte's home) [RICHARD] My lady, there is but the finalingredient for the liquid wanting. For that I was thinking [MATHEMATICIAN] My lady? Lady Peinforte? I've finished. [PEINFORTE] You have the answer? [MATHEMATICIAN] Yes, my lady. [PEINFORTE] Quickly, then. Tell me. [MATHEMATICIAN] The comet Nemesis will circle the heavens once everytwenty five years. [PEINFORTE] Yes. [MATHEMATICIAN] It's trajectory, however, is decaying. This [PEINFORTE] When will it land? [MATHEMATICIAN] It will circle ever closer until finally it once againstrikes the Earth at the point from which it originally departed, themeadow outside. [PEINFORTE] When? [MATHEMATICIAN] When. Oh, yes. Yes, of course. On the twenty third dayof November in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty eight. --------------------------------------- (Black Jack's Mill - garden) [ACE] I could listen to them all afternoon. [DOCTOR] And so we shall. [ACE] Have you seen this? Charlton picked up three points. [DOCTOR] This is my favourite kind of jazz, straight blowing. [ACE] I hate people whose alarms go off during gigs. [DOCTOR] What's this? It's a reminder. [ACE] Well, go on, then. [DOCTOR] Well, obviously, at this precise moment it's a reminder tochange course for another destination. [ACE] Where's that? [DOCTOR] I've forgotten. Oh, we'll have to go back and find out. [ACE] Oh, Professor. [ACE] Excuse me, would you mind signing my tape? [COURTNEY] Not at all. [ACE] Thanks. [COURTNEY] Okay. [ACE] Bye. [DOCTOR] Don't you find it embarrassing asking for autographs? [ACE] Not as embarrassing as forgetting what you set your alarm for. [DOCTOR] Well, I probably arranged it centuries ago. [ACE] Doctor! [DOCTOR] Get down! [ACE] Who are they? [DOCTOR] Couldn't see. Quick, the Tardis. [ACE] Hope my tape's all right. [DOCTOR] Welcome home. --------------------------------------- (Lady Peinforte's home) [MATHEMATICIAN] I could build a flying machine.Imagine that, my lady. Human beings flying about like birds. [PEINFORTE] Bring the cups of potion. We leave at once. [RICHARD] The final ingredient, my lady? Human blood? [MATHEMATICIAN] Why, I can change the world. [PEINFORTE] Ah, yes. --------------------------------------- (Riverside) [DOCTOR [OC]] Ace! [ACE] Yeah? [DOCTOR [OC]] Duck. [DOCTOR] No, duck. [ACE] Oh, great. Now I can play my tape. [DOCTOR] Afraid not. [ACE] Why not? It's my tape deck. You built it for me. [DOCTOR] Yes, I know I built it for you to replace the one that wasdestroyed by the Daleks, but [ACE] So? It's my tape deck and I want to play this. [DOCTOR] This is more than just a tape deck. And besides, we've more toworry about than just listening to your tape. [ACE] Yeah. So who were they, anyway? Who'd want to kill us? [DOCTOR] I'm afraid there's an infinite number of possibilities. Whatconcerns me more is my alarm. Got to find out what it was supposed tobe. [ACE] Can't you remember anything about it? [DOCTOR] I'm afraid not. Obviously the arrangements were made in rathera hurry. They are important. I've given them a terminal rating. [ACE] Sounds nice. [DOCTOR] It means that some planet somewhere faces imminent destruction. [ACE] Crikey. [DOCTOR] Quite. [DOCTOR] That looks familiar. Earth. --------------------------------------- (Lady Peinforte's home) [PEINFORTE] Afraid? [RICHARD] Yes, my lady. [PEINFORTE] When I employed you, you lead me to believe you were ahardened criminal. [RICHARD] As my lady knows, before I entered your service I was foundguilty of a large number of offences. [PEINFORTE] Then have the courage of your convictions. Drink. Drink! [RICHARD] What's happening, my lady? [PEINFORTE] We are leaving, Richard. Destiny beckons. We ride the backof time. [RICHARD] No. No! No! [PEINFORTE] Come back, you fool. You'll break the aura. [RICHARD] I can't! Please, my lady. I must stay. [PEINFORTE] It's too late. --------------------------------------- (Black Jack's Mill) [RICHARD] Where are we, my lady? [PEINFORTE] Why, the very place we left, of course. My house in Windsor. --------------------------------------- (Riverside) [ACE] You mean the world's going to end and you'veforgotten about it? [DOCTOR] I've been busy. [ACE] How long have you known? [DOCTOR] Well, in strictly linear terms, as the chronometer flies, I'veknown since November the twenty third, 1638. --------------------------------------- (Cellar) [DOCTOR] Hello. Ow! [ACE] Look at all this stuff. [DOCTOR] Yes, that's exactly what we've got to do, look at all thisstuff. You take that aisle. [ACE] What's it all for? [DOCTOR] Presents. [ACE] Nobody gets this many presents. [DOCTOR] Well, if you were a lady who travelled. [ACE] I am. [DOCTOR] Yes, you're not always invited, but you are, you get presents,and then you need somewhere to store them. [ACE] Who does it all belong to? I mean, where are we? [DOCTOR] Windsor. [ACE] Windsor? We're in the castle? [DOCTOR] This is new. [ACE] I thought it'd be a lot posher than this. [DOCTOR] It probably is, upstairs, but we're in the vault. [DOCTOR] I'm looking for a silver bow we want to borrow. [ACE] We can't go nicking stuff in here. [DOCTOR] It's only temporary. [ACE] It's probably treason. I'm too young to go to the Tower. [DOCTOR] Listen, Ace, do I have to remind you that the safety of theworld is at stake? [ACE] It might make a difference if you'd let me know what was going on,Professor, but I suppose there's no time. [DOCTOR] Precisely. [DOCTOR] There's even less time than I thought. Please, let's hurry. --------------------------------------- (Black Jack's Mill) [PEINFORTE] Nemesis. She arrives. --------------------------------------- (Cellar) [ACE] Was that a bomb? [DOCTOR] No, that was the return to Earth of a comet called Nemesis thathas been in orbit for exactly three hundred and fifty years. [ACE] You're amazing, Professor, being able to tell all that just fromthe noise. [DOCTOR] Wasn't difficult, really. It was me who launched it into spacein the first place. This may qualify as the worst miscalculation sincelife crawled out of the seas on this sad planet. [ACE] Nobody's perfect. Hey, is this the bow? --------------------------------------- (Van) [KARL] We're almost at Windsor, Herr De Flores. Shall I let the men walkaround a little? [DE FLORES] No, Karl. We must not keep history waiting. --------------------------------------- (Black Jack's Mill) [RICHARD] My lady, what carriage is that? [PEINFORTE] Hurry. The rogues will have the Nemesis. [RICHARD] I've not seen the like of it before. We must take care. [PEINFORTE] Oh, fie. --------------------------------------- (Van) [DE FLORES] Nemesis has come to Earth on that piece of ground. In thenew era, all this will be a shrine. [KARL] The men are ready in two assault groups. I will remain with you.We await only your order. [DE FLORES] Very good. Let's drive to the best hotel and refreshourselves. [KARL] But Herr De Flores, there are only three policemen. We can takethem now. You young people, always in such a hurry. Well, we were thesame. Now, the statue is inside the meteor, which has just travelledthrough space. Have you any idea how hot it will be? How can we handleit? Since the British Government is completely unaware of its power,I'm sure we can rely on the police force to guard it safely until we'reready to collect it. I have every confidence in them. --------------------------------------- (Cellar) [DOCTOR] The bow was in the case. [ACE] Ah. This case contained the bow of Nemesis, property of the Crown,which disappeared mysteriously in 1788. Legend has it that unless aplace is kept for the bow in the Castle, the entire silver statue willreturn to destroy the world. [DOCTOR] For once legend is absolutely correct. It has just returned. [DOCTOR] Oh, now this. [ACE] It's just the electricity. [ACE] It does that sometimes, even in the 1980s. What I want to know is,how can a statue destroy the world? [DOCTOR] I'll tell you three hundred and fifty years ago. --------------------------------------- (Lady Peinforte's home) [DOCTOR] Shush. [ACE] Sorry, Professor. [DOCTOR] There might be someone at home. [ACE] Okay, Professor. So where are we now? [DOCTOR] Windsor, of course. Only a few hundred yards from the Castle. [ACE] And is it really 1638? [DOCTOR] It certainly is. And furthermore, don't move. [ACE] What? [DOCTOR] Stay where you are. [ACE] What is it? [DOCTOR] Something you don't want to see. [ACE] Who does this house belong to, anyway? [DOCTOR] A lady. [ACE] She's got funny ideas about home furnishings. [DOCTOR] Lady Peinforte's nothing if not original. I'm afraid this poorman was employed for his useful rather than his ornamental qualities.He's a scholar. He's done remarkably well. In a matter of months sinceI was last here, he's calculated the exact time and date when a cometcalled Nemesis will land on this planet. The twenty third of November. [ACE] 1988. [DOCTOR] And Lady Peinforte's rewarded him with her usual generosity. [ACE] So the bow belonged to her? [DOCTOR] Hmm? Oh, no, no. Not to her. To a statue of her. She made thestatue from the silver metal that fell out of the sky into that meadowout there. [DOCTOR] Hmm, this game is going rather badly. [ACE] Professor. [DOCTOR] Don't worry. There's no one here now, apart from our latefriend. Lady Peinforte's around all right, in Windsor, but threehundred and fifty years in the future. --------------------------------------- (Crash site) [RICHARD] What means yon fellows? One speaks into his hand. [PEINFORTE] He summons guards. Oh, this cannot be. [RICHARD] Why so upset, my lady? [PEINFORTE] Because, fool, they will protect the Nemesis, and we knownot their strength and weapons. [RICHARD] But, my lady, they know not what the comet is. Without thearrow, it is nothing. We must but watch and wait our chance to seizeit. [PEINFORTE] Thou art not in all wise so useless, Richard. [RICHARD] My lady is too kind. [PEINFORTE] We shall withdraw and conceal ourselves. [POLICEMAN] Three one eight to base. Hey look, there's someone inside. --------------------------------------- (Lady Peinforte's home) [ACE] How can she get to 1988? [DOCTOR] She uses the silver arrow, of course, and she had some basicrudimentary knowledge about time travel. Black magic, mostly. [ACE] Black magic? [DOCTOR] Mmm, and what you might call a nose for secrets. [DOCTOR] Oh, dear. [ACE] So it wasn't just silver, this stuff that fell from the sky? [DOCTOR] Unfortunately, Lady Peinforte discovered it was somethingrather more unusual. A living metal. Validium. [ACE] Living metal? [DOCTOR] Yes, with just one purpose. Destruction. [ACE] But if you launched it into space, how come it's capable ofdestruction? [DOCTOR] Later, Ace. --------------------------------------- (Crash site) [POLICEMAN] Don't bother trying again, it looks like the battery's dead. [POLICEMAN] Hello? Hello? --------------------------------------- (Windsor Castle) [GUIDE] You see here the guard. They're changed quite regularly. Ofcourse, they're only changed in winter time. They normally stand hereall the time in summer time. Now, will you follow me, please, ladiesand gentlemen? [ACE] I've been here before. [DOCTOR] Déjà vu? [ACE] No, with the school. [DOCTOR] Oh, very droll. I haven't been here since they were buildingthe place. You remember the way around? [ACE] Not really. Windsor Castle's a big place. [DOCTOR] Quite right. What we need's a guide. Come on. [GUIDE] Tower, and also further over there is the Mary Tudor Tower.Those gargoyles have been there for about five hundred years. They werebuilt in 1509 originally, and the --------------------------------------- (Courtyard) [ACE] I really don't think we should be doing this. [DOCTOR] This way? What do you think? [ACE] I don't know. I might be able to tell if I actually knew where wewere going. We didn't actually cover the Royal residential areas on theschool trip. There's someone coming. [DOCTOR] Act as if you own the place. [ACE] Do what? [DOCTOR] It always works. We own the place. [ACE] Doctor! [DOCTOR] How annoying. I can't place that woman for the life of me. [ACE] Doctor! [DOCTOR] It's all right, Ace. I know that woman from somewhere. [DOCTOR [OC]] What! Why didn't you say something? [ACE [OC]] You wouldn't let me. [DOCTOR] She's just the woman we need. Quick, after her. Ah ha! --------------------------------------- (Landing) [DOCTOR] It'll be very useful to have the armedforces and the police on our side, and can you suggest a better personto ask? [ACE] Come on. [DOCTOR] There's no alternative. --------------------------------------- (Crash site) [RICHARD] I am in a nightmare, or mad. [PEINFORTE] This is no madness. Tis England. [RICHARD] But the noise, lady. The foul air. [RICHARD] Yes, my lady. What will my lady do when you possess theNemesis? [PEINFORTE] Why, first have revenge on that predictable little man. Hewill soon arrive, Richard. Oh yes, I expect him. This time there'll bea reckoning with the nameless Doctor whose power is so secret, for Ihave found his secret out. In good time, I will speak it. I shall behis downfall. --------------------------------------- (Landing) [DOCTOR] I've got to speak to her. [SECURITY] Be quiet. We'll have a doctor here soon. [DOCTOR] But I am a doctor! [SECURITY] Don't get excited. How did you get in here? [DOCTOR] I could tell you, but you won't believe me. [SECURITY] Try me. [DOCTOR] I travelled through time and space. [SECURITY] Oh dear, oh dear. [DOCTOR] Oh yes, very well, then. Let's forget about the armed forces. [ACE] But the Queen? [SECURITY] Are you a patient with him? [ACE] Now, you'd better listen to him, weasel features, 'cos he's theDoctor. [SECURITY] Oh, is he? [DOCTOR] Listen, the fate of every living creature on this planet hangsin the balance. [SECURITY] I don't believe you. [DOCTOR] You will believe me. You will let us go. You will not move. (toAce) You will move. [ACE] How did you do that? [DOCTOR] It's easy once you know how. You have to make a spectacle ofyourself. [SECURITY] Hey! [DOCTOR] Only trouble is, it doesn't last long. --------------------------------------- (Gallery) [DOCTOR] Oh look, a Van Dyck. [ACE] Not now, Doctor. [ACE] Pardon me, pardon me, pardon me. [SECURITY] Excuse me. --------------------------------------- (Staircase) [ACE] What now? [DOCTOR] Back to the Tardis. We're obviously not going to get any helphere. [ACE] Professor, that's me. [DOCTOR] What? Gosh, so it is. My goodness, what a good likeness. [ACE] How come I ended up here? [DOCTOR] Well, it hasn't happened yet. [ACE] But it's two hundred years ago. [DOCTOR] I know. We haven't done it. That's why you don't remember it. [ACE] It doesn't make sense. [DOCTOR] Well, it did to Louis Armstrong, but then he really understoodtime. [SECURITY] There they are. Come on. --------------------------------------- (Crash site) [KARL] Herr De Flores, I don't understand how the police have alreadybeen overcome. [DE FLORES] That is of no importance. All that matters is the Nemesis issafe. [DE FLORES] Your strength returns. Soon you will be completely restored.But where's the arrow? The arrow, where is it? [DE FLORES] Find it. Find it! [DOCTOR] I only hope we're not to late. [DOCTOR] Er, don't be afraid. We won't harm you. [KARL] How did you get here? I searched that section, there was no onethere. [DE FLORES] Never mind, Karl. You will see many signs and wonders in thedays to come. Give me the arrow of Nemesis. [DOCTOR] Fortunately, I haven't seen it since 1638, when it disappearedalong with the good Lady Peinforte. [DE FLORES] Rubbish. You. Where is the arrow? [ACE] I don't know anything about it. [DOCTOR] She really doesn't. Allow me to explain, Ace. [DOCTOR] For the validium to become active, it must have a sufficientquantity of critical mass. The statue alone is no good without the bow. [DE FLORES] I have the bow. [DOCTOR] And the arrow. Now, if someone could put the bow and arrow intothe statue's hands [DE FLORES] They have the power of life and death, not only over thisEarth but any planet in existence. You seem remarkably well-informedfor someone who claims to know nothing. [DOCTOR] I simply notice what is obvious. You, apparently, don't. [DE FLORES] What do you mean? [DOCTOR] You see those policemen there? They've been attacked bytechnology more advanced and more terrible than you could imagine. [KARL] What technology? [DOCTOR] And you might also have observed the electricity supply beingdrained over the last few days. [ACE] Like at the Castle? [DOCTOR] Yes. [DE FLORES] Tell me where the arrow is. I want you to tell me where tofind the arrow! [DOCTOR] I'm glad to say I can't. [DE FLORES] Then we will shoot her. [ACE] Doctor. [DE FLORES] Wait. [DOCTOR] Don't move! [ACE] They saved my life. [DOCTOR] Don't thank them yet. We might live to regret it. [ACE] What are they? [DOCTOR] Cybermen. --------------------------------------- (Crash site) [LEADER] So, Doctor, a new appearance, otherwiseour anticipation of your presence has proved entirely accurate. [LEADER] Eradicate them. [DOCTOR] Take cover. [ACE] Doctor! [ACE] Doctor, we can't stay here. [DOCTOR] We certainly can. This exactly the same thing that happened thelast time. Only then it was the Roundheads and Lady Peinforte. [PEINFORTE] A hit. A very palpable hit. [PEINFORTE] See how my poison is as deadly as ever, Richard. [RICHARD] And I shall look after the sick. Which reminds me, I shallreturn to Briggs his money. [PEINFORTE] Get up, fool. I tell thee, Richard, were there men of silverlike these here in our day, my life would have been quite different.Now I'll let them destroy each other, and then we'll take the Nemesis. [DOCTOR] Where did that come from? [ACE] Didn't see. [DOCTOR] A Cyberman killed with an arrow? But that's ludicrous, unless.Of course, the head's made of gold. [ACE] That's real gold? [DOCTOR] Yes. The only substance to which they're vulnerable. [ACE] Classy. [DOCTOR] Ah! Gold dipped in poison. Lady Peinforte's calling card. [ACE] I really think we should be getting out of here, Doctor. [DOCTOR] I really think you're right. [RICHARD] My lady, who is that little man? [PEINFORTE] Oh, glorious evil. It is he. [PEINFORTE] No! [DE FLORES] We must retreat. It's our only chance. [KARL] And leave the statue? [DE FLORES] The statue alone is useless to them. The bow is ours. Getit. [LEADER] Bring the bow at once. [CYBERMAN] The Doctor and the female have escaped with it, Leader. [LEADER] And that one? [CYBERMAN] Terminated by another human female, using gold. [LEADER] This must be the Lady Peinforte. --------------------------------------- (Windsor town) [RICHARD] My lady, there are people here. [PEINFORTE] Of course there are people. This is Windsor. Come. --------------------------------------- (Warehouse) [LEADER] Cut the statue free and take it into the craft. --------------------------------------- (Lady Peinforte's home) [ACE] I don't like this place. [DOCTOR] We're just passing through, Ace. [ACE] What happened to the body? It's gone. [DOCTOR] Yes. Someone's moved the chess pieces. [DOCTOR] Voila! [ACE] Is that what we came here for? [DOCTOR] Our friend the mathematician was a genius, but he needed alittle help to get started. [DOCTOR] Cold? [ACE] I really don't like this place. Can we make a move? [DOCTOR] Yes. --------------------------------------- (Van) [KARL] What is the gold dust for, Herr De Flores? [DE FLORES] Eventualities. --------------------------------------- (Windsor Great Park) [DOCTOR] Validium was created as the ultimate defence for Gallifrey,back in early times. [ACE] Created by Omega? [DOCTOR] Yes. [ACE] And? [DOCTOR] Rassilon. [ACE] And? [DOCTOR] And none of it should have left Gallifrey. But, as always withthese things, some of it did. [ACE] So you had to stop Lady Peinforte. [DOCTOR] Or anyone else. [ACE] From ever putting the three bits together. [DOCTOR] Yes, so I launched the largest piece into space. [ACE] But you got the sums wrong. [DOCTOR] Look. We're almost there. [ACE] I'd feel a lot safer and happier inside the Tardis. [DOCTOR] Well, the Cybermen might find the Tardis. This way, ourvalidium leads us to their validium. [ACE] Isn't that a bit old-fashioned? [DOCTOR] I'm an old-fashioned guy. --------------------------------------- (Windsor town) [SKINHEAD] You looking at me? [PEINFORTE] Stand aside. [SKINHEAD 2] What are you, social workers? [RICHARD] Out of my lady's way. [SKINHEAD] We want to tell you our problems. [PEINFORTE] Will you be turned into rats? [SKINHEAD 2] We already have been. [SKINHEAD] Poor ones. That's our problem. [SKINHEAD 2] Money! [RICHARD] Money, say you? --------------------------------------- (Crypt) [CYBERMAN] The remaining validium approaches, Leader. [LEADER] As predicted. Activate communications unit. [CYBERMAN] But the Doctor and Peinforte are still to be destroyed. [LEADER] Our victory is inevitable. The Doctor will come to us, andPeinforte is a simple savage accompanied by a terrified peasant. --------------------------------------- (Windsor Great Park) [ACE] What am I supposed to be listening for? [DOCTOR] That. Cybermen communicating. [ACE] I don't like Cybermen. [DOCTOR] You should see the ones they're communicating with. [ACE] Reinforcements? [DOCTOR] Yes. But if we could only jam their signal. Have you got atape? [ACE] Yeah. You mean this thing transmits? [DOCTOR] Of course it does. I built it. --------------------------------------- (Crypt) [LEADER] Commence transmission. [CYBERMAN] Leader, I must repeat the objection to the transmission ofincorrect information. Our forces do not yet hold all three units ofvalidium. [LEADER] You are outside your function. --------------------------------------- (Windsor Great Park) [DOCTOR] Are we having fun? [ACE] Yeah. --------------------------------------- (Crypt) [CYBERMAN] Interference, origin unknown. [LEADER] Open the monitor channel. --------------------------------------- (Windsor Great Park) [ACE] That'll keep them busy. Time to go? [DOCTOR] Oh, I do love a jam session. [DOCTOR] This is ridiculous. Who did this to you? [SKINHEAD] Social workers. --------------------------------------- (Outside the Crypt) [RICHARD] My lady. [PEINFORTE] Of course I heard it. Am I deaf? [RICHARD] It sounds like a bear, but worse. [PEINFORTE] See, we're near the Nemesis. Come. The bear will not pursueus. Such things happen only in the theatre. [RICHARD] What creatures are these? [PEINFORTE] I know not. [RICHARD] They will eat us. I beg you, my lady, return us to our owntime. The England now is full of terrors. [PEINFORTE] You're mad! Return without the Nemesis? Never. And withoutmy knowledge, you cannot return at all. I tell you, Richard, either youassist me to regain it or I leave thee here forever. Now, come. I thinkthey are peaceful. [RICHARD] What place, what place is this? [PEINFORTE] The piece of ground on which you stand? Well, I will tellthee. It is thy grave, Richard. [RICHARD] What? [PEINFORTE] I ordered you to be buried here when I planned my tomb. See,there's thy stone. [PEINFORTE] If the dogs would not eat thee, I ordered you put out hereto attend me in the next world as in this. There you see is my burialplace, and aptly the silver creatures there do hold the Nemesis. Weshall attack. [DOCTOR] Just in time. --------------------------------------- (Crypt) [RICHARD] There's nothing here, my lady. [PEINFORTE] See the arrow? The statue's here, depend upon it. --------------------------------------- (Outside the Crypt) [LEADER] Now our plan begins to operate. She willfind that her crypt has weathered with age. The fact of her death willdrive her insane. --------------------------------------- (Crypt) [RICHARD] This is your tomb? [PEINFORTE] Rather fine, is it not? But where is the statue of Nemesis? --------------------------------------- (Outside the Crypt) [PEINFORTE [OC]] Where is it? Where? [CYBERMAN] Is this the human condition of madness, Leader? [LEADER] It is. Kill them. [PEINFORTE [OC]] It must be here. It must be! --------------------------------------- (Crypt) [RICHARD] My lady! [PEINFORTE] It is here! The arrow tells me. How can this be? Where?Where is it? --------------------------------------- (Outside the Crypt) [CYBERMAN] Gold! --------------------------------------- (Van) [DE FLORES] This was once the estate of the infamous Lady Peinforte, inthe seventeenth century. [KARL] Lady Peinforte? But Herr De Flores, we've seen a woman inseventeenth century dress today, firing arrows at us and at men ofsilver. [DE FLORES] Shut up. --------------------------------------- (Outside the spacecraft) [DOCTOR] I don't suppose you've completely ignored my instructions andsecretly prepared any Nitro Nine, have you? [ACE] What if I had? [DOCTOR] Naturally you wouldn't do anything so insanely dangerous as tocarry it around with you, would you? [ACE] Of course not. I'm a good girl. I do what I'm told. [DOCTOR] Excellent. Blow up that vehicle. --------------------------------------- (Outside the Crypt) [LEADER] Destroy them. Destroy them! [CYBERMAN] We cannot sustain these losses, Leader. We must withdraw. [LEADER] No. We must hold the statue and retrieve the arrow from them. [CYBERMAN] If we are overcome, the entire strategy fails. The Cyber racewill cease to exist. [LEADER] Your logic is correct. Their supply of gold is limited.Retreat. --------------------------------------- (Crypt) [PEINFORTE] Of course. Help me, Richard. Tis in mytomb. Help me! --------------------------------------- (Outside the spacecraft) [DOCTOR] Hello, I'm the Doctor! I believe you want to kill me. --------------------------------------- (Outside the Crypt) [LEADER] Betrayal. Kill them. [ACE] They killed them, just cos I blew up the ship. [DOCTOR] They were dead already. The Cybermen had transformed them. Theywere no longer human beings. [ACE] Is that why the Cybermen saved my life, so they could do that tome too? [DOCTOR] Probably. They were like people themselves before they turnedthemselves into Cybermen. Quite a lot of human beings are trying tofollow their example. --------------------------------------- (Crypt) [RICHARD] My lady, where are your bones? [PEINFORTE] What matter? --------------------------------------- (Windsor Great Park) [DOCTOR] Are we still jamming them? [ACE] Tape's still running. [DOCTOR] Good. Let's see who's listening to it. [DOCTOR] Ah, sweet. --------------------------------------- (Clearing) [DE FLORES] We want to talk to you. I don't know if you're familiar withWagner's Ring das Nibelungen. Now we, we are the supermen, but you, youare the giants. They are wonderful creatures. [LEADER] Of course, but why should we form an alliance with you? [DE FLORES] We had a leader once. He predicted your coming. Now togetherwe shall fulfil his vision and reign over this world. [LEADER] Together? The Cyber race requires no help from humans. [KARL] But a woman who is almost less that human now holds the statue. [DE FLORES] And she's armed with the most primitive toys. [LEADER] You insult us. [DE FLORES] Of course not. Whatever your unfortunate vulnerabilitydoesn't affect us. We can remove her for you. [LEADER] We accept. Destroy the woman and her servant, and we willdivide the planet into your slave groups and ours. [DE FLORES] Good. [LEADER] But remember, betrayal will be fatal. We are invincible to yourweapons. [DE FLORES] Come with me. [LEADER] Once they have the arrow and the statue, destroy them. --------------------------------------- (Windsor Great Park) [DOCTOR] Anything there? [ACE] Why am I doing this? [DOCTOR] That handful back there aren't the only Cybermen in theuniverse. We've got to find out where the others are. [ACE] Look, this is where the signal's being received, right? [DOCTOR] Right. [ACE] But according to the scanner there's nothing there. [DOCTOR] Then the scanner's wrong. That lot were only the advance party.Out there somewhere's the entire Cyberforce, and they want the Nemesismore than anything else in space. [ACE] How can you be so sure? [DOCTOR] Because it's 1988. [ACE] Huh. That makes sense. [DOCTOR] Listen, Ace. The Nemesis generates destruction. It affectseverything around it. I launched it into space, but unfortunately withan orbit that brings it back to Earth every twenty five years. Take thetwentieth century. It appeared in 1913. [ACE] The eve of the First World War. [DOCTOR] Twenty five years later? [ACE] 1938. [DOCTOR] Hitler annexes Austria. [ACE] 1963? [DOCTOR] Kennedy assassinated. [ACE] 1988. [DOCTOR] Check the scanner again. [DE FLORES] Unfortunately, Wagner must be rewritten. The supermen mustcontrol the giants. Only two illiterates stand between ourselves andthe Fuhrer's dream. Come. --------------------------------------- (Crypt) [PEINFORTE] How perfect you are. Immaculate beauty carved in absoluteevil. [RICHARD] But your bones, my lady? They should be buried [PEINFORTE] What matter? They are dead, but I live, and soon I shallhave the bow and my Nemesis shall be complete. [PEINFORTE] We are attacked! Quickly, arrows. [RICHARD] We have but one left, my lady. I doubt that our arrows canstop these weapons anyway. [PEINFORTE] Nonsense. Make it count. They killed the silver creatures. [RICHARD] See, lady, we have no chance! [PEINFORTE] Nonsense. No man shall take the Nemesis. Her might is mine! [PEINFORTE] Not for nothing did I design my own tomb. Death is but adoor. [PEINFORTE] I always knew I'd cheat it. Here, help me with the statue. [RICHARD] We can't lift it, my lady. We must fly! [KARL] Put up your hands. [PEINFORTE] Never! [RICHARD] You want the statue, master? Here, take it. Take it. [PEINFORTE] No! [RICHARD] Give her the arrow. See! [RICHARD] Forgive me, my lady. [PEINFORTE] Unhand me now! [PEINFORTE [OC]] No! [DE FLORES] No matter, Karl, no matter. They are of no importance. Wehave the statue, the arrow, and the bow. [KARL] And the Cybermen? [DE FLORES] Gold overcomes them. We have no such weakness. See how itprepares for life. Your first task must be to take control of theextraterrestrials. [LEADER] Unfortunately, that will not be possible. [DE FLORES] Keep away. I possess the entire statue of Nemesis. All poweris mine. The life and death of everything in existence is in my hands. [LEADER] Then where is the bow? --------------------------------------- (Windsor Great Park) [DOCTOR] Of course. It's so simple. They're shrouded. [ACE] You what? [DOCTOR] Shrouded. They don't show up. But we must try and force theminto revealing themselves. Treble. Bass. Please let me be right. Isanyone listening? Balance. [ACE] What are they? [DOCTOR] Cyber warships. Thousands of them. They were invisible. --------------------------------------- (Windsor Great Park) [ACE] What can we do? [DOCTOR] I think our best move is to go to the crypt, unarmed, with thebow. [ACE] Professor, are you losing your marbles? [DOCTOR] We've got to get the bow into the statue's hands in order toactivate the validium. [ACE] Is this the only way? [DOCTOR] I believe in the direct approach. You can always go back to theTardis. [ACE] Are we going or what? --------------------------------------- (Crypt) [DE FLORES] Surely we, er, we can negotiate this er, thismisunderstanding? [LEADER] Our understanding is perfect. You thought you had all threecomponents of the statue, and naturally wished to destroy us. [KARL] You are completely mistaken. [LEADER] Silence. [CYBERMAN] Validium activity indicates proximity of the bow, Leader. [LEADER] Excellent. Kill them. --------------------------------------- (Outside the Crypt) [KARL] Herr De Flores. [DE FLORES] You fool, they're going to kill us. [KARL] Your day is over. [DE FLORES] You betray me? Have I taught you nothing? [KARL] Everything. Which is why we now part company. I'm afraid youfailed to understand history in addition to Wagner. [DE FLORES] I? [KARL] Supermen are all very well, but the giants are the master race. [KARL] Here he is. Now make me one of you. [LEADER] You show potential. Very well. Have them programmed at once. [LEADER] We must complete the statue immediately. Locate the bow.Destroy the Doctor and his young friend. [RICHARD] How is it with you, my lady? [PEINFORTE] I understand not. [RICHARD] What's to understand? [PEINFORTE] Always I have treated you badly. I have done you no service,shown you no kindness, and yet you risk your life to save me. Why so? [RICHARD] Should I not? [PEINFORTE] I do not live in the world of what should. But you're a goodman, Richard, and I am evil. [RICHARD] My lady, we have no more weapons. [PEINFORTE] No, you're wrong. I have one more yet that will not fail. Myknowledge. I will have the statue of Nemesis. --------------------------------------- (Windsor Great Park) [ACE] Doctor. [DOCTOR] Ace? [ACE] Look, let's be honest, right? I've never really bottled out ofanything before, have I, but I'm really, really scared, Doctor. [DOCTOR] Oh, Ace. I'm sorry. Forgive me. Why don't you go back to theTardis? You'll be safe there, whatever happens. [ACE] No chance, Doctor. No chance. --------------------------------------- (Crypt) [CYBERMAN] The Cyberfleet are still not receiving our transmission,Leader. [LEADER] Is there any pattern to the jamming signal? [CYBERMAN] It is meaningless. [CYBERMAN] Communication channels to the Cyberfleet are clear again,Leader. [LEADER] Excellent. Their arrival is imminent. [DE FLORES] You fool. Without the bow the statue's power is nothing. [LEADER] We will shortly obtain the bow. [DE FLORES] From the Doctor? Don't delude yourself. He is no commonadversary. Do you think he'll simply walk in here and hand it over? [DOCTOR] Good afternoon. [LEADER] Doctor. [DOCTOR] Yes, here we are. I'm sorry we couldn't have been here earlier,but we were held up on the way. I don't believe you've met my friendAce. [LEADER] Give me the bow. [DOCTOR] Cyberleader moves pawn to discover check. [ACE] Ace replies by neatly castling with the bow. [LEADER] Give me the bow. [DOCTOR] Doctor en passant behind Cyberleader. [LEADER] Give me the bow! [DOCTOR] Doctor supports combination gambit. [LEADER] Take the bow from him. [DOCTOR] Middle game element with Cybermen. [LEADER] Kill him! [DOCTOR] End game. Illegal move, but checkmate! [DOCTOR] That seems to be in order. [DOCTOR] Run! --------------------------------------- (Outside the Crypt) [DOCTOR] The Tardis. [ACE] No statue? [DOCTOR] Now it's awake, it'll follow the bow. --------------------------------------- (Windsor Great Park) [PEINFORTE] Fear not, Richard. It is the Nemesis come alive. [RICHARD] Alive? [PEINFORTE] Why, yes. Which means it is complete, and now it shall bemine. [PEINFORTE] All power, all power past, present and future, shall bemine. Why, I shall be mistress of all of that is, all that shall be,all that ever was. Yes, all! All! [RICHARD] My lady, let us find some shelter. [PEINFORTE] How dare you! I shall lead and you follow! --------------------------------------- (Lady Peinforte's home) [ACE] Hey, why are we here? What's going on, Professor? [DOCTOR] Unfinished business. We don't want those to fall into the wronghands, just yet. [ACE] How's the game going? [DOCTOR] Black's losing. [ACE] What happens to these calculations? [DOCTOR] Bishop takes rook. Someone steals them. [ACE] The same person who steals the bow? I mean, the same person whosteals it in 1788? [DOCTOR] How should I know, Ace? Questions, questions. Queen takesbishop. [ACE] Who brought validium to Earth in the first place? [DOCTOR] But pawn takes queen. [ACE] What's really going on, Doctor? [DOCTOR] Checkmate. Black wins. Time to go. Take those gold coins. Wemay need them. --------------------------------------- (Road) [PEINFORTE] We needs must walk, Richard. We have no carriage. [RICHARD] We can avail ourselves of one of these steeds, my lady. I seethe method. Sit you here and rest awhile. --------------------------------------- (Crypt) [LEADER] The Doctor must not lead the statue backto the rocket sleds. We will stop him. --------------------------------------- (Warehouse) [DOCTOR] Ah. Now, the statue should be here any moment now. Everythingdepends on my final calculations. I can't get my figures wrong thistime. [ACE] It's okay, Professor. I promise not to interrupt you. [DOCTOR] You are interrupting me. [ACE] Sorry. [DOCTOR] There's also another slight problem. The Cybermen could be hereat any moment. [ACE] Don't worry, Doctor. I'll look after you. [DOCTOR] Aim at the chest panel. And I trust you remember my strictinstructions never to cause any further explosions? [ACE] I'm a better person as a result, Doctor. [DOCTOR] Good. We're ready for anything. --------------------------------------- (Road) [PEINFORTE] All will be mine. --------------------------------------- (Limousine) [REMINGTON] Er, Cyril, honey, pull the automobile over. There's somepeople there who could use a lift. [REMINGTON] Where are you folks headed? [RICHARD] To Windsor, and it please you, ma'am. [REMINGTON] It surely does, honey. Jump right in. --------------------------------------- (Crypt) [KARL] Herr De Flores, your day is over. [DE FLORES] (laughs) You betray me. Have I taught you nothing. [KARL] We completely deceived them, Herr De Flores. [DE FLORES] Even I thought for a moment we were finished. I am notafraid of death, only of failing in my duty. --------------------------------------- (Warehouse) [DOCTOR] Now, ah yes, the bow. The bow. The bow is essential. You shallhave the bow. --------------------------------------- (Limousine) [REMINGTON] You must be parched from standing inthe sun. May I offer you a little refreshment? [RICHARD] Thank you, no, madam. [REMINGTON] Oh. Are you folks students? [RICHARD] Alas, I am but a servant, and cannot read or write. [REMINGTON] Oh. [RICHARD] My mistress is of noble birth, and has some Latin and a littleGreek. [REMINGTON] Well, you must be on vacation at this time. [RICHARD] Go you far, ma'am? [REMINGTON] Far? Oh, I just came over from London. [RICHARD] Two days ride. [REMINGTON] Well, no, actually the traffic was pretty reasonable. I leftabout, let's see, forty minutes ago. [RICHARD] Forty minutes? [REMINGTON] Folks from the south are never in a hurry. As a matter offact, I'm here on a visit, checking out my roots. [RICHARD] Tis wise with crops this time of year, ma'am. [REMINGTON] Oh. --------------------------------------- (Warehouse) [NEMESIS] I am beautiful, am I not? [ACE] Yes. You're very beautiful. [NEMESIS] It is only my present form. I have had others which wouldhorrify you. I shall have those again. You are surprised I speak? [ACE] I know you're living metal. [NEMESIS] I am whatever I am made to be. This time Lady Peinforte calledme Nemesis, so I am retribution. [ACE] Catch you later. --------------------------------------- (Limousine) [REMINGTON] Well, my family came from around here.I traced them all the way back to the sixteen hundreds. [PEINFORTE] All things will soon be mine. [REMINGTON] I guess they will, honey. [PEINFORTE] Time past, present and future. Power invincible. --------------------------------------- (Warehouse) [LEADER] Destroy the human female. Find and destroy her! --------------------------------------- (Limousine) [PEINFORTE] The secret of the heavens. [REMINGTON] Virginia is heaven, if you ask me. My family owns a littleland there. They used to own a little land around here, too. TheRemingtons of Remington Grange. [PEINFORTE] I know them. Thieves and swindlers all. [REMINGTON] You study history? [PEINFORTE] Dorothea Remington did bribe away my cook. [REMINGTON] Oh. Now, let me see. Yes, there was a Dorothea. She died insixteen [PEINFORTE] Twenty one. Twas a slow poison. [REMINGTON] This is unbelievable. [PEINFORTE] Many found it so. [REMINGTON] Here I am, driving around, and I pick up someone who'sresearched my family tree. [PEINFORTE] We ride to destiny. [REMINGTON] We surely do, honey. We surely do. --------------------------------------- (Warehouse) [DOCTOR] And now, we'll set the rockets for the correct projection, andthen you will be on course for the Cyberfleet. [ACE] Why? You're going to kill me anyway. [LEADER] We detect only one more piece of gold. [ACE] Correct. So who'll be next, and who'll be lucky? [LEADER] Kill her. [DOCTOR] The rockets are now locked in to a destination. Now, let's seehow the Cyberfleet is progressing. [DOCTOR] Right on course. [NEMESIS] And I'm to destroy the entire Cyberfleet? [DOCTOR] Forever. [NEMESIS] And then? [DOCTOR] Reform. [NEMESIS] You might need me in the future, then? [DOCTOR] I hope not. [NEMESIS] That is what you said before. [DOCTOR] Enough. [NEMESIS] And after this, will I have my freedom? [DOCTOR] Not yet. [NEMESIS] When? [DOCTOR] I told you when. [DOCTOR] Things are still imperfect. [DOCTOR] Stop! Harm her in the slightest, and I will destroy this bow! [CYBERMAN] Give us the bow, Doctor. [DOCTOR] No. [CYBERMAN] We shall simply take it and kill you both. [DOCTOR] Ah. [CYBERMAN] In any case, your threat was meaningless. How could you havedestroyed the bow? [DOCTOR] Well, actually, I would have arranged to have the bow neatlyplaced in front of the rocket sled. Then I would have arranged therockets to test fire at a pre-arranged time. By the way, Ace, what isthe time? [ACE] Well, it's almost [ACE] Is that it, Doctor? Oh no, not you again. [DE FLORES] The bow. [DE FLORES] We have both succeeded in deceiving the Cybermen. [KARL] They made the mistake of assuming all human beings to be weak,corruptible. We, however, are loyal to the death. [DE FLORES] The long journey is over. You will be worshipped forever.Doesn't she speak? [DOCTOR] Not to the likes of you. [DE FLORES] She will. Well, Doctor, we must part. And thank you forremoving the Cybermen. Now the Nemesis is finally mine. [ACE] I'm sorry, Doctor. I thought I'd got him. [LEADER] Give me the bow, or I will kill her. [PEINFORTE] All things, all power. Time, space, the world. [LEADER] She is mad. [RICHARD] Speak not of my lady so. [PEINFORTE] See, I am here. [ACE] What do you want? [PEINFORTE] My Nemesis. [ACE] You're too late. The Doctor's got it. [PEINFORTE] It is incomplete until it holds the bow. That may be givenover to anyone. It will now be given to me. [LEADER] No! To us. [PEINFORTE] You are nothing. Only the Doctor matters, and he is but apawn in the game of my making. [ACE] Listen, you old bag. [RICHARD] Silence! [ACE] The Doctor's not just going to give you the bow. Tell her, Doctor.Tell her. [PEINFORTE] Doctor who? Have you never wondered where he came from, whohe is? [ACE] Nobody knows who the Doctor is. [PEINFORTE] Except me. [ACE] How? [PEINFORTE] The statue told me. [ACE] All right, so what does it matter? He's a Time Lord, I know that. [PEINFORTE] Well, Doctor? [DOCTOR] If I give you the bow [PEINFORTE] Your power becomes mine, but your secrets remain your own. [DOCTOR] It's all over, Ace. My battle, all my battles, I've lost. I canonly surrender. [PEINFORTE] Yes. [DOCTOR] But not to you. The Cybermen will have the Nemesis. [LEADER] This is most rational, Doctor. [PEINFORTE] But I know your secrets. [DOCTOR] Very well, tell them. [PEINFORTE] I shall tell them of Gallifrey, tell them of the old time,the time of chaos. [DOCTOR] Be my guest. [PEINFORTE] Your secrets [LEADER] The secrets of the Time Lords mean nothing to us. [DOCTOR] Exactly. Thank you for coming to the twentieth century andgiving me assistance. Thank you for bringing the arrow. You may go now. [PEINFORTE] What? [DOCTOR] You had the right game, but the wrong pawn. Check. [LEADER] Enough, Doctor. Cancel the statue's destructive capability. [DOCTOR] Thank you. [DOCTOR] Do you understand the Cyberleader's instructions? [NEMESIS] Perfectly. [ACE] Please don't surrender, Doctor. [LEADER] Prepare it for launching to liaise with our fleet. You have theposition from this device. [LEADER] A new and final era begins, Doctor. Imagination, thought,freedom, pleasure, all will end. [LEADER] The Earth will be transformed into our base planet, the newMondas. Before I kill you all, you may watch the arrival of our fleet.Launch the Nemesis. [ACE] Let them kill me, Doctor. Don't surrender. [DOCTOR] Stand back. She's ready for launching. [ACE] Nice rocket technology, Doctor. [LEADER] We will watch its progress. [DOCTOR] Certainly. [LEADER] This is impossible. You gave my instructions to the statue. [DOCTOR] Yes, I gave your instructions to the Nemesis, and it understoodthem. It understood them, and disobeyed them, and destroyed theCyberfleet. [LEADER] Then you will join them. [DOCTOR] It's worth it. [DOCTOR] That seems to be that. Thank you. [RICHARD] It was nothing, Doctor. I wish I could have saved my lady,too, but she was one with your statue. How shall I live now, stranded,a stranger in this time? [DOCTOR] I know how you feel. However [ACE] He'll give you a lift. [DOCTOR] Back to 1638? [RICHARD] It's possible? [DOCTOR] Anything's possible. --------------------------------------- (Lady Peinforte's home) [ACE] So you sent the Nemesis off into space to draw the Cybermen so youcould finish them off. [DOCTOR] I suppose I did. How clever of me. [ACE] Just like you nailed the Daleks. [DOCTOR] As I said, Ace. Unfinished business. [ACE] There's still one question you haven't answered. [RICHARD] We have none of this jazz whereof you speak, Doctor, but Ithink you will like this. [ACE] Professor? Doctor? Who are you?

Doctor Who (14 Dec, 1988; Seventh Doctor) - The Greatest Show in the Galaxy (Big Top) [RINGMASTER] Now welcome folks, I'm sure you'd like to know, we're atthe start of one big circus show. There are acts that are cool and actsthat amaze. Some acts are scary and some acts will daze. Acts of allkinds, you can count on that, from folks that fly to disappearing acts.There are lots of surprises for the family at the Greatest Show in theGalaxy! So many strange surprises, I'm prepared to bet, whatever you'veseen before, you ain't seen nothing yet. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [ACE [OC]] Professor? [DOCTOR] Yes? [ACE [OC]] Have you seen my Nitro Nine? [DOCTOR] Isn't it in your rucksack? [ACE [OC]] Yeah, but where's my rucksack? [DOCTOR] Interesting question. [ACE] Things don't just vanish. [DOCTOR] No. --------------------------------------- (Landing bay) (Tardis) [DOCTOR] What's that peculiar noise? [ACE] What peculiar noise? I don't hear any peculiar. [DOCTOR] How extraordinary. [DOCTOR] It materialised inside the Tardis. Just the kind of thing you'dexpect to see in this part of the galaxy. [ACE] Is that just what you'd expect too, Professor? [DOCTOR] Not entirely, no. [ADVERT] Yes, it's festival time at the Psychic Circus, the GreatestShow in the Galaxy! So why not come along and have the time of yourlife with the nonstop action of its glittering circus ring. There's bigprizes [ACE] No, I don't believe it. Junk mail. Used to get loads of this stuffthrough the letterbox and now we're being bombarded with it inside theTardis. [DOCTOR] Yes, junk mail gets everywhere. [ADVERT] If you want to watch or you want to compete, there's a greattime for you on the planet Segonax. The planet has easy access via ourspecial polyportable landing bays. [DOCTOR] Oh, Ace, I thought you'd have been interested in the circus. [ACE] No, kid's stuff. I went once. Didn't even have any tigers. It wasnaff and it was boring. Apart from the clowns, of course. [DOCTOR] What, you found them funny? [ACE] No, creepy. [DOCTOR] I think you're being very unfair. A lot of the acts in thecircus require a great deal of skill and courage. That's something youshould appreciate. Anyway, I rather fancy entering the Festival talentcontest myself. [ACE] Oh no, not the spoons again. [ADVERT] Scared? [ACE] What? [ADVERT] Scared to come to the Psychic Circus? [ACE] No. [ADVERT] Scared to take part? [ACE] No, course not. [ADVERT] Well, if you are, then go ahead, ignore me. I quite understand. [ACE] I don't believe it. Junk mail that talks back. [DOCTOR] Shall we just fling it away and forget about it? I mean, I'msure the Psychic Circus isn't scary at all. It's just a device to getus to go. [ACE] Okay, you win, junk box. I'm not scared of anything. --------------------------------------- (Segonax) [FLOWERCHILD] Come on, we can't give up now. [BELLBOY] They'll catch us, I know it. They'll drag us back to thecircus. [FLOWERCHILD] Oh, Bellboy, please. You promised. You know it's down tous now. We're the only ones left to fight. Come on. [BELLBOY] Flowerchild, look. Your kites, your beautiful kites. --------------------------------------- (Shoreline) [DOCTOR] So this is Segonax. Not quite the greenand pleasant land we'd been led to expect. Still, I've had good reportsof the friendliness of the natives. [ACE] Don't see these landing bays, Professor. [DOCTOR] Oh, I expect that's for those not fortunate enough to possess aTardis. [ACE] So now where? [DOCTOR] I'll ask for directions over there. --------------------------------------- (By the snack stall) [DOCTOR] Good afternoon. I'm the Doctor, this is my friend Ace. [STALLHOLDER] What sort of costume do you call that? [DOCTOR] I don't understand. [STALLHOLDER] And her's is no better. We don't want your type aroundhere. [DOCTOR] Ah, and what type might that be? [STALLHOLDER] Wierdos. You can tell them at a glance, you know. [ACE] Friendly natives, eh, Professor? [DOCTOR] Let's not be hasty. --------------------------------------- (Shoreline) [FLOWERCHILD] There's no choice. [BELLBOY] No. The kites will track us forever. [FLOWERCHILD] One of us must get there. [FLOWERCHILD] I want you to have this. [BELLBOY] Thanks. Look, I'll wait here awhile and see if I can find alonger route round. I shall draw them after me. [FLOWERCHILD] No silly risks, now. [BELLBOY] Go on. Go on. --------------------------------------- (Segonax) [CLOWN] They can't have lost them. [CLOWN] I thought not. [BELLBOY] Come on, kites. Find me. --------------------------------------- (By the snack stall) [ACE] Yuck. Do we really have to eat this muck? [DOCTOR] Elementary diplomacy, my dear Ace. She apparently thinks we'rea pair of undesirable intergalactic hippies. We must try and convinceher we're nice, clean-living people who eat up all our fresh fruit andpay our way. [ACE] Paying good money for this muck is daylight robbery. Do I have tofinish it? [DOCTOR] Every last bite. Besides, we want the charming lady to tell ushow to find the circus, don't we. Delicious, madam. Quite delicious. --------------------------------------- (Segonax) [BELLBOY] Come on, then! It's me, Bellboy. It's who you're looking for,isn't it? What are you waiting for? Come on! --------------------------------------- (By the snack stall) [STALLHOLDER] More? [DOCTOR] Er, no. Delicious but extremely filling. I'm sure you will havegathered by now, dear lady, we're not the kind of hobbledyhoys andvagabonds you take such exception to. Indeed, as I said before, I'm known asthe Doctor. [STALLHOLDER] Some people will call themselves anything. [DOCTOR] Yes, well, be that as it may, we would appreciate your help.You see, we're looking for [STALLHOLDER] Here comes another one of your lot. [ACE] Look at that ace bike, Professor. [ACE] Need a hand? I reckon it could be a stuck valve. [NORD] Get lost. [ACE] It's a great bike. [NORD] Go on, hop it, before I get angry. [ACE] Well, if you don't want to save yourself some time, then it's upto you. Course, it could be a valve [NORD] I've told you, girl, get lost! Or I'll do something horrible toyour ears. [ACE] Suit yourself. I hope your big end goes. [STALLHOLDER] He'll be going there. They all go there, you know. [DOCTOR] Go where? [STALLHOLDER] The Psychic Circus. All the riff-raff go there. All theinfernal extraterrestrials like him. Monopods from Lelex, Doctors. [DOCTOR] I don't understand. You say that he's going to the circus? [STALLHOLDER] Of course. Everyone of them who's up to no good goesthere. We locals wouldn't touch it with a barge pole. [DOCTOR] Is it far, this appalling spectacle? [STALLHOLDER] Miles and miles. Why do you suppose he's got that noisymonstrosity polluting the countryside? Here, you're not thinking ofgoing there, are you? [DOCTOR] No, no, the very idea, no. Just a moment, would you excuse me? [DOCTOR] Ace, any chance of a lift, do you think? [ACE] Worth a try, I suppose. He doesn't look after that bike, you know.If only he'd let me have a go, [DOCTOR] Yes, yes, never mind, Ace. Let's concentrate on getting a liftto the circus. Excuse me. If you're going to the circus, I wonder ifcould possibly give [NORD] Do you want me to do something unpleasant to your face? [DOCTOR] No, not really, no. [NORD] No one rides with me! For I am Nord, Vandal of the roads. --------------------------------------- (Painted bus) [CONDUCTOR] Hold tight please. --------------------------------------- (Segonax) [DOCTOR] Well, there's nothing like a nice walk inthe countryside. [ACE] And this is nothing like a nice walk in the countryside. [DOCTOR] Now, now, now, it could be worse. You could be carrying thatheavy rucksack of yours. [ACE] Yeah, what about my rucksack, Professor? What did you do with it? [DOCTOR] They seem to be in rather a hurry. Looking for customers. [ACE] Well, I wouldn't be so chuffed if I kept getting visitors likeNord the Vandal, I suppose. [DOCTOR] That's true. But then, how do they expect a hard case like himto going to the circus anyway? [ACE] Maybe he got conned, like I was. [DOCTOR] Something evil's happened here, I can feel it. [ACE] To do with the circus? [DOCTOR] Who knows. [ACE] Doctor, look. --------------------------------------- (Campsite) [CAPTAIN] I was probably the first person to visit the valley forseveral millennia, at the very least. So something like this, which forthe ordinary dull old stop-at-home might seem quite extraordinary, isjust run of the mill as far as I'm concerned. Well, of course sinceyou've never been [MAGS] Captain. [DOCTOR] Greetings. I'm the Doctor and this is my friend Ace. [CAPTAIN] And I am Captain Cook, the eminent intergalactic explorer. Youhappen to have heard of me, old boy? [MAGS] And I am Mags. --------------------------------------- (Outside the Circus) [NORD] Oi, white-face. White-face! Where do I park for the gig at thePsychic Circus? --------------------------------------- (Campsite) [CAPTAIN] Mmm, delicious. My own special blend, of course. I take iteverywhere. Bet you can't guess the blend, eh, Doctor? [DOCTOR] Well, I could be wrong, of course, but isn't it from the GrozValley of Melogothon? [CAPTAIN] Good. Very good. [ACE] (to Mags) I'll give you a hand. [DOCTOR] Oh, Ace, wait a minute. [CAPTAIN] Were you ever on Melogothon, Doctor? [DOCTOR] Well as a matter of fact, I was. [CAPTAIN] The frozen pits of Overod are worth seeing, of course, thoughmuch overrated, I feel. All right for the trainee explorer. Old handslike myself need something a bit more exotic. [DOCTOR] Why come here, then? [CAPTAIN] Sorry, old boy? [DOCTOR] I said, why bother to come here? [CAPTAIN] Well, I'm told the Psychic Circus is quite an interestinglittle show, particularly at this time, when everybody turns up tocompete in the Festival. Yes, besides, she wanted to come. [DOCTOR] Do you often travel together? [CAPTAIN] Of late, yes. I found her on the planet Vulpana. Between youand me, old boy, she's rather an unusual little specimen. [DOCTOR] Of what? [CAPTAIN] Ah, that would be telling, old boy. What about yours? [DOCTOR] I never think of Ace as a specimen of anything. [CAPTAIN] Keep your shirt on, Doctor. Everything's a specimen ofsomething. Take that robot over there, for example. [ACE] What do you reckon, Professor? [DOCTOR] I suppose it was buried for some good reason. [ACE] Well, maybe we'll find out what that reason was, eh, Professor? [ACE] Gordon Bennett! [DOCTOR] Quick. Help, Captain. [CAPTAIN] You don't often see one like that, do you. [DOCTOR] I've seen ones like this quite often enough, thank you verymuch. [ACE] Do something! I've got it. [CAPTAIN] Well, well. More tea, perhaps? --------------------------------------- (Segonax) (By the snack stall) [BELLBOY] Excuse me. [STALLHOLDER] You can't lie down there, you know. [BELLBOY] At last. [CLOWN] Where's the girl? [BELLBOY] She'll have reached there by now. [CLOWN] If she has, she'll regret it. [STALLHOLDER] Is there no end to you wierdos? --------------------------------------- (Painted bus) [CAPTAIN] It's obviously some sort of shrine. I sawone much like this on Dioscuros. [DOCTOR] A shrine or not, I can't help feeling something sinisterhappened here. [CAPTAIN] I wonder you manage to explore anything. Everything seems toalarm you so. [DOCTOR] Not everything. I trust my instincts, and you may recallthey're not always wrong. [ACE] Oh, come on, Professor. Let's go and explore. [CAPTAIN] I agree with your young friend. Let's explore. --------------------------------------- (On the bus) [ACE] Here, look at this. [CAPTAIN] I say. Well, well, well, it is quite something. [ACE] Wonder if it still goes. [CAPTAIN] Yes. [DOCTOR] Ace, I wouldn't. [CONDUCTOR] Any more fares, please? Any more fares, please? No standinginside. Hold tight, please. [CAPTAIN] I say, steady on, old chap. [CONDUCTOR] Fares please. Hold on tight. Ding, ding. [CAPTAIN] No, no, no, you've got it wrong, old boy. He's paying thefares, not me. [CONDUCTOR] Any more fares? [DOCTOR] I would like a ticket, actually. I'd like a there and back offpeak weekend break supersaver senior citizen bimonthly season withoptional added facilities a free cup of coffee in a plastic glass acrocodile sandwich and make it snappy, you mechanic moron! [DOCTOR] If I might take a look at that ticket machine of yours? [DOCTOR] Ah, yes. [DOCTOR] Just the ticket. --------------------------------------- (Ticket office) [MORGANA] What have you done? [CLOWN] Not nearly enough. [MORGANA] We need him. [CLOWN] He'll have to be punished, Morgana. [BELLBOY] Flowerchild? [MORGANA] No. [BELLBOY] Flowerchild. [MORGANA] Where is she? [CLOWN] He still thinks she may have escaped. [MORGANA] Listen, Bellboy, I [CLOWN] Save your breath. Take him back in the ring. He knows what'swaiting there. [BELLBOY] No. No. No! No! No! [MORGANA] What if a visitor arrives now? [CLOWN] If they come, they come. --------------------------------------- (Painted bus) [CAPTAIN] Letrepos, for example. Sights like thisare every day. [DOCTOR] Some people can't bear to be proved wrong. [ACE] He'd have let tinhead do you in. [DOCTOR] Oh, let's not bear a grudge. He can't help being a pompous,selfish, self-satisfied meddler. [ACE] Hmm. Mags might be okay if he wasn't around. [DOCTOR] If a little odd. [ACE] Doctor, look. [DOCTOR] Do you like it? [ACE] Yeah. [DOCTOR] Well, if the keeper's not here, the finder has it. [ACE] Ace. [ACE] What do you reckon happened here, Professor? Were the people inthis bus attacked on their way to the circus? [DOCTOR] Presumably. Whoever attacked them, destroyed them and wreckedthe bus. [ACE] And the evil you felt, was that the bus conductor? [DOCTOR] Yes, I think so. Anyway, whoever left him here on guard's gonenow. Perhaps millennia ago. [ACE] Nothing to do with the circus being scary? [DOCTOR] I'm afraid I think not. No, that was all just good publicity. [ACE] Pity. It might have made it more interesting. Are we still goingthere then? [DOCTOR] Yes. I feel just in the right mood. And after two brushes withdeath in one day, I hope you might be. [ACE] If you say so, Doctor. [DOCTOR] Ah, so, Doctor. You can remember. --------------------------------------- (Outside the circus) [CAPTAIN] On one of my trips to Neogorgon there was a whole planet with electronic dogs' heads submerged in mud. --------------------------------------- (By the snack stall) [WHIZZKID] Hi! [STALLHOLDER] Hello, young man. Just arrived from the landing port? [WHIZZKID] That's right. [STALLHOLDER] Oh, you've no idea what a relief for me it is to see sucha nice, clean, respectable young man, after the riff-raff I usuallyhave to deal with. Can I help you at all? [WHIZZKID] Yes, please. Could you tell me the way to the Psychic Circus? --------------------------------------- (Ticket office) [CLOWN] The show is about to start. [MORGANA] I've seen enough already. [CAPTAIN] Greetings, my good woman. This is the Psychic Circus, isn'tit? [MORGANA] Why yes, that's right. [CAPTAIN] Ah, sounds like things are going well. Come along, Mags. [MORGANA] But er [CAPTAIN] But what? [MORGANA] You can't go in just now. There is a speciality act beingrehearsed. [CAPTAIN] All the better, my dear. [MORGANA] No, you don't understand. [CAPTAIN] Thank you, my good fellow. Thank you. --------------------------------------- (Outside the Circus) [DOCTOR] Not as far as we feared. Look. [ACE] I still think clowns are creepy. [DOCTOR] Nonsense. [DOCTOR] Listen, they're having a good time in there. [ACE] Don't you hear it? [DOCTOR] Hear what? [ACE] That screaming. [DOCTOR] I can't hear anything. [ACE] I was sure I heard [DOCTOR] Oh, you're just making excuses because you don't like circuses. [ACE] No. No, it's not that. [DOCTOR] Well, are we going in or aren't we? --------------------------------------- (Ticket office) [CLOWN] Two more. [MORGANA] Right. --------------------------------------- (Outside the Circus) [ACE] I did hear it, that screaming. [DOCTOR] But not now. [DOCTOR] So we can go in? [ACE] Yeah, okay. [DOCTOR] Your enthusiasm's overwhelming. --------------------------------------- (Ticket office) [MORGANA] Welcome one and all to the PsychicCircus. [DOCTOR] Ace, you promised. (to Morgana) I'm the Doctor and this is Ace.I must apologise for my young friend. [MORGANA] Oh, it is no problem. All of us around here believe in lettingour feelings hang out. I mean, there is no point in getting uptight,now is there? [ACE] I don't believe this. [MORGANA] That is why we got into circuses in the first place. [DOCTOR] We? [MORGANA] The founder members of the Psychic Circus. [DOCTOR] Ah, I see. [MORGANA] We were really into personal expression and the Circus gave usa chance to develop ourselves by expressing our individual skills. [DOCTOR] I wonder if you've a special skill, if I might enquire. [MORGANA] Fortune telling. Would you like to see the future? [DOCTOR] Not just yet. [DOCTOR] The Psychic Circus has grown into quite a sizeable operation,by the looks of it. [MORGANA] The greatest show in the galaxy. [DOCTOR] Quite so, yes. My, you have travelled, haven't you? The planetOthris, the Boriatic Wastes, Marpesia and the Grand Pagoda of Cinethon. [MORGANA] Yes, we used to have a great time in the old days, going fromplanet to planet. But we've really got settled in here since [DOCTOR] Since? [MORGANA] Well, you have to hang up your travelling shoes and stopwandering sooner or later, don't you? [DOCTOR] So I've been told. Personally, I just keep on wandering. [RINGMASTER [OC]] Will you please take your seats, thank you. [DOCTOR] Ace? [ACE] Yes, Professor? [DOCTOR] Well, are we going in or aren't we? [MORGANA] You're sure you want to go in? [DOCTOR] Yes, that's why we came here in the first place. [MORGANA] Look, I don't know how to put this, but [MORGANA] Of course, go right in. Do your own thing. Enjoy yourselves. [DOCTOR] Thank you. Oh, tickets. We forgot to buy some tickets. [MORGANA] Tickets? [DOCTOR] To go in. [CLOWN] Ha ha! You're in already. [DOCTOR] Oh. Sounds as if you're doing really good business. [CLOWN] This way, please. --------------------------------------- (Big Top) [ACE] Professor. [DOCTOR] Yes? [ACE] I can't see a thing. [DOCTOR] Neither can I. [ACE] And the cheering's stopped. [DOCTOR] Perhaps we're between performances. Let's see if we can find aseat. [ACE] Found somewhere to sit, Professor? [DOCTOR] That's one way of looking at it, if we could see. Over here. [ACE] What? [DOCTOR] I said, over here. [DOCTOR] In a moment our eyes'll get used to the darkness. [ACE] Assuming there's anything worth seeing. [DOCTOR] Listen. [GIRL] Daddy. Daddy. [DAD] What? [GIRL] I want an ice cream. [DAD] You've already had one. [GIRL] But Daddy. [DAD] I told you once and I'm not going to tell you again. Now shut upand eat your popcorn. [DOCTOR] We're not alone. [ACE] Yeah, but it looks like it's just us and them. What a con. I mean,where's Mags and the Captain? [DOCTOR] Perhaps they haven't arrived yet. Who knows? Anyway, I'm goingto have an ice cream. [MUM] They should be starting up again soon. Have a crisp, Father. [DOCTOR] Greetings. Not many in today, are there. Are you regulars or isthis your first visit, too? Let me introduce myself. I'm [DOCTOR] Oh, thank you very much. Delicious. [ACE] Professor. Professor, it's starting. [DOCTOR] Well, it's been a pleasure. [DOCTOR] Remarkable. [ACE] If you like this sort of thing. [DOCTOR] No, no, I mean the memorial stones. Do you see them? Look. [RINGMASTER] Now welcome folks, I mean that from the heart, because theGreatest Show is about to start. It's happening right here before yourvery eyes and one thing's for sure, you're in for quite a surprise. Butthen, nothing's quite as it seems to be at the Greatest Show in theGalaxy. [RINGMASTER] Now welcome folks, we've got a brand new act. He's a realfind and no doubt that's a fact. He'll entertain you, he'll make youstare, and our great new act is seated over there! [DOCTOR] Oh, thank you, but [RINGMASTER] Come on, Doctor. Don't be shy. [DOCTOR] Well, I'm not really sure that I should. [RINGMASTER] Oh, no false modesty. We know you're good. [DOCTOR] Well, this is most unexpected. Are you sure you want me? [RINGMASTER] There's no mistake, Doc. Come on in. Feel free. [ACE] Don't go, Professor. [DOCTOR] Why, what harm could it do? [RINGMASTER] Exactly. But the decision's up to you. [ACE] No, Doctor! [DOCTOR] Well, you certainly didn't waste any time. I had expected tosee what the opposition was up to before I put myself forward for thetalent contest. [DOCTOR] But since you insist. [RINGMASTER] Oh, we do, but no doubt you'd like to get yourself preparedfirst. [DOCTOR] Well, yes, I [RINGMASTER] Let me show you and your charming assistant to yourdressing room. [DOCTOR] Oh, thank you very much. Ace! [CLOWN] Where did you find that earring? [ACE] Are you a robot too? [CLOWN] No. [ACE] Pity. [CLOWN] So tell me where you found it. [CLOWN] After her. --------------------------------------- (Backstage) [RINGMASTER] Right this way, Doctor. [DOCTOR] Thank you very much, but where's Ace? I don't think she [RINGMASTER] Oh, she'll be coming. [CAPTAIN [OC]] Iniphitus, where the Galvanic Catastrophods are not whatthey were. [CAPTAIN] No, but they're still worth a look if you're doing a tour ofthe southern nebula and have an eon or two to spare. You. Well, well. [DOCTOR] Captain Cook, I presume. So you had arrived after all. [CAPTAIN] But of course. Come and join us, Doctor. It's one big happyfamily here, eh, Nord? [NORD] Except when you're gassing on. [DOCTOR] Well, I don't really think I [CAPTAIN] Nonsense, we're having a ball here. [DOCTOR] Very well then. Mags. Do sit down, Doctor. [DOCTOR] Thank you very much. [CAPTAIN] Yes, there we are. Comfy? [DOCTOR] Yes. [CAPTAIN] That's the spirit. --------------------------------------- (Cage) [CAPTAIN] Anything the matter, old chap? [DOCTOR] It's a trap! I've fallen into a trap! I've fallen for it. [CAPTAIN] Yes, I know, old boy. Never mind. Have some tea. A verysimilar thing happened to me once, you know. [DOCTOR] Why? [CAPTAIN] Why what? [DOCTOR] Why let me be trapped? It's so pointless. I could have savedyou, Nord and Mags. [CAPTAIN] I wouldn't be too sure about that, Doctor. These circuschappies are pretty smart customers for all their let it all hang outmumbo jumbo. [MAGS] Maybe we could have escaped if we'd made a break for it there andthen. If only you'd [CAPTAIN] Now, now, Mags. No use in getting upset, and that's an order. [DOCTOR] What about you? I mean, why didn't you speak up? [DOCTOR] What kind of answer's that? [CAPTAIN] Save your energy, Doctor. You'll soon see why. Anyway, all ofus in here have developed a survival philosophy, which is why wewelcomed you in. [DOCTOR] What is all this, then? I thought there was a talent contestgoing on. [CAPTAIN] Well, yes, but in a way it's more like a survival of thefittest. [CAPTAIN] Oh, that's Deadbeat. Yes, he does odd jobs about the place,makes the tea for me, things like that. Don't bother too much abouthim, though. Fellow's mind's completely gone. [DEADBEAT] Gone. Gone. Oh really gone. All really gone down the roadagain. --------------------------------------- (Ticket office) [RINGMASTER] Well? [MORGANA] We have to talk. --------------------------------------- (Cage) [NORD] Get out of it! I hate your sort, cos I'm Nord, see? The toughestinfernal extraterrestrial there is. [DOCTOR] What a fool I've been. [CAPTAIN] Frankly, old chap, I have to agree. [DOCTOR] I should have listened to Ace. [CAPTAIN] Number one rule of the intergalactic explorer, Doctor. If youhear somebody talking about good vibes and letting it all hang out, runa mile. [MAGS] We didn't. [CAPTAIN] That's beside the point. [DOCTOR] What happens in there? [CAPTAIN] In where? [DOCTOR] In the ring, during the talent contest. [CAPTAIN] Something pretty nasty. [RINGMASTER [OC}] Next contestant ready, please. [CAPTAIN] Oh, here, Nord. [NORD] What? [CAPTAIN] Remember our agreement? [NORD] Eh? Oh, yeah, course. [CAPTAIN] Well, heads, heads or tails? [NORD] Tails. [CAPTAIN] Heads. [NORD] So? [CAPTAIN] You're on next. [NORD] I ain't going on next! [CAPTAIN] But we all agreed, didn't we, Mags? [CAPTAIN] Good girl. [CAPTAIN] He's next, I believe. [CLOWN] Get him ready. [DOCTOR] You were lucky, Captain. [CAPTAIN] Not really. I got a whole set of these silly little nick-nacksfrom some bug-eyed monster when I was on the planet Leophantos. [CAPTAIN] Like I said, Doctor. Every man for himself here. [DOCTOR] What am I supposed to do with these? [CAPTAIN] Practise juggling, I suppose. Your chances of survival in thering are better, of course, if you keep them entertained. [DOCTOR] Why, do they let you out again? [CAPTAIN] No, but you last longer. --------------------------------------- (Outside the Circus) [WHIZZKID] All right? --------------------------------------- (Ticket office) [MORGANA] Just think of all those tickets we've sold. Does that make youfeel good? It wasn't always like this, was it. Not before we came tothis dreadful place. We used to have fun. We were free spirits then. [RINGMASTER] We are now. [MORGANA] You think so? It feels more like we're part of a machine. [RINGMASTER] Look, we're not leaving, if that's what you mean. [MORGANA] We must! [RINGMASTER] You keep saying that, but you haven't gone, have you? [MORGANA] I tried, but [RINGMASTER] Listen, just as long as they keep on coming, and they will,no doubt of that, we are a success. Don't you understand? Anintergalactic success. Now, the others, they couldn't take the pace,that's all. Bellboy, Deadbeat, Flowerchild, the rest. Don't youunderstand? They wanted to live in the past, the old lazy way. Not us.We'll make the Psychic Circus known everywhere. [MORGANA] Known for what? [RINGMASTER] Well? [CLOWN] That new pair worry me. The girl that escaped had one ofFlowerchild's earrings. [RINGMASTER] Have they found the girl? [CLOWN] Not yet, but she can't have gone far. I'll search for hermyself. [RINGMASTER] Yeah, you do that. Make sure you find her. [MORGANA] And Bellboy? [CLOWN] Let's hope he's learned his lesson, shall we? We'd better gethim back to work. Bellboy made them all. Bellboy can repair them. [MORGANA] But will he ever be able to [WHIZZKID] Hello. This is the Psychic Circus, isn't it? [MORGANA] Yes, that's right. [WHIZZKID] Oh great! I've come halfway across the southern nebula to behere. I want to enter the talent contest. I know all about the PsychicCircus, you see. In fact, I'm your greatest fan. --------------------------------------- (Cage) [NORD] I'll show you. Easy. Easy! [DOCTOR] It frightens you, doesn't it, Mags? [MAGS] Oh, he'll be fine. Just like the other one was. [DOCTOR] You saw what happened in there? [MAGS] So? [DOCTOR] Aren't you going to tell me about it? [MAGS] See for yourself! [CAPTAIN] Don't bother Mags, Doctor, will you? You have to be carefulwith these rare specimens. [DOCTOR] What do you mean? [CAPTAIN] You'll see. --------------------------------------- (Workshop) [ACE] Look, I'm trying to help you, but you're notmaking it very easy. Can't you at least tell me what [ACE] Great. Don't tell them, will you? [CLOWN] Learnt your lesson, eh, Bellboy? No more running away now. Good,because I've got some important repair work for you to do. TheConductor's been damaged. That girl must be somewhere. --------------------------------------- (Big Top) [RINGMASTER] A man of might is Nord. And now he'll go for broke bymaking all you laugh with his most favourite joke. [NORD] Eh? What, do a gag? Like a joke? Yeah, well, I'm coming down likeon the Psychic Circus tonight on the way --------------------------------------- (Cage) [DOCTOR] Is this what you saw before? [MAGS] Not exactly, but just as bad. [DOCTOR] Would you let something like that happen to you? [MAGS] Would you? --------------------------------------- (Ticket office) [WHIZZKID] It must be awfully exciting working forthe Psychic Circus, Morgana. Particularly when you did your tour of theBoreatic Wastes. I think that most of your admirers would agree with methat that was one of your finest ever gigs. Well, in so far as you cantell from the posters [MORGANA] Would you like to be getting along inside? [WHIZZKID] You mean I can go in, just like that? [MORGANA] Yes. Go right now, please. [WHIZZKID] Oh wow! --------------------------------------- (Cage) [CAPTAIN] Mags. [MAGS] What? [CAPTAIN] It's not going to work. I remember when I was on the balefulplains of Grolon, I [MAGS] I don't care. [DOCTOR] Ready? [DOCTOR] I believe I'm on first. [MAGS] No, I'm ahead of you. [DOCTOR] No, you're not. [MAGS] No, I am. [DOCTOR] I insist on going out first. [MAGS] Oh no, you don't. [DOCTOR] Oh yes, I do! --------------------------------------- (Big Top) [RINGMASTER] Now listen folks, we have a great new act. He's a realfind, there's no doubt that's a fact. He'll entertain you, he'll makeyou stare, and our great new act is seated over there! [MUM] I hope he's better than the last one. [DAD] Couldn't be much worse. [GIRL] Mum, Mum. [MUM] Shut up and eat your popcorn. --------------------------------------- (Cage) [DOCTOR] Look, I insist in going on first. [MAGS] I told you, I am. [DOCTOR] I am! [DOCTOR] Join the club. Captain? [CAPTAIN] No thanks, old boy. I'll sit this one out. Goodbye, Mags. [MAGS] Bye, Captain. --------------------------------------- (Outside the workshop) [CLOWN] That'll do. Take it back to the bus. [CLOWN] Let me entertain you. --------------------------------------- (Big Top) [WHIZZKID] Well, I have to say it's a real thrillfor me to be here at the Psychic Circus. I've collected all yourposters, you know. --------------------------------------- (Cage) [RINGMASTER] Have you now? [WHIZZKID] From all your venues. And also I've got some very interesting --------------------------------------- (Backstage) [RINGMASTER [OC]] Oh Doctor, oh Doctor, have nofear. Calling the Doctor. There's no escape. Repeat, there is noescape. [MAGS] Won't they take no for an answer? [DOCTOR] No. Oh, we should have made straight away for the open air, Isuppose. [MAGS] Look. [DOCTOR] How extraordinary. They're just like the stones in the Big Top.Fascinating. I wonder how long they've been here? [MAGS] Maybe they were always here. [DOCTOR] That thought had occurred to me. Let's investigate. [MAGS] Oh! Can you see it? [DOCTOR] See what? [MAGS] That moon sign. [DOCTOR] The moon? Why does it frighten you? Tell me. [MAGS] Don't ask. Just lets get out of here. --------------------------------------- (Workshop) [ACE] Pasty face. [CLOWN] Don't like clowns, eh? After some time in here, you'll tell mewhat I want to know. [ACE] Is any one there? Come on, you don't scare me. --------------------------------------- (Stone chamber) [MAGS] It's weird. I don't understand. [DOCTOR] Oh, nasty little booby trap, that. That is, if it is a boobytrap. Still, there's certainly no way forward. [MAGS] Is it a well? [DOCTOR] One way to find out. [DOCTOR] That eye, I've seen it before. Of course, it was on the kitesat the entrance hall. Fascinating. Somehow, somewhere down there is theanswer to all that's going on at the Psychic Circus. [CAPTAIN] Ahem. Awfully sorry to butt in like this, old boy, but I'mafraid you're wanted. You're the next one due on in the ring. --------------------------------------- (Stone chamber) [MAGS] Why did you bring them here? [CAPTAIN] Survival of the fittest, old girl. Don't tell me you nevercame across that on the planet Vulpana? [DOCTOR] But we were on the edge of discovering the secret of thePsychic Circus. Doesn't that interest you at all? [CAPTAIN] Frankly, no, old chap. Anyway, what's going on seems prettyclear to me. Anybody dumb enough to get into the ring gets killed. --------------------------------------- (Workshop) [ACE] Just because I said I don't like them, doesn't mean I'm scared ofclowns, okay? Got that, tinhead? I said, got that, tinhead? [BELLBOY] Oh, I'm sorry. That shouldn't have happened. I must havefallen asleep. [ACE] We've met before. Don't you remember me? --------------------------------------- (Outside the stone chamber) [CAPTAIN] Mags, now please. Not now. Not yet! --------------------------------------- (Big Top) [MUM] I don't think much of this, Father. [DAD] Nothing's happening, is it. [MUM] Not that I can see. [GIRL] Mum, Mum! [MUM] What is it? [GIRL] I'm bored. [DAD] There's no point in going on, dear. We're all bored. Something hasto happen soon. --------------------------------------- (Backstage) [CAPTAIN] After all I've done for you, the Doctor gets away and you andI are going back to the guardroom. [MAGS] You were lucky. [CAPTAIN] Yes, I suppose you're right. I'm still in one piece. You wouldhave given us the full works. Still, the old team of Mags and theCaptain stuck together as usual. As a matter of fact, it reminded me ofthat time of Fagiros, when the Architrave of Batgeld was showing me hisearly collection of Ganglion pottery --------------------------------------- (Ticket office) [DOCTOR] Of course, of course. [DOCTOR] Things are beginning to get out of control quicker than Iexpected. [DEADBEAT] No, no. [DOCTOR] Fun for all the family? I don't know how they've got the nerve. --------------------------------------- (Workshop) [BELLBOY] Oh, my Flowerchild. They murdered you with a robot I made. [ACE] You're sure that's what happened? [BELLBOY] There can be no doubt. Every robot, every clown in the circusI made and maintained, for this. And even now they won't let me die.They need me. [ACE] You mean you're the only one who knows how? [BELLBOY] Each of us, each of us in the circus, we all had one circusskill we learned, and mine was this. [ACE] This control unit's brill. [BELLBOY] Have it. [ACE] Really? [BELLBOY] Yes. It controls that, and the full scale version I made. [BELLBOY] Careful. That activates the laser eyes. It was to have been mymasterpiece, but like everything else it was, it was abused and wentwrong. We had such high ideals when we started. We shared everythingand we enjoyed making people happy. If we had a problem we'd all justsit round and talk it through. Oh, we were so happy. At least, I thinkwe were. --------------------------------------- (Backstage) [DOCTOR] Hello, Deadbeat. Fancy meeting you here. Small world, isn't it.It frightened you to see that eye, didn't it. It means the powersbehind it are on the move again. Something happened to you here. Youhaven't always been like this. Did you try and find something out? Wereyou punished? Can you understand anything I'm saying? Well, there's onething I do know, Deadbeat. You're not going to give me away to theothers. Are you? [DEADBEAT] I wouldn't. I wouldn't. [DOCTOR] Lead on, Deadbeat. --------------------------------------- (Big Top) [DAD] You know, I could get quite cross about this. --------------------------------------- (Cage) [WHIZZKID] Oh wow, is that Captain Cook, the famousintergalactic explorer and [CLOWN] Quiet. Where's the Doctor? [CAPTAIN] He gave us the slip. [CLOWN] He did what? [CAPTAIN] He gave us the slip. A similar thing happened to me in the Bayof Paranoia on Golobus. [CLOWN] I don't care what happened on Golobus. [CAPTAIN] Your loss, old boy. Anyway, it was all her fault. [MAGS] Hang on a minute. [CAPTAIN] I imagine you'll have to put her into the ring next as somesort of punishment. [CLOWN] No. [CAPTAIN] Oh, found someone else, have you? [CLOWN] Yes. [CAPTAIN] Really. May I enquire who? [CLOWN] You. [WHIZZKID] Excuse me, but you are Captain Cook the famous intergalacticexplorer. I've got maps at home showing all your journeys and a pieceof one of your old shoes I bought in a souvenir shop [CAPTAIN] Will you leave me alone! --------------------------------------- (Ticket office) [RINGMASTER] Hey, hey, Morgana, Morgana. Hey, baby, you were long gone. [MORGANA] Look. It's here, now. [RINGMASTER] What do you mean? [MORGANA] What we found. What we serve. It'll always be here now,waiting for us to [RINGMASTER] Don't come with all that now. [MORGANA] Don't pretend you don't see it! [RINGMASTER] Look, I've got an empty circus tent in there right now. Idon't want to talk about anything else. [MORGANA] Well, send in another act. [RINGMASTER] I will, baby, just as soon as I can. [CLOWN] The Doctor's escaped. Your idiot of a Captain failed us. [RINGMASTER] All right, send him in the ring. [CLOWN] It's arranged already, but I'm more worried about the Doctor.He's dangerous. [RINGMASTER] Well, let's go find him, then. [CLOWN] I'll go find him. You get back in the ring. [RINGMASTER] Hey, just a minute, man [MORGANA] Quiet, both of you! Look, it's showing him to us. [RINGMASTER] But he's with Deadbeat. [CLOWN] Then he must be stopped at once. --------------------------------------- (Workshop) [BELLBOY] Oh, the kites she made, beautiful kites,every colour of the rainbow. All different shapes and sizes. And theyuse them to watch us and trap us and keep us here. So they destroyedher work and then they destroyed her. [ACE] It'll be all right, Bellboy. I'll get you out of here. [BELLBOY] Why should I want to get out of here? It's gone. The fun,freedom of being what you want to be, all of it. Don't you understand? [ACE] Yes. Look, I'm sorry. We can't stay here forever, can we. I've gotto find the Doctor for a start. [BELLBOY] They took everything that was bright and good about what wehad, and buried it where it will never be found again. [ACE] I don't understand. Who's they? [BELLBOY] The ones who run the circus. The ones you've met. There wasn'tjust them, there was some. There was. [BELLBOY] Flowerchild and, and Peacepipe, and Juniperberry, and, andDeadbeat. No, he wasn't Deadbeat then, he was er, he was, he was. It'sgone. [ACE] They're coming to take me to the ring, Bellboy. They may need youto repair the robots, but I'm just trouble. Making a bit of a mess ofopening the door, aren't they? It can't be that difficult. [BELLBOY] Oh, maybe, maybe it is the end after all. [ACE] Doctor! [DOCTOR] Deadbeat, I take it all back. (to Ace) You're absolutely right.Clowns can be creepy. [DEADBEAT] Sift the dreams in your mind. [BELLBOY] King. [DEADBEAT] You'll be amazed [BELLBOY] Kingpin! That was your name. Kingpin. --------------------------------------- (Cage) [CAPTAIN] So you've always been interested in thePsychic Circus, have you? Sit down. [WHIZZKID] Oh yes, of course. [CAPTAIN] Ah. [WHIZZKID] I've never been able to visit it before now, but I've got allsorts of souvenirs. Copies of all the advertising satellites that haveever been sent out. All the posters. I had a long correspondence withone of the founder members too, soon after it started. Although I nevergot to see the early days, I know it's not as good as it used to be butI'm still terribly interested. [RINGMASTER] Two minutes, Captain. [CAPTAIN] Thank you, Ringmaster. No doubt you dream of having theultimate Psychic Circus experience as soon as possible. [WHIZZKID] Sorry? [CAPTAIN] You ache for the moment when you can do your own act withinthat sawdust covered magic circle. [WHIZZKID] Oh, yes, of course. I mean, there's no real danger, is there,really. [CAPTAIN] Only for those without resource or imagination or panache. I'msure you have all those qualities. [WHIZZKID] Well, I really don't know. [CAPTAIN] Come, come, dear boy, don't be so absurdly modest. [MAGS] Don't listen to him. [WHIZZKID] But this is one of my heroes, Captain Cook, the intergalacticspace explorer. [CAPTAIN] Exactly. And shall I tell you what I'm prepared to do for youas a special favour? [WHIZZKID] What? [CAPTAIN] Postpone my brief moment of glory in the ring so that you mayenjoy the unforgettable experience before me, far beyond the bouncingUpas trees of Boromeo or the singing squids of Anagonia. [WHIZZKID] Are you sure you can bear to let me go in first? [CAPTAIN] It is a sacrifice I am prepared to make. --------------------------------------- (Workshop) [DEADBEAT] The dreams. Sift the dreams. When themind's divided the body screams. [BELLBOY] Yes, some of it's coming back now. Not all of it. He wasKingpin. He was the one who persuaded us to come here. There wassomething he wanted, something he knew about. And we all trusted him,and [DOCTOR] Something went wrong? [BELLBOY] Yes. Something went very wrong. It's this place, you see. Itdoes things to you. [DOCTOR] And a friendly hippy circus was turned into a trap for killingpeople. [BELLBOY] Yes. Even our own kind. That was after Kingpin was no longerKingpin. Something went. Something went with him and [DOCTOR] And the well? [BELLBOY] What well? [DOCTOR] You don't know anything about a well with an eye peering outfrom inside? [BELLBOY] No. [ACE] An eye, like the one of Flowerchild's, like the ones on the kites. [BELLBOY] No, not any more. [DEADBEAT] Don't look in the well. The eye gives you promises of heavenor hell. [ACE] He's off, he's gone. I knew people like him in Perivale. [DOCTOR] Listen, Ace. [ACE] What to? [DOCTOR] The answers. You know what happened, don't you, Deadbeat? --------------------------------------- (Big Top) [MUM] At last. [RINGMASTER] Now welcome, folks. I'm sure you'd like to know we've got abrand new act for your circus show. Now welcome please with all thewarmth you can, the Psychic Circus' greatest fan! [WHIZZKID] This is the most exciting day of my life. My dream come true.I'm standing in the ring of the Psychic Circus. --------------------------------------- (Cage) [MAGS] You've sent that poor boy out to his death. [CAPTAIN] Nonsense. He may be a great success. [CAPTAIN] So it just goes to show you never can be certain. [CAPTAIN] As I said, survival of the fittest. --------------------------------------- (Workshop) [DOCTOR] Deadbeat, if we take you to the well, canyou show us what it did? [ACE] How do you know it's not all a con, Professor? [DOCTOR] Well, he brought me here to you and Bellboy. He must have donethat for a purpose. [ACE] Not if your brains are that scrambled. [DOCTOR] Ah, now there's something there, Ace. I saw it when he lookedinto the crystal ball. [ACE] You're just an aging hippy, Professor. [DOCTOR] There might be something in that, yes. Anyway, we'd better begoing. Bellboy? [BELLBOY] Er, no. [ACE] Come on, Bellboy. [BELLBOY] No, I think the chief clown will be here after you and I coulddelay him for a while. I'd be pleased to make myself useful. [ACE] But Bellboy? [BELLBOY] You still don't understand, do you. Everything I loved hasgone. There's no point in living on to do work I hate. [DOCTOR] So be it, then, Bellboy. Come on, Deadbeat. Or should I callyou Kingpin? We've got work to do. [ACE] Bye now, Bellboy. All the best. Oh, and er, thanks for this. --------------------------------------- (Outside the Workshop) [BELLBOY] Bye, Ace. Goodbye, Kingpin, Doctor. --------------------------------------- (Ticket office) [MORGANA] The acts will keep on coming now, we promise, and no one willever go near the bus again. Those who remain are your servants to dowith as you wish. No, I never wanted to resist your power. --------------------------------------- (Workshop) [CLOWN] Where are they? [BELLBOY] I don't know. I don't care. It's all destroyed, you know that.Oh, you were a wonderful clown once. Funny, inventive. [CLOWN] Quiet. [BELLBOY] I'm not helping you any more, you see. [CLOWN] Take care, Bellboy. [BELLBOY] Come on. Come on. Deal with me as you dealt with Flowerchild. [CLOWN] You're crazy. [BELLBOY] Come on. Come on! Come on! --------------------------------------- (Stone chamber) [DEADBEAT] No. I can't do it. [ACE] Come on, Kingpin. Nearly there. Hold on, please. [DOCTOR] Now, Kingpin, show us what you did when you first saw the eye. [ACE] Great stuff, Kingpin. [DOCTOR] He must have used that medallion to summon the powers that lurkhere. [ACE] And it did this to him. [DOCTOR] Yes. [ACE] I wish I had some Nitro Nine to lob down there. Hang about. Themirror here, it's an eye. [DOCTOR] Yes, that eye seems to plague us everywhere, only with theeyeball removed by someone or something. [ACE] And hidden. [DOCTOR] In the bus. [ACE] Where Flowerchild died trying to get it. [DEADBEAT] Shall be free. We shall be free. We shall be free. We shallbe free. --------------------------------------- (Cage) [CAPTAIN] Calm down, Mags. There'll be some morecontestants along soon. We're doing very well. [MAGS] That poor boy. [CAPTAIN] Us or him, Mags. And before you get too high and mighty,remember where you'd be without me. Dead with a bullet in you on theplanet Vulpana. A silver bullet. [MAGS] I know that, Captain, but you didn't do it for me, you did it foryourself. I only wish I knew what you were after. [CAPTAIN] All in good time, Mags. All in good time. --------------------------------------- (Stone chamber) [DOCTOR] It's so tantalising. I'm so close tounderstanding it all and yet so far. [ACE] So we'll have to get hold of that other bit of mirror. [DOCTOR] Exactly. Now, you take Kingpin back to the bus and find it, butbe careful. [ACE] Hang on a bit, Professor. This is all going a bit too fast for me.I'll fetch it, no problem, but what about you? [DOCTOR] I'm going back to the ring. [ACE] Are you off your head? [DOCTOR] The Psychic Circus needs acts. If they've got me then perhapsthey won't worry about you two for the moment. [ACE] Sometimes I think it's you that's crazy, not Deadbeat here. [DOCTOR] Anybody remotely interesting is mad in someway or another. --------------------------------------- (Big Top) [DAD] I don't know where they find these acts, doyou, Mother? [MUM] Never seem to get any better, do they, Father? --------------------------------------- (Backstage) [DOCTOR] I believe you've been looking for me. I'm wanted backstage. --------------------------------------- (Cage) [DOCTOR] Greetings, Captain Cook. Mags. You will bepleased to hear that the greatest act in the galaxy has returned to thefold. [CAPTAIN] Jolly good show, Doctor. [MAGS] But Doctor, I helped you to escape. [DOCTOR] I know, Mags, and I haven't wasted the time you bought me. AndI have returned with an idea. I suggest that this time we all threework together. [MAGS] Meaning? [DOCTOR] Up to now all the people in the cage have been played offagainst each other, and of course some people are cleverer atpreserving themselves than others. [CAPTAIN] Luck of the draw, old boy. [DOCTOR] Not entirely. What I'm proposing is that we all three go intothe ring. Three for one and one for three. That should throw a very bighammer into the works. [MAGS] I'm with you, Doctor. And so's he. [CAPTAIN] Now just a moment, Mags. [MAGS] Aren't you, Captain. --------------------------------------- (Big Top) [RINGMASTER] Now welcome, folks, not one act butthree, to the Greatest Show in the Galaxy, the Galaxy, the Galaxy. [CAPTAIN] Sorry, everyone. Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, but beforewe start I would like to make one small request from stage management.A special lighting effect. [MAGS] No. [CAPTAIN] Could you perhaps give us that old devil moon effect. [MAGS] No! No! [CAPTAIN] You really were extremely stupid this time, Doctor. I told youshe was an unusual specimen. The growling, the snarling, reaction tothe moon. Surely you should have guessed? --------------------------------------- (Big Top) [RINGMASTER] Captain! [CAPTAIN] I hate it when this happens. She can't control herself, ofcourse, and like all her kind she'll destroy whatever comes in herpath. Which, I'm afraid, in this case has to be you. [CAPTAIN] This circus is only the half of it, you see, old chap. Thesehippy fellows weren't quite so dumb as they look. Did you come herejust for the fun of it? Well, some of them did, but they're all dead. --------------------------------------- (Painted bus) [CONDUCTOR] Could I see your tickets, please. --------------------------------------- (Big Top) [CAPTAIN] We experienced explorers know all aboutmaking the most of our discoveries. The powers here can be harnessed bythose intrepid enough to grasp the opportunities. Myself, for instance. [DOCTOR] Those powers destroyed Deadbeat. [CAPTAIN] Yes, but he was like you, Doctor, none too bright in the oldself-interest stakes. [CAPTAIN] Stop it, Mags. This werewolf is extremely dangerous. [DOCTOR] You're meddling with things you don't understand. [CAPTAIN] No, Doctor, you are. Once you're out of the way, I shall makemy deal with the powers that be, whoever they may be. --------------------------------------- (Ticket office) [MORGANA] She's taking Deadbeat to the bus. [CLOWN] In that case, they're also taken care of. --------------------------------------- (Big Top) [CAPTAIN] I remember once visiting the gold minesof Katakiki [DOCTOR] Captain Cook! [CAPTAIN] What? [DOCTOR] You're not only a scoundrel and a meddling fool, but you'realso a crushing bore. [CAPTAIN] I'm afraid you've really done it this time, old boy. Mags! --------------------------------------- (Painted bus) [DEADBEAT] Search, search, search for the truth.Search it out, search it now. --------------------------------------- (In the bus) [ACE] This must be it. --------------------------------------- (Painted bus) [DEADBEAT] Search it now. [ACE] Kingpin, I've found it! --------------------------------------- (Big Top) [DOCTOR] Mags! Mags! Do you hear me? Mags! [DOCTOR] Mags, when you're like this, this isn't in your nature, youhave to destroy everything that crosses your path. I don't believethat. Mags! [DOCTOR] Mags! Mags! Wait, wait. I need your mercy, but you don't haveto kill. [CAPTAIN] Come on, Mags. You can trust me. You know that, don't you?Once he's out of the way we can split the proceeds. Do it for me, do itfor your old pal the Captain. You know you'll enjoy it. I order you to.I order you to! [DOCTOR] No, Mags! No! --------------------------------------- (Painted bus) [DEADBEAT] Search, search, search for the truth. Search, search, search [ACE] You've got to try and help me, Kingpin. I can't get it open. [DEADBEAT] Search, search, search for the truth. [ACE] What I'd give for my chemistry set now. [DEADBEAT] Search, search, search for the truth. [ACE] Come on, Kingpin. Do try and concentrate a bit. [CONDUCTOR] Tickets, please. Tickets, please. [CONDUCTOR] Tickets, please. [CONDUCTOR] Tickets, please. [ACE] Kingpin! Please! [ACE] Kingpin, do something! [DEADBEAT] I remember now! It's beneath the cap. [ACE] What? [DEADBEAT] Knock its cap off! [ACE] Now what? [DEADBEAT] Bellboy put a button that said Request Stop. Press it! [ACE] What? [DEADBEAT] Press the button! [DEADBEAT] Now stand back. [ACE] What? [DEADBEAT] Stand back, quick. [DEADBEAT] No! Get away! Quick! [ACE] Now we're getting somewhere. You really are Kingpin, aren't you. [DEADBEAT] Yes, thankfully. But no one's safe until we get this (themedallion) back to the Doctor. --------------------------------------- (Big Top) [DOCTOR] Come on, Mags. We've got to run away, now. [DAD] We want more. [DOCTOR] Mags! [RINGMASTER] Er, another act's coming soon, folks. You can believe me. [GIRL] Another act now. [DAD] We want more. [MUM] (deep voice) We need more. [MORGANA] You haven't played fair with me. [RINGMASTER] Listen, we've done everything we're supposed to do, right? [MORGANA] I had my doubts, but I came through in the end. [RINGMASTER] There are going to be other visitors. [GIRL] We need more. [DAD] You have no one left to give. [MUM] Except yourselves. [RINGMASTER] No! [MORGANA] Please, more acts are on the way, I promise you. --------------------------------------- (Backstage) [DOCTOR] Something dreadful's happening in thering. Things are getting out of control quicker than I expected. [DAD [OC]] Calling the Doctor. Calling the Doctor. [DOCTOR] Nothing will satisfy them but my presence. [MAGS] I'm coming back in there with you. [DOCTOR] No. You must run and get Ace and Deadbeat. [DOCTOR] I must prepare for my entrance. Never keep your audiencewaiting. --------------------------------------- (Ticket office) [DOCTOR] I'm coming. Open a pathway for me. Once small step for mankind,one great leap, or words to that effect. --------------------------------------- (Arena) [DOCTOR] And here we all are at last. I'm surprised you brought me here.It must be very difficult for you, trying to exist concurrently in twodifferent time spaces. I know the problem myself. No wonder thosememorial stones looked familiar. The Gods of Ragnarok, I presume. --------------------------------------- (By the snack stall) [STALLHOLDER] Don't you frighten my horse like that, you hippie weirdo. [STALLHOLDER] Shut up, circus riff-raff. You don't own this planet, youknow. --------------------------------------- (Arena) [DOCTOR] How many people have you destroyed, Iwonder, before Kingpin was lured down here. Poor Kingpin. That's whatyou like, isn't it. Taking someone with a touch of individuality andimagination, and wearing them down to nothingness in your service. [DAD] Enough. [MUM] You have said enough. [DOCTOR] Enough? I've hardly started. I have fought the Gods of Ragnarokall through time. [DAD] You are in our true time space now, Doctor. There is no appealbeyond its confines to any other. [DOCTOR] Don't tell me what you want me to do. Let me guess. Now let mesee. You want me to [DAD] Entertain us. [MUM] Entertain us. [DAD] Or die. So long as you entertain us, you may live. [MUM] When you no longer entertain us, you die. [DOCTOR] Predictable as ever, Gods of Ragnarok. As I think it's beensaid before, or was it after? Anyway, you ain't seen nothin' yet. --------------------------------------- (Segonax) [ACE] Hey, Mags! Where's the Doctor? [MAGS] Back at the circus. [ACE] So you're on your own now? [MAGS] Not exactly. Look. [MAGS] That's what they're after. [DEADBEAT] Oh, I might have guessed. [ACE] So how do we get it back to the Doctor? Oh, dumbo! Not you two,me. I've got an idea. Come on! [MAGS] Wrong way! [ACE] Not for this. Come on, Kingpin! --------------------------------------- (Arena) [DOCTOR] Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen, for thatoverwhelming reception. And now, I would like to begin like life, atthe beginning. But how did life begin? Was it with a chicken or was itwith [DAD] What? [MUM] Don't try our patience. [DAD] Don't play games. [DOCTOR] You're not interested in beginnings. You're only interested inendings. --------------------------------------- (Campsite) [MAGS] Oh no, not that thing again. Come on. [DEADBEAT] Dumbo. Bellboy's robot. [ACE] Dead right, Kingpin. [CLOWN] Bellboy's greatest mistake. What a place to choose. You may havethe Eye again, Deadbeat, but you won't use it. You know that. You'renot strong enough! You weren't before. [DEADBEAT] At least I tried. You just gave in. [CLOWN] Yes, and I shall get my reward. Last chance, Deadbeat. We reallybelieved in all that talk of peace and love [ACE] This thing had better work, or I'll kick its head in. [MAGS] For a moment I thought you weren't going to be able to make itstop. [ACE] Funny you should say that. [DEADBEAT] He used to be a great clown. [ACE] I've never liked clowns. --------------------------------------- (Arena) [DOCTOR] What, no complaints? No arguments? No thunderbolts? [DAD] No, Doctor. [MUM] We're not concerned that you're playing for time. [DAD] We have a saying. [DOCTOR] Let me guess. Give yourself enough rope and you hang yourself. --------------------------------------- (Campsite) [ACE] Kingpin. [DEADBEAT] I only hope we make it in time. The Doctor's stronger than Iever was, but even he can't hold out against them forever. [ACE] He'll have a good stab at it, though. --------------------------------------- (Arena) [DAD] You are nearing the end, Doctor. [DOCTOR] A piece of rope has two ends, Father Ragnarok. [MUM] Feel the rain, Doctor. [DAD] Feel the chill in your bones. --------------------------------------- (By the Ticket Office) [DEADBEAT] Ace, quick! Come on! --------------------------------------- (Arena) [DAD] Doctor. [DOCTOR] Yes? [DAD] You are trifling with us. [DOCTOR] Really? I thought I was entertaining you. [DAD] You are on the brink of destruction, Doctor. We want somethingbigger, something better. [DOCTOR] Do you now? --------------------------------------- (Big Top) [ACE] The Doctor must be here somewhere. [DEADBEAT] Well, he may already be in the Dark Circus with the Gods. Ifso, there's only one way we can reach him. [MAGS] The stone chamber. [ACE] And the medallion? [DEADBEAT] Yeah. We must be careful. They're bound to sense itspresence. --------------------------------------- (Arena) [DOCTOR] Do I have your full attention? --------------------------------------- (Ticket Office) [DEADBEAT] You do realise that they'll try anythingto stop us? [ACE] Yes. Let's go. --------------------------------------- (Arena) [DOCTOR] The climax of my act, Gods of Ragnarok,requires something you do not possess in great abundance. That is,imagination. And it starts with a piece of metal. This piece of metalonce belonged to a sword, and that sword belonged to a gladiator. [DOCTOR] And that gladiator fought and died in this ring to entertainyou. --------------------------------------- (Stone chamber) [ACE] Go for it, Kingpin. [MAGS] Kingpin, please. [ACE] Well, one of us had better try. [CAPTAIN] Perhaps I might relieve you of that. [MAGS] Captain, I thought you were dead. [CAPTAIN] I am, my dear. I am. --------------------------------------- (Arena) [DOCTOR] I have fed you enough, Gods of Ragnarok,and you found what I have to offer indigestible. So I have taken myselfoff the menu. La comedia e finita. [DAD] We command you. [MUM] You cannot stop. [DOCTOR] I already have. [DAD] Then you will die. [DOCTOR] Probably not. It's all a matter of timing, don't you know. --------------------------------------- (Stone chamber) [ACE] Oi, sarcophagus face! [DEADBEAT] Quick. [CAPTAIN] You know, when I was on the planet Periboea, I met someone whowalks around when he was already dead. I must say, as an experience I'dsay it was very overrated. --------------------------------------- (Ticket office) [DEADBEAT] Look. Get down! --------------------------------------- (Segonax) [STALLHOLDER] It's what I've always said. No consideration for those ofus that live here. --------------------------------------- (Outside the Circus) [DOCTOR] Enjoying the show, Ace? [ACE] Yeah. It was your show all along, wasn't it? [MAGS] The Captain really is finished now, isn't he? [DOCTOR] Yes. But you're just about to start. [DEADBEAT] Doctor, I've been thinking. [DOCTOR] What better way for a circus to begin than with a wonderfulnew act. [ACE] Yeah, weird and wonderful. Nice one, Professor. You'll knock themdead. [MAGS] That's just what I'm afraid of. What if I can't control it? [DOCTOR] Oh, you can, Mags. You already have. [DEADBEAT] What about it, Doctor? You and Ace. Join Kingpin's new circusand travel the galaxy with us. [DOCTOR] Thank you, Kingpin, but I'm afraid we've got other galaxies totravel. And besides, I find circuses a little sinister.

Doctor Who (6 Sep 6, 1989; Seventh Doctor) - Battlefield (Garden centre) [DORIS] Alastair, Alastair? [BRIGADIER] Mmm? [DORIS] What about this one? [BRIGADIER] Oh fine, if you like it, Doris. [DORIS] Oh, show some enthusiasm. It'd look great by one of our azaleabeds. What do you think? [BRIGADIER] Yes. I'll plant it when we get home. [DORIS] Oh, thank you. [BRIGADIER] The exercise will do me good. Now, where's that salesman gotto? Typical lack of efficiency. [DORIS] Back in your soldier days you just had to give an order andstand back. [BRIGADIER] Of course. Sergeant Benton, tree planting party, at thedouble! [DORIS] Sir! You don't regret it, do you? [BRIGADIER] What, giving up teaching? [DORIS] No, leaving United Nations Intelligence Taskforce. [BRIGADIER] No, my blood and thunder days are long past. --------------------------------------- (Lake Vortigern) [ZBRIGNIEV] Come in, Salamander six zero. Over. [ZBRIGNIEV] Come in Salamander six zero. Over. [RICHARDS [OC] ] Salamander six zero reading you strength one. Over. [ZBRIGNIEV] Stand by, six zero. Brigadier, I've made contact withLieutenant Richards. Six zero, the Brigadier is coming now. [BAMBERA] Salamander six zero, please clarify your situation. Over. [RICHARDS [OC]] Massive electrical disturbance. Over. [BAMBERA] Salamander six zero, you're breaking up. Over. (static)Salamander, do you copy? [BAMBERA] Get that vehicle on the road ASAP. [ZBRIGNIEV] They've gone. [BAMBERA] Must be the storm. [ZBRIGNIEV] I don't like this weather. --------------------------------------- (Spacecraft) [MORGAINE [in ball]] At last, he is revealed to us. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [ACE] Professor, why is it dark in here? [DOCTOR] Quiet, Ace. I'm working. [ACE] Oh, is that why it's dark? [DOCTOR] Yes. [ACE] What's that noise? [DOCTOR] A cry in the dark. [ACE] A distress signal? [DOCTOR] A cry for help. Perhaps a summoning. [ACE] Where's it coming from? [DOCTOR] Earth. Rippling out through the cosmos, forward in time,backwards in time and sideways in time. [ACE] Sideways in time? [DOCTOR] Yes, sideways in time, across the boundaries that divide oneuniverse from another. [ACE] Weird. This cry, who's it for? [DOCTOR] For? I don't know. [ACE] Perhaps if we went there? Where's it coming from again? [DOCTOR] Earth. A few years in your future. [ACE] It's giving me the creeps. What does it mean? [DOCTOR] We'll know in a moment, once we've deciphered it. [VOICE [OC]] Merlin. Merlin. [ACE] Wherever it is it's coming from, I don't think we want to gothere. [DOCTOR] Too late. We've already arrived. --------------------------------------- (UNIT Range Rover) [BAMBERA] Salamander six zero, this is Seabird one. Are you receivingme? Over. [ZBRIGNIEV] Brigadier. [BAMBERA] What now? [ZBRIGNIEV] Hitchhikers. [BAMBERA] Oh, shame. --------------------------------------- (Track) [ACE] Don't stop, then! I don't care! [DOCTOR] I don't think this'll stop either. [ACE] Don't be such a pessimist, Professor. [WARMSLY] Where are you heading? [DOCTOR] North east. [WARMSLY] Right, climb aboard. Come to see the dig, have you? [DOCTOR] Ah, archaeological dig? [WARMSLY] Yes, actually. Oh, sorry, Haven't introduced myself. I'm PeterWarmsly. I'm site manager for the Carbury Trust Conservation Area. --------------------------------------- (Carbury Range Rover) [ACE] I'm Ace, and this is the Doctor. [WARMSLY] The dig, as a matter of fact, is a hobby. A battlefield. [ACE] What battlefield? [PETER] I hate that sound, don't you. Sometimes at night I lie therelistening, thinking it might be [DOCTOR] The beginning of something terrible. [ACE] What was that? [PETER] The military use the area as a firing range. Never understoodwhy. [DOCTOR] Blowing the occasional chunk out of the earth keeps themamused. [ACE] It didn't sound like a shell. --------------------------------------- (Overlooking the lake) [BAMBERA] Oh, very good. Why not drive the missile into the lake? [ACE] Professor? [DOCTOR] Yes. The transmission's definitely coming from over there. [ACE] Professor. [ACE] It's a missile convoy. [DOCTOR] A nuclear missile convoy. [ACE] How do you know? [DOCTOR] It has a graveyard stench. --------------------------------------- (Convoy) [WARMSLY] Warmsly's the name and I demand to see to somebody in charge. [BAMBERA] What was that? [ZBRIGNIEV] Low flying jet? [BAMBERA] Not this far south. Raise Division. Get them to check flightpaths. [ZBRIGNIEV] I'm sorry sir but we cannot get a signal out. [BAMBERA] Well, see what you can do, Zbrigniev. All this noise is makingme nervous. [SOLDIER] There's a Mister Warmsly who wants to speak to an officer. [ZBRIGNIEV] Brigadier! There's a Mister Warmsly who wants to speak tosomebody in charge. [BAMBERA] You talk to him, Zbrigniev. I've got enough troubles. [ACE] Didn't sound like a shell. More like a couple of rockets. [DOCTOR] Close. [DOCTOR] What we need is something to help us. [DOCTOR] Wait a minute. Ah yes, of course! I never thought I'd needthese again. [DOCTOR] This should remove a few obstacles. [ACE] Who's Elizabeth Shaw? I don't even look like her. [DOCTOR] Oh, never mind. Just think like a physicist. --------------------------------------- (UNIT Mobile Command post) [DOCTOR] Now, what seems to be the problem? [BAMBERA] Excuse me? [DOCTOR] Well, you've had an explosion in your electronics, haven't you? [ACE] An electro-magnetic pulse effect. [BAMBERA] Make yourself at home. [DOCTOR] Caused by? [ACE] A nuclear explosion, usually. [BAMBERA] I think I would have noticed a nuclear explosion. [DOCTOR] Yes, well, they are conspicuous. [ACE] Well, if there was no nuke, where did the energy pulse come from? [DOCTOR] Exactly. [BAMBERA] All systems failures were the result of a minor technicaldifficulty. [BAMBERA] I don't know where you got these from, but I intend to findout. Show these two out. [DOCTOR] I'd just like to say three things. [BAMBERA] What? [DOCTOR] Yeti, Autons, Daleks. Cybermen and Silurians! --------------------------------------- (Outside the Mobile Command post) [ACE] That was five things. [DOCTOR] She didn't even notice. Among all the varied wonders of theuniverse there's nothing so firmly clamped shut as the military mind. --------------------------------------- (UNIT Mobile Command post) [BAMBERA] Well done, Zbrigniev. Two civilians waltzup with a pair of antiquated pass cards and you let them in. Why? [ZBRIGNIEV] Sir. [BAMBERA] You know something. What is it? [ZBRIGNIEV] Off the record, sir. [BAMBERA] Off the record. [ZBRIGNIEV] When I served under Lethbridge Stewart, we had a scientificadvisor called the Doctor. [BAMBERA] The man outside. [ZBRIGNIEV] No, sir, but [BAMBERA] But? [ZBRIGNIEV] He changed his appearance, several times. [BAMBERA] A disguise. [ZBRIGNIEV] No, sir. The word was he changed his whole physicalappearance. [BAMBERA] His whole appearance. [ZBRIGNIEV] And his personality. [BAMBERA] How could he be the same man if his appearance and personalityhave changed? [ZBRIGNIEV] I don't know, sir. [BAMBERA] What do you know, Zbrigniev? [ZBRIGNIEV] Just that whenever this Doctor turns up [BAMBERA] Yes? [ZBRIGNIEV] All hell breaks loose. --------------------------------------- (Lethbridge- Stewart's garden) [DORIS] Alistair! Telephone for you. [BRIGADIER] Who is it? [DORIS] Hello, can you tell me who's speaking? Okay, fine. thank you.Geneva! [BRIGADIER] Oh, probably just another peace conference. Tell them I'veretired. Tell them I'd decided to fade away. [DORIS] No, I'm terribly sorry, I'm afraid he's unavailable. Okay, yes,I will. Thank you. Bye, bye. Alistair, that was the Secretary General. [BRIGADIER] Doris, I don't care if it was the King. I'm still retired. [DORIS] He said something about the Doctor being back. Alistair, who isthe Doctor? [BRIGADIER] I wonder how high it will get? --------------------------------------- (UNIT Range Rover) [DOCTOR] We could have walked to the hotel, you know. [BAMBERA] No problem. I thought you'd like to see Vortigern's Lake. [DOCTOR] Vortigern. That's an interesting name. [ACE] Yeah, fascinating. [DOCTOR] What's your name, by the way? [BAMBERA] Brigadier Winifred Bambera. [ACE] Winifred? [DOCTOR] There are many secrets in names. Vortigern is old British forHigh King. [ACE] Your convoy's stranded by the lake of the High King. [PAT] Can I help you? [DOCTOR] Yes. I'd like to book a room. One for myself and one for myyoung friend here. [PAT] Yes, sir. Long journey? [DOCTOR] Er, quite a distance, as it happens. [PAT] Then you'll be having a drink, sir. [ACE] Yes, please. [DOCTOR] Why not. What do you have? [PAT] What we have, sir, is possibly the finest beer in the area, evenif I do say so myself. Perhaps the best in the country. [DOCTOR] Really? [SHOU] He makes it himself in a converted barn at the end of the garden. [PAT] It's in the CAMRA guide. We call it Arthur's Ale. [SHOU] Vodka and coke, Pat. [DOCTOR] Glass of water, please. Ace? [ACE] Oh, vodka and [DOCTOR] Ace? [ACE] Lemonade, please. [SHOU] Good choice. [ACE] Lemonade? [SHOU] Anything but the beer. [DOCTOR] Hello, I'm The Doctor, and this is my friend [SHOU] Ace. [PAT] There we are, sir. Five pounds, please. [ACE] How much? [DOCTOR] Remember, we are in the future. [DOCTOR] There, a five pound piece. [PAT] Thank you, sir. [DOCTOR] Do you mind? It's a very valuable piece of coinage. --------------------------------------- (Track) [SOLDIER [OC]] Assume maximum alert. If the Doctor is involved, look outfor a police telephone box. [BAMBERA] Look out for what? [BAMBERA] Oh, shame. --------------------------------------- (Gore Crow Hotel) [SHOU] So you've met Peter? [DOCTOR] Mmm. Very knowledgeable fellow. [SHOU] Hmm, it's one way of putting it. He's got this thing about KingArthur. Digs things up out of the ground by the lake. [DOCTOR] Well, he is an archaeologist. [SHOU] Can't see it myself, all that patient scraping about. You know, Iget the urge to bung half a kilo of TNT down the hole and bring it allup in one go. [ACE] Now you're talking! [DOCTOR] The point of archaeology is to carefully recover the past, notdisintegrate it. [SHOU] Wouldn't make much difference. The only half decent thing Peter'sever found is that scabbard. [ACE] You could use something with more brisance. [SHOU] More brisance? Than trinitrotoluene? Like what? [DOCTOR] How remarkable. [ACE] Tell you outside. [SHOU] Why outside? [ACE] He gets upset when I talk about explosives. [ELIZABETH] Interesting, isn't it? [DOCTOR] Yes. [ELIZABETH] I wish I could see what it looks like. I can feel itspresence sometimes. Touch it. [DOCTOR] My, it's hot. No, no. Now it's cold. [ELIZABETH] Every so often I get the strangest feeling about it. [DOCTOR] What kind of feeling? [ELIZABETH] Oh, that it's waiting for something. Stupid, really. [DOCTOR] Waiting for something, or someone. --------------------------------------- (Track) [BAMBERA] Oh, shame. --------------------------------------- (Lethbridge- Stewart's garden) [BRIGADIER] I'm surprised it still fits. [DORIS] I should have thrown it out while I had the chance. [DORIS] And that, too. You could have said no. [BRIGADIER] I could have, Doris, but I still have my duty. [DORIS] This isn't duty. You want to go. I mean, do I? All this means solittle to you. [BRIGADIER] I will be coming back. [DORIS] You don't need to go. You don't need to go on playing soldierany more. [BRIGADIER] I'm not playing. --------------------------------------- (Spacecraft) [MORGAINE [in ball]] There is the enemy. Kill him. --------------------------------------- (Gore Crow Hotel) [WARMSLY] Elizabeth! Ah, I need to use your telephone. The one in my carisn't working. [WARMSLY] Yes. Call. External. Sedgewick. Carbury Trust. [DOCTOR] Mister Warmsly, just the person. [WARMSLY] There's a convoy just off the road by the lake with a nuclearmissile in. [TELEPHONE] There is a fault on the line. There is a fault [WARMSLY] Yes. Off. [DOCTOR] This scabbard. [WARMSLY] The line's dead. [DOCTOR] This scabbard. Where did you find it? [WARMSLY] Here, locally. Why? [DOCTOR] Where? [WARMSLY] For the scabbard's worth [BOTH] Ten of the sword. [WARMSLY] Said Merlin. Yeah. Hey, careful with it. It was found here, atthe dig by the lake. [DOCTOR] What period? [WARMSLY] Does it matter? Eighth century AD. [DOCTOR] No, no, no. It's been waiting around longer than that. [WARMSLY] Waiting for what? --------------------------------------- (Spacecraft) [MORGAINE [in ball]] Waiting for me! --------------------------------------- (Lethbridge-Stewart's garden) [DORIS] Alistair, I found this. You'd forgotten it. [BRIGADIER] Oh, thank you. [DORIS] You will be careful. [BRIGADIER] Of course. I've always been careful. Don't worry. I'll sortall this out and then come home. [DORIS] Okay. They're waiting for you. --------------------------------------- (Hotel garden) [ACE] Well, it was obvious I was never going to bethe world's greatest artist. Anyway, Mrs Parkinson the art teacherasked me what it is, right, so I told her it was a lump of schoolplasticine. Well, I couldn't tell her what it really was. [SHOU] The home made gelignite. [ACE] So, we're in the school corridor by now and Mrs Parkinson asks meto put what she thinks is school plasticine back in the art room. [SHOU] So what did you do? [ACE] I tossed it over my shoulder, like that. [ACE] Landed right in the middle of class one C's prize winning potterypig collection. [ACE] And boom! [SHOU] Boom? [ACE] Boom! [SHOU] It's hit the brewery! [ACE] We'd better get the Doctor. [DOCTOR] Good idea. Did you see it? [ACE] Yeah. [DOCTOR] And? [ACE] It looked like a bloke. [DOCTOR] A bloke, flying through the air? [SHOU] And then through a wall. --------------------------------------- (Outside the brewery) [DOCTOR] You two, stay here. [ACE] Be serious, Professor. [SHOU] What's going on? [ACE] You'd better ask the Professor. [SHOU] What's going on? [DOCTOR] Shush. --------------------------------------- (Brewery) [ACE] Doctor? [DOCTOR] Yes. [ACE] I can't see anything. [SHOU] What was that? [ACE] Is it an android? [DOCTOR] No, it's a human. [ANCELYN] Merlin. Against all hope. [SHOU] Merlin? [ACE] You've got it wrong, mate. This is the Doctor. [ANCELYN] Oh, he has many faces, but in my reckoning, he is Merlin. [DOCTOR] You recognise my face, then? [ANCELYN] No, not your aspect, but your manner that betrays you. Do younot ride the ship of time? Does it not deceive the senses being largerwithin than out? Merlin, cease these games and tell me truly, is thisthe time? [DOCTOR] Time for what? [ANCELYN] Thou dost not know? Truly? [ACE] Do you think he'd be asking if he did, tin head? [ANCELYN] Why, the answer to Excalibur's call. The time of restitution.The time when Arthur rises to lead the Britons to war. [DOCTOR] Vortigern's Lake, of course. Can you walk? [SHOU] Can someone answer a simple question? [ACE] What's wrong, Doctor? [SHOU] Can someone tell me what on Earth is going on? [DOCTOR] Well, if my hunch is right, the Earth could be at the centre ofa war that doesn't even belong to this dimension. [BAMBERA] Freeze! Everyone stand nice and easy. [DOCTOR] Listen, Winifred. We've got to be somewhere urgently, so pleaseget out of the way. [BAMBERA] You're all under arrest. You and your freaky friends. [ACE] Who are you calling freaky? [DOCTOR] I can sort this out. Look, if I can just explain. [MORDRED] Kill them! Kill them now. --------------------------------------- (Brewery) [BAMBERA] I'm an armed military officer. You areunder arrest. Lay your weapons down and put your hands in the air. [DOCTOR] Winifred, this is not the way. [BAMBERA] Put the guns down! [DOCTOR] Listen, now that we're all here, let me introduce myself. I amthe Doctor and this is [ANCELYN] Mordred. [MORDRED] Ancelyn. Fitting that you should die amongst peasants. [ANCELYN] Look again, Mordred. [DOCTOR] Do you recognise me? [MORDRED] Merlin! [ACE] Not again. [MORDRED] You were bound. My mother sealed you into the ice caves forall eternity. [DOCTOR] I am the master of time. I cannot be bound so easily. [MORDRED] Master of lies. [ANCELYN] Beware your tongue, Mordred. Have you so easily forgottenBaden, hmm? The way he cast down your mother with his mighty arts. [DOCTOR] Yes, remember Baden and my mighty arts. Do you think I woulduse mere trickery against someone as formidable as you? Go, before Iunleash a terrible something on you. [ANCELYN] Go, Mordred, while you still live. [MORDRED] There will be a reckoning, Ancelyn. I have sworn it. As foryou, Merlin, my mother has waited twelve centuries to face you. Youwill bow down before her this time. [ACE] Who was he? [DOCTOR] That was Mordred, and his mother is Morgaine, a mightysorceress. [SHOU] You know these guys then? [DOCTOR] Never met them before. --------------------------------------- (Helicopter) [LAVEL] ATC Docklands, this Uniform November niner zero. Requestclearance for London Central. Over. Thank you, Docklands. Over. We areclear all the way to London, sir. [BRIGADIER] Right, I want an exclusion zone around the whole of theCarbury area, extending for one mile. One and a half kilometres outsidethe limit of radio jamming. [LAVEL] I'm sorry, sir, but the bulk of the European UNITcommitment is handling the Azanian ceasefire. [BRIGADIER] Well, who's left? [LAVEL] The Czech engineering group. Flood relief in the low countries.They can be at the site by tomorrow. [BRIGADIER] Put it into motion. [LAVEL] Sir. [BRIGADIER] Oh, and Lavel? [LAVEL] Sir? [BRIGADIER] The officer who requested the information on the Doctor,this Brigadier Bambera. Good man, is he? --------------------------------------- (Hotel grounds) [DOCTOR] Brigadier Bambera, if we're going to worktogether, you've got to stop shooting at everything that moves. [BAMBERA] Not you. I want to talk to you. [ANCELYN] I am Ancelyn ap Gwalchmai, Knight General of the Britons. I donot talk to peasants. [BAMBERA] You'll talk to me. [ACE] Professor! [DOCTOR] Oh, ignore them. They're just establishing their credentials. [ACE] They've got a funny way of doing it. [DOCTOR] Don't worry about them. [SHOU] What should we worry about? [DOCTOR] Sorcery. --------------------------------------- (Castle) [MORDRED] Here is the convocation. This we make the meeting place. Thepoint between two worlds. [MORDRED] Two universes. Two realities. --------------------------------------- (Gore Crow Hotel) [DOCTOR] No one's to go outside. [ELIZABETH] I heard gunshots earlier. [DOCTOR] Exactly. [PAT] Why not? [DOCTOR] There are things out there in the dark you wouldn't want tomeet. [WARMSLY] What was that? [BAMBERA] Come on, move it, will you. Get in. Brigadier Bambera. [DOCTOR] What happened to you? [ANCELYN] She vanquished me, and I threw myself on her mercy. [BAMBERA] As of now, I'm in charge. Everyone remain calm. We'll soonhave everything under control. [DOCTOR] I doubt that. --------------------------------------- (Castle) [MORDRED] By this sword, brother to Excalibur, Ipart the curtain of night. --------------------------------------- (Gore Crow Hotel) [WARMSLY] What's that noise? [PAT] What noise? [WARMSLY] That noise! [DOCTOR] Which way does that wall face? [WARMSLY] Excuse me, but three inches to the left [PAT] North, towards the lake. --------------------------------------- (Helicopter) [ATC [OC]] Docklands ATC to Uniform November niner zero.Clear for final approach. Over. [LAVEL] Roger, Docklands ATC. Commencing approach now.We'll be landing in London shortly, sir. --------------------------------------- (Castle) [MORDRED] Across the abyss, life calls to life,biomass to biomass, energy to energy. To Avallion I summon thee frombeyond the confines of this universe. --------------------------------------- (Gore Crow Hotel) [BAMBERA] Another storm. Just what we need. [DOCTOR] Stay where you are. [WARMSLY] An earthquake? [SHOU] Doctor! [BAMBERA] What's going on, Doctor? [DOCTOR] I don't know, but I've got some nasty suspicions. [SHOU] An earthquake? In England? [DOCTOR] No. Someone is creating a rip in the fabric of time and space. [ANCELYN] She is coming. [BAMBERA] What are you talking about? Who's coming? [ACE] You can feel it? [DOCTOR] Yes. I'm uniquely sensitive. Argh! Gah! [ACE] Doctor! What is it? --------------------------------------- (Castle) [MORDRED] Immortal Morgaine, ageless and deathless. [MORGAINE] Mordred. [MORDRED] Mother, Merlin is here. [MORGAINE] Yes, I can feel his presence. [MORDRED] He has a new countenance. [MORGAINE] He has worn many faces. Merlin, hear me. --------------------------------------- (Gore Crow Hotel) [DOCTOR] (through gritted teeth) I hear you. --------------------------------------- (Castle) [MORGAINE] Do not stand against me this time, foryour soul's sake. --------------------------------------- (Gore Crow Hotel) [DOCTOR] I cannot allow your interference. --------------------------------------- (Castle) [MORGAINE] Then, Merlin, let this be our lastbattlefield. --------------------------------------- (Gore Crow Hotel) [DOCTOR] Good morning. --------------------------------------- (Helicopter) [LAVEL] How did it go, sir? [BRIGADIER] Oh, usual bureaucracy. Inch thick forms and half a pint ofblood. [LAVEL] That's London for you. [BRIGADIER] Funny how it looks beautiful at sunrise. [LAVEL] Never noticed. Seen one heliport and you've seen them all. Wherenow, sir? [BRIGADIER] Carbury, where the action is. --------------------------------------- (Dig site) [DOCTOR] And you excavated all this yourself? [WARMSLY] Labour of love, really. [DOCTOR] Impressive. [WARMSLY] And I did have some help from Shou Yuing. [DOCTOR] And where did you find the scabbard? [WARMSLY] By that marker. [ACE] How long did it take? [WARMSLY] Oh, about ten years so far. [ACE] Ten years? [WARMSLY] Archeology is a precise and delicate skill. History has to beeased out of the earth one painstaking layer at a time. [ACE] I still think ten years is a bit of a long time. [ACE] What's this? [WARMSLY] Ah, now that's a bit of a mystery. No one's been able todecipher the carving. [DOCTOR] It says, Dig Hole Here. [WARMSLY] Extraordinary. What does it say that in? [DOCTOR] My handwriting. Ace, we need a hole. [ACE] Right. How long? [DOCTOR] Er, sixty seconds should be long enough. [WARMSLY] Long enough for what? [DOCTOR] Nothing to worry about. My young friend's something of anexpert. [WARMSLY] What, in archeology? [DOCTOR] No, explosives. [WARMSLY] What? [DOCTOR] Down! [DOCTOR] Ace? [ACE] I think the timer needs work. [DOCTOR] One of these days we're going to have a nice long talk aboutacceptable safety standards. --------------------------------------- (Helicopter) [BRIGADIER] Has Major Husak reported in yet? [LAVEL] No, sir. London says that the area of radio interference isexpanding. [BRIGADIER] Well, see if you can raise him from here. Can you speakCzechoslovakian? [LAVEL] Only when I'm drunk, sir. --------------------------------------- (Woods) [BAMBERA] He'd better not be gone when we get there. [ANCELYN] You cannot hold the Doctor. He goes where he will. [BAMBERA] Shut up and run, Ancelyn. [ANCELYN] My lady. [BAMBERA] You call me my lady once more and I'll break your nose. --------------------------------------- (Helicopter) [LAVEL] I can't see anybody around. [BRIGADIER] Looks like some damage to that barn. [LAVEL] I can see a possible landing zone. Everything looks peaceful. [BRIGADIER] Yes, very peaceful. Are you armed, Lieutenant? [LAVEL] Yes, sir. [BRIGADIER] Well, check it's loaded and take us in. --------------------------------------- (Churchyard) [MORGAINE] What can you see? [MORDRED] A flying machine. Tis like an ornithopter but with whirlingblades for wings. [MORGAINE] The people of this world are obsessed with machinery. [MORDRED] It would seem so. [MORGAINE] Well then, let us teach them the limitations of theirtechnologies. --------------------------------------- (Helicopter) [LAVEL] Malfunction, sir. [BRIGADIER] What? [LAVEL] It felt like something hit us. This could be rough. --------------------------------------- (Dig site) [ACE] What's down there? [WARMSLY] Don't ask me. I've only been excavating this site for tenyears. [DOCTOR] With a bit of luck, a tunnel. [ACE] A dark, mysterious one? [DOCTOR] Probably. [ACE] Leading to unknown dangers? [DOCTOR] Indubitably. [ACE] Oh, wicked! [DOCTOR] Peter, Ace and I are going to investigate this tunnel. You stayhere and guard it. Don't let anyone come in here. [WARMSLY] What am I supposed to do, lecture them on archeology? [DOCTOR] Yes. --------------------------------------- (Helicopter) [BRIGADIER] Can you get us down? [LAVEL] Down is not the problem. --------------------------------------- (Tunnel) [ACE] It's damp. [DOCTOR] Well, we are under the lake. [ACE] And this wall's made of concrete. [DOCTOR] Hmm. It's gone soft with age. This was built in the eighthcentury. [ACE] But they didn't have concrete in those days. [DOCTOR] No, they didn't. [ACE] Thought so. [ACE] Doctor? [DOCTOR] Don't worry, Ace. It's only a trap. --------------------------------------- (Clearing) [BRIGADIER] Five million pounds worth of aircraft, and we've lost it. [LAVEL] If they make us pay for that [BRIGADIER] We'll be poor for the rest of our lives. [BRIGADIER] Pulled a ligament? [LAVEL] Oh good. I thought it might be something serious. [BRIGADIER] I'll see if I can get some help from the village. [LAVEL] But sir, we don't know what the situation is here. [BRIGADIER] The situation, Lavel, is normal. It doesn't get much worsethan that. You know, I think I'm rather enjoying this. --------------------------------------- (Churchyard) [MORDRED] Tis a shrine to those fallen in battle. [MORGAINE] So, they are not the savages you led us to believe. Youfought on their soil without proper respect for the dead. [MORDRED] Mother, I [MORGAINE] You have dishonoured us, Mordred. What is victory withouthonour? Leave us! [MORGAINE] What manner of man are you? [MORGAINE] A warrior, no less. How goes the day? [BRIGADIER] I've had better. [MORGAINE] I am Morgaine, the sun killer. Dominator of the thirteenworlds and Battle Queen of the S'Rax. What say you? [BRIGADIER] I am Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart. Surrender now, and we canavoid bloodshed. --------------------------------------- (Dig site) [BAMBERA] Where's the Doctor? [WARMSLY] Did you know that it takes one year to uncover one centimetreon a site this big? But now, delay not. Take the sword and fling himfar into the middle mere. Watch what thou seest and lightly bring meword. --------------------------------------- (Spacecraft entrance) [DOCTOR] Ancelyn's people must have built this tunnel. [ACE] Looks fishy to me. [DOCTOR] This is no place for humour. [ACE] Professor? [DOCTOR] Hmm? [ACE] Where does Ancelyn come from? [DOCTOR] Another dimension. Sideways in time from another universe. [ACE] Not a local boy, then. [DOCTOR] The question is, how do we get through here? --------------------------------------- (Graveyard) [BRIGADIER] Let me see if I've understood youcorrectly. You are holding a Remembrance ceremony for the dead of ourWorld Wars, a ceasefire to remain in force for the duration of saidceremony, right? [MORGAINE] Your words are strange, but that is the meaning, yes. [BRIGADIER] Right. What must I do? --------------------------------------- (Spacecraft entrance) [ACE] No coded pattern? [DOCTOR] No hidden switches. [ACE] Well, how are we going to get through the door, then? [DOCTOR] Open up. It's me. --------------------------------------- (Graveyard) [MORGAINE] I wish you to know that I bear you nomalice. [BRIGADIER] I understand. [MORGAINE] But when we meet again, I shall kill you. --------------------------------------- (Spacecraft entrance) [ACE] I refuse to ask how you did that. How did youdo that? [DOCTOR] Well, it came to me that it wasn't Ancelyn's people who builtthis tunnel. It was Merlin. [ACE] But everyone thinks that you're Merlin. [DOCTOR] Exactly. Door keyed to my voice pattern. Just the sort of thingI would do. [ACE] Are you Merlin? [DOCTOR] No. But I could be, in the future. That is, my personal future.Which could be the past. [ACE] Right. --------------------------------------- (Outside Gore Crow Hotel) [BRIGADIER] I'm commandeering this car, miss. [SHOU] Sorry? [BRIGADIER] The keys, please [SHOU] What? [BRIGADIER] The keys. Thank you. [SHOU] Hey, just a moment. This is my car. --------------------------------------- (Spacecraft) [ACE] This is a spaceship? [DOCTOR] More than that. It's a craft for travelling between dimensions. [ACE] It's more like being in some huge animal. Who built it? [DOCTOR] It wasn't built, it was grown. [ACE] Who grows spaceships? [DOCTOR] Very advanced bioengineers. [ACE] Ask a stupid question. Well, if they're grown, how do they fly? [DOCTOR] Magic. [ACE] Oh, be feasible, Professor. [DOCTOR] What is Clarke's law? [ACE] Any advanced form of technology is indistinguishable from magic. [DOCTOR] Well, the reverse is true. [ACE] Any advanced form of magic is indistinguishable? [ACE] From technology. [ACE] Seen one spaceship you've seen them all. [DOCTOR] Don't be so cynical, Ace. [ACE] Wow. [DOCTOR] Impressive. [ACE] That's Arthur, King of the Britons, isn't it? [DOCTOR] The legendary Arthur, yes. From another dimension, where theman was closer to the myth. But what is he doing here? [ACE] Not a lot. Is he in suspended animation? [DOCTOR] Who knows? [ACE] In eternal sleep until England's greatest need. [DOCTOR] Ace, don't touch that. [ACE] Oh, it's all right, Professor. It's not like I'm King of theBritons, is it? [DOCTOR] No, Ace! [ACE] Gordon Bennett! [DOCTOR] I hope you haven't disturbed anything. [ACE] It disturbed me. [DOCTOR] Well, I only hope you haven't disturbed anything else! [ACE] Like what? [DOCTOR] Like that. Look! [ACE] Where? [DOCTOR] I think I saw something over there. [DOCTOR] Ace, I think it's time for plan B. [ACE] We run? [DOCTOR] Yes, run! [ACE] There's no way out! [DOCTOR] Now is not the time to panic! [ACE] Doctor! [DOCTOR] Now we panic! [ACE] It's some sort of automated defence system, isn't it. [DOCTOR] Yes. When I say run, run! [DOCTOR] Not that way! [ACE] Doctor, it's a dead end! [ACE] (silent) Doctor! [DOCTOR] Hang on, Ace. [DOCTOR] I'm coming! [ACE] Doctor! --------------------------------------- (Spacecraft) (Dig site) [WARMSLY] Yes, this site is where Arthur is supposed to have met Mordredin the final battle, and this lake, where Bedivere threw Excalibur. [ANCELYN] What do you know of Excalibur? [WARMSLY] King Arthur's sword, Excalibur, wrought by the lonely maidenof the lake, who rose up out of the water holding the sword Excaliburaloft. [ANCELYN] This lake? [WARMSLY] Thou rememberest how, in those old days, one summer noon, anarm rose up from out the bosom of the lake clothed in white samite,mystic, wonderful, holding the sword. And how I rode acrossand took it, and have worn it, like a king. It's all a myth,really. Honestly, women in water holding swords? [BAMBERA] Look! [WARMSLY] It's that wretched girl! [BAMBERA] What are you doing in the lake? [ACE] Drowning. Here, you can be King of England. [ANCELYN] It's Excalibur. [ACE] That's what I said, Shakespeare. [BAMBERA] Where's the Doctor? [ACE] In a spaceship, down there! He's in trouble. We've got to helphim. [SHOU] Oi! [ANCELYN] Truly, the time of restitution has come. --------------------------------------- (Spacecraft) [DOCTOR] Come out, come out, wherever you are, youlittle tapeworm. [DOCTOR] (cough) Oh. [BRIGADIER] I just can't let you out of my sight, can I, Doctor? [DOCTOR] Brigadier Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart. So you recogniseme, then? [BRIGADIER] Yes. Who else would it be? --------------------------------------- (Gore Crow Hotel) [ELIZABETH] Who are you? What do you want? Pat! Come quickly, Patrick! --------------------------------------- (Dig site) [BAMBERA] Two people were down there and you didn't tell me. [WARMSLY] Well, I [BAMBERA] Down there, in a trap. [ACE] Yeah. Let's you in but it doesn't let you out. [WARMSLY] Yes, well, Ace got out all right. [BAMBERA] But the Doctor is still down there. [SHOU] And the Brigadier. [BAMBERA] I am the Brigadier. [BRIGADIER] So am I. [ACE] Hey, I thought it let you in but it doesn't let you out. [DOCTOR] It let me out. [BAMBERA] Brigadier, I thought you'd retired. [BRIGADIER] So did I, Brigadier. Now, is the perimeter secure?This whole area is crawling with armed extra-terrestrials and they'rehostile. [DOCTOR] Same as ever, eh, Brigadier? --------------------------------------- (Churchyard) [MORGAINE] He has possession ofExcalibur. Knight Commander. [COMMANDER] My lady. [MORGAINE] Take your men along that road. Seek out those who holdExcalibur and take the sword from them. [COMMANDER] And if they resist? [MORGAINE] Give them an honourable death. --------------------------------------- (Dig site) [ANCELYN] My lord Merlin. [BRIGADIER] Merlin? [ANCELYN] Oh, he has many names. [BRIGADIER] He has many faces. And he has many companions. This must bethe latest one. [BAMBERA] We've checked the perimeter. Doctor Warmsly is staying withthe vehicles. [BRIGADIER] Oh, thank you, Bambera. Oh, see if you can get a blanket forthis young lady, will you? [BAMBERA] Yes, sir. Perhaps I should make some tea, too. [BRIGADIER] Well, are you all right, Miss? [ACE] Just call me the latest one, and I can get my own blanket. [BRIGADIER] Oh dear. Women. Not really my field. [DOCTOR] Don't worry, Brigadier. People will be shooting at you soon. --------------------------------------- (Gore Crow Hotel) [PAT] Elizabeth? [ELIZABETH] Pat, is that you? [PAT] You all right? [ELIZABETH] Yes, I'm fine. I'm all right. [MORDRED] Your wife? [PAT] Yes. [MORDRED] With your aspect, it is well that she is blind. [LAVEL] Do you have a phone? [MORDRED] So, what have we here? [MORDRED] Ah, there is light in this grey world. [LAVEL] Don't move. [MORDRED] Am I to do nothing? [LAVEL] Yeah, you can get the tab if you like. [MORDRED] Light and fire. Come, drink with me! [LAVEL] I said, don't move. [MORDRED] Oh, I would wish for kinder words. [MORGAINE] Mordred. Who is this? [MORDRED] A warrior maid. [MORGAINE] A warrior? Good. I would learn the strength of their forces. [LAVEL] Stay back or I'll shoot. [MORGAINE] Be silent. [MORGAINE] Rest here and tell me. [MORGAINE] Ah. [MORGAINE] Quietly, my child. [MORGAINE] Now we know, Mordred. [PAT] You can't leave her like that. [MORGAINE] Did my son drink well? Oh, I see that it is so. I must getthe tab. [PAT] Get away from here, you [ELIZABETH] I can see. Patrick, I can see! --------------------------------------- (Dig site) [BRIGADIER] Oh, Bambera, take the other car, will you? [BAMBERA] Yes, sir. Come on, Ancelyn. Looks like we get the deck chair. [ANCELYN] My lady is vexed. [DOCTOR] We might run into trouble. [BRIGADIER] Oh really, Doctor? You do surpriseme. [ACE] Winifred isn't following. [BRIGADIER] Good lord, is that her name? [BAMBERA] Now I'm vexed. [ANCELYN] What do you seek? [BAMBERA] Stay out of this. You don't even live here. [ANCELYN] Perhaps these? [BAMBERA] (snatching them) No. --------------------------------------- (Carbury Range Rover) [DOCTOR] Something's wrong. [BRIGADIER] What? [DOCTOR] We haven't been attacked yet. [BRIGADIER] Down! [SHOU] Are they gone? [WARMSLY] Who were they? [BRIGADIER] Now, Doctor, we've been attacked. Happy? [DOCTOR] Yes. [BRIGADIER] Oh, good. [DOCTOR] As long as Morgaine's people are shooting at us, she won't beusing more obscure methods of attack. [BRIGADIER] Such as? [DOCTOR] I don't know, and I don't want to find out. --------------------------------------- (Castle) [MORDRED] The Knight Commander will stop them. [MORGAINE] Stop Merlin? No, I will deal with Merlin in my own manner. --------------------------------------- (Citroen 2CV) [BRIGADIER [OC]] Over. [BAMBERA] Copy you, Greyhound. Will act accordingly. Over. You're froman alternative dimension? [ANCELYN] Yes. [BAMBERA] Good. You don't have cars there? [ANCELYN] No. [BAMBERA] Good. Hold on to this wheel. [COMMANDER] Magnificent! --------------------------------------- (Carbury Range Rover) [BAMBERA [OC]] This is Seabird. Piece of cake, Greyhound One. We'll bewith you shortly. [BRIGADIER] Much relieved to hear it, Seabird. [ACE] Professor, there's a whole pile of tinheads setting up on the roaddown there. [DOCTOR] Brigadier, tell Bambera she's in trouble. --------------------------------------- (Citroen 2CV) [BAMBERA] So, you married or what? --------------------------------------- (Carbury Range Rover) [ACE] We've got to help them. [BRIGADIER] Well, what do you want us to do? The area's swarming withMorgaine's troops. [ACE] Doctor? [ACE] No. [BRIGADIER] Better get back to the hotel. --------------------------------------- (Outside Gore Crow Hotel) [ELIZABETH] I can do it myself. [PAT] You'll have to excuse my wife. Half an hour ago she was blind.Now, just who are you? [HUSAK] Major Husak, sir. [PAT] Hmm. You're not English, are you. [HUSAK] No, sir. If you'd please get into the vehicle. [BRIGADIER] Everything under control? [HUSAK] No, sir. [BRIGADIER] Don't worry, Major. You'll soon get the hang of it. Oh, thisis the Doctor. Yeah, well, don't let him baffle you. And this is PeterWarmsly. [HUSAK] Ah, Mister Warmsly. If you'd join Mister Rawlinson in thevehicle, we'll evacuate you from the area. [PAT] Excuse me, there are a few questions I want answered. [WARMSLY] And I have absolutely no intention of being evacuated. Thisarea is where I live. [DOCTOR] You're very angry. [PAT] Of course we're angry. [DOCTOR] And you want to leave. [WARMSLY] No, we do not want to leave. [DOCTOR] Of course you want to leave. [PAT] Of course we do. [DOCTOR] I wouldn't stand for any nonsense, if I were you. [WARMSLY] Look, Doctor, the situation is perfectly simple. We are veryangry and we [WARMSLY] Want to leave. Is that right, Pat? [PAT] Don't get in our way. [DOCTOR] I wouldn't dream of it. [PAT] Just no reasoning with these people. [HUSAK] At the risk of being baffled, sir, I have one more evacuee on mylist. A young lady. [DOCTOR] She seems to have disappeared. [BRIGADIER] Well, there you have it, Major. [DOCTOR] You've got enough weapons here to fight a war. [BRIGADIER] That's the general idea. [DOCTOR] It'll be useless, Brigadier. [BRIGADIER] Not this time, Doctor. Over here! [BRIGADIER] Open that box, will you? [BRIGADIER] Armour piercing, solid core, with a Teflon coating. Gothrough a Dalek. [DOCTOR] A non-stick bullet. [BRIGADIER] UNIT's been very busy, Doctor. We've also got high-explosiverounds for Yeti's and very efficient armour-piercing rounds for robots.And we've even got gold-tipped bullets for you know what. [DOCTOR] No silver? [BRIGADIER] Silver bullets? [DOCTOR] Well, you never know. [BRIGADIER] Quartermaster Sergeant! Silver bullets. Have we any? [ACE] You can come out now, they've gone. [SHOU] That was close. I nearly got evacuated. [ACE] You may wish you had. --------------------------------------- (Gore Crow Hotel) [ACE] What's that? [DOCTOR] A shadow. [ACE] Professor, we've sussed out where the legend of King Arthur camefrom. [BRIGADIER] I'm sorry, miss, er, young lady, but the Doctor and I haveimportant matters to discuss. [ACE] We reckon that when Ancelyn's lot dumped the freeze-dried king inthe lake they must have told the story to some local. [SHOU] But they couldn't handle the more outré aspects. [ACE] So they translated it into terms they could understand. And so oldfrozen chicken becomes King of the Britons. [BRIGADIER] Doctor, I really must [DOCTOR] No, Brigadier, this is important. [ACE] Since that's Excalibur [DOCTOR] It must be the source of Arthur's power. [ACE] And a vital control element to the spaceship under the lake. Itwasn't stuck in the stone, it was plugged in. [DOCTOR] Could be. [ACE] I bet Ancelyn knows. Knew. [BRIGADIER] Major Husak is leading a detachment to recover the bodies ofBrigadier Bambera and Ancelyn. [ACE] What good are their bodies? [BRIGADIER] UNIT looks after its own, alive or dead, and I want theseashes buried with honour. --------------------------------------- (Track) [HUSAK] Husak to HQ. The Seabirds are still operational. I repeat, theSeabirds are still operational. --------------------------------------- (Gore Crow Hotel) [BRIGADIER] Doctor! Bambera and Ancelyn are alive. [DOCTOR] They're alive? [BRIGADIER] And Major Husak said they seem to be heading north fromhere. [DOCTOR] Towards the missile convoy. [BRIGADIER] Yes. Bambera's own unit is there. [DOCTOR] But if they lead Morgaine's troops [BRIGADIER] It's a fully armed nuclear missile. [DOCTOR] If there's an accident. We'd better stop any engagement. Haveyou got a helicopter available? [BRIGADIER] Oh, better than that, Doctor. --------------------------------------- (Outside Gore Crow Hotel) [DOCTOR] Ah ha! Bessie! [BRIGADIER] Well, I knew how fond of it you were, so when you last wenton your travels I had it put in mothballs. [ACE] Does it run on petrol or steam? --------------------------------------- (Woods) [BAMBERA] Ancelyn! Ancelyn! Can't you do anything quietly? [BAMBERA] You're going to bring Morgaine's whole army down on us. [ANCELYN] Let them come. Do you not know I am the best knight in theworld? [BAMBERA] Ancelyn. [ANCELYN] Yes, my lady? [BAMBERA] In this world we have a great and honourable tradition oftactical withdrawal. [ANCELYN] Ah, you wish to run away. Well, there can be but thirty ofthem at the most. [BAMBERA] If you don't start running, I'll kill you myself. Now come on! [ANCELYN] Winifred? [BAMBERA] What? [ANCELYN] Art thou betrothed? [BAMBERA] Not now, Ancelyn! --------------------------------------- (Outside Gore Crow Hotel) [DOCTOR] Ace, things may get dangerous, so I wantyou to have this. [ACE] It looks like a piece of chalk. [DOCTOR] It is. I got it from the dartboard. But it will protect youagainst Morgaine's sorcery. [ACE] A piece of chalk? [DOCTOR] A piece of chalk. At the first sign of anything strange, I wantyou to draw a chalk circle, and you and Shou Yuing stay inside it alongwith Excalibur. [ACE] Right, Professor. Chalk circle. Sure. [DOCTOR] And remember, stay inside the circle. Don't leave it until Ireturn. [ACE] Doctor, you are coming back, aren't you? [DOCTOR] Trust me. Ready, Brigadier? [BRIGADIER] Ready. [ACE] Naught to sixty in twenty minutes. [SHOU] As fast as that? [DOCTOR] Appearances can be deceiving, Ace. [DOCTOR] And remember, look after Excalibur and stay in the circle. [ACE] Gordon Bennett. [SHOU] Wicked. --------------------------------------- (Castle) [MORGAINE] Merlin, you fool. To place such a trust in children. I swearthat you shall rue this day, if you live. --------------------------------------- (Gore Crow Hotel) [SHOU] What are they? [ACE] Silver bullets. [SHOU] Really? [SHOU] What did the Doctor say? At the first sign of something strange [ACE] Looks like Colonel Blimp has a fancy taste inhardware. [SHOU] You don't like him much, do you? [ACE] I like to be treated as a person, not A latest one. Anyway, Idon't trust him to guard the Professor's back. That's my job. [SHOU] Do you think that counts as strange? [ACE] Where's the chalk? --------------------------------------- (Castle) [MORGAINE] With fire, I shall summon you. Withsilver I shall bind you. --------------------------------------- (Gore Crow Hotel) [ACE] Do you think we should sprinkle holy water or something? [SHOU] I don't know. It's not my mythology. [SHOU] Ace? [ACE] Yeah? [SHOU] What's happening? --------------------------------------- (Overlooking the dig site) [BRIGADIER] Doctor, I've just received the most peculiar from the hotel. [DOCTOR] Does it say anything about Ace and Shou Yuing? [BRIGADIER] No. All it said was, night has fallen here. [DOCTOR] I'll deal with that later. First, I've got to put an end tothis bloodshed. [BRIGADIER] Oh, how, Doctor? Stand in the middle and shout stop? [DOCTOR] Good idea. --------------------------------------- (Gore Crow Hotel) [ ACE] Stupid. [SHOU] What did you say? [ACE] What? [SHOU] Nothing. [ACE] This is stupid. [SHOU] What did you call me? [ACE] I said, this is stupid. You deaf or something? [SHOU] No you didn't. I heard you. You called me stupid. [ACE] I'm not a freak. [SHOU] What? [ACE] I said, I'm not a freak. I'm Ace. Are you dumb or what? [SHOU] I'm not stupid. [ACE] Then why do you keep saying stupid things? [SHOU] That's good, coming from a reject like you. [ACE] Listen here, toad-face. Just you shut your mouth or I'll knockyour teeth in! [SHOU] I bet nobody likes you. [ACE] Shut up. [SHOU] First chance he got, the Doctor went off without you. [ACE] Shut up! Shut up! [SHOU] I bet even your parents hated your guts! [ACE] Shut up, you yellow, slant-eyed [ACE] Someone's playing games with our minds. --------------------------------------- (Castle) [MORGAINE] Oh, they breed their children strong onthis world. Huh. No matter. There shall be an end to these games. --------------------------------------- (Dig site) [BAMBERA] Get out, they're coming this way! [ANCELYN] Mordred! Face me, Mordred! Mordred! [ANCELYN] Is your army not enough to give you courage? [MORDRED] Courage? Ha, to face you, Ancelyn, who fled the field atCamlan? Ancelyn the Craven, I call you. [ANCELYN] What care I for the words of a half-man who cowers from awoman's wrath. [DOCTOR] Stop! I command it! There will be no battle here! [MORDRED] This is no battle. Tis but a ruse, a diversion. My mother hathsummoned the Destroyer, the Lord of Darkness, Eater of Worlds. Look toyour children, Merlin, for soon they shall be no more. [DOCTOR] Ace, what have I done? --------------------------------------- (Gore Crow Hotel) [MORGAINE] I am Morgaine of the Fey. I am power beyond your imagining.Surrender to me what is mine by right of conquest. Give me Excalibur. [ACE] Never! [MORGAINE] Then you shall be given over to the Destroyer. [MORGAINE] And become his handmaidens in hell. Bwahahahaha! --------------------------------------- (Dig site) [DOCTOR] Tell Morgaine to call off the Destroyer. [MORDRED] Surrender to our justice and the children will live. [DOCTOR] Your justice? Tell her to call it off or I will decapitate you. --------------------------------------- (Gore Crow Hotel) [MORGAINE] Now we shall see what is happening. Oh. He must care for youvery much to threaten my son so. Fear not. It is a deception. --------------------------------------- (Dig site) [MORGAINE [OC]] He is bluffing. [MORDRED] We know you of old, Merlin. You will not kill. [DOCTOR] I wouldn't count on it. [MORDRED] Come then, look me in the eye. End my life. [MORDRED] It is a weakness, this lack of spirit. [BRIGADIER] Try me. --------------------------------------- (Gore Crow Hotel) [MORGAINE] Ware this man, Mordred. He is steeped inblood. --------------------------------------- (Dig site) [DOCTOR] Brigadier, this is not the way. [BRIGADIER] I'm sorry, Doctor. Can Morgaine hear me? [MORDRED] Yes. [BRIGADIER] Listen to me, Morgaine. Leave my world or your son dies. [MORDRED] Deathless Morgaine. --------------------------------------- (Gore Crow Hotel) [MORDRED [OC]] Save me! [MORGAINE] Die well, my son. --------------------------------------- (Dig site) [MORDRED] Mother! --------------------------------------- (Gore Crow Hotel) [MORGAINE] Knight Commander. --------------------------------------- (Above the dig site) [COMMANDER] Your Majesty. [MORGAINE [OC]] Recommence your attack. --------------------------------------- (Gore Crow Hotel) [MORGAINE] Take no prisoners. [ACE] No! --------------------------------------- (Above the dig site) [COMMANDER] We shall make honour ourstandard. Put down your guns, draw your swords. Good steel will be ourconscience. Do them honour. Kill them all. --------------------------------------- (Dig site) [ANCELYN] This is our path, to fight and die. [BAMBERA] That's what we're paid for, so let's do it with some style! [MORDRED] My mother will destroy you. [BRIGADIER] Just between you and me, Mordred, I'm getting a little tiredof hearing about your mother. Get in. [DOCTOR] Hold tight. --------------------------------------- (Gore Crow Hotel) [MORGAINE] Your friends will soon be dead. [MORGAINE] Now, give me Excalibur. [ACE] If you're so powerful, why don't you come and get it? [MORGAINE] An excellent suggestion. [MORGAINE] The sword is protecting you. [ACE] The Doctor was right. You can't touch us while we're in thecircle. Not while we've got the paper knife. [MORGAINE] This is true. I cannot break such an enchantment. [DESTROYER] But I can. [ACE] If you're so bad, why haven't you done anything yet? [DESTROYER] First I must be freed. This mortal has me chained. [MORGAINE] With silver. [DESTROYER] It burns. [MORGAINE] Good. [DESTROYER] She fears me. [MORGAINE] I fear nothing. [DESTROYER] Then free me, and let me claim this world. [MORGAINE] Perhaps. [ACE] What does he want the world for? [DESTROYER] Why, to devour it. What else? --------------------------------------- (Outside Gore Crow Hotel) [DOCTOR] Ace! [BRIGADIER] Doctor, no! [DOCTOR] Morgaine! If they're dead [BRIGADIER] Decisions, decisions. --------------------------------------- (Gore Crow Hotel) [DOCTOR] Ace! [BRIGADIER] Doctor, I'm afraid that Mordred m [DOCTOR] Ace? Shou Yuing? [ACE] We're here, Professor. [DOCTOR] What happened? [SHOU] The hotel fell on us. [ACE] There was this woman with a pet demon, and I seem to remember achalk circle that was supposed to protect us from harm. [DOCTOR] Yes, I get the idea, Ace. Where's Excalibur? [SHOU] Er, the woman seemed to want it very badly. [ACE] Very, very badly. [SHOU] So we gave it to her. [DOCTOR] Good. [ACE] But it's not our fault. I mean, if I'd had some Nitro, then maybeI could. What do you mean, good? [DOCTOR] Exotic alien swords are easy to come by. Aces are rare. [BRIGADIER] Doctor? What do you make of this? [DOCTOR] I don't know. Which way did Morgaine leave? [ACE] A flash of light and gone. [DOCTOR] I wonder. --------------------------------------- (Castle) [MORGAINE] Where is my army? [DESTROYER] Gone the way of all flesh. --------------------------------------- (Dig site) [ANCELYN] A good fight. [ANCELYN] You are hurt, my lady. [BAMBERA] I told you not to. Oh, never mind. --------------------------------------- (Gore Crow Hotel) [ACE] Where is she now? [DOCTOR] At the other end of that interstitial vortex. [ACE] So what's our next move? [DOCTOR] Well, first we go through this. Brigadier, I'll go first. Ace [ACE] Stay here. [DOCTOR] Correct. And you. Now, high drama is very similar to comedy.It's all a matter of [DOCTOR] Timing. [CHOU] They're going to be killed. You saw the Destroyer. [ACE] Morgaine could control the Destroyer. She had it chained up withsilver chains. Get it? [SHOU] The silver bullets! [ACE] Keep an eye on the vortex. [SHOU] It's fading. [ACE] Got them! [SHOU] It's going. What're you going to do, throw them through? [ACE] Do me a favour. Geronimo! --------------------------------------- (Castle) [DESTROYER] You would do well to release me,Morgaine. [MORGAINE] Release you? [DESTROYER] Merlin is mighty and cunning. I cannot destroy him while Iam chained. [MORGAINE] What matter? I have Excalibur. Without it, Arthur sleepsforever. Merlin cannot find me ere I leave. See! The gateway home isalmost complete. [DESTROYER] He comes even as we speak. [MORGAINE] How? He cannot come through the vortex. You have allowed himaccess. Why? [DESTROYER] So that you would be forced to release me. [DOCTOR] Morgaine. [DOCTOR] Brigadier. [BRIGADIER] Well, nothing ventured, Doctor. [DESTROYER] Nothing gained. [DOCTOR] That was uncalled for. [MORGAINE] Your move, Merlin. [DOCTOR] You haven't won the game yet, Morgaine. [MORGAINE] I could always defeat you at chess, Merlin. [DOCTOR] Who said anything about playing chess? I'm playing poker. [DOCTOR] And I have an Ace up my sleeve. [ACE] Very funny. [MORGAINE] Destroy him. [DESTROYER] Release me. [DOCTOR] What is it to be, Morgaine? Who do you fear more? [MORGAINE] This is no idle threat, Merlin. Give me Excalibur or I willloose the Destroyer upon the world. [DOCTOR] Don't be a fool. [ACE] Nice work, Doctor. [DOCTOR] But I thought she was bluffing. --------------------------------------- (Outside the castle) [MORDRED] Where is she? [BRIGADIER] To whom are you referring? --------------------------------------- (Castle) [DESTROYER] Free! [DOCTOR] You fool, Morgaine. [DOCTOR] Do you think this'll solve anything? [MORGAINE] Yes. Too late, Merlin. The gateway is open. I am gone and youhave lost. [ACE] Doctor, I've got a silver bullet! [MORDRED] Mother! [MORGAINE] Mordred? [DOCTOR] About time. [MORGAINE] You live. [MORDRED] In spite of thee, false parent. Witch! [MORGAINE] I thought you dead. [MORDRED] Thought? Or wished it so. [MORGAINE] Mordred, no. That was not the way of it. No. [ACE] Doctor, can I have a word? [BRIGADIER] Doctor? [DOCTOR] Brigadier, you're going the wrong way. Ace! [DESTROYER] At last. --------------------------------------- (Outside the castle) [DESTROYER] Devour. [BRIGADIER] What was that? [DOCTOR] That, Brigadier, was the beginning of the end of the world. [BRIGADIER] Same as ever, eh, Doctor? --------------------------------------- (Castle) [DESTROYER] I hunger. --------------------------------------- (Outside the castle) [DOCTOR] It's no good. It's not good at all. [BRIGADIER] I can have an air strike here in minutes. [DOCTOR] It's no good, Brigadier. Conventional weapons won't harm it. [BRIGADIER] No, I didn't think so. [DOCTOR] Ace, give me the silver bullets. [ACE] How did you know? [DOCTOR] Silver bullets'll do the trick. [ACE] How did you know I had them? [DOCTOR] It's all a matter of timing, Ace. Give me your gun. [BRIGADIER] What, those will stop the Destroyer? What, you just shootthe bullets into it? [DOCTOR] Simple, isn't it? Just like most killings. [BRIGADIER] Good lord, is that a spaceship? [ACE] You scumbag! [BRIGADIER] Sorry, Doctor, but I think I'm rather more expendable thanyou are. --------------------------------------- (Castle) [DESTROYER] This world shall be mine. And thenanother, and another. [DESTROYER] Ah, little man. What do you want of me? [BRIGADIER] Get off my world. --------------------------------------- (Outside the castle) [DOCTOR] We've got to stop him. --------------------------------------- (Castle) [DESTROYER] Pitiful. Can this world do no betterthan you as their champion? [BRIGADIER] Probably. I just do the best I can. --------------------------------------- (Outside the castle) [ACE] No chance. He's had it. --------------------------------------- (Dig site) [BAMBERA] Sergeant, where's that coffee? Sergeant! [MORDRED] The battle's not over yet. --------------------------------------- (Outside the castle) [DOCTOR] You stupid, stubborn, pig-headed numbskull. You were supposedto die in bed. I could have handled it, done your job. [BRIGADIER] Nonsense, Doctor. [DOCTOR] You're supposed to be dead. [BRIGADIER] Oh, really, Doctor. You don't think I'd be so stupid as tostay inside, do you? [DOCTOR] Well [BRIGADIER] Really, Doctor, have a little faith. Ace? [ACE] Yes, Brigadier. [BRIGADIER] I'm getting too old for this sort of thing. He's all yoursfrom now on. I'm going home to Doris. [DOCTOR] Doris? [BRIGADIER] Yes, my wife. [DOCTOR] Ha, ha, ha. So she caught you in the end. [BRIGADIER] Yeah. [ACE] Oi, shouldn't we be getting back? [BRIGADIER] Yes, Ace is right. I suspect there's some clearing up to bedone. [DOCTOR] Yes, just a small nuclear missile bogged down in a naturereserve. --------------------------------------- (UNIT Mobile Command post) [BAMBERA] It's a nuclear missile. The blast will kill you as well. [MORGAINE] We shall be long gone ere that happens. Now tell me, what isthe secret incantation? [BAMBERA] I don't know what you're talking about. [MORGAINE] The magic words. The failsafe release code. [BAMBERA] I've no idea. [MORGAINE] Oh, I doubt that. What is the code? --------------------------------------- (Spacecraft) [DOCTOR] Ancelyn, replace Excalibur and Arthur willarise. [ANCELYN] I think the honour belongs to the Brigadier. [BRIGADIER] Oh, the Doctor should do it. [ANCELYN] No, my lord. You were the victor. [ACE] Give me that. [DOCTOR] Ace, have you no sense of occasion? [ACE] No. [ANCELYN] Listen, she is alive. [ACE] Which is more than can be said for Arthur the freeze-dried. [DOCTOR] This is very odd. [ACE] Well, you put him there. [DOCTOR] I will put him there. [ACE] What's wrong, Doctor? [ANCELYN] Where is the King? [ACE] Doctor, this is for you. [DOCTOR] What does it say? [ACE] Dear Doctor. King died in final battle. Everything elsepropaganda. [DOCTOR] Who signed it? [ACE] The Doctor. [DOCTOR] Ah well, that sorts that out. [ACE] PS, Morgaine has just seized control of the nuclear missile. [DOCTOR] Tut. I could have given myself more warning. Brigadier, you andAce see to this ship. [BRIGADIER] Explosives, Doctor. [ACE] Now you're talking. [DOCTOR] Yes, we'll give Arthur a warrior's burial. --------------------------------------- (UNIT Mobile Command post) [MORGAINE] Too late, Merlin. [DOCTOR] Is it? Not while there's an abort button. [DOCTOR] If this missile explodes, millions will die, you will die. [MORGAINE] I shall die with honour. [DOCTOR] All over the world, fools are poised ready to let death fly. Aspark could turn into an inferno. [MORGAINE] What do I care? This is war. [DOCTOR] Is it? Death falling from the sky, blind, random, anywhere,anytime. No one is safe, no one is innocent? Machines ofdeath, Morgaine, are screaming from above, of light brighter than thesun. Not a war between armies nor a war between nations, but justdeath, death gone mad. The child looks up in the sky, his eyes turn tocinders. No more tears, only ashes. Is this honour? Is this war? Arethese the weapons you would use? Tell me! [MORGAINE] No. [DOCTOR] Then put a stop to it, Morgaine. End the madness. [MORGAINE] Then tell Arthur to face me with honour in single combat. Tellhim to show himself. It's time he ceased hiding behind your coat tails,Merlin. --------------------------------------- (Dig site) [ACE] And you said two kilos wouldn't be enough. [BRIGADIER] Hey, mind you don't get your feet wet. --------------------------------------- (UNIT Mobile Command post) [DOCTOR] Arthur is dead. [MORGAINE] No. [DOCTOR] He's dead, Morgaine. [MORGAINE] Merlin, prince of deceit. Another trick. [DOCTOR] No. [MORGAINE] I don't believe you. [DOCTOR] Don't you? [MORGAINE] It can't be. [DOCTOR] He died over a thousand years ago. [MORGAINE] Arthur, who burned like star fire. [DOCTOR] Gone. [MORGAINE] And was as beautiful. Where does he lie? I would look at himone final time. [DOCTOR] He's gone to dust. [MORGAINE] Then I shall not even have that comfort. I shall never seehim again. Arthur. We were together in the woods of Celadon. The airwas like honey. [DOCTOR] I'm sorry, Morgaine. It's over. --------------------------------------- (Dig site) [ANCELYN] I do not fear death, Mordred. You have slain my beloved. Thereis no life without her. [MORDRED] So be it. Tis time! [DOCTOR] Time and Time Lords wait for no man. [DOCTOR] Ah, Brigadier. Before Mordred recovers, lock him up. And whileyou're at it, lock up his mother. --------------------------------------- (Lethbridge-Stewart's garden) [DOCTOR] Peaceful, isn't it? [ANCELYN] The silence after a battle, Doctor. [BRIGADIER] I'm sorry, I'm not being a very good host. Are you all rightout here? [DOCTOR] Oh, just admiring the garden. [BRIGADIER] I don't suppose you've seen Doris, have you? [DORIS] Bye! [DOCTOR] I think the battle may be about to begin. [BRIGADIER] You going somewhere, dear? [DORIS] Out. [BRIGADIER] Out? [DORIS] Out, with the girls. --------------------------------------- (Lethbridge-Stewart's driveway) [DOCTOR] I thought you said this was a piece of antiquated junk? [ACE] Did I say that, Professor? [DOCTOR] Yes. [SHOU] We'll try not to break too many speed records. [BAMBERA] Or traffic laws. [DORIS] Hey, what's that? [ACE] Do you want to drive, Doris? [DORIS] Oh, no. Er, I'll drive on the way back, okay? [DOCTOR] Allow me. [DORIS] Thank you, Doctor. Whee! [BRIGADIER] Er, exactly how far are you intending to go, Doris? [DORIS] Well, I don't know, but there's lots of work to be done in thegarden. Roll the grass. [BRIGADIER] What about supper? [DORIS] Oh, that's a good idea. Have something really delicious readyfor us when we get home, okay? [DORIS] Oh, wicked! [ANCELYN] Ah, are they not magnificent? [BRIGADIER] Yeah. Are you any good with a lawn mower, Ancelyn? [DOCTOR] I'll cook supper.

Doctor Who (4 Oct, 1989; Seventh Doctor) - Ghost Light (Cellar) [PRITCHARD] I've brought you your dinner and your copy of the Times. --------------------------------------- (Entrance hall) [MATTHEWS] Tell your Master that the Reverend Ernest Matthews hasarrived. Well? This house is Gabriel Chase, is it not? [GROSE] Yes sir, but, excuse me sir, as I understood it, you would notbe arriving until this evening. [MATTHEWS] Madam, my patience has already been sorely tried by theinterminable journey from Oxford. [GROSE] Yes, sir. I'm sorry, sir. But you see, well, wedon't get many visitors, you see. [MATTHEW] Apparently not. Now kindly inform Mister Smith, if he is athome, that I have answered his summons and am waiting. [GROSE] Yes, sir. Certainly, sir. This way, sir. --------------------------------------- (Attic) [ACE [OC]] Professor, thirty second penalty. [DOCTOR [OC]] Just get on with it. It's all part of the initiative test. [ACE] You're still a lousy parker. Hey, play time. [DOCTOR [OC]] Well? [ACE] It's a laboratory. Oh no, could a nursery, but the kids would haveto be pretty advanced. And creepy. [DOCTOR [OC]] Be concise. [ACE] It's well safe, Professor. [DOCTOR [OC]] Oh, very succinct. [ACE] It must be Earth. [DOCTOR] You tell me. [ACE] This equipment's prehistoric. I like the toys, though. [ACE] Oh, those things are pretty sick. I can't stand dead things. Mustbe Victorian. [DOCTOR] It's a surprise. --------------------------------------- (Entrance hall) [GROSE] It's all right, my dears. Don't worry. Our day is done. Weshan't stay here a moment longer. And heaven help anyone who's stillhere after dark. --------------------------------------- (Attic) [ACE] Nothing much in here. Alum, borax, carbon tetrachloride. [DOCTOR] Let me guess. Benzine, arsenic, boring things like that. [ACE] Yeah. Nothing volatile or explosive. [DOCTOR] No, they're all used as preservative agents in the art oftaxidermy. [ACE] Urgh. Gross! [DOCTOR] Did you know Darwin suffered from seasickness? [ACE] What I need's a phone card. [DOCTOR] It's odd, that, considering his origins. [ACE] Professor, how'd you dial out on this thing? [DOCTOR] Ace! Don't touch that! [ACE] Why not? It's my initiative test. [DOCTOR] You'll give us away. These days, trespassers end up in Newgate. [ACE] The prison? [DOCTOR] Yes. It took me three weeks to try and get out the last time.Now give me that phone. Get off. [JOSIAH [OC]] Who's there? [DOCTOR] Er, sorry, wrong number. --------------------------------------- (Drawing room) [JOSIAH] Using a telephone, ReverendMatthews? Surely you're far too fastidious a creature for such demonicapparatus. --------------------------------------- (Attic) [DOCTOR] Well, now that you've sosuccessfully drawn attention to our presence, there's only one thingfor it. [ACE] Go and introduce ourselves properly. [DOCTOR] Victorians are sticklers for etiquette. [ACE] This isn't a haunted house, is it, Professor? Itold you I've got this thing about haunted houses. [DOCTOR] Did you tell me that? [ACE] Yes! [DOCTOR] How many have you been in? [ACE] One was enough. Never again. --------------------------------------- (Drawing room) [JOSIAH] I think you should go and greet our guests, my dear. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [ACE] We used to go to museums on school trips. It was always don'ttouch, don't wander off, don't give the school a bad name. We still didit, though. [DOCTOR] The front door's this way. [ACE] Hello, what's your name? You got stuffed and it wasn't evenChristmas. [DOCTOR] Ace. [ACE] See you later. --------------------------------------- (The Doctor spots a small sliver stuff box on the carpet.) [DOCTOR] What do you make of that? [ACE] Don't know. Whose initials are RFC? [DOCTOR] It's your initiative test. [ACE] So I'm asking the questions. When was the Royal Flying Corpinvented? [DOCTOR] Ah, the name wasn't thought up until 1912. I can get you abadge if you like. Ask me another. [ACE] Who's RFC? Professor, I'm only looking. [DOCTOR] Looking's one thing. [ACE] It's radioactive. [DOCTOR] Very slightly. [ACE] Is it safe? [DOCTOR] There is no safe level. [ACE] What about RFC? [DOCTOR] Well, let's hope he abandoned it before he came to any harm. [DOCTOR] Zulu assegai. Quite lethal. [REDVERS] Where did you find it? [DOCTOR] Here. I wouldn't touch it if I were you. This is my friend Ace,and I'm the Doctor. [REDVERS] I'm a fellow of the Royal Geographical Society. [DOCTOR] Really? So am I, several times over. [ACE] Is it your snuffbox? [REDVERS] Please, young lady, you're barely dressed. [ACE] Who's undressed? [DOCTOR] Excuse my young friend. She comes from a less civilised clime. [ACE] What do you want me to do, wrap up in a curtain? [DOCTOR] Be quiet, noble savage. I'm sure in Central Africa you've seenfar grislier sights than Ace's ankle. [ACE] He can't see my ankle. [DOCTOR] Well, your boots, then. You're a big game hunter, I take it. [REDVERS] I am, but I've seen nothing that equals the atrocities thatare rumoured about this house. [ACE] Is this the surprise, Professor? Because I'm not impressed. [REDVERS] I must say, I'm very grateful to find an ally, Doctor. [DOCTOR] You are? [REDVERS] You have given me the proof I needed. [DOCTOR] The snuff box. [ACE] Don't touch it! [REDVERS] This is the first substantial evidence that I have found. Icame here to findRedvers Fenn-Cooper, one of the finest explorers in the Empire. [DOCTOR] R F C. [REDVERS] I just knew he was in this house. I am commanded to find himand save him from the clutches of that blackguard, Josiah Samuel Smith. --------------------------------------- (Entrance hall) [MATTHEWS] Are you aware that I have been ringing for attention sincebefore six o'clock? I demand to see your master immediately. Thisinsolence has gone far enough. If I leave now, madam, Mister Smith willregret the consequences. The condemnation of the Royal Society can beruinous. So be it. [GWENDOLINE] Reverend Matthews, you must forgive us for keeping youwaiting. I am Mister Smith's ward. [MATTHEWS] You are Gwendoline, are you not? [GWENDOLINE] Yes, sir. My guardian was most concerned that you'd beenkept waiting, but be assured he'll join us shortly. --------------------------------------- (Trophy room) [REDVERS] Josiah Smith invited Redvers here. Redvers is his sternestopponent and [ACE] One of the finest explorers in the Empire. [DOCTOR] And he hasn't been seen since. [ACE] Perhaps he got lost on the way. [REDVERS] Henry Stanley found Doctor Livingstone. I shall find RedversFenn-Cooper. [REDVERS] Damn tsetse flies. [DOCTOR] How long did you say he'd been living in this house? [ACE] Can we go now, Professor? The whole place gives me the creeps. [DOCTOR] I thought it might. [ACE] Well, he's a head case. The house is like a morgue. Everythingdead. --------------------------------------- (Cellar) [NIMROD] Very good, sir, I understand. I shall be with you shortly. [NIMROD] Poor silent brute. [VOICE] Not silent now. --------------------------------------- (Trophy room) [REDVERS] Redvers had some stories. The pigmiesfrom the Eluti forest lead him blind fold for three whole days throughuncharted jungle. They took him to a swamp full of giant lizards likegiant dinosaurs. Do you know, young Conan Doyle just laughed at him.Huh. Well, there's Doctor's for you. [DOCTOR] That wouldn't be a Chinese fowling piece, would it by anychance? [REDVERS] We're two weeks out of Zanzibar. I must find Redvers! [DOCTOR] Tell me what else you found. [REDVERS] Nothing! [DOCTOR] Describe it. It's all right, I'm a Doctor. [REDVERS] Yes, there was light. [DOCTOR] A bright light? [REDVERS] Burning bright in the heart of the interior. It burnt throughmy eyes into my mind. It had blazing, radiant wings! [ACE] Doctor! [REDVERS] Once, when Redvers was in the Congo, he faced a herd ofstampeding buffalo head on. He raised his gun and with one singlebullet [REDVERS] Ah, there you are, old chap. Redvers, I've found you. Whathave they done to you? You look like a ghost. [ACE] Is it really him? [DOCTOR] His mind's snapped. He's seen something too big to handle andsnuff out. A light. I think we'd better go get some help. [ACE] That'll blow our cover. All right, all right. [PRITCHARD] Fenn-Cooper, where have you been? [DOCTOR] How do you do, I'm the Doctor and this is my friend [PRITCHARD] We've been worried about you. [REDVERS] Poor old Redvers. Poor old chap. [PRITCHARD] Come along. [DOCTOR] We don't want him hurt. [REDVERS] No, not the interior! Please, I don't want to go back to theinterior! [ACE] You don't have to twist his arm like that! [NIMROD] A most unfortunate mishap, sir. I trust you and the young ladyare not hurt? The gentleman has fits of distracting behaviour and mustfor his own safety be confined. [ACE] She didn't have to hurt him. [DOCTOR] My friend, Ace and I [NIMROD] My master, Mister Smith asks if you will join our other guestin the drawing room. [ACE] (sotto) Professor, is this an asylum with the patients in charge? [DOCTOR] Given a chance it could be Bedlam. Thank you, er? [NIMROD] Nimrod, sir. [DOCTOR] Nimrod. Thank you Nimrod. We would be delighted. --------------------------------------- (Drawing room) [GWENDOLINE] But Uncle Josiah is a good man, and agreat naturalist too. You'll see when you meet him. [MATTHEWS] Ah, so you finally condescend to meet me, sir. I am gratefulfor your hospitality. [DOCTOR] How do you do. How nice of you to come. [MATTHEWS] Good grief. [DOCTOR] Oh, this is my friend Ace. [MATTHEWS] I see that all the stories about you are true. You have noshred of decency, even parading your shameless wantons in front of yourguests. [ACE] Does he mean me, Professor? [MATTHEWS] I have it. This is some experiment related to yourmumbo-jumbo theories. Perhaps she'll evolve into a young lady. [ACE] Who are you calling young lady, Bog brain? [DOCTOR] No such luck. Quiet, Eliza. Now be a good girl. I'm making somesmall talk. [NIMROD] Ahem. If I might explain, sir? [DOCTOR] Ah, Nimrod, yes. There's still some tea in the pot if you'dlike to go and get a couple of cups. Thank you very much. [NIMROD] The fang of a cave bear! A totem of great power. [DOCTOR] Yes. Thank you, Nimrod. [GWENDOLINE] Sir, I think Mister Matthews is confused. [DOCTOR] Never mind, I'll have him completely bewildered by the time I'mfinished. [ACE] I'll help. [DOCTOR] [to Gwendoline] We've had some trouble with our carriage andAce can't go to dinner dressed like this. [ACE] Who says? [DOCTOR] So I wonder if you have any appropriate apparel that she mayborrow? [GWENDOLINE] Gladly, Professor. Come, Alice. You can borrow a dress ofmine. [ACE] It's Ace, actually. Thanks anyway. [MATTHEWS] Now, sir. [DOCTOR] Yes, let me guess. My theories appall you, my heresies outrageyou, I never answer letters, and you don't like my tie. [MATTHEWS] You are a worse scoundrel than Darwin. [JOSIAH] Light! [DOCTOR] Ah, Josiah Samuel Smith, I take it. Dust to dust. I'm TheDoctor and this is [JOSIAH] The Reverend Ernest Matthews, Dean of Merton College, Oxford.Your servant says welcome to Gabriel Chase. [MATTHEWS] Josiah Smith. Now perhaps you'll account for your theories. [DOCTOR] Fascinating moths. [JOSIAH] I recently made a study of these moths. Even in a singlespecies there can be a wide variation of colouring from countryside totown. I'm certain they're adapting to survive the smoke with whichindustry's tainting the land. [MATTHEWS] Darwinian claptrap. [JOSIAH] Nonsense, you say? I had hoped to find you moreadaptable. [DOCTOR] Yes, adapt or become extinct, Ernest. [MATTHEWS] No one asked for your opinion, sir. [DOCTOR] Nevertheless, I suggest you concede to my wisdom and button it. [MATTHEWS] I beg your pardon? [DOCTOR] Why don't you just read Darwin instead of condemning him. --------------------------------------- (Gwendoline's room) [ACE] Come on, something's happening. [GWENDOLINE] Wait, I can't wear this. [ACE] Of course you can. --------------------------------------- (Outside Redver's room) [GWENDOLINE] Mrs. Pritchard, what's happening? [PRITCHARD] The door is jammed. [ACE] Here, let me have a try. [ACE] Okay, stand back. [DOCTOR] That's no way for a Victorian lady, gentlemen to behave. [ACE] I'm no gentleman. [JOSIAH] Well, Gwen, this a metamorphosis. [GWENDOLINE] It was Ace's idea. (Redvers screams.) [JOSIAH] Nimrod, the door. [DOCTOR] Stay back. [DOCTOR] (to Ace) Cover your eyes! --------------------------------------- (Redver's room) [NIMROD] I'm sorry, Doctor. [DOCTOR] Redvers, what did you see? [REDVERS] Poor old Redvers. He was so frightened his hair turnedcompletely white. He went quite mad, you know. [NIMROD] We must leave, Doctor! [DOCTOR] But he may need help. --------------------------------------- (Outside Redver's room) [ACE] What's happening, Professor? [PRITCHARD] This way, please. [ACE] Ow! --------------------------------------- (Drawing room) [DOCTOR] I wanted to see him. [PRITCHARD] Out of the question. [JOSIAH] He will be well taken care of. [ACE] I bet. (to the Doctor) What was that light? He was so scared ofit. [NIMROD] Doctor, I can personally assure you that Mister Fenn-Cooper isbeing made comfortable and will come to no harm. [DOCTOR] Only the madmen may see the path clearly through the tangledforest. [NIMROD] You have the wisdom of the greatest elders of my tribe, Doctor. [JOSIAH] Nimrod, you have duties to perform. [NIMROD] Sir. [ACE] He's a Neanderthal, isn't he? [DOCTOR] Yes. The finest example I've seen this side of the Stone Age. --------------------------------------- (Cellar) [VOICE [OC]] Did that hurt? Good. Now open door. --------------------------------------- (Dining room) [ACE] I still haven't worked out where this place is. [MATTHEWS] And I am still waiting for an explanation for yourblasphemous theories. [ACE] What theories? [DOCTOR] Darwin's theories. They turned nineteenth century science onit's head. [ACE] Is there a free lecture thrown in with dinner? [DOCTOR] Yes, that was always his specialty. [ACE] Do we take notes? [MATTHEWS] Mister Smith disputes man's rightful dominion over the forcesof nature. [JOSIAH] I hope you have a taste for calves' brains, Doctor. [MATTHEWS] Instead he maintains that mankind itself should adapt toserve nature or become extinct. [JOSIAH] Well, sir. [JOSIAH] Oh, pray excuse me, sir. [MATTHEWS] Infernal telephonic machines. [ACE] Let's ring out for a takeaway. Anyone fancy a curry? [DOCTOR] I know a nice little restaurant in the Khyber Pass. --------------------------------------- (Study) [JOSIAH] Nimrod! What's going on? I told you not to ring me now. Nimrod,are you there? [VOICE [OC]] I escaped. [JOSIAH] It's learned to speak. [DOCTOR] Having trouble with your connections? Perhaps I can help. [ACE [OC]] Doctor! [DOCTOR] On the other hand, I have an emergency of my own. Excuse me.Time to emerge. [JOSIAH] Mrs Pritchard, a problem has arisen. Ask Ernest Matthews tojoin me in here. [PRITCHARD] Very good, sir. [JOSIAH] Then no one is to disturb us. [ACE [OC]] Doctor! --------------------------------------- (Entrance hall) [ACE] Doctor, where are you? I want to talk to you! [DOCTOR] Ace! What's the matter? [ACE] Face-ache Matthews in there says this house is Gabriel Chase. [DOCTOR] So? [ACE] It was all falling down last time I saw it in 1983. You trickedme! This is Perivale! [DOCTOR] Ace! --------------------------------------- (Trophy room) [DOCTOR] Ace. [ACE] It's true, isn't it. This is the house I told you about. [DOCTOR] You were thirteen. You climbed over the wall for a dare. [ACE] That's your surprise, isn't it, bringing me back here. [DOCTOR] Remind me what it was that you sensed when you entered thisdeserted house. An aura of intense evil? [ACE] Don't you have things you hate? [DOCTOR] I can't stand burnt toast. I loathe bus stations. Terribleplaces, full of lost luggage and lost souls. [ACE] I told you I never wanted to come back here again. [DOCTOR] Then there's unrequited love, and tyranny, and cruelty. [ACE] Too right. [DOCTOR] We all have a universe of our own terrors to face. [ACE] I face mine on my own terms. [DOCTOR] But don't you want to know what happened here? [ACE] No! [DOCTOR] You've learned something you didn't recognise when you werethirteen. [ACE] Like what? [DOCTOR] The nature of the horror that you sensed here. [ACE] It's alien. --------------------------------------- (Drawing room) [JOSIAH] Ernest, pray sit down. I'm afraid thatsomething unforeseen awaits my attention. I shall have to ask you toindulge me a little further. [GWENDOLINE [OC]] I don't know what it is about my [MATTHEWS] Having come so far, sir, I have no intention of leaving untilI've gained full satisfaction [JOSIAH] Then we're in accord. Mrs Pritchard, see to it that the Dean'stime passes as quickly as possible. [PRITCHARD] Very good sir. --------------------------------------- (Music room) [GWENDOLINE] (singing) That's the way to the zoo,that's the way to the zoo. The monkey house is nearly full but there'sroom enough for you. Take a bus to Regent's Park, make haste before itshuts. Next Monday I will come and bring you such a lot of nuts. --------------------------------------- (Trophy room) [GWENDOLINE [OC]] That's the way to the zoo. [DOCTOR] Come back to dinner, Ace. [ACE] When I lived in Perivale, me and my best mate, we dossed aroundtogether. We'd out-dare each other on things. Skiving off, stupidthings. Then they burnt out Manisha's flat. White kids firebombed it. Ididn't care anymore. [DOCTOR] I think you cared a lot, Ace. [ACE] That's when I came over the walls of the house. This house. I wasso mad, and I needed to get away. It was empty, all overgrown andfalling down. No one came here. But when I got inside it was evenworse. I didn't know then. It was horrible! [DOCTOR] Tell me what you saw. [JOSIAH] Doctor. [DOCTOR] Tell me, Ace. [ACE] Excuse me! [JOSIAH] I must speak with you. [JOSIAH] I need your help, Doctor. [DOCTOR] Yes. It can't be easy being so far away from home, strugglingto adapt to an alien environment. [JOSIAH] My roots are in this house. I'm as human as you are. [DOCTOR] Yes. [JOSIAH] I'm afflicted with an enemy, a vile and base creature pittedagainst me. It's waiting for me now. I believe that you can assist mein defeating it. [DOCTOR] I'm not interested in money. How much? [JOSIAH] Five thousand pounds to rid me of the evil brute. [DOCTOR] (whistles) Now that's what I call Victorian value. But I'mstill not interested in money. --------------------------------------- (Cellar) [VOICE [OC]] There's a new scent in the dark. There's a warming,pulsing, racing blood! Smells like ratkin. [VOICE [OC]] Wake up. Move yourselves. Come on. Ratkin's cometo visit. Come on, move, move. Run, ratkin, run. Better get away. [VOICE [OC]] Fetch! [ACE] You don't frighten me! Doctor! [VOICE [OC]] Ratkin! Ratkin! [VOICE [OC]] Ratkin! --------------------------------------- (Study) [DOCTOR] Beetles and bluebottles. [GWENDOLINE] It's one of my favourites in the whole collection. It'sfrom Java. [DOCTOR] Java? [GWENDOLINE] The Reverend Ernest Matthews will be leaving for Java soon.Perhaps he'll see my father. [DOCTOR] Your father, is he there? [GWENDOLINE] Uncle Josiah sent him there after he saw what was in thecellar. [DOCTOR] Gwendoline, do you know where Ace is? --------------------------------------- (Cellar) [VOICE [OC]] Revenge is nearer. Revenge, ratkin. [NIMROD] Get back! Back! Are you all right, miss? [ACE] They don't like the flame, do they. [VOICE [OC]] Door must open. [NIMROD] We must leave the chamber now. [VOICE [OC]] Open door! Quickly, quickly! [ACE] It's getting out! Give me that! [NIMROD] Stay calm! Follow me to the tunnel. While we have the lamp,we're safe. [VOICE [OC]] No more lamp. [VOICE [OC]] Stop ratkin. [ACE] I'll sort you lot out. --------------------------------------- (Entrance hall) [DOCTOR] Josiah, where's Ace? [JOSIAH] How should I know? Have you considered my offer, Doctor? [DOCTOR] What, to murder your enemy? I'm not your pet executioner. Aceis in trouble. [JOSIAH] Be careful, Doctor. To cross me could be a serious error. [PRITCHARD] Miss Ace has already retired to bed, sir. Come, I will showyou. [GWENDOLINE] Here, Doctor, to light you to bed. [GWENDOLINE] Sleep well. Goodnight. [DOCTOR] Good night, sleep tight. Up the wooden hill to Bedfordshire,otherwise known as Java. Well, not tonight, Josiah-phine! [DOCTOR] Your puppet show doesn't fool me. Sorry to spoil your big gamehunt, but Ace need my [DOCTOR] Help. --------------------------------------- (Cellar) [ACE] Let us go or I'll smash it! [NIMROD] Give it to me! You are profaning the temple of light. [ACE] I'll profane you in a minute. And shut that thing up. [NIMROD] You are afraid and do not understand. [NIMROD] The sleeping one must not be woken! --------------------------------------- (Entrance hall) [JOSIAH] The fool! What's it done? [DOCTOR] Right, Josiah. Let's get down the rabbit hole. Get that lift! [DOCTOR] Open those doors! Quickly! --------------------------------------- (Cellar) [ACE] Steam power! Oi, Tarzan. Nimrod! What's happened? Nimrod! [JOSIAH] Light. [DOCTOR] At the end of the tunnel. Get a move on. Ace? [ACE] Doctor, where have you been? [DOCTOR] Where haven't I been. I came as quick as I could. [JOSIAH] What have you done to my observatory? [ACE] Get off! It's what it nearly did to me. [DOCTOR] Ace, you haven't been tampering? [ACE] It was an accident. [JOSIAH] All my work could be ruined. [DOCTOR] That's my girl. [ACE] Oh, come on, Professor. Let's get out of this madhouse. [DOCTOR] No, keep him covered. [ACE] But [DOCTOR] Shush. [ACE] Move it, you. --------------------------------------- (Entrance hall) [GWENDOLINE] Why did Father go to Java and leave me? And where is Mama?I try and try, but I can't understand. [PRITCHARD] That is a wicked thing to say. Wicked. Your mother would beashamed if she could hear you. Sitting there dressed like a music halltrollop. It's this Doctor, filling your head with his ideas. [GWENDOLINE] His words are so confusing. Uncle Josiah'sideas are much clearer. [PRITCHARD] Go upstairs and dress yourself decently. --------------------------------------- (Cellar) [ACE] Don't try anything. [DOCTOR] Oh, not a patch on the Flying Scotsman. [JOSIAH] Nimrod! Get up, you fool. It's got to be stopped. [DOCTOR] Better not to move him. [ACE] He fell against that thing. [DOCTOR] He disturbed whatever's hibernating inside. [JOSIAH] Don't touch it! [ACE] You're scared of it too, just like the others. [DOCTOR] Because you know what's in there, don't you, Josiah? [JOSIAH] There's an energy escape. I must stop it. [DOCTOR] Don't worry. I always leave these things to the last moment.These husks. Old cast-offs of yours, I take it? [ACE] They attacked Nimrod and me. [JOSIAH] You're insane! If the membrane is broken [DOCTOR] Yes? [ACE] Oh, what? [DOCTOR] Genetic codes. [ACE] DNA. [DOCTOR] You've done a lot of exploring in here, haven't you, Josiah? [ACE] This is a stone spaceship. [DOCTOR] Yes, and the real owner won't be pleased when it wakes up. [JOSIAH] I am the real owner. [DOCTOR] Oh no, you're not. You're just part of the cargo. [JOSIAH] You're so smug and self-satisfied, Doctor. [DOCTOR] I try. [ACE] Drop it. [JOSIAH] I'm not a simpleton. That device is a radiation detector, not agun. [JOSIAH] You're going to help me stabilise the energy loss, or most ofsouthern England goes up in a firestorm. [VOICE [OC]] Set me free. [REDVERS] Not much time left. Soon be light. [GWENDOLINE] Mister Fenn-Cooper. [REDVERS] So, you've seen Redvers, too. Where are they holding the poordevil? I know he's close by. [GWENDOLINE] I'm lost. I'm so lost and alone. [REDVERS] Redvers got used to loneliness in the bush. He understands. [GWENDOLINE] I cannot find my mother. I'm sure she was here. [REDVERS] Don't be alarmed. Redvers Fenn-Cooper always escapes in theend. He knows where the greatest secret of all is hidden. It sleeps inthe depths of the interior, and it must never be woken. [JOSIAH] Drive in the crystal rods when I instructyou. [ACE] After this I'll get a job at Sellafield. It'll be safer. [DOCTOR] (sotto) Just do what I do when I do it. [ACE] Hmm, very helpful. [JOSIAH] Lower the first rod. [DOCTOR] Oh dear, oh dear. Skeletons in the cupboard. Husks in thecellar. [ACE] Bats in the belfry. [JOSIAH] Do it! [DOCTOR] Now, now, don't shout. You'll never evolve into a niceVictorian gentleman if you shout. [ACE] Did those husks really used to be him? [DOCTOR] Yes. Not much improvement on the reptile, is he? [JOSIAH] Just do it! Now! [DOCTOR] Well, I think congratulations are in order. [ACE] Congratulations? Maybe not. Professor, the husks! [VOICE [OC]] Give me freeness. I want freeness! [DOCTOR] Quick, get up! Move! Move! [VOICE [OC]] Control needs freeness now! --------------------------------------- (Lift) [ACE] Quick, Doctor! [VOICE [OC]] Help me be like you. [ACE] Look out! [CONTROL [OC]] Give me my freeness! [DOCTOR] Ah, how do you do. I'm the Doctor and this is my friend Ace. [ACE] Just call me ratkin. [CONTROL [OC]] Ah, poor Control. No way out. No escaping. No hoping. [JOSIAH] Don't listen to it. It's a depraved monstrosity. [DOCTOR] Depraved or deprived? There, there, Control. There, there. Now,which of you is the Jekyll and which is the Hyde? [CONTROL [OC]] Spare a farthing, Guv'nor. Pity poor Control, locked awayall alone. [JOSIAH] Fie! --------------------------------------- (Entrance hall) [PRITCHARD] They're coming. It's almost firstlight. --------------------------------------- (Lift) [ACE] He's getting weaker. [DOCTOR] It's been a hard day's night. He's evolving again, to his nextstage. --------------------------------------- (Entrance hall) [JOSIAH] I've sealed the lower observatory. Let Control rot down there. [PRITCHARD] You are ill, sir. [JOSIAH] It's getting light. Secure the house. I must change. [PRITCHARD] Take him to the upper observatory. [GWENDOLINE] Uncle! [DOCTOR] We won't see them till nightfall. [ACE] Shouldn't we follow them? What about Josiah? [DOCTOR] He sounded a little husky. [ACE] Oh, you mean he's changing into one of those things? [DOCTOR] Yes. --------------------------------------- (Attic) [MATTHEWS] So, here you are at last. Haven't I been kept waiting longenough? [JOSIAH] Reverend Matthews. [MATTHEWS] I perceive you are a sick man, sir. Divine retribution foryour blasphemy, perhaps? [JOSIAH] It will pass. [MATTHEWS] And so will your unholy theories of evolution. It's acomplete absurdity that the line of my ancestors could be traced backto a protoplasmic globule. [JOSIAH] Please, go on. [MATTHEWS] Man has been the same, sir, since he stood in the garden ofEden, and he was never ever a chattering gibbering ape. [MATTHEWS] What are you laughing at? Devil take you, why are youlaughing? --------------------------------------- (Drawing room) [GWENDOLINE] Can Nimrod be woken now? [DOCTOR] Oh, don't rush me, Gwendoline. The sun has got its hat on, andwe've got all day before Uncle Josiah dare show his face. [ACE] Professor. Josiah's lucifigus. [DOCTOR] Yes. He doesn't like light, either. [ACE] What about the spaceship in the cellar? It's knackered, isn't it? [DOCTOR] Yes. I fixed it. Uncle Josiah knows as much about it's secretsas a hamburger knows about the Amazon desert. [ACE] Sounds a bit like you and the Tardis. [GWENDOLINE] Light! [DOCTOR] Let her go. Come on, Ace. We've only just started. Now, there'sone thing you haven't told me. What was it that frightened you so muchwhen you entered this house in a hundred years time? --------------------------------------- (Attic) [ JOSIAH] Reverend Matthews, I thoughtyou would amuse me, but you bore me just as much as you didbefore. [JOSIAH] Gwendoline. Come here, dear child. [GWENDOLINE] Are you unwell, Uncle? [JOSIAH] Only sick at heart, my dear. Soon I shall restore the blightedBritish Empire to its full power and vigour. [MATTHEWS] You're no better than animals. (chimp noises) [JOSIAH] The Reverend makes such a tedious toy, don't you think? [GWENDOLINE] Dear Uncle. [JOSIAH] We're so glad he has to go. [GWENDOLINE] And where is he going? [JOSIAH] To Java! --------------------------------------- (Drawing room) [DOCTOR] Time to call out the constabulary. Now, Inspector, perhaps youcan assist us with our enquiries. --------------------------------------- (Bedroom) [ACE] Hello? [GROSE] The Doctor said that you'd be fair famished when you woke up, sohere's scrambled egg, hot buttered toast, kedgeree, kidney, sausage andbacon. [ACE] Cholesterol city. [GROSE] Oh, no dear. Perivale village. Properly exhausted you were whenI put you to bed. Oh yes, and there's a message. Would you join theDoctor and the police gentleman in the drawing room. [ACE] Police? [GROSE] It's high time they were called. I've said as much to myhusband, Mister Grose. [ACE] I think I'll give that a miss, actually. I want to have a walkround Perivale village before lunch. Is there a blacksmith on thevillage green? [GROSE] Mercy me, no, dearie. There's only seven houses. Besides, you'vemissed lunch. Why, it must be all of five o'clock by now. [ACE] What! [GROSE] Yes, almost evening. Now, we must hurry. No one in their rightmind stays in this house after dark. --------------------------------------- (Drawing room) [DOCTOR] Snap out of it, Nimrod. If I didn't knowbetter I'd say this was deliberate. Ten minutes was all it took to wakeup the more sophisticated, civilised, police inspector. [MACKENZIE] Ah, you say this house is owned by Josiah Samuel Smith. [DOCTOR] I didn't say owned, I said inhabited. [MACKENZIE] Then where is he? This whole house is deserted. [DOCTOR] He will appear. [MACKENZIE] I suppose this must be the manservant. Nasty lookingcustomer. Must be a foreigner. [DOCTOR] Neanderthal. [MACKENZIE] Ah, gypsy blood. I can see it in him. Lazy workers. What'sthis one playing up over? Oh, beg your pardon. [DOCTOR] He's mesmerised. [MACKENZIE] No self-control, these Mediterraneans. Too excitable. Nastytempers, too. [DOCTOR] Yes, especially when roused. Which is exactly what iseluding me at the moment. --------------------------------------- (Bedroom) [GROSE] Have you finished, dear? Oh, is anything wrong? [ACE] Where's my clobber? My gear? My clothes. [GROSE] Those shabby old things? Why, the Doctor had me lay out this foryou. Well, will it do, my dear? [ACE] No bustle. Okay, Professor, you win. [GROSE] Much more fitting for a young lady. --------------------------------------- (Lift shaft) [CONTROL] Control be free to change. --------------------------------------- (Drawing room) [ DOCTOR] I'm busy, Inspector. [MACKENZIE] And I have my investigation to complete. [DOCTOR] Still not found the mustard? Since I awoke you, youhave consumed three English breakfasts, two elevenses and onefour-course meal. Why don't you go and get Mrs Grose to make you someafternoon tea. [MACKENZIE] She's hiding facts from me, and so are you, and if you don'ttell me where the rest of the household is, I shall arrest you forobstructing my enquires. [ACE] Professor, you could have woken me sooner. [DOCTOR] This is Inspector MacKenzie from Scotland Yard. He was senthere in 1881 to investigate the disappearance of the owner, Sir GeorgePritchard. [ACE] But that was two years ago. [DOCTOR] Yes, he's been in Josiah's cupboard ever since. Preserved,hypnotised. Humour him. [ACE] Preserved? [DOCTOR] Inspector? This is my friend, Ace. [ACE] Hello. All right? [DOCTOR] I like the dress. [MACKENZIE] Perhaps you can tell me where Lady Pritchard is, Miss? [ACE] Oh, you mean the old bag, the housekeeper? [MACKENZIE] I gather you live in Perivale village. [ACE] I'll be moving to the area, sometime. How's Tarzan? [DOCTOR] Still no change. Still out like a light. Light! --------------------------------------- (Outside the drawing room) [DOCTOR [OC]] The fang of the cave bear calls you, Nimrod. Tell me yourtale. --------------------------------------- (Drawing room) [NIMROD] At the season when the ice floods swampthe pasture lands, we herded the mammoths sunwards to find new grazing. [MACKENZIE] Tricky things, mammoths. [NIMROD] Wise men cast bones to make hunting magic and spoke with thevoice of the Burning One. [ACE] Is this a race memory? [DOCTOR] No, these are his own experiences. [NIMROD] Now the wild world is lost in a desert of smoke and straightlines. There is smoke thickening. [NIMROD] But light will return. --------------------------------------- (Lift) [CONTROL] Light will return. --------------------------------------- (Entrance hall) [MACKENZIE] This madhouse needs one more good goingover. [DOCTOR] Good idea. But try and be back by six. [ACE] Professor, look. [DOCTOR] Yes. [MACKENZIE] Why? [DOCTOR] Around here, the forces of darkness don't wait until midnightto appear. [ACE] Professor. [DOCTOR] I know. [ACE] I thought the lift was broken. [DOCTOR] I mended it. It's very clever, climbing up the lift shaft, butI had hoped that Control creature might bring something with it, andfor that it will need the lift. [ACE] Professor, what's going on? --------------------------------------- (Drawing room) [ACE] Professor? [DOCTOR] Quiet. Josiah Samuel Smith and Control are frightened of it.Redvers Fenn-Cooper saw it and lost his mind. Nimrod, he worships it. [ACE] Let there be light? [DOCTOR] It's asleep down there in its spaceship and Josiah doesn't wantit awoken. [ACE] Well, maybe that's a good idea. Maybe it should be left alone.Professor, just this once. [DOCTOR] It's very, very old. Perhaps even older. Just one chat. [ACE] Professor. Where's Nimrod? [DOCTOR] Gone to see a man about a god. [ACE] Urgh! They're alive. [DOCTOR] Yes. Things are hotting quicker than I anticipated. Quick, runand get Inspector MacKenzie. --------------------------------------- (Redver's room) [REDVERS] Redvers knew the relief column would arrive. [NIMROD] Excuse me, sir, but you speak with the wildness of the oldworld. Is it appropriate to seek your wisdom? [REDVERS] You won't get far without good supplies. Baggage animals,porters. [NIMROD] The one I serve, sir, the Burning One, he's waking. What shouldI do? [REDVERS] Stanley found Livingstone. I found Redvers, once. Youmust hunt the dark continent. Seek out what you desire. But be warned,you may find it. [NIMROD] I must free you from your bonds, sir. [REDVERS] The Doctor did that hours ago. Redvers only wears itagainst the cold of the night air. --------------------------------------- (Cellar) [CONTROL] Move! Time going faster than you. Move. Lightangry, burning angry, but not at poor Control. Control going showingLight way up. Then Control on way up too! --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [ACE] Inspector? Found anything? [MACKENZIE] Nothing. This place has more locked doors than Reading Gaol. --------------------------------------- (Drawing room) [DOCTOR] All civilisation starts with hunting and foraging, but don'tworry, you'll work your way up. You must excuse me. Things are gettingout of control. --------------------------------------- (Attic) [MACKENZIE] No one up here, either. [ACE] Josiah. [MACKENZIE] Disgusting object. What is it? [ACE] It's what's left of Josiah Smith. It's just a husk. I think weshould get out of here. [MACKENZIE] Nonsense, young lady. That thing isn't dangerous. [MACKENZIE] Lady Pritchard! [ACE] Lady? [MACKENZIE] Sir George's wife. [ACE] Gwendoline. She's their daughter, isn't she. [MACKENZIE] What's happening in this house? [ACE] They're just toys. They're just Josiah's toys. [ACE] Homo Victorianus Ineptus. Oh no, I don't want to see. [ACE] Reverend Matthews. I think I'm going to throw up. --------------------------------------- (Entrance hall) [DOCTOR] Nimrod, where's Ace? [NIMROD] I have not seen her, Doctor. I must seek the truth from theBurning One. [DOCTOR] Stick around. I'll save you a trip. [NIMROD] Can you summon it, then? [DOCTOR] Let's just say I've made a deal with its agent. [DOCTOR] That'll be them now. Where's Ace got to? It's not dark yet, butI don't want Josiah to miss the show. --------------------------------------- (Attic) [ACE] Let's get out of here, quickly. [MACKENZIE] Let go of her! I am a police officer. You will do as I tellyou. [MACKENZIE] Let go of me! [ACE] It's Josiah! [ACE] Stitch this, Dracula. [JOSIAH] I no longer need to crouch in shadows, young lady. [ACE] You're no gentleman. Scratch the Victorian veneer and somethingnasty'll come crawling out. [JOSIAH] Your meddling Doctor thought to get the better of me, but I'llsee him squirming yet. Bring her! [MACKENZIE] Let go of me! I am a police officer. You will do as I say. --------------------------------------- (Entrance hall) [DOCTOR] That's quite enough of that. [NIMROD] Doctor, you are as powerful as you are wise. [DOCTOR] Cut the homespun twaddle, Nimrod. It's not wise. I've lit theblue touch-paper and found there's nowhere to retire to. Ladies, I dohope you enjoy indoor fireworks. [NIMROD] The Burning One is coming. [DOCTOR] Hmm. I'd stand back from that lift, Nimrod, if I were you. Tocatch a wolf, I may have unleashed a tiger. [JOSIAH] Doctor, what are you doing? Stop the lift! [DOCTOR] Ah, Josiah. So you've finally evolved into a Victorian. Howquaint. And Ace, you've made it in time. [ACE] Sorry, Professor. [DOCTOR] Oh, don't apologise. Come and meet Josiah's new guest. [JOSIAH] Nimrod, stop the lift! Stop it! [DOCTOR] Much too late for that. It's now time to shed a little light onyour plans. [PRITCHARD] Hold him. [ACE] Doctor! [DOCTOR] Don't worry, Ace. [JOSIAH] You've made a pact with that creature. You don't know whatyou're doing. [DOCTOR] No, but I'm about to find out. You can come out now! We're allwaiting! [JOSIAH] Control, quintessence of wickedness, corruption incarnate. [DOCTOR] Thank you for trusting me, Control. [CONTROL] My half agreeing done. You desiring, in the darkness you shallfind it. [JOSIAH] Don't let it out! [CONTROL] Too late! [DOCTOR] Light? --------------------------------------- (Entrance hall) [JOSIAH] Light! [DOCTOR] Josiah, come back! Er, how do you do? I'm the Doctor. This ismy friend Ace, and I hope you slept well. [MACKENZIE] What the devil is that thing? [ACE] It's an angel, stupid. [DOCTOR] That's just it's shape here on Earth. It's called Light, andit's come to survey life here. [ACE] It was crashed out in the stone spaceship in the basement. [DOCTOR] And while it slept, the survey got out of control. [CONTROL] Control is me. [DOCTOR] And the survey is Josiah. [ACE] And now Light's come to sort out the muddle. [DOCTOR] That was my idea. [MACKENZIE] And who are you? [DOCTOR] I wouldn't want to confuse you. [CONTROL] Remember our agreement, Doctor. You promised Control freeness. [LIGHT] Control? [CONTROL] Now! Tell it now! [LIGHT] How long have I been asleep, and why have I naturalised in thisform? [DOCTOR] No, Light. Don't! [DOCTOR] That was unnecessary. [LIGHT] Wasteful. None of the weapons work. [DOCTOR] Josiah, withdraw with your people. [JOSIAH] Withdraw! [DOCTOR] We'll talk. [LIGHT] Nothing leaves until I have explanations. --------------------------------------- (Drawing room) [DOCTOR] How many more times, Light? This is Earth.I mean, why don't you check the instruments in your spaceship? Wherehas he got to now? [ACE] How does Light move so fast? [DOCTOR] He travels at the speed of thought. [LIGHT] Earth. Why mention that wretched planet to me? [ACE] If you don't like it, then bog off. [LIGHT] I once spent centuries faithfully cataloguing all the speciesthere, every organism from the smallest bacteria to the largestichthyosaur. But no sooner had I finished than it all started changing.New species, new sub-species, evolution running amok. Ihad to start amending my entries. Oh, the task is endless. [DOCTOR] That's life. [LIGHT] (deep) Control. [LIGHT] How many more millennia must I suffer your company? Is thisEarth? Well? [CONTROL] Control wants her freeness. Be a lady-like. Doctor promised. [LIGHT] It is not his to give. [ACE] Did you promise, Professor? [DOCTOR] Things ran away with themselves. [CONTROL] Control too run away. [DOCTOR] Light, Light, give her a break. She's not your realtroublemaker. [LIGHT] You are interfering. [DOCTOR] Yes, just like you, only I didn't get caught napping. Why don'tyou forget the survey, Light, and go! [ACE] Has he gone? [DOCTOR] No. --------------------------------------- (Attic) [JOSIAH] Nothing will delay my plans for the Empire. With luck, Lightand the Doctor will be at each other's throats before they even notice.Mrs Pritchard will organise dinner. [PRITCHARD] Very good, sir. [JOSIAH] Gwendoline, it's time for Miss Ace to leaveus. [GWENDOLINE] I'm sure she'll enjoy Java, Uncle, once she gets there. [JOSIAH] Not as much as you'll enjoy sending her, my dear. [JOSIAH] And Redvers Fenn-Cooper? [REDVERS] Redvers kicked over his traces and lost himself in the bush.Lord knows if he'll ever find his way out again. [JOSIAH] And your other quest, Redvers? [REDVERS] I can't recall. The heat haze is dazzling. [JOSIAH] I need you, Redvers. Stay out of trouble. We have a royalappointment to keep. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [CONTROL] Control's new world. [REDVERS] You like them? You take. Now we trade words. --------------------------------------- (Entrance hall) [LIGHT] No. This is not Earth. It cannot be. [LIGHT] Come here, child. I need your assistance. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [ACE] What was that? [DOCTOR] Just our imaginations. [ACE] No sign of Control. It's weird. It feels like this whole place iscoming alive. [DOCTOR] Yes. It's the energy from Light's ship. Invigorating, isn't it? [ACE] No. [DOCTOR] What does it remind you of? All right, all right, all right.What happened here in a hundred years time is none of my business. [ACE] I thought this was a haunted house. [DOCTOR] It is. [ACE] I was only thirteen. [DOCTOR] Of course. [ACE] I got frightened, that's all. [DOCTOR] The Tardis key. You can always wait for me there. [ACE] That's the easy way out. [DOCTOR] Well, come on, then. [ACE] Doctor, have you ever had one of those nightmares where youcouldn't move? Doctor? [ACE] You're all dead! You're all dead! It wasn't my fault! I'm notguilty! I couldn't help it! [GWENDOLINE] Ace, my dear, I want you to come away. Come away with me toJava. [MACKENZIE] Ah, Lady Pritchard. I've been wanting a word with you.Perhaps we can sort this business out over a pot of tea. [PRITCHARD] Dispose of that specimen immediately. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [ACE] You're a right little vicious Victorian, aren't you. --------------------------------------- (Bedroom) [REDVERS] The handsomest woman Redvers ever saw was daughter to anN'Taba chief, but she had a bone through her nose and ate her cousinfor breakfast. [CONTROL] Will Control be ladylike? Want so much. [REDVERS] Once this hunt is over, I'll make you the finest ladylike inthe Empire. [DOCTOR] Having fun, Control? [CONTROL] You! You come taking away Control's freeness. [DOCTOR] Control, I've come to help you and to ask you for your help. [CONTROL] No help. It's mine. You won't take it. [DOCTOR] No, Control, don't! [DOCTOR] Come back! Bah. You won't get far! [REDVERS] Of course, if she was a real lady, I wouldn't be in herboudoir. [DOCTOR] Oh, things are getting out of control. Even I can't play thismany games at once. [REDVERS] Then help me. Help me with my hunt. [DOCTOR] I haven't got time, Redvers. [REDVERS] But I'm hunting the rarest creature in the world. The crownedSaxe-Coburg. Look. [DOCTOR] Really? And who's sponsoring the expedition, Josiah SamuelSmith? [REDVERS] When I find it, I shall shoot it. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [GWENDOLINE] Come on, Ace. I don't want to hurt you. It'll, it'll bepainless. [REDVERS] The crowned Saxe-Coburg isn't easy to discover. [DOCTOR] A good hunter always knows the signs, like a royal invitationto Buckingham Palace, perhaps. Why else do you think Josiah has keptyou alive so long, Redvers? [REDVERS] Will you join my expedition, Doctor? [DOCTOR] Not yet. I've got to find Ace. --------------------------------------- (Redver's room) [GWENDOLINE] Come here, you little brat. [ACE] Get off me, you! Control, help me! --------------------------------------- (Drawing room) [LIGHT] I wanted to see how it works, so I dismantled it. I need anotherspecimen. [NIMROD] Sir, you are Light. Long ago, my people worshipped you as theBurning One. [LIGHT] I know you. I took you up as the last specimen of the extinctNeanderthal race from Earth. [NIMROD] Yes, sir. [LIGHT] At least they knew when to stop evolving. Who released you fromyour quarantine cubicle? [NIMROD] Mister Josiah, sir. I am in his service. [LIGHT] Look at these microbes. They're evolving even as I speak. Myentire catalogue of the planet is worthless. Centuries of work wasted. [MACKENZIE] Ah. Perhaps one of you can tell me where I can find theDoctor. This place is like a madhouse. [LIGHT] We don't want things to change. We make sure that they cannot. --------------------------------------- (Bedroom) [ACE] Control? [CONTROL] Leave alone. Go away. [ACE] Am I still ratkin? It's all right. I didn't mean it. [CONTROL] Hate world. Hate freeness. It bites. Ran away into big emptynothing. Sky flew away to nothing. Want to hide from big open emptinessworld. [ACE] It's this house. When you're a kid you smash things you hate, butwhat do I do if it keeps coming back? [CONTROL] World only changing for him. Now he's Josiah. Big man now,leaving Control behind. Control no ladylike. [ACE] Oh, cut the whinging, Control. You want to fight back. You've gotto beat Josiah at his own game. [ACE] Go on, try again. The rain in Spain falls mainly down the drain. [CONTROL] The rain-ah, in Spain-ah, falls mainly [GWENDOLINE] There you are, Ace, my dear. [ACE] Control, help me! [CONTROL] New game play. Control go next. [REDVERS] The natives restless tonight. [GWENDOLINE] Let me go! Let me go! [DOCTOR] Gwendoline, who does this remind you of? [DOCTOR] Severe trauma. I could forgive her arranging those little tripsto Java [REDVERS] She was hypnotised, Doctor. [DOCTOR] If she didn't enjoy them so much. [ACE] Professor, Control's got a few things to show Josiah. [CONTROL] No longer hiding. [DOCTOR] Good. Just in time for dinner. --------------------------------------- (Dining room) [DOCTOR] Good evening, Josiah. (to Ace) Don't have the soup. [JOSIAH] Get that creature out of here. Get it out. [ACE] Go on, Control. Knock 'em dead. [CONTROL] Control has her freeness now, squire. [JOSIAH] What's this? Where's Gwendoline? [CONTROL] Better orf without you, guv'nor. [JOSIAH] You win this move, Doctor, but I will not suffer that creatureat my table. [REDVERS] That, sir, is no way to speak in front of a ladylike. [ACE] Oi, Jungle Jim, I'm here too, you know. [CONTROL] No one hurting Control. Not in gutter now. [DOCTOR] Who was it said Earthmen never invite their ancestors round todinner? [DOCTOR] Oh, which reminds me. Lady Pritchard, have you seen this? [DOCTOR] It belongs to your daughter Gwendoline. And there's a portraitof you in there, you see? Very nice likeness. You and Sir George musthave been very happy before the cuckoo invaded your nest. [PRITCHARD] Gwendoline. Oh, oh, Gwendoline. [JOSIAH] Mrs Pritchard, you're not dismissed. [REDVERS] Let her alone, sir. The lioness always protects her cubs. [DOCTOR] No soup, Ace. [JOSIAH] There's no way out of his for you, Doctor. [DOCTOR] I knew it was a trap as soon as I walked in to it.Unfortunately, your guest of honour seems to have let you down. [JOSIAH] Light will come. --------------------------------------- (Attic) [LIGHT] It's still changing, seething. Every plain and crevice crawlswith life, but I recognise the stench of its over-ripe infestedcarcase. --------------------------------------- (Bedroom) [PRITCHARD] Gwendoline? [GWENDOLINE] Mama? [PRITCHARD] Oh, Gwendoline. [GWENDOLINE] Mama! [PRITCHARD] Oh, my dear. Oh, my dear. Oh, we were so happy once. Do youremember riding down to the village with your father, the dogs runningbehind, barking? And then he went away, to Java. You sent him. [GWENDOLINE] Mama, I thought you were lost. [PRITCHARD] Oh, I am, my dear. We both are. [GWENDOLINE] Oh, Mama, what have we done? [LIGHT] You changed. Like the rest of this verminous planet, you adaptedto your situation to survive. [LIGHT] Well, you'll never change again. [NIMROD] They never harmed you. [LIGHT] I've decided Earth's future. We must collect itemsfrom the ship. Follow me. --------------------------------------- (Dining room) [DOCTOR] Josiah, tell me about your plan toassassinate Queen Victoria. [ACE] You what? [JOSIAH] Who have you been talking to? [DOCTOR] Myself, mostly. But you're not really empirematerial, are you? I mean, your background's a bit dodgy. And lightwouldn't be amused. [ACE] Neither will Queen Vic. [JOSIAH] The British Empire's an anarchic mess. There's no cleardirective from the throne, mo discipline. Result? Confusion, wastage. Ican provide a new order. Wealth, prosperity. [DOCTOR] Confusion, wastage, tyranny, burnt toast, till all the atlas ispink. [DOCTOR] But it isn't your invitation to Buckingham Palace. Redvers? [REDVERS] I am allowed to take a guest. [CONTROL] Control proper ladylike now. Out to dinner. Take Controlmeeting Queen lady. [JOSIAH] Redvers, we agreed. We hunt the crowned Saxe-Coburg together. [REDVERS] I gave up on Redvers long ago. All he ever talks about ishimself. Here, Control. [CONTROL] It's mine, or I burn it. [JOSIAH] You basest creatures. You dare to defy me? I'm a man ofproperty! [CONTROL] Then I burn whole house up. [JOSIAH] No! [ACE] No, Control, don't do it! Please don't do it! That's what I did! [DOCTOR] In 1983? Ace, you didn't tell me that. [ACE] You're not my probation officer. You don't have to knoweverything. [DOCTOR] Ace. [ACE] It was the house. It was full of evil and hate left by him. So Iburnt the house down. I had to. [CONTROL] It is wickedness. [JOSIAH] No! [DOCTOR] He only wanted to take over an Empire. At least he didn't wantto destroy the world. [DOCTOR] Light, I think I've solved your problem for you. [LIGHT] There's only one solution to Earth. I was going to reduce it tothis. [ACE] Oh, no. [DOCTOR] So you started with Inspector MacKenzie. [JOSIAH] The cream of Scotland Yard. [DOCTOR] Primordial soup, the most precious substance in the universe,from which all life springs. [LIGHT] Merely sugars, proteins and amino acids. But it will soon startto evolve again, so I'm going to stop the change here. All organic lifewill be eradicated in the firestorm. And when this world is destroyed,no more change, no more evolution, no more life. No more amendments tomy catalogue. [DOCTOR] But you evolve too, Light. [LIGHT] Nonsense! [DOCTOR] Of course you do. You change, adapt, all the time. Yourattitude, your place, your mind. I mean, look at you now. You're nolonger your original shape. And I don't think much about yourcatalogue. It's full of gaps. [LIGHT] All organic life is recorded. [DOCTOR] What about the gryphons, the basilisks? --------------------------------------- (Entrance hall) [DOCTOR] You missed the dragons, thebandersnatches. Then there are the slithy toves and the crownedSaxe-Coburg. [LIGHT] Where are these items? [DOCTOR] I can't think how you missed them. You have to complete thecatalogue before you can destroy all life here. [LIGHT] Control? [DOCTOR] She's no use to you now. She's evolved as well. [LIGHT] No! All slipping away. [DOCTOR] All is change, all is movement. Tell me, Light, haven't youjust changed your location? [LIGHT] Not yet. [DOCTOR] What's the matter, Light, changed your mind? [LIGHT] You are endlessly agitating, unceasingly mischievous. Will younever stop? [DOCTOR] I suppose I could. It would make a change. [LIGHT] Nimrod! I can rely on you. Assist me now. [NIMROD] I'm sorry, sir. My allegiance is to this planet, my birthright. [LIGHT] Argh! Everything is changing. All in flux. Nothing remains thesame. [DOCTOR] Even remains change. It's this planet. It can't help itself. [LIGHT] I will not change. I'll wake up soon. No change. Dead. [DOCTOR] Subject for catalogue. File under Imagination comma lack of. [NIMROD] Excuse me, sir, but Light instigated the firestorm programmesometime prior to dinner. [DOCTOR] Ah. [ACE] What does that mean? [DOCTOR] A very big explosion, very soon. --------------------------------------- (Cellar) [ACE] How do we stop it? Same as before? [DOCTOR] Ace, don't touch that. [ACE] It'll nuke Earth. [DOCTOR] Look. [ACE] Fine time to watch a video. [DOCTOR] How does this ship travel? [ACE] Speed of thought. It's alive. [DOCTOR] Yes. Light's gone. The ship survives, along with a new crew. [JOSIAH] Turn off the power, Doctor. [ACE] Get off, scumbag! [JOSIAH] I'll have my empire yet. [DOCTOR] Josiah, the ship doesn't want you to. [REDVERS] There's a place for you here, old chap. [CONTROL] Stop that immediately. Get back where you belong. [DOCTOR] There go the rungs in his evolutionary ladder. [ACE] Go on, then. Evolve your way out of that one. [JOSIAH] No way out now. No changing. [CONTROL] You are the most unhappy creature. I shall look after you. [ACE] They swapped over. [NIMROD] We have our work to do, sir. Entries and amendments to reviseto complete the catalogue. [ACE] No nukes, then? Isn't it going to explode? [DOCTOR] Explode or fly. I mean, after all, it is a spaceship. [NIMROD] The energy will be redeployed for our departure, sir. [REDVERS] Redvers has the whole universe to explore for his catalogue.New horizons, wondrous beasts, light years from Zanzibar. [CONTROL] Doctor, something tells me you are not in our catalogue, norwill you ever be. [DOCTOR] You're busy. Must fly. [ACE] Bye, bye. [DOCTOR] Come on. [REDVERS] Bye. --------------------------------------- (Lift) [ACE] We've got to get clear for the take-off. [DOCTOR] Take off? They've gone, like a passing thought. As long astheir minds don't wander. --------------------------------------- (Entrance hall) [DOCTOR] He's dispersed. [ACE] For ever? [DOCTOR] The house will remember. Just the ghost of an evil memorylingering. A dark secret after the candle is out. [ACE] I felt it here in a hundred years time. [DOCTOR] An evil older than time itself. [ACE] So I burnt the house down. [DOCTOR] Any regrets? [ACE] Yes. [DOCTOR] Yes? [ACE] I wish I'd blown it up instead. [DOCTOR] Wicked.

Doctor Who (25 Oct, 1989; Seventh Doctor) - The Curse of Fenric (Inflatable boat) [PROZOROV] (in Russian) Captain, we've lost the others. [SORIN] Don't worry. Keep rowing. --------------------------------------- (Navy base) [DOCTOR] Ah, this looks about right. World War Two uniforms. No need toworry about looking silly. [ACE] If this is a top secret naval camp, then I'm Lord Nelson. [DOCTOR] Oh, whine, whine, whine, whine. [ACE] Professor, top secret naval camps usually have men with guns allover the place. You don't just stroll in. --------------------------------------- (Lookout post) [LEIGH] House guests leaving the conservatory, entering the library. --------------------------------------- (Command room) [LEIGH [OC]] They'll reach the drawing room in about sixty seconds. --------------------------------------- (Maidens Point) [SORIN] (in Russian) Set up camp over there. Move it. Take the boat up. [PETROSSIAN] What's happened to our comrades? [SORIN] Nothing, nothing. Go on, move on. --------------------------------------- (Navy camp) [ACE] I've had more trouble getting into Greenforddisco without a ticket. [DOCTOR] You can always go back. [ACE] I'd rather go rock climbing. [DOCTOR] Not in those clothes. --------------------------------------- (Lookout post) [LEIGH] House guests leaving the nursery.Wait! Something's wrong. One of them's a girl. --------------------------------------- (Command post) [BATES] Say again, lookout? [LEIGH [OC]] One of them's a girl. They're the wrong ones! [BATES] Rat trap! Rat trap now! --------------------------------------- (Naval camp) [LEIGH] Don't move! Hand's up! [DOCTOR] About time too! Call yourselves Royal Marines? You're adisgrace. Those boots are filthy. What would happen if the Germansattacked now? [PERKINS] Sorry, sir. [ACE] In fact, how do you know we aren't Germans? Well, answer me. [PERKINS] You don't look like Germans, ma'am. [DOCTOR] I don't suppose you know where Doctor Judson's office is? Nevermind. This way. [ACE] Yes, sir. --------------------------------------- (Maidens Point) [SORIN] Prozorov, everything in English. From now on, everything inEnglish. [PROZOROV] Quick, down on the beach. [SORIN] Come on! [PETROSSIAN] How long till nightfall? [SORIN] Long enough. Come on! [SORIN] Gayev, listen to me. Where are the sealed orders? You had them.Gayev, what's happened to them? Gayev! Let's take him to thecamp. Move out! Move, move, move! --------------------------------------- (Judson's office) [JUDSON] What in heaven's name! [DOCTOR] You must be Doctor Judson. Excuse the interruption. I've travelleda long way to meet you. [JUDSON] This is intolerable! [CRANE] A little less excitement please, Doctor Judson. Remember yourblood pressure. [DOCTOR] The Prisoner's Dilemma. [CRANE] You can't just stroll in [JUDSON] Oh, shut up, Crane. You're familiar with the Prisoner'sDilemma, then? [DOCTOR] Based on a false premise, don't you think, like allzero sum games, but a neat algorithm nevertheless, DoctorJudson. Excuse me, do you have any official stationery and a typewriterI could use? [JUDSON] On the desk. [DOCTOR] Thank you. [JUDSON] You're obviously also an expert in this field, but I'm afraid Idon't recognise [DOCTOR] Ace. [ACE] Hi, I'm Ace and this is the Professor. [DOCTOR] Doctor. [ACE] Sorry, Doctor. Oh, wow! Have you seen this, Professor? [JUDSON] Put it down, child. It's not a toy. [ACE] I know it's not. It's a flip-flop thingy. We used them at school. [JUDSON] You understand it? [ACE] Yeah, it's a logic game, isn't it? You drop marbles in the top,and depending on what colour each window is, the marble follows adifferent path. You've got a logic diagram for it on the blackboard. [JUDSON] This is extraordinary! And you learnt about logic at school? [ACE] Mmm, Miss Birkett taught us in computer studies. She was wellgood. Can I borrow this? [DOCTOR] Two pens, please. [JUDSON] Crane! [DOCTOR] Ah, thank you. [DOCTOR] There we are. Come in. [BATES] I'm sorry to disturb you sir, but these two are unauthorisedpersonnel. [DOCTOR] Unauthorised? We are here by urgent request of the War Office.I think you'll find this is signed by the Prime Minister and the headof the Secret Service. [BATES] I must apologise, sir. We weren't informed of your arrival. [DOCTOR] Need to know, Captain, need to know. Doctor Judson's work attrying to break the German codes is very important to the war effort. [BATES] (to Ace) We thought you were something to do with those East Endkids. Evacuees. [ACE] I'm not from the East End, I'm from [JUDSON] Perhaps you'd like to see the Ultima machine? [DOCTOR] The Ultima machine? Yes. [JUDSON] Ah, Bates, go and fetch Commander Millington, will you? [BATES] Sir. [DOCTOR] Commander? Well, on second thoughts, it's been a tiring day.Perhaps tomorrow, Doctor Judson. If you'll just show us to ourquarters, we'd be grateful. Thank you. --------------------------------------- (Maidens Point) [SORIN] Now, as soon as it's dark, we check thebase. Petrossian, you check the shoreline in case anything gets washedup. [PETROSSIAN] Alone? [SORIN] It only needs one. [PETROSSIAN] Will you listen to me? There's evil here. Can't you feel itcold against your skin. [SORIN] Stop it! More stupid Armenian superstitions. You're supposed tobe a soldier. [PETROSSIAN] So was he. [SORIN] You follow orders. --------------------------------------- (Bunk room) [ACE] Ace! Bunk beds! Bags I go on top. [DOCTOR] Quiet, Ace. People are trying to sleep. [ACE] Sorry. [ACE] Is it all right if I go down to the cliffs tomorrow and do somerock climbing? [DOCTOR] Go to sleep. [ACE] Sorry. [ACE] Night. Where are you off to? [DOCTOR] Night air. Go to sleep. --------------------------------------- (Perimeter fence) [PERKINS] Oh, it's you, sir. Thank goodness. I thought [DOCTOR] Eyes. Eyes watching. --------------------------------------- (Outside St Jude's Church) [WAINWRIGHT] Thank you so much. What a lovely day. Miss Hardaker. [HARDAKER] Your sermon, Mister Wainwright. [WAINWRIGHT] Yes? [HARDAKER] There's no doubt about it, Mister Wainwright, of course we'llwin the war. Right is on our side. [WAINWRIGHT] I don't think that right is on anyone's side in war, MissHardaker. [HARDAKER] Your father would turn in his grave to hear such words. Whenhe was vicar of this parish, there was respect for the Good Book. [WAINWRIGHT] I think that faith is more than just words. [HARDAKER] In plain language, doubt and indecision. [WAINWRIGHT] Miss Hardaker [DOCTOR] Pardon me. I wonder if you could help me. I'm looking forDoctor Judson. [WAINWRIGHT] Oh, I think you'll find him still working in the crypt. Ifyou'd like to follow me. Er, good day, Miss Hardaker. This way. [ACE] Who's the old gargoyle? Friend of yours? [JEAN] She's the old bag we've been billeted with. [ACE] Come again? [JEAN] We've been evacuated. [PHYLLIS] We're from London. [ACE] Oh, so am I. [HARDAKER [OC]] Come along, girls. Time we were moving. [ACE] Okay, see you later. [PHYLLIS] Where? [ACE] What about over there? [PHYLLIS] Maidens Point. Oh, well, that rules me and Jean outfor a start. See you. [ACE] See you, girls. Bye. --------------------------------------- (Millington's office) [BATES] I'm sorry, sir. --------------------------------------- (Saint Jude's church) [WAINWRIGHT] I can't see why he spends somuch time studying old carvings. I keep telling him he's wasting histime. [DOCTOR] Answering questions is never a waste of time. [WAINWRIGHT] Surely that depends on the answers. When I was studying atSaint Andrew's [DOCTOR] Nietzsche says [ACE] We're not going to be long, are we, Professor? Only I've arrangedto meet Phyllis and Jean later. [WAINWRIGHT] If you'll just follow me. [DOCTOR] I was having a good conversation. --------------------------------------- (Church vestry) [ACE] Hey, Vicar. [WAINWRIGHT] Yes? [ACE] You shouldn't leave all this silverware lying around. You're wideopen. [WAINWRIGHT] They're suspicious people in these parts. Too afraid of theold Viking curse to break in here. [ACE] Curse? [WAINWRIGHT] This church is built on old Viking graves. They say evilwas once buried here. --------------------------------------- (Crypt) [WAINWRIGHT] Here we are, Doctor. This is the crypt. [JUDSON] Ah, Doctor. What do you make of these, then, hmm? [DOCTOR] Fascinating. Ace, look at this. [ACE] They look like Viking carvings. [DOCTOR] Viking rune stones. Ninth century, yes? [JUDSON] Ah, you evidently know more than I do. [DOCTOR] Well, it's the alphabet. The later Vikings used a sixteencharacter alphabet. [JUDSON] Don't tell me. The Ultima machine can break the mostsophisticated Nazi ciphers. Some ninth century scribbling shouldn't bemuch of a problem. [ACE] Professor? [DOCTOR] Hmm? [ACE] What's that noise? [DOCTOR] What noise? [ACE] Like a machine. [DOCTOR] Organ bellows. Come on, let's leave Doctor Judson to hispuzzles. [ACE] Yeah, okay. --------------------------------------- (Outside Saint Jude's church) [ACE] Yeah, it was definitely some kind ofmachinery, Professor. Only don't bother listening to me, 'cause I'monly a mere mortal. [DOCTOR] Look. [ACE] Yeah, graves. [DOCTOR] No, at the ground. [ACE] There's a slight dip in it. [DOCTOR] Subsidence. And since the grave was dug. [ACE] How do you know that? [DOCTOR] Well, either that, or they'd been at the communion wine whenthey'd put up the headstone. Joseph Sundvik. He must be one of thedescendants of the original Viking settlers. [ACE] Look at the last one. She only lived thirteen days, poor littlething. (Mary Ellen Millington) You don't suppose it was that Vikingcurse, do you? [DOCTOR] Where did you say you were meeting your two friends? [ACE] Somewhere called Maidens Point. [DOCTOR] I think I'll go with you. --------------------------------------- (Miss Hardaker's cottage) [HARDAKER] Maidens Point! Did you say MaidensPoint? [PHYLLIS] I only want to go for a walk. Maybe have a swim. [HARDAKER] I know what girls who go to Maidens Point have in mind. Youwill never go near the place, neither of you. [JEAN] All right. Keep your hair on. [HARDAKER] You impudent child. Do you know why it's called MaidensPoint? Because when you stand on those cliffs, you can hear theterrible lost cries of girls who went to that place with evil in theirhearts. Girls who are damned forever. Yes, you mark my words.There's evil at Maidens Point. --------------------------------------- (Maidens Point) [ACE] I like watching the sea. It makes me feel so small. Oh, you'dthink people would take their rubbish home with them, wouldn't you? [DOCTOR] What's that? [ACE] People come here for picnics and then leave their rubbish behind. [DOCTOR] It's not the kind of place people come for picnics. [DOCTOR] Not ordinary tourists. Not English, anyway. [ACE] Germans? German spies? [DOCTOR] Look at the lettering. [ACE] Greek? [DOCTOR] Russian. [ACE] But the Russians were on our side during the war. We'd better warnthem at the camp. [DOCTOR] I think they already know. [ACE] Where do you suppose the Russians are now? [DOCTOR] More to the point, where have they come from? From the north,like Vikings. I think I'd better go back to the church. [ACE] Church? [DOCTOR] Well, if you find churches boring, you can stay here, but don'tgo into the water. --------------------------------------- (Decrypt room) [JUDSON] The North Atlantic U-boats have changed ciphers again. That'stwice this month. [MILLINGTON] Can we crack them? [JUDSON] Hmm. It may take a few days longer. Oh, they're using sixrotors now instead of five. [MILLINGTON] Get inside the Nazi mind, Judson. Learn to think the waythey think. It's the only way to understand their ciphers. [JUDSON] The machine can do it, if you'd be so kind as to authorise it,sir. Thank you. Oh yes, the machine can do it. This is thefirst. In the future there'll be many more computing machines, thinkingmachines. [MILLINGTON] Yes, but whose thoughts will they think? --------------------------------------- (Maidens Point) [JEAN] Come on, Phylly, don't be such a baby doll. You'll love it. Itmakes you feel all funny inside. [PHYLLIS] All right, but get ready to catch me. [JEAN] All right. Come on. [ACE] Get a move on, we'll be here all day. Here, I'll catch you. Argh,not that quick! [JEAN] You all right? [ACE] Want to do it again? [PHYLLIS] No! [JEAN] Oh, come on Philly, don't be such a baby doll. You should hearwhat they call her at school. [PHYLLIS] Jean! [JEAN] Doesn't your uncle mind you coming down here by yourself? [ACE] Who? Oh, the Professor. No, he's all right really. [PHYLLIS] That witch said we oughtn't to come here. [PHYLLIS + JEAN] There's evil in the water! [JEAN] Come on. Come swimming. Come for a swim. [PHYLLIS] All right. [ACE] Oi, wait for me! --------------------------------------- (Church vestry) [WAINWRIGHT] I beg your pardon. I didn't hear you. [DOCTOR] Possibly not. [WAINWRIGHT] What can I do for you, Doctor? [DOCTOR] I'd like to know the answer. [WAINWRIGHT] I'm afraid I don't understand. [DOCTOR] Afraid, yes, but of what? The Viking inscriptions? The curse? [WAINWRIGHT] Doctor, there are some questions better left unanswered. [DOCTOR] That may be so, but it's too late, isn't it? Someone's alreadytranslated the inscriptions. [WAINWRIGHT] It's probably all nonsense. Some records that mygrandfather made when he was vicar of Saint Jude's at the end of thelast century. He translated the Viking inscriptions. I wish to heavenshe never had. --------------------------------------- (Maidens Point) [JEAN] Come on! Don't be such a baby doll. [ACE] No, swimming's stupid. [PHYLLIS] It's lovely and warm. [ACE] Anyway, it's dangerous. Look. [JEAN] Oh, you're just a baby doll. [ACE] Stupid. --------------------------------------- (Church vestry) [DOCTOR] (reads) We hope to return to the NorthWay, carrying home the oriental treasures from the Silk Lands in theeast, but the dark curse follows our dragon ship. --------------------------------------- (Underwater) [DOCTOR [OC]] Black fog turned day into night, andthe fingers of death reached out from the waters to reclaim thetreasure we have stolen. --------------------------------------- (Crypt) [DOCTOR [OC]] I carve these stones in memory ofAsmund, Grimvald, Torkal, Halfdan, brave Viking warriors slain by thecurse. --------------------------------------- (Church vestry) [DOCTOR] We sought haven in Northumbria, and tookrefuge at a place called Maidens' Bay, but the curse of the treasurehas followed us to this place. Maidens Bay? [WAINWRIGHT] That's Maidens Point. [DOCTOR] But I've just left Ace there. [ACE] Yep, but I'm here now, aren't I? What've you got there Professor? [DOCTOR] It's a translation of the Viking inscriptions. Look. Andthere's something I've just noticed. [ACE] What's that? [DOCTOR] Look. We hope to return to the North Way, carrying home theoriental treasure. Now, listen to this. [DOCTOR] Vozravschayetes ve Norwegious sakrovisichem. [ACE] I only did French O level. [DOCTOR] We return to Norway, the North Way, bearing the treasure. Now,let's see how Doctor Judson is getting along, shall we? --------------------------------------- (Maidens Point) [PHYLLIS] Hold still, will you? [JEAN] Make me look like Lana Turner. [PHYLLIS] You mean Betty Grable. [BOTH] Jane Russell! [JEAN] Here, look at that. [PHYLLIS] What is it? [JEAN] Ooo, it feels all funny and tingly. Here. [PHYLLIS] Oh! It's like electric. [PHYLLIS] No, leave it. I don't like it. [JEAN] It's just a piece of junk. Come on, we'd better get going beforethat old bag starts wailing. --------------------------------------- (Maidens Point) [PROZOROV] No closer, please. [JEAN + PHYLLIS] Alice Faye! --------------------------------------- (Judson's office) [.DOCTOR] Doctor Judson? Something here that might interest you. [JUDSON] What's that then? [DOCTOR] A nineteenth century translation of the Viking inscriptions,courtesy of Mister Wainwright's grandfather. [JUDSON] Really? (reads) Night is the time of the evil curse, and no manis safe alone. This is invaluable! The waters are most dangerous. --------------------------------------- (Maidens Point) [JUDSON [OC]] The dark evil lies waiting in thesea. It has followed the treasure we stole. [JUDSON [OC]] We cannot see it, but we know it is there, beneath thesurface, beyond seeing, but it is there. [JUDSON [OC]] And one by one, our crew is being killed. --------------------------------------- (Typing pool) [ACE] I didn't know they had personal stereos in 1943. [DOCTOR] They're listening to coded German radio messages. [ACE] Oh. [KATHLEEN] Are you looking for someone? [DOCTOR] Ah, er, we're just being nosy. [KATHLEEN] Well, we're the girls, and I'm Kathleen. [DOCTOR] Kathleen. [KATHLEEN] Hello. [DOCTOR] Hello. [ACE] Oh, look, Professor. A baby. [ACE] Is it yours? [KATHLEEN] Yes, and she's a she. [ACE] She's lovely. Can I pick her up? [DOCTOR] You've got to excuse her. She's from Perivale. [KATHLEEN] That's all right. Of course you can. [ACE] Thanks. [KATHLEEN] Where's Perivale? [ACE] You don't want to know. Oh, now what do I do? [KATHLEEN] Just put your arm underneath her like that. [ACE] Yeah. [KATHLEEN] Get her head, and you're fine. You're fine. There we are. [ACE] Oh, Professor, isn't she beautiful? Oh, look at her little fingernails. They're so perfect, and so tiny. [DOCTOR] Yes. Every one a heart breaker. [ACE] What's she called? [KATHLEEN] Audrey. [KATHLEEN] What's the matter? Don't you like it? [ACE] I hate it. That's my mum's name. Here. [KATHLEEN] Come here, darling. Audrey. [MILLINGTON] Dudman, I gave you clear instructions the baby was not toremain on camp. [KATHLEEN] Yes, sir. [MILLINGTON] Well? [KATHLEEN] Well, I thought she could stay with my cousin, sir, onlytheir cottage is too small, and I [MILLINGTON] Twenty four hours, Dudman, or I shall have you dismissedfrom service. [KATHLEEN] Yes, sir. [ACE] (sotto) Who'd you think you are, armpit? [DOCTOR] (sotto) Not now, Ace. [ACE] Why didn't you let me sort him out, Professor? [DOCTOR] There are more effective ways. Look. [DOCTOR] Come on. [ACE] Where are we off to? [DOCTOR] I thought we'd have a quick recce in his office. --------------------------------------- (Millington's office) [DOCTOR] Extraordinary! [ACE] What is this? [DOCTOR] This is a perfect replica of the German naval cipher room inBerlin. Even down to the files. Oh, dreadful man. [ACE] Commander Millington's a spy? [DOCTOR] Oh no, no, no, no. He's just trying to think the way theGermans think. Keep one step ahead. But he's done it so perfectly.Let's see what else they've got here. Oh dear, look at that. Picturesof cities being bombed, innocent people. Wait a minute. That's notright. [DOCTOR] Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. [ACE] What is it? [DOCTOR] The old school tie. It seems that Millington and Judson went toschool together. That was before Judson had his accident. [ACE] Why is everyone round here so interested in Vikings? [DOCTOR] Yes, why? --------------------------------------- (Judson's office) [MILLINGTON] A girl? From the War Office? [JUDSON] She's a mathematical specialist. She understands the logicdiagrams. And they found an old translation of those Vikinginscriptions. [MILLINGTON] Let me see. (reads) I warn of the day when the earth shallfall asunder, and all of heaven too. The Wolves of Fenric shall returnfor their treasure, and then shall the dark evil rule eternally. Thisis it. The final battle between the gods and the beasts. It's now,Judson. The Curse of Fenric. --------------------------------------- (Maidens Point) [ACE] I'm confused, Professor. I mean, what's it got to do with theRussian papers? [DOCTOR] Well, whatever it is, it'll be down here somewhere, near wherewe found those papers. [ACE] What are we looking for? I mean, is it big, or is [ACE] Doctor. [DOCTOR] What have you found? [DOCTOR] Yes, not very pleasant. What's he holding? --------------------------------------- (Maidens Point) [PROZOROV] No! We don't want to attract attention. [DOCTOR] Do you know what's happening here? Do you think we reallykilled him? [PROZOROV] It doesn't matter. You know too much. You die. [DOCTOR] We know more than you think. Vozravschayetes ve Norwegioussakrovischem. [ACE] Return to Norway with the treasure. [VERSHININ] Kill them, Prozorov. [PROZOROV] No, we take them back to Captain Sorin. --------------------------------------- (Judson's office) [JUDSON] (reads) I am the only one left alive now.I raise these stones to my wife Astrid. May she forgive my sins. Theday grows dark, and I sense the evil curse rising from the sea. --------------------------------------- (Underwater) [JUDSON [OC]] I know now what the Curse of Fenric seeks. The treasuresfrom the Silk Lands in the east. --------------------------------------- (Crypt) [JUDSON [OC]] I've heard the treasures whisper in my dreams. I've heardthe magic words that will release great powers. I shall bury thetreasures for ever. Tonight, I shall die, and the words die with me. --------------------------------------- (Maidens Point) [DOCTOR] If, if you attack the camp now, you'llwalk straight into a trap. And if you stay here, you'll die just likeyour comrade. [SORIN] And if I let you go, you betray us. [DOCTOR] It's the only way. It's the only way to destroy the evil that'skilling your men. [VERSHININ] His mind's in pieces. [ACE] What's happened to him? [DOCTOR] Whatever killed his comrade, he's seen it. [DOCTOR] What was it? What did you see? Tell us. [VERSHININ] Come on, this is useless. [SORIN] Vershinin. [DOCTOR] Dig down, think back. Maidens Point, the undercurrents. Whatdid you see? Shotividyo? [VERSHININ] He'll never speak again. [DOCTOR] Calm down. [SORIN] We delay our attack until you both return. [VERSHININ] Kapitan, this is madness. [SORIN] We play for high stakes. Victory goes to those who take thegreatest risk. Go. --------------------------------------- (Crypt) [JUDSON] Why didn't he translate the final inscription? It's always thefamily idiot that takes the cloth. [CRANE] I don't like it down here. [JUDSON] Then go away. [CRANE] Don't you feel the cold? It's like winter. It's most unsuitablefor an invalid. [JUDSON] Oh, shut up, Crane. [CRANE] Oh, come on. Let's have you back in the warm. [JUDSON] You stupid woman. [CRANE] Language, Doctor Judson. There's a lady present. --------------------------------------- (Maidens Point) [JEAN] Ooo, I love men in uniform! [PHYLLIS] Don't they look strong? --------------------------------------- (Saint Jude's church) [DOCTOR] Why do I feel there's something differentabout this place? [ACE] Yeah, it doesn't even look like a church. [DOCTOR] What do you mean? [ACE] Well, from the outside, it looks more like a small fortress. [DOCTOR] No, no, no, no, no! Different since we were last here. [ACE] Oh. --------------------------------------- (Church vestry) [DOCTOR] I think it's about time we had a properlook at those inscriptions. --------------------------------------- (Millington's office) [MILLINGTON] Use the Ultima machine. Use themachine to translate the inscriptions. [JUDSON] But what about the German ciphers? [MILLINGTON] Use it! --------------------------------------- (Crypt) [ACE] Can you hear noises from behind the walls? [DOCTOR] Can't hear a thing. [ACE] I definitely heard them. [DOCTOR] Ace, come here. Look at that. What do you notice? [ACE] This one's a slightly different alphabet to the rest. [DOCTOR] Yes? [ACE] And, we, it uses fewer characters. [DOCTOR] And? [ACE] And, that means it's older than all the rest. [DOCTOR] And? [ACE] And er, I don't know. [DOCTOR] And it wasn't here this morning. [ACE] Oh yeah. Hang about, these inscriptions are a thousand years old. [DOCTOR] Quick, hide! [ACE] Where is he? [DOCTOR] Those noises you heard this morning. [ACE] A secret door? Yeah, well, I'm sure the noises came from over thisside. [ACE] What happens if we do find something? [DOCTOR] Shush. [ACE] Professor? [DOCTOR] Ace. [ACE] Professor? [DOCTOR] Ace! [MILLINGTON] I think this is what you're looking for, Doctor. --------------------------------------- (Saint Jude's church) [WAINWRIGHT] When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as achild, I thought as a child. When I became a man, I put away childishthings. Now abideth faith, hope, love. These three. And the greatest ofthese is. And the greatest of these is. --------------------------------------- (Maidens Point) [SORIN] No shooting. [SORIN] Has anyone seen us? [VERSHININ] It's as quiet as the grave. [SORIN] Let's take them to the camp. Move it, move it. --------------------------------------- (Laboratory) [MILLINGTON] Leave the empty drums. Just take the valuable equipment. [ACE] A laboratory. --------------------------------------- (Collection room) [MILLINGTON] Behold, the end of the war. [DOCTOR] So, this is what brought you here. A natural source of lethalpoisons. [ACE] The Curse of Fenric. [MILLINGTON] Once the Nazis see what our planes are dropping on theircities [ACE] But you can't! [MILLINGTON] It'll mean the end of the war. Save hundreds of thousandsof lives. [DOCTOR] More horrible than the Well of Hvergelmir. [MILLINGTON] What did you say? [DOCTOR] The Well of Hvergelmir, deep beneath the ground where broods ofserpents spew their venom over the roots of the Great Ash Tree. [MILLINGTON] The Great Ash Tree. The soul of all the Earth. [ACE] Professor? [DOCTOR] Shush. [MILLINGTON] We have seen it, Doctor. You and I. We have seen hell.Come, I'll show you it all. [ACE] What's he on about? [DOCTOR] Norse mythology. It seems that I've persuaded him that I'm onhis side. --------------------------------------- (Maidens Point) [VERSHININ] You should have seen him. With his bare hands. When it comesto killing, the sarge is an expert. [SORIN] Prozorov. These things have to be done. --------------------------------------- (Saint Jude's church) [ACE] Professor. [DOCTOR] Hmm? [ACE] What's wrong with the vicar? [MILLINGTON] No girls. Leave her here. [ACE] What? You're beginning to aggravate me. [DOCTOR] Don't antagonise him, Ace. You'd better stay here. [ACE] Professor. [DOCTOR] Only for a short time. I've got to find out what is going on,and you can find out what's wrong with Mister Wainwright. [ACE] All right. [DOCTOR] Coming, Commander. (to Ace) Give me an hour. [ACE] Funny church, this, isn't it? [WAINWRIGHT] I was just remembering when I was a child. My father wasthe vicar here then. It seemed such a warm, friendly place in thosedays. [ACE] Things always look different when you're a child. [WAINWRIGHT] Now I stand in the church every Sunday, I see all the faceslooking up at me, waiting for me to give them something to believe in. [ACE] Don't you believe in anything? [WAINWRIGHT] I used to believe there was good in the world, hope for thefuture. [ACE] The future's not so bad. Have faith in me. --------------------------------------- (Decrypt room) [JUDSON] Ah, Millington. I need the central rotorunit unlocking. [DOCTOR] The Ultima machine. [JUDSON] Of course, you haven't seen it, have you? A completelyautomatic computing machine, the most advanced in the world. [DOCTOR] Remarkable for the nineteen forties. [MILLINGTON] This is just the bait. [DOCTOR] For the Germans? [MILLINGTON] Russians. [DOCTOR] But they're your allies. [MILLINGTON] After the war, when they're no longer allies. This is whatthe Russians want. The mind of the Ultima machine. [JUDSON] More than a thousand combinations an hour, with automaticnegative checking. [MILLINGTON] And we are going to let the Russians steal it. Orders fromWhitehall. Look inside, Doctor. Look deep inside. --------------------------------------- (Miss Hardaker's cottage) [HARDAKER] You will burn in the everlasting fires of hell! You wicked,evil girls! [PHYLLIS] Just because you've never been swimming. [HARDAKER] You have black hearts! There's no love in heaven or earth foryou. Nothing for you but pitiless damnation for the rest of your lives!Think on it. --------------------------------------- (Munitions bunker) [MILLINGTON] A demonstration, Doctor. [MILLINGTON] This small capsule contains just a few drops of dilutedtoxin. [DOCTOR] No, don't! [MILLINGTON] Just think what a bomb full could do to a city like Dresdenor Moscow. [DOCTOR] It's inhuman. [MILLINGTON] It could mean the end of the war. [DOCTOR] And Whitehall thinks that Moscow is careless enough to let youdetonate one of those things inside the Kremlin? [MILLINGTON] Oh, that's the beauty of it, Doctor. We won't detonate it.They'll do it themselves. They'll use the machine to decrypt ourciphers, but Doctor Judson has programmed it to self-destruct when ittries to decrypt a particular word. And, once the political climate isappropriate, we will include the word in one of our ciphers. [DOCTOR] And the word is? [MILLINGTON] What else could it be, Doctor? Love. --------------------------------------- (Tunnel) [SOLDIER 1] What was that? [SOLDIER 1] Is this ours? [SOLDIER 2] Is it marked government property? [SOLDIER 1] No. [SOLDIER 2] Nothing to do with us then. Leave it. [SOLDIER 2] Right, let's get this sealed up. --------------------------------------- (Maidens Point) [JEAN] I don't care if I've got nothing to wear! [PHYLLIS] It's so warm and peaceful. [JEAN] Here, Philly. What's that? [PHYLLIS] What is it? [JEAN] It's a sort of mist. [PHYLLIS] So what? Who cares? It's warm in the water. [JEAN] Yeah. [JEAN] Philly! --------------------------------------- (Millington's office) [MILLINGTON] Yes? [BATES] I thought you'd like to know, sir. They've finished closing downoperations over at the church. [MILLINGTON] Good. Tell me, they didn't find anything unusual, did they? [BATES] Not to my knowledge, sir. [MILLINGTON] I can't take any more risks. I want all radio transmittersand outside telephone lines disabling. [BATES] That may attract attention, sir. [MILLINGTON] Do it. [BATES] Sir! [MILLINGTON] And if there are any chess sets in the camp, I want themburnt. [BATES] Chess sets? [MILLINGTON] Burnt! [BATES] Sir! --------------------------------------- (Bunk room) [PERKINS] Sorry, girls. Commander's orders. No morechess sets. [DOCTOR] Don't you find the Commander's orders a little peculiarsometimes, soldier? [PERKINS] Peculiar or not, orders is orders. Come on girls, let's haveyour chess set. [DOCTOR] Ah. What are you going to do with her? [KATHLEEN] Oh, something will turn up. One of the girls has gone to askher sister if Audrey can stay with her for a few days till I sortsomething out. Do you have any family yourself? [DOCTOR] I don't know. [KATHLEEN] Oh, I'm sorry. It's the war, isn't it? It must be terriblenot knowing. [DOCTOR] Yes. --------------------------------------- (Decrypt room) [DOCTOR] You haven't seen Ace at all? I'm getting a little worried. [JUDSON] Quiet! Now, let's see what lies encrypted in these carvings,hmm? [JUDSON] (reads) Let the chains of Fenric shatter. Even with an alphabetmore than a thousand years old, the Ultima machine can reveal it'smeaning. [DOCTOR] It can translate it, but who knows what it might mean? [CRANE] But who cares? --------------------------------------- (Maidens Point) [PHYLLIS] Look. [JEAN] Yes, a man. [JEAN] Are you looking at us? [JEAN] Yes, he's watching us. [PHYLLIS] He's got to come into the water with us. [JEAN] Yes, you've got to come into the water. [PHYLLIS] It's warm. [JEAN] Blood warm. Nobody's forcing him. Nobody ever forces you to comeinto the water. [PHYLLIS] But everybody wants to. Deep down, everybody wants to comeinto the water. [JEAN] Come on. Come play with us. --------------------------------------- (Judson's office) [JUDSON] Oh yes, yes, I've known Millington sincebefore my accident. [ACE] Hiya. [DOCTOR] Ah, good. Oh, I need to have a word with your two youngfriends. [ACE] Jean and Phyllis? [DOCTOR] Yes. [ACE] They'll be with the old dragon. [DOCTOR] Good. Back in a mo. I'm just going to requisition sometransport. [ACE] Bags I drive! [JUDSON] Shut up. I said, shut up! [ACE] I know what it is. [JUDSON] I am trying to work. [ACE] I know what the inscription means. [JUDSON] Yes, yes. I already know. Let the chains of Fenric shatter. Ialready know that. [ACE] No, no, no. It's a logic diagram. [JUDSON] What? [ACE] Look, this is a logic diagram for the flip-flop thingy, right? [ACE] And this is a logic diagram for something else. [JUDSON] But it's so complex. [ACE] That's because it's not for a small thing like this. It's for acomputer. [JUDSON] Crane! Take me to the decrypt room! [ACE] And the half-time score, Perivale six hundred million, rest of theuniverse nil. --------------------------------------- (Miss Hardaker's cottage) [HARDAKER] No! No! No, I beg you! No! No! Argh! --------------------------------------- (Outside Miss Hardaker's cottage) [DOCTOR] Hello? Anybody home? --------------------------------------- (Miss Hardaker's cottage) [ACE] Professor. [DOCTOR] Looks like the one at Maidens Point. Completely drained ofblood. --------------------------------------- (Outside Saint Jude's Church) [WAINWRIGHT] I know who you are. [PHYLLIS] You've always known us. [WAINWRIGHT] But vampires are just superstition. Why? [JEAN] We have black hearts. We were lost on the day we were born. [WAINWRIGHT] That's not true. No one is lost. [PHYLLIS] Everyone is lost. [WAINWRIGHT] No further. This is holy. It will destroy you. [PHYLLIS] Objects can't harm us. It's human belief, and you stoppedbelieving when the bombs started falling. [WAINWRIGHT] I'm not frightened of German bombs. [JEAN] Not German bombs, British. [PHYLLIS] On German cities. British bombs killing German children. [WAINWRIGHT] No. No! [DOCTOR] Stop! [ACE] What's happened to you? What are you doing? [PHYLLIS] You should have come into the water with us. Then we'd havebeen together. [DOCTOR] Go! Go! [JEAN] We go, but we'll return for you, Wainwright. --------------------------------------- (Decrypt room) [MILLINGTON] This is it, Judson. [CRANE] A little respect for the wheelchair, please, Commander. He's aninvalid. [JUDSON] I'm not an invalid, I'm a cripple. I'm also a genius, so shutup, the pair of you. [MILLINGTON] All that remains is the flask. The machine can unlock itssecrets. [JUDSON] Now then, Millington. Let's see, shall we? [MILLINGTON] Yes, quick! --------------------------------------- (Woodland) [WAINWRIGHT] We must tell Commander Millington. [DOCTOR] No, that's exactly what we won't do. He'll just go aroundshooting everything. No, as long as Doctor Judson doesn't work out whatthe inscription is, it'll keep them out of harms way. And he's atypical blinkered scientist. [ACE] Oh no! You should have told me. [DOCTOR] Quick! We'd better stop them! --------------------------------------- (Decrypt room) [MILLINGTON] What does it mean? [JUDSON] I don't know. [MILLINGTON] You built the damn machine! [JUDSON] It's running at four times maximum speed. I mean, it'simpossible! [DOCTOR] Stop the machine! [MILLINGTON] Get out of here! [DOCTOR] You've got to stop the machine! [JUDSON] I can't! [DOCTOR] Ace, the power! [ACE] It's stuck! [DOCTOR] Pull it! Pull it! [ACE] I can't! [MILLINGTON] You're too late, Doctor! --------------------------------------- (Decrypt room) [MILLINGTON] Captain, no one is to touch the Ultima machine. It mustcomplete it's task. [BATES] Sir. [DOCTOR] Just one problem. You've weakened the bases' defences preciselyso some Russians could steal it. [MILLINGTON] Captain, radio for reinforcements. [BATES] Sir, you've just ordered that all radio transmitters bedisabled. I've just set Perkins onto it now. [MILLINGTON] What! --------------------------------------- (Command room) [PERKINS] Sir. Radio transmitters disabled, as ordered, sir. [DOCTOR] Splendid work, Perkins. Splendid work. Now put them backtogether again. --------------------------------------- (Naval camp) [DOCTOR] We haven't got much time. [ACE] But Jean and Phyllis? [WAINWRIGHT] Dark legends. In the story of Dracula, this is where hecame ashore. [ACE] Vampires? [DOCTOR] No, not vampires, haemovores. They are what Homo sapiens evolveinto thousands of years in the future. Creatures with an insatiablehunger for blood. [WAINWRIGHT] I don't understand. The future? How can you know? [DOCTOR] I've seen it. How good are your parish records? [WAINWRIGHT] Oh, they go back as far as the eighteenth century. [DOCTOR] Good. Now for a little local history. [WAINWRIGHT] Right. [DOCTOR] What's the matter? [ACE] I was just thinking. If these vampires, I mean haemovores, if theycome here. Well, Kathleen and her little baby. [DOCTOR] Look, once upon a time you'd have dropped everything just for alittle bit of excitement. [ACE] Yeah, but I just want to make sure they're all right. [DOCTOR] Catch us up. [ACE] Thanks. [WAINWRIGHT] Doctor. [DOCTOR] Hmm? [WAINWRIGHT] Those two girls. They said they'd come back for me. [DOCTOR] Do you want to stay here? [WAINWRIGHT] No. No, no I can't. Come, Doctor, the parish records. --------------------------------------- (Maidens Point) [VERSHININ] I'm sorry, Kapitan. I know you and the sergeant had beenfriends a long time. Kapitan. Kapitan! [VERSHININ] On your command. [SORIN] Save your bullets. Everyone pulls back, and don't turn away fromthem or you're dead. Take him. Come on! Move, move! --------------------------------------- (Bunk room) [ACE] Hiya. How's the little horror? [KATHLEEN] (sotto) Well, I've just fed her and put her down. [ACE] Oh, I'm sorry. You should have told me. (The baby wakes.) Wherewill you go? [KATHLEEN] Oh, I'll manage. Frank's got shore leave in a few weeks. [ACE] Who's Frank? Your boyfriend? [KATHLEEN] No, my husband. [ACE] Oh, I didn't know you were married. [KATHLEEN] I've got a baby. [ACE] Yeah, I just thought that [KATHLEEN] Well, you can stop thinking it, all right? [ACE] Oh, I, I didn't know. [KATHLEEN] It's okay. It's okay. [ACE] Where is he? [KATHLEEN] He's in the Merchant Navy, Atlantic convoys. [ACE] I used to think I'll never get married, but now I'm not so sure. There'sa lot of things I'm not sure about now. [KATHLEEN] It's the war, Ace. [ACE] Yeah. Look, take care, won't you? [KATHLEEN] Thanks, you too. [ACE] No, I mean really take care. --------------------------------------- (Millington's office) [JUDSON] We're wasting our time on somesuperstition. [MILLINGTON] The Viking legends will come true. The treasure will bebrought to us, and with it all the dark powers of Fenric shall be ours. [JUDSON] Oh yes, I know. Let the chains of Fenric shatter. Well, whatabout my chains? [MILLINGTON] That was over twenty years ago. Why must you remind me? Ioffer you everything. --------------------------------------- (Maidens Point) [VERSHININ] Kapitan, what are they? [SORIN] Six months ago, a small sabotage team was sent into Germanoccupied Romania. Only one survived. He talked about dead men comingout of a black fog. The official report said he'd been listening to toomuch local gossip about vampires. [VERSHININ] But vampires don't exist. [SORIN] Of course not. --------------------------------------- (Church vestry) [ACE] Why does your bell tower look like a fortress? Like the people whobuilt it were expecting trouble. [WAINWRIGHT] I don't think there's a record of any battles taking placehere. [DOCTOR] Today's events haven't been written down yet. Now, you'relooking for the descendants of the early Viking settlers about twohundred years ago. Ace, you help me. --------------------------------------- (Underground rooms) [ACE] So what exactly are we looking for? [DOCTOR] The Viking inscriptions said they were carrying treasures fromthe Orient. [ACE] You might give me something to go on. I mean, a few hints might beuseful. [DOCTOR] Well, just look for something evil. [WAINWRIGHT [OC] Doctor! Doctor! --------------------------------------- (Church vestry) [WAINWRIGHT] Doctor, I've found it. Exactly as yousaid. [ACE] What you got, vicar? [WAINWRIGHT] There's your Vikings, or descendants of them at any rate.(reads) Joseph Sundvik, Florence Sundvik, wife. Daughters Sarah,Martha, Jane, Clara, Annie. [DOCTOR] The curse of Fenric, passed down through the generations. [DOCTOR] Find out which daughters married, and what their new surnamesare. [ACE] Professor, what's this water doing here? [WAINWRIGHT] Oh, it's the roof. It leaks. It always seeps in like thatwhen it's raining and there's an east wind. [DOCTOR] The problem is, it's not raining. There's a west wind. [ACE] Vicar! --------------------------------------- (Outside Saint Jude's church) [SORIN] Follow me! --------------------------------------- (Vestry roof) [SORIN] Takes two against one, does it? How about a little Cossackblood, eh? [SORIN] Fire! [SORIN] Up the ladder, quick! [SORIN] Go, quick! --------------------------------------- (Church vestry) [DOCTOR] Hold them! Hold them! [WAINWRIGHT] I don't know that I can! [DOCTOR] You've got to have faith! Have faith. Faith. Faith. --------------------------------------- (Vestry roof) [SORIN] We won't have any more trouble from those two. Quick, up theladder. --------------------------------------- (Church vestry) [DOCTOR] Ah. Any more up there? [SORIN] Only those creatures. [DOCTOR] Quick, you and your men, down to the crypt. [SORIN] Down. [DOCTOR] Get the record books. [WAINWRIGHT] Right. [DOCTOR] Hurry up! [WAINWRIGHT] Yes! --------------------------------------- (Crypt) [DOCTOR] Jam the door. [ACE] Professor, that noise you were making. Like singing, only itwasn't. [DOCTOR] Ah, just a little something to frighten off haemovores. [ACE] I thought vampires were scared of crucifixes. [DOCTOR] No, no, it's not the crucifix that frightens them, it's thefaith of the person carrying it. It creates a psychic barrier, justlike I did. [SORIN] Door's secure. [WAINWRIGHT] We're trapped. [DOCTOR] Ace? [ACE] The mine shaft. [DOCTOR] Correct. (The Doctor opens the secret doorway.) [SORIN] Listen, I must go back to my men. [WAINWRIGHT] You can't go back that way. Those creatures, they're,they're inhuman. [SORIN] I must try. If I fail, I fail. These two will stay with you. [ACE] Professor, show him how to make the singing. [DOCTOR] I can't. Either he believes absolutely, or he doesn't. [SORIN] I believe in the Revolution. [DOCTOR] Complete faith? No doubts? [SORIN] Go. If we meet again, you will have your answer. Go. [SORIN] Be careful. --------------------------------------- (Underground rooms) [DOCTOR] I hope we're not too late. [DOCTOR] Oh no! [WAINWRIGHT] What's happened? [DOCTOR] You two, break that wall down. Quick, quick! [ACE] If you want a job doing properly, get a girl to do it. Out of theway, boys. [DOCTOR] Ace! Oh, don't antagonise her. It'll only make things worse. [ACE] Five seconds and you're yesterday's breakfast, sunbeam. [DOCTOR] Take cover! [ACE] Wicked. [DOCTOR] Quick, get in the tunnel! (to Ace) I'll talk to you later. --------------------------------------- (Tunnel) [ACE] How much further? [DOCTOR] Three or four hundred metres. [ACE] Oh, we'll never make it. [DOCTOR] What's the matter? [ACE] Well, if I get the top off this, then I can make up some morenitro. [DOCTOR] Another explosion might bring the roof down on top of ourheads. [ACE] Oh, just a small one? [DOCTOR] No! [WAINWRIGHT] If only we could slow them down for a few moments. [DOCTOR] Two minutes, then follow us. [DOCTOR] Where did you find that? [ACE] It was just lying around. [DOCTOR] That's the Oriental treasure we've been looking for. [ACE] Oh. --------------------------------------- (Maidens Point) [VERSHININ] What's happening? The air, it's so still and so warm. [SORIN] There is a storm coming on. --------------------------------------- (Tunnel) [MILLINGTON [OC]] Come on! You're almost here. --------------------------------------- (Naval camp) [MILLINGTON] Right, seal it. [DOCTOR] But there are two people following us. [MILLINGTON] You're here, that's all I'm interested in. And I'll havethose. [DOCTOR] Open those doors! [MILLINGTON] Many years ago, when I was Chief Petty Officer on boardship, we had an explosion in an engine room. [DOCTOR] But the Russians are our friends, our allies! [MILLINGTON] I had to seal it off to save the ship, keep the flamesrestricted to one section. [WAINWRIGHT] Please, Commander. Those two men won't stand a chanceagainst those creatures. They're inhuman! [ACE] So's he. [MILLINGTON] We could hear men screaming behind the bulkheads for nearlyan hour, and then the screaming stopped. [WAINWRIGHT] But, but --------------------------------------- (Perimeter fence) [SORIN] Okay. You stay here. If I'm not back in ten minutes, abort themission. Take this. [VERSHININ] Take cover. [SORIN] Commander Millington! Commander Millington, I want to talk withyou, officer to officer! --------------------------------------- (Decrypt room) [MILLINGTON] Here we are, Judson. I said it wouldbe brought to us. Release the power. [BATES] Sir, the house guests have arrived. [MILLINGTON] What? [BATES] The house guests. There's one outside. He wants to talk to you. [MILLINGTON] Talk? --------------------------------------- (Naval camp) [SORIN] We must talk, Commander Millington. [MILLINGTON] I'm afraid you have me at a disadvantage. You seem to knowmy name, but I don't know yours. [MILLINGTON] However, that hardly seems to matter at the moment. Youwill tell your men to put down their weapons and surrender. [SORIN] I come alone. Very well. (shouts) Lay down your weapons and comein peacefully, like the wolves of winter. --------------------------------------- (Perimeter fence) [VERSHININ] Move! Move back! Move it! Let's get outof here! --------------------------------------- (Naval camp) [MILLINGTON] Lock him up. [MILLINGTON] You'll be pleased to know, Doctor, everything is undercontrol. [DOCTOR] The Russians aren't your problem, those creatures are. Theydevour humans the way you eat fruit. [MILLINGTON] I doubt if any creatures can walk through iron shutters. [DOCTOR] They can weld metal beneath the sea with their bare hands. --------------------------------------- (Bunk room) [ACE] You all right? What is it? What's wrong? Tell me. What's thematter? I'll do anything. [ACE] What's this? (reads) It is with deepest sorrow that I write toinform you that the ship on which your husband, Frank William Dudman,was serving, was struck by enemy torpedoes. Your husband was trapped inthe fire and has been listed as missing, presumed dead. Please acceptour sincere condolences. I'm sorry. --------------------------------------- (Naval camp) [ACE] You know what's going on, don't you? [DOCTOR] Yes. [ACE] You always know. You just can't be bothered to tell anyone. It'slike it's some kind of game, and only you know the rules. You knew allabout that inscription being a computer programme, but you didn't tellme. You know all about that old bottle, and you're not telling me. Am Iso stupid? [DOCTOR] No, that's not it. [ACE] Why then? I want to know. [DOCTOR] Evil. Evil since the dawn of time. [ACE] What do you mean? [DOCTOR] Will you stop asking me these questions? [ACE] Tell me! [DOCTOR] The dawn of time. The beginning of all beginnings. Two forcesonly, good and evil. Then chaos. Time is born, matter, space. Theuniverse cries out like a newborn. The forces shatter as the universeexplodes outwards. Only echoes remain, and yet somehow, somehow theevil force survives. An intelligence. Pure evil! [ACE] That's Fenric? [DOCTOR] No, that's just Millington's name for it. Evil has no name.Trapped inside a flask like a genie in a bottle. [ACE] Can we stop it? [DOCTOR] We need to get that flask. [ACE] We can release Captain Sorin to help us. I can distract the guard. [DOCTOR] How? [ACE] Professor, I'm not a little girl. --------------------------------------- (Guard room) [LEIGH] Are you looking for someone? [ACE] No. You. --------------------------------------- (Outside the guard room) [ACE] There's a wind whipping up. I can feel itthrough my clothes. Is there a storm coming? [LEIGH] I wasn't expecting one. [ACE] The question is, is he making all the right moves or only goingthrough the motions? [LEIGH] What are you doing here? [ACE] You have to move faster than that if you want to keep up with me.Faster than light. [LEIGH] Faster than the second hand on a watch? [ACE] Much faster. We're not even moving yet. Hardly cruising speed.Sometimes I move so fast, I don't exist any more. [LEIGH] What can you see? --------------------------------------- (Underwater) [ACE [OC]] Undercurrents, bringing things to thesurface. --------------------------------------- (Outside the guard room) [ACE] I can't stay. [LEIGH] You promised. [ACE] I can't. --------------------------------------- (Naval camp - tunnel exit) [WAINWRIGHT] I'm here. [JEAN] The book won't do you any good. You don't believe. [WAINWRIGHT] We'll see. --------------------------------------- (Naval camp) [DOCTOR] You all right? [ACE] Yeah, nothing out of my depth. [DOCTOR] Come on. [ACE] How are we going to stop Fenric? [DOCTOR] Evil needs a body. It hasn't found one yet. [SORIN] Thank you. --------------------------------------- (Naval camp - tunnel exit) [PHYLLIS] It's not true. You don't believe it. [JEAN] Look at us. There's no good in us. [WAINWRIGHT] No! I believe in good. [PHYLLIS] Look in yourself. There's no good in you. [WAINWRIGHT] No! No! [WAINWRIGHT] No! No! No! --------------------------------------- (Decrypt room) [JUDSON] What's it doing? [DOCTOR] Don't touch him! Don't touch anything! [CRANE] He's an invalid. He can't even stand without someone to supporthim. [DOCTOR] He's dead. [MILLINGTON] The time is now. The chains of Fenric are shattered. Thegods have lost the final battle. [ACE] We're too late. It's him! [MILLINGTON] The dead men's ship has slipped its moorings, and the GreatAsh itself trembles to its roots. Fenric! [JUDSON] We play the contest again, Time Lord. --------------------------------------- (Bunk room) [KATHLEEN] When the bough breaks, the cradle will fall. Down will comebaby, cradle and all. --------------------------------------- (Decrypt room) [JUDSON] You left me in the shadow dimensions,trapped for seventeen centuries. But now I've found a body again, andthe preparations are complete. [MILLINGTON] Shoot them! [BATES] What for? [MILLINGTON] Because I order you to. For treason. [BATES] Sir. --------------------------------------- (Tunnel) [JUDSON] I was only expecting one. --------------------------------------- (Naval camp) [DOCTOR] You don't have to kill her. [BATES] Let's just get this over with. Ready! [DOCTOR] She's only a child! [BATES] Aim! [SORIN] Killing us doesn't make any difference. [ACE] Mum, I'm sorry! [BATES] Take cover! [DOCTOR] Hurry! Come on! [JUDSON] I was hoping for something a little more, well, Aryan. However,let the Ancient One approach. Where is the Ancient One? [JEAN] He waits. [JUDSON] He waits? He waits? What for? Has he no sense of occasion? Iwant him here, now. [PHYLLIS] As you command. --------------------------------------- (Naval camp) [DOCTOR] What did you say over there? [ACE] What? [DOCTOR] Over there. You said something. [ACE] Oh, nothing. Just, just something. [DOCTOR] You mentioned your mum. [ACE] Don't play games with me, Doctor. [DOCTOR] We're all playing games. Fenric's games. We're playing hisgames and falling into his traps. --------------------------------------- (Millington's office) [MILLINGTON] And the battlefield shall stretch ahundred leagues, and at the end of the day not one living thing shallbe left alive. The ancient enemies shall seek each other out, and allshall die! --------------------------------------- (Tunnel) [JUDSON] How English. Everything stops for tea. Fetch me theancient one. There is much to do. --------------------------------------- (Naval camp) [DOCTOR] I must play the game to the end this time. [ACE] What game? [DOCTOR] A very simple game. A game of chess. --------------------------------------- (Naval camp) [BATES [OC]] Move it, move it.! [DOCTOR] I need a chess set to play the game. I need pieces. [ACE] If we can get into Commander Millington's office, we could nickhis chess set. [SORIN] Hey, we came here to steal Ultima machine. Chess set? Noproblem. Follow. --------------------------------------- (Naval camp) [SORIN] We've got a clear path to the British positions. Go. [MILLINGTON] Establish new positions. Secure the laboratory. [BATES] Follow me! --------------------------------------- (Maidens Point) [PHYLLIS] You are summoned. [JEAN + PHYLLIS] You must obey. --------------------------------------- (Munitions bunker) [JUDSON] Ah, the sound of dying. When it comes todeath, quantity is so much more satisfying than quality. [MILLINGTON] The final [JUDSON] Don't interrupt me when I'm eulogising. Where is the Time Lord? [MILLINGTON] Time Lord? [JUDSON] The one you call Doctor. [MILLINGTON] I had him shot. [JUDSON] I can see you've never been handicapped by great intelligence.For seventeen centuries I was trapped in the shadow dimensions becauseof him. He pulled bones from the desert sands and carved them intochess pieces. He challenged me to solve his puzzle. I failed. Now Ishall see him kneel before me before I let him die. --------------------------------------- (Millington's office) [ACE] Here's the chess set. [DOCTOR] No, no! Don't touch! [ACE] Oh, thanks. I don't know why he used a chemical grenade. If I washim, I've have stuck a few sticks of explosives under the table. --------------------------------------- (Tunnel) [JUDSON] At last, another of the Wolves of Fenric decides to show up andplay his role. [HAEMOVORE] My world is dead. [JUDSON] Hardly a great loss, if you're the best evolution could manage.This is the twentieth century. It doesn't become your world for a longtime yet. First, you must kill all humans. --------------------------------------- (Naval camp) [DOCTOR] Another of Fenric's traps. [ACE] Well, at least I managed to grab the consolation prize. [DOCTOR] Ha, ha, well done. The parish records. Great. [ACE] What I can't understand is what's so special about them. [DOCTOR] Names. [ACE] Whose names? [DOCTOR] Names of ancient families. Judson, Millington, Wainwright,Dudman. [ACE] Dudman! Kathleen Dudman, she's got a chess set. [DOCTOR] No, no, no. Millington destroyed them all. [ACE] No, no. I saw it in her suitcase. [DOCTOR] Come on! --------------------------------------- (Naval camp) [BATES] Ready? Now! [BATES] Are they Russians? [MILLINGTON] Russians, German, British. They're enemy. [SORIN] We are the last two. [VERSHININ] This isn't war. This is massacre. [SORIN] The Ultima machine has done this. [VERSHININ] Destroy it. [SORIN] Go that way. --------------------------------------- (Munitions bunker) [MILLINGTON] Your creatures are killing my men! What is it? [JUDSON] We call him the Great Serpent. [MILLINGTON] And the Great Serpent shall rise from the sea and spewvenom over all the Earth. [JUDSON] There's enough poison in here to contaminate the world forever. --------------------------------------- (Naval camp) [BATES] They're insane. They're trying to control the world withchemical weapons. [DOCTOR] All part of Fenric's evil game, no doubt, like this weather. [BATES] I know. (Sorin comes up behind Bates, who turns to him.) [BATES] Let's join forces, fight the real enemy. [SORIN] That's a really good idea. [ACE] So we're all on the same side again? [SORIN] You have the spirit of a fighter. And you wear our emblem. [ACE] Oh, it's not a real one. I bought it cheap in a market. [SORIN] Have the real one, tovarich. [DOCTOR] Come on! We've got to get Kathleen's chess set. --------------------------------------- (Typing pool) [LEIGH] It's all right, girls. We'll take over now. --------------------------------------- (Bunk room) [KATHLEEN] Ace! [DOCTOR] The chess set? [ACE] In the suitcase. [KATHLEEN] Oh, don't leave me! [ACE] I can't leave them. I'll stay here. [DOCTOR] Well, don't leave the hut. --------------------------------------- (Command room) [JEAN] You don't have the emblem this time. [SORIN] But I still have my faith. --------------------------------------- (Judson's office) [CRANE] Oh no! Oh, please! Please! Please! [JUDSON] Nurse Crane. You've looked after me all these years. Almost amother, treating me like a child, humiliating me. I feel this is whatDoctor Judson would have wished. [CRANE] Oh no! No, please! Argh! --------------------------------------- (Bunk room) [ACE] We've got to do something about thisroom. [KATHLEEN] All right. Let me just sort the baby out, okay? [ACE] Let's use the furniture. [KATHLEEN] Right, let's put that bunk up against thedoor. [ACE] Okay. What about the wardrobe over the window? [KATHLEEN] Good idea. Let's use that and the other bunks up against thewindow. [ACE] Yeah. --------------------------------------- (Decrypt room) [MILLINGTON] I'm afraid you've had a wasted journey. [MILLINGTON] But then you were never really our allies, were you? Yourpeople will always be the enemy. [VERSHININ] See you in hell. --------------------------------------- (Bunk room) [ACE] I don't like dark buildings. There was one in Perivale, an old,empty house full of noises. Evil. Things I didn't understand.Undercurrents. [KATHLEEN] What kind of a world is this to bring up a child in? [ACE] Quick, the window! [KATHLEEN] Ace, take Audrey. [ACE] Quick! --------------------------------------- (Munitions bunker) [DOCTOR] That's it. No, that's not right! It was so long ago. There. --------------------------------------- (Naval camp) [ACE] In the jeep. Get in. Quick! [KATHLEEN] Where shall I go? What shall I do? [ACE] Go to London. My Nan'll look after you. [KATHLEEN] Where? [ACE] She lives in Streatham. Seventeen Old Terrace. Say it. [KATHLEEN] Seventeen Old Terrace. Wait, Ace. I want you to have this. [ACE] (to Audrey) I'll always love you. Now go! (Kathleen puts Audreybehind the drivers seat.) [ACE] Seventeen Old Terrace. [KATHLEEN] Seventeen Old Terrace. Seventeen Old Terrace. [ACE] Now go! Go! --------------------------------------- (Judson's office) [JUDSON] The Time Lord has made his move.Take the poison. Carry it to the ocean. Release it intothe waters. [HAEMOVORE] And the other haemovores? [JUDSON] Oh yes, they've been so useful. How could we havemanaged without them. You know how to kill them. --------------------------------------- (Munitions bunker) [JUDSON] Where is the game, Time Lord? [DOCTOR] You couldn't resist it, could you? The game of traps. Thecontest as before. One move. Find the winning move. Spring the trap onme, if you can. --------------------------------------- (Decrypt room) [MILLINGTON] Are you going to use that gun? You know your problem,Captain Bates? You don't know who the enemy is. A traitor is someonewho doesn't know who the enemy is. [VERSHININ] But I do. --------------------------------------- (Tunnel) [DOCTOR] I've been waiting. [HAEMOVORE] You know me? [DOCTOR] Thousands of years in the future, the Earth lies dying, thesurface just a chemical slime. Half a million years of industrialprogress. [HAEMOVORE] I am the last. The last living creature onEarth. I watched my world dying with chemicals, and I could do nothing.My world is dead. --------------------------------------- (Munitions bunker) [JUDSON] Who is it? Is that you, Time Lord? Tell me the solution. Thecontest is, is too much for such a weak body. [ACE] I don't know the solution. [JUDSON] Tell me. Tell me the solution. --------------------------------------- (Tunnel) [ DOCTOR] You're very patient. Carriedback thousands of years in a time storm, to ninth century Transylvania,and waiting till now. [HAEMOVORE] Without the flask, I was trapped. [DOCTOR] Oh yes, the flask. I trapped him like an evil genie. [HAEMOVORE] Only he can return me to the future. [DOCTOR] And so, like a faithful servant, you follow the flask. [HAEMOVORE] A merchant bought it from Constantinople. I followed himthrough Europe. I followed the Viking pirates who stole it, and Ifollowed it here. [DOCTOR] Another of Fenric's games. He carries you backin a time storm to destroy the Earth's water with chemicals, to destroyyour future. Think on it. Your Earth, your world, dying of a chemicalslime. This act will be the beginning of your end. --------------------------------------- (Decrypt room) [BATES] I owe you one. [ACE] What's happened? Are you all right? [BATES] We're all right now. We're fighting together now. [VERSHININ] War, a game played by politicians. We were just pawns in thegame, but the pawns are fighting together now. Eh, comrade? [ACE] That's it. The solution. The winning move! --------------------------------------- (Munitions bunker) [JUDSON] Where have you been? [SORIN] It's time to die, Fenric. [JUDSON] You don't understand. You don't know why you were selected forthis mission. [SORIN] Because I speak English. My grandmother was English. [JUDSON] Emily Wilson, granddaughter of Joseph Sundvik. You are touchedby the Curse of Fenric. I selected you. You are one of the Wolves ofFenric. --------------------------------------- (Decrypt room) [BATES] Are you sure you can stand? [VERSHININ] Workers of the world unite, comrade. --------------------------------------- (Munitions bunker) [ACE] Fenric would never have guessed the solution, anyway. [SORIN] Tell me, tovarich. [ACE] A brilliant move. The black and white pawns don't fight eachother, they join forces. [SORIN] Thank you, child. [DOCTOR] Ace! [SORIN] Black wins, Time Lord. [ACE] What's happened? [SORIN] The Wolves of Fenric, descendants of the Viking who first buriedthe flask, all pawns in my game. Doctor Judson, Commander Millington,the Ancient One, Captain Sorin, and now you. [ACE] Me? You can't! How? [SORIN] The baby. In thirty years, the baby will be grown. She will havea daughter. That daughter will be you. You've just created your ownfuture. [SORIN] The baby is your mother. The mother you hate. Kill them, slowly. [ACE] You don't stand a chance. Tell him, Doctor. He's got it wrong. [SORIN] The Time Lord has failed. The Wolves of Fenric have released me. [ACE] The Doctor never fails. I've got faith in him. Complete faith. [SORIN] Kill them. [DOCTOR] It can't penetrate Ace's psychic force. [SORIN] Time for the one final game, then. [SORIN] The choice is yours, Time Lord. I shall kill you anyway, but ifyou would like the girl to live, kneel before me. [ACE] I believe in you, Professor. [SORIN] Kneel, if you want the girl to live! [DOCTOR] Kill her. [SORIN] The Time Lord finally understands. [DOCTOR] Do you think I didn't know? The chess set in Lady Peinforte'sstudy? I knew. [SORIN] Earlier than that, Time Lord. Before Cybermen, ever since IceWorld, where you first met the girl. [DOCTOR] I knew. I knew she carried the evil inside her. Do you thinkI'd have chosen a social misfit if I hadn't known? She couldn't evenpass her chemistry exams at school, and yet she manages to create atime storm in her bedroom. I saw your hand in it from the verybeginning. [ACE] Doctor, no. [DOCTOR] She's an emotional cripple. I wouldn't waste my time on her,unless I had to use her somehow. [ACE] No! [SORIN] Kill them. [SORIN] Kill them, do you hear me? [SORIN] No! No. I command you! [SORIN] No! No! No! No. [DOCTOR] Come on. It's over. [ACE] Leave me alone! [DOCTOR] We've got to get out of here! [ACE] Leave me alone! --------------------------------------- (Naval camp) [ACE] Couldn't even pass a chemistry exam. [DOCTOR] I'd have done anything not to hurt you, but I had to save youfrom Fenric's evil curse. Your faith in me was holding the haemovoreback. [ACE] You said I was an emotional cripple, a social misfit. [DOCTOR] I had to make you lose your belief in me. [ACE] Full marks for teenage psychology. [DOCTOR] It's not true, believe me. --------------------------------------- (Maidens Point) [ACE] I don't love her! She's my mum, andI don't love her! What's wrong with me? Why can't I stophating her? [DOCTOR] You loved the baby. [ACE] But I didn't know she was my mum! [DOCTOR] Love and hate, frightening feelings, especially when they'retrapped struggling beneath the surface. Don't be frightened of thewater. --------------------------------------- (Underwater) [KATHLEEN [OC]] Audrey. It's all right, darling. [ACE [OC]] I'll always love you. I'll always love you. I'll always loveyou. [KATHLEEN [OC]] It's all right, darling. It's all right, darling. [ACE [OC]] I'll always love you. --------------------------------------- (Maidens Point) [ACE] I'm not scared now. [ACE] Dangerous undercurrents, Doctor? [DOCTOR] Not any more. Niet.

[ACE] You had to pick a Sunday, didn't you? You bring me back to theboredom capitol of the universe, you pick the one day of the week youcan't even get a decent television programme. [DOCTOR] As I recall, Ace, we came here at your request. [ACE] I just said I wondered what the old gang was up to, that's all.You didn't have to bring us here. You could have dropped me up in town.I could have phoned. I just wanted to see what my old mates were up to.You didn't have to have the guided tour. [ACE] Come on, Professor. [DOCTOR] So what's so terrible about Perivale? [ACE] Nothing ever happens here. --------------------------------------- (Back garden) [WOMAN] Wretched cats! Get out of my garden!! Go on, out! Out! Shoo!Shoo! --------------------------------------- (Horsenden Hill) [ACE] How long since I was here? [DOCTOR] You've been away as long as you think you have. [ACE] I feel like I've been away forever. [DOCTOR] Any particular reason for coming here? [ACE] It's Sunday. Some of the gang always comes up here on a Sunday. [DOCTOR] What for? [ACE] Oh, I don't know. Light a fire, muck about, you know. [ACE] Well, I told you it was dull. You don't have to hang around here.I'll meet you back at the Tardis if you want. [DOCTOR] Oh, I'm sure I'll find something to interest me. [ACE] Maybe they don't come up here anymore. There's no one around, isthere? Nothing but tin cans and stray cats. [DOCTOR] And horses. [ACE] Horses? In Perivale? Don't be stupid. --------------------------------------- (Tent) [MAN] Show me. [MAN] No. No sport for you here. --------------------------------------- (Horsenden Hill) [ACE] No one home. Are you really fed up? [DOCTOR] Mmm. [ACE] Do you mind if I just try down to the youth club? [DOCTOR] Mmm. --------------------------------------- (Youth club) [ACE] Where is everyone? Look at this. [ACE] We used to have the coffee bar here. What's happened to the coffeebar? I mean, it always was a dump, but at least you could meet people.Where is everyone? --------------------------------------- (Gym) [DOCTOR] Ace? [BOY] Come on, lift his arm. [PATERSON] Well, go on. Go on, lad. What are you waiting for? [STUART] I've beat him, Sarge! [PATERSON] Oh, you think we're playing games, do you? Let's pretend, eh?Is that it? Is that what you're going to do to help some villain, somemugger? Help him up, dust him down, shake hands? Go on! [PATERSON] That's better. That's it. You all right, son? [WRESTLER 2] Yes, Sarge. [PATERSON] You sure? On your feet, then. You okay? [WRESTLER 2] Yeah. [PATERSON] Right, you go get cleaned up. (to the Doctor) I'll be withyou in a minute. Okay, lads, shake hands and we'll see you next week,okay? Bye now. [PATERSON] What? [STUART] I'd already beat him, Sarge! [PATERSON] Oh, you think I'm too hard, do you? Pushing you too hard, amI? Have you ever heard of survival of the fittest, son, eh? Have youever heard of that? Life's not a game, son. I mean, I'm teaching youthe art of survival. I'm teaching you to fight back. What happens whenlife starts pushing you around, son, eh? What're you going todo then? [PATERSON] That's better. You all right now, eh? You all right? [STUART] All right, Sarge. [PATERSON] Good. Off you go, then. [DOCTOR] Survival of the fittest. Rather a glib generalisation, don'tyou think? Survival for what, Mister er? [PATERSON] Sergeant Paterson. You show me a better way of surviving, andI'll give it a go. [ACE] Where's everyone else? [PATERSON] Who you looking for, luv? --------------------------------------- (Youth club) [ACE [OC]] Everyone! Everyone used to hang around here on Sundays. Thiswas the only place you could get out of the house and out of theweather. [PATERSON [OC]] No, it's self-defence every Sunday afternoon now. --------------------------------------- (Gymnasium) [PATERSON] I don't know what happened to the waste.Don't I know you from somewhere? [ACE] I don't think so. [PATERSON] Oh, that's right. The police let you off with a warning,didn't they? --------------------------------------- (Youth club) [PATERSON [OC]] You were lucky. [ACE [OC]] Listen, I'm just looking for my friends, okay? [PATERSON [OC]] I don't think you'll have much luck, then. --------------------------------------- (Tent) [MAN] Ah. --------------------------------------- (Youth club) [PATERSON] I think you'll find most of your crowdhave moved on. [ACE] Moved on to where? [PATERSON] Well, I think you'd have a better idea of that than me, luv,eh? Where've you been hiding yourself? [ACE] Around. [PATERSON] Your mum had you listed as a missing person. You don't give atoss, do you? I dunno. Four kids gone missing just this month. Vanishedinto thin air. It's the parents I feel sorry for. Doesn't cost much tophone, luv. Ten pence, that's all. [ACE] Come on, Doctor. [PATERSON] I wouldn't be that age again if you paid me, would you? [DOCTOR] I can't remember. It's too long ago. --------------------------------------- (Outside the Youth club) [PATERSON] What a world to be young again in, eh? I reckon the onlything you can do is teach them to fight. That way, they'll fight or gounder. Half of them go under anyway around here. Can't save 'em.Wasters. [DOCTOR] Tell me Sergeant, do you have a problem with strays? [PATERSON] Stray what? [DOCTOR] Cats. [PATERSON] I wouldn't know. It's hardly a priority around here. [ACE] Come on, Doctor! [PATERSON] Doctor, eh? You're not in the best of shape yourself though,are you? You want to build yourself up. You know, I give a class downhere Monday nights for the older men. [DOCTOR] I've got to see a man about a cat. [PATERSON] Remember, keep fit and self-defence. One finger can be adeadly weapon! --------------------------------------- (Medway Parade) [ACE] Still looks the same. Dead. We were the only life there ever wasaround here. [ACE] I should have tried in here first, right? I wasn't thinking. Backin a sec. --------------------------------------- (20 Medway Parade) [HARVEY] (Norman, the round-faced one) Take this Sunday opening? Do youthink I wanna do it? [LEN] (Gareth, with the moustache) Do you think I wanna do it? Do youthink I want to give up my one day of rest to come in here and standbehind a cash register? [HARVEY] Standing behind a till all day can do your back in. I sawsomething about that on the news the other night. [LEN] Yeah. Law of the jungle, though, right? [HARVEY] Yeah. Survival of the fittest, mate. [LEN] I mean, all these other shops are open, aren't they? Where'd youthink we'd be if we didn't join in? [HARVEY] Down the plughole. Down the plughole without a paddle, mate.Can I help you? [DOCTOR] Yes. Which do you think they'd prefer? [LEN] What? [DOCTOR] Well, these brands. Which one do you think our feline friendswill find particularly irresistible? [HARVEY] Well, if you believe the advertisers, this is the one preferredby your cat connoisseur. [LEN] And that one has a taste all cat owners, who really care, put inthe dish. [HARVEY] Whereas these ones have the smell that drives a tabby cat wild. [LEN] No, no, no. That's an aftershave ad. [HARVEY] Is it? [LEN] Or is it for cars? [HARVEY] All I know is, my Tiger prefers cheese. [DOCTOR] Cheese! Ah, yes. [HARVEY] It's the law of the jungle now, mate, innit? [LEN] Hmm. There are these two blokes, right? In a tent, in the jungle. [HARVEY] You got another one for me, ain't you? Go on, then, go on. [LEN] It's really dark, and they hear this terrible noise outside thetent. This terrible roaring noise. And one bloke turns to the otherbloke and he says, do you hear that? [HARVEY] What? [LEN] I said, did you hear that? [HARVEY] Oh, right, yeah. [LEN] That was a lion. [LEN] And the other bloke, he doesn't say anything. He just startsputting on his running shoes. And the other bloke turns to him andsays, what are you doing? You can't outrun a lion. The bloke turns tohim and says, I don't have to outrun the lion. [HARVEY] (feeble laugh) Don't get it. [DOCTOR] He doesn't have to outrun the lion, only his friend. Then thelion catches up with his friend and eats him. The strong survive, theweak are killed. The law of the jungle. [HARVEY] Oh yeah. Very clever. [DOCTOR] Yes, very clever, if you don't mind losing your friend. Butwhat happens when the next lion turns up? [LEN] What next lion? [DOCTOR] I think you'd better get your running shoes on, gentlemen. --------------------------------------- (Outside Drayton Court pub) [DOCTOR] Did you find your friends, then? [ACE] No one even remembers them. [DOCTOR] I'm sure I've forgotten something. [LEN] Oi, haven't you forgotten something? [DOCTOR] Yes. [LEN] Money. [DOCTOR] No, it wasn't that. [ACE] I got lucky on the fruit machine. [DOCTOR] Lucky? [ACE] Well, they're all fixed anyway, those machines. --------------------------------------- (Shop stock room) [HARVEY] Tiger? Puss. Here, boy. Tiger? Puss. Here. [HARVEY] Len! [LEN] What is it? [HARVEY] Something's eaten Tiger. --------------------------------------- (Medway Parade) [ACE] Ange! [ANGE] Oh, hi, Ace. I thought you were dead. [ACE] What? [ANGE] That's what they said. Either you were dead, or you'd gone toBirmingham. Who's he? [ACE] Oh, a friend of mine. [ANGE] Oh. So you back to see your family? [ACE] No. [ANGE] So what you doing here? You're well out of this dump. [ACE] I just wanted to see my friends, catch up a bit. [ANGE] Oh. [ACE] So where is everyone? [ANGE] Who? [ACE] Jay? [ANGE] Dunno. Moved over west someplace. Think he's doing windowcleaning, that's what I heard. [ACE] Stevie? [ANGE] Oh, he's gone. [DOCTOR] Where are they all coming from? [ACE] Flo? [ANGE] Married Darth. [ACE] Darth Vader, the brain-dead plumber? Flo? [ANGE] Yeah. Makes you think, eh? [ACE] What about Shreela? [ANGE] Oh, she's gone. [ACE] Midge? [ANGE] He's gone, too. [ACE] Gone? What do you mean, gone? [ANGE] I don't know. Gone. Vanished. [ACE] People don't just vanish. [ANGE] You did. [ACE] Yeah, well, that's different. [ANGE] Is it? [ACE] Yeah. So when did they go? [ANGE] Dunno. Last month? [ACE] What? [ANGE] Well, Midge and Stevie went last month. Shreela went last week.They had to scrape her mum off the ceiling. Funny though, I alwaysthought she got on well with her family. [ACE] This doesn't make sense. [ANGE] That's what I said. Know what I reckon? [ACE] What? [ANGE] UFOs. They whisk 'em off and do experiments on them like we do onanimals. I wouldn't fancy cutting Stevie up to see what's inside, wouldyou? Come on, give us ten pence, then. [DOCTOR] Not a very efficient way to hunt, is it? All that noise andpantomime just to slaughter one little animal. No, if you're going tohunt, you stalk your prey. You observe it, so you can take it bysurprise, and then you don't kill too many. Cover your tracks, so youdon't leave a smell. Can you smell that? [ANGE] Can't. Hay fever. [ACE] What are you talking about, Professor? Is something going on here? [DOCTOR] Not sure. [ANGE] Is he? [ACE] Professor! [DOCTOR] When is a cat not a cat? When it builds its own cat flap. [DOCTOR] Bait, Ace. Bait. [ACE] Hang on, Professor! --------------------------------------- (Tent) [MAN] Show me. Show me. [MAN] Yes, he'll do very well. --------------------------------------- (Woodhouse Avenue) [ACE] I can't believe he said that, you know. ThatT.A. twit. I reckon that was well out of order. Ten pence. I mean, evenif I could've phoned, which I couldn't really, do you think anyonewould've listened to me? [DOCTOR] Tin opener. [ACE] It was just that time. Just the whole crowd. We had a really goodlaugh. I can't believe they've all just disappeared. [ACE] Professor? [DOCTOR] Tin opener. [ACE] Professor? [DOCTOR] Hmm? [ACE] Are you listening to me? [DOCTOR] Quiet, Ace, I'm concentrating. [DOCTOR] No, you're not the one I'm after. [WOMAN] (mouths) What are you doing? [DOCTOR] Shush. Be quiet. Shoo. --------------------------------------- (Playground) [ACE] Wow. --------------------------------------- (Woodhouse Avenue) [DOCTOR] Go on, go away! Go on! Shoo! Dog, go away! [ACE [OC]] Doctor! [DOCTOR] Ace! --------------------------------------- (Playground) [ACE] Doctor! [DOCTOR] So, they've taken you away, taken you to their planet, but I'llfind you. I'll bring you back. They're not going to stop me.Nothing's going to stop me. --------------------------------------- (Cheetah World) (Woodhouse Avenue) [DOCTOR] Got you! [PATERSON] Got you! Now, what do you think you're up to? [DOCTOR] Sergeant! [PATERSON] I've had complaints. [DOCTOR] What's it got to do with you? [PATERSON] Neighbourhood watch. [DOCTOR] I've no time for that. I've got to catch that cat! [PATERSON] You're a public nuisance. [DOCTOR] Will you leave me go? [PATERSON] Now, look, don't be stupid. Don't get yourself into realtrouble. [DOCTOR] One finger can be a deadly weapon. --------------------------------------- (Cheetah World) [STUART] Go away! Get away from here! Get away from here! [SHREELA] Ace. [ACE] Shreela! [SHREELA] Ace, you shouldn't have run. They always go for you if yourun. --------------------------------------- (Behind the back gardens) [DOCTOR] Why don't you come out and we'll talk about this sensibly, hmm? [PATERSON] Hey, come back! Come back here! --------------------------------------- (Camp) [ACE] Midge! [MIDGE] Hi, Ace. Long time. [ACE] Is Stevie here, too? [SHREELA] He was. [MIDGE] Stevie? He's cat food, isn't he? [SHREELA] Stop it. [MIDGE] This is Derek. He's doing very well. He's been here three weeks.Only got flesh wounds. [SHREELA] We'll have to move on soon. They hunt at night sometimes. [MIDGE] They can see in the dark. You can't see them, just their eyes. [ACE] Just as well I'm here. You need sorting out, you lot? --------------------------------------- (Street) [PATERSON] Got you! [DOCTOR] Get off! --------------------------------------- (Cheetah camp) [DOCTOR] You stupid [PATERSON] Where the hell are we? [DOCTOR] Shut up, and we may survive. [DOCTOR] Shush, shush. [MASTER] Why, Doctor. [MASTER] What an unexpected pleasure. --------------------------------------- (Cheetah World) [SHREELA] They don't bother us. They only eat us when we're dead. It'slike they're watching us. [ACE] Yeah. [SHREELA] Come on, Ace. We're not safe in the open. [ACE] You're telling me. --------------------------------------- (Cheetah camp) [MASTER] Run, Doctor. Run. [DOCTOR] Don't run! [DOCTOR] No, Paterson! [MASTER] I was relying on your intelligence, Doctor. It would be such anuncivilised death. [DOCTOR] They're just playing with him. [MASTER] They're essentially a fun-loving species. Now, Doctor, thereare things I must discuss with you. --------------------------------------- (Forest track) [ACE] Okay, so what do we do? [MIDGE] Do? We die. Maybe today, maybe next week. We could hurry thingsup a bit, go and find one of those big pussy cats. That what you want totry? [SHREELA] We tried to fight one once. It caught Stevie. [MIDGE] She threw sticks at it. [ACE] Oh yeah? And where were you, Midge? [SHREELA] You can't hurt them. [DEREK] They're invincible. [ACE] Nothing's invincible. [MIDGE] That's right, Ace, you tell us. You sort us out. [SHREELA] Better get back to camp. We're not safe in the open air. [ACE] Well, are we any safer back there? At least out here in the openyou can see them coming. [SHREELA] They usually don't bother us in there. They only hunt in theopen, unless they're hungry, then they take us anywhere. [ACE] Why do they only hunt in the open? [MIDGE] What do you think this is, The Wonderful World of Wildlife? Whoknows? Why do they always ride through here? Why do they always eat usup without ketchup? [ACE] They always ride through here? [MIDGE] So what? [ACE] So let's get one. [MIDGE] You what? [ACE] Nothing's invincible. We've got to fight back! --------------------------------------- (Cheetah camp) [DOCTOR] That was a useful trick before. [MASTER] Pretty, aren't they? They're a useful distraction. [DOCTOR] Charming. [DOCTOR] Come on, pussycats! Come on! [DOCTOR] Fetch! Come on, fetch! [MASTER] I'm afraid they're not so easily distracted. They're moreinterested in him. [MASTER] Stay! Stay! Doctor, why don't we leave these animals to theirmeal? [DOCTOR] Come on, Paterson! [MASTER] No! [DOCTOR] A bit of healthy exercise, Paterson! Do you a world of good! [MASTER] Doctor, I'm warning you. I control these animals. They're mineto command. I control them! [MASTER] Very well. I'll find some other food for you. --------------------------------------- (Forest track) [ACE] Come on, Shreela! [SHREELA] Shush. [SHREELA] Plan B? --------------------------------------- (Cheetah World) [PATERSON] It's just not like me, you know. You askanyone, Sarge'll keep his head in a crisis. You ask any of the lads. Idon't scare easily, Doctor, believe you me. [DOCTOR] Hmm. [PATERSON] I was on one of those survival courses, you know, SAS styleof thing. I was the only one that ate the worm stew. [DOCTOR] Very impressive. [PATERSON] But this, this is just. Where the hell are we, anyway? [DOCTOR] We're on the planet of the Cheetah People, intelligentcarnivores. No one knows much about them. They don't survive longenough to find anything out. [PATERSON] You're trying to tell me we're on another planet? [DOCTOR] Yes. The trouble is, I've never heard of the Cheetah Peoplehunting so far away from their feeding grounds before. And the kitling [PATERSON] The what? [DOCTOR] That. A kitling. A feline vulture. It's got the power ofteleportation. It can jump from world to world hunting for carrion. [DOCTOR] I think we're going to be in big trouble, Sergeant. [PATERSON] You're the one who's on another planet, aren'tyou. --------------------------------------- (Camp) [MIDGE] He's going to get us all killed. He's goingget us all killed! [DEREK] No! Get off me! [ACE] Sit down and shut up! [SHREELA] Listen! [DOCTOR] Ahem. [ACE] What kept you? [DOCTOR] How many times have I told you about playing with fire? --------------------------------------- (Tent) [MASTER] Where are you, Doctor? What's your plan? You mustn'tdie. --------------------------------------- (Cheetah World) [PATERSON] Got to stick together, lads. That's the way. Stealth, that'swhat's needed here. Stealth and surprise. You follow me and I'll get usthrough this. I'm a hunting animal. I've got instinct for it. [DOCTOR] Oh, do shut up. This planet's disintegrating. According to mycalculations, the safest place at the moment is over there. [DEREK] Yeah, but what about them? [DOCTOR] We have to make our way through. [PATERSON] This disintegration, you think we're going to blow up? [DOCTOR] Well, it is an old planet, a bit frayed at the edges. We'll besafe over there. Safe from theCheetahs, and the Master. [ACE] Master? Who's he? [DOCTOR] An evil genius. One of my oldest and deadliest of enemies. [ACE] Do you know any nice people? You know, ordinary people, notpower-crazed nutters trying to take over the galaxy? [DOCTOR] I don't think he's trying to take over the galaxy this time. [ACE] So what's all this in aid of? [DOCTOR] He's got some mind-link. The cats, the kitlings. [ACE] And they find things for the Cheetah People to eat. [DOCTOR] Yeah. [MASTER] Hunt him. Seek him out. Find him for me. Hurry. Must keepcontrol. I must keep control. --------------------------------------- (Cheetah World) [DEREK] Oh! [MIDGE] No sudden movements. [DOCTOR] They won't bother you unless they're hungry. [ACE] Well, these Cheetahs look hungry. [DOCTOR] They're essentially a fun-loving species. [DOCTOR] Is it my imagination, or am I getting hot? [ACE] Doctor, I think we'd better keep moving. [DOCTOR] Yes. Quietly, gently. Just taking a nice little stroll. [DOCTOR] You see? It's all a matter of keeping your head and allowingfor the unexpected. [DOCTOR] Oh no. [DOCTOR] Don't move! [ACE] What? [DOCTOR] There's one thing more dangerous than being attacked by aCheetah, and that is attacking aCheetah. You do not know what it will do to you! [ACE] But Doctor [DOCTOR] Don't move! [PATERSON] I'm not putting up with this. I'm not standing here andgetting eaten alive! [DOCTOR] Idiot! [PATERSON] Come on, then! Come and fight! [DOCTOR] Don't' move! [DEREK] No! No! [MIDGE] Come on! [DOCTOR] Stay still! [DEREK] Help me! [DOCTOR] Don't run! Stay still! [DEREK] Help me! No! [ACE] Get off! Get off! Come on, then! [ACE] Doctor! [SHREELA] Get off! [DOCTOR] I told you to stay still! [DOCTOR] Stay still! Don't run! [PATERSON] Come on! [DOCTOR] Ace? Ace? --------------------------------------- (Ruins) [DOCTOR] Ace. Oh, Ace. [MASTER] Good hunting, Doctor? [MASTER] They're fighting again in the dead valley. [DOCTOR] It's breaking up. [MASTER] This planet's alive. The animals are part of the planet. Whenthey fight each other, they trigger explosions. They hasten theplanet's destruction. [DOCTOR] How long before it blows up? [MASTER] Not long. They've been fighting a long time. [DOCTOR] Why did you bring me here? [MASTER] I need your help. [DOCTOR] You're trapped. You can't escape. [MASTER] Just so. It seems the creatures of this world can't take usaway from here, they can only bring us to this place. [DOCTOR] Yes. They can only return home with their prey. [MASTER] I never thought of it quite that way. [DOCTOR] But now that we're both trapped, what good is it to you? [MASTER] You'll find a way out, Doctor. You must. [DOCTOR] Why should I help you? [MASTER] It's not just death we're all facing. This place bewitches you.If we stay here, we'll be like the people who built these. They thoughtthey could control the planet, the wilderness. They were the ones thatbred the kitlings. Creatures with minds they could talk to, eyes theycould see through the way I do. It only led to their corruption. Weshall become like them. [MASTER] We shall become animals. --------------------------------------- (Cheetah World) [PATERSON] You all right, lad, eh? [DEREK] Yeah. --------------------------------------- (Lakeside) [KARRA] I want water. [ACE] What? [KARRA] Want water. It will make me well very fast. [DOCTOR] Ace? [ACE] What is it? Should we leave it, Doctor? [DOCTOR] They're extremely dangerous creatures. They could eat you. Or [ACE] Or what? [DOCTOR] Worse. [ACE] What's worse? [DOCTOR] Let's just say they are dangerously attractive. [ACE] I think it's the one that chased me, that killed that boy. [DOCTOR] It could be useful to us. [ACE] You mean it could help us get home? [DOCTOR] They're hunting animals, Ace. We're their prey. They bringtheir prey home. [ACE] So what? [DOCTOR] We need an animal whose home is Earth. [ACE] Better keep it alive, then. [DOCTOR] Ace. [ACE] What? [DOCTOR] It could be very dangerous for you. [ACE] Don't worry, Professor. I'm no one's bowl of cat food. [MASTER] Whose home is Earth. --------------------------------------- (Cheetah World) [PATERSON] Right, you just follow the Sarge andI'll get us all through this. There's nothing I don't know aboutsurvival. It's kill or be killed, right? Kill or be killed. [MIDGE] Kill or be killed. [PATERSON] Good lad. You'll come through. We'll come through, if youjust follow the Sarge. Are you with me? [MIDGE] Yes. [PATERSON] Are you all with me? [MIDGE] Yeah! [PATERSON] Well, you'd better get with me, because if we're going tosurvive we can't carry shirkers and we can't carry deadwood! [MIDGE] (to Derek) No deadwood. --------------------------------------- (Lakeside) [ACE] Where are the others? [DOCTOR] I don't know. We'll have to find them, and soon. [ACE] It's weird, Doctor. I think I like this place. I like it. I feellike I belong here. [DOCTOR] Connected. [ACE] I'm a bit scared. It feels exciting. [DOCTOR] What do you feel? [ACE] Like I could run forever. I can smell things as clear as pictures. [DOCTOR] Anything else? [ACE] Well, I'm starving, Professor. [DEREK [OC]] Help! [SHREELA] No! [PATERSON] Don't be a fool! [SHREELA] No! Get off him! [PATERSON] Stop it! [SHREELA] No! [DEREK] Help! [SHREELA] Leave him alone! [PATERSON] Midge! [DOCTOR] Midge! [MIDGE] He's going to get us all killed less someone sorts him out. [DOCTOR] Sorts him out? [MIDGE] Yeah! [DOCTOR] Where did you get this? [MIDGE] I killed it. I killed it. [PATERSON] Now then, son, why don't you just give me the weapon, eh? [DOCTOR] Midge! It's not too late to go home. [SHREELA] Home? [DOCTOR] Come on. We'd better follow him. [DOCTOR] This way. [MASTER] Go hunting. Go home. [DOCTOR] Midge! [MASTER] You see, Doctor, you did help me. You kept these others alivejust long enough to serve my purposes. [DOCTOR] Midge, wait. [MASTER] Don't worry, one of these others will become aCheetah animal before you. You can escape in your turn. Or are you toosqueamish? Only the animals of this place can leave, Doctor,because they carry it with them. [DOCTOR] Midge, listen to me. [MASTER] He doesn't remember his name. (to Midge) Go home. [SHREELA] So there is a way out. [DOCTOR] A way out? Yes. We wait for one of us to change and then we usethem, before they try to escape or kill us all. [PATERSON] Well, there's no telling who'll be next, is there? Just get agrip and (to Derek) What are you looking at? It's him, isn't it? He'sthe one! You stay away from me! [SHREELA] Look! [ACE] Oh, yeah. She's better. Doctor, look! --------------------------------------- (Lakeside) [KARRA] Come hunting, sister. [DOCTOR] Wait. [KARRA] Come hunting. [DOCTOR] No. [SHREELA] Ace! It's happened. It's happened to her. She'schanging. [DOCTOR] Yes. [PATERSON] Who's next, eh? Who's next? If I had a gun [DOCTOR] We'd be in even more trouble than we are already! Right, stayhere. I'll follow her. [PATERSON] Just a minute. [DOCTOR] I can leave you in charge, can't I, Sergeant? [PATERSON] Yeah, sure. [SHREELA] But what if more Cheetahs come? [DOCTOR] Stay still and try not to look like a hamburger. Don't look soglum. It could be worse. It could be Perivale. --------------------------------------- (Midge's flat) [MASTER] I will be free of it. I will be free of it. [MASTER] Ah. You are all animal now. You're so weak, your will devoured.A stronger mind will hold onto itself longer, a will as strong as mine.How much longer? If I have to suffer this contamination, thishumiliation, if I am to become an animal, then like an animal I willdestroy you, Doctor. I will hunt you, trap you, and destroy you. --------------------------------------- (By a pond) [ACE] I thought cats hated water. [KARRA] I'm not a cat. I'm Karra. I'm your sister. [ACE] No, you're not. Why do you keep calling me that? [KARRA] You're like me. [ACE] Yeah? [KARRA] You will be. [ACE] This is good. I like feeling like this. [ACE] Where's the Doctor? I've got to get back to the Doctor. [KARRA] Are you hungry? The chase. [ACE] What? [KARRA] The hunt. Smell the blood on the wind. Hear the blood in yourears. Run, run beyond the horizon and catch your hunger! [KARRA] Are you hungry, sister? Come hunting. --------------------------------------- (Cheetah World) [DOCTOR] Oh, Ace, you're running, but whatare you running towards? [DOCTOR] Ace, how far have you gone? Can you come back? --------------------------------------- (By an old kill) [KARRA] Good hunting. Good. [ACE] You kill people. You eat people. [KARRA] When I'm hungry, I hunt. When I hunt, I eat. [ACE] Would you eat me? [KARRA] There is meat here. [ACE] Yeah, but if there wasn't, would you kill me? [KARRA] How fast can you run, sister? [ACE] Fast enough. [KARRA] Ah, that would be a good hunt. Are you hungry? Come and eat. [DOCTOR] Ace! Ace, come back. Come home. Come home. [KARRA] Good hunting, sister. [ACE] What's happening to me, Doctor? [DOCTOR] It's all right, Ace. We're going home. --------------------------------------- (Midge's flat) [MASTER] Look at me. Look at me. You have powernow. We have power now. [MIDGE] Yes. [MASTER] You can do anything you want now. Anything. [MIDGE] Yeah! [MASTER] You're my hunting dog, Midge. The teeth for my trap. Trust me,Midge. Trust me. [MIDGE] Trust me, Midge. Trust me. --------------------------------------- (Lakeside) [DOCTOR] Ace, listen to me. You're possessed. It's the planet, theCheetah people. You've changed. [ACE] Yes. [DOCTOR] You're powerful, dangerous. [ACE] Yes. [DOCTOR] You can do what they do. You can carry your prey home. You canhelp us escape. [ACE] Yes? [DOCTOR] But if you do that, you may never change back. You'll becomelike the Cheetah people forever. [ACE] What shall I do? Tell me, Doctor. I trust you. [DOCTOR] The choice is yours.

[BLONDE] Did you hear that racket? Did you hear it? Flipping cat fightsall hours of the day. [DOCTOR] I think you'll find things quieting down now. [BLONDE] So you say. Flipping cats. It's the owners I blame. They wantthe pet, right? They want the animal, but do they keep it undercontrol? [DOCTOR] Well, we try. [BLONDE] So you say. --------------------------------------- (Horsenden Hill) [DOCTOR] Mine, I believe. [DOCTOR] Thank you. [ACE] Where have they gone? [DOCTOR] They've been taken back to the wilderness. The place isdifferent but the hunt goes on. You know all about the hunt, don't you,Ace? [ACE] I felt like I could run forever, like I could smell the wind andfeel the grass under my feet and just run forever. [DOCTOR] The planet's gone, but lives on inside you. It always will. [ACE] Good. And the Master? [DOCTOR] Who knows? Where to now, Ace? [ACE] Home. [DOCTOR] Home? [ACE] The Tardis. [DOCTOR] Yes, the Tardis. [DOCTOR [OC]] There are worlds out there where the sky is burning, wherethe sea's asleep, and the rivers dream. People made of smoke, andcities made of song. Somewhere there's danger, somewhere there'sinjustice, and somewhere else the tea's getting cold. Come on, Ace,we've got work to do!

Is this astudent thing or what? [DOCTOR] Why would they be students? [ROSE] I don't know. [DOCTOR] Well, you said it. Why students? [ROSE] 'Cos to get that many people dressed up and being silly, they gotto be students. [DOCTOR] That makes sense. Well done. [ROSE] Thanks. [DOCTOR] They're not students. [ROSE] Whoever they are, when Wilson finds them, he's going to call thepolice. [DOCTOR] Who's Wilson? [ROSE] Chief electrician. [DOCTOR] Wilson's dead. --------------------------------------- (Behind Hendrik's) [ROSE] That's just not funny. That's sick! [DOCTOR] Hold on. Mind your eyes. [ROSE] I've had enough of this now. [ROSE] Who are you, then? Who's that lot down there? I said, who arethey? [DOCTOR] They're made of plastic. Living plastic creatures. They'rebeing controlled by a relay device in the roof, which would be a greatbig problem if I didn't have this. (a small bomb) So, I'm going to goup there and blow them up, and I might well die in the process, butdon't worry about me. No, you go home. Go on. Go and have your lovelybeans on toast. Don't tell anyone about this, because if you do, you'llget them killed. [DOCTOR] I'm the Doctor, by the way. What's your name? [ROSE] Rose. [DOCTOR] Nice to meet you, Rose. Run for your life! --------------------------------------- (Street) [TAXI DRIVER] Watch it! --------------------------------------- (The Tyler's flat) [TELEVISION] The whole of Central London has been closed off as policeinvestigate the fire. Early reports indicate [JACKIE] I know. It's on the telly. It's everywhere. She's lucky to bealive. Honestly, it's aged her. Skin like an old bible. Walking in nowyou'd think I was her daughter. Oh, and here's himself. [MICKEY] I've been phoning your mobile. You could've been dead. It's on the newsand everything. I can't believe that your shop went up! [ROSE] I'm all right, honestly, I'm fine! Don't make a fuss. [MICKEY] Well, what happened? [ROSE] I don't know! [MICKEY] What was it though? What caused it? [ROSE] I wasn't in the shop. I was outside. I didn't see anything. [JACKIE] It's Debbie on the end. She knows a man on the Mirror. Fivehundred quid for an interview. [ROSE] Oh that's brilliant! Give it here. [JACKIE] Well, you've got to find some way of making money. Your job'skaput and I'm not bailing you out. [JACKIE] Bev! She's alive. I've told her, sue for compensation. She waswithin seconds of death. [MICKEY] What're you drinking, tea? Nah, nah, that's no good, that's nogood. You're in shock. You need something stronger. [ROSE] I'm all right. [MICKEY] Now, come on, you deserve a proper drink. We're going down thepub, you and me. My treat. How about it? [ROSE] Is there a match on? [MICKEY] No, I'm just thinking about you, babe. [ROSE] There's a match on, ain't there. [MICKEY] That's not the point, but we could catch the last five minutes. [ROSE] Go on, then. I'm fine, really. Go. Get rid of that. [MICKEY] Bye, bye. [ROSE] Bye. [TELEVISION] Fire then spread throughout the store. Fifteen fire crewsare in attendance though it's thought there is very little chance ofsaving the infrastructure. --------------------------------------- (Rose's bedroom) [JACKIE [OC]] There's no point in getting up, sweetheart. You've got nojob to go to. --------------------------------------- (The Tyler's flat) [JACKIE] There's Finch's. You could try them.They've always got jobs. [ROSE] Oh, great. The butchers. [JACKIE] Well, it might do you good. That shop was giving you airs andgraces. And I'm not joking about compensation. You've had genuine shockand trauma. Arianna got two thousand quid off the council just becausethe old man behind the desk said she looked Greek! I know she is Greek,but that's not the point. It was a valid claim. [ROSE] Mum, you're such a liar. I told you to nail that cat flap down.We're going to get strays. [JACKIE] I did it weeks back! [ROSE] No, you thought about it. [DOCTOR] What're you doing here? [ROSE] I live here. [DOCTOR] Well, what do you do that for? [ROSE] Because I do. I'm only at home because someone blew up my job. [DOCTOR] I must have got the wrong signal. You're not plastic, are you?No, bonehead. Bye, then. [ROSE] You. Inside. Right now. [JACKIE [OC]] Who is it? --------------------------------------- (Jackie's bedroom) [ROSE] It's about last night. He's part of the inquiry. Give us tenminutes. [JACKIE] She deserves compensation. [DOCTOR] Oh, we're talking millions. [JACKIE] I'm in my dressing gown. [DOCTOR] Yes, you are. [JACKIE] There's a strange man in my bedroom. [DOCTOR] Yes, there is. [JACKIE] Well, anything could happen. [DOCTOR] No. --------------------------------------- (The Tyler's flat) [ROSE] Don't mind the mess. Do you want a coffee? [DOCTOR] Might as well, thanks. Just milk. [ROSE] We should go to the police. Seriously. Both of us. [DOCTOR] That won't last, he's gay and she's an alien. [ROSE] I'm not blaming you, even if it was just some sort of joke thatwent wrong. [DOCTOR] Hmm. Sad ending. [ROSE] They said on the news they'd found a body. [DOCTOR] Rose Tyler. [DOCTOR] Ah, could've been worse. Look at the ears. [ROSE] All the same, he was nice. Nice bloke. [DOCTOR] Luck be a lady. [ROSE] Anyway, if we are going to go to the police, I want to know whatI'm saying. [ROSE] I want you to explain everything. [DOCTOR] Maybe not. [DOCTOR] What's that, then? You got a cat? [ROSE] No. [ROSE] We did have, but now they're just strays. They come in off theestate. [ROSE] I told Mickey to chuck that out. You're all the same. Give a mana plastic hand. Anyway, I don't even know your name. Doctor, what wasit? [DOCTOR] It's all right, I've stopped it. There you go, you see?Armless. [ROSE] Do you think? [DOCTOR] Ow! --------------------------------------- (Staircase) [ROSE] Hold on a minute. You can't just go swanningoff. [DOCTOR] Yes I can. Here I am. This is me, swanning off. See you. [ROSE] But that arm was moving. It tried to kill me. [DOCTOR] Ten out of ten for observation. [ROSE] You can't just walk away. That's not fair. You've got to tell mewhat's going on. [DOCTOR] No, I don't. --------------------------------------- (Outside the block of flats) [ROSE] All right,then. I'll go to the police. I'll tell everyone. You said, if I didthat, I'd get people killed. So, your choice. Tell me, or I'll starttalking. [DOCTOR] Is that supposed to sound tough? [ROSE] Sort of. [DOCTOR] Doesn't work. [ROSE] Who are you? [DOCTOR] Told you. The Doctor. [ROSE] Yeah, but Doctor what? [DOCTOR] Just the Doctor. [ROSE] The Doctor. [DOCTOR] Hello! [ROSE] Is that supposed to sound impressive? [DOCTOR] Sort of. [ROSE] Come on, then. You can tell me. I've seen enough. Are you thepolice? [DOCTOR] No, I was just passing through. I'm a long way from home. [ROSE] But what have I done wrong? How comes those plastic things keepcoming after me? [DOCTOR] Oh, suddenly the entire world revolves around you. You werejust an accident. You got in the way, that's all. [ROSE] It tried to kill me. [DOCTOR] It was after me, not you. Last night, in the shop, I was there,you blundered in, almost ruined the whole thing. This morning, I wastracking it down, it was tracking me down. The only reason it fixed onyou is 'cos you've met me. [ROSE] So what you're saying is, the entire world revolves around you. [DOCTOR] Sort of, yeah. [ROSE] You're full of it. [DOCTOR] Sort of, yeah. [ROSE] But, all this plastic stuff. Who else knows about it? [DOCTOR] No one. [ROSE] What, you're on your own? [DOCTOR] Well, who else is there? I mean, you lot, all you do is eatchips, go to bed, and watch telly, while all the time, underneath you,there's a war going on. [ROSE] Okay. Start from the beginning. I mean, if we're going to go withthe living plastic, and I don't even believe that, but if we do, howdid you kill it? [DOCTOR] The thing controlling it projects life into the arm. I cut offthe signal, dead. [ROSE] So that's radio control? [DOCTOR] Thought control. Are you all right? [ROSE] Yeah. So, who's controlling it, then? [DOCTOR] Long story. [ROSE] But what's it all for? I mean, shop window dummies, what's thatabout? Is someone trying to take over Britain's shops? [DOCTOR] No. [ROSE] No. [DOCTOR] It's not a price war. They want to overthrow the human race anddestroy you. Do you believe me? [ROSE] No. [DOCTOR] But you're still listening. [ROSE] Really, though, Doctor. Tell me, who are you? [DOCTOR] Do you know like we were saying about the Earth revolving? It'slike when you were a kid. The first time they tell you the world'sturning and you just can't quite believe it because everything lookslike it's standing still. I can feel it. The turn of the Earth. Theground beneath our feet is spinning at a thousand miles an hour, andthe entire planet is hurtling round the sun at sixty seven thousandmiles an hour, and I can feel it. We're falling through space, you andme, clinging to the skin of this tiny little world, and if we let go.That's who I am. Now, forget me, Rose Tyler. Go home. --------------------------------------- (Mickey's flat) [MICKEY] Hey, hey, here's my woman. Kit off! [ROSE] Shut up. [MICKEY] Coffee? [ROSE] Yeah, only if you wash the mug. And I don't mean rinse, I meanwash. Can I use your computer? [MICKEY] Yeah. Any excuse to get in the bedroom. Don't read my emails! --------------------------------------- (Clive's street) [ROSE] You're not coming in. He's safe. He's got a wife and kids. [MICKEY] Yeah, who told you that? He did. That's exactly what aninternet lunatic murderer would say. [ROSE] Hello, I've come to see Clive? We've been emailing. [BOY] Dad! It's one of your nutters! [CLIVE] Oh, sorry. Hello. You must be Rose. I'm Clive, obviously. [ROSE] I'd better tell you now. My boyfriend's waiting in the car, justin case you're going to kill me. [CLIVE] No, good point. No murders. [CAROLINE [OC]] Who is it? [CLIVE] Oh, it's something to do with the Doctor. She's been reading thewebsite. Please, come through. I'm in the shed. [CAROLINE] She? She's read a website about the Doctor? She's a she? --------------------------------------- (Clive's shed) [CLIVE] A lot of thisstuff's quite sensitive. I couldn't just send it to you. People mightintercept it, if you know what I mean. If you dig deep enough and keepa lively mind, this Doctor keeps cropping up all over the place.Political diaries,conspirisy theories, even ghost stories. No first name, no last name,just the Doctor. Always The Doctor. And the title seems to have beenpassed down from father to son. It appears to be an inheritance. That'syour Doctor there, isn't it? [ROSE] Yeah. [CLIVE] I tracked it down to the Washington public archive just lastyear. The online photo's enhanced, but if we look at the original [CLIVE] November the 22nd, 1963. The assassination of President Kennedy.You see? [ROSE] It must be his father. [CLIVE] Going further back. April 1912. This is a photo of the Danielsfamily of Southampton, and friend. This was taken the day before theywere due to sail off for the New World on the Titanic, and for someunknown reason, they cancelled the trip and survived. And here we are.1883. Another Doctor. (a sketch) And look, the same lineage. It'sidentical. This one washed up on the coast of Sumatra on the very dayKrakatoa exploded. The Doctor is a legend woven throughout history.When disaster comes, he's there. He brings the storm in his wake and hehas one constant companion. [ROSE] Who's that? [CLIVE] Death. [CLIVE] If the Doctor's back, if you've seen him, Rose, then one thing'sfor certain. We're all in danger. --------------------------------------- (Clive's Street) [MICKEY] Come on, then. --------------------------------------- (Clive's shed) [CLIVE] If he's singled you out, if the Doctor'smaking house calls, then God help you. [ROSE] But who is he? Who do you think he is? [CLIVE] I think he's the same man. I think he's immortal. I think he'san alien from another world. --------------------------------------- (Clive's street) [ROSE] All right, he's a nutter. Off his head. Complete onlineconspiracy freak. You win! What are we going to do tonight? I fancy apizza. [MICKEY] Pizza! P-p-p-pizza! [ROSE] Or Chinese. [MICKEY] Pizza! --------------------------------------- (Pizza restaurant) [ROSE] Do you think I should try the hospital? Suki said they had ajobsgoing in the canteen. Is that it then, dishing out chips. I could do ALevels. I don't know. It's all Jimmy Stone's fault. I only left schoolbecause of him. Look where he ended up. What do you think? [MICKEY] So, where did you meet this Doctor? [ROSE] I'm sorry, wasn't I talking about me for a second? [MICKEY] Because I reckon it started back at the shop, am I right? Washe something to do with that? [ROSE] No. [MICKEY] Come on. [ROSE] Sort of. [MICKEY] What was he doing there? [ROSE] I'm not going on about it, Mickey. Really, I'm not, because, Iknow it sounds daft, but I don't think it's safe. I think he'sdangerous. [MICKEY] But you can trust me, sweetheart. Babe, (deep) sugar, babe,sugar. You can tell me anything. Tell me about the Doctor and what he'splanning, and I can help you, Rose. Because that's all I really want todo, sweetheart, babe, babe, sugar, sweetheart. [ROSE] What're you doing that for? [WAITER] Your champagne. [MICKEY] We didn't order any champagne. Where's the Doctor? [WAITER] Madam, your champagne. [ROSE] It's not ours. Mickey, what is it? What's wrong? [MICKEY] I need to find out how much you know, so where is he? [WAITER] Doesn't anybody want this champagne? [MICKEY] Look, we didn't order it. [MICKEY] Ah. Gotcha. [DOCTOR] Don't mind me. I'm just toasting the happy couple. On thehouse! [MICKEY] Anyway. [MICKEY] Don't think that's going to stop me. [ROSE] Everyone out! Out now! Get out! Get out! Get out! --------------------------------------- (Outside the restaurant) [ROSE] Open the gate! Use that tube thing. Come on! [DOCTOR] Sonic screwdriver. [ROSE] Use it! [DOCTOR] Nah. Tell you what, let's go in here. [ROSE] You can't hide inside a wooden box. It's going to get us! Doctor! --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [ROSE] It's going to follow us! [DOCTOR] The assembled hordes of Genghis Khan couldn't get through that door,and believe me, they've tried. Now, shut up a minute. [DOCTOR] You see, the arm was too simple, but the head's perfect. I canuse it to trace the signal back to the original source. Right. Where doyou want to start? [ROSE] Er, the inside's bigger than the outside? [DOCTOR] Yes. [ROSE] It's alien. [DOCTOR] Yeah. [ROSE] Are you alien? [DOCTOR] Yes. Is that all right? [ROSE] Yeah. [DOCTOR] It's called the Tardis, this thing. T A R D I S. That's TimeAnd Relative Dimension In Space. [DOCTOR] That's okay. Culture shock. Happens to the best of us. [ROSE] Did they kill him? Mickey? Did they kill Mickey? Is he dead? [DOCTOR] Oh. I didn't think of that. [ROSE] He's my boyfriend. You pulled off his head. They copied him andyou didn't even think? And now you're just going to let him melt? [DOCTOR] Melt? [DOCTOR] Oh, no, no, no, no, no! [ROSE] What're you doing? [DOCTOR] Following the signal. It's fading. Wait a minute, I've got it.No, no, no, no, no, no, no! Almost there. Almost there. Here we go! [ROSE] You can't go out there. It's not safe. --------------------------------------- (Westminster) [DOCTOR] I lost the signal, I got so close. [ROSE] We've moved. Does it fly? [DOCTOR] Disappears there and reappears here. You wouldn't understand. [ROSE] If we're somewhere else, what about that headless thing? It'sstill on the loose. [DOCTOR] It melted with the head. Are you going to witter on all night? [ROSE] I'll have to tell his mother. Mickey. I'll have to tell hismother he's dead, and you just went and forgot him, again! You wereright, you are alien. [DOCTOR] Look, if I did forget some kid called Mickey [ROSE] Yeah, he's not a kid. [DOCTOR] It's because I'm trying to save the life of every stupid apeblundering on top of this planet, all right? [ROSE] All right. [DOCTOR] Yes, it is! [ROSE] If you are an alien, how comes you sound like you're from theNorth? [DOCTOR] Lots of planets have a north. [ROSE] What's a police public call box? [DOCTOR] It's a telephone box from the 1950s. It's a disguise. [ROSE] Okay. And this, this living plastic. What's it got against us? [DOCTOR] Nothing. It loves you. You've got such a good planet. Lots ofsmoke and oil, plenty of toxins and dioxins in the air, perfect. Justwhat the Nestene Consciousness needs. It's food stock was destroyed inthe war, all its protein plants rotted, so Earth, dinner! [ROSE] Any way of stopping it? [DOCTOR] Anti-plastic. [ROSE] Anti-plastic. [DOCTOR] Anti-plastic. But first I've got to find it. How can you hidesomething that big in a city this small? [ROSE] Hold on. Hide what? [DOCTOR] The transmitter. The Consciousness is controlling every singlepiece of plastic, so it needs a transmitter to boost the signal. [ROSE] What's it look like? [DOCTOR] Like a transmitter. Round and massive, slap bang in the middleof London. [DOCTOR] A huge circular metal structure like a dish, like a wheel.Radial. Close to where we're standing. Must be completely invisible.What? What? [DOCTOR] What? What is it? What? [DOCTOR] Oh. Fantastic! --------------------------------------- (South bank) [DOCTOR] Think of it, plastic all over the world, every artificial thingwaiting to come alive. The shop window dummies, the phones, the wires,the cables [ROSE] The breast implants. [DOCTOR] Still, we've found the transmitter. The Consciousness must besomewhere underneath. [ROSE] What about down here? [DOCTOR] Looks good to me. --------------------------------------- (Nestene chamber) [DOCTOR] The Nestene Consciousness. That's it, inside the vat. A livingplastic creature. [ROSE] Well, then. Tip in your anti-plastic and let's go. [DOCTOR] I'm not here to kill it. I've got to give it a chance. [DOCTOR] I seek audience with the Nestene Consciousness under peacefulcontract according to convention 15 of the Shadow Proclamation. [DOCTOR] Thank you. If I might have permission to approach? [ROSE] Oh, God! Mickey, it's me! It's okay. It's all right. [MICKEY] That thing down there, the liquid. Rose, it can talk! [ROSE] You're stinking. Doctor, they kept him alive. [DOCTOR] Yeah, that was always a possibility. Keep him alive to maintainthe copy. [ROSE] You knew that and you never said? [DOCTOR] Can we keep the domestics outside, thank you? [DOCTOR] Am I addressing the Consciousness? Thank you. If I mightobserve, you infiltrated this civilisation by means of warp shunttechnology.

AGerman bomb falls on it, destroys it forever. He never gets to see whathe's paid for, never knows he's been had. I buy him a drink with hisown money, and we discuss dumb luck. The perfect self-cleaning con. [DOCTOR] Yeah. Perfect. [JACK] The London Blitz is great for self-cleaners. Pompeii's nice ifyou want to make a vacation of it though, but you've got to set youralarm for volcano day. Getting a hint of disapproval. [DOCTOR] Take a look around the room. This is what your harmless pieceof space-junk did. [JACK] It was a burnt-out medical transporter. It was empty. [DOCTOR] Rose. [ROSE] Are we getting out of here? [DOCTOR] We're going upstairs.

[ROSE] What, you mean the child can phone us? [CHILD [OC]] And I can hear you. Coming to find you. Coming to find you. --------------------------------------- (Jack's spaceship) [JACK] Doctor, can you hear that? [DOCTOR [OC]] Loud and clear. [JACK] I'll try to block out the signal. Least I can do. --------------------------------------- (Storeroom) [CHILD [OC]] Coming to find you, mummy. --------------------------------------- (Jack's spaceship) [JACK] Remember this one, Rose? --------------------------------------- (Storeroom) [ROSE] Our song. [ROSE] What you doing? [DOCTOR] Trying to set up a resonation pattern in the concrete, loosenthe bars. [ROSE] You don't think he's coming back, do you? [DOCTOR] Wouldn't bet my life. [ROSE] Why don't you trust him? [DOCTOR] Why do you? [ROSE] He saved my life. Bloke-wise, that's up there with flossing. Itrust him because he's like you. Except with dating and dancing. What? [DOCTOR] You just assume I'm [ROSE] What? [DOCTOR] You just assume that I don't dance. [ROSE] What, are you telling me you do dance? [DOCTOR] Nine hundred years old, me. I've been around a bit. I think youcan assume at some point I've danced. [ROSE] You? [DOCTOR] Problem? [ROSE] Doesn't the universe implode or something if you dance? [DOCTOR] Well, I've got the moves but I wouldn't want to boast. [ROSE] You've got the moves? Show me your moves. [DOCTOR] Rose, I'm trying to resonate concrete. [ROSE] Jack'll be back. He'll get us out. So come on. The world doesn'tend because the Doctor dances. [DOCTOR] Barrage balloon? [ROSE] What? [DOCTOR] You were hanging from a barrage balloon. [ROSE] Oh, yeah. About two minutes after you left me. Thousands of feetabove London, middle of a German air-raid, Union Jack all over mychest. [DOCTOR] I've travelled with a lot of people, but you're setting newrecords for jeopardy friendly. [ROSE] Is this you dancing? Because I've got notes. [DOCTOR] Hanging from a rope thousands feet above London. Not a cut, nota bruise. [ROSE] Yeah, I know. Captain Jack fixed me up. [DOCTOR] Oh, we're calling him Captain Jack now, are we? [ROSE] Well, his name's Jack and he's a Captain. [DOCTOR] He's not really a Captain, Rose. [ROSE] Do you know what I think? I think you're experiencing Captainenvy. You'll find your feet at the end of your legs. You may care tomove them. [DOCTOR] If ever he was a Captain, he's been defrocked. [ROSE] Yeah? Shame I missed that. --------------------------------------- (Jack's spaceship) [JACK] Actually, I quit. Nobody takes my frock. Mostpeople notice when they've been teleported. You guys are so sweet.Sorry about the delay. I had to take the nav-com offline to overridethe teleport security. [DOCTOR] You can spend ten minutes overriding your own protocols? Maybeyou should remember whose ship it is. [JACK] Oh, I do. She was gorgeous. Like I told her, be back in fiveminutes. [DOCTOR] This is a Chula ship. [JACK] Yeah, just like that medical transporter. Only this one isdangerous. [ROSE] They're what fixed my hands up Jack called them er [DOCTOR] Nanobots? Nanogenes. [ROSE] Nanogenes, yeah. [DOCTOR] Sub-atomic robots. There's millions of them in here, see?Burned my hand on the console when we landed. All better now. Theyactivate when the bulk head's sealed. Check you out for damage, fix anyphysical flaws. Take us to the crash site. I need to see your spacejunk. [JACK] As soon as I get the nav-com back online. Make yourselfcomfortable. Carry on with whatever it was you were doing. [DOCTOR] We were talking about dancing. [JACK] It didn't look like talking. [ROSE] It didn't feel like dancing. --------------------------------------- (Bomb site) [SOLDIER] Halt! Don't move! --------------------------------------- (Jack's spaceship) [ROSE] So, you used to be a Time Agent now you'retrying to con them? [JACK] If it makes me sound any better, it's not for the money. [ROSE] For what? [JACK] Woke up one day when I was still working for them, found they'dstolen two years of my memories. I'd like them back. [ROSE] They stole your memories? [JACK] Two years of my life. No idea what I did. Your friend over theredoesn't trust me, and for all I know he's right not to. Okay, we'regood to go. Crash site? --------------------------------------- (Bomb site HQ) [ALGY] As you were. Feeling any better? [JENKINS] Just a touch, sir. [ALGY] Chain her up where Jenkins can keep an eye on her. [NANCY] No, not in here. Not with him. [ALGY] You shouldn't have broken in here if you didn't want to stay. [NANCY] You don't understand. Not with him. [ALGY] This is a restricted area, miss. You can just sit here for a bit.We're going to have to ask you a few questions. [SOLDIER] Found these, sir. [ALGY] Very professional. A little bit too professional. Didn't justdrop in by accident then, did you? [NANCY] My little brother died here. I wanted to find out what killedhim. [ALGY] Take the men, check the fence for any other breaches and searchthe area. She may not have come here alone. [SOLDIER] Yes, sir. [NANCY] Please! Listen, you can't leave me here. [ALGY] Watch her, Jenkins. [JENKINS] Yes, Mummy. [ALGY] Jenkins? Sorry, sir. I don't know what's the matter with me. [NANCY] Look, lock me up, fine, but not here. Please, anywhere but here! [JENKINS] You'll be all right, miss. I'm just a little. Just a little,just a little. What's the matter with you? [NANCY] Please, let me go. [JENKINS] Why would I do that? [NANCY] Because you've got a scar on the back of your hand. [JENKINS] Well, yes, but I don't see what that's got to do withanything. [NANCY] And you feel like you're going to be sick, like something'sforcing its way up your throat. I know because I've seen it before. [JENKINS] What's happening to me? [NANCY] In a minute, you won't be you anymore. You won't even rememberyou. And unless you let me go, it'sgoing to happen to me too. Please. [JENKINS] What're you talking about?

[DOCTOR] We've got to get past him. [ROSE] Are the words distract the guard heading in my general direction? [JACK] I don't think that'd be such a good idea. [ROSE] Don't worry I can handle it. [JACK] I've got to know Algy quite well since I've been in town. Trustme, you're not his type. I'll distract him. Don't wait up. [DOCTOR] Relax, he's a fifty first century guy. He's just a bit moreflexible when it comes to dancing. [ROSE] How flexible? [DOCTOR] Well, by his time, you lot have spread out across half thegalaxy. [ROSE] Meaning?

[DOCTOR] Nothing. [JACK] Ah, here they come again. [ROSE] All we need. Didn't you say a bomb was going to land here? [DOCTOR] Never mind about that. If the contaminants airborne now,there's hours left. [JACK] For what? [DOCTOR] Till nothing, forever. For the entire human race. And cananyone else hear singing? [NANCY [OC]] Rock-a-bye baby, on the tree tops. --------------------------------------- (Bomb site HQ) [NANCY] When the wind blows, the cradle will rock. When the boughbreaks, the cradle will fall. Down will come baby, cradle and all. [NANCY] Rock-a-bye baby, on the tree tops. When the wind blows thecradle will rock. --------------------------------------- (Bomb site) [JACK] You see? Just an ambulance. [NANCY] That's an ambulance? [ROSE] It's hard to explain. It's from another world. [JACK] They've been trying to get in. [DOCTOR] Of course they have. They think they've got their hands onHitler's latest secret weapon. What're you doing? [JACK] The sooner you see this thing is empty, the sooner you'll know Ihad nothing to do with it. [JACK] Didn't happen last time. [DOCTOR] It hadn't crashed last time. There'll be emergency protocols. [ROSE] Doctor, what is that? --------------------------------------- (Albion Hospital) [CHILD] Mummy? --------------------------------------- (Bomb site) [ROSE] Doctor! [DOCTOR] Captain, secure those gates! [JACK] Why? [DOCTOR] Just do it! Nancy, how'd you get in here? [NANCY] I cut the wire. [DOCTOR] Show Rose. Setting two thousand four hundred and twenty eightD. [ROSE] What? [DOCTOR] Reattaches barbed wire. Go! --------------------------------------- (Bomb site fence) [NANCY] Who are you? Who are any of you? [ROSE] You'd never believe me if I told you. [NANCY] You just told me that was an ambulance from another world. Thereare people running around with gas mask heads calling for theirmummies, and the sky's full of Germans dropping bombs on me. Tell me,do you think there's anything left I couldn't believe? [ROSE] We're time travellers from the future. [NANCY] Mad, you are. [ROSE] We have a time travel machine. seriously! [NANCY] It's not that. All right, you've got a time travel machine. Ibelieve you. Believe anything, me. But what future? [ROSE] Nancy, this isn't the end. I know how it looks, but it's not theend of the world or anything [NANCY] How can you say that?? Look at it. [ROSE] Listen to me. I was born in this city. I'm from here, in like,fifty years time. [NANCY] From here? [ROSE] I'm a Londoner. From your future. [NANCY] But, but you're not [ROSE] What? [NANCY] German. [ROSE] Nancy, the Germans don't come here. They don't win. Don't tellanyone I told you so, but you know what? You win. [NANCY] We win? [ROSE] Come on! --------------------------------------- (Bomb site) [JACK] It's empty. Look at it. [DOCTOR] What do you expect in a Chula medical transporter? Bandages?Cough drops? Rose? [ROSE] I don't know. [DOCTOR] Yes, you do. [ROSE] Nanogenes! [DOCTOR] It wasn't empty, Captain. There was enough nanogenes in thereto rebuild a species. [JACK] Oh, God. [DOCTOR] Getting it now, are we? When the ship crashes, the nanogenesescape. Billions upon billions of them, ready to fix all the cuts andbruises in the whole world. But what they find first is a dead child,probably killed earlier that night, and wearing a gasmask. [ROSE] And they brought him back to life? They can do that? [DOCTOR] What's life? Life's easy. A quirk of matter. Nature's way ofkeeping meat fresh. Nothing to a nanogene. One problem, though. Thesenanogenes, they're not like the ones on your ship. This lot have neverseen a human being before. Don't know what a human being's supposed tolook like. All they've got to go on is one little body, and there's nota lot left. But they carry right on. They do what they're programmed todo. They patch it up. Can't tell what's gasmask and what's skull, butthey do their best. Then off they fly, off they go, work to be done.Because, you see, now they think they know what people should looklike, and it's time to fix all the rest. And they won't ever stop. Theywon't ever, ever stop. The entire human race is going to be torn downand rebuilt in the form of one terrified child looking for its mother,and nothing in the world can stop it! [JACK] I didn't know. [PATIENTS] Mummy. Mummy. [NANCY] Rose! [ROSE] It's bringing the gas mask people here, isn't it? [DOCTOR] The ship thinks it's under attack. It's calling up the troops.Standard protocol. [ROSE] But the gas mask people aren't troops. [DOCTOR] They are now. This is a battle-field ambulance. The nanogenesdon't just fix you up, they get you ready for the front line. Equipyou, programme you. [ROSE] That's why the child's so strong. Why it could do that phoningthing. [DOCTOR] It's a fully equipped Chula warrior, yes. All that weapons techin the hands of a hysterical four year old looking for his mummy. Andnow there's an army of them. [JACK] Why don't they attack? [DOCTOR] Good little soldiers, waiting for their commander. [JACK] The child? [NANCY] Jamie. [JACK] What? [NANCY] Not the child. Jamie. [ROSE] So how long until the bomb falls? [JACK] Any second. [DOCTOR] What's the matter, Captain? A bit close to the volcano for you? [NANCY] He's just a little boy. [DOCTOR] I know. [NANCY] He's just a little boy who wants his mummy. [DOCTOR] I know. There isn't a little boy born who wouldn't tear theworld apart to save his mummy. And this little boy can. [ROSE] So what're we going to do? [DOCTOR] I don't know. [NANCY] It's my fault. [DOCTOR] No. [NANCY] It is. It's all my fault. [DOCTOR] How can it be your [PATIENTS] Mummy. Mummy. Mummy. Mummy. [DOCTOR] Nancy, what age are you? Twenty? Twenty one? Older than youlook, yes? [JACK] Doctor, that bomb. We've got seconds. [ROSE] You can teleport us out. [JACK] Not you guys. The nav-com's back online. Going to take too longto override the protocols. [DOCTOR] So it's volcano day. Do what you've got to do. [ROSE] Jack? [DOCTOR] How old were you five years ago? Fifteen? Sixteen? Old enoughto give birth, anyway. He's not your brother, is he? A teenage singlemother in 1941. So you hid. You lied. You even lied to him. [CHILD] Are you my mummy? [DOCTOR] He's going to keep asking, Nancy. He's never going to stop. [CHILD] Mummy? [DOCTOR] Tell him. Nancy, the future of the human race is in your hands.Trust me and tell him. [CHILD] Are you my mummy? Are you my mummy? Are you my mummy? [NANCY] Yes. Yes, I am your mummy. [CHILD] Mummy? [NANCY] I'm here. [CHILD] Are you my mummy? [NANCY] I'm here. [CHILD] Are you my mummy? [NANCY] Yes. [CHILD] Are you my mummy? [DOCTOR] He doesn't understand. There's not enough of him left. [NANCY] I am your mummy. I will always be your mummy. I'm so sorry. I amso, so sorry. [ROSE] What's happening? Doctor, it's changing her, we should [DOCTOR] Shush! Come on, please. Come on, you clever little nanogenes.Figure it out! The mother, she's the mother. It's got to be enoughinformation. Figure it out. [ROSE] What's happening? [DOCTOR] See? Recognising the same DNA. [DOCTOR] Oh, come on. Give me a day like this. Give me this one. [DOCTOR] Ha-ha! Welcome back! Twenty years till pop music - you're goingto love it. [NANCY] What happened? [DOCTOR] The nanogenes recognised the superior information, the parentDNA. They didn't change you because you changed them! Ha-ha! Motherknows best! [NANCY] Oh, Jamie. [ROSE] Doctor, that bomb. [DOCTOR] Taken care of it. [ROSE] How? [DOCTOR] Psychology. [JACK] Doctor! [DOCTOR] Good lad! [JACK] The bomb's already commenced detonation. I've put it in stasisbut it won't last long. [DOCTOR] Change of plan. Don't need the bomb. Can you get rid of it,safely as you can? [JACK] Rose? [ROSE] Yeah? [JACK] Goodbye. [JACK] By the way, love the tee-shirt. [ROSE] What are you doing? [DOCTOR] Software patch. Going to email the upgrade. You want moves,Rose? I'll give you moves. [DOCTOR] Everybody lives, Rose. Just this once, everybody lives! [DOCTOR] Doctor Constantine. Who never left his patients. Back on yourfeet, constant doctor. The world doesn'twant to get by without you just yet, and I don't blame it one bit.These are your patients. All better now. [CONSTANTINE] Yes, yes, so it seems. They also seem to be standingaround in a disused railway station. Is there any particular reason forthat? [DOCTOR] Yeah, well, you know, cutbacks. Listen, whatever was wrong withthem in the past, you're probablygoing to find that they're cured. Just tell them what a great doctoryou are. Don't make a big thing of it. Okay? [HARCOURT] Doctor Constantine. [CONSTANTINE] Mrs Harcourt. How much better you're looking. [HARCOURT] My leg's grown back. When I come to the hospital, I had oneleg. [CONSTANTINE] Well, there is a war on. Is it possible you miscounted? [DOCTOR] Right, you lot. Lots to do. Beat the Germans, save the world.Don't forget the welfare state! Setting this to self-destruct, soon aseverybody's clear. History says there was an explosion here. Who am Ito argue with history? [ROSE] Usually the first in line. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] The nanogenes will clean up the mess andswitch themselves off, because I just told them to. Nancy and Jamiewill go to Doctor Constantine for help, ditto. All in all, all thingsconsidered, fantastic! [ROSE] Look at you, beaming away like you're Father Christmas. [DOCTOR] Who says I'm not, red bicycle when you were twelve? [ROSE] What? [DOCTOR] And everybody lives, Rose! Everybody lives! I need more dayslike this. [ROSE] Doctor. [DOCTOR] Go on, ask me anything. I'm on fire. [ROSE] What about Jack? Why'd he say goodbye? --------------------------------------- (Jack's spaceship) [JACK] Okay, computer, how long can we keep the bombin stasis? [COMPUTER] Stasis decaying at ninety percent cycle. Detonation in threeminutes. [JACK] Can we jettison it? [COMPUTER] Any attempt to jettison the device will precipitatedetonation. One hundred percent probability. [JACK] We could stick it in an escape pod. [COMPUTER] There is no escape pod on board. [JACK] I see the flaw in that. I'll get in the escape pod. [COMPUTER] There is no escape pod on board. [JACK] Did you check everywhere? [COMPUTER] Affirmative. [JACK] Under the sink? [COMPUTER] Affirmative. [JACK] Okay. Out of one hundred, exactly how dead am I? [COMPUTER] Termination of Captain Jack Harkness in under two minutes.One hundred percent probability. [JACK] Lovely. Thanks. Good to know the numbers. [COMPUTER] You're welcome. [JACK] Okay then. Think we'd better initiate emergency protocol four oneseven. [COMPUTER] Affirmative. [JACK] Oo, a little too much vermouth. See if I come here again. Funnything. Last time I was sentenced to death, I ordered four hyper-vodkasfor my breakfast. All a bit of a blur after that. Woke up in bed withboth my executioners. Mmm, lovely couple. They stayed in touch. Can'tsay that about most executioners. Anyway. Thanks for everything,computer. It's been great. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [ROSE] Well, hurry up then! [ROSE] Okay. And right and turn. Okay, okay, try and spin me again, butthis time don't get my arm up my back. No extra points for ahalf-nelson. [DOCTOR] I'm sure I used to know this stuff. Close the door, will you?Your ship's about to blow up. There'sgoing to be a draught. [DOCTOR] Welcome to the Tardis. [JACK] Much bigger on the inside. [DOCTOR] You'd better be. [ROSE] I think what the Doctor's trying to say is you may cut in. [DOCTOR] Rose! I've just remembered! [ROSE] What? [DOCTOR] I can dance! I can dance! [ROSE] Actually, Doctor, I thought Jack might like this dance. [DOCTOR] I'm sure he would, Rose. I'm absolutely certain. But who with?

Doctor Who (4 Jun, 2005; Ninth Doctor) - Boom Town (Lord Mayor's office) [CLEAVER] I've checked the figures. I've checked them again and again.Always the same result. The design is not safe. It could result in thedeath of millions. I beg of you, stop the project right now, beforeit's too late. [MARGARET] Well, goodness me. Obviously, Mister Cleaver, you're theexpert. [CLEAVER] Then you'll stop it? [MARGARET] It seems I have no choice. (gurgle) Oh, do excuse me. Civicduties leave little time for a sandwich. [CLEAVER] But you promise you'll stop it, today? [MARGARET] Well, of course. Nothing is more important than human life.What do you take me for, some sort of maniac? [CLEAVER] Why, no. [MARGARET] Am I right in thinking you've shown your results only to me? [CLEAVER] Just to you. No one else. [MARGARET] Wise move. [CLEAVER] I can't tell you, Mrs Blaine. This is such a weight off mymind. I've barely slept. I couldn't believe my own readings. The scaleof it. Destruction like the British Isles has never seen before. If Ididn't know better, I'd almost think that someone wanted this projectto go wrong. As though they intended to wipe this city off the map.Thank goodness we've got you, our esteemed leader. --------------------------------------- (Roald Dahl Plass) [JACK] Who the hell are you? [MICKEY] What do you mean, who the hell am I? Who the hell are you? [JACK] Captain Jack Harkness. Whatever your selling, we're not buying. [MICKEY] Get out of my way! --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [JACK] Don't tell me. This must be Mickey. [DOCTOR] Here comes trouble! How're you doing, Ricky boy? [MICKEY] It's Mickey! [ROSE] Don't listen to him, he's winding you up. [MICKEY] You look fantastic. [JACK] Aw, sweet, look at these two. How come I never get any of that? [DOCTOR] Buy me a drink first. [JACK] You're such hard work. [DOCTOR] But worth it. [ROSE] Did you manage to find it? [MICKEY] There you go. [ROSE] I can go anywhere now. [DOCTOR] I told you, you don't need a passport. [ROSE] It's all very well going to Platform One and Justicia and theGlass Pyramid of San Kaloon, but what if we end up in Brazil? I mightneed it. You see, I'm prepared for anything. [MICKEY] Sounds like your staying, then. So, what're you doing inCardiff? And who the hell's Jumping Jack Flash? I mean, I don't mindyou hanging out with big-ears up there [DOCTOR] Oi! [MICKEY] Look in the mirror. But this guy, I don't know, he's kind of [JACK] Handsome? [MICKEY] More like cheesy. [JACK] Early twenty first Century slang. Is cheesy good or bad? [MICKEY] It's bad. [JACK] But bad means good, isn't that right? [DOCTOR] Are you saying I'm not handsome? [ROSE] We just stopped off. We need to refuel. The thing is, Cardiff'sgot this rift running through the middle of the city. It's invisible,but it's like an earthquake fault between different dimensions. [DOCTOR] The rift was healed back in 1869. [ROSE] Thanks to a girl named Gwyneth, because these creatures calledthe Gelth, they were using the rift as a gateway but she saved theworld and closed it. [JACK] But closing a rift always leaves a scar, and that scar generatesenergy, harmless to the human race [DOCTOR] But perfect for the Tardis, so just park it here for a coupleof days right on top of the scar and [JACK] Open up the engines, soak up the radiation. [ROSE] Like filling her up with petrol and off we go! [JACK] Into time! [DOCTOR + ROSE + JACK] And space! [MICKEY] My God, have you seen yourselves? You all think you're soclever, don't you? [DOCTOR] Yeah. [ROSE] Yeah. [JACK] Yep! --------------------------------------- (Roald Dahl Plass) [DOCTOR] Should take another twenty four hours,which means we've got time to kill. [MICKEY] That old lady's staring. [JACK] Probably wondering what four people could do inside a smallwooden box. [MICKEY] What are you captain of, the Innuendo Squad? [MICKEY] Wait, the Tardis, we can't just leave it. Doesn't it getnoticed? [JACK] Yeah, what's with the police box? Why does it look like that? [ROSE] It's a cloaking device. [DOCTOR] It's called a chameleon circuit. The Tardis is meant todisguise itself wherever it lands, like if this was Ancient Rome, it'dbe a statue on a plinth or something. But I landed in the 1960s, itdisguised itself as a police box, and the circuit got stuck. [MICKEY] So it copied a real thing? There actually was police boxes? [DOCTOR] Yeah, on street corners. Phone for help before they had radiosand mobiles. If they arrested someone, they could shove them insidetill help came, like a little prison cell. [JACK] Why don't you just fix the circuit? [DOCTOR] I like it, don't you? [ROSE] I love it. [MICKEY] But that's what I meant. There's no police boxes anymore, sodoesn't it get noticed? [DOCTOR] Ricky, let me tell you something about the human race. You puta mysterious blue box slap bang in the middle of town, what do they do?Walk past it. Now, stop your nagging. Let's go and explore. [ROSE] What's the plan? [DOCTOR] I don't know. Cardiff, early twenty first century and thewind's coming from the east. Trust me. Safest place in the universe. --------------------------------------- (City hall) [MARGARET] This nuclear power station right in the heart of Cardiff citywill bring jobs for all. As you can see, as Lord Mayor, I've had tosanction some radical redevelopments. No photographs! What did I say?Take pictures of the project by all means, but not me, thank you. So,Cardiff Castle will be demolished allowing the Blaidd Drwg Project torise up, tall and proud. A monument to Welsh industry. And yes, some ofyou might shiver. The words nuclear power station and major populationcentre aren't exactly the happiest of bedfellows. But I give you mypersonal guarantee that as long as I walk upon this Earth, no harm willcome to any of my citizens. Now, drink up. A toast. To the future! [ALL] To the future! [MARGARET] And believe me it will glow. [CATHY] Excuse me, Mrs Blaine? My name's Cathy Salt, I represent theCardiff Gazette. [MARGARET] I'm sorry, I'm not doing interviews. I can't bear selfpublicity. [CATHY] But are you aware of the curse? [MARGARET] Whatever do you mean? Cathy, wasn't it? [CATHY] Cathy Salt. That's what some of your engineers are saying, thatthe Blaidd Drwg Project is cursed. [MARGARET] Sounds rather silly to me. [CATHY] That's what I thought. I was just chasing a bit of local colour.But the funny thing is, when you start piecing it all together, it doesbegin to look a bit odd. [MARGARET] In what way? [CATHY] The deaths, The number of deaths associated with this project.First of all, there was the entire team of the European SafetyInspectors. [MARGARET] But they were French! Its not my fault if Danger Explosiveswas only written in Welsh. [CATHY] And then there was that accident with the Cardiff HeritageCommittee. [MARGARET] The electrocution of that swimming pool was put down tonatural wear and tear. [CATHY] And then the architect? [MARGARET] It was raining, visibility was low. my car simply couldn'tstop. [CATHY] And then just recently, Mister Cleaver, the government's nuclearadviser. [MARGARET] Slipped on an icy patch. [CATHY] He was decapitated. [MARGARET] It was a very icy patch. I'm afraid these stories are nothingmore than typical small town thinking. I really haven't got time. Ifyou'll excuse me. [CATHY] Except, before he died, Mister Cleaver posted some of hisfindings online. [MARGARET] Did he now? [CATHY] If you know where to look. He was concerned about the reactor. [MARGARET] Oh, all that technical stuff! [CATHY] Specifically, that the design of the suppression pool wouldcause the hydrogen recombiners to fail, precipitating in the collapsein the containment isolation system and resulting in a meltdown. [MARGARET] Who's been doing her homework? [CATHY] That's my job. [MARGARET] I think, Cathy Salt, I think you and I should have a word inprivate. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [MARGARET] Oh! My little tum is complaining. I thinkwe might have to make a detour to the ladies. [CATHY] I'll wait here. [MARGARET] Oh, come on. All girls together. --------------------------------------- (Ladies washroom) [MARGARET] So, you were saying. These outlandishtheories of yours? [CATHY] Sounds like we got here just in time. [MARGARET] Continue. [CATHY] Well, I don't know much about nuclear physics, but from what Icould make out, Cleaver was saying that the whole project could go upworse than Chernobyl. [CATHY] Is there something wrong with the lights? [MARGARET] Oh, they're always on the blink. I can't tell you how manymemos I've sent. So, Chernobyl. [CATHY] Apparently, but a thousand times worse. I know it sounds absurd,there must be so many safety regulations. But Cleaver seemed to betalking about a nuclear holocaust. He almost made it sound deliberate.I mean, we're hardly the Sunday Times, we're only the Cardiff Gazette,but we still have a duty to report the facts. [MARGARET] And you're going to print this information? [CATHY] Are you all right? You sound a bit. [MARGARET] Sore throat. Ahem, ahem. Just a little tickle. But tell me,do you intend to make this information public? [CATHY] I have to. [MARGARET] So be it. [CATHY] Mind you, my boyfriend thinks I'm mad. We're getting marriednext month, and he says if I cause a fuss, I could lose my job justwhen we need the money. [MARGARET] Boyfriend? [CATHY] Jeffery. Civil Servant. He's nothing exciting, but he's mine. [MARGARET] When's the wedding? [CATHY] The nineteenth. It's really just to stop my mother from nagging,but the baby sort of clinched it, I suppose. [MARGARET] You're with child? [CATHY] Three months. It's not showing yet. Wasn't planned, it was anaccident. Nice accident, though. [MARGARET] Congratulations. [CATHY] Thank you. How about you? You got any kids? [MARGARET] No. [CATHY] Is there a Mister Blaine? [MARGARET] Not anymore. I'm all on my own. I had quite a sizeablefamily, once upon a time. Wonderful brothers. Oh, they were bold. Butall of them gone now. Maybe you're right. Maybe I'm cursed. [CATHY] No, no, I don't think so. Not really. [MARGARET] You're very kind. If you don't mind, I might be a while. Yourun along. Perhaps we could do this another day. [CATHY] Are you all right? [MARGARET] Fine! [CATHY] Okay, I'll tell you what. I'll leave my details with youroffice. Thanks for talking. [MARGARET] Thank you. --------------------------------------- (Restaurant) [JACK] I swear, six feet tall and with big tusks [DOCTOR] You're lying through your teeth! [ROSE] I'd have gone bonkers! That's the word - bonkers! [JACK] I mean, it turns out the white things are tusks and I mean tusks!And it's woken, and it's not happy. [DOCTOR] How could you not know it was there? [JACK] And we're standing there, fifteen of us, naked [ROSE] Naked?! [JACK] And I'm like, oh, no, no, it's got nothing to do with me. Andthen it roars, and we are running. Oh my God, we are running! AndBrakovitch falls, so I turn to him and I say [MICKEY] I knew we should've turned left! [JACK] That's my line! [ROSE] I don't believe you. I don't believe a word you say ever. That isso brilliant. Did you ever get your clothes back? [JACK] No, I just picked him up went right for the ship, full throttle.Didn't stop until I hit the spacelanes. I was shaking. It wasunbelievable. It freaked me out, and by the time I got fifteen lightyears away I realised I'm like this. [DOCTOR] And I was having such a nice day. --------------------------------------- (City hall foyer) [JACK] According to intelligence, the target is thelast surviving member of the Slitheen family, a criminal sect from theplanet Raxacoricofallapatorious, masquerading as a human being, zippedinside a skin suit. Okay, plan of attack, we assume a basic fifty sevenfifty six strategy, covering all available exits on the ground floor.Doctor, you go face to face. That'll designate Exit One, I'll coverExit Two. Rose, you Exit Three. Mickey Smith, you take Exit Four. Haveyou got that? [DOCTOR] Excuse me. Who's in charge? [JACK] Sorry. Awaiting orders, sir. [DOCTOR] Right, here's the plan. (pause) Like he said. Nice plan.Anything else? [JACK] Present arms. [DOCTOR] Ready. [ROSE] Ready. [MICKEY] Ready. [JACK] Ready. Speed dial? [DOCTOR] Yup. [ROSE] Ready. [MICKEY] Check. [JACK] See you in hell. --------------------------------------- (Outside the Mayor's office) [DOCTOR] Hello, I've come to see the Lord Mayor. [IDRIS] Have you got an appointment? [DOCTOR] No, just an old friend passing by. Bit of a surprise. Can'twait to see her face. [IDRIS] Well, she's just having a cup of tea. [DOCTOR] Just go in there and tell her the Doctor would like to see her. [IDRIS] Doctor who? [DOCTOR] Just the Doctor. Tell her exactly that. The Doctor. [IDRIS] Hang on a tick. [IDRIS] The Lord Mayor says thank you for popping by. She'd love to havea chat, but, er, she's up to her eyes in paperwork. Perhaps if youcould make an appointment for next week? [DOCTOR] She's climbing out of the window, isn't she? [IDRIS] Yes, she is. --------------------------------------- (Lord Mayor's office balcony) [DOCTOR] Slitheen heading north. --------------------------------------- (City hall) [ROSE] On my way. [JACK] Over and out. [MICKEY] Oh my God. --------------------------------------- (Lord Mayor's office balcony) [IDRIS] Leave the Mayor alone! --------------------------------------- (City hall car park) [DOCTOR] Margaret! [JACK] Who's on Exit Four?? [ROSE] That was Mickey! [MICKEY] Here I am. [DOCTOR] Mickey the idiot. [ROSE] Oh, be fair. she's not exactly going to outrun us, is she? [JACK] She's got a teleport! That's cheating! Now we're never going toget her. [ROSE] Oh, the Doctor's very good at teleports. [DOCTOR] I could do this all day. [MARGARET] This is persecution. Why can't you leave me alone? What did Iever do to you? [DOCTOR] You tried to kill me and destroy this entire planet. [MARGARET] Apart from that. --------------------------------------- (City hall) [DOCTOR] So, you're a Slitheen, you're on Earth,you're trapped. Your family get killed but you teleport out just in thenick of time. You have no means of escape. What do you do? You build anuclear power station. But what for? [MARGARET] A philanthropic gesture. I've learnt the error of my ways. [DOCTOR] And it just so happens to be right on top of the rift. [MARGARET] What rift would that be? [JACK] A rift in space and time. If this power station went intomeltdown, the entire planet would go (suck boom)! [DOCTOR] This station is designed to explode the minute it reachescapacity. [ROSE] Didn't anyone notice? Isn't there someone in London checking thissort of stuff? [MARGARET] We're in Cardiff. London doesn't care. The South Wales coastcould fall into the sea and they wouldn't notice. Oh. I sound like aWelshman. God help me, I've gone native. [MICKEY] But why would she do that? A great big explosion, she'd onlyend up killing herself. [MARGARET] She's got a name, you know. [MICKEY] She's not even a she, she's a thing. [DOCTOR] Oh, but she's clever. [DOCTOR] Fantastic. [JACK] Is that a tribophysical waveform macro-kinetic extrapolator? [DOCTOR] Couldn't have put it better myself. [JACK] Oo, genius! You didn't build this? [MARGARET] I have my hobbies. A little tinkering. [JACK] No, no, no. I mean, you really didn't build this. Way beyond you. [MICKEY] I bet she stole it. [MARGARET] It fell into my hands. [ROSE] Is it a weapon? [JACK] It's transport. You see, if the reactor blows, the rift opens.Phenomenal cosmic disaster. But this thing shrouds you in a forcefield.You have this energy bubble, so you're safe. Then you feed itcoordinates, stand on top, and ride the concussion all the way out ofthe solar system. [MICKEY] It's a surfboard. [JACK] A pan-dimensional surfboard, yeah. [MARGARET] And it would've worked. Id have surfed away from this deadend dump and back to civilisation. [MICKEY] You'd blow up a whole planet just to get a lift? [MARGARET] Like stepping on an anthill. [DOCTOR] How'd you think of the name? [MARGARET] What, Blaidd Drwg? It's Welsh. [DOCTOR] I know, but how did you think of it? [MARGARET] I chose it at random, that's all. I don't know. It justsounded good. Does it matter? [DOCTOR] Blaidd Drwg. [ROSE] What's it mean? [DOCTOR] Bad Wolf. [ROSE] But I've heard that before. Bad Wolf. I've heard that lots oftimes. [DOCTOR] Everywhere we go. Two words following us. Bad Wolf. [ROSE] How can they be following us? [DOCTOR] Nah, just a coincidence. Like hearing a word on the radio thenhearing it all day. Never mind. Things to do. Margaret, we're going totake you home. [JACK] Hold on, isn't that the easy option, like letting her go? [ROSE] I don't believe it! We actually get to go to Raxa. Wait a minute!Raxacor [DOCTOR] Raxacoricofallapatorius. [ROSE] Raxacorico [DOCTOR] fallapatorius. [ROSE] Raxacoricofallapatorius. That's it! I did it! [MARGARET] They have the death penalty. The family Slitheen was tried inits absence many years ago and found guilty with no chance of appeal.According to the statutes of government, the moment I return, I am tobe executed. What do you make of that, Doctor? Take me home and youtake me to my death. [DOCTOR] Not my problem. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [MARGARET] This ship is impossible. It's superb. How do you get theoutside around the inside? [DOCTOR] Like I'd give you the secret, yeah. [MARGARET] I almost feel better about being defeated. I never stood achance. This is the technology of the gods. [DOCTOR] Don't worship me - I'd make a very bad god. You wouldn't get aday off, for starters. Jack, how we doing, big fella? [JACK] This extrapolator's top of the range. Where did you get it? [MARGARET] Oh, I don't know. Some airlock sale? [JACK] Must've been a great big heist. It's stacked with power. [DOCTOR] But we can use it for fuel? [JACK] It's not compatible, but it should knock off about twelve hours.We'll be ready to go by morning. [DOCTOR] Then we're stuck here overnight. [MARGARET] I'm in no hurry. [ROSE] We've got a prisoner. The police box is really a police box. [MARGARET] You're not just police, though. Since you're taking me to mydeath, that makes you my executioners. Each and every one of you. [MICKEY] Well, you deserve it. [MARGARET] You're very quick to say so. You're very quick to soak yourhands in my blood, which makes you better than me, how, exactly ? Longnight ahead Let's see who can look me in the eye. --------------------------------------- (Roald Dahl Plass) [ROSE] It's freezing out here! [MICKEY] Better than in there. She does deserve it. She's a Slitheen. Idon't care. It's just weird in that box. [ROSE] I didn't really need my passport. [MICKEY] I've been thinking, you know, we could go have a drink. Have apizza or something. Just you and me. [ROSE] That'd be nice. [MICKEY] And, I mean, if the Tardis can't leave until morning, we couldgo to a hotel, spend the night. I mean, if you want to. I've got somemoney. [ROSE] Okay, yeah. [MICKEY] Is that all right? [ROSE] Yeah. [MICKEY] Cool. There's a couple of bars around here. We should give thema go. Do you have to go and tell him? [ROSE] It's none of his business. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [JACK] So, what's on? [DOCTOR] Nothing, just. [MARGARET] I gather it's not always like this, having to wait. I betyou're always the first to leave, Doctor. Never mind the consequences,off you go. You butchered my family and then ran for the stars, am Iright? But not this time. At last you have consequences. How does itfeel? [DOCTOR] I didn't butcher them. [JACK] Don't answer back. That's what she wants. [DOCTOR] I didn't. What about you? You had an emergency teleport. Youdidn't zap them to safety, did you? [MARGARET] It only carries one. I had to fly without coordinates. Iended up on a skip in the Isle of Dogs. It wasn't funny. [DOCTOR] Sorry. It is a bit funny. [MARGARET] Do I get a last request? [DOCTOR] Depends what it is. [MARGARET] I grew quite fond of my little human life. All those rituals.The brushing of the teeth, and the complicated way they cook things.There's a little restaurant just round the Bay. It became quite afavourite of mine. [DOCTOR] Is that what you want, a last meal? [MARGARET] Don't I have rights? [JACK] Oh, like she's not going to try to escape. [MARGARET] Except I can never escape the Doctor, so where's the danger?I wonder if you could do it? To sit with a creature you're about tokill and take supper. How strong is your stomach? [DOCTOR] Strong enough. [MARGARET] I wonder. I've seen you fight your enemies, now dine withthem. [DOCTOR] You won't change my mind. [MARGARET] Prove it. [DOCTOR] There are people out there. If you slip away just for onesecond, they'll be in danger. [JACK] Except I've got these. [JACK] You both wear one. If she moves more than ten feet away, she getszapped by ten thousand volts. [DOCTOR] Margaret, would you like to come out to dinner? My treat. [MARGARET] Dinner in bondage. Works for me. --------------------------------------- (Bistro 10) [MARGARET] Here we are, out on a date, and youhaven't even asked my proper name. [DOCTOR] It's not a date. What's your name? [MARGARET] Blon. I am Blon Fel Fotch Passameer-Day Slitheen. That's whatit'll say on my death certificate. [DOCTOR] Nice to meet you, Blon. [MARGARET] I'm sure. Look, that's where I was living as Margaret. Nicelittle flat, over there, on the top. Next to the one with the light on. [MARGARET] Two bedrooms, bayside view. I was rather content. Don'tsuppose I'll see it again. [DOCTOR] Suppose not. [MARGARET] Thank you. [DOCTOR] Pleasure. [MARGARET] Tell me then, Doctor. What do you know of our species? [DOCTOR] Only what I've seen. [MARGARET] Did you know, for example, in extreme cases, when her life isin danger, a female Raxacoricofallapatorian can manufacture a poisondart within her own finger. [DOCTOR] Yes, I did. [MARGARET] Just checking. And one more thing. between you and me. [MARGARET] As a final resort, the excess poison can be exhaled throughthe lungs. [DOCTOR] That's better. Now then, what do you think? Mmm, steak looksnice. Steak and chips. --------------------------------------- (Mermaid Quayside) [ROSE] The Doctor took me to this planet a whileback. It was much colder than this. They called it Woman Wept. Theplanet was actually called Woman Wept, because if you looked at it,right, from above, there's like this huge continent, like all curvedround. It sort of looked like a woman, you know, lamenting. Oh my God,and we went to this beach, right. No people, no buildings, just thisbeach like a thousand miles across. And something had happened,something to do with the sun, I don't know, but the sea had justfrozen. In a split second, in the middle of a storm, right, waves andfoam, just frozen, all the way out to the horizon. Midnight, right, wewalk underneath these waves a hundred feet tall, made of ice. [MICKEY] I'm going out with Trisha Delaney. [ROSE] Right. That's nice. Trisha from the shop? [MICKEY] Yeah, Rob Delany's sister. [ROSE] Well, she's nice. She's a bit big. [MICKEY] She lost weight. You've been away. [ROSE] Well, good for you. She's nice. [MICKEY] So, tell us more about this planet, then. [ROSE] That was it, really. --------------------------------------- (Bistro 10) [MARGARET] Public execution's a slow death. Theyprepare a thin acetic acid, lower me into the cauldron and boil me. Theacidity is perfectly gauged to strip away the skin. Internal organsfall out into the liquid, and I become soup. And still alive, stillscreaming. [DOCTOR] I don't make the law. [MARGARET] But you deliver it. Will you stay to watch? [DOCTOR] What else can I do? [MARGARET] The Slitheen family's huge. There's a lot more of us, allscattered off-world. Take me to them. Take me somewhere safe. [DOCTOR] But then you'll just start again. [MARGARET] I promise I won't. [DOCTOR] You've been in that skin suit too long. You've forgotten. Thereused to be a real Margaret Blaine. You killed her and stripped her andused the skin. You're pleading for mercy out of a dead woman's lips. [MARGARET] Perhaps I have got used to it. A human life, an ordinarylife. That's all I'm asking. Give me a chance, Doctor. I can change. [DOCTOR] I don't believe you. --------------------------------------- (Mermaid Quayside) [MICKEY] So, what do you want to do now? [ROSE] Don't mind. [MICKEY] We could ask about hotels. [ROSE] What would Trisha Delaney say? [MICKEY] Suppose. There's a bar down there with a Spanish name orsomething [ROSE] You don't even like Trisha Delaney! [MICKEY] Oh, is that right? What the hell do you know? [ROSE] I know you, And I know her. And I know that's never going tohappen. So who do you think you're kidding? [MICKEY] At least I know where she is! [ROSE] There we are, then. It's got nothing to do with Trisha. This isall about me, isn't it [MICKEY] You left me! We were nice, we were happy. And then what? Yougive me a kiss and you run off with him, and you make me feel likenothing, Rose. I was nothing. I can't even go out with a stupid girlfrom a shop because you pick up the phone and I comes running. I mean,is that what I am, Rose, standby? Am I just supposed to sit here forthe rest of my life, waiting for you? Because I will. [ROSE] I'm sorry. --------------------------------------- (Bistro 10) [MARGARET] I promise you I've changed since we lastmet, Doctor. There was this girl, just today. A young thing, somethingof a danger. She was getting too close. I felt the blood lust rising,just as the family taught me, I was going to kill her without athought. And then I stopped. She's alive somewhere right now. She'swalking around this city because I can change. I did change. I know Ican't prove it [DOCTOR] I believe you. [MARGARET] Then you know I'm capable of better. [DOCTOR] It doesn't mean anything. [MARGARET] I spared her life. [DOCTOR] You let one of them go, but that's nothing new. Every now andthen, a little victim's spared because she smiled, because he's gotfreckles, because they begged. And that's how you live with yourself.That's how you slaughter millions. Because once in a while, on a whim,if the wind's in the right direction, you happen to be kind. [MARGARET] Only a killer would know that. Is that right? From what I'veseen, your funny little happy go lucky little life leaves devastationin its wake. Always moving on because you dare not look back. Playingwith so many peoples lives, you might as well be a god. And you'reright, Doctor. You're absolutely right. Sometimes you let one go. Letme go. --------------------------------------- (Mermaid Quayside) [MICKEY] I'm not asking you to leave him, because Iknow that's not fair. But I just need something, yeah? Some sort ofpromise that when you do come back, you're coming back for me. [ROSE] Is that thunder? [MICKEY] Does it matter? [ROSE] That's not thunder. --------------------------------------- (Bistro 10) [MARGARET] In the family Slitheen, we had no choice.I was made to carry out my first kill at thirteen. If I'd refused, myfather would have fed me to the Venom Grubs. If I'm a killer, it'sbecause I was born to kill. It's all I know. Doctor, are you evenlistening to me? [DOCTOR] Can you hear that? [MARGARET] I'm begging for my life. [DOCTOR] No, listen, shush. --------------------------------------- (Mermaid Quayside) [MICKEY] Oh, go on then, run! It's him again, isn't it? It's the Doctor!It's always the Doctor! It's alwaysgoing to be the Doctor. It's never me! --------------------------------------- (Roald Dahl Plass) [MARGARET] The handcuffs! [DOCTOR] Don't think you're running away. [MARGARET] Oh, I'm sticking with you. Some date this turned out to be! [DOCTOR] It's the rift. The rift's opening! --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] What the hell are you doing?? [JACK] It just went crazy! [DOCTOR] It's the rift. Time and space are ripping apart. The wholecity's going todisappear! [JACK] It's the extrapolator. I've disconnected it but it's stillfeeding off the engine! It's using the Tardis. I can't stop it! [DOCTOR] Never mind Cardiff, it's going to rip open the planet. [ROSE] What is it? What's happening?! [MARGARET] Oh, just little me. [MARGARET] One wrong move and she snaps like a promise. [DOCTOR] I might've known. [MARGARET] I've had you bleating all night, poor baby, now shut it. You,fly boy, put the extrapolator at my feet. [MARGARET] Thank you. Just as I planned. [ROSE] I thought you needed to blow up the nuclear power station. [MARGARET] Failing that, if I were to be arrested, then anyone capableof tracking me down would have considerable technology of their own.Therefore, they would be captivated by the extrapolator. Especially amagpie mind like yours, Doctor. So the extrapolator was programmed togo toplan B. To lock onto the nearest alien power source and open the rift.And what a power source it found. I'm back on schedule, thanks to you. [JACK] The rift's going to convulse. You'll destroy the whole planet. [MARGARET] And you with it! [MARGARET] While I ride this board over the crest of the inferno all theway to freedom. Stand back, boys. Surf's up. [DOCTOR] Of course, opening the rift means you'll pull this ship apart. [MARGARET] So sue me. [DOCTOR] It's not just any old power source. It's the Tardis. My Tardis.The best ship in the universe. [MARGARET] It'll make wonderful scrap. [ROSE] What's that light? [DOCTOR] The heart of the Tardis. This ship's alive. You've opened itssoul. [MARGARET] It's so bright. [DOCTOR] Look at it, Margaret. [MARGARET] Beautiful. [DOCTOR] Look inside, Blon Fel Fotch. Look at the light. [MARGARET] Thank you. [DOCTOR] Don't look. Stay there. Close your eyes! [DOCTOR] Now, Jack, come on, shut it all down. Shut down! Rose, thatpanel over there, turn all the switches to the right. [DOCTOR] Nicely done. Thank you, all. [ROSE] What happened to Margaret? [JACK] Must've got burnt up. Carried out her own death sentence. [DOCTOR] No, I don't think she's dead. [ROSE] Then where'd she go? [DOCTOR] She looked into the heart of the Tardis. Even I don't know howstrong that is. And the ship's telepathic, like I told you, Rose. Getsinside your head. Translates alien languages. Maybe the raw energy cantranslate all sorts of thoughts. [DOCTOR] Here she is. [ROSE] She's an egg? [DOCTOR] Regressed to her childhood. [JACK] She's an egg? [DOCTOR] She can start again. Live her life from scratch. If we take herhome, give her to a different family, tell them to bring her upproperly, she might be all right! [JACK] Or she might be worse. [DOCTOR] That's her choice. [ROSE] She's an egg. [DOCTOR] She's an egg. [ROSE] Oh, my God. Mickey. [DOCTOR] We're all powered up. We can leave. Opening the rift filled usup with energy. We can go, if that's all right. [ROSE] Yeah, fine. [DOCTOR] How's Mickey? [ROSE] He's okay. He's gone. [DOCTOR] Do you want to go and find him? We'll wait. [ROSE] No need. He deserves better. [DOCTOR] Off we go, then. Always moving on [JACK] Next stop, Raxacoricofallapatorius. Now you don't often get tosay that. [DOCTOR] We'll just stop by and pop her in the hatchery. Margaret theSlitheen can live her life again. A second chance. [ROSE] That'd be nice.

[ROSE] Well, yeah, but I can't vote for myself, so it had to be Fitch.I'm sorry, that's the game. That's how it works. I had to vote forsomeone. [FITCH] Let me try again. It was the lights and everything. I couldn'tthink. [ANNE DROID] In fact, with three answers wrong, Broff was the weakestlink in that round, but it's votes that count. [FITCH] I'm sorry. Please.

[STROOD] Disintegrator beam. [LYNDA] She's been evicted. From life. --------------------------------------- (Floor 500) [PAVALE] No one programmed the transmat, no oneselected the new contestants. It is exactly like those stories. [WOMAN] Oh, don't start that again. I think you need to take a sessionoff. [PAVALE] Well, I would, if you'd take it with me. [WOMAN] And don't start that again either. [PAVALE] But the rumours go back decades, saying that something's beenhidden up here. Underneath the transmissions. [WOMAN] But the Controller would know. She watches everything. [PAVALE] Maybe she just can't see it. You've got to allow for humanerror. [WOMAN] Well, that's your problem, then. (sotto) I don't think she'sbeen human for years. [CONTROLLER] Eighteen, nineteen, twenty. Transmit, transmit, transmit. --------------------------------------- (Big Brother House) [DOCTOR] Are you insane? You just step right intothe disintegrator? Is it that important, getting your face on thetelly? Is it worth dying for? [LYNDA] You're talking like we've got a choice! [DOCTOR] But I thought you had to apply. [STROOD] Don't be so stupid. That's how they played it centuries back. [LYNDA] You get chosen whether you like it or not. Everyone on Earth isa potential contestant. The transmat beam picks you out at random. Andit's non stop. There are sixty Big Brother houses running all at once. [DOCTOR] How many? Sixty? [STROOD] They've had to cut back. It's not what it was. [DOCTOR] It's a charnel house! What about the winners? What do they get? [LYNDA] They get to live. [DOCTOR] Is that it? [LYNDA] Well, isn't that enough? [DOCTOR] Rose is out there. She got caught in the transmat. She's acontestant. Time I got out. That other contestant, er, Linda with an I.She was forcibly evicted for what? [LYNDA] Damage to property. [DOCTOR] What, like this? --------------------------------------- (What Not To Wear) [JACK] No, I'm just not getting this. It's just too safe. Too decent.And you'd never keep it clean. [ZU-ZANA] Stage two, ready and waiting. [JACK] Bring it on, girls. [TRINE-E] And now it's time for the face off! [JACK] What does that mean? Do I get to compete with someone else? [TRINE-E] No. Like I said, face off. [ZU-ZANA] I think you'd look good with a dog's head. [TRINE-E] Or maybe no head at all. That would be so outrageous. [ZU-ZANA] And we could stitch your legs to the middle of your chest. [TRINE-E] Nothing is too extreme. It's to die for. [JACK] Now, hold on, ladies. I don't want to have to shoot either one ofyou. [TRINE-E] But you're unarmed! [ZU-ZANA] You're naked! [ZU-ZANA] But. that's a Compact Laser Deluxe! [TRINE-E] Where were you hiding that? [JACK] You really don't want to know. [TRINE-E] Give me that accessory. --------------------------------------- (The Weakest Link) [ANNE DROID] You are the weakest link. Goodbye! [FLOOR MANAGER] Going to the break! Two minutes on the clock. Just areminder we've got solar flare activity coming up in ten. Thanks,everyone. [ROSE] Colleen was clever. She banked all our money. Why'd you vote forher? [RODRICK] Because I want to keep you in. You're stupid! You don't evenknow the Princess Vossaheen's surname. When it comes to the final, Iwant to be up against you, so that you get disintegrated and I get astack load of credits courtesy of the Bad Wolf Corporation. [ROSE] What do you mean? Who's Bad Wolf? [RODRICK] They're in charge. They run the Game Station. [ROSE] Why are they called Bad Wolf? [RODRICK] I don't know. It's just a name. It's like an Old Earth nurseryrhyme sort of thing what does it matter? [ROSE] I keep hearing those words everywhere we go. Bad Wolf. [GWYNETH [memory]] The things you've seen. The darkness. The big badwolf [VAN STATTEN'S HELICOPTER [memory]] Attention all personnel. Bad WolfOne descending. [DOCTOR [memory]] Blaidd Drwg. [ROSE [memory]] What's it mean? [DOCTOR [memory]] Bad Wolf. [ROSE] Different times. different places, like it's written all over theUniverse. [RODRICK] What're you going on about? [ROSE] If the Bad Wolf is in charge of this quiz, then maybe I'm nothere by mistake. Someone's been planning this. --------------------------------------- (Big Brother House) [DAVINA [OC]] The Doctor, you've broken the HouseRules. Big Brother has no choice but to evict you. You have ten secondsto make your farewells, and then we're going to get you! [DOCTOR] That's more like it. Come on, then. Open up! [LYNDA] You're mad! It's like you want to die. [STROOD] I reckon he's a plant. He was only brought in to stir thingsup. [DAVINA [OC]] The Doctor, please leave the Big Brother house. [DOCTOR [on monitor]] Come on then, disintegrate me! Come on, what'reyou waiting for? [LYNDA] He is, he's mad. He's bonkers. --------------------------------------- (Floor 500) [DOCTOR [on monitor]] Disintegrate me. What are youwaiting for? [WOMAN] I told you to keep an eye on him, not kill him. [PAVALE] He damaged the property. It's an automatic process. --------------------------------------- (Big Brother House) [DAVINA [OC]] Eviction in five, four, three, two,one. [DOCTOR [on monitor]] Ah, ha! I knew it! You see, someone brought meinto this game. If they'd wanted me dead, they could've transmatted meinto a volcano. --------------------------------------- (Floor 500) [WOMAN] What did you do? [PAVALE] Nothing! [DOCTOR [on monitor]] They want me alive. [PAVALE] It's like some sort of override. [DOCTOR [on monitor]] Maybe security isn't as tight this end. Are youfollowing this? I'm getting out! --------------------------------------- (Big Brother House) [DOCTOR] Come with me. [STROOD] We're not allowed! [DOCTOR] Stay in there, you've got a fifty fifty chance ofdisintegration. Stay with me, I promise I'll get you out alive. Comeon! [LYNDA] No, I can't. I can't. [DOCTOR] Lynda, you're sweet. From what I've seen of your world, do youthink anyone votes for sweet? --------------------------------------- (Floor 56) [DOCTOR] Hold on. I've been here before. This isSatellite Five. No guards. That makes a change. You'd think a bigbusiness like Satellite Five would be armed to the teeth. [LYNDA] No one's called it Satellite Five in ages. It's the Game Stationnow. Hasn't been Satellite Five in about a hundred years. [DOCTOR] A hundred years exactly. It's the year two zero zero one zerozero. I was here before, Floor one three nine. The Satellite wasbroadcasting news channels back then. Had a bit of trouble upstairs.Nothing too serious. Easy. Gave them a hand, home in time for tea. [LYNDA] A hundred years ago? What, you were here a hundred years ago? [DOCTOR] Yep! [LYNDA] You're looking good on it. [DOCTOR] I moisturise. Funny sorts of readings. All kinds of energy. Theplace is humming. It's weird. This goes way beyond normaltransmissions. What would they need all that power for? [LYNDA] I don't know. I think we're the first ever contestants to getoutside. [DOCTOR] I had two friends travelling with me. They must've got caughtin the same transmat. Where would they be? [LYNDA] I don't know. They could've been allocated anywhere. There's ahundred different games. [DOCTOR] Like what? [LYNDA] Well, there's ten floors of Big Brother. There's a differentHouse behind each of those doors. And then beyond that, there's allsorts of shows. It's non stop. There's Call My Bluff, with real guns.Countdown, where you've got thirty seconds to stop the bomb going off.Ground Force, which is a nasty one. You get turned into compost. Er,Wipeout, speaks for itself. Oh, and Stars In Their Eyes. Literally,stars in their eyes. If you don't sing, you get blinded. [DOCTOR] And you watch this stuff? [LYNDA] Everyone does. How come you don't? [DOCTOR] Never paid for my licence. [LYNDA] Oh, my God! You get executed for that. [DOCTOR] Let them try. [LYNDA] You keep saying things that don't make sense. Who are youthough, Doctor, really? [DOCTOR] It doesn't matter. [LYNDA] Well, it does to me. I've just put my life in your hands. [DOCTOR] I'm just a traveller, wandering past. Believe it or not, allI'm after is a quiet life. [LYNDA] So, if we get out of here, what're you going to do? Just wanderoff again? [DOCTOR] Fast as I can. [LYNDA] So, I could come with you? [DOCTOR] Maybe you could. [LYNDA] I wouldn't get in the way. [DOCTOR] I wouldn't mind if you did. Not a bad idea, Lynda with a Y. Butfirst of all, we'vegot to concentrate on the getting out. And to do that, you've got toknow your enemy. Who's controlling it? Who's in charge of the satellitenow? [LYNDA] Hold on. [LYNDA] Your lords and masters. --------------------------------------- (Floor 500) [PAVALE] Okay, you win. The Controller's got to handle this. Archivemakes a record of all transmat activities. Find out how they got onboard. Archive Six. Controller, we have a problem. [CONTROLLER] Continue working. [PAVALE] We have a security problem. [CONTROLLER] Continue working. [PAVALE] I'm sorry, but I can't. We have contestants outside of thegames, but the alarms haven't gone off. [CONTROLLER] No security. The games continue. [PAVALE] But we can't just let them wander. [CONTROLLER] They are no one. They are no one. [WOMAN] I'm sorry. I was just [CONTROLLER] Archive Six is out of bounds. [WOMAN] But I need to check the transmat log. [CONTROLLER] Archive Six is out of bounds. No one may enter Archive Six.Return to work. Return to work. Inform all staff, solar flares in deltapoint seven. Nineteen, twenty. --------------------------------------- (What Not To Wear) [JACK] Compatible systems. Just align the wave signature. Attaboy! Gotmyself a gun. Well, ladies, the pleasure was all mine. Which is theonly thing that matters in the end. --------------------------------------- (Floor 299) [JACK] Two hearts, that's him. Which floor? --------------------------------------- (Observation deck) [LYNDA] Blimey! I've never seen it for real before.Not from orbit. Planet Earth. [DOCTOR] What's happened to it? [LYNDA] Well, it's always been like that Ever since I was born. See thatthere? That's the Great Atlantic Smog Storm. It's been going twentyyears. We get newsflashes telling us when it's safe to breath outside. [DOCTOR] So the population just sits there? Half the world's too fat,and half the world's too thin, and you lot just watch telly? [LYNDA] Ten thousand channels, all beaming down from here. [DOCTOR] The Human Race. Brainless sheep being fed on a diet of. Mindyou, have they still got that programme where three people have to livewith a bear? [LYNDA] Oh, Bear With Me. I love that one! [DOCTOR] And me. The celebrity edition where the bear got in the bath. [LYNDA] Got in the bath! [DOCTOR] But it's all gone wrong. I mean, history's gone wrong again.This should be the Fourth Great and Bountiful Human Empire. I don'tunderstand. Last time I was here I put it right. [LYNDA] No, but that's when it first went wrong. A hundred years ago,like you said. All the news channels, they just shut down overnight. [DOCTOR] But that was me. I did that. [LYNDA] There was nothing left in their place. No information. The wholeplanet just froze. The government, the economy, they collapsed. Thatwas the start of it. One hundred years of hell. [DOCTOR] Oh, my. I made this world. --------------------------------------- (The Weakest Link) [ANNE DROID] That leaves Rose and Rodrick. You're going head to head.Let's play The Weakest Link. [RODRICK] Right, that's the end of tactical voting. You're on your ownnow. --------------------------------------- (Observation deck) [JACK [OC]] Hey, handsome. Good to see you? Any signof Rose? [DOCTOR] Can't you track her down? [JACK] She must still be inside the games. All the rooms are shielded. [DOCTOR] If I can just get inside this computer. She's got to be heresomewhere. [JACK] Well, you'd better hurry up. These games don't have a happyending. [DOCTOR] Do you think I don't know that? [JACK] There you go, patch that in. It's programmed to find her. [DOCTOR] Thanks. [JACK] Hey, there. [LYNDA] Hello. [JACK] Captain Jack Harkness. [LYNDA] Lynda Moss. [JACK] Nice to meet you, Lynda Moss. [DOCTOR] Do you mind flirting outside? [JACK] I was just saying hello! [DOCTOR] For you, that's flirting. [LYNDA] I'm not complaining. [JACK] Muchas gracias. [DOCTOR] It's not compatible. This stupid system doesn't make sense. [DOCTOR] This place should be a basic broadcaster, but the systems aretwice as complicated. It's more than just television. This station'stransmitting something else. [JACK] Like what? [DOCTOR] I don't know. This whole Bad Wolf thing's tied up with me.Someone's manipulated myentire life. It's some sort of trap and Rose is stuck inside it. --------------------------------------- (The Weakest Link) [ANNE DROID] Rose, in geography, the Grand CentralRavine is named after which ancient British city?

Your stupid freaking game show killed her. [GUARD] Sir, I'm arresting you under Private Legislation Sixteen of theGame Station Syndicate. --------------------------------------- (Prison cell) [GUARD] Can you tell us the purpose of this device,sir? Can you tell us how you got on board? [LYNDA] Just leave him alone. [GUARD] I'm asking him. Sir? Can you tell us who you are? [GUARD] You will be taken from this place to the Lunar Penal Colony,there to be held without trial. You may not appeal against thissentence. Is that understood? [DOCTOR] Let's do it. (Jack leads the fight out. The two guards areknocked out and Jack reclaims his Defabricator while the Doctorretrieves his sonic screwdriver. Lynda takes the guard's weapons.) --------------------------------------- (Floor 500) [PAVALE] Oh, my God. Now we're in trouble. --------------------------------------- (Lift) [DOCTOR] Floor 500. --------------------------------------- (Floor 500) [PAVALE] Clear the floor. He's on his way up here with a gun! [WOMAN] This is an emergency! You've got to close the lift! [CONTROLLER] All staff are reminded that solar flares commence in deltapoint two. [PAVALE] Never mind solar flares, he's going to kill you! [JACK] Okay, move away from the desk! Nobody try anything clever.Everybody clear. Stand to the side and stay there. [DOCTOR] Who's in charge of this place? [CONTROLLER] Nineteen, eighteen. [DOCTOR] This Satellite's more than a Game Station. [CONTROLLER] Seventy nine, eighty. [DOCTOR] Who killed Rose Tyler? [CONTROLLER] All staff are reminded that solar flares [DOCTOR] I want an answer! [CONTROLLER] Occur in delta point one. [PAVALE] She can't reply. Don't shoot! [DOCTOR] nan [DOCTOR] Captain, we've got more guards on the way up. Secure the exits. [JACK] Yes, sir. [DOCTOR] You. What were you saying? [PAVALE] But I've got your gun. [DOCTOR] Okay, so shoot me. Why can't she answer? [PAVALE] She's er. Can I put this down? [DOCTOR] If you want. Just hurry up. [PAVALE] Thanks. Sorry. The Controller is linked to the transmissions.The entire output goes through her brain. You're not a member of staffso she doesn't recognise your existence. [DOCTOR] What's her name? [PAVALE] I don't know. She was installed when she was five years old.That's the only life she's ever known. [JACK] Door's sealed. We should be safe for about ten minutes. [DOCTOR] Keep an eye on them. [PAVALE] But that stuff you were saying about something going on withthe Game Station. I think you're right. I've kept a log. Unauthorisedtransmats, encrypted signals, it's been going on for years. [DOCTOR] Show me. [WOMAN] You're not allowed in there. Archive Six is out of bounds. [JACK] Do I look like an out of bounds sort of guy? --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [JACK] What the hell? --------------------------------------- (Floor 500) [CONTROLLER] Solar flare activity in delta pointzero fifteen. [WOMAN] If you're not holding us hostage, then open the door and let usout. The staff are terrified. [DOCTOR] That's the same staff who execute hundreds of contestants everyday. [WOMAN] That's not our fault. We're just doing our jobs. [DOCTOR] And with that sentence you just lost the right to even talk tome. Now back off! [PAVALE] That's just the solar flares. They interfere with the broadcastsignal, so this place automatically powers down. Planet Earth gets afew repeats. It's all quite normal. [CONTROLLER] Doctor. [WOMAN] Doctor? [DOCTOR] Whatever it is, you can wait. [WOMAN] I think she wants you. [CONTROLLER] Doctor? Doctor? Where's the Doctor? [DOCTOR] I'm here. [CONTROLLER] Can't see. I'm blind. So blind. All my life, blind. All Ican see is numbers, but I saw you. [DOCTOR] What do you want? [CONTROLLER] Solar flares hiding me. They can't hear me. My masters,they always listen but they can't hear me now the sun, the sun is sobright. [DOCTOR] Who are your masters? [CONTROLLER] They wired my head. The name's forbidden. They control mythoughts. My masters. My masters, I had to be careful. They monitortransmissions but they don't watch the programmes. I could hide youinside the games. Knew that you would find me. [DOCTOR] My friend died inside your games. [CONTROLLER] Doesn't matter. [DOCTOR] Don't you dare tell me that. [CONTROLLER] They've been hiding. My masters hiding in the dark space,watching and shaping the Earth so, so, so many years. Always beenthere, guiding humanity, hundreds and hundred of years. [DOCTOR] Who are they? [CONTROLLER] They wait and plan and grow in numbers. They're strong now.So strong, my masters. [DOCTOR] Who are they? [CONTROLLER] But speak of you, my masters, they fear the Doctor. [DOCTOR] Tell me, who are they? [CONTROLLER] Twenty one, twenty two. [DOCTOR] When's the next solar flare? [PAVALE] Two years time. [DOCTOR] Fat lot of good that is. [JACK] Found the Tardis. [DOCTOR] We're not leaving now. [JACK] No, but the Tardis worked it out. You'll want to watch this.Lynda, could you stand over there for me please? [LYNDA] I just want to go home. [JACK] It'll only take a second. Could you stand in that spot, quick asyou can. Everybody watching? Okay. three, two, one. [DOCTOR] But you killed her! [JACK] Oh, do you think? [LYNDA] What the hell was that? [JACK] It's a transmat beam. Not a disintegrator, a secondary transmatsystem. People don't get killed in the games. they get transportedacross space. Doctor, Rose is still alive! --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [ROSE] No, it can't be. You're dead. I saw you die! --------------------------------------- (Floor 500) [DOCTOR] She's out there somewhere. [CONTROLLER] Doctor. Coordinates five point six point one [DOCTOR] Don't, the solar flare's gone. They'll hear you. [CONTROLLER] Point four three four. No, my masters, no! I defy you!Stigma seven seven [DOCTOR] They took her. --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [CONTROLLER] Oh, my masters, you can kill me, for Ihave brought your destruction. --------------------------------------- (Floor 500) [PAVALE] Look, use that. It might contain the finalnumbers. I kept a log of all the unscheduled transmissions. [JACK] Nice, Thanks. Captain Jack Harkness, by the way. [PAVALE] I'm Davitch Pavale. [JACK] Nice to meet you, Davitch Pavale. [DOCTOR] There's a time and a place. [WOMAN] Are you saying this entire set up's been a disguise all along? [DOCTOR] Going way back. Installing the Jagrafess a hundred years ago.Someone's been playing a long game, controlling the human race frombehind the scenes for generations. [JACK] Click on this. The transmat delivers to that point, right on theedge of the solar system. [WOMAN] There's nothing there. [DOCTOR] It looks like nothing because that's what this satellite does.Underneath the transmission there's another signal. [PAVALE] Doing what? [DOCTOR] Hiding whatever's out there. Hiding it from sonar, radar,scanner. There's something sitting right on top of planet Earth, butit's completely invisible. If I cancel the signal [JACK] That's impossible. I know those ships. They were destroyed. [DOCTOR] Obviously, they survived. [LYNDA] Who did? Who are they? [DOCTOR] Two hundred ships. More than two thousand on board each one.That's just about half a million of them. [PAVALE] Half a million what? [DOCTOR] Daleks. --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [DALEK 2] Alert. Alert. We are detected. [DALEK] It is the Doctor. He has located us. Open communicationschannel. [DALEK 2] The female will stand. Stand! --------------------------------------- (Floor 500) [DALEK [on viewscreen]] I will talk to the Doctor. [DOCTOR] Oh, will you? That's nice. Hello! [DALEK [on viewscreen]] The Dalek stratagem nears completion. The fleetis almost ready. You will not intervene. [DOCTOR] Oh, really? Why's that, then? --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [DALEK] We have your associate. --------------------------------------- (Floor 500) [DALEK [on viewscreen]] You will obey or --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [DALEK] She will be exterminated. --------------------------------------- (Floor 500) [DOCTOR] No. [DALEK [on viewscreen]] Explain yourself. [DOCTOR] I said no. [DALEK [on viewscreen]] What is the meaning of this negative? [DOCTOR] It means no. --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [DALEK] But she will be destroyed. [DOCTOR [on viewscreen]] No! --------------------------------------- (Floor 500) [DOCTOR] Because this is what I'm going to do. I'mgoing to rescue her. --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [DOCTOR [on viewscreen]] I'm going to save RoseTyler from the middle of the Dalek fleet --------------------------------------- (Floor 500) [DOCTOR] And then I'm going to save the Earth, andthen, just to finish off, I'm going towipe every last stinking Dalek out of the sky! --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [DALEK] But you have no weapons, no defences, noplan. --------------------------------------- (Floor 500) [DOCTOR] Yeah. And doesn't that scare you to death.Rose? --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [ROSE] Yes, Doctor? [DOCTOR [on viewscreen]] I'm coming to get you. [DALEK] The Doctor is initiating hostile action. [DALEK 2] The stratagem must advance. Begin the invasion of Earth! [DALEK 3] The Doctor will be exterminated! [DALEKS] Exterminate! Exterminate! Exterminate! Exterminate! Exterminate!

Doctor Who (18 Jun, 2005; Ninth Doctor) - The Parting of the Ways [DALEK] You know the Doctor. You understand him. Youwill predict his actions. [ROSE] I don't know! And even if I did, I wouldn't tell you. [DALEK] Predict! Predict! Predict! [DALEK 2] Tardis detected in flight. [DALEK] Launch missiles. Exterminate. [ROSE] You can't! The Tardis hasn't got any defences. You're going tokill him. [DALEK] You have predicted correctly. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [JACK] We've got incoming! [JACK] The extrapolator's working. We've got a fully functionalforcefield. Try saying that when you're drunk. [DOCTOR] And for my next trick. [DOCTOR] Rose, get down! Get down, Rose! [DALEK] Exterminate! [ROSE] You did it. [ROSE] Feels like I haven't seem you in years. [DOCTOR] I told you I'd come and get you. [ROSE] Never doubted it. [DOCTOR] I did. You all right? [ROSE] Yeah. You? [DOCTOR] Not bad, been better. [JACK] Hey, don't I get a hug? [ROSE] Oh, come here! [JACK] I was talking to him. [JACK] Welcome home. [ROSE] Oh, I thought I'd never see you again. [JACK] Oh, you were lucky. That was just a one shot wonder. Drained thegun of all its power supply. Now it's just a piece of junk. --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [EMPEROR [OC]] Patience, my brethren. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [ROSE] You said they were extinct. How comes they'restill alive? [JACK] One minute they're the greatest threat in the Universe, the nextminute they vanished out of time and space. [DOCTOR] They went off to fight a bigger war. The Time War [JACK] I thought that was just a legend. [DOCTOR] I was there. The war between the Daleks and the Time Lords,with the whole of creation at stake. My people were destroyed, but theytook the Daleks with them. I almost thought it was worth it. Now itturns out they died for nothing. [ROSE] There's thousands of them now. We could hardly stop one. What'rewe going to do? [DOCTOR] No good stood round here chin wagging. Human race, you'd gossipall day. The Daleks have got the answers. Let's go and meet theneighbours. [ROSE] You can't go out there! --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [DALEKS] Exterminate! Exterminate! Exterminate! [DOCTOR] Is that it? Useless! Nul points. It's all right, come on out.That forcefield can hold back anything. [JACK] Almost anything. [DOCTOR] Yes, but I wasn't going to tell them that. Thanks. [JACK] Sorry. [DOCTOR] Do you know what they call me in the ancient legends of theDalek Homeworld? The Oncoming Storm. You might've removed all youremotions but I reckon right down deep in your DNA, there's one littlespark left, and that's fear. Doesn't it just burn when you face me? Sotell me. How did you survive the Time War? [EMPEROR [OC]] They survived through me. [DOCTOR] Rose, Captain, this is the Emperor of the Daleks. [EMPEROR] You destroyed us, Doctor. The Dalek race died in your inferno,but my ship survived, falling through time, crippled but alive. [DOCTOR] I get it. [DALEK] Do not interrupt. [DALEK 2] Do not interrupt. [DALEK 3] Do not interrupt. [DOCTOR] I think you're forgetting something. I'm the Doctor, and ifthere's one thing I can do, it's talk. I've got five billion languages,and you haven't got one way of stopping me. So if anybody's going toshut up, it's you! Okey doke. So, where were we? [EMPEROR] We waited here in the dark space, damaged but rebuilding.Centuries passed, and we quietly infiltrated the systems of Earth,harvesting the waste of humanity. The prisoners, the refugees, thedispossessed. They all came to us. The bodies were filtered, pulped,sifted. The seed of the human race is perverted. Only one cell in abillion was fit to be nurtured. [DOCTOR] So you created an army of Daleks out of the dead. [ROSE] That makes them half human. [EMPEROR] Those words are blasphemy. [DALEK] Do not blaspheme. [DALEK 2] Do not blaspheme. [DALEK 3] Do not blaspheme. [EMPEROR] Everything human has been purged. I cultivated pure andblessed Dalek. [DOCTOR] Since when did the Daleks have a concept of blasphemy? [EMPEROR] I reached into the dirt and made new life. I am the God of allDaleks! [DALEKS] Worship him. Worship him. Worship him. [DOCTOR] They're insane. Hiding in silence for hundreds of years, that'senough to drive anyone mad. But it's worse than that. Driven mad byyour own flesh. The stink of humanity. You hate your own existence. Andthat makes them more deadly than ever. We're going. [EMPEROR] You may not leave my presence. [DALEK] Stay where you are. [DALEKS] Exterminate! [DALEKS] Exterminate! Exterminate! --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DALEKS [OC]] Exterminate! Exterminate! Worship him!You will be exterminated! --------------------------------------- (Floor 500) [DOCTOR] Turn everything up. All transmitters full power, wide open.Now! Do it! [PAVALE] What does this do? [DOCTOR] Stops the Daleks from transmatting on board. How did you geton? Did you contact Earth? [PAVALE] Well, we tried to warn them, but all they did was suspend ourlicense because we stopped the programmes. [DOCTOR] And the planet's just sitting there, defenceless. Lynda,what're you still doing on board? I told you to evacuate everyone. [PAVALE] She wouldn't go. [LYNDA] Didn't want to leave you. [WOMAN] There weren't enough shuttles anyway, or I wouldn't be here.We've got about a hundred people stranded on Floor Zero. --------------------------------------- (Floor Zero) [RODRICK] Listen, listen. My name's Rodrick. I wonthe game! Where's my money? Is anyone listening? Where's my money?! --------------------------------------- (Floor 500) [PAVALE] Oh, my God. The Fleet is moving. They're ontheir way. --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [EMPEROR] Purify the Earth with fire. The planetwill become my temple and we shall rise. This will be our paradise. --------------------------------------- (Floor 500) [DOCTOR] Dalek plan. Big mistake, because what have they left me with?Anyone? Anyone? Oh, come on, it's obvious. A great big transmitter.This station. If I can change the signal, fold it back, sequence it,anyone? [JACK] You've got to be kidding. [DOCTOR] Give the man a medal. [JACK] A Delta Wave? [DOCTOR] A Delta Wave! [ROSE] What's a Delta Wave? [JACK] A wave of Van Cassadyne energy. It fries your brain. Stand in theway of a Delta Wave and your head gets barbequed. [DOCTOR] And this place can transmit a massive wave. Wipe out theDaleks! [LYNDA] Well, get started and do it then. [DOCTOR] Trouble is, wave this size, building this big, brain as cleveras mine, should take about, oh, three days? How long till the Fleetarrive? [PAVALE] Twenty two minutes. [JACK] We've now got a forcefield so they can't blast us out of the sky,but that doesn't stop the Daleks from physically invading. [PAVALE] Do they know about the Delta Wave? [JACK] They'll have worked it out at the same time. So, they want tostop the Doctor. That means they've got to get to this level, fivehundred. Now, I can concentrate the extrapolator around the top sixlevels, five hundred to four nine five. So they'll penetrate thestation below that at level four nine four and fight their way up. [PAVALE] Who are they fighting? [JACK] Us. [PAVALE] And what are we fighting with? [JACK] The guards had guns with bastic bullets. That's enough to blow aDalek wide open. [WOMAN] There's five of us. [DOCTOR] Rose, you can help me. I need all these wires stripping bare. [WOMAN] Right, now there's four of us. [JACK] Then let's move it. Into the lift. Isolate the lift controls. [LYNDA] I just want to say, er, thanks, I suppose, and I'll do my best. [DOCTOR] Me too. [JACK] It's been fun, but I guess this is goodbye. [ROSE] Don't talk like that. The Doctor's going to do it. You just watchhim. [JACK] Rose, you are worth fighting for. (kisses her) Wish I'd never metyou, Doctor. I was much better off as a coward. [JACK] See you in hell. [ROSE] He's going to be all right, isn't he? --------------------------------------- (Floor Zero) [JACK] One last time! Any more volunteers? There's an army about toinvade this station. I need every last citizen to mount a defence. [RODRICK] Don't listen to him. There aren't any Daleks. They disappearedthousands of years ago. [JACK] Thanks. As for the rest of you, the Daleks will enter the stationat floor four nine four and as far as I can tell, they'll head up, notdown. But that's not a promise. So here's a few words of advice. Keepquiet. And if you hear fighting up above, if you hear us dying, thentell me that the Daleks aren't real. Don't make a sound. Let's go. --------------------------------------- (Floor 500) [ROSE] Suppose. [DOCTOR] What? [ROSE] Nothing. [DOCTOR] You said suppose. [ROSE] No, I was just thinking. I mean, obviously you can't, but, you'vegot a time machine. Why can't you just go back to last week and warnthem? [DOCTOR] As soon as the Tardis lands in that second, I become part ofevents, stuck in the timeline. [ROSE] Yeah, thought it'd be something like that [DOCTOR] There's another thing the Tardis could do. It could take usaway. We could leave. Let history take its course. We go to Marbella in1989. [ROSE] Yeah, but you'd never do that. [DOCTOR] No, but you could ask. Never even occurred to you, did it? [ROSE] Well, I'm just too good. [DOCTOR] The Delta Wave's started building. How long does it need? [ROSE] Is that bad? Okay, it's bad. How bad is it? [DOCTOR] Rose Tyler, you're a genius! We can do it. If I use the Tardisto cross my old timeline. Yes! --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] Hold that down and keep position. [ROSE] What's it do? [DOCTOR] Cancels the buffers. If I'm very clever and I'm more thanclever, I'm brilliant, I might just save the world. Or rip it apart [ROSE] I'd go for the first one. [DOCTOR] Me too. Now, I've just got to go and power up the Game Station.Hold on! [ROSE] Doctor, what're you doing? Can I take my hand off? It's moving. [ROSE] Doctor, let me out! --------------------------------------- (Floor 500) [ROSE [OC]] Let me out! Doctor, what've you done? --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [HOLO-DOCTOR] This is Emergency Programme One. Rose, now listen, this isimportant. If this message is activated, then it can only mean onething. We must be in danger. And I mean fatal. I'm dead or about to dieany second with no chance of escape. [ROSE] No! [DOCTOR] And that's okay. Hope it's a good death. But I promised to lookafter you, and that's what I'm doing. The Tardis is taking you home. [ROSE] I won't let you. [HOLO-DOCTOR] And I bet you're fussing and moaning now. Typical. Buthold on and just listen a bit more. The Tardis can never return for me.Emergency Programme One means I'm facing an enemy that should never gettheir hands on this machine. So this is what you should do. Let theTardis die. Just let this old box gather dust. No one can open it. Noone'll even notice it. Let it become a strange little thing standing ona street corner. And over the years, the world'll move on and the boxwill be buried. And if you want to remember me, then you can do onething. That's all, one thing. Have a good life. Do that for me, Rose.Have a fantastic life. [ROSE] You can't do this to me. You can't. Take me back! Take me back!No! [ROSE] Come on, fly. How do you fly? Come on, help me! --------------------------------------- (Powell Estate) [MICKEY] I knew it! I was all the way down Clifton Parade, and I heardthe engines. I thought, there's only one thing that makes a noise likethat. What is it? --------------------------------------- (Floor 494) [JACK] Rose, I've called up the internal lasercodes. --------------------------------------- (Floor 500) [JACK [OC]] There should be a different number onevery screen. Can you read them out to me? [DOCTOR] She's not here. --------------------------------------- (Floor 494) [JACK] Of all the times to take a leak. --------------------------------------- (Floor 500) [JACK [on viewscreen]] When she gets back, tell herto read me the codes. [DOCTOR] She's not coming back. --------------------------------------- (Floor 494) [JACK] What do you mean? Where'd she go? --------------------------------------- (Floor 500) [DOCTOR] Just get on with your work. [JACK [on viewscreen]] You took her home, didn't you? [DOCTOR] Yeah. --------------------------------------- (Floor 494) [JACK] The Delta Wave. --------------------------------------- (Floor 500) [JACK [OC]] Is it ever going to be ready? [EMPEROR [on viewscreen]] Tell him the truth, Doctor. There is everypossibility the Delta Wave could be complete, but no possibility ofrefining it. The Delta Wave must kill every living thing in its path,with no distinction between human and Dalek. --------------------------------------- (Floor 494) [EMPEROR [OC]] All things will die --------------------------------------- (Floor 500) [EMPEROR [on viewscreen]] By your hand. [JACK [on viewscreen]] Doctor, the range of this transmitter covers theentire Earth. [EMPEROR [on viewscreen]] You would destroy Daleks and Humans together.If I am God, the creator of all things, then what does that make you,Doctor? [DOCTOR] There are colonies out there. The Human Race would survive insome shape or form, but you're the only Daleks in existence. The wholeUniverse is in danger --------------------------------------- (Floor 494) [DOCTOR [OC]] If I let you live. --------------------------------------- (Floor 500) [DOCTOR] Do you see, Jack? That's the decision I'vegot to make for every living thing. Die as a human or live as a Dalek.What would you do? [JACK [on viewscreen]] You sent her home. She's safe. Keep working. --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [EMPEROR] But he will exterminate you! --------------------------------------- (Floor 494) [JACK] Never doubted him. --------------------------------------- (Floor 500) [JACK [OC]] Never will. [DOCTOR] Now, you tell me, God of all Daleks, because there's one thingI never worked out. The words Bad Wolf, spread across time and space,everywhere, drawing me in. How'd you manage that? [EMPEROR [on viewscreen]] I did nothing. [DOCTOR] Oh, come on, there's no secrets now, your worship. --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [EMPEROR] They are not part of my design. This isthe Truth of God. (The Doctor looks up at the BadWolf Corporation signon the wall.) --------------------------------------- (Cafe) [JACKIE] And it's gone up market, this place. They're doing little tubsof coleslaw, now. It's not very nice. It tastes a bit sort of clinical. [MICKEY] Have you tried that new pizza place down Minto Road? [JACKIE] What's it selling? [MICKEY] Pizza. [JACKIE] That's nice. Do they deliver? [MICKEY] Yeah. [JACKIE] Oh, Rose, have something to eat [ROSE] Two hundred thousand years in the future, he's dying, and there'snothing I can do. [JACKIE] Well, like you said two hundred thousand years. It's way off. [ROSE] But it's not. It's now. That fight is happening right now, andhe's fighting for us, for the whole planet, and I'm just sitting hereeating chips. [JACKIE] Listen to me. God knows I have hated that man, but right now, Ilove him and do you know why? Because he did the right thing. He sentyou back to me. [ROSE] But what do I do every day, mum? What do I do? Get up, catch thebus, go to work, come back home, eat chips and go to bed? Is that it? [MICKEY] It's what the rest of us do. [ROSE] But I can't! [MICKEY] Why, because you're better than us? [ROSE] No, I didn't mean that. But it was. It was a better life. And Idon't mean all the travelling and seeing aliens and spaceships andthings. That don't matter. The Doctor showed me a better way of livingyour life. You know he showed you too. That you don't just give up. Youdon't just let things happen. You make a stand. You say no. You havethe guts to do what's right when everyone else just runs away, and Ijust can't --------------------------------------- (Observation deck) [JACK] Right, Lynda, you are my eyes and ears. Whenthe Daleks get in, you can follow it on that screen and report it tome. [LYNDA] Understood. [JACK] They'll detect you but the door's made of Hydra Combination. Itshould keep them out. [LYNDA] Should? [JACK] It's the best I can do. How long till the Fleet arrives? [PAVALE] They've accelerated. [JACK] This is it, ladies and gentlemen. We are at war! --------------------------------------- (Powell Estate) [MICKEY] You can't spend the rest of your lifethinking about the Doctor. [ROSE] But how do I forget him? [MICKEY] You've got to start living your own life. You know, a properlife, like the kind he's never had. The sort of life that you couldhave with me. [ROSE] Over here. It's over here as well! [MICKEY] That's been there for years. It's just a phrase. It's justwords. [ROSE] I thought it was a warning. Maybe it's the opposite. Maybe it's amessage. The same words written down now and two hundred thousand yearsin the future. It's a link between me and the Doctor. Bad Wolf here,Bad Wolf there. [MICKEY] But if it's a message, what's it saying? [ROSE] It's telling me I can get back. The least I can do is help himescape. --------------------------------------- (Floor 499) [JACK] Stand your ground, everyone. Follow mycommands. And good luck. --------------------------------------- (Observation gallery) [LYNDA] You were right. They're forcing the airlockon four nine four. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [ROSE] All the Tardis needs to do is make a returntrip. Just reverse. [MICKEY] Yeah, but we still can't do it. [ROSE] The Doctor always said the Tardis was telepathic. This thing isalive. It can listen. [MICKEY] It's not listening now, is it? [ROSE] We need to get inside it. Last time I saw you, with the Slitheen,this middle bit opened, and there was this light, and the Doctor saidit was the heart of the Tardis. If we can open it, I can make contact.I can tell it what to do. [MICKEY] Rose. [ROSE] Mmm? [MICKEY] If you go back, you're going to die. [ROSE] That's a risk I've got to take, because there's nothing left forme here. [MICKEY] Nothing? [ROSE] No. [MICKEY] Okay, if that's what you think, let's get this thing open. --------------------------------------- (Observation deck) [JACK [OC]] Okay, activate internal lasers. Slicethem up. [LYNDA] Defences have gone offline. The Dalek's have overridden the lot. [FLOOR MANAGER] You lied to me! The bullets don't work! --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [ROSE] Faster! --------------------------------------- (Powell Estate) [MICKEY] Come on! [ROSE] It's not moving! --------------------------------------- (Observation gallery) [LYNDA] Advance guard have made it --------------------------------------- (Floor 500) [LYNDA [OC]] To four nine five. [DOCTOR] Jack --------------------------------------- (Floor 499) [DOCTOR [OC]] How're we doing? [JACK] Four nine five should be good. I like four nine five. --------------------------------------- (Floor 495) [DALEK] Identify yourself! [ANNE DROID] You are the weakest link. Goodbye! --------------------------------------- (Floor 499) [JACK] Yes! --------------------------------------- (Floor 495) [ANNE DROID] You are the weakest link [ANNE DROID] Goodbye. [DALEK] Proceed to next level. --------------------------------------- (Observation gallery) [LYNDA] They're flying up the ventilation shafts.No, wait a minute. Oh, my God. Why're they doing that? They're goingdown. --------------------------------------- (Floor Zero) [DALEKS [OC]] Exterminate! Exterminate! [DALEKS] Exterminate! Exterminate! Exterminate. [RODRICK] You can't! You don't exist! It's not fair! I won the game! Ishould be rich! I'm a winner! You can't do this to me! [DALEK] Exterminate. --------------------------------------- (Observation gallery) [LYNDA] Floor Zero. They killed them all. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [JACKIE] It was never going to work, sweetheart. Andthe Doctor knew that. He just wanted you to be safe. [ROSE] I can't give up. [JACKIE] Lock the door. Walk away. [ROSE] Dad wouldn't give up. [JACKIE] Well, he's not here, is he? And even if he was, he'd say thesame. [ROSE] No, he wouldn't. He'd tell me to try anything. If I could savethe Doctor's life, try anything. [JACKIE] Well, we're never going to know. [ROSE] Well, I know because I met him. I met Dad. [JACKIE] Don't be ridiculous. [ROSE] The Doctor took me back in time, and I met Dad. [JACKIE] Don't say that. [ROSE] Remember when Dad died? There was someone with him. A girl, ablonde girl. She held his hand. You saw her from a distance, Mum. Yousaw her! Think about it. That was me. You saw me. [JACKIE] Stop it. [ROSE] That's how good the Doctor is. [JACKIE] Stop it! Just stop it! --------------------------------------- (Floor 500) [DOCTOR] Lynda! What's happening on Earth? --------------------------------------- (Observation deck) [LYNDA] The Fleet's descending. They're bombingwhole continents. Europa, Pacifica, the New American Alliance.Australasia's just gone. --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [EMPEROR] This is perfection. I have created Heavenon Earth. --------------------------------------- (Floor 499) [JACK] Floor 499, we're the last defence. Thebullets should work if you concentrate them on the Dalek's eyestalk.I've got the forcefield at maximum so Dalek fire power should be at itsweakest. [PAVALE] I'm only here because of you. I joined the Programme becauseyou were on it. [WOMAN] Am I supposed to say, when this is all over and if we're stillalive, maybe we could go for a drink? [PAVALE] That'd be nice. [WOMAN] Yeah, well, tough. --------------------------------------- (Powell Estate) [MICKEY] There's got to be something else we can do. [ROSE] Mum was right. Maybe we should just lock the door and walk away. [MICKEY] I'm not having that. I'm not having you just, just give up now.No way. We just need something stronger than my car. Something bigger.Something like that. [JACKIE] Right, you've only got this until six o'clock, so get on withit. [ROSE] Mum, where the hell did you get that from? [JACKIE] Rodrigo. He owes me a favour. Never mind why, but you wereright about your dad, sweetheart. He was full of mad ideas, and it'sexactly what he would've done. Now, get on with it before I change mymind. --------------------------------------- (Floor 500) [JACK] Open fire! [PAVALE] It's not working! [JACK] Concentrate your fire! Eyestalk, two o'clock! [DALEK] My vision is impaired! I cannot see! [WOMAN] We did it! [PAVALE] No! No! --------------------------------------- (Observation gallery) [LYNDA] I've got a problem [DALEK [OC]] Human female detected. [LYNDA] They've found me. --------------------------------------- (Floor 500) [DOCTOR] You'll be all right, Lynda. That side ofthe station's reinforced against meteors. --------------------------------------- (Observation gallery) [LYNDA] Hope so! You know what they say about Earthworkmanship. --------------------------------------- (Floor 500) [JACK] Last man standing! For God's sake, Doctor, finish that thing andkill them! [EMPEROR [on viewscreen]] Finish that thing and kill mankind. --------------------------------------- (Powell Estate) [ROSE] Keep going! [JACKIE] Put your foot down! [ROSE] Faster! [JACKIE] Give it some more, Mickey! [ROSE] Keep going! [JACKIE] Come on, come on! [ROSE] Keep going! [JACKIE] Give it some more! [MICKEY] Rose! --------------------------------------- (Floor 500) [JACK] Doctor, you've got twenty seconds maximum! [DALEK] Exterminate. [JACK] I kind of figured that. [DOCTOR] It's ready! [DOCTOR] You really want to think about this, because if I activate thesignal, every living creature dies. [EMPEROR [on viewscreen]] I am immortal. [DOCTOR] Do you want to put that to the test? [EMPEROR [on viewscreen]] I want to see you become like me. Hail theDoctor, the Great Exterminator. [DOCTOR] I'll do it! [EMPEROR [on viewscreen]] Then prove yourself, Doctor. What are you,coward or killer? [DOCTOR] Coward. Any day. [EMPEROR [on viewscreen]] Mankind will be harvested because of yourweakness. [DOCTOR] And what about me? Am I becoming one of your angels? [EMPEROR [on viewscreen]] You are the heathen. You will be exterminated. [DOCTOR] Maybe it's time. [DALEK] Alert! Tardis materialising! [EMPEROR [on viewscreen]] You will not escape! [DOCTOR] What've you done? [ROSE] I looked into the Tardis, and the Tardis looked into me. [DOCTOR] You looked into the Time Vortex. Rose, no one's meant to seethat. [EMPEROR [on viewscreen]] This is the Abomination! [DALEK] Exterminate! [ROSE] I am the Bad Wolf. I create myself. I take the words, I scatterthem in time and space. A message to lead myself here. [DOCTOR] Rose, you've got to stop this. You've got to stop this now.You've got the entire vortex running through your head. You're going toburn. [ROSE] I want you safe. My Doctor. Protected from the false god. [EMPEROR [on viewscreen]] You cannot hurt me. I am immortal. [ROSE] You are tiny. I can see the whole of time and space. Every singleatom of your existence, and I divide them. [ROSE] Everything must come to dust. All things. Everything dies. TheTime War ends. --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [EMPEROR] I will not die. I cannot die! --------------------------------------- (Floor 500) [DOCTOR] Rose, you've done it. Now stop. Just letgo. [ROSE] How can I let go of this? I bring life. [DOCTOR] But this is wrong! You can't control life and death. [ROSE] But I can. The sun and the moon, the day and night. But why dothey hurt? [DOCTOR] The power's going to kill you and it's my fault. [ROSE] I can see everything. All that is, all that was, all that evercould be. [DOCTOR] That's what I see. All the time. And doesn't it drive you mad? [ROSE] My head. [DOCTOR] Come here. [ROSE] It's killing me [DOCTOR] I think you need a Doctor. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [ROSE] What happened? [DOCTOR] Don't you remember? [ROSE] It's like there was this singing. [DOCTOR] That's right. I sang a song and the Daleks ran away. [ROSE] I was at home. No, I wasn't, I was in the Tardis, and there wasthis light. I can't remember anything else [DOCTOR] Rose Tyler. I was going take you to so many places. Barcelona.Not the city Barcelona, the planet Barcelona. You'd love it. Fantasticplace. They've got dogs with no noses. Imagine how many times a day youend up telling that joke, and it's still funny. [ROSE] Then, why can't we go? [DOCTOR] Maybe you will, and maybe I will. But not like this. [ROSE] You're not making sense. [DOCTOR] I might never make sense again. I might have two heads, or nohead. Imagine me with no head. And don't say that's an improvement. Butit's a bit dodgy, this process. You never know what you're going to endup with [ROSE] Doctor! [DOCTOR] Stay away! [ROSE] Doctor, tell me what's going on. [DOCTOR] I absorbed all the energy of the Time Vortex, and no one'smeant to do that. Every cell in my body's dying. [ROSE] Can't you do something? [DOCTOR] Yeah, I'm doing it now. Time Lords have this little trick, it'ssort of a way of cheating death. Except it means I'm going to change,and I'm not going to see you again. Not like this. Not with this daftold face. And before I go [ROSE] Don't say that. [DOCTOR] Rose, before I go, I just want to tell you, you were fantastic.Absolutely fantastic. And do you know what? So was I. [DOCTOR] Hello. Okay. Ooo, new teeth. That's weird. So, where was I? Oh,that's right. Barcelona.

Go on. --------------------------------------- (The Tyler flat) [JACKIE] There must be something, you never phone inthe middle of the day. --------------------------------------- (Gallery 15) [JACKIE [OC]] What's so funny? [ROSE] nan --------------------------------------- (The Tyler flat) [JACKIE] Yeah. Why wouldn't I be? --------------------------------------- (Gallery 15) [ROSE] What day is it? --------------------------------------- (The Tyler flat) [JACKIE] Wednesday, all day. You got a hangover? --------------------------------------- (Gallery 15) [JACKIE] Oh, I tell you what. Put a quid in thatLottery syndicate. I'll pay you back later. [ROSE] Yeah, er, I was just calling 'cos --------------------------------------- (The Tyler flat) [ROSE [OC]] I might be late home. [JACKIE] Is there something wrong? --------------------------------------- (Gallery 15) [ROSE] No. I'm fine. Top of the world. [DOCTOR] Think that's amazing, you want to see the bill. [ROSE] That was five billion years ago. So, she's dead now. Five billionyears later, my mum's dead. [DOCTOR] Bundle of laughs, you are. [DOCTOR] That's not supposed to happen. --------------------------------------- (Steward's office) [STEWARD] Well, what was it? I'm just getting greenlights at this end. [STEWARD] Honoured guests may be reassured that gravity pockets maycause slight turbulence, thanking you. [STEWARD] The whole place shook! I felt it. I've hosted all sorts ofevents on Platforms One, Three, Six and Fifteen and I've never felt theslightest tremor. I warn you, if this lot decide to sue. I'm going toscan the infrastructure. [STEWARD] What's that? Control, I don't want to worry you, but I'mpicking up readings. I have no idea. Well, they're small. The scan saysthey're metal. I don't know what they look like! [STEWARD] Although I imagine they might look rather like that. You'renot on the guest list. How did you get on board? [STEWARD] No. [COMPUTER] Sun filter deactivated. [STEWARD] No! [COMPUTER] Sun filter descending. [STEWARD] No! Sun filter, up! No, no, no! [COMPUTER] External temperature four thousand degrees. [STEWARD] Control, respond! Sun filter up! Argh! --------------------------------------- (Observation gallery) [MOXX] Indubitably, this is the Bad Wolf scenario. Ifind the inherent laxity of the on-going multiverse [DOCTOR] That wasn't a gravity pocket. I know gravity pockets and theydon't feel like that. What do you think, Jabe? Listened to the engines.They've pitched up about thirty Hertz. That dodgy or what? [JABE] It's the sound of metal. It doesn't make any sense to me. [DOCTOR] Where's the engine room? [JABE] I don't know, but the maintenance duct is just behind our guestsuite, I could show you and your wife. [DOCTOR] She's not my wife. [JABE] Partner? [DOCTOR] No. [JABE] Concubine? [DOCTOR] Nope. [JABE] Prostitute? [ROSE] Whatever I am, it must be invisible. Do you mind? Tell you what,you two go and pollinate. I'm going to catch up with family. Quick wordwith Michael Jackson. [DOCTOR] Don't start a fight. [DOCTOR] I'm all yours. [ROSE] And I want you home by midnight. [COMPUTER] Earth Death in fifteen minutes. Earth Death in fifteenminutes. --------------------------------------- (Maintenance duct) [DOCTOR] Who's in charge of Platform One? Is there a Captain or what? [JABE] There's just the Steward and the staff. All the rest iscontrolled by the metal mind. [DOCTOR] You mean the computer? But who controls that? [JABE] The Corporation. They move Platform One from one artistic eventto another. [DOCTOR] But there's no one from the Corporation on board. [JABE] They're not needed. This facility is purely automatic. It's theheight of the Alpha class. Nothing can go wrong. [DOCTOR] Unsinkable? [JABE] If you like. The nautical metaphor is appropriate. [DOCTOR] You're telling me. I was on board another ship once. They saidthat was unsinkable. I ended up clinging to an iceberg. It wasn't halfcold.So, what you're saying is, if we get in trouble there's no one to helpus out? [JABE] I'm afraid not. [DOCTOR] Fantastic. [JABE] I don't understand. In what way is that fantastic? --------------------------------------- (Observation gallery) [CASSANDRA] Soon, the sun will blossom into a redgiant, and my home will die. That's where I used to live, when I was alittle boy, down there. Mummy and Daddy had a little house built intothe side of the Los Angeles Crevice. I'd have such fun. [ROSE] What happened to everyone else? The human race, where did it go? [CASSANDRA] They say mankind has touched every star in the sky. [ROSE] So, you're not the last human. [CASSANDRA] I am the last pure human. The others mingled. [CASSANDRA] Oh, they call themselves New humans and Proto-humans andDigi-humans, even 'Humanish, but you know what I call them? Mongrels. [ROSE] Right. And you stayed behind. [CASSANDRA] I kept myself pure. [ROSE] How many operations have you had? [CASSANDRA] Seven hundred and eight. Next week, it's seven hundred andnine. I'm having my blood bleached. Is that why you wanted a word? Youcould be flatter, Rose. You've got a little bit of a chin poking out. [ROSE] I'd rather die. [CASSANDRA] Honestly, it doesn't hurt. [ROSE] No, I mean it. I would rather die. It's better to die than livelike you, a bitchy trampoline. [CASSANDRA] Oh, well. What do you know. [ROSE] I was born on that planet, and so was my mum, and so was my dad,and that makes me officially the last human being in this room, 'cosyou're not human. You've had it all nipped and tucked and flattenedtill there's nothing left. Anything human got chucked in the bin.You're just skin, Cassandra. Lipstick and skin. Nice talking. --------------------------------------- (Maintenance duct) [DOCTOR] So tell me, Jabe, what's a tree like youdoing in a place like this? [JABE] Respect for the Earth. [DOCTOR] Oh, come on. Everyone on this platform's worth zillions. [JABE] Well, perhaps it's a case of having to be seen at the rightoccasions. [DOCTOR] In case your share prices drop? I know you lot. You've gotmassive forests everywhere, roots everywhere, and there's always moneyin land. [JABE] All the same, we respect the Earth as family. So many speciesevolved from that planet. Mankind is only one. I'm another. Myancestors were transplanted from the planet down below, and I'm adirect descendant of the tropical rainforest. [DOCTOR] Excuse me. [JABE] And what about your ancestry, Doctor? Perhaps you could tell astory or two. Perhaps a man only enjoys trouble when there's nothingelse left. I scanned you earlier. The metal machine had troubleidentifying your species. It refused to admit your existence. And evenwhen it named you, I wouldn't believe it. But it was right. I knowwhere you're from. Forgive me for intruding, but it's remarkable thatyou even exist. I just wanted to say how sorry I am. --------------------------------------- (Engine room) [DOCTOR] Is it me, or is it a bit nippy? [DOCTOR] Fair do's, though, that's a great bit of air conditioning. Sortof nice and old fashioned. Bet they call it retro. [DOCTOR] Gotcha. [DOCTOR] What the hell's that? [JABE] Is it part of the retro? [DOCTOR] I don't think so. Hold on. [DOCTOR] Hey, nice liana. [JABE] Thank you. We're not supposed to show them in public. [DOCTOR] Don't worry, I won't tell anybody. Now then, who's beenbringing their pets on board? [JABE] What does it do? [DOCTOR] Sabotage. [COMPUTER] Earth Death in ten minutes. [DOCTOR] And the temperature's about to rocket. Come on. [COMPUTER] Earth Death in ten minutes. --------------------------------------- (Observation gallery) [CASSANDRA] The planet's end. Come gather, comegather. Bid farewell to the cradle of civilisation. Let us mourn herwith a traditional ballad. --------------------------------------- (Outside the Steward's office) [DOCTOR] Hold on. Get back. [COMPUTER] Sun filter rising. Sun filter rising. [JABE] Is the Steward in there?! [DOCTOR] You can smell him. Hold on, there's another sun filterprogrammed to descend. --------------------------------------- (Gallery 15) [COMPUTER] Sun filter descending. Sun filterdescending. Sun filter descending. [ROSE] Let me out! Let me out! [COMPUTER] Sun filter descending. --------------------------------------- (Outside gallery 15) [ROSE] Let me out! Let me out! --------------------------------------- (Gallery 15) [ROSE] Let me out! [COMPUTER] Sun filter descending. --------------------------------------- (Outside gallery 15) [COMPUTER] Sun filter descending. [DOCTOR] Anyone in there? --------------------------------------- (Gallery 15) [ROSE] Let me out! --------------------------------------- (Outside gallery 15) [DOCTOR] Oh, well, it would be you. --------------------------------------- (Gallery 15) [ROSE] Open the door! --------------------------------------- (Outside gallery 15) [DOCTOR] Hold on. Give us two ticks. --------------------------------------- (Gallery 15) [COMPUTER] Sun filter descending.

[DOCTOR] Just what we need. --------------------------------------- (Gallery 15) [DOCTOR [OC]] The computer's getting clever. [ROSE] Stop mucking about! --------------------------------------- (Outside gallery 15) [DOCTOR] I'm not mucking about. It's fighting back. --------------------------------------- (Gallery 15) [ROSE] Open the door! [DOCTOR [OC]] I know! --------------------------------------- (Outside gallery 15) [ROSE [OC]] The lock's melted! [COMPUTER] Sun filter descending. Sun filter --------------------------------------- (Outside gallery 15) [COMPUTER] Descending. Sun filter rising. Sun filterrising. [DOCTOR] The whole thing's jammed. I can't open the doors. Stay there! --------------------------------------- (Gallery 15) [DOCTOR [OC]] Don't move! [ROSE] Where are am I going to go, Ipswich? [COMPUTER] Earth Death in five minutes. --------------------------------------- (Observation gallery) [JABE] The metal machine confirms. The spiderdevices have infiltrated the whole of Platform One. [CASSANDRA] How's that possible? Our private rooms are protected by acode wall. Moisturise me, moisturise me. [MOXX] Summon the Steward. [JABE] I'm afraid the Steward is dead. [MOXX] Who killed him? [CASSANDRA] This whole event was sponsored by the Face of Boe. Heinvited us. Talk to the Face. Talk to the Face. [DOCTOR] Easy way of finding out. Someone bought their little pet onboard. Let's send him back to master. [CASSANDRA] The Adherents of the Repeated Meme. J'accuse! [DOCTOR] That's all very well, and really kind of obvious, but if youstop and think about it [DOCTOR] A Repeated Meme is just an idea. And that's all they are, anidea. [DOCTOR] Remote controlled Droids. Nice little cover for the realtroublemaker. Go on, Jimbo. Go home. [CASSANDRA] I bet you were the school swot and never got kissed. Atarms! [DOCTOR] What are you going to do, moisturise me? [CASSANDRA] With acid. Oh, you're too late, anyway. My spiders havecontrol of the mainframe. Oh, you all carried them as gifts, tax free,past every code wall. I'm not just as pretty face. [DOCTOR] Sabotaging a ship while you're still inside it? How stupid'sthat? [CASSANDRA] I'd hoped to manufacture a hostage situation with myself asone of the victims. The compensation would have been enormous. [DOCTOR] Five billion years and it still comes down to money. [CASSANDRA] Do you think it's cheap, looking like this? Flatness costs afortune. I am the last human, Doctor. Me. Not that freaky little kid ofyours. [MOXX] Arrest her, the infidel [CASSANDRA] Oh, shut it, pixie. I've still got my final option. [COMPUTER] Earth Death in three minutes. [CASSANDRA] And here it comes. You're just as useful dead, all of you. Ihave shares in your rival companies and they'll triple in price as soonas you're dead. My spiders are primed and ready to destroy the safetysystems. How did that old Earth song go? Burn, baby, burn. [JABE] Then you'll burn with us. [CASSANDRA] Oh, I'm so sorry. I know the use of teleportation isstrictly forbidden, but I'm such a naughty thing. Spiders, activate.(There is a series of explosions through the Platform.) [CASSANDRA] Forcefields gone with the planet about to explode. At leastit'll be quick. Just like my fifth husband. Oh, shame on me. [CASSANDRA] Bye, bye, darlings. Bye, bye, my darlings. [COMPUTER] Heat levels rising. [MOXX] Reset the computer. [JABE] Only the Steward would know how. [DOCTOR] No. We can do it by hand. There must be a system restoreswitch. Jabe, come on. You lot, just chill. [COMPUTER] Heat rising. --------------------------------------- (Space) [COMPUTER] Earth Death in two minutes. Earth Deathin two minutes. --------------------------------------- (Maintenance duct) [COMPUTER] Heat levels critical. --------------------------------------- (Engine room) [COMPUTER] Heat levels critical. [DOCTOR] Oh. And guess where the switch is. [COMPUTER] Heat levels rising. Heat levels rising. [COMPUTER] External temperature five thousand degrees. [DOCTOR] You can't. The heat's going to vent through this place. [JABE] I know. [DOCTOR] Jabe, you're made of wood. [JABE] Then stop wasting time, Time Lord. [COMPUTER] Heat levels rising. Heat levels rising. --------------------------------------- (Observation gallery) [COMPUTER] Heat levels hazardous. [MOXX] We're going to die! [COMPUTER] Heat levels hazardous. --------------------------------------- (Gallery 15) [COMPUTER] Shields malfunction. Shields malfunction.

[COMPUTER] Planet explodes in ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five [COMPUTER] Four. [DOCTOR] Raise shields! --------------------------------------- (Gallery 15) [COMPUTER] One. [COMPUTER] Exoglass repair. Exoglass repair. Exoglass repair. [COMPUTER] Exoglass repair. --------------------------------------- (Observation gallery) [DOCTOR] I'm sorry. [ROSE] You all right? [DOCTOR] Yeah, I'm fine. I'm full of ideas, I'm bristling with them.Idea number one, teleportation through five thousand degrees needs somekind of feed. Idea number two, this feed must be hidden nearby. [DOCTOR] Idea number three, if you're as clever as me, then ateleportation feed can be reversed. [CASSANDRA [OC]] Oh, you should have seen their little alien faces. [CASSANDRA] Oh. [DOCTOR] The last human. [CASSANDRA] So, you passed my little test. Bravo. This makes youeligible to join, er, the Human Club. [DOCTOR] People have died, Cassandra. You murdered them. [CASSANDRA] It depends on your definition of people, and that's enoughof a technicality to keep your lawyers dizzy for centuries. Take me tocourt, then, Doctor, and watch me smile and cry and flutter [DOCTOR] And creak? [CASSANDRA] And what? [DOCTOR] Creak. You're creaking. [CASSANDRA] What? Ah! I'm drying out! Oh, sweet heavens. Moisturise me,moisturise me! Where are my surgeons? My lovely boys! It's too hot! [DOCTOR] You raised the temperature. [CASSANDRA] Have pity! Moisturise me! Oh, oh, Doctor. I'm sorry. I'll doanything. [ROSE] Help her. [DOCTOR] Everything has its time and everything dies. [CASSANDRA] I'm too young! --------------------------------------- (Space) [COMPUTER] Shuttles four and six departing. Thisunit now closing down for maintenance. --------------------------------------- (Observation gallery) [ROSE] The end of the Earth. It's gone. We were too busy savingourselves. No one saw it go. All those years, all that history, and noone was even looking. It's just [DOCTOR] Come with me. --------------------------------------- (London) [MAN] Big Issue! Big Issue! [DOCTOR] You think it'll last forever, people and cars and concrete, butit won't. One day it's all gone. Even the sky. My planet's gone. It'sdead. It burned like the Earth. It's just rocks and dust before itstime. [ROSE] What happened? [DOCTOR] There was a war and we lost. [ROSE] A war with who? What about your people? [DOCTOR] I'm a Time Lord. I'm the last of the Time Lords. They're allgone. I'm the only survivor. I'm left travelling on my own 'cos there'sno one else. [ROSE] There's me. [DOCTOR] You've seen how dangerous it is. Do you want to go home? [ROSE] I don't know. I want. Oh, can you smell chips? [DOCTOR] Yeah. Yeah. [ROSE] I want chips. [DOCTOR] Me too. [ROSE] Right then, before you get me back in that box, chips it is, andyou can pay. [DOCTOR] No money. [ROSE] What sort of date are you? Come on then, tightwad, chips are onme. We've only got five billion years till the shops close.

Doctor Who (9 Apr, 2005; Ninth Doctor) - The Unquiet Dead [SNEED] Sneed and Company offer their sincerest condolences, sir, inthis most trying hour. [REDPATH] Grandmamma had a good innings, Mister Sneed. She was so fullof life. I can't believe she's gone. [SNEED] Not gone, Mister Redpath, sir. Merely sleeping. [REDPATH] May I have a moment? [SNEED] Yes, of course. I shall be in the next room, should you requireanything. [SNEED] Oh, no. No. [SNEED] Gwyneth! Get down here now! We've got another one! --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] Hold that one down! [ROSE] I'm holding this one down. [DOCTOR] Well, hold them both down. [ROSE] It's not going to work. [DOCTOR] Oi! I promised you a time machine and that's what you'regetting. Now, you've seen the future, let's have a look at the past.1860. How does 1860 sound? [ROSE] What happened in 1860? [DOCTOR] I don't know, let's find out. Hold on, here we go! --------------------------------------- (Kitchen) [SNEED] Gwyneth! Where are you, girl? Gwyneth! [SNEED] Where've you been? I was shouting. [GWYNETH] I've been in the stables, sir, breaking the ice for oldSampson. [SNEED] Well, get back in there and harness him up. [GWYNETH] Whatever for, sir? [SNEED] The stiffs are getting lively again. Mister Redpath'sgrandmother, she's up and on her feet and out there somewhere on thestreets. We've got to find her. [GWYNETH] Mister Sneed, for shame. How many more times? It's ungodly. [SNEED] Don't look at me like it's my fault. Now, come on, hurry up. Shewas eighty six. She can't have got far. [GWYNETH] What about Mister Redpath? Did you deal with him? [SNEED] No. She did. [GWYNETH] That's awful, sir. I know it's not my place, and please,forgive me for talking out of turn, sir. But this is getting beyond,now. Something terrible is happening in this house, and we've got toget help. [SNEED] And we will, as soon as I get that dead old woman locked up andsafe and sound. Now stop prevaricating, girl. Get the hearse ready.We're going body snatching. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [ROSE] Blimey! [DOCTOR] You're telling me. Are you all right? [ROSE] Yeah. I think so. Nothing broken. Did we make it? Where are we? [DOCTOR] I did it. Give the man a medal. Earth, Naples, December 24th,1860. [ROSE] That's so weird. It's Christmas. [DOCTOR] All yours. [ROSE] But, it's like, think about it, though. Christmas. 1860. Happensonce, just once and it's gone, it's finished, it'll never happen again.Except for you. You can go back and see days that are dead and gone ahundred thousand sunsets ago. No wonder you never stay still. [DOCTOR] Not a bad life. [ROSE] Better with two. Come on, then. [DOCTOR] Hey, where do you think you're going? [ROSE] 1860. [DOCTOR] Go out there dressed like that, you'll start a riot,Barbarella. There's a wardrobe through there. First left, second right,third on the left, go straight ahead, under the stairs, past the bins,fifth door on your left. Hurry up! --------------------------------------- (Hearse) [SNEED] Not a sign. Where is she? [GWYNETH] She's vanished into the ether, sir. Where can she be? [SNEED] You tell me, girl. [GWYNETH] What do you mean? [SNEED] Gwyneth, you know full well. [GWYNETH] No, sir. I can't. [SNEED] Use the sight. [GWYNETH] It's not right, sir. [SNEED] Find the old lady or you're dismissed. Now, look inside, girl.Look deep. Where is she? [GWYNETH] She's lost, sir. She's so alone. Oh, my lord. So many strangethings in her head. [SNEED] But where? [GWYNETH] She's excited about tonight. Before she passed on, she wasgoing to see him. [SNEED] Who's him? [GWYNETH] The great man. All the way from London. The great, great man. --------------------------------------- (Dressing room) [MAN] Mister Dickens, Mister Dickens. Excuse me,sir, Mister Dickens. This is your call. Are you quite well, sir? [DICKENS] Splendid, splendid. Sorry. [MAN] Time you were on, sir. [DICKENS] Absolutely. I was just brooding. Christmas Eve. Not the bestof times to be alone. [MAN] Did no one travel with you, sir? No lady wife waiting out front? [DICKENS] I'm afraid not. [MAN] You can have mine if you want. [DICKENS] Oh, I wouldn't dare. I've been rather, let's say, clumsy, withfamily matters. Thank God I'm too old to cause any more trouble. [MAN] You speak as though it's all over, sir. [DICKENS] No, it's never over. On and on I go, the same old show. I'mlike a ghost, condemned to repeat myself for all eternity. [MAN] It's never too late, sir. You can always think up some new turns. [DICKENS] No, I can't. Even my imagination grows stale. I'm an old man.Perhaps I've thought everything I'll ever think. Still, the lure of thelimelight's as potent as a pipe, what? Eh? On with the motley. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] Blimey! [ROSE] Don't laugh. [DOCTOR] You look beautiful, considering. [ROSE] Considering what? [DOCTOR] That you're human. [ROSE] I think that's a compliment. Aren't you going to change? [DOCTOR] I've changed my jumper. Come on. [ROSE] You stay there. You've done this before. This is mine. --------------------------------------- (Outside the Tardis) [DOCTOR] Ready for this? Here we go. History. --------------------------------------- (Outside the theatre) [GWYNETH] She's in there, sir, I'm certain of it. [SNEED] Right. [DOCTOR] I got the flight a bit wrong. [ROSE] I don't care. [DOCTOR] It's not 1860, it's 1869. [ROSE] I don't care. [DOCTOR] And it's not Naples. [ROSE] I don't care. [DOCTOR] It's Cardiff. [ROSE] Right. --------------------------------------- (Theatre) [DICKENS] Now, it is a fact that there was nothing particular at allabout the knocker on the door of this house, but let any man explain tome if he can, how it happened that Scrooge, having his key in the lockof the door, saw in the knocker, without it's undergoing anyintermediate process of change, not a knocker, but Marley's face.Marley's face! It looked at Scrooge as Marley used to look. It lookedlike [DICKENS] Oh, my lord. It looked like that! [DICKENS] What phantasmagoria is this? --------------------------------------- (Outside the theatre) [DOCTOR] That's more like it! --------------------------------------- (Theatre) [DICKENS] Stay in your seats, I beg you. It is a lantern show. It'strickery. [SNEED] Excuse me. [GWYNETH] There she is, sir! [SNEED] I can see that. The whole blooming world can see that! [DOCTOR] Fantastic. [DOCTOR] Did you see where it came from? [DICKENS] Ah, the wag reveals himself, does he? I trust you'resatisfied, sir! [ROSE] Oi! Leave her alone! Doctor, I'll get them. [DOCTOR] Be careful! Did it say anything? Can it speak? I'm the Doctor,by the way. [DICKENS] Doctor? You look more like a navvie. [DOCTOR] What's wrong with this jumper? --------------------------------------- (Outside the theatre) [ROSE] What're you doing?! [GWYNETH] Oh, it's a tragedy, miss. Don't worry yourself. Me and themaster will deal with it. The fact is, this poor lady's been taken withthe brain fever and we have to get her to the infirmary. [ROSE] She's cold. She's dead! Oh, my God, what'd you do to her? [GWYNETH] What did you do that for? [SNEED] She's seen too much. Get her in the hearse. Legs. --------------------------------------- (Theatre) [DOCTOR] Gas! It's made of gas. --------------------------------------- (Outside the theatre) [DOCTOR] Rose! [DICKENS] You're not escaping me, sir. What do you know about thathobgoblin, hmm? Projection on glass, I suppose. Who put you up to it? [DOCTOR] Yeah, mate. Not now, thanks. Oi, you! Follow that hearse! [DRIVER] I can't do that, sir. [DOCTOR] Why not? [DICKENS] I'll tell you why not. I'll give you a very good reason whynot. Because this is my coach. [DOCTOR] Well, get in, then. Move! --------------------------------------- (Coach) [DOCTOR] Come on, you're losing them. [DRIVER] Everything in order, Mister Dickens? [DICKENS] No! It is not! [DOCTOR] What did he say? [DICKENS] Let me say this first. I'm not without a sense of humour. [DOCTOR] Dickens? [DICKENS] Yes. [DOCTOR] Charles Dickens? [DICKENS] Yes. [DOCTOR] The Charles Dickens? [DRIVER] Should I remove the gentleman, sir? [DOCTOR] Charles Dickens? You're brilliant, you are. Completely onehundred percent brilliant. I've read them all. Great Expectations,Oliver Twist and what's the other one, the one with the ghost? [DICKENS] A Christmas Carol? [DOCTOR] No, no, no, the one with the trains. The Signal Man, that's it.Terrifying! The best short story ever written. You're a genius. [DRIVER] You want me to get rid of him, sir? [DICKENS] Er, no, I think he can stay. [DOCTOR] Honestly, Charles. Can I call you Charles? I'm such a big fan. [DICKENS] A what? A big what? [DOCTOR] Fan. Number one fan, that's me. [DICKENS] How exactly are you a fan? In what way do you resemble a meansof keeping oneself cool? [DOCTOR] No, it means fanatic, devoted to. Mind you, I've got to say,that American bit in Martin Chuzzlewit, what's that about? Was thatjust padding or what? I mean, it's rubbish, that bit. [DICKENS] I thought you said you were my fan. [DOCTOR] Ah, well, if you can't take criticism. Go on, do the death ofLittle Nell, it cracks me up. No, sorry, forget about that. Come on,faster! [DICKENS] Who exactly is in that hearse? [DOCTOR] My friend. She's only nineteen. It's my fault. She's in mycare, and now she's in danger. [DICKENS] Why are we wasting my time talking about dry old books? Thisis much more important. Driver, be swift! The chase is on! [DRIVER] Yes, sir! [DOCTOR] Attaboy, Charlie. [DICKENS] Nobody calls me Charlie. [DOCTOR] The ladies do. [DICKENS] How do you know that? [DOCTOR] I told you, I'm your number one [DICKENS] Number one fan. --------------------------------------- (Chapel of Rest) [GWYNETH] The poor girl's still alive, sir! What'rewe going to do with her? [SNEED] I don't know! I didn't plan any of this, did I. It isn't myfault if the dead won't stay dead. [GWYNETH] Then whose fault is it, sir? Why is this happening to us? --------------------------------------- (Hallway) [SNEED] I did the Bishop a favour, once. Made hisnephew look like a cherub even though he'd been a fortnight in theweir. Perhaps he'll do us an exorcism on the cheap. [SNEED] Say I'm not in. Tell them we're closed. Just, just get rid ofthem. --------------------------------------- (Front door) [GWYNETH] I'm sorry, sir. We're closed. [DICKENS] Nonsense. Since when did an Undertaker keep office hours? Thedead don't die on schedule. I demand to see your master. [GWYNETH] He's not in, sir. [DICKENS] Don't lie to me, child. Summon him at once. [GWYNETH] I'm awfully sorry, Mister Dickens, but the master'sindisposed. [DOCTOR] Having trouble with your gas? [DICKENS] What the Shakespeare is going on? --------------------------------------- (Chapel of Rest) [ROSE] Are you all right? You're kidding me, yeah? You're just kidding.You are kidding me, aren't you? [ROSE] Okay, not kidding. --------------------------------------- (Front door) [GWYNETH] You're not allowed inside, sir. [DOCTOR] There's something inside the walls. [DOCTOR] The gas pipes. Something's living inside the gas. --------------------------------------- (Chapel of Rest) [ROSE] Let me out! --------------------------------------- (Front door) [ROSE [OC]] Open the door! [DOCTOR] That's her. [ROSE [OC]] Please, please, let me out! --------------------------------------- (Hallway) [SNEED] How dare you, sir. (to Dickens.) This is my house! [DICKENS] Shut up. [SNEED] (to Gwyneth)I told you. --------------------------------------- (Chapel of Rest) [ROSE] Let me out! Somebody open the door! Open thedoor! [DOCTOR] I think this is my dance. [DICKENS] It's a prank. It must be. We're under some mesmeric influence. [DOCTOR] No, we're not. The dead are walking. Hi. [ROSE] Hi. Who's your friend? [DOCTOR] Charles Dickens. [ROSE] Okay. [DOCTOR] My name's the Doctor. Who are you, then? What do you want? [REDPATH] Failing. Open the rift. We're dying. Trapped in this form.Cannot sustain. Help us. Argh! --------------------------------------- (Living room) [ROSE] First of all you drug me, then you kidnap me, and don't think Ididn't feel your hands having a quick wander, you dirty old man. [SNEED] I won't be spoken to like this! [ROSE] Then you stuck me in a room full of zombies! And if that ain'tenough, you swan off and leave me to die! So come on, talk! [SNEED] It's not my fault. It's this house. It always had a reputation.Haunted. But I never had much bother until a few months back, and thenthe stiffs, the er, dear departed started getting restless. [DICKENS] Tommyrot. [SNEED] You witnessed it. Can't keep the beggars down, sir. They walk.And it's the queerest thing, but they hang on to scraps. [GWYNETH] Two sugars, sir, just how you like it. [SNEED] One old fellow who used to be a sexton almost walked into hisown memorial service. Just like the old lady going to your performance,sir, just as she planned. [DICKENS] Morbid fancy. [DOCTOR] Oh, Charles, you were there. [DICKENS] I saw nothing but an illusion. [DOCTOR] If you're going to deny it, don't waste my time. Just shut up.What about the gas? [SNEED] That's new, sir. Never seen anything like that. [DOCTOR] Means it's getting stronger, the rift's getting wider andsomething's sneaking through. [ROSE] What's the rift? [DOCTOR] A weak point in time and space. A connection between this placeand another. That's the cause of ghost stories, most of the time. [SNEED] That's how I got the house so cheap. Stories going backgenerations. [SNEED] Echoes in the dark, queer songs in the air, and this feelinglike a shadow passing over your soul. Mind you, truth be told, it'sbeen good for business. Just what people expect from a gloomy old tradelike mine. --------------------------------------- (Hallway) [DICKENS] Impossible. --------------------------------------- (Chapel of Rest) [DOCTOR] Checking for strings? [DICKENS] Wires, perhaps. There must be some mechanism behind thisfraud. [DOCTOR] Oh, come on, Charles. All right. I shouldn't have told you toshut up. I'm sorry. But you've got one of the best minds in the world.You saw those gas creatures. [DICKENS] I cannot accept that. [DOCTOR] And what does the human body do when it decomposes? It breaksdown and produces gas. Perfect home for these gas things. They can slipinside and use it as a vehicle, just like your driver and his coach. [DICKENS] Stop it. Can it be that I have the world entirely wrong? [DOCTOR] Not wrong. There's just more to learn. [DICKENS] I've always railed against the fantasists. Oh, I loved anillusion as much as the next man, revelled in them, but that's exactlywhat they were, illusions. The real world is something else. Idedicated myself to that. Injustices, the great social causes. I hopedthat I was a force for good. Now you tell me that the real world is arealm of spectres and jack-o'-lanterns. In which case, have I wasted mybrief span here, Doctor? Has it all been for nothing? --------------------------------------- (Pantry) [GWYNETH] Please, miss, you shouldn't be helping. It's not right. [ROSE] Don't be daft. Sneed works you to death. How much do you getpaid? [GWYNETH] Eight pound a year, miss. [ROSE] How much? [GWYNETH] I know. I would've been happy with six. [ROSE] So, did you go to school or what? [GWYNETH] Of course I did. What do you think I am, an urchin? I wentevery Sunday, nice and proper. [ROSE] What, once a week? [GWYNETH] We did sums and everything. To be honest, I hated everysecond. [ROSE] Me too. [GWYNETH] Don't tell anyone, but one week, I didn't go and ran on theheath all on my own. [ROSE] I did plenty of that. I used to go down the shops with my mateShareen. We used to go and look at boys. [GWYNETH] Well, I don't know much about that, miss. [ROSE] Come on, times haven't changed that much. I bet you've done thesame. [GWYNETH] I don't think so, miss. [ROSE] Gwyneth, you can tell me. I bet you've got your eye on someone. [GWYNETH] I suppose. There is one lad. The butcher’s boy. He comes byevery Tuesday. Such a lovely smile on him. [ROSE] I like a nice smile. Good smile, nice bum. [GWYNETH] Well, I have never heard the like. [ROSE] Ask him out. Give him a cup of tea or something, that's a start. [GWYNETH] I swear it is the strangest thing, miss. You've got all theclothes and the breeding, but you talk like some sort of wild thing. [ROSE] Maybe I am. Maybe that's a good thing. You need a bit more inyour life than Mister Sneed. [GWYNETH] Oh, now that's not fair. He's not so bad, old Sneed. He wasvery kind to me to take me in because I lost my mum and dad to the fluwhen I was twelve. [ROSE] Oh, I'm sorry. [GWYNETH] Thank you, miss. But I'll be with them again, one day, sittingwith them in paradise. I shall be so blessed. They're waiting for me.Maybe your dad's up there waiting for you too, miss. [ROSE] Maybe. Er, who told you he was dead? [GWYNETH] I don't know. Must have been the Doctor. [ROSE] My father died years back. [GWYNETH] But you've been thinking about him lately more than ever. [ROSE] I suppose so. How do you know all this? [GWYNETH] Mister Sneed says I think too much. I'm all alone down here. Ibet you've got dozens of servants, haven't you, miss? [ROSE] No, no servants where I'm from. [GWYNETH] And you've come such a long way. [ROSE] What makes you think so? [GWYNETH] You're from London. I've seen London in drawings, but neverlike that. All those people rushing about half naked, for shame. Andthe noise, and the metal boxes racing past, and the birds in the sky,no, they're metal as well. Metal birds with people in them. People areflying. And you, you've flown so far. Further than anyone. The thingsyou've seen. The darkness, the big bad wolf. I'm sorry. I'm sorry,miss. [ROSE] It's all right. [GWYNETH] I can't help it. Ever since I was a little girl, my mam said Ihad the sight. She told me to hide it. [DOCTOR] But it's getting stronger, more powerful, is that right? [GWYNETH] All the time, sir. Every night, voices in my head. [DOCTOR] You grew up on top of the rift. You're part of it. You're thekey. [GWYNETH] I've tried to make sense of it, sir. Consulted withspiritualists, table rappers, all sorts. [DOCTOR] Well, that should help. You can show us what to do. [GWYNETH] What to do where, sir? [DOCTOR] We're going to have a séance. --------------------------------------- (Living room) [GWYNETH] This is how Madam Mortlock summons those from the Land ofMists, down in big town. Come, we must all join hands. [DICKENS] I can't take part in this. [DOCTOR] Humbug? Come on, open mind. [DICKENS] This is precisely the sort of cheap mummery I strive tounmask. Séances? Nothing but luminous tambourines and a squeeze boxconcealed between the knees. This girl knows nothing. [DOCTOR] Now, don't antagonise her. I love a happy medium. [ROSE] I can't believe you just said that. [DOCTOR] Come on, we might need you. [DOCTOR] Good man. Now, Gwyneth, reach out. [GWYNETH] Speak to us. Are you there? Spirits, come. Speak to us that wemay relieve your burden. [ROSE] Can you hear that? [DICKENS] Nothing can happen. This is sheer folly. [ROSE] Look at her. [GWYNETH] I see them. I feel them. [ROSE] What's it saying? [DOCTOR] They can't get through the rift. Gwyneth, it's not controllingyou, you're controlling it. Now, look deep. Allow them through. [GWYNETH] I can't! [DOCTOR] Yes, you can. Just believe it. I have faith in you, Gwyneth.Make the link. [GWYNETH] Yes. [SNEED] Great God! Spirits from the other side. [DOCTOR] The other side of the universe. [GELTH] Pity us. Pity the Gelth. There is so little time. Help us. [DOCTOR] What do you want us to do? [GELTH] The rift. Take the girl to the rift. Make the bridge. [DOCTOR] What for? [GELTH] We are so very few. The last of our kind. We face extinction. [DOCTOR] Why, what happened? [GELTH] Once we had a physical form like you, but then the war came. [DICKENS] War? What war? [GELTH] The Time War. The whole universe convulsed. The Time War raged.Invisible to smaller species but devastating to higher forms. Ourbodies wasted away. We're trapped in this gaseous state. [DOCTOR] So that's why you need the corpses. [GELTH] We want to stand tall, to feel the sunlight, to live again. Weneed a physical form, and your dead are abandoned. They're going towaste. Give them to us. [ROSE] But we can't. [DOCTOR] Why not? [ROSE] It's not. I mean, it's not [DOCTOR] Not decent? Not polite? It could save their lives. [GELTH] Open the rift. Let the Gelth through. We're dying. Help us. Pitythe Gelth. [ROSE] Gwyneth? [DICKENS] All true. [ROSE] Are you okay? [DICKENS] It's all true. [ROSE] It's all right. You just sleep. [GWYNETH] But my angels, miss. They came, didn't they? They need me? [DOCTOR] They do need you, Gwyneth. You're they're only chance ofsurvival. [ROSE] I've told you, leave her alone. She's exhausted and she's notfighting your battles. Drink this. [SNEED] Well, what did you say, Doctor? Explain it again. What are they? [DOCTOR] Aliens. [SNEED] Like foreigners, you mean? [DOCTOR] Pretty foreign, yeah. From up there. [SNEED] Brecon? [DOCTOR] Close. And they've been trying to get through from Brecon toCardiff but the road's blocked. Only a few can get through and eventhen they're weak. They can only test drive the bodies for so long,then they have to revert to gas and hide in the pipes. [DICKENS] Which is why they need the girl. [ROSE] They're not having her. [DOCTOR] But she can help. Living on the rift, she's become part of it.She can open it up, make a bridge and let them through. [DICKENS] Incredible. Ghosts that are not ghosts but beings from anotherworld, who can only exist in our world by inhabiting cadavers. [DOCTOR] Good system. It might work. [ROSE] You can't let them run around inside of dead people. [DOCTOR] Why not? It's like recycling. [ROSE] Seriously though, you can't. [DOCTOR] Seriously though, I can. [ROSE] It's just wrong. Those bodies were living people. We shouldrespect them even in death. [DOCTOR] Do you carry a donor card? [ROSE] That's different. That's [DOCTOR] It is different, yeah. It's a different morality. Get used toit or go home. You heard what they said, time's short. I can't worryabout a few corpses when the last of the Gelth could be dying. [ROSE] I don't care. They're not using her. [GWYNETH] Don't I get a say, miss? [ROSE] Look, you don't understand what's going on. [GWYNETH] You would say that, miss, because that's very clear insideyour head, that you think I'm stupid. [ROSE] That's not fair. [GWYNETH] It's true, though. Things might be very different where you'refrom, but here and now, I know my own mind, and the angels need me.Doctor, what do I have to do? [DOCTOR] You don't have to do anything. [GWYNETH] They've been singing to me since I was a child, sent by my mamon a holy mission. So tell me. [DOCTOR] We need to find the rift. This house is on a weak spot, sothere must be a spot that's weaker than any other. Mister Sneed, what'sthe weakest part of this house? The place where most of the ghosts havebeen seen? [SNEED] That would be the morgue. [ROSE] No chance you were going to say gazebo, is there? --------------------------------------- (Morgue) [DOCTOR] Urgh. Talk about Bleak House. [ROSE] The thing is, Doctor, the Gelth don't succeed, 'cos I know theydon't. I know for a fact there weren't corpses walking around in 1869. [DOCTOR] Time's in flux, changing every second. Your cozy little worldcan be rewritten like that. Nothing is safe. Remember that. Nothing. [DICKENS] Doctor, I think the room is getting colder. [ROSE] Here they come. [GELTH] You've come to help. Praise the Doctor. Praise him. [ROSE] Promise you won't hurt her. [GELTH] Hurry! Please, so little time. Pity the Gelth. [DOCTOR] I'll take you somewhere else after the transfer. Somewhere youcan build proper bodies. This isn't a permanent solution, all right? [GWYNETH] My angels. I can help them live. [DOCTOR] Okay, where's the weak point? [GELTH] Here, beneath the arch. [GWYNETH] Beneath the arch. [ROSE] You don't have to do this. [GWYNETH] My angels. [GELTH] Establish the bridge. Reach out to the void. Let us through! [GWYNETH] Yes, I can see you. I can see you. Come! [GELTH] Bridgehead establishing. [GWYNETH] Come to me. Come to this world, poor lost souls! [GELTH] It is begun. The bridge is made. [GELTH] She has given herself to the Gelth. The bridge is open. Wedescend. [GELTH] The Gelth will come through in force. [DICKENS] You said that you were few in number. [GELTH] A few billion. And all of us in need of corpses. [SNEED] Gwyneth, stop this. Listen to your master. This has gone farenough. Stop dabbling, child, and leave these things alone, I beg ofyou [ROSE] Mister Sneed, get back! [DOCTOR] I think it's gone a little bit wrong. [SNEED] I have joined the legions of the Gelth. Come, march with us. [DICKENS] No. [GELTH] We need bodies. All of you. Dead. The human race. Dead. [DOCTOR] Gwyneth, stop them! Send them back now! [GELTH] Three more bodies. Convert them. Make them vessels for theGelth. [DICKENS] Doctor, I can't. I'm sorry. This new world of yours is toomuch for me. I'm so [GELTH] Give yourself to glory. Sacrifice your lives for the Gelth. [DOCTOR] I trusted you. I pitied you! [GELTH] We don't want your pity. We want this world and all it's flesh. [DOCTOR] Not while I'm alive. [GELTH] Then live no more. [ROSE] But I can't die. Tell me I can't. I haven't even been born yet.It's impossible for me to die. Isn't it? [DOCTOR] I'm sorry. --------------------------------------- (Street) [GELTH] Failing! Atmosphere hostile! [DICKENS] Gas. The gas! --------------------------------------- (Morgue) [ROSE] But it's 1869. How can I die now? [DOCTOR] Time isn't a straight line. It can twist into any shape. Youcan be born in the twentieth century and die in the nineteenth and it'sall my fault. I brought you here. [ROSE] It's not your fault. I wanted to come. [DOCTOR] What about me? I saw the fall of Troy, World War Five. I pushedboxes at the Boston Tea Party. Now I'm going to die in a dungeon inCardiff. [ROSE] It's not just dying. We'll become one of them. [ROSE] We'll go down fighting, yeah? [DOCTOR] Yeah. [ROSE] Together? [DOCTOR] Yeah. [DOCTOR] I'm so glad I met you. [ROSE] Me too. [DICKENS] Doctor! Doctor! Turn off the flame, turn up the gas! Now, fillthe room, all of it, now! [DOCTOR] What're you doing? [DICKENS] Turn it all on. Flood the place! [DOCTOR] Brilliant. Gas. [ROSE] What, so we choke to death instead? [DICKENS] Am I correct, Doctor? These creatures are gaseous. [DOCTOR] Fill the room with gas, it'll draw them out of the host. Suckthem into the air like poison from a wound! [DICKENS] I hope, oh Lord, I hope that this theory will be validatedsoon, if not immediately. [DOCTOR] Plenty more! [DICKENS] It's working. [DOCTOR] Gwyneth, send them back. They lied. They're not angels. [GWYNETH] Liars? [DOCTOR] Look at me. If your mother and father could look down and seethis, they'd tell you the same. They'd give you the strength. Now sendthem back! [ROSE] I can't breathe. [DOCTOR] Charles, get her out. [ROSE] I'm not leaving her. [GWYNETH] They're too strong. [DOCTOR] Remember that world you saw? Rose's world? All those people.None of it will exist unless you send them back through the rift. [GWYNETH] I can't send them back. But I can hold them. Hold them in thisplace, hold them here. Get out. [ROSE] You can't! [GWYNETH] Leave this place! [DOCTOR] Rose, get out. Go now. I won't leave her while she's still indanger. Now go! [DOCTOR] Come on, leave give that to me. --------------------------------------- (Hallway) [DICKENS] This way! --------------------------------------- (Morgue) [DOCTOR] I'm sorry. [DOCTOR] Thank you. --------------------------------------- (Street) [ROSE] She didn't make it. [DOCTOR] I'm sorry. She closed the rift. [DICKENS] At such a cost. The poor child. [DOCTOR] I did try, Rose, but Gwyneth was already dead. She had been forat least five minutes. [ROSE] What do you mean? [DOCTOR] I think she was dead from the minute she stood in that arch. [ROSE] But she can't have. She spoke to us. She helped us. She saved us.How could she have done that? [DICKENS] There are more things in Heaven and Earth than are dreamt ofin your philosophy. Even for you, Doctor. [ROSE] She saved the world. A servant girl. No one will ever know. --------------------------------------- (Outside the Tardis) [DOCTOR] Right then, Charlie boy, I've just got togo into my, er, shed. Won't be long. [ROSE] What are you going to do now? [DICKENS] I shall take the mail coach back to London, quite literallypost-haste. This is no time for me to be on my own. I shall spendChristmas with my family and make amends to them. After all I'velearned tonight, there can be nothing more vital. [DOCTOR] You've cheered up. [DICKENS] Exceedingly! This morning, I thought I knew everything in theworld. Now I know I've just started. All these huge and wonderfulnotions, Doctor. I'm inspired. I must write about them. [ROSE] Do you think that's wise? [DICKENS] I shall be subtle at first. The Mystery of Edwin Drood stilllacks an ending. Perhaps the killer was not the boy's uncle. Perhaps hewas not of this Earth. The Mystery of Edwin Drood and the BlueElementals. I can spread the word, tell the truth. [DOCTOR] Good luck with it. Nice to meet you. Fantastic. [ROSE] Bye, then, and thanks. [DICKENS] Oh, my dear. How modern. Thank you, but, I don't understand.In what way is this goodbye? Where are you going? [DOCTOR] You'll see. In the shed. [DICKENS] Upon my soul, Doctor, it's one riddle after another with you.But after all these revelations, there's one mystery you still haven'texplained. Answer me this. Who are you? [DOCTOR] Just a friend passing through. [DICKENS] But you have such knowledge of future times. I don't wish toimpose on you, but I must ask you. My books. Doctor, do they last? [DOCTOR] Oh, yes! [DICKENS] For how long? [DOCTOR] Forever. Right. Shed. Come on, Rose. [DICKENS] In the box? Both of you? [DOCTOR] Down boy. See you. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [ROSE] Doesn't that change history if he writesabout blue ghosts? [DOCTOR] In a week's time it's 1870, and that's the year he dies. Sorry.He'll never get to tell his story. [ROSE] Oh, no. He was so nice. [DOCTOR] But in your time, he was already dead. We've brought him backto life, and he's more alive now than he's ever been, old Charlie boy.Let's give him one last surprise. --------------------------------------- (Street) [MAN] Merry Christmas, sir. [DICKENS] Merry Christmas to you. God bless us, every one!

Doctor Who (16 Apr, 2005; Ninth Doctor) - Aliens of London (Powell Estate) [ROSE] How long have I been gone? [DOCTOR] About twelve hours. [ROSE] Oh. Right, I won't be long. I just want to see my mum. [DOCTOR] What're you going to tell her? [ROSE] I don't know. I've been to the year 5 billion and only been gone,what, twelve hours? No, I'll just tell her I spent the night atShareen's. See you later. Oh, don't you disappear. --------------------------------------- (The Tyler's flat) [ROSE] I'm back! I was with Shareen. She was allupset again. Are you in? So, what's been going on? How've you been?What? What's that face for? It's not the first time I've stayed out allnight. [JACKIE] It's you. [ROSE] Of course it's me. [JACKIE] Oh, my God. It's you. Oh my God.(Jackie hugs Rose, who spots several different types of missing personposters on the table. The Doctor runs in.) [DOCTOR] It's not twelve hours, it's twelve months. You've been gone awhole year. Sorry. [JACKIE] The hours I've sat here, days and weeks and months, all on myown. I thought you were dead, and where were you? Travelling. What thehell does that mean, travelling? That's no sort of answer. You ask her.She won't tell me. That's all she says. Travelling. [ROSE] That's what I was doing. [JACKIE] When your passport's still in the drawer? It's just one lieafter another. [ROSE] I meant to phone. I really did. I just I forgot. [JACKIE] What, for a year? You forgot for a year? And I am left sittinghere. I just don't believe you. Why won't you tell me where you'vebeen? [DOCTOR] Actually, it's my fault. I sort of er, employed Rose as mycompanion. [POLICEMAN] When you say companion, is this a sexual relationship? [ROSE + DOCTOR] No. [JACKIE] Then what is it? Because you, you waltz in here all charm andsmiles, and the next thing I know, she vanishes off the face of theEarth! How old are you then? Forty? Forty five? What, did you find heron the Internet? Did you go online and pretend you're a doctor? [DOCTOR] I am a Doctor. [JACKIE] Prove it. Stitch this, mate! [JACKIE] Did you think about me at all? [ROSE] I did. All the time, but [JACKIE] One phone call. Just to know that you were alive. [ROSE] I'm sorry. I really am. [JACKIE] Do you know, what terrifies me is that you still can't say.What happened to you, Rose? What can be so bad that you can't tell me,sweetheart? Where were you? --------------------------------------- (Powell Estate) [ROSE] I can't tell her. I can't even begin. She's never going toforgive me. And I missed a year. Was it good? [DOCTOR] Middling. [ROSE] You're so useless. [DOCTOR] Well, if it's this much trouble, are you going to stay herenow? [ROSE] I don't know. I can't do that to her again, though. [DOCTOR] Well, she's not coming with us. [ROSE] No chance. [DOCTOR] I don't do families. [ROSE] She slapped you! [DOCTOR] Nine hundred years of time and space, and I've never beenslapped by someone's mother. [ROSE] Your face. [DOCTOR] It hurt! [ROSE] You're so gay. When you say nine hundred years? [DOCTOR] That's my age. [ROSE] You're nine hundred years old. [DOCTOR] Yeah. [ROSE] My mum was right. That is one hell of an age gap. Everyconversation with you just goes mental. There's no one else I can talkto. I've seen all that stuff up there, the size of it, and I can't saya word. Aliens and spaceships and things, and I'm the only person onplanet Earth who knows they exist. [ROSE] Oh, that's just not fair. --------------------------------------- (Street) [MAN] Just my luck. [SOLDIER] Get back. Get back. [DOCTOR] It's blocked off. [ROSE] We're miles from the centre. The city must be grid locked. Thewhole of London must be closing down. [DOCTOR] I know. I can't believe I'm here to see this. This isfantastic! [ROSE] Did you know this was going to happen? [DOCTOR] Nope. [ROSE] Do you recognise the ship? [DOCTOR] Nope. [ROSE] Do you know why it crashed? [DOCTOR] Nope. [ROSE] Oh, I'm so glad I've got you. [DOCTOR] I bet you are. This is what I travel for, Rose. To see historyhappening right in front of us. [ROSE] Well, let's go and see it. Never mind the traffic, we've got theTardis. [DOCTOR] Better not. They've already got one spaceship in the middle ofLondon. I don't want to shove another one on top. [ROSE] Yeah, but yours looks like a big blue box. No one's going tonotice. [DOCTOR] You'd be surprised. Emergency like this, there'll be all kindsof people watching. Trust me. The Tardis stays where it is. [ROSE] So history's happening and we're stuck here. [DOCTOR] Yes, we are. [MAN] It's got to be Ken Livingstone, hasn't it. [ROSE] We could always do what everybody else does. We could watch it onTV. --------------------------------------- (The Tyler's flat) [REPORTER [OC]] Big Ben destroyed as a UFO crash lands in CentralLondon. Police reinforcements are drafted in from across the country tocontrol widespread panic, looting and civil disturbance. A state ofnational emergency has been declared. Tom Hitchinson is at the scene.

[HITCHINSON [on TV]] The army are sending divers into the wreck of thespaceship. No one knows what they're going to find. [WOMAN [on TV]] The President will address the nation live from theWhite House, but the Secretary General has asked that people watch theskies. [JACKIE] I've got no choice. [RU] You've broken your mother's heart. [JACKIE] I'm not going to make him welcome. [RU] I cradled her like a child. [DOCTOR] Oi, I'm trying to listen. [REPORTER [OC]] His current whereabouts. News is just coming in. We cango to Tom at the Embankment. [HITCHINSON [on TV]] They've found a body. It's unconfirmed, --------------------------------------- (Embankment) [HITCHINSON] But I'm being told a body has beenfound in the wreckage. A body of non-terrestrial origins. It's beingbrought ashore. --------------------------------------- (The Tyler's flat) [HITCHINSON [on TV]] A body of some sort has been found inside thewreckage of the spacecraft. [JACKIE] Oh, guess who asked me out. Billy Crewe. [HITCHINSON [on TV]] Brought to the nearest shore. Unconfirmed reportssay that the body is of extra-terrestrial origin. An extraordinaryevent unfolding here live here in Central London. The body is beingtransferred to a secure unit mortuary, the whereabouts is yet unknown.The roads in Central London are being [MATT BAKER [on TV]] And when you've stuck your fins on, you can coverthe whole lot in buttercream. [MATT BAKER [on TV]] Oh, look at that. Then ice it any colour you want.Here's one I made a little bit earlier. And look at that, your very ownspaceship ready to eat. And for something a little extra special [HITCHINSON [OC]] Albion Hospital. We still don't know whether it'salive or dead. Whitehall is denying everything. --------------------------------------- (Outside the hospital) [HITCHINSON] But the body has been brought here,Albion Hospital. The road's closed off. It's the closest to the river. --------------------------------------- (The Tyler's flat) [DOCTOR] Go on. [HITCHINSON [on TV]] I'm being told that General Asquith is now enteringthe hospital. The building's been evacuated. The patients have beenmoved out onto the --------------------------------------- (Outside the hospital) [HITCHINSON] Streets. The police still won't confirmthe presence of an alien body contained inside those walls. --------------------------------------- (Mortuary) [ASQUITH] Let's have a look, then. [ASQUITH] Good God. And that's real? It's not a hoax or a dummy, or a [SATO] I've x-rayed the skull. It's wired up inside like nothing I'veever seen before. No one could make this up. [ASQUITH] We've got experts being flown in. Until they arrive, get thatout of sight. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [SATO] Excuse me, sir? I know it's a state ofemergency and there's a lot of rumour flying around, but is it truewhat they're saying about the Prime Minister? --------------------------------------- (The Tyler's flat) [ANDREW MARR [on TV]] Mystery still surrounds there whereabouts of thePrime Minister. He's not been seen since the emergency began. Theopposition are criticising his lack of leadership, and. Hold on. [ANDREW MARR [on TV]] Oh, that's Joseph Green, MP for Hartley Dale. He'sChairman of the Parliamentary Commission --------------------------------------- (Downing Street) [ANDREW MARR] On the monitoring of sugar standardsin exported confectionary. With respect, hardly the most importantperson right now. --------------------------------------- (Entrance hall) [GANESH] Indra Ganesh, sir. Junior secretary withthe MOD. I'll be your liaison. [GREEN] Where the hell is he? [GANESH] If we could talk in private, sir. Follow me upstairs. [HARRIET] Excuse me! Harriet Jones. MP for Flydale North. [GANESH] I'm sorry, can it wait? [HARRIET] But I did have an appointment at 3 [GANESH] Yes, and a spaceship crashed in the middle of London. I thinkthe schedule might have changed. --------------------------------------- (Grand staircase) [GANESH] You've heard about the alien body, sir? [GREEN] Never mind that, where is he? Where's the Prime Minister? [GANESH] No one knows, sir. He's disappeared. I have to inform you thatwith the city gridlocked and the Cabinet stranded outside London, thatmakes you acting Prime Minister with immediate effect. [GREEN] Oh, Lord. Oh, hold on. (fart!) Pardon me. It's just a nervousstomach. Anyway. --------------------------------------- (Outer office) [GANESH] Margaret Blaine. She's with MI5. [MARGARET] There's no more information, sir. I personally escorted thePrime Minister from the cabinet room to his car. This is OliverCharles, transport liaison. [CHARLES] The car's disappeared. There's no record of it, sir. Itliterally vanished. [GREEN] Right. Inside. Tell me everything. [GANESH] Er, sir? [GANESH] The emergency protocols. Detailing the actions to be taken bythe government of Great Britain in the event of an alien incursion. [GREEN] Right. Good. (fart!) Blimey. Pardon me. [GREEN] Let's work, eh? --------------------------------------- (Outside the Tyler's flat) [ROSE] And where do you think you're going? [DOCTOR] Nowhere. It's just a bit human in there for me. History justhappened and they're talking about where you can buy dodgy top-up cardsfor half price. I'm off on a wander, that's all. [ROSE] Right. There's a spaceship on the Thames and you're justwandering. [DOCTOR] Nothing to do with me. It's not an invasion. That was a genuinecrash landing. Angle of descent, colour of smoke, everything. It'sperfect. [ROSE] So? [DOCTOR] So maybe this is it. First contact. The day mankind officiallycomes into contact with an alien race. I'm not interfering becauseyou've got to handle this on your own. That's when the human racefinally grows up. Just this morning you were all tiny and small andmade of clay. Now you can expand. [DOCTOR] You don't need me. Go and celebrate history. Spend some timewith your mum. [ROSE] Promise you won't disappear? [DOCTOR] Tell you what. Tardis key. It's about time you had one. See youlater. --------------------------------------- (Powell Estate) [WOMAN] Oi, gorgeous! Come back and join the party! [MICKEY] Oh my God! [MICKEY] Wait, Doctor! Doctor! --------------------------------------- (Outer office) [HARRIET] I bet no one's bought you a coffee. [GANESH] Thank you. [HARRIET] Pleasure. [GANESH] You still can't go in. [HARRIET] Damn. You've seen through my cunning plan. [GANESH] Look, I'm sorry. It's just impossible. [HARRIET] Not even for two minutes? I don't get many chances to walkthese corridors. I'm hardly one of the Babes, just a faithful backbencher. And I know we've had a brave new world land right on ourdoorstep, and that's wonderful. I think that's probably wonderful.Nevertheless, ordinary life keeps ticking away. I need to enter thispaper. [HARRIET] Oh, Mister Green, sir. I know you're busy, but could you putthis on the next Cabinet agenda? [GREEN] What is it? [HARRIET] Cottage hospitals. I've worked out a system whereby cottagehospitals do not have to be excluded from centers of excellence. Yousee, my mother's in the Flydale infirmary. That's my constituency. Tinylittle place, you wouldn't know it, but it's given me a chance to [GREEN] By all the saints, get some perspective, woman! I'm busy. --------------------------------------- (Albion Hospital) [DOCTOR] Shush! --------------------------------------- (Meeting room) [DOCTOR] Defence plan delta! Come on. Move! Move! --------------------------------------- (Mortuary) [SATO] It's alive! [DOCTOR] Spread out. Tell the perimeter it's a lockdown. [SATO] My god. It's still alive. [DOCTOR] Do it! --------------------------------------- (Albion Hospital) [SOLDIER] Mick, Terry, side rooms. Now! [SOLDIER 2] Clear! [SOLDIER 3] Front clear! [SOLDIER] Keep it moving! [SOLDIER 4] Clear! --------------------------------------- (Mortuary) [SATO] I swear it was dead. [DOCTOR] Coma, shock, hibernation, anything. What does it look like? [DOCTOR] It's still here. [DOCTOR] Hello. [DOCTOR] Don't shoot! --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [DOCTOR] What did you do that for? It was scared! It was scared. --------------------------------------- (Cabinet Room) [ASQUITH [OC]] I've got the White House phoning medirect because Downing Street won't answer their calls. This isoutrageous! We haven't even started the vaccination programme. This isappalling. The nations of the world are watching the United Kingdom. [GREEN [OC]] Well, it has all been a bit of a shock. [ASQUITH [OC]] This is the greatest crisis in modern history and you'vedone nothing. Your behaviour has been shameful, sir. You're supposed tobe in charge. We need positive leadership. The capital's ground to ahalt. [ASQUITH] Furthermore, we can only assume that the Prime Minister'sdisappearance is the direct result of hostile alien action, and whathave you been doing? Nothing. [GREEN] Sorry. Sorry. I thought I was Prime Minister now. [ASQUITH] Only by default. [GREEN] Oh, that's not fair. I've been having such fun. [ASQUITH] You think this is fun? [GREEN] It's a hoot, this job. [MARGARET] Honestly, it's super. [CHARLES] Oh, excuse me. (Fart!) Oh! [ASQUITH] What's going on here? Where's the rest of the cabinet? Whyhaven't they been airlifted in? [GREEN] I cancelled it. They'd only get in the way. Oh, there I go. [MARGARET] Oh, and me! I'm shaking my booty. [ASQUITH] Sir! Under Section Five of the emergency protocols, it is myduty to relieve you of command. And by God, I'll put this country undermarshal law if I have to. [GREEN] Oh, I'm scared. I mean, that's hair-raising. I mean, literally.Look! --------------------------------------- (Mortuary) [SATO] I just assumed that's what aliens look like,but you're saying it's an ordinary pig from Earth. [DOCTOR] More like a mermaid. Victorian showmen used to draw the crowdsby taking the skull of a cat, gluing it to a fish and calling it amermaid. Now someone's taken a pig, opened up it's brain, stuck bitson, then they've strapped it in that ship and made it dive bomb. Itmust've been terrified. They've taken this animal and turned it into ajoke. [SATO] So it's a fake, a pretend, like the mermaid. But the technologyaugmenting its brain, it's like nothing on Earth. It's alien. Aliensare faking aliens. But why would they do that? Doctor? --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [SATO] Doctor? --------------------------------------- (The Tyler's flat) [JACKIE] Here's to the Martians! [ALL] The Martians! [TELEVISION] Crisis, with no head of state. Since the Royal Family havebeen evacuated [ROSE] I was going to come and see you. [RU] Someone owes Mickey an apology. [ROSE] I'm sorry. [RU] Not you. [JACKIE] Well, it's not my fault. Be fair. What was I supposed to think? [TELEVISION] Designate, though she insists this was a matter for theelectorate. --------------------------------------- (The Tyler's kitchen) [MICKEY] You disappear, who do they turn to? Yourboyfriend. Five times I was taken in for questioning. Five times. Noevidence. Course, there couldn't be, could there? And then I get her,your mother, whispering around the estate, pointing the finger. Stuffthrough my letterbox, and all 'cos of you. [ROSE] I didn't think I'd be gone so long. [MICKEY] And I waited for you, Rose. Twelve months, waiting for you andthe Doctor to come back. [JACKIE] Hold on. You knew about the Doctor? Why didn't you tell me? [MICKEY] Yeah, yeah. Why not, Rose? Huh? How could I tell her where youwent? [JACKIE] Tell me now. [MICKEY] I might as well, 'cos you're stuck here. The Doctor's gone.Just now. That box thing just faded away. [ROSE] What do you mean? [MICKEY] He's left you. Some boyfriend he turned out to be. --------------------------------------- (Powell Estate) [ROSE] He wouldn't just go, he promised me. [MICKEY] Oh, he's dumped you, Rose. Sailed off into space. How does itfeel, huh? Now you are left behind with the rest of us Earthlings. Getused to it. [ROSE] He would have said. [JACKIE] What're you two chimps going on about? What's going on? What'sthis Doctor done now? [MICKEY] Ho, ho, ho. He's vamoosed. [ROSE] He's not, because he gave me this. He's not my boyfriend, Mickey.He's better than that. He's much more important than [ROSE] I said so. Mum! Mum, go inside. Mum, don't stand there, just goinside. Just, Mum, go. Oh, blimey. [MICKEY] Huh? [JACKIE] How'd you do that, then? --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] All right, so I lied. I went and had alook. But the whole crash landing's a fake. I thought so. Just tooperfect. I mean, hitting Big Ben. Come on, so I thought let's go andhave a look [ROSE] My mum's here. [DOCTOR] Oh, that's just what I need. Don't you dare make this placedomestic. [MICKEY] You ruined my life, Doctor. They thought she was dead. I was amurder suspect because of you. [DOCTOR] You see what I mean? Domestic. [MICKEY] I bet you don't even remember my name. [DOCTOR] Ricky. [MICKEY] It's Mickey. [DOCTOR] No, it's Ricky. [MICKEY] I think I know my own name. [DOCTOR] You think you know your own name? How stupid are you? [ROSE] Mum, don't! Don't go anywhere. Don't start a fight! --------------------------------------- (Powell Estate) [ROSE] Mum, it's not like that. He's not. I'll be up in a minute. Holdon! --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [ROSE] That was a real spaceship. [DOCTOR] Yep. [ROSE] So it's all a pack of lies? What is it, then? Are they invading? [MICKEY] Funny way to invade, putting the world on red alert. [DOCTOR] Good point! So, what're they up to? --------------------------------------- (Jackie's bedroom) [TELEVISION] As the crisis continues and thegovernment shows remarkable lack of leadership, paranoia sweeps thecountry. There've been at least three reports of public assaults onpeople falsely identified as aliens. Now back to Tom Hitchinson. [HITCHINSON [on TV]] Are there more ships to come? And what is theirintention? The authorities are now asking if anyone knows anything. Ifany previous sighting has been made, then call this number. We needyour help. [TELEVISION] Tonight, the London Institute of Psychology is warning thatincidents of violence [JACKIE] Yes, I've seen one. I really have. An alien. And she's withhim. My daughter, she's with him. And she's not safe. Oh, my God. She'snot safe. I've seen an alien, and I know his name. He's called theDoctor. [JACKIE] It's a box. A blue box. She called it a Tardis. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [MICKEY] So, what're you doing down there? [DOCTOR] Ricky. [MICKEY] Mickey. [DOCTOR] Ricky. If I was to tell you what I was doing to the controls ofmy frankly magnificent time ship, would you even begin to understand? [MICKEY] I suppose not. [DOCTOR] Well, shut it, then. [MICKEY] Some friend you've got. [ROSE] He's winding you up. I am sorry. [MICKEY] Okay. [ROSE] I am, though. [MICKEY] Every day, I looked. On every street corner, wherever I went,looking for a blue box for a whole year. [ROSE] It's only been a few days for me. I don't know. It's, it's hardto tell inside this thing but I swear it's just a few days since I leftyou. [MICKEY] Not enough time to miss me, then? [ROSE] I did miss you. [MICKEY] I missed you. [ROSE] So, er, in twelve months, have you been seeing anyone else? [MICKEY] No. [ROSE] Okay. [MICKEY] Mainly because everyone thinks I murdered you. [ROSE] Right. [MICKEY] So, now that you've come back, are you going to stay? [DOCTOR] Got it! Ha, ha! Patched in the radar, looped it back twelvehours so we can follow the flight of that spaceship. Here we go. Holdon. Come on. [DOCTOR] That's the spaceship on its way to Earth, see? Except. Hold on.See? The spaceship did a sling shot round the Earth before it landed. [ROSE] What does that mean? [DOCTOR] It means it came from Earth in the first place. It went up andcame back down. Whoever those aliens are, they haven't just arrived,they've been here for a while. The question is, what have they beendoing? --------------------------------------- (Cabinet Room) [ASQUITH] What do you think? How's the compression? I think I've got toomuch ballast round the middle. (Fart!) Oh, that's better. [MARGARET] We've really got to fix the gas exchange. It's gettingridiculous. [GREEN] I don't know. Seems very human to me. Ah, better get rid of hisskin. [ASQUITH] Shame. I quite enjoyed being Oliver. He had a wife, amistress, and a young farmer. [ASQUITH] God, I was busy. [GREEN] Back to work. [ASQUITH] I have an army to command. [MARGARET] Careful, now. We're not there yet. --------------------------------------- (Outer office) [GANESH] General Asquith! Sir, we've had a priorityalarm. It's code nine. Confirmed code nine. [ASQUITH] Right. Good. --------------------------------------- (Cabinet Room) (Outer office) [ASQUITH] Which would mean? [GANESH] In the event of the emergency protocols being activated, we'vegot software that automatically searches all communications for keywords, and one of those words is Doctor. I think we've found him, sir. [MARGARET] What sort of doctor? Who is he? [GANESH] Well, evidently he's some sort of expert in extra-terrestrialaffairs. The ultimate expert. And we need him, sir. We need him hereright now! --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [MICKEY] How many channels do you get? [DOCTOR] All the basic packages. [MICKEY] You get sports channels? [DOCTOR] Yes, I get the football. Hold on, I know that lot. [WOMAN [OC]] It is looking likely that the Government's bringing inalien specialists - those people who have devoted their lives tostudying outer space. [DOCTOR] UNIT. United Nations Intelligence Taskforce. Good people. [ROSE] How do you know them? [MICKEY] 'Cos he's worked for them. Oh yeah, don't think I sat on mybackside for twelve months, Doctor. I read up on you. You look deepenough on the Internet or in the history books, and there's his name,followed by a list of the dead. [DOCTOR] That's nice. Good boy, Ricky. [ROSE] If you know them, why don't you go and help? [DOCTOR] They wouldn't recognise me. I've changed a lot since the olddays. Besides, the world's on a knife-edge. There's aliens out thereand fake aliens. We want to keep this alien out of the mix. I'm goingundercover. And er, I'd better keep the Tardis out of sight. Ricky,you've got a car. You can do some driving. [MICKEY] Where to? [DOCTOR] The roads are clearing. Let's go and have a look at thatspaceship. --------------------------------------- (Powell Estate) [POLICE] Do not move! Step away from the box and raise your hands aboveyour heads. [JACKIE] Rose! [JACKIE] Rose! [POLICE] Raise your hands above your head. You are under arrest. [DOCTOR] Take me to your leader. --------------------------------------- (Police car) [ROSE] This is a bit posh. If I knew it was going tobe like this, being arrested, I would have done it years ago. [DOCTOR] We're not being arrested, we're being escorted. [ROSE] Where to? [DOCTOR] Where'd you think? Downing Street. [ROSE] You're kidding. [DOCTOR] I'm not. [ROSE] 10 Downing Street? [DOCTOR] That's the one. [ROSE] Oh, my God. I'm going to 10 Downing Street? How come? [DOCTOR] I hate to say it, but Mickey was right. Over the years I'vevisited this planet a lot of times, and I've been, er, noticed. [ROSE] Now they need you? [DOCTOR] Like it said on the news. They're gathering experts in alienknowledge. And who's the biggest expert of the lot? [ROSE] Patrick Moore? [DOCTOR] Apart from him. [ROSE] Oh, don't you just love it. [DOCTOR] I'm telling you. Lloyd George, he used to drink me under thetable. Who's the Prime Minister now? [ROSE] How should I know? I missed a year. --------------------------------------- (Downing Street) [ROSE] Oh, my God. --------------------------------------- (The Tyler's flat) [JACKIE] So, she's all right then? She's not in anytrouble? [STRICKLAND] Well, all I can say is, your daughter and her companionmight be in a position to help the country. We'll need to know how shemade contact with this man, if he is a man. [STRICKLAND] Oof. Right, off you go then. I need to talk with Mrs Tyleron my own, thank you. --------------------------------------- (Waiting room) [HARRIET] Harriet Jones, MP Flydale North. [GANESH] Ladies and gentlemen, can we convene? Quick as we can, please.It's this way on the right, and can I remind you ID cards are to beworn at all times. [GANESH] Here's your ID card. I'm sorry, your companion doesn't haveclearance. [DOCTOR] I don't go anywhere without her. [GANESH] You're the code nine, not her. I'm sorry, Doctor. It is theDoctor, isn't it? She'll have to stay outside. [DOCTOR] She's staying with me. [GANESH] Look, even I don't have clearance to go in there. I can't lether in and that's a fact. [ROSE] It's all right. You go. [HARRIET] Excuse me. Are you the Doctor? [DOCTOR] Sure. [GANESH] Not now. We're busy. Can't you go home? [HARRIET] I just need a word in private. [DOCTOR] I suppose so. Don't get in any trouble. [GANESH] You haven't got clearance. Now leave it. (to Rose) I'm going tohave to leave you with security. [HARRIET] It's all right. I'll look after her. Let me be of some use.(to Rose) Walk with me. Just keep walking. --------------------------------------- (Entrance hall) [HARRIET] That's right. Don't look round. HarrietJones, MP Flydale North. [HARRIET] This friend of yours, he's an expert, is that right? He knowsabout aliens? [ROSE] Why do you want to know? --------------------------------------- (Briefing room) [ASQUITH] Now, ladies and gentlemen, if I could haveyour attention, please. As you can see from the summaries in front ofyou, the ship had one porcine occupant. [DOCTOR] Of course, the really interesting bit happened three days ago,see, filed away under Any Other Business. The North Sea. A satellitedetected a signal, a little blip of radiation, at one hundred fathoms,like there's something down there. You were just about to investigateand the next thing you know, this happens. Spaceships, pigs, massivediversion. From what? --------------------------------------- (Cabinet Room) [HARRIET] They turned the body into a suit. Adisguise for the thing inside! [ROSE] It's all right. I believe you. It's, it's alien. They must havesome serious technology behind this. If we could find it, we could useit. [ROSE] Oh, my God! Is that the [GANESH] Harriet, for God's sake. This has gone beyond a joke. Youcannot just wander. Oh, my God. That's the Prime Minister! --------------------------------------- (Briefing room) [DOCTOR] If aliens fake an alien crash and an alienpilot, what do they get? Us. They get us. It's not a diversion, it's atrap. --------------------------------------- (Cabinet Room) [MARGARET] Oh! Has someone been naughty? --------------------------------------- (The Tyler's flat) [JACKIE] It was bigger on the inside. I don't know.What do I know about spaceships? [STRICKLAND] That's what worries me. You see, this man is classified astrouble. Which means that anyone associated with him is trouble. Andthat's my job. [STRICKLAND] Eliminating trouble. --------------------------------------- (Cabinet office) [GANESH] That's impossible. He left this afternoon.The Prime Minister left Downing Street. He was driven away! [MARGARET] And who told you that, hmm? Me. --------------------------------------- (Briefing room) [DOCTOR] This is all about us. Alien experts. Theonly people with knowledge how to fight them gathered together in oneroom. [DOCTOR] Excuse me, do you mind not farting while I'm saving the world? [GREEN] Would you rather silent but deadly? [ASQUITH] We are the Slitheen. [GREEN] Thank you all for wearing your ID cards. They'll help toidentify the bodies.

Doctor Who (23 Apr, 2005; Ninth Doctor) - World War Three (Briefing room) [DOCTOR] Deadly to humans, maybe. --------------------------------------- (The Tyler's flat) [MICKEY] Jackie! --------------------------------------- (Entrance hall) [DOCTOR] Oi! If you want aliens, you've got them.They're inside Downing Street. Come on! --------------------------------------- (Briefing room) [ASQUITH] Reinstate my disguise. Hurry up! Hurry! Hurry! --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [HARRIET] No, wait. They're still in there. Theemergency protocols. We need them. --------------------------------------- (Briefing room) [GREEN] Where have you been? I called for help. I sounded the alarm.There was this lightening, this kind of, er, electricity, and they allcollapsed. [PRICE] I think they're all dead. [GREEN] That's what I'm saying. He did it! That man there. [DOCTOR] I think you will find the Prime Minister is an alien indisguise. That's never going to work, is it? [POLICEMAN 2] No. [DOCTOR] Fair enough. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [ASQUITH] Under the jurisdiction of the Emergency Protocols, I authoriseyou to execute this man. [DOCTOR] Well, now, yes, you see, er, the thing is, if I was you, if Iwas going to execute someone by backing them against the wall, betweenyou and me, little word of advice. [DOCTOR] Don't stand them against the lift! --------------------------------------- (First floor) [DOCTOR] Hello! --------------------------------------- (Sitting room) [ROSE] Hide! --------------------------------------- (Corridor by the lift) [ASQUITH] I repeat, the upper floors are underquarantine. You will stay where you are. You will disregard allprevious instructions. You will take your orders directly from me. [PRICE] Mister Green, sir. I'm sorry but you've got to come with me. Weshould evacuate the entire building. [GREEN] Sergeant, have you read the Emergency Protocols? [PRICE] No, sir. [GREEN] Then don't question me. Seal off Number 10, secure the groundfloor, and if the Doctor makes it downstairs - shoot on sight! [PRICE] Well, you heard him. Move out! --------------------------------------- (Lift) [ASQUITH] Let the sport begin. (Fart!) [GREEN] I'm getting poisoned by the gas exchange. I need to be naked. [ASQUITH] Rejoice in it. Your body is magnificent. --------------------------------------- (Sitting room) [MARGARET] Oh, such fun. Little human children, where are you? Sweetlittle humeykins, come to me. Let me kiss you better. Kiss you with mybig, green lips. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [GREEN] It does us good to hunt. Purifies the blood. [ASQUITH] We'll keep this floor quarantined as our last hunting groundbefore the final phase. --------------------------------------- (Sitting room) [MARGARET] My brothers. [GREEN] Happy hunting? [MARGARET] It's wonderful. The more you prolong it, the more they stink. [ASQUITH] Sweat and fear. [GREEN] I can smell an old girl. Stale bird and brittle bones. [MARGARET] And a ripe youngster, all hormones and adrenalin. Freshenough to bend before she snaps. [HARRIET] No! Take me first! Take me! [DOCTOR] Out, with me! [DOCTOR] Who the hell are you? [HARRIET] Harriet Jones, MP for Flydale North. [DOCTOR] Nice to meet you. [HARRIET] Likewise. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [DOCTOR] We need to head to the Cabinet Room. [HARRIET] The Emergency Protocols are in there. They give instructionsfor aliens. [DOCTOR] Harriet Jones, I like you. [HARRIET] And I like you too. --------------------------------------- (Cabinet Room) [DOCTOR] One more move and my sonic device will triplicate theflammability of this alcohol. Whoof, we all go up. So back off. [DOCTOR] Right then. Question time. Who exactly are the Slitheen? [HARRIET] They're aliens. [DOCTOR] Yes. I got that, thanks. [GREEN] Who are you, if not human? [HARRIET] Who's not human? [ROSE] He's not human. [HARRIET] He's not human? [DOCTOR] Can I have a bit of hush? [HARRIET] Sorry. [DOCTOR] So, what's the plan? [HARRIET] But he's got a Northern accent. [ROSE] Lots of planets have a north. [DOCTOR] I said hush. Come on. You've got a spaceship hidden in theNorth Sea. It's transmitting a signal. You've murdered your way to thetop of government. What for, invasion? [ASQUITH] Why would we invade this God-forsaken rock? [DOCTOR] Then something's brought the Slitheen race here. What is it? [ASQUITH] The Slitheen race? [GREEN] Slitheen is not our species. Slitheen is our surname. JocrassaFel Fotch Pasameer-Day-Slitheen at your service. [DOCTOR] So, you're family. [GREEN] A family business. [DOCTOR] Then you're out to make a profit. How can you do that on aGod-forsaken rock? [ASQUITH] Ah, excuse me? Your device will do what? Triplicate theflammability? [DOCTOR] Is that what I said? [ASQUITH] You're making it up. [DOCTOR] Ah, well! Nice try. Harriet, have a drink. I think you're gonnaneed it. [HARRIET] You pass it to the left first. [DOCTOR] Sorry. [ROSE] Thanks. [ASQUITH] Now we can end this hunt with a slaughter. [ROSE] Don't you think we should run? [DOCTOR] Fascinating history, Downing Street. Two thousand years ago,this was marsh land. 1730, it was occupied by a Mister Chicken. He wasa nice man. 1796, this was the Cabinet Room. If the Cabinet's insession and in danger, these are about the four most safest walls inthe whole of Great Britain. End of lesson. [DOCTOR] Installed in 1991. Three inches of steel lining every singlewall. They'll never get in. [ROSE] And how do we get out? [DOCTOR] Ah. --------------------------------------- (Outer office) [GREEN] He's safely contained. Now, cut offcommunications inside that room, then summon the family. It's time wefinished with this insane planet for good. --------------------------------------- (Downing Street) [ANDREW MARR] And there's still no word from insideDowning Street, though we are getting even more new arrivals. That'sgroup Captain Tennant James of the RAF, though why he's been summonedwe've no idea. And that's Ewan McAllister, Deputy Secretary for theScottish Parliament. And this is most unusual. I'm told that is SylviaDillane, Chairman of the North Sea Boating Club. Quite what connectsthese people, we have no idea. --------------------------------------- (Entrance hall) [MARGARET] Group Captain. Delighted you could make it. We're meetingupstairs. (Fart!) That's the spirit. Off you go. Good to see you. Comeon through. [ASQUITH] Ah, Sergeant. Now that the Doctor's been neutralised, theupper levels are out of bounds to everyone. [SERGEANT] Then who are they? [ASQUITH] Need to know, Sergeant. Need to know. I want you to liaisewith Communications. The acting Prime Minister will be making a publicaddress. He will speak to the nations of the world. --------------------------------------- (Cloak room) [MARGARET] There you are. If you'd just like to go through and getchanged. [MARGARET] Now, if you'd like to head down to the end of the corridor,it's first on the left. [JAMES] Thank you. --------------------------------------- (Mickey's flat) [JACKIE] Got anything stronger? [MICKEY] No chance. I've seen you when you've had a few. This ain't timefor a conga. [JACKIE] We've got to tell someone. [MICKEY] Who do we trust? For all we know, they've all got big bogmonsters inside of them. I mean, this is what he does, Jacks, thatDoctor bloke. Everywhere he goes, death and destruction, and he's gotRose in the middle of it. [JACKIE] Has he got a great big green thing inside him, then? [MICKEY] I wouldn't put it past him. But like it or not, he's the onlyperson who knows how to fight these things. [JACKIE] I thought I was going to die. [MICKEY] Come on, yeah? If anyone's going to cry, it's going to be me.Now, you're safe in my flat, Jacks. No one'sgoing To look for you here, especially since you hate me so much. [JACKIE] You saved my life. God, that's embarrassing. [MICKEY] You're telling me. [JACKIE] He wanted me dead. And he's still out there, Mickey. Thatpoliceman. That thing. --------------------------------------- (Powell Estate) [STRICKLAND] Right, you head off. Inform Control I have got one or twothings that still need doing. I haven't quite finished with Mrs Tyleryet. --------------------------------------- (Cloak room) [McALLISTER] Soon. [GREEN] Oh yes, soon. [GREEN] Is that all of us? [MARGARET] All the family except Sip Fel Fotch. He's found a hunt of hisown. [GREEN] Ah! --------------------------------------- (Cabinet Room) [DOCTOR] What was his name? [HARRIET] Who? [DOCTOR] This one. The secretary or whatever he was called. [HARRIET] I don't know. I talked to him. I brought him a cup of coffee.I never asked his name. [DOCTOR] Sorry. Right, what have we got? Any terminals, anything? [ROSE] No. This place is antique. What I don't get is, when they killedthe Prime Minister, why didn't they use him as a disguise? [DOCTOR] He's too slim. They're big old beasts. They need to fit insidebig humans. [ROSE] But the Slitheen are about eight feet. How do they fit inside? [DOCTOR] That's the device around their necks. Compression field.Literally shrinks them down a bit. That's why there's all that gas.It's a big exchange. [ROSE] Wish I had a compression field. I could fit a size smaller. [HARRIET] Excuse me, people are dead! This is not the time for makingjokes. [ROSE] Sorry. You get used to this stuff when you're friends with him. [HARRIET] Well, that's a strange friendship. [DOCTOR] Harriet Jones. I've heard that name before. Harriet Jones.You're not famous for anything, are you? [HARRIET] Oh, hardly. [DOCTOR] Rings a bell. Harriet Jones? [HARRIET] Lifelong backbencher I'm afraid, and a fat lot of use I'mbeing now. The Protocols are redundant. They listthe people who could help and they're all dead downstairs. [ROSE] Hasn't it got, like, defence codes and things? Couldn't we justlaunch a nuclear bomb at them? [HARRIET] You're a very violent young woman. [ROSE] I'm serious. We could. [HARRIET] Well, there's nothing like that in here. Nuclear strikes doneed a release code, yes, but it's kept secret by the United Nations. [DOCTOR] Say that again. [HARRIET] What, about the codes? [DOCTOR] Anything. All of it. [HARRIET] Well, the British Isles can't gain access to atomic weaponswithout a Special Resolution from the UN. [ROSE] Like that's ever stopped them. [HARRIET] Exactly, given our past record. And I voted against that,thank you very much. The codes have been taken out of the government'shands and given to the UN. Is it important? [DOCTOR] Everything's important. [HARRIET] If we only knew what the Slitheen wanted. Listen to me. I'msaying Slitheen as if it's normal. [ROSE] What do they want, though? [DOCTOR] Well, they're just one family, so it's not an invasion. Theydon't want Slitheen World They're out to make money. That means theywant to use something. Something here on Earth. Some kind of asset. [HARRIET] Like what, gold? Oil? Water? [DOCTOR] You're very good at this. [HARRIET] Thank you. [DOCTOR] Harriet Jones. Why do I know that name? [ROSE] Oh, that's me. [HARRIET] But we're sealed off. How did you get a signal? [ROSE] He zapped it. Super phone. [HARRIET] Then we can phone for help. You must have contacts. [DOCTOR] Dead downstairs, yeah. [ROSE] It's Mickey. [DOCTOR] Oh, tell your stupid boyfriend we're busy. [ROSE] Yeah, he's not so stupid after all. --------------------------------------- (Mickey's flat) [MICKEY] No, no, no, no, no. Not just alien, but like, proper alien. Allstinking, and wet, and disgusting. And more to the point, it wanted tokill us! [JACKIE] I could've died! --------------------------------------- (Cabinet Room) [ROSE] Is she all right, though? Don't put her on,just tell me. [DOCTOR] Is that Ricky? Don't talk, just shut up and go to yourcomputer. --------------------------------------- (Mickey's flat) [MICKEY] It's Mickey, and why should I? [DOCTOR [OC]] Mickey the Idiot, I might just choke --------------------------------------- (Cabinet Room) [DOCTOR] Before I finish this sentence, but, er, Ineed you. --------------------------------------- (Mickey's flat) [MICKEY] It says password. --------------------------------------- (Cabinet Room) [DOCTOR] Say again. [MICKEY] It's asking for the password. [DOCTOR] Buffalo. Two Fs, one L. --------------------------------------- (Mickey's flat) [JACKIE] So, what's that website?

[DOCTOR] Mickey, you were born in the dark. --------------------------------------- (Mickey's flat) [ROSE [OC]] Oh, leave him alone. [MICKEY] Thank you. Password again. --------------------------------------- (Cabinet Room) [DOCTOR] Just repeat it every time. [DOCTOR] Big Ben - why did the Slitheen go and hit Big Ben? [HARRIET] You said to gather the experts, to kill them. [DOCTOR] That lot would've gathered for a weather balloon. You don'tneed to crash land in the middle of London. [ROSE] The Slitheen are hiding, but then they put the entire planet onRed alert. --------------------------------------- (Mickey's flat) [ROSE [OC]] What would they do that for? [JACKIE] Oh, listen to her. --------------------------------------- (Cabinet Room) [ROSE] At least I'm trying. --------------------------------------- (Mickey's flat) [JACKIE] Well, I've got a question, if you don'tmind. --------------------------------------- (Cabinet Room) [JACKIE [OC]] Since that man walked into our lives,I have been attacked --------------------------------------- (Mickey's flat) [JACKIE] In the streets. I have had creatures fromthe pits of hell --------------------------------------- (Cabinet Room) [JACKIE [OC]] In my own living room, and my daughterdisappear off the face of the Earth. [ROSE] I told you what happened. --------------------------------------- (Mickey's flat) [JACKIE] I'm talking to him. 'Cos I've seen thislife of yours, Doctor. --------------------------------------- (Cabinet Room) [JACKIE [OC]] And maybe you get off on it, and maybeyou think it's all clever and smart, but you tell me. --------------------------------------- (Mickey's flat) [JACKIE] Just answer me this. Is my daughter safe? --------------------------------------- (Cabinet Room) [ROSE] I'm fine. [JACKIE] Is she safe? --------------------------------------- (Mickey's flat) [JACKIE] Will she always be safe? Can you promise methat? --------------------------------------- (Cabinet Room) [JACKIE [OC]] Well, what's the answer? --------------------------------------- (Mickey's flat) [MICKEY] We're in. --------------------------------------- (Cabinet Room) [DOCTOR] Now then, on the left at the top, there's atab, an icon. Little concentric circles.

Now hush, let me work outwhat it's saying. --------------------------------------- (Mickey's flat) [JACKIE] He'll have to answer me one day. [MICKEY] Hush! --------------------------------------- (Cabinet Room) [DOCTOR] It's some sort of message. [ROSE] What's it say? [DOCTOR] Don't know. It's on a loop, keeps repeating. [DOCTOR] Hush! --------------------------------------- (Mickey's flat) [MICKEY] That's not me. Go and see who that is. [JACKIE] It's three o'clock in the morning.

You're supposed to be the expert, think of something! [DOCTOR] I'm trying! --------------------------------------- (Mickey's flat) [MICKEY] I'll take it on, Jackie. You just run.Don't look back. --------------------------------------- (Cabinet Room) [MICKEY [OC]] Just run. [ROSE] That's my mother. [DOCTOR] Right, If we're going to find their weakness, we need to findout where they're from. Which planet. So, judging by their basic shape,that narrows it down to five thousand planets within travellingdistance. What else do we know about them? Information! [ROSE] They're green.

[GREEN] That's the last piece of luck anyone on this rock will everhave. --------------------------------------- (Downing Street) [GREEN] Ladies and gentlemen, nations of the world, humankind. Thegreatest experts in extra-terrestrial events came here tonight. Theygathered in the common cause, but the news I bring you now is graveindeed. --------------------------------------- (Mickey's flat) [GREEN [on TV]] The experts are dead, murdered rightin front of me by alien hands. Peoples of the Earth, heed my words.These visitors do not come in peace. [MICKEY] Listen to this. [GREEN [on TV]] Our inspectors have searched the sky above our heads --------------------------------------- (Downing Street) [GREEN] And they have found massive weapons ofdestruction --------------------------------------- (Cabinet Room) [GREEN [OC]] Capable of being deployed within fortyfive seconds. [DOCTOR] What? --------------------------------------- (Downing Street) [GREEN] Our technicians can baffle the alien probes,but not for long. --------------------------------------- (Cabinet Room) [GREEN [OC]] We are facing extinction, unless westrike first. --------------------------------------- (Mickey's flat) [GREEN [OC]] The United Kingdom stands directlybeneath the belly of the mother ship. --------------------------------------- (Downing Street) [GREEN] I beg of the United Nations, pass anemergency resolution.

There's no weapons upthere, there's no threat. He just invented it. [HARRIET] Do you think they'll believe him? [ROSE] They did last time. [DOCTOR] That's why the Slitheen went for spectacle. They want the wholeworld panicking, because you lot, you get scared, you lash out. [ROSE] They release the defence code [DOCTOR] And the Slitheen go nuclear. [HARRIET] But why? [DOCTOR] You get the codes, release the missiles, but not into spacebecause there's nothing there. You attack every other country on Earth.They retaliate, fight back. World War Three. Whole planet gets nuked. [MARGARET] And we can sit through it safe in our spaceship waiting inthe Thames. Not crashed, just parked. Only two minutes away. [HARRIET] But you'll destroy the planet, this beautiful place. What for? [DOCTOR] Profit. That's what the signal is beaming into space. Anadvert. [MARGARET] The sale of the century. We reduce the Earth to molten slag,then sell it piece by piece. Radioactive chucks, capable of poweringevery cut-price star liner and budget cargo ship. There's a recessionout there, Doctor. People are buying cheap. This rock becomes raw fuel. [DOCTOR] At the cost of five billion lives. [MARGARET] Bargain. [DOCTOR] I give you a choice. Leave this planet or I'll stop you. [MARGARET] What, you? Trapped in your box? [DOCTOR] Yes. Me. --------------------------------------- (Westminster Bridge) [HITCHINSON] Yesterday saw the start of a brave new world.

I'm not saying I trustyou, but there must be something you can do. --------------------------------------- (Cabinet Room) [HARRIET] If we could ferment the port, we couldmake acetic acid. [ROSE] Mickey, any luck? [MICKEY] There's loads of emergency numbers. They're all on voicemail. [HARRIET] Voicemail dooms us all. [ROSE] If we could just get out of here. [DOCTOR] There's a way out. [ROSE] What? [DOCTOR] There's always been a way out. [ROSE] Then why don't we use it?

Graffiti that again and I'll have you. Now, beat it. [MICKEY] I just went down the shop, and I was thinking, you know, likethe whole world's changed. Aliens and spaceships all in public. Andhere it is. [MICKEY] How could they do that? They saw it. [DOCTOR] They're just not ready. You're happy to believe in somethingthat's invisible, but if it's staring you in the face, nope, can't seeit. There's a scientific explanation for that. You're thick. [MICKEY] We're just idiots. [DOCTOR] Well, not all of you. [MICKEY] Yeah? [DOCTOR] Present for you, Mickey. [DOCTOR] That's a virus. Put it online. It'll destroy every mention ofme. I'll cease to exist. [MICKEY] What do you want to do that for? [DOCTOR] Because you're right, I am dangerous. I don't want anybodyfollowing me. [MICKEY] How can you say that and then take her with you? [DOCTOR] You could look after her. Come with us. [MICKEY] I can't. This life of yours, it's just too much. I couldn't doit. Don't tell her I said that. [JACKIE] I'll get a proper job. I'll work weekends. I'll pass my test,and if Jim comes round again, I'll say no. I really will. [ROSE] I'm not leaving because of you. I'm travelling, that's all, andthen I'll come back. [JACKIE] But it's not safe. [ROSE] Mum, if you saw it out there you'd never stay home. [DOCTOR] Got enough stuff? [ROSE] Last time I stepped in there, it was spur of the moment. Now I'msigning up. You're stuck with me. [ROSE] Come with us. There's plenty of room. [DOCTOR] No chance. He's a liability, I'm not having him on board. [ROSE] We'd be dead without him. [DOCTOR] My decision is final. [ROSE] Sorry. [MICKEY] Good luck, yeah. [JACKIE] You still can't promise me. What if she gets lost? What ifsomething happens to you, Doctor, and she's left all alone standing onsome moon a million light years away. How long do I wait then? [ROSE] Mum, you're forgetting. It's a time machine. I could gotravelling around suns and planets and all the way out to the edge ofthe universe, and by the time I get back, yeah, ten seconds would havepassed. Just ten seconds. So stop worrying. See you in ten seconds'time, yeah? [JACKIE] Ten seconds.

Is it talking? --------------------------------------- (Cage) [SIMMONS] Not exactly talking, no. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [GODDARD] Then what's it doing? --------------------------------------- (Cage) [SIMMONS] Screaming. Is that any good? --------------------------------------- (Office) [ADAM] And this is the last. Paid eight hundred thousand dollars for it. [VAN STATTEN] What does it do? [ADAM] Well, you see the tubes on the side? It must be to channelsomething. I think maybe fuel. [DOCTOR] I really wouldn't hold it like that. [GODDARD] Shut it. [DOCTOR] Really, though, that's wrong. [ADAM] Is it dangerous? [DOCTOR] No, it just looks silly. [DOCTOR] You just need to be [DOCTOR] Delicate. [VAN STATTEN] It's a musical instrument. [DOCTOR] And it's a long way from home. [VAN STATTEN] Here, let me. [DOCTOR] I did say delicate. It reacts to the smallest fingerprint. Itneeds precision. [DOCTOR] Very good. Quite the expert. [VAN STATTEN] As are you. [VAN STATTEN] Who exactly are you? [DOCTOR] I'm the Doctor. And who are you? [VAN STATTEN] Like you don't know. We're hidden away with the mostvaluable collection of extra-terrestrial artefacts in the world, andyou just stumbled in by mistake. [DOCTOR] Pretty much sums me up, yeah. [VAN STATTEN] The question is, how did you get in? Fifty three floorsdown, with your little cat burglar accomplice. You're quite a collectoryourself, she's rather pretty. [ROSE] She's going to smack you if you keep calling her she. [VAN STATTEN] She's English too! Hey, little Lord Fauntleroy. Got you agirlfriend. [ADAM] This is Mister Henry Van Statten. [ROSE] And who's he when he's at home? [ADAM] Mister Van Statten owns the internet. [ROSE] Don't be stupid. No one owns the internet. [VAN STATTEN] And let's just keep the whole world thinking that way,right kids? [DOCTOR] So you're just about an expert in everything except the thingsin your museum. Anything you don't understand, you lock up. [VAN STATTEN] And you claim greater knowledge? [DOCTOR] I don't need to make claims, I know how good I am. [VAN STATTEN] And yet, I captured you. Right next to the Cage. What wereyou doing down there? [DOCTOR] You tell me. [VAN STATTEN] The cage contains my one living specimen. [DOCTOR] And what's that? [VAN STATTEN] Like you don't know. [DOCTOR] Show me. [VAN STATTEN] You want to see it? [ROSE] Blimey, you can smell the testosterone. [VAN STATTEN] Goddard, inform the Cage we're heading down. You, English.Look after the girl. Go and canoodle or spoon or whatever it is youBritish do. And you, Doctor with no name, come and see my pet. --------------------------------------- (Outside the Cage) [VAN STATTEN] We've tried everything. The creaturehas shielded itself but there's definite signs of life inside. [DOCTOR] Inside? Inside what? [SIMMONS] Welcome back, sir. I've had to take the power down. TheMetaltron is resting. [DOCTOR] Metaltron? [VAN STATTEN] Thought of it myself. Good, isn't it? Although I'd much toprefer to find out it's real name. [SIMMONS] Here, you'd better put these on. (gauntlets) The last guy thattouched it burst into flames. [DOCTOR] I won't touch it then. [VAN STATTEN] Go ahead, Doctor. Impress me. [VAN STATTEN] Don't open that door until we get a result. --------------------------------------- (Cage) [DOCTOR] Look, I'm sorry about this. Mister Van Statten might think he'sclever, but never mind him. I've come to help. I'm the Doctor. [METALTRON] Doc Tor? [DOCTOR] Impossible. [METALTRON] The Doctor? [DALEK] Exterminate! Exterminate! [DOCTOR] Let me out! [DALEK] Exterminate! --------------------------------------- (Outside the Cage) [GODDARD] Sir, it's going to kill him. [VAN STATTEN] It's talking! --------------------------------------- (Cage) [DALEK] You are an enemy of the Daleks! You must bedestroyed! [DOCTOR] It's not working. [DOCTOR] Fantastic! Oh, fantastic! Powerless! Look at you. The greatspace dustbin. How does it feel? [DALEK] Keep back! [DOCTOR] What for? What're you going to do to me? If you can't kill,then what are you good for, Dalek? What's the point of you? You'renothing. --------------------------------------- (Outside the Cage) [DOCTOR [on monitor]] What the hell are you herefor? [DALEK [on monitor]] I am waiting for orders. --------------------------------------- (Cage) [DOCTOR] What does that mean? [DALEK] I am a soldier. I was bred to receive orders. [DOCTOR] Well you're never going to get any. Not ever. [DALEK] I demand orders! [DOCTOR] They're never going to come! Your race is dead! You all burnt,all of you. Ten million ships on fire. The entire Dalek race wiped outin one second. [DALEK] You lie! [DOCTOR] I watched it happen. I made it happen. [DALEK] You destroyed us? [DOCTOR] I had no choice. [DALEK] And what of the Time Lords? [DOCTOR] Dead. They burnt with you. The end of the last great Time War.Everyone lost. [DALEK] And the coward survived. [DOCTOR] Oh, and I caught your little signal. Help me. Poor littlething. But there's no one else coming 'cause there's no one else left. [DALEK] I am alone in the universe. [DOCTOR] Yep. [DALEK] So are you. We are the same. [DOCTOR] We're not the same! I'm not (pause) No, wait. Maybe we are.You're right. Yeah, okay. You've got a point. 'Cause I know what to do.I know what should happen. I know what you deserve. Exterminate. [DALEK] Have pity! [DOCTOR] Why should I? You never did. --------------------------------------- (Outside the Cage) [VAN STATTEN] Get him out. --------------------------------------- (Cage) [DALEK] Help me! [VAN STATTEN] I saved your life. Now talk to me. Goddamn it, talk to me! [DOCTOR] You've got to destroy it! [VAN STATTEN] The last in the universe. And now I know your name. Dalek.Speak to me, Dalek. I am Henry van Statten, now recognise me! Make ittalk again, Simmons. Whatever it takes. --------------------------------------- (Adam's workshop) [ADAM] Sorry about the mess. Mister Van Statten sortof lets me do my own thing, so long as I deliver the goods. What do youthink that is? [ROSE] Er, a lump of metal? [ADAM] Yeah. Yeah, but I think, well, I'm almost certain, it's from thehull of a spacecraft. The thing is, it's all true. Everything theUnited Nations tries to keep quiet, spacecraft, aliens, visitors toEarth. They really exist. [ROSE] That's amazing. [ADAM] I know it sounds incredible, but I honestly believe the wholeuniverse is just teeming with life. [ROSE] I'm gobsmacked, yeah. And you do what, sit here and catalogue it? [ADAM] Best job in the world. [ROSE] Imagine if you could get out there. Travel amongst the stars andsee it for real. [ADAM] Yeah, I'd give anything. I don't think it's ever going to happen.Not in our lifetimes. [ROSE] Oh, you never know. What about all those people who say they'vebeen inside of spaceships and things and talked to aliens? [ADAM] I think they're nutters. [ROSE] Yeah, me too. So, how'd you end up here? [ADAM] Van Statten has agents all over the world looking for geniuses torecruit. [ROSE] Oh, right. You're a genius. [ADAM] Sorry, but yeah. I can't help it. I was born clever. When I waseight, I logged onto the US Defence System. Nearly caused World WarThree. [ROSE] What, and that's funny, is it? [ADAM] Well, you should've been there just to see them running about.Fantastic! [ROSE] You sound like the Doctor. [ADAM] Are you and him? [ROSE] No, we're just friends. [ADAM] Good. [ROSE] Why is it good? [ADAM] It just is. [ROSE] So, wouldn't you rather be downstairs? I mean, you've got thesebits of metal and stuff, but Mister Van Statten's got a living creaturedown there. [ADAM] Yeah. Yeah, well, I did ask, but he keeps it to himself.Although, if you're a genius, it doesn't take long to patch through onthe comm. system. [ROSE] Let's have a look, then. [ADAM] It doesn't do much, the alien. It's weird. It's kind of useless.It's just like this great big pepper pot. [ROSE] It's being tortured! Where's the Doctor? [ADAM] I don't know. [ROSE] Take me down there now. --------------------------------------- (Lift) [DOCTOR] The metal's just battle armour. The realDalek creature's inside. [VAN STATTEN] What does it look like? [DOCTOR] A nightmare. It's a mutation. The Dalek race was geneticallyengineered. Every single emotion was removed except hate. [VAN STATTEN] Genetically engineered. By whom? [DOCTOR] By a genius, Van Statten. By a man who was king of his ownlittle world. You'd like him. [GODDARD] It's been on Earth for over fifty years. Sold at a privateauction, moving from one collection to another. Why would it be athreat now? [DOCTOR] Because I'm here. How did it get to Earth? Does anyone know? [GODDARD] The records say it came from the sky like a meteorite. It fellto Earth on the Ascension Islands. Burnt in its crater for three daysbefore anybody could get near it and all that time it was screaming. Itmust have gone insane. [DOCTOR] It must have fallen through time. The only survivor. [GODDARD] You talked about a war? [DOCTOR] The Time War. The final battle between my people and the Dalekrace. [VAN STATTEN] But you survived, too. [DOCTOR] Not by choice. [VAN STATTEN] This means that the Dalek isn't the only alien on Earth.Doctor, there's you. The only one of your kind in existence. --------------------------------------- (Doctor's cage) [VAN STATTEN] Now, smile! [VAN STATTEN] Two hearts! Binary vascular system. Oh, I am so going topatent this. [DOCTOR] So that's your secret. You don't just collect this stuff, youscavenge it. [VAN STATTEN] This technology has been falling to Earth for centuries.All it took was the right mind to use it properly. Oh, the advancesI've made from alien junk. You have no idea, Doctor. Broadband?Roswell. Just last year my scientists cultivated bacteria from theRussian crater, and do you know what we found? The cure for the commoncold. Kept it strictly within the laboratory of course. No need to getpeople excited. Why sell one cure when I can sell a thousandpalliatives? [DOCTOR] Do you know what a Dalek is, Van Statten? A Dalek is honest. Itdoes what it was born to do for the survival of its species. Thatcreature in your dungeon is better than you. [VAN STATTEN] In that case, I will be true to myself and continue. [DOCTOR] Listen to me! That thing downstairs is going to kill every lastone of us! [VAN STATTEN] Nothing can escape the Cage. [DOCTOR] But it's woken up. It knows I'm here. It's going to get out.Van Statten, I swear, no one on this base is safe. No one on thisplanet! --------------------------------------- (Outside the Cage) [BYWATER] Hold it right there. [ADAM] Level three access. Special clearance from Mister Van Statten. --------------------------------------- (Cage) [ADAM] Don't get too close. [ROSE] Hello. Are you in pain? My name's Rose Tyler. I've got a friend,he can help. He's called the Doctor. What's your name? [DALEK] Yes. [ROSE] What? [DALEK] I am in pain. They torture me, but still they fear me. Do youfear me? [ROSE] No. [DALEK] I am dying. [ROSE] No, we can help. [DALEK] I welcome death. But I am glad that before I die I have met ahuman who was not afraid. [ROSE] Isn't there anything I can do? [DALEK] My race is dead, and I shall die alone. [ADAM] Rose, no! [DALEK] Genetic material extrapolated. Initiate cellular reconstruction! [SIMMONS] What the hell have you done? [SIMMONS] What are you going to do? Sucker me to death? --------------------------------------- (Outside the Cage) [ROSE] It's killing him! Do something! [BYWATER] Condition red! Condition red! --------------------------------------- (Doctor's cage) [GUARD [OC]] I repeat, this is not a drill! [DOCTOR] Release me if you want to live. --------------------------------------- (Office) [DOCTOR] You've got to keep it in that cell. [ROSE [on screen]] Doctor, it's all my fault. [GUARD [on screen]] I've sealed the compartment. It can't get out, thatlock's got a billion combinations. [DOCTOR] A Dalek's a genius. It can calculate a thousand billioncombinations in one second flat. --------------------------------------- (Outside the Cage) [BYWATER] Open fire! --------------------------------------- (Office) [VAN STATTEN] Don't shoot it! I want it unharmed. [DOCTOR] Rose, get out of there! --------------------------------------- (Outside the Cage) [BYWATER] De Maggio, take the civilians and get themout alive. That is your job, got that? [DE MAGGIO] You, with me. --------------------------------------- (Outside the Cage) [BYWATER] Abandoning the Cage, sir. --------------------------------------- (Office) [GODDARD] We're losing power. It's draining thebase. Oh, my God. It's draining entire power supplies for the whole ofUtah. [DOCTOR] It's downloading. [VAN STATTEN] Downloading what? [GODDARD] Sir, the entire West Coast has gone down. [DOCTOR] It's not just energy. That Dalek just absorbed the entireinternet. It knows everything. --------------------------------------- (Outside the Cage) [DALEK] The Daleks survive in me! --------------------------------------- (Office) [GODDARD] The cameras in the vault have gone down. [DOCTOR] We've only got emergency power. It's eaten everything else.You've got to kill it now! [GODDARD] All guards to converge in the Metaltron cage, immediately. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [DE MAGGIO] Civilians! Let them through! [BYWATER] Cover the north wall. Red division, maintain suppressing firealong the perimeter. Blue division argh! --------------------------------------- (Office) [VAN STATTEN] Tell them to stop shooting at it. [GODDARD] But it's killing them! [VAN STATTEN] They're dispensable. That Dalek is unique. I don't want ascratch on its bodywork, do you hear me? Do you hear me? [GODDARD] That's us, right below the surface. That's the cage, andthat's the Dalek. [DOCTOR] This museum of yours. Have you got any alien weapons? [GODDARD] Lots of them, but the trouble is the Dalek's between us andthem. [VAN STATTEN] We've got to keep that thing alive. We could just seal theentire vault, trap it down there. [DOCTOR] Leaving everyone trapped with it. Rose is down there. I won'tlet that happen. Have you got that? It's got to go through this area.What's that? [GODDARD] Weapons testing. [DOCTOR] Give guns to the technicians, the lawyers, anyone. Everyone.Only then have you got a chance of killing it. --------------------------------------- (Staircase) [ROSE] Stairs! That's more like it. It hasn't gotlegs. It's stuck! [DE MAGGIO] It's coming! Get up! [ADAM] Great big alien death machine defeated by a flight of stairs. [DE MAGGIO] Now listen to me. I demand that you return to your cage. Ifyou want to negotiate then I can guarantee that Mister van Statten willbe willing to talk. I accept that we imprisoned you and maybe that waswrong, but people have died, and that stops right now. The killingstops. Have you got that? I demand that you surrender. Is that clear? [DALEK] Elevate. [ROSE] Oh my God. [DE MAGGIO] Adam, get her out of here. [ROSE] Come with us. You can't stop it. [DE MAGGIO] Someone's got to try. Now get out! Don't look back. Justrun. (Despite the closing range, de Maggio doesn't hit the eyepiece.She suffers the usual fate.) --------------------------------------- (Office) [VAN STATTEN] I thought you were the great expert,Doctor. If you're so impressive, then why not just reason with thisDalek? It must be willing to negotiate. There must be something itneeds. Everything needs something. [DOCTOR] What's the nearest town? [VAN STATTEN] Salt Lake City. [DOCTOR] Population? [VAN STATTEN] One million. [DOCTOR] All dead. If the Dalek gets out, it'll murder every livingcreature. That's all it needs. [VAN STATTEN] But why would it do that? [DOCTOR] Because it honestly believes they should die. Human beings aredifferent, and anything different is wrong. It's the ultimate in racialcleansing and you, Van Statten, you've let it loose! The Dalek'ssurrounded by a force field. The bullets are melting before they evenhit home, but it's not indestructible. --------------------------------------- (Loading bay) [DOCTOR [OC]] If you concentrate your fire, youmight get through. Aim for the dome, the head, the eyepiece. --------------------------------------- (Office) [DOCTOR] That's the weak spot. --------------------------------------- (Loading bay) [COMMANDER] Thank you, Doctor, but I think I knowhow to fight one single tin robot. Positions! [COMMANDER] Hold your fire! You two, get the hell out of there! --------------------------------------- (Outside the loading bay) [ROSE] It was looking at me. [ADAM] Yeah, it wants to slaughter us. [ROSE] I know, but it was looking right at me. [ADAM] So? It's just a sort of metal eye thing. It's looking all around. [ROSE] I don't know. It's like there's something inside, looking at me,like, like it knows me. --------------------------------------- (Loading bay) [COMMANDER] On my mark. Open fire! --------------------------------------- (Office) [GODDARD] We've got vision. [DOCTOR] It wants us to see. --------------------------------------- (Loading bay) [COMMANDER] Fall back! Fall back! --------------------------------------- (Office) [VAN STATTEN] Perhaps it's time for a new strategy.Maybe we should consider abandoning this place. [GODDARD] Except there's no power to the helipad, sir. We can't get out. [DOCTOR] You said we could seal the vault. [VAN STATTEN] It was designed to be a bunker in the event of nuclearwar. Steel bulkheads [GODDARD] There's not enough power, those bulkheads are massive. [DOCTOR] We've got emergency power. We can re-route that to the bulkheaddoors. [GODDARD] We'd have to bypass the security codes. That would take acomputer genius. [VAN STATTEN] Good thing you've got me, then. [DOCTOR] You want to help? [VAN STATTEN] I don't want to die, Doctor. Simple as that. And nobodyknows this software better than me. [GODDARD] Sir. [DALEK [on screen]] I shall speak only to the Doctor. [DOCTOR] You're going to get rusty. [DALEK [on screen]] I fed off the DNA of Rose Tyler. Extrapolating thebiomass of a time traveller regenerated me. [DOCTOR] What's your next trick? [DALEK [on screen]] I have been searching for the Daleks. [DOCTOR] Yeah, I saw. downloading the internet. What did you find? --------------------------------------- (Loading bay) [DALEK] I scanned your satellites and radiotelescopes. --------------------------------------- (Office) [DOCTOR] And? [DALEK [on screen]] Nothing. Where shall I get my orders now? [DOCTOR] You're just a soldier without commands. [DALEK [on screen]] Then I shall follow the Primary Order, the Dalekinstinct to destroy, to conquer. [DOCTOR] What for? What's the point? Don't you see it's all gone?Everything you were, everything you stood for. --------------------------------------- (Loading bay) [DALEK] Then what should I do? --------------------------------------- (Office) [DOCTOR] All right, then. If you want orders, followthis one. Kill yourself. --------------------------------------- (Loading bay) [DALEK] The Daleks must survive! --------------------------------------- (Office) [DOCTOR] The Daleks have failed! Why don't youfinish the job and make the Daleks extinct. Rid the Universe of yourfilth. Why don't you just die? --------------------------------------- (Loading bay) [DALEK] You would make a good Dalek. --------------------------------------- (Office) [DOCTOR] Seal the Vault. [VAN STATTEN] I can leech power off the ground defences, feed it to thebulkheads. God, it's been years since I had to work this fast. [DOCTOR] Are you enjoying this? [GODDARD] Doctor, she's still down there. --------------------------------------- (Staircase) [ROSE] This isn't the best time. [DOCTOR [OC]] Where are you? [ROSE] Level forty nine. --------------------------------------- (Office) [DOCTOR] You've got to keep moving. The vault'sbeing sealed off up at level forty six. --------------------------------------- (Staircase) [ROSE] Can't you stop them closing? --------------------------------------- (Office) [DOCTOR] I'm the one who's closing them. I can'twait and I can't help you. --------------------------------------- (Staircase) [DOCTOR [OC]] Now for God's sake, run. --------------------------------------- (Office) [VAN STATTEN] Done it. We've got power to thebulkheads. [GODDARD] The Dalek's right behind them. --------------------------------------- (Level 46) [ROSE] We're nearly there. Give us two seconds. --------------------------------------- (Office) [VAN STATTEN] Doctor, I can't sustain the power. Thewhole system is failing. Doctor, you've got to close the bulkheads. [DOCTOR] I'm sorry. --------------------------------------- (Level 46) [ADAM] Come on! --------------------------------------- (Office) [VAN STATTEN] The vault is sealed. [DOCTOR] Rose, where are you? Rose, did you make it? --------------------------------------- (Level 46) [ROSE] Sorry, I was a bit slow. [ROSE] See you, then, Doctor. It wasn't your fault. Remember that, okay?It wasn't your fault. --------------------------------------- (Office) [ROSE [OC]] And do you know what? --------------------------------------- (Level 46) [ROSE] I wouldn't have missed it for the world. --------------------------------------- (Office) [DALEK [OC]] Exterminate! [DOCTOR] I killed her. [VAN STATTEN] I'm sorry. [DOCTOR] I said I'd protect her. She was only here because of me, andyou're sorry? I could've killed that Dalek in it's cell, but youstopped me. [VAN STATTEN] It was the prize of my collection! [DOCTOR] Your collection? But was it worth it? Worth all those men'sdeaths? Worth Rose? Let me tell you something, Van Statten. Mankindgoes into space to explore, to be part of something greater. [VAN STATTEN] Exactly! I wanted to touch the stars! [DOCTOR] You just want to drag the stars down and stick themunderground, underneath tons of sand and dirt, and label them. You'reabout as far from the stars as you can get. And you took her down withyou. She was nineteen years old. --------------------------------------- (Level 46) [ROSE] Go on then, kill me. Why're you doing this? [DALEK] I am armed. I will kill. It is my purpose. [ROSE] They're all dead because of you. [DALEK] They are dead because of us. [ROSE] And now what? What're you waiting for? [DALEK] I feel your fear. [ROSE] What do you expect? [DALEK] Daleks do not fear. Must not fear. [DALEK] You gave me life. What else have you given me? I amcontaminated. --------------------------------------- (Office) [DOCTOR] You were quick on your feet, leaving Rose behind. [ADAM] I'm not the one who sealed the vault! [DALEK [on screen]] Open the bulkhead or Rose Tyler dies. [DOCTOR] You're alive! [ROSE [on screen]] Can't get rid of me. [DOCTOR] I thought you were dead. [DALEK [on screen]] Open the bulkhead! [ROSE [on screen]] Don't do it! [DALEK [on screen]] What use are emotions if you will not save the womanyou love? [DOCTOR] I killed her once. I can't do it again. [VAN STATTEN] What do we do now, you bleeding heart. What the hell do wedo? [ADAM] Kill it when it gets here. [GODDARD] All the guns are useless, and the alien weapons are in thevault. [ADAM] Only the catalogued ones. --------------------------------------- (Adam's workshop) [DOCTOR] Broken. Broken. Hairdryer. [ADAM] Mister Van Statten tends to dispose of his staff, and when hedoes he wipes their memory. I kept this stuff in case I needed to fightmy way out one day. [DOCTOR] What, you in a fight? I'd like to see that. [ADAM] I could do. [DOCTOR] What're you going to do, throw your A-Levels at 'em? Oh, yes.Lock and load. --------------------------------------- (Lift) [ROSE] I'm begging you, don't kill them. You didn'tkill me. [DALEK] But why not? Why are you alive? My function is to kill. What amI? What am I? --------------------------------------- (Office) [ROSE] Don't move. Don't do anything. It's beginningto question itself. [DALEK] Van Statten. You tortured me. Why? [VAN STATTEN] I wanted to help you. I just, I don't know. I was tryingto help. I thought if we could get through to you, if we could mendyou. I wanted you better. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry! I swear, I justwanted you to talk! [DALEK] Then hear me talk now. Exterminate! Exterminate! Exterminate! [ROSE] Don't do it! Don't kill him! You don't have to do this anymore.There must be something else, not just killing. What else is there?What do you want? [DALEK] I want freedom. --------------------------------------- (Level 1) [ROSE] You're out. You made it. I never thought I'd feel the sunlightagain. [DALEK] How does it feel? [DOCTOR] Get out of the way. Rose, get out of the way now! [ROSE] No. I won't let you do this. [DOCTOR] That thing killed hundreds of people. [ROSE] It's not the one pointing the gun at me. [DOCTOR] I've got to do this. I've got to end it. The Daleks destroyedmy home, my people. I've got nothing left. [ROSE] Look at it. [DOCTOR] What's it doing? [ROSE] It's the sunlight, that's all it wants. [DOCTOR] But it can't [ROSE] It couldn't kill Van Statten, it couldn't kill me. It's changing.What about you, Doctor? What the hell are you changing into? [DOCTOR] I couldn't. I wasn't. Oh, Rose. They're all dead. [DALEK] Why do we survive? [DOCTOR] I don't know. [DALEK] I am the last of the Daleks. [DOCTOR] You're not even that. Rose did more than regenerate you. You'veabsorbed her DNA. You're mutating. [DALEK] Into what? [DOCTOR] Something new. I'm sorry. [ROSE] Isn't that better? [DOCTOR] Not for a Dalek. [DALEK] I can feel so many ideas. So much darkness. Rose, give meorders. Order me to die. [ROSE] I can't do that. [DALEK] This is not life. This is sickness. I shall not be like you.Order my destruction! Obey! Obey! Obey! [ROSE] Do it. [DALEK] Are you frightened, Rose Tyler? [ROSE] Yeah. [DALEK] So am I. Exterminate. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [VAN STATTEN] What the hell are you doing? [GODDARD] Two hundred personnel dead, and all because of you, sir. Takehim away, wipe his memory, and leave him by the road someplace. [VAN STATTEN] You can't do this to me. I am Henry van Statten! [GODDARD] And by tonight, Henry van Statten will be a homeless,brainless junkie living on the streets of San Diego, Seattle,Sacramento. Someplace beginning with S. --------------------------------------- (Museum) [DOCTOR] A little piece of home. Better thannothing. [ROSE] Is that the end of it, the Time War? [DOCTOR] I'm the only one left. I win. How about that? [ROSE] The Dalek survived. Maybe some of your people did too. [DOCTOR] I'd know. In here. (his head) Feels like there's no one. [ROSE] Well then, good thing I'm not going anywhere. [DOCTOR] Yeah. [ADAM] We'd better get out. Van Statten's disappeared. They're closingdown the base. Goddard says they're going to fill it full of cement,like it never existed. [ROSE] About time. [ADAM] I'll have to go back home. [DOCTOR] Better hurry up then. Next flight to Heathrow leaves at fifteenhundred hours. [ROSE] Adam was saying that all his life he wanted to see the stars. [DOCTOR] Tell him to go and stand outside, then. [ROSE] He's all on his own, Doctor, and he did help. [DOCTOR] He left you down there. [ROSE] So did you. [ADAM] What're you talking about? We've got to leave. [DOCTOR] Plus, he's a bit pretty. [ROSE] I hadn't noticed. [DOCTOR] On your own head. [ADAM] What're you doing? She said cement. She wasn't joking. We'regoing to get sealed in. [ADAM] Doctor? What're you doing standing inside a box? Rose?

Your history's not as good asyou thought it was. [DOCTOR] My history's perfect. [ROSE] Well, obviously not. [ADAM] They're all human. What about the millions of planets, themillions of species? Where are they? [DOCTOR] Good question. Actually, that is a good question. Adam, me oldmate, you must be starving. [ADAM] No, I'm just a bit time sick. [DOCTOR] No, you just need a bit of grub.

Stop nagging me. The thing is, Adam, timetravel's like visiting Paris. You can't just read the guide book,you've got to throw yourself in. Eat the food, use the wrong verbs, getcharged double and end up kissing complete strangers. Or is that justme? Stop asking questions, go and do it. Off you go, then. Your firstdate. [ROSE] You're going to get a smack, you are. [DOCTOR] Er, this is going to sound daft, but can you tell me where Iam? [CATHICA] Floor One Three Nine. Could they write it any bigger? [DOCTOR] Floor one three nine of what? [CATHICA] Must've been a hell of a party. [SUKI] You're on Satellite Five. [DOCTOR] What's Satellite Five. [CATHICA] Come on, how could you get on board without knowing where youare? [DOCTOR] Look at me. I'm stupid. [SUKI] Hold on, wait a minute. Are you a test? Some sort of managementtest kind of thing? [DOCTOR] You've got me. Well done. You're too clever for me. [SUKI] We were warned about this in basic training. All workers have tobe versed in company promotion. [CATHICA] Right, fire away, ask your questions. If it gets me to Floorfive hundred I'll do anything. [DOCTOR] Why, what happens on Floor five hundred? [CATHICA] The walls are made of gold. And you should know, MisterManagement. So, this is what we do. [CATHICA] Latest news, sandstorms on the new Venus archipelago. Twohundred dead. Glasgow water riots into their third day. Space laneseventy seven closed by sunspot activity. And over on the Bad Wolfchannel, the Face of Bo has just announced he's pregnant. [DOCTOR] I get it. You broadcast the news. [CATHICA] We are the news. We're the journalists. We write it, packageit and sell it. Six hundred channels --------------------------------------- (Floor 500) [CATHICA [on monitor]] All coming out of SatelliteFive, broadcasting everywhere. [EDITOR] Something is wrong. Something fictional. Those people. [CATHICA] Nothing happens in the whole human empire without it goingthough us. [EDITOR] Security check. Go deep. --------------------------------------- (Floor 139) [TANNOY] All staff are reminded that the canteenarea now operates a self cleaning table system. Thank you! [ROSE] Try this. It's called Zaphic. It's nice, it's like a, er, SlushPuppy. [ADAM] What flavour? [ROSE] Sort of beef? [ADAM] Oh, my God. It's like everything's gone, home, family,everything. [ROSE] This helps. The Doctor gave it a bit of a top-up. Who's backhome, your mum and dad? [ADAM] Yeah. [ROSE] Phone them up. [ADAM] But that's one hundred and ninety eight thousand years ago. [ROSE] Honestly, try it. Go on. [ADAM] Is there a code for planet Earth? [ROSE] Just dial. [MACHINE] I'm sorry we're not in. Please leave a message. Thanks. Bye [ADAM] It's er. Hi. It's me. --------------------------------------- (Adam's home) [ADAM] I've sort of gone travelling. I met these people and we've gonetravelling together. --------------------------------------- (Floor 139) [ADAM] But, er, I'm fine, and I'll call you later.Love you. Bye. That is so [DOCTOR] Oi! Mutt and Jeff! Over here! --------------------------------------- (Floor 500) [COMPUTER] Security check cleared. [EDITOR] No, something's wrong. I can taste it. A tiny little shift inthe information. Someone down there shouldn't be here. Double check.Triple check. Follow them. --------------------------------------- (Newsroom) [CATHICA] Now, everybody behave. We have a management inspection. How doyou want it, by the book? [DOCTOR] Right from scratch, thanks. [CATHICA] Okay. So, ladies, gentlemen, multi-sex, undecided or robot,-my name is Cathica Santini Khadeni. That's Cathica with a C, in caseyou want to write to Floor five hundred praising me, and please do.Now, please feel free to ask any questions. The process of newsgathering must be open, honest, and beyond bias. That's company policy. [SUKI] Actually, it's the law. [CATHICA] Yes, thank you, Suki. Okay, keep it calm. Don't show off forthe guests. Here we go. [CATHICA] And engage safety [CATHICA] And three, two, and spike. [DOCTOR] Compressed information, streaming into her. Reports from everycity, every country, every planet, and they all get packaged inside herhead. She becomes part of the software. Her brain is the computer. [ROSE] If it all goes through her, she must be a genius. [DOCTOR] Nah, she wouldn't remember any of it. There's too much. Herhead'd blow up. The brain's the processor. As soon as it closes, sheforgets. [ROSE] So, what about all these people round the edge? [DOCTOR] They've all got tiny little chips in their head, connectingthem to her and they transmit six hundred channels. Every single factin the Empire beams out of this place. Now that's what I call power. --------------------------------------- (Floor 500) [COMPUTER] Analysis confirmed. Security breach. [EDITOR] I knew it. Which one? It's someone inside that room. Which one? [COMPUTER] Isolating breach. [EDITOR] Come on, show me. Who is it? [ROSE [on monitor]] You all right? [ADAM [on monitor]] I can see her brain. --------------------------------------- (Newsroom) [ROSE] Do you want to get out? [ADAM] No. No, this technology, it's amazing. [DOCTOR] This technology's wrong. [ROSE] Trouble? [DOCTOR] Oh, yeah. --------------------------------------- (Floor 500) [EDITOR] That's it! Oh yes, she's the liar.Intercept and scan. [EDITOR] Gotcha. [CATHICA] Come off it, Suki. I wasn't even halfway. What was that for? [SUKI] Sorry. It must've been a glitch. [CATHICA] Oh. --------------------------------------- (Level 500) [EDITOR] Her information's been tampered with.There's a second biography hidden underneath. [EDITOR] Yes, sir. Absolutely, sir. Yes, well, her data was encrypted,so there's no way we could have found her sooner. [EDITOR] I'm sorry, I. Yes, sorry, sir. Absolutely. Get her up here.Now. --------------------------------------- (Newsroom) [TANNOY] Promotion. [CATHICA] Come on. This is it. Come on. Oh God, make it me. Come on, saymy name, say my name, say my name. [TANNOY] Promotion for Suki Macrae Cantrell. Please proceed to Floorfive hundred. [SUKI] I don't believe it. Floor five hundred. [CATHICA] How the hell did you manage that? I'm above you. [SUKI] I don't know. I just applied on the off chance and they've saidyes. [CATHICA] That's so not fair. I've been applying to Floor five hundredfor three years. [ROSE] What's Floor five hundred? [DOCTOR] The walls are made of gold. --------------------------------------- (By the lift) [SUKI] Cathica, I'm going to miss you. Floor fivehundred, thank you. [DOCTOR] I didn't do anything. [SUKI] Well, you're my lucky charm. [DOCTOR] All right. I'll hug anyone. [ROSE] Come on, it's not that bad. [ADAM] What, with the head thing? [ROSE] Yeah, well, she's closed it now! [ADAM] Yeah, but. It's everything. It freaks me out. And I just need to.If I could just cool down. Sort of acclimatise. [ROSE] How do you mean? [ADAM] Maybe I could just go and sit on the observation deck. Would thatbe all right? Soak it in, you know. Pretend I'm a citizen of the yeartwo hundred thousand. [ROSE] Do you want me to come with you? [ADAM] No, no, you stick with the Doctor. You'd rather be with him. It'sgoing to take a better man than me to get between you two. Anyway, I'llbe on the deck. [ROSE] Here you go. Take the Tardis key. You know, just in case it getsa bit too much. [ADAM] Yeah, like it's not weird in there. [TANNOY] All staff are reminded that the sixteen forty break session hasbeen shortened by ten minutes. Thank you. [SUKI] Oh, my God, I've got to go. I can't keep them waiting. I'm sorry.Say goodbye to Steve for me. Bye! [CATHICA] Good riddance. [DOCTOR] You're talking like you'll never see her again. She's onlygoing upstairs. [CATHICA] We won't. Once you go to Floor five hundred you never comeback. [DOCTOR] Have you ever been up there? [CATHICA] I can't. You need a key for the lift, and you only get a keywith promotion. No one gets to five hundred except for the chosen few. --------------------------------------- (Floor 500) [SUKI] Who're you? [EDITOR] I'm the Editor. [SUKI] What's happening? There are bodies out there. What's going on? [EDITOR] While we're asking questions, would you please confirm yourname. [SUKI [on monitor]] My name is Suki Macrae Cantrell. I was born one ninenine apostrophe eight nine in the Independent Republic of Morocco. [EDITOR] Liar. [SUKI [on monitor]] Hobbies include reading and archeology. I'm not anexpert or anything, I just like digging. [EDITOR] Liar. [SUKI [on monitor]] I want to work for Satellite Five because my sistercan't afford university, and the pay scheme is really good [EDITOR] Liar! Let's look at the facts, shall we? [EDITOR] Ah, hidden behind a genetic graft, but that's still you. EvaSaint Julienne, last surviving member of the Freedom Fifteen. Hmm, selfdeclared anarchist, is that right? [SUKI] Who controls Satellite Five? [EDITOR] There's the truth! [SUKI] The Freedom Foundation has been monitoring Satellite Five'stransmissions. We have absolute proof that the facts are beingmanipulated. You are lying to the people. [EDITOR] Ooo, I love it. Say it again. [SUKI] This whole system is corrupt. Who do you represent? [EDITOR] I'm merely a humble slave. I answer to the Editor in Chief. [SUKI] Who is he? Where is he? [EDITOR] He's overseeing everything. Literally everything. If you don'tmind, I'm going to have to refer this upwards. [SUKI] What is that? [EDITOR] Your boss. This has always been your boss, since the day youwere born. --------------------------------------- (Observation deck) [ADAM] Give me access. [ADAM] Give me [ADAM] I can learn anything. [ADAM] Oh my God. --------------------------------------- (Newsroom) [CATHICA] Look, they only give us twenty minutesmaintenance. Can't you give it a rest? [DOCTOR] But you've never been to another floor? Not even one floordown? [CATHICA] I went to floor sixteen when I first arrived. That's medical.That's when I got my head done, and then I came straight here.Satellite Five, you work, eat and sleep on the same floor. That's it,that's all. You're not management, are you. [DOCTOR] At last. She's clever. [CATHICA] Yeah, well, whatever it is, don't involve me. I don't knowanything. [DOCTOR] Don't you even ask? [CATHICA] Well, why would I? [DOCTOR] You're a journalist. Why's all the crew human? [CATHICA] What's that got to do with anything? [DOCTOR] There's no aliens on board. Why? [CATHICA] I don't know. No real reason. They're not banned or anything. [DOCTOR] Then where are they? [CATHICA] I suppose immigration's tightened up. It's had to, what withall the threats. [DOCTOR] What threats? [CATHICA] I don't know all of them. Usual stuff. And the price of spacewarp doubled so that kept the visitors away. Oh, and the government onChavic Five's collapsed, so that lot stopped coming, you see. Just lotsof little reasons, that's all. [DOCTOR] Adding up to one great big fact, and you didn't even notice. [CATHICA] Doctor, I think if there was any kind of conspiracy, SatelliteFive would have seen it. We see everything. [DOCTOR] I can see better. This society's the wrong shape, even thetechnology. [CATHICA] It's cutting edge. [DOCTOR] It's backwards. There's a great big door in your head. Youshould've chucked this out years ago. [ROSE] So, what do you think's going on? [DOCTOR] It's not just this space station, it's the whole attitude. It'sthe way people think. The great and bountiful Human Empire's stunted.Something's holding it back. [CATHICA] And how would you know? [DOCTOR] Trust me, humanity's been set back about ninety years. When didSatellite Five start broadcasting? [CATHICA] Ninety one years ago. --------------------------------------- (Observation deck) [ADAM] Mum, Dad, keep this message, okay? --------------------------------------- (Adam's home) [ADAM [OC]] Whatever you do, don't erase it. Saveit. You got that? --------------------------------------- (Observation deck) [ADAM] The microprocessor became --------------------------------------- (Adam's home) [ADAM [OC]] Redundant in the year two thousandnineteen, replaced --------------------------------------- (Observation deck) [ADAM] By a system called SMT. That's SingleMolecule Transcription [ADAM] No, no, no, no, no! What're you doing? Come back! Why are youdoing that? What's Floor sixteen? What's down there? --------------------------------------- (Floor 16) [ADAM] Sorry, er, floor sixteen, that's, er. What do you cover? [NURSE] Medical non-emergency. [ADAM] Right. Yeah, wrong floor. I'm having technical difficulties. Myscreen keeps freezing, blocking me out. [NURSE] No, that's medical. There must be something wrong with yourchip. [ADAM] Yes. Yeah, of course, yeah. I haven't got one. [NURSE] No wonder you can't get a screen to work. What are you, astudent? [ADAM] Yes. Yeah, I'm er, I'm on a research project from the Universityof Mars. [NURSE] The Martian boondocks. Typical. [ADAM] Yeah. [NURSE] Well, you still need chipping. [ADAM] So, does that mean like brain surgery? [NURSE] That's an old fashioned phrase, but it's the same thing, yes. [ADAM] Oh. Okay, never mind. But if I get a chip that means I could useany computer. [NURSE] Absolutely. You'll have to pay for it. They've stoppedsubsidising. [ADAM] Oh! Right. Sorry. Wasting your time. Thanks. [ADAM] Hold on. Can I use this? [NURSE] That'll do nicely. --------------------------------------- (Operating room) [NURSE] It all comes down to two basic types. Type one, the head chipinserted into the back of the skull, one hundred credits. There's thechip. Tiny. Invisible. No scarring. Type two is the full info-spike. [ADAM] Oh, that's the [ADAM] Thing. [NURSE] That's the one. It does cost ten thousand. [ADAM] Oh, well, I, er, I couldn't afford it then. [NURSE] Not at all. It turns out you've got unlimited credit. [ADAM] No, but I couldn't have it done, I mean, that's got to hurt,hasn't it? [NURSE] Painless. Contractual guarantee. [ADAM] No, my mate's waiting upstairs, I can't have major surgery. [NURSE] It takes ten minutes. That sort of money buys a very fastpicosurgeon. [ADAM] No, but I, I couldn't. No, no, it's [NURSE] Type one, you can interface with a simple computer. Type two,you are the computer. You can transmit any piece of information fromthe archive of Satellite Five, which is just about the entire historyof the human race. Now, which one's it going to be? --------------------------------------- (Outside the computer cupboard) [CATHICA] We are so going to get in trouble. You're not allowed to touchthe mainframe. You're going to get told off. [DOCTOR] Rose, tell her to button it. [CATHICA] You can't just vandalise the place. Someone's going to notice! --------------------------------------- (Floor 500) [EDITOR] I don't understand. We did a full security scan. That man wasthere when we found Suki Macrae Cantrell. There were no indicationsabout him. And yet here he is, clearly acting outside the parameters.Fascinating. [EDITOR] Yes, sir. Absolutely. At once. Check him. Double check him.Triple check him. Quadruple. (The creature makes noises) --------------------------------------- (Outside the computer cupboard) [CATHICA] This is nothing to do with me. I'm going back to work. [DOCTOR] Go on, then. See you! [CATHICA] I can't just leave you, can I! [ROSE] If you want to be useful, get them to turn the heating down. It'sboiling. What's wrong with this place? Can't they do something aboutit? [CATHICA] I don't know. We keep asking. Something to do with theturbine. [DOCTOR] Something to do with the turbine. [CATHICA] Well, I don't know! [DOCTOR] Exactly. I give up on you, Cathica. Now, Rose. Look at Rose.Rose is asking the right kind of question. [ROSE] Oh, thank you. [DOCTOR] Why is it so hot? [CATHICA] One minutes you're worried about the Empire and the next it'sthe central heating! [DOCTOR] Well, never underestimate plumbing. Plumbing's very important. --------------------------------------- (Floor 500) [COMPUTER] Security scan complete. [EDITOR] Well, who is he? [COMPUTER] He is no one. [EDITOR] What does that mean? [COMPUTER] He is no one. [EDITOR] What, you mean he has a fake ID? [COMPUTER] He has no identification. [EDITOR] But everyone's registered. We have a census for the entireEmpire. [COMPUTER] He is no one. [EDITOR] What, he doesn't exist? Not anywhere? [COMPUTER] He is no one. [EDITOR] What about the blonde? [COMPUTER] She is no one. [EDITOR] Both of them? Well, we all know what happens to non-entities.They get promoted. Bring them up. --------------------------------------- (Outside the computer cupboard) [DOCTOR] Here we go. Satellite Five, pipes and plumbing. Look at thelayout. [CATHICA] This is ridiculous. You've got access to the computer's core.You can look at the archive, the news, the stock exchange and you'relooking at pipes? [DOCTOR] But there's something wrong. [CATHICA] I suppose. [ROSE] Why, what is it? [CATHICA] The ventilation system. Cooling ducts, ice filters, allworking flat out channelling massive amounts of heat down. [DOCTOR] All the way from the top. [ROSE] Floor five hundred. [DOCTOR] Something up there is generating tons and tons of heat. [ROSE] Well, I don't know about you, but I feel like I'm missing out ona party. It's all going on upstairs. Fancy a trip? [CATHICA] You can't. You need a key. [DOCTOR] Keys are just codes, and I've got the codes right here. Here wego. Override two one five point nine. [CATHICA] How come it's given you the code? --------------------------------------- (Floor 500) [DOCTOR [on monitor]] Someone up there likes me. --------------------------------------- (Operating room) [NURSE] I told you it was painless. No scarring, yousee? Perfect success. [ADAM] How do I activate it? [NURSE] It's a personal choice. Some people whistle. I know one man whotriggers it with O, Danny Boy. But you're set on default for now.That's a click of the fingers. [ADAM] So you mean, I just [NURSE] Click. --------------------------------------- (Outside the lift) [ROSE] Come on. Come with us. [CATHICA] No way. [DOCTOR] Bye! [CATHICA] Well, don't mention my name. When you get in trouble, justdon't involve me. [DOCTOR] That's her gone. Adam's given up. Looks like it's just you andme. [ROSE] Yeah. [DOCTOR] Good. [ROSE] Yep. --------------------------------------- (Operating room) [ADAM] Oh, my God. I'm going to be sick. [NURSE] Special offer. We installed the vomitomatic at the same time.Nano-termites have been placed in the lining of your throat. In theevent of sickness, they freeze the waste. --------------------------------------- (Floor 500) [DOCTOR] The walls are not made of gold. You shouldgo back downstairs. [ROSE] Tough. [EDITOR] I started without you. This is fascinating. Satellite Fivecontains every piece of information within the Fourth Great andBountiful Human Empire. Birth certificates, shopping habits, bankstatements, but you two, you don't exist. Not a trace. No birth, nojob, not the slightest kiss. How can you walk through the world and notleave a single footprint? [ROSE] Suki. Suki! Hello? Can you hear me? Suki? What have you done toher? [DOCTOR] I think she's dead. [ROSE] She's working. [DOCTOR] They've all got chips in their head, and the chips keep going,like puppets. [EDITOR] Oh! You're full of information. But it's only fair we get someinformation back, because apparently, you're no one. It's so rare notto know something. Who are you? [DOCTOR] It doesn't matter, because we're off. Nice to meet you. Comeon. [EDITOR] Tell me who you are. [DOCTOR] Since that information's keeping us alive, I'm hardly going tosay, am I. [EDITOR] Well, perhaps my Editor in Chief can convince you otherwise. [DOCTOR] And who's that? [EDITOR] It may interest you to know that this is not the Fourth Greatand Bountiful Human Empire. In fact, it's not actually human at all.It's merely a place where humans happen to live. [EDITOR] Yeah. Yeah, sorry. It's a place where humans are allowed tolive by kind permission of my client. [ROSE] What is that? [DOCTOR] You mean that thing's in charge of Satellite Five? [EDITOR] That thing, as you put it, is in charge of the human race. Foralmost a hundred years, mankind has been shaped and guided, hisknowledge and ambition strictly controlled by it's broadcast news,edited by my superior, your master, and humanity's guiding light, themighty Jagrafess of the Holy Hadrojassic Maxarodenfoe. I call him Max. [EDITOR] Create a climate of fear and it's easy to keep the bordersclosed. It's just a matter of emphasis. The right word in the rightbroadcast repeated often enough can destabilise an economy, invent anenemy, change a vote. [ROSE] So all the people on Earth are like, slaves. [EDITOR] Well, now, there's an interesting point. Is a slave a slave ifhe doesn't know he's enslaved? [DOCTOR] Yes. [EDITOR] Oh. I was hoping for a philosophical debate. Is that all I'mgoing to get? Yes? [DOCTOR] Yes. [EDITOR] You're no fun. [DOCTOR] Let me out of these manacles. You'll find out how much fun Iam. [EDITOR] Oh, he's tough, isn't he. But, come on. Isn't it a greatsystem? You've got to admire it, just a little bit. [ROSE] You can't hide something on this scale. Somebody must havenoticed. [EDITOR] From time to time, someone, yes, but the computer chip systemallows me to see inside their brains. I can see the smallest doubt andcrush it. [EDITOR] Then they just carry on, living the life, strutting aboutdownstairs and all over the surface of the Earth like they're soindividual, when of course, they're not. They're just cattle. In thatrespect, the Jagrafess hasn't changed a thing. [ROSE] What about you? You're not a Jagrabelly [DOCTOR] Jagrafess. [ROSE] Jagrafess. You're not a Jagrafess. You're human. [EDITOR] Yeah, well, simply being human doesn't pay very well. [ROSE] But you couldn't have done this all on your own. [EDITOR] No. I represent a consortium of banks. Money prefers along-term investment. Also, the Jagrafess needed a little hand toinstall himself. [DOCTOR] No wonder, a creature that size. What's his life span? [EDITOR] Three thousand years. [DOCTOR] That's one hell of a metabolism generating all that heat.That's why Satellite Five's so hot. You pump it out of the creature,channel it downstairs. Jagrafess stays cool, it stays alive. SatelliteFive is one great big life support system. --------------------------------------- (Adam's home) [ADAM [OC]] It's me again. Don't wipe this message. It's just going tosound like white noise, but save it because I can --------------------------------------- (Newsroom) [ADAM] Translate it, okay? Three, two, one andspike. --------------------------------------- (Floor 500) [EDITOR] But that's why you're so dangerous.Knowledge is power, but you remain unknown. Who are you? [DOCTOR] Leave her alone. I'm the Doctor, she's Rose Tyler. We'renothing, we're just wandering. [EDITOR] Tell me who you are! [DOCTOR] I just said! [EDITOR] Yes, but who do you work for? Who sent you? Who knows about us?Who exactly [EDITOR] Time Lord. [DOCTOR] What? [EDITOR] Oh, yes. The last of the Time Lords in his travelling machine.Oh, with his little human girl from long ago [DOCTOR] You don't know what you're talking about. [EDITOR] Time travel. --------------------------------------- (Newsroom) [ADAM] Help! --------------------------------------- (Floor 500) [DOCTOR] Someone's been telling you lies. [EDITOR] Young master Adam Mitchell? [ROSE] Oh, my God. His head! [DOCTOR] What the hell's he done? What the hell's he gone and done?They're reading his mind. He's telling them everything. [EDITOR] And through him, I know everything about you. Every piece ofinformation in his head is now mine. And you have infinite knowledge,Doctor. The Human Empire is tiny compared to what you've seen in your TA R D I S. Tardis. [DOCTOR] Well, you'll never get your hands on it. I'll die first. [EDITOR] Die all you like. I don't need you. I've got the key. [DOCTOR] You and your boyfriends! [EDITOR] Today, we are the headlines. We can rewrite history. We couldprevent mankind from ever developing. [DOCTOR] And no one's going to stop you because you've bred a human racethat doesn't bother to ask questions. Stupid little slaves, believingevery lie. They'll just trot right into the slaughter house if they'retold it's made of gold. --------------------------------------- (Floor 500 news room) [CATHICA] Disengage safety. --------------------------------------- (Floor 500) [EDITOR] What's happening? --------------------------------------- (Floor 500 newsroom) [CATHICA] Maximum access. Override Floor one threenine. [CATHICA] And spike! --------------------------------------- (Floor 500) [EDITOR] Someone's disengaged the safety. Who'sthat? [ROSE] It's Cathica. [DOCTOR] And she's thinking. She's using what she knows. [EDITOR] Terminate her access. [DOCTOR] Everything I told her about Satellite Five. The pipes, thefilters, she's reversing it. Look at that. [DOCTOR] It's getting hot. [EDITOR] (to Suki) I said, terminate. Burn out her mind. --------------------------------------- (Floor 500 newsroom) [CATHICA] Oh no, you don't. You should have promotedme years back. --------------------------------------- (Floor 500) [DOCTOR] She's venting the heat up here. The Jagrafess needs to staycool and now it's sitting on top of a volcano. [EDITOR] Yes, I'm trying, sir, but I don't know how she did it. It'simpossible. A member of staff with an idea. [ROSE] What do I do? [DOCTOR] Flick the switch! Oi, mate, want to bank on a certainty?Massive heat in a massive body, massive bang. See you in the headlines! [EDITOR] Actually, sir, if it's all the same to you, I think I'llresign. Bye, then! [EDITOR] Let go of me! [EDITOR] Let go of me! Let go of me! --------------------------------------- (Floor 139) [DOCTOR] We're just going to go. I hate tidying up. Too many questions.You'll manage. [CATHICA] You'll have to stay and explain it. No one's going to believeme. [DOCTOR] Oh, they might start believing a lot of things now. The humanrace should accelerate. All back to normal. [CATHICA] What about your friend? [DOCTOR] He's not my friend. [ROSE] Now, don't [ADAM] I'm all right now. Much better. And I've got the key. Look, it's.It all worked out for the best, didn't it? You know, it's not actuallymy fault, because you were in charge. --------------------------------------- (Adam's home) [ADAM] It's my house. I'm home! Oh, my God, I'm home! Blimey. I thoughtyou were going to chuck me out of an airlock. [DOCTOR] Is there something else you want to tell me? [ADAM] No. What do you mean? [DOCTOR] The archive of Satellite Five. One second of that messagecould've changed the world. [DOCTOR] That's it, then. See you. [ADAM] How do you mean, see you? [DOCTOR] As in goodbye. [ADAM] But what about me? You can't just go.

[ADAM] Thank you. [ADAM] Oi! [ROSE] Sorry, I couldn't resist. [DOCTOR] The whole of history could have changed because of you. [ADAM] I just wanted to help. [DOCTOR] You were helping yourself. [ADAM] And I'm sorry. I've said I'm sorry, and I am, I really am, butyou can't just leave me like this. [DOCTOR] Yes I can. 'Cause if you show that head to anyone, they'lldissect you in seconds.

Doctor Who (14 May, 2005; Ninth Doctor) - Father's Day [ROSE [OC]] Peter Alan Tyler my dad. The most wonderful man in theworld. Born 15th September 1954. [JACKIE] Come here, Rose. Come here [JACKIE] Who's that? It's your daddy. You weren't old enough to rememberwhen he died. 1987, 7th of November. Do you remember what I told you?The day that Stuart Hoskins and Sarah Clarke got married. He was alwayshaving adventures. Oh, he would have loved to have seen you now. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [ROSE] That's what Mum always says. So I wasthinking, could we, could we go and see my dad when he was still alive? [DOCTOR] Where's this come from, all of a sudden? [ROSE] All right then, if we can't, if it goes against the laws of timesor something, then never mind, just leave it. [DOCTOR] No, I can do anything. I'm just more worried about you. [ROSE] I want to see him. [DOCTOR] Your wish is my command. But be careful what you wish for. --------------------------------------- (Register office) [REGISTRAR] I, Peter Alan Tyler, take you, Jacqueline Angela SuzettePrentice [PETE] I, Peter Alan Tyler, take you, Jacqueline Suzanne Suzette Anita [JACKIE] Oh, just carry on. It's good enough for Lady Di. [ROSE] I thought he'd be taller. [REGISTRAR] To be my lawful wedded wife, to love and behold till deathus do part. [JACKIE [OC]] He died so close to home. --------------------------------------- (Memory - Jackie's bedroom) [JACKIE] I wasn't there. Nobody was. It was a hitand run driver. Never found out who. He was dead when the ambulance gotthere. I only wish there'd been someone there for him. [ROSE [OC]] I want to be that someone, so he doesn't die alone. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] November the 7th? [ROSE] 1987. --------------------------------------- (Waterley Street) [ROSE] It's so weird. The day my father died. I thought it'd be all sortof grim and stormy. It's just an ordinary day. [DOCTOR] The past is another country. 1987's just the Isle of Wight. Areyou sure about this? [ROSE] Yeah. --------------------------------------- (Jordan Road) [ROSE] This is it. Jordan Road. He was late. He'dbeen to get a wedding present, a vase. Mum always said, that stupidvase. [ROSE] He got out of his car. [ROSE] And crossed the road. [ROSE] Oh, God. This is it. [DOCTOR] Go to him, quick. [ROSE] It's too late now. By the time the ambulance got there, he wasdead. He can't die on his own. Can I try again? [DOCTOR] Right, that's the first you and me. It's a very bad idea, twosets of us being here at the same time. Just be careful they don't seeus. Wait till she runs off and he follows, then go to your dad. [ROSE 1] Oh, God. This is it. [ROSE] I can't do this. [DOCTOR] You don't have to do anything you don't want to, but this isthe last time we can be here. [DOCTOR] Rose! No! [ROSE] I did it. I saved your life. [PETE] Blimey, did you see the speed of it? Did you get his number? [ROSE] I really did it. Oh, my God, look at you. You're alive! That carwas going tokill you. [PETE] Give me some credit, I did see it coming. I wasn't going to walkunder it, was I. [ROSE] I'm Rose. [PETE] That's a coincidence. That's my daughter's name. [ROSE] That's a great name. Good choice. Well done. [PETE] Right, I'd better shift. I've got a wedding to go to. [ROSE] Is that Sarah Clarke's wedding? [PETE] Yeah, are you going? [ROSE] Yeah. [PETE] You and your boyfriend need a lift? --------------------------------------- (The Tyler's flat) [PETE] Right, there we go. Sorry about the mess. Ifyou want a cup of tea, the kitchens just down there, milk's in thefridge. Well, it would be, wouldn't it. Where else would you put themilk? Mind you, there's always the window sill outside. I alwaysthought if someone invented a window sill with special compartments,you know, one for milk, one for yogurt, make a lot of money out ofthat. Sell it to students and things. I should write that down. Anyway,never mind that, excuse me for a minute. Got to go and change. [ROSE] All the stuff mum kept. His stuff. She kept it all packed away inboxes in the cupboard. She used to show me when she'd had a bit todrink. Here it is, on display. Where it should be. Third prize at thebowling. First two got to go to Didcot. Health drinks. Tonics, mum usedto call them. He made his money selling this Vitex stuff. He had allsorts of jobs. He was so clever. Solar power. Mum said he wasgoing to do this. Now he can. Okay, look I'll tell him you're not myboyfriend. [DOCTOR] When we met, I said travel with me in space. You said no. ThenI said time machine. [ROSE] It wasn't some big plan. I just saw it happening and I thought, Ican stop it. [DOCTOR] I did it again. I picked another stupid ape. I should've known.It's not about showing you the universe. It never is. It's about theuniverse doing something for you. [ROSE] So it's okay when you go to other times, and you save people'slives, but not when it's me saving my dad. [DOCTOR] I know what I'm doing, you don't. Two sets of us being theremade that a vulnerable point. [ROSE] But he's alive! [DOCTOR] My entire planet died. My whole family. Do you think it neveroccurred to me to go back and save them? [ROSE] But it's not like I've changed history. Not much. I mean he'snever going tobe a world leader. He's not going to start World War Three or anything. [DOCTOR] Rose, there's a man alive in the world who wasn't alive before.An ordinary man. That's the most important thing in creation. The wholeworld's different because he's alive. [ROSE] What, would you rather him dead? [DOCTOR] I'm not saying that. [ROSE] No, I get it! For once, you're not the most important man in mylife. [DOCTOR] Let's see how you get on without me, then. Give me the key. TheTardis key. If I'm so insignificant, give it me back. [ROSE] All right then, I will. [DOCTOR] You've got what you wanted, so that's goodbye, then. [ROSE] You don't scare me. I know how sad you are. You'll be back in aminute, or you'll hang around outside the Tardis waiting for me. AndI'll make you wait a long time! [PETE] Boyfriend trouble? [PETE] Excuse me, do you mind? What're you tidying up for? [ROSE] Sorry. Force of habit. [PETE] Listen, don't worry about him. Couples have rows all the time. [ROSE] We're not a couple. Why does everyone think we're a couple? Ithink he left me. [PETE] What, a pretty girl like you? If I was going out with you [ROSE] Stop right there. [PETE] I was just saying [ROSE] I know what you're saying, and we're not going there. At no pointare we going anywhere near there. You aren't even aware that thereexists. I don't even want to think about there, and believe me, neitherdo you. There for you is like, like the Bermuda Triangle. [PETE] Blimey, you know how to flatter a bloke. [ROSE] Right, are we off? [PETE] So, that wouldn't be a mixed signal at all? [ROSE] Absolutely not. [PETE] I'll take you back to the loony bin where you belong. Except I'msure I've met you somewhere before. --------------------------------------- (St Pauls Church) [STUART] It's weird. [DAD] What? [STUART] There's so many people missing. Uncle Steven, Auntie Lynn, allthe Baxters. Where are they? You don't think something's gone wrong? [DAD] Maybe it's a godsend. It gives you time to think. You don't haveto go through with it, not these days. Live in sin for a bit. [STUART] Dad [DAD] In ten years time, you'll turn round and say, if only I could turnthe clock back. Is it me or did it just get cold? --------------------------------------- (Waterley Street) [DOCTOR] Rose! --------------------------------------- (Pete's car) [PETE] I met this bloke at the horse's, and he'scutting me in on copyright. [ROSE] But I thought you were a proper businessman and that. [PETE] I wish! Oh, I do a bit of this, a bit of that. I scrape by. [ROSE] Right. So I must've heard wrong. So, really you're a bit of a DelBoy? [PETE] Oh, shoot me down in flames. You're not related to my wife by anychance, are you? [ROSE] Oh, my God. She's going to be at the wedding. [PETE] What, Jackie? Do you know her? [ROSE] Sort of. [PETE] What's she told you about me, then? [ROSE] She said she'd picked the most fantastic man in the world. [PETE] Must be a different Jackie, then. She'd never say that. [PETE] This stuff goes right over my head. [ROSE] That's not out yet. [PETE] It's a good job and all. [PETE] How do you mean, messages? Is that a phone? [ROSE] Yeah. [BELL [OC]] Watson, come here. I need you. Watson, come here. I needyou. Watson, come here. I need you. --------------------------------------- (Outside St Pauls Church) [DAD] Half the guests haven't turned up. You're better off not beinghere, it's a disaster in the making. No, in this case, knocked her upis a phrase I'd use. [BELL [OC]] Watson, come here. I need you. [DAD] Hello? Who is this? [BELL [OC]] Watson, come here. I ne [STUART] Dad, get inside. We can't see the bride before the wedding.It's bad luck. [DAD] It was bad luck when you met her. I tell you, this day is cursed. [BEV] Now, that's what I call a meringue. [SUZIE] Listen, Stuart's dad said and go round the block, cos there'speople missing. [SARAH] How do you mean, missing? [BEV] There's no Dave, no Sunita, no Bea. [SUZIE] There's no one from the Lamb and Flag. [SARAH] Oh, my train's detached again. I knew I should've used Velcro. [JACKIE] I'm here. Stop your bellyaching. Take Rose a sec, will you? [BEV] Oh, ain't she pretty? [JACKIE] She's a little madam, that's what she is. Oh, I need morehands. Where's her useless article of a dad got to? --------------------------------------- (Pete's car) [ROSE] Dad! [PETE] It's that car. Same one as before. --------------------------------------- (Outside St Pauls Church) [PETE] It was right in front of us. Where's he gone?You called me Dad. What'd you say that for? [JACKIE] Oh, wonderful. Here he is, the accident waiting to happen.You'd be late for your own funeral and it nearly was! [PETE] No damage done. [JACKIE] And who's this? What're you looking at with your mouth open? [ROSE] Your hair. [JACKIE] What?! [ROSE] I've never seen it like. I mean, it's lovely. Your hair's lovely.And that baby you're holding. That would be your baby. [JACKIE] Another one of yours, is she? [PETE] She saved my life! [JACKIE] Oh, that's a new one. What was it last time? [PETE] I didn't even know her. She was a cloakroom attendant. I washelping her look for my ticket. There were three duffel coats all thesame. Somehow the rack collapsed. We were under all this stuff. [ROSE] Were you playing around? [JACKIE] What's it got to do with you what he gets up to? [ROSE] What does he get up to? [JACKIE] You'd know. [PETE] Oh, 'cos I'm that stupid. I play around and I bring her to meetthe missus. You silly cow. [JACKIE] But you are that stupid. [PETE] Can we keep this stuff back home just for now? [JACKIE] What, with the rest of the rubbish? You bring home cut-pricedetergents, tonic water, Betamax tapes and none of it works. I'mdrowning in your rubbish. What did he tell you? Did he say he's thisbig businessman, 'cos he's not. He's a failure. Born failure, that one.Rose needs a proper father, not one who's flannelling about like somebig kid. [PETE] Jackie, I'm making a living, it keeps us fed, don't it? [ROSE] Stop it! [ROSE] You're not like this. You love each other. [JACKIE] Oh, Pete. You never used to like them mental. Or I don't know,maybe you did. [PETE] Jackie, wait, just listen. [JACKIE] If you're not careful, there'll be a wedding and a divorce onthe same day. [PETE] Wait here. Give us a couple of minutes with the missus. Tell youwhat, straighten the car up. Stick it round the corner or something.Don't cause anymore trouble. --------------------------------------- (Playground) [MICKEY] Hey, Jack. Jeff. --------------------------------------- (Outside St Pauls Church) [JACKIE] I'm not listening. It's just the duffelcoats all over again. [PETE] Jackie, sometimes a duffel coat is just a duffel coat. Thingswill get better soon, I promise. [JACKIE] I've had enough of all your daft schemes. I never know wherethe next meal's coming from. [PETE] I'll get it right, love. One day soon, I promise you, I'll get itright. Come on. [MICKEY] Monsters! Going to eat us! [SUZIE] What sort of monsters, sweetheart? Is it aliens? [DOCTOR] Rose! Get in the church! [DOCTOR] Get in the church! [SUZIE] Oh, my God. What are they? What are they? [DOCTOR] Inside! [STUART] Sarah! [DOCTOR] Stay in there! [DOCTOR] In! --------------------------------------- (St Pauls Church) [DOCTOR] They can't get in. Old windows and doors. Okay. The oldersomething is, the stronger it is. What else? Go and check the otherdoors! Move! [JACKIE] What's happening? What are they? What are they? [DOCTOR] There's been an accident in time. A wound in time. They're likebacteria, taking advantage. [JACKIE] What do you mean, time? What're you jabbering on about, time? [DOCTOR] Oh, I might've known you'd argue. Jackie, I'm sick of youcomplaining. [JACKIE] How do you know my name? [DOCTOR] I haven't got time for this. [JACKIE] I've never met you in my life! [DOCTOR] No, and you never will unless I sort this out. Now, if youdon't mind, I've waited a long time to say this. Jackie Tyler, do as Isay. Go and check the doors. [JACKIE] Yes, sir. [DOCTOR] I should have done that ages ago. [STUART] My dad was out there. [DOCTOR] You can mourn him later. Right now we've got to concentrate onkeeping ourselves alive. [STUART] My dad had [DOCTOR] There's nothing I can do for him. [STUART] No, but he had this phone thing. I can't get it to work. I keepgetting this voice. [BELL [OC]] Watson, come here. I need you. Watson, come here. I needyou. [DOCTOR] That's the very first phone call. Alexander Graham Bell. Idon't think the telephone'sgoing to be much use. [STUART] But someone must have called the police. [DOCTOR] Police can't help you now. No one can. Nothing in this universecan harm those things. Time's been damaged and they've come tosterilise the wound.By consuming everything inside. [ROSE] Is this because? Is this my fault? --------------------------------------- (Outside St Pauls Church) [WOMAN] No! --------------------------------------- (Vestry) [PETE] There's smoke coming up from the city but no sirens. I don'tthink it's just us. I think these things are all over the place. Maybethe whole world. [PETE] Was that a car? [DOCTOR] It's not important. Don't worry about it. --------------------------------------- (St Pauls Church) [PETE] This mate of yours. What did he mean, this is your fault? [ROSE] Don't know. Just everything. [PETE] I gave you my car keys. You don't give your keys to a completestranger. It's, it's like I trusted you. Moment I met you, I just did.wound in time. You called me Dad. I can see it. My eyes, Jackie'sattitude. You sound like her when you shout. You are. You are. You'remy Rose. You're my Rose grown up. [ROSE] Dad. My Dad. My Daddy. [STUART] Excuse me, Mister [DOCTOR] Doctor. [STUART] You seem to know what's going on. [DOCTOR] I give that impression, yeah. [STUART] I just wanted to ask [SARAH] Can you save us? [DOCTOR] Who are you two, then? [STUART] Stuart Hoskins. [SARAH] Sarah Clark. [DOCTOR] And one extra. Boy or girl? [SARAH] I don't know. I don't want to know, really. [DOCTOR] How did all this get started? [STUART] Outside the Beatbox Club, two in the morning. [SARAH] Street corner. I'd lost my purse, didn't have money for a taxi. [STUART] I took her home. [DOCTOR] Then what? Asked her for a date? [SARAH] Wrote his number on the back of my hand. [STUART] Never got rid of her since. My dad said. [SARAH] I don't know what this is all about, and I know we're notimportant. [DOCTOR] Who said you're not important? I've travelled to all sorts ofplaces, done things you couldn't even imagine, but you two. Streetcorner, two in the morning, getting a taxi home. I've never had a lifelike that. Yes. I'll try and save you. --------------------------------------- (Vestry) [PETE] I'm a dad. I mean, I'm already a dad, butRose grows up and she's you. That's wonderful. I mean,I suppose I thought that you'd be a bit useless, what with my uselessgenes and all, but. Well, I mean, how did you get here? [ROSE] Do you really want to know? [PETE] Yeah. [ROSE] A time machine. [PETE] Time machine. [ROSE] Cross my heart. [PETE] What, do you all have time machines where you come from? [ROSE] No, just the Doctor. [PETE] Did you know these things were coming? [ROSE] No. [PETE] God, I don't know, my head's spinning. What's the future like? [ROSE] It's not so different. [PETE] What am I like? Have I gone grey? Have I gone bald? Don't tell meI've gone bald. So, if this mate of yours isn't your boyfriend and Ihave to say, I'm glad, because being your dad and all, I think he's abit old for you. Have you got a bloke? [ROSE] No, I did have. [JACKIE [OC]] Mickey! [PETE] Do you know him? [ROSE] I just didn't recognise him in a suit. You have to let go of me,sweetheart. I'm always saying that. [JACKIE] He just grabs hold of what's passing and holds on for dearlife. God help his poor girlfriend if he ever gets one. [PETE] Me and Rose were just talking. [JACKIE] Oh, yeah? Talking? While the world comes to an end, what do youdo? Cling to the youngest blonde. Come on, Mick. [ROSE] You can't tell her. [PETE] Why? [ROSE] I mean, I really don't want you to tell her. [PETE] What, do you don't want people to know? [ROSE] Where I come from, Jackie doesn't know how to work the timer onthe video recorder. [PETE] I showed her that last week. Point taken. --------------------------------------- (St Pauls Church) [DOCTOR] Now, Rose you're not going to bring about the end of the world,are you? Are you? [DOCTOR] Jackie gave her to me to look after. How times change. [ROSE] I'd better be careful. I think I just imprinted myself on Mickeylike a mother chicken. [DOCTOR] No. Don't touch the baby. You're both the same person. That's aparadox, and we don't want a paradox happening, not with these thingsoutside. Anything new, any disturbance in time makes them stronger. Theparadox might let them in. [ROSE] Can't do anything right, can I? [DOCTOR] Since you ask, no. So, don't touch the baby. [ROSE] I'm not stupid. [DOCTOR] You could have fooled me. All right, I'm sorry. I wasn't reallygoing toleave you on your own. [ROSE] I know. [DOCTOR] But between you and me, I haven't got a plan. No idea. No wayout. [ROSE] You'll think of something. [DOCTOR] The entire Earth's been sterilised. This, and other place likeit, are all that's left of the human race. We might hold out for awhile, but nothing can stop those creatures. They'll get through in theend. The walls aren't that old. And there's nothing I can do to stopthem. There used to be laws stopping this kind of thing from happening.My people would have stopped this. But they're all gone. And now I'mgoing the same way. [ROSE] If I'd realised. [DOCTOR] Just tell me you're sorry. [ROSE] I am. I'm sorry. [ROSE] Have you got something hot? [DOCTOR] It's the Tardis key! [DOCTOR] It's telling me it's still connected to the Tardis. [DOCTOR] The inside of my ship was thrown out of the wound but we canuse this to bring it back. And once I've got my ship back, then I canmend everything. Now, I just need a bit of power. Has anybody got abattery? [STUART] This one big enough? [DOCTOR] Fantastic. [STUART] Good old dad. There you go. [DOCTOR] Just need to do a bit of charging up and then we can bringeveryone back. [PETE] You, er, you never said why you came here in the first place. IfI had a time machine, I wouldn't have thought 1987 was anythingspecial. Not round here, anyway. [ROSE] We just ended up here. [PETE] Lucky for me, eh? If you hadn't been there to save me. [ROSE] That was just a coincidence. That was just really good luck. It'samazing. [PETE] So, in the future, are me and her indoors still together? [ROSE] Yeah. [PETE] Are you still living with us? [ROSE] Yep. [PETE] Am I a good dad? [ROSE] You, you told me a bedtime story every night when I was small.You were always there. You never missed one. And er, you took us forpicnics in the country every Saturday. You never let us down. You werethere for us all the time. Someone I could really rely on. [PETE] That's not me. [DOCTOR] Right, no one touches that key. Have you got that? Don't touchit. Anyone touches that key, it'll be, well, zap. Just leave it be andeverything will be fine. We'll get out of here. All of us. Stuart,Sarah you'regoing to get married, just like I said. [ROSE] When time gets sorted out [DOCTOR] Everybody here forgets what happened. And don't worry, thething that you changed will stay changed. [PETE] You mean I'll still be alive, though I'm meant to be dead. That'swhy I haven't done anything with my life, why I didn't mean anything. [DOCTOR] It doesn't work like that. [PETE] Rubbish. I'm so useless I couldn't even die properly. Now it's myfault all of this has happened. [ROSE] This is my fault. [PETE] No, love. I'm your dad. It's my job for it to be my fault. [JACKIE] Her dad? How are you her dad? How old were you, twelve? Oh,that's disgusting. [PETE] Jacks, listen. This is Rose. [JACKIE] Rose? How sick is that? You give my daughter a second handname? How many are there? Do you call them all Rose? [PETE] Oh, for God's sake, look. It's the same Rose! [DOCTOR] Rose! No! [DOCTOR] Everyone, behind me! I'm the oldest thing in here. [ROSE] Doctor! [ROSE] It's cold. The key's cold. Oh, my God, he's dead. This is all myfault. Both of you. All of you. The whole world. [BEV] This is it. There's nothing we can do. It's the end. [PETE] The Doctor really cared about you. He didn't want you to gothrough it again, not if there was another way. Now there isn't. [ROSE] What are you talking about? [PETE] The car that should have killed me, love. It's here. The Doctorworked it out way back, but he, er, he tried to protect me. Still, he'snot in charge anymore. I am. [ROSE] But you can't. [PETE] Who am I, love? [ROSE] My daddy. [PETE] Jackie, look at her. She's ours. [JACKIE] Oh, of course. [PETE] I'm meant to be dead, Jackie. You're going to get rid of me atlast. [JACKIE] Don't say that. [PETE] For once in your life, trust me. It's got be done. You've got tosurvive, because you've got to bring up our daughter. I never read youthose bedtime stories. I never took you on those picnics. I was neverthere for you. [ROSE] You would have been. [PETE] But I can do this for you. I can be a proper dad to you now. [ROSE] But it's not fair. [PETE] I've had all these extra hours. No one else in the world has everhad that. And on top of that, I got to see you. And you're beautiful.How lucky am I, eh? So, come on, do as your dad says. You going to bethere for me, love? Thanks for saving me. --------------------------------------- (Outside St Pauls Church) [PETE] Goodbye, love. --------------------------------------- (St Pauls Church) [DOCTOR] Go to him. Quick. --------------------------------------- (Outside St Pauls Church) [SARAH] What's that? [JACKIE [OC]] The driver was just a kid. --------------------------------------- (Memory - Jackie's bedroom) [JACKIE] He stopped, he waited for the police. Itwasn't his fault. For some reason, Pete just ran out. People say therewas this girl, and she sat with Pete while he was dying. She held hishand. Then she was gone. Never found out who she was. --------------------------------------- (Jordan Road) [ROSE [OC]] Peter Alan Tyler, my dad. The most wonderful man in theworld. Died the 7th of November, 1987.

It'sgot a very basic flight computer. I've hacked in, slaved the Tardis.Where it goes, we go. [ROSE] And that's safe, is it? [DOCTOR] Totally. [DOCTOR] Okay, reasonably. Should have said reasonably there. No, no,no, no! It's jumping time tracks, getting away from us. [ROSE] What exactly is this thing? [DOCTOR] No idea. [ROSE] Then why are we chasing it? [DOCTOR] It's mauve and dangerous, and about thirty seconds from thecentre of London. --------------------------------------- (Alleyway) [DOCTOR] Do you know how long you can knock around space withouthappening to bump into Earth? [ROSE] Five days? Or is that just when we're out of milk? [DOCTOR] Of all the species in all the Universe and it has to come outof a cow. [DOCTOR] Must have come down somewhere quite close. Within a mile,anyway. And it can't have been more than a few weeks ago. Maybe amonth. [ROSE] A month? We were right behind it. [DOCTOR] It was jumping time tracks all over the place. We're bound tobe a little bit out. Do you want to drive? [ROSE] Yeah. How much is a little? [DOCTOR] A bit. [ROSE] Is that exactly a bit? [DOCTOR] Ish. [ROSE] What's the plan, then? Are you going to do a scan for alien techor something? [DOCTOR] Rose, it hit the middle of London with a very loud bang. I'mgoing to ask. [ROSE] Doctor John Smith, Ministry of Asteroids.

[JIM] Yeah. Nancy always gets the best food for us. [DOCTOR] So, that's what you do, is it, Nancy? [NANCY] What is? [DOCTOR] As soon as the sirens go, you find a big fat family meal stillwarm on the table with everyone down in the air raid shelter and bingo!Feeding frenzy for the homeless kids of London Town. Puddings for all,as long as the bombs don't get you. [NANCY] Something wrong with that? [DOCTOR] Wrong with it? It's brilliant. I'm not sure if it's Marxism inaction or a West End musical. [NANCY] Why'd you follow me? What do you want? [DOCTOR] I want to know how a phone that isn't a phone gets a phonecall. You seem to be the one to ask. [NANCY] I did you a favour. I told you not to answer it, that's all I'mtelling you. [DOCTOR] Great, thanks. And I want to find a blonde in a Union Jack. Imean a specific one. I didn't just wake up this morning with a craving.Anybody seen a girl like that? [DOCTOR] What have I done wrong? [NANCY] You took two slices. No blondes, no flags. Anything else beforeyou leave? [DOCTOR] Yeah, there is actually. Thanks for asking. Something I've beenlooking for. Would've fallen from the sky about a month ago, but not abomb. Not the usual kind, anyway. Wouldn't have exploded. Probablywould have just buried itself in the ground somewhere, and it wouldhave looked something like this. [CHILD [OC]] Mummy? Are you in there, mummy? [CHILD [OC]] Mummy? [NANCY] Who was the last one in? [ERNIE] Him. [NANCY] No, he came round the back. Who came in the front? [ALF] Me. [NANCY] Did you close the door? [ALF] Er [NANCY] Did you close the door? [CHILD [OC]] Mummy? Mummy? Mummy? --------------------------------------- (The Lloyd's hallway) [DOCTOR] What's this, then? It's never easy being the only child leftout in the cold, you know.

[CHILD [OC]] Please let me in. [NANCY] You mustn't let him touch you! [DOCTOR] What happens if he touches me? [NANCY] He'll make you like him. [DOCTOR] And what's he like? [NANCY] I've got to go.

[ROSE] You got lights in here? [JACK] Hello. [ROSE] Hello. [JACK] Hello. [ROSE] Let's not start that again. [JACK] Okay. [ROSE] So, who're you supposed to be, then? [JACK] Captain Jack Harkness, One Three Three Squadron, Royal Air Force.American volunteer. [ROSE] Liar. This is psychic paper. It tells me whatever you want it totell me. [JACK] How do you know? [ROSE] Two things. One, I have a friend who uses this all the time. [JACK] Ah. [ROSE] And two, you just handed me a piece of paper telling me you'resingle and you work out. [JACK] Tricky thing, psychic paper. [ROSE] Yeah. Can't let your mind wander when you're handing it over. [JACK] Oh, you sort of have a boyfriend called Mickey Smith but youconsider yourself to be footloose and fancy free. [ROSE] What? [JACK] Actually, the word you use is available. [ROSE] No way. [JACK] And another one, very. [ROSE] Shall we try and get along without the psychic paper? [JACK] That would be better, wouldn't it? [ROSE] Nice spaceship. [JACK] Gets me around. [ROSE] Very Spock. [JACK] Who? [ROSE] Guessing you're not a local boy, then. [JACK] A cell phone, a liquid crystal watch, and fabrics that won't bearound for at least another two decades. Guessing you're not a localgirl. [ROSE] Guessing right. [JACK] Burn your hands on the rope? [ROSE] Yeah. We're parked in midair! Can't anyone down there see us? [JACK] No. Can I have a look at your hands for a moment? [ROSE] Why? [JACK] Please? You can stop acting now. I know exactly who you are. Ican spot a Time Agent a mile away. [ROSE] Time Agent? [JACK] I've been expecting one of you guys to show up. Though not, Imust say, by barrage balloon. Do you often travel that way? [ROSE] Sometimes I get swept off my feet. By balloons. What are youdoing? [JACK] Try to keep still. [JACK] Nanogenes. Sub-atomic robots. The air in here is full of them.They just repaired three layers of your skin. [ROSE] Well, tell them thanks. [JACK] Shall we get down to business? [ROSE] Business? [JACK] Shall we have a drink on the balcony? Bring up the glasses. --------------------------------------- (On Jack's spaceship) [ROSE] I know I'm standing on something. [ROSE] Okay, you have an invisible spaceship. [JACK] Yeah. [ROSE] Tethered up to Big Ben for some reason. [JACK] First rule of active camouflage. Park somewhere you'll remember. --------------------------------------- (Nancy's hide-out) [NANCY] How'd you follow me here? [DOCTOR] I'm good at following, me. Got the nose for it. [NANCY] People can't usually follow me if I don't want them to. [DOCTOR] My nose has special powers. [NANCY] Yeah? That's why it's [DOCTOR] What? [NANCY] Nothing. [DOCTOR] What? [NANCY] Nothing. Do your ears have special powers too? [DOCTOR] What are you trying to say? [NANCY] Goodnight, Mister. [DOCTOR] Nancy, there's something chasing you and the other kids. Lookslike a boy and it isn't a boy, and it started about a month ago, right?The thing I'm looking for, the thing that fell from the sky, that'swhen it landed. And you know what I'm talking about, don't you? [NANCY] There was a bomb. A bomb that wasn't a bomb. Fell the other endof Limehouse Green Station. [DOCTOR] Take me there. [NANCY] There's soldiers guarding it. Barbed wire. You'll never getthrough. [DOCTOR] Try me. [NANCY] You sure you want to know what's going on in there? [DOCTOR] I really want to know. [NANCY] Then there's someone you need to talk to first. [DOCTOR] And who might that be? [NANCY] The Doctor. --------------------------------------- (On Jack's spaceship) [ROSE] You know, it's getting a bit late. I shouldreally be getting back. [JACK] We're discussing business. [ROSE] This isn't business. This is champagne. [JACK] I try never to discuss business with a clear head. Are youtravelling alone? Are you authorised to negotiate with me? [ROSE] What would we be negotiating? [JACK] I have something for the Time Agency. Something they'd like tobuy. Are you in power to make payment? [ROSE] Well, I, I should talk to my companion. [JACK] Companion? [ROSE] I should really be getting back to him. [JACK] Him? [ROSE] Do you have the time? [ROSE] Okay, that was flash. That was on the flash side. [JACK] So when you say your companion, just how disappointed should Ibe? [ROSE] Okay, we're standing in midair. [JACK] Mmm-hmm. [ROSE] On a spaceship, during a German air raid. Do you really thinknow's a good time to be coming on to me ? [JACK] Perhaps not. [ROSE] It was just a suggestion. [JACK] Do you like Glenn Miller? [JACK] It's 1941, the height of the London Blitz, the height of theGerman bombing campaign, and something else has fallen on London. Afully equipped Chula warship. The last one in existence, armed to theteeth. And I know where it is, because I parked it. If the Agency canname the right price, I can get it for you. But in two hours, a Germanbomb isgoing to fall on it and destroy it forever. That's your deadline.That's the deal. Now, shall we discuss payment? [ROSE] Do you know what I think? [JACK] What? [ROSE] I think you were talking just then. [JACK] Two hours, the bomb falls. There'll be nothing left but dust anda crater. [ROSE] Promises, promises. [JACK] Are you listening to any of this? [ROSE] You used to be a Time Agent, now you're some kind of freelancer. [JACK] Well, that's a little harsh. I like to think of myself as acriminal. [ROSE] I bet you do. [JACK] So, this companion of yours, does he handle the business? [ROSE] Well, I delegate a lot of that, yeah. [JACK] Well, maybe we should go find him. [ROSE] And how're you going to do that? [JACK] Easy. I'll do a scan for alien tech. [ROSE] Finally, a professional. --------------------------------------- (Limehouse Green) [NANCY] The bomb's under that tarpaulin. They put the fence up overnight. See that building? The hospital. [DOCTOR] What about it? [NANCY] That's where the doctor is. You should talk to him. [DOCTOR] For now, I'm more interested in getting in there. [NANCY] Talk to the doctor first. [DOCTOR] Why? [NANCY] Because then maybe you won't want to get inside. [DOCTOR] Where're you going? [NANCY] There was a lot of food in that house. I've got mouths to feed.Should be safe enough now. [DOCTOR] Can I ask you a question? Who did you lose? [NANCY] What? [DOCTOR] The way you look after all those kids. It's because you lostsomebody, isn't it? You're doing all this to make up for it. [NANCY] My little brother. Jamie. One night I went out looking for food.Same night that thing fell. I told him not to follow me, I told him itwas dangerous, but he just. He just didn't like being on his own. [DOCTOR] What happened? [NANCY] In the middle of an air raid? What do you think happened? [DOCTOR] Amazing. [NANCY] What is? [DOCTOR] 1941. Right now, not very far from here, the German war machineis rolling up the map of Europe. Country after country, falling likedominoes. Nothing can stop it. Nothing. Until one, tiny, damp littleisland says no. No. Not here. A mouse in front of a lion. You'reamazing, the lot of you.Don't know what you do to Hitler, but you frighten the hell out of me.Off you go then do what you'vegot to do. Save the world. --------------------------------------- (Albion Hospital ward) [CONSTANTINE] You'll find them everywhere. In every bed, in every ward.Hundreds of them. [DOCTOR] Yes, I saw. Why are they still wearing gas masks? [CONSTANTINE] They're not. Who are you? [DOCTOR] I'm, er. Are you the doctor? [CONSTANTINE] Doctor Constantine. And you are? [DOCTOR] Nancy sent me. [CONSTANTINE] Nancy? That means you must've been asking about the bomb. [DOCTOR] Yes. [CONSTANTINE] What do you know about it? [DOCTOR] Nothing. Why I was asking. What do you know? [CONSTANTINE] Only what it's done. [DOCTOR] These people, they were all caught up in the blast? [CONSTANTINE] None of them were. [DOCTOR] You're very sick. [CONSTANTINE] Dying, I should think. I just haven't been able to findthe time. Are you a doctor? [DOCTOR] I have my moments. [CONSTANTINE] Have you examined any of them yet? [DOCTOR] No. [CONSTANTINE] Don't touch the flesh. [DOCTOR] Which one? [CONSTANTINE] Any one. [CONSTANTINE] Conclusions? [DOCTOR] Massive head trauma, mostly to the left side. Partial collapseof the chest cavity, mostly to the right. There's some scarring on theback of the hand and the gas mask seems to be fused to the flesh, but Ican't see any burns. [CONSTANTINE] Examine another one. [DOCTOR] This isn't possible. [CONSTANTINE] Examine another. [DOCTOR] This isn't possible. [CONSTANTINE] No. [DOCTOR] They've all got the same injuries. [CONSTANTINE] Yes. [DOCTOR] Exactly the same. [CONSTANTINE] Yes. [DOCTOR] Identical, all of them, right down to the scar on the back ofthe hand. [DOCTOR] How did this happen? How did it start? [CONSTANTINE] When that bomb dropped, there was just one victim. [DOCTOR] Dead? [CONSTANTINE] At first. His injuries were truly dreadful. By thefollowing morning, every doctor and nurse who had treated him, who hadtouched him, had those exact same injuries. By the morning after that,every patient in the same ward, the exact same injuries. Within a week,the entire hospital. Physical injuries as plague. Can you explain that?What would you say was the cause of death? [DOCTOR] The head trauma. [CONSTANTINE] No. [DOCTOR] Asphyxiation. [CONSTANTINE] No. [DOCTOR] The collapse of the chest cavity [CONSTANTINE] No. [DOCTOR] All right. What was the cause of death? [CONSTANTINE] There wasn't one. They're not dead. [CONSTANTINE] It's all right. They're harmless. They just sort of sitthere. No heartbeat, no life signs of any kind. They just don't die. [DOCTOR] And they've just been left here? Nobody's doing anything? [CONSTANTINE] I try and make them comfortable. What else is there? [DOCTOR] Just you? You're the only one here? [CONSTANTINE] Before this war began, I was a father and a grandfather.Now I am neither. But I'm still a doctor. [DOCTOR] Yeah. I know the feeling. [CONSTANTINE] I suspect the plan is to blow up the hospital and blame iton a German bomb. [DOCTOR] Probably too late. [CONSTANTINE] No. There are isolated cases. Isolated cases breaking outall over London. Stay back, stay back. Listen to me. Top floor. Roomeight oh two. That's where they took the first victim, the one from thecrash site. And you must find Nancy again. [DOCTOR] Nancy? [CONSTANTINE] It was her brother. She knows more than she's saying. Shewon't tell me, but she might Mummy. Are you my mummy? [JACK [OC]] Hello? [ROSE [OC]] Hello? [JACK [OC]] Hello? --------------------------------------- (Albion Hospital corridor) [JACK] Good evening. Hope we're not interrupting.Jack Harkness. I've been hearing all about you on the way over. [ROSE] He knows. I had to tell him about us being Time Agents. [JACK] And it's a real pleasure to meet you, Mister Spock. [DOCTOR] Mister Spock? [ROSE] What was I supposed to say? You don't have a name. Don't you everget tired of Doctor? Doctor who? [DOCTOR] Nine centuries in, I'm coping. Where've you been? We're in themiddle of a London Blitz. It's not a good time for a stroll. [ROSE] Who's strolling? I went by barrage balloon. Only way to see anair raid. [DOCTOR] What?! [ROSE] Listen, what's a Chula warship? [DOCTOR] Chula? --------------------------------------- (The Lloyds dining room) [CHILD [OC]] Please, mummy. Please let me in. I'm scared of the bombs,mummy. Please, mummy. [CHILD] Mummy. Mummy. --------------------------------------- (Albion Hospital ward) [JACK] This just isn't possible. How did this happen? [DOCTOR] What kind of Chula ship landed here? [JACK] What? [ROSE] He said it was a warship. He stole it, parked it somewhere outthere, somewhere a bomb'sgoing to fall on it unless we make him an offer. [DOCTOR] What kind of warship? [JACK] Does it matter? It's got nothing to do with this. [DOCTOR] This started at the bomb site. It's got everything to do withit. What kind of warship? [JACK] An ambulance! Look. [JACK] That's what you chased through the Time Vortex. It's space junk.I wanted to kid you it was valuable. It's empty. I made sure of it.Nothing but a shell. I threw it at you. Saw your time travel vehicle,love the retro look, by the way, nice panels. Threw you the bait [ROSE] Bait? [JACK] I wanted to sell it to you and then destroy it before you foundout it was junk. [ROSE] You said it was a war ship. [JACK] They have ambulances in wars. It was a con. I was conning you.That's what I am, I'm a con man. I thought you were Time Agents. You'renot, are you. [ROSE] Just a couple more freelancers. [JACK] Oh. Should have known. The way you guys are blending in with thelocal colour. I mean, Flag Girl was bad enough, but U-Boat Captain?Anyway, whatever's happening here has got nothing to do with that ship. [ROSE] What is happening here, Doctor? [DOCTOR] Human DNA is being rewritten by an idiot. [ROSE] What do you mean? [DOCTOR] I don't know. Some kind of virus converting human beings intothese things. But why? What's the point? --------------------------------------- (The Lloyds dining room) [CHILD] Mummy? Where's my mummy? Mummy? [CHILD] Are you my mummy? --------------------------------------- (Albion Hospital ward) [PATIENTS] Mummy. Mummy. Mummy? Mummy?ROSE [DOCTOR] I don't know. --------------------------------------- (The Lloyds dining room) [CHILD] Mummy? [NANCY] It's me. Nancy! --------------------------------------- (Albion Hospital ward) [PATIENTS] Mummy. [DOCTOR] Don't let them touch you. [ROSE] What happens if they touch us? [DOCTOR] You're looking at it. --------------------------------------- (The Lloyd's dining room) [CHILD] Are you my mummy?

What're you going to get for your mum? [MICKEY] I'm round there all the time now, you know. She does my dinneron a Sunday, talks about you all afternoon, yap yap yap. [ROSE] It's us! They're after us! [MICKEY] What's going on? What've we done? Why are they after us? [ROSE] Taxi! --------------------------------------- (Taxi) [ROSE] They're after the Doctor. [MICKEY] I can't even go shopping with you. We get attacked by a brassband. Who're you phoning? [ROSE] My mum. --------------------------------------- (The Tyler's flat) [JACKIE] She turns up, no warning. I've got nothing in. I said, Rose, ifyou want a Christmas dinner of meat paste, then so be it. --------------------------------------- (Taxi) [ROSE] Get off the phone! [MICKEY] Who were those Santa things? [ROSE] I don't know. But think about it. They were after us. What'simportant about us? Well, nothing, except the one thing we've gottucked up in bed. The Doctor. --------------------------------------- (The Tyler's flat - bedroom) [JACKIE] Oh, no. Don't come round, darling. No,flat's all topsy turvy. Yeah, she just barges in and litters the place.Yeah. No, I'll come round and see you on Boxing day. --------------------------------------- (The Tyler's flat) [JACKIE] So, save us a chipolata. [ROSE] Get off the phone. [JACKIE] It's only Bev. She says hello. [ROSE] Bev? Yeah. Look, it'll have to wait. Right, it's not safe. We'vegot to get out. Where can we go? [MICKEY] My mate Stan, he'll put us up. [ROSE] That's only two streets away. What about Mo? Where's she livingnow? [JACKIE] I don't know. Peak District. [ROSE] Well, we'll go to cousin Mo's then. [JACKIE] No, it's Christmas Eve! We're not going anywhere! What're youbabbling about? [ROSE] Mum. Where'd you get that tree? [ROSE] That's a new tree. Where'd you get it? [JACKIE] I thought it was you. [ROSE] How can it be me? [JACKIE] Well, you went shopping. There was a ring at the door, andthere it was! [ROSE] No, that wasn't me. [JACKIE] Then who was it ? [ROSE] Oh, you're kidding me. [MICKEY] Get out! Go, go! Get out! [ROSE] We've got to save the Doctor. [JACKIE] What're you doing? [ROSE] We can't just leave him. [JACKIE] Mickey! [JACKIE] Leave it! Get out! Get out! [ROSE] Mickey! [JACKIE] Get out of there! --------------------------------------- (The Tyler's flat - bedroom) [JACKIE] No, leave him. Just leave him! [MICKEY] Get in here! [ROSE] Doctor, wake up! [JACKIE] I'm going to get killed by a Christmas tree! [ROSE] Help me. [DOCTOR] Remote control. But who's controlling it? --------------------------------------- (Outside the flat) [MICKEY] That's them. What are they? [ROSE] Shush! [MICKEY] They've just gone. What kind of rubbish were they? I mean, nooffence, but they're not much cop if a sonic screwdriver'sgoing to scare them off. [DOCTOR] Pilot fish. [ROSE] What? [DOCTOR] They were just pilot fish. [ROSE] What's wrong? [DOCTOR] You woke me up too soon. I'm still regenerating. I'm burstingwith energy. [DOCTOR] You see? The pilot fish could smell it a million miles away. Sothey eliminate the defence, that's you lot, and they carry me off. Theycould run their batteries on me for a couple of ow! [JACKIE] Oh! Oh! Oh! [DOCTOR] My head! I'm having a neuron implosion. I need [JACKIE] What do you need? [DOCTOR] I need [JACKIE] Say it. Tell me, tell me, tell me. [DOCTOR] I need [JACKIE] Painkillers? [DOCTOR] I need [JACKIE] Do you need aspirin? [DOCTOR] I need [JACKIE] Codeine? Paracetamol? Oh, I don't know, Pepto-Bismol? [DOCTOR] I need [JACKIE] Liquid paraffin. Vitamin C? Vitamin D? Vitamin E? [DOCTOR] I need [JACKIE] Is it food? Something simple. Bowl of soup. A nice bowl ofsoup? Soup and a sandwich? Soup and a little ham sandwich? [DOCTOR] I need you to shut up. [JACKIE] Oh, he hasn't changed that much, has he? [DOCTOR] We haven't got much time. If there's pilot fish, then. Why'sthere an apple in my dressing gown? [JACKIE] Oh, that's Howard. Sorry. [DOCTOR] He keeps apples in his dressing gown? [JACKIE] He gets hungry. [DOCTOR] What, he gets hungry in his sleep? [JACKIE] Sometimes. [DOCTOR] Argh! Brain collapsing. The pilot fish. The pilot fish meanthat something, something, something is coming. --------------------------------------- (The Tyler's flat) [MICKEY] Jackie, I'm using the phone line. Is that all right? [JACKIE] Yeah. Keep a count of it. It's midnight. Christmas day. Anychange? [ROSE] He's worse. Just one heart beating. [REPORTER [on TV]] Scientists in charge of Britain's mission to Marshave re-established contact with the Guinevere One space probe. They'reexpecting the first transmission from the planet's surface in the nextfew minutes. [LLEWELLYN [on TV]] Yes, we are. We're, we're back on schedule. We'vereceived the signal from Guinevere One. The Mars landing would seem tobe an unqualified success. [MAN [OC]] But is it true that you completely lost contact earliertonight? --------------------------------------- (Press conference) [LLEWELLYN] Yes, we had a bit of a scare. Guinevereseemed to fall off the scope, but it, it was just a blip. Onlydisappeared for a few seconds. --------------------------------------- (The Tyler's flat) [LLEWELLYN [on TV]] She is fine now, absolutelyfine. We're getting the first pictures transmitted live any minute now.I'd better get back to it, thanks. [MICKEY] Here we go, pilot fish. Scavengers, like the Doctor said.Harmless. They're tiny. But the point is, the little fish swimalongside the big fish. [ROSE] Do you mean like sharks? [MICKEY] Great big sharks. So, what the Doctor means is, we had them,now we get that. [ROSE] Something is coming. How close? [MICKEY] There's no way of telling, but the pilot fish don't swim farfrom their daddy. [ROSE] So, it's close? [JACKIE] Funny sort of rocks. [NEWSREADER [on TV]] The first photographs [ROSE] That's not rocks [NEWSREADER [on TV]] This image is being transmitted via missioncontrol, coming live from the depths of space on Christmas morning. [NEWSREADER] The face of an alien life form was transmitted live tonighton BBC1. [NEWSREADER 2] (USA) On the 25th of December, the human race has beenshown absolute proof that alien life exists. [NEWSREADER 3] These remarkable images have been relayed right acrossthe world. --------------------------------------- (Tower of London) [BLAKE] This way, sir. --------------------------------------- (UNIT HQ) [BLAKE] Mister Llewellyn. [LLEWELLYN] Mister Llewellyn, ma'am. [HARRIET] Harriet Jones. Prime Minister. [LLEWELLYN] Oh. Well, yes, I know who you are. I suppose I've ruinedyour Christmas. [HARRIET] Never off duty. Now, we've put out a cover story. Alex hasbeen handling it. [ALEX] We've said it was a hoax. Some sort of mask or prosthetics.Students hi-jacking the signal, that sort of thing. [HARRIET] Alex is my right hand man. I'm not used to having a right handman. I quite like it, though. [ALEX] I quite like it myself. [LLEWELLYN] I don't suppose there's any chance it was a hoax? [HARRIET] That would be nice. Then we could all go home. I don't supposeanyone's offered you a coffee? [LLEWELLYN] No. [HARRIET] But, no, the transmission was genuine. And this seems to be anew species of alien. At least, not one we've encountered before. [LLEWELLYN] You seem to be talking about aliens as a matter of fact. [HARRIET] There's an Act of Parliament banning my autobiography. [BLAKE] Prime Minister? [HARRIET] I'm with you. [BLAKE] Miss Jacobs can explain. [HARRIET] I don't think we've been introduced. Harriet Jones, PrimeMinister. [SALLY] Yes, I know who you are. The transmission didn't come from thesurface of Mars. Guinevere One was broadcasting from a point fivethousand miles above the planet. [BLAKE] In other words, they've got a ship and the probe is on board. [LLEWELLYN] But if they're not from the surface, then they might not befrom Mars itself. Maybe they're not actual Martians. [BLAKE] Of course not. Martians look completely different. We think theship was in flight when they just came across the probe. [SALLY] And they're moving. The ship's still in flight now. We've got iton the Hubble array. [HARRIET] Moving in which direction? [SALLY] Towards us. [HARRIET] How fast? [SALLY] Very fast. [HARRIET] What was your name, again? [SALLY] Sally. [HARRIET] Thank you, Sally. --------------------------------------- (The Tyler's flat) [MICKEY] Rose. Take a look. I've got access to themilitary. They're tracking a spaceship. It's big, it's fast, and it'scoming this way. [ROSE] Coming for what, though? The Doctor? [MICKEY] I don't know. Maybe it's coming for all of us. [MICKEY] Have you seen them before? [ROSE] No. --------------------------------------- (UNIT HQ) [BLAKE] Translation software. [ALEX] Yes, sir. --------------------------------------- (The Tyler's flat) [ROSE] I don't understand what they're saying. TheTardis translates alien languages inside my head, all the time,wherever I am. [MICKEY] So, why isn't it doing it now? [ROSE] I don't know. Must be the Doctor. Like he's part of the circuit,and he's, he's broken. --------------------------------------- (UNIT HQ) [BLAKE] I'm getting demands from Washington, ma'am.The President's insisting that he take control of the situation. [HARRIET] You can tell the President, and please use these exact words,he's not my boss, and he's certainly not turning this into a war. [HARRIET] What have we got? [ALEX] Nothing yet. Translating an alien language is going to take time. [BLAKE] How far off is the ship? [ALEX] About five hours. --------------------------------------- (The Tyler's flat - bedroom) [NEWS READER 2 [on TV]] Despite claims of an alienhoax, it's been reported that NATO forces are on red alert. [JACKIE] Oh, come on, sweetheart. What do you need? What is it you need?Tell me. [NEWSREADER [on TV]] Speaking strictly off the record, governmentsources are calling this our longest night. --------------------------------------- (UNIT HQ) [HARRIET] I don't suppose we've had a Code Nine? Nosign of the Doctor? [BLAKE] Nothing yet. You've met him, haven't you? More like the stuff oflegend. [HARRIET] He is that. Failing him, what about Torchwood? [BLAKE] I [HARRIET] I know I'm not supposed to know about it, I realise that. Noteven the United Nations knows. But if ever there was a need forTorchwood, it's now. [BLAKE] I can't take responsibility. [HARRIET] I can. See to it. Get them ready. [ALEX] Prime Minister. [HARRIET] Has it worked? [ALEX] Just about. People. That could be cattle. You belong to us. Tothe Sycorax. They seem to be called Sycorax, not Martians. We own you.We now possess your land, your minerals, your precious stones. You willsurrender or they will die. Sycorax strong, Sycorax mighty, Sycoraxrock, as in the modern sense, they rock. [LLEWELLYN] They will die? Not you will die, they will die? Who's they? [ALEX] I don't know, but it is the right personal pronoun. It's they. [HARRIET] Send them a reply. Tell them, this is a day of peace on planetEarth. Tell them, we extend that peace to the Sycorax. And then tellthem, this planet is armed and we do not surrender. [SALLY] Come on. --------------------------------------- (The Tyler's flat - bedroom) [ROSE] The Doctor wouldn't do this. The old Doctor, the proper Doctor,he'd wake up. He'd save us. [MICKEY] You really love him, don't you? --------------------------------------- (UNIT HQ) [SALLY] They got the message. Here comes the response. [HARRIET] What was that? Was that a reply? [ALEX] I don't know. It looked like some sort of energy, or static? [LLEWELLYN] Almost like someone casting a spell. [LLEWELLYN] Maybe it's a different form of language, some sort ofideogram or pictogram. [LLEWELLYN] What the hell? It's the light. It's the same light, Sally,what're you doing? Sally? [HARRIET] Oh, leave her. You'll hurt her. [BLAKE] Let them pass! [LLEWELLYN] Where are they going? --------------------------------------- (Outside the flat) [SANDRA] What is wrong with you? Jason? Jason? [ROSE] Sandra? [SANDRA] He won't listen. He's just walking. He won't stop walking!There's this sort of light thing. Jason? Stop it right now! Please,Jason, just stop. --------------------------------------- (UNIT HQ) [HARRIET] They're all heading in the same direction. [LLEWELLYN] It's only certain people. Why isn't it affecting us? [ALEX] Prime Minister, it's happening all over the country. --------------------------------------- (Residential street) [WOMAN] Alan, come on, now stop this. It's not funnyanymore. Come on, Alan, come back inside the house. Katrine. Katrine,listen to mummy. You come back inside now. And you, Jonathan. You comeback in with mummy. Jonathon, come back in with mummy. You're scaringme now! Come on! Alan, help me out here, please. [POLICEMAN] As far as I can tell, they're heading for any sort ofhigh-rise building. Anything with stairs, anything with steps. --------------------------------------- (Staircase) [LLEWELLYN] They're going all the way up. They'regoing to the roof. [POLICEMAN] Just making my way to the front of the building now. There'shundreds of them. Oh, God. They've gone right to the edge. They'regoing to jump. They're all going to jump! --------------------------------------- (Tower rooftop) [LLEWELLYN] Sally, stop it. It's Danny Llewellyn.Daniel Llewellyn. Sally, just concentrate. Listen to me. You're beingcontrolled. We need you! Stop it, Sally! --------------------------------------- (Flats rooftop) [SANDRA] Jason, I'm talking to you! Just stop! --------------------------------------- (UNIT HQ) [ALEX] It's not just the whole country. It's thewhole world. --------------------------------------- (Street level) [POLICEMAN] They've stopped. They've all stopped.They're just standing there, right on the edge. --------------------------------------- (UNIT HQ) [ALEX] According to reports, it's like a third. Onethird of the world's population. That's two billion people ready tojump. --------------------------------------- (Tower rooftop) [LLEWELLYN] Surrender or they will die. --------------------------------------- (Flats rooftop) [MICKEY] What do we do? [ROSE] Nothing. There's no one to save us. Not anymore. --------------------------------------- (UNIT HQ) [ALEX] Wait a minute. There is a pattern. All thesepeople tend to be father and son, mother and daughter, brothers andsisters. Family groups, but not husbands and wives. [LLEWELLYN] Oh, my God. It's Guinevere One. Have you got medical recordson file for all your staff? [ALEX] Of course we have, yes. [HARRIET] What about Torchwood? [BLAKE] Still working on it. Bear in mind they have just lost a third oftheir staff. [HARRIET] But do they have what we need? [BLAKE] Yes, ma'am. [HARRIET] Well, tell them to hurry up. [LLEWELLYN] Here it is. Sally Jacobs, blood group A Positive. Who elsewalked out? [ALEX] Luke Parsons. [LLEWELLYN] Luke Parsons, A Positive. [ALEX] Jeffery Baxter. [LLEWELYN] Baxter, A Positive. That's it. They're all A Positive. [BLAKE] How many people in the world are A Positive? [LLEWELLYN] No idea, but I bet it's one third. [BLAKE] What's so special about that blood group? [LLEWELLYN] Nothing, but it's my fault. Guinevere One. It's got one ofthose plaques identifying the human race. A message to the stars. Imean, you don't expect anything to come of it, but I put on maps andmusic and samples. There's wheat seeds, and water, and, and blood. APositive. The Sycorax have got a vial of A Positive. And, well, I don'tknow how, but through that [HARRIET] They control the blood. [LLEWELLYN] Oh, my God. [HARRIET] There's only one more thing I can try. Major, with me. --------------------------------------- (Studio) [HARRIET] Ladies and gentlemen, if I may take a moment during thisterrible time. It's hardly the Queen's speech. I'm afraid that's beencancelled. (to an aide) Did we ask about the royal family? Oh. They'reon the roof. --------------------------------------- (The Tyler's flat) [HARRIET [on TV]] But, ladies and gentlemen, thiscrisis is unique, and I'm afraid to say, it might get much worse. Iwould ask you all to remain calm. But I have one request. Doctor, ifyou're out there, we need you. I don't know what to do. If you can hearme, Doctor. If anyone knows the Doctor, if anyone can find him, thesituation has never been more desperate. Help us. Please, Doctor. Helpus. God help us. [ROSE] He's gone. The Doctor's gone. He's left me, mum. He's left me,mum. [JACKIE] It's all right. I'm sorry. --------------------------------------- (UNIT HQ) [LLEWELLYN] Sonic wave! It's the spaceship. It's hitthe atmosphere! --------------------------------------- (The Tyler's flat - bedroom) [ROSE] Mickey, we're going to carry him. Mum, getyour stuff, and get some food. We're going. [MICKEY] Where to? [ROSE] The Tardis. It's the only safe place on Earth. [JACKIE] What're we going to do in there? [ROSE] Hide. [JACKIE] Is that it? [ROSE] Mum, look in the sky. There's a great, big, alien invasion and Idon't know what to do, all right? I've travelled with him, and I'veseen all that stuff, but when I'm stuck at home, I'm useless. Now, allwe can do is run and hide, and I'm sorry. Now, move. Oh, lift him up. --------------------------------------- (UNIT HQ) [LLEWELLYN] They're transmitting. Onscreen. [ALEX] Will the leader of this world stand forward. [HARRIET] I'm proud to represent this planet. [ALEX] Come aboard. [HARRIET] Well, how do I do that? [LLEWELLYN] What's happening? [HARRIET] I would imagine it's called a teleport. --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [LLEWELLYN] It's a helmet. They might be like us. [LLEWELLYN] Or not. --------------------------------------- (Outside the flat) [ROSE] Mum, will you just leave that stuff and give us a hand? [JACKIE] It's food! You said we need food. [ROSE] Just leave it! --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [ALEX] You will surrender, or I will release the final curse and yourpeople will jump. [LLEWELLYN] If I can speak. [BLAKE] Mister Llewellyn, you're a civilian. [LLEWELLYN] No, I sent out the probe. I started it. I made contact withthese people. This whole thing's my responsibility. With respect sir.The human race is taking it's first step towards the stars, but we arelike children compared to you. Children who need help. Children whoneed compassion. I beg of you now, show that compassion. [BLAKE] That man was your prisoner! Even your species must have articlesof war, forbidding [HARRIET] Harriet Jones, Prime Minister. [ALEX] Yes, we know who you are. Surrender or they will die. [HARRIET] If I do surrender, how would that be better? [ALEX] Half is sold into slavery or one third dies. Your choice. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [MICKEY] No chance you could fly this thing? [ROSE] Not anymore, no. [MICKEY] Well, you did it before. [ROSE] I know, but it's sort of been wiped out of my head, like it'sforbidden. Try that again and I think the Universe rips in half. [MICKEY] Ah, better not, then. [ROSE] Maybe not. [MICKEY] So, what do we do? Just sit here? [ROSE] That's as good as it gets. [JACKIE] Right, here we go. Nice cup of tea. [ROSE] Mmm, the solution to everything. [JACKIE] Now, stop your moaning. I'll get the rest of the food. [MICKEY] Tea. Like we're having a picnic while the world comes to anend. Very British. How does this thing work? If it picks up TV, maybewe could see what's going on out there. Maybe we've surrendered. Whatdo you do to it? [ROSE] I don't know. It sort of tunes itself. --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [ALEX] The noise. The bleeping. They say it'smachinery. Foreign machinery. They're accusing us of hiding it.Conspiring. Bring it on board. --------------------------------------- (Powell Estate) [JACKIE] Rose? [JACKIE] Rose! --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [MICKEY] Maybe it's a distress signal. [ROSE] A fat lot of good that's going to do. [MICKEY] Are you going to be a misery all the time? [ROSE] Yes. [MICKEY] You should look at it from my point of view, stuck in here withyour mum's cooking. [ROSE] Where is she? I'd better give her a hand. It might start rainingmissiles out there. [MICKEY] Tell her anything from a tin, that's fine. [ROSE] Why don't you tell her yourself? [MICKEY] I'm not that brave. [ROSE] Oh, I don't know. [MICKEY] Rose? --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [ROSE] Get off! Get off me! [ROSE] The door! Close the door! [HARRIET] Rose. Rose! I've got you. My Lord. Oh, my precious thing. TheDoctor, is he with you? [ROSE] No. We're on our own. [ALEX] The yellow girl. She has the clever blue box. Therefore, shespeaks for your planet. [HARRIET] But she can't. [ROSE] Yeah, I can. [MICKEY] Don't you dare. [ROSE] Someone's got to be the Doctor. [HARRIET] They'll kill you. [ROSE] Never stopped him. I, er, I address the Sycorax according toArticle Fifteen of the Shadow Proclamation. I command you to leave thisworld with all the authority of the Slitheen Parliament ofRaxacoricofallapatorius, and er, the Gelth Confederacy as er,sanctioned by the Mighty Jagrafess and, oh, the Daleks! Now, leave thisplanet in peace! In peace. [ALEX] You are very, very funny. And now you're going to die. [HARRIET] Leave her alone! [MICKEY] Don't touch her! [HARRIET] Leave her alone. [ALEX] Did you think you were clever with your stolen words? We are theSycorax, we stride the darkness. Next to us you are but a wailingchild. If you are the best your planet can offer as a champion [SYCORAX] Then your world will be gutted [ALEX] Then your world will be gutted [SYCORAX] And your people enslaved. [ALEX] Hold on, that's English. [HARRIET] He's talking English. [ROSE] You're talking English. [SYCORAX] I would never dirty my tongue with your primitive bile. [ROSE] That's English. Can you hear English? [MICKEY] Yeah, that's English. [ALEX] Definitely English. [SYCORAX] I speak only Sycoraxic! [ROSE] If I can hear English, then it's being translated. Which meansit's working. Which means [DOCTOR] Did you miss me? [DOCTOR] You could have someone's eye out with that. [SYCORAX] How dare! [DOCTOR] You just can't get the staff. Now, you, just wait. I'm busy.Mickey, hello! And Harriet Jones MP for Flydale North. Blimey, it'slike This Is Your Life. Tea! That's all I needed, a good cup of tea!Superheated infusion of free radicals and tannin. Just the thing forhealing the synapses. Now, first thing's first. Be honest, how do Ilook? [ROSE] Er, different. [DOCTOR] Good different or bad different? [ROSE] Just different. [DOCTOR] Am I ginger? [ROSE] No, you're just sort of brown. [DOCTOR] I wanted to be ginger. I've never been ginger. And you, RoseTyler, fat lot of good you were. You gave up on me. Oh, that's rude.That's the sort of man I am now, am I? Rude. Rude and not ginger. [HARRIET] I'm sorry. Who is this? [DOCTOR] I'm the Doctor. [ROSE] He's the Doctor. [HARRIET] But what happened to my Doctor? Or is it a title that's justpassed on? [DOCTOR] I'm him. I'm literally him. Same man, new face. Well, neweverything. [HARRIET] But you can't be. [DOCTOR] Harriet Jones, we were trapped in Downing Street and the onething that scared you wasn't the aliens, it wasn't the war, it was thethought of your mother being on her own. [HARRIET] Oh, my God. [DOCTOR] Did you win the election? [HARRIET] Landslide majority. [SYCORAX] If I might interrupt. [DOCTOR] Yes, sorry. Hello, big fellow. [SYCORAX] Who exactly are you? [DOCTOR] Well, that's the question. [SYCORAX] I demand to know who you are! [DOCTOR] I don't know! See, there's the thing. I'm the Doctor, butbeyond that, I just don't know. I literally do not know who I am. It'sall untested. Am I funny? Am I sarcastic? Sexy? Right old misery? Lifeand soul? Right handed? Left handed? A gambler? A fighter? A coward? Atraitor? A liar? A nervous wreck? I mean, judging by the evidence, I'vecertainly got a gob. And how am I going to react when I see this, agreat big threatening button. A great big threatening button which mustnot be pressed under any circumstances, am I right? Let me guess. It'ssome sort of control matrix, hmm? Hold on, what's feeding it? [DOCTOR] And what've we got here? Blood? Yeah, definitely blood. Humanblood. A Positive, with just a dash of iron. Ah, but that means bloodcontrol. Blood control! Oh, I haven't seen blood control for years.You're controlling all the A Positives. Which leaves us with a greatbig stinking problem. Because I really don't know who I am. I don'tknow when to stop. So if I see a great big threatening button whichshould never, ever, ever be pressed, then I just want to do this. [ROSE + HARRIET] No! --------------------------------------- (Flats rooftop) [JASON] What the hell am I doing up here? [SANDRA] Get away from the edge! --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [ALEX] You killed them! [DOCTOR] What do you think, big fellow? Are they dead? [SYCORAX] We allow them to live. [DOCTOR] Allow? You've no choice. I mean, that's all blood control is. Acheap bit of voodoo. Scares the pants off you, but that's as far as itgoes. It's like hypnosis. You can hypnotise someone to walk like achicken or sing like Elvis. You can't hypnotise them to death. Survivalinstinct's too strong. [SYCORAX] Blood control was just one form of conquest. I can summon thearmada and take this world by force. [DOCTOR] Well, yeah, you could, yeah, you could do that, of course youcould. But why? Look at these people. These human beings. Considertheir potential. From the day they arrive on the planet and blinkingstep into the sun, there is more to see than can ever be seen. More todo than. No, hold on. Sorry, that's The Lion King. But the point stillstands. Leave them alone! [SYCORAX] Or what? [DOCTOR] Or [DOCTOR] I challenge you. [DOCTOR] Oh, that struck a chord. Am I right that the sanctified rulesof combat still apply? [SYCORAX] You stand as this world's champion. [DOCTOR] Thank you. I've no idea who I am, but you just summed me up. [DOCTOR] So, you accept my challenge? Or are you just a cranak pelcasacree salvak? [SYCORAX] For the planet? [DOCTOR] For the planet. [ROSE] Look out! [DOCTOR] Oh, yeah, that helps. Wouldn't have thought of that otherwise,thanks. [DOCTOR] Bit of fresh air? --------------------------------------- (Spaceship hull) [DOCTOR] Stay back! Invalidate the challenge and he wins the planet. [DOCTOR] You cut my hand off. [SYCORAX] Ya! Sycorax! [DOCTOR] And now I know what sort of man I am. I'm lucky. Because quiteby chance I'm still within the first fifteen hours of my regenerationcycle, which means I've got just enough residual cellular energy to dothis. [SYCORAX] Witchcraft. [DOCTOR] Time Lord. [ROSE] Doctor! [DOCTOR] Oh, so I'm still the Doctor, then? [ROSE] No arguments from me! [DOCTOR] Want to know the best bit? This new hand? It's a fighting hand! [DOCTOR] I win. [SYCORAX] Then kill me. [DOCTOR] I'll spare your life if you'll take this Champion's command.Leave this planet, and never return. What do you say? [SYCORAX] Yes. [DOCTOR] Swear on the blood of your species. [SYCORAX] I swear. [DOCTOR] There we are, then. Thanks for that. Cheers, big fellow. [HARRIET] Bravo! [ROSE] That says it all. Bravo! [DOCTOR] Ah, not bad for a man in his jim-jams. [DOCTOR] Very Arthur Dent. Now, there was a nice man. Hold on, what haveI got in here? A satsuma. Ah, that friend of your mothers. He does likehis snacks doesn't he? But doesn't that just sum up Christmas? You gothrough all those presents and right at the end, tucked away at thebottom, there's always one stupid old satsuma. Who wants a satsuma? [DOCTOR] No second chances. I'm that sort of a man. --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [DOCTOR] By the ancient rites of combat, I forbidyou to scavenge here for the rest of time. And when go you back to thestars and tell others of this planet, when you tell them of it'sriches, it's people, it's potential. When you talk of the Earth, thenmake sure that you tell them this. It is defended. --------------------------------------- (Road) [ROSE] Where are we? [MICKEY] We're just off Bloxom Road. We're just round the corner, we didit! [DOCTOR] Wait a minute, wait a minute. [MICKEY] Go on, my son! Oh, yeah! [ROSE] Yeah! Don't come back! [MICKEY] It is defended! [HARRIET] My Doctor. [DOCTOR] Prime Minister. [HARRIET] Absolutely the same man. Are there many more out there? [DOCTOR] Oh, not just Sycorax. Hundreds of species. Thousands of them.And the human race is drawing attention to itself. Every day you'resending out probes and messages and signals. This planet's so noisy.You're getting noticed more and more. You'd better get used to it. [JACKIE] Rose! [ROSE] Mum! [DOCTOR] Oh, talking of trouble. [JACKIE] Oh, my God! You did it, Rose! Oh! [ROSE] You did it too! It was the tea. Fixed his head. [DOCTOR] That was all I needed, cup of tea. [JACKIE] I said so. [ROSE] Look at him. [JACKIE] Is it him, though? Is it really the Doctor? Oh, my God, it'sthe bleeding Prime Minister! [DOCTOR] Come here, you. [JACKIE] Are you better? [DOCTOR] I am, yeah. [ALEX] It's a message from Torchwood. They say they're ready. [JACKIE] You left me. [ROSE] I'm sorry. [JACKIE] I had all the food. [HARRIET] Tell them to fire. [ALEX] Fire at will. [ROSE] What is that? What's happening? [DOCTOR] That was murder. [HARRIET] That was defence. It's adapted from alien technology. A shipthat fell to Earth ten years ago. [DOCTOR] But they were leaving. [HARRIET] You said yourself, Doctor, they'd go back to the stars andtell others about the Earth. I'm sorry, Doctor, but you're not here allthe time. You come and go. It happened today. Mister Llewellyn and theMajor, they were murdered. They died right in front of me while youwere sleeping. In which case we have to defend ourselves. [DOCTOR] Britain's Golden Age. [HARRIET] It comes with a price. [DOCTOR] I gave them the wrong warning. I should've told them to run asfast as they can, run and hide because the monsters are coming. Thehuman race. [HARRIET] Those are the people I represent. I did it on their behalf. [DOCTOR] Then I should have stopped you. [HARRIET] What does that make you, Doctor? Another alien threat? [DOCTOR] Don't challenge me, Harriet Jones, because I'm a completely newman. I could bring down your Government with a single word. [HARRIET] You're the most remarkable man I've ever met, but I don'tthink you're quite capable of that. [DOCTOR] No, you're right. Not a single word, just six. [HARRIET] I don't think so. [DOCTOR] Six words. [HARRIET] Stop it! [DOCTOR] Six. [DOCTOR] Don't you think she looks tired? [HARRIET] What did he say? [ALEX] Oh, well, nothing, really. [HARRIET] What did he say? [ALEX] Nothing. I don't know. [HARRIET] Doctor! Doctor, what did you? What was that? What did he say?What did you say, Doctor? Doctor! I'm sorry. --------------------------------------- (The Tyler's flat) [SINGER] When I woke up today and the world seemed a restless place, itcould have been that way for me. [SINGER] Then I wandered around and I thought of your face thatChristmas looking back at me. [SINGER] I wish today was just like every other day. Cause today hasbeen the best day. [SINGER] Everything I ever dreamed. Then I started to walk, pretty soonI will run. And I'll be running back to you. Because I followed mystar, and that's what you are. I've had a merry time with you. [SINGER] I wish today was just like every other day. [DOCTOR] Oh, that's yours. [ROSE] It's pink! Mum, it should be yours. Look, it's Harriet Jones. [MAN [on TV]] Prime Minister, is it true you are no longer fit to be inposition? [HARRIET [on TV]] No. Now, can we talk about other things? [MAN [on TV]] Is it true you're unfit for office? [HARRIET [on TV]] Look, there is nothing wrong with my health. I don'tknow where these stories are coming from. And a vote of no confidenceis completely unjustified. [MAN [on TV]] Are you going to resign? [HARRIET [on TV]] On today of all days, I'm fine. Look at me, I'm fine.I look fine, I feel fine. [JACKIE] It's Beth. She says go and look outside. [ROSE] Why? [JACKIE] I don't know, just go outside and look. Come on, shift! --------------------------------------- (Powell Estate) [ROSE] Oh, it's beautiful. What are they, meteors? [DOCTOR] It's the spaceship breaking up in the atmosphere. This isn'tsnow, it's ash. [ROSE] Okay, not so beautiful. [DOCTOR] This is a brand new planet Earth. No denying the existence ofaliens now. Everyone saw it. Everything's new. [ROSE] And what about you? What are you going to do next? [DOCTOR] Well, back to the Tardis. Same old life. [ROSE] On your own? [DOCTOR] Why, don't you want to come? [ROSE] Well, yeah. [DOCTOR] Do you, though? [ROSE] Yeah! [DOCTOR] I just thought, because I changed. [ROSE] Yeah, I thought, because you changed you might not want meanymore. [DOCTOR] Oh, I'd love you to come, [ROSE] Okay. [MICKEY] You're never going to stay, are you? [ROSE] There's just so much out there. So much to see. I've got to. [MICKEY] Yeah. [JACKIE] Well, I reckon you're mad, the pair of you. It's like you golooking for trouble. [DOCTOR] Trouble's just the bits in-between. It's all waiting out there,Jackie, and it's brand new to me. All those planets, and creatures andhorizons. I haven't seem them yet! Not with these eyes. And it is goingto be fantastic. [ROSE] That hand of yours still gives me the creeps. [ROSE] So, where're we going to go first? [DOCTOR] Er, that way. No, hold on. That way. [ROSE] That way? [DOCTOR] Hmm? [ROSE] Yeah, that way.

What's that smell? [DOCTOR] Apple grass. [ROSE] Apple grass. [DOCTOR] Yeah, yeah. [ROSE] It's beautiful. Oh, I love this. Can I just say, travelling withyou, I love it. [DOCTOR] Me too. Come on. --------------------------------------- (Basement room) [CHIP] Human! She's pure-blood human! Closer, closer. --------------------------------------- (New Earth) [DOCTOR] So, the year five billion, the sun expands, the Earth getsroasted. [ROSE] That was our first date. [DOCTOR] We had chips. So anyway, planet gone, all rocks and dust, butthe human race lives on, spread out across the stars. Soon as the Earthburns up, oh yeah, they get all nostalgic, big revival movement, butthen find this place. Same size as the Earth, same air, same orbit.Lovely. Call goes out, the humans move in. [ROSE] What's the city called? [DOCTOR] New New York. [ROSE] Oh, come on. [DOCTOR] It is. It's the city of New New York. Strictly speaking, it'sthe fifteenth New York since the original, so that makes it New New NewNew New New New New New New New New New New York. What? [ROSE] You're so different. [DOCTOR] New New Doctor. --------------------------------------- (Basement room) [CASSANDRA [OC]] Impossible. I recognize that child.Her face. Show me her face! [CHIP] Closer, closer. [CASSANDRA [OC]] Face! Face! Face! --------------------------------------- (New Earth) [ROSE] Can we go and visit New New York, so goodthey named it twice? [DOCTOR] Well, I thought we might go there first. [ROSE] Why, what is it? [DOCTOR] Some sort of hospital. Green moon on the side. That's theuniversal symbol for hospitals. I got this. A message on the psychicpaper. [DOCTOR] Someone wants to see me. [ROSE] Hmm. And I thought we were just sight-seeing. Come on, then.Let's go and buy some grapes. --------------------------------------- (Basement room) [CASSANDRA] Rose Tyler! I knew it. That dirty blonde assassin. [CHIP] She's coming here, mistress. [CASSANDRA] This is beyond coincidence. This is destiny. At last I canbe revenged on that little --------------------------------------- (Hospital reception) [ROSE] Bit rich coming from you. [DOCTOR] I can't help it. I don't like hospitals. They give me thecreeps. [TANNOY] The Pleasure Gardens will now take visitors carrying green orblue identification cards for the next fifteen minutes. Visitors arereminded that cuttings from the gardens are not permitted. [ROSE] Very smart. Not exactly NHS. [DOCTOR] No shop. I like the little shop. [ROSE] I thought this far in the future, they'd have cured everything. [DOCTOR] The human race moves on, but so do the viruses. It's an ongoingwar. [ROSE] They're cats. [DOCTOR] Now, don't stare. Think what you look like to them, all pinkand yellow. That's where I'd put the shop. Right there. [DOCTOR] Ward 26, thanks! --------------------------------------- (Basement room) [CHIP] Override controls. --------------------------------------- (Hospital reception) [ROSE] Hold on! Hold on! --------------------------------------- (Lift) [DOCTOR] Oh, too late. I'm going up. --------------------------------------- (Hospital reception) [ROSE] It's all right, there's another lift.

Oh, you'll find out. --------------------------------------- (Lift 2) [ROSE] Er, Ward 26, thanks. --------------------------------------- (Lift) [SPEAKER] Commence stage one disinfection. --------------------------------------- (Lift 2) [SPEAKER] Commence stage one disinfection. --------------------------------------- (Basement) [CHIP] The human child is clean. [ROSE] Er, I'm looking for Ward 26? [CHIP] This way, Rose Tyler. --------------------------------------- (Ward 26) [TANNOY] Please report to reception. [DOCTOR] Nice place. No shop, downstairs. I'd have a shop. Not a bigone. Just a shop, so people can shop. [JATT] The hospital is a place of healing. [DOCTOR] A shop does some people the world of good. Not me. Otherpeople. [JATT] The Sisters of Plentitude take a lifelong vow to help, and tomend. [CLOVIS] Excuse me! Members of the public may only gaze upon the Duke ofManhattan with written permission from the Senate of New New York. [DOCTOR] That's Petrifold Regression, right? [DUKE] I'm dying, sir. A lifetime of charity and abstinence, and it endslike this. [CLOVIS] Any statements made by the Duke of Manhattan may not be madepublic without official clearance. [DUKE] Frau Clovis! I'm so weak. [CLOVIS] Sister Jatt. A little privacy, please. [JATT] He'll be up and about in no time. [DOCTOR] I doubt it. Petrifold Regression? He's turning to stone. Therewon't be a cure for oh, a thousand years? He might be up and about, butonly as a statue. [JATT] Have faith in the Sisterhood. But is there no one here yourecognise? It's rather unusual to visit without knowing the patient. [DOCTOR] No, I think I've found him. [JATT] Novice Hame, if I can leave this gentleman in your care? [DOCTOR] Oh, I think my friend got lost. Rose Tyler. Could you ask atreception? [JATT] Certainly, sir. [HAME] I'm afraid the Face of Boe's asleep. That's all he tends to dothese days. Are you a friend, or [DOCTOR] We met just the once on Platform One. What's wrong with him? [HAME] I'm so sorry. I thought you knew. The Face of Boe is dying. [DOCTOR] Of what? [HAME] Old age. The one thing we can't cure. He's thousands of yearsold. Some people say millions, although that's impossible. [DOCTOR] Oh, I don't know. I like impossible. I'm here. I look a bitdifferent, but it's me, It's the Doctor. --------------------------------------- (Basement room) [CASSANDRA [on film]] I mean, you never know what your life is going tobe like, ever. I'm bored with this drink. Anyway. Oh, hello darling!Now, don't. Stop it. [ROSE] Wait a minute, that's [CASSANDRA] Peekaboo! [ROSE] Don't you come anywhere near me, Cassandra. [CASSANDRA] Why? What do you think I'm going to do? Flap you to death? [ROSE] Yeah, but what about Gollum? [CASSANDRA] Oh that's just Chip. He's my pet. [CHIP] I worship the mistress. [CASSANDRA] Moisturise me, moisturise me. [CASSANDRA] He's not even a proper life form. He's a force grown clone.I modelled him on my favourite pattern. But he's so faithful. Chip seesto my physical needs. [ROSE] I hope that means food. How comes you're still alive? [CASSANDRA] After you murdered me. [ROSE] That was your own fault. [CHIP] The brain of my mistress survived. And her pretty blue eyes weresalvaged from the bin. [ROSE] What about the skin? I saw it. You, you got ripped apart. [CASSANDRA] That piece of skin was taken from the front of my body. Thispiece is the back. [ROSE] Right! So you're talking out of your a [CASSANDRA] Ask not. [CHIP] The mistress was lucky to survive. Chip secreted m'lady into thehospital. [ROSE] So they don't know you're here? [CHIP] Chip steals medicine. Helps m'lady. Soothes her, strokes her. [ROSE] You can stop right there, Chip. [CASSANDRA] But I'm so alone, hidden down here. The last Human inexistence. [ROSE] Don't start that again. They've called this planet New Earth. [CASSANDRA] A vegetable patch. [ROSE] And there's millions of Humans out there. Millions of them. [CASSANDRA] Mutant stock. [ROSE] They evolved, Cassandra. They just evolved, like they should. Youstayed still. You got yourself all pickled and preserved, and what gooddid it do you? [CASSANDRA] Oh, I remember that night. Drinks for the Ambassador ofThrace. That was the last time anyone told me I was beautiful. Afterthat it all became such hard work. [ROSE] Well, you've got a knack for survival, I'll give you that. [CASSANDRA] But I've not been idle, Rose, tucked away underneath thishospital. I've been listening. The Sisters are hiding something. [ROSE] What do you mean? [CASSANDRA] Oh these cats have secrets. Hush, let me whisper. Comeclose. [ROSE] You must be joking if you think I'm coming anywhere near you. [CASSANDRA] Chip, activate the psychograft. [ROSE] I can't move. Cassandra, let me go! What're you doing? [CASSANDRA] The lady's moving on. It's goodbye trampoline, and helloblondie. [CHIP] Mistress? [CASS-ROSE] Moisturise me. How bizarre. Arms, fingers, hair! Let me see!Let me see! Oh my God. I'm a chav! --------------------------------------- (Ward 26) [TANNOY] Hope, harmony and health. Hope, harmony andhealth. [HAME] That's very kind. There's no need. [DOCTOR] You're the one working. [HAME] There's not much to do, just maintain his smoke. And I supposeI'm company. I can hear him singing, sometimes, in my mind. Suchancient songs. [DOCTOR] Am I the only visitor? [HAME] The rest of Boe-kind became extinct long ago. He's the only oneleft. Legend says that the Face of Boe has watched the universe growold. There's all sorts of superstitions around him. One story says thatjust before his death, the Face of Boe will impart his great secret,that he will speak those words only to one like himself. [DOCTOR] What does that mean? [HAME] It's just a story. [DOCTOR] Tell me the rest. [HAME] It's said he'll talk to a wanderer. To the man without a home.The lonely God. --------------------------------------- (Basement room) [CASS-ROSE] Look at me. From class to brass.Although, oh, curves. Oh, baby, it's like living inside a bouncycastle! [CHIP] The mistress is beautiful. [CASS-ROSE] Absolutement! Oh, but look. [CHIP] Oh, the brain lead expired. My old mistress is gone. [CASS-ROSE] But safe and sound in here. [CHIP] But what of the Rose child's mind? [CASS-ROSE] Oh, tucked away. I can just about access the surface memory.She's. Gosh, she's with the Doctor. A man. He's the Doctor. The sameDoctor with a new face. That hypocrite! I must get the name of hissurgeon. I could do with a little work. Although nice rear bumper. Hmm. [CASS-ROSE] Oh, it seems to be ringing. Is it meant to ring? [CHIP] A primitive communications device. [DOCTOR [OC]] Rose, where are you? [CASS-ROSE] How does she speak? [CHIP] Old Earth Cockney. [CASS-ROSE] Er, wotcha. --------------------------------------- (Ward 26) [DOCTOR] Where've you been? How long does it take toget to Ward 26? [CASS-ROSE [OC]] I'm on my way, governor. --------------------------------------- (Basement room) [CASS-ROSE] I shall proceed up the apples and --------------------------------------- (Ward 26) [CASS-ROSE [OC]] Pears. [DOCTOR] You'll never guess. I'm with the Face of Boe. --------------------------------------- (Basement room) [DOCTOR [OC]] Remember him? [CASS-ROSE] Of course I do. --------------------------------------- (Ward 26) [CASS-ROSE [OC]] That big old --------------------------------------- (Basement room) [CASS-ROSE [OC]] Boat race. --------------------------------------- (Ward 26) [DOCTOR] I'd better go. See you in a minute. [DUKE] Didn't think I was going to make it. It's that man again! He's mygood luck charm. Come in. Don't be shy. [CLOVIS] Any friendship expressed by the Duke of Manhattan does notconstitute a form of legal contract. [DUKE] Winch me up. Up! Look at me. No sign of infection. [WAITER] Champagne, sir? [DOCTOR] No, thanks. You had Petrifold Regression, right? [DUKE] That being the operative word. Past tense. Completely cured. [DOCTOR] But that's impossible. [CASP] Primitive species would accuse us of magic, but it's merely thetender application of science. [DOCTOR] How on Earth did you cure him? [CASP] How on New Earth, you might say. [DOCTOR] What's in that solution? [CASP] A simple remedy. [DOCTOR] Then tell me what it is. [CASP] I'm sorry. Patient confidentiality. I don't believe we've met. Myname is Matron Casp. [DOCTOR] I'm the Doctor. [CASP] I think you'll find that we're the doctors here. [JATT] Matron Casp, you're needed in Intensive Care. [CASP] If you would excuse me. [JATT] It's happened again. One of the patients is conscious. [CASP] Oh, we can't have that. --------------------------------------- (Basement room) [CHIP] This Doctor man is dangerous. [CASS-ROSE] Dangerous and clever. I might need a mind like his. TheSisterhood is up to something. Remember that Old Earth saying, nevertrust a Nun? Never trust a Nurse. And never trust a cat. Perfume? --------------------------------------- (ICU) [JATT] It was having a perfectly normal blood wash, and all of a suddenit started crying. It's this one. [MAN] Please, help me. [JATT] Look at its eyes. So alive. [CASP] Positively sparkling. [MAN] Please, where am I? [CASP] And speech! How can it even have a vocabulary? [JATT] Sister Corvin's written a thesis on the migration of sentience.She calls it The Echo of Life. It's well worth a read. [MAN] Help me. [CASP] I've seen enough, thank you. [CASP] If this happens again, we might have to review our brain stempolicy. [JATT] And what should we do with the patient? [CASP] Standard procedure. Incinerate. --------------------------------------- (Ward 26) [TANNOY] Ambient temperature stands at fourteendegrees. This temperature is designed to promote healing andwell-being. [DOCTOR] There you are. Come and look at this patient. Marconi'sDisease. Should take years to recover. Two days. I've never seenanything like it. They've invented a cell washing cascade. It'samazing. Their medical science is way advanced. And this one. [DOCTOR] Pallidome Pancrosis. Kills you in ten minutes, and he's fine. Ineed to find a terminal. I've got to see how they do this. Because ifthey've got the best medicine in the world, then why is it such asecret? [CASS-ROSE] I can't Adam and Eve it. [DOCTOR] What's, what's. what's with the voice? [CASS-ROSE] Oh, I don't know. Just larking about. New Earth, new me. [DOCTOR] Well, I can talk. New New Doctor. [CASS-ROSE] Mmm, aren't you just. [CASS-ROSE] Terminal's this way. Phew. [DOCTOR] Yep, still got it. --------------------------------------- (Ward 26 waiting room) [DOCTOR] Nope, nothing odd. Surgery, post-op, nano-dentistry. No sign ofa shop. They should have a shop. [CASS-ROSE] No, it's missing something else. When I was downstairs,those Nurse Cat Nuns were talking about Intensive Care. Where is it? [DOCTOR] You're right. Well done. [CASS-ROSE] Why would they hide a whole department? It's got to be theresomewhere. Search the sub-frame. [DOCTOR] What if the sub-frame's locked? [CASS-ROSE] Try the installation protocol. [DOCTOR] Yeah. Of course. Sorry. Hold on. [DOCTOR] Intensive Care. Certainly looks intensive. --------------------------------------- (ICU) [CASS-ROSE] That's disgusting. What's wrong with him? [DOCTOR] I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. [CASS-ROSE] What disease is that? [DOCTOR] All of them. Every single disease in the galaxy. They've beeninfected with everything. [CASS-ROSE] What about us? Are we safe? [DOCTOR] The air's sterile. Just don't touch them. [CASS-ROSE] How many patients are there? [DOCTOR] They're not patients. [CASS-ROSE] But they're sick. [DOCTOR] They were born sick. They're meant to be sick. They exist to besick. Lab rats. No wonder the Sisters have got a cure for everything.They've built the ultimate research laboratory. A human farm. [CASS-ROSE] Why don't they just die? [DOCTOR] Plague carriers. The last to go. [HAME] It's for the greater cause. [DOCTOR] Novice Hame, When you took your vows, did you agree to this? [HAME] The Sisterhood has sworn to help. [DOCTOR] What, by killing? [HAME] But they're not real people. They're specially grown. They haveno proper existence. [DOCTOR] What's the turnover, hmm? Thousand a day? Thousand the next?Thousand the next? How many thousands? For how many years? How many! [HAME] Mankind needed us. They came to this planet with so manyillnesses. We couldn't cope. We did try. We tried everything. We triedusing clone-meat and bio-cattle, but the results were too slow, so theSisterhood grew its own flesh. That's all they are. Flesh. [DOCTOR] These people are alive. [HAME] But think of those Humans out there, healthy and happy, becauseof us. [DOCTOR] If they live because of this, then life is worthless. [HAME] But who are you to decide that? [DOCTOR] I'm the Doctor. And if you don't like it, if you want to takeit to a higher authority, then there isn't one. It stops with me. [CASS-ROSE] Just to confirm. None of the humans in the city actuallyknow about this? [HAME] We thought it best not. [DOCTOR] Hold on. I can understand the bodies. I can understand yourvows. One thing I can't understand. What have you done to Rose? [HAME] I don't know what you mean. [DOCTOR] And I'm being very, very calm. You want to be aware of that.Very, very calm. And the only reason I'm being so very, very calm isthat the brain is a delicate thing. Whatever you've done to Rose'shead, I want it reversed. [HAME] We haven't done anything. [CASS-ROSE] I'm perfectly fine. [DOCTOR] These people are dying, and Rose would care. [CASS-ROSE] Oh, all right, clever clogs. Smarty pants. Lady-killer. [DOCTOR] What's happened to you? [CASS-ROSE] I knew something was going on in this hospital, but I neededthis body and your mind to find it out. [DOCTOR] Who are you? [CASS-ROSE] The last human. [DOCTOR] Cassandra? [CASS-ROSE] Wake up and smell the perfume. [HAME] You've hurt him. I don't understand. I'll have to fetch Matron. [CASS-ROSE] You do that, because I want to see her. Now, run along.Sound the alarm! --------------------------------------- (Ward 26 waiting room) [HAME] Matron, it's that man, and the girl. [CASP] We heard the alarm. Now get back to work. Tend to your patients. --------------------------------------- (ICU) [DOCTOR] Let me out! Let me out! [CASS-ROSE] Aren't you lucky there was a spare? Standing room only. [DOCTOR] You've stolen Rose's body. [CASS-ROSE] Over the years, I've thought of a thousand ways to kill you,Doctor. And now, that's exactly what I've got. One thousand diseases.They pump the patients with a top-up every ten minutes. You've gotabout three minutes left. Enjoy. [DOCTOR] Just let Rose go, Cassandra. [CASS-ROSE] I will. As soon as I've found someone younger, and lesscommon, then I'll junk her with the waste. Now hushaby. It's showtime. [JATT] Anything we can do to help? [CASS-ROSE] Straight to the point, Whiskers. I want money. [CASP] The Sisterhood is a charity. We don't give money. We only accept. [CASS-ROSE] The humans across the water pay you a fortune, and that'sexactly what I need. A one-off payment, that's all I want. Oh, andperhaps a yacht. In return for which, I shall tell the city nothing ofyour institutional murder. Is that a deal? [CASP] I'm afraid not. [CASS-ROSE] I'd really advise you to think about this. [CASP] Oh, there's no need. I have to decline. [CASS-ROSE] I'll tell them, and you've no way of stopping me. You're notexactly Nuns with Guns. You're not even armed. [CASP] Who needs arms when we have claws? [CASS-ROSE] Well, nice try. Chip? Plan B. [DOCTOR] What've you done? [CASS-ROSE] Gave the system a shot of adrenaline, just to wake them up.See you! [DOCTOR] Don't touch them! Whatever you do, don't touch! [MAN] Please, save us. [JATT] I think we should withdraw. [MAN] We understood what you did to us. As part of the machine, we knowthe machine. [CASP] Fascinating. It's actually constructing an argument. [MAN] And we will end it. [JATT] They're free. By the Goddess Santori, the flesh is free! [MAN] Stop the pain. [CASS-ROSE] Oh, my God. [DOCTOR] What the hell have you done? [CASS-ROSE] It wasn't me. [DOCTOR] One touch and you get every disease in the world, and I wantthat body safe, Cassandra. We've got to go down. [CASS-ROSE] But there's thousands of them! [DOCTOR] Run! Down! Down! Go down! [CASP] Quarantine the building! [TANNOY] This building is under quarantine. --------------------------------------- (Hospital) [TANNOY] Repeat, this building is under quarantine. No one may leave thepremises. Repeat, no one may leave the premises. --------------------------------------- (Staircase) [DOCTOR] Keep going! Go down! --------------------------------------- (Hospital) [MAN] Save us. [WOMAN] Help me! --------------------------------------- (Basement) [DOCTOR] No, the lifts have closed down. That's the quarantine.Nothing's moving. [CASS-ROSE] This way! [DOCTOR] Someone will touch him. [CASS-ROSE] Leave him! He's just a clone thing. He's only got a halflife. Come on! [CHIP] Mistress! [DOCTOR] I'm sorry, I can't let her escape. [CHIP] My Mistress! --------------------------------------- (Ward 26 waiting area) [CLOVIS] Excuse me. Can we get some service? [WOMAN] Please. --------------------------------------- (Basement room) [CASS-ROSE] We're trapped! What am I going to do? [DOCTOR] Well, for starters, you're going to leave that body. Thatpsychograft is banned on every civilised planet. You're compressingRose to death. [CASS-ROSE] But I've got nowhere to go. My original skin's dead. [DOCTOR] Not my problem. You can float as atoms in the air. Now, getout. Give her back to me. [CASS-ROSE] You asked for it. [ROSE] Blimey, my head. Where'd she go? [CASS-DOCTOR] Oh, my. This is different. [ROSE] Cassandra? [CASS-DOCTOR] Goodness me, I'm a man. Yum. So many parts. And hardlyused. Oh, oh, two hearts! Oh, baby, I'm beating out a samba! [ROSE] Get out of him. [CASS-DOCTOR] Oo, he's slim, and a little bit foxy. You've thought sotoo. I've been inside your head. You've been looking. You like it. [CASS-DOCTOR] What do we do? What would he do? The Doctor, what the hellwould he do? [ROSE] Ladder. We've got to get up. [CASS-DOCTOR] Out of the way, blondie! [WOMAN] Please, help us. Help. --------------------------------------- (Lift shaft) [ROSE] If you get out of the Doctor's body, he can think of something. [CASS-DOCTOR] Yap, yap, yap. God, it was tedious inside your head.Hormone city. [ROSE] We're going to die if [ROSE] Get off! [CASP] All our good work. All that healing. The good name of theSisterhood. You have destroyed everything. [CASS-DOCTOR] Go and play with a ball of string. [CASP] Everywhere, disease. This is the human world. Sickness! [ROSE] Move! [TANNOY] Maximum quarantine. Divert all shuttles. [MAN] Help us. [CASS-DOCTOR] Now what do we do? [ROSE] Use the sonic screwdriver. [CASS-DOCTOR] You mean this thing? [ROSE] Yes, I mean that thing. [CASS-DOCTOR] Well, I don't know how. That Doctor's hidden away all histhoughts. [ROSE] Cassandra, go back into me. The Doctor can open it. Do it! [CASS-DOCTOR] Hold on tight. [CASS-ROSE] Oh, chavtastic again. Open it! [DOCTOR] Not till you get out of her. [CASS-ROSE] We need the Doctor. [DOCTOR] I order you to leave her. [CASS-DOCTOR] No matter how difficult the situation, there is no need toshout. [ROSE] Cassandra, get out of him! [CASS-DOCTOR] But I can't go into you, he simply refuses. He's so rude. [ROSE] I don't care. Just do something. [CASS-DOCTOR] Oh, I am so going to regret this. [CASS-WOMAN] Oh, sweet Lord. I look disgusting. [DOCTOR] (to Rose) Nice to have you back. [CASS-WOMAN] No, you don't. --------------------------------------- (Ward 26 waiting room) [DOCTOR] That was your last warning, Cassandra! [CASS-ROSE] Inside her head. They're so alone. They keep reaching out,just to hold us. All their lives and they've never been touched. --------------------------------------- (Ward 26) [DOCTOR] We're safe! We're safe! We're safe! We're clean! We're clean!Look, look. [CLOVIS] Show me your skin. [DOCTOR] Look, clean. Look, if we'd been touched, we'd be dead. So how'sit going up here? What's the status? [CLOVIS] There's nothing but silence from the other wards. I think we'rethe only ones left. And I've been trying to override the quarantine. IfI can trip a signal over to New New York, they can send a privateexecutive squad. [DOCTOR] You can't do that. If they forced entry, they'd breakquarantine. [CLOVIS] I am not dying in here. [DOCTOR] We can't let a single particle of disease get out. There is tenmillion people in that city. They'd all be at risk. Now, turn that off! [CLOVIS] Not if it gets me out. [DOCTOR] All right, fine. So I have to stop you lot as well. Suits me.Rose, novice Hame, everyone! Excuse me, your Grace. Get me intravenoussolutions for every single disease. Move it! [DOCTOR] How's that? Will that do? [CASS-ROSE] I don't know. Will it do for what? --------------------------------------- (Ward 26 waiting room) [CASS-ROSE] The lifts aren't working. [DOCTOR] Not moving. Different thing. Here we go. [CASS-ROSE] But you're not going to [CASS-ROSE] What do you think you're doing? [DOCTOR] I'm going down! Come on! [CASS-ROSE] Not in a million years. [DOCTOR] I need another pair of hands. What do you think? If you're sodesperate to stay alive, why don't you live a little? [FRAU CLOVIS] Seal the door! [CASS-ROSE] No! --------------------------------------- (Lift shaft) [CASS-ROSE] You're completely mad. I can see why she likes you. [DOCTOR] Going down! [CASS-ROSE] Well, that's one way to lose weight. [DOCTOR] Now, listen. When I say so, take hold of that lever. [CASS-ROSE] There's still a quarantine down there, we can't [DOCTOR] Hold that lever! I'm cooking up a cocktail. I know a bit aboutmedicine myself. [DOCTOR] Now, that lever's going to resist. But keep it in position.Hold onto it with everything you've got. [CASS-ROSE] What about you? [DOCTOR] I've got an appointment. The Doctor is in. --------------------------------------- (Lift) [DOCTOR] I'm in here! Come on! --------------------------------------- (Lift shaft) [CASS-ROSE] Don't tell them. --------------------------------------- (Lift) [DOCTOR] Pull that lever! [DOCTOR] Come and get me. Come on! --------------------------------------- (Hotel reception) [DOCTOR [OC]] I'm in here! Come on! [TANNOY] Commence stage one disinfection. --------------------------------------- (Lift) [DOCTOR] Hurry up! Come on! [DOCTOR] Come on, come on. [DOCTOR] All they want to do is pass it on. Pass it on! --------------------------------------- (Lift shaft) [CASS-ROSE] Pass on what? Pass on what? --------------------------------------- (Lift) [DOCTOR] Pass it on! --------------------------------------- (Lift) [CASS-ROSE] What did they pass on? Did you kill them? All of them? [DOCTOR] No. That's your way of doing things. --------------------------------------- (Hotel reception) [DOCTOR] I'm the Doctor, and I cured them. [DOCTOR] That's right. Hey, there we go, sweetheart. Go to him. Go on,that's it. That's it. It's a new sub-species, Cassandra. A brand newform of life. New humans! Look at them. Look! Grown by cats, kept inthe dark, fed by tubes, but completely, completely alive. You can'tdeny them, because you helped create them. The human race just keeps ongoing, keeps on changing. Life will out! Ha! --------------------------------------- (Ward 26) [LOUDSPEAKER] This is the NNYPD. Please step away from the shuttles. [TANNOY] All staff will present themselves to the officers for immediatearrest. I repeat, immediate arrest. All new life forms will becatalogued and taken into care. All visitors to the hospital will berequired to make a statement to the NNYPD. [DOCTOR] The Face of Boe! [DOCTOR] You were supposed to be dying. [FACE OF BOE [OC]] There are better things to do today. Dying can wait. [CASS-ROSE] Oh, I hate telepathy. Just what I need, a head full of bigface. [DOCTOR] Shh! [FACE OF BOE [OC]] I have grown tired with the universe, Doctor, but youhave taught me to look at it anew. [DOCTOR] There are legends, you know, saying that you're millions ofyears old. [FACE OF BOE [OC]] There are? That would be impossible. [DOCTOR] Wouldn't it just. I got the impression there was something youwanted to tell me. [FACE OF BOE [OC]] A great secret. [DOCTOR] So the legend says. [FACE OF BOE [OC]] It can wait. [DOCTOR] Oh, does it have to? [FACE OF BOE [OC]] We shall meet again, Doctor, for the third time, forthe last time, and the truth shall be told. Until that day [DOCTOR] That is enigmatic. That, that is, that is textbook enigmatic.And now for you. [CASS-ROSE] But everything's happy. Everything's fine. Can't you justleave me? [DOCTOR] You've lived long enough. Leave that body and end it,Cassandra. [CASS-ROSE] I don't want to die. [DOCTOR] No one does. [CASS-ROSE] Help me. [DOCTOR] I can't. [CHIP] Mistress! [CASS-ROSE] Oh, you're alive. [CHIP] I kept myself safe for you, mistress. [CASS-ROSE] A body. And not just that, a volunteer. [DOCTOR] Don't you dare. He's got a life of his own. [CHIP] But I worship the mistress. I welcome her. [DOCTOR] You can't, Cassandra, you [DOCTOR] Oh! You all right? Whoa! Okay? [ROSE] Yeah. Hello! [DOCTOR] Hello. Welcome back. [CASS-CHIP] Oh, sweet Lord. I'm a walking doodle. [DOCTOR] You can't stay in there. I'm sorry, Cassandra, but that's notfair. I can take you to the city. They can build you a skin tank andyou can stand trial for what you've done. [CASS-CHIP] Well, that would be rather dramatic. Possibly my finesthour, and certainly my finest hat, but I'm afraid we don'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 don't think he's going to last [DOCTOR] Are you all right? [CASS-CHIP] I'm fine. I'm dying, but that's fine. [DOCTOR] I can take you to the city. [CASS-CHIP] No, you won't. Everything's new on this planet. There's noplace for Chip and me any more. You're right, Doctor. It's time to die,and that's good. [DOCTOR] Come on. There's one last thing I can do. --------------------------------------- (Restaurant) [CASSANDRA [OC]] Oh no, don't. Stop it. Simply not true. Tiny. Thebeaches were so dismal, and the mosquitoes were [CASS-CHIP] Thank you. [DOCTOR] Just go. And don't look back. [ROSE] Good luck. [CASSANDRA] And if you actually see them, you're shocked. But don'tquote me on that. Oh, naughty. À bientôt! [CASS-CHIP] Excuse me, Lady Cassandra. [CASSANDRA] I'm sorry, I don't need anything right now. I'm fine, thankyou. [CASS-CHIP] No, I just wanted to say you look beautiful. [CASSANDRA] Well, that's very kind, you strange little thing. Thank youvery much. [CASS-CHIP] I mean it. You look so beautiful. [CASSANDRA] Thank you. [CASSANDRA] Oh, my Lord. Are you all right? What is it? What's wrong?Someone get some help! Call a medic or something, quickly! [WOMAN] Who is he? [CASSANDRA] I don't know. He just came up to me. I don't even know hisname. He just collapsed. I think he's dying. Someone do something! I'vegot you, sweetheart. It's all right. There you are. There you are, I'vegot you. It'll be all right. There, there, you poor little thing.

Doctor Who (17 Jun, 2006; Tenth Doctor) - Love and Monsters [ROSE [OC]] Doctor! Doctor, the trap! --------------------------------------- (Warehouse) [DOCTOR [OC]] Where's he gone? Can you see him? [ROSE [OC]] There he is! Stop. No! Watch out! There! [DOCTOR [OC]] Where? Where? [ELTON [on camera]] That's what it did. It went roar! And if you thinkthat was the most exciting day of my life, wait till you hear the rest.Oh boy. [ELTON [on camera]] So there I was, with that thing going roar! [DOCTOR] Here, boy. Eat the food. Come on, look at the lovely food.Isn't that nice? Isn't it? Yes, it is. Get out of here, quickly. That'sa boy. Wouldn't you like a porky-choppy then? I said run! [DOCTOR] Wrong one. You made it worse. [ROSE] You said blue! [DOCTOR] I said not blue. [DOCTOR] Hold on! [DOCTOR] Hold on. Don't I know you? [ELTON [OC]] You can't imagine it. The Doctor's machine. The mostbeautiful sound in the world. --------------------------------------- (Elton's bedsit) [ELTON [on camera]] Yet that wasn't the first time I met the Doctor, andit certainly wasn't the last. Oh, no. I just put that bit at thebeginning because it's a brilliant opening, but this is the story ofme, and my encounters with alien lifeforms. But be warned, because itis going to get scary. I need a remote control zoom. I'm having to dothat with the lean. The scary. But look, don't worry, 'because it's notjust me sitting here talking. Oh, no. --------------------------------------- (Street) [ELTON [on camera]] That's Ursula on camera. [URSULA [OC]] Hello. [ELTON [on camera]] My good friend, Ursula Blake, on my brand newcamera. [ELTON [on camera]] That was my family home. Down there. I did try, butthere's two women live there now and they're a bit severe. So nevermind. But that is where it all started. That's when I first met theDoctor. [ELTON [memory]] What was it? I must have been three or four years old.Middle of the night, went downstairs, and there was this man. [URSULA [OC]] So what happened? Elton, tell me. Why was he there? [ELTON] I don't know. I still don't know. All those years ago. --------------------------------------- (Elton's bedsit) [ELTON [on camera]] Okay, first thing's first, myname is Elton. Er, not to be confused with [ELTON] I left school, got a job. Transport Manager, Rita Logistics,modest little haulage company. Perfectly normal life, and then it allwent mad. --------------------------------------- (Memory) [ELTON [OC]] Two years ago, I was in town, I wasstocking up. You know, nothing special, all the usual stuff, when allof a sudden [ELTON [on camera]] Shop window dummies come to life. [ELTON [on camera]] I survived, obviously. [ELTON [OC]] Twelve months later, I'm back in town. I'm up west, lookingfor a new suit, something nice and smart, when I hear this planeoverhead. [ELTON [on camera]] But it wasn't over yet, because then, Christmas Day.I'm in bed fast asleep, nice and cosy, quarter to eight in the morning,when all of a sudden [ELTON [on camera]] And I was stuck in bed, right, 'because there'sglass everywhere. And I was barefoot. I had to invent this rudimentarypulley system, just to reach my boots. And by the time I'd done that [ELTON [on camera]] And that's when it all started happening. That's howI met Ursula. --------------------------------------- (Park) [URSULA] His name is the Doctor. --------------------------------------- (Basement) [ELTON [on camera]] That's how I met Victor Kennedy. [VICTOR] You stupid man! --------------------------------------- (Launderette) [ELTON [on camera]] That's how I met Jackie Tyler. [JACKIE] Oh, you don't meet many Eltons. --------------------------------------- (Elton's bedsit) [ELTON [on camera]] And that's how I finally met theDoctor, and realised the truth. [ELTON [on camera]] I should say, this isn't, you know, my whole life.It's not all spaceships and stuff,because I'm into all sorts of things. I like football. I like a drink.I like Spain. And if there's one thing I really, really love, JeffLynne and the Electric Light Orchestra. Because you can't beat a bit ofELO. [ELTON [on camera]] So, great big spaceship hanging over London. Imaginethe theories. The internet went into meltdown. But I kept on digging.Something was going on. Oh, yes. And then one day, on some obscurelittle blog by someone called Ursula Blake, it was like a chance in amillion. [ELTON [OC]] It was him. It was that man again, but the photo was new.It was taken on Christmas Day, but Christmas just gone. And he lookedexactly the same. --------------------------------------- (Park) [URSULA] His name is the Doctor. [ELTON] Doctor what? [URSULA] That's all anyone knows. On Christmas Day I was taking photosall over the place. I went mad with it all. Spaceships and lasers andeverything. We all went to Trafalgar Square that night,'because everyone was celebrating just being alive. And I snapped himin passing, that's all. He was just some bloke. I didn't realise he wassignificant, until Mister Skinner pointed it out. [ELTON] Who's Mister Skinner? [URSULA] Oh, there's a few of us. The Inner Sanctum, all studying thisDoctor. [ELTON] I've seen him. The Doctor. I swear to you, I saw him when I wasa kid. He was in my house, and he was downstairs. [URSULA] Don't tell me. He looked exactly the same then as he does now. [ELTON] Yes. Yes! Oh, my God. You believe me. [URSULA] You're not the only one, you know. [ELTON [OC]] So that's how I met Ursula. All thanks to the Doctor. Turnsout we read all the same sites and she only lived half a mile away. Shewas like a proper mate. Poor Ursula. --------------------------------------- (Elton's bedsit) [ELTON [on camera]] But like she said. There wasthis little community. The select few, all with their stories of theDoctor. --------------------------------------- (Basement) [ELTON [OC]] This little gang used to meet up,underneath the old library on Macatier Street. Mister Skinner, firstname Colin, but we always called him Mister Skinner. I don't know why,we just did. [SKINNER] To me, the Doctor isn't a man, he's more a collection ofarchetypes. [ELTON [OC]] Then there was Bridget. [BRIDGET] All these different Doctors come and go, but the singleconstant factor is this faux police box. It keeps cropping upthroughout history. [ELTON [OC]] She lived way up north, but she travelled down without failjust for the meetings. Then, there was Bliss. [BLISS] What I'm trying to do is sum up the Doctor. What he means to us. [ELTON [OC]] She was ever so sweet, bless. Bless Bliss, we used to say. [BLISS] What he could represent and what he should represent, and whathe never won't represent, sort of thing. [URSULA] We should have a name. You know, as a group. [BLISS] Names are very important. [ELTON] What we need is a good strong name, like a team. Something likeLondon Investigation 'n' Detective Agency. LINDA for short. [SKINNER] Say it again. [ELTON] London Investigation 'n' Detective Agency. [SKINNER] N? [ELTON] Fish 'n' Chips, Rock 'n' Roll. Chaka Demus 'n' Pliers. [BRIDGET] I like it. It's not too solemn. [BLISS] I like the 'n'. [SKINNER] We're the men from LINDA. [BRIDGET] And the women. [SKINNER] Linda United. [URSULA] Did you think of that on the spot? [ELTON] Nah, I've wanted to use it for years. [SKINNER] I give you LINDA. [ALL] LINDA! [ELTON [on camera]] So we'd all meet up, every week, and we'd talk aboutthe Doctor for a bit. But after a while, Bridget startedcooking. [URSULA] Oh my God, that's gorgeous. No, really, wow. Oi, the rest ofyou, get your hands off! [ELTON] Next thing you know, Mister Skinner started his readings,'because he was writing his own novel. [SKINNER] That's the last time you ride the ghost train, JohnnyFranzetta. Now say your prayers. To be continued. [ALL] Oh! [BLISS] You can't leave it there. [ELTON [OC]] As time went on, we got to know each other better andbetter. [BRIDGET] I started all of this because me daughter disappeared. Itwasn't aliens that took her away. It was just drugs. I come down toLondon every week, and I just keep looking for her. [URSULA] Bridget. [BLISS] I gave my love a chicken, it had no bone. I gave my love acherry, it had no stone. [ELTON [OC]] Then it turned out that Bridget could play the piano, and Iconfessed my love of ELO. Next thing you know [ELTON [on camera]] Musical LINDA. [ELTON] You got me running, going' out of my mind. You got me thinkingthat I'm wasting my time. Don't bring me down. [ELTON [on camera]] Just for fun. [ELTON] Don't bring me down! [URSULA] Grooss. [ELTON] Your go. [SKINNER] Oh, no. Er, grooss. [ELTON] Your go. [SKINNER] Now careful, mind the cables. [ELTON [OC]] And that's when it all changed, that Tuesday night inMarch. That's when he arrived. [VICTOR] Lights! [ELTON [OC]] That's when we met Victor Kennedy, and the golden age wasgone. [VICTOR] So, we meet at last, LINDA. [SKINNER] Pleased to meet you, sir. I'm sorry, was the music too loud? [VICTOR] No, no, no, no, I don't shake hands. Back, back. I suffer froma skin complaint - Exeema. [ELTON] Oh, you mean eczema? [VICTOR] But this is worse, much worse. I blister to the touch. Back,back, all of you. Further, further. Thank you. [ELTON] Sorry, don't mind me asking but, who are you? [VICTOR] I am your salvation. [URSULA] That's the Doctor. [ELTON] It's really him. [VICTOR] You've forgotten your purpose in life. You, with your band andyour cakes and your blubbing and all the while he still exists. TheDoctor. [BRIDGET] Look at him. Just look. [VICTOR] Move back, move back, all of you. Oh though, wait for this bit.The picture cuts out, but the sound still continues. Listen. Listen tothe sound of the universe. Yes. [ELTON] Ah, that's. [URSULA] What is it? What's wrong? [VICTOR] Leave him. You've heard it before, haven't you? When? When wasit? Where? Where were you? [ELTON] I'd forgotten, til now. But it was that night. [VICTOR] What night? [ELTON] I was just a kid. That's why I went downstairs. It woke me up.That noise. But what is it? What does it mean? [VICTOR] That is the sound of his spaceship. Right then, homework. Usingthe Torchwood files, we're able to look at all the old databases in acompletely new light. We're able to build up a more detailed profile ofthe Doctor. I've allocated tasks to each of you. I'd like you to eachof you. [VICTOR] I'd like you to. Careful! Watch the exeema. I'd like you tocomplete your targets and meet back here this time next week, one stepcloser to catching the Doctor. Well, don't just sit there, move! Er,Bliss? It is Bliss, isn't it? [BLISS] Yeah. [VICTOR] Yes. Could I have a word with you in private, please? [BLISS] Course you can, yeah. [VICTOR] Thank you. Goodbye, goodbye. --------------------------------------- (Outside the library) [ELTON] Better get to work. Lots to do. [URSULA] I never thought of it as work. [ELTON] It's what we've always wanted though, to find the Doctor. [URSULA] Yeah, I suppose. --------------------------------------- (Elton's bedsit) [ELTON [on camera]] All of a sudden, without anyonesaying so, we were working for Victor Kennedy. --------------------------------------- (Basement) [ELTON [OC]] Though we had to admit, he was right. His methods were muchmore rigorous. It felt like we were getting closer and closer to theDoctor. [ELTON] Mister Kennedy? [VICTOR] Yes? [ELTON] We were wondering. No sign of Bliss. Do you know where she is? [VICTOR] Yes, didn't she tell you? She's getting married. She left amessage. It'll never last, stupid girl. Come on, back to work. [ELTON [on camera]] But we did get lucky once. [SKINNER] A police box, newly arrived. It says newly arrived today. Andit's in Woolwich! [VICTOR] Well, don't just stand there, move! Move, go, go! [ELTON [on camera]] Don't get excited. That's where you came in. [ELTON [OC]] Woolwich. Police box. Red bucket, blue bucket. Police arestupid, etcetera. [VICTOR] Useless! [ELTON] I just froze. [VICTOR] You met him… and you froze. You stupid man! [ELTON] You can't hit me, cause you don't touch. You said so. You get arash and an itch and [VICTOR] I can use this! [URSULA] Use that cane on him and you'll get one hell of a smack off me!And then a good kick. Is that completely understood, Mister Kennedy? [VICTOR] Duly noted. Ursula Blake, most likely to fight back. Rightthen, we'll change tack. We'll approach this sideways. If we're todiscover the truth about the Doctor, then we need to try and find her. [VICTOR] Now when it comes to the Doctor's companion, the Torchwoodfiles are strangely lacking. It seems the evidence has been corrupted.Something called Bad Wolf virus. At least we've got these photographs.They're first hand evidence. Elton? [ELTON] It was a London accent, definitely. She's from London. [VICTOR] So we hit the streets. We get out there, we take thephotographs. Someone's got to know who she is somewhere. [BRIDGET] Yes, but London's a big place. I mean, I should know. My owndaughter's out there. [VICTOR] Bridget, don't make this personal. I don't like to be touchedliterally, or metaphorically, thank you very much. I haven't got thetime. Bleeding hearts outside. Find me that girl! Go. Now. Move. [ELTON [OC]] So it began. The impossible task. To scour the meanstreets, to search a major capital city for an unknown girl. To huntdown that face in a seething metropolis of lost souls. To find that onegirl in ten million. --------------------------------------- (Shopping centre) [MRS CROOT] Oh, that's Rose Tyler. She lives justdown there. Bucknell House, number forty eight. Her mother's JackieTyler. Nice family. Bit odd. --------------------------------------- (Outside the launderette) [WOMAN] Oi, Jackie! [JACKIE] Hello, sweetheart. I'll see you down the Spinning Wheeltonight, yeah? Pub quiz. Get them in. [WOMAN] All right, then. --------------------------------------- (Launderette) [ELTON [OC]] I'd been trained for this. VictorKennedy's classes covered basic surveillance and espionage. Step one,engage your target. Find some excuse to start a conversation. But howwas I going to do this? How? [JACKIE] Excuse me, love. You couldn't give us a quid for two fifties,could you? [ELTON] Yeah. Just er, da-da! [JACKIE] Oh, lovely. Cheers. [ELTON [OC]] Step two. Without provoking suspicion, get on first nameterms with the target. [JACKIE] My name's Jackie, by the way. [ELTON] I'm Elton. [JACKIE] Oh, you don't meet many Eltons, do you? Apart from the obvious. [ELTON [OC]] Step three. Ingratiate yourself with a joke or somehumourous device. [JACKIE] I tell you what, Elton. Here we are, complete strangers, andI'm flashing you me knickers. [ELTON [OC]] Step four, find some subtle way to integrate yourself intothe target's household. [JACKIE] Mind you, I'm only down here because my washing machine'sknackered. I don't suppose you're any good at fixing things, are you? --------------------------------------- (The Tyler's flat) [ELTON] Here we are. It was a fuse. There's nothing wrong with themachine. That's fine. All working! [JACKIE] Oh, Elton, I should have you on tap. I used to have this littlemate called Mickey. He did all that stuff. He's gone now, bless him. [ELTON] Well, if you need me, give us a call. I'll jot down my number. [JACKIE] Well, you do that, and I'll make us a cup of tea. Go on, go andsit down. Put the telly on if you want. Can't bear it silent. [JACKIE] It's just me these days, rattling about. There's my daughter,she's gone travelling. I keep her bedroom all nice and ready though,just in case she comes back. [ELTON] And her name is? [JACKIE] Rose. [ELTON] It's a nice name, Rose. So where's she travelling is? [JACKIE] All over. She got a mobile, I get a call now and then. Not sooften as I'd like. Still, that age, who can be bothered phoning home? [ELTON] Yeah. Who's she with? Is it mates, is it, or [JACKIE] Just mates. Yeah. [ELTON] Well, if I had you making a nice cup of tea like this, Iwouldn't stray far from home. [JACKIE] You're a charmer. Say it again. --------------------------------------- (Basement) [VICTOR] Magnificent! Oh, I could kiss you. Except Ican't, of course. The exeema. [ELTON] I've even got a picture of her on my phone. [SKINNER] Oh it's amazing. You've achieved steps one to four in preciseorder. How did you manage it? [ELTON] Well, I had to work very hard. She keeps everything very closeto her chest. [URSULA] That's a hell of a chest. [BRIDGET] But how do you move on? Step five, that's the problem. [VICTOR] Step five. That's this week's homework. I want a full plan ofattack from each of you. Now go on, vamoose.Avanti. There's work to do. And Elton? Keep infiltrating. You will doanything to get than information, boy, anything! [ELTON] Yes, sir! [VICTOR] Oh, oh, Bridget. Bridget, oh yes. Could I have a word with youin private, please? [BRIDGET] Er, Mister Skinner's giving me a lift. [VICTOR] Oh, I can drop you at the station. I'm sure Mister Skinnerwon't mind, will you? [SKINNER] Not at all. Well, Bridget, I'll see you next week. [BRIDGET] All right then. [BRIDGET] Bye, bye. --------------------------------------- (Outside the library) [URSULA] Now, Mister Skinner, I don't mean to pry,but did you give Bridget a little kiss back then? [SKINNER] I think I did. [URSULA] And if you get your way, might there be more little kissesbetween the two of you? [SKINNER] I think there might. [URSULA] I knew it. [ELTON] That's brilliant! [SKINNER] Now, let's not get excited. We'll see. --------------------------------------- (The Tyler's flat) [ELTON [OC]] Infiltration went well, cause Jackiekept phoning up needing this and needing that. [JACKIE] Down a bit. [ELTON [OC]] It was strange, the amount of things that needed doing. [ELTON] It's like that flat was jinxed. [ELTON] It's weird these fuses. They keep blowing. Must be near asub-station. Then you get the power surges. Still, there we go, fixed. [JACKIE] Here we are. A little reward for my favourite handyman. [ELTON] I shouldn't really, I've got the car outside. [JACKIE] Well, you could always splash out on a taxi, or whatever. Seewhat happens. [ELTON] Right. Cheers? [JACKIE] Cheers. [ELTON] Very nice. What's that, French? [JACKIE] I suppose so. They know how to do things, the French. [ELTON] Is it from Rose? I mean, is she in France? [JACKIE] My daughter won't be coming back tonight, just in case you'rewondering. We've got the place to ourselves. [ELTON] Right. Nice music. [JACKIE] Il Divo. [ELTON] Yeah. [JACKIE] You were saying, power surges. [ELTON] From the sub-station, yeah. [JACKIE] Is that why it gets so hot in here? [ELTON] Is it hot? [JACKIE] Oh, I think so. You should take your jacket off. [ELTON] No, I'm fine, I'll just [JACKIE] No, look, you must be boiling. [JACKIE] Oh, look at your shirt. I'm sorry. [ELTON] I'm, I'm, I'm fine. It's all right. [JACKIE] I've ruined it. [ELTON] No, no. Honestly, it's, it's, it's fine. [JACKIE] Take it off. I'll put it in the wash. [ELTON] Oh, come on. It's only a little drop. [JACKIE] Oh, there now. Ruined. [ELTON [OC]] And there I was. The ultimate step five. The perfectinfiltration. Target, Jackie Tyler. [ELTON] Oh boy. You're right, it is a bit hot. And it's about to gethotter! [JACKIE] I'll see you soon. All right, be careful. Bye. [ELTON] Everything all right? [JACKIE] That was my daughter. Oh, look at you. I'm sorry. I was justbeing stupid. [ELTON] Is she okay? [JACKIE] She's so far away. I get left here sometimes and I don't knowwhere she is. Anything could be happening to her, anything. And I justgo a bit mad. Put your shirt back on. [ELTON] Where is she? [JACKIE] It doesn't matter. I'm sorry. You'd better go. [ELTON] Actually. [ELTON [OC]] And that's when it struck me. Funny the things you think ofwith your shirt off. But that's when I realised what was reallyimportant. [ELTON] Never mind about Rose. I'm not even going to ask. And I will putmy shirt back on, because I'm going to go out and get us both a pizza,cause I reckon you need cheering up. She goes swanning off and who'sleft to care about you, eh? So I say a nice bit of pizza, we'll put thetelly on nice and loud, we'll annoy that woman next door, just you andme as proper mates. Yeah? Mates. Go on. Say yes. [JACKIE] Yes. [ELTON [OC]] All of a sudden, a lot of things made sense. I'd got solost in conspiracies and aliens and targets, I'd been missing theobvious,because I did like Jackie, but I liked someone else even more. --------------------------------------- (Powell Estate) [ELTON] Right, let's get inside then. The pizza's getting cold. [JACKIE] I went in your coat. For once in my life I thought I'll pay. Ithought he's such a nice man, he won't accept anything, so I'll justslip a tenner in his pocket. And look what I found. A photograph of mydaughter. [ELTON] No, no, no, no, no, it's not like that. I can explain. [JACKIE] I bet you can. [ELTON] I wasn't being pervy or anything. I wasn't after her. I waslooking for the Doctor. [JACKIE] Oh, I know that. I worked that out. Cos it's never me, is it? [ELTON] No, but that's how it started, but I changed my mind. [JACKIE] Let me tell you something about those who get left behind.Because it's hard. And that's what you become, hard. But if there's onething I've learnt, it's that I will never let her down. And I'llprotect them both until the end of my life. So whatever you want, I'mwarning you, back off. [ELTON] But Jackie, I only wanted to meet him. [JACKIE] I thought you liked me. [ELTON] I do. [JACKIE] Just get out of here! I said, get out! And leave me alone! --------------------------------------- (Basement) [ELTON] And she was right. It's shameful. We usedthat woman [VICTOR] I knew I couldn't trust you. You broke cover. You stupid littleman, you failed step five. [ELTON] I don't care about step five. Because it's all gone wrong,Mister Kennedy, ever since you turned up. We used to come here everyweek, and we'd have a laugh. We were friends. No wonder they stoppedcoming. I mean, there's no Bliss any more, and even Bridget, she hasn'tturned up. [SKINNER] I've been phoning and phoning her. There's no reply. [ELTON] And who can blame her. I'm sorry, Victor, but you're on your ownbecause I am leaving! And so are you, Mister Skinner. And as for you,Ursula.You're coming with me. And we're going to the Golden Locust and we'regoing to have a Chinese. [URSULA] What's that got to do with it? [ELTON] I mean you and me. Together. Having a meal. If you want. [URSULA] Oh. I'd love it. [VICTOR] But you can't leave. You'll never know what he was doing. TheDoctor. You'll never know what he was doing in your house all thoseyears ago. [ELTON] No, I'll never know. Ursula, get your stuff. Mister Skinner, areyou coming? Not to the Chinese, if you don't mind. Just sort of walkingout. [SKINNER] I certainly am. [ELTON] Victor, good luck. Goodbye. [VICTOR] Mister Skinner, would you stay for a minute, please? [SKINNER] We're walking out. [VICTOR] I've got numbers for Bridget! I've kept records, I've got oldnumbers. We could track her down. Together, you and I. [SKINNER] That's more like the old team spirit. You two have a nicetime. [URSULA] I hope you find her. [ELTON] I'll email you. [VICTOR] Just come a little closer. --------------------------------------- (Outside the library) [URSULA] Mmm, prawns! [ELTON] Yeah, I like prawns. [URSULA] Do you? [ELTON] Crispy aromatic though. [URSULA] Oh, I left my phone. [ELTON] Really? [URSULA] Yeah. It's not in my pocket. [ELTON] So much for the big exit. [URSULA] Yeah, come on. Hurry up. --------------------------------------- (Basement) [URSULA] I'm not stopping, I just left my phone.Victor? [VICTOR] Take your phone and go. [URSULA] Where's Mister Skinner? [VICTOR] He's gone to the toilet. [ELTON] But we haven't got toilets. We have to use the pub on thecorner. [VICTOR] Well, well, well, that's, that's where he is, then. [SKINNER [muffled]] Help me. [URSULA] What was that? [VICTOR] Nothing. It was nothing. It was nothing! [SKINNER [muffled]] Help me! [VICTOR] Shut up. [ELTON] That's Mister Skinner [URSULA] Victor, look at your hands. [VICTOR] Look at the rest of me. [VICTOR] You've dabbled with aliens. Now meet the genuine article. [URSULA] Oh, my God. [ELTON] You're a thing. [VICTOR] A thing? This thing is my true form. Better than that crudepink shape you call a body. [SKINNER] What happened? Where am I? Ursula? Is that you? [URSULA] That's Mister Skinner. What have you done to him? [VICTOR] I've absorbed him. [BRIDGET] Colin? Is that you? Colin! [SKINNER] Bridget, my love? [URSULA] Oh, my God, that's Bridget! [BRIDGET] Colin, where are you? [SKINNER] I'm here, Bridget. It's all right. I'm close. [URSULA] You've absorbed them both! [ELTON] What about Bliss? Where is she? [BLISS] Mmph. [ELTON] What? [BLISS] I said, you really don't want to know. [ELTON] You've absorbed her. Are you some sort of Absorbathon? AnAbsorbaling? An Absorbaloff. [VICTOR] Yes, I like that. [URSULA] Let them go. I'm ordering you. Let those people go! [VICTOR] Oh, but they taste so sweet. Just think about the Doctor. Oh,how will he taste? All that experience, all that knowledge. And if I'vegot to absorb Jackie Tyler to get to him, then so be it. [ELTON] Don't you dare. [URSULA] If I have to beat them out of you. [VICTOR] Oh, no, no. Please don't hit me. Look at me. I'm such a slowand clumsy beast. Please don't hit me. [URSULA] Well, then give them back. [VICTOR] What you mean like this? [VICTOR] Just one touch. That's all it takes. [URSULA] Oh, no. Oh, oh no. [SKINNER] No! [BRIDGET] No! [ELTON] Leave her alone! [URSULA] Don't touch me. Oh, Elton, I'm so sorry. You can't touch me. [ELTON] Ursula. [VICTOR] Most likely to fight back, indeed. [ELTON] Leave her alone! [VICTOR] Oh, yes. [ELTON] No, that's not fair. [VICTOR] She tastes like chicken. [URSULA] Elton, where are you? [ELTON] Please. Mister Kennedy, please. I'm asking you. I'm begging you.Give her back to me. [VICTOR] I can't. Once they've been absorbed, the process isirreversible. [URSULA] Wait a minute. Now I've been absorbed, I can read his thoughts.Oh, my God. Elton, you're next. Get out of here. Now you've seen him,he can't let you go. Just run. Go on. Never mind me, get out! [VICTOR] Isn't she the clever one? [URSULA] Run, Elton! Run! [SKINNER] Save yourself, boy! [BRIDGET] Run for your life! --------------------------------------- (Alley) [VICTOR] Oh, what's the matter? Have you given up so soon? [ELTON] There's no point. Where would I go? Everything I ever wanted [VICTOR] Has been absorbed. [URSULA] Oh, Elton. Don't say that. [ELTON] But it's true! [VICTOR] Then join us. Join us, little man. Come on. It's everlastingpeace. Come on. Join us. Dissolve into me. [DOCTOR] Someone wants a word with you. [ROSE] You upset my mum. [ELTON] Great big absorbing creature from outer space, and you're havinga go at me? [ROSE] No one upsets my mum. [VICTOR] At last. The greatest feast of all. The Doctor. [DOCTOR] Interesting. A sort Absorbatrix? Absorbaclon? Absorbaloff? [VICTOR] Absorbaloff, yes. [ROSE] Is it me or is he a bit Slitheen? [DOCTOR] Not from Raxacoricofallapatorius, are you? [VICTOR] No, I'm not. They're swine. I spit on them. I was born on theirtwin planet. [DOCTOR] Really? What's the twin planet of Raxacoricofallapatorius? [VICTOR] Clom. [DOCTOR] Clom. [VICTOR] Clom. Yes. And I'll return there victorious, once I possessyour travelling machine. [DOCTOR] Well, that's never going to happen. [VICTOR] Oh, it will. You'll surrender yourself to me, Doctor, or thisone dies. You see, I've read about you, Doctor. I've studied you. Sopassionate, so sweet. You wouldn't let an innocent man die. And I'llabsorb him, unless you give yourself to me. [DOCTOR] Sweet, maybe. Passionate, I suppose. But don't ever mistakethat for nice. Do what you want. [VICTOR] He'll die, Doctor. [DOCTOR] Go on, then. [VICTOR] So be it. [DOCTOR] Mind you, the others might have something to say. [VICTOR] Others? [URSULA] He's right. The Doctor's right. We can't let him. Oh, MisterSkinner, Bridget, pull! [VICTOR] No! [URSULA] For God's sake, pull! [VICTOR] No, don't - get off, get off! [URSULA] If it's the last thing we ever do. Bliss! All of us together.Come on, pull! [VICTOR] Stop it! [URSULA] LINDA united, pull! [URSULA] Elton, the cane. Break it! [VICTOR] My cane! You stupid man. Oh, no! [ELTON] What did I do? [DOCTOR] The cane created a limitation field. Now it's broken, he can'tstop. The absorber is being absorbed. [ELTON] By what? [DOCTOR] By the earth. [URSULA] Bye, bye, Elton. Bye, bye. [ROSE] Who was she? [ELTON] That was Ursula. [ELTON [on camera]] And that's it. Almost. Because the Doctor still hadmore to say. [DOCTOR] You don't remember, do you? [ELTON [on camera]] And then he explained. That night, all those yearsago. [DOCTOR] There was a shadow in your house. A living shadow in thedarkness. An elemental shade had escaped from the Howling Halls. Istopped it, but I wasn't in time to save her. I'm sorry. [ELTON [OC]] Because that was the night my mother died. [ELTON [on camera]] We forget because we must. [ELTON [on camera]] So, there you go. Turns out I've had the mostterrible things happen. And the most brilliant things. And sometimes,well, I can't tell the difference. They're all the same thing. They'rejust me. You know, Steven King said once, he said, salvation anddamnation are the same thing. And I never knew what he meant. But I donow.because the Doctor might be wonderful, but thinking back, I was havingsuch a special time. Just for a bit. I had this nice little gang, andthey were destroyed. It's not his fault, but maybe that's what happensif you touch the Doctor. Even for a second. I keep thinking of Rose andJackie. And how much longer before they pay the price. [URSULA [OC]] Oh, now don't get all miserable. Come on, Elton. You'vestill got me. [ELTON] Oh, yeah. 'Cos the Doctor said he could do one last thing withhis magic wand. --------------------------------------- (Alleyway) [DOCTOR] If I can key into the absorption matrix and separate the lastvictim. It's too late for total reconstruction, but. Elton! Fetch aspade! --------------------------------------- (Elton's bedsit) [ELTON] Even then, after all, that the Doctor savedme one last time. [ELTON] Here she is. [URSULA] Could be worse. [URSULA] At least I'll never age. And it really is quite peaceful, you'dbe surprised. [ELTON] It's a relationship, of sorts, but we manage. We've even got abit of a love life. [URSULA] Oh, let's not go into that. [ELTON] And I don't care what anyone thinks. I love her. [URSULA] Ah. [ELTON] But the thing is [ELTON] There we are. I've even bought a remote zoom. But what I wantedto say is, you know, when you're a kid, they tell you it's all, growup, get a job, get married, get a house, have a kid, and that's it. Butthe truth is, the world is so much stranger than that. It's so muchdarker, and so much madder. And so much better.

Only it didn't pass, it stopped. --------------------------------------- (Dame Kelly Holmes Close) [DOCTOR] Thirtieth Olympiad. [ROSE] No way! Why didn't I think of this? That's great. [DOCTOR] Only seems like yesterday a few naked Greek blokes were tossinga discus about, wrestling each other in the sand with crowds stoodaround baying. No, wait a minute, that was Club Med. Just in time forthe opening doo dah, ceremony, tonight, I thought you'd like that. Lastone they had in London was dynamite. Wembley, 1948. I loved it so much,I went back and watched it all over again. Fella carrying the torch.Lovely chap, what was his? [DOCTOR] Mark? John? Mark? Legs like pipe cleaners, but strong as awhippet. [ROSE] Doctor. [DOCTOR] And in those days, everybody had a tea party to go to. [ROSE] Doctor! [DOCTOR] Did you ever have one of those little cakes with the crunchyball bearings on top? [ROSE] You should really look at this. [DOCTOR] Do you know those things? Nobody else in this entire galaxy'sever even bothered to make edible ball bearings. Genius. [DOCTOR] What's taking them, do you think? Snatching children from athoroughly ordinary street like this. Why's it so cold? Is someonereducing the temperature? [ROSE] It says they all went missing this week. Why would a person dosomething like this? [DOCTOR] What makes you think it's a person? [ROSE] Whatever it is, it's got the whole street scared to death.Doctor, what [KEL] There you go. Fifth today. Not natural, is it? [DRIVER] I don't know what happened, I had it serviced less than a monthago. [KEL] Nah, don't even try and explain it, mate. All the cars are doingit. And do you know what? It's bonkers. Bonkers. Come on then, pal.I'll help you shift it. Quicker you're on the way, happier you'll be. [KEL] There we go. [ROSE] Do you want a hand? [KEL] No, we're all right, love. [ROSE] You're not. I'm tougher than I look, honest. [ROSE] Does this happen a lot? [DRIVER] Cheers, mate! [KEL] Been doing it all week. [ROSE] Since those children started going missing? [KEL] Yeah, I suppose so. [DOCTOR] Ooo, tickles! [TOM'S DAD] What's your game? [DOCTOR] My er. Snakes and Ladders? Quite good at squash. Reasonable.I'm being facetious, aren't I. There's no call for it. [KEL] Every car cuts out. The council are going nuts. I mean, they'vegiven this street the works. Renamed it. I've been tarmacking every pothole. Look at that. Beauty, init? Yeah! And all that is because thatOlympic Torch comes right by the end of this Close. Just down there.Everything's got to be perfect, ain't it? Only it ain't. [MAEVE] It takes them when they're playing. [ROSE] What takes them? [MAEVE] Danny, Jane, Dale. Snatched in the blink of an eye. [DOCTOR] I'm, I'm a police officer! That's what I am. I've got a badgeand a police car. You don't have to get. I can, I can prove it. Justhold on. [TOM'S DAD] We've had plenty of coppers poking around here, and youdon't look or sound like any of them. [DOCTOR] See, look. I've got a colleague. Lewis. [TOM'S DAD] Well, she looks less like a copper than you do. [DOCTOR] Training. New recruit. It was either that or hairdressing, so,voila! [TRISH] What are you going to do? [MAEVE] The police have knocked on every door. No clues, no leads,nothing. [TOM'S DAD] Look, kids run off sometimes, all right? That's what theydo. [MAEVE] Saw it with me own eyes. Dale Hicks in your garden, playing withyour Tommy, and then pfft! Right in front of me, like he was neverthere. There's no need to look any further than this street. It's righthere amongst us. [DOCTOR] Why don't we [WOMAN] Why don't we start with him? There's been all sorts like him inthis street, day and night. [KEL] Fixing things up for the Olympics. [TOM'S DAD] Yeah, and taking an awful long time about it. [DOCTOR] I'm of the opinion that all we've got to do is just [KEL] You don't. What you just said, that's slander! [WOMAN] I don't care what it is. [DOCTOR] I think we need to just [KEL] I want an apology off her. [MAEVE] Stop picking on him. [KEL] Yeah, stop picking on me. [MAEVE] And stop pretending to be blind. It's evil! [WOMAN] I don't believe in evil. [KEL] Oh no, you just believe in tarmackers with sack loads of kidnappedkiddies in their van. [TOM'S DAD] Here, here, here, that's not what she's saying. [KEL] Would you stop ganging up on me. [WOMAN] Feeling guilty, are we? [DOCTOR] Fingers on lips! [DOCTOR] In the last six days, three of your children have been stolen.Snatched out of thin air, right? [MAEVE] Er, can I? Look around you. This was a safe street till it came.It's not a person. I'll say it if no one else will. Maybe you'recoppers, maybe you're not. I don't care who you are. Can you pleasehelp us? [ROSE] Want a hanky? [DOCTOR] Can you smell it? What does it remind you of? [ROSE] Sort of metal? [DOCTOR] Mmm hmm. [ROSE] Oh. --------------------------------------- (Back alley) [DOCTOR] Danny Edwards cycled in one end but never came out the other.Whoa, there it goes again! Look at the hairs on the back of my manlyhairy hand. [ROSE] And there's that smell. It's like a er, a burnt fuse plug orsomething. [DOCTOR] There's a residual energy in the spots where the kids vanished.Whatever it was, it used an awful lot of power to do this. --------------------------------------- (Chloe's bedroom) [TRISH] You have to come down some time, Chloe. [CHLOE] I'm busy, mum. [TRISH] Look at it in here. You must've used up half a rainforest. [TRISH] That's Dale. Why did you draw him so sad? [CHLOE] I didn't draw him like that. Dale made himself sad, so I'm goingto draw him a friend. That's what he needs. More friends. [TRISH] Have you seen the TV? [TRISH] Look, this'll cheer you up. The Torch is getting close. It'llpass right by our street. And tonight they'll light the Olympic Flamein the stadium, and the whole world will be looking at our city. Imean, doesn't that make you feel part of something? Sweetheart? Chloe? [CHLOE] I'm busy, mum. [HUW EDWARDS [OC]] Danny Fairweather carries the torch past them on thiswonderful summer's day. Very fitting. We've seen lots of our sportingroyalty, too. [TRISH] Okay. You're tired, Chloe. I heard you calling out again, lastnight. [CHLOE] It's fine. [TRISH] Nightmares? [CHLOE] I'm drawing! [TRISH] Whatever they are, they're just dreams, you do know that? Theycan't hurt you. [CHLOE] I'm busy. Unless you want me to draw you, mum. [TRISH] If you want to stay cooped up in here, fine. I'll leave you toit. --------------------------------------- (Dame Kelly Holmes Close) [ROSE] Aren't you a beautiful boy?? [DOCTOR] Thanks! I'm experimenting with back combing. Oh. [ROSE] I used to have one like you. What? [DOCTOR] No, I'm not really a cat person. Once you've been threatened byone in a nun's wimple, it kind of takes the joy out of it. [ROSE] Come here, puss. What do you want to go in there for? [ROSE] Doctor! Phew. [DOCTOR] Whoa! Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo. Ion residue. Blimey! That takes somedoing. Just to snatch a living organism out of space-time. This baby isjust like, I'm having some of that. I'm impressed. [ROSE] So the cat's been transported? [DOCTOR] It can harness huge reserves of ionic power. We need to findthe source of that power. Find the source and you will find whateverhas taken to stealing children and fluffy animals. See what you cansee. Keep them peeled, Lewis. --------------------------------------- (Chloe's bedroom) [CHLOE] I've given you friends and you still moan.Moan, moan, moan. You're lucky. You're all together. You don't knowwhat it is to be alone. If you did, you'd be thanking me. No! (Underthe gaze of Danny's picture, frustrated Chloe does a big scribble on apiece of paper.) --------------------------------------- (Garages) [ROSE] Is that you, puss cat? Are you trapped? [ROSE] Not going to open it, not going to open it, not going to open it [DOCTOR] Stay still! [DOCTOR] Okey dokey? [ROSE] Yeah, cheers. [DOCTOR] No probs. I'll give you a fiver if you can tell me what thehell it is, because I haven't got the foggiest. [ROSE] Well, I can tell you you've just killed it. [DOCTOR] It was never living. It's animated by energy. Same energythat's snatching people. That is so dinky! The go anywhere creature.Fits in your pocket, makes friends, impresses the boss, breaks the iceat parties. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] Oh, hi ho, here we go. Let's have a look. Get out of here. [ROSE] What's it say? [DOCTOR] It is. It's graphite. Basically the same material as an HBpencil. [ROSE] I was attacked by a pencil scribble? [DOCTOR] Scribble creature, brought into being with ionic energy.Whatever we're dealing with, it can create things as well as take them.But why make a scribble creature? [ROSE] Maybe it was a mistake I mean, you scribble over something whenyou want toget rid of it, like a, like a drawing. Like a, a child's drawing. Yousaid it was in the street. [DOCTOR] Probably. [ROSE] The girl. [DOCTOR] Of course! What girl? [ROSE] Something about her gave me the creeps. Even her own mum lookedscared of her. [DOCTOR] Are you deducting? [ROSE] I think I am. [DOCTOR] Copper's hunch? [ROSE] Permission to follow it up, Sarge? --------------------------------------- (Front door) [DOCTOR] Hello. I'm the Doctor and this is Rose. Can we see yourdaughter? [TRISH] No, you can't. [DOCTOR] Okay. Bye. [TRISH] Why? Why do you want to see Chloe? [DOCTOR] Well, there's some interesting stuff going on in this street,and I just thought. Well, we thought, that she might like to give us ahand. [ROSE] Sorry to bother you. [DOCTOR] Yeah, sorry. We'll let you get on with things. On your own. Byeagain. [TRISH] Wait! Can you help her? [DOCTOR] Yes, I can. --------------------------------------- (Living room) [HUW EDWARDS [OC]] The Torch Bearer is running up the Mall, which I cantell you is [TRISH] She stays in her room most of the time. I try talking to her,but it's like trying to speak to a brick wall. She gives me nothing,just asks to be left alone. [ROSE] What about Chloe's dad? [TRISH] Chloe's dad died a year ago. [ROSE] I'm sorry. [TRISH] You wouldn't be if you'd known him. [DOCTOR] Well, let's go and say hi. [TRISH] I should check on her first. She might be asleep. [DOCTOR] Why are you afraid of her, Trish? [TRISH] I want you to know before you see her that's she's really agreat kid. [DOCTOR] I'm sure she is. [TRISH] She's never been in trouble at school you should see her reportfrom last year. A's and B's. [ROSE] Can I use your loo? [TRISH] She's in the choir. She's singing in an old folks home. Any mumwould be proud. You know I want you to know these things before you seeher, Doctor, because right now, she's not herself. --------------------------------------- (Kitchen) [DOCTOR] All right, there? I'm the Doctor. [CHLOE] I'm Chloe Webber. [DOCTOR] How're you doing, Chloe Webber? [CHLOE] I'm busy. I'm making something, aren't I, mum. [TRISH] And like I said, she's not been sleeping. [DOCTOR] But you've been drawing, though. I'm rubbish. Stick men aboutmy limit. Can do this, though. [DOCTOR] Can you do that? [CHLOE] They don't stop moaning. [TRISH] Chloe. [CHLOE] I try to help them, but they don't stop moaning. [DOCTOR] Who don't? [CHLOE] We can be together. [TRISH] Sweetheart. [CHLOE] Don't touch me, mum. --------------------------------------- (Chloe's bedroom) [CHLOE'S DAD [OC]] I'm coming. --------------------------------------- (Kitchen) [CHLOE] I'm busy, Doctor. [DOCTOR] Come on, Chloe. Don't be a spoil sport. What's the big project?I'm dying to know. What're you making up there? [ROSE [OC]] Doctor! --------------------------------------- (Chloe's bedroom) [CHLOE'S DAD [OC]] I'm coming to hurt you. [ROSE] Look at it. [DOCTOR] No, ta. [TRISH] What the hell was that? [ROSE] A drawing. The face of a man. [TRISH] What face? [ROSE] Best not. [TRISH] What've you been drawing? [CHLOE] I'm drew him yesterday. [TRISH] Who? [CHLOE] Dad. [TRISH] Your dad? But he's long gone. Chloe, with all the lovely thingsin the world, why him? [CHLOE] I dream about him, staring at me. [TRISH] I thought we were putting him behind us. What's the matter withyou? [CHLOE] We need to stay together. [TRISH] Yes, we do. [CHLOE] No. Not you, us. We need to stay together, and then it'll be allright. [ROSE] Trish, the drawings. Have you seen what Chloe's drawings can do? [TRISH] Who gave you permission to come into her room? Get out of myhouse. [DOCTOR] Tell us about the drawings, Chloe. [TRISH] I don't want to hear any more of this. [ROSE] But that drawing of her dad. I heard a voice. He spoke. [TRISH] He's dead. And these, they're kid's pictures. Now get out! [ROSE] Chloe has a power. And I don't know how, but she used it to takeDanny Edwards, Dale Hicks. She's using it to snatch the kids. [TRISH] Get out. [ROSE] Have you seen those drawings move? [TRISH] I haven't seen anything. [DOCTOR] Yes, you have, out of the corner of your eye. [TRISH] No. [DOCTOR] And you dismissed it, because what choice do you have when yousee something you can't possibly explain? You dismiss it, right? And ifanyone mentions it, you get angry, so it's never spoken of, ever again. [TRISH] She's a child. [DOCTOR] You're terrified of her. But there's nowhere to turn to,because who's going tobelieve the things you see out of the corner of your eye? No one.Except me. [TRISH] Who are you? [DOCTOR] I'm help. --------------------------------------- (Kitchen) [ROSE] Ahem. [ROSE] Those pictures, they're alive. She's drawing people and they endup in her pictures. [DOCTOR] Ionic energy. Chloe's harnessing it to steal those kids andplace them in some kid of holding pen made up of ionic power. [ROSE] And what about the dad from hell in her wardrobe? [TRISH] How many times do I have to tell you he's dead. [ROSE] Well, he's got a very loud voice for a dead bloke. [DOCTOR] If living things can become drawings, then maybe drawings canbecome living things. Chloe's real dad is dead, but not the one whovisits her in her nightmares. That dad seems very real. That's the dadshe's drawn and he's a heartbeat away from crashing into this world. [TRISH] She always got the worst of it when he was alive. [ROSE] Doctor, how can a twelve year old girl be doing any of this? [DOCTOR] Let's find out. --------------------------------------- (Chloe's bedroom) [DOCTOR] Nice one. [DOCTOR] There we go. [TRISH] I can't let him do this [ROSE] Shush, it's okay. Trust him. [DOCTOR] Now we can talk. [CHLOE] I want Chloe. Wake her up. I want Chloe. [DOCTOR] Who are you? [CHLOE] I want Chloe Webber. [TRISH] What've you done to my little girl? [ROSE] Doctor, what is it? [DOCTOR] I'm speaking to you, the entity that is using this human child.I requestparley in compliance with the Shadow Proclamation. [CHLOE] I don't care about shadows or parleys. [DOCTOR] So what do you care about? [CHLOE] I want my friends. [DOCTOR] You're lonely, I know. Identify yourself. [CHLOE] I am one of many. I travel with my brothers and sisters. We takean endless journey. A thousand of your lifetimes. But now I am alone. Ihate it. It's not fair, and I hate it. [DOCTOR] Name yourself! [CHLOE] Isolus. [DOCTOR] You're Isolus. Of course. [CHLOE] Our journey began in the Deep Realms when we were a family. [TRISH] What's that? [DOCTOR] The Isolus Mother, drifting in deep space. See, she jettisonsmillions of fledgling spores. Her children. The Isolus are empathicbeings of intense emotions, but when they're cast off from theirmother, their empathic link, their need for each other, is whatsustains them. They need to be together. They cannot be alone. [CHLOE] Our journey is long. [DOCTOR] The Isolus children travel, each inside a pod. They ride theheat and energy of solar tides. It takes thousands and thousands ofyears for them to grow up. [ROSE] Thousands of years just floating through space. Poor things.Don't they go mad with boredom? [CHLOE] We play. [ROSE] You play? [DOCTOR] While they travel, they play games. They use their ionic powerto literally create make believe worlds in which to play. [ROSE] In flight entertainment. [DOCTOR] Helps keep them happy. While they're happy, they can feed offeach others love. Without it, they're lost. Why did you come to Earth? [CHLOE] We were too close. [DOCTOR] That's a solar flare from your sun. Would have made a tidalwave of solar energy that scattered the Isolus pods. [CHLOE] Only I fell to Earth. My brothers and sisters are left up there,and I cannot reach them. So alone. [DOCTOR] Your pod crashed. Where is it? [CHLOE] My pod was drawn to heat, and I was drawn to Chloe Webber. Shewas like me, alone. She needed me, and I her. [DOCTOR] You empathised with her. You wanted to be with her because shewas alone like you. [CHLOE] I want my family. It's not fair. [DOCTOR] I understand. You want to make a family. But you can't stay inthis child. It's wrong. You can't steal any more friends for yourself. [CHLOE] I am alone. [CHLOE'S DAD [OC]] I'm coming to hurt you. I'm coming. [DOCTOR] Trish, how do you calm her? [TRISH] What? [DOCTOR] When she has nightmares, what do you do? [TRISH] I, I [DOCTOR] What do you do? [TRISH] I sing to her. [DOCTOR] Then start singing. [CHLOE'S DAD [OC]] Chloe, I'm coming. [TRISH] Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree. Merry, merry king of thebush is he [CHLOE'S DAD [OC]] Chloe. Chloe. Chloe. Chloe. [TRISH] Laugh, Kookaburra, laugh, Kookaburra, gay your life must be.Laugh, Kookaburra, laugh, Kookaburra, gay your life must be. [TRISH] He came to her because she was lonely. Chloe, I'm sorry. --------------------------------------- (Living room) [TRISH] Chloe usually got the brunt of his temper when he'd had a drink.The day he crashed the car, I thought we were free. I thought it wasover. [ROSE] Did you talk to her about it? [TRISH] I didn't want to. [ROSE] But maybe that's why Chloe feels so alone. Because she has allthese terrible dreams about her dad, but she can't talk to you aboutthem. [DOCTOR] Her and the Isolus. Two lonely kids who need each other. [ROSE] And it won't stop, will it, Doctor? It'll just keep pulling kidsin. [DOCTOR] It's desperate to be loved. It's used to a pretty big family. [ROSE] How big? [DOCTOR] Say around four billion? --------------------------------------- (Chloe's bedroom) [HUW EDWARDS [OC]] The queues started a week ago for those desperateenough to be inside, and lots of them are expecting a capacity crowd ofeighty thousand for this evening's opening ceremony. I have to saythere's been --------------------------------------- (Dame Kelly Holmes Close) [DOCTOR] We need that pod. [ROSE] It crashed. Won't it be destroyed? [DOCTOR] Well, it's been sucking in all the heat it can. Hopefully thatshould keep it in a fit state to launch. It must be close. It shouldhave a weak energy signature that the Tardis can trace. Once we findit, then we can stop the Isolus. --------------------------------------- (Living room) [TRISH] She's running a temperature. I can't go into that now, Kirsty.Yes, we've got a doctor. [TRISH] Yeah, he said he can help her. --------------------------------------- (Open ground) [DOCTOR] We can scan for the same trace that Ipicked up from the scribble creature. We'd need to widen the field abit. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [ROSE] You knew the Isolus was lonely before it told you. How? [DOCTOR] I know what it's like to travel a long way on your own. Give methe styner-magnetic. The thing in your left hand. [ROSE] Sounds like you're on its side. [DOCTOR] I sympathise, that's all. [ROSE] The Isolus has caused a lot of pain for these people. [DOCTOR] It's a child. That's why it went to Chloe. Two lonely mixed upkids. [ROSE] Feels to me like a temper tantrum because it can't get its ownway. [DOCTOR] It's scared. Come on, you were a kid once. Binary dot. [ROSE] Yes, and I know what kids can be like. Right little terrors. [DOCTOR] Gum. [ROSE] I've got cousins. Kids can't have it all their own way. That'spart of being a family. [DOCTOR] What about trying to understand them? [ROSE] Easy for you to say. You don't have kids. [DOCTOR] I was a dad once. [ROSE] What did you say? [DOCTOR] I think we're there. Fear, loneliness. They're the big ones,Rose. Some of the most terrible acts ever committed have been inspiredby them. We're not dealing with something that wants to conquer ordestroy. There's a lot of things you need to get across this universe.Warp drive, wormhole refractors. You know the thing you need most ofall? You need a hand to hold. [ROSE] No, Look, I'm pointing. [DOCTOR] It's the pod! It is in the street. Everything's coming upDoctor. --------------------------------------- (Open ground) [DOCTOR] Okay. It's about two inches across. Dullgrey, like a gull's egg. Very light. [ROSE] So these pods they travel from sun to sun using heat, yeah? Soit's not all about love and stuff. Doesn't the pod just need heat? [ROSE] Doctor? [ROSE] Doctor! --------------------------------------- (Staircase) [TRISH] It's okay. I've taken all the pencils off her. --------------------------------------- (Chloe's bedroom) [CHLOE] Leave me alone. I want to be with Chloe Webber. I love ChloeWebber. [ROSE] Bring him back, now. [CHLOE] No. [ROSE] Don't you realise what you've done? He was the only one who couldhelp you. Now bring him back! [CHLOE] Leave me alone! I love Chloe Webber! [ROSE] I know. I know. Doctor, if you can hear me, I'm going to get youout of there. I'll find the pod. (to Trish) Don't leave her alone, nomatter what. [HUW EDWARDS [OC]] The Torch Bearer getting even closer to the OlympicStadium heading down the Strand before turning east along theEmbankment. --------------------------------------- (Dame Kelly Holmes Close) [ROSE] Heat. They travel on heat. [KEL] Look at this finish. Smooth as a baby's bottom. Not a bump or alump. [ROSE] Kel, was there anything in this street in the last few daysgiving off a lot of heat? [KEL] I mean, you can eat your dinner off this. Beautiful. So you tellme why the other one's got a lump in it when I gave it the same loveand craftsmanship as I did this one. [ROSE] Well, when you've worked it out, put it in a big book abouttarmacking, but before you do that, think back six days. [KEL] Six days. When I was laying this the first time round. [ROSE] What? [KEL] Well, that's when I filled in this pothole for the first time. [ROSE] Six days ago. [KEL] Yeah. [ROSE] Hot fresh tar. [KEL] Blended to a secret council recipe. [KEL] I don't keep it in the van! Hey, that's a council van. Out. [KEL] Whoa, wait, wait, wait. You just removed a council axe from acouncil van. Put it back. No, don't, wait. Put the axe back in the van.That's my van. Give me the axe. No! Wait! No! [KEL] No! You, stop! You just took a council axe from a council van andnow you're digging up a council road! I'm reporting you to the council! [ROSE] It went for the hottest thing in the street. Your tar. [KEL] What is it? [ROSE] It's a spaceship. Not a council spaceship, I'm afraid. --------------------------------------- (Chloe's bedroom) [HUW EDWARDS [OC]] We're live on News 24. Theopening ceremony of the London Olympics of 2012 is well underway, andpeople from all over the world are streaming into the stadium rightnow. They all have their dreams. They've all put in years of hardwork --------------------------------------- (Living room) [ROSE] I've found it! I don't know what to do withit, but maybe the Isolus will just hop on board. Hang on, I told younot to leave her. [HUW EDWARDS [OC]] My God! Er, what's going on here? [KEL] I don't care if you've got Snow White and the Seven Dwarves buriedunder there, you don't go digging up [ROSE] Shut up and look! [HUW EDWARDS [OC]] The crowd has vanished! Er, they're gone. Everyonehas gone. Thousands of people have just gone. Right in front of myeyes. It's impossible. Bob, can we join you in the box? Bob? Not youtoo, Bob? [ROSE] The stadium won't be enough. The Isolus has four billion brothersand sisters. --------------------------------------- (Chloe's bedroom) [HUW EDWARDS [OC]] Over eighty thousand spectatorsand thirteen thousand athletes. [CHLOE] Not enough. [HUW EDWARDS [OC]] They're gone. All of those people. It's a terrible,terrible turn of events. [CHLOE] We won't be alone, Chloe Webber. We'll have all of them. Andthen we'll never feel alone, ever again. [HUW EDWARDS [OC]] Since the battle of Torchwood. [ROSE [OC]] Chloe? Chloe, it's Rose! Open the door! --------------------------------------- (Outside Chloe's bedroom) [ROSE] We found your ship. We can send you home. [TRISH] Chloe? [ROSE] Open up! Right, stand back. --------------------------------------- (Chloe's bedroom) [CHLOE'S DAD [OC]] I'm coming to hurt you.(Rose uses the pickaxe to break down the bedroom door.) [CHLOE'S DAD [OC]] I'm coming, coming to hurt you. [ROSE] Chloe! [CHLOE'S DAD [OC]] I'm coming to hurt you. I'm coming. [ROSE] I've got to stop her. [CHLOE] If you stop Chloe Webber, I will let him out. We will let himout together. I cannot be alone. It's not fair. [ROSE] Look, I've got your pod. [CHLOE] The pod is dead. [ROSE] It only needs heat. [CHLOE] It needs more than heat. [ROSE] What, then? [KEL] I'm not being funny or nothing, but that picture just moved. Andthat one! [ROSE] She didn't draw that, he did. But it needs more than heat,Doctor. [HUW EDWARDS [OC]] Is still on its way. I suppose it's much more than atorch now, it's a beacon. It's a beacon of hope and fortitude andcourage. And it's a beacon of love. [ROSE] Love. [HUW EDWARDS [OC]] So let's have a look from the helicopter. There wego, the torch bearer running [ROSE] I know how to charge up the pod. [HUW EDWARDS] Past Dame Kelly Holmes Close. --------------------------------------- (Dame Kelly Holmes Close) [POLICEMAN] Sorry, you'll have to watch from here. [ROSE] No, I've got to get closer. [POLICEMAN] No way. [ROSE] I can stop this from happening! --------------------------------------- (Chloe's bedroom) [CHLOE'S DAD [OC]] Chloe. [TRISH] Chloe.

[ROSE] Yes! --------------------------------------- (Chloe's bedroom) [CHLOE] I can go home. Goodbye, Chloe Webber. I loveyou. [CHLOE] Mum? [TRISH] I'm here. [CHLOE] Mummy! --------------------------------------- (Dame Kelly Holmes Close) [KEL] You did it! What was it you did? [DALE] Mummy! [JANE'S MOTHER] Oh, Jane! [ROSE] Doctor. [MAEVE] I don't know who you are, or what you did, but thank you,darling! And thank that man for me too. [ROSE] Where is he? He should be here. All the drawings have come tolife. That means all of them. Oh, no. --------------------------------------- (Front door) [ROSE] Trish, get out! [TRISH] I can't! The door's stuck! [ROSE] Is the Doctor in there? [TRISH] I don't think so. [CHLOE] Mummy. [CHLOE'S DAD [OC]] Chloe, I'm coming to hurt you. [CHLOE] Please, dad. No more. [CHLOE'S DAD [OC]] Chloe [ROSE] Chloe, listen to me. It isn't real like the others. It's justenergy left over by the Isolus, but you can get rid of it. [TRISH] Help us! [ROSE] Oh, it's because you're so scared that he's real. But you can getshot of him, Chloe. [CHLOE] Mummy!

[ROSE] Who's going to hold his hand now? --------------------------------------- (Living room) [HUW EDWARDS [OC]] Just look at this! Utterlyincredibly scenes at the Olympic stadium. Eighty thousand athletes andspectators. They disappeared, they've come back! [HUW EDWARDS [OC]] They've returned. They've reappeared. It's quiteincredible. Bob, this will certainly [ROSE] Eighty thousand people, so where's the Doctor? I need him. [HUW EDWARDS [OC]] But hang on, the Torch Bearer seems to be in a bit oftrouble. We did see a flash of lightning earlier that seemed to strikehim. Maybe he's injured. He's definitely in trouble. [HUW EDWARDS [OC]] Does this mean that the Olympic dream is dead? [ROSE] Doctor. [HUW EDWARDS [OC]] There's a mystery man. He's picked up the flame.We've no idea who he is. He's carrying the flame. Yes, he's carryingthe flame and no one wants to stop him. It's more than a flame now,Bob. It's more than heat and light. It's hope, and it's courage, andit's love. --------------------------------------- (Olympic stadium) [DOCTOR] Go on.

[DOCTOR] Like a psychic link. Of course you want your old dad to bealive, but you're wishing him into existence. The ghosts are using thatto pull themselves in. [JACKIE] You're spoiling it. [DOCTOR] I'm sorry, Jackie, but there's no smell, there's no cigarettes.Just a memory. [ROSE] But if they're not ghosts, what are they then? [JACKIE] Yeah, but they're human! You can see them. They look human. [ROSE] She's got a point. I mean, they're all sort of blurred, butthey're definitely people. [DOCTOR] Maybe not. They're pressing themselves into the surface of theworld. But a footprint doesn't look like a boot. --------------------------------------- (Lever room) [YVONNE] So, what've we got? Any sign of that power loss? [ADEOLA] There's no problems. Must've been a glitch. [YVONNE] Rajesh? --------------------------------------- (Sphere laboratory) [YVONNE [OC]] You got anything? [RAJESH] It's so busy down here, I'm on Sudoku book 509. --------------------------------------- (Lever room) [YVONNE] Well, we just had a great ghost shift. [RAJESH [OC]] I know. --------------------------------------- (Sphere laboratory) [RAJESH] But we had nothing. Did they tell you? RNDcame up with a new spectrometer yesterday. Barged in here, all full ofthemselves. Said they could detect the heat off a single protozoathrough half a mile of steel. [YVONNE [OC]] And what did they find? [RAJESH] Nothing. It gave them nothing. Same as ever. The machines keepsaying the sphere can't exist. But there it is. [YVONNE [OC]] Anything we can do? [RAJESH] No, I'm all right. It's just, it gets into your head, thisthing. Like it's staring at you. [YVONNE [OC]] All right, we'll catch up later. Thanks, Raj. [RAJESH] Yeah. --------------------------------------- (Lever room) [YVONNE] Matt, get on to hospitality, will you? SendRajesh something. He's going mad down there. Not alcohol. [ADEOLA [text]] god im bored. [GARETH []text]] me too yawn [ADEOLA [text]] fancy a coffee? [GARETH [text]] though u never ask [MAN [OC]] Kept it stable at fifty six point one. [YVONNE [OC]] So, if you just check the statistics. [GARETH] Yvonne? I'm going to double check the stacks, just in case. [YVONNE] Sure. [ADEOLA] Yvonne, I'm going to go and cross reference the levels with thesphere. [YVONNE] Okay, fine. [YVONNE] And they think we haven't noticed. --------------------------------------- (Unoccupied floor) [GARETH] Come on. It'll be all right down here. Just two minutes. [ADEOLA] This is out of bounds. [GARETH] Yeah, and that's the point. It's completely safe. They're justbuilding new offices. [ADEOLA] What about the workmen? [GARETH] They must be allocated somewhere else. [ADEOLA] It's not worth it for a snog. [GARETH] It is. Come on.(Gareth goes through the plastic sheeting. The workmen return for theirladder and paints, then leave.) [ADEOLA] Gareth? Now, don't be daft, where've you gone? Gareth! Look,I'm going tohead back. I'm seeing you tonight anyway. Gareth? I'm going to go backto work. [ADEOLA] This is it. I'm going. See you. Now stop it, Gareth. I'm notkidding, just stop it! [ADEOLA] Sorry, I'm just looking for my friend. Did anyone come downhere? --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [ROSE] According to the paper, they've elected aghost as MP for Leeds. Now don't tell me you'regoing to sit back and do nothing. [DOCTOR] Who you going to call? [ROSE] Ghostbusters! [DOCTOR] I ain't afraid of no ghosts. --------------------------------------- (Playground) [DOCTOR] When's the next shift? [JACKIE] Quarter to. But don't go causing trouble. What's that lot do? [DOCTOR] Triangulates their point of origin. [ROSE] I don't suppose it's the Gelth? [DOCTOR] Nah. They were just coming through one little rift. This lotare transposing themselves over the whole planet. Like tracing paper. [JACKIE] You're always doing this. Reducing it to science. Why can't itbe real? Just think of it, though. All the people we've lost. Ourfamilies coming back home. Don't you think it's beautiful? [DOCTOR] I think it's horrific. Rose, give us a hand. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] As soon as the cones activate, if that line goes into the red,press that button there. If it doesn't stop [DOCTOR] Setting fifteen B. Hold it against the port, eight seconds andstop. [ROSE] Fifteen B, eight seconds. [DOCTOR] If it goes into the blue, activate the deep scan on the left. [ROSE] Hang on a minute, I know. Push that one. [DOCTOR] Close. [ROSE] That one? [DOCTOR] Now you've just killed us. [ROSE] Er, that one. [DOCTOR] Yeah! Now, what've we got. Two minutes to go? --------------------------------------- (Lever room) [YVONNE] Two minutes to the next shift. Let's makeit a good one, people. [YVONNE] Come on, you two. [ADEOLA] I'm sorry we're late. [YVONNE] Save it 'til later. [GARETH] Sorry we're late. [YVONNE] And powering up. --------------------------------------- (Playground) [DOCTOR] What's the line doing? --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [ROSE] It's all right. It's holding! [JACKIE] You even look like him? [ROSE] How do you mean? I suppose I do, yeah. [JACKIE] You've changed so much. [ROSE] For the better. [JACKIE] I suppose. [ROSE] Mum, I used to work in a shop. [JACKIE] I've worked in shops. What's wrong with that? [ROSE] No, I didn't mean that. [JACKIE] I know what you meant. What happens when I'm gone? [ROSE] Don't talk like that. [JACKIE] No, but really. When I'm dead and buried, you won't have anyreason to come back home. What happens then? [ROSE] I don't know. [JACKIE] Do you think you'll ever settle down? [ROSE] The Doctor never will, so I can't. I'll just keep on travelling. [JACKIE] And you'll keep on changing. And in forty years time, fifty,there'll be this woman, this strange woman, walking through themarketplace on some planet a billion miles from Earth. But she's notRose Tyler. Not anymore. She's not even human. [DOCTOR [OC]] Here we go! [ROSE] The scanner's working. It says delta one six. --------------------------------------- (Playground) [DOCTOR] Come on then, you beauty! --------------------------------------- (Lever room) [YVONNE] And we're into Ghost Shift. [COMPUTER] Online. [YVONNE] What've we got? [MATT] Something's interfering with the ghost field. [YVONNE] Location? [MATT] It's close. It's within the city. --------------------------------------- (Playground) [DOCTOR] Don't like that much, do you? Who are you? Where are you comingfrom? Whoa! [DOCTOR] That's more like it! Not so friendly now, are you? --------------------------------------- (Lever room) [YVONNE] Close it down. Close it down! [COMPUTER] Offline. [MATT] It was a very specific excitation of the ghost field, and thatmakes it easy to pinpoint. Almost there South London. South Eastfifteen. It's a council estate. The Powell Estate. SU15 7GO. It was apublic area. [YVONNE] Can we patch into the CCTV network? [MATT] Doing it now. [MATT] Here we go. We've got a camera within fifty yards. [YVONNE] Oh, my God. [MATT] Is it him? [YVONNE] It's him. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] I said so! Those ghosts have been forcedinto existence from one specific point, and I can track down thesource. Allons y! --------------------------------------- (Lever room) [YVONNE] He's coming. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [YVONNE] Rajesh. It's him! --------------------------------------- (Sphere laboratory) [RAJESH] Now we've got you. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] I like that. Allons y. I should say allonsy more often. Allons y. Watch out, Rose Tyler. Allons y. And then, itwould be really brilliant if I met someone called Alonso, because thenI could say, allons y, Alonso, every time. You're staring at me. [ROSE] My mum's still on board. [JACKIE] If we end up on Mars, I'm going to kill you. [DOCTOR] Oh well there goes the advantage of surprise. Still, cuts tothe chase. Stay in here, look after Jackie. [ROSE] I'm not looking after my mum. [DOCTOR] Well, you brought her. [JACKIE] I was kidnapped! [ROSE] Doctor, they've got guns. [DOCTOR] And I haven't. Which makes me the better person, don't youthink? They can shoot me dead, but the moral high ground is mine. --------------------------------------- (Loading bay) [YVONNE] Oh! Oh, how marvellous. Oh, very good. Superb. Happy day. [DOCTOR] Er, thanks. Nice to meet you. I'm the Doctor. [YVONNE] Oh, I should say. Hurray! [DOCTOR] You, you've heard of me, then? [YVONNE] Well of course we have. And I have to say, if it wasn't foryou, none of us would be here. The Doctor and the Tardis. [DOCTOR] And you are? [YVONNE] Oh, plenty of time for that. But according to the records,you're not one for travelling alone. The Doctor and his companion.That's a pattern, isn't it, right? There's no point hiding anything.Not from us. So where is she? [DOCTOR] Yes. Sorry. Good point. She's just a bit shy, that's all. [DOCTOR] But here she is, Rose Tyler. [DOCTOR] Hmm. She's not the best I've ever had. Bit too blonde. Not toosteady on her pins. A lot of that. [DOCTOR] And just last week, she stared into the heart of the TimeVortex and aged fifty seven years. But she'll do. [JACKIE] I'm forty. [DOCTOR] Deluded. Bless. I'll have to trade her in. Do you need anyone?She's very good at tea. Well, I say very good, I mean not bad. Well, Isay not bad. Anyway, lead on. Allons y. But not too fast. Her ankle'sgoing. [JACKIE] (sotto) I'll show you where my ankle's going. --------------------------------------- (Warehouse) [YVONNE] It was only a matter of time until youfound us, and at last you've made it. I'd like to welcome you, Doctor.Welcome to Torchwood. [DOCTOR] That's a Jathar Sunglider. [YVONNE] Came down to Earth off the Shetland Islands ten years ago. [DOCTOR] What, did it crash? [YVONNE] No, we shot it down. It violated our airspace. Then we strippedit bare. The weapon that destroyed the Sycorax on Christmas Day? Thatwas us. Now, if you'd like to come with me. The Torchwood Institute hasa motto. If it's alien, it's ours. Anything that comes from the sky, westrip it down and we use it for the good of the British Empire. [JACKIE] For the good of the what? [YVONNE] The British Empire. [JACKIE] There isn't a British Empire. [YVONNE] Not yet. Ah, excuse me. Now, if you wouldn't mind. [YVONNE] Do you recognise this, Doctor? [DOCTOR] That's a particle gun. [YVONNE] Good, isn't it? Took us eight years to get it to work . [DOCTOR] It's the twenty first century. You can't have particle guns. [YVONNE] We must defend our border against the alien. Thank you,Sebastian, isn't it? [SEBASTIAN] Yes, Ma'am. [YVONNE] Thank you, Sebastian. I think it's very important to knoweveryone by name. Torchwood is a very modern organisation. Peopleskills. That's what it's all about these days. I'm a people person. [DOCTOR] Have you got anyone called Alonso? [YVONNE] No, I don't think so. Is that important? [DOCTOR] No, I suppose not. What was your name? [YVONNE] Yvonne. Yvonne Hartman. [YVONNE] Ah, yes. Now, we're rather fond of these. The Magnaclamp. Foundin a spaceship buried at the base of Mount Snowdon. Attach this to anobject and it cancels the mass. I could use it to lift two tonnes ofweight with a single hand. That's an imperial ton, by the way.Torchwood refuses to go metric. [JACKIE] I could do with that to carry the shopping. [YVONNE] All these devices are for Torchwood's benefit, not the generalpublic's. [DOCTOR] So, what about these ghosts? [YVONNE] Ah yes, the ghosts. They're er what you might call a sideeffect. [DOCTOR] Of what? [YVONNE] All in good time, Doctor. There is an itinerary, trust me. [JACKIE] Oi! Where are you taking that? [YVONNE] If it's alien, it's ours. [DOCTOR] You'll never get inside it. [YVONNE] Hmm! Et cetera. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [ROSE] Psychic paper, psychic paper. --------------------------------------- (Lever room) [ADEOLA [text]] Hey Matt. Want to see somethinggood?" [MATT] (silent) What? [ADEOLA [text]] Come and see. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [DOCTOR] All those times I've been on Earth, I'venever heard of you. [YVONNE] But of course not. You're the enemy. You're actually named inthe Torchwood Foundation Charter of 1879 as an enemy of the Crown. [DOCTOR] 1879. That was called Torchwood, that house in Scotland. [YVONNE] That's right. Where you encountered Queen Victoria and thewerewolf. [JACKIE] I think he makes half of it up. [YVONNE] Her Majesty created the Torchwood Institute with the expressintention of keeping Britain great, and fighting the alien horde. [DOCTOR] But if I'm the enemy, does that mean that I'm a prisoner? [YVONNE] Oh yes. But we'll make you perfectly comfortable. And there isso much you can teach us. Starting with this. --------------------------------------- (Sphere laboratory) [YVONNE] Now, what do you make of that? [RAJESH] You must be the Doctor. Rajesh Singh. It's an honour, sir. [DOCTOR] Yeah. [JACKIE] What is that thing? [YVONNE] We got no idea. [JACKIE] But what's wrong with it? [RAJESH] What makes you think there's something wrong with it? [JACKIE] I don't know. It just feels weird. [YVONNE] Well, the sphere has that effect on everyone. Makes you want torun and hide, like it's forbidden. [RAJESH] We tried analysing it using every device imaginable. [RAJESH] But according to our instruments, the sphere doesn't exist. Itweighs nothing, it doesn't age. No heat, no radiation, and has noatomic mass. [JACKIE] But I can see it. [RAJESH] Fascinating, isn't it? It upsets people because it gives offnothing. It is absent. [YVONNE] Well, Doctor? [DOCTOR] This is a Void Ship. [YVONNE] And what is that? [DOCTOR] Well, it's impossible for starters. I always thought it wasjust a theory, but it's a vessel designed to exist outside time andspace, travelling through the Void. [RAJESH] And what's the Void? [DOCTOR] The space between dimensions. There's all sorts of realitiesaround us, different dimensions, billions of parallel universes allstacked up against each other. The Void is the space in between,containing absolutely nothing. Imagine that. Nothing. No light, nodark, no up, no down, no life, no time. Without end. My people calledit the Void. The Eternals call it the Howling. But some people call itHell. [RAJESH] But someone built the sphere. What for? Why go there? [DOCTOR] To explore? To escape? You could sit inside that thing andeternity would pass you by. The Big Bang, end of the Universe, start ofthe next, wouldn't even touch the sides. You'd exist outside the wholeof creation. [YVONNE] You see, we were right. There is something inside it. [DOCTOR] Oh, yes. [RAJESH] So how do we get in there? [DOCTOR] We don't! We send that thing back into Hell. How did it gethere in the first place? [YVONNE] Well, that's how it all started. The sphere came through intothis world, and the ghosts followed in its wake. [DOCTOR] Show me. [YVONNE] No, Doctor. --------------------------------------- (Unoccupied floor) [MATT] I don't get it. What is it? What am Isupposed to be looking for? [ADEOLA] Just go to the left. [MATT] Yvonne's going to be back any minute. [ADEOLA] Just go to the left. [MATT] What, you mean in here? --------------------------------------- (Yvonne's office) [YVONNE] The sphere came through here. A hole in the world. Not activeat the moment,but when we fire particle engines at that exact spot, the breech opensup. [DOCTOR] How did you even find it? [YVONNE] We were getting warning signs for years. A radar black spot. Sowe built this place, Torchwood Tower. The breech was six hundred footabove sea level. It was on the only way to reach it. [DOCTOR] You built a skyscraper just to reach a spatial disturbance? Howmuch money have you got? [YVONNE] Enough. [JACKIE] Hold on a minute. We're in Canary Wharf. Must be. Thisbuilding, it's Canary Wharf. [YVONNE] Well, that is the public name for it. But to those in the know,it's Torchwood. [DOCTOR] So, you find the breach, probe it, the sphere comes through sixhundred feet above London, bam. It leaves a hole in the fabric ofreality. And that hole, you think, oh, shall we leave it alone? Shallwe back off? Shall we play it safe? Nah, you think let's make itbigger! [YVONNE] It's a massive source of energy. If we can harness that power,we need never depend on the Middle East again. Britain will becometruly independent. Look, you can see for yourself. Next Ghost Shift'sin two minutes. --------------------------------------- (Lever room) [DOCTOR] Cancel it. [YVONNE] I don't think so. [DOCTOR] I'm warning you, cancel it. [YVONNE] Oh, exactly as the legends would have it. The Doctor, lordingit over us. Assuming alien authority over the Rights of Man. [DOCTOR] Let me show you. Sphere comes through. [DOCTOR] But when it made the hole, it cracked the world around it. Theentire surface of this dimension splintered. And that's how the ghostsget through. That's how they get everywhere. They're bleeding throughthe fault lines. Walking from their world, across the Void, and intoyours, with the human race hoping and wishing and helping them along.But too many ghosts, and [YVONNE] Well, in that case we'll have to be more careful. Positions!Ghost Shift in one minute. [DOCTOR] Miss Hartman, I am asking you, please don't do it. [YVONNE] We have done this a thousand times. [DOCTOR] Then stop at a thousand! [YVONNE] We're in control of the ghosts. The levers can open the breach,but equally they can close it. [DOCTOR] Okay. [YVONNE] Sorry? [DOCTOR] Never mind. As you were. [YVONNE] What, is that it? [DOCTOR] No, fair enough. Said my bit. Don't mind me. Any chance of acup of tea? [ADEOLA] Ghost Shift in twenty seconds. [DOCTOR] Mmm, can't wait to see it. [DOCTOR] No, absolutely not. Pull up a chair, Rose. Come and watch thefireworks. [ADEOLA] Ghost Shift in ten seconds. Nine, eight, seven, six, five,four, three, two [YVONNE] Stop the shift. I said stop. [DOCTOR] Thank you. [YVONNE] I suppose it makes sense to get as much intelligence aspossible. But the programme will recommence, as soon as you'veexplained everything. [DOCTOR] I'm glad to be of help. [YVONNE] And someone clear up this glass. They did warn me, Doctor. Theysaid you like to make a mess. --------------------------------------- (Sphere laboratory) [RAJESH] Can I help you? [ROSE] I was just [RAJESH] Try not to look. It does that to everyone. What do you want? [ROSE] Sorry. They sent me from personnel. They said some man had beentaken prisoner. Some sort of Doctor? I'm just checking the lines ofcommunication. Did they tell you anything? [RAJESH] Can I see your authorisation? [ROSE] Sure. [RAJESH] That's lucky. You see, everyone at Torchwood has at least abasic level of psychic training. This paper is blank, and you're afake. Seal the room. Call security. Samuel, can you check the doorlocks? She just walked right in. [MICKEY] Doing it now, sir. [RAJESH] Well, if you'd like to take a seat. --------------------------------------- (Yvonne's office) [YVONNE] So these ghosts, whatever they are, didthey build the sphere? [DOCTOR] Must have. Aimed it at this dimension like a cannon ball. [RAJESH [OC]] Yvonne? I think you should see this. We've got a visitor.We don't know who she is, but funnily enough, she arrived at the sametime as the Doctor. [YVONNE] She one of yours? [DOCTOR] Never seen her before in my life. [YVONNE] Good. Then we can have her shot. [DOCTOR] Oh, all right then. It was worth a try. That's, that's RoseTyler. [ROSE [on screen]] Sorry. Hello. [YVONNE] Well, if that's Rose Tyler, who's she? [JACKIE] I'm her mother. [YVONNE] Oh, you travel with her mother? [JACKIE] He kidnapped me. [DOCTOR] Please, when Torchwood comes to write my complete history,don't tell people I travelled through time and space with her mother. [JACKIE] Charming. [DOCTOR] I've got a reputation to uphold. [YVONNE] Excuse me? Everyone? I thought I said stop the ghost shift. Whostarted the programme? But I ordered you to stop! Who's doing that? [YVONNE] Right, step away from the monitors, everyone. Gareth, Addy,stop what you're doing, right now. Matt, step away from your desk.That's an order! Stop the levers! Andrew! [YVONNE] Stop the levers! [DOCTOR] What's she doing? [YVONNE] Addy, step away from the desk. Listen to me. Step away from thedesk. [DOCTOR] She can't hear you. They're overriding the system. We're goinginto Ghost Shift. --------------------------------------- (Sphere laboratory) [RAJESH] Yvonne, I thought you said the next GhostShift was cancelled. What's going on? Yvonne? [RAJESH] It can't be. It's active! --------------------------------------- (Lever room) [DOCTOR] It's the ear piece. It's controlling them.I've seen this before. Sorry. I'm so sorry. [YVONNE] What happened? What did you just do? [DOCTOR] They're dead. [JACKIE] You killed them. [DOCTOR] Oh, someone else did that long before I got here. [JACKIE] But you killed them! [DOCTOR] Jackie, I haven't got time for this. [YVONNE] What are those ear pieces? [DOCTOR] Don't. [YVONNE] But they're standard comms. devices. How does it control them? [DOCTOR] Trust me, leave them alone. [YVONNE] But what are they? [YVONNE] Urgh! Oh, God! It goes inside their brain. [DOCTOR] What about the Ghost Shift? [YVONNE] Ninety percent there and still running. Can't you stop it? [DOCTOR] They're still controlling it. They've hi-jacked the system. [YVONNE] Who's they? [DOCTOR] It might be a remote transmitter but it's got to be close by. Ican trace it. Jackie, stay here! [YVONNE] Keep those levers down. Keep them offline. --------------------------------------- (Sphere laboratory) [RAJESH] We've got a problem down here. Yvonne, canyou hear me? [RAJESH] Yvonne, for God's sake. The sphere is active! The readings aregoing wild! It's got weight, it's got mass, an electromagnetic field.It exists! [RAJESH] The door's sealed. Automatic quarantine. We can't get out! [MICKEY] It's all right, babe. We've beaten them before, we can beatthem again. That's why I'm here. The fight goes on. [ROSE] The fight against what? [MICKEY] What do you think? --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [YVONNE] You two. You come with us. [SOLDIER] Yes, ma'am. --------------------------------------- (Unoccupied floor) [DOCTOR] What's down here? [YVONNE] I don't, I don't know. I think it's building work. It's justrenovations. [DOCTOR] You should go back. [YVONNE] Think again. [YVONNE] What is it? What's down here? [DOCTOR] Ear pieces, ear pods. This world's colliding with another, andI think I know which one. [YVONNE] What are they? [DOCTOR] They came through first. The advance guard. [DOCTOR] Cybermen! --------------------------------------- (Sphere laboratory) [MICKEY] We had them beaten, but then they escaped.The Cybermen just vanished. They found a way through to this world, butso did we. [ROSE] The Doctor said that was impossible. [MICKEY] Yeah, it's not the first time he's been wrong. [ROSE] What's inside that sphere? [MICKEY] No one knows. Cyber Leader, Cyber King, Emperor of theCybermen. Whatever it is, he's dead meat. [ROSE] It's good to see you. [MICKEY] Yeah. It's good to see you too. --------------------------------------- (Lever room) [DOCTOR] Get away from the machines. Do what they say. Don't fight them! [JACKIE] What are they? [CYBERMAN] We are the Cybermen. The Ghost Shift will be increased to onehundred percent. [COMPUTER] Online. [DOCTOR] Here come the ghosts. [ALISTAIR APPLETON [on TV]] It's extraordinary, there are more ghoststhan we've ever seen before, and it's happening all over the world. [POLICE COMMANDER [on TV]] As far as we know, the increase in ghostactivity is harmless. --------------------------------------- (Sphere laboratory) [RAJESH] Can anyone hear me? Come on, I need helpdown here! I need [MICKEY] Here we go. --------------------------------------- (Lever room) [JACKIE] But these Cybermen, what've they got to dowith the ghosts? [DOCTOR] Do you never listen? A footprint doesn't look like a boot. [CYBERLEADER] Achieving full transfer. [DOCTOR] They're Cybermen. All of the ghosts are Cybermen. Millions ofthem, right across the world. --------------------------------------- (Ghostwatch studio) [PRESENTER] They're not ghosts! They're metal men [POLICE COMMANDER [on TV]] I urge you, stay in your homes! --------------------------------------- (Lever room) [YVONNE] They're invading the whole planet. [DOCTOR] It's not an invasion. It's too late for that. It's a victory. [COMPUTER] Sphere activated. Sphere activated. Sphere activated. Sphereactivated. --------------------------------------- (Sphere laboratory) [MICKEY] I know what's in there, and I'm ready forthem. I've got just the thing. [MICKEY] This is going to blast them to Hell. [RAJESH] Samuel, what are you doing? [MICKEY] The name's Mickey. Mickey Smith. Defending the Earth. --------------------------------------- (Lever room) [DOCTOR] But I don't understand. The Cybermen don'thave the technology to build a Void Ship. That's way beyond you. Howdid you create that sphere? [CYBERMAN] The sphere is not ours. [DOCTOR] What? [CYBERMAN] The sphere broke down the barriers between worlds. We onlyfollowed. Its origin is unknown. [DOCTOR] Then what's inside it? [JACKIE] Rose is down there. --------------------------------------- (Sphere laboratory) [MICKEY] That's not Cybermen. [ROSE] Oh, my God. [BLACK DALEK] Location, Earth. Life forms detected. Exterminate! [DALEKS] Exterminate! Exterminate! Exterminate!

[BLACK DALEK] The Daleks need information about current Earth history. [RAJESH] Yeah, well, I can give you a certain amount of intelligence butnothing that will compromise Homeland security. [BLACK DALEK] Speech is not necessary. We will extract brainwaves. [RAJESH] Don't I I'll tell you everything you need. No. No! --------------------------------------- (Lever room) [CYBERLEADER] Scans detect unknown technology activewithin Sphere chamber. [CYBERMAN] Cybermen will investigate. [CYBERLEADER] Units ten six five and ten six six will investigate Spherechamber. [CYBERMEN] We obey. --------------------------------------- (Sphere laboratory) [BLACK DALEK] His mind spoke of a second species invading Earth infectedby the superstition of ghosts. [ROSE] You didn't need to kill him! [DALEK 3] Neither did we need him alive. [BLACK DALEK] Dalek Thay, investigate outside. [DALEK 2] I obey. --------------------------------------- (Yvonne's office) [CYBERLEADER] Units open visual link. [CYBERLEADER] Visual contact established. --------------------------------------- (Sphere laboratory) [BLACK DALEK] Establish visual contact. Lowercommunications barrier. --------------------------------------- (Yvonne's office) [DALEK 2 [on laptop]] Identify yourselves. --------------------------------------- (Sphere laboratory) [CYBERMAN [on viewscreen]] You will identify first. --------------------------------------- (Yvonne's office) [DALEK 2 [on laptop]] State your identity. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [CYBERMAN] You will identify first. [DALEK 2] Identify! --------------------------------------- (Sphere laboratory) [MICKEY] It's like Stephen Hawkins meets theSpeaking Clock. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [CYBERMAN] That answer is (??) and illogical. Youwill modify. [DALEK 2] Daleks do not take orders. [CYBERMAN] You have identified as Daleks. --------------------------------------- (Sphere laboratory) [BLACK DALEK] Outline resembles the inferior speciesknown as Cybermen. --------------------------------------- (Yvonne's office) [JACKIE] (sotto) Rose said about the Daleks. She wasterrified of them. What have they done to her, Doctor? Is she dead? [DOCTOR] (sotto) Phone. [JACKIE] (sotto) What? [DOCTOR] (sotto) Phone! [CYBERMAN [OC]] We followed in the wake of your sphere. --------------------------------------- (Sphere laboratory) [BLACK DALEK] Long range scans confirm the presenceof crude cybernetic constructs on worldwide scale. --------------------------------------- (Yvonne's office) [DOCTOR] She's answered. She's alive. Why haven'tthey killed her? [JACKIE] Well, don't complain! [DOCTOR] They must need her for something. --------------------------------------- (Sphere laboratory) [DALEK 3] We must protect the Genesis Ark. --------------------------------------- (Yvonne's office) [DOCTOR] The Genesis Ark? [CYBERMAN [on laptop]] Our species our similar, though your design isinelegant. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [DALEK 2] Daleks have no concept of elegance. [CYBERMAN] This is obvious. But consider, our technologies arecompatible. --------------------------------------- (Yvonne's office) [CYBERMAN [on laptop]] Cybermen plus Daleks. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [CYBERMAN] Together, we could upgrade the Universe. [DALEK 2] You propose an alliance? --------------------------------------- (Yvonne's office) [CYBERMAN [on laptop]] This is correct. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [DALEK 2] Request denied. [CYBERMAN] Hostile elements will be deleted. [DALEK 2] Exterminate! --------------------------------------- (Yvonne's office) [CYBERLEADER] Open visual link. --------------------------------------- (Sphere laboratory) [CYBERLEADER [on viewscreen]] Daleks, be warned. Youhave declared war upon the Cybermen. --------------------------------------- (Yvonne's office) [BLACK DALEK [on laptop]] This is not war. This ispest control. [CYBERLEADER] We have five million Cybermen. How many are you? --------------------------------------- (Sphere laboratory) [BLACK DALEK] Four. [CYBERLEADER [on viewscreen]] You would destroy the Cybermen with fourDaleks? [BLACK DALEK] We would destroy the Cybermen with one Dalek. --------------------------------------- (Yvonne's office) [BLACK DALEK [on laptop]] You are superior in onlyone respect. [CYBERLEADER] What is that? --------------------------------------- (Sphere laboratory) [BLACK DALEK] You are better at dying. Raisecommunications barrier! [(The Doctor is visible behind the CyberLeader just before theviewscreen goes blank.)DALEK 3] Wait! --------------------------------------- (Yvonne's office) [DOCTOR] Lost her. --------------------------------------- (Sphere laboratory) [DALEK 3] Rewind image by nine rells. Identify gridseven gamma frame. This male registers as enemy. [BLACK DALEK] The female's heartbeat has increased. [MICKEY] Yeah, tell me about it. [BLACK DALEK] Identify him. [ROSE] All right, then. If you really want to know, that's the Doctor. [ROSE] Five million Cybermen, easy. One Doctor? Now you're scared. --------------------------------------- (Yvonne's office) [CYBERLEADER] Quarantine the Sphere chamber. Startemergency upgrading. Begin with these personnel. [YVONNE] No, you can't do this! We surrendered! We surrendered! [CYBERMAN] This one. His increased adrenaline suggests that he has vitalDalek information. [JACKIE] Stop them! I don't want to go! You promised me! You gave meyour word! [DOCTOR] I demand you leave that woman alone! I won't help you if youhurt her. Jackie, don't fight. I'll think of something. --------------------------------------- (Sphere laboratory) [DALEK 2] Cyber threat irrelevant. Concentrate on the Genesis Ark. [MICKEY] Why are we being kept alive? [ROSE] They might need me. [MICKEY] What? What is it? --------------------------------------- (Unoccupied floor) [JACKIE] What happens in there? What's upgrading mean? What do they do? [YVONNE] I think they remove the brain. Sorry. I think they remove thebrain and they put it in a suit of armour. That's what these thingsare. They're us. [CYBERMAN] Next. [JACKIE] This is your fault. You and your Torchwood. You've killed usall! [YVONNE] I did my duty for Queen and Country. I did my duty. I did myduty. Oh, God. I did my duty. --------------------------------------- (Yvonne's office) [CYBERLEADER] You are proof. [DOCTOR] Of what? [CYBERLEADER] That emotions destroy you. [DOCTOR] Yeah, I am. Mind you, I quite like hope. Hope's a good emotion.And here it comes. [JAKE] Doctor? Good to see you again. [DOCTOR] Jake? [JAKE] The Cybermen came through from one world to another, and so didwe. --------------------------------------- (Unoccupied floor) [JACKIE] No! No! [CYBERMAN] CyberLeader One has been terminated. [CYBERMAN 2] Explain. Download shared files. [CYBERMAN] I will be upgraded to CyberLeader. --------------------------------------- (Lever room) [JAKE] Defend this room. Chrissie, monitor communications. Kill oneCyberLeader and they just download into another. Move! [DOCTOR] You can't just, just, just hop from one world to another. Youcan't. [JAKE] We just did. With these. [DOCTOR] But that's impossible. You can't have this sort of technology. [JAKE] We've got our own version of Torchwood. They developed it. Do youwant to come and see? [DOCTOR] No! (The Doctor and Jake vanish.) --------------------------------------- (Parallel Torchwood) [JAKE] Parallel Earth, parallel Torchwood. Except we found out what theInstitute was doing and the People's Republic took control. [DOCTOR] I've got to get back. Rose is in danger, and her mother. [PETE] That'd be Jackie. My wife in a parallel universe. And as for you,Doctor, at least this time I know who you are. [DOCTOR] Right, yes, fine, hooray. But I've got to get back, right now. [PETE] No, you're not in charge here. This is our world, not yours. Andyou're going tolisten for once. --------------------------------------- (Sphere laboratory) [MICKEY] I could transport out of here, but it onlycarries one and I'm not leaving you. [ROSE] You'd follow me anywhere. What did I do to you all those yearsago? [MICKEY] Guess I'm just stupid. [ROSE] You're the bravest man I've ever met. [MICKEY] What about the Doctor? [ROSE] Oh, all right. Bravest human. [MICKEY] Well, I can't think what the Daleks need with me. I'm nothingto them. [ROSE] You could be. Whatever's inside that Ark is waking up, and I'veseen this happen before. [ROSE [OC]] The first time I saw a Dalek, it was broken. It was dying.But I touched it. The moment I did that, I brought it back to life. [ROSE] As the Doctor said, when you travel in time in the Tardis, yousoak up all this background radiation. It's harmless. It's just there.But in the Time War, the Daleks evolved so they could use it as a powersupply. [MICKEY] I love it when you talk technical. [ROSE] Shut up. If the Daleks have got something inside that thing, andit needs waking up. [MICKEY] They need you. [ROSE] You've travelled in time. Either one of us would do. [MICKEY] But why would they build something they can't open themselves? [BLACK DALEK] The technology is stolen. The Ark is not of Dalek design. [ROSE] Then who built it? [BLACK DALEK] The Time Lords. This is all that survives of their HomeWorld. [ROSE] What's inside? [BLACK DALEK] The future. --------------------------------------- (Parallel Torchwood) [PETE] When you left this world, you warned usthere'd be more Cybermen. So we sealed them inside the factories. [JAKE] Except people argued. Said they were living. We should help them. [PETE] And the debate went on. But all that time, the Cybermen madeplans. Infiltrated this version of Torchwood, mapped themselves ontoyour world, and then vanished. [DOCTOR] When was this? [PETE] Three years ago. [DOCTOR] It's taken them three years to cross the void, but we can popto and fro in a second. Must be the sheer mass of five million Cybermencrossing all at once. [PETE] Yeah, Mickey said you'd rattle off that sort of stuff. [DOCTOR] Oh, where is the Mickey boy? [PETE] He went ahead first. Any chance to go and find Miss Rose Tyler. [DOCTOR] She's your daughter. You do know that? Did Mickey explain? [PETE] She's not mine. She's the child of a dead man. Look at it, aworld of peace. They're calling this The Golden Age. [DOCTOR] Who's the President now? [PETE] A woman called Harriet Jones. [DOCTOR] Oof. I'd keep an eye on her. [PETE] But it's a lie. Temperatures have risen by two degrees in thepast six months. The ice caps are melting. They're saying all this isgoing to be flooded. That's not just global warming, is it? [DOCTOR] No. [PETE] It's the breach. [DOCTOR] I've been trying to tell you. Travel between parallel worlds isimpossible. Then the Daleks break down the walls with a Sphere. [PETE] Daleks? [DOCTOR] Then the Cybermen travelled across, then you lot. Those discs.Every time you jump from one reality to another, you rip a hole in theuniverse. This planet is starting to boil. Keep going and both worldswill fall into the Void. [PETE] But you can stop it? The famous Doctor. You can seal the breach? [DOCTOR] Leaving five million Cybermen stranded on my Earth. [PETE] That's your problem. I'm protecting this world, and this worldonly. [DOCTOR] Hmm. Pete Tyler. I knew you when you were dead. Now here youare, fighting the fight alone. There is a chance, back on my world,Jackie Tyler might still be alive. [PETE] My wife died. [DOCTOR] Her husband died. Good match. [PETE] There's more important things at stake. Doctor, help us. [DOCTOR] What, close the breach? Stop the Cybermen? Defeat the Daleks?Do you believe I can do that? [PETE] Yes. [DOCTOR] Maybe that's all I need. Off we go, then! --------------------------------------- (Lever room) [DOCTOR] First of all, I need to make a phone call. You don't mind? [JAKE] You two, guard to door. --------------------------------------- (Stairwell) [JACKIE] Oh, my God, help me. --------------------------------------- (Yvonne's office) [DOCTOR] Jackie, you're alive. Listen. [JACKIE [OC]] They tried to download me but I ran away! [DOCTOR] Shush. Listen, tell me. Where are you? --------------------------------------- (Stairwell) [JACKIE] I don't know. Staircase. --------------------------------------- (Yvonne's office) [DOCTOR] Yeah, which one? Is there any sort of sign?Anything to identify it? [JACKIE [OC]] Yes, a fire extinguisher. [DOCTOR] Yeah, that helps --------------------------------------- (Stairwell) [JACKIE] Oh, wait a minute. It says N3. --------------------------------------- (Yvonne's office) [DOCTOR] North corner, staircase three. Just keeplow, we're trying our best. --------------------------------------- (Stairwell) [JACKIE] No, don't leave me. --------------------------------------- (Yvonne's office) [DOCTOR] I've got to go. I'm sorry. [DOCTOR] Jacqueline Andrea Suzette Tyler. [PETE] She's not my wife. [DOCTOR] I was at the wedding. You got her name wrong. Now then, Jakeyboy, if I can open up the bonding chamber on this thing, it'll work onpolycarbite. [JAKE] What's polycarbite? [DOCTOR] Skin of a Dalek. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [DOCTOR] Sorry. No white flag. I only had a sheet of A4. Samedifference. [CYBERMAN] Do you surrender? [DOCTOR] I surrender unto you. A very good idea. --------------------------------------- (Sphere laboratory) [DALEK] Final stage of awakening. [BLACK DALEK] Your handprint will open the Ark. [ROSE] Well tough, because I'm not doing it. [BLACK DALEK] Obey or the male will die. [ROSE] I can't let them. [MICKEY] Rose, don't. [BLACK DALEK] Place your hand upon the casket. [ROSE] All right! You're going to kill us anyway, so what the hell? Ifyou er, escaped the Time War, don't you want to know what happened? [BLACK DALEK] Place your hand [ROSE] What happened to the Emperor? [BLACK DALEK] The Emperor survived? [ROSE] Till he met me. Because if these are going to be my last words,then you'regoing to listen. I met the Emperor, and I took the Time Vortex and Ipulled it into his head and turned him into dust. Do you get that? TheGod of all Daleks, and I destroyed him. Ha! [BLACK DALEK] You will be exterminated! [DOCTOR] Oh now, hold on, wait a minute. [BLACK DALEK] Alert, alert. You are the Doctor. [DALEK] Sensors report he is unarmed. [DOCTOR] That's me. Always. [BLACK DALEK] Then you are powerless. [DOCTOR] Not me. Never. How are you? [ROSE] Oh, same old, you know. [DOCTOR] Good. And Mickity McMickey. Nice to see you! [MICKEY] And you, boss. [DALEK] Social interaction will cease! [BLACK DALEK] How did you survive the Time War? [DOCTOR] By fighting. On the front line. I was there at the fall ofArcadia. Someday I might even come to terms with that. But you lot ranaway! [BLACK DALEK] We had to survive. [DOCTOR] The last four Daleks in existence. So what's so special aboutyou? [ROSE] Doctor, they've got names. I mean, Daleks don't have names, dothey? One of them said they [DALEK] I am Dalek Thay. [BLACK DALEK] Dalek Sek. [DALEK 3] Dalek Jast. [DALEK 2] Dalek Caan. [DOCTOR] So that's it! At last. The Cult of Skaro. I thought you werejust a legend. [ROSE] Who are they? [DOCTOR] A secret order above and beyond the Emperor himself. Their jobwas to imagine, think as the enemy thinks. Even dared to have names.All to find new ways of killing. [MICKEY] But that thing, they said it was yours. I mean, Time Lords.They built it. What does it do? [DOCTOR] I don't know. Never seen it before. [ROSE] But it's Time Lord. [DOCTOR] Both sides had secrets. What is it? What have you done? [BLACK DALEK] Time Lord science will restore Dalek supremacy. [DOCTOR] What does that mean? What sort of Time Lord science? What doyou mean? [ROSE] They said one touch from a time traveller will wake it up. [DOCTOR] Technology using the one thing a Dalek can't do. Touch. Sealedinside your casing. Not feeling anything ever, from birth to death,locked inside a cold metal cage. Completely alone. That explains yourvoice. No wonder you scream. [BLACK DALEK] The Doctor will open the Ark! [DOCTOR] The Doctor will not. [BLACK DALEK] You have no way of resisting. [DOCTOR] Well, you got me there. Although there is always this. [BLACK DALEK] A sonic probe? [DOCTOR] That's screwdriver. [BLACK DALEK] It is harmless. [DOCTOR] Oh, yes. Harmless is just the word. That's why I like it.Doesn't kill, doesn't wound, doesn't maim. But I'll tell you what itdoes do. It is very good at opening doors. [CYBERMAN] Delete! Delete! Delete! Delete! [DALEK 3] Alert. Casing impaired. Casing impaired. [DOCTOR] Rose, get out! [BLACK DALEK] Fire power insufficient! Fire power insufficient! [PETE] Come on. [CYBERMAN] Daleks will be deleted. Delete. Delete. [ROSE] Mickey, come on! [DALEK 3] Adapt to weaponry. [BLACK DALEK] Fire power restored! [BLACK DALEK] Cybermen primary target. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [DOCTOR] Jake, check the stairwell. The rest of you, come on. --------------------------------------- (Sphere chamber) [BLACK DALEK] Cybermen have been exterminated. Daleks are supreme. [DALEK 2] The Genesis Ark is primed. [BLACK DALEK] The Ark needs area of thirteen square miles. Move! [DALEK 2] Genesis Ark mobile. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [MICKEY] I just fell, I didn't mean it! [DOCTOR] Mickey, without us, they'd have opened it by force. To do that,they'd have blown up the sun. You've done us a favour. Now, run! --------------------------------------- (Corridor 2) [CYBERMAN] You will be upgraded. [JACKIE] No, but you can't. Please. [JACKIE] Pete? [PETE] Hello, Jacks. [JACKIE] I said there were ghosts, but that's not fair. Why him? [PETE] I'm not a ghost. [JACKIE] But you're dead. You died twenty years ago, Pete. [DOCTOR] It's Pete from a different universe. There are parallel worlds,Jackie. Every single decision we make creates a parallel existence, adifferent dimension where [JACKIE] Oh, you can shut up. Oh, you look old. [PETE] You don't. [JACKIE] How can you be standing there? [PETE] I just got lucky. Lived my life. You were left on your own. Youdidn't marry again, or [JACKIE] There was never anyone else. Twenty years, though. Look at me.I never left that flat. Did nothing with myself. [PETE] You brought her up. Rose Tyler. That's not bad. [JACKIE] Yeah. [PETE] In my world, it worked. All those daft little plans of mine, theyworked. Made me rich. [JACKIE] I don't care about that. How rich? [PETE] Very. [JACKIE] I don't care about that. How very? [PETE] Thing is though, Jacks, you're not my wife. I'm sorry, but you'renot. I mean, we both. You know, it's just sort of. Oh, come here. --------------------------------------- (Warehouse) [BLACK DALEK] Exterminate! [CYBERMEN] Delete. Delete. [DALEK] Exterminate. [CYBERMAN] Delete. [SOLDIER] Everyone get down.

[ROSE] Come on, please. [SOLDIER] Cover me. [BLACK DALEK] Override roof mechanism. [BLACK DALEK] Elevate. [ROSE] What're they doing? Why do they need to get outside?? [DOCTOR] Time Lord science. What Time Lord science? What is it? --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [DOCTOR] We've got to see what it's doing. We've gotto go back up. Come on! All of you. top floor! [JACKIE] That's forty five floors up! Believe me, I've done them all. [JAKE] We could always take the lift. --------------------------------------- (Midair) [BLACK DALEK] The Genesis Ark will open. --------------------------------------- (Yvonne's office) [DOCTOR] Time Lord science. It's bigger on the inside. [MICKEY] Did the Time Lords put those Daleks in there? What for? [DOCTOR] It's a prison ship. [ROSE] How many Daleks? [DOCTOR] Millions. --------------------------------------- (Midair) [BLACK DALEK] Exterminate all life forms below.Exterminate! --------------------------------------- (Lever room) [PETE] I'm sorry, but you've had it. This world'sgoing to crash and burn. There's nothing we can do. We're going home. [PETE] Jacks, take this. You're coming with us. [JACKIE] But they're destroying the city. [PETE] I'd forgotten you could argue. It's not just London, it's thewhole world. But there's another world just waiting for you, Jacks. Andit's safe as long as the Doctor closes the breach. Doctor? [DOCTOR] Oh, I'm ready. I've got the equipment right here. Thank you,Torchwood. [DOCTOR] Slam it down and close off both universes. [COMPUTER] Reboot systems. [ROSE] But we can't just leave. What about the Daleks? And the Cybermen? [DOCTOR] They're part of the problem, and that makes them part of thesolution. Oh yes! Well? Isn't anyonegoing to ask what is it with the glasses? [ROSE] What is it with the glasses? [DOCTOR] I can see, that's what. because we've got two separate worlds,but in between the two separate worlds, we've got the Void. That'swhere the Daleks were hiding. And the Cybermen travelled through theVoid to get here. And you lot, one world to another, via the Void. Oh,I like that. Via the Void. Look. [DOCTOR] I've been through it. Do you see? [COMPUTER] Reboot in three minutes. [ROSE] What is it? [DOCTOR] Void stuff. [ROSE] Like er, background radiation. [DOCTOR] That's it. Look at the others. And the only one who hasn't beenthrough the Void, your mother. First time she's looked normal all inher life. [JACKIE] Oi. [DOCTOR] But the Daleks lived inside the Void. They're bristling withit. Cybermen, all of them. I just open the Void and reverse. The Voidstuff gets sucked back inside. [ROSE] Pulling them all in! [DOCTOR] Pulling them all in! [MICKEY] Sorry, what's the Void? [DOCTOR] The dead space. Some people call it Hell. [MICKEY] So you're sending the Daleks and Cybermen to Hell. Man, I toldyou he was good. [ROSE] But it's like you said. We've all got Void stuff. Me too, becausewe went to that parallel world. We're all contaminated. We'll getpulled in. [DOCTOR] That's why you've got to go. [COMPUTER] Reboot in two minutes. [DOCTOR] Back to Pete's world. Hey, we should call it that. Pete'sWorld. I'm opening the Void, but only on this side. You'll be safe onthat side. [PETE] And then you close it, for good? [DOCTOR] The breach itself is soaked in Void stuff. In the end it'llclose itself. And that's it. Kaput. [ROSE] But you stay on this side? [MICKEY] But you'll get pulled in. [DOCTOR] That's why I got these. (Magnaclamps) I'll just have to hold ontight. I've been doing it all my life. [ROSE] I'm supposed to go. [DOCTOR] Yeah. [ROSE] To another world, and then it gets sealed off. [DOCTOR] Yeah. [ROSE] Forever. That's not going to happen. [PETE] We haven't got time to argue. The plan works. We're going. Youtoo. All of us. [ROSE] No, I'm not leaving here. [JACKIE] I'm not going without her. [PETE] Oh, my God. We're going! [JACKIE] I've had twenty years without you, so button it. I'm notleaving her. [ROSE] You've got to. [JACKIE] Well, that's tough. [ROSE] Mum. [COMPUTER] Reboot in one minute. [ROSE] I've had a life with you for nineteen years, but then I met theDoctor, and all the things I've seen him do for me, for you, for all ofus. For the whole stupid planet and every planet out there. He does italone, mum. But not anymore, because now he's got me. [ROSE] What're you --------------------------------------- (Parallel Torchwood) [ROSE] Oh no, you don't. He's not doing that to meagain. --------------------------------------- (Lever room) [ROSE] I think this is the on switch. --------------------------------------- (Parallel Torchwood) [JACKIE] But I've got to go back! [PETE] The Doctor said every time we use one of these, it damages thewhole world. Now that's it! [JACKIE] She's your daughter! [PETE] She's your daughter, not mine. That's an order. [JACKIE] Mickey, tell him. Tell him, Mickey. Mickey! --------------------------------------- (Lever room) [DOCTOR] Once the breach collapses, that's it. Youwill never be able to see her again. Your own mother! [ROSE] I made my choice a long time ago, and I'm never going to leaveyou. So what can I do to help? [COMPUTER] Systems rebooted. Open access. [DOCTOR] Those coordinates over there, set them all at six. And hurryup. --------------------------------------- (Parallel Torchwood) [JACKIE] Get away from me! --------------------------------------- (Lever room) [ROSE] We've got Cybermen on the way up. [DOCTOR] How many floors down? [ROSE] Just one. --------------------------------------- (Stairwell) [CYBERLEADER] We will retreat through the breach.Regain the Home World. [CYBER-YVONNE] You will not pass. [CYBERMAN] What is the meaning of this? [CYBER-YVONNE] You will not pass. [CYBER-YVONNE] I did my duty for Queen and Country. I did my duty forQueen and Country. I did my duty for Queen and Country. --------------------------------------- (Lever room) [COMPUTER] Levers operational. [ROSE] That's more like it. Bit of a smile. The old team. [DOCTOR] Hope and Glory, Mutt and Jeff, Shiver and Shake. [ROSE] Which one's Shiver? [DOCTOR] Oh, I'm Shake. [DOCTOR] Press the red button. --------------------------------------- (Midair) [BLACK DALEK] Breach active. It is the Doctor.Exterminate him! [DALEKS] Exterminate! --------------------------------------- (Lever room) [DOCTOR] When it starts, just hold on tight.Shouldn't be too bad for us but the Daleks and the Cybermen are steepedin Void stuff. Are you ready? [ROSE] So are they. [DOCTOR] Let's do it! [COMPUTER] Online. [DALEKS] Emergency! [DOCTOR] The breach is open! Into the Void! Ha! --------------------------------------- (Midair) [BLACK DALEK] Emergency temporal shift! --------------------------------------- (Lever room) [COMPUTER] Offline. [ROSE] I've got to get it upright! [COMPUTER] Online and locked. [DOCTOR] Rose, hold on! Hold on! [COMPUTER] Systems closed. --------------------------------------- (Parallel Torchwood) [ROSE] Take me back! Take me back! Take me back. [PETE] It's stopped working. He did it. He closed the breach. [ROSE] No. [DOCTOR [OC]] Rose. --------------------------------------- (The Tyler house) [ROSE [OC]] Last night I had a dream. [DOCTOR [OC]] Rose [ROSE [OC]] I heard a voice and it was calling my name. [DOCTOR [OC]] Rose. Rose. Rose. [ROSE] I had a dream. [ROSE [OC]] I told Mum and Dad and Mickey. Anyone else would think I wasmad. But not those three. They believed it because they've met theDoctor. So they listened to the dream. [ROSE] He was calling me, and [ROSE [OC]] And that night, we packed up, got into dad's old Jeep andoff we went. Just like the dream said. Followed the voice across thewater. Kept on driving hundreds and hundreds of miles, because he'scalling. [DOCTOR [OC]] Rose. --------------------------------------- (Dårlig Ulv Stranden) [ROSE [OC]] Here I am at last. And this is the story of how I died. [ROSE] Where are you? [HOLO-DOCTOR] Inside the Tardis. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] There's one tiny little gap in the Universeleft, just about to close, and it takes a lot of power to send thisprojection. I'm in orbit around a super nova. I'm burning up a sun justto say goodbye. --------------------------------------- (Dårlig Ulv Stranden) [ROSE] You look like a ghost. [HOLO-DOCTOR] Hold on [ROSE] Can I [HOLO-DOCTOR] I'm still just an image. No touch. [ROSE] Can't you come through properly? [HOLO-DOCTOR] The whole thing would fracture. Two universes wouldcollapse. [ROSE] So? [HOLO-DOCTOR] Where are we? Where did the gap come out? [ROSE] We're in Norway. [HOLO-DOCTOR] Norway. Right. [ROSE] About fifty miles out of Burgen. It's called 'Dårlig UlvStranden'. [HOLO-DOCTOR] Dalek? [ROSE] Dårlig. It's Norwegian for bad. This translates as Bad Wolf Bay.How long have we got? [HOLO-DOCTOR] About two minutes. [ROSE] I can't think of what to say! [HOLO-DOCTOR] You've still got Mister Mickey, then? [ROSE] There's five of us now. Mum, Dad, Mickey and the baby. [HOLO-DOCTOR] You're not? [ROSE] No. It's mum. She's three months gone. More Tylers on the way. [HOLO-DOCTOR] And what about you? Are you [ROSE] Yeah, I'm back working in the shop. [HOLO-DOCTOR] Oh, good for you. [ROSE] Shut up. No, I'm not. There's still a Torchwood on this planet.It's open for business. I think I know a thing or two about aliens. [HOLO-DOCTOR] Rose Tyler, Defender of the Earth. You're dead,officially, back home. So many people died that day and you've gonemissing. You're on a list of the dead. Here you are, living a life dayafter day. The one adventure I can never have. [ROSE] Am I ever going to see you again? [HOLO-DOCTOR] You can't. [ROSE] What're you going to do? [HOLO-DOCTOR] Oh, I've got the Tardis. Same old life, last of the TimeLords. [ROSE] On your own. I, I love you. [HOLO-DOCTOR] Quite right, too. And I suppose, if it's one last chanceto say it, Rose Tyler --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] What? [DONNA] Oh! [DOCTOR] What? [DONNA] Who are you? [DOCTOR] But [DONNA] Where am I, eh? [DOCTOR] What? [DONNA] What the hell is this place? [DOCTOR] What?

Doctor Who (22 Apr, 2006; Tenth Doctor) - Tooth and Claw [STEWARD] Come now, Father. You should know better. You're not welcomehere, and especially not today. I've got no time to start oldarguments. [ANGELO] We want only one thing. [STEWARD] And what would that be? [ANGELO] This house. [STEWARD] You want the house? [ANGELO] We will take the house. [STEWARD] Would you like my wife while you're at it? [ANGELO] If you won't stand aside, then we'll take it by force. [STEWARD] By what power? The Hand of God? [ANGELO] No. The Fist of Man. --------------------------------------- (Cellar) [STEWARD] In the name of Heaven. My Lady? [STEWARD] What's in there? What is it, what's under the canvas? Father,answer me. What's in there? [ANGELO] May God forgive me. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [ROSE] What do you think of this? Will it do? [DOCTOR] In the late 1970s? You'd be better off in a bin bag. Hold on,listen to this. [DOCTOR] Ian Dury and the Blockheads. Number One in 1979. [ROSE] You're a punk. [DOCTOR] It's good to be a lunatic. [ROSE] That's what you are. A big old punk with a bit of rockabilllythrown in. [DOCTOR] Would you like to see him? [ROSE] How'd you mean? In concert? [DOCTOR] What else is a Tardis for? I can take you to the Battle ofTrafalgar, the first anti-gravity Olympics, Caesar crossing the Rubiconor Ian Dury at the Top Rank, Sheffield, England, Earth, 21st November,1979. What do you think? [ROSE] Sheffield it is. [DOCTOR] Hold on tight. [ROSE] Stop! [DOCTOR] 1979. Hell of a year. China invades Vietnam. The Muppet Movie.Love that film. Margaret Thatcher. Urgh. Skylab falls to Earth, with alittle help from me. Nearly took off my thumb. --------------------------------------- (Highlands) [DOCTOR] And I like my thumb. I need my thumb. I'mvery attached to [DOCTOR] My thumb. [DOCTOR] 1879. Same difference. [REYNOLDS] You will explain your presence. And the nakedness of thisgirl. [DOCTOR] Are we in Scotland? [REYNOLDS] How can you be ignorant of that? [DOCTOR] Oh, I'm, I'm dazed and confused. I've been chasing this, thiswee naked child over hill and over dale. Isn't that right, ya timorousbeastie? [ROSE] Och, aye! I've been oot and aboot. [DOCTOR] No, don't do that. [ROSE] Hoots mon. [DOCTOR] No, really don't. Really. [REYNOLDS] Will you identify yourself, sir? [DOCTOR] I'm Doctor James McCrimmon, from the township of Balamory. Ihave my credentials, if I may. [DOCTOR] As you can see, a Doctorate from the University of Edinburgh. Itrained under Doctor Bell himself. [VICTORIA [OC]] Let them approach. [REYNOLDS] I don't think that's wise, ma'am. [VICTORIA [OC]] Let them approach. [REYNOLDS] You will approach the carriage, and show all due deference. [DOCTOR] Rose, might I introduce her Majesty Queen Victoria. Empress ofIndia and Defender of the Faith. [ROSE] Rose Tyler, Ma'am. And my apologies for being so naked. [VICTORIA] I've had five daughters. It's nothing to me. But you, Doctor.Show me these credentials. [VICTORIA] Why didn't you say so immediately? It states clearly herethat you have been appointed by the Lord Provost as my Protector. [DOCTOR] Does it? Yes, it does. Good. Good. Then let me ask - why isYour Majesty travelling by road when there's a train all the way toAberdeen? [VICTORIA] A tree on the line. [DOCTOR] An accident? [VICTORIA] I am the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain andIreland. Everything around me tends to be planned. [DOCTOR] An assassination attempt? [ROSE] What, seriously? There's people out to kill you? [VICTORIA] I'm quite used to staring down the barrel of a gun. [REYNOLDS] Sir Robert MacLeish lives but ten miles hence. We've sentword ahead. He'll shelter us for tonight, then we can reach Balmoraltomorrow. [VICTORIA] This Doctor and his timorous beastie will come with us. [REYNOLDS] Yes, Ma'am. We'd better get moving - it's almost nightfall. [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! [ROSE] It's funny though, because you say assassination and you justthink of Kennedy and stuff. Not her. [DOCTOR] 1879? She's had, oh, six attempts on her life? And I'll tellyou something else. We just met Queen Victoria! [ROSE] I know! [DOCTOR] What a laugh! [ROSE] She was just sitting there. [DOCTOR] Like a stamp. [ROSE] I want her to say we are not amused. I bet you five quid I canmake her say it. [DOCTOR] Well, if I gambled on that, it'd be an abuse of my privilegesof traveller in time. [ROSE] Ten quid? [DOCTOR] Done. --------------------------------------- (Torchwood House) [ROBERT] I can't do this. It's treason. [ANGELO] Then your wife will suffer the consequences. And believe me,Sir Robert, she will be devoured. --------------------------------------- (Courtyard) [ROBERT] Your Majesty. [VICTORIA] Sir Robert. My apologies for the emergency. And how is LadyIsobel? [ROBERT] She's indisposed, I'm afraid. She's gone to Edinburgh for theseason. And she's taken the cook with her. The kitchens are barelystocked. I wouldn't blame Your Majesty if you wanted to ride on. [VICTORIA] Oh, not at all. I've had quite enough carriage exercise. Andthis is charming, if rustic. It's my first visit to this house. My latehusband spoke of it often. The Torchwood Estate. Now, shall we goinside? And please excuse the naked girl. [ROSE] Sorry. [DOCTOR] She's a feral child. I bought her for sixpence in old LondonTown. It's was her or the Elephant Man, so [ROSE] Thinks he's funny but I'm so not amused. What do you think,Ma'am? [VICTORIA] It hardly matters. Shall we proceed? [ROSE] So close. [REYNOLDS] Makerson and Ramsey, you will escort the property. Hurry up. [SOLDIERS] Yes, sir. [DOCTOR] So what's in there, then? [REYNOLDS] Property of the Crown. You will dismiss any further thoughts,sir. The rest of you go to the rear of the house. Assume yourdesignated positions. [SOLDIER] You heard the orders. Positions. SOLDIER 2 --------------------------------------- (Strongroom) [REYNOLDS] Guard it with your life. --------------------------------------- (Observatory) [VICTORIA] This, I take it, is the famous Endeavour. [ROBERT] All my father's work. Built by hand in his final years. Becamesomething of an obsession. He spent his money on this rather thancaring for the house or himself. [DOCTOR] I wish I'd met him. I like him. That thing's beautiful. Can I? [ROBERT] Help yourself. [DOCTOR] What did he model it on? [ROBERT] I know nothing about it. To be honest, most of us thought him alittle, shall we say, eccentric. I wish now I'd spent more time withhim and listened to his stories. [DOCTOR] It's a bit rubbish. How many prisms has it got? Way too many.The magnification's gone right over the top. That's stupid kind of (toRose) Am I being rude again? [ROSE] Yep. [DOCTOR] But it's pretty. It's very pretty. [VICTORIA] And the imagination of it should be applauded. [ROSE] Mmm. Thought you might disapprove, Your Majesty. Stargazing.Isn't that a bit fanciful? You could easily not be amused, orsomething? No? [VICTORIA] This device surveys the infinite work of God. What could befiner? Sir Robert's father was an example to us all. A polymath,steeped in astronomy and sciences, yet equally well versed in folkloreand fairytales. [DOCTOR] Stars and magic. I like him more and more. [VICTORIA] Oh, my late husband enjoyed his company. Prince Alberthimself was acquainted with many rural superstitions, coming as he didfrom Saxe Coburg. [DOCTOR] That's Bavaria. [VICTORIA] When Albert was told about your local wolf, he wastransported. [DOCTOR] So, what's this wolf, then? [ROBERT] It's just a story. [DOCTOR] Then tell it. [ROBERT] It's said that [ANGELO] Excuse me, sir. Perhaps her Majesty's party could repair totheir rooms. It's almost dark. [ROBERT] Of course. Yes, of course. [VICTORIA] And then supper. And could we find some clothes for MissTyler? I'm tired of nakedness. [ROSE] It's not amusing, is it? [VICTORIA] Sir Robert, your wife must have 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. [ROBERT] So there is, Ma'am. --------------------------------------- (Bedroom) [FLORA] They came through the house. In the excitement they took theSteward and the Master, and my Lady. [ROSE] Listen. I've got a friend. He's called the Doctor. He'll knowwhat to do. You'vegot to come with me. [FLORA] Oh, but I can't, Miss. [ROSE] What's your name? [FLORA] Flora. [ROSE] Flora, we'll be safe. There's more people arrived downstairs,soldiers and everything, and they can help us. I promise. Come on.Okay? Come on. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [FLORA] Oh, Miss. I did warn you. [ROSE] He's not dead. I don't think, he must be drugged or something. --------------------------------------- (Dining room) [ANGELO] Your companion begs an apology, Doctor. Herclothing has somewhat delayed her. [DOCTOR] Oh, that's all right. Save her a wee bit of ham. [VICTORIA] The feral child could probably eat it raw. [REYNOLDS] Very wise, Ma'am. Very witty. [VICTORIA] Slightly witty, perhaps. I know you rarely get the chance todine with me, Captain, but don't get too excited. I shall contain mywit in case I do you further injury. [REYNOLDS] Yes, Ma'am. Sorry, Ma'am. [DOCTOR] Besides, we're all waiting on Sir Robert. Come, sir. Youpromised us a tale of nightmares. [VICTORIA] Indeed. Since my husband's death, I find myself with more ofa taste for supernatural fiction. [DOCTOR] You must miss him. [VICTORIA] Very much. Oh, completely. And that's the charm of a ghoststory, isn't it? Not the scares and chills, that's just for children,but the hope of some contact with the great beyond. We all want somemessage from that place. It's the Creator's greatest mystery that we'reallowed no such consolation. The dead stay silent, and we must wait.Come. Begin your tale, Sir Robert. There's a chill in the air. The windis howling through the eaves. Tell us of monsters. --------------------------------------- (Cellar) [ISOBEL] Don't make a sound. They said if we scream or shout, then hewill slaughter us. [ROSE] But he's in a cage. He's a prisoner. He's the same as us. [ISOBEL] He's nothing like us. That creature is not mortal. --------------------------------------- (Dining room) [ROBERT] The story goes back three hundred years.Every full moon, the howling rings through the valley. The nextmorning, livestock is found ripped apart and devoured. [REYNOLDS] Tales like this just disguise the work of thieves. Steal asheep and blame a wolf, simple as that. [ROBERT] But sometimes a child goes missing. Once in a generation, a boywill vanish from his homestead. --------------------------------------- (Cellar) [ISOBEL] Don't, child. [ROSE] Who are you? [STEWARD] Don't enrage him. [ROSE] Where are you from? You're not from Earth. What planet are youfrom? [WEREWOLF] Oh, intelligence. [ROSE] Where were you born? [WEREWOLF] This body? Ten miles away. A weakling, heartsick boy, stolenaway at night by the brethren for my cultivation. I carved out his souland sat in his heart. --------------------------------------- (Dining room) [DOCTOR] Are there descriptions of the creature? [ROBERT] Oh, yes, Doctor. Drawings and woodcarvings. And it's not merelya wolf. It's more than that. This is a man who becomes an animal. [DOCTOR] A werewolf? --------------------------------------- (Cellar) [ROSE] All right, so the body's human. But whatabout you, the thing inside? [WEREWOLF] So far from home. [ROSE] If you want to get back home, we can help. [WEREWOLF] Why would I leave this place? A world of industry, ofworkforce and warfare. I could turn it to such purpose. [ROSE] How would you do that? [WEREWOLF] I would migrate to the Holy Monarch. [ROSE] You mean Queen Victoria? [WEREWOLF] With one bite, I would pass into her blood, and then itbegins. The Empire of the Wolf. Many questions. [WEREWOLF] Look. Inside your eyes. You've seen it too. [ROSE] Seen what? [WEREWOLF] The Wolf. There is something of the Wolf about you. [ROSE] I don't know what you mean. [WEREWOLF] You burnt like the sun, but all I require is the moon. --------------------------------------- (Dining room) [ROBERT] My father didn't treat it as a story. He said it was fact. Heeven claimed to have communed with the beast, to have learned itspurpose. I should have listened. His work was hindered. He madeenemies. There's a monastery in the Glen of Saint Catherine. TheBrethren opposed my father's investigations. [VICTORIA] Perhaps they thought his work ungodly. [ROBERT] That's what I thought. But now I wonder. What if they had adifferent reason for wanting the story kept quiet? What if they turnedfrom God and worshipped the wolf? [DOCTOR] And what if they were with us right now? --------------------------------------- (Cellar) [WEREWOLF] Moonlight [ROSE] All of you! Stop looking at it! Flora, don't look. Listen to me.Grab hold of the chain and pull! Come on! With me! Pull! [ROSE] I said pull! Stop your whining and listen to me! All of you! Andthat means you, your Ladyship. Now come on, pull! --------------------------------------- (Dining room) [VICTORIA] What is the meaning of this? [REYNOLDS] Explain yourself, Sir Robert! [VICTORIA] What's happening? [ROBERT] I'm sorry, Your Majesty, they've got my wife. [DOCTOR] Rose! Where's Rose? Where is she? Sir Robert, come on! --------------------------------------- (Cellar) [ROSE] One, two, three, pull! One, two, three, pull! --------------------------------------- (Dining room) [REYNOLDS] Tell me, sir. I demand to know yourintention! [ANGELO] Lupus deus est. Lupus deus est. [REYNOLDS] What is it that you want? [ANGELO] The throne. --------------------------------------- (Cellar) [ROSE] One, two, three, pull! [ROSE] Where the hell have you been? [DOCTOR] Oh, that's beautiful. [ROBERT] Come on, go. Get out! [DOCTOR] Out! Out! Out! Out! Out! Out! Out! Out! Out! Out! [ROSE] Come on. --------------------------------------- (Dining room) [VICTORIA] I take it, sir, that you halted my train to bring me here? [ANGELO] We have waited so long for one of your journeys to coincidewith the moon. [VICTORIA] Then you have waited in vain. After six attempts on my life [VICTORIA] I am hardly unprepared. [ANGELO] Oh, I don't think so, woman. [VICTORIA] The correct form of address is Your Majesty. --------------------------------------- (Gun room) [(The Steward hands out the contents of the guncupboard to the men.)STEWARD] Arms, and you five. Ready, everyone? (to Lady Isobel) Take thegirls. Get them out through the kitchen. [ISOBEL] I can't leave you. What will you do? [ROBERT] I must defend her Majesty. Now, don't think of me, just go. [ISOBEL] All of you, at my side. Come on! [DOCTOR] It could be any form of light modulated species triggered byspecific wavelengths. Did it say what it wanted? [ROSE] The Queen, the Crown, the throne - you name it. [STEWARD] Fire! Fire! --------------------------------------- (Kitchen) [ISOBEL] It won't open. They've sealed us in. [FLORA] Oh, my Lady. Look! [FLORA] They'll never let us out. They mean for us to die! [ISOBEL] Don't say that, Flora! --------------------------------------- (Gun room) [DOCTOR] All right, you men. We should retreatupstairs. Come with me. [STEWARD] I'll not retreat. The battle's done. There's no creature onGod's Earth that could survive such an assault. [DOCTOR] I'm telling you, come upstairs! [STEWARD] And I'm telling you, sir, I will sleep well tonight with thatthing's hide upon my wall. [STEWARD] It must have crawled away to die. [DOCTOR] There's nothing we can do! --------------------------------------- (Kitchen) [FLORA] Did they kill it? --------------------------------------- (Staircase) [ROBERT] Your Majesty? Your Majesty! [VICTORIA] Sir Robert? What's happening? [VICTORIA] I heard such terrible noises. [ROBERT] Your Majesty, we've got to get out. But what of Father Angelo?Is he still here? [VICTORIA] Captain Reynolds disposed of him. [DOCTOR] 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. --------------------------------------- (Drawing room) [ROBERT] Excuse my manners, Ma'am, but I shall gofirst, the better to assist Her Majesty's egress. [VICTORIA] A noble sentiment, my Sir Walter Raleigh. [DOCTOR] Yeah, any chance you could hurry up? [DOCTOR] I reckon the monkey boys want us to stay inside. [VICTORIA] Do they know who I am?? [ROSE] Yeah, that's why they want you. The wolf's lined you up for a, abiting. [VICTORIA] Stop this talk. There can't be an actual wolf. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [ROSE] What do we do? [DOCTOR] We run. [ROSE] Is that it? [DOCTOR] You got any silver bullets? [ROSE] Not on me, no. [DOCTOR] There we are then, we run. Your Majesty, as a Doctor, Irecommend a vigourous jog. Good for the health. Come on! --------------------------------------- (Staircase) [DOCTOR] Come on! Come on! --------------------------------------- (Library corridor) [REYNOLDS] I'll take this position and hold it. You keep moving, forGod's sake! Your Majesty, I went to look for the property and it wastaken. The chest was empty. [VICTORIA] I have it. It's safe. [REYNOLDS] Then remove yourself, Ma'am. Doctor, you stand as HerMajesty's Protector. And you, Sir Robert, you're a traitor to thecrown. [DOCTOR] Bullets can't stop it! [REYNOLDS] They'll buy you time. Now run! --------------------------------------- (Library) [DOCTOR] Rose! [ROBERT] Barricade the door. [DOCTOR] Wait a minute. Shush, shush, wait a minute. [DOCTOR] It's stopped. [DOCTOR] It's gone. [ROSE] Listen. [DOCTOR] Is this the only door? [ROBERT] Yes. No! [ROSE] Shush. [ROSE] I don't understand. What's stopping it? [DOCTOR] Something inside this room. What is it? Why can't it get in? [ROSE] I'll tell you what, though. [DOCTOR] What? [ROSE] Werewolf. [DOCTOR] I know. You all right? [ROSE] I'm okay, yeah. [ROBERT] I'm sorry, Ma'am. It's all my fault. I should have sent youaway. I tried to suggest something was wrong. I thought you mightnotice. Did you think there was nothing strange about my householdstaff? [DOCTOR] Well, they were bald, athletic. Your wife's away, I justthought you were happy. [ROSE] I'll tell you what though, Ma'am, I bet you're not amused now. [VICTORIA] Do you think this is funny? [ROSE] No, Ma'am. I'm sorry. [VICTORIA] What, exactly, I pray tell me, someone, please. What exactlyis that creature? [DOCTOR] You'd call it a werewolf, but technically it's a more of alupine wavelength haemovariform. [VICTORIA] And should I trust you, sir? You who change your voice soeasily? What happened to your accent? [DOCTOR] Oh right, sorry, that's [VICTORIA] I'll not have it. No, sir. Not you, not that thing, none ofit. This is not my world. --------------------------------------- (Kitchen) [ISOBEL] Mistletoe. They're all garlanded in mistletoe and the wolfdoesn't attack them. Who brought this into the kitchen? [FLORA] It must've been the Brethren. [ISOBEL] Gather it up. Quickly. Every last scrap. Quick, now! --------------------------------------- (Library) [DOCTOR] Mistletoe. Sir Robert, did you father put that there? [ROBERT] I don't know. I suppose. [DOCTOR] On the other door, too. No, a carving wouldn't be enough. Iwonder. [DOCTOR] Viscum album, the oil of the mistletoe. It's been worked intothe wood like a varnish. How clever was your dad? I love him. Powerfulstuff, mistletoe. Bursting with lectins and viscotoxins. [ROSE] And the wolf's allergic to it? [DOCTOR] Well, it thinks it is. The monkey monk monks need a way ofcontrolling the wolf, maybe they trained it to react against certainthings. [ROBERT] Nevertheless, that creature won't give up, Doctor, and we stilldon't possess an actual weapon. [DOCTOR] Oh, your father got all the brains, didn't he? [ROSE] Being rude again. [DOCTOR] Good. I meant that one. You want weapons? We're in a library.Books! Best weapons in the world. This room's the greatest arsenal wecould have. [DOCTOR] Arm yourself. --------------------------------------- (Kitchen) [FLORA] There's no sound of the wolf, my Lady. Perhaps it's gone. [ISOBEL] Perhaps it's toying with us. But my husband's up there, and ifthere's any chance he's still alive, then by God, I'll assist him. --------------------------------------- (Library) [ROSE] Biology, zoology. There might be something onwolves in here [DOCTOR] Hold on, what about this? A book on mistletoe. [ROSE] A book on magic. [ROBERT] Some form of explosive. [DOCTOR] Hmm, that's the sort of thing. [ROSE] Wolf's bane, what about that? [DOCTOR] Look what your old dad found. Something fell to Earth. [ROSE] A spaceship? [ROBERT] A shooting star. (reads) In the year of our Lord 1540, underthe reign of King James the Fifth, an almighty fire did burn in thepit. That's the Glen of Saint Catherine just by the monastery. [ROSE] But that's over three hundred years ago. What's it been waitingfor? [DOCTOR] Maybe just a single cell survived. Adapting slowly down thegenerations, it survived through the humans, host after host afterhost. [ROBERT] But why does it want the throne? [ROSE] That's what it wants. It said so. The, the Empire of the Wolf. [DOCTOR] Imagine it. The Victorian Age accelerated. Starships andmissiles fueled by coal and driven by steam, leaving history devastatedin its wake [VICTORIA] Sir Robert. If I am to die here. [ROBERT] Don't say that, Your Majesty. [VICTORIA] I would destroy myself rather than let that creature infectme. But that's no matter. I ask only that you find some place ofsafekeeping for something far older and more precious than myself. [DOCTOR] Hardly the time to worry about your valuables. [VICTORIA] Thank you for your opinion, but there is nothing morevaluable than this. [ROSE] Is that the Koh-I-Noor? [DOCTOR] Oh, yes. The greatest diamond in the world. [VICTORIA] Given to me as the spoils of war. Perhaps its legend is nowcoming true. It is said that whoever owns it must surely die. [DOCTOR] Well, that's true of anything if you own it long enough. Can I? [DOCTOR] That is so beautiful. [ROSE] How much is that worth? [DOCTOR] They say the wages of the entire planet for a whole week. [ROSE] Good job my mum's not here. She'd be fighting the wolf off withher bare hands for that thing. [DOCTOR] And she'd win. [ROBERT] Where is the wolf? I don't trust this silence. [DOCTOR] Why do you travel with it? [VICTORIA] My annual pilgrimage. I'm taking it to Helier and Carew, theRoyal Jewellers at Hazelhead. The stone needs recutting. [ROSE] Oh, but it's perfect. [VICTORIA] My late husband never thought so. [DOCTOR] Now, there's a fact. Prince Albert kept on having theKoh-I-Noor cut down. It used to be forty percent bigger than this. Buthe was never happy. Kept on cutting and cutting. [VICTORIA] He always said the shine was not quite right. But he diedwith it still unfinished. [DOCTOR] Unfinished. Oh, yes. [DOCTOR] There's a lot of unfinished business in this house. Hisfather's research, and your husband, Ma'am, he came here and he soughtthe perfect diamond. Hold on, hold on. 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? [VICTORIA] Obviously. [DOCTOR] At least, that's what the wolf intended. But, what if there's atrap inside the trap? [VICTORIA] Explain yourself, Doctor. [DOCTOR] What if his father and your husband weren't just telling eachother stories. They dared to imagine all this was true, and theyplanned against it, laying the real trap not for you but for the wolf. [DOCTOR] That wolf there. [DOCTOR] Out! Out! Out! --------------------------------------- (Library corridor) [ROBERT] Your Majesty! [DOCTOR] Get to the observatory! [DOCTOR] Good shot. [FLORA] It was mistletoe. [ROBERT] Isobel! [ROBERT] Now, get back downstairs. [ISOBEL] Keep yourself safe. [ROBERT] Now go. [ISOBEL] Girls, come with me. Down the back stairs, back to thekitchens. Quickly! [DOCTOR] Come on! [ROBERT] The observatory's this way. --------------------------------------- (Outside the observatory) [DOCTOR] No mistletoe in these doors because yourfather wanted the wolf to get inside. I just need time. Is there anyway of barricading this? [ROBERT] Just do your work and I'll defend it. [DOCTOR] If we could bind them shut with rope or something. [ROBERT] I said I'd find you time, Sir. Now get inside. [DOCTOR] Good man. --------------------------------------- (Observatory) [DOCTOR] Your Majesty, the diamond. [VICTORIA] For what purpose? [DOCTOR] The purpose it was designed for. [DOCTOR] Rose. [DOCTOR] Lift it. Come on. [ROSE] Is this the right time for stargazing? [DOCTOR] Yes it is. --------------------------------------- (Outside the observatory) [ROBERT] I committed treason for you, but now mywife will remember me with honour! --------------------------------------- (Observatory) [ROSE] You said this thing doesn't work. [DOCTOR] It doesn't work as a telescope because that's not what it is.It's a light chamber. It magnifies the light rays like a weapon. We'vejust got to power it up. [ROSE] It won't work. There's no electricity. Moonlight. But the wolfneeds moonlight. It's made by moonlight. [DOCTOR] You're seventy percent water but you can still drown. Come on!Come on! [WEREWOLF] Make it brighter. Let me go. [DOCTOR] Your Majesty? Did it bite you? [VICTORIA] No, it's, it's a cut, that's all. [DOCTOR] If that thing bit you? [VICTORIA] It was a splinter of wood when the door came apart. It'snothing. [DOCTOR] Let me see. [VICTORIA] It is nothing. --------------------------------------- (Drawing room) [VICTORIA] By the power invested in me by the Church and the State, Idub thee Sir Doctor of Tardis. By the power invested in me by theChurch and the State, I dub thee Dame Rose of the Powell Estate. Youmay stand. [DOCTOR] Many thanks, Ma'am. [ROSE] Thanks. They're never going to believe this back home. [DOCTOR] Your Majesty, you said last night about receiving no messagefrom the great beyond. I think your husband cut that diamond to saveyour life. He's protecting you even now, Ma'am, from beyond the grave. [VICTORIA] Indeed. Then you may think on this also. That I am notamused. [ROSE] Yes! [VICTORIA] Not remotely amused. And henceforth I banish you. [DOCTOR] I'm sorry? [VICTORIA] I have rewarded you, Sir Doctor, and now you are exiled from thisempire, never to return. I don't know what you are, the two of you, orwhere you're from, but I know that you consort with stars and magic andthink it fun. But your world is steeped in terror and blasphemy anddeath, and I will not allow it. You will leave these shores and you willreflect, I hope, on how you came to stray so far from all that is good,and how much longer you may survive this terrible life. Now leave myworld, and never return. --------------------------------------- (Highlands) [DOUGAL] Whoa! [DOCTOR] Cheers, Dougal! [DOUGAL] Walk on. [DOCTOR] No, but the funny thing is, Queen Victoria did actually suffera mutation of the blood. It's historical record. She washaemophiliac. They used to call it the Royal Disease. But it's alwaysbeen a mystery because she didn't inherit it. Her mum didn't have it,her dad didn't have it. It came from nowhere. [ROSE] What, and you're saying that's a wolf bite? [DOCTOR] Well, maybe haemophilia is just a Victorian euphemism. [ROSE] For werewolf? [DOCTOR] Could be. [ROSE] Queen Victoria's a werewolf? [DOCTOR] Could be. And her children had the Royal Disease. Maybe shegave them a quick nip. [ROSE] So, the Royal Family are werewolves? [DOCTOR] Well, maybe not yet. I mean, a single wolf cell could take ahundred years to mature. Might be ready by, oh, early 21st century? [ROSE] Nah, that's just ridiculous! Mind you, Princess Anne. [DOCTOR] I'll say no more. [ROSE] And if you think about it, they're very private. They planeverything in advance. They could schedule themselves around the moon.We'd never know. And they like hunting! [ROSE [OC]] They love blood sports. Oh my God, they're werewolves! --------------------------------------- (Courtyard) [VICTORIA] What will you do? Will you stay here? [ISOBEL] I don't think I could. I'd sell it, or I'd pull this placedown. [VICTORIA] Although we may not speak of these events in public, theywill not be forgotten, I promise you that. Your husband's sacrifice,the ingenuity of his father, they will live on. [ISOBEL] But how? [VICTORIA] I saw last night that Great Britain has enemies beyondimagination, and we must defend our borders on all sides. I propose anInstitute to investigate these strange happenings and to fight them. Iwould call it Torchwood. The Torchwood Institute. And if this Doctorshould return, then he should beware, because Torchwood will be waiting.

[DOCTOR] So, physics. Physics, eh? Physics. Physics. Physics! Physics.Physics, physics, physics, physics, physics, physics, physics. I hopeone of you is getting all this down. Okay let's see what you know. Twoidentical strips of nylon are charged with static electricity and hungfrom a string so they can swing freely. What would happen if they werebrought near each other? [DOCTOR] Yes, er, what's your name? [MILO] Milo. [DOCTOR] Milo! Off you go. [MILO] They'd repel each other because they have the same charge. [DOCTOR] Correctamundo! A word I have never used before and hopefullynever will again. Question two. I coil up a thin piece of microwire andplace it in a glass of water. Then I turn on the electricity andmeasure to see if the water's temperature is affected. My question isthis. How do I measure the electrical power going into the coil? [DOCTOR] Someone else. No? Okay, Milo, go for it. [MILO] Measure the current and PDs in an ammeter and a voltmeter. [DOCTOR] Two to Milo. Right then, Milo, tell me this. True or false. Thegreater the dampening of the system, the quicker it loses energy to itssurroundings. [MILO] False. [DOCTOR] What is non-coding DNA? [MILO] DNA that doesn't code for a protein. [DOCTOR] Sixty five thousand nine hundred and eighty three times five? [MILO] Three hundred and twenty nine thousand nine hundred and fifteen. [DOCTOR] How do you travel faster than light? [MILO] By opening a quantum tunnel with an FTL factor of thirty sixpoint seven recurring. --------------------------------------- (Canteen) [ROSE] Two days. [DOCTOR] Sorry, could you just? There's a bit of gravy. No, no, just,just there. [ROSE] Two days, we've been here. [DOCTOR] Blame your boyfriend. He's the one who put us onto this. And hewas right. Boy in class this morning, got a knowledge way beyond planetEarth. [ROSE] You eating those chips? [DOCTOR] Yeah, they're a bit different. [ROSE] I think they're gorgeous. Wish I had school dinners like this. [DOCTOR] It's very well behaved, this place. [ROSE] Mmm. [DOCTOR] I thought there'd be happy slapping hoodies. Happy slappinghoodies with ASBOs. Happy slapping hoodies with ASBOs and ringtones.Huh? Huh? Oh, yeah. Don't tell me I don't fit in. [JACKSON] You are not permitted to leave your station during a sitting. [ROSE] I was just talking to this teacher. [DOCTOR] Hello. [ROSE] He doesn't like the chips. [JACKSON] The menu has been specifically designed by the headmaster toimprove concentration and performance. Now, get back to work. [ROSE] See? This is me. Dinner lady. [DOCTOR] I'll have the crumble. [ROSE] I'm so going to kill you. [WAGNER] Melissa. You'll be joining my class for the next period. Milo'sfailed me, so it's time we moved you up to the top class. Kenny, noteating the chips? [KENNY] I'm not allowed. [WAGNER] Luke. Extra class. Now. --------------------------------------- (Kitchen) [JACKSON] Careful. Keep it steady. Don't spill a drop. I said, keep itsteady. Careful. That's it. Easy now. Steady. [JACKSON] Right. Second barrel. Quickly now! [ROSE] What you got? [MICKEY [OC]] Confirmation. --------------------------------------- (Library) [MICKEY] I just got into army records. Three months ago, massive UFOactivity. --------------------------------------- (Kitchen) [MICKEY [OC]] They logged over forty sightings.Lights in the sky, all of that. --------------------------------------- (Library) [MICKEY] I can't get any photos, because then itgets all classified and secret. Keeps locking me out. [ROSE [OC]] Tell you what, though. --------------------------------------- (Kitchen) [ROSE] Three months ago, turns out all the kitchenstaff were replaced. And this lot are weird. --------------------------------------- (Library) [MICKEY] See? There's definitely something going on. --------------------------------------- (Kitchen) [MICKEY [OC]] I was right to call you home. [ROSE] I thought maybe you called me home just, well, just to call mehome. [MICKEY] Do you think I'd just invent an emergency? --------------------------------------- (Kitchen) [ROSE] You could've done. [MICKEY [OC]] That's the last thing I'd do. [JACKSON] Watch it! --------------------------------------- (Library) [MICKEY] Because every time I see you --------------------------------------- (Kitchen) [MICKEY [OC]] An emergency just gets in the way. [ROSE] I've got to go. [JACKSON] Get her up, get her up! --------------------------------------- (Library) [MICKEY] Rose, what is it? --------------------------------------- (Kitchen) [JACKSON] What're you doing? [ROSE] Calling an ambulance. [JACKSON] No need. She's quite all right. [JACKSON] It's fine. She does that. --------------------------------------- (IT classroom) [WAGNER] I'd like you all to put your headphones onnow, please. Now, children, the things you will see. --------------------------------------- (Staircase) [FINCH] Our work here. My improvements aren't confined to the classroom.Oh, no, no, no, no, no. We've introduced a new policy. School dinnersare absolutely free, but compulsory. Do try the chips. [SARAH] Oh, I'd love to. Thank you. And it's got to be said, thetransformation you've brought about is amazing. I mean, maybe you'reworking the children a little bit too hard now and then, but I thinkgood results, they're more important than anything. [FINCH] Exactly. You're a woman of vision, Miss Smith. [SARAH] Oh, I can see everything, Mister Finch. Quite clearly. --------------------------------------- (Staff room) [PARSONS] Yesterday, I had a twelve year old girlgive me the exact height of the Walls of Troy in cubits. [DOCTOR] And, it's ever since the new headmaster arrived? [PARSONS] Finch arrived three months ago. Next day, half the staff gotflu. Finch replaced them with that lot, except for the teacher youreplaced, and that was just plain weird, her winning the lottery likethat. [DOCTOR] How's that weird? [PARSONS] She never played. Said the ticket was posted through her doorat midnight. [DOCTOR] Hmm. The world is very strange. [FINCH] Excuse me, colleagues. A moment of your time. May I introduceMiss Sarah Jane Smith. Miss Smith is a journalist who's writing aprofile about me for the Sunday Times. I thought it might be useful forher to get a view from the trenches, so to speak. Don't spare myblushes. [SARAH] Hello. [DOCTOR] Oh, I should think so. [SARAH] And, you are? [DOCTOR] Hm? Er, Smith. John Smith. [SARAH] John Smith. I used to have a friend who sometimes went by thatname. [DOCTOR] Well, it's a very common name. [SARAH] He was a very uncommon man. Nice to meet you. [DOCTOR] Nice to meet you. Yes, very nice. More than nice. Brilliant. [SARAH] Er, so, er, have you worked here long? [DOCTOR] No. Er, it's only my second day. [SARAH] Oh, you're new, then. So, what do you think of the school? Imean, this new curriculum? So many children getting ill. Doesn't thatstrike you as odd? [DOCTOR] You don't sound like someone just doing a profile. [SARAH] Well, no harm in a little investigation while I'm here. [DOCTOR] No. Good for you. [DOCTOR] Good for you. Oh, good for you, Sarah Jane Smith. --------------------------------------- (IT classroom) [WAGNER] This isn't your classroom, Kenny. Now run along. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [ROSE] Oh, it's weird seeing school at night. It just feels wrong. WhenI was a kid, I used to think all the teachers slept in school. [DOCTOR] All right, team. Oh, I hate people who say team. Er, gang. Er,comrades. Anyway, Rose, go to the kitchen. Get a sample of that oil.Mickey, the new staff are all Maths teachers. Go and check out theMaths department. I'm going to look in Finch's office. Be back here inten minutes. [ROSE] You going to be all right? [MICKEY] Me? Please. Infiltration and investigation? I'm an expert atthis. [MICKEY] Where's the Maths department? [ROSE] Down there, turn left, through the fire doors, on the right. [MICKEY] Thank you. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [DOCTOR] Hello, Sarah Jane. [SARAH] It's you. Oh, Doctor Oh, my God, it's you, isn't it. You'veregenerated. [DOCTOR] Yeah. Half a dozen times since we last met. [SARAH] You look incredible. [DOCTOR] So do you. [SARAH] Huh. I got old. What are you doing here? [DOCTOR] Well, UFO sighting, school gets record results. I couldn'tresist. What about you? [SARAH] The same. I thought you'd died. I waited for you and you didn'tcome back, and I thought you must have died. [DOCTOR] I lived. Everyone else died. [SARAH] What do you mean? [DOCTOR] Everyone died, Sarah. [SARAH] I can't believe it's you. [SARAH] Okay, now I can! [ROSE] Did you hear that? Who's she? [DOCTOR] Rose, Sarah Jane. Sarah Jane, Rose. [SARAH] Hi. Nice to meet you. You can tell you're getting older. Yourassistants are getting younger. [ROSE] I'm not his assistant. [SARAH] No? Get you, tiger. --------------------------------------- (Classroom) [MICKEY] Sorry! Sorry, it was only me. You told meto investigate, so I started looking through some of these cupboardsand all of these fell on me. [ROSE] Oh, my God, they're rats. Dozens of rats. Vacuum packed rats. [DOCTOR] And you decided to scream. [MICKEY] It took me by surprise! [DOCTOR] Like a little girl? [MICKEY] It was dark! I was covered in rats! [DOCTOR] Nine, maybe ten years old. I'm seeing pigtails, frilly skirt. [ROSE] Hello, can we focus? Does anyone notice anything strange aboutthis? Rats in school? [SARAH] Well, obviously they use them in Biology lessons. They dissectthem. Or maybe you haven't reached that bit yet. How old are you? [ROSE] Excuse me, no one dissects rats in school anymore. They haven'tdone that for years. Where are you from, the dark ages? [DOCTOR] Anyway, moving on. Everything started when Mister Fincharrived. We should go and check his office. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [ROSE] I don't mean to be rude or anything, but whoexactly are you? [SARAH] Sarah Jane Smith. I used to travel with the Doctor. [ROSE] Oh. Well, he's never mentioned you. [DOCTOR] Oh, I must've done. Sarah Jane. Mention her all the time. [ROSE] Hold on. Sorry. Never. [SARAH] What, not even once? He didn't mention me even once? [MICKEY] Ho, ho, mate. The missus and the ex. Welcome to every man'sworst nightmare. --------------------------------------- (Outside the Headmaster's office) [DOCTOR] Maybe those rats were food. [ROSE] Food for what? --------------------------------------- (Headmaster's office) [DOCTOR] Rose, you know you used to think all theteachers slept in the school? Well, they do. [MICKEY] No way! --------------------------------------- (School yard) [MICKEY] I am not going back in there. No way. [ROSE] Those were teachers. [DOCTOR] When Finch arrived, he brought with him seven new teachers,four dinner ladies and a nurse. Thirteen. Thirteen big bat people. Comeon. [MICKEY] Come on? You've got to be kidding! [DOCTOR] I need the Tardis. I've got to analyse that oil from thekitchen. [SARAH] I might be able to help you there. I've got something to showyou. --------------------------------------- (Car park) [DOCTOR] K9! Rose Tyler, Mickey Smith, allow me to introduce K9. well,K9 Mark Three to be precise. [ROSE] Why does he look so disco? [DOCTOR] Oi! Listen, in the year five thousand, this was cutting edge.What's happened to him? [SARAH] Oh, one day, he just, nothing. [DOCTOR] Well, didn't you try and get him repaired? [SARAH] Well, it's not like getting parts for a Mini Metro, Beside, thetechnology inside him could rewrite human science. I couldn't show himto anyone. [DOCTOR] Ooh, what's the nasty lady done to you, eh? [ROSE] Look, no offence, but could you two just stop petting for aminute? Never mind the tin dog. We're busy. --------------------------------------- (Coffee shop) [MICKEY] You see, what's impressive is that it's been nearly an hoursince we met her and I still haven't said I told you so. [ROSE] I'm not listening to this. [MICKEY] Although, I have prepared a little I was right dance that I canshow you later. [WOMAN] Two quid, love. [MICKEY] All this time you've been giving it, he's different, when thetruth is, he's just like any other bloke. [ROSE] You don't know what you're talking about. [MICKEY] Maybe not. But if I were you I'd go easy on the chips. --------------------------------------- (Street) [FINCH] Come to me. Come to me. --------------------------------------- (Coffee shop) [SARAH] I thought of you on Christmas Day. ThisChristmas just gone? Great big spaceship overhead. I thought, oh yeah,bet he's up there. [DOCTOR] Right on top of it, yeah. [SARAH] And Rose? [DOCTOR] She was there too. [SARAH] Did I do something wrong, because you never came back for me.You just dumped me. [DOCTOR] I told you. I was called back home and in those days humansweren't allowed. [SARAH] I waited for you. I missed you. [DOCTOR] Oh, you didn't need me. You were getting on with your life. [SARAH] You were my life. You know what the most difficult thing was?Coping with what happens next, or with what doesn't happen next. Youtook me to the furthest reaches of the galaxy, you showed mesupernovas, intergalactic battles, and then you just dropped me back onEarth. How could anything compare to that? [DOCTOR] All those things you saw, do you want me to apologise for that? [SARAH] No, but we get a taste of that splendour and then we have to goback. [DOCTOR] Look at you, you're investigating. You found that school.You're doing what we always did. [SARAH] You could have come back. [DOCTOR] I couldn't. [SARAH] Why not? [SARAH] It wasn't Croydon. Where you dropped me off, that wasn'tCroydon. [DOCTOR] Where was it? [SARAH] Aberdeen. [DOCTOR] Right. That's next to Croydon, isn't it? [DOCTOR] Oh, hey. Now we're in business. [K9] Master. [DOCTOR] He recognises me. [K9] Affirmative. [DOCTOR] Rose, give us the oil. [ROSE] I wouldn't touch it, though. That dinner lady got all scorched. [DOCTOR] I'm no dinner lady. And I don't often say that. [DOCTOR] Here we go. Come on, boy. Here we go. [K9] Oil. Ex ex ex extract. Ana ana analysing. [MICKEY] Listen to him, man. That's a voice. [SARAH] Careful. That's my dog. [K9] Confirmation of analysis. Substance is Krillitane Oil. [DOCTOR] They're Krillitanes. [ROSE] Is that bad? [DOCTOR] Very. Think of how bad things could possibly be, and addanother suitcase full of bad. [SARAH] And what are Krillitanes? [DOCTOR] They're a composite race. Just like your culture is a mixtureof traditions from all sorts of countries, people you've invaded orhave been invaded by. You've got bits of Viking, bits of France, bitsof whatever. The Krillitanes are the same. An amalgam of the racesthey've conquered. But they take physical aspects as well. They cherrypick the best bits from the people they destroy. That's why I didn'trecognise them. The last time I saw Krillitanes, they looked just likeus except they had really long necks. [ROSE] What're they doing here? [DOCTOR] It's the children. They're doing something to the children. --------------------------------------- (Outside the coffee shop) [MICKEY] So what's the deal with the tin dog? [SARAH] The Doctor likes travelling with an entourage. Sometimes they'rehumans, sometimes they're aliens, and sometimes they're tin dogs. Whatabout you? Where do you fit in the picture? [MICKEY] Me? I'm their Man in Havana. I'm the technical support. I'm.Oh, my God. I'm the tin dog. --------------------------------------- (Street) [FINCH] On my command. [ROSE] How many of us have there been travelling with you? [DOCTOR] Does it matter? [ROSE] Yeah, it does, if I'm just the latest in a long line. [DOCTOR] As opposed to what? [ROSE] I thought you and me were. I obviously got it wrong. I've been tothe year five billion, right, but this? Now this is really seeing thefuture. You just leave us behind. Is that what you're going to do tome? [DOCTOR] No. Not to you. [ROSE] But Sarah Jane? You were that close to her once, and now younever even mention her. Why not? [DOCTOR] I don't age. I regenerate. But humans decay. You wither and youdie. Imagine watching that happen to someone who you [ROSE] What, Doctor? [DOCTOR] You can spend the rest of your life with me, but I can't spendthe rest of mine with you. I have to live on. Alone. That's the curseof the Time Lords. [FINCH] Time Lord. [SARAH] Was that a Krillitane? [ROSE] But it didn't even touch her. It just flew off. What did it dothat for? --------------------------------------- (School yard) [DOCTOR] Rose and Sarah, you go to the Maths room. Crack open thosecomputers, I need to see the hardware inside. Here, you might needthis. [DOCTOR] Mickey, surveillance. I want you outside. [MICKEY] Just stand outside? [SARAH] Here, take these you can keep K9 company. [DOCTOR] Don't forget to leave the window open a crack. [MICKEY] But he's metal! [DOCTOR] I didn't mean for him. [ROSE] What're you going to do? [DOCTOR] It's time I had a word with Mister Finch. --------------------------------------- (Swimming pool) [DOCTOR] Who are you? [FINCH] My name is Brother Lassa. And you? [DOCTOR] The Doctor. Since when did Krillitanes have wings? [FINCH] It's been our form for nearly ten generations now. Our ancestorsinvaded Bessan. The people there had some rather lovely wings. Theymade a million widows in one day. Just imagine. [DOCTOR] And now you're shaped human. [FINCH] A personal favourite, that's all. [DOCTOR] And the others? [FINCH] My brothers remain bat form. What you see is a simple morphicillusion. Scratch the surface and the true Krillitane lies beneath. Andwhat of the Time Lords? I always thought of you as such a pompous race.Ancient, dusty senators, so frightened of change and chaos. And ofcourse, they're all but extinct. Only you. The last. [DOCTOR] This plan of yours. What is it? [FINCH] You don't know. [DOCTOR] That's why I'm asking. [FINCH] Well, show me how clever you are. Work it out. [DOCTOR] If I don't like it, then it will stop. [FINCH] Fascinating. Your people were peaceful to the point ofindolence. You seem to be something new. Would you declare war on us,Doctor? [DOCTOR] I'm so old now. I used to have so much mercy. You get onewarning. That was it. [FINCH] But we're not even enemies. Soon you will embrace us. The nexttime we meet, you will join with me. I promise you. --------------------------------------- (Sarah's car) [MICKEY] Surveillance. If you ask me, it's justanother way of saying go sit at the back of the class with the safetyscissors and glitter. That'd be me talking to a metal dog, then. --------------------------------------- (IT classroom) [SARAH] It's not working. [ROSE] Give it to me. [SARAH] Used to work first time in my day. [ROSE] Well, things were a lot simpler back then. [SARAH] Rose, can I give you a bit of advice? [ROSE] I've got a feeling you're about to. [SARAH] I know how intense a relationship with the Doctor can be, and Idon't want you to feel I'm intruding. [ROSE] I don't feel threatened by you, if that's what you mean. [SARAH] Right. Good. Because I'm not interested in picking up where weleft off. [ROSE] No? With the big sad eyes and the robot dog? What else were youdoing last night? [SARAH] I was just saying how hard it was adjusting to life back onEarth. [ROSE] The thing is, when you two met they'd only just got rid ofrationing. No wonder all that space stuff was a bit too much for you. [SARAH] I had no problem with space stuff. I saw things you wouldn'tbelieve. [ROSE] Try me. [SARAH] Mummies. [ROSE] I've met ghosts. [SARAH] Robots. Lots of robots. [ROSE] Slitheen, in Downing Street. [SARAH] Daleks! [ROSE] Met the Emperor. [SARAH] Anti-matter monsters. [ROSE] Gas masked zombies. [SARAH] Real living dinosaurs. [ROSE] Real living werewolf. [SARAH] The Loch Ness Monster! [ROSE] Seriously? Listen to us. It's like me and my mate Shireen. Theonly time we fell out was over a man, and we're arguing over theDoctor. With you, did he do that thing where he'd explain something atlike, ninety miles per hour, and you'd go, what? and he'd look at youlike you'd just dribbled on your shirt? [SARAH] All the time. Does he still stroke bits of the Tardis? [ROSE] Yeah! Yeah, he does. I'm like, do you two want to be alone? [DOCTOR] How's it going? [DOCTOR] What? Listen, I need to find out what's programmed insidethese. [DOCTOR] What? Stop it! --------------------------------------- (Headmaster's office) [FINCH] Brothers, we must initiate the final phase. Get the childreninside and seal the school. Our time has come, my brothers. Today weshall become Gods. --------------------------------------- (School yard) [TANNOY] All pupils to class immediately. And would all members of staffcongregate in the staff room. [MELISSA] Breaktime's finished early. Isn't that fantastic? --------------------------------------- (IT classroom) [ROSE] No, no. This classroom's out of bounds. You've all got to go tothe South Hall. Off you go. South Hall! --------------------------------------- (Staff room) [PARSONS] What is it now, Mister Finch? [FINCH] A slight change in the timetable. We're having an early lunch. --------------------------------------- (IT classroom) [DOCTOR] I can't shift it. [SARAH] I thought the sonic screwdriver could open anything! [DOCTOR] Anything except a deadlock seal. There's got to be somethinginside here. What're they teaching those kids? --------------------------------------- (Headmaster's office) [FINCH] Close the school. --------------------------------------- (IT classroom) [SARAH] You wanted the programme? There it is. [DOCTOR] Some sort of code. [DOCTOR] No. No, that can't be. --------------------------------------- (Main entrance) [KENNY] They've taken them all! [MICKEY] What? [KENNY] They've taken all the children! --------------------------------------- (Sarah's car) [MICKEY] Come on, I need some help. [K9] System restarting. All primary drives functioning. [MICKEY] You're working! Okay, no time to explain. we need to get insidethe school. Do you have like, Idon't know, a lock picking device? [K9] We are in a car. [MICKEY] Maybe a drill attachment? [K9] We are in a car. [MICKEY] Fat lot of good you are. [K9] We are in a car. [MICKEY] Wait a second. We're in a car. (to Kenny) Get back! --------------------------------------- (IT classroom) [DOCTOR] The Skasis Paradigm. They're trying tocrack the Skasis Paradigm. [SARAH] The Skasis what? [DOCTOR] The God maker. The universal theory. Crack that equation andyou've got control of the building blocks of the universe. Time andspace and matter, yours to control. [ROSE] What, and the kids are like a giant computer? [DOCTOR] Yes. And their learning power is being accelerated by the oil.That oil from the kitchens, it works as a, as a conducting agent. Makesthe kids cleverer. [ROSE] But that oil's on the chips. I've been eating them. [DOCTOR] What's fifty nine times thirty five? [ROSE] Two thousand and sixty five. Oh, my God. [SARAH] But why use children? Can't they use adults? [DOCTOR] No, it's got to be children. The God maker needs imagination tocrack it. They're not just using the children's brains to break thecode, they're using their souls. [FINCH] Let the lesson begin. Think of it, Doctor. With the Paradigmsolved, reality becomes clay in our hands. We can shape the universeand improve it. [DOCTOR] Oh yeah? The whole of creation with the face of Mister Finch?Call me old fashioned, but I like things as they are. [FINCH] You act like such a radical, and yet all you want to do ispreserve the old order? Think of the changes that could be made if thispower was used for good. [DOCTOR] What, by someone like you? [FINCH] No, someone like you. The Paradigm gives us power, but you couldgive us wisdom. Become a God at my side. Imagine what you could do.Think of the civilisations you could save. Perganon, Assinta. Your ownpeople, Doctor, standing tall. The Time Lords reborn. [SARAH] Doctor, don't listen to him. [FINCH] And you could be with him throughout eternity. Young, fresh,never wither, never age, never die. Their lives are so fleeting. Somany goodbyes. How lonely you must be, Doctor. Join us. [DOCTOR] I could save everyone. [FINCH] Yes. [DOCTOR] I could stop the war. [SARAH] No. The universe has to move forward. Pain and loss, they defineus as much as happiness or love. Whether it's a world, or arelationship, everything has its time. And everything ends. [DOCTOR] Out! --------------------------------------- (School entrance) [MICKEY] Come on! --------------------------------------- (Staircase) [MICKEY] What is going on? --------------------------------------- (Canteen) [KENNY] Are they my teachers? [DOCTOR] Yeah. Sorry. [FINCH] We need the Doctor alive. As for the others? You can feast. [SARAH] K9! [K9] Suggest you engage running mode, mistress. [DOCTOR] Come on! [DOCTOR] K9, hold them back! [K9] Affirmative, master. Maximum defence mode. [K9] Power supply failing. [FINCH] Forget the shooty dog thing. [K9] Power supply failing. --------------------------------------- (Physics laboratory) [DOCTOR] It's the oil. Krillitane life forms can'thandle the oil. That's it! They've changed their physiology so often,even their own oil is toxic to them. How much was there in thekitchens? [ROSE] Barrels of it. [DOCTOR] Okay, we need to get to the kitchens. Mickey. [MICKEY] What now, hold the coats? [DOCTOR] Get all the children unplugged and out of the school. Now then,bats, bats, bats. How do we fight bats? --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [FINCH] Get after them. --------------------------------------- (Outside the canteen) [K9] Master. [DOCTOR] Come on, boy. Good boy. --------------------------------------- (Classroom) [MICKEY] Okay, listen everyone. We've got to get outof here. --------------------------------------- (Kitchen) [DOCTOR] They've been deadlock sealed. Finch must've done that. I can'topen them. [K9] The vats would not withstand a direct hit from my laser, but mybatteries are failing. [DOCTOR] Right. Everyone out the back door. K9, stay with me. --------------------------------------- (Classroom) [MICKEY] Everyone get out. Now! [MICKEY] Come on, move! Let's go! Let's go! --------------------------------------- (Kitchen) [K9] Capacity for only one shot, Master. For maximum impact, I must bestationed directly beside the vat. [DOCTOR] But you'll be trapped inside. [K9] That is correct. [DOCTOR] I can't let you do that. [K9] No alternative possible, Master. [DOCTOR] Goodbye, old friend. [K9] Goodbye, Master. [DOCTOR] You good dog. [K9] Affirmative. --------------------------------------- (Outside the kitchen) [SARAH] Where's K9? [DOCTOR] We need to run. [SARAH] Where is he? What have you done! --------------------------------------- (Kitchen) [FINCH] When you find him, eat him if you must, butbring me his brain. [FINCH] The little dog with a nasty bite. Not so powerful now, are you? --------------------------------------- (School yard) [MICKEY] Come on, guys! Let's go, let's go! Run! --------------------------------------- (Kitchen) [JACKSON] Burning! [FINCH] You bad dog. [K9] Affirmative. --------------------------------------- (Outside the school) [KENNY] Yes! [MELISSA] Did you have something to do with it? [KENNY] Yeah, I did. [MELISSA] Oh my God. Kenny blew up the school! It was Kenny! [CHILDREN] Yay! Kenny! Kenny! Kenny! Kenny! [DOCTOR] I'm sorry. [SARAH] It's all right. He was just a daft metal dog. It's fine, really. --------------------------------------- (Outside the Tardis) [DOCTOR] Cup of tea? --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [SARAH] You've redecorated. [DOCTOR] Do you like it? [SARAH] Oh, I, I do. Yeah. I preferred it as it was, but er, yeah. It'lldo. [ROSE] I love it. [SARAH] Hey, you what's forty seven times three hundred and sixty nine? [ROSE] No idea. It's gone now. The oil's faded. [SARAH] But you're still clever. More than a match for him. [ROSE] You and me both. Doctor? [DOCTOR] Er, we're about to head off, but you could come with us. [SARAH] No. I can't do this anymore. Besides, I've got a much biggeradventure ahead. Time I stopped waiting for you and found a life of myown. [MICKEY] Can I come? No, not with you, I mean with you. Because I'm notthe tin dog, and Iwant to see what's out there. [SARAH] Oh, go on, Doctor. Sarah Jane Smith, a Mickey Smith. You need aSmith on board. [DOCTOR] Okay then, I could do with a laugh. [MICKEY] Rose, is that okay? [ROSE] (lying) No, great. Why not? [SARAH] Well, I'd better go. [ROSE] What do I do? Do I stay with him? [SARAH] Yes. Some things are worth getting your heart broken for. Findme, if you need to, one day. Find me. --------------------------------------- (Outside the Tardis) [SARAH] It's daft, but I haven't ever thanked youfor that time. And like I said, I wouldn't have missed it for theworld. [DOCTOR] Something to tell the grandkids. [SARAH] Oh, I think it'll be someone else's grandkids now. [DOCTOR] Right. Yes, sorry. I didn't get a chance to ask. You haven't?There hasn't been anyone? You know. [SARAH] Well, there was this one guy. I travelled with him for a while,but he was a tough act to follow. Goodbye, Doctor. [DOCTOR] Oh, it's not goodbye. [SARAH] Do say it. Please. This time. Say it. [DOCTOR] Goodbye, my Sarah Jane. [K9] Mistress. [SARAH] But you were blown up. [K9] The Master rebuilt me. My systems are much improved with newundetectable hyperlink facilities. [SARAH] Oh, he replaced you with a brand new model. [K9] Affirmative. [SARAH] Yeah, he does that. Come on, you. Home. We've got work to do. [K9] Affirmative.

Doctor Who (6 May, 2006; Tenth Doctor) - The Girl in the Fireplace [LOUIS] We are under attack! There are creatures I don't even thinkthey're human. We can't stop them. [REINETTE] The clock is broken. He's coming. [LOUIS] Did you hear what I said? [REINETTE] Listen to me. There is a man coming to Versailles. He haswatched over me my whole life and he will not desert me tonight. [LOUIS] What are you talking about? What man? [REINETTE] The only man, save you, I have ever loved. No, don't looklike that, there's no time. You have your duties. I am your mistress.Go to your queen. [REINETTE] Are you there? Can you hear me? I need you now. You promised.The clock on the mantel is broken. It is time. Doctor! Doctor! --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [MICKEY] It's a spaceship. Brilliant! I got a spaceship on my first go. [ROSE] It looks kind of abandoned. Anyone on board? [DOCTOR] Nah, nothing here. Well, nothing dangerous. Well, not thatdangerous. You know what, I'll just have a quick scan, in case there'sanything dangerous. [ROSE] So, what's the date? How far we gone? [DOCTOR] About three thousand years into your future, give or take. [DOCTOR] Fifty first century. Diagmar Cluster, you're a long way fromhome, Mickey. Two and a half galaxies. [ROSE] Mickey Smith, meet the universe. See anything you like? [MICKEY] It's so realistic! [DOCTOR] Dear me, had some cowboys in here. Got a ton of repair workgoing on. Now that's odd. Look at that. All the warp engines are going.Full capacity. There's enough power running through this ship to puncha hole in the universe, but we're not moving. So where's all that powergoing? [ROSE] Where'd all the crew go? [DOCTOR] Good question. No life readings on board. [ROSE] Well, we're in deep space. They didn't just nip out for a quickfag. [DOCTOR] No, I've checked all the smoking pods. Can you smell that? [ROSE] Yeah, someone's cooking. [MICKEY] Sunday roast, definitely. --------------------------------------- (Fireplace room) [DOCTOR] Well, there's something you don't see in your averagespaceship. Eighteenth century. French. Nice mantle. Not a hologram.It's not even a reproduction. This actually is an eighteenth centuryFrench fireplace. Double sided. There's another room through there. [ROSE] There can't be. That's the outer hull of the ship. Look. [DOCTOR] Hello. [YOUNG REINETTE] Hello. [DOCTOR] What's your name? [YOUNG REINETTE] Reinette. [DOCTOR] Reinette, that's a lovely name. Can you tell me where you areat the moment, Reinette? [YOUNG REINETTE] In my bedroom. [DOCTOR] And where's your bedroom? Where do you live, Reinette? [YOUNG REINETTE] Paris, of course. [DOCTOR] Paris, right! [YOUNG REINETTE] Monsieur, what are you doing in my fireplace? [DOCTOR] Oh, it's just a routine fire check. Can you tell me what yearit is? [YOUNG REINETTE] Of course I can. Seventeen hundred and twenty seven. [DOCTOR] Right, lovely. One of my favourites. August is rubbish though.Stay indoors. Okay, that's all for now. Thanks for your help. Hope youenjoy the rest of the fire. Night, night. [YOUNG REINETTE] Goodnight Monsieur. [MICKEY] You said this was the fifty first century. [DOCTOR] I also said this ship was generating enough power to punch ahole in the universe. I think we just found the hole. Must be aspatio-temporal hyperlink. [MICKEY] What's that? [DOCTOR] No idea. Just made it up. Didn't want to say magic door. [ROSE] And on the other side of the magic door is France in 1727? [DOCTOR] Well, she was speaking French. Right period French, too. [MICKEY] She was speaking English, I heard her. [ROSE] That's the Tardis. Translates for you. [MICKEY] Even French? [ROSE] Yeah. [DOCTOR] Gotcha! [ROSE] Doctor! --------------------------------------- (Reinette's bedroom) [DOCTOR] It's okay. Don't scream. It's me. It's the fireplace man. Look.We were talking just a moment ago. I was in your fireplace. [YOUNG REINETTE] Monsieur, that was weeks ago. That was months. [DOCTOR] Really? Oh. Must be a loose connection. Need to get a man in. [YOUNG REINETTE] Who are you? And what are you doing here? [DOCTOR] Okay, that's scary. [YOUNG REINETTE] You're scared of a broken clock? [DOCTOR] Just a bit scared, yeah. Just a little tiny bit. Because, yousee, if this clock's broken, and it's the only clock in the room, thenwhat's that? [DOCTOR] Because, you see, that's not a clock. You can tell by theresonance. Too big. Six feet, I'd say. The size of a man. [YOUNG REINETTE] What is it? [DOCTOR] Now, let's think. If you were a thing that ticked and you werehiding in someone's bedroom, first thing you do, break the clock. Noone notices the sound of one clock ticking, but two? You might start towonder if you're really alone. Stay on the bed. Right in the middle.Don't put your hands or feet over the edge. [DOCTOR] Reinette (whispers) Don't look round. [DOCTOR] You, stay exactly where you are. Hold still, let me look. [DOCTOR] You've been scanning her brain. What, you've crossed twogalaxies and thousands of years just to scan a child's brain? Whatcould there be in a little girl's mind worth blowing a hole in theuniverse? [YOUNG REINETTE] I don't understand. It wants me? You want me? [DROID] Not yet. You are incomplete. [DOCTOR] Incomplete? What's that mean, incomplete? You can answer her,you can answer me. What do you mean, incomplete? [YOUNG REINETTE] Monsieur, be careful. [DOCTOR] Just a nightmare, Reinette, don't worry about it. Everyone hasnightmares. [DOCTOR] Even monsters from under the bed have nightmares, don't you,monster? [YOUNG REINETTE] What do monsters have nightmares about? [DOCTOR] Me! --------------------------------------- (Fireplace room) [ROSE] Doctor! [MICKEY] Excellent. Ice gun. [DOCTOR] Fire extinguisher. [ROSE] Where did that thing come from? [DOCTOR] Here. [MICKEY] So why is it dressed like that? [DOCTOR] Field trip to France. Some kind of basic camouflage protocol.Nice needlework, shame about the face. [DOCTOR] Oh, you are beautiful! No, really, you are. You're gorgeous!Look at that. Space age clockwork, I love it. I've got chills! Listen,seriously, I mean this from the heart, and, by the way, count those, itwould be a crime, it would be an act of vandalism to disassemble you.But that won't stop me. [DOCTOR] Short range teleport. Can't have got far. Could still be onboard. [ROSE] What is it? [DOCTOR] Don't go looking for it! [ROSE] Where're you going? [DOCTOR] Back in a sec. [MICKEY] He said not to look for it. [ROSE] Yeah, he did. [ROSE] Now you're getting it. --------------------------------------- (Reinette's bedchamber) [DOCTOR] Reinette? Just checking you're okay. [REINETTE] Ahem. [DOCTOR] Oh. Hello. Er, I was just looking for Reinette. This is stillher room, isn't it? I've been away, not sure how long. [MOTHER [OC]] Reinette! We're ready to go. [REINETTE] Go to the carriage, Mother. I will join you there. It iscustomary, I think, to have an imaginary friend only during one'schildhood. You are to be congratulated on your persistence. [DOCTOR] Reinette! Well. Goodness, how you've grown. [REINETTE] And you do not appear to have aged a single day. That istremendously impolite of you. [DOCTOR] Right, yes, sorry. Listen, lovely to catch up, but better beoff, eh? Don't want your mother finding you up here with a strange man,do we? [REINETTE] Strange? How could you be a stranger to me? I've known yousince I was seven years old. [DOCTOR] Yeah, I suppose you have. I came the quick route. [REINETTE] You seem to be flesh and blood, at any rate, but this isabsurd. Reason tells me you cannot be real. [DOCTOR] Oh, you never want to listen to reason [SERVANT [OC]] Mademoiselle! Your mother grows impatient. [REINETTE] A moment! So many questions. So little time. [SERVANT [OC]] Mademoiselle Poisson! [DOCTOR] Poisson? Reinette Poisson? No! No, no, no, no, no way. ReinettePoisson? Later Madame Etoiles? Later still mistress of Louis theFifteenth, uncrowned Queen of France? Actress, artist, musician,dancer, courtesan, fantastic gardener! [SERVANT] Who the hell are you?! [DOCTOR] I'm the Doctor, and I just snogged Madame de Pompadour. Ha, ha! --------------------------------------- (Fireplace room) [DOCTOR] Rose! Mickey! Every time. --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [DOCTOR] Every time, it's rule one. Don't wanderoff. I tell them, I do. Rule one. There could be anything on this ship. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [MICKEY] Are you looking at me? [MICKEY] Look at this. That's an eye in there. That's a real eye. [MICKEY] What is that? What's that in the middle there? Looks like it'swired in. [ROSE] It's a heart, Mickey. It's a human heart. --------------------------------------- (Another corridor) [DOCTOR] Rose? [DOCTOR] Will you stop following me? I'm not your mother. [DOCTOR] So this is where you came from, eh, horsey? --------------------------------------- (Versailles gardens) [REINETTE] Oh, Catherine, you are too wicked. [CATHERINE] Oh, speaking of wicked, I hear Madame de Chateauroux is illand close to death. [REINETTE] Yes. I am devastated. [KATHERINE] Oh, indeed. I myself am frequently inconsolable. The Kingwill therefore be requiring a new mistress. You love the King, ofcourse? [REINETTE] He is the King, and I love him with all my heart. And I lookforward to meeting him. [KATHERINE] Is something wrong, my dear? [REINETTE] Not wrong, no. [KATHERINE] Every woman in Paris knows your ambitions. [REINETTE] Every woman in Paris shares them. [KATHERINE] You know of course that the King is to attend the Yew Treeball? [REINETTE] As am I. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [MICKEY] Maybe it wasn't a real heart. [ROSE] Course it was a real heart. [MICKEY] Is this like normal for you? Is this an average day? [ROSE] Life with the Doctor, Mickey? No more average days. [MICKEY] It's France again. We can see France. [ROSE] I think we're looking through a mirror. [MICKEY] Blimey, look at this guy. Who does he think he is? [DOCTOR] The King of France. [ROSE] Oh, here's trouble. What you been up to? [DOCTOR] Oh, this and that. Became the imaginary friend of a futureFrench aristocrat, picked a fight with a clockwork man. [DOCTOR] Oh, and I met a horse. [MICKEY] What's a horse doing on a spaceship? [DOCTOR] Mickey, what's pre-Revolutionary France doing on a spaceship?Get a little perspective. See these? They're all over the place. Onevery deck. Gateways to history. But not just any old history. [DOCTOR] Hers. Time windows deliberately arranged along the life of oneparticular woman. A spaceship from the fifty first century stalking awoman from the eighteenth. Why? [ROSE] Who is she? [DOCTOR] Jeanne-Antoinette Poisson, known to her friends as Reinette.One of the most accomplished women who ever lived. [ROSE] So has she got plans of being the Queen, then? [DOCTOR] No, he's already got a Queen. She's got plans of being hismistress. [ROSE] Oh, I get it. Camilla. [DOCTOR] I think this is the night they met. The night of the Yew Treeball. In no time at flat, she'll get herself established as hisofficial mistress, with her own rooms at the palace. Even her owntitle. Madame de Pompadour. [ROSE] The Queen must have loved her. [DOCTOR] Oh, she did. They get on very well. [MICKEY] The King's wife and the King's girlfriend? [DOCTOR] France. It's a different planet. --------------------------------------- (Versailles room) [REINETTE] How long have you been standing there? Show yourself! [DOCTOR] Hello, Reinette. Hasn't time flown? [REINETTE] Fireplace man! [MICKEY] What's it doing? [DOCTOR] Switching back on. Melting the ice. [MICKEY] And then what? [DOCTOR] Then it kills everyone in the room. Focuses the mind, doesn'tit? Who are you? Identify yourself. Order it to answer me. [REINETTE] Why should it listen to me? [DOCTOR] I don't know. It did when you were a child. Let's see if you'vestill got it. [REINETTE] Answer his question. Answer any and all questions put to you. [DROID] I am repair droid seven. [DOCTOR] What happened to the ship, then? There was a lot of damage. [DROID] Ion storm. Eighty two percent systems failure. [DOCTOR] That ship hasn't moved in over a year. What's taken you solong? [DROID] We did not have the parts. [MICKEY] Always comes down to that, doesn't it? The parts. [DOCTOR] What's happened to the crew? Where are they? [DROID] We did not have the parts. [DOCTOR] There should have been over fifty people on your ship. Wheredid they go? [DROID] We did not have the parts. [DOCTOR] Fifty people don't just disappear. Where. Oh. You didn't havethe parts, so you used the crew. [MICKEY] The crew? [ROSE] We found a camera with an eye in it, and there was a heart wiredin to machinery. [DOCTOR] It was just doing what it was programmed to. Repairing the shipany way it can, with whatever it could find. No one told it the crewweren't on the menu. What did you say the flight deck smelt of? [ROSE] Someone cooking. [DOCTOR] Flesh plus heat. Barbeque. But what are you doing here? You'veopened up time windows. That takes colossal energy. Why come here? Youcould have gone to your repair yard. Instead you come to eighteenthcentury France? Why? [DROID] One more part is required. [DOCTOR] Then why haven't you taken it? [DROID] She is incomplete. [DOCTOR] What, so, that's the plan, then. Just keep opening up more andmore time windows, scanning her brain, checking to see if she's doneyet. [ROSE] Why her? You've got all of history to choose from. Whyspecifically her? [DROID] We are the same. [REINETTE] We are not the same. We are in no sense the same. [DROID] We are the same. [REINETTE] Get out of here. Get out of here this instant! [DOCTOR] Reinette, no. [DOCTOR] It's back on the ship. Rose, take Mickey and Arthur. Get afterit. Follow it. Don't approach it, just watch what it does. [ROSE] Arthur? [DOCTOR] Good name for a horse. [ROSE] No, you're not keeping the horse. [DOCTOR] I let you keep Mickey. Now go! Go! Go! [DOCTOR] Reinette, you're going to have to trust me. I need to find outwhat they're looking for. There's only one way I can do that. It won'thurt a bit. [REINETTE] Fireplace man, you are inside my mind. [DOCTOR] Oh dear, Reinette. You've had some cowboys in here. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [MICKEY] So, that Doctor, eh? [ROSE] What are you talking about? [MICKEY] Well. Madame de Pompadour. Sarah Jane Smith. Cleopatra. [ROSE] Cleopatra. He mentioned her once. [MICKEY] Yeah, but he called her Cleo. [ROSE] Mickey! --------------------------------------- (Versailles room) [REINETTE] You are in my memories. You walk amongthem. [DOCTOR] If there's anything you don't want me to see, just imagine adoor and close it. I won't look. Oh, actually there's a door justthere. You might want to cl. Oh, actually, several. [REINETTE] To walk among the memories of another living soul. Do youever get used to this? [DOCTOR] I don't make a habit of it. [REINETTE] How can you resist? [DOCTOR] What age are you? [REINETTE] So impertinent a question so early in the conversation. Howpromising. [DOCTOR] No, not my question, theirs. You're twenty three and for somereason, that means you're not old enough. Sorry, you might find oldmemories reawakening. Side effect. [REINETTE] Oh, such a lonely childhood. [DOCTOR] It'll pass. Stay with me. [REINETTE] Oh, Doctor. So lonely. So very, very alone. [DOCTOR] What do you mean, alone? You've never been alone in your life.When did you start calling me Doctor? [REINETTE] Such a lonely little boy. Lonely then and lonelier now. Howcan you bear it? [DOCTOR] How did you do that? [REINETTE] A door, once opened, can be stepped through in eitherdirection. Oh, Doctor. My lonely Doctor. Dance with me. [DOCTOR] I can't. [REINETTE] Dance with me. [DOCTOR] This is the night you dance with the King. [REINETTE] Then first, I shall make him jealous. [DOCTOR] I can't. [REINETTE] Doctor. Doctor who? It's more than just a secret, isn't it? [DOCTOR] What did you see? [REINETTE] That there comes a time, Time Lord, when every lonely littleboy must learn how to dance. --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [ROSE] What's going on? Doctor? [MICKEY] Rose? They're going to chop us up, just like the crew. They'regoing to chop us up and stick us all over their stupid spaceship. Andwhere's the Doctor? Where's the precious Doctor now? He's been gone forflipping hours, that's where he is! [DROID] You are compatible. [ROSE] Well, you might want to think about that. You really, really,might, because me and Mickey, we didn't come here alone. Oh no. Andtrust me, you wouldn't want to mess with our designated driver. [ROSE] Ever heard of the Daleks? Remember them? They had a name for ourfriend. They had myths about him, and a name. They called him the [DOCTOR [OC]] I could've danced all night, I could've danced all night [ROSE] They called him the. They called him the, the [DOCTOR] And still have begged for more. I could've spread my wings anddone a thou. Have you met the French? My god, they know how to party. [ROSE] Oh, look at what the cat dragged in. The Oncoming Storm. [DOCTOR] Oh, you sound just like your mother. [ROSE] What've you been doing? Where've you been? [DOCTOR] Well, among other things, I think just invented the bananadaiquiri a few centuries early. Do you know, they've never even seen abanana before. Always take a banana to a party, Rose. Bananas are good.Oh ho, ho, ho, ho, brilliant. It's you. You're my favourite, you are.You are the best! Do you know why? Because you're so thick. You'reMister Thick Thick Thickity Thick Face from Thicktown, Thickania. Andso's your dad. Do you know what they were scanning Reinette's brainfor? Her milometer. They want to know how old she is. Know why? Becausethis ship is thirty seven years old, and they think that when Reinetteis thirty seven, when she's complete, then her brain will becompatible. So, that's what you're missing, isn't it, hmm? Commandcircuit. Your computer. Your ship needs a brain. And for some reason,God knows what, only the brain of Madame de Pompadour will do. [DROID] The brain is compatible. [DOCTOR] Compatible? If you believe that, you probably believe this is aglass of wine. [DOCTOR] Multigrain anti-oil. If it moves, it doesn't. [DOCTOR] Right, you two, that's enough lying about. Time we got the restof the ship turned off. [MICKEY] Are those things safe? [DOCTOR] Yeah. Safe. Safe and thick, way I like them. Okay. All the timewindows are controlled from here. I need to close them all down. Zeusplugs. Where are my Zeus plugs? I had them a minute ago. I was usingthem as castanets. [ROSE] Why didn't they just open a time window to when she was thirtyseven? [DOCTOR] With the amount of damage to these circuits, they did well tohit the right century. Trial and error after that. The windows aren'tclosing. Why won't they close? [ROSE] What's that? [DOCTOR] I don't know. Incoming message? [MICKEY] From who? [DOCTOR] Report from the field. One of them must still be out there withReinette. That's why I can't close the windows. There's an override. [DOCTOR] Well, that was a bit clever. [DOCTOR] Right. Many things about this are not good. Message from one ofyour little friends? Anything interesting? [DROID] She is complete. It begins. [ROSE] What's happening? [DOCTOR] One of them must have found the right time window. Now it'stime to send in the troops. And this time they're bringing back herhead. --------------------------------------- (Versailles music room) [ROSE] Madame de Pompadour. Please, don't scream or anything. We haven'tgot a lot of time. I've come to warn you that they'll be here in fiveyears. [REINETTE] Five years? [ROSE] Some time after your thirty seventh birthday. I er, I can't giveyou an exact date. It's a bit random. But they're coming. It's going tohappen. In a way, for us, it's already happening. I'm sorry, it's hardto explain. The Doctor does this better. [REINETTE] Then be exact, and I will be attentive. [ROSE] There isn't time. [REINETTE] There are five years. [ROSE] For you. I haven't got five minutes. [REINETTE] Then also be concise. [ROSE] Er, there's, say, a vessel, a ship, a sort of sky ship, and it'sfull of, well, you. Different bits of your life in different rooms, alljumbled up. I told you it was complicated. Sorry. [REINETTE] There is a vessel in your world where the days of my life arepressed together like the chapters of a book, so that he may step fromone to the other without increase of age while I, weary traveller, mustalways take the slower path. [ROSE] He was right about you. [REINETTE] So, in five years these creatures will return. What can bedone? [ROSE] The Doctor says keep them talking. They're kind of programmed torespond to you now. You won't be able to stop them, but you might beable to delay them a bit. [REINETTE] Until? [ROSE] Until the Doctor can get there. [REINETTE] He's coming, then? [ROSE] He promises. [REINETTE] But he cannot make his promises in person? [ROSE] He'll be there when you need him. That's the way it's got to be. [REINETTE] It's the way it's always been. The monsters and the Doctor.It seems you cannot have one without the other. [ROSE] Tell me about it. The thing is, you weren't supposed to haveeither. Those creatures are messing with history. None of this was eversupposed to happen to you. [REINETTE] Supposed to happen? What does that mean? It happened, child,and I would not have it any other way. One may tolerate a world ofdemons for the sake of an angel. [MICKEY [OC]] Rose? Rose? --------------------------------------- (Versailles corridor) [MICKEY] Rose! The time window where she's thirty seven. We found it.Right under our noses. [ROSE] No, you can't go in there, the Doctor will go mad-- --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [REINETTE] So, this is his world. [REINETTE] What was that? [MICKEY] The time window. The Doctor fixed an audio link. [REINETTE] Those screams. Is that my future? [ROSE] Yeah. I'm sorry. [REINETTE] Then I must take the slower path. [REINETTE [OC]] Are you there? Can you hear me? I need you now. Youpromised. The clock on the mantel is broken. It is time. [REINETTE] That's my voice. [MICKEY] Rose, come on. We've got to go. There's, there's a problem. [ROSE] Give me a moment. [ROSE] Are you okay? [REINETTE] No, I'm very afraid. But you and I both know, don't we, Rose,the Doctor is worth the monsters. [REINETTE [OC]] Doctor! Doctor! --------------------------------------- (Versailles bedchamber) [REINETTE] Doctor! [LOUIS] We must go. No one is coming to help us. [DROID] You are complete. You will come. --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [ROSE] You found it, then? [DOCTOR] They knew I was coming. They blocked it off. --------------------------------------- (Versailles corridor) [REINETTE] Where are we going? [DROID] The teleport has limited range. We must have proximity to thetime portal. [REINETTE] Your words mean nothing. You are nothing. --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [ROSE] I don't get it. How come they got in there? [DOCTOR] They teleported. You saw them. As long as the ship and theballroom are linked, their short range teleports will do the trick. [ROSE] Well, we'll go in the Tardis! [DOCTOR] We can't use the Tardis. We're part of events now. [MICKEY] Well, can't we just smash through? [DOCTOR] Hyperplex this side, plate glass the other. We need a truck. [MICKEY] We don't have a truck. [DOCTOR] I know we don't have a truck! [ROSE] Well, we've got to try something. [DOCTOR] No. Smash the glass, smash the time window. There'd be no wayback. [REINETTE [on screen]] Could everyone just calm down? Please. --------------------------------------- (Ballroom) [REINETTE] Such a commotion. Such distressing noise. Kindly rememberthat this is Versailles. This is the Royal Court, and we are French. Ihave made a decision. And my decision is no, I shall not be going withyou today. I have seen your world, and I have no desire to set footthere again. [DROID] We do not require your feet. [REINETTE] You think I fear you, but I do not fear you even now. You aremerely the nightmare of my childhood. The monster from under my bed.And if my nightmare can return to plague me, then rest assured, so willyours. [DOCTOR] Madame de Pompadour. You look younger every day. [LOUIS] What the hell is going on? [REINETTE] Oh. This is my lover, the King of France. [DOCTOR] Yeah? Well, I'm the Lord of Time, and I'm here to fix theclock. [DOCTOR] Forget it. It's over. For you and for me. Talk about sevenyears bad luck. Try three thousand. --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [MICKEY] What happened? Where did the time windowgo? How's he going to get back? --------------------------------------- (Ballroom) [DOCTOR] The link with the ship is broken. No wayback. You don't have the parts. How many ticks left in that clockworkheart, huh? A day? An hour? It's over. Accept that. I'm not winding youup. [DOCTOR] You all right? [REINETTE] What's happened to them? [DOCTOR] They've stopped. They have no purpose now. --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [MICKEY] We can't fly the Tardis without him. How'she going to get back? --------------------------------------- (Versailles) [REINETTE] You know all their names, don't you? I saw that in your mind.The name of every star. [DOCTOR] What's in a name? Names are just titles. Titles don't tell youanything. [REINETTE] Like the Doctor. [DOCTOR] Like Madame de Pompadour. [REINETTE] I have often wished to see those stars a little closer. Justas you have, I think. [DOCTOR] From time to time. [REINETTE] In saving me, you trapped yourself. Did you know that wouldhappen? [DOCTOR] Mmm. Pretty much. [REINETTE] Yet, still you came. [DOCTOR] Yeah, I did, didn't I? Catch me doing that again. [REINETTE] There were many doors between my world and yours. Can you notuse one of the others? [DOCTOR] When the mirror broke, the shock would have severed all thelinks with the ship. There'll be a few more broken mirrors and torntapestries around here, I'm afraid, wherever there was a time window.I'll, I'll pay for any damage. Er, that's a thought, I'm going to needmoney. I was always a bit vague about money. Where do you get money? [REINETTE] So, here you are, my lonely angel, stuck on the slow pathwith me. [DOCTOR] Yep, the slow path. Here's to the slow path. [REINETTE] It's a pity. I think I would've enjoyed the slow path. [DOCTOR] Well, I'm not going anywhere. [REINETTE] Oh, aren't you? Take my hand. --------------------------------------- (Versailles bedchamber) [REINETTE] It's not a copy, it's the original. I hadit moved here and was exact in every detail. [DOCTOR] The fireplace. The fireplace from your bedroom. When did you dothis? [REINETTE] Many years ago, in the hope that a door once opened, maysomeday open again. One never quite knows when one needs one's Doctor.It appears undamaged. Do you think it will still work? [DOCTOR] You broke the bond with the ship when you moved it, which meansit was offline when the mirror broke. That's what saved it. But thelink is basically physical, and it's still physically here. Which mightjust mean, if I'm lucky. If I'm very, very, very, very, very, verylucky. [DOCTOR] Ah ha! [REINETTE] What? [DOCTOR] Loose connection. [DOCTOR] Need to get a man in. [DOCTOR] Wish me luck! [REINETTE] No. --------------------------------------- (Fireplace room) [DOCTOR] Madame de Pompadour! Still want to see those stars? [REINETTE] More than anything. [DOCTOR] Give me two minutes. Pack a bag. [REINETTE] Am I going somewhere? [DOCTOR] Go to the window. Pick a star, any star. --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [DOCTOR] How long did you wait? [ROSE] Five and a half hours. [DOCTOR] Great. Always wait five and a half hours. [ROSE] Where've you been? [DOCTOR] Explain later. Into the Tardis. Be with you in a sec. --------------------------------------- (Fireplace room) [DOCTOR] Reinette? You there, Reinette? --------------------------------------- (Palace of Versailles) [DOCTOR] Reinette? Oh, hello. [LOUIS] You just missed her. She'll be in Paris by six. [DOCTOR] Ah. [LOUIS] Good Lord. She was right. She said you never looked a day older.So many years since I saw you last, but not a day of it on your face. [LOUIS] She spoke of you many times. Often wished you'd visit again. Youknow how women are. [LOUIS] There she goes. [LOUIS] Leaving Versailles for the last time. Only forty three when shedied. Too young. Too young. Illness took her in the end. She always didwork too hard. What does she say? [LOUIS] Of course. Quite right. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [ROSE] Why her? Why did they think they could repairthe ship with the head of Madame de Pompadour? [DOCTOR] We'll probably never know. There was massive damage in thecomputer memory banks. It probably got confused. The Tardis can closedown the time windows now the droids are gone. Should stop it causingany more trouble. [ROSE] Are you all right? [DOCTOR] I'm always all right. [MICKEY] Come on, Rose. It's time you showed me around the rest of thisplace. [REINETTE [OC]] My dear Doctor. The path has never seemed more slow, andyet I fear I am nearing its end. Reason tells me that you and I areunlikely to meet again, but I think I shall not listen to reason. Ihave seen the world inside your head, and know that all things arepossible. Hurry though, my love. My days grow shorter now, and I am sovery weak. God speed, my lonely angel.

Doctor Who (13 May, 2006; Tenth Doctor) - Rise of the Cybermen [KENDRICK] The prototype has passed every test, sir. It's working. [LUMIC] I hardly think working is the correct word. [LUMIC] That would apply only to machines. [KENDRICK] I'm sorry. I should say, it's alive. [LUMIC] Can it hear me? [KENDRICK] It might still be in shock. Bear in mind the brain has beenwelded to the exoskeleton. [LUMIC] Skin of metal and a body that will never age or die. I envy it.Do you know me? Answer. Do you know me? [CYBERMAN] You are John Lumic. [LUMIC] My child. Mark this day, Doctor Kendrick. We are blessed. [KENDRICK] Well, it's not quite over yet, sir. We need Geneva'sapproval. Technically, this is a new form of life, and that contravenesthe Bio-convention. They need to ratify this. [LUMIC] And they will refuse me. [KENDRICK] Nonetheless, we need to tell them. [LUMIC] And if I don't? [KENDRICK] Well then, I'm sorry, sir, but it's my duty. I shall have toinform them. [LUMIC] And how will you do that from beyond the grave? [KENDRICK] I don't quite understand. [LUMIC] Kill him. [LUMIC] Captain? [CAPTAIN [OC]] Yes, sir. [LUMIC] Inform all staff. We have a new destination. Set sail for GreatBritain! --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] And that weird munchkin lady with the bigeyes? Do you remember? the way she looked at you! And then she opensher mouth and fire comes out! [ROSE] I thought I was going to get frazzled! [DOCTOR] Yeah. One minute she's standing there, and the next minuteroar! [MICKEY] Yeah. where was that, then? What happened? [DOCTOR] Oh, it was on this er, this er planet thing. Asteroid. It's along story, you had to be there. Er, what're you doing that for? [MICKEY] Because you told me to. [DOCTOR] When was that? [MICKEY] About half an hour ago [DOCTOR] Er, you can let go now. [MICKEY] Well, how long's it been since I could've stopped? [DOCTOR] Ten minutes? Twenty? Twenty nine? [MICKEY] You just forgot me! [DOCTOR] No, no, no. I was just, I was, I was calibrating. I was just.No, I know exactly what I'm doing. [ROSE] What's happened? [DOCTOR] The time vortex is gone. That's impossible. It's just gone.Brace yourself! We're going to crash! [DOCTOR] Everyone all right? Rose? Mickey? [MICKEY] I'm fine. I'm okay. Sorry. Yeah. [DOCTOR] She's dead. The Tardis is dead. [ROSE] You can fix it? [DOCTOR] There's nothing to fix. She's perished. The last Tardis in theuniverse. Extinct. [ROSE] We can get help, yeah? [DOCTOR] Where from? [ROSE] Well, we've landed. We've got to be somewhere. [DOCTOR] We fell out of the vortex, through the void, into nothingness.We're in some sort of no place. The silent realm. The lost dimension. [MICKEY] Otherwise known as London. --------------------------------------- (Lambeth Pier) [MICKEY] London, England, Earth. Hold on. [MICKEY] First of February this year not exactly far flung, is it? [DOCTOR] So this is London. [MICKEY] Yep. [DOCTOR] Your city. [MICKEY] That's the one. [DOCTOR] Just as we left it. [MICKEY] Bang on. [DOCTOR] And that includes the Zeppelins? [MICKEY] What the hell? [ROSE] That's beautiful. [MICKEY] Okay, so it's London with a big international Zeppelinfestival. [DOCTOR] This is not your world. [MICKEY] But if the date's the same, it's parallel, right? Am I right?Like a parallel Earth where they've got Zeppelins. Am I right? I'mright, aren't I? [DOCTOR] Must be. [ROSE] So, a parallel world where [MICKEY] Oh, come on. You've seen it on films. Like an alternative toour world where everything's the same but a little bit different, like,I don't know, traffic lights are blue, Tony Blair never got elected. [ROSE] And he's still alive. [ROSE] A parallel world and my dad's still alive. [DOCTOR] Don't look at it, Rose. Don't even think about it. This is notyour world. [ROSE] But he's my dad and [PETE [advert]] Trust me on this. [ROSE] Well, that's weird. But he's real. [PETE [advert]] Trust me on this. [ROSE] He's a success. He was always planning these daft little schemes.Health food, drinks and stuff. Everyone said they were useless. But hedid it. [DOCTOR] Rose, if you've ever trusted me, then listen to me now. Stoplooking at it. Your father's dead. He died when you were six monthsold.

[CRANE [on screen]] Very good, sir. --------------------------------------- (Lorry cab) [CRANE] I shall go on a recruitment drive. Back her up. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] I told you to keep an eye on her. [MICKEY] She's all right. [DOCTOR] She goes wandering off. Parallel world, it's like a gingerbreadhouse. All those temptations calling out. [MICKEY] Oh, so it's just Rose, then? Nothing out there to tempt me? [DOCTOR] Well, I don't know, I can't worry about everything. If I couldjust get this thing to [MICKEY] Did that help? [DOCTOR] Yes. [MICKEY] Did that hurt? [DOCTOR] Yes. Ow. --------------------------------------- (Embankment) [NEWSREADER [on phone]] And it's good news for Great Britain as JohnLumic returns to the country of his birth. Mister Lumic, the inventorof high content metal, has denied allegations of ill health. [LUMIC [on phone]] We're all flesh and blood, but the brain is whatmakes us human. And my mind is more creative than ever. [NEWSREADER [on phone]] With shares in Cybus Industries doubling inprice, Mister Lumic is [NEWSREADER [on phone]] In other news, the Torchwood Institute publisheda study claiming that --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] We're not meant to be here. The Tardisdraws it's power from the universe, but it's the wrong universe. It'slike diesel in a petrol engine. [MICKEY] But I've seen it in comics. People go hopping from onealternative world to another. It's easy. [DOCTOR] Not in the real world. It used to be easy. When the Time Lordskept their eye on everything, you could hop between realities, home intime for tea. Then they died, and took it all with them. The walls ofreality closed, the worlds were sealed. Everything became that bit lesskind. [MICKEY] Then how did we get here? [DOCTOR] I don't know. Accident? Should've been impossible. Now we'retrapped. What's that? [MICKEY] What? [DOCTOR] That, there. Is that a reflection? It's a light! Is it? Is thata light? I think that's a light. That's all we need. We've got power!Mickey, we've got power! Ha! --------------------------------------- (Waste ground) [CRANE] Gentlemen! Gentlemen! I beg your attention. Christmas has comeearly, so come and get it. (The back of the lorry is opened and aladder is lowered. Most of the trailer interior is behind plasticsheeting.) [CRANE] Oh, smell that, comrades. Burgers and chips. Sausage and beans.Pork, chicken, and hot, sweet tea. All for free. [JAKE] Don't go. [MORRIS] But there's food! [CRANE] All you can eat, free of charge. Don't just stand there. Fillyour faces with pasties and [JAKE] He's lying. [MORRIS] It's easy for you to say. When did you last starve? [JAKE] All those people disappearing off the streets. It's been going onfor months. It's them. They're taking you away. [CRANE] Tomato soup. [MORRIS] What for? [JAKE] Experiments. [CRANE] But hurry, now. [MORRIS] No, I'm so hungry. [CRANE] So come and get it while it's hot. That's it, kind sir. Get inthere and fill your face. [CRANE] Feast yourself, brother. Feast yourself. [CRANE] Take them away. [MORRIS] No! Help! --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] It's alive! [MICKEY] What is it? [DOCTOR] It's nothing. It's tiny. One of those insignificant littlepower cells that no one ever bothers about, and it's clinging ontolife, with one little ounce of reality tucked away inside. [MICKEY] Enough to get us home? [DOCTOR] Not yet. I need to charge it up. [MICKEY] We could go outside and lash it up to the National Grid. [DOCTOR] Wrong sort of energy. It's got to come from our universe. [MICKEY] But we don't have anything. [DOCTOR] There's me. [DOCTOR] I just gave away ten years of my life. Worth every second. [MICKEY] It's going out. Is that okay? [DOCTOR] It's on a recharging cycle. It'll loop round, power back up andbe ready to take us home in, oo, twenty four hours? [MICKEY] So that gives us twenty four hours on a parallel world? [DOCTOR] Shore leave. As long as we keep our heads down. Easy. Noproblem. Let's go and tell her. --------------------------------------- (Embankment) [DOCTOR] There you are. You all right? No applause. I fixed it. Twentyfour hours, then we're flying back to reality. What is it? [ROSE] My phone connected. There's this Cybus Network. It finds yourphone. It gave me Internet access. [DOCTOR] Rose, whatever it says, this is the wrong world. [ROSE] I don't exist. [DOCTOR] What do you mean? [ROSE] There's no Rose Tyler. I was never born. There's Pete, my dad,and Jackie. He still married mum but they never had kids. [DOCTOR] Give me that phone. [ROSE] They're rich. They've got a house and cars, and everything theywant. But they haven't got me. I've got to see him. [DOCTOR] You can't. [ROSE] I just want to see him. [DOCTOR] I can't let you. [ROSE] You just said twenty four hours! [DOCTOR] You can't become their daughter, that's not the way it works.Mickey, tell her. [MICKEY] Twenty four hours, yeah? [DOCTOR] Where're you going? [MICKEY] Well, I can do what I want. [ROSE] I've got the address and everything. [DOCTOR] Stay where you are, both of you. Rose, come back here! Mickey,come back here right now! [ROSE] I just want to see him. [MICKEY] Yeah, I've got things to see and all. [DOCTOR] Like what? [MICKEY] Well, you don't know anything about me, do you? It's alwaysabout Rose. I'm just a spare part. [ROSE] I'm sorry. I've got to go. [MICKEY] Go on, then. There's no choice, is there? You can only chaseafter one of us. It's never going to be me, is it? [DOCTOR] Back here, twenty four hours! [MICKEY] Yeah. If I haven't found something better. --------------------------------------- (Airstrip) [PRESIDENT] Mister Tyler. What's the matter couldn't wait until tonight? [PETE] Mister President. Honoured. I'm on the fast track program. CybusIndustries have bought up my company, so I'm part of the firm now. [PRESIDENT] Some people say they've bought my Government. [PETE] I've never heard anybody say that. Never. You can trust me onthis. [PRESIDENT] I tried your drink, that Vitex stuff. It tastes like pop. [PETE] Well, it is pop. [PRESIDENT] You made money by selling a health food drink to a sickworld. Not quite the ordinary Joe you appear to be, are you? He doeslike to keep us waiting. But tell me. You've had a chance to observeJohn Lumic more than most. What's your opinion? [PETE] He's very sharp, I'd say. Sharp as ever. Very clever man.Brilliant, in fact. [PRESIDENT] Then you don't think he's insane? [PETE] That's not the word I would've used, no. [PRESIDENT] I see. --------------------------------------- (Street) [MICKEY] Am I all right to get past? [SOLDIER] Yeah. No bother. Curfew doesn't start till ten. [MICKEY] There's a curfew? [SOLDIER] Course there is. Where you been living, mate? Up there withthe toffs? [MICKEY] I wish. See you. --------------------------------------- (Street 2) [ROSE] Mickey's mum just couldn't cope. His dad hung around for a while,but then he just sort of wandered off. He was brought up by his gran.She was such a great woman. God, she used to slap him! And then shedied. She tripped and fell down the stairs. It's about five years agonow. I was still in school. [DOCTOR] I never knew. [ROSE] Well, you never asked. [DOCTOR] You never said. [ROSE] That's Mickey. I suppose I, we just take him for granted. Do youthink she's still alive, his gran? [DOCTOR] Could be. Like I said, parallel world, gingerbread house. Weneed to get out of here as fast as we can. [ROSE] What're they all doing? [DOCTOR] They've stopped. [DOCTOR] It's the earpieces. Like Bluetooth attachments, but everyone'sconnected together. [ROSE] It's on my phone. It's automatic, look. It's downloading. Is thiswhat they're all getting? News, international news, sports, weather. [DOCTOR] They get it direct. Downloaded right into their heads. [ROSE] TV schedules, lottery numbers. [DOCTOR] Everyone shares the same information. A daily downloadpublished by Cybus Industries. [DOCTOR] You lot, you're obsessed. You'd do anything for the latestupgrade. [ROSE] Oi, not my lot. Different world, remember. [DOCTOR] It's not so far off your world. This place is only parallel.Oh, look at that. Cybus Industries, owners of just about every companyin Britain, including Vitex. Mister Pete Tyler's very well connected.Oh, okay. I give up. Let's go and see him. --------------------------------------- (Waterton Street SE15) [RITA ANNE [OC]] Who's that there? [RITA ANNE] Who is it? I know you're there. Shame on you, tricking anold lady. I've got nothing worth stealing. And don't think I'm going todisappear! You're not going to take me. [MICKEY] Hi. [RITA ANNE] Is that you? [MICKEY] It's me. I came home. [RITA ANNE] Ricky? [MICKEY] It's Mickey. [RITA ANNE] I know my own grandson's name. It's Ricky. Now, come here. [MICKEY] Okay, I'm Ricky. Of course I am. Ricky, that's me. [MICKEY] Ow! [RITA ANNE] You stupid boy. Where have you been? [MICKEY] Ow! Stop hitting me! [RITA ANNE] It's been days and days! I keep hearing all these stories.People disappearing off the streets. There's nothing official on thedownload but there're all these rumours, and, and whispers. I thoughtthat God had disappeared you! [MICKEY] That carpet on the stairs, I told you to get it fixed. You'regoing to fall and break your neck. [RITA ANNE] Well, you get it fixed for me. [MICKEY] I should have done way back. I guess I'm just kind of useless. [RITA ANNE] Now, I never said that. [MICKEY] I am, though. And I'm sorry, gran. I'm so sorry. [RITA ANNE] Don't talk like that. Do you know what you need? A nice sitdown and a cup of tea. You got time? [MICKEY] For you, I've got all the time in the world. [RITA ANNE] Oh, you say that, but it's all talk. It's those new friendsof yours. I don't trust them. [MICKEY] What friends are they? [RITA ANNE] Don't pretend you don't know. You've been seeing them.Missus Chan told me. Driving about all helter skelter in that van. [MICKEY] What van's that, then? [RITA ANNE] You know full well! Don't play games with me. [RITA ANNE] Get inside. [JAKE] I've been looking for you everywhere! [RITA ANNE] Ricky! Ricky! --------------------------------------- (Van) [JAKE] Ricky, you were the one who told us you don'tcontact your family because it puts them in danger. [MICKEY] Yeah. Ricky said that. Course I did, just testing. [JAKE] I saw them. I taped them. They went round Blackfriars gatheringup the homeless like the child catcher. They must've took four dozen. [MOORE] The vans were hired out to a company called InternationalElectromatics. But I did a protocol search. Turns out that's a dummycompany established by guess who? [MICKEY] I don't know. Who? [MOORE + JAKE] Cybus Industries! [JAKE] Well, now we've got evidence. [MOORE] Bad news is, they've arrested Thin Jimmy. So that just leavesyou. [MICKEY] Leaves me what? [JAKE] The Number One. Top of the list. London's Most Wanted. [MICKEY] Okay, cool. Say that again? --------------------------------------- (Lumic's Zeppelin) [LUMIC] The most precious thing on this Earth is the human brain, andyet we allow it to die. But now Cybus Industries has perfected a way ofsustaining the brain indefinitely within a cradle of copyrightedchemicals. And the latest advances in synapse research allowscyberkinetic impulses to be bonded onto a metal exoskeleton. This isthe ultimate upgrade. Our greatest step into cyberspace. [PRESIDENT] I'm sorry. Could we stop it there? I don't need the pitch. Ithink we all know what this ultimate upgrade entails. And I'm here totell you, John, the answer is no. My government does not give youpermission. And I think no government ever will. [LUMIC] I prepared a paper for the Ethical Committee. [PRESIDENT] Oh, come on. It's not just unethical. It's obscene. [LUMIC] Mister President, if I might make a personal plea. I am dying,sir. [PRESIDENT] I'm aware of that. And I'm very sorry. [LUMIC] Without this project, you have condemned me. My inventions haveadvanced this whole planet. Would you have all that perish? [PRESIDENT] You're a fine businessman, John, but you're not God. I'mreally very sorry, but I think we should end it there. Mister Tyler,I'll see you tonight. I think we could all do with a drink. MisterLumic. [PETE] Still, it's not the only country in the world. There's always NewGermany. [LUMIC] This is the home land. My birthplace. You may leave. [PETE] Thank you, sir. [LUMIC] Mister Crane? [CRANE [on screen]] Ready and waiting, sir. [LUMIC] Did the override work? [CRANE [on screen]] Well, needs a bit of fine tuning. We weren't exactlydelicate, given the rush, but --------------------------------------- (Control room) [CRANE] Yeah, yeah. It's all working. I've beentesting the system, sir. [CRANE] They've grafted on a treat, these have. Given a littlepersuasion. If you care to observe, sir. [CRANE] And turn to the right. And back to the left. [LUMIC [on screen]] Are you having fun, Mister Crane? [CRANE] Oh, no, no, not at all, sir no. It's just, well, it'sirresistible. [LUMIC [on screen]] Then resist, and start the upgrade. [CRANE] Did we get permission? [LUMIC] I am governed by greater laws, old friend. The right of a man tosurvive. Now begin! [CRANE] And turn to the left. Forward march. [CRANE] Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Let's cover up that noise. Er, giveus track number nineteen. --------------------------------------- (Street) [JAKE] There's a light on. There's someone inside the base. MissisMoore, we've got visitors. [JAKE] One, two, three, go! --------------------------------------- (Base) [RICKY] What the hell are you doing? [JAKE] What're you doing there? [RICKY] What am I doing here? What am I doing there? --------------------------------------- (Outside the Tyler House) [DOCTOR] They've got visitors. [ROSE] February the first. Mum's birthday. Even in a parallel universe,she still loves a party. [DOCTOR] Well, given Pete Tyler's guest list, I wouldn't mind a look.And there is one guaranteed way of getting inside. [ROSE] Psychic paper. [DOCTOR] Who do you want to be? --------------------------------------- (Tyler house) [ROSE] We could have been anyone. [DOCTOR] Got us in, didn't it? [ROSE] You're in charge of the psychic paper. We could've been guests.Celebrities. Sir Doctor, Dame Rose. We end up serving. Did enough ofthis back home. [DOCTOR] If you want to know what's going on, work in the kitchens.According to Lucy, that man over there [ROSE] Who's Lucy? [DOCTOR] She's carrying the salmon pinwheels. [ROSE] Oh, that's Lucy, is it? [DOCTOR] Yeah. Lucy says, that is the President of Great Britain. [ROSE] What, there's a President, not a Prime Minister? [DOCTOR] Seems so. [ROSE] Or maybe Lucy's just a bit thick. [PETE] Excuse me! Thank you very much. Thank you if I could just haveyour attention, please? [MAN] Pete! Go on, Pete! [PETE] Thank you very much! [MAN] It's about time you did some work. [MAN 2] I thought you liked them young. [PETE] Um, I'd just like to say thank you to you all, for coming onthis, this very special occasion. My wife's thirty ninth. [MAN] Don't believe that one. [PETE] Trust me on this. And so, without any further ado, here she is,the birthday girl. My lovely wife, Jackie Tyler. [JACKIE] Now, I'm not giving a speech. That's what my parties are famousfor. No work, no politics, just a few good mates and plenty of blackmarket whisky. Pardon me, Mister President. So, yeah, get on with it.Enjoy, enjoy. [DOCTOR] You can't stay. Even if there was some way of telling them. [ROSE] Course I can't. I've still got Mum at home. My real mum. Icouldn't just leave her, could I. It's just, they've got each other.Mum's got no one. [DOCTOR] She's got you. Those two haven't. All these different worlds,not one of them gets it right. [JACKIE] Rose! There's my little girl! Come to mummy, come to mummy! [JACKIE] Yes, good girl! Good girl, aren't you? [DOCTOR] Sorry. --------------------------------------- (Loading bay) [CYBERMAN] Platoon zero two now boarding. Platoonzero two now boarding. [CRANE] Stop staring. [DRIVER] What are they, sir? [CRANE] I'm told they're the future. Ain't technology wonderful? Go on,get in the cab. Start her up. [DRIVER] Sir. [LUMIC [OC]] Mister Crane, are we mobile? [CRANE] Just about to hit the road, sir. And yourself? [LUMIC [OC]] I'm arriving, Mister Crane. Prepare the factory. Now, sendthem forth, old friend. Let the good work begin. --------------------------------------- (Base) [JAKE] He's clean. No bugs. [RICKY] But this is off the scale. He's flesh and blood. How did thathappen? [MOORE] Well, it could be that Cybus Industries have perfected thescience of human cloning, or your father had a bike. [RICKY] And your name is Mickey, not Ricky. [MICKEY] Mickey. Dad was Jackson Smith. Used to work at the key cuttersin Clifton's Parade. Went to Spain, never came back. [RICKY] But that's my dad. So, we're brothers? [JAKE] Be fair. What else could it be? [RICKY] I don't know. But he doesn't just look like me, he is exactlythe same. There's something else going on here, Jake. [MICKEY] So, who are you lot? [RICKY] We? We are the Preachers. As in Gospel Truth. You see? No earplugs. While the rest of the world downloads from Cybus Industries, we,we have got freedom. You're talking to London's Most Wanted, but targetNumber One is Lumic, and we are going to bring him down. [MICKEY] From your kitchen? [RICKY] Have you got a problem with that? [MICKEY] No, it's a good kitchen. [MOORE] It's an upload from Gemini. [MICKEY] Who's Gemini? [MOORE] The vans are back. They're moving out of Battersea. Looks likeGemini was right. Lumic's finally making a move. [RICKY] And we are right behind him. Pack up, we're leaving. --------------------------------------- (The Tyler's house) [PETE] I remember her twenty first. Pint of cider in the George. [ROSE] Sorry. Champagne? [PETE] Oh, might as well. I'm paying for it. [ROSE] It's a big night for you. [PETE] For her. Still, she's happy. [ROSE] She should be. It's a great party. [PETE] Do you think? [ROSE] You can trust me. [PETE] You can trust me on this. [ROSE] That's it, sorry. So, how long have you two been married? [PETE] Twenty years. [ROSE] And no kids, or? [PETE] We kept putting it off. She said she didn't want to spoil herfigure. [ROSE] It's not too late. She's only forty. [PETE] Thirty nine. [ROSE] Oh, right. Thirty nine. [PETE] It's still too late. I moved out last month, but we're going tokeep it quiet. You know, it's bad for business. Why am I telling youall this? We haven't met before, have we? I don't know, you just seemsort of [ROSE] What? [PETE] I don't know. Just sort of right. Stevie! How's things? How's itgoing at Torchwood? --------------------------------------- (Outside the Tyler's house) [RICKY] I don't know what they're doing, but this seems to be thetarget. Big house, fair bit of money. Now we have got to find a way toget in. --------------------------------------- (Van) [MOORE] I've identified the address. It belongs toPeter Tyler, the Vitex millionaire. [MICKEY] Pete Tyler? [MOORE] He's listed as one of Lumic's henchmen. A traitor to the state. [MICKEY] But --------------------------------------- (Outside the Tyler's house) [RICKY] Now, shut it, duplicate. That's what I just said. [RICKY] What are they doing? [RICKY] What the hell are they? --------------------------------------- (Office) [LUMIC [OC]] The most precious thing on this Earth is the human brain --------------------------------------- (Patio) [ROSE] Missis Tyler, is there anything I can get you? [JACKIE] The last twenty years back. [ROSE] I can manage a glass of champagne or a nice cup of tea? [JACKIE] Oh, that'd do me. [ROSE] My mum loves that. End of a long night she never goes straight tobed, she always stays up just to have that last cup of tea. [JACKIE] Oh, I'm the same. [ROSE] Two sugars. [JACKIE] And me. Pete always says, you know. Ah, never mind him. [ROSE] I was talking to him earlier. He's a nice man. You know, bit of aJack the Lad, I suppose, even if he has got money, but he's a goodbloke. Better than most. He's worth a second chance. [JACKIE] Are you commenting on my marriage? [ROSE] No, I was just [JACKIE] Who the hell do you think you are? You're staff. You're nothingbut staff. You're just the serving girl, for God's sake. And you arecertainly not getting paid. Don't you dare talk to me. --------------------------------------- (Office) [LUMIC [OC]] This is the ultimate upgrade. Ourgreatest step into cyberspace. [DOCTOR] Cybers. --------------------------------------- (Drawing room) [DOCTOR] It's happening again. [ROSE] What do you mean? [DOCTOR] I've seem them before. [ROSE] What are they? [DOCTOR] Cybermen. [PRESIDENT] Mister Lumic. --------------------------------------- (Control room) [LUMIC] Mister President. I suppose a remark aboutcrashing the party would be appropriate at this point. --------------------------------------- (Drawing room) [PRESIDENT] I forbade this. --------------------------------------- (Control room) [LUMIC] These are my children, sir. Would you denymy family? --------------------------------------- (Drawing room) [ROSE] What are they, robots? [DOCTOR] Worse than that. [PRESIDENT] Who were these people? --------------------------------------- (Control room) [LUMIC] Doesn't matter. --------------------------------------- (Drawing room) [ROSE] They're people? [DOCTOR] They were, until they had all their humanity taken away. That'sa living brain jammed inside a cybernetic body, with a heart of steel.All emotions removed. [ROSE] Why no emotions? [DOCTOR] Because it hurts. [PRESIDENT] I demand to know, Lumic. These people, who were they? [LUMIC [OC]] They were homeless --------------------------------------- (Control room) [LUMIC] And wretched and useless --------------------------------------- (Drawing room) [LUMIC [OC]] Until I saved them, and elevated them,and gave them life eternal. --------------------------------------- (Control room) [LUMIC] And now I leave you in their capable hands.Goodnight, sir. --------------------------------------- (Drawing room) [LUMIC [OC]] Goodnight, Mister President. [CYBERMAN] We have been upgraded. [DOCTOR] Into what? [CYBERMAN] The next level of mankind. We are Human point two. Everycitizen will receive a free upgrade. You will become like us. [PRESIDENT] I'm sorry. I'm so sorry for what's been done to you, butlisten to me. This experiment ends tonight. [CYBERMAN] Upgrading is compulsory. [PRESIDENT] And if I refuse? [DOCTOR] Don't. [PRESIDENT] What if I refuse? [DOCTOR] I'm telling you, don't. [PRESIDENT] What happens if I refuse? [CYBERMAN] Then you are not compatible. [PRESIDENT] What happens then? [CYBERMAN] You will be deleted. [PETE] Jackie! Jackie! --------------------------------------- (Outside the Tyler house) [DOCTOR] There's nothing we can do. [ROSE] My mum's in there! [DOCTOR] She is not your mother! Come on! [ROSE] Quick! Quick! [DOCTOR] Pete, is there a way out? [PETE] The side gates. Who are you? How do you know so much? [DOCTOR] You wouldn't believe it in a million years. [ROSE] Who's that? [RICKY] Get behind me! [ROSE] Oh my God, look at you. [ROSE] I thought I'd never see you again! [RICKY] Yeah. No offence, sweetheart, but who the hell are you? [MICKEY] Rose! That's not me. That's like the other one. [DOCTOR] Oh, as if things weren't bad enough, there's two Mickey's. [RICKY] It's Ricky. [MICKEY] But there's more of them. [ROSE] We're surrounded. [DOCTOR] Put the guns down. Bullets won't stop them. [DOCTOR] No! Stop shooting, now. We surrender! Hands up. There's no needto damage us. We're good stock. We volunteer for the upgrade program.Take us to be processed. [CYBERMAN] You are rogue elements. [DOCTOR] But we surrender. [CYBERMAN] You are incompatible. [DOCTOR] But this is a surrender. [CYBERMAN] You will be deleted. [DOCTOR] But we're surrendering! Listen to me, we surrender! [CYBERMAN] You are inferior. Man will be reborn as Cyberman, but youwill perish under maximum deletion. [CYBERMAN] Delete. Delete. Delete!

Doctor Who (20 May, 2006; Tenth Doctor) - The Age of Steel [RICKY] What the hell was that? [DOCTOR] We'll have that instead. Run! [MOORE] Everybody, in! [PETE] I've got to go back. My wife's in there. [DOCTOR] Anyone inside that house is dead. If you want to help, thendon't let her die for nothing. You've got to come with us right now. [MOORE] Come on! Get a move on! [DOCTOR] Rose, she's not your mother. [ROSE] I know. [DOCTOR] Come on. [MOORE] Finished chatting? Never seen a slower getaway in my life! --------------------------------------- (Van) [RICKY] What was that thing? [DOCTOR] Little bit of technology from my home. [MICKEY] It's stopped glowing. Has it run out? [DOCTOR] It's on a revitalising loop. It'll charge back up in about fourhours. [RICKY] Right. So, we don't have a weapon anymore. [JAKE] Yeah, we've got weapons. Might not be one of those metal things,but they're good enough for men like him. [ROSE] Leave him alone. What's he done wrong? [JAKE] Oh, you know, just laid a trap that's wiped out the Governmentand left Lumic in charge. [PETE] If I was part of all that, do you think I'd leave my wife inside? [RICKY] Maybe your plan went wrong. Still gives us the right to executeyou, though. [DOCTOR] Talk about executions, you'll make me your enemy. And take somereally good advice. You don't want to do that. [RICKY] All the same, we have evidence that says Pete Tyler's beenworking for Lumic since twenty point five. [ROSE] Is that true? [RICKY] Tell them, Mrs M. [MOORE] We've got a government mole who feeds us information. Lumic'sprivate files, his South American operations, the lot. Secretbroadcasts twice a week. [PETE] Broadcast from Gemini? [RICKY] And how do you know that? [PETE] I'm Gemini. That's me. [RICKY] Yeah, well you would say that. [PETE] Encrypted wavelength six five seven using binary nine. That's theonly reason I was working for Lumic. To get information. I thought Iwas broadcasting to the Security Services. What do I get? Scooby Dooand his gang. They've even got the van. [MICKEY] No, no, no. But the Preachers know what they're doing. Rickysaid he's London's Most Wanted. [RICKY] Yeah, that's not exactly [MICKEY] Not exactly what? [RICKY] I'm London's Most Wanted for parking tickets. [PETE] Great. [RICKY] Yeah, they were deliberate. I was fighting the system. Parkanywhere, that's me. [DOCTOR] Good policy. I do much the same. I'm the Doctor, by the way, ifanyone's interested. [ROSE] And I'm Rose. Hello. [PETE] Even better. That's the name of my dog. Still, at least I've gotthe catering staff on my side. [ROSE] I knew you weren't a traitor. [PETE] Why is that, then? [ROSE] I just did. [PETE] They took my wife. [ROSE] She might still be alive. [PETE] That's even worse. Because that's what Lumic does. He takes theliving and he turns them into those machines. [DOCTOR] Cybermen. They're called Cybermen. And I'd take those ear podsoff, if I were you. You never know. Lumic could be listening. [DOCTOR] But he's overreached himself. He's still just a businessman.He's assassinated the President. All we need to do is get to the cityand inform the authorities. Because I promise you, this ends tonight. --------------------------------------- (Control room) [LUMIC] My everlasting children. Tell me, how doesit feel? [CYBERMAN] We feel nothing. [LUMIC] But in your mind, what do you think? [CYBERMAN] We think the same. We are uniform. [LUMIC] But you think of what? [CYBERMAN] We think of the humans. We think of their difference andtheir pain. They suffer in the skin. They must be upgraded. [LUMIC] Excellent. Then let's begin. Computer, identify John Lumic. [COMPUTER] Voice print acknowledged. [LUMIC] Activate ear pod primary sequence. [COMPUTER] Please state area of activation. [LUMIC] The City of London. I've just declared Independence. Begintransmission. [LUMIC] You will come to me, my dear children. The Immortal Ones. [REPORTER [on TV]] All of London has been sealed off. There are reportsof an army. An army of metal men. All citizens should remove their earpods. I repeat, remove all ear pods. London has been placed undermartial law. If you're hearing this, stay in your homes. I repeat, stayin your homes. --------------------------------------- (Outside Battersea Power station) [CRANE] Oh no, you don't. --------------------------------------- (Street) [JAKE] What the hell? [ROSE] What's going on? [DOCTOR] It's the ear-pods. Lumic's taken control. [ROSE] Can't we just, I don't know, take them off? [DOCTOR] Don't! Cause a brainstorm. Human race. For such an intelligentlot, you aren't half susceptible. Give anyone a chance to take controland you submit. Sometimes I think you like it. Easy life. [JAKE] Hey, Come and see. [ROSE] Where are they all going? [DOCTOR] I don't know. Lumic must have a base of operations. [PETE] Battersea. That's where he was building his prototypes. [ROSE] Why's he doing it? [PETE] He's dying. This all started out as a way of prolonging life, ofkeeping the brain alive at any cost. [ROSE] The thing is, I've seen Cybermen before, haven't I? The head.Those handle shapes in Van Statten's museum. [DOCTOR] Ah, there are Cybermen in our universe. They started on anordinary world just like this, then swarmed across the galaxy. This lotare a parallel version, and they're starting from scratch right here onEarth. [PETE] What the hell are you two on about? [RICKY] Never mind that. Come on, we need to get out of the city. Okay,split up. Mrs Moore, you look after that bloke. Jake, distract them. Goright, I'll go left. We'll meet back at Bridge Street. Move. [MICKEY] I'm going with him. [MOORE] Come on, let's go. [DOCTOR] There! --------------------------------------- (Industrial unit) [MICKEY] Which way? I don't know where we are. [RICKY] Did they see us? [MICKEY] Do they know where we are? [RICKY] I think they saw us. I bet they can see in the dark [MICKEY] I bet they've got satellites [RICKY] I bet they saw us in the dark. [MICKEY + RICKY] They know where we are. [RICKY] I don't get it. What is it with you? You are exactly like me. [MICKEY] I don't know, I reckon you're braver. [RICKY] Oh yeah, ten times. Still, your friends aren't bad. I'll giveyou that. [MICKEY] Oh, that's the Doctor and Rose. I just tag along behind. [RICKY] Well, then, you're not that bad. [MICKEY] Do you think? [RICKY] Yeah, I suppose. [MICKEY] Cybermen. [MICKEY + RICKEY] Split up! --------------------------------------- (Alley) [DOCTOR] Go. --------------------------------------- (Outside Battersea Power Station) [CYBERMAN [OC]] Chamber twelve now closed for sterilisation. All rejectstock will be incinerated. --------------------------------------- (Industrial unit) [MICKEY] Come on! Come on! Come on! [MICKEY] No! --------------------------------------- (Control room) [CYBERMAN] This one is unprogrammed. [LUMIC] Mister Crane, I thought you were one of the faithful. [CRANE] Oh, that I am, sir. My ear pod must've malfunctioned. For whichI apologise. If I, er, might? I'd like to request an upgrade, sir. I'veseen the future, and it's copyright Cybus Industries. Sign me up. [LUMIC] A willing volunteer. [CRANE] You've known me a long time, sir. Quite a team, you and me. I'vebeen with you all the way. But believe me, sir, knowing you so well, Iknow exactly what to do. [LUMIC] No! Help me! [CRANE] Die, you [LUMIC] Help me! [CYBERMAN] You are in pain. We can remove pain forever. [LUMIC] No, not yet! I'm not ready. [CYBERMAN] We will give you immortality. [LUMIC] I've told you. I will upgrade only with my last breath! [CYBERMAN] Then breathe no more. [LUMIC] No! No! I command you, no! --------------------------------------- (Street) [JAKE] I ran past the river. You should have seenit. The whole city's on the march. Hundreds of Cybermen all down theThames. [JAKE] Here he is! Which one are you? [MICKEY] I'm sorry. The Cybermen. He couldn't. [JAKE] Are you Ricky? Are you Ricky? [ROSE] Mickey, that's you, isn't it? [MICKEY] Yeah. [MICKEY] He tried. He was running. There was too many of them. [JAKE] Shut it. [MICKEY] There was nothing I could do. [JAKE] I said just shut it. Don't even talk about him. You're nothing,you are. Nothing. [DOCTOR] We can mourn him when London is safe. But now, we move on. --------------------------------------- (Waste ground) [DOCTOR] The whole of London's been sealed off, and the entirepopulation's been taken inside that place. To be converted. [ROSE] We've got to get in there and shut it down. [MICKEY] How do we do that? [DOCTOR] Oh, I'll think of something. [MICKEY] You're just making this up as you go along. [DOCTOR] Yep. But I do it brilliantly. [MOORE] That's a schematic of the old factory. Look. Cooling tunnelsunderneath the plant. Big enough to walk through [DOCTOR] We go under there and up into the control centre? [MOORE] Mmm. [PETE] There's another way in. Through the front door. If they've takenJackie for upgrading, that's how she'll get in. [JAKE] We can't just go strolling up. [MOORE] Or we could, with these. Fake ear pods. Dead. No signal. But putthem on, the Cybermen would mistake you for one of the crowd. [PETE] Then that's my job. [DOCTOR] You'd have to show no emotion. None at all. Any sign of emotionwould give you away. [ROSE] How many of those you got? [MOORE] Just two sets. [ROSE] Okay. If that's the best way of finding Jackie, then I'm comingwith you. [PETE] Why does she matter to you? [ROSE] We haven't got time. Doctor, I'm going with him, and that's that. [DOCTOR] No stopping you, is there? [ROSE] No. [DOCTOR] Tell you what. We can take the ear pods at the same time. Givepeople their minds back so they don't walk into that place like sheep.Jakey-boy? Lumic's transmitting the control signal. It must be fromover there. [DOCTOR] There it is. On the zeppelin, you see? Great big transmitter.Good thing Lumic likes showing off. Reckon you could take it out? [JAKE] Consider it done. [DOCTOR] Mrs Moore, would you care to accompany me into the coolingtunnels? [MOORE] How could I refuse an offer of cooling tunnels? [DOCTOR] We attack on three sides. Above, between, below. We get to thecontrol centre, we stop the conversion machines. [MICKEY] What about me? [DOCTOR] Mickey. You can er [MICKEY] What, stay out of trouble? Be the tin dog? No, those days areover. I'm going with Jake. [JAKE] I don't need you, idiot. [MICKEY] I'm not an idiot! You got that? I'm offering to help. [JAKE] Whatever. [DOCTOR] Mickey. Good luck. [MICKEY] Yeah, you too. Rose, I'll see you later. [ROSE] Yeah, you'd better. [DOCTOR] If we survive this, I'll see you back at the Tardis. [MICKEY] That's a promise. [DOCTOR] Good luck. --------------------------------------- (Cooling tunnels) [MOORE] It's freezing. [DOCTOR] Any sign of a light switch? [MOORE] Can't see a thing. But I've got these. A device for everyoccasion. [DOCTOR] Ooo! [MOORE] Put it on. [DOCTOR] Haven't got a hotdog in there, have you? I'm starving. [MOORE] Of all the things to wish for. That's mechanically recoveredmeat. [DOCTOR] I know. It's the Cyberman of food, but it's tasty. [MOORE] A proper torch as well. [DOCTOR] Let's see where we are. [DOCTOR] Already converted, just put on ice. Come on. [DOCTOR] Let's go slowly. Keep an eye out for trip systems. --------------------------------------- (Outside Battersea Power Station) [CYBERMAN [OC]] Chamber six now open for human upgrading. Chamber sevennow open for human upgrading. [CYBERMAN [OC]] Chamber eight now open for human upgrading. [PETE] Just put them on. Don't show any emotion. No signs, nothing.Okay? [ROSE] Don't worry. We can do it. [CYBERMAN [OC]] Chamber seven now open for human upgrading. [PETE] We could die in here. Why are you doing this? [ROSE] Let's just say I'm doing it for my mum and dad. Right, let's go. [CYBERMAN [OC]] Chamber eight now open for human upgrading. [CYBERMAN [OC]] Chamber nine now open for human upgrading. Chamber tennow open for human upgrading. Chamber eleven now open for humanupgrading. --------------------------------------- (Power station roof) [JAKE] Two guards. We can take them. [MICKEY] Don't kill them. [JAKE] Who put you in charge? [MICKEY] If you kill them, what's the difference between you and theCybermen? [JAKE] Well, I suppose we could use these. [MICKEY] Smelling salts? [JAKE] Bit stronger than that. One of Mrs Moore's little tricks. Shouldknock them out. Three, two, one. [MICKEY] There's got to be more guards on board. [JAKE] Then let's go get them. --------------------------------------- (Cooling tunnel) [DOCTOR] How did you get into this, then, rattlingalong with the Preachers? [MOORE] Oh, I used to be ordinary. Worked at Cybus Industries, nine tofive, till one day, I find something I'm not supposed to. A file on themainframe. All I did was read it. Then suddenly I've got men with gunsknocking in the middle of the night. Life on the run. Then I found thePreachers. They needed a techie, so I, I just sat down and taughtmyself everything. [DOCTOR] What about Mr Moore? [MOORE] Well, he's not called Moore. I got that from a book, Mrs Moore.It's safer not to use real names. But he thinks I'm dead. It was theonly way to keep him safe. Him and the kids. What about you? Got anyfamily, or? [DOCTOR] Oh, who needs family? I've got the whole world on my shoulders.Go on, then. What's your real name? [MOORE] Angela Price. Don't tell a soul. [DOCTOR] Not a word. --------------------------------------- (Control room) [CYBERMAN 2] Movement in Deepcold Six. [CYBERMAN] Awaken the army. --------------------------------------- (Cooling tunnel) [MOORE] Doctor, did that one just move? [DOCTOR] It's just the torchlight. Keep going, come on. [DOCTOR] They're waking up. Run! [MOORE] Get up! Quick! They're coming! Open it! Open it! [MOORE] Get up! Quick! Quick! [DOCTOR] Come on! Come on! [DOCTOR] Oh, good team, Mrs Moore. --------------------------------------- (Battersea Power Station) [CYBERMAN [OC]] Units upgraded now six thousand fivehundred. Repeat. Six thousand five hundred and rising. [CYBERMAN] You will wait. [PETE] You okay? [ROSE] No. [CYBERMAN [OC]] Chamber six now open for human upgrading. All rejectstock will be incinerated. [PETE] Any sign of Jackie? [CYBERMAN] You are Peter Tyler. Confirm you are Peter Tyler. [PETE] Confirmed. [CYBERMAN] I recognise you. I went first. My name was Jacqueline Tyler. [ROSE] No! [PETE] What? [CYBERMAN] They are unprogrammed. Restrain. [PETE] You're lying. You're not her. You're not my Jackie! [CYBERMAN] No, I am Cyber-form. Once I was Jacqueline Tyler. [ROSE] But you can't be. Not her. [CYBERMAN] Her brain is inside this body. [PETE] Jacs, I came to save you. [CYBERMAN] This man worked with Cybus Industries to create our species.He will be rewarded by force. Take them to Cyber Control. [ROSE] They killed her. They just took her and killed her. [PETE] Maybe there's a chance, I don't know. Maybe we can reverse it. [ROSE] There's nothing we can do. [PETE] But if, if she remembers. Where is she? Which one was it? Whichone was her? [ROSE] They all look the same. --------------------------------------- (Lumic's Zeppelin) [JAKE] Nice one. Nobody's home. Find the transmitter controls. [MICKEY] What do they look like? [JAKE] Well, I don't know. They might have Transmitter Controls writtenin big red letters. Just look! [JAKE] Cyberman! [MICKEY] It's dead. I don't think it was ever alive. [MICKEY] It's empty. No brain. It's just a robot suit. It's for display. [JAKE] Okay. Transmitter. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [CYBERMAN] You are not upgraded. [MOORE] Yeah? Well, upgrade this. [DOCTOR] What the hell was that thing? [MOORE] Electromagnetic bomb. Takes out computers, I figured it mightstop the cyber-suit. [DOCTOR] You figured right. Now, let's have a look. Know your enemy. Alogo on the front. Lumic's turned them into a brand. Heart of steel,but look. [MOORE] Is that flesh? [DOCTOR] Hmmm. Central nervous system. Artificially grown then threadedthroughout the suit so it responds like a living thing. Well, it is aliving thing. Oh, but look. Emotional inhibitor. Stops them feelinganything. [MOORE] But why? [DOCTOR] It's still got a human brain. Imagine its reaction if it couldsee itself, realise itself inside this thing. They'd go insane. [MOORE] So they cut out the one thing that makes them human. [DOCTOR] Because they have to. [CYBERMAN] Why am I cold? [MOORE] Oh, my God. It's alive. It can feel. [DOCTOR] We broke the inhibitor. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. [CYBERMAN] Why so cold? [DOCTOR] Can you remember your name? [CYBERMAN] Sally. Sally Phelan. [MOORE] You're a woman. [CYBERMAN] Where's Gareth? [MOORE] Who's Gareth? [CYBERMAN] He can't see me. It's unlucky the night before. [MOORE] You're getting married. [CYBERMAN] I'm cold. I'm so cold. [DOCTOR] It's all right. You sleep now, Sally. Just go to sleep. [DOCTOR] Sally Phelan didn't die for nothing, because that's the key.The emotional inhibitor. If we could find the code behind it, thecancellation code, then feed it throughout the system into everyCyberman's head, they'd realise what they are. [MOORE] And what happens then? [DOCTOR] I think it would kill them. Could we do that? [MOORE] We've got to. Before they kill everyone else. There's no choice,Doctor. It's got to be done. [DOCTOR] No! No, you didn't have to kill her! [CYBERMAN] Sensors detect a binary vascular system. You are an unknownupgrade. You will be taken for analysis. --------------------------------------- (Lumic's Zeppelin) [MICKEY] The transmitter controls are sealed behindhere, we need like an oxyacetylene or something. [JAKE] Oh, and I forgot to bring it with me. [MICKEY] Well then, what do we do? [JAKE] We'll crash the Zeppelin. [MICKEY] With us inside it? [JAKE] We could set it to automatic and then just leg it. Let's have alook. [JAKE] It's locked. There's got to be an override. [MICKEY] Let me have a go. I'm good with computers. Trust me. --------------------------------------- (Control room) [DOCTOR] I've been captured, but don't worry, Roseand Pete are still out there. They can rescue me. Oh well, never mind.You okay? [ROSE] Yeah. But they got Jackie. [PETE] We were too late. Lumic killed her. [DOCTOR] Then where is he, the famous Mister Lumic? Don't we get thechance to meet our Lord and Master? [CYBERMAN] He has been upgraded. [DOCTOR] So he's just like you? [CYBERMAN] He is superior. The Lumic Unit has been designated CyberController. [LUMIC] This is The Age of Steel and I am its Creator. --------------------------------------- (Lumic's Zeppelin) [MICKEY] Almost there. [JAKE] Not bad work. [JAKE] It's moving! You said it was dead! [MICKEY] Yeah. But a robot's still a big robot. Wait a minute. Hey,Cyberman, over here. Come on, you brainless lump of metal. Come andhave a go! --------------------------------------- (Battersea Power Station) [WOMAN] Oh no! --------------------------------------- (Lumic's Zeppelin) [MICKEY] The transmitter's down! --------------------------------------- (Control room) [DOCTOR] That's my friends at work. Good boys!Mister Lumic, I think that's a vote for free will. [LUMIC] I have factories waiting on seven continents. If the ear podshave failed, then the Cybermen will take humanity by force. London hasfallen. So shall the world. --------------------------------------- (Lumic's Zeppelin) [MICKEY] Hold on, I've logged on to Cyber Control. [MICKEY] They're alive! The Doctor and Rose, there they are! [JAKE] Never mind them, what the hell is that thing? [MICKEY] Shush. Has this thing got sound? [LUMIC [on monitor]] I will bring peace to the world. Everlasting peace --------------------------------------- (Control room) [LUMIC] And unity and uniformity. [DOCTOR] And imagination? What about that? The one thing that lead youhere, imagination, you're killing it dead! [LUMIC] What is your name? [DOCTOR] I'm the Doctor. [LUMIC] A redundant title. Doctors need not exist. Cybermen neversicken. [DOCTOR] Yeah, but that's it. That's exactly the point! Oh, Lumic,you're a clever man. I'd call you a genius, except I'm in the room. Buteverything you've invented, you did to fight your sickness. And that'sbrilliant. That is so human. But once you get rid of sickness andmortality, then what's there to strive for, eh? The Cybermen won'tadvance. You'll just stop. You'll stay like this forever. A metal Earthwith metal men and metal thoughts, lacking the one thing that makesthis planet so alive. People. Ordinary, stupid, brilliant people. [LUMIC] You are proud of your emotions. [DOCTOR] Oh, yes. [LUMIC] Then tell me, Doctor. Have you known grief, and rage, and pain? [DOCTOR] Yes. Yes I have. [LUMIC] And they hurt? [DOCTOR] Oh, yes. [LUMIC] I could set you free. Would you not want that? A life withoutpain? [DOCTOR] You might as well kill me. [LUMIC] Then I take that option. [DOCTOR] It's not yours to take. You're a Cyber Controller. You don'tcontrol me or anything with blood in its heart. [LUMIC] You have no means of stopping me. I have an army. A species ofmy own. [DOCTOR] You just don't get it, do you? An army's nothing. Because thoseordinary people, they're the key. The most ordinary person could changethe world. --------------------------------------- (Lumic's Zeppelin) [DOCTOR [on monitor]] Some ordinary man or woman,some idiot. All it takes is for him to find, say, --------------------------------------- (Control room) [DOCTOR] The right numbers. Say the right codes.Say, for example, the code behind the emotional inhibitor. The coderight in front of him. --------------------------------------- (Lumic's Zeppelin) [DOCTOR [on monitor]] Because even an idiot knowshow to use computers these days. --------------------------------------- (Control room) [DOCTOR] Knows how to get past firewalls andpasswords. Lnows how to find something encrypted in the Lumic FamilyDatabase, under er. What was it, Pete? Binary what? [PETE] Binary nine. --------------------------------------- (Lumic's Zeppelin) [MICKEY] Binary Nine. [DOCTOR [on monitor]] An idiot could find that code. Cancellation code. --------------------------------------- (Control room) [DOCTOR] And he'd keep on typing. --------------------------------------- (Lumic's Zeppelin) [DOCTOR [on monitor]] Keep on fighting. Anything tosave his friends. --------------------------------------- (Control room) [LUMIC] Your words are irrelevant. [DOCTOR] Yeah, talk too much, that's my problem. Lucky I got you thatcheap tariff, Rose, for all our long chats. --------------------------------------- (Lumic's Zeppelin) [DOCTOR [on monitor]] On your phone. [MICKEY] The phone. --------------------------------------- (Control room) [LUMIC] You will be deleted. [DOCTOR] Yes. Delete, control, hash. All those lovely buttons. Then, ofcourse, my particular favourite, send. And let's not forget how youseduced all those ordinary people in the first place. [DOCTOR] By making every bit of technology compatible with everythingelse. [ROSE] It's for you. [DOCTOR] Like this. --------------------------------------- (Lumic's Zeppelin) [MICKEY + JAKE] Yes! --------------------------------------- (Control room) [DOCTOR] I'm sorry. [LUMIC] What have you done?? [DOCTOR] I gave them back their souls. They can see what you've done,Lumic, and it's killing them! [LUMIC] Delete! Delete! Delete! --------------------------------------- (Battersea Power Station) [DOCTOR] There's no way out! --------------------------------------- (Lumic's Zeppelin) [MICKEY] What're you doing? [JAKE] We've got to get away. If that factory blows up, this balloon'sgoing to ignite. [MICKEY] Take it back! [JAKE] Mickey, they've had it! [MICKEY] I said, take it back! We're not leaving them behind. There's noway we're leaving them behind! [MICKEY] Hold it! Rose? Rose, can you hear me? Head for the roof! --------------------------------------- (Battersea Power Station) [ROSE] It's Mickey. He says head for the roof. --------------------------------------- (Control room) [LUMIC] No! --------------------------------------- (Power Station roof) [ROSE] Mickey, where'd you learn to fly that thing? --------------------------------------- (Lumic's Zeppelin) [MICKEY] Playstation. Just hold on, Rose. I'm comingto get you. [JAKE] You can't go any lower. [MICKEY] I've got to. [JAKE] You're going to crush them. [MICKEY] There's got to be something. There's got to be. Oh, yes. --------------------------------------- (Power station roof) [PETE] You've got to be kidding. [DOCTOR] Rose, get up. --------------------------------------- (Lumic's Zeppelin) [MICKEY] Hold on tight, we're going up! Welcome toMickey Smith's Airline. Please enjoy your flight. Woo! --------------------------------------- (Rope ladder) [ROSE] We did it! We did it! [DOCTOR] Pete! Take this! Use it! Hold the button down! Press it againstthe rope. Just do it! [PETE] Jackie Tyler. This is for her! [LUMIC] Argh! --------------------------------------- (Lambeth Pier) [PETE] So, what happens inside that thing, then? [ROSE] Do you want to see? [PETE] No, I don't think so. But you two, you know, all that stuff yousaid about different worlds. Who are you? [ROSE] It's like you say. Imagine there are different worlds, parallelworlds. Worlds with another Pete Tyler and Jackie Tyler's still alive,and their daughter. [PETE] I've got to go. [ROSE] But if you just look inside. [PETE] No, I can't. There's all those Lumic factories out there. Allthose Cybermen still in storage. Someone's got to tell the authoritieswhat happened, carry on the fight... [DOCTOR] Rose? I've only got five minutes of power. We've got to go. [ROSE] The Doctor could show you. [PETE] Thank you. For everything. [ROSE] Dad. [PETE] Don't. Just, just don't. [MICKEY] Here it is. I found it. Not a crease. [DOCTOR] My suit! Good man. Now then, Jake, we've got to run. But onemore thing. Mrs Moore. Her real name was Angela Price. She's got ahusband out there, and children. Find them. Tell them how she diedsaving the world. [JAKE] Yeah, course I will. [DOCTOR] Off we go, then. [MICKEY] Er, thing is, I'm staying. [DOCTOR] You're doing what? [ROSE] You can't. [MICKEY] It sort of balances out, because this world lost its Ricky, butthere's me. And there's work to be done with all those Cybermen stillout there. [ROSE] But you can't stay. [MICKEY] Rose, my gran's here. She's still alive. My old gran, rememberher? [ROSE] Yeah. [MICKEY] She needs me. [ROSE] What about me? What if I need you? [MICKEY] Yeah, but Rose, you don't. It's just you and him, isn't it. Wehad something a long time ago, but not anymore. [ROSE] Well, we'll come back. We can travel anywhere. Come and see you,yeah? [DOCTOR] We can't. I told you, travel between parallel worlds isimpossible. We only got here by accident. We, we fell through a crackin time. When we leave, I've got to close it. We can't ever return. [MICKEY] Doctor. [DOCTOR] Take Rose's phone. It's got the code. Get it out there. Stopthose factories. And good luck, Mickey the idiot. [MICKEY] Watch it. [MICKEY] Thanks. We've had a laugh though, haven't we? Seen it all, beenthere and back. Who would have thought, me and you off the old estate,flying through the stars. [ROSE] All those years just sitting there, imagining what we'd do oneday. We never saw this, did we? [MICKEY] Go on, don't miss your flight. [MICKEY] Jake, you want to watch this. [JAKE] What the hell? [MICKEY] That's the Doctor in the Tardis with Rose Tyler. --------------------------------------- (The Tyler's flat) [ROSE] You're alive. Oh mum, you're alive. [JACKIE] Well, I was the last time I looked. What is it? What'shappened, sweetheart? What's wrong? Where did you go? [DOCTOR] Far away. That was far away. [JACKIE] Where's Mickey? [DOCTOR] He's gone home. --------------------------------------- (Van) [MICKEY] I know it's not easy with my face lookingexactly like Ricky, but I'm a different man. I'm not replacing him. Butwe can remember him by fighting in his name. With all those Cyberfactories out there, do you think they'll be one in Paris? [JAKE] Yeah. [MICKEY] Then, let's go and liberate Paris. [JAKE] What, you and me, in a van? [MICKEY] There's nothing wrong with a van. I once saved the universewith a big yellow truck.

How'd they get away from us? [ROSE] Surprised they didn't turn back and arrest you for recklessdriving. Have you actually passed your test? [DOCTOR] Men in black? Vanishing police cars? This is Churchill'sEngland, not Stalin's Russia. [ROSE] Monsters, that boy said. Maybe we should go and ask theneighbours. [DOCTOR] That's what I like about you. The domestic approach. [ROSE] Thank you. Hold on, was that an insult? Whoa! --------------------------------------- (Magpie's Electricals) [MAGPIE] I've finished it, as you instructed. [WIRE] That's awfully good of you, Mister Magpie. [MAGPIE] So you'll go soon? You'll leave me? [WIRE] Oh, we'll see. If you're a very good boy. [MAGPIE] Please, you're burning me, inside, behind my eyes. It hurts.Even my memories hurt. I just want things back like they used to be. [WIRE] Oh, but this world of your is busy, busy, busy, forging aheadinto a brand new age. You can never go back. That's your tragedy. Butnow, the time is almost ripe, Magpie. Cometh the hour, cometh the man.Or lady. --------------------------------------- (Upstairs landing) [TOMMY] Gran? Gran, it's me. It's Tommy. I'm going to come in, Gran.Stand back. Just don't.

I can handle this. This gentleman's a properrepresentative. Don't mind the wife, she rattles on a bit. [DOCTOR] Well, maybe she should rattle on a bit more.

[DOCTOR] And are you suggesting the Queen does the housework? [EDDIE] No. Not at all. [DOCTOR] Then get busy. [EDDIE] Right. Yes, sir. You'll be proud of us, sir. We'll have UnionJacks left, right and centre. [ROSE] Excuse me, Mister Connolly. Hang on a minute. Union Jacks? [EDDIE] Yes, that's right, isn't it? [ROSE] That's the Union Flag. It's the Union Jack only when it's flownat sea. [EDDIE] Oh. Oh, I'm sorry, I do apologise. [ROSE] Well, don't get it wrong again, there's a good man. Now get toit! [DOCTOR] Right then! Nice and comfy, at Her Majesty's leisure. UnionFlag? [ROSE] Mum went out with a sailor. [DOCTOR] Oh ho ho ho. I bet she did. Anyway, I'm the Doctor and this isRose, and you are? [TOMMY] Tommy.

[EDDIE] Hold on a minute. Queen and country's one thing, but this is myhouse! What the? [EDDIE] What the hell am I doing? Now you listen here, Doctor. You mayhave fancy qualifications, but what goes on under my roof is mybusiness. [DOCTOR] A lot of people are being bundled into [EDDIE] I am talking! [DOCTOR] And I'm not listening! Now you, Mister Connolly, you arestaring into a deep, dark pit of trouble if you don't let me help. SoI'm ordering you, sir! Tell me what's going on! [EDDIE] She won't stop. She never stops. [TOMMY] We started hearing stories, all round the place. People who'vechanged. Families keeping it secret because they were scared. Then thepolice started finding out. We don't know how, no one does. They justturn up, come to the door and take them, any time of the day or night. [DOCTOR] Show me. --------------------------------------- (Gran's room) [TOMMY] Gran? It's Tommy. It's all right, Gran. I've brought help. [DOCTOR] Her face is completely gone. [DOCTOR] Scarcely an electrical impulse left. Almost complete neuralshutdown. She's ticking over. It's like her brain has been wiped clean. [TOMMY] What're we going to do, Doctor? We can't even feed her. [ROSE] We've got company [RITA] It's them. They've come for her! [DOCTOR] Quickly. What was she doing before this happened? Where wasshe? Tell me. Quickly, think! [TOMMY] I can't think! She doesn't leave the house! She was just [DOCTOR] Hold on a minute. There are three important, brilliant, andcomplicated reasons why you should listen to me. One [ROSE] Doctor! [RITA] Leave her alone! No! [ROSE] Doctor! --------------------------------------- (Staircase) [RITA] Don't hurt her! --------------------------------------- (Front door) [EDDIE] Back inside, Rita. [RITA] She's my mother. [EDDIE] Back inside now, I said. --------------------------------------- (Gran's room) [DOCTOR] Ah, hell of a right hook. Have to watch out for that. --------------------------------------- (Front door) [EDDIE] Don't fight it. Back inside. [DOCTOR] Rose, come on! [EDDIE] Get back inside! [TOMMY] But Dad, they took her! [EDDIE] Don't fight it, son. Don't fight it. --------------------------------------- (Florizel Street) [DOCTOR] Rose, we're going to lose them again! --------------------------------------- (Front door) [TOMMY] Dad, they took her! That was Gran and they took her! [EDDIE] Come on, back inside, now. --------------------------------------- (Living room) [TOMMY] Anyway, how did they find her? Who told them? [EDDIE] You! Get the hell out of my house! [ROSE] I'm going. I'm done. Nice to meet you, Tommy, Mrs Connolly. Andas for you, Mister Connolly, only an idiot hangs the Union Flag upsidedown. Shame on you! --------------------------------------- (Outside the yard) [DOCTOR] Oh, very good. Very good. --------------------------------------- (Holding area) [BISHOP] Stay where you are. --------------------------------------- (Magpie's Electricals) [MAGPIE] Oh, I'm sorry, Miss. I'm afraid you're too late. I was justabout to lock the door. [ROSE] Yeah? Well, I want to buy a telly. [MAGPIE] Come back tomorrow, please. [ROSE] You'll be closed, won't you? [MAGPIE] What? [ROSE] For the big day? The coronation. [MAGPIE] Yes, yes, of course. The big day. I'm sure you'll findsomewhere to watch it. Please go. [ROSE] Seems to me half of London's got a television, since you'repractically giving them away. [MAGPIE] I have my reasons. [ROSE] And what are they? [WIRE] Hungry! Hungry! [ROSE] What's that? [MAGPIE] It's just a television. One of these modern programmes. Now, Ireally do think you should leave. Right now! [ROSE] Not until you've answered my questions. How come's yourtelevisions are so cheap? [MAGPIE] It's my patriotic duty. Seems only right that as many folk aspossible get to watch the coronation. We may be losing the Empire butwe can still be proud. Twenty million people they reckon'll bewatching. Imagine that. And twenty million people can't be wrong, eh,so why don't you get yourself back home and get up, bright and early,for the big day. [ROSE] Nah, I'm not leaving till I've seen everything. [MAGPIE] I need to close. [ROSE] Mister Magpie, something's happening out there. Ordinary peopleare being struck down and changed, and the only new thing in the houseis a television. Your television. What's going on? [MAGPIE] I knew this would happen. I knew I'd be found out. [ROSE] All right, then, it's just you and me. You going to come clean,then? What's really in it for you? [MAGPIE] For me? Perhaps some peace. [ROSE] From what? [MAGPIE] From her. [ROSE] That's just a woman on the telly. That's just a programme. [WIRE] What a pretty little girl. [ROSE] Oh, my God. Are you talking to me? [WIRE] Yes I'm talking to you, little one. Unseasonably chilly for thetime of year, don't you think? [ROSE] What are you? [WIRE] I'm the Wire, and I'm hungry! [ROSE] Magpie, help me! [MAGPIE] Just think of that audience tomorrow, my dear, all settlingdown to watch the coronation. Twenty million people. Things will neverbe the same again. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. [ROSE] Help me. [WIRE] Goodnight, children, everywhere. --------------------------------------- (Bishop's office) [BISHOP] Start from the beginning. Tell me everything you know. [DOCTOR] Well, for starters, I know you can't wrap your hand around yourelbow and make your fingers meet. [BISHOP] Don't get clever with me. You were there today at FlorizelStreet, and now breaking into this establishment. Now you're connectedwith this. Make no mistake. [DOCTOR] Well, the thing is, Detective Inspector Bishop. [BISHOP] How do you know my name? [DOCTOR] It's written inside your collar. Bless your mum. But I can'thelp thinking, Detective Inspector, you're not exactly doing muchdetective inspecting, are you? [BISHOP] I'm doing everything in my power. [DOCTOR] All you're doing is grabbing those faceless people and hidingthem as fast as you can. Don't tell me orders from above, hmm?Coronation Day. The eyes of the world are on London Town so any sort ofproblem just gets swept out of sight. [BISHOP] The nation has an imagine to maintain. [DOCTOR] But doesn't it drive you mad, doing nothing? Don't you want toget out there and investigate? [BISHOP] Of course I do. But, with all the crowds expected, we haven'tgot the man power. Even if we did, this is beyond anything we've everseen. I just don't know anymore. Twenty years on the force, I don'teven know where to start. We haven't the faintest clue what's going on. [DOCTOR] Well, that could change. [BISHOP] How? [DOCTOR] Start from the beginning. Tell me everything you know. [BISHOP] We started finding them about a month ago. Persons left sansvisage. Heads just blank. [DOCTOR] Is there any sort of pattern? [BISHOP] Yes, spreading out from North London. All over the city. Men,women, kids, grannies. The only real lead is there's been quite a largenumber in [DOCTOR] Florizel Street. [CRABTREE] Found another one, sir. [BISHOP] Oh, er, good man, Crabtree. Here we are, Doctor. Take a goodlook. See what you can deduce. [DOCTOR] Rose. [BISHOP] You know her? [DOCTOR] Know her? She [CRABTREE] They found her in the street, apparently, over by (something)Square, abandoned. [BISHOP] That's unusual. That's the first one out in the open. Heavenhelp us if something happens in public tomorrow for the big day. We'llhave Torchwood on our backs then, make no mistake. [DOCTOR] They did what? [BISHOP] I'm sorry? [DOCTOR] They left her where? [BISHOP] Just in the street. [DOCTOR] In the street. They left her in the street. They took her faceand just chucked her out and left her in the street. And as a result,that makes things simple. Very, very simple. Do you know why? [BISHOP] No. [DOCTOR] Because now, Detective Inspector Bishop, there is no power onthis Earth that can stop me. Come on! --------------------------------------- (Outside the warehouse) [BISHOP] The big day dawns. --------------------------------------- (Front passage) [EDDIE] You've had your fun with your little Doctor, but now you're leftwith me, Rita. So you'll behave yourself and smile. --------------------------------------- (Living room) [EDDIE] Here we go, everyone. Here we go. Grub's up,grub's up. Tuck in, everyone. Tuck in. Take a sandwich. Oh, here we go,here we go, it's started. Look, look. Take your places. Sit down, sitdown. That's it. There we are. [WILMOT [OC]] The East front of the palace on which all eyes are [BETTY] Rita, love. Just look at that telly box then. Ee, innitmarvellous. The picture's so clear. [EDDIE] Here, Bet. I says to Rita, I says, you didn't need to get yourhair done special, love. The Queen won't be able to see you! [BETTY] Where's your old mum, then? She can't go missing it. [RITA] Sorry. Er, mum can't make it down. [BETTY] Oh, bless her. Maybe we could pop up and see her later. [TOMMY] Maybe you could. It's a good idea. What do you think, dad? MaybeAunty Betty can go and see Gran later? [EDDIE] Oh, he loves his Gran, this one. Proper little mummy's boy allround. [BETTY] Oh, you know what they say about them. Eddie, you want to beatthat out of him. [EDDIE] That's exactly what I'm going to do. [TOMMY] I'll get it. [WILMOT [OC]] Will first appear in about ten minutes time riding in theGold Coach of State. --------------------------------------- (Front door) [DOCTOR] Tommy, talk to me. I need to know exactlywhat happened inside your house. [EDDIE] What the blazes do you think you're doing? [TOMMY] I want to help, dad. [DOCTOR] Mister Connolly [EDDIE] Shut your face, you, whoever you are. We can handle thisourselves. Listen, you little twerp. You're hardly out of theblooming' cradle, so I don't expect you to understand. But I've got aposition to maintain. People round here respect me. It matters whatpeople think. [TOMMY] Is that why you did it, dad? [EDDIE] What do you mean? Did what? [TOMMY] You ratted on Gran. How else would the police know where tolook, unless some coward told them [EDDIE] How dare you! Do you think I fought a war just so a mouthylittle scum like you could call me a coward? [TOMMY] You don't get it, do you? You fought against fascism, remember?People telling you how to live, who you could be friends with, who youcould fall in love with, who could live and who had to die. Don't youget it? You were fighting so that little twerps like me could do whatwe want, say what we want. Now you've become just like them. You'vebeen informing on everyone, haven't you? EvenGran. All to protect your precious reputation. [RITA] Eddie is that true? [EDDIE] I did it for us, Rita. She was filthy. A filthy, disgustingthing! [RITA] She's my mother. All the others you informed on, all the peoplein our street, our friends. [EDDIE] I had to. I, I did the right thing. [RITA] The right thing for us or for you, Eddie? You go, Tommy. Go withthe Doctor and do some good. Get away from this house, it's poison. Wehad a ruddy monster under this roof, all right, but it weren't mymother! [EDDIE] Rita! [DOCTOR] Tommy? --------------------------------------- (Living room) [BETTY] What was all that, then? [RITA] That was, that was the sound of something ending. And about timetoo. Everyone all right? Smashing. Nothing'sgoing to spoil our big day, is it? --------------------------------------- (Florizel Street) [DOCTOR] Tommy, tell me about that night. The night she changed. [TOMMY] She was just watching the telly. [DOCTOR] Rose said it. She guessed it straight away. Of course she did.All these aerials in one little street. How come? [TOMMY] Bloke up the road, Mister Magpie, he's selling them cheap. [BISHOP] Is he, now? [DOCTOR] Come on! --------------------------------------- (Magpie's Electricals) [BISHOP [OC]] Here, you can't do that [DOCTOR] Shop! If you're here, come out and talk to me! Magpie! [TOMMY] Maybe he's out. [DOCTOR] Looks like it [DOCTOR] Oh, hello. This isn't right. This is very much not right.Tastes like iron. Bakelite. Put together with human hands, yes, but thedesign itself. Oh, beautiful work. That is so simple. [BISHOP] That's incredible. It's like a television, but portable. Aportable television. [DOCTOR] It's not the only power source in this room. [TOMMY] Gran? [DOCTOR] I'm on my way. [MAGPIE] What do you think you're doing? [DOCTOR] I want my friend restored, and I think that's beyond a littlebackstreet electrician, so tell me, who's really in charge here? [WIRE] Yoo hoo! I think that must be me. Ooh, this one's smart as paint. [BISHOP] Is she talking to us? [MAGPIE] I'm sorry, gentlemen, I'm afraid you've brought this onyourselves. May I introduce you to my new friend. [WIRE] Jolly nice to meet you. [BISHOP] Oh my God, it's her, that woman off the telly. [DOCTOR] No, it's just using her image. [TOMMY] What? What are you? [WIRE] I'm the Wire, and I will gobble you up, pretty boy. Every lastmorsel. And when I have feasted, I shall regain the corporeal body,which my fellow kind denied me. [BISHOP] Good Lord. Colour television! [DOCTOR] So your own people tried to stop you? [WIRE] They executed me. But I escaped in this form and fled across thestars. [DOCTOR] And now you're trapped in the television. [WIRE] Not for much longer. [TOMMY] Doctor, is this what got my Gran? [DOCTOR] Yes, Tommy. It feeds off the electrical activity of the brain,but it gorges itself like a great overfed pig, taking people's faces,their essences. It stuffs itself. [BISHOP] And you let her do it, Magpie. [MAGPIE] I had to. She allowed me my face. She's promised to release meat the time of manifestation. [TOMMY] What does that mean? [WIRE] The appointed time. My crowning glory. [BISHOP] Doctor, the coronation! [DOCTOR] For the first time in history, millions gathered around atelevision set. But you're not strong enough yet, are you? You can't doit all from here. That's why you need this. You need something morepowerful! This will turn a big transmitter into a big receiver. [WIRE] What a clever thing you are! But why fret about it? Why not justrelax? Kick off your shoes and enjoy the Coronation. Believe me, you'llbe glued to the screen. [BISHOP] Doctor! [WIRE] Hungry! Hungry! The Wire is hungry! Ah, this one is tasty. Oh,I'll have lashings of him! Delicious! [WIRE] Ah! Armed. He's armed and clever. Withdraw! Withdraw! [WIRE] The box, Magpie! The box! [WIRE] Hold tight. [WIRE] Conduct me to my victory, Magpie. --------------------------------------- (Van) [WIRE] Hungry! Hungry! Feed me! --------------------------------------- (Living room) [BETTY] Oh, she's so lovely. [RITA] Beautiful. Makes you forget all your troubles. Everyone alrightfor pop? --------------------------------------- (Magpie's Electricals) [DOCTOR] Tommy, wake up. Tommy, come on! [TOMMY] What happened? [DOCTOR] Where's Magpie? --------------------------------------- (Outside the shop) [TOMMY] We don't even know where to start looking.It's too late. [DOCTOR] It's never too late, as a wise person once said. Kylie, Ithink. The Wire's got big plans. It'll need. Yes, yes, yes, it's got toharvest half the population. Millions and millions of people and whereare we? [TOMMY] Muswell Hill. [DOCTOR] Muswell Hill. Muswell Hill! Which means Alexandra Palace,biggest TV transmitter in North London. Oh, that's why it chose thisplace. Tommy? [TOMMY] What are you going to do? [DOCTOR] We're going shopping. --------------------------------------- (Magpie's Electricals) [TOMMY] Is this what you want? [DOCTOR] Perfect! Right, I need one more thing. --------------------------------------- (Outside the Tardis) [DOCTOR] Got it. Let's go. --------------------------------------- (Alexandra Palace) [MAGPIE] I cant do this! Please, please don't make me! [WIRE] The time is at hand. Feed me! Feed me! [TOMMY] There! [DOCTOR] Come on! [GUARD] Wait, wait, wait! Where do you think [OFFICIAL] Oh! I'm very sorry, sir. Shouldn't you be at the Coronation? [DOCTOR] They're saving me a seat. [TOMMY] Who did he think you were? [DOCTOR] King of Belgium, apparently. --------------------------------------- (Control room) [DOCTOR] Keep this switched on. Don't let anyonestop you, Tommy. Everything depends on it. You understand? --------------------------------------- (Alexandra Palace) [OFFICIAL] You'll get yourself killed up there! Your Majesty! --------------------------------------- (Transmitter) [WIRE] Feed me! [WIRE] Oh. Feast. Feasting The Wire is feasting. [MAGPIE] It's too late! It's too late for all of us! [WIRE] I shall consume you, Doctor. [DOCTOR] I won't let you do this, Magpie! [MAGPIE] Help me, Doctor. It burns. It took my face, my soul. [WIRE] You cannot stop the Wire. Soon I shall become manifest. [MAGPIE] No more of this. You promised me peace! [WIRE] And peace you shall have. [DOCTOR] Been burning the candle at both ends? You've overextendedyourself, Missis. You shouldn't have had a crack at poor old Magpiethere. [DOCTOR] Rubber soles, swear by them! [WIRE] Oh dear. Has our little plan gone horribly wrong, Doctor? [DIMBLEBY [OC]] Or coat of Chivalry of Cloth of Gold, lined with crimsonsatin. [ARCHBISHOP [OC]] Are you willing to do the same? [WIRE] No! [DOCTOR] It's close down, I'm afraid, and no epilogue. --------------------------------------- (Control room) [DOCTOR] What have I missed? [TOMMY] Doctor! What happened? [DOCTOR] Sorted. Electrical creature, TV technology, clever alien lifeform. That's me by the way. I turned the receiver back into atransmitter and I trapped the Wire in here. [DOCTOR] I just invented the home video thirty years early. Betamax. Oh,look. God save the Queen, eh? --------------------------------------- (Yard) [GRAN] Oh, it's my grandson, Oh, son! --------------------------------------- (Living room) [RITA] This was never your house. It's in my mother's name. And on herbehalf I'm telling you, out. --------------------------------------- (Florizel Street) [ROSE] We could go down the Mall, join in with the crowds. [DOCTOR] Nah, that's just pomp and circumstance. This is history righthere. [ROSE] The domestic approach. [DOCTOR] Exactly. [ROSE] Will it, that thing, is it trapped for good on video? [DOCTOR] Hope so. Just to be on the safe side though, I'll use myunrivalled knowledge of transtemporal extirpation methods to neutralisethe residual electronic pattern. [ROSE] You what? [DOCTOR] I'm going to tape over it. [ROSE] Just leave it to me. I'm always doing that. [DOCTOR] Tell you what, Tommy, you can have the scooter. Little present.Best, er, keep it in the garage for a few years though, eh? [TOMMY] Good riddance. [DOCTOR] Is that it, then, Tommy? New monarch, new age, new world. Noroom for a man like Eddie Connelly. [TOMMY] That's right. He deserves it. [ROSE] Tommy, go after him. [TOMMY] What for? [ROSE] He's your dad. [TOMMY] He's an idiot. [ROSE] Of course he is. Like I said, he's your dad. But you're clever.Clever enough to save the world, so don't stop there. Go on.

Doctor Who (3 Jun, 2006; Tenth Doctor) - The Impossible Planet [DOCTOR] I don't know what's wrong though. She's sort of queasy.Indigestion, like she didn'twant to land. [ROSE] Oh, if you think there's going to be trouble, we could always getback inside and go somewhere else. [DOCTOR] I think we've landed inside a cupboard. Here we go. --------------------------------------- (Junction) [COMPUTER] Open door 15. [DOCTOR] Some sort of base. Moon base, sea base, space base. They buildthese things out of kits. [COMPUTER] Close door 15. [ROSE] Glad we're indoors. sounds like a storm out there. [COMPUTER] Open door 16. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [DOCTOR] Human design. You've got a thing aboutkits. This place was put together like a flat pack wardrobe, onlybigger. And easier. --------------------------------------- (Habitation 3) [COMPUTER] Open door 17. [DOCTOR] Oh, it's a sanctuary base. [COMPUTER] Close door 17. [DOCTOR] Deep Space exploration. We've gone way out. And listen to that,underneath. Someone's drilling. [ROSE] Welcome to hell. [DOCTOR] Oh, it's not that bad. [ROSE] No, over there. [DOCTOR] Hold on, what does that say? That's weird, it won't translate. [ROSE] But I thought the Tardis translated everything, writing as well.We should see English. [DOCTOR] Exactly. If that's not working, then it means this writing isold. Very old. Impossibly old. We should find out who's in charge. [DOCTOR] We've gone beyond the reach of the Tardis' knowledge. Not agood move. And if someone's lucky enough [COMPUTER] Open door 19. [DOCTOR] Oh! Right. Hello. Sorry. I was just saying, er, nice base. [ALL OOD] We must feed. [DOCTOR] You've got to what? [ALL OOD] We must feed. [ROSE] Yeah. I think they mean us. [ALL OOD] We must feed. We must feed. We must feed. We must feed. [ALL OOD] We must feed. We must feed. We must feed. We must feed. Wemust feed. We must feed. We must feed. We must feed. We must feed. Wemust feed. [OOD] We must feed. [OOD] You, if you are hungry. [DOCTOR] Sorry? [OOD] We apologise. Electromagnetics have interfered with speechsystems. Would you like some refreshment? [DOCTOR] Er [COMPUTER] Open door 18. [JEFFERSON] What the hell? How did? [JEFFERSON] Captain, you're not going to believe this. We've got people.Out of nowhere. I mean, real people. I mean two living people, juststanding here right in front of me. [ZACH [OC]] Don't be stupid, that's impossible. [JEFFERSON] I suggest telling them that. [ROSE] But you're a sort of space base. You must have visitors now andthen. It can't be that impossible. [JEFFERSON] You're telling me you don't know where you are? [DOCTOR] No idea. More fun that way. [SCOOTI [on tannoy]] Stand by, everyone. Buckle down. We have incoming.And it's a big one. Quake point five on its way. [JEFFERSON] Through here, now. Quickly, come on! Move! --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [JEFFERSON] Move it! Come on! Keep moving. Come on! Quickly! Move it! --------------------------------------- (Control room) [ZACH] Oh, my God. You meant it. [SCOOTI] People! Look at that, real people! [DOCTOR] That's us. Hooray! [ROSE] Yeah, definitely real. My name's Rose. Rose Tyler. And, and thisis the Doctor. [DANNY] Come on the oxygen must be offline. We're hallucinating. Theycan't be. No, they're real. [ZACH] Come on, we're in the middle of an alert! Danny, strap up. Thequake's coming in! Impact in thirty seconds! Sorry you two, whoever youare. Just hold on, tight. [ROSE] Hold on to what? [ZACH] Anything. I don't care. Just hold on. Ood, are we fixed? [OOD] Your kindness in this emergency is much appreciated. [DOCTOR] What's this planet called, anyway? [IDA] Now, don't be stupid. It hasn't got a name. How could it have aname? You really don't know, do you? [ZACH] And impact! [DOCTOR] Oh, well, that wasn't so bad. [ZACH] Okay, that's it. Everyone all right? Speak to me, Ida. [IDA] Yeah, yeah! [ZACH] Danny? [DANNY] Fine. [ZACH] Toby? [TOBY] Yeah, fine. [ZACH] Scooti? [SCOOTI] No damage. [ZACH] Jefferson? [JEFFERSON] Check! [DOCTOR] We're fine, thanks, fine. Yeah, don't worry about us. [ZACH] The surface caved in. [ZACH] I deflected it onto storage five through eight. We've lost themcompletely. Toby, go and check the rocket link. [TOBY] That's not my department. [ZACH] Just do as I say, yeah? [IDA] Oxygen holding. Internal gravity fifty six point six. We should beokay. [ROSE] Never mind the earthquake, that's, that's one hell of a storm.What is that, a hurricane? [SCOOTI] You'd need an atmosphere for a hurricane. There's no air outthere. It's a complete vacuum. [ROSE] Then what's shaking the roof? [IDA] You're not joking. You really don't know. Well introductions. F YI, as they said in the olden days. I'm Ida Scott, science officer.Zachary Cross Flane, acting Captain, sir. You've met Mister Jefferson,he's Head of Security. Danny Bartock, Ethics committee. [DANNY] Not as boring as it sounds. [IDA] And that man who just left, that was Toby Zed, Archaeology, andthis is Scooti Manista, Trainee maintenance. And this? This is home. [ZACH] Brace yourselves. The sight of it sends some people mad. [ROSE] That's a black hole. [DOCTOR] But that's impossible. [ZACH] I did warn you. [DOCTOR] We're standing under a black hole. [IDA] In orbit. [DOCTOR] But we can't be [IDA] You can see for yourself. We're in orbit. [DOCTOR] But we can't be. [IDA] This lump of rock is suspended in perpetual geostationary orbitaround that black hole without falling in. Discuss. [ROSE] And that's bad, yeah? [DOCTOR] Bad doesn't cover it. A black hole's a dead star. It collapsesin on itself, in and in and in until the matter's so dense and tight itstarts to pull everything else in too. Nothing in the universe canescape it. Light, gravity, time. Everything just gets pulled inside andcrushed. [ROSE] So, they can't be in orbit. We should be pulled right in. [DOCTOR] We should be dead. [IDA] And yet here we are, beyond the laws of physics. Welcome on board. [ROSE] But if there's no atmosphere out there, what's that? [IDA] Stars breaking up. Gas clouds. We have whole solar systems beingripped apart above our heads, before falling into that thing. [ROSE] So, a bit worse than a storm, then. [IDA] Just a bit. [ROSE] Just a bit, yeah. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [VOICE [OC]] Toby. [TOBY] Who's that? Danny? --------------------------------------- (Control room) [COMPUTER] Close door 1. [TOBY] The rocket link's fine. [ZACH] That's the black hole, officially designated K three seven Genfive. [IDA] In the scriptures of the Falltino, this planet is called Kroptor,the bitter pill. And the black hole is supposed to be a mighty demon.It was tricked into devouring the planet, only to spit it out, becauseit was poison. [ROSE] The bitter pill. I like that. [DOCTOR] We are so far out. Lost in the drifts of the universe. How didyou even get here?! [ZACH] We flew in. You see, this planet's generating a gravity field. Wedon't know how. We've no idea. But it's kept in constant balanceagainst the black hole. And the field extends out there as a funnel. Adistinct gravity funnel, reaching out into clear space. That was ourway in. [ROSE] You flew down that thing? Like a rollercoaster. [ZACH] By rights, the ship should have been torn apart. We lost theCaptain, which is what put me in charge. [IDA] You're doing a good job. [ZACH] Yeah, well, needs must. [DANNY] But if that gravity funnel closes, there's no way out. [SCOOTI] We had fun speculating about that. [DANNY] Oh, yeah. That's the word. Fun. [DOCTOR] But that field would take phenomenal amounts of power. I meannot just big, but off the scale! Can I? [IDA] Sure. Help yourself. [OOD] Your refreshment. [ROSE] Oh, yeah. Thanks. Thank you. I'm sorry, what was your name? [OOD] We have no titles. We are as one. [ROSE] Er, what are they called? [DANNY] Oh, come on. Where have you been living? Everyone's got one. [ROSE] Well, not me, so, what are they? [DANNY] They're the Ood. [ROSE] The Ood? [DANNY] The Ood. [ROSE] Well that's ood. [DANNY] Very ood, but handy. They work the mine shafts. All the drillingand stuff. Supervision and maintenance. They're born for it. Basicslave race. [ROSE] You've got slaves? [SCOOTI] Don't start. She's like one of that lot. Friends of the Ood. [ROSE] Well maybe I am, yeah. Since when do humans need slaves? [DANNY] But the Ood offer themselves. If you don't give them orders,they just pine away and die. [ROSE] Seriously, you like being ordered about? [OOD] It is all we crave. [ROSE] Why's that, then? [OOD] We have nothing else in life. [ROSE] Yeah, well, I used to think like that, a long time ago. [DOCTOR] There we go. Do you see? To generate that gravity field, andthe funnel, you'd need a power source with an inverted selfextrapolating reflex of six to the power of six every six seconds. [ROSE] That's a lot of sixes. [DOCTOR] And it's impossible. [ZACH] It took us two years to work that out [DOCTOR] I'm very good. [IDA] But that's why we're here. This power source is ten miles belowthrough solid rock. Point Zero. We're drilling down to try and find it. [ZACH] It's giving off readings of over ninety stats on the Blazonscale. [IDA] It could revolutionise modern science. [JEFFERSON] We could use it to fuel the Empire. [DOCTOR] Or start a war. [TOBY] It's buried beneath us, in the darkness, waiting. [ROSE] What's your job, chief dramatist? [TOBY] Well, whatever it is down there is not a natural phenomena. Andthis, er, planet once supported life eons ago, before the human racehad even learned to walk. [DOCTOR] I saw that lettering written on the wall. Did you do that? [TOBY] I copied it from fragments we found unearthed by the drilling,but I can't translate it. [DOCTOR] No, neither can I. And that's saying something. [TOBY] There was some form of civilisation. They buried something. Nowit's reaching out, calling us in. [DOCTOR] And you came. [IDA] Well, how could we not? [DOCTOR] So, when it comes right down to it, why did you come here? Whydid you do that? Why? I'll tell you why. Because it was there.Brilliant. Excuse me, er, Zach, wasn't it? [ZACH] That's me. [DOCTOR] Just stand there, because I'm going to hug you. Is that allright? [ZACH] I suppose so. [DOCTOR] Here we go. Come on, then. [DOCTOR] Oh, human beings. You are amazing! Ha! Thank you. [ZACH] Not at all. [DOCTOR] But apart from that, you're completely mad. You should packyour bags, get back in that ship and fly for your lives. [IDA] You can talk. And how the hell did you get here? [DOCTOR] Oh, I've got this er, this ship. It's hard to explain. It justsort of appears. [ROSE] We can show you, we parked down the corridor from er. Oh, what'sit called? Habitation area [DOCTOR] Three. [ROSE] Three. Three. [ZACH] Do you mean storage six? [DOCTOR] It was a bit of a cupboard, yeah. Storage six. But you said.You said. You said storage five to eight. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [ROSE] What is it? What's wrong? --------------------------------------- (Habitation 3) [COMPUTER] Open door 19. Close door 19. [DOCTOR] Open the door! Come on! [COMPUTER] Open door 17. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [COMPUTER] Open door 15. Door 16 out of commission. [DOCTOR] It can't be. It can't be! [ROSE] What's wrong? What is it? Doctor, the Tardis is in there. What'shappened? [DOCTOR] The Tardis is gone. [COMPUTER] Door 16 out of commission. [DOCTOR] The earthquake. This section collapsed. [ROSE] But it's got to be out there somewhere. [DOCTOR] Look down. --------------------------------------- (Control room) [DOCTOR] The ground gave way. My Tardis must'vefallen down right into the heart of the planet. But you've got robotdrills heading the same way. [ZACH] We can't divert the drilling. [DOCTOR] But I need my ship. It's all I've got. Literally the onlything. [ZACH] Doctor, we've only got the resources to drill one central shaftdown to the power source, and that's it. No diversions, nodistractions, no exceptions. Your machine is lost. All I can do isoffer you a lift if we ever get to leave this place, and that is theend of it. [IDA] I'll er, put you on the duty roster. We need someone in thelaundry. [COMPUTER] Open door 1. Close door 1. [DOCTOR] I've trapped you here. [ROSE] No, don't worry about me. [ROSE] Okay, we're on a planet that shouldn't exist, under a black holeand no way out. Yeah, I've changed my mind. Start worrying about me. --------------------------------------- (Outside the base) [COMPUTER] Entering night shift. Your chosen trackfor transition is Ravel's Bolero. [SCOOTI] All finished. Coming back inside. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [DANNY] Ood 7 Gamma 10. Ood 7 Gamma 11. Ood 7 Gamma 12. --------------------------------------- (Toby's quarters) [VOICE [OC]] Toby. I can see you [TOBY] Danny, is that you? It's, it's not funny, all right? Dan? --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [TOBY] I'm. I'm trying to work, Daniel. Look, if, if that's you, thencan you just stop it ? --------------------------------------- (Habitation 3) [ZACH [OC]] Danny, check the temperature in Ood Habitation. It seems tobe rising. [SCOOTI] Help yourself. Just don't have the green. Or the blue. [ROSE] Er, bit of that, thanks. [OOD] Would you like sauce with that? [ROSE] I'll have a go, yeah. I did that job once. I was a, a dinnerlady. Not that I'm calling you a lady. Although, Idon't know, you might be. Do you actually get paid, though? Do theygive you money? [OOD] The Beast and his Armies shall rise from the Pit to make waragainst God. [ROSE] I'm sorry? [OOD] Apologies. I said, I hope you enjoy your meal. [ROSE] Yeah. --------------------------------------- (Control room) [COMPUTER] Drill head now at point sixteen. Drillhead speed increasing. [ZACH] Keep pressure at sixty. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [COMPUTER] Close door 3. [DANNY] I've closed door 3. [COMPUTER] He is awake. [DANNY] What did you say? [COMPUTER] Close door 3. --------------------------------------- (Toby's quarters) [VOICE [OC]] Toby. Don't turn around. [TOBY] Dan? That's not Dan. [VOICE [OC]] Don't look at me. [TOBY] Who are you? [VOICE [OC]] I have so many names. [TOBY] If if I could [VOICE [OC]] If you look at me, you will die. [TOBY] But who are you? [VOICE [OC]] I'm behind you, Toby. I'm right behind you. Don't look.Don't look at me. One look and you will die. I'm reaching out, Toby.I'm so close. Don't turn around. Oh, I can touch you. --------------------------------------- (Habitation 3) [(The lights flicker.)IDA] Zach? Have we got a problem? [ZACH [OC]] No more than usual. Got the Scarlet System burning up. Mightbe worth a look. [IDA] You might want to see this. Moment in history. [IDA] There. On the edge. That red cloud. That used to be the ScarletSystem. Home to the Peluchi, a mighty civilisation spanning a billionyears, disappearing forever. Their planets and suns consumed. Ladiesand gentlemen, we have witnessed its passing. [DOCTOR] Er, no, could you leave it open? Just for a bit. I won't gomad, I promise. [IDA] How would you know? Scooti, check the lockdown. Jefferson, signoff the airlock seals for me. [COMPUTER] Open door 18. [ROSE] I've seen films and things, yeah. They say black holes are likegateways to another universe. [COMPUTER] Close door 18. [DOCTOR] Not that one. It just eats. [ROSE] Long way from home. [DOCTOR] Go that way, turn right, keep going for er, about, er, fivehundred years, and you'll reach the Earth. [ROSE] No signal. That's the first time we've gone out of range. Mindyou, even if I could. What would I tell her? Can you build anotherTardis? [DOCTOR] They were grown, not built. And with my own planet gone, we'rekind of stuck. [ROSE] Well, it could be worse. This lot said they'd give us a lift. [DOCTOR] And then what? [ROSE] I don't know. Find a planet, get a job, live a life, same as therest of the universe. [DOCTOR] I'd have to settle down. Get a house or something. A properhouse with, with doors and things. Carpets. Me, living in a house. Nowthat, that is terrifying. [ROSE] You'd have to get a mortgage. [DOCTOR] No. [ROSE] Oh, yes. [DOCTOR] I'm dying. That's it. I'm dying. It is all over. [ROSE] What about me? I'd have to get one, too. I don't know, could bethe same one. We could both, Idon't know, share. Or not, you know. Whatever. I don't know. We'll sortsomething out [DOCTOR] Anyway. [ROSE] We'll see. [DOCTOR] I promised Jackie I'd always take you back home. [ROSE] Everyone leaves home in the end. [DOCTOR] Not to end up stuck here. [ROSE] Yeah, but stuck with you, that's not so bad. [DOCTOR] Yeah? [ROSE] Yes. [VOICE [OC]] He is awake. --------------------------------------- (Ood habitation) [DOCTOR] Evening. [ROSE] Only us. [DANNY] The mysterious couple. How are you, then? Settling in? [DOCTOR] Yeah. Sorry, straight to business, the Ood how do theycommunicate? I mean, with each other. [DANNY] Oh, just empaths. There's a low level telepathic fieldconnecting them. Not that that does them much good. They're basically aherd race. Like cattle. [DOCTOR] This telepathic field. Can it pick up messages? [ROSE] Because I was having dinner, and one of the Ood said something,well, odd. [DANNY] Hmm. An odd Ood. [ROSE] And then I got something else on my er, 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. Look, ifthere was something wrong, it would show. We monitor the telepathicfield. It's the only way to look after them. They're so stupid, theydon't even tell us when they're ill. [DOCTOR] Monitor the field. That's this thing? [DANNY] Yeah. But like I said, it's low level telepathy. They onlyregister basic five. [DOCTOR] Well, that's not basic five. Ten, twenty. They've gone up tobasic thirty. [DANNY] But they can't. [ROSE] Doctor, the Ood. What does basic thirty mean? [DANNY] Well, it means that they're shouting, screaming inside theirheads. [DOCTOR] Or something's shouting at them. [DANNY] But where is it coming from? What is it saying? What did it sayto you? [ROSE] Something about the beast in the pit. [DANNY] What about your communicator? What did that say? [ROSE] He is awake. [ALL OOD] And you will worship him. [DANNY] What the hell? [DOCTOR] He is awake. [ALL OOD] And you will worship him. [DOCTOR] Worship who? (no reply) Who's talking to you? Who is it? --------------------------------------- (Toby's quarters) [SCOOTI] Toby, I've got your expenditure [COMPUTER] Open door 41. Close door 41. [SCOOTI] Forty one? --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [COMPUTER] Close Door 40. [SCOOTI] Computer, did you open and close door 41? [COMPUTER] Confirmed. [SCOOTI] But that's the airlock. Why would you open the airlock? It'sthe night shift. We're not allowed outside. Has someone gone out? [COMPUTER] Confirmed. [SCOOTI] But who was it? [COMPUTER] Cannot confirm. [SCOOTI] Okay. But hold on. I know. Tell me whose spacesuit's beenlogged out. [COMPUTER] No spacesuit has been logged out. [SCOOTI] But you're not making any sense. You can't go outside without.Zach, I think we've got breakdown on door 41. It's saying somebody'sgone outside onto the planet's surface. Zach? Zach! Computer, tracefault. [COMPUTER] There is no fault. [SCOOTI] Tell me who went through that door. [COMPUTER] He is awake. [SCOOTI] What? [COMPUTER] He is awake. [SCOOTI] What's that supposed to mean? [COMPUTER] He bathes in the black sun. [SCOOTI] Toby. But there's no air, there's no [SCOOTI] No! Stop it! You can't be! [SCOOTI] Open door 40! Open door 40! Open door 40! Open door 40! Opendoor 40! --------------------------------------- (Ood Habitation) [COMPUTER] Emergency hull breach. Emergency hull breach. [DANNY] Which section? --------------------------------------- (Control room) [ZACH] Everyone, evacuate eleven to thirteen. We'vegot a breach. The base is open. Repeat, the base is open! --------------------------------------- (Habitation 3) [COMPUTER] Open door 19. [COMPUTER] Close door 19. --------------------------------------- (Control room) [ZACH] I can't contain the oxygen field. We're goingto lose it. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [JEFFERSON] Come on! Keep moving! [JEFFERSON] And you too, Toby! [COMPUTER] Breach sealed. Breach sealed. [DOCTOR] Everyone all right?! What happened? What was it? [COMPUTER] Oxygen levels normal. [JEFFERSON] Hull breach. We were open to the elements. Another couple ofminutes and we'd have beeninspecting that black hole at close quarters. [DOCTOR] That wasn't a quake. What caused it? --------------------------------------- (Control room) [ZACH] We've lost sections eleven to thirteenEveryone all right? --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [JEFFERSON] We've got everyone here except Scooti.Scooti, report. Scooti Manista? That's an order. Report. [ZACH [OC]] She's all right. I've picked up her biochip. She's in --------------------------------------- (Control room) [ZACH] Habitation three. Better go and check ifshe's not responding. She might be unconscious. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [ZACH] How about that, eh? We survived. [JEFFERSON] Habitation three. Come on. I don't often say this, but Ithink we could all do with a drink. Come on. [DOCTOR] What happened? [TOBY] I don't. I don't know. I was working and then I can't remember.All that noise. The room was falling apart. There was no air [ROSE] Come on. Up you get. Come and have some protein one. [DOCTOR] Oh, you've gone native. [ROSE] Oi, don't knock it. It's nice. Protein one with just a dash ofthree. --------------------------------------- (Habitation 3) [IDA] I've checked Habitation four. Can you hear me? [JEFFERSON] There's no sign of her. The biochip says she's in the area.Have any of you seen Scooti? [TOBY] No, no, no, I don't think so. [IDA] Scooti, please respond. If you can hear this, please respond.Habitation six. [JEFFERSON] Nowhere here. Zach? We've got a problem. Scooti's stillmissing. [ZACH [OC]] It says Habitation three. [JEFFERSON] Yeah, well, that's where I am, and I'm telling you she's nothere. [DOCTOR] I've found her. [ROSE] Oh, my God. [DOCTOR] I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. [JEFFERSON] Captain. Report Officer Scootori Manista PKD, deceased.Forty three K two point one. [IDA] She was twenty. Twenty years old. [JEFFERSON] For how should man die better than facing fearful odds? Forthe ashes of his father and the temples of his Gods. [IDA] It's stopped. [ROSE] What was that? What was it? [DOCTOR] The drill. [IDA] We've stopped drilling. We've made it. Point Zero. --------------------------------------- (Drilling area) [ZACH [over tannoy]] All non essential Oods to beconfined. [IDA] Capsule established. All systems functioning. The mineshaft is go.Bring systems online now. [DOCTOR] Reporting as a volunteer for the expeditionary force. [ZACH] Doctor, this is breaking every single protocol. We don't evenknow who you are. [DOCTOR] Yeah, but you trust me, don't you? And you can't let Ida godown there on her own. Go on. Look me in the eye. Yes you do, I can seeit. Trust. [ZACH] I should be going down. [DOCTOR] The Captain doesn't lead the mission. He stays here, in charge. [ZACH] Not much good at it, am I? Positions! We're going down in two.Everyone, positions! Mister Jefferson! I want maximum systemenhancement. [DOCTOR] Oxygen, nitro balance, gravity. It's ages since I wore one ofthese. [ROSE] I want that spacesuit back in one piece, you got that? [DOCTOR] Yes, sir. [ROSE] It's funny, because people back home think that space travel'sgoing to be all whizzing about and teleports and anti gravity, but it'snot, is it? It's tough. [DOCTOR] I'll see you later. [ROSE] Not if I see you first. --------------------------------------- (Ood Habitation) [DANNY] You will remain here. No command canoverride this. Have you got that? My instructions only. --------------------------------------- (Control room) [ZACH] Capsule active. Counting down in ten, nine --------------------------------------- (Drilling area) [ZACH [OC]] Eight, seven, six [ZACH [OC]] Five, four, three, two, one. Release. --------------------------------------- (Control room) [ZACH] You've gone beyond the oxygen field. You'reon your own. --------------------------------------- (Drilling area) [ROSE] Don't forget to breath. Breathing's good. --------------------------------------- (Control room) [ZACH] Rose, stay off the comm. --------------------------------------- (Drilling area) [ROSE] No chance. [ROSE] Doctor? Doctor, are you all right? --------------------------------------- (Control room) [ZACH] Ida, report to me. Doctor? --------------------------------------- (Point Zero) [DOCTOR] It's all right. We've made it. Getting outof the capsule now. [ROSE [OC]] What's it like down there? [DOCTOR] It's hard to tell. Some sort of cave. Cavern. It's massive. [IDA] Well, this should help. Gravity globe. [IDA] That's, that's. My God, that's beautiful. [DOCTOR] Rose, you can tell Toby we've found his civilisation --------------------------------------- (Drilling area) [ROSE] Oi, Toby. Sounds like you've got plenty ofwork. [TOBY] Good, good. Good. --------------------------------------- (Control room) [ZACH] Concentrate now, people. Keep on the mission.Ida, what about the power source? --------------------------------------- (Point Zero) [IDA] We're close. Energy signature indicates northnorth west. Are you getting pictures up there? [ZACH [OC]] There's too much interference. We're in your hands. [IDA] Well, we've come this far. There's no turning back. [DOCTOR] Oh, did you have to? No turning back? That's almost as bad asnothing can possible go wrong, or this isgoing to be the best Christmas Walford's ever had. [IDA] Are you finished? [DOCTOR] Yeah. Finished. --------------------------------------- (Ood Habitation) [DANNY] Captain, sir. There's something happeningwith the Ood. --------------------------------------- (Control room) [ZACH] What are they doing? --------------------------------------- (Ood Habitation) [DANNY] They're staring at me. I've told them tostop, but they won't. [ZACH [OC]] Danny, you're a big boy. --------------------------------------- (Control room) [ZACH] I think you can take being stared at. --------------------------------------- (Ood Habitation) [DANNY] But the telepathic field, sir. It's at basicone hundred. I've checked. there isn't any fault. It's definitely onehundred. --------------------------------------- (Drilling area) [ZACH [OC]] But that's impossible. [ROSE] What's basic one hundred mean? --------------------------------------- (Ood Habitation) [DANNY] They should be dead. --------------------------------------- (Drilling area) [JEFFERSON] Basic one hundred's brain death. --------------------------------------- (Control room) [ZACH] But they're safe. They're not actuallymoving? --------------------------------------- (Ood Habitation) [DANNY] No, sir. --------------------------------------- (Control room) [ZACH] Keep watching them. And you, Jefferson? --------------------------------------- (Drilling area) [ZACH [OC]] Keep a guard on the Ood. [JEFFERSON] Officer at arms! [CREWMAN] Yes, sir. [ROSE] You can't fire a gun in here. What if you hit a wall? [JEFFERSON] I'm firing stock fifteen. It only impacts upon organics.Keep watch. Guard them. [GUARD] Yes, sir. [DOCTOR [OC]] Is everything all right up there? [ROSE] Yeah, yeah. --------------------------------------- (Control room) [ZACH] It's fine. --------------------------------------- (Ood Habitation) [DANNY] Great. --------------------------------------- (Point Zero) [DOCTOR] We've found something. It looks like metal. Like some sort ofseal. I've got a nasty feeling the word might be trapdoor. Not a goodword, trapdoor. Never met a trapdoor I liked. [IDA] The edge is covered with those symbols. [ZACH [OC]] Do you think it opens? [DOCTOR] That's what trapdoors tend to do. [IDA] Trapdoor doesn't do it justice. It's massive, Zach. About thirtyfeet in diameter. [ZACH [OC]] Any way of opening it? [IDA] I don't know. I can't see any sort of mechanism. [DOCTOR] I suppose that's the writing. It'll tell us what to do. Theletters that defy translation. --------------------------------------- (Control room) [ZACH] Toby, did you get anywhere with decoding it? --------------------------------------- (Drilling area) [ROSE] Toby, they need to know that lettering. Doesit make any sort of sense? [TOBY] I know what it says. [ROSE] Then tell them. [JEFFERSON] When did you work that out? [ROSE] It doesn't matter, just tell them. [TOBY] These are the words of the Beast. And he has woken. He is theheart that beats in the darkness. He is the blood that will nevercease. And now he will rise. [JEFFERSON] Officer, stand down. Stand down. --------------------------------------- (Point Zero) [DOCTOR] What is it? What's he done? What'shappening? Rose, what's going on? --------------------------------------- (Control room) [ZACH] Jefferson? Report. Report! --------------------------------------- (Drilling area) [JEFFERSON] Officer, as Commander of Security, Iorder you to stand down and be confined. Immediately! [ROSE] He's come out in those symbols all over his face. They're allover him. [TOBY] Mister Jefferson. Tell me, sir. Did your wife ever forgive you? [JEFFERSON] I don't know what you mean. [TOBY] Let me tell you a secret. She never did. [JEFFERSON] Officer, you stand down and be confined. [TOBY] Or what? [JEFFERSON] Or under the strictures of Condition Red, I am authorised toshoot you. [TOBY] But how many can you kill? --------------------------------------- (Ood Habitation) [ALL OOD] We are the Legion of the Beast. --------------------------------------- (Point Zero) [DOCTOR] Rose? What is it, Rose? I'm going back up. [ZACH [OC]] Report. Report! --------------------------------------- (Control room) [ZACH] Jefferson, report. Someone, report! --------------------------------------- (Ood Habitation) [ALL OOD] The Legion shall be many, and the Legionshall be few. --------------------------------------- (Drilling area) [ROSE] It's the Ood. [JEFFERSON] Sir, we have contamination in the livestock. [ROSE] Doctor, I don't know what it is. It's like they're possessed. [JEFFERSON] They won't listen to us. --------------------------------------- (Ood Habitation) [ALL OOD] He has woven himself in the fabric of yourlife since the dawn of time. Some may call him Abaddon. Some may callhim Kroptor. Some may call him Satan or Lucifer. [DANNY] Captain, it's the Ood. They're out of control! [OOD] Or the Bringer of Despair, the Deathless Prince, the Bringer ofNight. [OOD] These are the words that shall set him free. --------------------------------------- (Drilling area) [JEFFERSON] Back up to the door! [ALL OOD] I shall become manifest. [JEFFERSON] Move quickly! [ALL OOD] I shall walk in might. [JEFFERSON] To the door! Get it open! [ALL OOD] My Legions shall swarm across the worlds. --------------------------------------- (Point Zero) [IDA] Doctor, it's opening! --------------------------------------- (Control room) [ZACH] We're moving! The whole thing's moving. Theplanet's moving. --------------------------------------- (Drilling area) [ALL OOD] I am the sin and the temptation and thedesire. I am the pain and the loss and the [JEFFERSON] Get that door open! --------------------------------------- (Control room) [ZACH] The gravity field. It's going! We're losingorbit! We're going to fall into the black hole! --------------------------------------- (Drilling area) [ALL OOD] I have been imprisoned for eternity. Butno more. [COMPUTER] Door sealed. [ROSE] Come on!

Doctor Who (10 Jun, 2006; Tenth Doctor) - The Satan Pit [JEFFERSON] Open fire! --------------------------------------- (Control room) [ZACH] We're stabilising [ZACH] We've got orbit. --------------------------------------- (Drilling area) [ROSE] Doctor? Doctor, can you hear me? Doctor, Ida, are you there? [COMPUTER] Open door 25. [DANNY] It's me! But they're coming. [COMPUTER] Close door 25. [DANNY] It's the Ood. They've gone mad. [JEFFERSON] How many of them? [DANNY] All of them! All fifty! [JEFFERSON] Danny, out of the way. Out of the way! [DANNY] But they're armed! It's the interface device. I don't know how,but they're using it as a weapon. [COMPUTER] Open door 25. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [COMPUTER] Close door 1. --------------------------------------- (Control room) [COMPUTER] Open door 1. Close door 1. [ZACH] Lock down. Seal door 1. [COMPUTER] Lock down. Door 1. [JEFFERSON [OC]] Seal door 24. Seal door 23. [ZACH] Jefferson, what's happening there? --------------------------------------- (Drilling area) [JEFFERSON] I've got very little ammunition, sir.How about you? --------------------------------------- (Control room) [ZACH] All I've got is a bolt gun. With er, all ofone bolt. I could take out a grand total of one Ood. Fat lot of goodthat is. [JEFFERSON [OC]] Given the emergency --------------------------------------- (Drilling area) [JEFFERSON] I recommend strategy nine. --------------------------------------- (Control room) [ZACH] Strategy Nine --------------------------------------- (Drilling area) [ZACH [OC]] Agreed. Right, we need to get --------------------------------------- (Control room) [ZACH] Everyone together. Rose? What about Ida andthe --------------------------------------- (Drilling area) [ZACH [OC]] Doctor? Any word? [ROSE] I can't get a reply. Just nothing. I keep trying, but it's [DOCTOR [OC]] (static) No, sorry, I'm fine. Still here. [ROSE] You could've said, you stupid --------------------------------------- (Point Zero) [DOCTOR] (feedback) Whoa. Careful! Anyway, it's bothof us. Me and Ida. Hello. But the seal opened up. It's gone. All we'vegot left is this chasm. [ZACH [OC]] How deep is it? [DOCTOR] Can't tell. It looks like it goes down forever. [ROSE [OC]] The pit is open. --------------------------------------- (Drilling area) [ROSE] That's what the voice said. --------------------------------------- (Control room) [ZACH] But there's nothing. I mean --------------------------------------- (Point Zero) [ZACH [OC]] There's nothing coming out? [DOCTOR] No, no. No sign of the Beast. --------------------------------------- (Drilling area) [ROSE] It said Satan. --------------------------------------- (Point Zero) [DOCTOR] Come on, Rose. Keep it --------------------------------------- (Drilling area) [DOCTOR [OC]] Together. [ROSE] Is there no such thing? Doctor. --------------------------------------- (Point Zero) [ROSE [OC]] Doctor, tell me there's no such thing. --------------------------------------- (Control room) [ZACH] Ida? --------------------------------------- (Point Zero) [ZACH [OC]] I recommend that you withdraw. --------------------------------------- (Control room) [ZACH] Immediately. --------------------------------------- (Point Zero) [IDA] But, we've come all this way. [ZACH [OC]] Okay --------------------------------------- (Control room) [ZACH] That was an order. Withdraw. When that thingopened, the whole planet's shifted. One more inch and we fall into theblack hole. So this thing stops right now. --------------------------------------- (Point Zero) [IDA] But it's not much better up there with theOod. --------------------------------------- (Control room) [ZACH] I'm initiating strategy --------------------------------------- (Point Zero) [ZACH [OC]] Nine, so I need the two of you back uptop immediately, no ar --------------------------------------- (Control room) [ZACH] Ida. Ida! --------------------------------------- (Point Zero) [IDA] What do you think? [DOCTOR] I think they've an order. [IDA] Yeah, but what do you think? [DOCTOR] It said, I am the temptation. [IDA] Well, if there's something in there, why is it still hiding? [DOCTOR] Maybe we opened the prison but not the cell. [IDA] We should go down. I'd go. What about you? [DOCTOR] Oh. Oh, in a second, but then again, that is so human. Whereangels fear to tread. Even now, standing on the edge. It's that feelingyou get, eh? Right at the back of your head. That impulse. That strangelittle impulse. That mad little voice saying, go on. Go on. Go on. Goover. Go on. Maybe it's relying on that. For once in my life, OfficerScott, I'm going to say retreat. Oh, now I know I'm getting old. Rose,we're coming back. --------------------------------------- (Drilling area) [ROSE] Best news I've heard all day. [ROSE] What're you doing? [JEFFERSON] He's infected. He brought that thing on board. You saw it. [ROSE] Are you going to start shooting your own people now, Is that whatyou're going todo? Is it? [JEFFERSON] If necessary. [ROSE] Well then, you'll have to shoot me if necessary, so what's itgoing to be? Look at his face. Whatever it was, is gone. It passed intothe Ood. You saw it happen. He's clean. [JEFFERSON] Any sign of trouble, I'll shoot him. [ROSE] Are you all right? [TOBY] Yeah. I don't know. [ROSE] Can you remember anything? [TOBY] Just, it was so angry. It was fury and rage and death. It washim. It was the devil. [ROSE] Come on. --------------------------------------- (Point Zero) [DOCTOR] What's strategy nine? [IDA] Open the airlocks. We'll be safe inside the lock down. The Oodwill get thrown out into the vacuum. [DOCTOR] So we're going back to a slaughter? [IDA] The devil's work. --------------------------------------- (Drilling area) [IDA [OC]] Okay, we're in. Bring us up. [JEFFERSON] Ascension in three, two, one. [VOICE [OC]] This is the darkness. This is my domain. [VOICE [OC]] You little things that live in the light, clinging to yourfeeble suns which die in the [ZACH [OC]] That's not the Ood. Something's talking through them. --------------------------------------- (Control room) [VOICE [OC]] Only the darkness remains. [ZACH] This is Captain Zachary Cross Flane of Sanctuary Base Six,representing the Torchwood archive. You will identify yourself. [VOICE [OC]] You know my name. [ZACH] What do you want? [VOICE [OC]] You will die here. All of you. This planet is your grave. [TOBY] It's him. It's him. It's him. --------------------------------------- (Capsule) [DOCTOR] If you are the Beast, then answer me this.Which one, hmm? Cos the universe has been busy since you've been gone.There's more religions than there are planets in the sky. TheArchiphets,Orkology, Christianity, Pash Pash, New Judaism, San Klah, Church of theTin Vagabond. Which devil are you? [VOICE [OC]] All of them. [DOCTOR] What, then you're the truth behind the myth? [VOICE [OC]] This one knows me as I know him. The killer of his ownkind. [DOCTOR] How did you end up on this rock? [VOICE [OC]] The Disciples of the Light rose up against me and chainedme in the pit for all eternity. [DOCTOR] When was this? [VOICE [OC]] Before time. [DOCTOR] What does that mean? [VOICE [OC]] Before time. [DOCTOR] What does before time mean? [VOICE [OC]] Before light and time and space and matter. Before thecataclysm. Before this universe was created. [DOCTOR] That's impossible. No life could have existed back then. [VOICE [OC]] Is that your religion? [DOCTOR] It's a belief. --------------------------------------- (Control room) [VOICE [OC]] You know nothing. All of you, so small.The Captain, so scared of command. --------------------------------------- (Drilling area) [VOICE [OC]] The soldier, haunted by the eyes of hiswife. (Jefferson) The scientist, still running from Daddy. (Ida) Thelittle boy who lied. (Danny) The virgin. (Toby) And the lost girl, sofar away from home. (Rose) The valiant child who will die in battle sovery soon. [ROSE] Doctor, what does that mean? --------------------------------------- (Capsule) [DOCTOR] Rose, don't listen. --------------------------------------- (Drilling area) [ROSE] What does it mean? [VOICE [OC]] You will die and I will live. [DANNY] What the hell was that? [TOBY] I had that thing inside my head. [ROSE] Doctor, what did it mean? [DANNY] What do we do? Jefferson? [JEFFERSON] Captain? What's the situation on strategy nine? [DANNY] Zach, what do we do? [TOBY] The planet, the orbit, the black hole. Everything's true. [JEFFERSON] Captain, report. --------------------------------------- (Control room) [ZACH] We've lost pictures, Mister Jefferson. --------------------------------------- (Drilling area) [ROSE] Doctor, how did it know all of --------------------------------------- (Capsule) [IDA] Did anyone get an anal --------------------------------------- (Control room) [ZACH] Jefferson. --------------------------------------- (Capsule) [DOCTOR] Stop. --------------------------------------- (Drilling area) [ROSE] What did it mean? --------------------------------------- (Capsule) [DOCTOR] Everyone just stop. --------------------------------------- (Drilling area) [DANNY] What do we do? [JEFFERSON] Report. [DOCTOR [OC]] You want voices in the dark --------------------------------------- (Capsule) [DOCTOR] Then listen to mine. That thing is playingon very basic fears. Darkness, childhood nightmares, all that stuff. --------------------------------------- (Drilling area) [DANNY] But that's how the devil works. --------------------------------------- (Capsule) [DOCTOR] Or a good psychologist. [IDA] Yeah, but how did it know about my father? [DOCTOR] Okay, but what makes his version of the truth any better thanmine, hmm? Cos I'll tell you what I can see. Humans. --------------------------------------- (Drilling area) [DOCTOR [OC]] Brilliant humans. Humans who travelall the way across space, flying in a tiny little rocket --------------------------------------- (Control room) [DOCTOR [OC]] Right into the orbit of a --------------------------------------- (Capsule) [DOCTOR] Black hole, just for the sake of discovery.That's amazing! --------------------------------------- (Drilling area) [DOCTOR [OC]] Do you hear me? --------------------------------------- (Capsule) [DOCTOR] Amazing, all of you. The Captain, hisOfficer, his elders, his juniors, his friends. All with one advantage.The Beast is alone. We are not. If we can use that to fight against him [IDA] The cable's snapped! [DOCTOR] Get out! --------------------------------------- (Drilling area) [ROSE] Doctor, we lost the cable! Doctor, are youall right? Doctor! --------------------------------------- (Control room) [ZACH] Comms are down. [ROSE [OC]] Doctor? Doctor, can you hear me? [ZACH] I've still got life signs, but we've lost the capsule. [ROSE [OC]] Say something. Are you there? [ZACH] There's no way out. They're stuck down there. --------------------------------------- (Point Zero) [DOCTOR] How much air have we got? [IDA] Sixty minutes. Fifty five. --------------------------------------- (Drilling area) [ROSE] But we've got to bring them back. [JEFFERSON] They're ten miles down. We haven't got another ten miles ofcable. [JEFFERSON] Captain? Situation report. --------------------------------------- (Control room) [ZACH] It's the Ood. They're cutting through the door bolts. They'rebreaking in. --------------------------------------- (Drilling area) [JEFFERSON] Yeah, it's the same on door 25. [ROSE] How long's it going to take? [JEFFERSON] Well, it's only a basic frame, it should take ten minutes. [JEFFERSON] Eight. --------------------------------------- (Control room) [ZACH] I've got a security frame. It might last abit longer, but that doesn't help you. --------------------------------------- (Drilling area) [ROSE] Right. So we need to stop them, or get out,or both. [DANNY] I'll take both, yeah? But how? [ROSE] You heard the Doctor. Why do you think that thing cut him off?Cos he was making sense. He was telling you to think your way out ofthis. Come on! For starters, we need some lights. There's got to besome sort of power somewhere. --------------------------------------- (Control room) [ZACH] There's nothing I can do. Some Captain, stuckin here, pressing buttons. --------------------------------------- (Drilling area) [ROSE] That's what the Doctor meant. Press the rightbuttons. --------------------------------------- (Control room) [ZACH] They've gutted the generators. But therocket's got an independent supply. If I could reroute that.Mister Jefferson? --------------------------------------- (Drilling area) [ZACH [OC]] Open the bypass conduits. Override thesafety. [JEFFERSON] Opening bypass conduits, sir. --------------------------------------- (Control room) [ZACH] Channelling rocket feed in three, two, one.Power. --------------------------------------- (Drilling area) [ROSE] There we go. --------------------------------------- (Control room) [DANNY [OC]] Let there be light! [ROSE [OC]] What about --------------------------------------- (Drilling area) [ROSE] That strategy nine thing? [JEFFERSON] Not enough power. It needs a hundred percent. [ROSE] All right, we need a way out. Zach, Mister Jefferson, you startworking on that. Toby, what about you? [TOBY] I'm not a soldier. I can't do anything. [ROSE] No, you're the archeologist. What do you know about the pit? [TOBY] Well, nothing. We can't even translate the language. [ROSE] Right. [TOBY] Hold on. Maybe. [ROSE] What is it? [TOBY] Since that thing was inside my head, it's like the letters mademore sense. [ROSE] Well, get to work. Anything you can translate, just anything. Asfor you, Danny boy. You're in charge of the Ood. Any way of stoppingthem? [DANNY] Well, I don't know. [ROSE] Then find out. The sooner we get control of the Base, the soonerwe can get the Doctor out. Shift. --------------------------------------- (Point Zero) [IDA] Well, we've got all this cable, we might aswell use it. The drum's disconnected. We could adapt it, feed itthrough. [DOCTOR] And then what? [IDA] Abseil into the pit. [DOCTOR] Abseil. Right. [IDA] We're running out of air with no way back. It's the only thing wecan do. Even if it's the last thing we ever achieve. [DOCTOR] I'll get back. Rose is up there. [IDA] Well, maybe the key to that is finding out what's in the pit. [DOCTOR] Well, it's half of a good plan. [IDA] What's the other half? [DOCTOR] I go down, not you. --------------------------------------- (Drilling area) [JEFFERSON] Open junctions five, six, seven. Reroutefilters sixteen to twenty four. Go. [DANNY] There's all sorts of viruses that could stop the Ood. Troubleis, we haven't got them on board. [ROSE] Well, that's handy, listing all the things we haven't got. Wehaven't got a swimming pool either. Or aTesco's. [DANNY] Oh, my God. It says yes. I can do it. Hypothetically, if youflip the monitor, broadcast a flare, it can disrupt the telepathy.Brainstorm! [ROSE] What happens to the Ood? [DANNY] It'll tank them spark out. [ROSE] There we are, then. Do it! [DANNY] No, but I'd have to transmit from the central monitor. We needto go to Ood Habitation. [ROSE] That's what we'll do, then. Mister Jefferson, sir. Any way out? [JEFFERSON] Just about. There's a network of maintenance tunnels runningunderneath the base. We should be able to gain access from here. [ROSE] Ventilation shafts. [JEFFERSON] Yeah, I appreciate the reference, but there's noventilation. No air, in fact, at all. They were designed for machines,not life forms. [ZACH [OC]] But --------------------------------------- (Control room) [ZACH] I can manipulate the oxygen field from here.Create discrete pockets of atmosphere. If I control it manually, I canfollow you through the network. --------------------------------------- (Drilling area) [ROSE] Right, so we go down, and you make the airfollow us by hand. --------------------------------------- (Control room) [ZACH] You wanted me pressing buttons. --------------------------------------- (Drilling area) [ROSE] Yeah, I asked for it. Okay, we need to get toOod Habitation. Work out a route. --------------------------------------- (Point Zero) [IDA] That should hold it. How's it going? [DOCTOR] Fine. Should work. Doesn't feel like such a good idea now. [DOCTOR] Hmm, there it is again. That itch. Go down, go down, go down,go down, go down. [IDA] The urge to jump. Do you know where it comes from, that sensation?Genetic heritage. Ever since we were primates in the trees. It's ourbody's way of testing us. Calculating whether or not we can reach thenext branch. [DOCTOR] No, that's not it. That's too kind. It's not the urge to jump.It's deeper than that. It's the urge to fall! [IDA] Doctor! [IDA] Are you okay? [DOCTOR] Not bad, thanks. The wall of the pit seems to be the same asthe cavern, just not much of it. There's a crust about twenty feet downand then nothing. Just the pit. Okay, then. Lower me down. [IDA] Well, here we go then. --------------------------------------- (Drilling area) [ROSE] Danny! [DANNY] Hold on! Just conforming. [JEFFERSON] Dan, we got to go now! Come on! [DANNY] Yeah! [DANNY] Put that in the monitor and it's a bad time to be an Ood. [ROSE] We're coming back. Have you got that? We're coming back to thisroom and we're getting the Doctor out. [JEFFERSON] Okay. Danny, you go first, then you, Miss Tyler, then Toby.I'll go last in defensive position. Now, come on, quick as you can! --------------------------------------- (Maintenance tunnel) [ROSE] God, it stinks. You all right? [DANNY] Yeah, I'm laughing. Which way do we go? --------------------------------------- (Control room) [ZACH] Just go straight ahead. Keep going till I sayso. --------------------------------------- (Maintenance tunnel) [ROSE] Not your best angle, Danny. [DANNY] Oi, stop it. [TOBY] I don't know, it could be worse. [ROSE] Oi! --------------------------------------- (Control room) [ZACH] Straight on until you find junction sevenpoint one. Keep breathing. I'm feeding you air. I've got you. --------------------------------------- (Maintenance tunnel) [DANNY] We're at seven point one, sir. --------------------------------------- (Control room) [ZACH] Okay, I've got you. I'm just aerating thenext section. --------------------------------------- (Maintenance tunnel) [DANNY] Getting kind of cramped, sir. Can't youhurry up? --------------------------------------- (Control room) [ZACH] I'm working on half power, here. --------------------------------------- (Maintenance tunnel) [JEFFERSON] Stop complaining. [ROSE] Mister Jefferson says stop complaining. [DANNY] I heard. [ROSE] He heard. [TOBY] But the air's getting a bit thin. [ROSE] He's complaining now. [JEFFERSON] I heard. [ROSE] (sniffs) Danny, is that you? [DANNY] I'm not exactly happy. [ZACH [OC]] I'm just moving the air. --------------------------------------- (Control room) [ZACH] I've got to oxygenate the next section. Now,keep calm or it's going to feel worse. --------------------------------------- (Maintenance tunnel) [DANNY] What was that? [ROSE] Mister Jefferson, what was that? [TOBY] What's that noise? [JEFFERSON] Captain, what was that? --------------------------------------- (Control room) [ZACH] The junction in Habitation Five's beenopened. It must be the Ood. --------------------------------------- (Maintenance tunnel) [ZACH [OC]] They're in the tunnels! [DANNY] Well, open the gate. --------------------------------------- (Control room) [ZACH] I've got to get the air in! [DANNY [OC]] Just open it, sir. --------------------------------------- (Maintenance tunnel) [ROSE] Where are they? Are they close? --------------------------------------- (Control room) [ZACH] I don't know. I can't tell. I can't see them.The computer doesn't register Ood as proper life forms. --------------------------------------- (Maintenance tunnel) [ROSE] Whose idea was that? [DANNY] Open the gate! --------------------------------------- (Control room) [ZACH] Danny, turn left. Immediate left. --------------------------------------- (Maintenance tunnel) [JEFFERSON] The Ood, sir. can't you trap them? Cutoff the air? --------------------------------------- (Control room) [ZACH] Not without cutting off yours. --------------------------------------- (Maintenance tunnel) [ZACH [OC]] Danny, turn right. Go right! Go fast,Dan. They're going to catch up. [JEFFERSON] I'll maintain defensive position. [ROSE] You can't stop! [JEFFERSON] Miss Tyler, that's my job. You've got your task, now see toit. [TOBY] You heard what he said, now shift. [DANNY] Eight point two. Open eight point two. Zach! --------------------------------------- (Control room) [DANNY [OC]] Open eight point two! [ZACH] I've got to aerate it. --------------------------------------- (Maintenance tunnel) [DANNY] Open it now! --------------------------------------- (Control room) [ZACH] I'm trying. --------------------------------------- (Maintenance tunnel) [ROSE] Danny, stop it. That's not helping. [TOBY] Zach, get it open! --------------------------------------- (Control room) [ZACH] Jefferson, I've got to open eight point twoby closing eight point one. You've got to get past the junction. Nowmove. That's an order, now move! --------------------------------------- (Maintenance tunnel) [ZACH [OC]] I'm going to lose oxygen, Jefferson, Ican't stop for your dramatics! [DANNY] That's it! Come on. --------------------------------------- (Control room) [ZACH] Danny, turn left and head for nine point two.That's the last one. Jefferson --------------------------------------- (Maintenance tunnel) [ZACH [OC]] You've got to move faster. John, move! [ROSE] Mister Jefferson! [TOBY] Keep going! --------------------------------------- (Control room) [JEFFERSON [OC]] Regret to inform, sir --------------------------------------- (Maintenance tunnel) [JEFFERSON] I was a bit slow. Not so fast, thesedays. --------------------------------------- (Control room) [ZACH] I can't open eight point one, John. Notwithout losing air for the others. --------------------------------------- (Maintenance tunnel) [JEFFERSON] And quite right too, sir. I think Ibought them a little time. [ZACH [OC]] There's nothing I can do, John. --------------------------------------- (Control room) [ZACH] I'm sorry. --------------------------------------- (Maintenance tunnel) [JEFFERSON] You've done enough, sir. Made a verygood captain under the circumstances. May I ask, if you can't addoxygen to this section, can you speed up the process of its removal? --------------------------------------- (Control room) [ZACH] I don't understand. What do you mean? --------------------------------------- (Maintenance tunnel) [JEFFERSON] Well, if I might chose the manner of mydeparture, sir, lack of air seems more natural than, well, let's saydeath by Ood. I'd appreciate it, sir! --------------------------------------- (Control room) [ZACH] God speed, Mister Jefferson. --------------------------------------- (Maintenance tunnel) [JEFFERSON] Thank you, sir. --------------------------------------- (Control room) [ZACH] Report Officer John Maynard Jefferson PKD deceased --------------------------------------- (Maintenance tunnel) [ZACH [OC]] With honours. 43 K two point one. [DANNY] Zach, we're at the final junction, nine point two. And er, if myrespects could be --------------------------------------- (Control room) [DANNY [OC]] On record. He saved our lives. [ZACH] Noted. --------------------------------------- (Maintenance tunnel) [ZACH [OC]] Opening nine point two. [ROSE] Lower nine point two! Hurry, Zach! [DANNY] Back! Back! Back! [TOBY] We can't go back! The gang point's sealed off. We're stuck. [ROSE] Come on! Up! --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [ROSE] Come on! Toby, come on! --------------------------------------- (Maintenance tunnel) [ROSE] Toby, get out of there! [TOBY] Help me! Oh, my God. Help me! --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [ROSE] Come on. [DANNY] It's this way. --------------------------------------- (Control room) [ZACH] Hurry it up! --------------------------------------- (Ood Habitation) [ROSE] Get it in! [TOBY] Danny, get down. [ROSE] Transmit! [DANNY] I'm trying, I'm trying! I'm getting at it. [ROSE] Danny, get that thing transmitting! [ROSE] You did it! We did it! [DANNY] Yes! [ROSE] Zach, we did it. The Ood are down. Now we've got to get theDoctor. --------------------------------------- (Control room) [ZACH] I'm on my way. --------------------------------------- (Chasm) [DOCTOR] You get representations of the Horned Beast right across theuniverse, in the myths and legends of a million worlds. Earth,Draconia, Velconsadine, Daemos. The Kaled god of war. It's the sameimage, over and over again. Maybe that idea came from somewhere,bleeding through. The thought at the back of every sentient mind. [IDA] Emanating from here? [DOCTOR] Could be. [IDA] But if this is the original, does that make it real? Does thatmake it the actual devil, though? [DOCTOR] Well, if that's what you want to believe. Maybe that's what thedevil is, in the end. An idea. [IDA] That's it. That's all we've got. You getting any sort of readout? [DOCTOR] Nothing. Could be miles to go, yet. Or could be thirty feet. Noway of telling. I could survive thirty feet. [IDA] Oh no you don't. I'm pulling you back up. [IDA] What're you doing? [DOCTOR] You bring me back, then we're just going to sit there and runout of air. I'vegot to go down. [IDA] But you can't. Doctor, you can't. [DOCTOR] Call it an act of faith. [IDA] But I don't want to die on my own. [DOCTOR] I know. --------------------------------------- (Drilling area) [ROSE] Doctor, are you there? Doctor, Ida, can youhear me? [ZACH] The comms. are still down. I can patch them through the centraldesk and boost the signal. Just give me a minute. --------------------------------------- (Chasm) [DOCTOR] I didn't ask. Have you got any sort offaith? [IDA] Not really. I was brought up Neo Classic Congregational, becauseof my mum. She was. My old mum. But no, I never believed. [DOCTOR] Neo Classics, have they got a devil? [IDA] No, not as such. Just er, the things that men do. [DOCTOR] Same thing in the end. [IDA] What about you? [DOCTOR] I believe, I believe I haven't seen everything, I don't know.It's funny, isn't it? The things you make up. The rules. If that thinghad said it came from beyond the universe, I'd believe it, but beforethe universe? Impossible. Doesn't fit my rule. Still, that's why I keeptravelling. To be proved wrong. Thank you, Ida. [IDA] Don't go! [DOCTOR] If they get back in touch, if you talk to Rose, just tell her.Tell her. Oh, she knows. [ROSE [OC]] Doctor, are you there? Doctor, Ida, can you hear me? --------------------------------------- (Drilling area) [ROSE] Are you there, Doctor? --------------------------------------- (Chasm) [IDA] He's gone. --------------------------------------- (Drilling area) [ROSE] What do you mean, he's gone? --------------------------------------- (Chasm) [IDA] He fell into the pit. And I don't know howdeep it is. Miles and miles and miles. --------------------------------------- (Drilling area) [ROSE] But what do you mean, he fell? --------------------------------------- (Chasm) [IDA] I couldn't stop him. He said your name. --------------------------------------- (Drilling area) [ZACH] I'm sorry. Ida? There's no way of reaching you. No cable --------------------------------------- (Chasm) [ZACH [OC]] No back up. You're ten miles down. --------------------------------------- (Drilling area) [ZACH] We can't get there. --------------------------------------- (Chasm) [IDA] You should see this place, Zach. It'sbeautiful. Well, I wanted to discover things, and here I am. --------------------------------------- (Drilling area) [ZACH] We've got to abandon the base. --------------------------------------- (Chasm) [ZACH [OC]] I'm declaring this mission unsafe. --------------------------------------- (Drilling area) [ZACH] All we can do is make sure no one ever comeshere again. --------------------------------------- (Chasm) [IDA] But we'll never find out what it was. --------------------------------------- (Drilling area) [ZACH] Well, maybe that's best. --------------------------------------- (Chasm) [IDA] Yeah. [[Drilling area]ZACH] Officer Scott --------------------------------------- (Chasm) [IDA] It's all right. Just go. Good luck. --------------------------------------- (Drilling area) [ZACH] And you. Danny, Toby, close down the feedlinks. Get the retrotropes online, then get to the rocket and strapyourselves in. We're leaving. [ROSE] I'm not going. [ZACH] Rose, there's space for you. [ROSE] No, I'm going to wait for the Doctor. Just like he waited for me. [ZACH] I'm sorry, but he's dead. [ROSE] You don't know him. 'Cause he's not. I'm telling you, he's not.And even if he was, how could I leave him all on his own, all the waydown there? No, I'm going to stay. [ZACH] Then I apologise for this. Danny, Toby? Make her secure. [ROSE] No, no. No! No! No! Let me go! Get off me! I'm not leaving! [ROSE] No. [ZACH] I have lost too many people. I am not leaving you behind. Let'sget her on board. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [TOBY] Did that one just move? [DANNY] It's the telepathic field. It's reasserting itself. [ZACH] Move it. Get to the rocket. Move! --------------------------------------- (Pit) [DOCTOR] I'm breathing. Air cushion to support the fall. You can breathdown here, Ida. Can you hear me, Ida? --------------------------------------- (Rocket) [ZACH] Dislocating B clamp. C Clamp. Raising blu-nitro to maximum. Toby,how's the Negapact feed line? [TOBY] Clear. Ready to go, sir. For God's sakes, get us out of here! [DANNY] Captain, I think we're going to have a problem passenger. [ZACH] Keep an eye on her. [ROSE] Wait. We're not [DANNY] It's all right, Rose. You're safe. [ROSE] I'm not going anywhere! Get me out of this thing! Get me out! [ZACH] And lift off! Whoo! --------------------------------------- (Pit) [DOCTOR] A rocket. --------------------------------------- (Rocket) [ROSE] Take me back to the planet. Take me back! [ZACH] Or what? [ROSE] Or I'll shoot. [ZACH] Would you, though? Would you really? Is that what your Doctorwould want? [ZACH] Sorry, but it's too late anyway. Take a look outside. We can'tturn back. This is what the Doctor would have wanted. Isn't that right? --------------------------------------- (Pit) [DOCTOR] The history of some big battle. Man against Beast. I don't knowif you're getting this, Ida. Hope so. Anyway, they defeated the Beastand imprisoned it. [DOCTOR] Or maybe that's the key. [DOCTOR] Or the gate, or the bars. --------------------------------------- (Rocket) [DANNY] What's the joke? [TOBY] Just, we made it. We escaped. We actually did it. [ROSE] Not all of us. [ZACH] We're not out of it yet. We're still the first people in historyto fly away from a black hole. Toby, read me the stats. [TOBY] Gravity funnel holding, sir. Always holding. --------------------------------------- (Pit) [DOCTOR] I accept that you exist. I don't have toaccept what you are, but you're physical existence, I'll give you that.I don't understand. I was expected down here. I was given a safelanding and air. You need me for something. What for? Have I got to, Idon't know, beg an audience? Or is there a ritual? Some sort ofincantation or summons or spell? All these things I don't believe in,are they real? Speak to me! Tell me! You won't talk. Or you can't talk.Oh, hold on, wait a minute, just let me. Oh! No. Yes! No. Think itthrough. You spoke before. I heard your voice. An intelligent voice.No, more than that. Brilliant. But, looking at you now, all I can seeis Beast. The animal. Just the body. You're just the body, the physicalform. What's happened to your mind, hmm? Where's it gone? Where's thatintelligence? Oh, no. --------------------------------------- (Rocket) [TOBY] Stats at fifty three. Funnel stable at sixtysix point five. Hull pressure constant. Smooth as we can, sir, all theway back home. Coordinates set for planet Earth. --------------------------------------- (Pit) [DOCTOR] You're imprisoned, long time ago. Beforethe universe, after, sideways, in between, doesn't matter. The prisonis perfect. It's absolute, it's eternal. Oh, yes! Open the prison, thegravity field collapses. This planet falls into the black hole! Youescape, you die. Brilliant! But that's just the body. The body istrapped, that's all. The devil is an idea. In all those civilisations,just an idea. But an idea is hard to kill. An idea could escape. Themind. The mind of the great Beast. The mind can escape! Oh, but that'sit! You didn't give me air, your jailers did. They set this up allthose years ago! They need me alive, because if you're escaping, thenI'vegot to stop you. If I destroy your prison, your body is destroyed. Yourmind with it. [DOCTOR] But then you're clever enough to use this whole system againstme. If I destroy this planet, I destroy the gravity field. The rocket.The rocket loses protection and falls into the black hole. I have tosacrifice Rose. --------------------------------------- (Rocket) [ROSE] It doesn't make sense. We escaped, butthere's a thousand ways it could've killed us. It could've ripped outthe air or, I don't know, burnt us, or anything. But it let us go. Why?Unless it wanted us to escape? [TOBY] Hey, Rose, do us a favour. Shut up. Almost there. We'll be beyondthe reach of the black hole in forty, thirty nine --------------------------------------- (Pit) [DOCTOR] So, that's the trap. Or the test, or thefinal judgment, I don't know. But if I kill you, I kill her. Exceptthat implies in this big grand scheme of Gods and Devils that she'sjust a victim. But I've seen a lot of this universe. I've seen fakegods and bad gods and demi-gods and would-be gods, and out of all that,out of that whole pantheon, if I believe in one thing, just one thing,I believe in her. --------------------------------------- (Rocket) [DANNY] What happened? What was that? [TOBY] What's he doing? What is he doing? [ZACH] We've lost the funnel. Gravity collapse! [ROSE] What does that mean? [ZACH] We can't escape. We're headed straight for the black hole! --------------------------------------- (Pit) [DOCTOR] This is your freedom. Free to die. You're going into that blackhole and I'm riding with you. --------------------------------------- (Rocket) [ROSE] It's the planet. The planet's moving. It'sfalling. (Toby's face is covered in symbols.) [TOBY] I am the rage. [ROSE] It's Toby. Zach, do something. [TOBY] And the bile and the ferocity. [ROSE] Just do something! [TOBY] I am the Prince and the Fall and the enemy. I am the sin and thefear and the darkness. [DANNY] It's him! It's him! It's him! [ZACH] Stay where you are. The ship's not stable! [ZACH] What is he?? What the hell is he? [TOBY] I shall never die. The thought of me is forever. In the bleedinghearts of men, in their vanity and obsession and lust [TOBY] Nothing shall ever destroy me. Nothing! [ROSE] Go to hell. [ZACH] Emergency shield! [ZACH] We've still lost the gravity funnel. We can't escape the blackhole. [ROSE] But we stopped him. That's what the Doctor would've done. [ZACH] Some victory. We're going in. [DANNY] The planet's lost orbit. It's falling! [DANNY] The planet's gone. I'm sorry. [ZACH] Accelerate. I did my best. But hey! The first human beings tofall inside a black hole. How about that? History. [ROSE] What happened? [ZACH] We're turning. We're turning around. We're turning away! [DOCTOR [OC]] Sorry about the hijack, Captain. This is the good shipTardis. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] Now, first thing's first. Have you got a --------------------------------------- (Rocket) [DOCTOR [OC]] Rose Tyler on board? [ROSE] I'm here! It's me! Oh, my God. Where are you? [DOCTOR [OC]] I'm just towing you home. Gravity schmavity. My peoplepractically invented black holes. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] Well, in fact, they did. In a couple ofminutes, we'll be nice and safe. Oh, and Captain? --------------------------------------- (Rocket) [DOCTOR [OC]] Can we do a swap? Say, if you give me --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] Rose Tyler, I'll give you Ida Scott? Howabout that? --------------------------------------- (Rocket) [ZACH] She's alive! [DANNY] Yes. Thank God. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] Yeah! Bit of oxygen starvation, but sheshould be all right. I couldn't save the Ood. I only had time for onetrip. --------------------------------------- (Rocket) [DOCTOR [OC]] They went down with the planet. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] Ah! Entering clear space. End of the line.Mission --------------------------------------- (Rocket) [DOCTOR [OC]] Closed. [IDA] I don't know. I can't remember. [DANNY] Well, it looked like a box. [ZACH] What do you mean, a box? [DANNY] Well, down in the hold. A big blue box. It just appeared. Idon't know. [DOCTOR [OC]] Zach? We'll be off, now. Have a good trip home. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] And the next time you get curious about something. Oh, what'sthe point. You'll just go blundering in. The human race. --------------------------------------- (Rocket) [IDA] But Doctor, what did you find down there? Thatcreature, what was it? --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] I don't know. Never did decipher thatwriting. But that's good, Day I know everything? Might as well stop. [ROSE] What do you think it was, really? [DOCTOR] I think we beat it. That's good enough for me. [ROSE] It said I was going to die in battle. [DOCTOR] Then it lied. Right, onwards, upwards. Ida? See you again,maybe. --------------------------------------- (Rocket) [IDA] I hope so. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [ROSE] And thanks, boys! --------------------------------------- (Rocket) [IDA] Hang on though, Doctor. You never really said.You two, who are you? --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] Oh, the stuff of legend. --------------------------------------- (Rocket) [ZACH] This is the final report of Sanctuary BaseSix. Officer Tobias Zed, deceased, with honours. 43K two point one.Also Ood 1 Alpha 1, deceased with honours. Ood 1 Alpha 2, deceased withhonours.

[DOCTOR] I don't understand that and I understand everything. This thiscan't happen! There is no way a human being can lock itself onto theTardis and transport itself inside. It must be [DOCTOR] Impossible. Some sort of subatomic connection? Something in thetemporal field? Maybe something pulling you into alignment with theChronon shell. Maybe something macro mining your DNA within theinterior matrix. Maybe a genetic [DOCTOR] What was that for? [DONNA] Get me to the church! [DOCTOR] Right! Fine! I don't want you here anyway!

[DONNA] Hold on a minute. I said Chiswick. You've missed the turning.Excuse me, we should've turned off back there. We're going the wrongway! [DONNA] What the hell are you doing? I'm late for the wedding. My ownwedding. Do you get that? [DONNA] Turn around! Turn this cab around right now! Are you deaf orwhat? [DONNA] Oh, my God. [DONNA] Help me! Help me! Help me! Help me! Help me! Help me! Help me!Get me out! Help me! Help me! I'm being driven by a robot! --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] Behave! --------------------------------------- (Taxi) [DONNA] You are kidding me. [DOCTOR] Open the door! [DONNA] Do what? [DOCTOR] Open the door! [DONNA] I can't, it's locked! [DONNA] Santa's a robot. [DOCTOR] Donna, open the door. [DONNA] What for? [DOCTOR] You've got to jump! [DONNA] I'm not blinking flip jumping. I'm supposed to be gettingmarried! [DOCTOR] Listen to me. You've got to jump. [DONNA] I'm not jumping on a motorway. [DOCTOR] Whatever that thing is, it needs you. And whatever it needs youfor, it's not good! Now, come on! [DONNA] I'm in my wedding dress! [DOCTOR] Yes, you look lovely! Come on! [DONNA] I can't do it. [DOCTOR] Trust me. [DONNA] Is that what you said to her? Your friend? The one you lost? Didshe trust you? [DOCTOR] Yes, she did. And she is not dead. She is so alive. Now, jump! --------------------------------------- (Shoe Lane rooftop) [DOCTOR] The funny thing is, for a spaceship, she doesn't really do thatmuch flying. We'd better give her a couple of hours. You all right? [DONNA] Doesn't matter. [DOCTOR] Did we miss it? [DONNA] Yeah. [DOCTOR] Well, you can book another date. [DONNA] Course we can. [DOCTOR] You've still got the honeymoon. [DONNA] It's just a holiday now. [DOCTOR] Yeah. Yeah. Sorry. [DONNA] It's not your fault. [DOCTOR] Oh? That's a change. [DONNA] Wish you had a time machine, then we could go back and get itright. [DOCTOR] Yeah, yeah. But even if I did, I couldn't go back on someone'spersonal timeline. Apparently. [DONNA] God, you're skinny. This wouldn't fit a rat. [DOCTOR] Oh and you'd better put this on. [DONNA] Oh, do you have to rub it in? [DOCTOR] Those creatures can trace you. This is a bio-damper. Shouldkeep you hidden. With this ring, I thee bio-damp. [DONNA] For better or for worse. So, come on then. Robot santas, whatare they for? [DOCTOR] Ah, your basic robo scavenger. The Father Christmas stuff isjust a disguise. They're trying to blend in. I met them last Christmas. [DONNA] Why, what happened then? [DOCTOR] Great big spaceship hovering over London? You didn't notice? [DONNA] I had a bit of a hangover. [DOCTOR] I spent Christmas Day just over there, the Powell Estate, withthis family. My friend, she had this family. Well, they were. Still,gone now. [DONNA] Your friend, who was she? [DOCTOR] Question is, what do camouflaged robot mercenaries want withyou? And how did you get inside the Tardis? I don't know. What's yourjob? [DONNA] I'm a secretary. [DOCTOR] It's weird. I mean, you're not special, you're not powerful,you're not connected, you're not clever, you're not important. [DONNA] This friend of yours. Just before she left, did she punch you inthe face? Stop bleeping me! [DOCTOR] What kind of secretary? [DONNA] I'm at HC Clements. It's where I met Lance. I was temping. --------------------------------------- (Memory - office) [DONNA [OC]] I mean, it was all a bit posh really.I'd spent the last two years at a double glazing firm. Well, I thoughtI'm nevergoing to fit in here.And then he made me a coffee. I mean, that just doesn't happen. Nobodygets the secretaries a coffee. --------------------------------------- (Shoe Lane rooftop) [DONNA] And Lance, he's the head of HR! He don'tneed to bother with me. But he was nice, he was funny. --------------------------------------- (Memory - stairwell) [LANCE] She's not that bad! [DONNA] She is! --------------------------------------- (Shoe Lane rooftop) [DONNA] And it turns out he thought everyone elsewas really snotty too. So that's how it started, me and him. One cup ofcoffee. That was it. [DOCTOR] When was this? [DONNA] Six months ago. [DOCTOR] Bit quick to get married. [DONNA] Well, he insisted. --------------------------------------- (Memory - bar) [DONNA] Will you marry me? --------------------------------------- (Shoe Lane rooftop) [DONNA] And he nagged, and he nagged me --------------------------------------- (Memory - stairwell) [DONNA] Go on, just think about it. We'd make a great couple. And I'dget rid of the dog, and we could do up that back bedroom. --------------------------------------- (Shoe Lane rooftop) [DONNA] And he just wore me down. And then finally,I just gave in. --------------------------------------- (Street) [DONNA] Please? Oh, please? Please? Please, please,please, please, please. --------------------------------------- (Shoe Lane rooftop) [DOCTOR] What does HC Clements do? [DONNA] Oh, security systems. You know, entry codes, ID cards, that sortof thing. If you ask me, it's a posh name for locksmiths. [DOCTOR] Keys. [DONNA] Anyway, enough of my CV. Come on, it's time to face theconsequences. Oh, this isgoing to be so shaming. You can do the explaining, Martian boy. [DOCTOR] Yeah. I'm not from Mars. [DONNA] Oh, I had this great big reception all planned. Everyone's goingto be heartbroken. --------------------------------------- (Reception) [NODDY] Does he ride a red nosed reindeer, does he turn up on hissleigh? Do the fairies keep him sober for a day? So here it [DONNA] You had the reception without me? [LANCE] Donna, what happened to you? [DONNA] You had the reception without me? [DOCTOR] Hello. I'm the Doctor. [DONNA] They had the reception without me. [DOCTOR] Yes, I gathered. [NERYS] Well, it was all paid for. Why not? [DONNA] Thank you, Nerys. [SYLVIA] Well, what were we supposed to do? I got your silly littlemessage in the end. I'm on Earth? Very funny. What the hell happened?How did you do it? I mean, what's the trick, because I'd love to know. [LANCE] Where were you the whole time? [SINGER] I have wandered, I have rambled, I have crossed this crowdedsphere. And I've seen [SINGER] Oh, my girl, my girl, my precious girl, what is this man to do.So reel me in, my precious girl. [SINGER] Come on, take me home. Cos my body's tired of travelling and myheart don't wish to roam. [SINGER] Well, you took me in, you stole my heart, I cannot roam nomore. Cos love it stays within you, it doesn't wash up on a shore. Thena fighting man forgets each cut, each knock, each bruise, each fall.But a fighting man cannot forget [CAMERA MAN] Oh, I taped the whole thing. They've all had a look. Theysaid sell it to You've Been Framed. I said, more like the News. Here weare. [DOCTOR] Can't be. Play it again? [CAMERA MAN] Clever, mind. Good trick, I'll give her that. I wasclapping. [DOCTOR] But that looks like Huon Particles. [CAMERA MAN] What's that then? [DOCTOR] That's impossible. That's ancient. Huon energy doesn't existanymore, not for billions of years. So old that it can't be hidden by abiodamper! [DOCTOR] Donna! Donna, they've found you. [DONNA] But you said I was safe. [DOCTOR] The bio-damper doesn't work. We've got to get everyone out. [DONNA] My God, it's all my family. [DOCTOR] Out the back door! [DOCTOR] Maybe not. [DONNA] We're trapped. [DOCTOR] Christmas trees. [DONNA] What about them? [DOCTOR] They kill. Get away from the tree! [DONNA] Don't touch the trees! [DOCTOR] Get away from the Christmas trees! Everyone get away from them!Everyone stay away from the trees! Stay away from the trees! [SYLVIA] Oh, for God's sakes, the man's an idiot. Why? What harm's aChristmas treegoing to. Oh. [DOCTOR] Oi! Santa! Word of advice. If you're attacking a man with asonic screwdriver, don't let him near the sound system. [GEOFF] It's all right, Stan. You'll be all right. It's all over. [DONNA] Michael? Connie? Oh, Senita, do something useful. [LANCE] What is it? What were they? [DONNA] Just stop wittering. Just help them. [DOCTOR] Look at that. Remote control for the decorations, but there's asecond remote control for the robots. They're not scavengers anymore. Ithink someone's taken possession. [DONNA] Never mind all that. You're a doctor. People have been hurt. [DOCTOR] Nah, they wanted you alive. Look. [DOCTOR] They're not active now. [DONNA] All I'm saying, you could help. [DOCTOR] Got to think of the bigger picture. There's still a signal! [SYLVIA] Donna, who is he? Who is that man? --------------------------------------- (Outside the reception hotel) [DOCTOR] There's someone behind this, directing theroboforms. [DONNA] But why is it me? What have I done? [DOCTOR] If we find the controller, we'll find that out. Ooo! It's upthere. Something in the sky. --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [EMPRESS] Clever, clever, clever boy. Eat you up all snicker snacker,travelling man. He shall come to me, and the beautiful bride. Suchsecrets to unlock! I shall descend this night. I shall descend uponthis Earth and shine! --------------------------------------- (Outside the reception hotel) [DOCTOR] I've lost the signal. Donna, we've got to get to your office.HC Clements. I think that's where it all started. Lance! Is it Lance?Lance, can you give me a lift? --------------------------------------- (HC Clements office) [DOCTOR] To you lot this might just be a locksmiths,but H C Clements was brought up twenty three years ago by the TorchwoodInstitute. [DONNA] Who are they? [DOCTOR] They were behind the battle of Canary Wharf. Cyberman invasion.Skies over London full of Daleks? [DONNA] Oh, I was in Spain. [DOCTOR] They had Cybermen in Spain. [DONNA] Scuba diving. [DOCTOR] That big picture, Donna. You keep on missing it. Torchwood wasdestroyed, but HC Clements stayed in business. I think someone elsecame in and took over the operation. [DONNA] But what do they want with me? [DOCTOR] Somehow you've been dosed with Huon energy. And that's aproblem, because Huon energy hasn't existed since the Dark Times. Theonly place you'd find a Huon particle now is a remnant in the heart ofthe Tardis. See? That's what happened. Say, that's the Tardis. (Hepicks up a coffee mug.) [DOCTOR] And that's you. (A pencil.) [DOCTOR] The particles inside you activated. The two sets of particlesmagnetised and whap. [DOCTOR] You were pulled inside the Tardis. [DONNA] I'm a pencil inside a mug? [DOCTOR] Yes, you are. 4H. Sums you up. Lance? What was HC Clementsworking on? Anything top secret? Special operations? Do not enter? [LANCE] I don't know, I'm in charge of personnel. I wasn't projectmanager. Why am I even explaining myself? What the hell are we talkingabout? [DOCTOR] They make keys, that's the point. And look at this. We're onthe third floor. --------------------------------------- (Lift) [DOCTOR] Underneath reception, there's a basement,yes? Then how come when you look on the lift, there's a button markedlower basement? There's a whole floor which doesn't exist on theofficial plans. So what's down there, then? [LANCE] Are you telling me this building's got a secret floor? [DOCTOR] No, I'm showing you this building's got a secret floor. [DONNA] It needs a key. [DOCTOR] I don't. [DOCTOR] Right then. Thanks, you two. I can handle this. See you later. [DONNA] No chance, Martian. You're the man who keeps saving my life. Iain't letting you out of my sight. [DOCTOR] Going down. [DONNA] Lance? [LANCE] Maybe I should go to the police. [DONNA] Inside. [DOCTOR] To honour and obey? [LANCE] Tell me about it, mate. [DONNA] Oi. --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [EMPRESS] The bride approaches. She is my key. --------------------------------------- (Lower basement corridor) [DONNA] Where are we? Well, what goes on down here? [DOCTOR] Let's find out. [DONNA] Do you think Mister Clements knows about this place? [DOCTOR] The mysterious HC Clements? I think he's part of it. Oh, look.Transport. [DOCTOR] Wait here. Just need to get my bearings. Don't do anything. [DONNA] You'd better come back. [DOCTOR] I couldn't get rid of you if I tried. [LANCE] Donna, have you thought about this? Properly? I mean, this isserious! What the hell are wegoing to do? [DONNA] Oh, I thought July. [DOCTOR] Thames flood barrier right on top of us. Torchwood snuck in andbuilt this place underneath. [DONNA] What, there's like a secret base hidden underneath a majorLondon landmark? [DOCTOR] Oh, I know. Unheard of. --------------------------------------- (Laboratory) [DOCTOR] Oo, look at this. Stunning! [DONNA] What does it do? [DOCTOR] Particle extrusion. Hold on. Brilliant. They've beenmanufacturing Huon particles. Course, my people got rid of Huons. Theyunravel the atomic structure. [LANCE] Your people? Who are they? What company do you represent? [DOCTOR] Oh, I'm a freelancer. But this lot are rebuilding them. They'vebeen using the river. Extruding them through a flat hydrogen base sothey've got the end result, Huon particles in liquid form. [DONNA] And that's what's inside me? [DONNA] Oh, my God! [DOCTOR] Genius. Because the particles are inert, they need somethingliving to catalyse inside and that's you. Saturate the body and then.Ha! [DOCTOR] The wedding! Yes, you're getting married, that's it! Best dayof your life, walking down the aisle. Oh, your body's a battleground!There's a chemical war inside! Adrenaline, acetylcholine. Wham! go theendorphins. Oh, you're cooking! Yeah, you're like a walking oven. Apressure cooker, a microwave, all churning away. The particles reachboiling point. Shazam! [DOCTOR] What did I do this time?? [DONNA] Are you enjoying this? Right, just tell me. These particles, arethey dangerous? Am I safe? [DOCTOR] Yes. [DONNA] Doctor, if your lot got rid of Huon particles, why did they dothat? [DOCTOR] Because they were deadly. [DONNA] Oh, my God. [DOCTOR] I'll sort it out, Donna. Whatever's been done to you, I'llreverse it. I am not about to lose someone else. [EMPRESS [OC]] Oh, she is long since lost. [EMPRESS [OC]] I have waited so long, hibernating at the edge of theuniverse until the secret heart was uncovered and called out to waken! --------------------------------------- (Drilling site) [DOCTOR] Someone's been digging. Oh, very Torchwood.Drilled by laser. How far down does it go? [EMPRESS [OC]] Down and down, all the way to the centre of the Earth! [DOCTOR] Really? Seriously? What for? [DONNA] Dinosaurs. [DOCTOR] What? [DONNA] Dinosaurs? [DOCTOR] What are you on about, dinosaurs? [DONNA] That film, Under the Earth, with dinosaurs. Trying to help. [DOCTOR] That's not helping. [EMPRESS [OC]] Such a sweet couple. [DOCTOR] Only a madman talks to thin air and trust me, you don't want tomake me mad. Where are you? [EMPRESS [OC]] High in the sky. Floating so high on Christmas night. --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [DOCTOR [on screen]] I didn't come all this way totalk on the intercom. Come on, let's have a look at you! [EMPRESS] Who are you with such command? [DOCTOR [on screen]] I'm the Doctor. [EMPRESS] Prepare your best medicines, doctor man, for you will be sickat heart. --------------------------------------- (Drilling site) [DOCTOR] Racnoss? But that's impossible. You're one of the Racnoss? [EMPRESS] Empress of the Racnoss. [DOCTOR] If you're the Empress, where's the rest of the Racnoss? Or, areyou the only one? [EMPRESS] Such a sharp mind. [DOCTOR] That's it, the last of your kind. The Racnoss come from theDark Times, billions of years ago. Billions. They were carnivores,omnivores. They devoured whole planets. [EMPRESS] Racnoss are born starving. Is that our fault? [DONNA] They eat people? [DOCTOR] HC Clements, did he wear those, those er, black and whiteshoes? [DONNA] He did. We used to laugh. We used to call him the fat cat inspats. [DONNA] Oh, my God! [EMPRESS] Mmm. My Christmas dinner. [DOCTOR] You shouldn't even exist. Way back in history, the fledglingEmpires went to war against the Racnoss they were wiped out. [EMPRESS] Except for me. [DONNA] But that's what I've got inside me, that Huon energy thing. Oi!Look at me, lady, I'm talking. Where do I fit in? How comes I get allstacked up with these Huon particles? Look at me, you! Look me in theeye and tell me. [EMPRESS] The bride is so feisty. [DONNA] Yes, I am! And I don't know what you are, you big thing, but aspider's just a spider and an axe is an axe! Now, do it! [LANCE] That was a good one. Your face. [EMPRESS] Lance is funny. [DONNA] What? [DOCTOR] I'm sorry. [DONNA] Sorry for what? Lance, don't be so stupid! Get her! [LANCE] God, she's thick. Months I've had to put up with her. Months. Awoman who can't even point to Germany on a map. [DONNA] I don't understand. [DOCTOR] How did you meet him? [DONNA] In the office. [DOCTOR] He made you coffee. [DONNA] What? [LANCE] Every day, I made you coffee. [DOCTOR] You had to be dosed with liquid particles over six months. [DONNA] He was poisoning me. [DOCTOR] It was all there in the job title. The Head of Human Resources. [LANCE] This time, it's personnel. [DONNA] But, we were getting married. [LANCE] Well, I couldn't risk you running off. I had to say yes. Andthen I was stuck with a woman who thinks the height of excitement is anew flavour Pringle. Oh, I had to sit there and listen to all that yapyap yap. Oh, Brad and Angelina. Is Posh pregnant? X Factor, AtkinsDiet, Feng Shui, split ends, text me, text me, text me. Dear God, thenever ending fountain of fat, stupid trivia. I deserve a medal. [DOCTOR] Oh, is that what she's offered you? The Empress of the Racnoss?What are you, her consort? [LANCE] It's better than a night with her. [DONNA] But I love you. [LANCE] That's what made it easy. It's like you said, Doctor. The bigpicture. What's the point of it all if the human race is nothing?That's what the Empress can give me. The chance to go out there. To seeit. The size of it all. I think you understand that, don't you, Doctor? [EMPRESS] Who is this little physician? [LANCE] She said Martian. [DOCTOR] Oh, I'm sort of homeless. But the point is, what's down here?The Racnoss are extinct. What'sgoing to help you four thousand miles down? That's just the molten coreof the Earth, isn't it? [LANCE] I think he wants us to talk. [EMPRESS] I think so, too. [LANCE] Well, tough! All we need is Donna. [EMPRESS] Kill this chattering little doctor man. [DONNA] Don't you hurt him! [DOCTOR] No, no, Donna. It's all right. [DONNA] No, I won't let them. [EMPRESS] At arms! [DOCTOR] Ah, now. Except. [EMPRESS] Take aim! [DOCTOR] Well, I just want to point out the obvious. [EMPRESS] They won't hit the bride. They're such very good shots. [DOCTOR] Just, just, just, just, just hold on. Hold on just a tick. Justa tiny little, just a little tick. If you think about it, the particlesactivated in Donna and drew her inside my spaceship. So reverse it, andthe spaceship comes to her. [EMPRESS] Fire! --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] Off we go. --------------------------------------- (Drilling site) [EMPRESS] My key! My key! --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] Oh, do you know what I said before abouttime machines? Well, I lied. And now we'regoing to use it. We need to find out what the Empress of the Racnoss isdigging up. If something's buried at the planet's core, it must've beenthere since the beginning. That's just brilliant. Molto bene. I'vealways wanted to see this. Donna, we're going further back than I'veever been before. --------------------------------------- (Drilling site) [EMPRESS] If a key is lost, then another must becut. At arms! --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] We've arrived. Want to see? [DONNA] I suppose. [DOCTOR] Oh, that scanner's a bit small. Maybe your way's best. [DOCTOR] Come on. No human's ever seen this. You'll be the first. [DONNA] All I want to see is my bed. [DOCTOR] Donna Noble, welcome to the creation of the Earth. [DOCTOR] We've gone back four point six billion years. There's no solarsystem, not yet. Only dust and rocks and gas. That's the Sun, overthere. Brand new. Just beginning to burn. [DONNA] Where's the Earth? [DOCTOR] All around us in the dust. [DONNA] Puts the wedding in perspective. Lance was right. We're justtiny. [DOCTOR] No, but that's what you do. The human race makes sense out ofchaos. Marking it out with weddings and Christmas and calendars. Thiswhole process is beautiful, but only if it's being observed. [DONNA] So I came out of all this? [DOCTOR] Isn't that brilliant? [DONNA] I think that's the Isle of Wight. [DOCTOR] Eventually, gravity takes hold. Say, one big rock, heavier thanthe others, starts to pull other rocks towards it. All the dust and gasand elements get pulled in. Everything, piling in until you get [DONNA] The Earth. [DOCTOR] But the question is, what was that first rock? [DONNA] Look. [DOCTOR] The Racnoss. --------------------------------------- (Drilling site) [EMPRESS] Now I have measured the bride's catalysis,I can force feed it. [EMPRESS] Drink the particles. Become the key! --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] Hold on. The Racnoss are hiding from thewar. What's it doing? [DONNA] Exactly what you said. [DOCTOR] Oh, they didn't just bury something at the centre of the Earth.They became the centre of the Earth. The first rock. [DONNA] What was that? [DOCTOR] Trouble. --------------------------------------- (Drilling site) [EMPRESS] My wonderful key. Now, my servants, bindhim. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DONNA] What the hell's it doing? [DOCTOR] Remember that little trick of mine, particles pullingparticles. Well, it works in reverse. They're pulling us back! [DONNA] Well, can't you stop it? Hasn't it got a handbrake? Can't youreverse or warp or beam or something? [DOCTOR] Backseat driver. Oh! Wait a minute! The extrapolator! [DOCTOR] It can't stop us, but it should give us a good bump! --------------------------------------- (Drilling site) [EMPRESS] The bride shall join her groom. What a wedding there shall be. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] Now! --------------------------------------- (Lower basement corridor) [DOCTOR] We're about two hundred yards to the right.Come on! --------------------------------------- (Drilling site) [EMPRESS] She is close, the holy bride in white.Find her. Find her! --------------------------------------- (Lower basement corridor) [DONNA] But what do we do? [DOCTOR] I don't know. I make it up as I go along. But trust me, I'vegot a history. [DONNA] But I still don't understand. I'm full of particles, but whatfor? [DOCTOR] There's a Racnoss web at the centre of the Earth, but my peopleunravelled their power source. The Huon particles ceased to exist butthe Racnoss were stuck. [DOCTOR] They've just taken hibernation for billions of years. Frozen,dead, kaput. So you're the new key. Brand new particles, livingparticles! They need you to open it and you have never been so quiet. [DOCTOR] Oh! --------------------------------------- (Drilling site) [DONNA] I hate you. [LANCE] Yeah, I think we've gone a bit beyond that now, sweetheart. [EMPRESS] My golden couple, together at last. Your awful wedded life.Tell me, do you want to be released? [DONNA + LANCE] Yes! [EMPRESS] You're supposed to say, I do. [LANCE] Huh. No chance. [EMPRESS] Say it! [LANCE] I do. [DONNA] I do. [EMPRESS] I don't. Activate the particles. Purge every last one. [EMPRESS] And release! [EMPRESS] The secret heart unlocks, and they will waken from their Sleepof Ages. [DONNA] Who will? What's down there? [LANCE] How thick are you?? [EMPRESS] My children, the long lost Racnoss, now reborn to feast onflesh! The web star shall come to me. [EMPRESS] My babies will be hungry. They need sustenance. Perish theweb. [LANCE] Use her, not me! Use her! [EMPRESS] Oh, my funny little Lance! But you are quite impolite to yourlady friend. The Empress does not approve. [DONNA] Lance! --------------------------------------- (London) [LITTLE GIRL] It's Christmas! --------------------------------------- (Drilling site) [EMPRESS] Harvest the humans! Reduce them to meat. [EMPRESS] My children are climbing towards me and none shall stop them. [EMPRESS] So you might as well unmask, my clever little doctor man. [DOCTOR] Oh well. Nice try. I've got you, Donna! [DONNA] I'm going to fall! [DOCTOR] You're going to swing! I've got you! [DOCTOR] Oh. Sorry. [DONNA] Thanks for nothing. [EMPRESS] The doctor man amuses me. [DOCTOR] Empress of the Racnoss, I give you one last chance. I can findyou a planet. I can find you and your children a place in the universeto co-exist. Take that offer and end this now. [EMPRESS] These men are so funny. [DOCTOR] What's your answer? [EMPRESS] Oh I'm afraid I have to decline. [DOCTOR] What happens next is your own doing. [EMPRESS] I'll show you what happens next. At arms! Take aim! And [DOCTOR] Relax. [DONNA] What did you do? [DOCTOR] Guess what I've got, Donna? [DOCTOR] Pockets. [DONNA] How did that fit in there? [DOCTOR] They're bigger on the inside. [EMPRESS] Roboforms are not necessary. My children may feast on Martianflesh. [DOCTOR] Oh, but I'm not from Mars. [EMPRESS] Then where? [DOCTOR] My home planet is far away and long since gone. But its namelives on. Gallifrey. [EMPRESS] They murdered the Racnoss! [DOCTOR] I warned you. You did this. [EMPRESS] No! No! Don't! No! [EMPRESS] No! No! My children! No! My children! My children! [DONNA] Doctor! You can stop now! [EMPRESS] My children! [DOCTOR] Come on. Time I got you out. [EMPRESS] Transport me! --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [EMPRESS] Oh, they will suffer! So suffer! This planet shall bescorched! --------------------------------------- (Ladder) [DONNA] But what about the Empress? [DOCTOR] She's used up all her Huon energy. She's defenceless! --------------------------------------- (London) [COMMANDER [OC]] Orders from Mister Saxon. Fire at will! [SOLDIER] Fire! --------------------------------------- (Thames Barrier) [DONNA] Just there's one problem. [DOCTOR] What is that? [DONNA] We've drained the Thames. --------------------------------------- (Outside the Nobles' home) [DOCTOR] There we go. Told you she'd be all right. She can surviveanything. [DONNA] More than I've done. [DOCTOR] No, all the Huon particles have gone. No damage, you're fine. [DONNA] Yeah, but apart from that, I missed my wedding, lost my job andbecame a widow on the same day. Sort of. [DOCTOR] I couldn't save him. [DONNA] He deserved it. No, he didn't. I'd better get inside. They'll beworried. [DOCTOR] Best Christmas present they could have. [DOCTOR] Oh, no. I forgot you hate Christmas. [DONNA] Yes, I do. [DOCTOR] Even if it snows? [DONNA] I can't believe you did that! [DOCTOR] Oh, basic atmospheric excitation. [DONNA] Merry Christmas. [DOCTOR] And you. So, what will you do with yourself now? [DONNA] Not getting married, for starters. And I'm not going to tempanymore. I don't know. Travel. See a bit more of planet Earth. Walk inthe dust. Just go out there and do something. [DOCTOR] Well, you could always [DONNA] What? [DOCTOR] Come with me [DONNA] No. [DOCTOR] Okay. [DONNA] I can't. [DOCTOR] No, that's fine. [DONNA] No, but really. Everything we did today. Do you live your lifelike that? [DOCTOR] Not all the time. [DONNA] I think you do. And I couldn't. [DOCTOR] But you've seen it out there. It's beautiful. [DONNA] And it's terrible. That place was flooding and burning and theywere dying, and you were stood there like, I don't know, a stranger.And then you made it snow. I mean, you scare me to death. [DOCTOR] Right. [DONNA] Tell you what I will do, though. Christmas dinner. Oh, come on. [DOCTOR] I don't do that sort of thing. [DONNA] You did it last year. You said so. And you might as well,because Mum always cooks enough for twenty. [DOCTOR] Oh, all right then. But you go first. Better warn them. Anddon't say I'm a Martian. I just have to park her properly. She mightdrift off to the Middle Ages. I'll see you in a minute. [DONNA] Doctor! Doctor! [DOCTOR] Blimey, you can shout. [DONNA] Am I ever going to see you again? [DOCTOR] If I'm lucky. [DONNA] Just promise me one thing. Find someone. [DOCTOR] I don't need anyone. [DONNA] Yes, you do. Because sometimes, I think you need someone to stopyou. [DOCTOR] Yeah. Thanks then, Donna. Good luck. And just be magnificent. [DONNA] I think I will, yeah. Doctor? [DOCTOR] Oh, what is it now? [DONNA] That friend of yours. What was her name? [DOCTOR] Her name was Rose.

Doctor Who (31 Mar, 2007; Tenth Doctor) - Smith and Jones [RADIO] What can happen on an average beautiful day? You never know.Celebrate seasonal changes. It's hot for brothers. On a beautifulsunshiny day. [MARTHA] You're up early. What's happening? --------------------------------------- (Jones' home) [TISH] It's a nightmare, because Dad won't listen, and I'm telling you,Mum is going mental. Swear to God, Martha, this is epic. You've got toget in there and stop him. --------------------------------------- (Street) [MARTHA] How do I do that? --------------------------------------- (Jones' home) [TISH] Tell him he can't bring her. --------------------------------------- (Street) [MARTHA] Hold on, that's Leo. I'll call you back. --------------------------------------- (Leo's home) [LEO] Martha, If Mum and Dad start to kick off, tell them I don't evenwant a party. I didn't even ask for one. They can always give me themoney instead. --------------------------------------- (Street) [MARTHA] Yeah, but why do I have to tell them? Whycan't you? (Beep beep.) Hold on, that's Mum. I'll call you back. --------------------------------------- (Jones' home) [FRANCINE] I don't mind your father making a fool ofhimself in private, but this is Leo's 21st, everyone is going to bethere, and the entire family is going to look ridiculous. --------------------------------------- (Street) [MARTHA] Mum, it's a party. I can't stop Dad frombringing his girlfriend. (Beep beep.) Hold on, that's Dad, I'll callyou back. --------------------------------------- (Car) [CLIVE] Martha? Now, tell your mother, Leo is my son, and I'm paying forhalf that party. I'm entitled to bring who I like. --------------------------------------- (Street) [MARTHA] I know, but think what it's going to looklike for Mum, if you're standing there with Annalise. --------------------------------------- (Car) [CLIVE] What's wrong with Annalise? [ANNALISE] Is that Martha? Say hi. Hi, Martha, hi! --------------------------------------- (Street) [MARTHA] Hi, Annalise. --------------------------------------- (Car) [ANNALISE] Big kiss, lots of love, see you at theparty, babe. Now, take me shopping, big boy. --------------------------------------- (Chancellor Street) [DOCTOR] Like so. [DOCTOR] See? [MARTHA] Oi! Watch, it mate. --------------------------------------- (Hospital ward) [FLORENCE] I was all right till this morning, and then, I don't know, Iwoke up and I felt all dizzy again. It was worse than when I came in. [STOKER] Pulse is slightly thready. Well, let's see what Britain'sfinest might suggest. Any ideas, Morgenstern? [MORGENSTERN] Dizziness can be a sign of early onset diabetes. [STOKER] Hardly early onset, if you'll forgive me, Miss Finnegan. Anymore ideas? Swales? [SWALES] Er, could recommend a CT scan. [STOKER] And spend all our money? Jones? [MARTHA] We could take bloods and check for Meniere's disease. [STOKER] Or we could simply ask the patient. What did you have fordinner last night? [FLORENCE] I had salad. [STOKER] And the night before? [FLORENCE] Salad again. [STOKER] And salad every night for the past week, contrary to myinstructions. Salt deficiency, that's all. Simple, honest salt. --------------------------------------- (Hospital corridor) [STOKER] Hippocrates himself expounded on thevirtues of salt. Recommended the inhalation of steam from sea water.Though no doubt if he'd been afflicted with my students, results mighthave been rather more colourful. --------------------------------------- (Orthopedic ward) [STOKER] Now then, Mister Smith, a very good morning to you. How are youtoday? [DOCTOR] Oh, not so bad. Still a bit, you know, blah. [STOKER] John Smith, admitted yesterday with severe abdominal pains.Jones, why don't you see what you can find? Amaze me. [MARTHA] That wasn't very clever, running around outside, was it? [DOCTOR] Sorry? [MARTHA] On Chancellor Street this morning? You came up to me and tookyour tie off. [DOCTOR] Really? What did I do that for? [MARTHA] I don't know, you just did. [DOCTOR] Not me. I was here, in bed. Ask the nurses. [MARTHA] Well, that's weird, cause it looked like you. Have you got abrother? [DOCTOR] No, not any more. Just me. [STOKER] As time passes and I grow ever more infirm and weary, MissJones. [MARTHA] Sorry. Right. [STOKER] I weep for future generations. Are you having trouble locatingthe heart, Miss Jones? [MARTHA] Er, I don't know. Stomach cramps? [STOKER] That is a symptom, not a diagnosis. And you rather failed basictechniques by not consulting first with the patient's chart. [MARTHA] That happened to me this morning. [MORGENSTERN] I had the same thing on the door handle. [SWALES] And me, on the lift. [STOKER] That's only to be expected. There's a thunderstorm moving inand lightning is a form of static electricity, as was first proven by.Anyone? [DOCTOR] Benjamin Franklin. [STOKER] Correct. [DOCTOR] My mate, Ben. That was a day and a half. I got rope burns offthat kite, and then I got soaked.. [STOKER] Quite. [DOCTOR] And then I got electrocuted. [STOKER] Moving on. I think perhaps a visit from psychiatric. And nextwe have --------------------------------------- (Doctor's rest room) [MARTHA] No, listen, I've worked out a plan. We tell Annelise that thebuffet tonight is one hundred per cent carbohydrate, and she won't turnup. [TISH [OC]] I wish you'd take this seriously. --------------------------------------- (Street) [TISH] That's our inheritance she's spending, onfake tan. Tell you what, I'm not that far away, I'll drop by for asandwich and we can draw up a battle plan. --------------------------------------- (Doctor's rest room) [MARTHA] In this weather? I'm not going out. It'spouring down. --------------------------------------- (Street) [TISH] It's not raining here. [TISH] That's weird. It's raining right on top of you, I can see it, butit's dry where I am. --------------------------------------- (Doctor's rest room) [MARTHA] Well, you just got lucky. --------------------------------------- (Chancellor Street) [TISH] No, but it's like in cartoons. You know, whena man's got a cloud over his head. [MARTHA [OC]] Yeah, but listen --------------------------------------- (Doctor's rest room) [MARTHA] I'll tell you what we'll do. [MARTHA] We tell Dad and Annalise to get there early, about seventhirty, and we tell Leo get there at the same time so we can do allthat birthday stuff. We tell Mum to get there for about eight thirty,nine, and that gives me time to have a word with Annalise, and [MARTHA] What? [SWALES] The rain. [MARTHA] It's only rain. --------------------------------------- (Chancellor Street) [TISH] Martha, have you seen the rain? --------------------------------------- (Doctor's rest room) [MARTHA] Why's everyone fussing about rain? [SWALES] It's going up. [TISH] The rain is going up. --------------------------------------- (Doctor's rest room) [MARTHA] What the hell was that? [SWALES] Are you all right? [MARTHA] I think so, yeah. It felt like an earthquake, or [SWALES] Martha? It's night. Look. It was lunchtime. [MARTHA] It's not night. [SWALES] But it's got to be. It's dark. [MARTHA] We're on the moon. [SWALES] We can't be. [MARTHA] We're on the moon. We're on the bloody moon. --------------------------------------- (Chancellor Street) [POLICEMAN] Sorry, miss, no. [TISH] My god. [TISH] Martha? Martha, can you hear me? Martha! --------------------------------------- (Hospital corridor) [FLORENCE] Have you seen? [MARTHA] I'm sorry, I can't. --------------------------------------- (Orthopedic ward) [MARTHA] All right now, everyone back to bed, we'vegot an emergency but we'll sort it out. Don't worry. [MARTHA] It's real. It's really real. Hold on. [SWALES] Don't! We'll lose all the air. [MARTHA] But they're not exactly air tight. If the air was going to getsucked out it would have happened straight away, but it didn't. So howcome? [DOCTOR] Very good point. Brilliant, in fact. What was your name? [MARTHA] Martha. [DOCTOR] And it was Jones, wasn't it? Well then, Martha Jones, thequestion is, how are we still breathing? [SWALES] We can't be. [DOCTOR] Obviously we are, so don't waste my time. Martha, what have wegot? Is there a balcony on this floor, or a veranda, or [MARTHA] By the patients' lounge, yeah. [DOCTOR] Fancy going out? [MARTHA] Okay. [DOCTOR] We might die. [MARTHA] We might not. [DOCTOR] Good. Come on. Not her, she'd hold us up. --------------------------------------- (Patients' lounge balcony) [MARTHA] We've got air. How does that work? [DOCTOR] Just be glad it does. [MARTHA] I've got a party tonight. It's my brother's twenty first. Mymother's going to be really, really [DOCTOR] You okay? [MARTHA] Yeah. [DOCTOR] Sure? [MARTHA] Yeah. [DOCTOR] Want to go back in? [MARTHA] No way. I mean, we could die any minute, but all the same, it'sbeautiful. [DOCTOR] Do you think? [MARTHA] How many people want to go to the moon? And here we are. [DOCTOR] Standing in the Earthlight. [MARTHA] What do you think happened? [DOCTOR] What do you think? [MARTHA] Extraterrestrial. It's got to be. I don't know, a few years agothat would have sounded mad, but these days? That spaceship flying intoBig Ben, Christmas, those Cybermen things. I had a cousin. Adeola. Sheworked at Canary Wharf. She never came home. [DOCTOR] I'm sorry. [MARTHA] Yeah. [DOCTOR] I was there, in the battle. [MARTHA] I promise you, Mister Smith, we will find a way out. If we cantravel to the moon, then we can travel back. There's got to be a way. [DOCTOR] It's not Smith. That's not my real name. [MARTHA] Who are you, then? [DOCTOR] I'm the Doctor. [MARTHA] Me too, if I can pass my exams. What is it then, Doctor Smith? [DOCTOR] Just the Doctor. [MARTHA] How do you mean, just the Doctor? [DOCTOR] Just the Doctor. [MARTHA] What, people call you the Doctor? [DOCTOR] Yeah. [MARTHA] Well, I'm not. As far as I'm concerned, you've got to earn thattitle. [DOCTOR] Well, I'd better make a start, then. Let's have a look. Theremust be some sort of [DOCTOR] Forcefield keeping the air in. [MARTHA] But if that's like a bubble sealing us in, that means this isthe only air we've got. What happens when it runs out? [DOCTOR] How many people in this hospital? [MARTHA] I don't know. A thousand? [DOCTOR] One thousand people Suffocating. [MARTHA] Why would anyone do that? [DOCTOR] Head's up! Ask them yourself. [MARTHA] Aliens. That's aliens. Real, proper aliens. [DOCTOR] Judoon. --------------------------------------- (Stoker's office) [FLORENCE] Mister Stoker? I'm sorry, I didn't know who else to ask, butcan you help me? [STOKER] I think we've gone beyond aspirin, Miss er [FLORENCE] Finnegan. [STOKER] Names. What are names now when something unnamable is marchingtowards us across the moon? Two more years, I thought. Two more yearsand then retire to Florida. But there is Florida, in the sky. I can seeit. My daughter, she's still in university. I am never going to see heragain. [FLORENCE] But I need help, Mister Stoker. [STOKER] I can't do anything. [FLORENCE] Oh, I think you can. [STOKER] What do you two want? It's a bit too late to sign for anything. [FLORENCE] These are my lovely boys. I prefer not to get my hands dirty. [STOKER] I'm sorry? [FLORENCE] You see, there are great tests to come, and terrible deeds.Some of them my own. But if I am to survive this, I need you. [STOKER] What are you talking about? [FLORENCE] Blood. Specifically, yours. [STOKER] What are you doing? What are you doing? Well, let go of me!What the hell? Let go. [FLORENCE] You see, I was only salt deficient because I am so very goodat absorbing it. But now I need fire in my veins, and who better than aconsultant, with blood full of salty fats and vintage wines and allthose Michelin star sauces. [STOKER] Who are you? [FLORENCE] Oh, I'm a survivor, Mister Stoker. At any cost. Look, I'veeven brought a straw. --------------------------------------- (Hospital reception) [WOMAN] What are they doing? [JUDOON] Blos so folt do no cro blo cos so ro. [MORGENSTERN] Er, we are citizens of planet Earth. We welcome you inpeace. [MORGENSTERN] Please don't hurt me. I was just trying to help. I'msorry, don't hurt me. Please don't hurt me. [JUDOON] Language assimilated. Designation Earth English. You will becatalogued. [JUDOON] Category human. [JUDOON] Catalogue all suspects. --------------------------------------- (Mezzanine level) [DOCTOR] Oh, look down there, you've got a little shop. I like a littleshop. [MARTHA] Never mind that. What are Judoon? [DOCTOR] They're like police. Well, police for hire. They're more likeinterplanetary thugs. [MARTHA] And they brought us to the moon? [DOCTOR] Neutral territory. According to galactic law, they've got nojurisdiction over the Earth, and they isolated it. That rain,lightning? That was them, using an H2O scoop. [MARTHA] What are you on about, galactic law? Where'd you get that from?If they're police, are we under arrest? Are we trespassing on the moonor something? [DOCTOR] No, but I like that. Good thinking. No, I wish it were thatsimple. They're making a catalogue. That means they're after somethingnon human, which is very bad news for me. [MARTHA] Why? Oh, you're kidding me. Don't be ridiculous. Stop lookingat me like that. [DOCTOR] Come on then. --------------------------------------- (Hospital reception) [JUDOON] Troop five, floor one. Troop six, floortwo. Identify humans and find the transgressor. Find it. --------------------------------------- (Outpatients department) [JUDOON] Prepare to be catalogued. [MORGENSTERN] Do what they say. All they want is to shine this lightthing. It's all right. They're not going to hurt us. Just listen tothem. [JUDOON] Witness the crime. Charge, physical assault. Plea, guilty.Sentence, execution. [MORGENSTERN] You didn't have to do that. [JUDOON] Justice is swift. --------------------------------------- (Admin office) [MARTHA] They've reached third floor. What's that thing? [DOCTOR] Sonic screwdriver. [MARTHA] Well, if you're not going to answer me properly. [DOCTOR] No, really, it is. It's a screwdriver, and it's sonic. Look. [MARTHA] What else have you got, a laser spanner? [DOCTOR] I did, but it was stolen by Emily Pankhurst, cheeky woman. Oh,this computer! The Judoon must have locked it down. Judoon platoon uponthe moon. Because I was just travelling past. I swear, I was justwandering. I wasn't looking for trouble, honestly, I wasn't, but Inoticed these plasma coils around the hospital, and that lightning,that's a plasma coil. Been building up for two days now, so I checkedin. I thought something was going on inside. It turns out the plasmacoils were the Judoon up above. [MARTHA] But what were they looking for? [DOCTOR] Something that looks human, but isn't. [MARTHA] Like you, apparently. [DOCTOR] Like me. But not me. [MARTHA] Haven't they got a photo? [DOCTOR] Well, might be a shape-changer. [MARTHA] Whatever it is, can't you just leave the Judoon to find it? [DOCTOR] If they declare the hospital guilty of harbouring a fugitive,they'll sentence it to execution. [MARTHA] All of us? [DOCTOR] Oh yes. If I can find this thing first. Oh! You see, they'rethick! Judoon are thick! They are completely thick! They wiped therecords. Oh, that's clever. [MARTHA] What are we looking for? [DOCTOR] I don't know. Say, any patient admitted in the past week withunusual symptoms. Maybe there's a back-up. [MARTHA] Just keep working. I'll go ask Mister Stoker. He might know. --------------------------------------- (Stoker's office) [MARTHA] Mister Stoker? [FLORENCE] Kill her! --------------------------------------- (Outside the office) [DOCTOR] I've restored the back-up. [MARTHA] I found her. [DOCTOR] You did what? [DOCTOR] Run! --------------------------------------- (Radiology) [DOCTOR] When I say now, press the button. [MARTHA] But I don't know which one. [DOCTOR] Then find out! [DOCTOR] Now! [MARTHA] What did you do? [DOCTOR] Increased the radiation by five thousand per cent. Killed himdead. [MARTHA] But isn't that going to kill you? [DOCTOR] Nah, it's only roentgen radiation. We used to play withroentgen bricks in the nursery. It's safe for you to come out. I'veabsorbed it all. All I need to do is expel it. If I concentrate I canshake the radiation out of my body and into one spot. It's in my leftshoe. Here we go, here we go. Easy does it. Out, out, out, out, out.Out, out. Ah, ah, ah, ah! It is, it is, it is, it is, it is hot. Holdon. [DOCTOR] Done. [MARTHA] You're completely mad. [DOCTOR] You're right. I look daft with one shoe. [DOCTOR] Barefoot on the moon. [MARTHA] So what is that thing? And where's it from, the planet Zovirax? [DOCTOR] It's just a Slab. They're called Slabs. Basic slave drones.See? Solid leather, all the way through. Someone has got one hell of afetish. [MARTHA] But it was that woman, Miss Finnegan. It was working for her,just like a servant. [DOCTOR] My sonic screwdriver. [MARTHA] She was one of the patients, but [DOCTOR] Oh, no. My sonic screwdriver. [MARTHA] She had a straw like some kind of vampire. [DOCTOR] I loved my sonic screwdriver. [MARTHA] Doctor? [DOCTOR] Sorry. [DOCTOR] You called me Doctor. [MARTHA] Anyway? Miss Finnegan is the alien. She was drinking MisterStoker's blood. [DOCTOR] Funny time to take a snack. You'd think she'd be hiding.Unless. No. Yes, that's it. Wait a minute. Yes! Shape-changer. Internalshape-changer. She wasn't drinking blood, she was assimilating it. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [JUDOON] Prepare to be catalogued. Human. --------------------------------------- (Radiology) [DOCTOR] If she can assimilate Mister Stoker'sblood, mimic the biology, she'll register as human. We've got to findher and show the Judoon. Come on! --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [JUDOON] Human. --------------------------------------- (Outside Pathology) [DOCTOR] That's the thing about Slabs. They always travel in pairs. [MARTHA] What about you? [DOCTOR] What about me what? [MARTHA] Haven't you got back-up? You must have a partner or something? [DOCTOR] Oh. Humans. We're stuck on the moon running out of air withJudoon and a bloodsucking criminal, you're asking personal questions?Come on. [MARTHA] I like that. Humans. I'm still not convinced you're an alien. [JUDOON] Non-human. [MARTHA] Oh my God, you really are. [DOCTOR] And again. --------------------------------------- (Upper corridor) [DOCTOR] They've done this floor. Come on. The Judoon are logical andjust a little bit thick. They won't go back to check a floor they'vechecked already. If we're lucky. [MARTHA] How much oxygen is there? [SWALES] Not enough for all these people. We're going to run out. [DOCTOR] How are you feeling? Are you all right? [MARTHA] I'm running on adrenaline. [DOCTOR] Welcome to my world. [MARTHA] What about the Judoon? [DOCTOR] Nah, great big lung reserves. It won't slow them down. Where'sMister Stoker's office? [MARTHA] It's this way. --------------------------------------- (Stoker's office) [MARTHA] She's gone. She was here. [DOCTOR] Drained him dry. Every last drop. I was right. She's aplasmavore. [MARTHA] What's she doing on Earth? [DOCTOR] Hiding. On the run. Like Ronald Biggs in Rio de Janeiro. What'sshe doing now? She's still not safe. The Judoon could execute us all.Come on. [MARTHA] Wait a minute. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [DOCTOR] Think, think, think. If I was a plasmavoresurrounded by police, what would I do? [DOCTOR] Ah. She's as clever as me. Almost. [JUDOON] Find the non-human. Execute. [DOCTOR] Martha, stay here. I need time. You've got to hold them up. [MARTHA] How do I do that? [DOCTOR] Just forgive me for this. It could save a thousand lives. Itmeans nothing. Honestly, nothing. [MARTHA] That was nothing? --------------------------------------- (MRI room) [DOCTOR] Have you seen them? There are these things. These great bigspace rhino things. I mean, rhinos from space. And we're on the moon!Great big space rhinos with guns on the moon. And I only came in for mybunions, look. I mean, all fixed now. Perfectly good treatment. Thenurses were lovely. I said to my wife, I said I'd recommend this placeto anyone, but then we end up on the moon. And did I mention therhinos? [FLORENCE] Hold him. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [JUDOON] Find the non-human. Execute. [MARTHA] Now listen, I know who you're looking for. She's this woman.She calls herself Florence. [JUDOON] Human. Wait. Non-human traits suspected. Non-human elementconfirmed. Authorise full scan. What are you? What are you? --------------------------------------- (MRI room) [DOCTOR] Er, that, that big er machine thing. Is itsupposed to be making that noise? [FLORENCE] You wouldn't understand. [DOCTOR] But isn't that a magnetic resonance imaging thing? Like aginormous sort of a magnet? I did magnetics GCSE. Well, I failed, butall the same. [FLORENCE] The magnetic setting now increased to fifty thousand Tesla. [DOCTOR] Ooo, that's a bit strong, isn't it? [FLORENCE] It'll send out a magnetic pulse that'll fry the brain stemsof every living thing within two hundred and fifty thousand miles.Except for me, safe in this room. [DOCTOR] But er, hold on, hold on, I did geography GCSE. I passed thatone. Doesn't that distance include the Earth? [FLORENCE] Only the side facing the moon. The other half will survive.Call it my little gift. [DOCTOR] I'm sorry, you'll have to excuse me, I'm a little out of mydepth. I've spent the past fifteen years working as a postman. Hencethe bunions. Why would you do that? [FLORENCE] With everyone dead, the Judoon ships will be mine, to make myescape. [DOCTOR] No, that's weird. You're talking like you're some sort of analien. [FLORENCE] Quite so. [DOCTOR] No! [FLORENCE] Oh, yes. [DOCTOR] You're joshing me. [FLORENCE] I am not. [DOCTOR] I'm talking to an alien? In hospital? What, has the place gotan ET department? [FLORENCE] It's the perfect hiding place. Blood banks downstairs for amidnight feast, and all this equipment ready to arm myself with shouldthe police come looking. [DOCTOR] So, those rhinos, they're looking for you? [FLORENCE] Yes. But I'm hidden. [DOCTOR] Right. Maybe that's why they're increasing their scans. [FLORENCE] They're doing what? [DOCTOR] Big chief rhino boy, he said, no sign of a non-human, we mustincrease our scans up to setting two? [FLORENCE] Then I must assimilate again. [DOCTOR] What does that mean? [FLORENCE] I must appear to be human. [DOCTOR] Well, you're welcome to come home and meet the wife. She'd behonoured. We can have cake. [FLORENCE] Why should I have cake? I've got my little straw. [DOCTOR] Oh, that's nice. Milkshake? I like banana. [FLORENCE] You're quite the funny man. And yet, I think, laughing onpurpose at the darkness. I think it's time you found some peace. Steadyhim! [DOCTOR] What are you doing? [FLORENCE] I'm afraid this is going to hurt. But if it's anyconsolation, the dead don't tend to remember. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [JUDOON] Confirm human. Traces of facial contact with non-human.Continue the search. [JUDOON] You will need this. [MARTHA] What's that for? [JUDOON] Compensation. --------------------------------------- (MRI room) [FLORENCE] Now see what you've done. This poor man just died of fright. [JUDOON] Scan him. Confirmation. Deceased. [MARTHA] No, he can't be. Let me through. Let me see him. [JUDOON] Stop. Case closed. [MARTHA] But it was her. She killed him. She did it. She murdered him. [JUDOON] Judoon have no authority over human crime. [MARTHA] But she's not human. [FLORENCE] Oh, but I am. I've been catalogued. [MARTHA] But she's not! She assimi. Wait a minute. You drank his blood?The Doctor's blood? (Martha points a Judoon scanner at Florence.) [FLORENCE] Oh, I don't mind. Scan all you like. [JUDOON] Non-human. [FLORENCE] But, what? [JUDOON] Confirm analysis. [FLORENCE] Oh, but it's a mistake, surely. I'm human. I'm as human asthey come. [MARTHA] He gave his life so they'd find you. [JUDOON] Confirm. Plasmavore, charged with the crime of murdering thechild princess of Patrival Regency Nine. [FLORENCE] Well, she deserved it! Those pink cheeks and those blondecurls and that simpering voice. She was begging for the bite of aplasmavore. [JUDOON] Then you confess? [FLORENCE] Confess? I'm proud of it! Slab, stop them! [JUDOON] Verdict, guilty. Sentence, execution. [FLORENCE] Enjoy your victory, Judoon, because you're going to burn withme. Burn in hell! [JUDOON] Case closed. [MARTHA] But what did she mean, burn with me? The scanner shouldn't bedoing that. She's done something. [JUDOON] Scans detect lethal acceleration of monomagnetic pulse. [MARTHA] Well, do something! Stop it! [JUDOON] Our jurisdiction has ended. Judoon will evacuate. [MARTHA] What? You can't just leave it. What's it going to do? [JUDOON] All units withdraw. --------------------------------------- (Hospital reception) [MORGENSTERN] What about the air? We're running out of air. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [MARTHA] You can't go! That thing's going to explodeand it's your fault! --------------------------------------- (MRI room) [MARTHA] One, two, three, four, five. One, two, three, four, five. Twohearts! One, two, three, four, five. One, two, three, four, five. [MARTHA] The scanner. She did something. [DOCTOR] Soddit. --------------------------------------- (Hospital ward) [DOCTOR] Come on, come on, come on, come on, please. Come on, Judoon,reverse it. [DOCTOR] It's raining, Martha. It's raining on the moon. --------------------------------------- (Outside the hospital) [MORGENSTERN] I told them I represented the human race. I told them, youcan't do that. I said, we have rights. [TISH] Martha! Oh, God! I thought you were dead! What happened? It wasso weird, because the police wouldn't say. They didn't have a clue. AndI tried phoning. Mum's on her way, but she can't get through. They'veclosed off all the roads. [TISH] There's thousands of people trying to get in. The whole city'scome to a halt. And Dad phoned, because it's on the news andeverything. He was crying. [TISH] Oh, what a mess. What happened? I mean, what really happened?Where were you? --------------------------------------- (Martha's home) [RADIO] Eyewitness reports from the Royal Hope Hospital continue to pourin, and it all seems to be remarkably consistent. This from medicalstudent Oliver Morgenstern. [MORGENSTERN [OC]] I was there. I saw it happen. And I feel uniquelyprivileged. I looked out at the surface of the moon. I saw the Earth,suspended in space, and it all just proves Mister Saxon right. We'renot alone in the universe. There's life out there. Wild andextraordinary life. --------------------------------------- (Outside the Market Tavern) [ANNALISE] I am not staying in there to be insulted! [CLIVE] She didn't mean it, sweetheart. She was just saying you lookhealthy. [FRANCINE] No, I did not. I said orange. [ANNALISE] Clive, that woman is disrespecting me. She's never liked me. [FRANCINE] Oh, I can't think why, after you stole my husband. [ANNALISE] I was seduced. I'm entirely innocent. Tell her, babe. [FRANCINE] And then she has a go at Martha, practically accused her ofmaking the whole thing up. [MARTHA] Mum, I don't mind. Just leave it. [ANNALISE] Oh. I've been to the moon! As if. They were drugged. It saidso on the news. [FRANCINE] Since when did you watch the news? You can't handle QuizMania. [TISH] Annalise started it. She did. I heard her. [LEO] Tish, don't make it worse. [TISH] Oh, come off it, Leo. What did she buy you? Soap. A seventy fivepence soap. [ANNALISE] Oh, I'm never talking to your family again! [FRANCINE] Oh, stay. Have a night out with Clive. [CLIVE] Don't you dare. I'm putting my foot down. [ANNALISE] You coming? [CLIVE] This is me, putting my foot down. [FRANCINE] Doing it for the last twenty five years! [CLIVE] Please. [FRANCINE] Clive, stop, now! [TISH] Mum, don't. I --------------------------------------- (Alleyway) [MARTHA] I went to the moon today. [DOCTOR] A bit more peaceful than down here. [MARTHA] You never even told me who you are. [DOCTOR] The Doctor. [MARTHA] What sort of species? It's not every day I get to ask that. [DOCTOR] I'm a Time Lord. [MARTHA] Right! Not pompous at all, then. [DOCTOR] I just thought since you saved my life and I've got a brand newsonic screwdriver which needs road testing, you might fancy a trip. [MARTHA] What, into space? [DOCTOR] Well. [MARTHA] But I can't. I've got exams. I've got things to do. I have togo into town first thing and pay the rent, I've got my family goingmad. [DOCTOR] If it helps, I can travel in time as well. [MARTHA] Get out of here. [DOCTOR] I can. [MARTHA] Come on now, that's going too far. [DOCTOR] I'll prove it. [DOCTOR] Told you. [MARTHA] No, but, that was this morning. Did you? Oh, my God. You cantravel in time. But hold on. If you could see me this morning, whydidn't you tell me not to go in to work? [DOCTOR] Crossing into established events is strictly forbidden. Exceptfor cheap tricks. [MARTHA] And that's your spaceship? [DOCTOR] It's called the Tardis. Time and Relative Dimension in Space. [MARTHA] Your spaceship's made of wood. There's not much room. We'd be abit intimate. [DOCTOR] Take a look. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [MARTHA] No, no, no. --------------------------------------- (Alleyway) [MARTHA] But it's just a box. But it's huge. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [MARTHA] How does it do that? It's wood. It's like abox with that room just rammed in. It's bigger on the inside. [DOCTOR] Is it? I hadn't noticed. [DOCTOR] Right then, let's get going. [MARTHA] But is there a crew, like a navigator and stuff? Where iseveryone? [DOCTOR] Just me. [MARTHA] All on your own? [DOCTOR] Well, sometimes I have guests. I mean some friends, travellingalongside. I had. There was recently, a friend of mine. Rose, her namewas. Rose. And we were together. Anyway. [MARTHA] Where is she now? [DOCTOR] With her family. Happy. She's fine. She's. Not that you'rereplacing her. [MARTHA] Never said I was. [DOCTOR] Just one trip to say thanks. You get one trip, then back home.I'd rather be on my own. [MARTHA] You're the one that kissed me. [DOCTOR] That was a genetic transfer. [MARTHA] And if you will wear a tight suit. [DOCTOR] Now, don't! [MARTHA] And then travel all the way across the universe just to ask meon a date. [DOCTOR] Stop it. [MARTHA] For the record? I'm not remotely interested. I only go forhumans. [DOCTOR] Good. Well, then. Close down the gravitic anomaliser, fire upthe helmic regulator. And finally, the hand brake. Ready? [MARTHA] No. [DOCTOR] Off we go. [MARTHA] Blimey, it's a bit bumpy. [DOCTOR] Welcome aboard, Miss Jones. [MARTHA] It's my pleasure, Mister Smith.

[DOCTOR [on screen]] Yeah. Yeah, people don't understand time. It's notwhat you think it is. [SALLY] Who is this guy? [LARRY] Sorry, the pause thing keeps slipping. Stupid thing. [SALLY] Last night at Kathy's, you had him on all those screens. Thatsame guy. Talking about, Idon't know, blinking or something. [LARRY] Yeah, the bit about the blinking's great. I was just checking tosee if they were all the same. [SALLY] What were the same? What is this? Who is he? [LARRY] An Easter egg. [SALLY] Excuse me? [LARRY] Like a DVD extra, yeah? You know how on DVDs they put extras on,documentaries and stuff? Well, sometimes they put on hidden ones, andthey call them Easter eggs. You have to go looking for them. Follow abunch of clues on the menu screen. [DOCTOR [on screen]] Complicated. [LARRY] Sorry. It's interesting, actually. He is on seventeen differentDVDs. There are seventeen totally unrelated DVDs, all with him on.Always hidden away, always a secret. Not even the publishers know howhe got there. I've talked to the manufacturers, right? They don't evenknow. He's like he's a ghost DVD extra. Just shows up where he's notsupposed to be. But only on those. Those seventeen. [SALLY] Well, what does he do? [LARRY] Just sits there, making random remarks. It's like we're hearinghalf a conversation. Me and the guys are always trying to work out theother half. [SALLY] When you say you and the guys, you mean the internet, don't you? [LARRY] How'd you know? [SALLY] Spooky, isn't it? [DOCTOR] Very complicated. [BANTO [OC]] Laurence? Need you. [LARRY] Excuse me a sec. [DOCTOR [on screen]] People assume that time is a strict progression ofcause to effect, but actually from a non-linear, non-subjectiveviewpoint, it's more like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimeystuff. [SALLY] Started well, that sentence. [DOCTOR] It got away from me, yeah. [SALLY] Okay, that was weird. Like you can hear me. [DOCTOR] Well, I can hear you. [SALLY] Okay, that's enough. I've had enough now. I've had a long dayand I've had bloody enough! Sorry. Bad day. [LARRY] Got you the list. [SALLY] What? [LARRY] The seventeen DVDs. I thought you might be interested. [SALLY] Yeah, great. Thanks. --------------------------------------- (DVD store) [BANTO] Go to the police, you stupid woman. Why does nobody ever just goto the police? --------------------------------------- (Police station) [SALLY] Look, I know how mad I'm sounding. [DESK SERGEANT] Shall we try it from the beginning this time? [SALLY] Okay. There's this house. A big old house, been empty for years,falling apart. Wester Drumlins, out by the estate. You've probably seenit. [DESK SERGEANT] Wester Drumlin? [SALLY] Yes. [DESK SERGEANT] Could you just wait here for a minute? [SALLY] Okay, cracking up now. [BILLY] Hi. DI Billy Shipton. Wester Drumlins, that's mine. Can't talkto you now, got a thing I can't be late for, so if you could just.Hello. [SALLY] Hello. [BILLY] Eh, Marcie, can you tell them I'm going to be late for thatthing? --------------------------------------- (Underground car park) [SALLY] All of them? [BILLY] Over the last two years, yeah. They all still have personalitems in them and a couple still had the motor running. [SALLY] So over the last two years, the owners of all of these vehicleshave driven up to Wester Drumlins House, parked outside and justdisappeared. [SALLY] What's that? [BILLY] Ah! The pride of the Wester Drumlins collection. We found thatthere, too. Somebody's idea of a joke, I suppose. [SALLY] But what is it? What's a police box? [BILLY] Well, it's a special kind of phone box for policemen. They usedto have them all over. But this isn't a real one. The phone's just adummy, and the windows are the wrong size. We can't even get in it.Ordinary Yale lock, but nothing fits. But that's not the big question.See, you're missing the big question. [SALLY] Okay, what's the big question? [BILLY] Will you have a drink with me? [SALLY] I'm sorry? [BILLY] Drink? You? Me? Now? [SALLY] Aren't you on duty, Detective Inspector Shipton? [BILLY] Nope. Knocked off before I left. Told them I had a familycrisis. [SALLY] Why? [BILLY] Because life is short and you are hot. Drink? [SALLY] No. [BILLY] Ever? [SALLY] Maybe. [BILLY] Phone number? [SALLY] Moving kind of fast, DI Shipton. [BILLY] Billy. I'm off duty. [SALLY] Aren't you just. [BILLY] Is that your phone number? [SALLY] Just my phone number. Not a promise. Not a guarantee. Not anIOU. Just a phone number. [BILLY] And that's Sally? [SALLY] Sally Shipton. Sparrow! Sally Sparrow. I'm going now. Don't lookat me. [BILLY] I'll phone you. [SALLY] Don't look at me. [BILLY] Phone you tomorrow. [SALLY] Don't look at me. [BILLY] Might even phone you tonight. [SALLY] Don't look at me! [BILLY] Definitely going to phone you, gorgeous girl! [SALLY] You definitely better! --------------------------------------- (Street) [BILLY [OC]] Ordinary Yale lock, but nothing fits. --------------------------------------- (Alleyway) [DOCTOR] Welcome. [BILLY] Where am I? [DOCTOR] 1969. Not bad, as it goes. You've got the moon landing to lookforward to. [MARTHA] Oh, the moon landing's brilliant. We went four times, back whenwe had transport. [DOCTOR] Working on it. [BILLY] How did I get here? [DOCTOR] The same way we did. The touch of an angel. Same one, probably,since you ended up in the same year. No, no. No, no, no, don't get up.Time travel without a capsule. Nasty. Catch your breath. Don't goswimming for half an hour. [BILLY] I don't. I can't. [DOCTOR] Fascinating race, the Weeping Angels. The only psychopaths inthe universe to kill you nicely. No mess, no fuss, they just zap youinto the past and let you live to death. The rest of your life used upand blown away in the blink of an eye. You die in the past, and in thepresent they consume the energy of all the days you might have had. Allyour stolen moments. They're creatures of the abstract. They live offpotential energy. [BILLY] What in God's name are you talking about? [MARTHA] Trust me. Just nod when he stops for breath. [DOCTOR] Tracked you down with this. This is my timey-wimey detector. Itgoes ding when there's stuff. Also, it can boil an egg at thirty paces,whether you want it to or not, actually, so I've learned to stay awayfrom hens. It's not pretty when they blow. [BILLY] I don't understand. Where am I? [MARTHA] 1969, like he says. [DOCTOR] Normally, I'd offer you a lift home, but somebody nicked mymotor. So I need you to take a message to Sally Sparrow. And I'm sorry,Billy. I am very, very sorry. It's going to take you a while. --------------------------------------- (Underground car park) [SALLY] Hello? Billy, where are you? Where? --------------------------------------- (Geriatric ward) [SALLY] Billy? [BILLY] It was raining when we met. [SALLY] It's the same rain. [SALLY] She looks nice. [BILLY] Her name was Sally, too. [SALLY] Sally Shipton. [BILLY] Sally Shipton. I often thought about looking for you beforetonight, but apparently it would've torn a hole in the fabric of spaceand time, and destroyed two thirds of the universe. Also, I'd lost myhair. [SALLY] Two thirds of the universe. Where'd you get that from? [BILLY] There's a man in 1969. He sent me with a message for you. [SALLY] What man? [BILLY] The Doctor. [SALLY] And what was the message? [BILLY] Just this. Look at the list. [SALLY] What does that mean? Is that it? Look at the list? [BILLY] He said you'd have it by now. A list of seventeen DVDs. I didn'tstay a policeman back then. Got into publishing. Then video publishing.Then DVDs, of course. [SALLY] You put the Easter Egg on. [BILLY] Have you noticed what all seventeen DVDs have in common yet? Isuppose it's hard for you, in a way. [SALLY] How could the Doctor have even known I had a list? I only justgot this. [BILLY] I asked him how, but he said he couldn't tell me. He said you'dunderstand it one day, but that I never would. [SALLY] Soon as I understand it, I'll come and tell you. [BILLY] No, gorgeous girl, you can't. There's only tonight. He told meall those years ago that we'll only meet again this one time. On thenight I die. [SALLY] Oh, Billy. [BILLY] It's kept me going. I'm an old, sick man. But I've had somethingto look forward to. Ah, life is long, and you are hot. Oh, look at myhands. They're old man's hands. How did that happen? [SALLY] I'll stay. I'm going to stay with you, okay? [BILLY] Thank you, Sally Sparrow. I have till the rain stops. --------------------------------------- (Back room) [LARRY] Banto's. [SALLY [OC]] They're mine. [LARRY] What? --------------------------------------- (Street) [SALLY] The DVDs on the list. The seventeen DVDs.What they've got in common is me. They're all the DVDs I own. TheEaster Egg was intended for me. --------------------------------------- (Back room) [LARRY] You've only got seventeen DVDs? --------------------------------------- (Street) [SALLY] Do you have a portable DVD player? [LARRY [OC]] Of course. Why? [SALLY] I want you to meet me. --------------------------------------- (Back room) [LARRY] Where? [SALLY [OC]] Wester Drumlins. --------------------------------------- (Entrance hall) [LARRY] You live in Scooby Doo's house. [SALLY] For God's sake, I don't live here. --------------------------------------- (Drawing room) [LARRY] Okay, this is the one with the clearest sound. Slightly betterpicture quality on this one, but I don't know [SALLY] It doesn't matter. [LARRY] Okay. There he is. [SALLY] The Doctor. [LARRY] Who's the Doctor? [SALLY] He's the Doctor. [DOCTOR [on screen]] Yup. That's me. [SALLY] Okay, that was scary. [LARRY] No, it sounds like he's replying, but he always says that. [DOCTOR [on screen]] Yes, I do. [LARRY] And that. [DOCTOR [on screen]] Yup. And this. [SALLY] He can hear us. Oh, my God, you can really hear us? [LARRY] Of course he can't hear us. Look, I've got a transcript. See?Everything he says. Yup, that's me. Yes, I do. Yup, and this. Next it's [DOCTOR [on screen] + LARRY] Are you going to read out the whole thing? [LARRY] Sorry. [SALLY] Who are you? [DOCTOR] I'm a time traveller. Or I was. I'm stuck in 1969. [MARTHA [on screen]] We're stuck. All of space and time, he promised me.Now I've got a job in a shop. I've got to support him! [DOCTOR [on screen]] Martha. [MARTHA [on screen]] Sorry. [SALLY] I've seen this bit before. [DOCTOR [on screen]] Quite possibly. [SALLY] 1969, that's where you're talking from? [DOCTOR [on screen]] Afraid so. [SALLY] But you're replying to me. You can't know exactly what I'm goingto say, forty years before I say it. [DOCTOR [on screen]] Thirty eight. [LARRY] I'm getting this down. I'm writing in your bits. [SALLY] How? How is this possible? Tell me. [LARRY] Not so fast. [DOCTOR [on screen]] People don't understand time. It's not what youthink it is. [SALLY] Then what is it? [DOCTOR [on screen]] Complicated. [SALLY] Tell me. [DOCTOR [on screen]] Very complicated. [SALLY] I'm clever and I'm listening. And don't patronise me becausepeople have died, and I'm not happy. Tell me. [DOCTOR [on screen]] People assume that time is a strict progression ofcause to effect, but actually from a non-linear, non-subjectiveviewpoint, it's more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly, timey-wimeystuff. [SALLY] Yeah, I've seen this bit before. You said that sentence got awayfrom you. [DOCTOR [on screen]] It got away from me, yeah. [SALLY] Next thing you're going to say is, well I can hear you. [DOCTOR [on screen]] Well, I can hear you. [SALLY] This isn't possible. [LARRY] No. It's brilliant! [DOCTOR [on screen]] Well, not hear you, exactly, but I know everythingyou're going to say. [LARRY] Always gives me the shivers, that bit. [SALLY] How can you know what I'm going to say? [DOCTOR [on screen]] Look to your left. [LARRY] What does he mean by look to your left? I've written tons aboutthat on the forums. I think it's a political statement. [SALLY] He means you. What are you doing? [LARRY] I'm writing in your bits. That way I've got a completetranscript of the whole conversation. Wait until this hits the net.This will explode the egg forums. [DOCTOR [on screen]] I've got a copy of the finished transcript. It's onmy autocue. [SALLY] How can you have a copy of the finished transcript? It's stillbeing written. [DOCTOR [on screen]] I told you. I'm a time traveller. I got it in thefuture. [SALLY] Okay, let me get my head round this. You're reading aloud from atranscript of a conversation you're still having. [DOCTOR [on screen]] Yeah. Wibbly wobbly, timey-wimey. [SALLY] Never mind that. You can do shorthand? [LARRY] So? [DOCTOR [on screen]] What matters is, we can communicate. We have gotbig problems now. They have taken the blue box, haven't they? Theangels have the phone box. [LARRY] The angels have the phone box. That's my favourite, I've got iton a t-shirt. [SALLY] What do you mean, angels? You mean those statue things? [DOCTOR [on screen]] Creatures from another world. [SALLY] But they're just statues. [DOCTOR [on screen]] Only when you see them. [SALLY] What does that mean? [DOCTOR [on screen]] The lonely assassins, they used to be called. Noone quite knows where they came from, but they're as old as theuniverse, or very nearly, and they have survived this long because theyhave the most perfect defence system ever evolved. They arequantum-locked. They don't exist when they're being observed. Themoment they are seen by any other living creature, they freeze intorock. No choice. It's a fact of their biology. In the sight of anyliving thing, they literally turn to stone. And you can't kill a stone.Of course, a stone can't kill you either. But then you turn your headaway, then you blink, and oh yes it can. [SALLY] Don't take your eyes off that. [DOCTOR [on screen]] That's why they cover their eyes. They're notweeping. They can't risk looking at each other. Their greatest asset istheir greatest curse. They can never be seen. The loneliest creaturesin the universe. And I'm sorry. I am very, very sorry. It's up to younow. [SALLY] What am I supposed to do? [DOCTOR [on screen]] The blue box, it's my time machine. There is aworld of time energy in there they could feast on forever, but thedamage they could do could switch off the sun. You have got to send itback to me. [SALLY] How? How? [DOCTOR [on screen]] And that's it, I'm afraid. There's no more from youon the transcript, that's the last I've got. Idon't know what stopped you talking, but I can guess. They're coming.The angels are coming for you. But listen, your life could depend onthis. Don't blink. Don't even blink. Blink and you're dead. They arefast. Faster than you can believe. Don't turn your back, don't lookaway, and don't blink. Good luck. [SALLY] No! Don't! You can't! [LARRY] I'll rewind him. [SALLY] What good would that do? You're not looking at the statue. [LARRY] Neither are you. [SALLY] Keep looking at it. Keep looking at it. [LARRY] There's just one, right, there's just this one. We're okay if wejust keep staring at this one statue. Everything'sgoing to be fine. [SALLY] There are three more. [LARRY] Three? [SALLY] They were upstairs before, but I think I heard them moving. [LARRY] Moving where? Three of them? Moving where? [SALLY] I'm going to look around. I'm going to check. You keep lookingat this one. Don't blink. Remember what he said. Don't even blink. [LARRY] Who blinks? I'm too scared to blink. [SALLY] Okay, we're going to the door. The front door. [LARRY] What? [SALLY] I'll be just round the corner. You stay here. They've locked it.They've locked us in! [LARRY] Why? [SALLY [OC]] I've got something they want. [LARRY] What? [SALLY] The key. I took it last time I was here. They followed me to getit back. I led them to the blue box. Now they've got that. [LARRY] Well, give them the key. [SALLY] I'm going to check the back door. You wait here. [LARRY] Give them the key! Give them what they want!

[LARRY] Sally, please, I can't do this! Sally, hurry up! Where are you? [SALLY] Larry? They've blocked off the back door, but there's a cellar.There might be a way out. A delivery hatch or something. [LARRY] Coming! I can't stay here. --------------------------------------- (Cellar) [SALLY] Okay, boys, I know how this works. You can't move so long as Ican see you. Whole world in the box, the Doctor says. Hope he's notlying, because I don't see how else we're getting out. [SALLY] Oh, and there's your one. [LARRY] Why's it pointing at the light? [SALLY] Oh, my God, it's turning out the lights. [LARRY] Quickly! [SALLY] I can't find the lock! [LARRY] Sally, hurry up! Get it open! They're getting closer. Sally,come on! [SALLY] It won't turn! [LARRY] Sally! --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR [hologram]] This is security protocol seven one two. This timecapsule has detected the presence of an authorised control disc, validone journey. [DOCTOR [hologram]] Please insert the disc and prepare for departure. [SALLY] Looks like a DVD player. There's a slot. [LARRY] They're trying to get in! [SALLY] Well, hurry up then! [LARRY] What's happening? [SALLY] Oh, my God, it's leaving us behind. Doctor, no! You can't! [SALLY] Doctor! [SALLY] Look at them! Quick, look at them! [LARRY] I don't think we need to. He tricked them, The Doctor trickedthem. They're looking at each other. They're nevergoing to move again. --------------------------------------- (DVD store) [LARRY] Can you mind the shop? I'm just nipping next door for some milk. [SALLY] Yeah. No worries. [LARRY] What's this? [SALLY] Nothing. [LARRY] Sally, can't you let it go? [SALLY] Of course I can't let it go. [LARRY] This is over. [SALLY] How did the Doctor know where to write the words on the wall?How could he get a copy of the transcript? Where did he get all thatinformation from? [LARRY] Look, some things you never find out. And that's okay. [SALLY] No, it isn't. [LARRY] Ever think this might be getting in the way of other things? [SALLY] We just run a shop together. That's all it is, just a shop. [LARRY] Anyway, milk. Back in a mo. --------------------------------------- (Outside the DVD store) [SALLY] Doctor! Doctor! Doctor! [DOCTOR] Hello. Sorry, bit of a rush. There's a sort of thing happening.Fairly important we stop it. [SALLY] My God, it's you. It really is you. Oh, you don't remember me,do you? [MARTHA] Doctor, we haven't have time for this. The migration's started. [DOCTOR] Look, sorry, I've got a bit of a complex life. Things don'talways happen to me in quite the right order. Gets a bit confusing attimes, especially at weddings. I'm rubbish at weddings, especially myown. [SALLY] Oh, my God, of course. You're a time traveller. It hasn'thappened to you yet. None of it. It's still in your future. [DOCTOR] What hasn't happened? [MARTHA] Doctor, please. Twenty minutes to red hatching. [SALLY] It was me. Oh, for God's sake, it was me all along. You got itall from me. [DOCTOR] Got what? [SALLY] Okay, listen. One day you're going to get stuck in 1969. Makesure you've got this with you. You're going to need it. [MARTHA] Doctor! [DOCTOR] Yeah, listen, listen, got to dash. Things happening. Well, fourthings. Well, four things and a lizard. [SALLY] Okay. No worries. On you go. See you around some day.

Doctor Who (16 Jun, 2007; Tenth Doctor) - Utopia [DOCTOR] Cardiff. [MARTHA] Cardiff? [DOCTOR] Ah, but the thing about Cardiff, it's built on a rift in timeand space, just like California and the San Andreas Fault, but the riftbleeds energy. Every now and then I need to open up the engines, soakup the energy and use it as fuel. [MARTHA] So it's a pit stop. [DOCTOR] Exactly. Should only take twenty seconds. The rift's beenactive. [MARTHA] Wait a minute. They had an earthquake in Cardiff a couple ofyears ago. Was that you? [DOCTOR] Bit of trouble with the Slitheen. [DOCTOR] A long time ago. Lifetimes. I was a different man back then. --------------------------------------- (Roald Dahl Plass) [JACK] Doctor! --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] Finito. All powered up. [MARTHA] Whoa! What's that? [DOCTOR] We're accelerating into the future. The year one billion. Fivebillion. Five trillion. Fifty trillion? What? The year one hundredtrillion? That's impossible. [MARTHA] Why? What happens then? [DOCTOR] We're going to the end of the universe. --------------------------------------- (Outside the Tardis) [JACK] Doctor! --------------------------------------- (Camp) [CHIEFTAIN] Humans. Humans are coming. --------------------------------------- (Planet surface) [PADRA] I don't. I just want to go. Please, let me go. [WOMAN] Human! [SENTRY] Human! [WOMAN] Human! [SENTRY] Human! --------------------------------------- (Camp) [CHIEFTAIN] Hunt! Hunt! Hunt! --------------------------------------- (Yana's laboratory) [YANA] There's movement on the surface. Another human hunt. God helphim. [CHANTHO] Chan should I alert the guards tho? [YANA] No, no, we can't spare them. Poor beggar's on his own. One morelost soul dreaming of Utopia. [CHANTHO] Chan you mustn't talk as if you've given up tho. [YANA] No, no, indeed. Here's to it. Utopia. [YANA] Where it is to be hoped the coffee is a little less sour. Willyou join me? [CHANTHO] Chan I am happy drinking my own internal milk tho. [YANA] Yes, well, that's quite enough information, thank you. [ATILLO [OC]] Professor Yana? I don't want to rush you, but how are wedoing? [YANA] Er, yes, er, er, yes. Working. Yes, almost there. [ATILLO [OC]] How's it looking on the footprint? [YANA] It's good. Yes. Fine. Excellent. [CHANTHO] Chan there's no problem as such. We've accelerated thecalculation matrix but it's going to take time to harmonise tho. Chanwe're trying a new reversal process. We'll have a definite result inapproximately two hours tho. [CHANTHO] Chan Professor tho? [YANA] Yes! Yes, yes, yes. Working. [CHANTHO] Chan it's the surface scanner, Professor. It seems to bedetecting up a different signal tho. [YANA] Well, that's not a standard reading. I can't make it out. [YANA] It would seem something new has arrived. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] Well, we've landed. [MARTHA] So what's out there? [DOCTOR] I don't know. [MARTHA] Say that again. That's rare. [DOCTOR] Not even the Time Lords came this far. We should leave. Weshould go. We should really, really go. --------------------------------------- (Planet surface) [MARTHA] Oh my God! [MARTHA] Can't get a pulse. Hold on. You've got that medical kit thing. [DOCTOR] Hello again. Oh, I'm sorry. [MARTHA] Here we go. Get out of the way. It's a bit odd, though. Notvery hundred trillion. That coat's more like World War Two. [DOCTOR] I think he came with us. [MARTHA] How do you mean, from Earth? [DOCTOR] Must have been clinging to the outside of the Tardis all theway through the vortex. Well, that's very him. [MARTHA] What, do you know him? [DOCTOR] Friend of mine. Used to travel with me, back in the old days. [MARTHA] But he's. I'm sorry, there's no heartbeat. There's nothing.He's dead. [MARTHA] Oh, so much for me. It's all right. Just breathe deep. I've gotyou. [JACK] Captain Jack Harkness. And who are you? [MARTHA] Martha Jones. [JACK] Nice to meet you, Martha Jones. [DOCTOR] Oh, don't start. [JACK] I was only saying hello. [MARTHA] I don't mind. [JACK] Doctor. [DOCTOR] Captain. [JACK] Good to see you. [DOCTOR] And you. Same as ever. Although, have you had work done? [JACK] You can talk. [DOCTOR] Oh yes, the face. Regeneration. How did you know this was me? [JACK] The police box kind of gives it away. I've been following you fora long time. You abandoned me. [DOCTOR] Did I? Busy life. Moving on. [JACK] Just got to ask. The Battle of Canary Wharf. I saw the list ofthe dead. It said Rose Tyler. [DOCTOR] Oh, no! Sorry, she's alive. [JACK] You're kidding. [DOCTOR] Parallel world, safe and sound. And Mickey, and her mother. [JACK] Oh, yes! [MARTHA] Good old Rose. [JACK] So there I was, stranded in the year two hundred one hundred,ankle deep in Dalek dust, and he goes off without me. But I had this. [JACK] I used to be a Time Agent. It's called a vortex manipulator. He'snot the only one who can time travel. [DOCTOR] Oh, excuse me. That is not time travel. It's like, I've got asports car and you've got a space hopper. [MARTHA] Oh ho. Boys and their toys. [JACK] All right, so I bounced. I thought 21st century, the best placeto find the Doctor, except that I got it a little wrong. Arrived in1869, this thing burnt out, so it was useless. [DOCTOR] Told you. [JACK] I had to live through the entire twentieth century waiting for aversion of you that would coincide with me. [MARTHA] But that makes you more than one hundred years old. [JACK] And looking good, don't you think? So I went to the time rift,based myself there because I knew you'd come back to refuel. Untilfinally I get a signal on this detecting you and here we are. [MARTHA] But the thing is, how come you left him behind, Doctor? [DOCTOR] I was busy. [MARTHA] Is that what happens, though, seriously? Do you just get boredwith us one day and disappear? [JACK] Not if you're blonde. [MARTHA] Oh, she was blonde? Oh, what a surprise! [DOCTOR] You two! We're at the end of the universe, all right? Right atthe edge of knowledge itself and you're busy blogging! Come on. [MARTHA] Is that a city? [DOCTOR] A city or a hive, or a nest, or a conglomeration. Like it wasgrown. But look, there. That's like pathways, roads? Must have beensome sort of life, long ago. [MARTHA] What killed it? [DOCTOR] Time. Just time. Everything's dying now. All the greatcivilizations have gone. This isn't just night. All the stars haveburned up and faded away into nothing. [JACK] They must have an atmospheric shell. We should be frozen todeath. [DOCTOR] Well, Martha and I, maybe. Not so sure about you, Jack. [MARTHA] What about the people? Does no one survive? [DOCTOR] I suppose we have to hope life will find a way. [JACK] Well, he's not doing too bad. [CHIEFTAIN] Human! [DOCTOR] Is it me, or does that look like a hunt? Come on! [JACK] Oh, I've missed this. [JACK] I've got you. [PADRA] They're coming! They're coming! [DOCTOR] Jack, don't you dare! [MARTHA] What the hell are they? [PADRA] There's more of them. We've got to keep going. [DOCTOR] I've got a ship nearby. It's safe. It's not far, it's overthere. [DOCTOR] Or maybe not. [PADRA] We're close to the silo. If we get to the silo, then we're safe. [DOCTOR] Silo? [JACK] Silo. [MARTHA] Silo for me. --------------------------------------- (Silo gates) [PADRA] It's the Futurekind! Open the gate! [GUARD] Show me your teeth! Show me your teeth! Show me your teeth! [PADRA] Show him your teeth. [GUARD] Human! Let them in! Let them in! [GUARD] Close! Close! Close! [CHIEFTAIN] Humans. Humani. Make feast. [GUARD] Go back to where you came from. I said, go back. Back! [JACK] Oh, don't tell him to put his gun down. [DOCTOR] He's not my responsibility. [JACK] And I am? Huh, that makes a change. [CHIEFTAIN] Kind watch you. Kind hungry. [DOCTOR] Thanks for that. [GUARD] Right. Let's get you inside. [PADRA] My name is Padra Toc Shafe Cane. Tell me. Just tell me, can youtake me to Utopia? [GUARD] Oh yes, sir. Yes, I can. --------------------------------------- (Yana's laboratory) [ATILLO [OC]] Professor, we've got four new humansinside. One of them is calling himself a doctor. [YANA] Of medicine? [ATILLO [OC]] He says, of everything. [YANA] A scientist! Oh, my word. Just, just, Chantho, just, er. Oh, Idon't know. I'm coming! --------------------------------------- (Silo) [DOCTOR] It looks like a box, a big blue box. I'msorry, but I really need it back. It's stuck out there. [PADRA] I'm sorry, but my family were heading for the silo. Did they gethere? My mother is Kistane Shafe Cane. My brother's name is Beltone. [ATILLO] The computers are down but you can check the paperwork. Creet!Passenger needs help. [CREET] Right. What do you need? [ATILLO] A blue box, you said. [DOCTOR] Big, tall, wooden. Says Police. [ATILLO] We're driving out for the last water collection. I'll see whatI can do. [DOCTOR] Thank you. [CREET] Come on. [MARTHA] Sorry, but how old are you? [CREET] Old enough to work. This way. --------------------------------------- (Corridors) [CREET] Kistane Shafe Cane. Kistane Shafe Cane. Kistane and BiltoneShafe Cane? We're looking for a Kistane and Beltone Shafe Cane. [PADRA] The Shafe Canes, anyone? Kistane from Red Force Five? My name'sPadra. [CREET] Anyone? Kistane and Beltone Shafe Cane? Anyone know the ShafeCane family? Anyone called Shafe Cane? [MARTHA] It's like a refugee camp. [JACK] Stinking. Oh, sorry. No offence. Not you. [DOCTOR] Don't you see that? The ripe old smell of humans. You survived.Oh, you might have spent a million years evolving into clouds of gas,and another million as downloads, but you always revert to the samebasic shape. The fundamental humans. [CREET] Kistane Shafe Cane. [DOCTOR] End of the universe and here you are. Indomitable! That's theword. Indomitable! Ha! [CREET] Is there a Kistane Shafe Cane? [KISTANE] That's me. [PADRA] Mother? [KISTANE] Oh, my God. Padra. [PADRA] Beltone? [MARTHA] It's not all bad news. [JACK] Captain Jack Harkness. And who are you? [DOCTOR] Stop it. Give us a hand with this. It's half deadlocked. I needyou to overwrite the code. Let's find out where we are. [JACK] Gotcha. [DOCTOR] Thanks. [JACK] How did you cope without me? [MARTHA] Now that is what I call a rocket. [DOCTOR] They're not refugees, they're passengers. [MARTHA] He said they were going to Utopia. [DOCTOR] The perfect place. Hundred trillion years, it's the same olddream. You recognise those engines? [JACK] Nope. Whatever it is, it's not rocket science. But it's hot,though. [DOCTOR] Boiling. But if the universe is falling apart, what does Utopiamean? [YANA] The Doctor? [DOCTOR] That's me. [YANA] Good! Good! Good. Good. Good. Good. Good. Good. Good. Good. [DOCTOR] It's good apparently. --------------------------------------- (Yana's laboratory) [CHANTHO] Chan welcome tho. [YANA] Now, this is the gravitissimal accelerator. It's past its bestbut it works. [CHANTHO] Chan welcome tho. [YANA] And over here is the footprint impellor system. Now, do you knowanything about endtime gravity [MARTHA] Hello. Who are you? [CHANTHO] Chan Chantho tho. [YANA] But we can't get it to harmonise. [JACK] Captain Jack Harkness. [DOCTOR] Stop it. [JACK] Can't I say hello to anyone? [CHANTHO] Chan I do not protest tho. [JACK] Maybe later, Blue. So, what have we got here? [DOCTOR] And all this feeds into the rocket? [YANA] Yeah, except without a stable footprint, you see, we're unable toachieve escape velocity. If only we could harmonise the five impactpatterns and unify them, well, we might yet make it. What do you think,Doctor? Any ideas? [DOCTOR] Well, er, basically, sort of, not a clue. [YANA] Nothing? [DOCTOR] I'm not from around these parts. I've never seen a system likeit. Sorry. [YANA] No, no. I'm sorry. It's my fault. There's been so little help. [MARTHA] Oh, my God. You've got a hand? A hand in a jar. A hand in a jarin your bag. [DOCTOR] But that, that, that's my hand. [JACK] I said I had a Doctor detector. [CHANTHO] Chan is this a tradition amongst your people tho? [MARTHA] Not on my street. What do you mean, that's your hand? You'vegot both your hands, I can see them. [DOCTOR] Long story. I lost my hand Christmas Day, in a swordfight. [MARTHA] What? And you grew another hand? [DOCTOR] Er, yeah, yeah, I did. Yeah. Hello. [YANA] Might I ask, what species are you? [DOCTOR] Time Lord, last of. Heard of them? Legend or anything? Not evena myth? Blimey, end of the universe is a bit humbling. [CHANTHO] Chan it is said that I am the last of my species too tho. [DOCTOR] Sorry, what was your name? [YANA] My assistant and good friend, Chantho. A survivor of theMalmooth. This was their planet, Malcassairo, before we took refuge. [DOCTOR] The city outside, that was yours? [CHANTHO] Chan the conglomeration died tho. [DOCTOR] Conglomeration. That's what I said. [JACK] You're supposed to say sorry. [DOCTOR] Oh, yes. Sorry. [CHANTHO] Chan most grateful tho. [MARTHA] You grew another hand? [DOCTOR] Hello, again. It's fine. Look, really, it's me. [MARTHA] All this time and you're still full of surprises. [CHANTHO] Chan you are most unusual tho. [DOCTOR] Well. [JACK] So what about those things outside? The Beastie Boys. What arethey? [YANA] We call them the Futurekind, which is a myth in itself, but it'sfeared they are what we will become, unless we reach Utopia. [DOCTOR] And Utopia is? [YANA] Oh, every human knows of Utopia. Where have you been? [DOCTOR] Bit of a hermit. [YANA] A hermit with friends? [DOCTOR] Hermits United. We meet up every ten years and swap storiesabout caves. It's good fun, for a hermit. So, er, Utopia? [YANA] The call came from across the stars, over and over again. Come toUtopia. Originating from that point. [DOCTOR] Where is that? [YANA] Oh, it's far beyond the Condensate Wilderness, out towards theWildlands and the Dark Matter reefs, calling us in. The last of thehumans scattered across the night. [DOCTOR] What do you think's out there? [YANA] We can't know. A colony, a city, some sort of haven? The ScienceFoundation created the Utopia Project thousands of years ago topreserve mankind, to find a way of surviving beyond the collapse ofreality itself. Now perhaps they found it. Perhaps not. But it's wortha look, don't you think? [DOCTOR] Oh, yes. [DOCTOR] And the signal keeps modulating, so it's not automatic. That'sa good sign someone's out there. And that's, oh, that's a navigationmatrix. So you can fly without stars to guide you. Professor?Professor? Professor. [YANA] I, er, ahem, right, that's enough talk. There's work to do. Nowif you could leave, thank you. [DOCTOR] You all right? [YANA] Yes, I'm fine. And busy. [DOCTOR] Except that rocket's not going to fly, is it? This footprintmechanism thing, it's not working. [YANA] We'll find a way. [DOCTOR] You're stuck on this planet. And you haven't told them, haveyou? That lot out there, they still think they'regoing to fly. [YANA] Well, it's better to let them live in hope. [DOCTOR] Quite right, too. And I must say, Professor er, what was it? [YANA] Yana. [DOCTOR] Professor Yana. This new science is well beyond me, but all thesame, a boost reversal circuit, in any time frame, must be a circuitwhich reverses the boost. So, I wonder, what would happen if I didthis? [CHANTHO] Chan it's working tho! [YANA] But how did you do that? [DOCTOR] Oh, we've been chatting away, I forgot to tell you. I'mbrilliant. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [ATILLO [OC]] All passengers prepare for boarding. Irepeat, all passengers prepare for immediate boarding. --------------------------------------- (Yana's laboratory) [ATILLO [OC]] Destination, Utopia. --------------------------------------- (Silo gates) [ATILLO [OC]] All troops report to silo. I repeat, all troops report tosilo. [GUARD] Inside! Everyone, inside! Come on, move, move, move. --------------------------------------- (Rocket silo) [ATILLO [OC]] All passengers prepare for immediate boarding. Allpassengers prepare for immediate boarding. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [MARTHA] Excuse me. Hey, what was your name? Creet. [CREET] That's right, miss. [MARTHA] Who are you with, Creet? You got family? [CREET] No, miss. There's just me. [MARTHA] Well, good luck. What do you think it's going to be like inUtopia? [CREET] My mum used to say the skies are made of diamonds. [MARTHA] Good for her. Go on, off you go. Get your seat. --------------------------------------- (Yana's laboratory) [DOCTOR] Is this? [YANA] Yes, gluten extract. Binds the neutralino map together. [DOCTOR] That's food. You've built this system out of food and stringand staples? Professor Yana, you're a genius. [YANA] Says the man who made it work. [DOCTOR] Oh, it's easy coming in at the end, but you're stellar. Thisis, this is magnificent. And I don't often say that because, well,because of me. [YANA] Well, even my title is an affectation. There hasn't been such athing as a university for over a thousand years. I've spent my lifegoing from one refugee ship to another. [DOCTOR] If you'd been born in a different time, you'd be revered. Imean it. Throughout the galaxies. [YANA] Oh, those damned galaxies. They had to go and collapse. Someadmiration would have been nice. Yes, just a little, just once. [DOCTOR] Well, you've got it now. But that footprint engine thing. Youcan't activate it from onboard. It's got to be from here. You'restaying behind. [YANA] With Chantho. She won't leave without me. Simply refuses. [DOCTOR] You'd give your life so they could fly. [YANA] Oh, I think I'm a little too old for Utopia. Time I had somesleep. [ATILLO [OC]] Professor, tell the Doctor we've found his blue box. [DOCTOR] Ah! [JACK] Doctor? [DOCTOR] Professor, it's a wild stab in the dark, but I may just havefound you a way out. [DOCTOR] Extra power. Little bit of a cheat, but who's counting? Jack,you're in charge of the retro feeds. [MARTHA] Oh, am I glad to see that thing. [CHANTHO] Chan Professor, are you all right tho? [YANA] Yes, I'm fine. I'm fine. I'm fine. Just get on with it. [JACK] Connect those circuits into the spar, same as that last lot. Butquicker. [MARTHA] Ooo, yes, sir. [DOCTOR] You don't have to keep working. We can handle it. [YANA] It's just a headache. It's just, just noise inside my head,Doctor. Constant noise inside my head. [DOCTOR] What sort of noise? [YANA] It's the sound of drums. More and more, as though it's gettingcloser. [DOCTOR] When did it start? [YANA] Oh, I've had it all my life. Every waking hour. Still, no restfor the wicked. [MARTHA] How long have you been with the professor? [CHANTHO] Chan seventeen years tho. [MARTHA] Blimey. A long time. [CHANTHO] Chan I adore him tho. [MARTHA] Oh right, and he [CHANTHO] Chan I don't think he even notices tho. [MARTHA] Tell me about it. [CHANTHO] Chan but I am happy to serve tho. [MARTHA] Do you mind if I ask? Do you have to start every sentence withchan? [CHANTHO] Chan yes tho. [MARTHA] And end every sentence with [CHANTHO] Chan tho tho. [MARTHA] What would you happen if you didn't? [CHANTHO] Chan that would be rude tho. [MARTHA] What, like swearing? [CHANTHO] Chan indeed tho. [MARTHA] Go on, just once. [CHANTHO] Chan I can't tho. [MARTHA] Oh, do it for me. [CHANTHO] No. --------------------------------------- (Control room) [ATILLO] Professor. [ATILLO] Systems are down. Professor, are you getting me? [YANA] I'm here! We're ready! --------------------------------------- (Yana's laboratory) [YANA] Now all you need to do is connect thecouplings, then we can launch. [YANA] God sake! This equipment. Needs rebooting all the time. [MARTHA] Anything I can do? I've finished that lot. [YANA] Yes, if you could. Just press the reboot key every time thepicture goes. [MARTHA] Certainly, sir. Just don't ask me to do shorthand. [YANA] Right. [ATILLO [on monitor]] Are you still there? [YANA] Ah, present and correct. Send your man inside. --------------------------------------- (Control room) [YANA [on monitor]] We'll keep the levels down fromhere. --------------------------------------- (Yana's laboratory) [ATILLO [on monitor]] He's inside. And good luck tohim. [YANA] Captain, keep the dials below the red. [DOCTOR] Where is that room? [YANA] It's underneath the rocket. Fix the couplings and the footprintcan work. But the entire chamber is flooded with stet radiation. [DOCTOR] Stet? Never heard of it. [YANA] You wouldn't want to. But it's safe enough, if we can hold theradiation back from here. [YANA] It's rising. Naught point two. Keep it level! [JACK] Yes, sir. [CHANTHO] Chan we're losing power tho! [DOCTOR] Radiation's rising! [JACK] We've lost control! [YANA] The chamber's going to flood. [DOCTOR] Jack, override the vents! --------------------------------------- (Radiation chamber) [ATILLO [behind door]] Get out! Get out of there!Jate! --------------------------------------- (Silo) [GUARD] Oi, you! Go! --------------------------------------- (Yana's laboratory) [JACK] We can jump start the override. [DOCTOR] Don't! It's going to flare! --------------------------------------- (Radiation chamber) [ATILLO [behind door]] Jate, get out of there! Getout! [ATILLO] No! --------------------------------------- (Yana's laboratory) [MARTHA] I've got him. [CHANTHO] Chan don't touch the cables tho. [YANA] Oh, I'm so sorry. [DOCTOR] The chamber's flooded with radiation, yes? [YANA] Without the couplings, the engines will never start. It was allfor nothing. [DOCTOR] Oh, I don't know. Martha, leave him. [MARTHA] You've got to let me try. [DOCTOR] Come on, come on, just listen to me. Now leave him alone. Itstrikes me, Professor, you've got a room which no man can enter withoutdying. Is that correct? [YANA] Yes. [DOCTOR] Well [DOCTOR] I think I've got just the man. [JACK] Was someone kissing me? --------------------------------------- (Control room) [DOCTOR] Lieutenant, get on board the rocket! I promise you're going tofly. [ATILLO] The chamber's flooded. [DOCTOR] Trust me. We've found a way of tripping the system. Run! [DOCTOR] What are you taking your clothes off for? [JACK] I'm going in. [DOCTOR] Well, by the looks of it, I'd say the stet radiation doesn'taffect clothing, only flesh. [JACK] Well, I look good though. How long have you known? [DOCTOR] Ever since I ran away from you. Good luck. --------------------------------------- (Yana's laboratory) [MARTHA] We lost picture when that thing flared up. Doctor, are youthere? [DOCTOR [OC]] Receiving, yeah. He's inside. [MARTHA] And still alive? [DOCTOR [OC]] Oh, yes. [YANA] But he should evaporate. What sort of a man is he? [MARTHA] I've only just met him. The Doctor sort of travels through timeand space and picks people up. God, I make us sound like stray dogs.Maybe we are. [YANA] He travels in time? [MARTHA] Don't ask me to explain it. That's a Tardis, that box thing.The sports car of time travel, he says. [MARTHA [OC]] That's a Tardis. Time travel. That's a Tardis. That's aTardis. --------------------------------------- (Radiation chamber) [DOCTOR [behind door]] When did you first realise? [JACK] Earth, 1892. Got in a fight in Ellis Island. A man shot methrough the heart. Then I woke up. Thought it waskind of strange. But then it never stopped. Fell off a cliff, trampledby horses, World War One, World War Two, poison, starvation, a strayjavelin. In the end, I got the message. I'm the man who can never die.And all that time you knew. [DOCTOR [behind door]] That's why I left you behind. It's not easy evenjust looking at you, Jack, because you're wrong. [JACK] Thanks. [DOCTOR [behind door]] You are. I can't help it. I'm a Time Lord. It'sinstinct. It's in my guts. You're a fixed point in time and space.You're a fact. That's never meant to happen. Even the Tardis reactedagainst you, tried to shake you off. Flew all the way to the end of theuniverse just to get rid of you. [JACK] So what you're saying is that you're, er, prejudiced? [DOCTOR [behind door]] I never thought of it like that. [JACK] Shame on you. [DOCTOR [behind door]] Yeah. --------------------------------------- (Yana's laboratory) [JACK [OC]] Last thing I remember, back when I wasmortal, I was facing three Daleks. Death by extermination. And then Icame back to life. --------------------------------------- (Radiation chamber) [JACK] What happened? [DOCTOR [behind door]] Rose. --------------------------------------- (Yana's laboratory) [JACK [OC]] I thought you'd sent her back home. [DOCTOR [OC]] She came back. Opened the heart of the Tardis and absorbedthe time vortex itself. [JACK [OC]] What does that mean, exactly? [DOCTOR [OC]] No one's ever mean to have that power. --------------------------------------- (Radiation chamber) [DOCTOR [behind door]] If a Time Lord did that, he'dbecome a god. A vengeful god. But she was human. [ROSE] I bring life. [DOCTOR [behind door]] Everything she did was so human. She brought youback to life but she couldn't control it. She brought you back forever.That's something, I suppose. The final act of the Time War was life. --------------------------------------- (Yana's laboratory) [DOCTOR [OC]] Time war, time war. [JACK [OC]] Do you think she could change me back? [DOCTOR [OC]] I took the power out of her. --------------------------------------- (Radiation chamber) [DOCTOR [behind door]] She's gone, Jack. She's notjust living on a parallel world, she's trapped there. The walls haveclosed. [JACK] I'm sorry. [DOCTOR [behind door]] Yeah. [JACK] I went back to her estate, in the nineties, just once or twice.Watched her growing up. Never said hello. Timelines and all that. [DOCTOR [behind door]] Do you want to die? [JACK] Oh, this one's a little stuck. [DOCTOR [behind door]] Jack? [JACK] I thought I did. I don't know. But this lot. You see them outhere surviving, and that's fantastic. [DOCTOR [behind door]] You might be out there, somewhere. [JACK] I could go meet myself. [DOCTOR] Well, the only man you're ever going to be happy with. [JACK] This new regeneration, it's kind of cheeky. [DOCTOR] Hmm. --------------------------------------- (Yana's laboratory) [JACK [OC]] Regeneration. Regeneration. [MARTHA] I never understand half the things he says. What's wrong? [CHANTHO] Chan Professor, what is it tho? [YANA] Time travel. They say there was time travel back in the old days.I never believed. But what would I know? Stupid old man. Never couldkeep time. Always late, always lost. Even this thing never worked. [DOCTOR [Human Nature]] Martha, this watch is me. I'm going to becomehuman. [YANA] Time and time and time again. Always running out on me. [MARTHA] Can I have a look at that? [YANA] Oh, it's only an old relic. Like me. [MARTHA] Where did you get it? [YANA] Hmm? I was found with it. [MARTHA] What do you mean? [YANA] An orphan in the storm. I was a naked child found on the coast ofthe Silver Devastation. Abandoned, with only this. [MARTHA] Have you opened it? [YANA] Why would I? It's broken. [MARTHA] How do you know it's broken if you've never opened it? [YANA] It's stuck. It's old. It's not meant to be. I don't know. [YANA] Does it matter? [MARTHA] No. It's nothing. It's. Listen, everything's fine up here. I'mgoing to see if the Doctor needs me. --------------------------------------- (Radiation chamber) [JACK] Yes! [DOCTOR [behind door]] Now, get out of there. Come on! --------------------------------------- (Control room) [DOCTOR] Lieutenant, everyone on board? [ATILLO [OC]] Ready and waiting. [DOCTOR] Stand by. Two minutes to ignition. [ATILLO [OC]] Ready to launch. Outer doors sealed. [COMPUTER] Countdown commencing. T minus ninety nine, ninety eight [DOCTOR] Ah, nearly there. The footprint, it's a gravity pulse. Itstamps down, the rocket shoots up. Bit primitive. It'll take the bothof us to keep it stable. [MARTHA] Doctor, it's the Professor. He's got this watch. He's got a fobwatch. It's the same as yours. Same writing on it, same everything. [DOCTOR] Don't be ridiculous. [MARTHA] I asked him. He said he's had it his whole life. [JACK] So he's got the same watch. [MARTHA] Yeah, but it's not a watch. It's this chameleon thing. [DOCTOR] No, no, no, it's this, this thing, this device, it rewritesbiology. Changes a Time Lord into a human. [MARTHA] And it's the same watch. [DOCTOR] It can't be. [JACK] That means he could be a Time Lord. You might not be the lastone. [DOCTOR] Jack, keep it level! [MARTHA] But that's brilliant, isn't it? [DOCTOR] Yes, it is. Course it is. Depends which one. Brilliant,fantastic, yeah. But they died, the Time Lords. All of them. They died. [JACK] Not if he was human. [DOCTOR] What did he say, Martha? What did he say? [MARTHA] He looked at the watch like he could hardly see it. Like thatperception filter thing. [DOCTOR] What about now? Can he see it now? --------------------------------------- (Yana's laboratory) [DOCTOR [OC]] The Tardis. The time vortex. [JACK] Regeneration. Regeneration. [WATCH] The drums, the drums, the drums, the never ending drumbeat. Openme, you human fool. Open the light and summon me and receive mymajesty. [DELGADO [OC]] Destroy him! And you will give your power to me! [CHANTHO] Chan Yana, won't you please take some rest tho? --------------------------------------- (Control room) [COMPUTER] Thirteen, twelve, eleven, ten, nine [JACK] If he escaped the Time War then it's the perfect place to hide.The end of the universe. [COMPUTER] Six, five [MARTHA] Think of what the Face of Boe said. His dying words. He said [COMPUTER] One. [BOE] You are not alone. --------------------------------------- (Yana's laboratory) [CHANTHO] Chan Professor Yana tho? --------------------------------------- (Control room) [DOCTOR] Lieutenant, have you done it? Did you getvelocity? Have you done it? Lieutenant, have you done it? [ATILLO [OC]] Affirmative. We'll see you in Utopia. [DOCTOR] Good luck. --------------------------------------- (Yana's laboratory) [CHANTHO] Chan but you've locked them in tho. --------------------------------------- (Control room) [DOCTOR] Get it open! Get it open! --------------------------------------- (Yana's laboratory) [YANA] Not to worry, my dear. As one door closes,another must open. [CHANTHO] Chan you must stop tho. Chan but you've lowered the defences.The Futurekind will get in tho. [CHANTHO] Chan Professor, I'm so sorry, but I must stop you. You'redestroying all our work tho. [YANA] Oh. Now I can say I was provoked. [YANA] Did you never think, all those years standing beside me, to askabout that watch? Never? Did you never once think, not ever, that youcould set me free? [CHANTHO] Chan I'm sorry tho. Chan I'm so sorry. [YANA] You, with your chan and your tho driving me insane. [CHANTHO] Chan Professor, please [YANA] That is not my name! The Professor was an invention. So perfect adisguise that I forgot who I am. [CHANTHO] Chan then who are you tho? [YANA] I am the Master. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [JACK] This way! --------------------------------------- (Outside Yana's laboratory) [DOCTOR] Professor! Professor, let me in! Let me in!Jack, get the door open now! --------------------------------------- (Yana's laboratory) [DOCTOR [OC]] Professor! Professor, where are you?!Professor! Professor, are you there? Please, I need to explain.Whatever you do, don't open that watch. [YANA] Utopia. --------------------------------------- (Outside Yana's laboratory) [MARTHA] They're coming! [DOCTOR] Professor! --------------------------------------- (Yana's laboratory) [DOCTOR [OC]] Open the door, please! I'm begging you, Professor. Please,listen to me. [DOCTOR [OC]] Just open the door, please. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [YANA] Deadlocked. --------------------------------------- (Yana's laboratory) [DOCTOR] Let me in. Let me in! [MARTHA] She's dead. [JACK] I broke the lock. Give me a hand! [DOCTOR] I'm begging you. Everything's changed! It's only the two of us!We're the only ones left! Just let me in! --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [YANA] Killed by an insect. A girl. Howinappropriate. Still, if the Doctor can be young and strong, then socan I. The Master reborn. --------------------------------------- (Yana's laboratory) [JACK] Doctor! You'd better think of something! --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [MASTER] Ha, ha! Ha, ha, ha! Ha, ha, ha! Oh. --------------------------------------- (Yana's laboratory) [MASTER [OC]] Now then, Doctor. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [MASTER] Ooo, new voice.

Doctor Who (23 Jun, 2007; Tenth Doctor) - The Sound of Drums [MARTHA] Oh, my head. [DOCTOR] Time travel without a capsule. That's a killer. --------------------------------------- (Street) [JACK] Still, at least we made it. Earth, twentyfirst century by the looks of it. Talk about lucky. [DOCTOR] That wasn't luck, that was me. --------------------------------------- (Yana's laboratory) [DOCTOR] Hold still! Don't move! Hold it still! [JACK] I'm telling you, it's broken. It hasn't worked for years. [DOCTOR] That's because you didn't have me. Martha, grab hold, now! --------------------------------------- (Street) [JACK] The moral is, if you're going to get stuck atthe end of the universe, get stuck with an ex-Time Agent and his vortexmanipulator. [MARTHA] But this Master bloke, he's got the Tardis. He could beanywhere in time and space. [DOCTOR] No, he's here. Trust me. [MARTHA] Who is he, anyway? And that voice at the end, that wasn't theProfessor. [JACK] If the Master's a Time Lord, then he must have regenerated. [MARTHA] What does that mean? [JACK] It means he's changed his face, voice, body, everything. New man. [MARTHA] Then how are we going to find him? [DOCTOR] I'll know him, the moment I see him. Time Lords always do. [MARTHA] But hold on. If he could be anyone, we missed the election. Butit can't be. [NEWSREADER [on screen]] Mister Saxon has returned from the Palace andis greeting the crowd inside Saxon Headquarters. [MARTHA] I said I knew that voice. When he spoke inside the Tardis. I'veheard that voice hundreds of times. I've seen him. We all have. Thatwas the voice of Harold Saxon. [DOCTOR] That's him. He's Prime Minister. [PHOTOGRAPHER [on screen]] Mister Saxon, this way, sir. Come on, kissfor the lady, sir. [DOCTOR] The Master is Prime Minister of Great Britain. The Master andhis wife? --------------------------------------- (Outside Saxon HQ) [MASTER] This country has been sick. This countryneeds healing. This country needs medicine. --------------------------------------- (Street) [MASTER [on screen]] In fact, I'd go so far as tosay that what this country really needs right now, is a Doctor. --------------------------------------- (10 Downing Street) [WOMAN] Finance report, sir. [WOMAN 2] Military protocol, sir. [WOMAN 3] EC directive, sir. [MAN] Annual budget, sir. [MAN 2] Policy recommendations. [LUCY] I'm so proud of you, Harry. [MASTER] Bless. [TISH] Sir. If you don't mind me asking. I'm sorry, but it's all a bitnew. What exactly do you want me to do? [MASTER] Oh yes, what was it? [TISH] Tish. Letitia Jones. [MASTER] Tish. Well then, Tish, you just stand there and look gorgeous. --------------------------------------- (Cabinet Room) [MASTER] A glorious day. Downing Street rebuilt, the Cabinet in session.Let the work of government begin. [MASTER] Oh, go on. Crack a smile. It's funny, isn't it? Albert, funny?No? Little bit? [DUMFRIES] Very funny, sir. But if we could get down to business, thereis the matter of policy, of which we have very little. [MASTER] No, no, no, no. Before we start all that, I just want to saythank you. Thank you, one and all. You ugly, fat faced bunch of wet,snivelling traitors. [DUMFRIES] Yes, quite, very funny. But I think [MASTER] No. No, that wasn't funny. You see, I'm not making myself veryclear. Funny is like this. [MASTER] Not funny is like this. [MASTER] And right now, I'm not like (grin) I'm like (frown) because youare traitors. Yes, you are! As soon as you saw the vote swinging myway, you abandoned your parties and you jumped on the Saxon bandwagon.So this is your reward. [DUMFRIES] Excuse me, Prime Minister. Do you mind my asking, what isthat? [MASTER] (muffled) It's a gas mask. [DUMFRIES] I beg your pardon? [MASTER] It's a gas mask. [DUMFRIES] Yes, but, er, why are you wearing it? [MASTER] (muffled) Well, because of the gas. [DUMFRIES] I'm sorry? [MASTER] Because of the gas. [DUMFRIES] What gas? [MASTER] (muffled) This gas. [DUMFRIES] You're insane! --------------------------------------- (Martha's home) [MARTHA] Home. [DOCTOR] What have you got? Computer, laptop, anything. Jack, who areyou phoning? You can't tell anyone we're here. [JACK] Just some friends of mine, but there's no reply. [MARTHA] Here you go. Any good? [JACK] I can show you the Saxon websites. He's been around for ages. [MARTHA] That's so weird though. It's the day after the election. That'sonly four days after I met you. [DOCTOR] We went flying all around the universe while he was here allthe time. [MARTHA] You going to tell us who he is? [DOCTOR] He's a Time Lord. [MARTHA] What about the rest of it? I mean, who'd call himself theMaster? [DOCTOR] That's all you need to know. Come on, show me Harold Saxon. [TISH [on machine]] Martha, where are you? I've got this new job. Youwon't believe it. It's weird. They just phoned me up out of the blue.I'm working for [MARTHA] Oh, like it matters. --------------------------------------- (Cabinet Office) [TISH] I'm sorry, but you're not allowed in [VIVIEN] Harold Saxon, A Modern Churchill. It's the definitive thinkpiece on the man himself. Oh, come on, sweetheart. You must've read it. [TISH] Not really. Sorry, I'm new. [VIVIEN] Mister Saxon does like a pretty face, but I'm here to see MrsSaxon. [TISH] You can't just go barging in. --------------------------------------- (Drawing room) [VIVIEN] Mrs Saxon. Vivien Rook, Sunday Mirror. You've heard of me. [LUCY] Oh, can't I just have an hour to myself? It's been a hell of aday. [VIVIEN] Oh, strike while the iron's hot, that's what I say, Lucy. I cancall you Lucy, can't I? Now, everyone's talking about Harold Saxon, butI thought, What about the wife? All I need is twenty minutes. [LUCY] Oh, I think maybe we should wait. [VIVIEN] The headline's waiting to print. The Power Behind the Throne. [LUCY] Really? [VIVIEN] Britain's First Lady. [LUCY] Gosh. [VIVIEN] Front page. [LUCY] Oh. Well, I suppose. Oh, go on then. Twenty minutes. [VIVIEN] Excellent! Thank you. Go, go, what was it? Er, Tish. Now youcan leave us alone. [TISH] No, but I'm supposed to sit in? [VIVIEN] No, no, it's only a profile piece. You know, hair and clothesand nonsense. There's a good girl. Out you go. That's it. [VIVIEN] Mrs Saxon, I have reason to believe that you're in very greatdanger. All of us, in fact. Not just the country, but the whole world.No, I beg of you, hear me out. [LUCY] What are you talking about? [VIVIEN] Your husband is not who he says he is. I'm sorry, but it's alie. Everything's a lie. --------------------------------------- (Martha's home) [SHARON OSBOURNE [on laptop]] I'm voting Saxon. Hecan tick my box any day. [McFLY [on laptop]] Vote Saxon! Go Harry! [ANN WIDDECOMBE [on laptop]] I think Mister Saxon is exactly what thiscountry needs. He's a very fine man. And he's handsome too. [JACK] Former Minister of Defence. First came to prominence when he shotdown the Racnoss on Christmas Eve. Nice work, by the way. [DOCTOR] Oh, thanks. [MARTHA] But he goes back years. He's famous. Everyone knows his story.Look. Cambridge University, Rugby blue. Won the Athletics thing. Wrotea novel, went into business, marriage, everything. He's got a wholelife. --------------------------------------- (Drawing room) [VIVIEN] All of it. The school days, his degree,even his mother and father, it's all invented. Look, Harold Saxon neverwent to Cambridge. There was no Harold Saxon. The thing is, it'sobvious. The forgery is screaming out and yet no one can see it. It'sas if he's mesmerized the entire world. [LUCY] I think perhaps you should leave now. [VIVIEN] Eighteen months ago, he became real. This is his first, honestto God appearance, just after the downfall of Harriet Jones. And at theexact same time, they launched the Archangel Network. [LUCY] Mrs Rook, now stop it. [VIVIEN] Even now they've said that the Cabinet has gone into seclusion.I mean, what does that mean, seclusion? [LUCY] How should I know? [VIVIEN] But I've got plenty of research on you. Yes, good family,Roedean, not especially bright but essentially harmless. And that's whyI'm asking you, Lucy. I am begging you. If you have seen anything,heard anything, even the slightest thing that would give you cause todoubt him? [LUCY] I think [VIVIEN] Yes? [LUCY] There was a time when we first met, I wondered. But he was sogood to my father, and he said. [VIVIEN] What? Just tell me, sweetheart. [LUCY] The thing is, I made my choice. [VIVIEN] I'm sorry? [LUCY] For better or for worse. Isn't that right, Harry? [MASTER] My faithful companion. [VIVIEN] Mister Saxon. Prime Minister, I was just having a little jokewith poor little Lucy. I didn't mean. [MASTER] Oh, but you're absolutely right. Harold Saxon doesn't exist. [VIVIEN] Then tell me. Who are you? [MASTER] I am the Master and these are my friends. [VIVIEN] I'm sorry? [MASTER] Can't you hear it, Mrs Rook? [VIVIEN] What do you mean? [MASTER] The drumbeat. The drums coming closer and closer. [FEMALE SPHERE] The lady doesn't like us. [MALE SPHERE] Silly lady. [VIVIEN] No. [MALE SPHERE] Dead lady. --------------------------------------- (Outside the Drawing room) [LUCY] Oh, but she knew. Harry, she knew everything. You promised. Yousaid Archangel was one hundred percent. [MASTER] Ninety nine, ninety eight? [LUCY] But if she's asking questions, then who else? How much time havewe got? [MASTER] Tomorrow morning. I promise. That's when everything ends. --------------------------------------- (Martha's home) [JACK] But he's got the Tardis. Maybe the Master went back in time andhas been living here for decades. [DOCTOR] No. [JACK] Why not? Worked for me. [DOCTOR] When he was stealing the Tardis, the only thing I could do wasfuse the coordinates. I locked them permanently. He can only travelbetween the year one hundred trillion and the last place the Tardislanded. Which is right here, right now. [JACK] Yeah, but a little leeway? [DOCTOR] Well, eighteen months, tops. The most he could have been hereis eighteen months. So how has he managed all this? The Master wasalways sort of hypnotic, but this is on a massive scale. [MARTHA] I was going to vote for him. [DOCTOR] Really? [MARTHA] Well, it was before I even met you. And I liked him. [JACK] Me too. [DOCTOR] Why do you say that? What was his policy? What did he standfor? [MARTHA] I don't know. He always sounded good. [MARTHA] Like you could trust him. Just nice. He spoke about. I can'treally remember, but it was good. Just the sound of his voice. [DOCTOR] What's that? [MARTHA] What? [DOCTOR] That. That tapping, that rhythm. What are you doing? [MARTHA] I don't know. It's nothing. It's just, I don't know. [DOCTOR] Our lord and master is speaking to his kingdom. [MASTER [on TV]] Britain, Britain, Britain. --------------------------------------- (Cabinet room) [MASTER] What extraordinary times we've had. Just afew years ago, this world was so small. And then they came, out of theunknown, falling from the skies. You've seen it happen. --------------------------------------- (Martha's home) [MASTER [OC]] Big Ben destroyed. A spaceship over London. All thoseghosts and metal men. The Christmas star that came to kill. --------------------------------------- (Cabinet room) [MASTER] Time and time again, and the governmenttold you nothing. --------------------------------------- (Martha's home) [MASTER [on TV]] Well, not me. Not Harold Saxon.Because my purpose --------------------------------------- (Cabinet room) [MASTER] Here today is to tell you this. Citizens of Great Britain, Ihave been contacted. --------------------------------------- (Martha's home) [MASTER [on TV]] A message for humanity, from beyondthe stars.

We've beentalking and --------------------------------------- (Outside Martha's home) [FRANCINE [OC]] We thought we might give it anothergo. --------------------------------------- (Francine's home) [MARTHA [OC]] Don't be so daft.

[DOCTOR] Gone. --------------------------------------- (Cabinet room) [MASTER] How can Gallifrey be gone? --------------------------------------- (Underpass) [DOCTOR] It burnt. --------------------------------------- (Cabinet room) [MASTER] And the Time Lords? --------------------------------------- (Underpass) [DOCTOR] Dead. And the Daleks, more or less. Whathappened to you? --------------------------------------- (Cabinet room) [MASTER] The Time Lords only resurrected me becausethey knew I'd be the perfect warrior for a --------------------------------------- (Underpass) [MASTER [OC]] Time War. I was there when the --------------------------------------- (Cabinet room) [MASTER] Dalek Emperor took control of theCruciform. I saw it. I ran. I ran so far. Made myself human so theywould never find me, because I was so scared. --------------------------------------- (Underpass) [DOCTOR] I know. --------------------------------------- (Cabinet room) [MASTER] All of them? But not you, which must mean --------------------------------------- (Underpass) [DOCTOR] I was the only one who could end it. And Itried. I did.

Don't you see? Allwe've got is each other. --------------------------------------- (Cabinet room) [MASTER] Are you asking me out on a date? --------------------------------------- (Underpass) [DOCTOR] You could stop this right now. We couldleave this planet. We can fight across the constellations, if that'swhat you want, but not on Earth. --------------------------------------- (Cabinet room) [MASTER] Too late. --------------------------------------- (Underpass) [DOCTOR] Why do you say that? --------------------------------------- (Cabinet room) [MASTER] The drumming. Can't you hear it? I thoughtit would stop, but it never does. Never ever stops. Inside my head, thedrumming, Doctor. The constant drumming. --------------------------------------- (Underpass) [DOCTOR] I could help you. Please, let me help. --------------------------------------- (Cabinet room) [MASTER] It's everywhere. Listen, listen, listen.Here come the drums.

[NEWS 24] Known as the Captain. They are known to be armed and extremelydangerous. --------------------------------------- (Cabinet room) [MASTER] You're public enemies number one, two andthree. Oh, and you can tell handsome Jack that I've sent his littlegang --------------------------------------- (Shopping centre) [MASTER [OC]] Off on a wild goose chase to theHimalayas, so he won't be getting any help from them. --------------------------------------- (Cabinet room) [MASTER] Now, go on, off you go.

Better startrunning. Go on, run. --------------------------------------- (Shopping centre) [DOCTOR] He's got control of everything. [MARTHA] What do we do? [JACK] We've got nowhere to go. [MARTHA] Doctor, what do we do? [MASTER [OC]] Run, Doctor. --------------------------------------- (Cabinet room) [MASTER] Run for your life! --------------------------------------- (Shopping centre) [DOCTOR] We run. --------------------------------------- (Cabinet room) [MASTER] I said, run! [NEWS 24] Tomorrow morning, Britain will be welcoming anextraterrestrial species [AMNN] The President is said to be furious that Great Britain has takenunilateral action. [MASTER] Have you seen these things? This planet's amazing. Televisionin their stomach. Now that is evolution. [FEMALE SPHERE] Is the machine ready? [MASTER] Tomorrow morning. It reaches critical at eight oh twoprecisely. [FEMALE SPHERE] We have to escape, because it's coming, sir. Thedarkness, the never ending darkness. The terrible, terrible cold. Wehave to run and run and run! [MASTER] Eight o'clock tomorrow morning. Tell your people the world iswaiting. --------------------------------------- (Warehouse) [JACK] How was it? [MARTHA] I don't think anyone saw me. Anything new? [JACK] I've got this tuned to government wavelengths so we can followwhat Saxon's doing. [MARTHA] Yeah, I meant about my family. [DOCTOR] It still says the Jones family taken in for questioning. Tellyou what, though. No mention of Leo. [MARTHA] He's not as daft as he looks. I'm talking about my brother onthe run. How did this happen? [JACK] Nice chips. [DOCTOR] Actually, they're not bad. [JACK] So, Doctor, who is he? How come the ancient society of Time Lordscreated a psychopath? [MARTHA] And what is he to you? Like a colleague or [DOCTOR] A friend, at first. [MARTHA] I thought you were going to say he was your secret brother orsomething. [DOCTOR] You've been watching too much TV. [JACK] But all the legends of Gallifrey made it sound so perfect. [DOCTOR] Well, perfect to look at, maybe. And it was. It was beautiful.They used to call it the Shining World of the Seven Systems. And on theContinent of Wild Endeavour, in the Mountains of Solace and Solitude,there stood the Citadel of the Time Lords, the oldest and most mightyrace in the universe, looking down on the galaxies below.Sworn never to interfere, only to watch. Children of Gallifrey, takenfrom their families age of eight to enter the Academy. And some saythat's when it all began. When he was a child. That's when the Mastersaw eternity. As a novice, he was taken for initiation. He stood infront of the Untempered Schism. It's a gap in the fabric of realitythrough which could be seen the whole of the vortex. You stand there,eight years old, staring at the raw power of time and space, just achild. Some would be inspired, some would run away, and some would gomad. Brr. I don't know. [MARTHA] What about you? [DOCTOR] Oh, the ones that ran away, I never stopped. [JACK] Encrypted channel with files attached. Don't recognise it. [DOCTOR] Patch it through to the laptop. [JACK] Since we're telling stories, there's something I haven't toldyou. [DOCTOR] You work for Torchwood. [JACK] I swear to you, it's different. It's changed. There's only half adozen of us now. [DOCTOR] Everything Torchwood did, and you're part of it? [JACK] The old regime was destroyed at Canary Wharf. I rebuilt it, Ichanged it, and when I did that, I did it for you in your honour. [VIVIEN [on screen]] If I haven't returned to my desk by twenty twohundred, this file will be emailed to Torchwood. Which means if you'rewatching this, then I'm. Anyway, the Saxon files are attached. But takea look at the Archangel document. That's when it all started. WhenHarry Saxon became Minister in charge of launching the ArchangelNetwork. [DOCTOR] What's the Archangel Network? [MARTHA] I've got Archangel. Everyone's got it. [JACK] It's a mobile phone network. Because look, it's gone worldwide.They've got fifteen satellites in orbit. Even the other networks,they're all carried by Archangel. [DOCTOR] It's in the phones! Oh, I said he was a hypnotist. Wait, wait,wait. Hold on. [DOCTOR] There it is. That rhythm, it's everywhere, ticking away in thesubconscious. [MARTHA] What is it, mind control? [DOCTOR] No, no, no, no, no. It's subtler than that. Any stronger andpeople would question it. But contained in that rhythm, in layers ofcode, Vote Saxon. Believe in me. Whispering to the world. Oh, yes!That's how he hid himself from me, because I should have sensed therewas another Time Lord on Earth. I should have known way back. Thesignal cancelled him out. [JACK] Any way you can stop it? [DOCTOR] Not from down here. But now we know how he's doing it. [MARTHA] And we can fight back. [DOCTOR] Oh, yes! [DOCTOR] Three Tardis keys. Three pieces of the Tardis, all with lowlevel perception properties because the Tardis is designed to blend in.Well, sort of. But now, the Archangel Network's got a second low levelsignal. Weld the key to the network and Martha, look at me. You can seeme, yes? [MARTHA] Yes. [DOCTOR] What about now? [DOCTOR] No, I'm here. Look at me. [MARTHA] It's like I know you're there, but I don't want to know. [DOCTOR] And back again. See? It just shifts your perception a tinylittle bit. Doesn't make us invisible, just unnoticed. Oh, I know whatit's like. It's like, it's like when you fancy someone and they don'teven know you exist. That's what it's like. Come on. [JACK] You too, huh? --------------------------------------- (Pathway) [DOCTOR] Don't run, don't shout. Just keep yourvoice down. Draw attention to yourself and the spell is broken. Justkeep to the shadows. [JACK] Like ghosts. [DOCTOR] Yeah, that's what we are. Ghosts. [NEWS 24] And as they eyes of the world turn towards Great Britain,sources indicate that Air Force One has landed on British soil tonight. --------------------------------------- (Airport) [MASTER] Mister President, sir. [WINTERS] Mister Saxon, the British Army will stand down. From now on,UNIT has control of this operation. [MASTER] You make it sound like an invasion. [WINTERS] First Contact policy was decided by the Security Council in1968, and you've just gone and ignored it. [MASTER] Well, you know what it's like. New job, all that paperwork. Ithink it's down the back of the settee. I did have a quick look. Ifound a pen, a sweet, a bus ticket and er, have you met the wife? [WINTERS] Mister Saxon, I'm not sure what your game is but there areprovisions at the United Nations to have you removed from office unlessyou are very, very careful. Is that understood? Are you taking thisseriously? To business. We've accessed your files on these Toclafane. [WINTERS] First Contact cannot take place on any sovereign soil. To thatpurpose, the aircraft carrier Valiant is en route. The rendezvous willtake place there at eight am. You're trying my patience, sir. [MASTER] So America is completely in charge? [WINTERS] Since Britain elected an ass, yes. I'll see you onboard theValiant. [MASTER] It still will be televised, though, won't it. Because Ipromised, and the whole world is watching. [WINTERS] Since it's too late to pull out, the world will be watching.Me. [MASTER] The last President of America. We have a private plane readyand waiting. We should reach the Valiant within the hour. My darling. [MASTER] Ha ha ha! Hi, guys! [CLIVE] You can't just do this. [MASTER] All will be revealed. [MARTHA] Oh my God. [DOCTOR] Don't move. [MARTHA] But the [DOCTOR] Don't. [MARTHA] I'm going to kill him. [JACK] What say I use this perception filter to walk up behind him andbreak his neck? [DOCTOR] Now that sounds like Torchwood. [JACK] Still a good plan. [DOCTOR] He's a Time Lord, which makes him my responsibility. I'm nothere to kill him. I'm here to save him. [JACK] Aircraft carrier Valiant. It's a UNIT ship at fifty eight pointtwo north, ten point oh two east. [MARTHA] How do we get on board? [DOCTOR] Does that thing work as a teleport? [JACK] Since you revamped it, yeah. Coordinates set. --------------------------------------- (Engine room) [MARTHA] Oh, that thing is rough. [JACK] I've has worse nights. Welcome to the Valiant. [MARTHA] It's dawn? Hold on, I thought this was a ship. Where's the sea? [JACK] A ship for the twenty first century, protecting the skies ofplanet Earth. --------------------------------------- (Flight deck) [TANNOY] Europe now online. Awaiting confirmationfrom South America. And keep tracking Japan. [WINTERS] I want the whole thing branded in my suit of office, not theUN. You got that? [WOMAN] This material is being transmitted prior to transmission. [MASTER] Anything I can do? I could make the tea, or isn't that Americanenough? I don't know, I could make grits. What are grits, anyway? [WINTERS] It you could just sit. [MASTER] Misery guts. What do you think? It's good, isn't it? [LUCY] It's beautiful. [MASTER] Some of my best work. Ministry of Defence. I helped design thisplace. Every detail. --------------------------------------- (Valiant) [JACK] We've no time for sightseeing. [DOCTOR] No, wait. Shush, shush, shush, shush. Can't you hear it? [JACK] Hear what? [MARTHA] Doctor, my family's on board. [DOCTOR] Brilliant. This way. [DOCTOR] Oh, at last! [MARTHA] Oh, yes! [JACK] What's it doing on the Valiant? --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [JACK] What the hell's he done? [DOCTOR] Don't touch it. [JACK] I'm not going to. [MARTHA] What's he done though? Sounds like it's sick. [DOCTOR] It can't be. No, no, no, no, no, no, it can't be. [MARTHA] Doctor, what is it? [DOCTOR] He's cannibalised the Tardis. [JACK] Is this what I think it is? [DOCTOR] It's a paradox machine. --------------------------------------- (Flight deck) [WINTERS] Two minutes, everyone. [WINTERS] According to the treaty, all armed personnel are requested toleave the flight deck immediately. Thank you. [TANNOY] Five, four, three, two, one. [MASTER] Jelly baby? [WINTERS] Broadcasting at seven fifty eight with the arrival timed foreight hundred hours exactly. And, er, good luck to all of us. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] As soon as this hits red, it activates. At this speed, it'lltrigger at two minutes past eight. [JACK] First contact is at eight, then two minutes later [MARTHA] What's it for? What does a paradox machine do? [JACK] More important, can you stop it? [DOCTOR] Not till I know what it's doing. Touch the wrong bit, blow upthe solar system. [MARTHA] Then we've got to get to the Master. [JACK] Yeah. How are we going to stop him? [DOCTOR] Oh, I've got a way. Sorry, didn't I mention it? --------------------------------------- (Various locations) [NEWS 24] And in just thirty seconds' time, we'll be going live to FirstContact. It's been announced that Harold Saxon has invited PresidentWinters to take the address. [AMNN] It's three am in the morning on the eastern seaboard andPresident Winters has been chosen to lead the world into a new age. --------------------------------------- (Flight deck) [WINTERS] My fellow Americans, patriots, people ofthe world. I stand before you today as ambassador for humanity, a roleI will undertake with the utmost solemnity. Perhaps our Toclafanecousins can offer us much, but what is important is not that we gainmaterial benefits, but that we learn to see ourselves anew. [WINTERS] For as long as man has looked at the stars, he has wonderedwhat mysteries they hold. Now we know we are not alone. [JACK] (sotto) This plan, you going to tell us? [WINTERS] No longer unique in the universe. [DOCTOR] If I can get this around the Master's neck, cancel out hisperception, they'll see him for real. It's just hard to go unnoticedwith everyone on red alert. If they stop me you've got a key. [JACK] Yes, sir. [MARTHA] I'll get him. [WINTERS] And I ask you now, I ask of the human race, to join with me inwelcoming our friends. I give you the Toclafane. [WINTERS] My name is Arthur Coleman Winters, President Elect of theUnited States of America, and designated representative of the UnitedNations. I welcome you to the planet Earth and its associated moon. [MALE SPHERE] You're not the Master. [FEMALE SPHERE] We like the Mister Master. [MALE SPHERE 2] We don't like you. [WINTERS] I can be master, if you so wish. I will accept mastery overyou, if that is God's will. [MALE SPHERE 2] Man is stupid. [MALE SPHERE] Master is our friend. [MASTER] Oh, all right then. It's me. Ta da! Sorry, sorry, I have thiseffect. People just get obsessed. Is it the smile? Is it theaftershave? Is it the capacity to laugh at myself? I don't know. It'scrazy. [WINTERS] Saxon, what are you talking about? [MASTER] I'm taking control, Uncle Sam, starting with you. Kill him. [MASTER] Guards. [GUARD] Nobody move! Nobody move! [MASTER] Now then, peoples of the Earth. Please attend carefully. [GUARD] Stop him! [MASTER] We meet at last, Doctor. Oh, ho. I love saying that. [DOCTOR] Stop it! Stop it now! [MASTER] As if a perception filter's going to work on me. And look, it'sthe girlie and the freak. Although, I'm not sure which one's which. [MASTER] Laser screwdriver. Who'd have sonic? And the good thing is,he's not dead for long. I get to kill him again! [DOCTOR] Master, just calm down. Just look at what you're doing. Juststop. If you could see yourself [MASTER] Oh, do excuse me. Little bit of personal business. Back in aminute. Let him go. [DOCTOR] It's that sound. The sound in your head. What if I could help? [MASTER] Oh, how to shut him up? I know. Memory Lane. Professor Lazarus.Remember him and his genetic manipulation device? What, did you thinkthat little Tish got that job merely by coincidence? I've been layingtraps for you all this time. And if I can concentrate all that Lazarustechnology into one little screwdriver? But, ooo, if I only had theDoctor's biological code. Oh, wait a minute, I do. [MASTER] I've got his hand. And if Lazarus made himself younger, what ifI reverse it? Another hundred years? [JACK] Teleport. [MARTHA] I can't. [JACK] We can't stop him. Get out of here. Get out. [MARTHA] Doctor? I've got you. [MASTER] Ah, she's a would be doctor. But tonight, Martha Jones, we'veflown them in all the way from prison. [GUARD] Come on, move. [MARTHA] Mum. [FRANCINE] I'm sorry. [DOCTOR] The Toclafane. What are they? Who are they? [MASTER] Doctor, if I told you the truth, your hearts would break. [MALE SPHERE] Is it time? Is it ready? [FEMALE SPHERE] Is the machine singing? [MASTER] Two minutes past. So, Earthings. Basically, er, end of theworld. Here come the drums! [SINGER] Here come the drums. Here come the drums. Baby, baby, baby. Youare my voodoo child, my voodoo child. Don't say maybe, maybe. [SINGER] It's supernatural. I'm coming undone. Baby, baby, baby. You aremy voodoo child, my voodoo child. Don't say maybe, maybe. It'ssupernatural. I'm coming undone. Baby, baby, baby. You are my voodoochild, my voodoo child. [MASTER] How many do you think? [LUCY] I, I don't know. [MASTER] Six billion. Down you go, kids! [MASTER] Shall we decimate them? That sounds good. A nice word,decimate. Remove one tenth of the population! [GENEVA [OC]] Valiant, this is Geneva. We're getting slaughtered downhere. Valiant, report. Help us. For God's sake, help us! They'reeverywhere! [LONDON [OC]] This is London, Valiant. This is London calling. What dowe do? They're killing us! The Toclafane are all around. They'rekilling us.(Martha teleports away. The Doctor and Jack look at each other, and theDoctor nods.) --------------------------------------- (Hampstead Heath) [MARTHA] I'm coming back. --------------------------------------- (Flight deck) [MASTER] And so it came to pass that the human race fell, and the Earthwas no more. And I looked down upon my new dominion as Master of all,and I thought it good.

Doctor Who (30 Jun, 2007; Tenth Doctor) - Last of the Time Lords (Beach) [MARTHA] What's your name, then? [TOM] Tom Milligan. No need to ask who you are. The famous Martha Jones.How long since you were last in Britain? [MARTHA] Three hundred and sixty five days. It's been a long year. [TOM] So what's the plan? [MARTHA] This Professor Docherty. I need to see her. Can you get methere? [TOM] She works in a repair shed, Nuclear Plant Seven. I can get youinside. What's all this for? What's so important about her? [MARTHA] Sorry, the more you know, the more you're at risk. [TOM] There's a lot of people depending on you. You're a bit of alegend. [MARTHA] What does the legend say? [TOM] That you sailed the Atlantic, walked across America. That you werethe only person to get out of Japan alive. Martha Jones, they say,she's going to save the world. Bit late for that. [MARTHA] How come you can drive? Don't you get stopped? [TOM] Medical staff. Used to be in paediatrics back in the old days. Butthat gives me a licence to travel so I can help out other the labourcamps. [MARTHA] Great. I'm travelling with a doctor. --------------------------------------- (Van cab) [TOM] Story goes that you're the only person onEarth who can kill him. That you, and you alone, can kill the Masterstone dead. [MARTHA] Let's just drive. --------------------------------------- (Flight deck) [MASTER [OC]] Citizens rejoice. Your lord and masterstands on high, playing track three. [SINGER] I can't decide whether you should live or die. Though you'llprobably go to Heaven,please don't hang your head and cry. No wonder why my heart feels deadinside. It's cold and hard and petrified. Lock the doors and close theblinds, we're going for a ride. Oh, I could throw you in a lake or feedyou poisoned birthday cake. I won't deny I'mgoing to miss you when you're gone. [SINGER] Oh, I could bury you alive but you might crawl out with a knifeand kill me when I'm sleeping, that's why I can't decide whether youshould live or die. Oh you'll probably go to Heaven, please don't hangyour head and cry. No wonder why my heart feels dead inside. It's coldand hard and petrified. Lock the doors and close the blinds, we'regoing for a ride. [MASTER] It's ready to rise, Doctor. The new Time Lord Empire. It'sgood, isn't it? Isn't it good? Anything? No? Anything? Oh, but theybroke your hearts, didn't they, those Toclafane, ever since you workedout what they really are. They say Martha Jones has come back home. Nowwhy would she do that? [DOCTOR] Leave her alone. [MASTER] But you said something to her, didn't you? On the day I tookcontrol. What did you tell her? [DOCTOR] I have one thing to say to you. You know what it is. [MASTER] Oh no, you don't! [TANNOY] Valiant now entering Zone One airspace. Citizens rejoice. [MASTER] Come on, people! What are we doing? Launch Day in twenty fourhours.(The Doctor holds three fingers against his thigh. Francine repeats thesignal to Clive, who is mopping the deck in a corridor. He passes thesignal on to Tish, who is also a maid, as she takes a meal to theprisoner.) --------------------------------------- (Brig) [JACK] Morning, Tish. Ah, smell that sea air. Makes me long for good oldBritish fish and chips. Yeah. What do I get? Cold mashed swede. Somehotel. Last time I book over the Internet. --------------------------------------- (Quarry) [MARTHA] All over the Earth, those things. He's even carved himself intoMount Rushmore. [TOM] Best to keep down. Here we go. The entire south coast of England,converted into shipyards. They bring in slave labour every morning.Break up cars, houses, anything, just for the metal. Building a fleetout of scrap. [MARTHA] You should see Russia. That's Shipyard Number One. All the wayfrom the Black Sea to the Bering Strait, there's a hundred thousandrockets getting ready for war. [TOM] War? With who? [MARTHA] The rest of the universe. I've been out there, Tom, in space,before all this happened, and there's a thousand differentcivilisations all around us with no idea of what's happening here. TheMaster can build weapons big enough to devastate them all. [TOM] You've been in space? [MARTHA] Problem with that? [TOM] No. No, just er, wow. Anything else I should know? [MARTHA] I've met Shakespeare. [SPHERE] Identify, little man. [TOM] I've got a licence. Thomas Milligan, Peripatetic Medical Squad.I'm allowed to travel. I was just checking for [SPHERE] Soon the rockets will fly, and everyone will need medicine.You'll be so busy. [TOM] But they didn't see you. [MARTHA] How do you think I travelled the world? [MARTHA] Because the Master set up Archangel, that mobile network,fifteen satellites around the planet, but really it's transmitting thislow level psychic field. That's how everyone got hypnotised intothinking he was Harold Saxon. [TOM] Saxon. Feels like years ago. [MARTHA] But the key's tuned in to the same frequency. Makes me sort ofnot invisible, just unnoticeable. [TOM] Well, I can see you. [MARTHA] That's because you wanted to. [TOM] Yeah, I suppose I did. [MARTHA] Is there a Mrs Milligan? [TOM] No. No. What about you? [MARTHA] There used to be someone. [MARTHA] A long time ago. Come on, I've got to find this Docherty woman. [TOM] We'll have to wait until the next work shift. What time is it now? [MARTHA] It's nearly three o'clock. --------------------------------------- (Flight deck) [MASTER] Time for my massage. Who shall I have today? Tanya. Come on,sweetheart. Lucy, have you met Tanya? She's gorgeous. Tanya, when we goto the stars, I'm going to take you to the Catriga Nova. Whirlpools ofgold. [MASTER] You two should get to know each other. That might be fun. [TANNOY] Condition red. [MASTER] What the hell? [TANNOY] Repeat, condition red. [MASTER] Oh, I see. [DOCTOR] I told you. I have one thing to say. --------------------------------------- (Passageways) [JACK] Oh, here we go again. --------------------------------------- (Flight deck) [MASTER] Isomorphic controls. [MASTER] Which means they only work for me. Like this. [MASTER] Say sorry! [FRANCINE] Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. [TISH] Mum! [MASTER] Didn't you learn anything from the blessed Saint Martha? Sidingwith the Doctor is a very dangerous thing to do. Take them away. [GUARD] Move. Come on. [MASTER] Okay. Gotcha. [MASTER] Oh boy. There you go, Gramps. Oh, do you know, I remember thedays when the Doctor, oh, that famous Doctor, was waging a Time War,battling Sea Devils and Axons. He sealed the rift at the Medusa Cascadesingle handed. And look at him now. Stealing screwdrivers. How did heever come to this? Oh yeah, me. [DOCTOR] I just need you to listen. [MASTER] No, it's my turn. Revenge! Best served hot. And this time, it'sa message for Miss Jones. --------------------------------------- (Workshop) [TOM] Professor Docherty? [DOCHERTY] Busy. [TOM] They, er, they sent word ahead. I'm Tom Milligan. This is MarthaJones. [DOCHERTY] She can be the Queen of Sheba for all I care. I'm still busy. [MARTHA] Televisions don't work anymore. [DOCHERTY] Oh God, I miss Countdown. Never been the same since Des tookover. Both Deses. What's the plural for Des? Desi? Deseen? But we'vebeen told there's going to be a transmission from the man himself. [DOCHERTY] There! [MASTER [on TV]] My people. Salutations on this, the eve of war. Lovelywoman. But I know there's all sorts of whispers down there. Stories ofa child, walking the Earth, giving you hope. --------------------------------------- (Flight deck) [MASTER] But I ask you --------------------------------------- (Workshop) [MASTER [on TV]] How much hope has this man got? Sayhello, Gandalf. Except he's not that old, but he's an alien with a muchgreater lifespan than you stunted little apes. But what if it showed? --------------------------------------- (Flight deck) [MASTER] What if I suspend your capacity toregenerate? All nine hundred years of your life, Doctor. What if wecould see them? [MASTER] Older and older and older. Down you go, Doctor. Down, down,down the years. [MASTER] Doctor. --------------------------------------- (Workshop) [MASTER [on TV]] Received and understood, MissJones? [TOM] I'm sorry. [MARTHA] The Doctor's still alive. [DOCHERTY] Obviously the Archangel Network would seem to be the Master'sgreatest weakness. Fifteen satellites all around the Earth, stilltransmitting. That's why there's so little resistance. It'sbroadcasting a telepathic signal that keeps people scared. [TOM] We could just take them out. [DOCHERTY] We could. Fifteen ground to air missiles. You got any on you?Besides, any military action, the Toclafane descend. [MARTHA] They're not called Toclafane. That's a name the Master made up. [DOCHERTY] Then what are they, then? [MARTHA] That's why I came to find you. Know your enemy. I've got this. [MARTHA] No one's been able to look at a sphere close up. They can'teven be damaged, except once. The lightning strike in South Africabrought one of them down, just by chance. I've got the readings onthis. [DOCHERTY] Oh, whoever thought we'd miss Bill Gates. [TOM] So is that why you travelled the world? To find a disc? [MARTHA] No. Just got lucky. [DOCHERTY] I heard stories that you walked the Earth to find a way tobuild a weapon. There! A current of fifty eight point five kiloamperestransferred charge of five hundred and ten megajoules precisely. [TOM] Can you recreate that? [DOCHERTY] I think so. Easily. Yes. [MARTHA] Right then, Doctor Milligan, we're going to get us a sphere. [MARTHA] He's coming. You ready? [DOCHERTY] You do your job, I'll do mine! [TOM] Now! [DOCHERTY] That's only half the job. Let's find out what's inside. --------------------------------------- (Flight deck) [FRANCINE [OC]] I'm going To kill him, if I have to wait a hundredyears. I'm going to kill the Master. --------------------------------------- (Brig) [FRANCINE [OC]] One day he'll let his guard down. One day. --------------------------------------- (Cell) [FRANCINE] And I'll be there. [CLIVE] No, that's my job. I'll swear to you, I'd shoot that man stonedead. [TISH] I'll get him. Even if it kills me. [FRANCINE] Don't say that. [TISH] I mean it. That man made us stand on deck and watch the islandsof Japan burning. Millions of people. I swear to you, he's dead. --------------------------------------- (Flight deck) [MASTER] Tomorrow, they launch. We're opening up a rift in theBraccatolian space. They won't see us coming. It kind of scary. [DOCTOR] Then stop. [MASTER] Once the Empire is established, and there's a new Gallifrey inthe heavens, maybe then it stops. The drumming. The never endingdrumbeat. Ever since I was a child. I looked into the vortex. That'swhen it chose me. The drumming, the call to war. Can't you hear it?Listen, it's there now. Right now. Tell me you can hear it, Doctor.Tell me. [DOCTOR] It's only you. [MASTER] Good. [FEMALE SPHERE] Tomorrow, the war. Tomorrow we rise, never to fall. [MASTER] You see? I'm doing it for them. You should be grateful. Afterall, you love them so very, very much. --------------------------------------- (Workshop) [DOCHERTY] There's some sort of magnetic clamp. Hold on, I'll just tripthe [DOCHERTY] Oh my God! [DOCHERTY] It's alive. [SPHERE] Martha. Martha Jones. [TOM] It knows you. [SPHERE] Sweet, kind Martha Jones. You helped us to fly. [MARTHA] What do you mean? [SPHERE] You led us to salvation. [MARTHA] Who are you? [SPHERE] The skies are made of diamonds. [MARTHA] No. You can't be him. [CREET [memory]] The skies are made of diamonds. [SPHERE] We share each other's memories. You sent him to Utopia. [MARTHA] Oh, my God. [TOM] What's it talking about? What's it mean? [DOCHERTY] What are they? [TOM] Martha. Martha, tell us. What are they? [MARTHA] They're us. They're humans. The human race from the future. --------------------------------------- (Flight deck) [MASTER] I took Lucy to Utopia. A Time Lord and hishuman companion. I took her to see the stars. Isn't that right,sweetheart? [LUCY] Trillions of years into the future, to the end of the universe. [MASTER] Tell him what you saw. [LUCY] Dying. Everything dying. The whole of creation was falling apart,and I thought, there's no point. No point to anything. Not ever. [MASTER] And it's all your fault. --------------------------------------- (Workshop) [MARTHA] I'd sort of worked it out with the paradoxmachine, because the Doctor said, on the day before the Master came topower, he said [DOCTOR [memory]] When he was stealing the Tardis, the only thing Icould do was fuse the coordinates. I locked them permanently. He canonly travel between the year one hundred trillion and the last placethe Tardis landed, Which is right here, right now. [MARTHA] The Master had the Tardis, this time machine, but the onlyother place he could go was the end of the universe, so he foundUtopia. --------------------------------------- (Flight deck) [MASTER] You should have seen it, Doctor. Furnacesburning. The last of humanity screaming at the dark. --------------------------------------- (Workshop) [MARTHA] The Utopia Project was the last hope.Trying to find a way to escape the end of everything. [SPHERE] There was no solution, no diamonds. Just the dark and the cold. --------------------------------------- (Flight deck) [MASTER] All that human invention that had sustainedthem across the eons. It all turned inwards. They cannibalisedthemselves. [FEMALE SPHERE] We made ourselves so pretty. [MASTER] Regressing into children. But it didn't work. The universe wascollapsing around them. --------------------------------------- (Workshop) [SPHERE] But then the Master came with his wonderfultime machine to bring us back home. [DOCHERTY] But that's a paradox. If you're the future of the human race,and you've come back to murder your ancestors, you should cancelyourselves out. You shouldn't exist. [MARTHA] And that's the paradox machine. --------------------------------------- (Flight deck) [MASTER] My masterpiece, Doctor. A living Tardis,strong enough to hold the paradox in place, allowing the past and thefuture to collide in infinite majesty. [DOCTOR] But you're changing history. Not just Earth, the entireuniverse. [MASTER] I'm a Time Lord. I have that right. [DOCTOR] But even then, why come all this way just to destroy? [FEMALE SPHERE] We come backwards in time all to build a brand newempire lasting one hundred trillion years. [MASTER] With me as their master. Time Lord and humans combined. Haven'tyou always dreamt of that, Doctor? --------------------------------------- (Workshop) [TOM] But what about us? We're the same species. Whydo you kill so many of us? [SPHERE] Because it's fun! --------------------------------------- (Flight deck) [MASTER] Human race, greatest monsters of them all.Night, then. --------------------------------------- (Docherty's room) [DOCHERTY] I think it's time we had the truth, MissJones. The legend says you've travelled the world to find a way ofkilling the Master. Tell us, is it true? [MARTHA] Just before I escaped, the Doctor told me. The Doctor and theMaster, they've been coming to Earth for years. And they've beenwatched. There's UNIT and Torchwood, all studying Time Lords in secret.And they made this, the ultimate defence. [TOM] All you need to do is get close. I can shoot the Master dead withthis. [DOCHERTY] Actually, you can put that down now, thank you very much. [MARTHA] Point is, it's not so easy to kill a Time Lord. They canregenerate. Literally bring themselves back to life. [DOCHERTY] Ah, the Master's immortal. Wonderful. [MARTHA] Except for this. Four chemicals, slotted into the gun. Injecthim. Kills a Time Lord permanently. [TOM] Four chemicals? You've only got three. [MARTHA] Still need the last one, because the components of this gunwere kept safe, scattered across the world, and I found them. SanDiego, Beijing, Budapest and London. [TOM] Then where is it? [MARTHA] There's an old UNIT base, north London. I've found the accesscodes. Tom, you've got to get me there. --------------------------------------- (Workshop) [TOM] We can't get across London in the dark. It'sfull of wild dogs. We'll get eaten alive. We can wait till the morning,then go with the medical convoy. [DOCHERTY] You can spend the night here, if you like. [TOM] No, we can get halfway, stay at the slave quarters in Bexley.Professor, thank you. [DOCHERTY] And you. Good luck. [MARTHA] Thanks. [DOCHERTY] Martha, could you do it? Could you actually kill him? [MARTHA] I've got no choice. [DOCHERTY] You might be many things, but you don't look like a killer tome. --------------------------------------- (Outside the slave quarters) [TOM] Let me in. It's Milligan. --------------------------------------- (Slave quarters) [WOMAN] Did you bring food? [TOM] Couldn't get any, and I'm starving. [WOMAN] All we've got is water. [MARTHA] I'm sorry. [TOM] It's cheaper than building barracks. Pack them in, a hundred ineach house, ferry them off to the shipyards every morning. [BOY] Are you Martha Jones? [MARTHA] Yeah, that's me. [BOY] Can you do it? Can you kill him? They said you can kill theMaster, can you? Tell us you can do it. Please, tell us you can do it. [WOMAN] Who is the Master? [TOM] Come on, just leave her alone. She's exhausted. [MARTHA] No, it's all right. They want me to talk, and I will. --------------------------------------- (Workshop) [DOCHERTY] Access Priority One. This is Professor Alison Docherty. [COMPUTER] State your intent. [DOCHERTY] First of all, I need to know about my son. [COMPUTER] State your intent. [DOCHERTY] Is my son still alive? [COMPUTER] State your intent. [DOCHERTY] I have some information for the Master concerning MarthaJones. --------------------------------------- (Flight deck) [MASTER] Guess what. --------------------------------------- (Slave quarters) [MARTHA] I travelled across the world, from theruins of New York to the fusion mills of China, right across theradiation pits of Europe. And everywhere I went, I saw people just likeyou, living as slaves. But if Martha Jones became a legend, then that'swrong, because my name isn't important. There's someone else. The manwho sent me out there. The man who told me to walk the Earth. And hisname is the Doctor. He has saved your lives so many times, and younever even knew he was there. He never stops. He never stays. He neverasks to be thanked. But I've seen him. I know him. I love him. And Iknow what he can do. [WOMAN] It's him! It's him! Oh my God, it's him! It's the Master. He'shere. [BOY] But he never comes to Earth. He never walks upon the ground. [WOMAN] Hide her! [TOM] Use this. [BOY] He walks among us, our lord and master. --------------------------------------- (Outside the slave quarters) [MASTER] Martha. Martha Jones. I can see you! Outyou come, little girl. Come and meet your master. Anybody? Nobody? No?Nothing? Positions. I'll give the order unless you surrender. Askyourself. What would the Doctor do?(Martha takes off the Tardis key and goes outside.) [MASTER] Oh, yes. Oh, very well done. Good girl. He trained you well.Bag. Give me the bag. No, stay there. Just throw it. [MASTER] And now, good companion, your work is done. [TOM] No! [MASTER] But you, when you die, the Doctor should be witness, hmm?Almost dawn, Martha, and planet Earth marches to war. --------------------------------------- (Flight deck) [MASTER [OC]] Citizens of Earth, rejoice andobserve. [MASTER] Your teleport device, in case you thought I'd forgotten. [MASTER] And now, kneel. Down below, the fleet is ready to launch. Twohundred thousand ships set to burn across the universe. Are we ready? [MAN [OC]] The fleet awaits your signal. Rejoice! [MASTER] Three minutes to align the black hole converters. Countingdown. I never could resist a ticking clock. My children, are you ready? [SPHERES [in orbit]] We will fly and blaze and slice. We will fly andblaze and slice.MASTER [MASTER] What. What's so funny? [MARTHA] A gun. [MASTER] What about it? [MARTHA] A gun in four parts? [MASTER] Yes, and I destroyed it. [MARTHA] A gun in four parts scattered across the world? I mean, comeon, did you really believe that? [MASTER] What do you mean? [DOCTOR] As if I would ask her to kill. [MASTER] Oh well, it doesn't matter. I've got her exactly where I wanther. [MARTHA] But I knew what Professor Docherty would do. The Resistanceknew about her son. [MARTHA [memory]] That's why I came to find you. Know your enemy. [MARTHA] I told her about the gun, so she'd get me here at the righttime. [MASTER] Oh, but you're still going to die. [MARTHA] Don't you want to know what I was doing, travelling the world? [MASTER] Tell me. [MARTHA] I told a story, that's all. No weapons, just words. I did justwhat the Doctor said. I went across the continents all on my own. Andeverywhere I went, I found the people, and I told them my story. [MARTHA [in slave quarters]] He has saved your lives so many times, andyou never even knew he was there. I know him. [MARTHA] I told them about the Doctor. [MARTHA [in slave quarters]] I love him. [MARTHA] And I told them to pass it on, to spread the word so thateveryone would know about the Doctor. [MASTER] Faith and hope? Is that all? [MARTHA] No, because I gave them an instruction, just as the Doctorsaid. [DOCTOR [memory]] Use the countdown. [MARTHA] I told them that if everyone thinks of one word, at onespecific time [MASTER] Nothing will happen. Is that your weapon? Prayer? [MARTHA] Right across the world, in word, just one thought at one momentbut with fifteen satellites. [MASTER] What? [JACK] The Archangel Network. [MARTHA] A telepathic field binding the whole human race together, withall of them, every single person on Earth, thinking the same thing atthe same time. And that word is Doctor. [MASTER] Stop it. No, no, no, no, you don't. [JACK] Doctor. Doctor. [FRANCINE] Doctor. [MASTER] Don't. [CROWD [on monitor]] Doctor. Doctor. Doctor. [MASTER] Stop this right now. Stop it! [LUCY] Doctor. [JACK] Doctor. [MARTHA] Doctor. [CROWD [on monitor]] Doctor. [DOCTOR] I've had a whole year to tune myself into the psychic networkand integrate with its matrices. [MASTER] I order you to stop! [CROWDS] Doctor. Doctor. Doctor. Doctor. [LUCY] Doctor. [DOCTOR] The one thing you can't do. Stop them thinking. [DOCTOR] Tell me the human race is degenerate now, when they can dothis. [MASTER] No! [DOCTOR] I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. [MASTER] Then I'll kill them. [MASTER] You can't do this. You can't do it. It's not fair! [DOCTOR] And you know what happens now. [MASTER] No! No! No! No! [DOCTOR] You wouldn't listen. [MASTER] No! [DOCTOR] Because you know what I'm going to say. [MASTER] No. [DOCTOR] I forgive you. [MASTER] My children. [SPHERES [in orbit]] Protect the paradox. Protect the paradox. Protectthe paradox. [DOCTOR] Captain, the paradox machine! [JACK] You men, with me! You stay here. [DOCTOR] No! --------------------------------------- (Quarry) [MASTER] Now it ends, Doctor. Now it ends. --------------------------------------- (Flight deck) [MARTHA] We've all six billion spheres heading rightfor us. --------------------------------------- (Quarry) [DOCTOR] We've got control of the Valiant. You can'tlaunch. [MASTER] Oh, but I've got this. Black hole converter inside every ship.If I can't have this world, Doctor, then neither can you. We shallstand upon this Earth together, as it burns. --------------------------------------- (Valiant) [(Jack and the guards find three spheres areguarding the Tardis, so they start shooting at them. The rest arehurtling back down towards the Valiant.)GUARD] Can't get in. We'd get slaughtered. [JACK] Yeah. Happens to me a lot. --------------------------------------- (Quarry) [DOCTOR] Weapon after weapon after weapon. All youdo is talk and talk and talk. But over all these years and all thesedisasters, I've always had the greatest secret of them all. I know you.Explode those ships, you kill yourself. That's the one thing you cannever do. Give that to me. --------------------------------------- (Flight deck) [DOCTOR] Everyone get down! Time is reversing! [DOCTOR] The paradox is broken. We've reverted back, one year and oneday. Two minutes past eight in the morning. [MAN [OC]] This is UNIT Central. What's happened up there? We just sawthe President assassinated. [DOCTOR] Just after the President was killed, but just before thespheres arrived. Everything back to normal. Planet Earth restored. Noneof it happened. The rockets, the terror. It never was. [MARTHA] What about the spheres? [DOCTOR] Trapped at the end of the universe. [FRANCINE] But I can remember it. [DOCTOR] We're at the eye of the storm. The only ones who'll ever know.Oh, hello. You must be Mister Jones. We haven't actually met. [JACK] Whoa, big fella! You don't want to miss the party. Cuffs. So,what do we do with this one? [CLIVE] We kill him. [TISH] We execute him. [DOCTOR] No, that's not the solution. [FRANCINE] Oh, I think so. Because all those things, they still happenedbecause of him. I saw them. [MASTER] Go on. Do it. [DOCTOR] Francine, you're better than him. [MASTER] You still haven't answered the question. What happens to me? [DOCTOR] You're my responsibility from now on. The only Time Lord leftin existence. [JACK] Yeah, but you can't trust him. [DOCTOR] No. The only safe place for him is the Tardis. [MASTER] You mean you're just going to keep me? [DOCTOR] Mmm. If that's what I have to do. It's time to change. MaybeI've been wandering for too long. Now I've got someone to care for. [JACK] Put it down. [DOCTOR] There you go. I've got you. I've got you. [MASTER] Always the women. [DOCTOR] I didn't see her. [MASTER] Dying in your arms. Happy now? [DOCTOR] You're not dying. Don't be stupid. It's only a bullet. Justregenerate. [MASTER] No. [DOCTOR] One little bullet. Come on. [MASTER] I guess you don't know me so well. I refuse. [DOCTOR] Regenerate. Just regenerate. Please. Please! Just regenerate.Come on. [MASTER] And spend the rest of my life imprisoned with you? [DOCTOR] You've got to. Come on. It can't end like this. You and me, allthe things we've done. Axons. Remember the Axons? And the Daleks. We'rethe only two left. There's no one else. Regenerate! [MASTER] How about that. I win. Will it stop, Doctor? The drumming. Willit stop? [DOCTOR] No! --------------------------------------- (Park) [MARTHA] Just to say, I don't blame you. [DOCHERTY] But who are you? --------------------------------------- (Roald Dahl Plass) [MARTHA] Time was, every single one of these peopleknew your name. Now they've all forgotten you. [DOCTOR] Good. [JACK] Back to work. [DOCTOR] I really don't mind, though. Come with me. [JACK] I had plenty of time to think that past year, the year that neverwas, and I kept thinking about that team of mine. Like you said,Doctor, responsibility. [DOCTOR] Defending the Earth. Can't argue with that. [JACK] Hey, I need that. [DOCTOR] I can't have you walking around with a time travellingteleport. You could go anywhere, twice. The second time to apologise. [JACK] And what about me? Can you fix that? Will I ever be able to die? [DOCTOR] Nothing I can do. You're an impossible thing, Jack. [JACK] Been called that before. Sir. Ma'am. But I keep wondering. Whatabout aging? Because I can't die but I keep getting older. The oddlittle grey hair, you know? What happens if I live for a million years? [DOCTOR] I really don't know. [JACK] Okay, vanity. Sorry. Yeah, can't help it. Used to be a poster boywhen I was a kid living on the BoeshanePeninsula. Tiny little place. I was the first one ever to be signed upfor the Time Agency. They were so proud of me. The Face of Boe, theycalled me. Hmm. I'll see you. [DOCTOR] No. [MARTHA] It can't be. [DOCTOR] No. Definitely not. No. No. --------------------------------------- (Outside Francine's home) [MARTHA] Yeah. Could you put me through? Hi, I'm looking for a DoctorThomas Milligan. --------------------------------------- (Hospital) [TOM] Yeah. --------------------------------------- (Outside Francine's home) [TOM [OC]] Hello? --------------------------------------- (Hospital) [TOM] Hello? --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] Right then, off we go. The open road. Thereis a burst of starfire right now over the coast of Meta Sigmafolio. Oh,the sky is like oil on water. Fancy a look? Or back in time. We could,I don't know, Charles the Second? Henry the Eighth. I know. What aboutAgatha Christie? I'd love to meet Agatha Christie. I bet she'sbrilliant. Okay. [MARTHA] I just can't. [DOCTOR] Yeah. [MARTHA] Spent all these years training to be a doctor. Now I've gotpeople to look after. They saw half the planet slaughtered and they'redevastated. I can't leave them. [DOCTOR] Of course not. Thank you. Martha Jones, you saved the world. [MARTHA] Yes, I did. I spent a lot of time with you thinking I wassecond best, but you know what? I am good. Yougoing to be all right? [DOCTOR] Always. Yeah. [MARTHA] Right then. Bye. [MARTHA] Because the thing is, it's like my friend Vicky. She lived withthis bloke, student housing, there were five of them all packed in, andthis bloke was called Sean. And she loved him. She did. She completelyadored him. Spent all day long talking about him. [DOCTOR] Is this going anywhere? [MARTHA] Yes. Because he never looked at her twice. I mean, he likedher, but that was it. And she wasted years pining after him. Years ofher life. Because while he was around, she never looked at anyone else.And I told her, I always said to her, time and time again, I said, getout. So this is me, getting out. [MARTHA] Keep that, because I'm not having you disappear. If that rings,when that rings, you'd better come running. Got it? [DOCTOR] Got it. [MARTHA] I'll see you again, mister. [DOCTOR] What. What? [DOCTOR] What?

Doctor Who (2 Apr, 2007; Tenth Doctor) - The Infinite Quest [BALTAZAR] There it is. So small I could reach out and crush it. [CAW] Crush it. Crush it. [BALTAZAR] Quiet, Caw. This is my moment of destiny. [CAW] Moment of destiny. Moment of destiny. [BALTAZAR] Attention, armoury. Prepare blaster cannons for firing.Commence countdown. [BALTAZAR] I'm the king of the world. [CAW] The world! The world! [DOCTOR] Now, forget your Bonapartes, your Boudiccas, your Blackbeardseven. [BALTAZAR] What? [DOCTOR] This, Martha Jones, this is Baltazar. Scourge of the galaxy,Corsair King of Triton in the fourteenth century, the greatest despotthat ever, ever lived. [MARTHA] This is just, just fantastic. [DOCTOR] Yeah, it is kind of cool. Now, the thing about Baltazar [CAW] Scourge of the galaxy. [DOCTOR] Yeah. The most amazing thing about him is, he forged this shiphimself. [MARTHA] He didn't. [DOCTOR] By hand. Go on, tell her, Baltazar. [BALTAZAR] I tended her by hand over countless decades. Burnished herinto the greatest warship in history. [DOCTOR] And not that long ago blew all of Earth's defence forces fromthe sky. You really shouldn't have done that. [CAW] Shouldn't have done that. [BALTAZAR] And now I'm going to envelope Earth in a field of plasmafire, superheat the carbonites who crawl across its surface [DOCTOR] Really? So then all carbon based life will be super-compressedin a plasma field, making [MARTHA] Diamonds! [DOCTOR] Er, precisely. Yeah, well done. Yes, every living being turnedinto diamonds. [BALTAZAR] The plan starts in seconds. [DOCTOR] Now that is a plan. That is indeed a plan. [DOCTOR] Is that not the most incredible plan you've ever heard? [MARTHA] Oh, incredible. But we're going to stop him, yeah? [DOCTOR] Hmm. By giving him this. [BALTAZAR] Huh? [DOCTOR] I like to stir things up. [DOCTOR] Oh, shouldn't have done that. [MARTHA] And he shouldn't have broken your spoon because? [DOCTOR] That wasn't just any old spoon. That spoon passed through thehands of the greatest chefs of planet Earth. Fanny, Delia, MadameCholette. That spoon was an antique, forged by the now extinctinhabitants of a planet that specialised in rubicola. [MARTHA] Fungus. [DOCTOR] Oh, yes. But not just any old fungus. No, a special hydroxilingfungus. There's been no treatment for it these last two thousand years,which is why, Baltazar, scourge of the galaxy [MARTHA] Your deck is rusting away. [BALTAZAR] What? Nooooo! [MARTHA] That's not ordinary rust. [DOCTOR] No, I pepped it up a bit. Gave it a bit of zing, a bit ofva-va-voom. [CAW] Va-va-voom. Va-va-voom. [MARTHA] Doctor, you can't leave him. Not to the rust. [DOCTOR] Oh, well. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [MARTHA] Will Baltazar ever get caught? [DOCTOR] Oh, I imagine so. His luck can't hold out for ever. [MARTHA] So what will happen, do you think? [DOCTOR] In this era, the most likely Prison Planet would be er,Volag-Noc. Yeah, that's where I'd take him if it were up to me. Coldestplace in the galaxy. [MARTHA] Brr. Nasty. [DOCTOR] Yup. Now, give me a number between zero and ninety nine. [MARTHA] Forty five. [DOCTOR] And another. [MARTHA] Seventy two? [DOCTOR] Another. [MARTHA] Three. What is this, galactic lorry? [DOCTOR] Destination setting. And you, Martha Jones, have randomlychosen to take us to Copacabana beach. Ariba! --------------------------------------- (Space) [BALTAZAR] I'll get you for this, Doctor. I'll make you sorry you wereever born. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] Yes! Six hundred and seventy six million miles an hour, and abit. Rock on! [MARTHA] You're just a boy racer, aren't you. [DOCTOR] Ha! Whoa! [MARTHA] Whoa. What was that? Emergency stop? [DOCTOR] Oh, search me. There's nothing in the manual. [DOCTOR] Go on, then. We've stopped. --------------------------------------- (Pheros) [MARTHA] We've died and gone to Bill Oddy heaven. [CAW] Bill Oddy heaven. Bill Oddy heaven. [MARTHA] I know you. It's Caw, isn't it? [CAW] Welcome to Pheros, Miss Martha. It's Caw's home. [MARTHA] How are you doing, Caw? [CAW] I loves you, Miss Martha. [MARTHA] Oh. [CAW] That's for saving Caw's life all them years ago. [MARTHA] Thank you, Caw. It's really lovely. [CAW] Got some news for you, Doctor. About Baltazar. Let him out ofVolag-Noc. [DOCTOR] Volag-Noc. I was right, Martha. [MARTHA] Yeah, great. Caw, why did they release him from prison? [CAW] Say he's reformed, but Caw reckons he's as bad as ever he was.He'll be coming for Caw. Caw sold him out for a bar of gold. Or three. [MARTHA] What do you need gold for? [DOCTOR] He eats it. [CAW] He won't rest, Doctor. He seeks his heart's desire, and knows howto find it. [DOCTOR] He does? [CAW] The Infinite! [DOCTOR] Oh, that's just a legend. [MARTHA] What is? [CAW] Baltazar thinks different. Thinks he knows how to find it. [MARTHA] Find what? [DOCTOR] The Infinite. [MARTHA] Yeah, I got that, but what exactly is the Infinite? [DOCTOR] Well, let's just say there are things out there in space,Martha. Things that predate our reality. Relics from the Dark Times. [MARTHA] Oh, a fairy tale. [DOCTOR] Oh, far, far more than that. There was a time when the universewas so much smaller than it is now. A darker, older time of chaos.Creatures like the Racnoss, the Nestines and the Great Vampiresrampaged through the void. [MARTHA] And this Infinite, this is one of those relics from the DarkTime. [DOCTOR] It's said that if anyone were to find the Infinite they'dreceive their heart's desire. And frankly, that's quite a thing toreceive. [MARTHA] Yeah, but how's Baltazar going to find it? [CAW] That's how. [MARTHA] What's that? [DOCTOR] It's a data chip. Part of a black box recorder. Dark Timetechnology. [CAW] Baltazar gave it to me for safe keeping. Should be four of them.You need to use each one to find the next. [MARTHA] And find all four, you find the Infinite. Are we going on aquest, then? [DOCTOR] No. The Infinite stays lost. It's nothing more than a legend.As last Custodian to the secrets of the universe it's my duty to see itstays that way. [CAW] You mustn't. Mustn't. He's got a copy. [DOCTOR] I can't let someone like Baltazar, someone as corrupt andtwisted as he is, have access to that kind of power. Caw, you'd betterbe right about this. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] The planet Boukon? Okay, here we go. --------------------------------------- (Pheros) [BALTAZAR] The tracker's in place. [CAW] Ahem. Thank you, caw. It's really lovely. [BALTAZAR] The Doctor's going to find me the Infinite. Going to find memy heart's desire. [CAW] Heart's desire. Heart's desire! [BALTAZAR] And then I'll have my revenge! [CAW] Revenge! Revenge! --------------------------------------- (Boukon) [DOCTOR] Ah, Martha, see those? Artificial suns. [MARTHA] Never. [DOCTOR] Someone wanted the planet Boukon warmed up. [MARTHA] What are they? [DOCTOR] Oil rigs. [MARTHA] Oil rigs? Hang on, they still need oil in the future? [DOCTOR] It ran out on Earth. The Corporations went drilling elsewhere. [MARTHA] To look at them you'd think they were alive. [DOCTOR] You think? Run? [MARTHA] What now? [DOCTOR] Er, well, I'm open to suggestions. [DOCTOR] How'd you do that? Oh, Martha, you're brilliant. Oh yeah, nowyou're just showing off. Whoa! --------------------------------------- (Black Gold) [KALIKO] Hoist the colours, Mister Mate! [SWABB] Aye, aye, Captain. [KALIKO] Let Oil Corp see that the Black Gold is in business. [SWABB] Aye, aye, Captain. Arr. [DOCTOR + MARTHA] Pirates? [SWABB] I'm Swabb, first mate aboard the Black [KALIKO] Now then, Mister Mate, put her in reverse. [SWABB] Aye, aye, Captain. [KALIKO] You two might want to hold on tight. [KALIKO] To the rail. [DOCTOR] Aye, aye, Captain. [KALIKO] Take the strain, me hearties. [SWABB] Heave, lads. [KALIKO] All right, Swabb, maximum power. [SWABB] Aye! [DOCTOR] Well, that I didn't expect. [KALIKO] Cut thrust, Mister Mate. [SWABB] Arr, and pull the rig in? [KALIKO] And siphon it, Swabb. [DOCTOR] Hello there, Captain. [KALIKO] Captain Kaliko. [DOCTOR] Hello there. I'm the Doctor. Martha and I [MARTHA] Doctor, why are they smashing up the oil rigs? [DOCTOR] I told you it was the fortieth century. The last great oilcorporations are sucking the solar system dry to feed demand. Petrolprices have gone through the roof, of course, and the colonies thatcan't afford to pay are dying. [KALIKO] Aye, and the oil companies call us pirates. [DOCTOR] So you're smashing the rigs, siphoning off the petrol. I see. [MARTHA] Robbing the rich to fuel the poor. But that's brilliant. [KALIKO] What do you think we should do with them, Swabb? [SWABB] I don't know, Captain. [KALIKO] Now what I reckon is, to land up in a place like this, you dogsare either Oil Corpspies or planning a spot of pirating yourselves. [DOCTOR] Or, indeed, none of the above. [KALIKO] Either way, I don't want you on the Black Gold, so ahoy there,me heartless hearties, throw these sand-lovers overboard. [SWABB] Hold hard there, lads. [KALIKO] Swabb, you swab, is this mutiny? [MARTHA] Yes! [SWABB] Never, Captain Kaliko, not mutiny. [DOCTOR] No. [SWABB] I just wondered if they be Oil Corp spies, mayhaps we dispose ofthe bodies by putting them inside one of they rigs, ha, ha! Make itlook like an accident. [KALIKO] You're not as empty headed as you seems, Mister Mate. We'll usethe one we just keel-hauled. [SWABB] Aye, aye, Captain. (sotto) Don't worry, Doctor, Martha, you'reperfectly safe with me. [MARTHA] What's he up to? [DOCTOR] I don't think our Mister Swabb is all he's cracked up to be. Iwonder. [KALIKO] Said your prayers yet, Doctor? [DOCTOR] So, er, sorry, let me see if I've got this right. We somehowget inside this rig that you've drained of oil and er, then what? [KALIKO] A quick blast from me mate Swabb's laser pistol, the remainingoil ignites. [DOCTOR] Oil Corp find us dead inside, boiled in oil. [MARTHA] That's murder! [KALIKO] Accidents happen. Now, me hearties, the plank. [MARTHA] Careful with that. [DOCTOR] Ah, ah, ah. Me first. (sotto) I thought Swabb would have madehis move by now. [MARTHA] (sotto) What move? [DOCTOR] (sotto) He's no pirate. If he thinks we're with this Oil Corpthen my guess is [MARTHA] (sotto) That he is too. [DOCTOR] (sotto) Fingers crossed. (normal) Ready. [KALIKO] I like your style, Doctor. Shame you have to die. [DOCTOR] Yeah, yeah, yeah. [DOCTOR] Now, let us go or I'll destroy your ship. [KALIKO] What, with that? No deal. [DOCTOR] Oh, I wish you weren't so obstinate, Kaliko. Oh, well. [MARTHA] Why is it not working? [DOCTOR] Patience. Sand, in the mechanism. Hang on. [DOCTOR] Success! [KALIKO] And? [DOCTOR] And, hold on tight. [KALIKO] Cor, dog, you're damaging the Black Gold. [MARTHA] We're actually on your side, Captain. We came here to save you. [SWABB] It's all right, Martha. The Captain's pirate days are over. I'mwith Oil Corp. [DOCTOR] Told you. [SWABB] And Oil Corp have promised me a new body to replace this bag ofbones. Same goes for you, me hearties, if you'll help me turn theCaptain in. [KALIKO] They'll never turn on me. [KALIKO] Oh, no. [DOCTOR] Thing is, Captain, Swabb here seems to think Martha and I arewith Oil Corp, too. [SWABB] You're not? [DOCTOR] No. [KALIKO] You're not? [MARTHA] No. [DOCTOR] Captain, we've come here to rescue you. [KALIKO] What? [SWABB] Doesn't matter, Captain. Your time is up. Rigs, attack! [DOCTOR] Lucky they're not great shots. [MARTHA] Define lucky. [SWABB] No! More precision! Fire with more Argh! [DOCTOR] Roll with it, Martha! [MARTHA] Doctor? Doctor? Eek! [SWABB] Forget it. He's gone. But at least I can think of a good use foryou. [MARTHA] Oh, really? [SWABB] Yeah. [MARTHA] Look, you. Me and the Doctor, we're not here to cause you andOil Corp any trouble, right? We're on a mission. A dead important one.Got to collect these data chips, you see, stop this Baltazar guy fromstealing a big spaceship called the Infinite which will give him, well,infinite power I suppose, and that's a bad thing because he's not anice bloke, and Swabb? [SWABB] Yeah? [MARTHA] Behind you. [DOCTOR] Aye, aye. [DOCTOR] Oh, sorry. [MARTHA] Doctor! [KALIKO] Will the vile dog live? [MARTHA] Well, the sand seemed dead soft so it probably broke his fall. [SWABB [OC]] I'll get you for this! [MARTHA] Yep, he's okay. You need some help with that? [DOCTOR] Could you? Ouch, ow. [KALIKO] Doctor, you said you'd come here for me. What exactly did youmean by that? [DOCTOR] Ah. [KALIKO] Well? [DOCTOR] Your earring, Captain. Do you know what it is, really? [KALIKO] You're after the Infinite. You fool! Now, I was going to offeryou both a berth on my next ship, but seeing as how you had an ulteriormotive in rescuing me [KALIKO] There's only room for one in my lifeboat anyhow. [MARTHA] Looks like she came down somewhere near the Tardis. [DOCTOR] We have to catch up with her. If Baltazar gets that data chipand finds the Infinite [MARTHA] He gets his heart's desire. The destruction of you, me andEarth. --------------------------------------- (Boukon) [MARTHA] Look. [MARTHA] Surely the fall couldn't do that? [DOCTOR] No. She's been murdered. [DOCTOR] Live by the cutlass, die by the cutlass it seems. [MARTHA] Doctor. [DOCTOR] I'm so sorry, Kaliko. But we've got what we came for, Martha.Let's see where we're going next. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] Hang on, hang on. There could be anything out there. Snakeslike bendy busses, sabre toothed gorillas, anything. --------------------------------------- (Myarr) [MARTHA] Excellent. [DOCTOR] Right. That way is Main Street, so that is probably Downtown. [MARTHA] Where's the lights? [DOCTOR] Light? [MARTHA] City like this should be full of lights, especially at night. [MARTHA] Doctor, they're bugs! [DOCTOR] So I see. And they're about to swarm! [MARTHA] Doctor, the bugs. [DOCTOR] They're swarming all around us. [MEREGRASS] Go on, get out of it. [MEREGRASS] What's the matter with you two? [MARTHA] Doctor? [DOCTOR] I know. [MEREGRASS] And what are you staring at? [DOCTOR] Thank you for the timely arrival, Mister er? [MEREGRASS] Meregrass. Ulysses Meregrass. [DOCTOR] Good thing the bugs listen to you. [MEREGRASS] We have an understanding. [MARTHA] I noticed. [MEREGRASS] I'm here to provide their community, via their Queen, withprotection. [MARTHA] What's that? [MEREGRASS] What they need protecting from. [DOCTOR] Those are war planes. [MEREGRASS] What do you expect in a war zone. [DOCTOR + MARTHA] A war zone! [MEREGRASS] Sonic attack incoming. [DOCTOR] You know what? I think he's got the right idea. [DOCTOR] Martha. Martha, look out! --------------------------------------- (Weapons store) [DOCTOR] Pretty, isn't it? [MEREGRASS] If you like that sort of thing. [MEREGRASS] Careful. Don't touch what isn't yours yet. Breakages muststill be paid for. [MEREGRASS] Besides which, they won't activate until I give your Queenthis key coder to switch everything on. [DOCTOR] You all right? Turns out the towers are built from dung, notrock, but even so. [MARTHA] Yeah, I'm fine. --------------------------------------- (Queen's chamber) [MARTHA] It's beautiful. Really beautiful. [QUEEN] Well said, Martha Jones. [DOCTOR] Ah. Martha Jones, the Mantasphid Queen. The Mantasphid QueenMum, Martha Jones. [MARTHA] Your Majesty. [DOCTOR] Spot on. As I was saying, your Majesty, these alien attackers [MEREGRASS] I hope you're not putting a business proposition, Doctor.The bidding is over. I won. [QUEEN] Meregrass is correct, Doctor. We have our military advisoralready. We do not need another. [DOCTOR] Oh, military advisor, is it? Interesting euphemism for gunrunning. [MARTHA] Gun running? [DOCTOR] In the crates. [QUEEN] They've caught a pilot. Meregrass, they've caught a pilot! [DOCTOR] Stand well back. I want to see what it is you're fightingagainst. Oh, what are you? [QUEEN] Crush it and squash it! Get it away from me! [MARTHA] Wait, Doctor, it's [DOCTOR] Yeah, trying to kill me. I know. [MARTHA] No, it's panicking. Doctor, it's just frightened. [DOCTOR] Oh. Oh, oh, Martha, you are a marvel. Calm, calm, calm, calm.Shush, shush, shush. Hey, hey, hey, I'm not going to hurt you. [KELVIN] Thank you. Thank you so much. I. Training didn't prepare me, Ididn't. [DOCTOR] Hey, shush. It's all right, it's all right, it's all right.Calm down, you're fine now. [KELVIN] Sorry. My suit got damaged when I came down. No air left. Ithought I was going to die. I don't want to die. [MARTHA] Well, you didn't. [QUEEN] Fleshy biped. We must be protected from fleshy bipeds. Destroythem all! [MEREGRASS] You can destroy them, your Majesty, with the weapons you'vebought. [DOCTOR] What's your name, Pilot? [KELVIN] Pilot Kelvin, sir. [DOCTOR] Well, Pilot Kelvin, what's wrong with you? Picking a fight witha bunch of defenceless bugs? [KELVIN] Eh? We didn't start it. [QUEEN] Yes, they did. The fleshy bipeds have been trying toexterminate, wipe us out. [KELVIN] No, you don't understand. This is my er, this was my home,where I was born, brought up. We were here first! [DOCTOR] Is this true? [KELVIN] This used to be a lovely place. My parents had a homesteadhere. Then the bugs arrived and drove the people out. I only joined uponce my parents were killed. [DOCTOR] Killed? Why? Why did you attack? [QUEEN] So many lovely animals they had here. So much lovely dung. [MARTHA] You invaded this planet for dung? [KELVIN] It's one of the last fertile planets in the galaxy. If itfalls, there'll be a famine like you wouldn't believe. [MEREGRASS] Your Majesty, if I may. My job here is done. I have suppliedyou with means to destroy your enemies. Your contract stipulates finalpayment on delivery. [QUEEN] Oh, did it? Guess what, Meregrass. I lied! There will be nopayment. Mantasphids do not make deals with fleshy bipeds. [MEREGRASS] Typical Mantasphid. I should have listened to the others. [MARTHA] What others? [MEREGRASS] The other prisoners. There was a Mantasphid there, too, whotipped me off about this little war, so I decided to do the deal. [MARTHA] You were in prison? [MEREGRASS] Good grief no. I was a broker, a dealer. I could get lettersand gifts to the inmates, and in return [DOCTOR] You got well paid? [MEREGRASS] Mmm, of course. But the Governor always said that you couldnever trust a Mantasphid. [DOCTOR] The Governor of which prison was this? Volag-Noc, perhaps? [MARTHA] Volag-Noc. Isn't that where Baltazar was? [MEREGRASS] You know of Baltazar? [QUEEN] The fly ships, they're coming back. Bugs, defend us. They'lldestroy it all. [MEREGRASS] We're going to die here too unless we get out of here. [KELVIN] Forget it. You can't get far enough away. [MARTHA] Why not? [KELVIN] Because Earth Command can't afford to lose this planet. Yousee, they've evensacrificed me. [DOCTOR] Your Majesty, listen to me. There might still be a way. [QUEEN] Ah, Doctor, this is a fleshy biped thing, is it not? Never saydie [MARTHA] Yeah, exactly. [QUEEN] Fleshy bipeds are very stupid creatures, but the fight goes on.We'll win this war yet. [MARTHA] Pilot Kelvin, what will they do to the city? [KELVIN] Well, the plan was spatial disintegration of this hundred milevector. [DOCTOR] They're going to burn us out of space and time. [KELVIN] Kills all known bugs. Dead. [MARTHA] So we stand here while they vapourise us? [QUEEN] Meregrass, what do we do? [MEREGRASS] You're asking me? [QUEEN] You are my military advisor. You know tactics, you know weapons.Help us! [MEREGRASS] I'd have happily helped you when I thought I was gettingpaid, but without this the weapons are useless. And without my money,you get nothing. [QUEEN] Meregrass. Meregrass! [QUEEN] Come back! [DOCTOR] We need to keep track of Meregrass. He has the datachip we needto continue this treasure hunt. [QUEEN] It is decided. How do we surrender to the fleshy bipeds? [DOCTOR] Oh, at last. Pilot Kelvin, have you got a communicationssystem? [KELVIN] Inside my helmet, sir, but it was damaged when I crashed. [DOCTOR] Oh, we'll soon have that sorted. [QUEEN] Hurry, hurry. [QUEEN] We want to surrender. [KELVIN] Doctor, there's no protocol for negotiation with theMantasphids. [MARTHA] Then make one. [KELVIN] I can't! They invaded our homes, killed our families. [DOCTOR] They are also living, sentient beings that have a right toexist. Maybe not here, but somewhere. [CONTROL [OC]] Mantasphid Hive destruction commences in sixty seconds. [DOCTOR] Ooo, that's not good. [QUEEN] Please, Doctor. Hurry. [MARTHA] Doctor, listen, if the bugs can't surrender, surely we can,can't we? [DOCTOR] You are brilliant! Pilot, tell them to open up a visualchannel. [KELVIN] Control, this is Pilot Kelvin. Imperative you open a visuallink to this helmet's communication system now. Please respond. [CONTROL [OC]] Roger. [QUEEN] Hurry, Doctor! [DOCTOR] (Pirate) Ahoy there, ye Earth Command nobodies. You got DoctorVile, Pilot of the Constellations given you a big white flag. Fact is,me and me mad mucker Martha here [MARTHA] Arr. Arr. Arr. [DOCTOR] (sotto) No, no, don't, don't do that. (Pirate) We been rulingit over these insect raiders, held their Queen here hostage. But, wehave to admit, you got us beaten. Come on in and get us. We surrender!(transmission ends.) That should do it. [QUEEN] What have you done, Doctor? [DOCTOR] Taken the rap for you, Queenie. Ended your war. [MARTHA] They'll never believe it. [DOCTOR] Oh, you reckon? [CONTROL [OC]] All units, Hive destruction cancelled. Your priority nowis to apprehend male human codename Doctor Bile. [QUEEN] How can we thank you, Doctor? [DOCTOR] Easy. Work with the humans, not against them. Young Kelvin herecan make a great ambassador. [KELVIN] Me? [DOCTOR] Now, listen, your Majesty. The human's farms will need power.Light and heat are hard to come by in an oil-starved universe, right? [MARTHA] And you're naturally phosphorescent. [DOCTOR] Think you could make a deal? [MARTHA] And you get all the dung you could ever want. Brilliant! Sowhat's next? [DOCTOR] We skedaddle out of here before Kelvin's mates arrive. Goodluck, everyone. --------------------------------------- (Myarr) [MARTHA] What now, catch up with Meregrass and go? [DOCTOR] Oh, we've found him. [MARTHA] Oh no, no! [DOCTOR] Sudden dehydration. Take the datachip and let's go. [MARTHA] Wait. We can't just leave him. It's like Captain Kaliko allover again. [DOCTOR] Isn't it just. But Martha, we can't stay. We're criminals,remember? --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] Next datachip located. It's er, ah, it'ser, ooo. [MARTHA] Where? Is it bad? [DOCTOR] Are you wearing thermals? --------------------------------------- (Ice planet) [DOCTOR] Come on, you. [MARTHA] Brr. Where are we going? Where are we, full stop. [DOCTOR] Well, we've now met two people from the prison on Volag-Noc,right? [MARTHA] Right. But there's no prison here. [DOCTOR] You were saying? [MARTHA] Doctor! --------------------------------------- (Volag-Noc) [DOCTOR] I thought you'd never get here. [DOCTOR] We are visitors. Visitors, mind. [DOCTOR] Oi! [WARDER] This item is confiscated. [MARTHA] What? [WARDER] Scanning for malfeasance. No convictions. No confirmation ofcriminal activity. [MARTHA] Well obviously. [WARDER] Scanning. Three thousand and five outstanding convictions. [DOCTOR] Oh, that many? [WARDER] With six thousand more to be taken into consideration. [MARTHA] Doctor! [DOCTOR] It's an unfair cop. [WARDER] Prison cell eight four four seven. [MARTHA] Doctor! [WARDER] The Governor will see you now. [MARTHA] Oh, good. Great. I think. --------------------------------------- (Cell 8447) [DOCTOR] Oh, hello. You're clearly an android, and I'm your newcellmate. [DOCTOR] You all right? [LOK] It hurts. [DOCTOR] I'm the Doctor. Tell me the trouble. --------------------------------------- (Governor's office) [GURNEY] Interesting. [MARTHA] You're the Governor here? There's been a terrible mistake. [GURNEY] We don't make mistakes on Volag-Noc. Safe! [MARTHA] But my friend's been [GURNEY] Close. You were saying? [MARTHA] I [GURNEY] Ah yes, your friend. We're still collating charges, but he'sbeen a very naughty boy. Minor traffic violations, fourteen hundredthousand. Invading library fines, two hundred and fifty counts. [MARTHA] Come on, that's nothing serious. [GURNEY] Planetary demolition. [MARTHA] How many counts? [GURNEY] Seventeen. No, eighteen. [MARTHA] Ouch. [GURNEY] And all dating back three thousand years? [MARTHA] Well, I'm sure he had his reasons. [GURNEY] Maybe so, but these charges have been extracted from his ownbrain. He knows what he's guilty of. And they've earned him, let's seenow, two billion years in prison. [MARTHA] Two billion! [GURNEY] He really should have taken back those library books. Hang on,there's more. There's something here about a Doctor Vile, wanted forpiracy, as well as his accomplice. You. --------------------------------------- (Cell 8447) [DOCTOR] So then, anyway, Caw then said. Did I mention Caw before? Beak,metal, bird, eats gold for breakfast. Anyway, he told us that Baltazaris after the Infinite, the legendary starship that has the power tocreate your heart's desire. You might know Baltazar, nasty flea, usedto live in this place. Anyway, we're having to chase around, stoppinghere [LOK] Ow. [DOCTOR] Oh, sorry, sorry. Hang on. You've been inhibited. [LOK] I have? [DOCTOR] You couldn't commit a crime if you tried. [LOK] I could not? [DOCTOR] Then you shouldn't be here at all. Oh, I'm not having this. [LOK] Thank you. [DOCTOR] Right then, we'll have to dig our way out. Don't suppose youconcealed a teaspoon? I lost mine. [LOK] There is a more direct way. Now. --------------------------------------- (Governor's office) [MARTHA] What was that? [GURNEY] Warder, what's up with the lights? [WARDER] Power fluctuation detected, Governor. A cell has been openedfrom within. [GURNEY] Opened? Where? [WARDER] Cell eight four four seven. [GURNEY] That cell is off-limits! [MARTHA] Didn't your tin pet there put the Doctor in cell eight fourfour seven? [GURNEY] No. I gave explicit orders no one was to be put in with thegover [MARTHA] The Governor, were you going to say? I saw that datachip inyour safe. So if you're not the Governor, who are you? [GURNEY] Don't you get it? He's escaped. Your friend's let him out. [MARTHA] And we've only been here five minutes. Nice on, Doctor. [GURNEY] No. [MARTHA] What's doing that? [GURNEY] Lok. [DOCTOR] Hello, Martha Jones. You'll never guess who I'm with. [MARTHA] Mmm, the real Governor? [DOCTOR] Oh, you guessed. The thing is, if Lok here is the Governor, whoare you? [GURNEY] Warder. [GURNEY] Look what you've done, letting him out. [DOCTOR] Hang on, hang on. Hold this for a moment, will you? [GURNEY] But there's nothing on it. [DOCTOR] It's psychic. [DOCTOR] And it tells me you're Constantine Ethelred Gurney, prisoner.Ah ha! Convicted of larceny, blackmail, fraud, blah, blah, blah, blah,blah. Released. Released! [GURNEY] I did my time, I got let out, I broke back in. [MARTHA] That's new. Why? [GURNEY] Because of him, living here in luxury. He's an android, hedon't even need it, but me? There are people across the seven galaxieswho still want my head on a plate, putting my face on wanted posters.Wanted, dead or alive, open brackets preferably dead [DOCTOR] Close brackets. Yeah, I get the picture. [GURNEY] There was this guy I met, sold me a nifty little programme ofthe warders. They saw me as Lok, and Lok as me. [DOCTOR] This guy. Name of Meregrass by any chance? [GURNEY] You know him! Great guy. Anyway, I kept Lok safely locked upuntil you come along. [LOK] Free at last. Gurney. [DOCTOR] Not now, Mister Lok. We did a deal. [LOK] No deals. Creatures like Gurney are beyond redemption. Theirrehabilitation is pointless. Warder, all the prisoners in Volag-Noc arebeyond rehabilitation. They must die. [WARDER] Commencing self-sterilisation on your command. [MARTHA] You can't! [DOCTOR] Stop it. Stop it now. It's not their fault. [LOK] It is the only way to cure them. [GURNEY] Safe. [LOK] It's the only way. It's the only way. [MARTHA] Doctor, the prisoners. [DOCTOR] I'm on it. [DOCTOR] Argh. Gurney, how do we stop the killing? I need to use thatprogramme Meregrass sold you so that the warders won't take Lok'sorders any more. [GURNEY] No longer my problem, Doctor. I'm getting out of here. [MARTHA] The datachip! [DOCTOR] Gurney! [DOCTOR] Stop! [COMPUTER] Order terminated. [DOCTOR] Oh, yes. Skill. Now, where's me sonic screwdriver? [DOCTOR] Mind, you'll do yourself a damage. --------------------------------------- (Ice planet) [MARTHA] There's nowhere to run, Gurney. [GURNEY] I've got to get away from here. [MARTHA] Gurney? Gurney? [GURNEY] Greener than a seasick kitten, aren't you? Take me with you inyour ship. [MARTHA] I can't fly the Tardis. [GURNEY] Is that so? Then you're no use to me. No, it can't be. [MARTHA] What? [BALTAZAR] Revenge! Finally. [MARTHA] Baltazar. [BALTAZAR] The final datachip at last. [MARTHA] Gurney, no! [MARTHA] Caw! [BALTAZAR] Oh no you don't. [MARTHA] Caw? [CAW] Sorry, Miss Martha. Caw's been a dirty birdie. [MARTHA] So you were working with him all the time, weren't you. Yousent us on this hunt for the datachips on his orders. [CAW] I'm sorry. It's the gold, see. He promised me all the gold I couldeat. [MARTHA] Caw. [CAW] Gurney, he got me right in the fusion chamber. I'm done for now. [MARTHA] There must be something I can do. [DOCTOR] There's not. [MARTHA] Doctor. Doctor, listen, we have to help him. We have to dosomething. Please. [DOCTOR] Caw runs on gold fusion. Once his reactor's burned out, that'sit. [MARTHA] Caw? Caw! [BALTAZAR] Good afternoon, Doctor. We have some unfinished business. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [BALTAZAR] Get in. Turn around. Hand in the air. [DOCTOR] So how'd you find us? It's very tricky to track a Tardis. [BALTAZAR] I had insider information. Have you met Squawk? [MARTHA] My brooch! [DOCTOR] Oh, no. [BALTAZAR] This little accessory has helped me track you every step ofthe way. Fly away, birdie. [DOCTOR] An accessory to murder. [BALTAZAR] Surely that's you, Doctor. You needed a little bit of helpcollecting the datachips. I knew my poor old cellmates who told me allabout the Infinite would never willingly give you theirs. First therewas Kaliko, then there was Meregrass. Now he dried up very quickly. Andthat was Gurney's. Pick it up. [DOCTOR] This is why you needed me, isn't it. You knew only my Tardiscould track each datachip from planet to planet. [BALTAZAR] I knew only you would have something that could readdatachips older than recorded history itself. Off you go. [DOCTOR] The Hesperus galaxy. [BALTAZAR] Next. [DOCTOR] And that'll be the Caris system. [MARTHA] It's a map. [BALTAZAR] Telling us the location of the Infinite. Keep going. [DOCTOR] I spy asteroid seven five seven four B? Yeah, B. [BALTAZAR] Set your controls. We're going. [DOCTOR] This isn't a taxi! [BALTAZAR] Set the controls or Miss Martha gets skewered. [DOCTOR] Look, Baltazar, the Infinite, it's a myth, a legend. But evenif it does exist, even if it contains a fraction of the power everyoneclaims, it'll consume you. Destroy you. [BALTAZAR] No, it'll give me my heart's desire, Doctor. So set thecontrols! [BALTAZAR] That's the course laid in? [DOCTOR] Yes. [BALTAZAR] Then all you have to do is push the button. [DOCTOR] Well, more or less. [BALTAZAR] Then I don't need you any more, do I. [DOCTOR] Er, no. [MARTHA] No! Doctor! --------------------------------------- (Ice planet) [DOCTOR] Martha? No. No! Martha? Martha! --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [MARTHA] He'll be back. [BALTAZAR] He's a thousand light years away, alone in the cold. Youwon't be seeing him again for a while. Not before I get my heart'sdesire, anyway. --------------------------------------- (Asteroid 7574B) [MARTHA] She's huge. [BALTAZAR] The wreck of the Infinite, at last. She was smashed to bitscenturies back, flotsam spread out over half the galaxy. I found out onVolag-Noc that Kaliko, Meregrass and Gurney had all come by bits of thefight recorder. [MARTHA] Aw, and they wouldn't share them with you? [BALTAZAR] Not even with each other. [MARTHA] I guess X marks the spot. [BALTAZAR] In you go. You're looking for the hold. [MARTHA] The hold? Won't that be Eeek! [BALTAZAR] Down. Yep. --------------------------------------- (Infinite Hold) [MARTHA] Diagnosis, no bones broken. That's something. [MARTHA] Hello? [MARTHA] Hello? [DOCTOR] Hello. [MARTHA] Doctor! I knew it! I knew you'd be back. Wait a minute. How? [DOCTOR] Shush. --------------------------------------- (Asteroid 7574B) [BALTAZAR] Girl? Girlie? Martha? [DOCTOR] Watch out below! [BALTAZAR] What? [DOCTOR] Ahoy there. Meet Squawk. He's grown up now. [DOCTOR] Haven't got the hang of landing yet. [SQUAWK] Doctor? [BALTAZAR] Out for the count, squawk. And I thought I could rely on youat least. [SQUAWK] Doctor says you're a bad influence, like you were with me Dad. [BALTAZAR] And now I have exactly what you need. Gold. Lots and lots oflovely glittering gold. Keep you fed for years. [DOCTOR] Oi! [DOCTOR] What do I keep on telling you? Don't listen to the villains! [BALTAZAR] That hurt. [DOCTOR] Where is she? Where's Martha? --------------------------------------- (Infinite Hold) [MARTHA] But what about the treasure? [DOCTOR] Your heart's desire. [MARTHA] Of course. You're not the Doctor. My heart's desire, indeed. [DOCTOR] Excuse me, I think that's my friend you're scaring. [MARTHA] Hiya. Can you make him go away? [DOCTOR] That's up to you, I'm afraid. You conjured him up. [MARTHA] But how am I supposed to [DOCTOR 2] Heart's desire. [MARTHA] Oh, I don't believe I walked into this. [MARTHA] Gotcha! I said, I don't believe this. [MARTHA] Oh, yes! [DOCTOR] Oh, don't even try to find my heart's desire. [MARTHA] Hello you, proper you. [DOCTOR] Ah. Now then, aren't you going to ask me how I got here, andhear all about my adventures on Volag-Noc? How I bottle-fed Squawk withmy own gold and reprogrammed Lok to run a better prison? It's beenthree years, you know. [MARTHA] Three years? [DOCTOR] Well, two and three quarters. We gained a bit of that by flyingpast lightspeed, of course. [MARTHA] Lightspeed? How? [DOCTOR] I gave Squawk's engines a bit of pep, bit of zing. bit of [MARTHA] Va-va-voom? [DOCTOR] Yeah. [MARTHA] I knew you'd be back. So, this is the Infinite. [DOCTOR] Every pirate and freebooter and treasure hunter dreams of itand wants to find this. [MARTHA] Their heart's desire. What did it show you, by the way? [DOCTOR] Doesn't matter. Didn't work on me. Anyway, whatever power thisplace once had is fading away daily. The whole ship's only heldtogether by wishes and hopes. [MARTHA] There's nothing living here, is there. [DOCTOR] Not now. One of the great Old Ones was once. It died out here,alone and lost, screaming its rage and fury into the solitude until itsunique power dissipated. Just left a little fading echo, enough to giveus a glimpse of our heart's desire. [DOCTOR] Oh, no. [BALTAZAR] Gold. Diamonds. Treasure, Doctor, enough treasure to buy me anew ship. A whole fleet. And I can destroy you, Earth, Volag-Noc, andeverything in between. [DOCTOR] Oh, be scourge of the galaxy again, is that the best you canthink of? [MARTHA] It's not real. It's just an echo of the power [DOCTOR] He's not listening, Martha. The ship's so old and rusted, justheld together by wishful thinking. [MARTHA] Come on, Captain Useless. --------------------------------------- (Asteroid 7574B) [DOCTOR] Sorry, full up. There'll be another one along in a minute. [BALTAZAR] No, Doctor, you can't leave me here! --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [MARTHA] I know he was rotten to the core, butstill. [DOCTOR] Oh, I left him a way out. --------------------------------------- (Asteroid 7574B) [BALTAZAR] Squawk! --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] Of course, it'd only matter if I didn'tknow exactly where Squawk was going to drop him off. --------------------------------------- (Volag-Noc) [BALTAZAR] Curse you, Doctor. Curse you. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] Searching for your heart's desire, Martha,never been all it's cracked up to be. Now then, Martha Jones, anotherjob for you. [MARTHA] Oh yes? [DOCTOR] Yes. Start giving me some random numbers. [MARTHA] Oh, not again. [DOCTOR] Come on, it'll be fun. When do I ever let you down? Ha, ha, ha,ha!

Doctor Who (7 Apr, 2007; Tenth Doctor) - The Shakespeare Code [WIGGINS] (sings) Her face was like a winter's moon that lights thetraveller's way. Her smile was like a summer bloom that bursts thenfades away. My love is night, my love is day. My love she is my world. [LILITH] Such sweet music shows your blood to be afire. Why wait we onstale custom for consummation? [WIGGINS] Oh, yes. Tonight's the night. --------------------------------------- (Lilith's house) [LILITH] Would you enter, bold sir? [WIGGINS] Oh, I would. [WIGGINS] Lilith, this cannot be the home of one so beautiful. Forgiveme, this is foul. [LILITH] Shush. Sad words suit not upon a lover's tongue. [LILITH] Oh, your kiss transformed me. A suitor should meet hisbeloved's parents. Mother Doomfinger? [LILITH] And Mother Bloodtide. [LILITH] Soon, at the hour of woven words, we shall rise again, and thisfleeting Earth will perish!Bwahahahahahaha! --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [MARTHA] But how do you travel in time? What makes it go? [DOCTOR] Oh, let's take the fun and mystery out of everything. Martha,you don't want to know. It just does. Hold on tight. [MARTHA] Blimey. Do you have to pass a test to fly this thing? [DOCTOR] Yes, and I failed it. Now, make the most of it. I promised youone trip, and one trip only. Outside this door, brave new world. [MARTHA] Where are we? [DOCTOR] Take a look. After you. --------------------------------------- (Southwark) [MARTHA] Oh, you are kidding me. You are so kidding me. Oh, my God, wedid it. We travelled in time. Where are we? No, sorry. I got to getused to this whole new language. When are we? [DOCTOR] Mind out. [MAN] Gardez l'eau! [DOCTOR] Somewhere before the invention of the toilet. Sorry about that. [MARTHA] I've seen worse. I've worked the late night shift A+E. But arewe safe? I mean, can we move around and stuff? [DOCTOR] Of course we can. Why do you ask? [MARTHA] It's like in the films. You step on a butterfly, you change thefuture of the human race. [DOCTOR] Tell you what then, don't step on any butterflies. What havebutterflies ever done to you? [MARTHA] What if, I don't know, what if I kill my grandfather? [DOCTOR] Are you planning to? [MARTHA] No. [DOCTOR] Well, then. [MARTHA] And this is London? [DOCTOR] I think so. Round about 1599. [MARTHA] Oh, but hold on. Am I all right? I'm not going to get cartedoff as a slave, am I? [DOCTOR] Why would they do that? [MARTHA] Not exactly white, in case you haven't noticed. [DOCTOR] I'm not even human. Just walk about like you own the place.Works for me. Besides, you'd be surprised. Elizabethan England, not sodifferent from your time. Look over there. They've got recycling. [DOCTOR] Water cooler moment. [PREACHER] And the world will be consumed by flame. [DOCTOR] Global warming. Oh, yes, and entertainment. Popularentertainment for the masses. If I'm right, we're just down the riverby Southwark, right next to [DOCTOR] Oh, yes, the Globe Theatre! Brand new. Just opened. Through,strictly speaking, it's not a globe, it's a tetradecagon. Fourteensides. Containing the man himself. [MARTHA] Whoa, you don't mean. Is Shakespeare in there? [DOCTOR] Oh, yes. Miss Jones, will you accompany me to the theatre? [MARTHA] Mister Smith, I will. [DOCTOR] When you get home, you can tell everyone you've seenShakespeare. [MARTHA] Then I could get sectioned. --------------------------------------- (Globe Theatre) [MARTHA] That's amazing! Just amazing. It's worth putting up with thesmell. And those are men dressed as women, yeah? [DOCTOR] London never changes. [MARTHA] Where's Shakespeare? I want to see Shakespeare. Author! Author!Do people shout that? Do they shout Author? [MAN] Author! Author! [DOCTOR] Well, they do now. [MARTHA] He's a bit different from his portraits. [DOCTOR] Genius. He's a genius. The genius. The most human human there'sever been. Now we'regoing to hear him speak. Always he chooses the best words. New,beautiful, brilliant words. [SHAKESPEARE] Ah, shut your big fat mouths! [DOCTOR] Oh, well. [MARTHA] You should never meet your heroes. [SHAKESPEARE] You've got excellent taste, I'll give you that. Oh, that'sa wig. [LILITH] Wind the craft of ancient harm. The time approaches for ourcharm. [SHAKESPEARE] I know what you're all saying. Loves Labour's Lost, that'sa funny ending, isn't it? It just stops. Will the boys get the girls?Well, don't get your hose in a tangle, you'll find out soon. Yeah,yeah. All in good time. You don't rush a genius. [SHAKESPEARE] When? Tomorrow night. The premiere of my brand new play. Asequel, no less, and I call it Loves Labour's Won. [MARTHA] I'm not an expert, but I've never heard of Loves Labour's Won. [DOCTOR] Exactly. The lost play. It doesn't exist, only in rumours. It'smentioned in lists of his plays but never ever turns up. And no oneknows why. [MARTHA] Have you got a mini-disc or something? We can tape it. We canflog it. Sell it when we get home and make a mint. [DOCTOR] No. [MARTHA] That would be bad. [DOCTOR] Yeah, yeah. [MARTHA] Well, how come it disappeared in the first place? [DOCTOR] Well, I was just going to give you a quick little trip in theTardis, but I suppose we could stay a bit longer. --------------------------------------- (Shakespeare's room) [DOLLY] Here you go, Will. Drink up. There's enough beer in thislodgings house to sink the Spanish. [SHAKESPEARE] Dolly Bailey, you've saved my life. [DOLLY] I'll do more than that later tonight. And you, girl, hurry upwith your tasks. The talk of gentlemen is best not overheard. [LILITH] Yes, ma'am. Sorry, ma'am. [BURBAGE] You must be mad, Will. Loves Labour's Won? I mean, we're notready. It's supposed to be next week. What made you say that? [KEMPE] You haven't even finished it yet. [SHAKESPEARE] I've just got the final scene to go. You'll get it bymorning. [DOCTOR] Hello! Excuse me, not interrupting, am I? Mister Shakespeare,isn't it? [SHAKESPEARE] nan [SHAKESPEARE] Hey, nonny nonny. Sit right down here next to me. You twoget sewing on them costumes. Off you go. [DOLLY] Come on, lads. I think our William's found his new muse. [SHAKESPEARE] Sweet lady. [SHAKESPEARE] Such unusual clothes. So fitted. [MARTHA] Er, verily, forsooth, egads. [DOCTOR] No, no, don't do that. Don't. [DOCTOR] I'm Sir Doctor of Tardis and this is my companion, Miss MarthaJones. [SHAKESPEARE] Interesting, that bit of paper. It's blank. [DOCTOR] Oh, that's very clever. That proves it. Absolute genius. [MARTHA] No, it says so right there. Sir Doctor, Martha Jones. It saysso. [SHAKESPEARE] And I say it's blank. [DOCTOR] Psychic paper. Er, long story. Oh, I hate starting fromscratch. [SHAKESPEARE] Psychic? Never heard that before and words are my trade.Who are you exactly? More's the point, who is your delicious blackamoorlady? [MARTHA] What did you say? [SHAKESPEARE] Oops. Isn't that a word we use nowadays? An Ethiop girl? Aswarth? A Queen of Afric? [MARTHA] I can't believe I'm hearing this. [DOCTOR] It's political correctness gone mad. Er, Martha's from afar-off land. Freedonia. [LYNLEY] Excuse me! Hold hard a moment. This is abominable behaviour. Anew play with no warning? I demand to see a script, Mister Shakespeare.As Master of the Revels, every new script must be registered at myoffice and examined by me before it can be performed. [SHAKESPEARE] Tomorrow morning, first thing, I'll send it round. [LYNLEY] I don't work to your schedule, you work to mine. The script,now! [SHAKESPEARE] I can't. [LYNLEY] Then tomorrow's performance is cancelled. [MARTHA] It's all go around here, isn't it? [LYNLEY] I'm returning to my office for a banning order. If it's thelast thing I do, Love's Labours Won will never be played. --------------------------------------- (The Elephant courtyard) [LILITH] Oh, sorry, sir. Begging your pardon, sir.Mind you don't hurt that handsome head of yours. [LYNLEY] Hold hard, wanton woman! (sotto) I shall return later. --------------------------------------- (The Elephant) [LILITH] Oh, my mothers, there's one seeks to stop the performancetomorrow. --------------------------------------- (Lilith's house) [DOOMFINGER] But it must be tomorrow! [BLOODTIDE] Love's Labours Won must be performed. --------------------------------------- (The Elephant) [LILITH] Fear not. Chant with me. Water damps the fiercest flame. --------------------------------------- (Lilith's house) [MOTHERS] Drowns down girls and boys the same. --------------------------------------- (Shakespeare's room) [MARTHA] Well then, mystery solved. That's Love'sLabours Won over and done with. Thought it might be something more, youknow, more mysterious. [WOMAN [OC]] Help me! --------------------------------------- (The Elephant courtyard) [MARTHA] It's that Lynley bloke. [DOCTOR] What's wrong with him? Leave it to me. I'm a doctor. [MARTHA] So am I, near enough. --------------------------------------- (Lilith's house) [MOTHERS] Now to halt the vital part. Stab the flesh --------------------------------------- (The Elephant) [LILITH] And stop the heart. [LILITH] Eternal sleep is thine. --------------------------------------- (The Elephant courtyard) [MARTHA] Got to get the heart going. Mister Lynley, come on. Can youhear me? You'regoing to be all right. [MARTHA] What the hell is that? [DOCTOR] I've never seen a death like it. His lungs are full of water.He drowned and then, Idon't know, like a blow to the heart, an invisible blow. [DOCTOR] Good mistress, this poor fellow has died from a suddenimbalance of the humours. A natural if unfortunate demise. Call aconstable and have him taken away. [DOLLY] Yes, sir. [LILITH] I'll do it, ma'am. [MARTHA] And why are you telling them that? [DOCTOR] This lot still have got one foot in the Dark Ages. If I tellthem the truth, they'll panic and think it was witchcraft. [MARTHA] Okay, what was it then? [DOCTOR] Witchcraft. --------------------------------------- (Lilith's house) [DOOMFINGER] The potion is prepared. Now take it. Magic words for theplaywright's fevered mind. [BLOODTIDE] Shakespeare will release us. The mind of a genius willunlock the tide of blood. [LILITH] Upon this night, the work is done. A muse to pen Love Labour'sWon. --------------------------------------- (Shakespeare's room) [DOLLY] I got you a room, Sir Doctor. You and Miss Jones are just acrossthe landing. [SHAKESPEARE] Poor Lynley. So many strange events. Not least of all,this land of Freedonia where a woman can be a doctor? [MARTHA] Where a woman can do what she likes. [SHAKESPEARE] And you, Sir Doctor. How can a man so young have eyes soold? [DOCTOR] I do a lot of reading. [SHAKESPEARE] A trite reply. Yeah, that's what I'd do. And you? You lookat him like you're surprised he exists. He's as much of a puzzle to youas he is to me. [MARTHA] I think we should say goodnight. [SHAKESPEARE] I must work. I have a play to complete. But I'll get myanswers tomorrow, Doctor, and I'll discover more about you and why thisconstant performance of yours. [DOCTOR] All the world's a stage. [SHAKESPEARE] Hmm. I might use that. Goodnight, Doctor. [DOCTOR] Nighty night, Shakespeare. --------------------------------------- (Doctor and Martha's room) [MARTHA] It's not exactly five star, is it? [DOCTOR] Oh, it'll do. I've seen worse. [MARTHA] I haven't even got a toothbrush. [DOCTOR] Oh. Er. [DOCTOR] Contains Venusian spearmint. [MARTHA] So, who's going where? I mean, there's only one bed. [DOCTOR] We'll manage. Come on. [MARTHA] So, magic and stuff. That's a surprise. It's all a little bitHarry Potter. [DOCTOR] Wait till you read book seven. (published 2007) Oh, I cried. [MARTHA] But is it real, though? I mean, witches, black magic and allthat, it's real? [DOCTOR] Course it isn't! [MARTHA] Well, how am I supposed to know? I've only just startedbelieving in time travel. Give me a break. [DOCTOR] Looks like witchcraft, but it isn't. Can't be. Are you going tostand there all night? [MARTHA] Budge up a bit, then. Sorry, there's not much room. Us twohere, same bed. Tongues will wag. [DOCTOR] There's such a thing as psychic energy, but a human couldn'tchannel it like that. Not without a generator the size of Taunton and Ithink we'd have spotted that. No, there's something I'm missing,Martha. Something really close, staring me right in the face and Ican't see it. Rose'd know. A friend of mine, Rose. Right now, she'd sayexactly the right thing. Still, can't be helped. You're a novice, nevermind. I'll take you back home tomorrow. [MARTHA] Great. --------------------------------------- (Shakespeare's room) [LILITH] Bind the mind and take the man. Speed the words to writer'shand. [DOLLY [OC]] Will? [DOLLY] Finished cleaning just in time for your special treat. Oh, aye.I'm not the first, then. [LILITH] I'll take that to aid my flight and you shall speak no morethis night. [SHAKESPEARE] What? What was that? [DOCTOR] Her heart gave out. She died of fright. [MARTHA] Doctor? [DOCTOR] What did you see? [MARTHA] A witch. [SHAKESPEARE] Oh, sweet Dolly Bailey. She sat out three bouts of theplague in this place when we all ran like rats. But what could havescared her so? She had such enormous spirit. [DOCTOR] Rage, rage against the dying of the light. [SHAKESPEARE] I might use that. [DOCTOR] You can't. It's someone else's. [MARTHA] But the thing is, Lynley drowned on dry land, Dolly died offright, and they were both connected to you. [SHAKESPEARE] You're accusing me? [MARTHA] No, but I saw a witch, big as you like, flying, cackling away,and you've written about witches. [SHAKESPEARE] I have? When was that? [DOCTOR] Not, not quite yet. [SHAKESPEARE] Peter Streete spoke of witches. [MARTHA] Who's Peter Streete? [SHAKESPEARE] Our builder. He sketched the plans to the Globe. [DOCTOR] The architect. Hold on. The architect! The architect! TheGlobe! Come on! --------------------------------------- (Globe stage) [DOCTOR] The columns there, right? Fourteen sides.I've always wondered, but I never asked. Tell me, Will. Why fourteensides? [SHAKESPEARE] It was the shape Peter Streete thought best, that's all.Said it carried the sound well. [DOCTOR] Fourteen. Why does that ring a bell? Fourteen. [MARTHA] There's fourteen lines in a sonnet. [DOCTOR] So there is. Good point. Words and shapes following the samedesign. Fourteen lines, fourteen sides, fourteen facets. Oh, my head.Tetradecagon. Think, think, think! Words, letters, numbers, lines! [SHAKESPEARE] This is just a theatre. [DOCTOR] Oh yeah, but a theatre's magic, isn't it? You should know.Stand on this stage, say the right words with the right emphasis a theright time. Oh, you can make men weep, or cry with joy. Change them.You can change people's minds just with words in this place. But if youexaggerate that. [MARTHA] It's like your police box. Small wooden box with all that powerinside. [DOCTOR] Oh. Oh, Martha Jones, I like you. Tell you what, though. PeterStreete would know. Can I talk to him? [SHAKESPEARE] You won't get an answer. A month after finishing thisplace, lost his mind. [MARTHA] Why? What happened? [SHAKESPEARE] Started raving about witches, hearing voices, babbling.His mind was addled. [DOCTOR] Where is he now? [SHAKESPEARE] Bedlam. [MARTHA] What's Bedlam? [SHAKESPEARE] Bethlem Hospital. The madhouse. [DOCTOR] We're going to go there. Right now. Come on. [SHAKESPEARE] Wait! I'm coming with you. I want to witness this at firsthand. [SHAKESPEARE] Ralph, the last scene as promised. Copy it, hand it round,learn it, speak it. Back before curtain up. And remember, kid, project.Eyes and teeth. You never know, the Queen might turn up. As if. Shenever does. --------------------------------------- (Southwark) [SHAKESPEARE] So, tell me of Freedonia, where womencan be doctors, writers, actors. [MARTHA] This country's ruled by a woman. [SHAKESPEARE] Ah, she's royal. That's God's business. Though you are aroyal beauty. [MARTHA] Whoa, Nelly. I know for a fact you've got a wife in thecountry. [SHAKESPEARE] But Martha, this is Town. [DOCTOR] Come on. We can all have a good flirt later. [SHAKESPEARE] Is that a promise, Doctor? [DOCTOR] Oh, fifty seven academics just punched the air. Now move! --------------------------------------- (Globe stage) [BURBAGE] Loves Labour's Won. I don't think much ofsequels. They're never as good as the original. [KEMPE] Have you seen this last bit? He must have been dozing off whenhe wrote that. I don't even know what it means. [BURBAGE] Yeah? Well, that goes for most of his stuff. Ah, but at leastit's my speech. Ah ha! I get centre stage. (reads) The light ofShadmock's hollow moon doth shine onto a point in space betwixtDravidian shores [KEMPE] What was that? [BURBAGE] Dravidian shores linear five nine three oh one six --------------------------------------- (Lilith's house) [DOOMFINGER] A spirit stirs the ether. But too soon.Too soon. [LILITH] Not to fear, my mothers. It is merely a rehearsal of what's tocome. --------------------------------------- (Globe stage) [BURBAGE] and strikes the fulsome grove of RexelFour. [KEMPE] By all the saints, it's a spirit. It's a vile shade. [KEMPE] I think we should never speak of this again, else we'll end upin Bedlam ourselves. --------------------------------------- (Bethlehem Hospital) [KEEPER] Does my Lord Doctor wish some entertainment while he waits? I'dwhip these madmen. They'll put on a good show foryou. Mad dog in Bedlam. [DOCTOR] No, I don't! [KEEPER] Well, wait here, my lords, while I make him decent for thelady. [MARTHA] So this is what you call a hospital, yeah? Where the patientsare whipped to entertain the gentry? And you put your friend in here? [SHAKESPEARE] Oh, it's all so different in Freedonia. [MARTHA] But you're clever. Do you honestly think this place is anygood? [SHAKESPEARE] I've been mad. I've lost my mind. Fear of this place setme right again. It serves its purpose. [MARTHA] Mad in what way? [DOCTOR] You lost your son. [SHAKESPEARE] My only boy. The Black Death took him. I wasn't eventhere. [MARTHA] I didn't know. I'm sorry. [SHAKESPEARE] It made me question everything. The futility of thisfleeting existence. To be or not to be. Oh, that's quite good. [DOCTOR] You should write that down. [SHAKESPEARE] Maybe not. A bit pretentious? [KEEPER [OC]] This way, my lord! --------------------------------------- (Streete's cell) [KEEPER] They can be dangerous, my lord. Don't know their own strength. [DOCTOR] I think it helps if you don't whip them. Now get out! [DOCTOR] Peter? Peter Streete? [SHAKESPEARE] He's the same as he was. You'll get nothing out of him. [DOCTOR] Peter? --------------------------------------- (Lilith's house) [LILITH] What is this? I must see. [LILITH] That stranger. He was at the inn with Shakespeare. I thoughtthen he smelt of something new. [BLOODTIDE] Now he visits the madhouse. The architect. --------------------------------------- (Streete's cell) [DOCTOR] Peter, I'm the Doctor. Go into the past. One year ago. Let yourmind go back. Back to when everything was fine and shining. Everythingthat happened in this year since happened to somebody else. It was justa story. A Winter's Tale. Let go. That's it. That's it, just let go. [DOCTOR] Tell me the story, Peter. Tell me about the witches. --------------------------------------- (Lilith's house) [LILITH] Who is this Doctor? Why does he come now atour time of glory? Doomfinger, transport yourself. Doom the Doctor.Doom his hide. --------------------------------------- (Streete's cell) [STREETE] Witches spoke to Peter. In the night, theywhispered. They whispered. Got Peter to build the Globe to theirdesign. Their design! The fourteen walls. Always fourteen. When thework was done they snapped poor Peter's wits. [DOCTOR] Where did Peter see the witches? Where in the city? Peter, tellme. You've got to tell me where were they? [STREETE] All Hallows Street. [DOOMFINGER] Too many words. [MARTHA] What the hell? [DOOMFINGER] Just one touch of the heart. [DOCTOR] No! [SHAKESPEARE] Witch! I'm seeing a witch! [DOOMFINGER] Now, who would be next, hmm? Just one touch. Oh, oh, I'llstop your frantic hearts. Poor, fragile mortals. [MARTHA] Let us out! Let us out! [DOCTOR] That's not going to work. The whole building's shouting that. [DOOMFINGER] Who will die first, hmm? [DOCTOR] Well, if you're looking for volunteers. [MARTHA] No! Don't! [SHAKESPEARE] Doctor, can you stop her? [DOOMFINGER] No mortal has power over me. [DOCTOR] Oh, but there's a power in words. If I can find the right one.If I can just know you. [DOOMFINGER] None on Earth has knowledge of us. [DOCTOR] nan --------------------------------------- (Lilith's house) [DOCTOR [in cauldron]] The fourteen stars of theRexel planetary configuration! --------------------------------------- (Streete's cell) [DOCTOR] Creature, I name you Carrionite! [MARTHA] What did you do? [DOCTOR] I named her. The power of a name. That's old magic. [MARTHA] But there's no such thing as magic. [DOCTOR] Well, it's just a different sort of science. You lot, you chosemathematics. Given the right string of numbers, the right equation, youcan split the atom. Carrionites use words instead. [SHAKESPEARE] Use them for what? [DOCTOR] The end of the world. --------------------------------------- (Lilith's house) [DOOMFINGER] He knows us. He spoke our name. [LILITH] Then he will know death. He will perish at my hand. My mothers,the time approaches. You must away to the Globe. Go. I will join you assoon as this Doctor screams his last. --------------------------------------- (Shakespeare's room) [DOCTOR] The Carrionites disappeared way back at thedawn of the universe. Nobody was sure if they were real or legend. [SHAKESPEARE] Well, I'm going for real. [MARTHA] But what do they want? [DOCTOR] A new empire on Earth. A world of bones and blood andwitchcraft. [MARTHA] But how? [DOCTOR] I'm looking at the man with the words. [SHAKESPEARE] Me? But I've done nothing. [MARTHA] Hold on, though. What were you doing last night, when thatCarrionite was in the room? [SHAKESPEARE] Finishing the play. [DOCTOR] What happens on the last page? [SHAKESPEARE] The boys get the girls. They have a bit of a dance. It'sall as funny and thought provoking as usual. Except those last fewlines. Funny thing is, I don't actually remember writing them. [DOCTOR] That's it. They used you. They gave you the final words like aspell, like a code. Love's Labours Won. It's a weapon. The rightcombination of words, spoken at the right place, with the shape of theGlobe as an energy converter! The play's the thing! (Hamlet) And yes,you can have that. --------------------------------------- (Globe stage) [BURBAGE] We left the lovers of Navarre by cruel chance separated, noneto claim his heart, theirlabours lost. Now will they find Love's Labour's Won? --------------------------------------- (Shakespeare's room) [DOCTOR] All Hallows Street. There it is. Martha, we'll track them down.Will, you get to the Globe. Whatever you do, stop that play. [SHAKESPEARE] I'll do it. All these years I've been the cleverest manaround. Next to you, I know nothing. [MARTHA] Oh, don't complain. [SHAKESPEARE] I'm not. It's marvellous. Good luck, Doctor. [DOCTOR] Good luck, Shakespeare. Once more unto the breach. [SHAKESPEARE] I like that. Wait a minute, that's one of mine. [DOCTOR] (pokes his head around door) Oh, just shift! --------------------------------------- (Globe Theatre) [BURBAGE] The eye should have contentment where it rests. This spun outyear I watch on, groaning sick [BLOODTIDE] Patience, my sisters. Patience. [BURBAGE] Mewling poor drooped men in stenched beds [SHAKESPEARE] Stop the play! I'm sorry, ladies and gentlemen, but stop.This performance must end immediately. [BURBAGE] Oh, everyone's a critic. [BLOODTIDE] The wordsmith. [DOOMFINGER] Fear not. I have the doll. [SHAKESPEARE] I'm sorry. You'll get a refund. But this play must not beperformed. [KEMPE] Is he drunk or what? [BURBAGE] Get him off the stage. [KEMPE] You must forgive our irksome Will. He's been on the beer andfeeling ill. [DOOMFINGER] There is naught can stop us now. --------------------------------------- (All Hallows Street) [DOCTOR] All Hallows Street, but which house? [MARTHA] The thing is, though am I missing something here? The worlddidn't end in 1599. It just didn't. Look at me. I'm living proof. [DOCTOR] Oh, how to explain the mechanics of the infinite temporal flux?I know. Back to the Future. It's like Back to the Future. [MARTHA] The film? [DOCTOR] No, the novelisation. Yes, the film. Marty McFly goes back andchanges history. [MARTHA] And he starts fading away. Oh my God, am I going to fade? [DOCTOR] You and the entire future of the human race. It ends right nowin 1599 if we don't stop it. But which house? [DOCTOR] Ah. Make that witch house. --------------------------------------- (Lilith's house) [DOCTOR] I take it we're expected. [LILITH] Oh, I think Death has been waiting for you a very long time. [MARTHA] Right then, it's my turn. I know how to do this. I name theeCarrionite! What did I do wrong? Was it the finger? [LILITH] The power of a name works only once. Observe. I gaze upon thisbag of bones and now I name thee Martha Jones. [DOCTOR] What have you done? [LILITH] Only sleeping, alas. It's curious. The name has less impact.She's somehow out of her time. And as for you, Sir Doctor. Fascinating.There is no name. Why would a man hide his title in such despair? Oh,but look. There's still one word with the power that aches. [DOCTOR] The naming won't work on me. [LILITH] But your heart grows cold. The north wind blows and carriesdown the distant Rose. [DOCTOR] Oh, big mistake. Because that name keeps me fighting. TheCarrionites vanished. Where did you go? [LILITH] The Eternals found the right word to banish us into deepdarkness. [DOCTOR] And how did you escape? [LILITH] New words. New and glittering, from a mind like no other. [DOCTOR] Shakespeare. [LILITH] His son perished. The grief of a genius. Grief without measure.Madness enough to allow us entrance. [DOCTOR] How many of you? [LILITH] Just the three. But the play tonight shall restore the rest.Then the human race will be purged as pestilence. And from this worldwe will lead the universe back into the old ways of blood and magic. [DOCTOR] Hmm. Busy schedule. But first you've got to get past me. [LILITH] Oh, that should be a pleasure, considering my enemy has such ahandsome shape. [DOCTOR] Now, that's one form of magic that's definitely not going towork on me. [LILITH] Oh, we'll see. [DOCTOR] What did you do? [LILITH] Souvenir. [DOCTOR] Well, give it back. [DOCTOR] Well, that's just cheating. [LILITH] Behold, Doctor. Men to Carrionites are nothing but puppets. [DOCTOR] Now, you might call that magic. I'd call that a DNA replicationmodule. [LILITH] What use is your science now? [MARTHA] Oh my God, Doctor. Don't worry, I've got you. Hold on, mister.Two hearts? [DOCTOR] You're making a habit of this. Ah! I've only got one heartworking. How do you people cope? I've got to get the other one started.Hit me! Hit me on the chest! Dah! Other side. Now, on the back, on theback. Left a bit. Dah, lovely. There we go.Badda booma! Well, what are you standing there for? Come one! TheGlobe! --------------------------------------- (Globe Theatre) [DOOMFINGER] The Doctor? [LILITH] Dead. [BURBAGE] The ladies have prepared a show. Maria means to present Isisdescending from the dewy orb of Heaven. Ah, here comes Costard. [KEMPE] Masters! --------------------------------------- (Streets) [MARTHA] We're going the wrong way! [DOCTOR] No, we're not! We're going the wrong way! --------------------------------------- (Globe Theatre) [BURBAGE] Behold the swainish sight of woman's love.Pish! It's out of season to be heavy disposed. [LILITH] It is now, my mothers. The final words to activate thetetradecagon. [BURBAGE] Betwixt Dravidian shores and linear five nine three oh one sixseven point oh two, and strikes the fulsome grove of Rexel Four.Co-radiating crystal, activate! [LILITH] The portal opens. It begins! --------------------------------------- (Southwark) [PREACHER] I told thee so! I told thee! [DOCTOR] Stage door! --------------------------------------- (Backstage) [DOCTOR] Stop the play. I think that was it. Yeah, I said, stop theplay! [SHAKESPEARE] I hit my head. [DOCTOR] Yeah, don't rub it, you'll go bald. I think that's my cue! [CARRIONITES] Now begins the millennium of blood! --------------------------------------- (Globe Theatre) [LILITH] The Doctor. He lives. Then watch this world become a blastedheath! (Macbeth) They come. They come! [DOCTOR] Come on, Will! History needs you! [SHAKESPEARE] But what can I do? [DOCTOR] Reverse it! [SHAKESPEARE] How am I supposed to do that? [DOCTOR] The shape of the Globe gives words power, but you're thewordsmith, the one true genius. The only man clever enough to do it. [SHAKESPEARE] But what words? I have none ready! [DOCTOR] You're William Shakespeare! [SHAKESPEARE] But these Carrionite phrases, the need such precision. [DOCTOR] Trust yourself. When you're locked away in your room, the wordsjust come, don't they, like magic. Words of the right sound, the rightshape, the right rhythm. Words that last forever. That's what you do,Will. You choose perfect words. Do it. Improvise. [SHAKESPEARE] Close up this din of hateful, dire decay, decomposition ofyour witches' plot. You thieve my brains, consider me your toy. Mydoting Doctor tells me I am not! [LILITH] No! Words of power! [SHAKESPEARE] Foul Carrionite spectres, cease your show! Between thepoints [DOCTOR] Seven six one three nine oh! [SHAKESPEARE] Seven six one three nine oh! Banished like a tinker'scuss, I say to thee [MARTHA] Expelliarmus! [DOCTOR] Expelliarmus! [SHAKESPEARE] Expelliarmus! [DOCTOR] Good old JK! [LILITH] The deep darkness! They are consumed! [DOCTOR] Love's Labours Won. There it goes. [MARTHA] They think it was all special effects? [SHAKESPEARE] Your effect is special indeed. [MARTHA] It's not your best line. [SHAKESPEARE] And I say, a heart for a hart and a dear for a deer. [MARTHA] I don't get it. [SHAKESPEARE] Then give me a joke from Freedonia. [MARTHA] Okay, Shakespeare walks into a pub and the landlord says, Oimate, you're Bard. [SHAKESPEARE] That's brilliant. Doesn't make sense, mind you, but nevermind that. Now come here. [MARTHA] I've only just met you. [SHAKESPEARE] The Doctor may never kiss you. Why not entertain a man whowill? [MARTHA] I don't know how to tell you this, oh great genius, but yourbreath doesn't half stink. [DOCTOR] Good props store back there. I'm not sure about this though.Reminds me of a Sycorax. [SHAKESPEARE] Sycorax. Nice word. I'll have that off you as well. [DOCTOR] I should be on ten percent. How's your head? [SHAKESPEARE] Still aching. [DOCTOR] Here, I got you this. [DOCTOR] Neck brace. Wear that for a few days till it's better, althoughyou mightwant to keep it. It suits you. [MARTHA] What about the play? [DOCTOR] Gone. I looked all over. Every single copy of Love's LaboursWon went up in the sky. [SHAKESPEARE] My lost masterpiece. [MARTHA] You could write it up again. [DOCTOR] Yeah, better not, Will. There's still power in those words.Maybe it should best stay forgotten. [SHAKESPEARE] Oh, but I've got new ideas. Perhaps it's time I wroteabout fathers and sons, in memory of my boy, my precious Hamnet. [MARTHA] Hamnet? [SHAKESPEARE] That's him. [MARTHA] Hamnet? [SHAKESPEARE] What's wrong with that? [DOCTOR] Anyway, time we were off. I've got a nice attic in the Tardiswhere this lot can scream for all eternity, and I'vegot to take Martha back to Freedonia. [SHAKESPEARE] You mean travel on through time and space. [DOCTOR] You what? [SHAKESPEARE] You're from another world like the Carrionites, and Marthais from the future. It's not hard to work out. [DOCTOR] That's incredible. You are incredible. [SHAKESPEARE] We're alike in many ways, Doctor. Martha, let me saygoodbye to you in a new verse. A sonnet for my Dark Lady. Shall Icompare thee to a summer's day? Thou art more lovely and moretemperate. [BURBAGE] Will! [KEMPE] Will, you'll never believe it. She's here! She's turned up! [BURBAGE] We're the talk of the town. She heard about last night. Shewants us to perform it again. [MARTHA] Who? [BURBAGE] Her Majesty. She's here. [DOCTOR] Queen Elizabeth the First! [ELIZABETH] Doctor? [DOCTOR] What? [ELIZABETH] My sworn enemy. [DOCTOR] What? [ELIZABETH] Off with his head! [DOCTOR] What? [MARTHA] Never mind what, just run! See you, Will, and thanks. [ELIZABETH] Stop that pernicious Doctor. --------------------------------------- (Southwark) [PIKEMAN] Stop in the name of the Queen! [MARTHA] What have you done to upset her? [DOCTOR] How should I know? Haven't even met her yet. That's time travelfor you. Still, can't wait to find out. [DOCTOR] That's something to look forward to. Ooo!

That's the view we had last time. Thismust be the lower levels, down in the base of the tower. Some sort ofunder-city. [MARTHA] You've brought me to the slums? [DOCTOR] Much more interesting. It's all cocktails and glitter up there.This is the real city. [MARTHA] You'd enjoy anything. [DOCTOR] That's me. Ah, the rain's stopping. Better and better. [MARTHA] When you say last time, was that you and Rose? [DOCTOR] Er, yeah. Yeah, it was, yeah. [MARTHA] You're taking me to the same planets that you took her? [DOCTOR] What's wrong with that? [MARTHA] Nothing. Just ever heard the word rebound? [PHARMACIST 1] Oh! You should have said. How long you been there? Happy.You want Happy. [PHARMACIST 2] Customers. Customers! We've got customers!

Makes you feel all bendy and soft allday long. [PHARMACIST 1] Don't go to them. They'll rip you off. Do you want somehappy? [DOCTOR] No, thanks. [MARTHA] Are they selling drugs? [DOCTOR] I think they're selling moods. [MARTHA] Same thing, isn't it? [PHARMACIST 3] Over here, sweetheart! That's it, come on, I'll get youfirst! [PHARMACIST 1] Oi! Oi, you! Over here! Over here! Buy some Happy! [PHARMACIST 3] Come over here, yeah. And what can I get you, my love? [WOMAN] I want to buy Forget. [PHARMACIST 3] I've got Forget, my darling. What strength? How much doyou want forgetting? [WOMAN] It's my mother and father. They went on the motorway. [PHARMACIST 3] Oh, that's a swine. Try this. Forget Forty three. That'stwo credits. [DOCTOR] Sorry, but hold on a minute. What happened to your parents? [WOMAN] They drove off. [DOCTOR] Yeah, but they might drive back. [WOMAN] Everyone goes to the motorway in the end. I've lost them. [DOCTOR] But they can't have gone far. You could find them. No. No, no,don't. [WOMAN] I'm sorry, what were you saying? [DOCTOR] Your parents. Your mother and father. They're on the motorway. [WOMAN] Are they? That's nice. I'm sorry, I won't keep you. [MARTHA] So that's the human race five billion years in the future. Offtheir heads on chemicals. [MILO] I'm sorry, I'm really, really sorry. We just need three, that'sall. [DOCTOR] No, let her go! I'm warning you, let her go! Whatever you want,I can help. Both of us, we can help.

That's it. [MILO] Get on board. --------------------------------------- (Milo's car) [MILO] Engaging anti-gravs. Hold on. --------------------------------------- (Back street) [DOCTOR] Martha! --------------------------------------- (Milo's car) [CHEEN] She's all right. She's breathing, pulse isfine, and no harm done. She looks rich. She must have got lost. [MILO] Yeah, well, she's worth her weight in gold to us. This is carfour six five diamond six. We have three passengers, repeat three.Request access to the fast lane. [COMPUTER] nan [MILO] Oh, yes. --------------------------------------- (Pharmacy Town) [PHARMACIST 3] Thought you'd come back. Do you want some happy Happy? [DOCTOR] Those people, who were they? Where did they take her? [PHARMACIST 1] They've taken her to the motorway. [PHARMACIST 3] Looked like carjackers to me. [PHARMACIST 2] I'd give up now, darling. You won't see her again. [PHARMACIST 1] Used to be thriving, this place. You couldn't move. Butthey all go to the motorway in the end. [DOCTOR] He kept on saying three, we need three. What did he mean,three? [PHARMACIST 3] It's the car-sharing policy, to save fuel. You getspecial access if you're carrying three adults. [DOCTOR] This motorway. How do I get there? [PHARMACIST 3] Straight down the alley, keep going to the end. You cannamiss it. Tell you what. How about some happy Happy? Then you'll besmiling, my love. [DOCTOR] Word of advice, all of you. Cash up, close down and pack yourbags. [PHARMACIST 3] Why's that, then? [DOCTOR] Because as soon as I've found her, alive and well. And I willfind her alive and well. Then I'm coming back, and this street isclosing tonight! --------------------------------------- (Milo's car) [MILO] Now you just settle back. It's all going tobe worth it. [CHEEN] Yeah. The view from the windows. You can see all the way out tothe flatlands. Clear blue sky. They say the air smells like applegrass. Can you imagine? [MILO] The houses are made of wood. There are jobs going in thefoundries. Everyone says so. [MARTHA] Take me back. Whoever you are, just take me back to my friend.That's all I want. I won't cause any trouble. Just take me back. [CHEEN] I'm sorry. That's not a real gun. [MARTHA] Yeah, well, you would say that. [CHEEN] Where do you get a gun from, these days? I wouldn't even knowhow to fire. [MARTHA] No, nor me. Okay. [CHEEN] What's your name? [MARTHA] Martha. Martha Jones. [CHEEN] Well, I'm Cheen, and this is Milo. And I swear we're sorry.We're really, really sorry. We just needed access to the fast line, butI promise, as soon as we arrive, we'll drop you off and you can go backand find your friend. [MARTHA] Seriously? [CHEEN] I swear! Look. Honesty patch. [MARTHA] All the same, it's still kidnapping! Where are we, anyway? [MILO] We're on the motorway. [MARTHA] What's that, then? Fog? [CHEEN] That's the exhaust fumes. [MILO] We're going out to Brooklyn. Everyone says the air's so muchcleaner, and we couldn't stay in Pharmacy Town, because [CHEEN] Well, because of me. I'm pregnant. We only discovered it lastweek. Scan says it's going to be a boy. [MARTHA] Right. What do I do now, congratulate my kidnappers? [CHEEN] Oh, we're not kidnappers. Not really. [MARTHA] Nope? You're idiots. You're having a baby, and you're wearingthat? [MARTHA] Not anymore. [MILO] This'll be as fast as we can. We'll take the motorway to theBrooklyn flyover, and then after that it'sgoing to take awhile, because then there's no fast lane, just ordinaryroads, but at least it's direct. [CHEEN] It's only ten miles. [MARTHA] How long is it going to take? [CHEEN] About six years. [MARTHA] What? [CHEEN] Be just in time for him to start school. [MARTHA] No, sorry, hold on. Six years? Ten miles in six years? Howcome? --------------------------------------- (Lay by) [BRANNIGAN] Hey! You daft little street strut. What are you doingstanding there? Either get out or get in. Come on! --------------------------------------- (Brannigan's car) [BRANNIGAN] Did you ever see the like? [VALERIE] Here you go. [BRANNIGAN] Just standing there, breathing it in. [BRANNIGAN] There's this story, says back in the old days, on Junctionforty seven, this woman stood in the exhaust fumes for a solid twentyminutes. By the time they found her, her head had swollen to fiftyfeet. [VALERIE] Oh, you're making it up. [BRANNIGAN] A fifty foot head! Just think of it. Imagine picking thatnose. [VALERIE] Oh, stop it. That's disgusting. [BRANNIGAN] What, did you never pick your nose? [VALERIE] Bran, we're moving. [BRANNIGAN] Right. I'm there. I'm on it. [BRANNIGAN] Twenty yards. We're having a good day. And who might you be,sir? Very well-dressed for a hitchhiker. [DOCTOR] Thanks. Sorry, I'm the Doctor. [BRANNIGAN] Medical man! My name's Thomas Kincade Brannigan, and this isthe bane of my life, the lovely Valerie. [VALERIE] Nice to meet you. [BRANNIGAN] And that's the rest of the family behind you. [DOCTOR] Ah, that's nice. Hello. How old are they? [VALERIE] Just two months. [BRANNIGAN] Poor little souls. They've never known the ground beneaththeir paws. Children of the motorway. [DOCTOR] What, they were born in here? [VALERIE] We couldn't stop. We heard there were jobs going, out in thelaundries on Fire Island. Thought we'd take a chance. [DOCTOR] What, you've been driving for two months? [BRANNIGAN] Do I look like a teenager? We've been driving for twelveyears now. [DOCTOR] I'm sorry? [BRANNIGAN] Yeah! Started out as newlyweds. Feels like yesterday. [VALERIE] Feels like twelve years to me. [BRANNIGAN] Ah, sweetheart, but you're still love me. [DOCTOR] Twelve years? How far did you come? Where did you start? [BRANNIGAN] Battery Park. It's five miles back. [DOCTOR] You travelled five miles in twelve years? [BRANNIGAN] I think he's a bit slow. [VALERIE] Where are you from? [DOCTOR] Never mind that. I've got to get out. My friend's in one ofthese cars. She was taken hostage. I should get back to the Tardis. [BRANNIGAN] You're too late for that. We've passed the lay-by. You're apassenger now, Sonny Jim. [DOCTOR] When's the next lay-by? [BRANNIGAN] Oh, six months? --------------------------------------- (Milo's car) [MARTHA] How many cars are out there? [CHEEN] I don't think anyone knows. Here we go. Hungry? [MARTHA] Oh, thanks. But how far down is it to this fast lane? [MILO] Oh, it's right at the bottom, underneath the traffic jam. But notmany people can afford three passengers, so it's empty down there.Rumour has it you can reach up to thirty miles per hour. [MARTHA] Wow. That's, like, crazy. But how are you supposed to liveinside this thing? It's tiny. [CHEEN] Oh, we stocked up. Got self-replicating fuel, muscle stimulantsfor exercise, and there's a chemical toilet at the back. And all wasteproducts are recycled as food. [MARTHA] Okay. [MILO] Oh, another gap. This is brilliant. [COMPUTER] nan [MILO] Car Four Six Five Diamond Six, on descent to fast lane, thank youvery much. [COMPUTER] Please drive safely. --------------------------------------- (Brannigan's car) [DOCTOR] I need to talk to the police. [COMPUTER] Thank you for your call. You have been placed on hold. [DOCTOR] But you're the police. [COMPUTER] Thank you for your call. You have been placed on hold. [DOCTOR] Is there anyone else? I once met the Duke of Manhattan. Isthere any way of getting through to him? [BRANNIGAN] Oh now, ain't you lordly? [DOCTOR] I've got to find my friend. [VALERIE] You can't make outside calls. The motorway's completelyenclosed. [DOCTOR] What about the other cars? [BRANNIGAN] Oh, we've got contact with them, yeah. Well, some of them,anyway. They've got to be on your friends list. Now, let's see. Who'snearby? Ah, the Cassini sisters! [BRANNIGAN] Still your hearts, my handsome girls. It's Brannigan here. --------------------------------------- (Cassini car) [ALICE] Get off the line, Brannigan. You're a pestand a menace. --------------------------------------- (Brannigan's car) [BRANNIGAN] Oh, come on, now, sisters. Is that anyway to talk to an old friend? [ALICE [OC]] You know full well --------------------------------------- (Cassini car) [ALICE] We're not sisters. We're married. --------------------------------------- (Brannigan's car) [BRANNIGAN] Ooo, stop that modern talk. I'm anold-fashioned cat. Now, I've got a hitchhiker here, calls himself theDoctor. [DOCTOR] Hello. Sorry. I'm looking for someone called Martha Jones.She's been carjacked. --------------------------------------- (Cassini car) [DOCTOR [OC]] She's inside one of these vehicles,but I don't know which one. [MAY] Wait a minute. Could I ask, what entrance --------------------------------------- (Brannigan's car) [MAY] Did they use? [DOCTOR] Where were we? [BRANNIGAN] Pharmacy Town. [DOCTOR] Pharmacy Town --------------------------------------- (Cassini car) [DOCTOR [OC]] About twenty minutes ago. [MAY] Let's have a look.

[DOCTOR] Yes, she was, yeah. --------------------------------------- (Cassini car) [MAY] There we are. Just one of those cars wasdestined for the fast lane. That means they had three on board. And carnumber is four six five diamond six. --------------------------------------- (Brannigan's car) [DOCTOR] That's it! So how do we find them? --------------------------------------- (Cassini car) [MAY] Ah. Now there I'm afraid I can't help. --------------------------------------- (Brannigan's car) [DOCTOR] Call them on this thing. We've got theirnumber. Diamond six. [BRANNIGAN] But not if they're designated fast lane. It's a differentclass. --------------------------------------- (Cassini car) [MAY] You could try the police. --------------------------------------- (Brannigan's car) [DOCTOR] They put me on hold. --------------------------------------- (Cassini car) [ALICE] You'll have to keep trying. There's no oneelse. --------------------------------------- (Brannigan's car) [DOCTOR] Thank you. --------------------------------------- (Milo's car) [MILO] See? Another ten layers to go. We're scorching. [MARTHA] What's that? It's coming from underneath. [CHEEN] It's that noise, doesn't it? It's like Kate said. The stories,they're true. [MARTHA] What stories? [MILO] It's the sound of the air vents. That's all. The exhaust fumestravel down, so at the base of the tunnel they've got air vents. [CHEEN] No, but the stories are much better. They say people go missingon the motorway. Some cars just vanish, never to be seen again, becausethere's something living down there in the smoke. Something huge andhungry. And if you get lost on the road, it's waiting for you. [MILO] But like I said. Air vents. Going down to the next layer. [MARTHA] Except look out there. Does it look like the air vents areworking? [CHEEN] No. [MARTHA] So what's that, then? [MILO] Nah. Kid stuff. Car four six five diamond six, on descent. --------------------------------------- (Brannigan's car) [DOCTOR] We've got to go to the fast lane. Take medown. [BRANNIGAN] Not a million years. [DOCTOR] You've got three passengers. [BRANNIGAN] I'm still not going. [DOCTOR] She's alone and she's lost. She doesn't belong on this planet,and it's all my fault. I'm asking you, Brannigan, take me down. [VALERIE] That's a no. And that's final. I'm not risking the childrendown there. [DOCTOR] Why not? What's the risk? What happens down there? [VALERIE] We're not discussing it. The conversation is closed. [DOCTOR] So we keep on driving. [BRANNIGAN] Yes, we do. [DOCTOR] For how long? [BRANNIGAN] Till the journey's end. [DOCTOR] Mrs Cassini, this is the Doctor. --------------------------------------- (Cassini car) [DOCTOR [OC]] Tell me, how long have you beendriving on the motorway? [ALICE] Oh, we were amongst the first. It's been twenty three years now. [DOCTOR [OC]] And in all that --------------------------------------- (Brannigan's car) [DOCTOR] Time, have you ever seen a police car? --------------------------------------- (Cassini car) [MAY] I'm not sure. --------------------------------------- (Brannigan's car) [DOCTOR] Look at your notes. Any police? --------------------------------------- (Cassini car) [MAY] Not as such. [DOCTOR [OC]] Or an ambulance? --------------------------------------- (Brannigan's car) [DOCTOR] Rescue service? Anything official. Ever. [MAY [OC]] I can't --------------------------------------- (Cassini car) [MAY] Keep a note of everything. --------------------------------------- (Brannigan's car) [DOCTOR] What if there's no one out there? [BRANNIGAN] Stop it. The Cassinis were doing you a favour. [DOCTOR] Someone's got to ask, because you might not talk about it, butit's there in your eyes. What if the traffic jam never stops? [BRANNIGAN] There's a whole city above us. The mighty city state of NewNew York. They wouldn't just leave us. [DOCTOR] In that case, where are they, hmm? What if there's no helpcoming, not ever? What if there's nothing? Just the motorway, with thecars going round and round and round and round, never stopping.Forever. [VALERIE] Shut up! Just shut up! [SALLY [on monitor]] This is Sally Calypso, and it's that time again.The sun is blazing high in the sky over the New Atlantic, the perfectsetting for the daily contemplation. [BRANNIGAN] You think you know us so well, Doctor. But we're notabandoned. Not while we have each other. [SALLY] This is for all of you out there on the roads. We're so sorry.Drive safe. [CHOIR] (singing) On a hill, far away, stood an old, rugged cross, theemblem of suffering and shame. And I love that old cross, where thedearest and bestfor a world of lost sinners was slain. So I'll cherish the old ruggedcross, till my trophies at last I lay down. I will cling to the oldrugged cross, and exchange it some day for a crown. --------------------------------------- (Milo's car) [COMPUTER] Fast lane access. Please drive safely. [MILO] We made it. The fast lane. --------------------------------------- (Brannigan's car) [DOCTOR] If you won't take me, I'll go down on myown. [BRANNIGAN] What do you think you're doing? [DOCTOR] Finding my own way. I usually do. [COMPUTER] Capsule open. [DOCTOR] Here we go. [DOCTOR] Look after this. I love that coat. Janis Joplin gave me thatcoat. [VALERIE] But you can't jump. [DOCTOR] If it's any consolation, Valerie, right now, I'm havingkittens. [BRANNIGAN] This Martha. She must mean an awful lot to you. [DOCTOR] Hardly know her. I was too busy showing off. And I lied to her.Couldn't help it, just lied. Bye then. [VALERIE] He's completely insane!

We'll do the whole loop, and by the timewe come back round, they'll be open. [MARTHA] You're still calling that air vents? [MILO] What else could it be? [CHEEN] What the hell is that? [MILO] It's just the hydraulics. [MARTHA] It sounds like it's alive. [MILO] It's all exhaust fumes out there. Nothing could breathe in that. [JAVIT [OC]] Calling Car four six five diamond six. Repeat, calling Carfour six five diamond six. [MILO] This is Car four six five diamond six. Who's that? Where are you? --------------------------------------- (Javit's car) [JAVIT] I'm in the fast lane, about fifty yards behind. --------------------------------------- (Milo's car) [JAVIT [OC]] Can you get back up? Can you get offthe fast lane? [MILO] We only have permission to go down. We need --------------------------------------- (Javit's car) [MILO [OC]] The Brooklyn Flyover. [JAVIT] It's closed.

[GENT] Excuse me, is that legal? [DOCTOR] Sorry, Motorway Foot Patrol. Whatever. Have you got any water? [GENT] Certainly. Never let it be said I've lost my manners. [DOCTOR] Is this the last layer? [GENT] We're right at the bottom. Nothing below us but the fast lane. [DOCTOR] Can we drive down? [GENT] nan [DOCTOR] Couldn't we just cheat? [GENT] Well, I'd love to, but it's an automated system. The wheel wouldlock. [DOCTOR] Then excuse me. [GENT] You can't jump. It's a thousand feet down. [DOCTOR] No, I just want to look. [DOCTOR] What's that noise? [GENT] I try not to think about it. [DOCTOR] What are those lights? What's down there? I just need to see. [DOCTOR] There must be some sort of ventilation. If I could justtransmit a pulse through this thing, maybe I could trip the system,give us a bit of a breeze. --------------------------------------- (Brannigan's car) [BRANNIGAN] Just what we need. Pirates! [VALERIE] I'm calling the police! [HAME] The Doctor. Where is he? --------------------------------------- (City gent's car) [DOCTOR] That's it! Might shift the fumes a bit, give us a good look. [GENT] What are those shapes? [DOCTOR] They're alive. [GENT] What the hell are they? [DOCTOR] Macra. --------------------------------------- (Milo's car) [CHEEN] Go faster! [MILO] I'm at top speed! [COMPUTER] No access above. [MILO] But this is an emergency! [POLICE] Thank you for your call. You have been placed on hold. [MARTHA] Turn everything off. [MILO] You've got to be joking. [MARTHA] But listen, it's all fog out there, so how can they see us?Maybe it's the engines, the sound, or the heat, or the light. I don'tknow. Turn everything off. They might not be able to find us. [MILO] What if you're wrong? [MARTHA] It can't be worse than this! Just do it! [CHEEN] They've stopped. [MILO] Yeah, but they're still out there. [CHEEN] How did you think of that? [MARTHA] I saw it on a film. They used to do it in submarines. Thetrouble is, I can't remember what they did next. [MILO] Well, you'd better think of something, because we've lost theaircon. If we don't switch the engines back on, we won't be able tobreathe. [MARTHA] How long have we got? [MILO] Eight minutes, maximum. --------------------------------------- (City gent's car) [DOCTOR] The Macra used to be the scourge of thisgalaxy. Gas. They fed off gas, the filthier the better. They built up asmall empire using humans as slaves and mining gas for food. [GENT] They don't exactly look like empire builders to me. [DOCTOR] Well, that was billions of years ago. Billions. They must havedevolved down the years. Now they're just beasts. But they're stillhungry and my friend's down there. [GENT] Oh, it's like New Times Square in here, for goodness's sake! [DOCTOR] I've invented a sport. [HAME] Doctor, you're a hard man to find. [GENT] No guns. I'm not having guns. [HAME] I only brought this in case of pirates. Doctor, you've got tocome with me. [DOCTOR] Do I know you? [HAME] You haven't aged at all. Time has been less kind to me. [DOCTOR] Novice Hame! No, hold on, get off. Last time we met, you werebreeding humans for experimentation. [HAME] I've sought forgiveness, Doctor, for so many years, under hisguidance. And if you come with me, I might finally be able to redeemmyself. [DOCTOR] I'm not going anywhere. You've got Macra living underneath thiscity. Macra! And if my friend's still alive, she's stuck down there. [HAME] You've got to come with me right now. [DOCTOR] No, no, no, you're coming with me. We've got three passengersnow. [HAME] I'm sorry, Doctor. But the situation is even worse than you canimagine. [HAME] Transport. [DOCTOR] Don't you dare! Don't you dare! --------------------------------------- (Senate) [DOCTOR] Oh! Rough teleport. Ow. You can go straight back down andteleport people out, starting with Martha. [HAME] I only had the power for one trip. [DOCTOR] Then get some more! Where are we? [HAME] High above, in the over-city. [DOCTOR] Good. Because you can tell the Senate of New New York I'd likea word. They have got thousands of people trapped on the motorway.Millions! [HAME] But you're inside the Senate, right now. May the goddess Santoribless them. [HAME] They died, Doctor. The city died. [DOCTOR] How long's it been like this? [HAME] Twenty four years. [DOCTOR] All of them? Everyone? What happened? [HAME] A new chemical. A new mood. They called it Bliss. Everyone triedit. They couldn't stop. A virus mutated inside the compound and becameairborne. Everything perished. Even the virus, in the end. It killedthe world in seven minutes flat. There was just enough time to closedown the walkways and the flyovers, sealing off the under-city. Thosepeople on the motorway aren't lost, Doctor. They were saved. [DOCTOR] So the whole thing down there is running on automatic. [HAME] There's not enough power to get them out. We did all we could tostop the system from choking. [DOCTOR] Who's we? How did you survive? [HAME] He protected me. And he has waited for you, these long years. [BOE [OC]] Doctor. [DOCTOR] The Face of Boe! [BOE] I knew you would come. [HAME] Back in the old days, I was made his nurse as penance for my sin. [DOCTOR] Old friend, what happened to you? [BOE] Failing. [HAME] He protected me from the virus by shrouding me in his smoke. Butwith no one to maintain it, the City's power died. The under-city wouldhave fallen into the sea. [DOCTOR] So he saved them. [HAME] The Face of Boe wired himself into the mainframe. He's giving hislife force just to keep things running. [DOCTOR] But there are planets out there. You could have called forhelp. [HAME] The last act of the Senate was to declare New Earth unsafe. Theautomatic quarantine lasts for one hundred years. [DOCTOR] So the two of you stayed here, on your own for all these years. [HAME] We had no choice. [DOCTOR] Yes, you did. [BOE] Save them, Doctor. Save them. --------------------------------------- (Milo's car) [CHEEN] How much air's left? [MILO] Two minutes. [MARTHA] There's always the Doctor. That friend of mine. He might thinkof something. [MILO] Martha, no one's coming. [CHEEN] He looked kind of nice. [MARTHA] He's a bit more than that. [CHEEN] Are you and him [MARTHA] Sometimes I think he likes me, but sometimes I just think heneeds someone with him. [CHEEN] I never even asked. Where's home? [MARTHA] It's a long way away. I didn't really think. I just followedthe Doctor, and they don't even know where I am. My mum and dad. If Idied here, they'd never know. [MILO] So, er, who is he, then, this Doctor? [MARTHA] I don't know. Well, not really. There's so much he never says. [CHEEN] But that means that the only hope right now is a completestranger. Well, that's no use. [MARTHA] It is, though, because you haven't seen the things he can do.Honestly, just trust me, both of you. You've got your faith, you've gotyour songs and your hymns, and I've got the Doctor. [MILO] Right. [COMPUTER] Systems back online. [MILO] Good luck. [MARTHA] And you. --------------------------------------- (Senate) [DOCTOR] Car four six five diamond six. It still registers! That'sMartha. I knew she was good. Novice Hame, hold that in place. Think,think, think, think. Take the residual energy, invert it, feed itthrough the electricity grid. [HAME] There isn't enough power. [DOCTOR] Oh, you've got power. You've got me. I'm brilliant withcomputers, just you watch. Hame, every switch on that bank up tomaximum. I can't power up the city, but all the city needs is people. [HAME] So what are you going to do? [DOCTOR] This! [DOCTOR] No, no, no, no, no, no, no. [DOCTOR] The transformers are blocked. The signal can't get through. [BOE] Doctor. [DOCTOR] Yeah, hold on, not now. [BOE] I give you my last [DOCTOR] Hame, look after him. Don't you go dying on me, you big oldface. You've got to see this. The open road. Ha! --------------------------------------- (Brannigan's car) [BRANNIGAN] What in Jehovah was that? [VALERIE] It's coming from above! [BRANNIGAN] What is it? What's happening?! --------------------------------------- (Cassini's car) [ALICE] Hold on, May. --------------------------------------- (Brannigan's car) [BRANNIGAN] By all the cats in the kingdom! [VALERIE] What is it? [VALERIE] What is it? --------------------------------------- (City gent's car) [GENT] Yes! --------------------------------------- (Brannigan's car) [VALERIE] It's the sun! Oh, Brannigan. Children,it's the sunlight. [DOCTOR [on monitor]] Sorry, no Sally Calypso. She was just a hologram.My name's the Doctor. [BRANNIGAN] He's a magician. [DOCTOR [on monitor]] And this is an order. Everyone drive up. Rightnow. [BRANNIGAN] Is he serious? [DOCTOR [on monitor]] I've opened the roof of the motorway. Come on.Throttle those engines. Drive up. All of you. The whole under-city.Drive up, drive up, drive up! Fast! [BRANNIGAN] Here we go. [DOCTOR [on monitor]] We've got to clear that fast lane. Drive up andget out of the way. --------------------------------------- (Milo's car) [DOCTOR [on monitor]] Oi! Car four six five diamondsix. Martha! Drive up! [MARTHA] That's the Doctor! [MILO] We can't go up! We'll hit the layer! [MARTHA] Just do as he says! Go up! [DOCTOR [on monitor]] You've got access above. Now go! [CHEEN] It's daylight. Oh my God, that's the sky. The real sky. [MARTHA] He did it! I told you, he did it! --------------------------------------- (Brannigan's car) [BRANNIGAN] Did I tell you, Doctor? You're not bad,sir. You're not bad at all! Oh, yee-hah! --------------------------------------- (Senate) [DOCTOR] You keep driving, Brannigan. All the way up. Because it's here,just waiting for you. The city of New New York, and it's yours. Anddon't forget I want that coat back. [BRANNIGAN [OC]] I reckon that's a fair bar gain, sir. [DOCTOR] And Car four six five diamond six, I've sent you a flight path.Come to the Senate. [MARTHA [OC]] On my way. [DOCTOR] It's been quite a while since I saw you, Martha Jones. [HAME] Doctor! [MARTHA] Doctor? [DOCTOR] Over here. [MARTHA] Doctor! What happened out there? [MARTHA] What's that? [DOCTOR] It's the Face of Boe. It's all right. Come and say hello. Andthis is Hame. She's a cat. Don't worry. He's the one that saved you,not me. [HAME] My lord gave his life to save the city, and now he's dying. [DOCTOR] No, don't say that. Not old Boe. Plenty of life left. [BOE] It's good to breathe the air once more. [MARTHA] Who is he? [DOCTOR] I don't even know. Legend says the Face of Boe has lived forbillions of years. Isn't that right? And you're not about to give upnow. [BOE] Everything has its time. You know that, old friend, better thanmost. [HAME] The legend says more. [DOCTOR] Don't. There's no need for that. [HAME] It says that the Face of Boe will speak his final secret to atraveller. [DOCTOR] Yeah, but not yet. Who needs secrets, eh? [BOE] I have seen so much. Perhaps too much. I am the last of my kind,as you are the last of yours, Doctor. [DOCTOR] That's why we have to survive. Both of us. Don't go. [BOE] I must. But know this, Time Lord. You are not alone. --------------------------------------- (Pharmacy Town) [DOCTOR] All closed down. [MARTHA] Happy? [DOCTOR] Happy happy. New New York can start again. And they've gotNovice Hame. Just what every city needs. Cats in charge. Come on, timewe were off. [MARTHA] But what did he mean, the Face of Boe? You're not alone. [DOCTOR] I don't know. [MARTHA] You've got me. Is that what he meant? [DOCTOR] I don't think so. Sorry. [MARTHA] Then what? [DOCTOR] Doesn't matter. Back to the Tardis, off we go. [DOCTOR] All right, are you staying? [MARTHA] Till you talk to me properly, yes. He said last of your kind.What does that mean? [DOCTOR] It really doesn't matter. [MARTHA] You don't talk. You never say. Why not? [CHOIR] (singing) Fast falls the eventide. [MARTHA] It's the city. [CHOIR] The darkness deepens [MARTHA] They're singing. [CHOIR] Lord, with me abide. When other helpers fail [DOCTOR] I lied to you, because I liked it. I could pretend. Just for abit, I could imagine they were still alive, underneath a burnt orangesky. I'm not just a Time Lord. I'm the last of the Time Lords. The Faceof Boe was wrong. There's no one else. [MARTHA] What happened? [CHOIR] Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day. [DOCTOR] There was a war. A Time War. The last Great Time War. My peoplefought a race called the Daleks, for the sake of all creation. And theylost. They lost. Everyone lost. They're all gone now. My family, myfriends, even that sky. Oh, you should have seen it, that old planet.The second sun would rise in the south, and the mountains would shine.The leaves on the trees were silver, and when they caught the lightevery morning, it looked like a forest on fire. When the autumn came,the breeze would blow through the branches like a song. [CHOIR] The darkness deepens. Lord, with me abide.

[TALLULAH] Wish me luck, Lazlo! [LASZLO] Break a leg, sweetheart. [LASZLO] Tallulah? --------------------------------------- (Backstage) [LASZLO] Who's there? --------------------------------------- (Props room) [LASZLO] Hello? Hello? Who's there? Who are you? --------------------------------------- (Bedloe's Island) [MARTHA] Where are we? [DOCTOR] Ah, smell that Atlantic breeze. Nice and cold. Lovely. Martha,have you met my friend? [MARTHA] Is that? Oh, my God. That's the Statue of Liberty. [DOCTOR] Gateway to the New World. Give me you tired, your poor, yourhuddled masses yearning to breath free. [MARTHA] That's so brilliant. I've always wanted to go to New York. Imean the real New York, not the new, new, new, new, new one. [DOCTOR] Well, there's the genuine article. So good, they named ittwice. Mind you, it was New Amsterdam originally. Harder to say twice.Now wonder it didn't catch on. New Amsterdam, New Amsterdam. [MARTHA] I wonder what year it is, because look, the Empire StateBuilding's not even finished yet. [DOCTOR] Work in progress. Still got a couple floors to go, and if Iknow my history, that makes the date somewhere around [MARTHA] November first 1930. [DOCTOR] You're getting good at this. [MARTHA] Eighty years ago. It's funny, because you see all those oldnewsreels all in black and white like it's so far away, but here weare. It's real. It's now. Come on then, you. Where do you want to gofirst? [DOCTOR] I think our detour just got longer. [MARTHA] (reads) Hooverville Mystery Deepens. What's Hooverville? --------------------------------------- (Central Park) [DOCTOR] Herbert Hoover, thirty first President of the USA, came topower a year ago. Up till then New York was a boom town, the RoaringTwenties, and then. [MARTHA] The Wall Street Crash, yeah? When was that, 1929? [DOCTOR] Yeah. Whole economy wiped out overnight. Thousands of peopleunemployed. All of a sudden, the huddled masses doubled in number withnowhere to go. So, they ended up here in Central Park. [MARTHA] What, they actually live in the park? In the middle of thecity? --------------------------------------- (Hooverville) [DOCTOR] Ordinary people lost their jobs. Couldn't pay the rent and theylost everything. There are places like this all over America. No one'shelping them. You only come to Hooverville when there's nowhere else togo. [BLACK MAN] You thieving lowlife! [BLACK MAN] (unintelligible) for a single loaf! [WHITE MAN] I didn't touch it! [BLACK MAN] Somebody stole it.! [SOLOMON] Cut that out! Cut that out right now! [BLACK MAN] He stole my bread! [SOLOMON] That's enough! Did you take it? [WHITE MAN] I don't know what happened. He just went crazy. [SOLOMON] That's enough! Now, think real careful before you lie to me. [WHITE MAN] I'm starving, Solomon. [SOLOMON] We all starving. We all got families somewhere. [SOLOMAN] No stealing and no fighting. You know the rules. Thirteenyears ago I fought in the Great War. A lot of us did. And the onlyreason we got through was because we stuck together. No matter how badthings get, we still act like human beings. It's all we got. [DOCTOR] Come on. (to Solomon) I suppose that makes you the boss aroundhere. [SOLOMON] And, er, who might you be? [MARTHA] He's the Doctor. I'm Martha. [SOLOMON] A doctor. Huh. Well, we got stockbrokers, we got a lawyer, butyou're the first doctor. Neighbourhood gets classier by the day. [MARTHA] How many people live here? [SOLOMON] At any one time, hundreds. No place else to go. But I will saythis about Hooverville. We are a truly equal society. Black, white, allthe same. All starving. So you're welcome, both of you. But tell me.Doctor, you're a man of learning, right? Explain this to me. Thatthere's going to be the tallest building in the world. How come theycan do that, when we got people starving in the heart of Manhattan? --------------------------------------- (Empire State Building) [WORKMAN] Right, no more! [WORKMAN 2] Hoist! --------------------------------------- (Works office) [FOREMAN] I'm telling you, the men won't stand for it. I mean, are youout of your mind? I got five hundred men working seven days a week.They're flat out, and you want us to go faster? [DIAGORAS] The new masters demand it, [FOREMAN] But we're on schedule. What's the problem? Another month andwe'll be done. [DIAGORAS] The mast on this building needs extra work completed bytonight. [FOREMAN] Tonight? No way. It's impossible. [DIAGORAS] That's an order. [FOREMAN] Yeah? Well, one word from me and every man on this site stopsworking. So go on. Tell your masters that. [DIAGORAS] If that's your attitude, I think that you should tell themyourself. [FOREMAN] Yeah? Well, I ain't afraid of no man in a suit. [FOREMAN] These er, these new bosses? What's their names? [DIAGORAS] I think you could say they're from out of town. [FOREMAN] Italians? [DIAGORAS] A bit further than that. [FOREMAN] How much further? [DIAGORAS] Beyond your imagination. [FOREMAN] What's that supposed to mean? Who are they? Mister Diagoras,who're we working for? [DIAGORAS] Behold your masters. [FOREMAN] What the hell? [DALEK 3] I have been summoned. Explain. Explain. [FOREMAN] It can talk. How does it talk? And what the hell are they? Yougot to be kidding me. [DIAGORAS] I'm sorry, my lord, but this man is refusing to complete thework. [DALEK 3] Then we must replace him. [FOREMAN] Is anybody going to tell me what the hell is happening here? [DALEK 3] Use him. Take him for the Final Experiment. [FOREMAN] Hey, what's going on? Let go! Let go of me! Get off me, youfreaks! Mister Diagoras, will you tellthem? [DALEK 3] The Empire State Building must be completed in time. [DIAGORAS] It will be. Trust me. Labour is cheap and that man can bereplaced. [DALEK 3] The plan must not fail. We calculate the gamma strike hasaccelerated. We need more bodies immediately. [DIAGORAS] Yes, Master. --------------------------------------- (Hooverville) [DOCTOR] So, men are going missing. Is this true? [SOLOMON] It's true all right. --------------------------------------- (Solomon's tent) [DOCTOR] But what does missing mean? Men must comeand go here all the time. It's not like anyone's keeping a register. [SOLOMON] Come on in. This is different. [MARTHA] In what way? [SOLOMON] Someone takes them, at night. We hear something, someone callsout for help. By the time we get there, they're gone like they vanishedinto thin air. [DOCTOR] And you're sure someone's taking them? [SOLOMON] Doctor, when you got next to nothing, you hold on to thelittle you got. Your knife, blanket, you take it with you. You don'tleave bread uneaten, fire still burning. [MARTHA] Have you been to the police? [SOLOMON] Yeah, we tried that. Another deadbeat goes missing, big deal. [DOCTOR] So the question is, who's taking them and what for? [FRANK [OC]] Solomon! [FRANK] Solomon, Mister Diagoras is here. --------------------------------------- (Hooverville) [DIAGORAS] I need men. Volunteers. I've got a littlework for you and you sure look like you can use the money. [FRANK] Yeah. What is the money? [DIAGORAS] A dollar a day. [SOLOMON] What's the work? [DIAGORAS] A little trip down the sewers. Got a tunnel collapsed needsclearing and fixing. Any takers? [SOLOMON] A dollar a day? That's slave wage. And men don't always comeback up, do they. [DIAGORAS] Accidents happen. [DOCTOR] What do you mean? What sort of accidents? [DIAGORAS] You don't need the work? That's fine. Anybody else? [DIAGORAS] Enough with the questions. [DOCTOR] Oh, no, no, no. I'm volunteering. I'll go. [MARTHA] I'll kill you for this. [DIAGORAS] Anybody else? --------------------------------------- (Sewers) [DIAGORAS] Turn left. Go about a half a mile. Followtunnel two seven three. Fall's right ahead of you, you can't miss it. [FRANK] And when do we get our dollar? [DIAGORAS] When you come back up. [DOCTOR] And if we don't come back up? [DIAGORAS] Then I got no one to pay. [SOLOMON] Don't worry, we'll be back. [MARTHA] Let's hope so. [FRANK] We just got to stick together. It's easy to get lost. It's likea huge rabbit warren. You could hide an army down here. [MARTHA] So what about you, Frank? You're not from around these parts,are you? [FRANK] Oh, you could talk. No, I'm Tennessee born and bred. [MARTHA] So how come you're here? [FRANK] Oh, my daddy died. Mama couldn't afford to feed us all. So, I'mthe oldest, up to me to feed myself. So I put on my coat, hitched uphere on the railroads. There's a whole lot of runaways in the camp,younger than me, from all over. Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas. Solomonkeeps a lookout for us. So, what about you? You're a long way fromhome. [MARTHA] Yeah, I'm just a hitcher too. [FRANK] You stick with me, you'll be all right. [DOCTOR] So this Diagoras bloke, who is he then? [SOLOMON] A couple of months ago, he was just another foreman. Now, itseems like he's running most of Manhattan. [DOCTOR] How'd he manage that then? [SOLOMON] These are strange times. A man can go from being King of theHill to the lowest of the low overnight. It's just for some folks itworks the other way round. [DOCTOR] Whoa! [MARTHA] Is it radioactive or something? It's gone off, whatever it is.And you've got to pick it up. [DOCTOR] Shine your torch through it. Composite organic matter. Martha?Medical opinion? [MARTHA] It's not human. I know that. [DOCTOR] No, it's not. And I'll tell you something else. We must be atleast half a mile in. I don't see any sign of a collapse, do you? Sowhy did Mister Diagoras send up down here? [MARTHA] Where are we now? What's above us? [DOCTOR] Well, we're right underneath Manhattan. --------------------------------------- (Works office) [DIAGORAS] And here, the crowning glory of theEmpire State Building, the mast itself. One thousand four hundred andseventy two feet above New York. [FOREMAN 2] It's a beautiful thing, sir, and every single one of us isproud of it. My wife says it's like a, like a spire reaching intoHeaven. [DIAGORAS] Except the Gates of Heaven need a little decoration. Theseplates have got to be fixed to the mast, right to the base itself. [FOREMAN 2] That's okay. It's not too bad. Shouldn't take too long. [DIAGORAS] But the work has got to be finished tonight. [FOREMAN 2] What, are you trying to kill us? We're flat out up here!Come on. [DIAGORAS] Don't argue with me! [FOREMAN 2] But sir, men can't work up there at night. It's freezing.Your hands go numb. You lose your grip, you fall. [DIAGORAS] You don't get it. If you won't work I can replace you likethat! Now take those panels and get going. [MAN] What sort of metal is this anyway? [DIAGORAS] Don't ask questions, just go. [DIAGORAS] And I don't care how cold it is, how tired you are. Just getout there and finish the job! [DALEK 3] The conductor must be complete for our plan to succeed. [DIAGORAS] Unemployment is such an incentive. It'll get done, don'tworry. [DALEK 3] Daleks have no concept of worry. [DIAGORAS] Yeah? Well, lucky you. [DALEK 3] This day is ending. Humankind is weak. You shelter from thedark. And yet, you have built all this. [DIAGORAS] That's progress. You got to move with the times or you getleft behind. [DALEK 3] My planet is gone, destroyed in a great war, yet versions ofthis city stand throughout history. The human race always continues. [DIAGORAS] We've had wars. I've been a soldier myself, and I swore thenI'd survive, no matter what. [DALEK 3] You have rare ambition. [DIAGORAS] I want to run this city, whatever it takes, by any meansnecessary. [DALEK 3] You think like a Dalek. [DIAGORAS] I'll take that as a compliment. --------------------------------------- (Dalek laboratory) [DALEK SEC] This human is our best option. Bring him to me. --------------------------------------- (Works office) [DALEK 3] Your loyalty will be rewarded. Come withme. --------------------------------------- (Dalek laboratory) [DALEK SEC] Prepare the laboratory. The FinalExperiment will begin. [DALEKS] We obey. --------------------------------------- (Lift) [DIAGORAS] Where are we going? [DALEK] You have been summoned by our leader. [DIAGORAS] Oh, and about time too. --------------------------------------- (Dalek laboratory) [DALEK 1] I bring you the human. [DIAGORAS] I take it you're in charge? [DALEK SEC] Correct. I am Dalek Sec, leader of the Cult of Skaro. [DIAGORAS] Then, my Lord Sec, I am honoured to meet you. Ever since youfirst made contact with me, transmitting your thoughts into the cornersof my mind, tempting me with such images, such ideas. Oh, sir, I'dalways dreamt that the [DALEK SEC] Cease talking. [DIAGORAS] I just want to let you know how grateful I am [DALEK SEC] I said cease. Slaves, secure the human. [DIAGORAS] But you don't need to do that. I'm on your side. I'm workingwith you. I'm your partner. I'm your friend. --------------------------------------- (Sewers) [SOLOMON] We're way beyond half a mile. There's no collapse, nothing. [MARTHA] That Diagoras bloke, was he lying? [DOCTOR] Looks like it. [FRANK] So why'd he want people to come down here? [DOCTOR] Solomon, I think it's time you took these two back. I'll bemuch quicker on my own. [SOLOMON] What the hell was that? [FRANK] Hello? [MARTHA] Shush. [SOLOMON] Frank. [FRANK] What if it's one of the folk gone missing? You'd be scared andhalf mad down here on your own. [DOCTOR] Do you think they're still alive? [FRANK] Heck, we ain't seen no bodies down here. Maybe they just gotlost. [SOLOMON] I know I never heard nobody make a sound like that. [FRANK] Where's it coming from? Sounds like there's more than one ofthem. [DOCTOR] This way. [SOLOMON] No, that way. [MARTHA] Doctor? [SOLOMON] Who are you? [FRANK] Are you lost? Can you understand me? I've been thinking aboutfolk lost down [DOCTOR] It's all right, Frank. Just stay back. Let me have a look. He'sgot a point, though, my mate Frank. I'd hate to be stuck down here onmy own. We know the way out. Daylight. If you come with us [DOCTOR] Oh, but what are you? [SOLOMON] Is that, er, some kind of carnival mask? [DOCTOR] No, it's real. I'm sorry. Now listen to me. I promise I canhelp. Who did this to you? [MARTHA] Doctor? I think you'd better get back here. [MARTHA] Doctor! [DOCTOR] Actually, good point. [MARTHA] They're following you. [DOCTOR] Yeah, I noticed that, thanks. Well then, Martha, Frank,Solomon. [MARTHA] What? [DOCTOR] Eh? Er, basically, run! [MARTHA] Where are we going?! [DOCTOR] This way! [DOCTOR] It's a ladder! Come on! [SOLOMON] Frank! Frank! [SOLOMON] C'mon, Frank! C'mon! [DOCTOR] I've got you. C'mon! Come on! [SOLOMON] Frank! [DOCTOR] No! --------------------------------------- (Props room) [SOLOMON] We can't go after him. [DOCTOR] We've got to go back down. We can't just leave him. [SOLOMON] No, I'm not losing anybody else. Those creatures were fromHell. From Hell itself! If we go after them, they'll take us all!There's nothing we can do. I'm sorry. [TALLULAH] All right, then. Put them up. Hands in the air and no funnybusiness. Now tell me, you schmucks, what have you done with Laszlo? [MARTHA] Who's Laszlo? --------------------------------------- (Tallulah's dressing room) [TALLULAH] Laszlo's my boyfriend. Or was my boyfriend until hedisappeared two weeks ago. No letter, no goodbye, no nothing. And I'mnot stupid. I know some guys are just pigs but not my Laszlo. I mean,what kind of guy asks you to meet his mother before he vamooses? [DOCTOR] Yeah. It might, might just help if you put that down. [TALLULAH] Huh? Oh, sure. Oh, come on. It's not real. It's just a prop.It was either that or a spear. [MARTHA] What do you think happened to Lazlo? [TALLULAH] I wish I knew. One minute he's there, the next, zip.Vanished. [DOCTOR] Listen, ah—what's your name? [TALLULAH] Tallulah. [DOCTOR] Tallulah. [TALLULAH] Three Ls and an H. [DOCTOR] Right. We can try to find Laszlo, but he's not the only one.There are people disappearing every night. [SOLOMON] And there are creatures. Such creatures. [TALLULAH] What do you mean, creatures? [DOCTOR] Look, listen, just trust me. Everyone is in danger. I need tofind out exactly what this is. [DOCTOR] Because then I'll know exactly what we're fighting. [TALLULAH] Yuck. --------------------------------------- (Props room) [SOLOMON] How about this? I found it backstage. [DOCTOR] Perfect. It's the capacitors I need. I'm just rigging up acrude little DNA scan for this beastie. If I can get a chromosomalreading, I can find out where it's from. [SOLOMON] How about you, Doctor? Where are you from? I've been all over.I never heard anybody talk like you. Just exactly who are you? [DOCTOR] Oh, I'm just sort of passing by. [SOLOMON] I'm not a fool, Doctor. [DOCTOR] No. Sorry. [SOLOMON] I was so scared, Doctor. I let them take Frank because I wasjust so scared. I got to get back to Hooverville. With these creatureson the loose, we got to protect ourselves. Ain't no one elsegoing to help us. [DOCTOR] Good luck. [SOLOMON] I hope you find what you're looking for, for all our sakes. --------------------------------------- (Tallulah's dressing room) [TALLULAH] Laszlo. He'd wait for me after the show. Walk me home like Iwas a lady. He'd leave a flower for me on my dressing table. Every day,just a single rose bud. [MARTHA] Haven't you reported him missing? [TALLULAH] Sure. He's just a stagehand. Who cares? The managementcertainly don't. [MARTHA] Can't you kick up a fuss or something? [TALLULAH] Okay, so then they fire me. [MARTHA] But they'd listen to you. You're one of the stars. [TALLULAH] Oh, honey, I got one song in a back street revue and that'sonly because Heidi Chicane broke her ankle. Which had nothing to dowith me whatever anybody says. I can't afford to make a fuss. If Idon't make this month's rent, then before you know it, I'm inHooverville. [MARTHA] Okay, I get it. [TALLULAH] It's the Depression, sweetie. Your heart might break, but theshow goes on. Because if it stops, you starve. Every night I have to goout there, sing, dance, keep going, hoping he's going tocome back. [MARTHA] I'm sorry. [TALLULAH] Hey, you're lucky, though. You got yourself a forwardthinking guy with that hot potato in the sharp suit. [MARTHA] Er, he's not. We're not together. [TALLULAH] Oh, sure you are. I've seen the way you look at him. It'sobvious. [MARTHA] Not to him. [TALLULAH] Oh, I should have realised. He's into musical theatre, huh?What a waste. Still, yougot to live in hope. It's the only thing that's kept me going because,well, look. On my dressing table every day still. [MARTHA] You think it's Laszlo? [TALLULAH] I don't know. If he's still around, why is he being allsecret like he doesn't want me to see him? --------------------------------------- (Hooverville) [SOLOMON] The stories are all true. People are being taken. We lostFrank today. He was stolen from right in front of me. No more. I swearto you, no more. Now, I made a pledge that this place would be apeaceful place, but now it's time to take up arms. [CROWD] Yeah! [SOLOMON] We need weapons. We need sentries on duty. We need menprepared to fight. We've got to protect ourselves because you know noone else will. [CROWD] That's right. [SOLOMON] Now get moving. Arm yourselves. Come on! --------------------------------------- (Mast) [FOREMAN 2] I can't feel my fingers! We can't stay here for much longer!We'll fall! [MAN 2] Come on, we're nearly done! --------------------------------------- (Dalek laboratory) [DALEK] The chromatin solution is ready. [DALEK SEC] Then our preparations are complete. [DIAGORAS] What are you doing? Preparations for what? [DALEK SEC] This is the Final Experiment. [DIAGORAS] What do you mean? Do you mean like this pig men things?You're not going toturn me into one of those. Oh God, please don't! [DALEK SEC] The pig slaves are primitive. The Final Experiment isgreater by far. [DIAGORAS] But how does that involve me? [DALEK SEC] We need your flesh. Bring him to me! [DALEK THAY] Halt! This action contradicts the Dalek Imperative. [DALEK] Daleks are supreme. Humans are weak. [DALEK SEC] But there are millions of humans and only four of us. If weare supreme, why are we not victorious? The Cult of Skaro was createdby the Emperor for this very purpose. To imagine new ways of survival. [DALEK THAY] But we must remain pure. [DALEK SEC] No, Dalek Thay. Our purity has brought us to extinction. Wemust adapt to survive. You have all made sacrifices. [DALEK SEC] And now I will sacrifice myself for the greater cause, thefuture of Dalek kind. Now bring me the human. [DIAGORAS] I don't understand. What do you mean? Get off of me! [DALEK SEC] Behold the true Dalek form. [DALEK SEC] Now you join with me. [DIAGORAS] No! Get off me! I did everything you asked of me! No! --------------------------------------- (Lighting gallery) [DOCTOR] That's it. We need to heat you up. --------------------------------------- (Backstage) [TALLULAH] Girls, it's showtime! [MYRNA] Lois, you spoil my chasse tonight, I'm going to punch you. [LOIS] Aw, quick complaining, Myrna. Go buy yourself some glasses. [TALLULAH] Come on, honey. Take a look. Ever been on stage before? [MARTHA] Oh, a little bit. You know, Shakespeare. [TALLULAH] How dull is that? Come and see a real show. --------------------------------------- (Lighting gallery) [DOCTOR] This is artificial. [MC [OC]] Ladies and gentlemen. The Laurenzi [DOCTOR] Genetically engineered. Whoever this is, oh, you're clever. [MC [OC]] Dancing devils, with Heaven and Hell! [TALLULAH] (sings) You lured me in with your cold grey eyes, your simplesmile, your bewitching lies. One and one and one is three. My bad, badangel, the Devil and me. You put the devil in me. You put the devil inme. You put the devil in me. My bad, bad angel, you put the Devil inme. [MYRNA] What are you doing? [TALLULAH] What are you doing? [LOIS] You're on my tail. Get off my tail! --------------------------------------- (Lighting gallery) [DOCTOR] Fundamental DNA type four six seven dash nine eight nine. Nineeight nine. Hold on, that means planet of origin. Skaro. --------------------------------------- (Stage) [TALLULAH] Get off the stage. You're spoiling it! [MARTHA] But look. Over there! [MARTHA] Hey! --------------------------------------- (Backstage) [MARTHA] Wait! --------------------------------------- (Props room) [MARTHA [OC]] But you're different to the others! Just wait! --------------------------------------- (Backstage) [MYRNA] It was like something out of a movie show. [LOIS] Oh, that face. I ain't never going to sleep. [DOCTOR] Where is she? Where's Martha? [TALLULAH] I don't know. She ran off the stage. --------------------------------------- (Props room) [DOCTOR] Martha! [TALLULAH] Where are you going? [DOCTOR] They've taken her. [TALLULAH] Who's taken her? What're you doing? --------------------------------------- (Sewers) [TALLULAH [OC]] I said, what the hell are you doing? --------------------------------------- (Props room) [TALLULAH] Crazy guy. --------------------------------------- (Sewers) [DOCTOR] No, no, no, no, no way. You're not coming. [TALLULAH] Tell me what's going on. [DOCTOR] There's nothing you can do. Go back. [TALLULAH] Look, whoever's taken Martha, they could've taken Laszlo,couldn't they? [DOCTOR] Tallulah, you're not safe down here. [TALLULAH] Then that's my problem. Come on. Which way? [DOCTOR] This way. --------------------------------------- (Sewer 2) [MARTHA] No! Let me go! [FRANK] Martha. [MARTHA] You're alive! Oh! I thought we'd lost you. [MARTHA] All right, all right, we're moving. [FRANK] Where are they taking us? [MARTHA] I don't know, but we can find out what's going on down here. --------------------------------------- (Sewer) [TALLULAH] When you say, they've taken her, who's they exactly? And whoare you anyway? I never asked. [DOCTOR] Shush. [TALLULAH] Okay, okay. [DOCTOR] Shush, shush, shush, shush, shush, shush, shush. [TALLULAH] I mean you're handsome and all [DOCTOR] No, no, no, no, no, no, no. They survived. They always survivewhile I lose everything. [TALLULAH] That metal thing? What was it? [DOCTOR] It's called a Dalek. And it's not just metal, it's alive. [TALLULAH] You're kidding me. [DOCTOR] Does it look like I'm kidding? Inside that shell is a creatureborn to hate, whose only thought is to destroy everything and everyonethat isn't a Dalek too. It won't stop until it's killed every humanbeing alive. [TALLULAH] But if it's not a human being, that kind of implies it's fromouter space. Yet again, that's a no with the kidding. Boy. Well, what'sit doing here, in New York? --------------------------------------- (Dalek laboratory) [DALEK] Stop the process. Dalek Sec is failing. [DALEK SEC] No, the experiment must continue. Administer the solution.We must evolve. Evolve. Evolve!(Sec is given an injection.) --------------------------------------- (Sewers) [DOCTOR] Every second you're down here, you're indanger. I'm taking you back right now. [DOCTOR] Where's Martha? What have you done with her? What have you donewith Martha? [LASZLO] I didn't take her. [DOCTOR] Can you remember your name? [LASZLO] Don't look at me. [TALLULAH] Do you know where she is? [LASZLO] Stay back! Don't look at me. [DOCTOR] What happened to you? [LASZLO] They made me a monster. [DOCTOR] Who did? [LASZLO] The masters. [DOCTOR] The Daleks. Why? [LASZLO] They needed slaves. They needed slaves to steal more people sothey created us. Part animal, part human. I escaped before they got mymind, but it was still too late. [DOCTOR] Do you know what happened to Martha? [LASZLO] They took her. It's my fault. She was following me. [TALLULAH] Were you in the theatre? [LASZLO] I never. Yes. [TALLULAH] Why? Why were you there? [LASZLO] I never wanted you to see me like this. [TALLULAH] Why me? What I got to do with this? Were you following me? Isthat why you were there? [LASZLO] Yes. [TALLULAH] Who are you? [LASZLO] I was lonely. [TALLULAH] Who are you? [LASZLO] I needed to see you. [TALLULAH] Who are you? [LASZLO] I'm sorry. [TALLULAH] No, wait. Let me look at you. Laszlo? My Laszlo? Oh, whathave they done to you? [LASZLO] I'm sorry. So sorry. [DOCTOR] Laszlo, can you show me where they are? [LASZLO] They'll kill you. [DOCTOR] If I don't stop them, they'll kill everyone. [LASZLO] Then follow me. --------------------------------------- (Sewer 2) [FRANK] What are they keeping us here for? [MARTHA] I don't know. I've got a nasty feeling we're being kept in thelarder. [FRANK] What're they doing? What's wrong? What's wrong? [DALEK 1] Silence. Silence. [MARTHA] What the hell is that? [DALEK 1] You will form a line. Move. Move. [MARTHA] Just do what it says, everyone, okay? Just obey. [DALEK 1] The female is wise. Obey. [DALEK] Report. [DALEK 1] These are strong specimens. They will help the Dalek cause. [MARTHA] Dalek? [DALEK 1] What is the status of the Final Experiment? [DALEK] The Dalekanium is in place. The energy conductor is nowcomplete. [DALEK 1] Then I will extract prisoners for selection. [DALEK 1] Intelligence scan, initiate. [DALEK 1] Reading brain waves. Low intelligence. [MAN] You calling me stupid? [DALEK 1] Silence! This one will become a pig slave. Next. [MAN] No, let go of me. I'm not becoming one of them. No! No. [DALEK 1] Intelligence scan. Initiate. [LASZLO] They're divided into two groups. High intelligence and lowintelligence. The low intelligence are taken to become pig slaves likeme. [TALLULAH] Well, that's not fair. [DOCTOR] Shush. [TALLULAH] (sotto) You're the smartest guy I ever dated. [DOCTOR] And the others? [LASZLO] They're taken to the laboratory. [DOCTOR] Why? What for? [LASZLO] I don't know. The masters only call it the Final Experiment. [DALEK 1] Superior intelligence. [DALEK 1] Intelligence scan, initiate. Superior intelligence. This onewill become part of the Final Experiment. [MARTHA] You can't just experiment on people. It's insane! It's inhuman! [DALEK 1] We are not human. Prisoners of high intelligence will be takento the transgenic laboratory. [DOCTOR] Look out, they're moving! [LASZLO] Doctor. Doctor, quickly! [DOCTOR] I'm not coming. I've got an idea. You go. [TALLULAH] Laszlo, come on. [LASZLO] Can you remember the way? [TALLULAH] Yeah, I think so. [LASZLO] Then go, please. [TALLULAH] But Laszlo, you got to come with me. [LASZLO] Where would I go? Tallulah, I'm begging you. Save yourself.Just run. Just go. Go. [DOCTOR] Just keep walking. [MARTHA] Oh, I'm so glad to see you. [DOCTOR] Yeah, well, you can kiss me later. You too, Frank, if you want. --------------------------------------- (Dalek laboratory) [DALEK 1] Report. [DALEK THAY] Dalek Sec is in the final stage of evolution. [DALEK] Scan him. Prepare for birth. [DOCTOR] Evolution? [MARTHA] What's wrong with old Charlie boy over there? [DOCTOR] Ask them. [MARTHA] What, me? Don't be daft. [DOCTOR] I don't exactly want to get noticed. Ask them what's going on. [MARTHA] Daleks, I demand to be told. What is this Final Experiment?Report! [DALEK 1] You will bear witness. [MARTHA] To what? [DALEK 1] This is the dawn of a new age. [MARTHA] What does that mean? [DALEK 1] We are the only four Daleks in existence, so the species mustevolve a life outside the shell. The Children of Skaro must walk again. [MARTHA] What is it?

Doctor Who (28 Apr, 2007; Tenth Doctor) - Evolution Of The Daleks [SEC] These humans will become like me. Prepare themfor hybridisation. [MARTHA] Leave me alone! Don't you dare! [SEC] What is that sound? [DOCTOR] Ah, well, now, that would be me. [DOCTOR] Hello. Surprise. Boo. Et cetera. [SEC] Doctor. [DALEK] The enemy of the Daleks. [DALEK 3] Exterminate. [SEC] Wait! [DOCTOR] Well, then. A new form of Dalek. Fascinating and very clever. [SEC] The Cult of Skaro escaped your slaughter. [DOCTOR] How did you end up in 1930? [SEC] Emergency temporal shift. [DOCTOR] Oh, that must have roasted up your power cells, huh? Time was,four Daleks could have conquered the world, but instead you're skulkingaway, hidden in the dark, experimenting. All of which results in you. [SEC] I am Dalek in human form. [DOCTOR] What does it feel like? You can talk to me, Dalek Sec. It isDalek Sec, isn't it? That's your name? You've got a name and a mind ofyour own. Tell me what you're thinking right now. [SEC] I feel humanity. [DOCTOR] Good. That's good. [SEC] I feel everything we wanted from mankind, which is ambition,hatred, aggression and war. Such a genius for war. [DOCTOR] No, that's not what humanity means. [SEC] I think it does. At heart, this species is so very Dalek. [DOCTOR] All right, so what have you achieved then, with this FinalExperiment, eh? Nothing! Because I can show you what you're missingwith this thing. A simple little radio. [DALEK 3] What is the purpose of that device? [DOCTOR] Well, exactly. It plays music. What's the point of that? Oh,with music, you can dance to it, sing with it, fall in love to it.Unless you're a Dalek of course. Then it's all just noise. [DOCTOR] Run! [DALEK] Protect the hybrid! [DALEKS] Protect. Protect. Protect. [DALEK] Report status. [SEC] Pain. Pain of the flesh, like no other Dalek has felt forthousands of years. [DALEK 1] The Doctor has escaped. [SEC] Then find him. Find him. [DALEK 1] Find the Doctor. The prisoners must be recaptured. --------------------------------------- (Sewers) [DOCTOR] Come on! Move, move, move, move, move! [DOCTOR] And you, Tallulah! Run! [TALLULAH] What's happened to Laszlo? [DOCTOR] Come on! Everyone up! Come on! [DALEK 1] They have ascended. Return to base. [DALEK 1] Request information. What is your opinion of Dalek Sec? [DALEK 3] We were created to follow him. [DALEK 1] But you have doubts. [DALEK 3] Affirmative. --------------------------------------- (Hooverville) [SOLOMON] These Daleks, they sound like the stuff ofnightmares. And they want to breed? [DOCTOR] They're splicing themselves onto human bodies, and if I'mright, they've got a farm of breeding stock right here in Hooverville.You've got to get everyone out. [SOLOMON] Hooverville's the lowest place a man can fall. There's nowhereelse to go. [DOCTOR] I'm sorry, Solomon. You've got to scatter. Go anywhere. Down tothe railroads, travel across state. Just get out of New York. [SOLOMON] There's got to be a way to reason with these things. [MARTHA] There's not a chance. [FRANK] You ain't seen them, boss. [DOCTOR] Daleks are bad enough at anytime, but right now they'revulnerable. That makes them more dangerous than ever. [SENTRY] They're coming! They're coming! [SOLOMON] A sentry. He must have seen something. [SENTRY] They're here! I've seen them! Monsters! They're monsters! [DOCTOR] It's started. [SOLOMON] We're under attack! Everyone to arms! [FRANK] I'm ready, boss, but all of you, find a weapon! Use anything. [SOLOMON] Come back! We've got to stick together! It's not safe outthere! Come back! [MARTHA] We need to get out of the park. [DOCTOR] We can't. They're on all sides. They're driving everyone backtowards us. [TALLULAH] We're trapped. [SOLOMON] Then we stand together. Gather round. Everybody come to me.You there, Jethro, Harry, Seamus, stay together. [SOLOMON] They can't take all of us. [MARTHA] If we can just hold them off till daylight. [DOCTOR] Oh, Martha, they're just the foot soldiers. [MARTHA] Oh, my God. [SOLOMON] What in this world is? [SENTRY] It's the devil. A devil in the sky. God save us all. It'sdamnation. [FRANK] Oh yeah? We'll see about that! [DOCTOR] That's not going to work. --------------------------------------- (Dalek laboratory) [SEC] Establish visual contact. [SEC] Commence the attack. --------------------------------------- (Hooverville) [MARTHA] There's more than one of them. [DALEK 3] The humans will surrender. --------------------------------------- (Dalek laboratory) [DOCTOR [on screen]] Leave them alone. They've donenothing to you! [DALEK 3] We have located the Doctor. --------------------------------------- (Hooverville) [DOCTOR] No, Solomon. Stay back. [SOLOMON] I'm told that I'm addressing the Daleks. Is that right? --------------------------------------- (Dalek laboratory) [SEC] Observe humanity. For all their faults theyhave such courage. --------------------------------------- (Hooverville) [SOLOMON] From what I hear, you're outcasts too. [DOCTOR] Solomon, don't! [SOLOMON] Doctor, this is my township. --------------------------------------- (Dalek laboratory) [SOLOMON [on screen]] You will respect my authority. --------------------------------------- (Hooverville) [SOLOMON] Just let me try. Daleks, ain't we all thesame? --------------------------------------- (Dalek laboratory) [SOLOMON [on screen]] Underneath, ain't we all kin? --------------------------------------- (Hooverville) [SOLOMON] Right. See, I've just discovered this past day, God's universeis a thousand times the size I thought it was. And that scares me. Ohyeah, terrifies me right down to the bone. But surely it's got to giveme hope.Hope that maybe together we can make a better tomorrow. So, I beg younow, if you have any compassion in your hearts, then you'll meet withus and stop this fight. Well? What do you say? [DALEK 3] Exterminate. [FRANK] No! Solomon! [MARTHA] They killed him. They just shot him on the spot. [DOCTOR] Daleks. All right, so it's my turn! Then kill me! Kill me ifit'll stop you attacking these people! [DALEK 3] I will be the destroyer of our greatest enemy. [DOCTOR] Then do it! Do it! Just do it! Do it! [DALEK 3] Exterminate. --------------------------------------- (Dalek laboratory) [SEC] Stop! I command you. Stop. --------------------------------------- (Hooverville) [DALEK 3] I do not understand. It is the Doctor. --------------------------------------- (Dalek laboratory) [SEC] But I want him alive. --------------------------------------- (Hooverville) [DALEK 3] The urge to kill is too strong. --------------------------------------- (Dalek laboratory) [SEC] I have decided. The Doctor must live and youwill obey me. --------------------------------------- (Hooverville) [DALEK 3] I obey. [DOCTOR] What's going on? --------------------------------------- (Dalek laboratory) [SEC] Bring him to me. --------------------------------------- (Hooverville) [DALEK] You will follow. [MARTHA] No! You can't go. [DOCTOR] I've got to go. The Daleks just changed their minds. Daleksnever change their minds. [MARTHA] But what about us? [DOCTOR] One condition! If I come with you, you spare the lives ofeveryone here! Do you hear me? --------------------------------------- (Dalek laboratory) [SEC] Obey the Doctor. --------------------------------------- (Hooverville) [DALEK] Humans will be spared. Doctor, follow. [MARTHA] Then I'm coming with you. [DOCTOR] Martha, stay here. Do what you do best. People are hurt. Youcan help them. Let me go. Oh, and can I just say, thank you very much. --------------------------------------- (Dalek laboratory) [DALEK 3] You saved the Doctor. Why? [SEC] He's a genius and we can use him. The future of the Daleks mightwell depend on the Doctor. --------------------------------------- (Solomon's tent) [MAN [OC]] Somebody help me. [TALLULAH] Here you go. I got some more on the boil. [MARTHA] Thanks. You'll be all right. It's just a cut. Try and keep itclean. [PATIENT] Thanks. [TALLULAH] So what about us? What do we do now? [MARTHA] The Doctor gave me this. He must have had a reason. [TALLULAH] What's that for? [MARTHA] It gets you into places. Buildings and things. But where? Hemust want me to go somewhere but, what am I supposed to do? --------------------------------------- (Dalek laboratory) [DOCTOR] Those people were defenceless! You only wanted me, but no, thatwasn't enough for you. You had to start killing, because that's theonly thing a Dalek's good for. [SEC] The deaths were wrong. [DOCTOR] I'm sorry? [SEC] That man, their leader, Solomon. He showed courage. [DOCTOR] And that's good? [SEC] That's excellent. [DOCTOR] Is it me or are you just becoming a little bit more human? [SEC] You are the last of your kind, and now I am the first of mine. [DOCTOR] What do you want me for? [SEC] We tried everything to survive when we found ourselves stranded inthis ignorant age. First we tried growing new Dalek embryos, but theirflesh was too weak. [DOCTOR] Yeah, I found one of your experiments. Just left to die outthere in the dark. [SEC] It forced us to conclude what is the greatest resource of thisplanet. Its people. [SEC] We stole them. We stole human beings for our purpose. Look inside. [SEC] This is the true extent of the Final Experiment. [DOCTOR] Is he dead? [SEC] Near death, with his mind wiped, ready to be filled with newideas. [DOCTOR] Dalek ideas. [SEC] The Human Dalek race. [DOCTOR] All of these people. How many? [SEC] We have caverns beyond this storing more than a thousand. [DOCTOR] Is there any way to restore them? Make them human again? [SEC] Everything they were has been lost. [DOCTOR] So they're like shells. You've got empty human beings ready tobe converted. That's going to take a hell of a lot of power. Thisplanet hasn't even split the atom yet. How're you going to do it? [SEC] Open the conductor plan. --------------------------------------- (Solomon's tent) [MARTHA] Wait a minute. Down in the sewers, theDaleks mentioned this energy conductor. [TALLULAH] What does that mean? [MARTHA] I don't know. Maybe like a lightening conductor or. Dalekanium! [TALLULAH] Oh. [MARTHA] They said the Dalekanium was in place. [TALLULAH] In place where? [MARTHA] Frank might know. --------------------------------------- (Hooverville) [MARTHA] Frank? [FRANK] Hmm? [MARTHA] That Mister Diagoras, he was like some sort of fixer, yeah? Getyou jobs all over town? [FRANK] Yeah. He could find a profit anywhere. [MARTHA] But where, though? What sort of things? [FRANK] You name it. We're all so desperate for work, you just hopedDiagoras would pick you for something good. Building work, that paysthe best. [MARTHA] But what sort of building work? [FRANK] Mainly building that. --------------------------------------- (Dalek laboratory) [DOCTOR] Yeah, yeah, yeah. The Empire State Building. We're rightunderneath that. I worked that out already, thanks. But what, you'vehijacked the whole building? [SEC] We needed an energy conductor. [DOCTOR] What for? [SEC] I am the genetic template. My altered DNA was to be administeredto each human body. A strong enough blast of gamma radiation can splicethe Dalek and human genetic codes, and waken each body from its sleep. [DOCTOR] Gamma radiation? What are you. Oh, the sun. You're using thesun. [SEC] Soon the greatest solar flare for a thousand years will hit theEarth. Gamma radiation will be drawn to the energy conductor and whenit strikes [DOCTOR] The army wakes. I still don't know what you need me for. [SEC] Your genius. Consider a pure Dalek, intelligent but emotionless. [DOCTOR] Removing the emotions makes you stronger. That's what yourcreator thought, all those years ago. [SEC] He was wrong. [DOCTOR] He was what? [SEC] It makes us lesser than our enemies. We must return to the flesh,and also the heart. [DOCTOR] But you wouldn't be the supreme beings anymore. [SEC] And that is good. [DALEK 2] That is incorrect. [DALEK 3] Daleks are supreme. [SEC] No, not anymore. [DALEK 3] But that is our purpose. [SEC] Then our purpose is wrong. Where has our quest for supremacy ledus? To this. Hiding in the sewers on a primitive world, just four of usleft. If we do not change now then we deserve extinction. [DOCTOR] So you want to change everything that makes a Dalek a Dalek. [SEC] If you can help me. --------------------------------------- (Service lift) [MARTHA] I always wanted to go to the Empire State.Never imagined it quite like this, though. [FRANK] Where are we headed anyway? [MARTHA] The top, where they're still building. [TALLULAH] How come those guys just let us through? How's that thingwork? [MARTHA] Psychic paper. Shows them whatever I want them to think.According to this, we're two engineers and an architect. --------------------------------------- (Dalek laboratory) [SEC] Your knowledge of genetic engineering is evengreater than ours. The new race must be ready by the time the solarflare erupts. [DOCTOR] But you're the template. I thought they were getting a dose ofyou. [SEC] I want to change the gene sequence. [DOCTOR] To make them even more human? [SEC] Humans are the great survivors. We need that ability. [DOCTOR] Hold on a minute. There's no way this lot are going to let youdo it. [SEC] I am their leader. [DOCTOR] Oh, and that's enough for you, is it? [DALEK 2] Daleks must follow orders. [DALEK 1] Dalek Sec commands, we obey. [SEC] If you don't help me, nothing will change. [DOCTOR] There's no room on Earth for another race of people. [SEC] You have your Tardis. Take us across the stars. Find us a new homeand allow the new Daleks to start again. [DOCTOR] When's that solar flare? [SEC] Eleven minutes. [DOCTOR] Right then. Better get to work. --------------------------------------- (Works office) [TALLULAH] Look at this pace. Top of the world. [MARTHA] Okay, now this looks good. [FRANK] Hey, look at the date. These designs were issued today. Theymust've changed something last minute. [MARTHA] You mean the Daleks changed something? [FRANK] Yeah, could be. [MARTHA] The ones underneath, they're from before. That means thatwhatever they changed must be on this top sheet but not on this one. Weneed to check one against the other. [TALLULAH] The height of this place! This is amazing. [MARTHA] Careful, we're a hundred floors up. Don't go wandering off. [TALLULAH] I just want to see. [TALLULAH] New York City. If aliens had to come to Earth, oh, no wonderthey came here. --------------------------------------- (Dalek laboratory) [DOCTOR] There's no point in chromosomal grafting,it's too erratic. You need to split the genome and force the Dalekhuman sequence right into the cortex. [SEC] We need more chromatin solution. [DALEK 1] The pig slaves have it. [DOCTOR] These pig slaves, what happens to them in the grand plan? [SEC] Nothing. They're just simple beasts. Their lifespan is limited.None survive beyond a few weeks. Power up the line feeds. [DOCTOR] Laszlo, I can't undo what they've done to you, but they won'tdo it to anyone else. [LASZLO] Do you trust him? [DOCTOR] I know that one man can change the course of history. Rightidea in the right place at the right time, it's all it takes. I've gotto believe it's possible. --------------------------------------- (Works office) [FRANK] I'll go and keep an eye out. Make sure we're safe up here. Don'twant nobody butting in. [TALLULAH] There's a hell of a storm moving in. [MARTHA] I wish the Doctor was here. He'd know what we're looking for. [TALLULAH] So tell me, where did you and him first hook up? [MARTHA] It was in a hospital, sort of. [TALLULAH] Of course, him being a doctor. [MARTHA] Actually, I'm a doctor. Well, kind of. [TALLULAH] You're a physician? Really? [MARTHA] I was training. Still am, if I ever get back home. [TALLULAH] You could be doctors together. Oh, what a partnership. Oh,it's such a shame. If only he wasn't so different. You know what Imean? [MARTHA] Oh, you have no idea how different he really is. [TALLULAH] Yeah, he's a man, sweetheart. That's different enough. [MARTHA] He had this companion a while back. This friend. And ever sincethen he's been on his own. But you know, sometimes I say something ordo something and he looks at me, and I just sort of think that he's notseeing me. He's just remembering. [TALLULAH] Oh. Listen, sweetheart. You want to get all sad? You want tohave a contest with me and Laszlo? [MARTHA] No. But listen, if the Doctor's with Laszlo now, there's everychance that he could get him out. [TALLULAH] And then what? Don't talk crazy. There's no future for me andhim. Those Dalek things took that away. The one good thing I had in mylife and they destroyed it. --------------------------------------- (Dalek laboratory) [DALEK 1] The line feeds are ready. [DOCTOR] Then it's all systems go. [SEC] The solar flare is imminent. The radiation will reach Earth in amatter of minutes. [DOCTOR] We'll be ready for it. [DOCTOR] That compound will allow the gene bonds to reconfigure in abrand new pattern. Power up! [SEC] Start the line feeds. [DOCTOR] There goes the gene solution. [SEC] The life blood. --------------------------------------- (Works office) [MARTHA] Gotcha. Look. There, on the mast. Thoselittle lines? They're new. They've added something, see? [TALLULAH] Added what? [BOTH] Dalekanium! --------------------------------------- (Dalek laboratory) [DOCTOR] What's that? [SEC] What's happening? Is there a malfunction? Answer me! [DOCTOR] No, no, no. The gene feed! They're overriding the gene feed! [SEC] Impossible. They cannot disobey orders. [DALEK 1] The Doctor will step away from the controls. [SEC] Stop! You will not fire. [DALEK 3] He is an enemy of the Daleks. [DALEK 1] And so are you. [SEC] I am your commander. I am Dalek Sec. [DALEK 1] You have lost your authority. [DALEK 3] You are no longer a Dalek. [DOCTOR] What have you done with the gene feed? [DALEK 1] The new bodies will be one hundred percent Dalek. [SEC] No. You can't do this! [DALEK 3] Pig slaves, restrain Dalek Sec and the Doctor. [SEC] Release me. I created you. I am your master. [DALEK 1] Solar flare approaching. [DALEK 3] Prepare to intercept. [LASZLO] There's the lift. [DOCTOR] After you. [DALEK 1] The Doctor is escaping. Stop him! Stop him! --------------------------------------- (Lift) [DOCTOR] We've only got minutes before the gammaradiation reaches the Earth. We need to get to the top of the building.Laszlo, what's wrong? [LASZLO] Out of breath. It's nothing. We've escaped them, Doctor. That'sall that matters. --------------------------------------- (Dalek laboratory) [SEC] You have betrayed me. [DALEK 1] You told us to imagine. [DALEK 3] And we imagined your irrelevance. [SEC] I was your leader. I am Dalek Sec. Obey me! --------------------------------------- (Works office) [MARTHA] Doctor! [DOCTOR] First floor, perfumery. [TALLULAH] I never thought I'd see you again. [LASZLO] No stopping me. [MARTHA] We've worked it out. We know what they've done. There'sDalekanium on the mast. And it's good to see you too, by thy way. [DOCTOR] Oh, come here. [DOCTOR] No, no, no. See, never waste time with a hug. Deadlock seal. Ican't stop it. [MARTHA] Where's it going? [DOCTOR] Right down to the Daleks. And they're not going to leave usalone up here. What's the time? [FRANK] Er, eleven fifteen. [DOCTOR] Six minutes to go. I've got to remove the Dalekanium before thegamma radiation hits. [TALLULAH] Gammon radiation? What the heck is that? [DOCTOR] Oh, that's high. That's very. Blimey, that's high. [MARTHA] And we've got to go even higher. That's the mast up there,look. There's three pieces of Dalekanium on the base. We've got to getthem off. [DOCTOR] That's not we, that's just me. [MARTHA] I won't just stand here and watch you. [DOCTOR] No, you're going to have your hands full anyway. I'm sorry,Martha, but you've got to fight. --------------------------------------- (Dalek laboratory) [DALEK 3] Confirm time until solar intercept. [DALEK 1] Gamma strike four minutes and counting. [DALEK 1] Pig slaves will take the lift. Find the Doctor. Kill him. --------------------------------------- (Works office) [MARTHA] The lift's coming up. [FRANK] I should have brought that gun. [LASZLO] Tallulah, stay back. You too, Martha. If they send pig slaves,they're trained to kill. [MARTHA] The Doctor needs me to fight. I'm not going anywhere! [LASZLO] They're savages. I should know. They're trained to slit yourthroat with their bare teeth. [TALLULAH] Laszlo? What is it? [LASZLO] No, it's nothing. I'm fine. Just leave me. [TALLULAH] Oh, honey, you're burning up. What's wrong with you? Tell me. [FRANK] Great. One man down, we ain't even started yet. [MARTHA] It's not looking good, Frank. [FRANK] Nope. [MARTHA] We're going to get slaughtered. [MARTHA] Wait a minute. Lightening. [TALLULAH] Aw, you'll be all right, sweetheart. Don't you worry. Whatthe hell are you two clownsdoing? [MARTHA] Even if the Doctor stops the Dalekanium, this place is stillgoing to get hit. Great big bolt of lightening, electricity all downthis building. Connect this to the lift and they get zapped. [TALLULAH] Oh my God, that could work. [FRANK] Then give us a hand. --------------------------------------- (Dalek laboratory) [DALEK 1] Gamma strike imminent. In forty rels.Thirty nine, thirty eight, thirty seven --------------------------------------- (Works office) [TALLULAH] Is that going to work? [MARTHA] It's got to. [FRANK] I've got it all piped up to the scaffolding outside. [MARTHA] Come here, Frank. Just sit in the middle and don't touchanything metal. [FRANK] Yeah. --------------------------------------- (Dalek laboratory) [DALEK 1] Twelve, eleven, ten [DALEK 1] Zero. Gamma strike! [DALEK 1] The army awakes. --------------------------------------- (Works office) [TALLULAH] You did it, Martha. [MARTHA] They used to be like Laszlo. They were people, and I killedthem. [LASZLO] No, the Daleks killed them. Long ago. [MARTHA] What about the Doctor? --------------------------------------- (Dalek laboratory) [DALEK 1] You will identify. [FOREMAN] I am a Dalek. [DALEK 1] Excellent. [DALEK 3] Begin the invasion of Manhattan. The population will beconverted to Daleks. [DALEK 1] And from this island we will conquer the world. [DALEK 3] Assume battle positions. Take arms. --------------------------------------- (Lightning conductor) [MARTHA] Doctor! Doctor? Look what we found halfwaydown. [MARTHA] You're getting careless. [DOCTOR] Oh my head. [MARTHA] Hiya. [DOCTOR] Hi. You survived, then. [MARTHA] So did you, just about. I can't help noticing there'sDalekanium still attached. --------------------------------------- (Dalek laboratory) [DALEK 1] War demands strategy. I am designatedcontroller. [SEC] That was to be my position. [DALEKS] You are unfit. [DALEK 1] Connect me to the military computer. I will coordinate allunits. --------------------------------------- (Works office) [DOCTOR] The Daleks will have gone straight to a warfooting. They'll be using the sewers, spreading the soldiers outunderneath Manhattan. [LASZLO] How do we stop them? [DOCTOR] There's only one chance. I got in the way. That gamma strikewent zapping though me first. [MARTHA] Yeah, but what does that mean? [DOCTOR] We need to draw fire. Before they can attack New York, I needto face them. Where can I draw them out? Think, think, think, think,think. We need some sort of space. Somewhere safe. Somewhere out of theway. Tallulah! [TALLULAH] That's me. Three Ls and an H. [DOCTOR] The theatre! It's right above them, and, what, it's gonemidnight? Can you get us inside? [TALLULAH] Don't see why not. [DOCTOR] Is there another lift? [MARTHA] We came up in the service elevator. [DOCTOR] That'll do. Allons-y! --------------------------------------- (Dalek laboratory) [DALEK 3] Report status. [DALEK 1] Maximum efficiency. I am now ready for full scale war. [DALEK 3] Control over Dalek humans? [DALEK 1] Connection confirmed. All soldiers will take heed. All weaponswill be primed. --------------------------------------- (Theatre) [DOCTOR] This should do it. Here we go. [TALLULAH] There ain't nothing more creepy than a theatre in the dark.Listen, Doctor, I know you got a thing forshow tunes, but there's a time and place, huh? [TALLULAH] Laszlo, what's wrong? [LASZLO] Nothing. It's just so hot. [TALLULAH] But it's freezing in here. Doctor, what's happening to him? [DOCTOR] Not now, Tallulah. Sorry. [MARTHA] What are you doing? [DOCTOR] If the Daleks are going to war, they'll want to find theirnumber one enemy. I'm just telling them where I am. --------------------------------------- (Dalek laboratory) [DALEK 1] Sonic device detected! [DALEK 3] The Doctor survived? [DALEK 2] Find him and exterminate! --------------------------------------- (Theatre) [DOCTOR] I'm telling you to go. Frank can take youback to Hooverville. [MARTHA] And I'm telling you I'm not going. [DOCTOR] Martha, that's an order. [MARTHA] Who are you, then? Some sort of Dalek? [TALLULAH] Doctor! Oh, my God! Well, I guess that's them then, huh? [MARTHA] Humans, with Dalek DNA? [DOCTOR] It's all right, it's all right. Just stay calm. Don'tantagonize them. [LASZLO] But what of the Dalek masters? Where are they? --------------------------------------- (Dalek laboratory) [DALEK 1] Doctor located. Advance. Advance. --------------------------------------- (Theatre) [DALEK 3] The Doctor will stand before the Daleks. [DALEK 3] You will die, Doctor. It is the beginning of a new age. [DALEK 2] Planet Earth will become New Skaro. [DOCTOR] Oh, and what a world. With anything just the slightest bitdifferent ground into the dirt. That's Dalek Sec. Don't you remember?The cleverest Dalek ever and look what you've done to him. Is that yournew Empire, hmm? Is that the foundation for a whole new civilization? [SEC] My Daleks, just understand this. If you choose death anddestruction, then death and destruction will choose you. [DALEK 3] Incorrect. We will always survive. [DALEK 2] Now we will destroy our greatest enemy, the Doctor. [SEC] But he can help you. [DALEK 3] The Doctor must die. [SEC] No, I beg you, don't. [DALEK 3] Exterminate! [DOCTOR] Your own leader. The only creature who might have led you outof the darkness and you destroyed him. Do you see what they did? Huh?You see what a Dalek really is? --------------------------------------- (Dalek laboratory) [DALEK 1] Warning. Dalek humans show increasedlevels of serotonin. --------------------------------------- (Theatre) [DOCTOR] If I'm going to die, let's give the newboys a shot. What do you think, eh? TheDalek humans. Their first blood. Go on, baptise them. [DALEK 3] Dalek humans, take aim. [DOCTOR] What are you waiting for? Give the command! [DALEK 3] Exterminate! [DALEK 2] Exterminate! [DALEK 3] Obey. Dalek humans will obey. [MARTHA] They're not firing. What have you done? [DALEK 3] You will obey. Exterminate. [FOREMAN] Why? [DALEK 2] Daleks do not question orders. [FOREMAN] But why? [DALEK 2] You will stop this. [FOREMAN] But why? [DALEK 2] You must not question. [FOREMAN] But you are not our master. And we, we are not Daleks. [DOCTOR] No, you're not. And you never will be. Sorry, I got in the wayof the lightning strike. Time Lord DNA got all mixed up. Just thatlittle bit of freedom. [DALEK 3] If they will not obey, then they must die. [DOCTOR] Get down! [DALEKS] Exterminate! Exterminate! --------------------------------------- (Dalek laboratory) [DALEK 1] Destroy the hybrids. Destroy. [DALEKS] Exterminate! [DALEK] Extermin [DOCTOR] It's all right, it's all right, it's all right. You did it.You're free. --------------------------------------- (Dalek laboratory) [DALEK 1] The Dalek humans are failures. Destruct!Destruct! Destruct! [DOCTOR] No! They can't! They can't! They can't! They can't! [MARTHA] What happened? What was that? [DOCTOR] They killed them, rather than let them live. An entire species.Genocide. [LASZLO] Only two of the Daleks have been destroyed. One of the Dalekmasters must still be alive. [DOCTOR] Oh, yes. In the whole universe, just one. --------------------------------------- (Dalek laboratory) [DOCTOR] Now what? [DALEK] You will be exterminated. [DOCTOR] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Just think about it, Dalek what wasyour name? [DALEK] Dalek Caan. [DOCTOR] Dalek Caan. Your entire species has been wiped out. And now theCult of Skaro has been eradicated, leaving only you. Right now you'refacing the only man in the universe who might show you some compassion.Because I've just seen one genocide. I won't cause another. Caan, letme help you. What do you say? [DALEK] Emergency temporal shift! [MARTHA] Doctor! Doctor! He's sick. [MARTHA] It's okay. You're all right. It's his heart. It's racing likemad. I've never seen anything like it. [TALLULAH] What is it, Doctor? What's the matter with him? He says hecan't breathe? What is it? [LASZLO] It's time, sweetheart. [TALLULAH] What do you mean, time? What are you talking about? [LASZLO] None of the slaves survive for long. Most of them only live fora few weeks. I was lucky. I held on because I had you. But now, I'mdying, Tallulah. [TALLULAH] No, you're not. Not now, after all this. Doctor, can't you dosomething? [DOCTOR] Oh, Tallulah with three Ls and an H, just you watch me. What doI need? Oh, I don't know. How about a great big genetic laboratory? Ohlook, I've got one. Laszlo, just you hold on. There's been too manydeaths today. [DOCTOR] Way too many people have died. Brand new creatures and wise oldmen and age old enemies. And I'm telling you, I'm telling you rightnow, I am not having one more death! You got that? Not one. Tallulah,out of the way. The Doctor is in. --------------------------------------- (Central Park) [FRANK] Well, I talked to them, and I told them whatSolomon would've said, and I reckon I shamed one or two of them. [DOCTOR] What did they say? [FRANK] They said yes. They'll give you a home, Laszlo. I mean, er,don't imagine people ain'tgoing to stare. I can't promise you'll be at peace but, in the end,that is what Hooverville is for. People who ain't got nowhere else. [LASZLO] Thank you. I can't thank you enough. --------------------------------------- (Bedloe's Island) [MARTHA] Do you reckon it's going to work, thosetwo? [DOCTOR] I don't know. Anywhere else in the universe, I might worryabout them, but New York? That's what this city's good at. Give me yourtired, your poor, your huddled masses, and maybe the odd pig slaveDalek mutant hybrid too. [MARTHA] The pig and the showgirl. [DOCTOR] The pig and the showgirl. [MARTHA] It just proves it, I suppose. There's someone for everyone. [DOCTOR] Maybe. [MARTHA] Meant to say, I'm sorry. [DOCTOR] What for? [MARTHA] Just because that Dalek got away. I know what that means toyou. Think you'll ever see it again? [DOCTOR] Oh, yes. One day.

Doctor Who (5 May, 2007; Tenth Doctor) - The Lazarus Experiment [DOCTOR] There we go. Perfect landing. Which isn't easy in such a tightspot. [MARTHA] You should be used to tight spots by now. Where are we? [DOCTOR] The end of the line. No place like it. --------------------------------------- (Martha's home) [MARTHA] Home. You took me home? [DOCTOR] In fact, the morning after we left, so you've only been goneabout twelve hours. No time at all, really. [MARTHA] But all the stuff we've done. Shakespeare, New New York, oldNew York? [DOCTOR] Yep, all in one night, relatively speaking. Everything shouldbe just as it was. Books, CDs, laundry. So, back were you were, aspromised. [MARTHA] This is it? [DOCTOR] Yeah, I should probably er [MARTHA [on machine]] Hi, I'm out. Leave a message. [MARTHA] I'm sorry. [FRANCINE [on machine]] Martha, are you there? Pick it up, will you? [MARTHA] It's Mum. It'll wait. [FRANCINE] All right then, pretend that you're out if you like. I wasonly calling to say that your sister's on TV. On the news of allthings. Just thought you might be interested. [LAZARUS [on television]] The details are top secret [MARTHA] How could Tish end up on the news? [LAZARUS [on television]] Tonight, I will demonstrate a device whichwill redefine our world. [MARTHA] She's got a new job. PR for some research lab. [LAZARUS [on television]] With the push of a single button, I willchange what it means to be human. [REPORTER [on television]] Professor! Professor! [MARTHA] Sorry. You were saying we should? [DOCTOR] Yes, yes, we should. One trip is what we said. [MARTHA] Yeah. I suppose things just kind of escalated. [DOCTOR] Mmm. Seems to happen to me a lot. [MARTHA] Thank you. For everything. [DOCTOR] It was my pleasure. [DOCTOR] No, I'm sorry. Did he say he was going to change what it meansto be human? --------------------------------------- (Lazarus's office) [LADY THAW] Are you sure it's safe? [LAZARUS] There were some issues. They've been resolved. I'm confidentI'm in no serious danger. [LADY THAW] That's comforting, Richard, but it wasn't just you I wasworried about. [LAZARUS] Your concern is touching. [LADY THAW] The people in that room will represent billions of poundsworth of potential investment. Mister Saxon wants to be sure they likewhat they see. [LAZARUS] Don't worry. Our friend will get his money's worth. [TISH] You wanted to see the guest list for tonight, Professor? [LAZARUS] Yes. Thank you, Leticia. [LAZARUS] That's an interesting perfume. What's it called? [TISH] Soap. --------------------------------------- (Street) [DOCTOR] Oh, black tie. Whenever I wear this, something bad alwayshappens. [MARTHA] It's not the outfit, that's just you. Anyway, I think it suitsyou. In a James Bond kind of way. [DOCTOR] James Bond? Really? --------------------------------------- (Reception room) [DOCTOR] Oh, look, they've got nibbles! I love nibbles. [TISH] Hello. [MARTHA] Tish. [TISH] You look great. So, what do you think? Impressive, isn't it? [MARTHA] Very. [TISH] And two nights out in a row for you. That's dangerously close toa social life. [MARTHA] If I keep this up, I'll end up in all the gossip columns. [TISH] You might, actually. You should keep an eye out forphotographers. And Mum, she's coming too. Even dragging Leo along withher. [MARTHA] Leo in black tie? That I must see. This is, er, the Doctor. [DOCTOR] Hello. [TISH] Is he with you? [MARTHA] Yeah. [TISH] But he's not on the list. How did he get in? [MARTHA] He's my plus one. [DOCTOR] So, this Lazarus, he's your boss? [TISH] Professor Lazarus, yes. I'm part of his executive staff. [MARTHA] She's in the PR department. [TISH] I'm head of the PR department, actually. [MARTHA] You're joking. [TISH] I put this whole thing together. [DOCTOR] So do you know what the professor's going to be doing tonight?That looks like it might be a sonic microfield manipulator. [TISH] He's a science geek. I should have known. Got to get back to worknow. I'll catch up with you later. [DOCTOR] Science geek? What does that mean? [MARTHA] That your obsessively enthusiastic about it. [DOCTOR] Oh, nice. [FRANCINE] Your father's caused me enough heartache already with hismenopause and his trophy girlfriend. [LEO] Yeah, Mum, I know. It's just something he said last night. [FRANCINE] Martha. [MARTHA] Mum! [FRANCINE] All right, what's the occasion? [MARTHA] What do you mean? I'm just pleased to see you, that's all. [FRANCINE] You saw me last night. [MARTHA] I know. I just miss you. You're looking good, Leo. [LEO] Yeah. If anyone asks me to fetch them a drink, I'll swing for him. [FRANCINE] You disappeared last night. [MARTHA] I just went home. [FRANCINE] On your own? [MARTHA] This is a friend of mine. The Doctor. [FRANCINE] Doctor what? [MARTHA] No, it's just the Doctor. We've been doing some work together. [LEO] You all right, mate? [DOCTOR] It's lovely to meet you, Mrs Jones. Heard a lot about you. [FRANCINE] Have you? What have you heard, then? [DOCTOR] Oh, you know, that you're Martha's mother and. Er, no,actually, that's about it. We haven't had much time to chat. You know,been busy. [FRANCINE] Busy? Doing what, exactly? [DOCTOR] Oh you know. Stuff. [LAZARUS] Ladies and gentlemen, I am Professor Richard Lazarus andtonight I am going to perform a miracle. It is, I believe, the mostimportant advance since Rutherford split the atom, the biggest leapsince Armstrong stood on the moon. Tonight, you will watch and wonder.Tomorrow, you will wake to a world which will be changed forever. [DOCTOR] Something's wrong. It's overloading. [LADY THAW] Somebody stop him. Get him away from those controls! [DOCTOR] If this thing goes up, it'll take the whole building with it.Is that what you want? [DOCTOR] Get it open! [LAZARUS] Ladies and gentlemen, I am Richard Lazarus. I am seventy sixyears old and I am reborn! [LADY THAW] He did it. He actually did it. [MARTHA] It can't be the same guy. It's impossible. It must be a trick. [DOCTOR] Oh, it's not a trick. I wish it were. [MARTHA] What just happened then? [DOCTOR] He just changed what it means to be human. [LADY THAW] Excuse me. That was the most astonishing thing I've everseen. Look at you. [LAZARUS] This is only the beginning. We're not just making history,we're shaping the future, too. [LADY THAW] Think of the money we'll make. People will sell their soulsto be transformed like that. And I'll be first in line. [LADY THAW] Richard. [LAZARUS] I'm famished. [DOCTOR] Energy deficit. Always happens with this kind of process. [LAZARUS] You speak as if you see this every day, Mister? [DOCTOR] Doctor. And well, no, not every day, but I have some experienceof this kind of transformation. [LAZARUS] That's not possible. [DOCTOR] Using hypersonic sound waves to create a state of resonance.That's inspired. [LAZARUS] You understand the theory, then. [DOCTOR] Enough to know that you couldn't possibly have allowed for allthe variables. [LAZARUS] No experiment is entirely without risk. [DOCTOR] That thing nearly exploded. You might as well have stepped intoa blender. [LADY THAW] You're not qualified to comment. [DOCTOR] If I hadn't stopped it, it would have exploded. [LAZARUS] Then I thank you, Doctor. But that's a simple engineeringissue. What happened inside the capsule was exactly what was supposedto happen. No more, no less. [MARTHA] You've no way of knowing that until you've run proper tests. [LAZARUS] Look at me. You can see what happened. I'm all the proof youneed. [LADY THAW] This device will be properly certified before we start tooperate commercially. [MARTHA] Commercially? You are joking. That'll cause chaos. [LAZARUS] Not chaos, change. A chance for humanity to evolve, toimprove. [DOCTOR] This isn't about improving. This is about you and yourcustomers living a little longer. [LAZARUS] Not a little longer, Doctor. A lot longer. Perhapsindefinitely. [LADY THAW] Richard, we have things to discuss, upstairs. [LAZARUS] Goodbye, Doctor. In a few years, you'll look back and laugh athow wrong you were. [DOCTOR] Oh, he's out of his depth. No idea of the damage he might havedone. [MARTHA] So what do we do now? [DOCTOR] Now? Well, this building must be full of laboratories. I say wedo our own tests. [MARTHA] Lucky I've just collected a DNA sample then, isn't it? [DOCTOR] Oh, Martha Jones, you're a star. --------------------------------------- (Lazarus' office) [LAZARUS] I grew up over there. A tiny flat above abutcher's shop. [LADY THAW] It'll have a blue plaque soon. Richard Lazarus lived here. [LAZARUS] It's gone. Destroyed in the war. The bombing. [LADY THAW] Of course. [LAZARUS] 1940. Do you remember? Night after night. Explosions, guns,firestorm. [LADY THAW] My parents had sent me to the country by then. [LAZARUS] When the sirens went, we'd go to the cathedral there. We usedto shelter in the crypt. The living cowering among the dead. [LADY THAW] But look at what you've built here, now. You've laid thefoundations for an empire. An empire we can rule together.(She pulls him in for a kiss, and he pulls back in disgust.) [LADY THAW] Well, what's wrong? [LAZARUS] Look at yourself, woman. --------------------------------------- (Laboratory) [DOCTOR] Amazing. [MARTHA] What? [DOCTOR] Lazarus's DNA. [MARTHA] I can't see anything different. [DOCTOR] Look at it. [MARTHA] Oh, my God. Did that just change? But it can't have. [DOCTOR] But it did. [MARTHA] It's impossible. [DOCTOR] And that's two impossible things we've seen so far tonight.Don't you love it when that happens? [MARTHA] That means Lazarus has changed his own molecular patterns. [DOCTOR] Hypersonic sound waves to destabilise the cell structure, thena metagenic programme to manipulate the coding in the protein strands.Basically, he hacked into his own genes and instructed them torejuvenate. [MARTHA] But they're still mutating now. [DOCTOR] Because he missed something. Something in his DNA has beenactivated and won't let him stabilise. Something that's trying tochange him. [MARTHA] Change him into what? [DOCTOR] I don't know, but I think we need to find out. [MARTHA] That woman said they were going upstairs. [DOCTOR] Let's go. --------------------------------------- (Lazarus' office) [LADY THAW] It's me who made this all possible. Thisis my triumph, and I will not be denied, not by you, not aftereverything I've done. [LAZARUS] You backed me because you saw a profit. Your concern wasfinancial. [LADY THAW] Well, you want the money as much as I do. We had a plan. [LADY THAW] When the device is ready, I'll be rejuvenated, too. We couldbe rich and young and together. [LAZARUS] You think I'd waste another lifetime on you? [LADY THAW] Did that process make you even more cruel? [LAZARUS] No, my love. That I learnt from you. You have a gift for it. [LADY THAW] Then you know that I'll protect my involvement in theproject. I'm sure Mister Saxon will be interested [LADY THAW] What's going on? [LAZARUS] It must just be, ah! [LADY THAW] What is it? [LAZARUS] I'll be fine in a moment. It's probably just cramp. [LADY THAW] Oh! Richard! Is it some sort of seizure? What should I do? Idon't understand what's happening. Richard. --------------------------------------- (Reception room) [FRANCINE] Tish! Have you seen Martha and that Doctor anywhere? [TISH] Not since the demonstration. [FRANCINE] Do you know anything about him? Has she ever mentioned himbefore? [TISH] Not to me. [FRANCINE] The way she followed him. [TISH] She's a doctor. She was just doing her job. [FRANCINE] She's not a doctor yet. Never will be, if she doesn't stayfocused. [LEO] Look, she's found a bloke. So what? [FRANCINE] There's something going on, Leo, I can feel it. [LAZARUS] Leticia Jones. I'd recognize the smell of that soap anywhere. [TISH] Professor. [LAZARUS] I'm sorry, ladies and gentlemen, you'll have to excuse mewhile I take care of Leticia here. I've been neglecting her. --------------------------------------- (Lazarus' office) [MARTHA] This is his office, all right. [DOCTOR] So where is he? [MARTHA] Don't know. Let's try back at the reception. [MARTHA] Is that Lady Thaw? [DOCTOR] Used to be. Now it's just a shell. Had all the life energydrained out, like squeezing the juice out of an orange. [MARTHA] Lazarus? [DOCTOR] Could be. [MARTHA] So he's changed already? [DOCTOR] Not necessarily. You saw the DNA. It was fluctuating. Theprocess must demand energy. This might not have been enough. [MARTHA] So he might do this again? [DOCTOR] Mmm. --------------------------------------- (By the lifts) [LAZARUS] You seem very young to have such a responsible position. Haveyou much experience? [TISH] Not really. But the interview panel thought I had all thenecessary attributes. [LAZARUS] How perceptive of them. [TISH] So where are you taking me? [LAZARUS] Up to the roof. It's a lovely evening. I thought I'd show youthe view. It's extraordinary. [TISH] Like a lot of things around here, then. --------------------------------------- (Reception room) [MARTHA] I can't see him. [DOCTOR] He can't be far. Keep looking. [LEO] Hey, you all right, Marth? I think Mum wants to talk to you. [MARTHA] Have you see Lazarus anywhere? [LEO] Yeah, well, he was getting cosy with Tish a couple of minutes ago. [MARTHA] With Tish? [FRANCINE] Ah, Doctor. [DOCTOR] Where did they go? [LEO] Upstairs, I think. Why? [FRANCINE] Doctor [FRANCINE] I'm speaking to you! [MARTHA] Not now, Mum. [MAN] I think you need one of these. [FRANCINE] Thank you. That's very kind of you. [MAN] Do you know that man? [FRANCINE] No. He's a friend of my daughter's. [MAN] Perhaps she should choose her friends more carefully. --------------------------------------- (Lazarus' office) [MARTHA] Where are they? [DOCTOR] Fluctuating DNA will give off an energy signature. I might beable to pick it up. [DOCTOR] Got him. [MARTHA] Where? [MARTHA] But this is the top floor. The roof. --------------------------------------- (Roof) [TISH] That clock tower's beautiful all lit up like that. [LAZARUS] It's Southwark Cathedral. One of the oldest churches inLondon. Been around even longer than I have. [TISH] Well, you're looking pretty good for your age. [LAZARUS] Thank you. [TISH] Can I? [LAZARUS] Of course. [TISH] Still can't take it in. [LAZARUS] I'm still adjusting myself. I've been working toward it for somany years, it's hard to believe the moment's finally arrived. [TISH] And is it like you expected? [LAZARUS] I find that nothing's ever exactly like you expect. There'salways something to surprise you. Between the idea and the reality,between the motion and the act [DOCTOR] Falls the Shadow. [LAZARUS] So the mysterious Doctor knows his Eliot. I'm impressed. [TISH] Martha, what are you doing here? [MARTHA] Tish, get away from him. [TISH] What? Don't tell me what to do. [DOCTOR] I wouldn't have thought you had time for poetry, Lazarus, whatwith you being busy defying the laws of nature and all. [LAZARUS] You're right, Doctor. One lifetime's been too short for me todo everything I'd like. How much more I'll get done in two or three orfour. [DOCTOR] Doesn't work like that. Some people live more in twenty yearsthan others do in eighty. It's not the time that matters, it's theperson. [LAZARUS] But if it's the right person, what a gift that would be. [DOCTOR] Or what a curse. Look at what you've done to yourself. [LAZARUS] Who are you to judge me? [MARTHA] Over here, Tish. [TISH] You have to spoil everything, don't you? Every time I findsomeone nice, you have to go and find fault. [MARTHA] Tish, he's a monster! [TISH] I know the age thing's a bit freaky, but it works for CatherineZeta-Jones. [TISH] What's that? [DOCTOR] Run! --------------------------------------- (By the lifts) [MARTHA] Are you okay? [TISH] I was going to snog him. [TANNOY] Security one. Security one. Security one. [MARTHA] What's happening? [TISH] An intrusion. It triggers a security lockdown. Kills most of thepower. Stops the lifts, seals the exits. [DOCTOR] He must be breaking through that door. The stairs, come on! --------------------------------------- (Stairwell) [MARTHA] He's inside! [DOCTOR] We haven't got much time! --------------------------------------- (Reception room) [DOCTOR] Tish, is there another way out of here? [TISH] There's an exit in the corner, but it'll be locked now. [DOCTOR] Martha, setting fifty four. Hurry. [DOCTOR] Listen to me! You people are in serious danger! You need to getout of here right now! [WOMAN] Don't be ridiculous. The biggest danger here is choking on anolive. [LEO] Mum, get back! [FRANCINE] Leo! [MARTHA] Over here! This way! Everyone downstairs now! Hurry! [DOCTOR] No! Get away from her! [FRANCINE] Leo. Leo. [DOCTOR] Lazarus! Leave them alone. [FRANCINE] Martha. [MARTHA] Come on, stay with me. You're okay. [DOCTOR] What's the point? You can't control it. The mutation's toostrong. Killing those people won't help you. You're a fool. A vain oldman who thought he could defy nature. Only Nature got her own back,didn't she? You're a joke, Lazarus! A footnote in the history offailure! [TISH] What's the Doctor doing? [MARTHA] He's trying to buy us some time. Let's not waste it. Leo, lookat me. Focus on me. Let's see your eyes. He's got concussion. Mum,you'll need to help him downstairs. [MARTHA] This'll keep the swelling down. Go! I'll be right behind you.Tish, move! We need to get out of here. --------------------------------------- (Basement) [LAZARUS] It's no good, Doctor. You can't stop me. [DOCTOR] Is that the same arrogance you had when you swore nothing hadgone wrong with your device? [LAZARUS] The arrogance is yours. You can't stand in the way ofprogress. [DOCTOR] You call feeding on innocent people progress? You'redelusional! [LAZARUS] It is a necessary sacrifice. [DOCTOR] That's not your decision to make. --------------------------------------- (Main entrance) [TISH] We can't get out. We're trapped! [MARTHA] There must be an override switch. Where's the security desk?Tish! [TISH] There. --------------------------------------- (Basement) [LAZARUS] Peek a boo. [DOCTOR] Oh, hello. --------------------------------------- (Main entrance) [MARTHA] I've got to go back. [FRANCINE] You can't! You saw what that thing did. It'll kill you. [MARTHA] I don't care. I have to go. [FRANCINE] It's that Doctor, isn't it? That's what's happened to you.That's why you've changed. [TISH] He was buying us time, Martha. Time for you to get out, too. [MARTHA] I'm not leaving him. [FRANCINE] Martha! --------------------------------------- (Laboratory) [LAZARUS] More hide and seek, Doctor? How disappointing. Why don't youcome out and face me? [DOCTOR] Have you looked in the mirror lately? Why would I want to facethat, hmm? --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [DOCTOR] What are you doing here? [MARTHA] I'm returning this. I thought you might need it. [DOCTOR] How did you? [MARTHA] I heard the explosion. I guessed it was you. [DOCTOR] I blasted Lazarus. [MARTHA] Did you kill him? [DOCTOR] More sort of annoyed him, I'd say. --------------------------------------- (Outside the building) [TISH] She'll be all right. The Doctor and her,they'll look out for each other. [FRANCINE] She turned her back on us, went in there with that thing forhim. [LEO] He must be some guy. [TISH] Maybe she loves him. [FRANCINE] She just met him. [MAN] Is you daughter still in there with the Doctor? [FRANCINE] Do you know him? [MAN] He's dangerous. There are things you should know. [FRANCINE] What things? --------------------------------------- (Reception room) [MARTHA] What now? We've just gone round in acircle. [DOCTOR] We can't lead him outside. Come on, get in. --------------------------------------- (Chamber) [MARTHA] Are we hiding? [DOCTOR] No, he knows we're here. But this is his masterpiece. I'mbetting he won't destroy it, not even to get at us. [MARTHA] But we're trapped. [DOCTOR] Well, yeah, that's a slight problem. [MARTHA] You mean you don't have a plan? [DOCTOR] Yes, the plan was to get inside here. [MARTHA] Then what? [DOCTOR] Well, then I'd come up with another plan. [MARTHA] In your own time, then. [MARTHA] Hey! [DOCTOR] Sorry, sorry, sorry. [DOCTOR] Here we are. [MARTHA] What're you going to do with that? [DOCTOR] Improvise. [MARTHA] I still don't understand where that thing came from. Is italien? [DOCTOR] No, for once it's strictly human in origin. [MARTHA] Human? How can it be human? [DOCTOR] Probably from dormant genes in Lazarus's DNA. The energy fieldin this thing must have reactivated them. And it looks like they'rebecoming dominant. [MARTHA] So it's a throwback. [DOCTOR] Some option that evolution rejected for you millions of yearsago, but the potential is still there. Locked away in your genes,forgotten about until Lazarus unlocked it by mistake. [MARTHA] It's like Pandora's box. [DOCTOR] Exactly. Nice shoes, by the way. [MARTHA] Doctor, what's happening? [DOCTOR] Sounds like he's switched the machine on. [MARTHA] And that's not good, is it? [DOCTOR] Well, I was hoping it was going to take him a little bit longerto work that out. [MARTHA] I don't want to hurry you, but [DOCTOR] I know, I know. Nearly done. [MARTHA] Well, what're you doing? [DOCTOR] I'm trying to set the capsule to reflect energy rather thanreceive it. [MARTHA] Will that kill it? [DOCTOR] When he transforms, he's three times his size. Cellulartriplication. So he's spreading himself thin. [MARTHA] We're going to end up like him! [DOCTOR] Just one more! --------------------------------------- (Reception room) [MARTHA] I thought we were going to go through the blender then. [DOCTOR] Really shouldn't take that long just to reverse the polarity. Imust be a bit out of practice. [MARTHA] Oh, God. He seems so human again. It's kind of pitiful. [DOCTOR] Eliot saw that, too. This is the way the world ends. Not with abang, but with a whimper. --------------------------------------- (Outside the building) [TISH] She's here. Oh, she's all right. [DOCTOR] Ah, Mrs Jones. We still haven't finished our chat. [FRANCINE] Keep away from my daughter. [MARTHA] Mum, what are you doing? [DOCTOR] All of the mothers, every time. [FRANCINE] He is dangerous. I've been told things. [MARTHA] What are you talking about? [FRANCINE] Look around you. Nothing but death and destruction. [MARTHA] This isn't his fault. He saved us, all of us! [LEO] And it was Tish who invited everyone to this thing in the firstplace. I'd say technically, it's her fault. [FRANCINE] Leave him. [TISH] Martha? [FRANCINE] Not you, too? [TISH] Sorry. --------------------------------------- (Street) [DOCTOR] Lazarus, back from the dead. Should have known, really. [MARTHA] Where's he gone? [DOCTOR] That way. The church. [TISH] Cathedral. It's Southwark Cathedral. He told me. --------------------------------------- (Southwark Cathedral) [MARTHA] Do you think he's in here? [DOCTOR] Where would you go if you were looking for sanctuary? [LAZARUS] I came here before, a lifetime ago. I thought I was going todie then. In fact, I was sure of it. I sat here, just a child, thesound of planes and bombs outside. [DOCTOR] The Blitz. [LAZARUS] You've read about it. [DOCTOR] I was there. [LAZARUS] You're too young. [DOCTOR] So are you. [LAZARUS] In the morning, the fires had died, and I was still alive. Iswore I'd never face death like that again. So defenceless. I would armmyself, fight back, defeat it. [DOCTOR] That's what you were trying to do today? [LAZARUS] That's what I did today. [DOCTOR] What about the other people who died? [LAZARUS] They were nothing. I changed the course of history. [DOCTOR] Any of them might have done too. You think history's only madewith equations? Facing death is part of being human. You can't changethat. [LAZARUS] No, Doctor. Avoiding death, that's being human. It's ourstrongest impulse, to cling to life with every fibre of being. I'm onlydoing what everyone before me has tried to do. I've simply been moresuccessful. [DOCTOR] Look at yourself. You're mutating! You've no control over it.You call that a success? [LAZARUS] I call it progress. I'm more now that I was. More than just anordinary human. [DOCTOR] There's no such thing as an ordinary human. [MARTHA] (sotto) He's going to change again any minute. [DOCTOR] (sotto) I know. If I can get him up into the bell towersomehow, I've an idea that might work. [MARTHA] (sotto) Up there? [LAZARUS] You're so sentimental, Doctor. Maybe you are older than youlook. [DOCTOR] I'm old enough to know that a longer life isn't always a betterone. In the end, you just get tired. Tired of the struggle, tired oflosing everyone that matters to you, tired of watching everything turnto dust. If you live long enough, Lazarus, the only certainty left isthat you'll end up alone. [LAZARUS] That's a price worth paying. [DOCTOR] Is it? [LAZARUS] I will feed soon. [DOCTOR] I'm not going to let that happen. [LAZARUS] You've not been able to stop me so far. [MARTHA] Leave him, Lazarus! He's old and bitter. I thought you had ataste for fresher meat. [DOCTOR] Martha, no. [MARTHA] What are you doing? [TISH] Keeping you out of trouble! [MARTHA] Doctor! The tower! --------------------------------------- (Staircase) [TISH] Did you hear that? [MARTHA] He's changed again. Keep moving. We've got to lead him up. --------------------------------------- (Southwark Cathedral) [DOCTOR] Where are they? Martha?! [MARTHA] Doctor! [DOCTOR] Take him to the top. The very top of the bell tower, do youhear me?! [MARTHA] Up to the top! [TISH] Martha. [MARTHA] Then what? [TISH] Martha, come on! --------------------------------------- (Organ loft) [DOCTOR] Hypersonic sound waves. Inspired. --------------------------------------- (Bell tower) [TISH] There's nowhere to go. We're trapped! [MARTHA] This is where he said to bring him. [TISH] All right, so then we're not trapped. We're bait. [MARTHA] He knows what he's doing. We have to trust him. [LAZARUS] Ladies. [MARTHA] Stay behind me. If he takes me, make a run for it. Head downthe stairs. You should have enough time. [TISH] But [MARTHA] Just do it, Tish! --------------------------------------- (Organ loft) [DOCTOR] I hope it's a good acoustic in here. --------------------------------------- (Bell tower) [TISH] Martha! [TISH] Hold on! Get away from her! --------------------------------------- (Organ loft) [DOCTOR] We need to turn this up to eleven. --------------------------------------- (Bell tower) [TISH] I've got you. Hold on. --------------------------------------- (Organ loft) [DOCTOR] Martha? --------------------------------------- (Bell tower) [MARTHA] I'm okay! --------------------------------------- (Organ loft) [MARTHA [OC]] We're both okay! --------------------------------------- (Bell tower) [MARTHA] Thanks. [TISH] It's your Doctor you should be thanking. [MARTHA] I told you he'd think of something. [TISH] He cut it a bit fine there, didn't he? [MARTHA] He always does. It's more fun that way. [TISH] Who is he? [MARTHA] He's, he's the Doctor. --------------------------------------- (Southwark Cathedral) [MARTHA] I didn't know you could play? [DOCTOR] Oh, well, you know, if you hang around with Beethoven, you'rebound to pick a few things up. [MARTHA] Hmm. Especially about playing loud. [DOCTOR] Sorry? --------------------------------------- (Martha's home) [DOCTOR] Something else that just kind of escalated, then. [MARTHA] I can see a pattern developing. You should take more care inthe future. And the past. And whatever other time period you findyourself in. [DOCTOR] It's good fun, though, isn't it? [MARTHA] Yeah. [DOCTOR] So, what do you say, one more trip? [MARTHA] No. Sorry. [DOCTOR] What do you mean? I thought you liked it. [MARTHA] I do, but I can't go on like this. One more trip. It's notfair. [DOCTOR] What're you talking about? [MARTHA] I don't want to be just a passenger anymore. Someone you takealong for a treat. If that's how you still see me, I'd rather stayhere. [DOCTOR] Okay, then. If that's what you want. [MARTHA] Right. But we've already said goodbye once today. It's probablybest if you just go. [MARTHA] What is it? [DOCTOR] What? I said okay. [MARTHA] Sorry? [DOCTOR] Okay. [MARTHA] Oh, thank you, thank you! [DOCTOR] Well, you were never really just a passenger, were you? [MARTHA [on machine]] Hi, I'm out. Leave a message. [FRANCINE [on machine]] Martha, it's your mother. Please phone me back.I'm begging you. I know who this Doctor really is. I know he'sdangerous. You're going to get yourself killed. Please, trust me. Thisinformation comes from Harold Saxon himself. You're not safe!

Doctor Who (19 May, 2007; Tenth Doctor) - 42 [DOCTOR] Right, there we go. Universal roaming. Never have to worryabout a signal again. [MARTHA] No way. This is too mad. You're telling me I can phone anyone,anywhere in space and time on my mobile? [DOCTOR] As long as you know the area code. Frequent flier's privilege.Go on, try it. [DOCTOR] Distress signal. Locking on. Might be a bit of [DOCTOR] Turbulence. Sorry. Come on, Martha. Let's take a look. --------------------------------------- (Area 30) [COMPUTER] Distress signal transmitted. [DOCTOR] Whoa, now that is hot. [COMPUTER] Automated distress signal transmitted. [MARTHA] Whuff, it's like a sauna in here. [DOCTOR] Venting systems. Working at full pelt, trying to cool down.Wherever it is we are. Well, if you can't stand the heat --------------------------------------- (Area 29) [RILEY] (a young man) Oi, you two! [McDONNELL] (a woman) Get out of there! [RILEY] Seal that door, now! [McDONNELL] Who are you? What are you doing on my ship? [RILEY] Are you police? [DOCTOR] Why would we be police? [MARTHA] We got your distress signal. [DOCTOR] If this is a ship, why can't I hear any engines? [McDONNELL] It went dead four minutes ago. [SCANNELL] So maybe we should stop chatting and get to Engineering.Captain. [COMPUTER] Secure closure active. [McDONNELL] What? [SCANNELL] The ship's gone mad. [ERINA] [ERINA] Who are you? [MARTHA] He's the Doctor and I'm Martha. Hello. [COMPUTER] Impact projection forty two minutes twenty seven seconds. [McDONNELL] We'll get out of this. I promise. [MARTHA] Doctor. [DOCTOR] Forty two minutes until what? [MARTHA] Doctor! Look. [McDONNELL] Forty two minutes until we crash into the sun. [DOCTOR] How many crew members on board? [McDONNELL] Seven, including us. [SCANNELL] We transport cargo across the galaxy. Everything's automated.We just keep the ship spaceworthy. [DOCTOR] Call the others, I'll get you out. [RILEY] What's he doing? [McDONNELL] No, don't! [DOCTOR] But my ship's in there! [RILEY] In the vent chamber? [DOCTOR] It's our lifeboat. [SCANNELL] It's lava. [ERINA] The temperature's going mad in there. Up three thousand degreesin ten seconds, and still rising. [RILEY] Channelling the air. The closer we get to the sun, the hotterthat room'sgoing to get. [MARTHA] We're stuck here. [DOCTOR] So, we fix the engines, we steer the ship away from the sun.Simple. Engineering down here, is it? [McDONNELL] Yes. [COMPUTER] Impact in forty twenty six. --------------------------------------- (Engineering) [DOCTOR] Blimey, do you always leave things in sucha mess? [McDONNELL] Oh, my God. [SCANNELL] What the hell happened? [RILEY] Oh, it's wrecked. [DOCTOR] Pretty efficiently too. Someone knew what they were doing. [McDONNELL] Where's Korwin? Has anyone heard from him or Ashton? [SCANNELL] No. [MARTHA] You mean someone did this on purpose? [McDONNELL] Korwin, Ashton? Where are you? Korwin, can you answer? Wherethe hell is he? He should be up here. [DOCTOR] Oh, we're in the Torajii system. Lovely. You're a long way fromhome, Martha. Half a universe away. [MARTHA] Yeah. Feels it. [DOCTOR] And you're still using energy scoops for fusion? Hasn't thatbeen outlawed yet? [McDONNELL] We're due to upgrade next docking. Scannell, engine report. [SCANNELL] No response. [McDONNELL] What? [SCANNELL] They're burnt out. The controls are wrecked. I can't get themback online. [DOCTOR] Oh, come on. Auxiliary engines. Every craft's got auxiliaries. [McDONNELL] We don't have access from here. The auxiliary controls arein the front of the ship. [SCANNELL] Yeah, with twenty nine password sealed doors between us andthem. You'll never get there in time. [MARTHA] Can't you override the doors? [SCANNELL] No. Sealed closure means what it says. They're all dead-locksealed. [DOCTOR] So a sonic screwdriver's no use. [SCANNELL] Nothing's any use. We've got no engines, no time, and nochance. [DOCTOR] Oh, listen to you. Defeated before you've even started. Where'syour Dunkirk spirit? Who's got the door passwords? [RILEY] They're randomly generated. Reckon I know most of them. Sorry.Riley Vashti. [DOCTOR] Then what're you waiting for, Riley Vashti? Get on it. [RILEY] Well, it's a two person job. One, a technish for the questions,and the other to carry this. The oldest and cheapest security systemaround, eh, Captain? [McDONNELL] Reliable and simple, just like you, eh, Riley? [RILEY] Try and be helpful, get abuse. Nice. [MARTHA] I'll help you. Make myself useful. [RILEY] It's remotely controlled by the computer panel. That's why itneeds two. [DOCTOR] Oi. Be careful. [MARTHA] You too. [ASHTON [OC]] McDonnell. It's Ashton. [McDONNELL] Where are you? Is Korwin with you? [ASHTON [OC]] Get up to the med-centre now! [COMPUTER] Impact in thirty four thirty one. --------------------------------------- (Med-centre) [KORWIN] Argh! Stop it! [ABI] Korwin, it's Abi. Open your eyes, I need to take a look at you. [McDONNELL] Korwin! What's happened? Is he okay? [KORWIN] Help me! It's burning me! [DOCTOR] How long's he been like this? [ABI] Ashton just brought him in. [McDONNELL] What are you doing? [DOCTOR] Don't get too close. [McDONNELL] Don't be so stupid. That's my husband. [ASHTON] And he's just sabotaged our ship. [McDONNELL] What? [ASHTON] He went mad. He put the ship onto secure closure, then he setthe heat pulse to melt the controls. [McDONNELL] No way. He wouldn't do that. [ASHTON] I saw it happen, Captain. [DOCTOR] Korwin? Korwin, open your eyes for me a second. [KORWIN] I can't! [DOCTOR] Yeah, course you can. Go on. [KORWIN] Don't make me look at you, please. [DOCTOR] All right, all right, all right. Just relax. Sedative? [ABI] Yes. [McDONNELL] What's wrong with him? [DOCTOR] Rising body temperature, unusual energy readings. Stasischamber. I do love a good stasis chamber. Keep him sedated in there.Regulate the body temperature. And, just for fun, run a bioscan andtissue profile on a metabolic detail. [ABI] Just doing them now. [DOCTOR] Oh, you're good. Anyone else presenting these symptoms? [ABI] Not so far. [DOCTOR] Well, that's something. [McDONNELL] Will someone tell me what is the matter with him? [DOCTOR] Some sort of infection. We'll know more after the test results.Now, allons-y, back downstairs. Hey. See about those engines. Go. Hey.Go. [DOCTOR] Call us if there's news. Any questions? [ABI] Yeah. Who are you? [DOCTOR] I'm the Doctor. [COMPUTER] Heat shield failing. At twenty-five percent. Impact in thirtytwo fifty. --------------------------------------- (Area 29) [MARTHA] Hurry up, will you? [RILEY] All right. Fix the clamp on. [MARTHA] What are you typing? [RILEY] Each door's trip code is the answer to a random question set bythe crew. Nine tours back, we got drunk, thought them up. Reckoningwas, if we're hijacked, we're the only ones who know all the answers. [MARTHA] So you type in the right answer [RILEY] This sends an unlock pulse to the clamp. But we only get onechance per door. Get it wrong, the whole system freezes. [MARTHA] Better not get it wrong then. [RILEY] Okay. Date of SS Pentallian's first flight. That's all right.Go! [MARTHA] Yes! [RILEY] Twenty eight more to go! --------------------------------------- (Med-centre) [DOCTOR [OC]] Abi, how's Korwin doing? Any resultsfrom the bio-scan? [ABI] He's under heavy sedation. I'm just trying to make sense of thisdata. Give me a couple of minutes and I'll let you know. --------------------------------------- (Engineering) [DOCTOR] Martha? Riley? How're you doing? --------------------------------------- (Area 28) [MARTHA] Area twenty nine --------------------------------------- (Engineering) [MARTHA [OC]] At the door to twenty eight. [DOCTOR] Yeah, you've --------------------------------------- (Area 28) [DOCTOR [OC]] Got to move faster. [MARTHA] We're doing our best. [RILEY] Find the next number in the sequence three one three --------------------------------------- (Engineering) [RILEY [OC]] Three three one, three six seven. --------------------------------------- (Area 28) [RILEY] What? [MARTHA] You said the crew knew all the answers. [RILEY] The crew's changed since we set the questions. [MARTHA] You're joking. --------------------------------------- (Engineering) [DOCTOR] Three seven nine. [MARTHA [OC]] What? [DOCTOR] It's a sequence of --------------------------------------- (Area 28) [DOCTOR [OC]] Happy primes. Three seven nine. [MARTHA] Happy what? --------------------------------------- (Engineering) [DOCTOR] Just enter it. --------------------------------------- (Area 28) [RILEY] Are you sure? We only get one chance. --------------------------------------- (Engineering) [DOCTOR] Any number that reduces to one when youtake the sum of the square of its digits --------------------------------------- (Area 28) [DOCTOR [OC]] And you continue iterating until ityields one is a happy number. --------------------------------------- (Engineering) [DOCTOR] Any number that doesn't, isn't. A happyprime is a number that is both happy and prime. Now type it in! I don'tknow, talk about dumbing down! Don't they teach recreationalmathematics any more? --------------------------------------- (Area 28) [MARTHA] We're through! [DOCTOR [OC]] Keep moving, fast as you can. --------------------------------------- (Engineering) [DOCTOR] And, Martha, be careful. --------------------------------------- (Area 28) [DOCTOR [OC]] There may be something else on boardthis ship. [MARTHA] Any time you want to unnerve me, feel free. --------------------------------------- (Engineering) [DOCTOR] Will do, thanks. [COMPUTER] Impact in thirty fifty. --------------------------------------- (Area 27) [MARTHA] I can't believe our lives depend on somestupid pub quiz. Is that the next one? [RILEY] Oh, this is a nightmare. Classical music. Who had the mostpre-download number ones, Elvis Presley or The Be-atles? How are wesupposed to know that? --------------------------------------- (Engineering) [DOCTOR] We need a backup in case they don't reachthe auxiliary engines in time. Come on, think. Resources. What have wegot? [MARTHA [OC]] Doctor? [DOCTOR] What is it now? --------------------------------------- (Area 27) [MARTHA] Who had the most number ones, Elvis --------------------------------------- (Engineering) [MARTHA [OC]] Or the Beatles. That's pre-download. [DOCTOR] Elvis. --------------------------------------- (Area 27) [DOCTOR [OC]] No! The Beatles! --------------------------------------- (Engineering) [DOCTOR] No! Wait! Er, er. Oh, what was that remix?Er, I don't know. I am a bit busy. --------------------------------------- (Area 27) [MARTHA] Fine. I'll ask someone else. --------------------------------------- (Engineering) [DOCTOR] Now, where was I? Here comes the sun. No,resources. So, the power's still working, the generator's going. If wecan harness that. Ah! [McDONNELL] Use the generator to jump-start the ship. [DOCTOR] Exactly. At the very least, it'll buy us some more time. [McDONNELL] That is brilliant. [DOCTOR] I know. See? Tiny glimmer of hope. [SCANNELL] If it works. [McDONNELL] Oh, believe me. You're going to make it work. [DOCTOR] That told him. [COMPUTER] Impact in twenty nine forty six. --------------------------------------- (Francine's home) [FRANCINE] Hello? [MARTHA [OC]] Mum? It's me. --------------------------------------- (Area 27) [MARTHA] It's Martha. Wow! [FRANCINE [OC]] Where are you? --------------------------------------- (Francine's home) [FRANCINE] Don't you check your messages? I've beencalling you. --------------------------------------- (Area 27) [MARTHA] Actually, a bit busy. Need you to dosomething --------------------------------------- (Francine's home) [MARTHA [OC]] For me. [FRANCINE] No, listen to me. --------------------------------------- (Francine's home) [FRANCINE] We have to talk --------------------------------------- (Area 27) [FRANCINE [OC]] About this Doctor. [MARTHA] Mum, please, not now. I need you to look something up on theinternet. --------------------------------------- (Francine's home) [FRANCINE] Do it yourself. You've got a computer. --------------------------------------- (Area 27) [MARTHA] Oh, just do it, will you? Please. --------------------------------------- (Francine's home) [FRANCINE] When did you get so rude? I'll tell youwhen. Ever since you met that man. [MARTHA] I need to know who had more number ones. --------------------------------------- (Area 27) [MARTHA] The Beatles or Elvis? --------------------------------------- (Francine's home) [FRANCINE] Hang on, the mouse is unplugged. Okay,I'm on. --------------------------------------- (Area 27) [FRANCINE [OC]] What is this, a pub quiz? [MARTHA] Yeah, a pub quiz. --------------------------------------- (Francine's home) [FRANCINE] Using your mobile is cheating. --------------------------------------- (Area 27) [MARTHA] Have you found it? [FRANCINE [OC]] There's over four hundred thousand results. Give me aminute. [COMPUTER] Impact in twenty eight fifty. --------------------------------------- (Med-centre) [ABI] Doctor, these readings are starting to scareme. --------------------------------------- (Engineering) [DOCTOR] What do you mean? [ABI [OC]] Well, Korwin's body's changing. His whole biological make-up. --------------------------------------- (Med-centre) [ABI] It's impossible. [ABI] This is Med-centre. Urgent assistance requested. --------------------------------------- (Engineering) [ABI [OC]] Urgent assistance! [DOCTOR] Stay here! Keep working! --------------------------------------- (Med-centre) [ABI] Urgent assistance! --------------------------------------- (Engineering) [ERINA] Abi, they're on their way. --------------------------------------- (Med-centre) [ABI] What's happening to you? [KORWIN] Burn with me. --------------------------------------- (Area 27) [KORWIN [OC]] Burn with me. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [SCANNELL] Captain? [DOCTOR] I told you to stay in Engineering. [SCANNELL] I only take orders form one person round here. [DOCTOR] Oh, is he always this cheery? --------------------------------------- (Francine's home) [FRANCINE] Elvis. --------------------------------------- (Area 27) [MARTHA] What? Really. Elvis. --------------------------------------- (Med-centre) [KORWIN] Burn with me. [ABI] Korwin, you're sick. [KORWIN] Burn with me! --------------------------------------- (Area 27) [MARTHA] Mum, you're a star! --------------------------------------- (Francine's home) [FRANCINE] Now, we need to have a serious [FRANCINE] What was that? --------------------------------------- (Area 26) [MARTHA] I've got to go. [MARTHA] Doctor, what were those screams? --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [DOCTOR] Concentrate on those doors. You've got tokeep moving --------------------------------------- (Area 26) [DOCTOR [OC]] Forward. [COMPUTER] Impact in twenty seven oh six. --------------------------------------- (Med-centre) [McDONNELL] Korwin's gone. [SCANNELL] Oh, my God. [SCANNELL] Tell me that's not Lerner. [DOCTOR] Endothermic vaporisation. I've never seen one this ferocious.Burn with me. [SCANNELL] That's what we heard Korwin say. [McDONNELL] What? Do you think? No way. Scannell, tell him. Korwin isnot a killer. He can't vaporise people. He's human! [DOCTOR] His bioscan results. Internal temperature, one hundred degrees!Body oxygen replaced by hydrogen. Your husband hasn't been infected,he's been overwhelmed. [McDONNELL] The test results are wrong. [DOCTOR] But what is it, though? A parasite? A mutagenic virus?Something that needs a host body, but how did it get inside him? [McDONNELL] Stop talking like he's some kind of experiment. [DOCTOR] Where's the ship been? Have you made planet-fall recently?Docked with any other vessels? Any kind of external contact at all? [McDONNELL] What is this, an interrogation? [DOCTOR] We've got to stop him before he kills again. [McDONNELL] We're just a cargo ship. [SCANNELL] Doctor, if you give her a minute. [McDONNELL] I'm fine. I need to warn the crew. Everybody, listen to me.Something has infected Korwin. We think he killed Abi Lerner. None ofyou must go anywhere near him, is that clear? --------------------------------------- (Engineering) [ASHTON] Understood, Captain. Erina? Get back herewith that equipment. --------------------------------------- (Storage area) [ERINA] Whatever you say, boss. Go there. Come back. Fetch this. Carrythese. Make drinks. Sweep up. Please, kill me now. [KORWIN] Burn with me. Burn with me. [COMPUTER] Impact in twenty four fifty one. --------------------------------------- (Med-centre) [McDONNELL] Is the infection permanent? Can you curehim? [DOCTOR] I don't know. [McDONNELL] Don't lie to me, Doctor. Eleven years we've been married. Wechose this ship together. He keeps me honest, so I don't want falsehope. [DOCTOR] The parasite's too aggressive. Your husband's gone. There's noway back. I'm sorry. [McDONNELL] Thank you. [DOCTOR] Are you certain nothing happened to provoke this? Nobody'sworking on anything secret? Because it's vital that you tell me. [McDONNELL] I know every inch of this ship. I know every detail of mycrew's lives. There is nothing. [DOCTOR] Then why is this thing so interested in you? [McDONNELL] I wish I knew. --------------------------------------- (Engineering) [MARTHA [OC]] Doctor, we're through to areaseventeen. [DOCTOR [OC]] Keep going. --------------------------------------- (Area 16) [DOCTOR [OC]] You've got to get to area one andreboot those engines. --------------------------------------- (Engineering) [ASHTON] You got those tools, Erina? Because I [ASHTON] Whoa! [ASHTON] Korwin, it's me. We're mates. [KORWIN] They are getting too far. We must share the light. [COMPUTER] Heat shields failing. At twenty percent. --------------------------------------- (Area 17) [RILEY] Come on! [RILEY] Everything on this ship is so cheap. [RILEY] Who's there? [MARTHA] Is that Korwin? [RILEY] No, wait a minute. [RILEY] Oh, Ashton, what're you doing? [ASHTON] Burn with me. [RILEY] Well, if you want to help [ASHTON] Burn with me. Burn with me. [MARTHA] Move! Come on! --------------------------------------- (Escape pod) [RILEY] What is happening on this ship? [MARTHA] Never mind that, where are we? [COMPUTER] Airlock sealed. Jettison escape pod. [MARTHA] That doesn't mean us? Doctor! [COMPUTER] Pod jettison initiated. [MARTHA] Doctor! We're stuck in an escape pod off the area seventeenairlock. --------------------------------------- (Engineering) [MARTHA [OC]] One of the crew's trying to jettisonus! You've got to help us! --------------------------------------- (Escape pod) [MARTHA] Tell me you can stop it. --------------------------------------- (Storage area) [McDONNELL] Why is this happening? [DOCTOR] Stay here. I mean it this time! Jump start those engines! [McDONNELL] It's picking us off, one by one. --------------------------------------- (Escape pod) [COMPUTER] Jettison held. [RILEY] Thank you. [COMPUTER] Jettison reactivated. [RILEY] Come on. [RILEY] Tsilpinski sequence. This'll get him. [COMPUTER] Jettison held. Escape pod stabilised. [MARTHA] You're pretty good. --------------------------------------- (Engineering) [McDONNELL] Ashton! [SCANNELL] Someone's hacked into the systems. I can't reroute thegenerators. There's no way I'mgoing to be able to jump-start this ship! Who the hell did that! [McDONNELL] Korwin? What are you? Why are you killing my crew? What didyou do to him? What have you done to my husband? [McDONNELL] You recognise me. Korwin, you know me. It's Kath. Your wife. [KORWIN] My wife. [McDONNELL] That's right. You're still in there. I'm your wife. [KORWIN] It's your fault. --------------------------------------- (Area 17) [DOCTOR] That's enough! What do you want? Why this ship? Tell me. --------------------------------------- (Escape pod) [COMPUTER] Jettison activated. [RILEY] He's smashed the circuit. I can't stop it. I can't stop it! --------------------------------------- (Engineering) [McDONNELL] What do you mean, it's my fault? [KORWIN] It's your fault. Now burn with me! [McDONNELL] What are you doing? [SCANNELL] Freezing him. Ice vents. [McDONNELL] You'll kill him! --------------------------------------- (Area 17) [DOCTOR] Come on. Let's see you. I want to know whatyou really are. [COMPUTER] Airlock sealed. [DOCTOR] McDonnell? Ashton's heading in your direction. --------------------------------------- (Engineering) [SCANNELL] Korwin's dead, Doctor. --------------------------------------- (Escape pod) [MARTHA] This thing's locked! [COMPUTER] Airlock decompression completed. Jettisoning pod. [MARTHA] Doctor! [DOCTOR] I'll save you! [RILEY] Martha, it's too late. [MARTHA] Doctor! [DOCTOR] I'll save you! [MARTHA] I can't hear you! [DOCTOR [silent]] I'll save you! [MARTHA] I'm sorry. --------------------------------------- (Engineering) [COMPUTER] Impact in seventeen oh five. [SCANNELL] What did he mean, your fault? What are you doing? Don't touchhim. He's infected. We don't know how it spreads. [McDONNELL] You murdered him! [SCANNELL] He was about to kill you. [McDONNELL] He recognised me. [SCANNELL] You heard the Doctor. It… it isn't Korwin anymore. [McDONNELL] The Doctor doesn't know. None of us knows! [SCANNELL] So what are you going to do, sit there until we burn? Becausewithout you none of us stand a chance of getting out of here. [DOCTOR [OC]] Scannell! I need a spacesuit in area seventeen now! [SCANNELL] What for? --------------------------------------- (Area 17) [DOCTOR] Just get down here! --------------------------------------- (Engineering) [McDONNELL] Well, go on. Do what he says. [SCANNELL] Ashton's still out there. [McDONNELL] I'll deal with him. --------------------------------------- (Escape pod) [RILEY] The wonderful world of space travel. Theprettier it looks, the more likely it is to kill you. [MARTHA] He'll come for us. [RILEY] No, it's too late. Our heat shields will pack in any minute, andthen we go into free fall. We'll fall into the sun way before he has achance to do anything. [MARTHA] You don't know the Doctor. I believe in him. [RILEY] Then you're lucky. I've never found anyone worth believing in. [MARTHA] No girlfriend? Boyfriend? [RILEY] The job doesn't lend itself to stable relationships. [MARTHA] Family, then? [RILEY] My dad's dead, and I haven't seen my mum in six years. Shedidn't want me to sign up for cargo tours. Things were said, and sincethen, all silent. She wanted to hold on to me, I know that. Oh, she'sso stubborn. [MARTHA] Yeah, well, that's families. [RILEY] What about you? [MARTHA] Full works. Mum, Dad, Dad's girlfriend, brother, sister. Nosilence there. So much noise. Oh, God! They'll never know! I, I'll justhave disappeared, and they'll always be waiting. [RILEY] Call them. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [McDONNELL [OC]] Ashton. --------------------------------------- (Area 17) [SCANNELL] I can't let you do this. [DOCTOR] You're wasting your breath, Scannell. You're not going to stopme. [SCANNELL] You want to open an airlock in flight on a ship spinning intothe sun. No one can survive that. [DOCTOR] Oh, just you watch. [SCANNELL] You open that airlock, it's suicide. This close to the sun,the shields will barely protect you. [DOCTOR] If I can boost the magnetic lock on the ship's exterior, itshould remagnetise the pod. Now, while I'm out there, you have got toget the rest of those doors open. We need those auxiliary engines. [SCANNELL] Doctor, will you listen! They're too far away. It's too late. [DOCTOR] I'm not going to lose her. [COMPUTER] Decompression initiated. Impact in twelve fifty five. --------------------------------------- (Francine's home) [FRANCINE] Hello. [MARTHA [OC]] It's me again. --------------------------------------- (Escape pod) [MARTHA] Sorry about earlier. [FRANCINE [OC]] Is everything all right? [MARTHA] Yeah. Of course. --------------------------------------- (Francine's home) [FRANCINE] Martha? --------------------------------------- (Escape pod) [MARTHA] Mum, I. you know I love you, don't you? --------------------------------------- (Francine's home) [FRANCINE] Of course I do. What's bought this on? --------------------------------------- (Escape pod) [MARTHA] I never say it. I never get the time. Inever think of it, and then --------------------------------------- (Francine's home) [MARTHA [OC]] I really love you. Tell Dad, Leo andTish that I love them. [FRANCINE] Martha, what's wrong? [MARTHA [OC]] Nothing. I promise. [FRANCINE] Where are you? [MARTHA [OC]] Just out. [FRANCINE] With anyone nice? --------------------------------------- (Escape pod) [MARTHA] Some mates. [FRANCINE [OC]] What mates? [MARTHA] Mum, can we not just talk? --------------------------------------- (Francine's home) [FRANCINE] Of course. What do you want to talkabout? --------------------------------------- (Escape pod) [MARTHA] I don't know. Anything! What you had forbreakfast. What you watched on telly last night. How much you'regoing to kill Dad next time you see him. Just anything. --------------------------------------- (Francine's home) [FRANCINE] Is the Doctor with you? Is he there, now? --------------------------------------- (Escape pod) [MARTHA] Mum, just leave it. [FRANCINE [OC]] It's a simple enough question. [MARTHA] I'd better go. --------------------------------------- (Francine's home) [FRANCINE] Er, no, Martha, wait. --------------------------------------- (Escape pod) [MARTHA] See you, Mum. --------------------------------------- (Airlock) [COMPUTER] Impact in eleven fifteen. Heat shieldfailing. At ten percent. [DOCTOR] Come on! Go on, my son! [SCANNELL [OC]] Doctor, how're you doing? [DOCTOR] I can't, I can't reach! I don't know how much longer I canlast. [SCANNELL] Come on. Don't give up now. --------------------------------------- (Escape pod) [RILEY] We're being pulled back! [MARTHA] I told you! It's the Doctor! [DOCTOR] It's alive. It's alive. It's alive! --------------------------------------- (Area 10) [SCANNELL] Doctor, close the airlock now! That pod'sgoing to smash into him. [McDONNELL] Stay here. [COMPUTER] Impact in eight fifty seven. --------------------------------------- (Area 17) [COMPUTER] Airlock recompression completed. [MARTHA] Doctor! Doctor! Are you okay? [DOCTOR] Stay away from me! [McDONNELL] What's happened? [DOCTOR] It's your fault, Captain McDonnell! [McDONNELL] Riley, get down to area ten and help Scannell with thedoors. Go! [DOCTOR] You mined that sun. Stripped its surface for cheap fuel. Youshould have scanned for life! [McDONNELL] I don't understand. [MARTHA] Doctor, what are you talking about? [DOCTOR] That sun is alive. A living organism. They scooped out itsheart, used it for fuel, and now it's screaming! [McDONNELL] What do you mean? How can a sun be alive? Why is he sayingthat? [DOCTOR] Because it's living in me. [McDONNELL] Oh, my God. [DOCTOR] Humans! You grab whatever's nearest and bleed it dry! Youshould have scanned! [McDONNELL] It takes too long. We'd be caught. Fusion scoops areillegal. [DOCTOR] You've got to freeze me, quickly. [MARTHA] What? [DOCTOR] Stasis chamber. You've got to take it below minus two hundred.Freeze it out of me! It'll use me to kill you if you don't. The closerwe get to the sun, the stronger it gets! Med-centre, quickly! Quickly! [MARTHA] Help me! [COMPUTER] Impact in seven thirty. --------------------------------------- (Area 10) [SCANNELL] What's your favourite colour? [RILEY] You what? [SCANNELL] It's the question. [RILEY] Purple! Or did I say orange? [SCANNELL] Come on! --------------------------------------- (Med-centre) [MARTHA] I can do it! [DOCTOR] Martha, where are you? [MARTHA] It's all right, I'm here. Just help me get him up. Stasischamber, minus two hundred, yeah? [McDONNELL] No, you don't know how this equipment works. You'll killhim. Nobody can survive those temperatures. [MARTHA] He's not human. If he says he can survive, then he can. [McDONNELL] Let me help you, then. [MARTHA] You've done enough damage. [DOCTOR] Ten seconds. That's all I'll be able to take. No more. Martha! [MARTHA] Yeah? [DOCTOR] It's burning me up. I can't control it. If you don't get rid ofit, I could kill you. I could kill you all. I'm scared! I'm so scared! [MARTHA] Just stay calm. You saved me, now I return the favour. Justbelieve in me. [DOCTOR] It's burning through me. Then what'll happen? [MARTHA] That's enough! I've got you. [DOCTOR] There's this process, this thing that happens if I'm about todie. [MARTHA] Shush. Quiet now. Because that is not going to happen. Are youready? [DOCTOR] No. [COMPUTER] Heat shields failing. At five percent.(In Engineering, Korwin stands up just as a computer monitor reports -power drain medcentre stasis chamber active. He goes to a lever, pullsit up, and the monitor changes to stasis chamber inactive. The power iscut at minus 70 degrees. The Doctor is covered in frost.) [DOCTOR] No! Martha, you can't stop it. Not yet. [MARTHA] What happened? [McDONNELL] Power's been cut in Engineering. [MARTHA] But who's down there? [McDONNELL] Leave it to me. [COMPUTER] Impact in four forty seven. --------------------------------------- (Area 4) [SCANNELL] Are we going to do it in time? --------------------------------------- (Med-centre) [MARTHA] Come on. You're defrosting. [DOCTOR] Martha, listen! I've only got a moment. You've got to go! [MARTHA] No way. [DOCTOR] Get to the front. Vent the engines. Sun particles in the fuel,get rid of them. [MARTHA] I am not leaving you. [DOCTOR] You've got to give back what they took. [MARTHA] Doctor! [DOCTOR] Please go! [MARTHA] I'll be back for you. [COMPUTER] Impact in four oh eight. --------------------------------------- (Engineering) [McDONNELL] You were right. It was my fault. [COMPUTER] Impact in three forty three. --------------------------------------- (Airlock) [McDONNELL] I didn't know. I really didn't know. Korwin, please stop. [KORWIN] Everyone must burn! [McDONNELL] Riley, Scannell. --------------------------------------- (Area 4) [McDONNELL [OC]] I'm sorry. [SCANNELL] McDonnell. McDonnell! --------------------------------------- (Airlock) [McDONNELL] I love you. --------------------------------------- (Area 4) [COMPUTER] Exterior airlock open. [RILEY] It's the last door. We've got to keep going. [COMPUTER] Impact in two seventeen. Primary engines critical. [COMPUTER] Repeat. Primary engines critical. Survival estimateprojection zero percent. --------------------------------------- (Area 22) [DOCTOR] Martha! [MARTHA [OC]] Doctor! What are you doing? [DOCTOR] I can't fight it. Give it back or burn with me. --------------------------------------- (Area 4) [DOCTOR [OC]] Burn with me, Martha. [COMPUTER] Impact in one twenty one. --------------------------------------- (Area 1) [RILEY] Got it! [COMPUTER] Life support systems reaching critical. Repeat. Life supportsystems reaching critical. Impact in one oh six. [COMPUTER] Collision alert. Collision alert. [RILEY] It's not working. Why's it not working? [COMPUTER] Collision alert. Fifty eight seconds to fatal impact. [MARTHA] Vent the engines. Dump the fuel. [SCANNELL] What? [MARTHA] Sun particles in the fuel. Get rid of them. Do it. Now! [MARTHA] Come on, Doctor. Hold on. [COMPUTER] Fuel dump in progress. Fuel dump in progress. [SCANNELL] There! The auxiliaries are firing! [COMPUTER] Impact averted. Impact averted. Impact averted. [RILEY] We're clear. We've got just enough reserves. [MARTHA] Doctor! --------------------------------------- (Area 30) [SCANNELL] This is never your ship. [DOCTOR] Compact, eh? And another good word, robust. Barely a scorchmark on her. [MARTHA] We can't just leave you drifting with no fuel. [RILEY] We've sent out an official mayday. The authorities'll pick us upsoon enough. [SCANNELL] Though how we explain what happened [DOCTOR] Just tell them. That sun needs care and protection just likeany other living thing. [RILEY] So, er, you're off then. No chance I'll see you again? [MARTHA] Not really. It was nice, not dying with you. I reckon you'llfind someone worth believing in. [RILEY] I think I already did. [MARTHA] Well done. Very hot. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [MARTHA] So. Didn't really need you in the end, didwe? Sorry. How are you doing? [DOCTOR] Now, what do you say? Ice skating on the mineral lakes ofKur-ha. Fancy it? [MARTHA] Whatever you like. [DOCTOR] By the way, you'll be needing this. [MARTHA] Really? [DOCTOR] Frequent flier's privilege. Thank you. [MARTHA] Oh, no. Mum. --------------------------------------- (Francine's home) [FRANCINE] Hello? --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [MARTHA] It's me again. [FRANCINE] Three calls in one day. [MARTHA] I'm sorry about earlier. Over emotional. Mad day.

Doctor Who (26 May, 2007; Tenth Doctor) - Human Nature [DOCTOR] Get down! [DOCTOR] Did they see you? [MARTHA] I don't know. [DOCTOR] But did they see you? [MARTHA] I don't know. I was too busy running. [DOCTOR] Martha, it's important. Did they see your face? [MARTHA] No, they couldn't have. [DOCTOR] Off we go! [DOCTOR] Argh! They're following us. [MARTHA] How can they do that? You've got a time machine. [DOCTOR] Stolen technology. They've got a Time Agent's vortexmanipulator. They can follow us wherever we go, right across theuniverse. They're never going to stop, unless. I'll have to do it.Martha, you trust me, don't you? [MARTHA] Of course I do. [DOCTOR] Because it all depends on you. [MARTHA] What does? What am I supposed to do? [DOCTOR] Take this watch, because my life depends on it. This watch,Martha. The watch is --------------------------------------- (Doctor's room) [DOCTOR] Come in. [MARTHA] Pardon me, Mister Smith. You're not dressed yet. I can comeback later. [DOCTOR] No, it's all right, it's all right. Put it down. I was er.Sorry, sorry. Sometimes I have these extraordinary dreams. [MARTHA] What about, sir? [DOCTOR] I dream I'm this adventurer. This daredevil, a madman. TheDoctor, I'm called. And last night I dreamt that you were there, as mycompanion. [MARTHA] A teacher and a housemaid, sir? That's impossible. [DOCTOR] I'm a man from another world, though. [MARTHA] Well it can't be true because there's no such thing. [DOCTOR] This thing. The watch is [DOCTOR] Ah, it's funny how dreams slip away. But I do remember onething; it all took place in the future. In the Year of Our Lord twothousand and seven. [MARTHA] I can prove that wrong for you, sir. Here's the morning paper.It's Monday, November tenth, nineteen thirteen, and you're completelyhuman, sir. As human as they come. [DOCTOR] Mmm, that's me. Completely human. --------------------------------------- (Farringham School) [BOY 1] Morning, sir. [BOY] Morning, sir. [DOCTOR] Headmaster. --------------------------------------- (Classroom) [DOCTOR] Advanced with little impediment. The French were all but spent,with only two battalions of the old guard remaining. A final reserveforce was charged with protecting Napoleon, but by evening, the advanceof the Allied troops had forced them to retreat. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [MARTHA] Morning, sir. [DOCTOR] Yes, hi. [JENNY] Head in the clouds, that one. Don't know why you're so sweet onhim. [MARTHA] He's just kind to me, that's all. Not everyone's thatconsiderate, what with me being [JENNY] A Londoner? [MARTHA] Exactly. Good old London town. [BAINES] Er, now then, you two. You're not paid to have fun, are you?Put a little backbone into it. [JENNY] Yes, sir. Sorry, sir. [HUTCHINSON] You there, what's your name again? [MARTHA] Martha, sir. Martha Jones. [HUTCHINSON] Tell me then, Jones. With hands like those, how can youtell when something's clean? [MARTHA] That's very funny, sir. [JENNY] Careful, now. Don't answer back. [MARTHA] I'd answer back with my bucket over his head. [JENNY] Oh, I wish. Just think, though. In a few years time, boys likethat'll be running the country. [MARTHA] Nineteen thirteen. They might not. --------------------------------------- (Upper corridor) [BOY] Excuse me, ma'am. [JOAN] Oh, good morning, Mister Smith. [DOCTOR] There we go. [JOAN] Let me help you. [DOCTOR] No, no, I've got it, no. Er, how best to retrieve? Tell youwhat. If you could take these [JOAN] Good. [DOCTOR] No harm done. So, er, how was Jenkins? [JOAN] Oh just a cold. Nothing serious. I think he's missing his mothermore than anything. [DOCTOR] Oh, we can't have that. [JOAN] He received a letter this morning, so he's a lot more chipper. Iappear to be holding your books. [DOCTOR] Yes, so you are. Sorry, sorry. Just let me. [JOAN] No, why don't I take half? [DOCTOR] Ah, brilliant idea. Brilliant. Perfect. Division of labour. [JOAN] We make quite a team. [DOCTOR] Don't we just. [JOAN] So, these books. Were they being taken in any particulardirection? [DOCTOR] Yes. This way. [DOCTOR] I always say, Matron, give the boys a good head of steam,they'll soon wear themselves out. [JOAN] Truth be told, when it's just you and me, I'd much rather youcall me Nurse Redfern. Matron sounds rather well, matronly. [DOCTOR] Ah. Nurse Redfern it is then. [JOAN] Though we've known each other all of two months, you could evensay Joan. [DOCTOR] Joan? [JOAN] That's my name. [DOCTOR] Well, obviously. [JOAN] And it's John, isn't it? [DOCTOR] Yes, yes, it is, yes. [JOAN] Have you seen this, John? The annual dance at the village halltomorrow. It's nothing formal, but rather fun by all accounts. Do youthink you'll go? [DOCTOR] I hadn't thought about it. [JOAN] It's been ages since I've been to a dance, only no one's askedme. [DOCTOR] Well, I should imagine that you'd be, er, I mean, I neverthought you'd be one for. I mean, there's no reason why you shouldn't.If you do, you may not. I, I probably won't, but even if I did then Icouldn't. I mean I wouldn't want to [JOAN] The stairs. [DOCTOR] What about the stairs? [JOAN] They're right behind you. --------------------------------------- (Doctor's room) [JOAN] Stop it. I get boys causing less fuss than this. [DOCTOR] Because it hurts. [MARTHA] Is he all right? [JOAN] Excuse me, Martha. It's hardly good form to enter a master'sstudy without knocking. [MARTHA] Sorry. Right. Yeah. [MARTHA] But is he all right? They said you fell down the stairs, Sir. [DOCTOR] No, it was just a tumble, that's all. [MARTHA] Have you checked for concussion? [JOAN] I have. And I daresay I know a lot more about it than you. [MARTHA] Sorry. I'll just tidy your things. [DOCTOR] I was just telling Nurse Redfern, Matron, about my dreams. Theyare quite remarkable tales. I keep imagining that I'm someone else, andthat I'm hiding. [JOAN] Hiding? In what way? [DOCTOR] They're almost every night. This is going to sound silly. [JOAN] Tell me. [DOCTOR] I dream, quite often, that I have two hearts. [JOAN] Well, then. I can be the judge of that. Let's find out. [JOAN] I can confirm the diagnosis. Just one heart, singular. [DOCTOR] I have er, I have written down some of these dreams in the formof fiction. Not that it would be of any interest. [JOAN] I'd be very interested. [DOCTOR] Well, I've never actually shown it to anyone before. [JOAN] A Journal of Impossible Things. [JOAN] Just look at these creatures. [JOAN] Such imagination. [DOCTOR] It's become quite a hobby. [JOAN] It's wonderful. And quite an eye for the pretty girls. [DOCTOR] Oh no, no, she's just an invention. This character, Rose. Icall her, Rose. Seems to disappear later on. [DOCTOR] Ah, that's the box. The blue box. It's always there. Like alike a magic carpet. This funny little box that transports me to faraway places. [JOAN] Like a doorway? [DOCTOR] Mmm. [DOCTOR] I sometimes think how magical life would be if stories likethis were true. [JOAN] If only. [DOCTOR] It's just a dream. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [MARTHA] Ma'am? That book. [JOAN] Oh, I'll look after it. Don't worry. He did say I could read it. [MARTHA] But it's silly, that's all. Just stories. [JOAN] Who is he, Martha? [MARTHA] I'm sorry? [JOAN] It's like he's left the kettle on. Like he knows he has somethingto get back to, but he can't remember what. [MARTHA] That's just him. [JOAN] You arrived with him, didn't you? He found you employment here atthe school, isn't that right? [MARTHA] I used to work for the family. He just sort of inherited me. [JOAN] Well, I'd be careful. If you don't mind my saying, you sometimesseem a little familiar with him. Best remember your position. [MARTHA] Yes, ma'am. --------------------------------------- (Dormitory) [HUTCHINSON] Ah, Latimer. Here you are, Latintranslation. [HUTCHINSON] Blasted Catullus. I want it done by morning. [LATIMER] Yes, sir. [HUTCHINSON] And no mistakes. I want it written by best handwriting. [HUTCHINSON] Listen, Father says he's been promoted. That means moremoney. Might end up in a better school. [LATIMER] Ah, he should enjoy it, sir. My uncle had a six month postingin Johannesburg. Says it was the most beautiful countryside on God'sEarth. [HUTCHINSON] What are you talking about? [LATIMER] Africa. Your father. [HUTCHINSON] You been reading my post? [LATIMER] What? [HUTCHINSON] You said Africa. I've only just read the word myself. Howdid you know that? [LATIMER] I haven't. [HUTCHINSON] Have you been spying on me? [LATIMER] No. I just guessed. [HUTCHINSON] What's that supposed to mean? [LATIMER] I'm good at guessing, that's all. [HUTCHINSON] Idiot. [LATIMER] Sometimes I say things and they turn out to be correct. Justlittle things. Tiny things. I can't help it. It's just some sort ofluck. [BAINES] Right, well, never mind that little toad. Who's for beer? [HUTCHINSON] You've got beer? [BAINES] No, but Baxter's hidden a secret supply in Blackdown woods. [HUTCHINSON] What are you waiting for? [HUTCHINSON] Make sure the Bursar's down the pub before you go past hiswindow. [BAINES] A bottle for everyone, is it? [HUTCHINSON] And none for the filth. And hurry back, Baines, I'mparched. --------------------------------------- (Outside the pub) [MARTHA] Ooo, it's freezing out here. Why can't we have a drink insidethe pub? [JENNY] Now don't be ridiculous. You do get these notions! It's all verywell, those Suffragettes. but that's London. That's miles away. [MARTHA] But don't you just want to scream sometimes, having to bow andscrape and behave. Don't you justwant to tell them? [JENNY] I don't know. Things must be different in your country. [MARTHA] Yeah, well they are. Thank God I'm not staying. [JENNY] You keep saying that. [MARTHA] Just you wait. One more month and I'm as free as the wind. Iwish you could come with me, Jenny. You'd love it. [JENNY] Where are you going to go? [MARTHA] Anywhere. Just look up there. Imagine you could go all the wayout to the stars. [JENNY] You don't half say mad things. [MARTHA] That's where I'm going. Into the sky, all the way out. [MARTHA] Did you see that? [JENNY] See what? [MARTHA] Did you see it, though? Right up there, just for a second. [JENNY] Martha, there's nothing there. [MARTHA] Matron, are you all right? [JOAN] Did you see that? There was something in the woods. This light. [DOCTOR] Anything wrong, ladies? Far too cold to be standing around inthe dark, don't you. [JOAN] There, there. Look in the sky. [JENNY] Oh, that's beautiful. [DOCTOR] All gone. Commonly known as a meteorite. It's just rocksfalling to the ground, that's all. [JOAN] It came down in the woods. [DOCTOR] No, no, no. No, they always look close, when actually they'remiles off. Nothing left but a cinder. Now, I should escort you back tothe school. Ladies? [MARTHA] No, we're fine, thanks. [DOCTOR] Then I shall bid you goodnight. [MARTHA] Jenny, where was that? On the horizon, where the light washeaded. [JENNY] That's by Cooper's Field. [JENNY] You can't just run off. It's dark. You'll break a leg. --------------------------------------- (Cooper's Field) [BAINES] I say, hello? Was that some kind of aeroplane? You chaps allright? [BAINES] What? That's, that's impossible. [BAINES] Some kind of door. Hello? Is anyone there? [JENNY] There you are. Nothing there. I told you so. [MARTHA] And that's Cooper's Field? [JENNY] As far as the eye can see, and no falling star. Now come on, I'mfrozen to the bone, let's go. As your Mister Smith says, nothing tosee. --------------------------------------- (Spacecraft) [BAINES] But I don't understand. Who are you? [FATHER [OC]] We are the Family. [MOTHER [OC]] Far more important, who are you, little thing? [BAINES] My name's Baines. Jeremy Baines. Please can I go? [MOTHER [OC]] I'm so sorry, Baines Jeremy Baines, but I don't think youcan ever leave. [BAINES] But, who are you? Why can't I see you? [FATHER [OC]] Why would you want to see us? [BAINES] I want to know what you look like. [MOTHER [OC]] Oh, that's easily answered, because very soon we will lookso familiar. --------------------------------------- (Dormitory) [HUTCHINSON] Where is he? Promises us beer then vanishes into the night. [HUTCHINSON] There he is. Let him in. [HUTCHINSON] Baines, you dolt. I thought you'd been caught by therozzers. Well, then? Where is it, man? Where's the blessed beer? [BAINES] There was no beer. It was gone. [HUTCHINSON] Damn it all, I've been waiting. Pretty poor show, Baines, Ihave to say. What's the matter with you? Caught sniffles out there? [BAINES] Yes, I must have. It was cold. Very cold. [HUTCHINSON] Well, don't spread it about, I don't want your germs. Comeon, might as well get some sleep. Come on, chaps. Maybe tomorrow.Jackson's got some beer in the pavilion. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [MARTHA] Hello. I'm talking to a machine --------------------------------------- (Memory - Tardis) [DOCTOR] Get down! They're following us. They canfollow us wherever we go. Right across the universe. They're nevergoing to stop. Martha, you trust me, don't you? [MARTHA] Of course I do. [DOCTOR] Because it all depends on you. Martha, this watch is me. [MARTHA] Right, okay, gotcha. No, hold on. Completely lost. [DOCTOR] Those creatures are hunters. They can sniff out anyone, and mebeing a Time Lord, well, I'm unique. They can track me down across thewhole of time and space. [MARTHA] Huh. And the good news is? [DOCTOR] They can smell me, they haven't seen me. And their life span'llbe running out, so we hide. Wait for them to die. [MARTHA] But they can track us down. [DOCTOR] That's why I've got to do it. I have to stop being a Time Lord.I'm going to become human. [DOCTOR] Never thought I'd use this. All the times I've wondered. [MARTHA] What does it do? [DOCTOR] Chameleon Arch. Rewrites my biology. Literally changes everysingle cell in my body. I've set it to human. [DOCTOR] Now, the Tardis will take care of everything. Invent a lifestory for me, find me a setting and integrate me. Can't do the same foryou. You'll just have to improvise. I should have just enough residualawareness to let you in. [MARTHA] But, hold on. If you're going to rewrite every single cell,isn't it going to hurt? [DOCTOR] Oh, yeah. It hurts. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR [on scanner]] This working? Martha, before I change, here's alist of instructions for when I'm human. One, don't let me hurt anyone.We can't have that, but you know what humans are like. Two, don't worryabout the Tardis. I'll put it on emergency power so they can't detectit. Just let it hide away. Four. No, wait a minute, three. No gettinginvolved in big historical events. Four, you. Don't let me abandon you.And fi [MARTHA] But there was a meteor, a shooting star. What am I supposed todo then? [DOCTOR [on scanner]] And twenty three. If anything goes wrong, if theyfind us, Martha, then you know what to do. Open the watch. Everything Iam is kept safe in there. Now, I've put a perception filter on it sothe human me won't think anything of it. To him, it's just a watch. Butdon't open it unless you have to. Because once it's open, then theFamily will be able to find me. It's all down to you, Martha. Yourchoice. Oh, and thank you. [MARTHA] I wish you'd come back. --------------------------------------- (Doctor's study) [LATIMER] You told me to come and collect that book, sir. [DOCTOR] Good lad. Yes. Yes! The Definitive Account of Mafeking byAitchison Price.Where did I put it? And I wanted a little word. Your marks aren't quitegood enough. [LATIMER] I'm top ten in my class, sir. [DOCTOR] Now, be honest, Timothy, you should be the very top. You're aclever boy. You seem to be hiding it. Where is that book? And I knowwhy. Keeping your head low avoids the mockery of your classmates. Butno man should hide himself, don't you think? [LATIMER] Yes, sir. [DOCTOR [OC]] You're clever. Be proud of it. Use it. [MOTHER [watch]] Time Lord. Hide yourself. [DOCTOR [watch]] The secret lies within. I'm trapped. I'm kept insidethe cogs. [DOCTOR [watch]] In the dark, waiting. Always waiting. [DOCTOR] Fascinating details about the siege. Really quite remarkable.Are you all right? [LATIMER] Yes, sir. Fine, sir. [DOCTOR] Right then. Good. And remember. Use that brain of yours. [DOCTOR [watch]] Power of a Time Lord. [DOCTOR] You're really not looking yourself, old chap. Anythingbothering you? [LATIMER] No, sir Thank you, sir. --------------------------------------- (Dormitory) [DOCTOR [watch]] You are not alone. Keep me hidden. [VOICES [watch]] And infinite fire. Burn with light. Burn in time. --------------------------------------- (Farringham School) [PHILIPS] Cut along. Classes are starting now. Come along, Jenkins. [BAINES [OC]] There is a trace, but somehow scattered. The scent isconfused. Nevertheless, we'd best arm ourselves. [BAINES] Activate the soldiers. --------------------------------------- (Field) [CLARK] That is my property, and you're trespassing on my land. Come on,who's in there? One of those idiot boys from the school, is it, eh?Come on, let's [CLARK] But how did you [CLARK] No! Help me! Help me! --------------------------------------- (Shooting range) [DOCTOR] Concentrate. [DOCTOR] Hutchinson, excellent work. [ROCASTLE] Cease fire! [DOCTOR] Good day to you, Headmaster. [ROCASTLE] Your crew's on fine form today, Mister Smith. [HUTCHINSON] Excuse me, Headmaster. We could do a lot better. Latimer'sbeing deliberately shoddy. [LATIMER] I'm trying my best. [ROCASTLE] You need to be better than the best. Those targets aretribesmen from the dark continent. [LATIMER] That's exactly the problem, sir. They only have spears. [ROCASTLE] Oh, dear me. Latimer takes it upon himself to make us realisehow wrong we all are. I hope, Latimer, that one day you may have a justand proper war in which to prove yourself. Now, resume firing. --------------------------------------- (World War I) [MAN [OC]] Mind the wire. Keep your heads down! [LATIMER] One minute past the hour. It's now. Hutchinson, this is thetime. It's now. --------------------------------------- (Shooting range) [HUTCHINSON] Stoppage. Immediate action. Didn't I tell you, sir? Thisstupid boy is useless. Permission to give Latimer a beating, sir. [ROCASTLE] It's your class, Mister Smith. [DOCTOR] Permission granted. [HUTCHINSON] Right. Come with me, you little oik. [DOCTOR] Anything the matter, Baines? [BAINES] I thought. No, sir. Nothing, sir. [ROCASTLE] As you were, Mister Smith. [DOCTOR] Ah, Pemberton, Smythe, Wicks, take post. [DOCTOR] Ah, Nurse Redfern. [JOAN] Er, I'll give you back your journal when next I see you. [DOCTOR] No, no, no. You don't have to. [JOAN] If you'll excuse me, Mister Smith. I was just thinking about theday my husband was shot. --------------------------------------- (Farringham village) [JOAN] His name was Oliver. He died in the battle of Spion Cop. We werechildhood sweethearts. But you see, I was angry with the army for sucha long time. [DOCTOR] You still are. [JOAN] I find myself as part of that school watching boys learn how tokill. [DOCTOR] Don't you think discipline is good for them? [JOAN] Does it have to be such military discipline? I mean, if there'sanother war those boys won't find it so amusing. [DOCTOR] Well, Great Britain is at peace, long may it reign. [JOAN] In your journal, in one of your stories, you wrote about nextyear. Nineteen fourteen. [DOCTOR] That was just a dream. [JOAN] All those images of mud and wire. You told of a shadow. A shadowfalling across the entire world. [DOCTOR] Well then, we can be thankful it's not true. And I'll admitmankind doesn't need warfare and bloodshed to prove itself. Everydaylife can provide honour and valour, and let's hope that from now onthis, this country can find its heroes in smaller places. [DOCTOR] In the most [DOCTOR] Ordinary of, of deeds. [WORKMAN] Are you all right? How's the little one? [DOCTOR] Lucky. [JOAN] That was luck? [DOCTOR] Nurse Redfern, might I invite you to the village dance thisevening, as my guest? [JOAN] You extraordinary man. --------------------------------------- (Field) [JOAN] Oh, it's all becoming clear now. The Doctor is the man you'd liketo be, doing impossible things with cricket balls. [DOCTOR] Well, I discovered a talent, that's certainly true. [JOAN] But the Doctor has an eye for the ladies. [DOCTOR] The devil. [JOAN] A girl at every fireplace. [DOCTOR] Ah, now, there I have to protest, Joan. That is hardly me. [JOAN] Says the man dancing with me tonight. [DOCTOR] That scarecrow's all skewed. [JOAN] Ever the artist. Where did you learn to draw? [DOCTOR] Gallifrey. [JOAN] Is that in Ireland? [DOCTOR] Yes, it must be, yes. [JOAN] But you're not Irish? [DOCTOR] Not at all, no. My father Sidney was a watchmaker fromNottingham, and my mother Verity was, er. Well, she was a nurse,actually. [JOAN] Oh. We make such good wives. [DOCTOR] Really? Right. Yes. Well, my work is done. What do you think? [JOAN] Masterpiece. [DOCTOR] All sorts of skills today! --------------------------------------- (Doctor's study) [JOAN] Can I see? [JOAN] Oh, goodness Do I look like that? Are you sure that's not me? [DOCTOR] Most definitely this page. Do you like it? [JOAN] You've made me far too beautiful. [DOCTOR] Well, that's how I see you. [JOAN] Widows aren't supposed to be beautiful. I think the world wouldrather we stopped. Is that fair? That we stop? [DOCTOR] That's not fair at all. [DOCTOR] I've never er [DOCTOR] Martha, what have I told you about entering unannounced? --------------------------------------- (Outside the Doctor's study) [MARTHA] That wasn't on the list. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR [on scanner]] Four. You. Don't let me abandon you. [MARTHA] That's no good. What about the stuff you didn't tell me? Whatabout women? Oh no, you didn't think of that. What in hell am Isupposed to do then? [DOCTOR [on scanner]] Thank you. [MARTHA] You had to, didn't you? You had to go and fall in love with ahuman, and it wasn't me. --------------------------------------- (School grounds) [WOMAN [watch]] Darkness is coming. [DOCTOR [watch]] Keep me away from the false and empty man. [MAN [watch]] The last of the Time Lords. The last of that wise andancient race. [WOMAN [watch]] Merge with the faces of men. --------------------------------------- (Country lane) [JENNY] Who's that playing silly beggars? Nearly broke me neck. Who'sthat, then? Is it you, Saul? --------------------------------------- (Spacecraft) [JENNY] I don't understand. It's Mister Clark, isn'tit? What have I done wrong? [CLARK] Nothing at all. In fact, you're just what we need, girl. [BAINES] She works at the school, and whatever's happening seems tocentred round that establishment. The faintest of traces, but they alllead back there. [JENNY] It's Baines, isn't it? This isn't very funny, sir. [BAINES] Just shut up. Stop talking. Cease and desist, there's a goodgirl! Mother of Mine is dying to meet you. And here she is. [JENNY] Stop mocking me, sir. [BAINES] No! Mother of Mine just needs a shape. We go through shapes sovery fast. Yours is perfectly adequate, if a little grim. Mother ofMine, embrace her. --------------------------------------- (Doctor's study) [DOCTOR] You look wonderful. [JOAN] You'd best give me some warning. Er, can you actually dance? [DOCTOR] I'm not certain. [JOAN] There's a surprise. Is there anything you're certain about? [DOCTOR] Yes. Yes. --------------------------------------- (Servant's quarters) [MARTHA] There you are. Come and look what I've got. Mister Poole didn'twant his afternoon tea so Cook said I could have it. And there's enoughfor two.What are you standing there for? [MARTHA] Are you all right? [JENNY] I must have a cold coming on. [MARTHA] The problem is, I keep thinking about them, but I don't knowwhat to do. [JENNY] Thinking about who? [MARTHA] Mister Smith and Matron. Because it's never going to last. He'sgoing to leave in a few weeks. [JENNY] Why? [MARTHA] It's like his contract comes to an end. And she's going to beheartbroken. [JENNY] Leave for where? [MARTHA] All sorts of places. I wish I could tell you, Jenny, but it'scomplicated. [JENNY] In what way? [MARTHA] I just can't. [JENNY] It sounds so interesting. Tell me. Tell me now. [MARTHA] Would you like some tea? [JENNY] Yes, thanks. [MARTHA] I could put a nice bit of gravy in the pot. And some mutton. Orsardines and jam. How about that? [JENNY] I like the sound of that. [MARTHA] Right. Hold on a tick. --------------------------------------- (Doctor's study) [MARTHA] They've found us. [JOAN] This is ridiculous. [DOCTOR] Martha, I've warned you. [MARTHA] They've found us, and I've seen them. They look like people,like us, like normal. I'm sorry, but you've got to open the watch.Where is it? [MARTHA] Oh, my God. Where's it gone? Where's the watch? [DOCTOR] What are you talking about? [MARTHA] You had a watch. A fob watch. Right there. [DOCTOR] Did I? I don't remember. [JOAN] I can't see what concern it is of yours. [MARTHA] But we need it. Oh, my God, Doctor, we're hiding from aliens,and they've got Jenny and they've possessed her or copied her orsomething, and you've got to tell me, where's the watch? [MARTHA] Oh you complete. This is not you. This is nineteen thirteen. [DOCTOR] Good. This is nineteen thirteen. [MARTHA] I've sorry. I'm really sorry, but I've got to snap you out ofthis. [JOAN] Martha! [MARTHA] Wake up! You're coming back to the Tardis with me. [DOCTOR] How dare, how dare you. I'm not going anywhere with an insaneservant. Martha, you are dismissed. You will leave these premisesimmediately. Now get out! [DOCTOR] The nerve of it. The absolute cheek. You think I'm a fantasist?What about her? [JOAN] The funny thing is, you did have a fob watch, right there. Don'tyou remember? --------------------------------------- (Courtyard) [MARTHA] Oh, sorry! [MARTHA] Sorry. [LATIMER] Martha? [MARTHA] Not now, Tim. Busy! --------------------------------------- (Doctor's study) [BAINES] Mister Smith? No one home. [JENNY] The maid was definitely hiding something. A secret around thisMister Smith. [BAINES] We both scented him, though. He was plain and simple human. [JENNY] Maybe he knows something. Where is he? --------------------------------------- (Entering the village hall) [JOAN] She's infatuated. You're a dangerous man. [DOCTOR] You've taken my arm in public. [JOAN] I'm very scared. [BEGGAR] Spare a penny for the veterans of the Crimea, sir? [DOCTOR] Yes, of course. There you are. --------------------------------------- (Village hall) [CHAMBERS] Ladies and gentlemen. Please take yourpartners for a waltz. [JOAN] You can dance. [DOCTOR] I surprise myself. [DOCTOR] Sorry. --------------------------------------- (Doctor's study) [CLARK] I think this might help. [JENNY] That makes it easy, Son of Mine. Because Daughter of Mine'salready there. [BAINES] We've been invited to the dance. --------------------------------------- (Outside the village hall) [BEGGAR] Oh, staff entrance, I think, Miss. [MARTHA] Yeah? Well, think again, mate. --------------------------------------- (Village hall) [JOAN] Please, don't. Not again. [MARTHA] He's different from any other man you've ever met, right? [JOAN] Yes. [MARTHA] And sometimes he says these strange things, like people andplaces you've never heard of, yeah? But it's deeper than that.Sometimes when you look in his eyes you know, you just know thatthere's something else in there. Something hidden. Right behind theeyes, something hidden away in the dark. [JOAN] I don't know what you mean. [MARTHA] Yes, you do. I don't mean to be rude, but the awful thing is itdoesn't even matter what you think. But you're nice. And you're lucky.And I just wanted to say sorry for what I'm about to do. [DOCTOR] Oh, now really, Martha. This is getting out of hand. I mustinsist that you leave. [MARTHA] Do you know what this is? Name it. Go on, name it. [JOAN] John, what is that silly thing? John? [MARTHA] You're not John Smith. You're called the Doctor. The man inyour journal, he's real. He's you. --------------------------------------- (Outside the village hall) [BEGGAR] Evening, all. Spare a penny, sir? [BAINES] I didn't spare you. --------------------------------------- (Village hall) [CLARK] There will be silence! All of you! [CLARK] I said, silence! [CHAMBERS] Mister Clarke, what's going on? [MARTHA] Mister Smith? Everything I told you, just forget it! Don't sayanything. [BAINES] We asked for silence! Now then, we have a few questions forMister Smith. [LUCY] No, better than that. The teacher. He's the Doctor. I heard themtalking. [BAINES] You took human form. [DOCTOR] Of course I'm human. I was born human, as were you, Baines. AndJenny, and you, Mister Clark. What is going on? This is madness. [BAINES] Ooo, and a human brain, too. Simple, thick and dull. [JENNY] But he's no good like this. [CLARK] We need a Time Lord. [BAINES] Easily done. [BAINES] Change back. [DOCTOR] I don't know what you're talking about. [BAINES] Change back! [DOCTOR] I literally do not know [MARTHA] Get off me! [JENNY] She's your friend, isn't she? Doesn't this scare you enough tochange back? [DOCTOR] I don't know what you mean! [JENNY] Wait a minute. The maid told me about Smith and the Matron. Thatwoman, there. [CLARK] Then let's have you. [BAINES] Have you enjoyed it, Doctor, being human? Has it taught youwonderful things? Are you better, richer, wiser? Then let's see youanswer this. Which one of them do you want us to kill? Maid or matron?Your friend or your lover? Your choice.

Doctor Who (2 Jun, 2007; Tenth Doctor) - Family of Blood [JENNY] Make your decision, Mister Smith. [BAINES] Perhaps if that human heart breaks, the Time Lord will emerge. [VOICE] Time Lord. [BAINES] It's him! [MARTHA] All right! One more move and I shoot. [BAINES] Oh, the maid is full of fire. [MARTHA] And you can shut up! [CLARK] Careful, Son of Mine. This is all for you so that you can liveforever. [BAINES] Shoot you down. [MARTHA] Try it. We'll die together. [BAINES] Would you really pull the trigger? Looks too scared. [MARTHA] Scared and holding a gun's a good combination. Do you want torisk it? [MARTHA] Doctor, get everyone out. There's a door at the side. It's overthere. Go on. Do it, Mister Smith. I mean you. [JOAN] Do what she said. Everybody out, now. Don't argue, MisterJackson. They're mad. That's all we need to know. Susan, Miss Cooper,outside, all of you. [DOCTOR] Move yourself, boy. Back to the school, quickly. [MARTHA] And you. Go on. Just shift. [DOCTOR] What about you? [MARTHA] Mister Smith, I think you should escort your lady friend tosafety, don't you? --------------------------------------- (Outside the village hall) [DOCTOR] Mister Hicks, warn the village. Geteveryone out. Latimer, get back to the school. Tell the headmaster [LATIMER] Don't touch me. You're as bad as them. --------------------------------------- (Village hall) [MARTHA] Don't try anything. I'm warning you, or Sonny boy gets it. [BAINES] She's almost brave, this one. [JENNY] I should have taken her form. Much more fun. So much spirit. [MARTHA] What happened to Jenny? Is she gone? [JENNY] She is consumed. Her body's mine. [MARTHA] You mean she's dead. [JENNY] Yes. And she went with precious little dignity. All thatscreaming. [BAINES] Get the gun! [BAINES] Good work, soldier. --------------------------------------- (Outside the village hall) [MARTHA] Don't just stand there, move! God, you'rerubbish as a human. Come on! [BAINES] Run! Ah, this is super. We've been in hiding for too long. Thisis sport. [JENNY] I can smell the schoolteacher. He's gone back to his academy. [BAINES] And what do we know about her? [JENNY] This body has traces of memory. Was once her friend. Marthawould go walking to the west. Husband of Mine, follow the maid's scent.Go to the west. Find out what she was keeping secret. [CLARK] Soldiers! [BAINES] As for you, Mother of Mine, let's go to school. --------------------------------------- (Farringham School) [MARTHA] What are you doing? [DOCTOR] Maybe one man can't fight them, but this school teaches us tostand together. Take arms! Take arms! [MARTHA] You can't do that! [DOCTOR] You want me to fight, don't you? Take arms! Take arms! [HUTCHINSON] I say sir, what's the matter? [DOCTOR] Enemy at the door, Hutchinson. Enemy at the door. Take arms! --------------------------------------- (Outside the school) [BAINES] They're sounding the alarms. [JENNY] I wouldn't be so pleased, Son of Mine. These bodies are sillyand hot. They can damage and die. That's why we need the Time Lord. [BAINES] Indeed. They will have guns. Perhaps a little caution. Sisterof Mine, you're such a small little thing. Find a way in and spy onthem. --------------------------------------- (Farringham School) [MARTHA] You can't do this, Doctor. Mister Smith! [DOCTOR] Redfern, maintain position over the stable yard. Faster now.That's it. [MARTHA] They're just boys. You can't ask them to fight. They don'tstand a chance. [DOCTOR] They're cadets, Miss Jones. They are trained to defend the Kingand all his citizens and properties. [ROCASTLE] What in thunder's name is this? Before I devise an excellentand endless series of punishments for each and every one of you, couldsomeone explain very simply and immediately exactly what is going on? [DOCTOR] Headmaster, I have to report the school is under attack. [ROCASTLE] Really? Is that so? Perhaps you and I should have a word inprivate. [DOCTOR] No, I promise you, sir. I was in the village with Matron. It'sBaines, sir. Jeremy Baines and Mister Clark from Oakham Farm. They'vegone mad, sir. They've got guns. They've already murdered people in thevillage. I saw it happen. [ROCASTLE] Matron, is that so? [JOAN] I'm afraid it's true, sir. [ROCASTLE] Murder on our own soil? [JOAN] I saw it. Yes. [ROCASTLE] Perhaps you did well then, Mister Smith. What makes you thingthe danger's coming here? [DOCTOR] Well, sir, they said [JOAN] Baines threatened Mister Smith, sir. Said he'd follow him. Wedon't know why. [ROCASTLE] Very well. You boys, remain on guard. Mister Snell, telephonefor the police. Mister Philips, with me. We shall investigate. [MARTHA] No! But it's not safe out there. [ROCASTLE] Mister Smith, it seems your favourite servant is giving meadvice. You will control her, sir. [MARTHA] I've got to find that watch. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [DOCTOR [OC]] Hold me. Keep me safe. Keep me dark. Keep me closed. Thetime is not right. Not yet. Not while the Family is abroad. Danger! --------------------------------------- (Outside the school) [ROCASTLE] So. Baines and one of the cleaning staff.There's always a woman involved. Am I to gather that some practicaljoke has got out of hand? [BAINES] Headmaster, sir. Good evening, sir. Come to give me a caning,sir? Would you like that, sir? [ROCASTLE] Keep a civil tongue, boy. [PHILIPS] Now come on, everyone. I suspect alcohol has played its partin this. [PHILIPS] Let's all just calm down. And who are these friends of yours,Baines, in fancy dress? [BAINES] Do you like them, Mister Philips? I made them myself. I'm everso good at science, sir. Look. [BAINES] Molecular fringe animation fashioned in the shape of straw men.My own private army, sir. It's ever so good, sir. [ROCASTLE] Baines, step apart from this company and come inside with me. [BAINES] No, sir. You, sir, you will send us Mister John Smith. That'sall we want, sir, Mister John Smith and whatever he's done with hisTime Lord consciousness. Then we'd be very happy to leave you alone. [ROCASTLE] You speak with someone else's voice, Baines. Who might thatbe? [BAINES] We are the Family of Blood. [ROCASTLE] Mister Smith said there had been deaths. [BAINES] Yes, sir. And they were good, sir. [ROCASTLE] Well, I warn you, the school is armed. [BAINES] All your little tin soldiers. But tell me, sir, will they thankyou? [ROCASTLE] I don't understand. [BAINES] What do you know of history, sir? What do you know of nextyear? [ROCASTLE] You're not making sense, Baines. [BAINES] 1914, sir. Because the Family has travelled far and widelooking for Mister Smith and, oh, the things we have seen. War iscoming. In foreign fields, war of the whole wide world, with all yourboys falling down in the mud. Do you think they will thank the man whotaught them it was glorious? [ROCASTLE] Don't you forget, boy, I've been a soldier. I was in SouthAfrica. I used my dead mates for sandbags. I fought with the butt of myrifle when the bullets ran out, and I would go back there tomorrow forKing and Country! [BAINES] Et cetera, et cetera. [BAINES] Run along, Headmaster. Run back to school. And send us MisterSmith! --------------------------------------- (Farringham School) [ROCASTLE] Mister Philips has been murdered, MisterSmith. Can you tell me why? [DOCTOR] Honestly, sir, I have no idea. And the telephone line's beendisconnected. We are on our own. [ROCASTLE] If we have to make a fight of it, then make a fight we shall.Hutchinson, we'll build a barricade within the courtyards. Fortify theentrances, build our defences. Gentlemen, in the name of the King, weshall stand against them. [BOYS] Yes, sir! Right, come on. Let's get moving. [BOY] Hurry, get back. [HUTCHINSON] Barricade the kitchens. Secure the passageway to thestables. [HUTCHINSON] You coward. You'll do your duty, Latimer, with the rest ofus. --------------------------------------- (Courtyard) [ROCASTLE] Sandbags to the north and west. [DOCTOR] Stables in case of [ROCASTLE] Pemberton, load the spare magazines with bullets. [HUTCHINSON] Quickly, now. Take the magazine cut-off out. --------------------------------------- (Outside the school) [BAINES] They've got an army. So do we. Soldiers.Soldiers! --------------------------------------- (Courtyard) [ROCASTLE] Ashington, we need water for the Vickersgun. See to it. Faster. All of you, faster. [DOCTOR] Lockley, when firing commences, you're in charge of thegallery. [ROCASTLE] Peterson, that is not acceptable. Report to your seniorofficer. --------------------------------------- (Outside the school) [BAINES] War comes to England a year in advance. --------------------------------------- (Farringham school) [LUCY [OC]] Family of Mine, wait. Hold the soldiers back. The Time Lordis playing some sort of trick. [BAINES [OC]] Discover him, Sister of Mine. --------------------------------------- (Doctor's study) [MARTHA] I know it sounds mad, but when the Doctor became human, he tookthe alien part of himself and he stored it inside the watch. It's notreally a watch, it just looks like a watch. [JOAN] And alien means not from abroad, I take it. [MARTHA] The man you call John Smith, he was born on another world. [JOAN] A different species. [MARTHA] Yeah. [JOAN] Then tell me. In this fairy tale, who are you? [MARTHA] Just a friend. I'm not. I mean, you haven't got a rival, asmuch as I might. Just his friend. [JOAN] And human, I take it? [MARTHA] Human. Don't worry. And more than that, I just don't follow himaround. I'm training to be a doctor. Not an alien doctor, a properdoctor. A doctor of medicine. [JOAN] Well that certainly is nonsense. Women might train to be doctors,but hardly a skivvy and hardly one of your colour. [MARTHA] Oh, do you think? Bones of the hand. Carpal bones, proximalrow. Scaphoid, lunate, triquetal, pisiform. Distal row. Trapezium,trapezoid, capitate, hamate. Then the metacarpal bones extending inthree distinct phalanges. Proximal, middle, distal. [JOAN] You read that in a book. [MARTHA] Yes, to pass my exams. Can't you see this is true? [JOAN] I must go. [MARTHA] If we find that watch, then we can stop them. [JOAN] Those boys are going to fight. I might not be a doctor, but I'mstill their nurse. They need me. --------------------------------------- (Barn) [CLARK] Son of Mine, Wife of Mine. --------------------------------------- (Outside the school) [BAINES [OC]] Father of Mine, what have you found? --------------------------------------- (Barn) [CLARK] His Tardis. The Doctor can't escape. --------------------------------------- (Farringham School) [DOCTOR] You're with Armitage and Thwaites. They know the drill. Joan,it's not safe. [JOAN] I'm doing my duty, just as much as you. Fine evening we've hadtogether. [DOCTOR] Not quite as planned. [JOAN] Tell me about Nottingham. [DOCTOR] Sorry? [JOAN] That's where you were brought up. Tell me about it. [DOCTOR] Well, it lies on the River Leen, its southern boundaryfollowing the course of the River Trent which flows from Stoke to theHumber. [JOAN] That sounds like an encyclopaedia. Where did you live? [DOCTOR] Broadmoor Street. Adjacent to Hotley Terrace in the district ofRadford Parade. [JOAN] But more that facts. When you were a child, where did you play?All those secret little places, the dens and hideaways that only achild knows? Tell me, John. Please tell me. [DOCTOR] How can you think that I'm not real? When I kissed you, wasthat a lie? [JOAN] No, it wasn't. No. [DOCTOR] But this Doctor sounds like some, some romantic lost prince.Would you rather that? Am I not enough? [JOAN] No, that's not true. Never. [DOCTOR] I've got to go. [JOAN] Martha was right about one thing, though. Those boys, they'rechildren. John Smith wouldn't want them to fight, never mind theDoctor. The John Smith I was getting to know, he knows it's wrong,doesn't he? [ROCASTLE [OC]] Mister Smith, if you please! [DOCTOR] What choice do I have? --------------------------------------- (Courtyard) [HUTCHINSON] Get those bags piled up, filth. Goingto mean the difference between life and death for us. [LATIMER] Not for you and me. [HUTCHINSON] What are you babbling about? [LATIMER] We're going to battle together. [LATIMER] We fight alongside. I've seen it. Not here, not now. [HUTCHINSON] What's that supposed to mean? [LATIMER] It means you and I both survive this. And maybe, maybe I wasgiven this watch so I could help. I'm sorry. [HUTCHINSON] Latimer, you filthy coward! [LATIMER] Oh yes, sir. Every time. --------------------------------------- (Farringham School) [LATIMER] What do I do? What do I do? What do I do? [VOICES [watch]] Beware. [LATIMER] Beware of what? [VOICES [watch]] Her. [LATIMER] Keep away. [LUCY] Who are you? [LATIMER] I saw you at the dance. You were with that family. You're oneof them. [LUCY] What are you hiding? [LATIMER] Nothing. [LUCY] What have you got there? [LATIMER] Nothing. [LUCY] Show me, little boy. [LATIMER] I reckon whatever you are, you're still in the shape of agirl. How strong is she, do you think? Does she really want to seethis? --------------------------------------- (Outside the school) [BAINES] Time Lord. [JENNY] Inside the device. [BAINES] Everything he is concealed away in the hands of a schoolboy.But now we know, that's all we need to find. The boy and the watch.What are we waiting for? Attack! --------------------------------------- (Courtyard) [ROCASTLE] Stand to! [ROCASTLE] At post! [BOY] Enemy approaching, sir. [ROCASTLE] Steady. Find the biting point. [ROCASTLE] Fire! [ROCASTLE] Cease fire! [ROCASTLE] They're straw. Like he said, straw. [HUTCHINSON] The no one's dead, sir? We killed no one? [ROCASTLE] Stand to! [ROCASTLE] You, child. Come out of the way. Come into the school. Youdon't know who's out there. It's the Cartwright girl, isn't it? Comehere. Come to me. [MARTHA] Mister Rocastle! Please, don't go near her. [ROCASTLE] You were told to be quiet. [MARTHA] Just listen to me. She's part of it. Matron, tell him. [JOAN] I think that. I don't know. I think you should stay back,Headmaster. [MARTHA] Mister Smith. [DOCTOR] She was, she was with, with Baines in the village. [ROCASTLE] Mister Smith, I've seen many strange sights this night, butthere is no cause on God's Earth that would allow me to see this childin the field of battle, sir. Come with me. [LUCY] You're funny. [ROCASTLE] That's right. Now take my hand. [LUCY] So funny. [LUCY] Now who's going to shoot me. Any of you, really? [DOCTOR] Put down your guns. [HUTCHINSON] But sir, the Headmaster. [DOCTOR] I'll not see this happen. Not anymore. You will retreat in anorderly fashion back through the school. Hutchinson, lead the way. [HUTCHINSON] But sir. [DOCTOR] I said, lead the way. [BAINES] Well, go on, then. Run! [MARTHA] Come on! [BAINES] Reanimate! --------------------------------------- (Stable block) [DOCTOR] Let's go. Quick as you can. [MARTHA] Don't go to the village. It's not safe. [DOCTOR] And you, ladies. [JOAN] Not till we've got the boys out. --------------------------------------- (Farringham School) [JENNY] One of these boys has got the watch. This one? [LUCY] No. [BAINES] This one? [LUCY] No. [JENNY] This one? [LUCY] No. [HUTCHINSON] Get off me. I said get off me! [BAINES] Ah! This one, is that him? [LUCY] (sniff) No. [BAINES] Right. Then we can kill this lot. [VOICE] Lord of Time. [BAINES] That's it. [JENNY] Upstairs! [HUTCHINSON] Don't just stand there. Outside. Come on, out! --------------------------------------- (Stable block) [DOCTOR] Now, I insist. The pair of you, just go. Ifthere are any more boys inside, I'll find them. [DOCTOR] I think, retreat. --------------------------------------- (School grounds) [CLARK] Doctor! Doctor! [CLARK] Come back, Doctor. Come home. Come and claim your prize. [BAINES] Out you come, Doctor. There's a good boy. Come to the Family. [JENNY] Time to end it now. [MARTHA] You recognise it, don't you? [JENNY] Come out, Doctor. Come to us! [DOCTOR] I've never seen it in my life. [MARTHA] Do you remember its name? [JOAN] I'm sorry, John, but you wrote about it. The blue box. You dreamtof a blue box. [DOCTOR] I'm not. I'm John Smith. That's all I want to be. John Smith,with his life, and his job, and his love. Why can't I be John Smith?Isn't he a good man? [JOAN] Yes. Yes, he is. [DOCTOR] Why can't I stay? [MARTHA] But we need the Doctor. [DOCTOR] What am I, then? Nothing. I'm just a story. [BAINES] One more phase and we won't have to hunt. The Doctor, MisterSmith, the boy, the watch, they will come to us. Soldiers, guard thisthing. --------------------------------------- (Country lane) [JOAN] This way. I think I know somewhere we canhide. [DOCTOR] We've got to keep going. [JOAN] Just listen to me for once, John. Now, follow me. --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [BAINES] Power up. Fully armed and ready. Mother,Father and Sister of Mine, prepare the armaments. I doubt that Englandis ready for this. Fix targets and counting down. --------------------------------------- (Outside a cottage) [JOAN] Oh, here we are. It should be empty. Oh, it'sa long time since I've run that far. [MARTHA] But who lives here? [JOAN] If I'm right, no one. --------------------------------------- (Cottage) [JOAN] Hello? No one home. We should be safe here. [MARTHA] Whose house is it, though? [JOAN] Er, the Cartwrights. That little girl at the school, she's LucyCartwright, or she's taken Lucy Cartwright's form. If she came homethis afternoon and if the parents tried to stop their little girl, thenthey were vanished. [JOAN] Stone cold. How easily I accept these ideas. [DOCTOR] I must go to them, before anyone else dies. [JOAN] You can't. Martha, there must be something we can do. [MARTHA] Not without the watch. [DOCTOR] You're this Doctor's companion. Can't you help? What exactly doyou do for him? Why does he need you? [MARTHA] Because he's lonely. [DOCTOR] And that's what you want me to become. [JOAN] What if it's them? [MARTHA] I'm not an expert, but I don't think scarecrows knock. [LATIMER] I brought you this. [MARTHA] Hold it. [DOCTOR] I won't. [MARTHA] Please, just hold it. [LATIMER] It told me to find you. It wants to be held. [JOAN] You've had this watch all this time? Why didn't you return it? [LATIMER] Because it was waiting. And because I was so scared of theDoctor. [JOAN] Why? [LATIMER] Because I've seen him. He's like fire and ice and rage. He'slike the night and the storm in the heart of the sun. [DOCTOR] Stop it. [LATIMER] He's ancient and forever. He burns at the centre of time andhe can see the turn of the universe. [DOCTOR] Stop it! I said stop it. [LATIMER] And he's wonderful. [JOAN] I've still got this. The journal. [DOCTOR] Those are just stories. [JOAN] Now we know that's not true. Perhaps there's something in here. [MARTHA] What the hell? --------------------------------------- (Spacecraft) [BAINES] This'll flush him out. This'll do it.Super, super fun. --------------------------------------- (Cottage) [JOAN] They're destroying the village. [DOCTOR] The watch. [JOAN] John, don't. [VOICE] Closer. [LATIMER] Can you hear it? [VOICE] Closer. [DOCTOR] I think he's asleep. Waiting to awaken. [VOICE] Little man. [LATIMER] Why did he speak to me? [DOCTOR] Oh, low level telepathic field. You were born with it. Just anextra synaptic engram causing. Is that how he talks? [MARTHA] That's him. All you have to do is open it and he's back. [DOCTOR] You knew this all along and yet you watched while Nurse Redfernand I [MARTHA] I didn't know how to stop you. He gave me a list of things towatch out, for but that wasn't included. [DOCTOR] Falling in love? That didn't even occur to him? [MARTHA] No. [DOCTOR] Then what sort of man is that? And now you expect me to die? [MARTHA] It was always going to end, though! The Doctor said theFamily's got a limited lifespan, and that's why they need to consume aTime Lord. Otherwise, three months and they die. Like mayflies, hesaid. [DOCTOR] So your job was to execute me. [MARTHA] People are dying out there. They need him and I need him.Because you've got no idea of what he's like. I've only just met him.It wasn't even that long ago. But he is everything. He's justeverything to me and he doesn't even look at me, but I don't care,because I love him to bits. And I hope to God he won't remember mesaying this. [LATIMER] It's getting closer. [DOCTOR] I should have thought of it before. I can give them this. Justthe watch. Then they can leave and I can stay as I am. [MARTHA] You can't do that! [DOCTOR] If they want the Doctor, they can have him. [MARTHA] He'll never let you do it. [DOCTOR] If they get what they want, then, then [JOAN] Then it all ends in destruction. I never read to the end, butthose creatures would live forever to breed and conquer, for war acrossthe stars for every child. Martha, Timothy, would you leave us alone,please? [JOAN] If I could do this instead of you, then I would. I'd hoped. Butmy hopes aren't important. [DOCTOR] He won't love you. [JOAN] If he's not you, then I don't want him to. I had one husband, andhe died. I never thought, ever again. And then you were so [DOCTOR] And it was real. I wasn't. I really thought. [JOAN] Let me see. Blasted thing. Blasted, blasted thing. Can't evenhear it. It says nothing to me. --------------------------------------- (Vision) [DOCTOR] They're all safe, aren't they? The children, the grandchildren.Everyone's safe? [JOAN] Everyone's safe, and they all send their love, John. [DOCTOR] Well, it's time. Thank you. --------------------------------------- (Cottage) [DOCTOR] Did you see? [JOAN] The Time Lord has such adventures, but he could never have a lifelike that. [DOCTOR] And yet I could. [JOAN] What are you going to do? --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [BAINES] We'll blast them into dust, then fuse thedust into glass, then shatter them all over again. [DOCTOR] Just [DOCTOR] Just stop the bombardment. That's all I'm asking. I'll doanything you want, just, just stop. [BAINES] Say please. [DOCTOR] Please. [JENNY] Wait a minute. (sniff) Still human. [DOCTOR] Now I can't, I can't pretend to understand, not for a second,but I want you to know I'm innocent in all this. He made me John Smith.It's not like I had any control over it. [JENNY] He didn't just make himself human. He made himself an idiot. [BAINES] Same thing, isn't it? [DOCTOR] I don't care about this Doctor and your family. I just want youto go. So I've made my choice. You can have him. Just take it, please!Take him away. [BAINES] At last. [BAINES] Don't think that saved your life. [BAINES] Family of Mine, now we shall have the lives of a Time Lord. [BAINES] It's empty! [DOCTOR] Where's it gone? [BAINES] You tell me. [DOCTOR] Oh, I think the explanation might be you've been fooled by asimple olfactory misdirection. Little bit like ventriloquism of thenose. It's an elementary trick in certain parts of the galaxy. But ithas got to be said, I don't like the looks of that hydroconometer. Itseems to be indicating you've got energy feedback all the way throughthe retrostabilisers feeding back into the primary heat converters. Oh.Because if there's one thing you shouldn't have done, you shouldn'thave let me press all those buttons. But, in fairness, I will give youone word of advice. Run. [BAINES] Get out! Get out! --------------------------------------- (Coopers Field) [BAINES [OC]] He never raised his voice. That was the worst thing. Thefury of the Time Lord. And then we discovered why. Why this Doctor, whohad fought with gods and demons, why he'd run away from us and hidden.He was being kind. [BAINES [OC]] He wrapped my father in unbreakable chains, forged in theheart of a dwarf star. He tricked my mother into the event horizon of acollapsing galaxy to be imprisoned there forever. [BAINES [OC]] He still visits my little sister once a year every year. Iwonder if one day he might forgive her, but there she is. Can you see?He trapped her inside a mirror, every mirror. If ever you look at yourreflection and see something move behind you, just for a second, that'sher. That's always her. As for me, I was suspended in time. And theDoctor put me to work standing over the fields of England, as theirprotector. [BAINES [OC]] We wanted to live forever, so the Doctor made sure that wedid. --------------------------------------- (Cottage) [JOAN] Is it done? [DOCTOR] It's done. [JOAN] The police and the army are at the school. The parents have cometo take the boys home. I should go. They'll have so many questions. I'mnot sure what to say. Oh, you look the same. Goodness, you must forgivemy rudeness. I find it difficult to look at you. Doctor, I must callyou Doctor. Where is he? John Smith? [DOCTOR] He's in here somewhere. [JOAN] Like a story. Could you change back? [DOCTOR] Yes. [JOAN] Will you? [DOCTOR] No. [JOAN] I see. Well, then. He was braver that you in the end, thatordinary man. You chose to change. He chose to die. [DOCTOR] Come with me. [JOAN] I'm sorry? [DOCTOR] Travel with me. [JOAN] As what? [DOCTOR] My companion. [JOAN] But that's not fair. What must I look like to you, Doctor? I mustseem so very small. [DOCTOR] No. We could start again. I'd like that. You and me. We couldtry, at least. Because everything that John Smith is and was, I'mcapable of that, too. [JOAN] I can't. [DOCTOR] Please come with me. [JOAN] I can't. [DOCTOR] Why not? [JOAN] John Smith is dead, and you look like him. [DOCTOR] But he's here, inside, if you look in my eyes. [JOAN] Answer me this. Just one question, that's all. If the Doctor hadnever visited us, if he'd never chosen this place on a whim, wouldanybody here have died? (no answer) You can go. --------------------------------------- (Field) [DOCTOR] Right then. Molto bene. [MARTHA] How was she? [DOCTOR] Time we moved on. [MARTHA] If you want, I could go and [DOCTOR] Time we moved on. [MARTHA] Er, I meant to say, back there, last night. I would have saidanything to get you to change. [DOCTOR] Oh yeah, of course you would. Yeah. [MARTHA] I mean, I wasn't really [DOCTOR] Oh, no, no. [MARTHA] Good. [DOCTOR] Fine. [MARTHA] So here we are then. [DOCTOR] There we are, yes. And I never said. Thanks for looking afterme. [LATIMER] Doctor. Martha. [DOCTOR] Tim Timothy Timber. [LATIMER] I just wanted to say goodbye. And thank you. Because I've seenthe future and I now know what must be done. It's coming, isn't it? Thebiggest war ever. [MARTHA] You don't have to fight. [LATIMER] I think we do. [MARTHA] But you could get hurt. [LATIMER] Well, so could you, travelling around with him, but it's notgoing to stop you. [DOCTOR] Tim, I'd be honoured if you'd take this. [LATIMER] I can't hear anything. [DOCTOR] No, it's just a watch now. But keep it with you, for good luck. [MARTHA] Look after yourself.

Doctor Who (11 Sep, 1965; First Doctor) - Galaxy Four [VICKI] Arrived, have we? [DOCTOR] We have, my dear. [STEVEN] Good. Where? [DOCTOR] Well, we should know about that when we have a look at thescanner, shan't we. Now, you can both take a look. [STEVEN] Where are we, Doctor? Is it a planet you recognise? [VICKI] Keep still, you nuisance! It's [STEVEN] I just want to know where we are. [DOCTOR] Quiet, both of you, will you?! Listen. Listen. [STEVEN] Listen to what? I can't hear a thing. [DOCTOR] Exactly. Exactly. There isn't a sound out there. Not a sound!Just silence. [DOCTOR] Well, the atmospheric pressure's quite normal. Oxygen,temperature, radiation. It's all quite normal. I wonder. Hmm. I wonderif it's possible to have a planet so obviously conducive to life andyet without any? [VICKI] Well, I've finished chopping this fellow. Could we go out andsee? [DOCTOR] Yes, I don't see why not, my child. It appears absolutelydeserted. As a matter of fact, I think we shall get some long-deserved,undisturbed peace for once. [STEVEN] Not bad. It's a bit amateurish, really. [VICKI] Oh, come on. [STEVEN] Hey, you know, there might be a lake or a river around, Doctor.Do you fancy a swim? [DOCTOR] My dear young man, this isn't a joy ride. This is a scientificexpedition. [STEVEN] Oh, come off it, Doctor. You can't be scientific all the time.Anyway, you look as if you could do with a good wash-down. [VICKI] What, get him in cold water? You'll be lucky. [DOCTOR] From past experience, we must always be on our guard. [STEVEN] Yes, well I'm prepared to take the risk. [VICKI] What's that? [STEVEN] Well, are we all ready, then? [DOCTOR] Shh, shh! [STEVEN] What's going on? [VICKI] Something is feeling it's way around the ship. [DOCTOR] Yes. Like something trying to discover by touch. Somethingblind. [VICKI] It's just reaching this corner now. [DOCTOR] Yes, it is blind. [VICKI] Whatever it is. [DOCTOR] As you say, my dear, whatever it is. [DOCTOR] Just look, now. Now look, that's something quite different,isn't it? [STEVEN] You know, Doctor, it looks to me as if it's sending some kindof message. What do you think? [DOCTOR] Yes, yes, it might be that. To its controller, whoever it mightbe. [STEVEN] Yes, or whatever it might be. [VICKI] Oh, look. It's got a sort of chumbley movement. [STEVEN] Chumbley? [VICKI] Yes, you know, all sort of chumbley. [DOCTOR] It's gone now. [STEVEN] Bang goes my swimming. [VICKI] Oh, it doesn't take much to put you off. A sweet little thinglike that? [DOCTOR] You know, I must be wrong, child. There is life out there. Yes,a very intelligent, highly intelligent life, to build machines likethat. [VICKI] Chumbley. [DOCTOR] Well, Chumbley, if you like, my child. [STEVEN] You know, Doctor, that thing might have been dangerous. Whatare we going to do about it? [DOCTOR] I'm going to find out. Come along, my child, and bring mystick. --------------------------------------- (Planet surface) [DOCTOR] Oh, it's delightful. Yes, thank you. Justabout the right amount of oxygen. [VICKI] Mmm. I can smell flowers. [DOCTOR] Oh, indeed, how delightful. Well, there's one thing child,there's no Chumblies about. [STEVEN] Vicki. Look at this. [VICKI] Three suns? [STEVEN] Yes, I wonder which one we're revolving around. [VICKI] Oh look, there's those flowers that I could smell. Hey, they'reroses. No, they're not. Not quite roses, but almost. [DOCTOR] This silence reminds of the planet Xeros. [VICKI] You don't think we've jumped the time track again, do you? [DOCTOR] No, no, my dear, not again, not again, but it's so quiet. [STEVEN] It's almost too quiet. [VICKI] Doctor! A Chumbley! [STEVEN] That one looks pretty vicious, Doctor. Is that a gun? [DOCTOR] Stand still, otherwise we all might be killed. We come inpeace. We don't wish you any harm. [VICKI] He can't speak. [DOCTOR] No, but by the look of that thing sticking out in front, it'sunmistakably like a speaker to me. [VICKI] It's trying to talk. Steven, look out! [DOCTOR] You dumb fool! [STEVEN] I was only trying to get [DOCTOR] Oh, indeed. That was very noble of you, indeed. Now you've putthe thing on its guard. Yes, it's interesting, it's fascinating. Didyou notice that it didn't do anything until you made a noise? [STEVEN] Yes, it is blind. [VICKI] But it can hear. [DOCTOR] Oh yes, and very accurately. You know, I believe it can locateus by some form of heat wave, as it were. [STEVEN] Do you get that feeling that it wants us to go somewhere,Doctor? [DOCTOR] Stand still. Don't let it move you. [DOCTOR] As neat a threat as ever I saw. [VICKI] What was it? [DOCTOR] Well, it's some kind of light ray, very powerful and dangerous,I would say. I think we're better do what the thing wants. [STEVEN] Yes, come on Vicki. [DOCTOR] What's that? [VICKI] Who are they? [STEVEN] I have no idea, but aren't they a lovely surprise. [DRAHVIN 1] We are the Drahvin. [STEVEN] And very nice too. [DOCTOR] What might the Drahvins be? [DRAHVIN 1] We are from the planet Drahva, in Galaxy Four. [STEVEN] Yes, well you seem to have put a pretty effective stop to thisthing. [DRAHVIN 1] As long as the metal mesh covers it, the control wavescannot reach it. [VICKI] What do you want? [DRAHVIN 2] We came to rescue you from the machine. [STEVEN] Why? [DRAHVIN 2] Maaga will tell you. [STEVEN] Maaga? [DRAHVIN 1] Our leader. [DOCTOR] Why can't you tell us? [DRAHVIN 1] Our mission was to rescue you. We have done that. We have noother instructions except to take you to Maaga. [DRAHVIN 2] We do nothing until a leader speaks. [DOCTOR] I see. [DRAHVIN 2] You will come now. [VICKI] Doctor, I don't trust them. I don't think we should go withthem. [DRAHVIN 1] If you stay here, more machines will come. They will captureyou and take you to the Rills. [DOCTOR] The Rills. Are these the people that control these things? [DRAHVIN 2] They are not people. [DRAHVIN 1] They are things. [DRAHVIN 2] They crawl. [DRAHVIN 1] They murder. [VICKI] Murder? [DRAHVIN 2] They have already killed one of us. [DOCTOR] Oh, I should like to meet these Rills. [STEVEN] And be killed, Doctor? [DOCTOR] It's only what they say, and who are they? [STEVEN] At least they stopped the Chumbley. Doesn't that provesomething? [DOCTOR] Yes, all right. Well, perhaps you'd better take us to thisMaaga, this leader, whatever it is. [VICKI] Doctor! More Chumblies! [DRAHVIN 1] The mesh! [DRAHVIN 2] It's caught! [DOCTOR] They're all magnetised so that you can't get the top off. [VICKI] They're getting close! [DOCTOR] Goodness gracious! [STEVEN] It won't come off. Let's leave it. [DRAHVIN 2] We were instructed not to lose it. [STEVEN] Were you instructed to be killed as well? [DRAHVIN 1] We must go! [DOCTOR] Come! Come! [VICKI] All right, Doctor! [DOCTOR] Quickly! Quickly! --------------------------------------- (Outside the spaceship) [DOCTOR] Oh, good gracious! [VICKI] Are you all right? [DOCTOR] Yes, I think so. It's all this physical exercise at my age. [DRAHVIN 2] They're nearly here. Quickly, inside. --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [DRAHVIN 1] Close external door. [DRAHVIN 3] Close external door. [STEVEN] Well, it was a decent space ship once. [DOCTOR] It's pretty backward now, isn't it? Yes, it's almost fossilised. [STEVEN] Oh I don't know, it's got one or two good features. [VICKI] We only just beat those Chumblies. They're still outside. [DOCTOR] Are we safe here? [DRAHVIN 1] Yes. They cannot enter. [DRAHVIN 2] Silence. Maaga is coming. [DOCTOR] Maaga. We're back there again. [MAAGA] Report. [DRAHVIN 1] Mission accomplished. We have brought the prisoners. [VICKI] Prisoners? [MAAGA] And the metal mesh? [DRAHVIN 1] It stopped the machine. [MAAGA] Good. [DRAHVIN 1] We could not get the mesh back. [MAAGA] What? [DRAHVIN 1] It became affixed to the machine. [STEVEN] She's got them pretty frightened, hasn't she, Doctor? [DOCTOR] Yes, madam, the young lady speaks the truth. The Chumblies aremagnetised. [MAAGA] I will deal with you both later. Sit. I'm sorry to have kept youwaiting. Won't you sit down? [DOCTOR] Yes, thank you, I will. [MAAGA] I have to hear the report first. [DOCTOR] Oh, naturally. [MAAGA] It is necessary when you're at war. [STEVEN] At war? [MAAGA] With the Rills and their machines. [VICKI] The Chumblies! [MAAGA] This is a fight to the death for existence itself. [DOCTOR] I see. [MAAGA] in which one of us will be obliterated. [DOCTOR] Oh, as bad as that? [MAAGA] Yes. So bad that it is conceivable that you, too, will beobliterated. [DOCTOR] Oh, come now, there's no need to exaggerate. [MAAGA] It's no exaggeration. [VICKI] You want to kill us, don't you? You want to. [MAAGA] When a planet disintegrates, nothing survives. [DOCTOR] Disintegrates? This planet? [MAAGA] Yes, it's in its last moments of life. Soon it will explode. [DOCTOR] When? [MAAGA] In fourteen dawns time. [STEVEN] Look, how do you know? How can you be so certain? [MAAGA] The Rills told us. That is why they're repairing theirspaceship, so that they can escape. [DOCTOR] Well, that sounds reasonable enough to me. [MAAGA] We must capture that spaceship from them. [STEVEN] What for? This is a spaceship as well, isn't it? [MAAGA] Yes, but it cannot fly. The Rills shot us down. We cannot move. [STEVEN] You, you don't belong here? [MAAGA] No. Nor do the Rills. There is no life on this planet. We comefrom Drahva. Some four hundred dawns ago, we were investigating thisparticular section of the galaxy. We were looking for a planet such asthis, capable of supporting life so that we might colonise it. Thereare too many of us on Drahva. [STEVEN] All women? [MAAGA] Women? [DOCTOR] Yes, feminine. Ah, female. [MAAGA] Oh, we have a small number of men, as many as we need. The restwe kill. They consume valuable food and fulfill no particular function. [MAAGA] And these are not what you would call human. They are cultivatedin test tubes. We have very good scientists. I am a living being. Theyare products, and inferior products. Grown for a purpose and capable ofnothing more. [STEVEN] Grown for what purpose? [MAAGA] To fight. To kill. [DOCTOR] Yours must be a very interesting civilisation. You attacked theRills? [MAAGA] No. We were in space above this planet when we saw a ship suchas we had never seen before. We did not know it, but it was a Rillship. It fired on us, and we crashed. But before we did, we managed tofire back so that they'd crash, too. On landing they killed one of mysoldiers. [STEVEN] What are they like, these Rills? [MAAGA] Disgusting! [DOCTOR] Well, that's no description, no description at all. [MAAGA] That's all I'll say. [DOCTOR] Yes, I think I'm beginning to understand. [STEVEN] Yes, so am I, Doctor. This planet's about to explode, the Rillshave managed to repair their ship in time so they can escape. Youhaven't, so you want their ship. [MAAGA] We have no desire to be here when this planet ceases to exist. [DRAHVIN 3] Machine approaching! [MAAGA] To your stations. Switch off the outside radio. [VICKI] What are they doing now? [STEVEN] They're going to have another go at the Chumblies, by the lookof things. [DOCTOR] Switch off the outside radio? Why, I wonder? [MAAGA] They send the machines to tell us lies. We do not wish to hearthem. [DOCTOR] Yes, yes, madam! You may not but I'd like to hear it. [MAAGA] It's not good for my soldiers. [DOCTOR] Ah, I see. It's stopped. [MAAGA] Yes. Now it is sending its message. Fire! [DOCTOR] You didn't do it very much damage, did you? [MAAGA] My only intention was to scare it off. We've succeeded. To yourplaces. [DOCTOR] And you haven't destroyed one Chumbley yet. [MAAGA] We will. [DOCTOR] You know, I think you rather underestimate the Rills. Whyshould they tell you that this planet is going to die? [MAAGA] They were trying to tempt us on board their spaceship so thatthey may kill us. [STEVEN] You know, it seems to me as if they offered you help. [MAAGA] That is what they maintain. [VICKI] They might have been speaking the truth. They might have meantit. [DOCTOR] On the other hand, it might have been a pack of lies. [MAAGA] What do you mean? [DOCTOR] Well this planet could last another million years. [MAAGA] Yes, but we have no way of proving. [DOCTOR] I have. I'm a scientist. [MAAGA] Very well. I should be grateful if you would find out. [DOCTOR] Oh, thank you, thank you. Well, I'm afraid we shall have to goback to my ship. [MAAGA] Oh, wait! You cannot all go. [DOCTOR] Oh, but why? [VICKI] Prisoners, are we? [MAAGA] Of course not. But if you should encounter the machines [STEVEN] What of it? [MAAGA] I could not guarantee to rescue you again. [DOCTOR] Oh, you worry too much! [MAAGA] I shall feel easier if one of you remain behind. [VICKI] I'll stay. [DOCTOR] But my dear! [VICKI] I'll stay. You'll need Steven anyway if you bump into theChumblies again. [DOCTOR] Yes, well, very well. Young man, you and I will go. [DRAHVIN] Door opening! [STEVEN] We won't be long, Vicki. I promise we won't get lost. --------------------------------------- (Outside the Tardis) [STEVEN] Chumblies! [STEVEN] Can they get in Doctor? [DOCTOR] Well, they'd have to be pretty well advanced to break my forcebarrier. [STEVEN] How do you know they aren't? [DOCTOR] Hmm? --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [MAAGA] To lose the mesh was gross incompetence. It was our only weaponagainst the machines. If we lose to the Rills it will be because ofyou. You want that, do you? [DRAHVINS] (groans, groans) [MAAGA] You want to be captured by those creeping, revolting, greenmonsters? You want their slimy claws to close about your necks? [DRAHVINS] No, no Maaga, no. [MAAGA] You fools. You fools. --------------------------------------- (Outside the Tardis) [DOCTOR] I wonder what they're up to, eh? [STEVEN] Trying something else by the look of it. [DOCTOR] There, you see, my boy? Look. Not a scratch. Not a scratch. [STEVEN] Yes, well, are we going in or not, Doctor? [DOCTOR] I certainly excelled myself with that force barrier. [STEVEN] Yes, Doctor. [DOCTOR] Oh, now wait a minute. I think they've all gone to bed. Well,it's a very good thing I brought you around, young man, to tell me whatI'm supposed to be doing. [STEVEN] Yes, you're so right, Doctor. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [STEVEN] Well, Doctor? Will this planet explode? [DOCTOR] The Rills were quite right. [STEVEN] We've got to get off the planet. [DOCTOR] Yes, if the Drahvins let us go. [STEVEN] We've got to make that sure they do. [DOCTOR] They need our help with the Rills! Why do you think they'veheld Vicki back? [STEVEN] Okay, but we've got to get off here somehow! [DOCTOR] It's imperative that we leave at once. [STEVEN] Why is that that? The Drahvins did say fourteen dawns. [DOCTOR] Two dawns! Tomorrow is the last day this planet will ever see. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [STEVEN] We've got to get back, get Vicki away from the Drahvins. [STEVEN] The doors, Doctor! Can we see the scanner? [STEVEN] What's that it's got? [DOCTOR] I wish I knew. [STEVEN] Perhaps it's just going to stand guard there. [DOCTOR] No. No, it's waiting for something. [STEVEN] But what? [DOCTOR] I can't quite see. [STEVEN] Doctor, I think it's holding a couple of wires. Look out! [STEVEN] Doctor? Doctor, where are you? [STEVEN] Doctor. [DOCTOR] Oh, thank you. Oh! Oh! I think Guy Fawkes must have beenresurrected. [STEVEN] Oh, please, Doctor! You all right? [DOCTOR] Yes, well. Are you all right dear boy? [STEVEN] Yes, fine, thanks. Do you think it's done any damage? [DOCTOR] No, no, no. no, no, no, no. It'd take more than that to get inhere. [STEVEN] It's all right, Doctor. I think it's just come to investigate. [DOCTOR] Yes, well, it's going to be disappointed, isn't it. Look, yousee? There they go. Look, away into the distance, empty-handed. [STEVEN] Yes, they've given up. [DOCTOR] Yes, yes, unless they come back with a piece more trouble, Iwonder. Come on, we must go. So little time. [STEVEN] Two dawns, hmm? [DOCTOR] Two dawns. Come on, come on! --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [MAAGA] Are you sure you won't eat? [VICKI] No. Thank you. [MAAGA] It's very good. [VICKI] It looks like leaves to me. [MAAGA] It is leaves. [VICKI] Leaves? Is that what you eat? [MAAGA] Of course. [VICKI] Yuk. [MAAGA] Everything that lives must eat. [VICKI] They've been gone ages. It must be at least two hours. [MAAGA] They'll be back soon. [VICKI] Not if a Chumbley gets them first. [MAAGA] They won't allow themselves to be caught. They're much tooworried about you. [VICKI] That's why you've kept me here, isn't it. Isn't it? [MAAGA] You're safe here. [VICKI] Safe. [MAAGA] Exactly. [VICKI] Look, can't I go and look for them? [MAAGA] If they're not back soon, we will go and look for them. [VICKI] But let me go, now. [MAAGA] No, I can't let you do that, because you might all escape inyour spaceship. And we need your help. [VICKI] Whether we want to give it or not. [MAAGA] Oh, I'm sure that all of you want to help us. --------------------------------------- (Outside the spaceship) [STEVEN] Well, we've made it Doctor. You know, thisis a pretty strange kind of spaceship. [DOCTOR] Are you talking to yourself, dear boy? [STEVEN] I was just saying that it's a strange kind of spaceship.Old-fashioned. [DOCTOR] Yes, yes. I don't think much of it. It's not very welladvanced, is it? In fact, as you say, it's old-fashioned. Yes. I don'tthink these Drahvins are very intelligent, do you? [STEVEN] Yeah, but it's the metal, I mean, Doctor, you know. Well, it'sinferior. [DOCTOR] Yes, well, it's tough, but, it's not impregnable. No, it's verycommon metal really. Yes, its it's nothing unusual, nothing unusual.Well, I suggest that we go in instead of standing around here admiringthe scenery. Come along. [STEVEN] Well, what are you talking about, Doctor? It's you who stoppedto fiddle around on the outside. [DOCTOR] But you brought up the subject. Now don't argue, please. Don'targue. I've never heard such rubbish. --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [MAAGA] Your friends, safe, you see? [VICKI] No thanks to you, though, is it? [STEVEN] All right Doctor? [DOCTOR] Yes, yes, yes, yes. [VICKI] Oh, Doctor, you're all right! [DOCTOR] Yes, my child, I'm all right. [VICKI] But, you were away so long. [STEVEN] Yes, well, we'd have been a lot quicker if it hadn't been forthe Doc. We got held up by a Chumbley. [DOCTOR] They tried to blow us up inside the Tardis. [MAAGA] They didn't succeed? [DOCTOR] Well of course they didn't. My ship's not made of tin like thisold trash. Oh, good gracious me! Seems if I cough too loudly, the wholething'd fall to pieces. [MAAGA] It served its purpose. [DOCTOR] Ah, yes. Whatever that might be. [DOCTOR] Is that necessary? [MAAGA] We have to protect ourselves against the machines. [DOCTOR] Hmm. [MAAGA] Did you find out about this planet? [DOCTOR] Yes. [MAAGA] Will it explode? [DOCTOR] I'm afraid so. [MAAGA] When? [DOCTOR] Exactly when the Rills said it would. In fourteen dawns time. [MAAGA] Fourteen dawns. [VICKI] Well, we should go, shouldn't we? We should [MAAGA] Doctor. [DOCTOR] Hmm? [MAAGA] Will you help us? [DOCTOR] To do what, exactly? [MAAGA] To capture the Rill spaceship so that we can escape. [DOCTOR] And how do I do that? What happens then? [MAAGA] What do you mean? [DOCTOR] Well, I mean, what happens to the Rills? [MAAGA] Well, they remain on this planet. [VICKI] To be blown up? [MAAGA] They are murderers! [STEVEN] Why couldn't you take them off with you? [MAAGA] Because they're evil. You only have to see them to know. Evil! [DOCTOR] We only have your word for that. In any case, I can't help you. [MAAGA] Why not? [DOCTOR] In the first place, madam, I never kill anything. Neither do myfriends. [MAAGA] Well, either the Rills die or we do. [DOCTOR] Or, as the young man suggests, why don't you both go offtogether? [MAAGA] Impossible! [STEVEN] Come on, what's so impossible about it? Have you ever triedbeing friendly? [DOCTOR] Yes, a very good question, dear boy. [VICKI] It seems to me you want to be enemies. [MAAGA] The situation was forced upon us. [STEVEN] Or maybe they killed your soldier by mistake. [MAAGA] There's no mistake about it. [STEVEN] Well, you seem pretty sure for someone who was half unconsciousafter the crash. [MAAGA] You, too, doubt my word. [VICKI] We'd be pretty stupid not to. [DOCTOR] Yes, all these objections sum up mine. It's none of ourbusiness. It's impossible. I'm afraid we can't help you. And it doesappear to me that none of you have tried to help yourselves. [STEVEN] Too busy fighting. [MAAGA] You will not change your mind? [DOCTOR] No. [MAAGA] This is your last chance. [DOCTOR] Very likely. [MAAGA] You may not realise it, but at first I point this at your handand then I pull the trigger and [VICKI] Steven! [DOCTOR] A very good attempt, my boy. Never mind. [MAAGA] You'll help us now? [DOCTOR] Yes, I don't seem to have much chance. [MAAGA] You have none whatsoever. The Rills are repairing theirspaceship. They have fourteen dawns in which to complete it. [MAAGA] It is fourteen, isn't it? [DOCTOR] Oh, er, yes, quite. [MAAGA] You sure? [DOCTOR] Yes, quite sure. [MAAGA] Suddenly I don't believe you. [DOCTOR] Oh, but why should I lie? [MAAGA] I don't know. To trick us or something. When is this planet dueto explode? [DOCTOR] Fourteen dawns time. [MAAGA] Very well, we shall kill the girl. [DOCTOR] Two dawns. [MAAGA] As soon as that? Well, you'll have to work quickly. The Rillspaceship is that way. You will capture it for us. [DOCTOR] It may not be ready yet. [STEVEN] If it were, they'd have taken off by now. [MAAGA] I'm sure the Doctor can cope with that. [DOCTOR] Oh, you have great faith in me, haven't you. [MAAGA] Yes, I have, because I shall keep one of you here. I shall keepthe girl. [STEVEN] Oh no you won't. You'll keep me. [MAAGA] I said I shall keep [STEVEN] Do you want our help or don't you? [DOCTOR] You will do as the young man suggests. [MAAGA] Very well, we'll keep him. [DOCTOR] Come along, Vicki. We have very little time. Madam, do I beginby walking through this? [STEVEN] Do you honestly believe that they can capture the Rills'spaceship all by themselves? [MAAGA] Either they succeed, or we all die together. --------------------------------------- (Outside the spaceship) [VICKI] Doctor, come on. What are you standing there for? [DOCTOR] Oh, I was just ruminating about the night and day. I waswondering when it was going to get dark, then I just realised thatthere's three suns on this planet. [VICKI] What, you don't think they have night here at all? [DOCTOR] Oh yes, they must, my dear, they must, otherwise this Maagawoman wouldn't be talking about dawns. Probably lasts about two hours. [VICKI] Two hours? [DOCTOR] You remember when we were captured by those Chumblies? [VICKI] Yes, I do. [DOCTOR] That ray gun, why did they use it on the ship? I mean, if theRills are such enemies of the Drahvins, why don't they just wipe themout? [VICKI] Maybe their rays can't cut through metal or [DOCTOR] Oh, don't you believe that, my dear. Don't you believe that forone minute. No, that ray gun could go through this like a piece ofpaper. [VICKI] Oh. They don't even seem to have tried. [DOCTOR] No, it's all very odd, isn't it? Yes, it's very odd. [VICKI] Come on, Doctor, you said we haven't much time. [DOCTOR] Oh. Yes, of course, nearly one dawn. Yes, we must start thatjourney. Are you nervous? [VICKI] Well, they sounded a bit nasty, didn't they? --------------------------------------- (Inside the spaceship) [STEVEN] Yes, well, it still won't work, but at least it looks prettiernow. Can I have some food? [STEVEN] Is this all there is? [DRAHVIN 1] That is our food. [STEVEN] Ugh. Does Maaga eat this? [DRAHVIN 1] No! She is our leader. [STEVEN] Well, then I'll have some of what she eats. [DRAHVIN 1] You cannot. It is food for our leaders only. [STEVEN] Well, that hardly seems fair, does it? [DRAHVIN 1] Fair? [STEVEN] Yeah, I mean that, you know, she should have special food, andyou have to eat this? [DRAHVIN 1] It is food. [STEVEN] Does Maaga have other special things? [DRAHVIN 1] She is our leader and has leader's things. [STEVEN] What leader's things? [DRAHVIN 1] Her gun. [STEVEN] Her gun? [DRAHVIN 1] Her food. A leader's gun can destroy anything. [STEVEN] What, even the Chumblies? [DRAHVIN 1] Even the machines. [STEVEN] Well, then, you know, surely it would be better if you all hadthese guns. Well, then you wouldn't have to fear the machines. [DRAHVIN 1] There is only one gun. Maaga has that gun, as she is leader. [STEVEN] You could take it with you when you went on patrol. [DRAHVIN 1] Yes. [STEVEN] Doesn't it seem right that you should? [DRAHVIN 1] Only if Maaga says so. [STEVEN] Yes, but I mean, if you took it, and you you went out and youdestroyed the machine, Maaga would be pleased? Maaga would be pleasedif you destroyed the machine. [DRAHVIN 1] Yes. [STEVEN] Well then you should take it. [DRAHVIN 1] Yes. [STEVEN] Well, I'll tell you what. You give me your gun, whilst you goand fetch Maaga's, and then we can both fight the machines together. [DRAHVIN 1] Yes. [MAAGA] You're trying to be too clever. [MAAGA] You have done badly. You will be punished. This is a prisoner.You must not talk to him. [DRAHVIN 1] He was talking. [MAAGA] He was trying to trick you like the machine. [DRAHVIN 1] I have done wrong. I did not understand. [MAAGA] Go to your quarters. [MAAGA] You must keep out of our way. [STEVEN] I don't particularly want to be here at all. [MAAGA] You don't have to be. [STEVEN] Oh? [MAAGA] You could easily escape from this planet. [STEVEN] Oh, could I? [MAAGA] In your own ship. [STEVEN] Oh, taking you with me, of course. [MAAGA] Well, you wouldn't expect us to stay behind. [STEVEN] No, I suppose not. [MAAGA] All you have to do is to take us off this planet and you arefree. [STEVEN] What, just like that? [MAAGA] It's a fair offer. [STEVEN] Oh, yes, yes. But even assuming I believed you, that on the wayyou didn't decide that I was eating too much food, there is a snag. [MAAGA] What's that? [STEVEN] I can't operate it. I couldn't if I tried. Only the Doctorcould do that. It's his ship. Why don't you try making an offer to him?Or is it that you think he might be just a little bit too clever foryou? I'm the gullible one, is that it? I'm not much help, am I? [MAAGA] I could make you help us. [STEVEN] No, you couldn't. Not even I can do the impossible. So sorry. [MAAGA] Get over there and stay there! [STEVEN] That's an order, is it? [MAAGA] Yes, it is. [DRAHVIN 3] Maaga. [MAAGA] What is it? [DRAHVIN 3] Why do we not kill him now? [MAAGA] I will let you kill him when I am good and ready. --------------------------------------- (Planet surface) [VICKI] Doctor, we'll never get past those sentries. [DOCTOR] Fascinating things to watch, ay? I wonder what the principal ofthe operation is? I suppose it's quite simple once you know. [VICKI] Doctor. [DOCTOR] Hmm? [VICKI] How are we going to get past them? [DOCTOR] Ah, yes, yes, that's quite a problem, my child, isn't it. [VICKI] You're telling me it is. [DOCTOR] Well, now don't lose patience, you see. Now look, in this case,first we must observe, note, collate, and then conclude. After that,perhaps we can act. [VICKI] Yeah. Well, with the time we've got you have to all that in tenminutes flat. [DOCTOR] Shh, shh, shh. Quiet, quiet. [VICKI] That's your answer. [DOCTOR] What are you doing? [VICKI] Doctor, I thought [DOCTOR] Are you trying to get us killed? [VICKI] Didn't you see? They only pick up sounds in front of them. If wekeep immediately behind them, they won't know we're there. [DOCTOR] Yes, yes, yes, you may appear to be right, but it's dangerous,and it's very risky! [VICKI] That was no risk. I noted, observed, collated, concluded, andthen I threw the rock. [DOCTOR] Oh yes, yes, yes, quite so, yes, yes. You about finished? Thistime I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. But, well now, I supposewe've got to make a run for it. [VICKI] Are you sure you can manage? [DOCTOR] I think I can drag my aged limbs in some sort of semblance of arun. Go on. --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [MAAGA] Power units off. Guns down. Power unit readings. One? [DRAHVIN 1] 397. [MAAGA] Two? [DRAHVIN 2] 394. [MAAGA] Three? [DRAHVIN 3] 386. [MAAGA] Get it charged, Three. All guns must be perfect. If any one isfound defective, the owner will be severely punished. Because soon now,we will use them. I, Maaga, will see to it. Soon now, we will breakinto the Rills' spaceship, and the Rills, they will all be wiped out. --------------------------------------- (Planet surface) [VICKI] So far, so good. [DOCTOR] Look! That looks like the home of the Rills. [VICKI] That must be their space ship over there. [DOCTOR] Yes. And what's that other thing? [VICKI] It looks like a drill rig. [DOCTOR] Yes, it does, doesn't it. What could they be drilling for? [VICKI] Oil? Gas? [DOCTOR] Yeah. Well, there's only one way to find out. Go on. --------------------------------------- (Outside the Rill building) [VICKI] What on earth will we do if another one of those things comesout? [DOCTOR] We'd be in trouble. You know, this is a nice piece of building. [VICKI] It looks very temporary to me. [DOCTOR] It's most impressive. Yes, most impressive. And what's this, Iwonder? You know, I think these Rills are far more advanced than Ithought they were,. [VICKI] It looks like some kind of air purifier. [DOCTOR] Yes, or some kind of machinery for converting air intosomething else. Yes, it's most interesting. Can you see anything? [VICKI] No. [DOCTOR] I'll lead the way. --------------------------------------- (Rill Corridor) [DOCTOR] You know, this looks as though it's beenbuilt for the Chumblies. [VICKI] A Chumbley-shaped corridor. Doctor? [DOCTOR] Hmm? [VICKI] This one is for the Rills. [DOCTOR] Can you smell anything? [VICKI] Very faint though, isn't it? [DOCTOR] What is it? [VICKI] I don't know, but I feel as though I ought to. [DOCTOR] Yes, so should I. Come on. [DOCTOR] Well, I must say, it's an astonishing shape and design.Marvellous work. Marvellous. [VICKI] That smell's getting stronger, you know. [DOCTOR] That what? [VICKI] Shh! [VICKI] Oh, Doctor, I thought they'd heard us. [DOCTOR] What's it doing, listening or smelling? Come on, Come on. --------------------------------------- (Central chamber) [DOCTOR] A spaceship! [DOCTOR] You can't scratch the metal. Isn't that astounding? Yes, it'sfar superior, far superior. Wonderful stuff for a spaceship. [VICKI] Doctor? I know what that smell is now. [DOCTOR] Hmm? [VICKI] Ammonia. [(At the entrance to the Rill centre, a Chumbley moves into thepassageway. VICKI] Doctor? What do you think this thing is here? [DOCTOR] Well, I should say this is some sort of repair shop. Yes, andthat's a what, a Chumbley attachment? [VICKI] Yes. [DOCTOR] Yes, a revelation, a revelation. [VICKI] Do you think it's a baby one? [DOCTOR] Not awake just yet. --------------------------------------- (Central chamber) [DOCTOR] There's a Chumbley coming! Quickly! [DOCTOR] Come on. [VICKI] Come on, Doctor. [DOCTOR] This way. Come on, we'll make it. [VICKI] Doctor! [DOCTOR] I can't move it. It's immovable! Wait, wait, wait. I have anidea. I might be able to sabotage them. Be patient. We know what thismachine's for. This is to convert air into ammonia gas. [VICKI] Doctor, hurry up! [DOCTOR] Yes, well, have patience child. When I've finished with thismachine, I'm sure they will release you. [VICKI] Never mind about that, release these bars! [DOCTOR] No! No! That's the last thing we do. This is the thing thatgives them the gas to breathe with. [VICKI] You don't know that for certain. [DOCTOR] My dear child, the Rills can't go outside. It's a foregoneconclusion. [VICKI] Doctor. [VICKI] I think they want me to go with them. [DOCTOR] Well, I think you you'd better do what they want. [VICKI] But Doctor, that thing in there, that thing looking out of thewindow. What? [DOCTOR] Yes, that was one of the Rills, I suppose. [VICKI] Doctor, I'm so scared. [DOCTOR] Look, you go with them, quickly, but don't cause any trouble.It'll give me time to see if I can help you. I think perhaps I can dosomething to that machine, but I must have time, yes? [VICKI] All right, but be quick. [DOCTOR] All right, don't worry. Goodbye. [DRAHVIN 2] Maaga, shall we go? [MAAGA] Where? [DRAHVIN 2] To patrol. [MAAGA] I see no need. [DRAHVIN 2] To see what the other two are doing. [MAAGA] No. [DRAHVIN 2] But, Maaga [MAAGA] Can you hear me? [DRAHVIN 2] We always go out on patrol at this time. [MAAGA] Yes, but not now. Soldier Drahvins, you can't understandanything that's different, can you? You are made unintelligent, and youremain that way for the rest of your lives. I told them soldiers wereno good for space work. All they can do is kill. But they wouldn'tlisten. If you are to conquer space, they said, you will need soldiers.So here I am confronted with danger, and the only one able to think.Very well. I am your commanding officer. I am your controller, am Inot? [DRAHVIN 2] Yes, Maaga. [MAAGA] And you obey my orders? [DRAHVIN 2] Yes, Maaga. [MAAGA] Why? [DRAHVIN 2] Because you are our leader. [MAAGA] And? [DRAHVIN 2] You think. [MAAGA] And you don't know what that means. But because I think, I orderthat there'll be no patrol now. We have a prisoner. In order to savehim, the other two must help us. [DRAHVIN 1] I do not understand why they would want to help a friend. [MAAGA] I know you don't. [DRAHVIN 1] We would not. We would leave him here. [MAAGA] Yes, we would. But I have heard of creatures like these. Theyhelp one another. [DRAHVIN 3] Why, Maaga? [MAAGA] I don't know. I have heard that on occasions, they even die forone another. [DRAHVIN 3] Die? For their friends? [MAAGA] There are many strange things in the universe. [DRAHVIN 2] I do not understand. [MAAGA] I know you don't. But despite that, you will obey orders. It maybe that we shall kill neither the Rills nor the Earth creatures. Notwith our own hands, that is. It may be better for us to escape in theRills' spaceship and leave them here. And then, when we are out inspace, we can look back. We will see a vast, white, exploding planetand know that they have died with it. [DRAHVIN 1] But we will not see them die. [MAAGA] You will not. But I, at least, have enough intelligence toimagine it. The fear, the horror, the shuddering of a planet in itslast moments of life. And then they die. But that is for later.Attention! [DRAHVIN 1] He sleeps. [MAAGA] But you will not. He must not move. --------------------------------------- (Central chamber) [VICKI] Stop doing that! What do you want, anyway? [CHUMBLEY] (fast, then slowing down) What do you want anyway? What doyou want anyway? What do you want anyway? What do you want anyway? Whatdo you want anyway? We are sorry to separate you from your friend, butit was necessary. [VICKI] Who are you? [CHUMBLEY] Who are you? [VICKI] We're, er, we're time travellers from the planet Earth. [CHUMBLEY] I see. You were sent here by the Drahvins? [VICKI] Yes. [CHUMBLEY] To do us harm? [VICKI] No. No, you see the Drahvins are keeping a friend of oursprisoner. So, we had to do as they said. [CHUMBLEY] What was that? [VICKI] To capture your spaceship. [CHUMBLEY] Why do they want to capture it? We have offered to take themwith us. [VICKI] They didn't tell us that. [CHUMBLEY] No. They would not. They would rather kill. They hate us. [VICKI] Well, you did kill one of them. [CHUMBLEY] We kill no one. [VICKI] But they. Look, who is talking? Is it, is it this Chumbley, oris it someone else? [CHUMBLEY] You call the machines Chumblies? [VICKI] Yes. [CHUMBLEY] The Chumblies have a speaker in them. They are transmittingour thoughts. [VICKI] Your, your thoughts. [CHUMBLEY] We do not speak like you. We have no vocal chords. Wecommunicate in thought. [VICKI] Who are you? [CHUMBLEY] We are the Rills. [VICKI] Why can't I see you? [CHUMBLEY] It is better that you do not. Not all the dominant species inthe universe look like humans. Our appearance might shock you as itshocked the Drahvins. [VICKI] The Drahvins said that you attacked them. [CHUMBLEY] That is short of the truth. We were investigating outer spacewhen we encountered a strange ship. Rills do not attack or kill withoutgood reason, so we stopped our ship. Their ship also stopped. We hungin space facing each other. We could have turned and gone away, but wewere afraid that we would be attacked. [VICKI] Yes. Well, what happened? [CHUMBLEY] For four dawns we hung there. Then we decided to turn. As wewere doing so the Drahvins fired. Immediately we did the same, and bothships crashed. When we escaped from our ship we discovered that wecould not breathe the atmosphere here, but we had a small supply of ourown, and set out to help the Drahvins. [CHUMBLEY] The first one we found was badly injured. We started to helpthe soldier. Then Maaga, their leader, appeared. She started to shootat us, so we left. We could have fought back. Our weapons are superiorto theirs. But, we do not kill. The Drahvins do. When we looked back,we saw Maaga kill the injured soldier. [VICKI] But all the Drahvins believe that you did that. [CHUMBLEY] We know. That is why they keep attacking us. [VICKI] Would you really have taken those people off with you? [CHUMBLEY] Why not? What do we gain if they die? We will help you rescueyour friend. Something is worrying you. [VICKI] Yes, I, I wish I could see the whole of you. [CHUMBLEY] It is better that you don't. Besides, we cannot come out. Inorder to live we must have ammoniac gas. So we live in here in acompartment where it is filtered in. [VICKI] You mean you can't breathe oxygen at all? [CHUMBLEY] No. Our home planet. What is it? [VICKI] You must let me out quickly, or you'll all be killed! [CHUMBLEY] Killed? By whom? [VICKI] By the Doctor. He's trying to wreck your machine for makingammoniac gas. [MAAGA] He's trying to escape! [STEVEN] Stop! [MAAGA] You can't escape. Give up and we will not harm you. [STEVEN] I'd be a fool to believe that, wouldn't I? --------------------------------------- (Outside the spaceship) (Air converter) [VICKI] Doctor, no! Don't do it, Doctor! Doctor! [DOCTOR] Oh, child. [VICKI] Oh good. I thought I was going to be too late. [DOCTOR] Are you sure you're all right, child? [VICKI] Yes, and the Rills won't harm us. They want to help. [CHUMBLEY] We were told your friend is in danger. [DOCTOR] Is that a Rill talking? [VICKI] Yes. Well, answer him. [DOCTOR] Oh yes, you were told correctly. [VICKI] Doctor, they're not deaf. [DOCTOR] Oh, I'm sorry. I beg your pardon. I thought you couldn't hear. [CHUMBLEY] We are not deaf, you know. Perhaps you will both come inside. [DOCTOR] Ah, yes, it does occurs to me that if we do that we might betrapped. [VICKI] Doctor, if the Rills wanted to harm us, the Chumbley could shootus now. [DOCTOR] Well, yes. Indeed. Of course, child. Yes, that's quite true,quite true. Yes, well, lead the way, lead the way. As it happens, I'dlike to take a look round. What's this? What's this fellow doing? [CHUMBLEY] Going to repair the damage you have done. [DOCTOR] Ah, yes. Quite so. [DOCTOR] Tell me, what do these Rills look like? [VICKI] They won't show themselves, Doctor. [DOCTOR] Oh? Why ever not? [CHUMBLEY] Because our appearance would not be pleasant to you. [DOCTOR] Oh, what nonsense. We're not children, you know. [CHUMBLEY] It is best you do not see us. [DOCTOR] Oh, very well. Carry on, carry on. Oh, what utter rubbish,isn't it? --------------------------------------- (Central chamber) [DOCTOR] Oh, yes. This this drill rigging here. Tellme, what is it you drilling for? [CHUMBLEY] Power. We must have power for launching our spaceship. Thesuns are too weak to supply this power, therefore, by drilling we mayfind some in the ground. [DOCTOR] Very well, if you take my advice, you'll get a move on. There'svery little time left. [CHUMBLEY] You know about the explosion of this planet? [DOCTOR] Oh yes, we know more than you. Your timing is wrong. Thedisintegration of this planet is not fourteen dawns away. It is nowless than two dawns. [CHUMBLEY] Two dawns? [DOCTOR] Two dawns. [CHUMBLEY] Then we have no chance of survival. [VICKI] But you've repaired your ship. [CHUMBLEY] Yes, but the only power we find is a gas, and that is of nouse to us. We have no means of converting it into the sunray power weneed. [DOCTOR] I think I might be able to supply you with the power you need.Yes, I think I'll help you, since you're so willing to help us. [CHUMBLEY] We would be deeply grateful. [VICKI] You keep saying we. How many of you are there? [CHUMBLEY] Four. [VICKI] That doesn't seem many for manning a spaceship. [CHUMBLEY] We were twelve. Eight of us died in the crash. [DOCTOR] First I will need some metal-cored cable. [CHUMBLEY] We have some. [DOCTOR] Splendid, splendid. I think I can put into effect thetransference of power from my ship to this. Now, first of all, I musthave a conversion. Now is that possible? [CHUMBLEY] We shall do all that you say, you are our only [VICKI] What's that? [DOCTOR] What's the matter, hmm? [CHUMBLEY] We have just received a message from a machine. [VICKI] A Chumbley? [CHUMBLEY] It is by the Drahvin spaceship. It reports that a being, notDrahvin, came out of it. [VICKI] Steven. [CHUMBLEY] It detected that he was a friend of yours, but before contactcould be made, he went back in again. [VICKI] He still thinks the Chumblies are dangerous, you see. Doctor,let me go and tell him. [DOCTOR] That won't be necessary, my dear. He's quite capable enough oflooking after himself. Now, the cable, please, the cable. --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [MAAGA] Do you hear me, Earthman? [STEVEN [OC]] Yes, I hear you. [MAAGA] Throw down your gun, and we will set you free. [MAAGA] Very well, but if you try to come through here, you may kill oneof us, but we will surely kill you. Yes, outside a Rills' machine waitsto kill also. [STEVEN [OC]] All right. I'll stay here. I may be trapped but you can'tharm me. [MAAGA] You are in the airlock. On the wall there are some dials. Theyare pressure gauges. [STEVEN] So? [MAAGA] We can empty the oxygen out of that section and you willsuffocate. [MAAGA] If you touch that, the door will open completely, leaving you atthe mercy of the machine. [DRAHVIN 2] Ready? [MAAGA] Pressure? [DRAHVIN 2] Normal. [MAAGA] Temperature? [DRAHVIN 2] Normal. [MAAGA] Good. Empty the airlock. Yes, Earthman. The air is alreadyleaving the airlock. You have three choices. [STEVEN [OC]] Three? [MAAGA] Stay there and die, go outside and be killed by the machine, orsurrender. --------------------------------------- (Central chamber) [DOCTOR] Yes, good. Good. Yes, I think that'senough. That should be all right. Now then, let me have your arm.That's splendid. Now, follow me to the ship. [CHUMBLEY] Our thanks. [VICKI] What does that mean? [CHUMBLEY] The Chumbley has reported that your friend is still in theship, but he is making noises that it cannot understand. It says theysound like cries of distress. [VICKI] Doctor! [DOCTOR] I must go at once. [CHUMBLEY] You cannot help him alone. We will send two more Chumbleymachines with you. [DOCTOR] But what can they do? [CHUMBLEY] Cut open the ship, if necessary. [VICKI] Doctor, come on! [CHUMBLEY] Go quickly! The Chumbley reports that the sounds areweakening. [DOCTOR] You stay here, child. [VICKI] No, I'm coming with you! [DOCTOR] All right. Come, then, come. Come along. And you, stay hereuntil you receive a message. Come on! Quickly! Quickly! Quick! --------------------------------------- (Outside the spaceship) [DRAHVIN 1] Halt or I fire! Do not move. [DOCTOR] What is wrong? [DRAHVIN 1] Where are you going? [DOCTOR] Back to your spaceship, of course. [DRAHVIN 1] The machines are our enemies. Why do you bring them too? [DOCTOR] We're going to help you and Maaga and the rest of them to getto the Rill spaceship. We wish to save lives, not to destroy them. [DRAHVIN 1] Maaga does not trust you. I do not trust you. [VICKI] Listen, we have captured these machines. They do anything wetell them now. Watch. Come forward. Stop. Go back. Stop. [DOCTOR] Now, madam! Listen to me! [DRAHVIN 1] Kill me now. I have failed my duty. [DOCTOR] Nonsense. Let us stop this thought of killing anyone. Now,madam, back to your spaceship. Back please. [VICKI] Go on. Hurry. --------------------------------------- (Airlock) [MAAGA [OC]] Why do you not give up, Earthman? [STEVEN] I'd rather face the Chumblies than you any day. [MAAGA [OC]] That will not work now. The pressure has locked the door.You must surrender, or die. [DRAHVIN 2] He cannot live much longer, Maaga. Soon he will die. [MAAGA] We do not wish him dead. [DRAHVIN 2] But he is our enemy. [MAAGA] Also our hostage. [DRAHVIN 3] Machine with bomb approaching! [MAAGA] Quick, take cover! [CHUMBLEY [OC]] Stand clear! --------------------------------------- (Outside the spaceship) [CHUMBLEY] All right, it's safe now. [VICKI] Steven? [DOCTOR] Come along, my boy. Up on your feet. Quickly! Come along. Comeon, come on. Put your head down. Now breathe deeply. Come along. [VICKI] They nearly killed him in there. Come on, let's get away fromthere in case they come out. [DOCTOR] Steady. Take it easy. You're with friends. [VICKI] Are you all right? [DOCTOR] Yes, thanks to the Chumblies. They did the trick. I don't knowwhat those Drahvins were going to think. Come on, keep breathing. Keepbreathing. In and out. In and out. Come on. [MAAGA] Guns ready. Door. After them, and kill! --------------------------------------- (Outside the spaceship) [DOCTOR] Be all right in a minute. [CHUMBLEY] Stop! If you move at all, we shall fire. Do not mistake ourintention. You will not interfere. Doctor, please lead your party away. [DOCTOR] I certainly will. Can you walk? Come on, my boy, on your feet.Come along. That way. That way. Come on. Keep breathing hard. In andout. [CHUMBLEY] Maaga, you will take your soldiers back into the ship, andyou will stay there. Until now we have spared you, although you haveattacked us time and time again. But we will always defend our friends. [MAAGA] Friends. [CHUMBLEY] We will prevent any attempt on your part to leave the ship. Iam resolute. Now, go back into your spaceship. [MAAGA] You have polluted the air with your bomb. [CHUMBLEY] It will have cleared by now. The ammonia bomb was only awarning. Go inside. [MAAGA] Come. [MAAGA] It's still there. [DRAHVIN 2] We cannot escape. [MAAGA] Quiet! [DRAHVIN 1] But Maaga, we [MAAGA] We cannot escape yet, but we will. No Drahvin is defeated untildead. Is that so? [DRAHVINS] Yes, Maaga. [MAAGA] We are still alive. It depends how long that machine will be.You failed in your mission of patrol. [DRAHVIN 1] I was outnumbered. [MAAGA] You will be dealt with. Failure is never tolerated. You. Doesthe forward hatch still work? [DRAHVIN 3] Yes, Maaga. [MAAGA] Silently? [DRAHVIN 3] Yes, Maaga. [MAAGA] It is now dim light. Soon it will be night. The last night thisplanet will ever know. We must capture the Rill spaceship before then.When I give the order, you will steal silently through the forwardhatch. You will then creep round behind the Rills' machine. Understood? [DRAHVIN 3] Yes, Maaga. [MAAGA] And you will destroy it. --------------------------------------- (Central chamber) [STEVEN] Ugh! [VICKI] It's that ammoniac gas we were telling you about. [STEVEN] I'd rather they breathed it than me. [VICKI] Doctor? There can't be a lot of time left now, is there? [DOCTOR] About six hours, child. Have you finished that conversion? [CHUMBLEY] Yes, we have, but it will take some time to transfer thepower of your ship to ours. [DOCTOR] Oh, nonsense, nonsense. [CHUMBLEY] We are concerned for your safety. [VICKI] And we're concerned for yours. [DOCTOR] Oh, indeed, that's very noble of you all. It's a matter ofurgency. Come along, let's have the cable in please at once. [CHUMBLEY] Very well. [DOCTOR] Quickly, quickly. Quickly, child. Here. Yes, that'll do.Splendid. [STEVEN] What is going on, Doctor? [DOCTOR] Hmm? [STEVEN] What are you trying to do? [DOCTOR] I'm going to try to transfer power from my ship into theinterior of the Rill ship here. [STEVEN] Oh, I see. [DOCTOR] Now if you suspect there's any trouble whilst I'm working, Iwant you to contact me at once, understood? [STEVEN] But you want me to stay here? [DOCTOR] Yes, I want you to stay here with the leader of the Rills andtry and have some rest. Get some. So, contain yourself. Now then.Right, off you go. [VICKI] Can I come with you, Doctor? [DOCTOR] Yes, child, if you wish. Come along. Hurry, hurry, hurry. [VICKI] See you later, Steven. [DOCTOR] Come along. [CHUMBLEY] You have not gone with your friends. [STEVEN] No. [CHUMBLEY] You are interested in our place? [STEVEN] Yes, quite. So the Doctor trusts you? [CHUMBLEY] Why shouldn't he? [STEVEN] No reason. I suppose you gave right ethical reasons for him, sonaturally he does trust you. [CHUMBLEY] We rescued you from the Drahvins, but you still don't trustus? [STEVEN] Oh, you could be the same as them, using us for your ownsalvation. [CHUMBLEY] The Doctor offered to help us. We needed his help. [STEVEN] So did the Drahvins. [CHUMBLEY] What are you getting at? [STEVEN] Nothing. [CHUMBLEY] Yes, you are. [STEVEN] All right. You said it would take hours to charge this shipproperly. [CHUMBLEY] The Doctor said he could do it in time. [STEVEN] Yes. But supposing, just this once, you're right, and he'swrong. Would you take us with you, or would you allow us to leave inour own ship? [CHUMBLEY] In your own ship, if possible. [STEVEN] Come off it. I mean, if you don't get this charged in time, youaren't going to let us go just like that. [CHUMBLEY] We are strange beings to you. You've never met anything likeus. You come from Earth, a planet we don't know, but clearly it is aplanet which still knows conflict. [STEVEN] What? So? [CHUMBLEY] If we are right and the power-charge is going to take toolong a time, then the Doctor, the girl, and you must leave. We believein self-preservation. [STEVEN] Oh yeah, I'm sure. [CHUMBLEY] But if there is a choice, the Doctor must go. He travelsfurther than we can. And everything he has shown he stands for is whatwe believe in. So it is better that he goes. [STEVEN] I'm sorry. You can't blame me, though, for being suspicious. Inthat case, there's something you ought know. Whilst I was in theDrahvin ship, they said they intended to leave this planet in yours. [CHUMBLEY] We are prepared to take them with us. [STEVEN] Well, that's not what they mean. They take your ship, you stayhere. [CHUMBLEY] We must hope they do not succeed. [STEVEN] Yes, well, there's so little time left, they're going to bedesperate. I'll tell you what. Why not let me fix the cable for you atthis end? [CHUMBLEY] Thank you! The machine will help you. It will be quicker. [STEVEN] It's got to be. --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [DRAHVIN 3] I'm ready, Maaga. [MAAGA] Then go. And do not fail. [DRAHVIN 3] I shall not. --------------------------------------- (Outside the Tardis) [VICKI] It's getting darker, Doctor. [DOCTOR] Hmm? Oh, it's nothing to worry about, my dear. I think theevenings last here for about four hours. [VICKI] It's strange. To think that at dawn all this will explode intonothing. [DOCTOR] No, not just nothing, child. Hydrogen gas that springs itselfout like molten silver against the other stars in the same galaxy. Yes,well, let's have the cable, please. --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [MAAGA] She's out of sight. [DRAHVIN 1] She will die willingly. [MAAGA] She will not die until she has destroyed the machine. [DRAHVIN 2] Will we escape, Maaga? [MAAGA] Yes, when we have destroyed the machine we will escape. [DRAHVIN 2] Oh! What is happening? [MAAGA] It's first warning of the explosion. We have only five hoursleft. She must act quickly. --------------------------------------- (Central chamber) [STEVEN] Well, it's all fixed up here, Doctor. Anysnags at the Tardis? [DOCTOR] Everything under control, my dear boy. [STEVEN] Oh good, good. [DOCTOR] Switch on your motors, please. [CHUMBLEY] Start control. Full intake. Cable guard stand by. [VICKI] Is that the power being transferred? [DOCTOR] Yes, it is, my dear. [VICKI] How long will it take? [DOCTOR] Oh, three to four hours, I think. [STEVEN] Oh, but this planet's due to explode in less than five hours. [DOCTOR] I fully appreciate that fact, young man. [VICKI] There's that alarm again. [STEVEN] Oh, what's happened now? [CHUMBLEY] Silence, please. Emergency message coming through. TheDrahvins have escaped and destroyed the Chumbley outside theirspaceship. [VICKI] Oh, no! [DOCTOR] And the Chumbley outside my Tardis? [CHUMBLEY] In the position he has taken up he is in no danger. Continue,Doctor. [DOCTOR] Thank you, thank you. [CHUMBLEY] There will be no more incidents. [STEVEN] They won't go after the Tardis anyway, Doctor. It's this shipthey want, and us. --------------------------------------- (Outside the spaceship) [MAAGA] You have done well. [DRAHVIN 3] Thank you, Maaga. [MAAGA] I will see that you are mentioned. Did you see any othermachines? [DRAHVIN 3] The only one there I destroyed. [MAAGA] Good. [DRAHVIN 3] It will not move again. [MAAGA] We are going to attack the Rill spaceship. You will follow closebehind me. Understood? [DRAHVINS] Yes, Maaga. [MAAGA] When we get nearer, I will give you further orders. Come. --------------------------------------- (Central chamber) [DOCTOR] Oh, do stop worrying, dear boy, and standstill. [CHUMBLEY] Stand still. [STEVEN] Look, Doctor, I know exactly what they intend to do. And assoon as they see this cable, they're going destroy it. [CHUMBLEY] Do not worry. I am prepared for that. [DOCTOR] Splendid, splendid. Is the power still coming through? [CHUMBLEY] It is. [STEVEN] And how long's it going to take? [CHUMBLEY] Another two hours, at least. [STEVEN] Oh. [DOCTOR] That should be enough. [VICKI] Just. [STEVEN] Look, isn't it possible to charge any faster? [DOCTOR] Utterly impossible, dear boy. There's great danger of the panelblowing. [STEVEN] Yes, well, we're going to be lucky to get back to the Tardis intime. [DOCTOR] Hmm? [STEVEN] Well the Drahvins are still out to get us. [CHUMBLEY] Do not worry. We will ensure that you return safely to yourship. [VICKI] Look, it's a Drahvin. [STEVEN] They don't waste time, do they? [DRAHVIN 3] Stand still. You have escaped once. You will not do soagain. [VICKI] Steven. (inaudible) [STEVEN] And be killed? [DRAHVIN 3] Death does not frighten me. I die a warrior Drahvin. [VICKI] Oh, Steven. [STEVEN] What have you done? [CHUMBLEY] Do not worry, she is completely paralysed. I told you therewould be no further incidents. [VICKI] Doctor? Where's the Doctor? [STEVEN] Oh, there he is [DOCTOR [OC]] Hello, I'm in here. Come in. Come in. [CHUMBLEY] You may enter. But be prepared for a shock. [VICKI] Do you think we ought to go in? [DOCTOR [OC]] Come along, come along, come along. --------------------------------------- (Planet surface) [MAAGA] We've driven them off. [DRAHVIN 1] But we have not destroyed one. [MAAGA] Don't worry, we will. [DRAHVIN 2] More machines! [MAAGA] Again! --------------------------------------- (Rill chamber) [CHUMBLEY] Now you know what we look like. [DOCTOR] I do. And I, for one, am glad of it. [CHUMBLEY] We apologise for the glass partition, but you will understandwe must keep our atmosphere in here. [DOCTOR] Yes, of course, of course. [CHUMBLEY] Our appearance shocks you? [DOCTOR] Not now. I must admit, it did at first. [STEVEN] Well, I don't see why the Drahvins should hate you. [VICKI] I know. I mean, after all, we must look just as strange to you. [CHUMBLEY] To the Drahvins we are ugly, so they become frightened. [DOCTOR] You are different from us, of course, but at least you areintelligent. [STEVEN] Yes, what difference does it make what your form is? [DOCTOR] Importance lies in the character and to what use you put thisintelligence. We respect you as we respect all life. [STEVEN] Doctor? [DOCTOR] What's the matter, my child? [VICKI] I suddenly feel terribly ill. [STEVEN] It's the ammoniac gas escaping. [DOCTOR] Oh dear, dear, dear, yes, I [CHUMBLEY] You had better return to the other chamber. Our atmosphere isnot good for you. [DOCTOR] Ah, yes, thank you. Young man. Young man. [VICKI] I suppose we won't meet again. [CHUMBLEY] It is improbable. [VICKI] Goodbye. [CHUMBLEY] Goodbye. --------------------------------------- (Central chamber) [STEVEN] How much longer, Doctor? [DOCTOR] One hour. [STEVEN] And how long till the explosion? [DOCTOR] One hour and a half. [STEVEN] Hmm. Well, let's hope no more Drahvins get in here. --------------------------------------- (Planet surface) [MAAGA] Oh, it's no good. Our guns can't harm them. [DRAHVIN 1] Then we must use bars, as Three did! [MAAGA] No, we will go that way. Head for the spaceship part of thebuilding. We must concentrate on that. --------------------------------------- (Central chamber) [STEVEN] It can't take much longer! [DOCTOR] Oh, patience, dear boy, patience. [VICKI] Dawn will be here in half an hour now. [STEVEN] Yes, and when dawn comes this planet explodes like a bomb. [DOCTOR] Oh, really, you two. [VICKI] What's that? What is it? [DOCTOR] Ah! That is a signal that the spaceship is now fully charged,unless I'm very much mistaken. [STEVEN] Well, it's about time, too. [CHUMBLEY] You are right, Doctor. We are ready to disconnect. [DOCTOR] Oh, good, good. Now, you have sufficient power? [CHUMBLEY] Enough to get us well out into space, where we can rechargefrom a sun. [DOCTOR] Splendid, splendid. Then I don't think there's any more for usto do. We will go. [CHUMBLEY] A Chumbley will escort you back to your ship. [DOCTOR] And yourself? [CHUMBLEY] We will wait until you are safely there. [DOCTOR] Oh, we shall be quite all right. It is you that needs to be outof range, not us. The moment I start my motors, we shall be out ofrange in time. We don't need space. [VICKI] Go now, please. [CHUMBLEY] Very well. In a moment we shall leave here and enter theship. From that time we will not be able to talk with you. The Chumbleywith you will escort you back to your ship. He will protect you andobey your commands. Once you have gone he will destroy himself. [VICKI] No! [CHUMBLEY] It will be painless. Merely putting itself out of action. [DOCTOR] Yes, I think I understand, and thank you very much. [CHUMBLEY] It is easy to help others when they are so willing to helpyou. Though we are beings of separate planets, you from the solarsystem and we from another space, our ways of thought, at times, do notseem all that different. It has been an honour to know you and serveyou. [VICKI] Good luck. [CHUMBLEY] Thank you. We shall give you time to get clear before we takeoff. Now we are going. Goodbye. We wish you well. [DOCTOR] They've started the motors. [STEVEN] Yes, and we've got less than half an hour, Doctor. [DOCTOR] Yes, you're quite right. Quickly, quickly, come, come. --------------------------------------- (Planet surface) [DRAHVIN 1] Where are the machines? [DRAHVIN 2] There are none. [MAAGA] Listen! They're escaping! [STEVEN] There they go! [DOCTOR] Isn't it amazing? What a wonderful sight! Oh! [VICKI] Doctor. [DOCTOR] Yes, yes, of course. [MAAGA] The Earth people. We can catch them! --------------------------------------- (Outside the Tardis) [STEVEN] Come on, Doc! [STEVEN] Here they come! --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [STEVEN] Can we see the disintegration on thescanner, Doctor? [DOCTOR] No, I'm afraid not, dear boy. We've dematerialised from thatgalaxy. [VICKI] Oh! [DOCTOR] A long time ago. [VICKI] Oh! [DOCTOR] What's the matter, child? [VICKI] I've hurt my ankle. [DOCTOR] Oh, yes, I'm afraid we shall, yes, we'll just have to put acold compress on that. Oh dear, dear, dear. You know, I wish we couldstop somewhere for a while and take stock of ourselves, instead ofbeing surrounded by dangers all the time. Just put that third switchforward, would you? Thank you. [VICKI] Look at that planet. I wonder what's going on there? [DOCTOR] Yes. Yes, I wonder. --------------------------------------- (Jungle) [GARVEY] I remember now. I must, I must kill. I must kill. I must kill.

Doctor Who (9 Oct, 1965; First Doctor) - Mission to the Unknown (Jungle) [GARVEY] I, I remember now. I must, I must kill. Must kill. Must kill. --------------------------------------- (Outside the ship) [LOWERY] Why you ever wanted to land on a planet like this in the firstplace I'll never know. This is getting on my nerves. [CORY] I hate to think what kind of an animal makes a noise like that. [LOWERY] Yeah, they're getting closer. [CORY] Yes, all the more reason to stop talking and get on with the job. [LOWERY] Just you listen to me, Cory. I know my orders were to let youhave full reign, and you've certainly taken advantage of that, but asCaptain of this expedition, my first responsibility is to get this shipoff the ground. So just cut the chat. Some other time, hmm? Bring thatwrench. [CORY] How's it going? [LOWERY] Oh, it's slow. Flare-back melted the retaining bolts. Justsolid lumps of tarnium. Ah, some of it's free. [CORY] I want to have a look around. [LOWERY] If we don't shoot off soon, we won't make it to the rendezvouswith the freighter, you know? If we're not in the pick-up orbit, theywon't wait. [CORY] You'll make it, Lowery. Here you are. [LOWERY] I'm doing the best I can. I didn't want to touch down on thislousy planet in the first place, remember? [CORY] Let's not start that again. Just get on with the job, would you?Where the devil's Garvey? He should be back by now. [LOWERY] He'll be here. That screwdriver, will you? [GARVEY] Kill. Kill. [LOWERY] Ah, managed to get some of it free. Look at it, it's useless.Get me a spare, will you? No, in the ship. [LOWERY] Oh, it's no good, Cory. You needn't bother with a spare. I'mjust not going to be able to fix it. [LOWERY] Jeff! Jeff! [LOWERY] You've killed him. You've killed Jeff! [CORY] It was him or you. [LOWERY] You didn't give him a chance. You shot him down like an animal.You just shot him down! [CORY] A Varga thorn. [LOWERY] What? Varga? [CORY] Careful, don't prick yourself with it or you'll end up the wayGarvey is. I'd have to kill you. [LOWERY] What do you mean? [CORY] Let's get back into the ship. [LOWERY] What about his personal effects? [CORY] All right, but hurry up. --------------------------------------- (Inside the ship) [CORY] I didn't intend to tell you anything, butsince we're stuck on this planet and Garvey's dead, there are somefacts that you're entitled to know. [LOWERY] Yeah. Jeff Garvey's dead. I mean, we flew together the last tenyears, and now he's dead, and you killed him. You'd better explain thatfact, and make it good. [CORY] Sit down and take a look at this. [LOWERY] I might have known. Space Security Service. Licensed to kill. [CORY] That's right. [LOWERY] Well, count me out. [CORY] This other document gives me the authority to enlist the aid ofany persons, civil or military. You were just enlisted. From now on,Lowery, you can take your orders from me. [LOWERY] All right, all right. But I don't fully understand. Better fillin a few details. [CORY] All right. I suppose you've heard of the Daleks? [LOWERY] The Daleks invaded Earth a thousand years ago. [CORY] That's right. Well, they haven't been active in our galaxy forsome time now, but that doesn't mean they've exactly been sittingaround. In the last five hundred years, they've gained control of overseventy planets in Ninth Galactic System and forty more in theConstellation of Miros. [LOWERY] Don't see why that should concern us. I mean, they're bothmillions of light years away from our galaxy. [CORY] Hmm, that's what we all thought. But about a week ago we had areport from the captain of a space freighter. His navigator spotted aspace ship of a type never before used in our system. He saw it onlyfor a second but he gave us a good description. [LOWERY] So? [CORY] What he described was a Dalek spaceship. [CORY] Freighter XM2, freighter XM2. Come in, please. Come in, please! [LOWERY] Can you make it work? [CORY] It's got to work! [LOWERY] It may have been damaged in the crash. [CORY] We must keep on trying. [LOWERY] You tested the link pulses? [CORY] I know what I'm doing. [LOWERY] All right, all right, so the link pulses work. There could besomething else wrong with it. What about the vergometer? Have youtested that? Without that you'd never break through the atmosphere. [CORY] How can I possibly test that? We've just got to take our chancethat it hasn't been damaged. Freighter XM2. Freighter XM2. Come in,please. Come in, please. (static) It's useless. Are you sure we can'trepair this ship? [LOWERY] Oh, not a chance. So you think that the Daleks have establishedsome sort of a base here, is that it? [CORY] It could be. This is the most hostile planet in the universe.People from other civilisations avoid it. I suddenly had a hunch thatthis might make an ideal place for any secret preparations that theDaleks wanted to make. That's why we brought this ship down here. [LOWERY] Did you tell anybody else about this hunch of yours? [CORY] No one. Not even your commander. I just asked for a couple of menand a small rocket. I didn't even tell him what for. [LOWERY] Then why are you telling me? [CORY] Because of this. A thorn from a Varga plant. A thing part animal,part vegetable. Looks like a cactus. The poison attacks the brain.Rational thought is replaced by an overwhelming desire to kill.Eventually the poison seeps through the system and the victim isgradually transformed into a Varga. [LOWERY] And what's that got to do with the Daleks? [CORY] The only place in the universe where Vargas grow naturally is onthe Daleks' own planet, Skaro. If the Vargas are here, the Daleks are,too. --------------------------------------- (Dalek control room) [BLACK] I will receive your reports. First, space monitor control. [DALEK 1] Space monitor control. The emissaries from the seven planetswill arrive as arranged. [BLACK] Then the conference will begin at first sun. Security report. [DALEK 2] Security control. Position of alien space craft located. Ourpatrol will reach it shortly. [BLACK] The ship and its occupants must be totally destroyed. Destroyed!Destroyed! [DALEK 2] It will be done. --------------------------------------- (Outside the ship) [LOWERY] Anything out there? [CORY] Vargas. They're closing in. [LOWERY] Do you mean to say they can move? [CORY] Very slowly. Look. They're using their roots to drag themselvesalong. How long are you going to be with this rescue beacon? [LOWERY] This is the recording part. Let's hope it wasn't damaged in thecrash. [CORY] We'll soon find out. Can you fix this capsule up? [LOWERY] Well that's easy enough, but this is the recording mechanismfor the message. If we sent the rocket into space without this, notonly would we not be rescued, but as you pointed out earlier, no onewould even know we were here. [CORY] Hurry up and attach it then. [LOWERY] All right, all right, I'm as keen to get out of here as youare. Give me those pliers, will you? Nearly finished. [CORY] Good. I don't know how long we've got. But the Daleks must knowwe're here. They'll be coming for us soon. [LOWERY] Well I still think you're jumping to conclusions, you know. Imean, just because these, what are they, Varga things grow here, it'sno proof that the Daleks are here too. [CORY] Take my word for it, they're here all right. [LOWERY] Yes, but couldn't these Varga things grow here naturally? Imean, it's possible, isn't it? [CORY] No. They were developed in Dalek laboratories. They grow them togive themselves protection. [LOWERY] Well if they're synthetic, that means we [CORY] Look, stop asking questions and get on with the work! --------------------------------------- (Jungle) [DALEK 1] Acceptor readings indicated alien space craft. We will closeon it from two directions. [DALEKS] We obey. --------------------------------------- (Outside the ship) [LOWERY] Those things are getting too close for comfort. I'll fix them. [CORY] It's no good, Lowery. They'll only grow again as fast as you canshoot them. [LOWERY] At least I'll have had a try at them. [CORY] Get back to the beacon. You sure it'll work? [LOWERY] Well, it should work. It's standard safety equipment on allrocket ships. [CORY] What does it do exactly? [LOWERY] Well, you record the message, SOS, on this, just like anordinary tape recorder. The rocket launcher shoots it high into orbit.Once it's in orbit it transmits the message. Simple. [CORY] From what we know about the Daleks, we've got to be picked up. [LOWERY] Well, it's tuned in to a special frequency, and there arelistening posts all over the galaxy. Our people should get the message. [CORY] And all we have to do is to stay alive until they get here. [LOWERY] That's the biggest rocket ship I've ever seen. It's likenothing we've got. [CORY] It's from an outer galaxy. [LOWERY] Yes, but what's it doing in a God-forsaken planet like this? [CORY] I don't know, but I'll tell you this. There's something very biggoing on here, and if the Daleks are involved you can bet your life ourwhole galaxy is in danger. --------------------------------------- (Jungle) [DALEK 1] The ship from the planet Gearon. [DALEK 2] And the beginning of the Great Alliance. --------------------------------------- (Outside the ship) [LOWERY] That should just about do it. Give me the capsule will you,I'll record the message. [CORY] Shush. [LOWERY] What is it? [CORY] There's something out there moving. [LOWERY] Vargas? [CORY] No. Moving too quickly. Come on, we've got to get away. [LOWERY] What about the distress signal? [CORY] We'll take it with us, launch it as soon as we get a chance. [LOWERY] All right. Which way? [CORY] Over here. They won't be the only ones, so watch out. [LOWERY] Cory! Daleks! [CORY] Get down and don't make a sound! [(Crouched in the bushes, Cory and Lowery watch as two Daleks glide pastthem and into the clearing. They're soon joined by two more. The Daleksline up in front of the rocket ship whilst one glides up to the doorwayand checks inside before turning to face the others. DALEK 2] The shipis empty. The crew has gone. [DALEK 1] We will search for them. Destroy the ship. Fire! [LOWERY] It's just falling apart! [CORY] Come on! [CORY] Come on, man, come on. They'll be looking for us now! [DALEK 1] Report destruction of alien ship to control. [DALEK 2] I obey. [DALEK 1] Advise that we will now seek out the crew. Alert all patrols. [DALEKS] We obey. --------------------------------------- (Conference room) [BLACK] With the arrival of our ally Malpha, we are enough. The meetingcan now begin. [MALPHA] No it can't. [BLACK] What is wrong? [MALPHA] There is a hostile presence among us. [BLACK] What do you mean? [MALPHA] On arrival here, I am told that there are hostile influencesfrom the solar system among us. [BLACK] Not among us. [MALPHA] Then here on the planet Kembel. [BLACK] Some beings have landed from the planet Earth, hostile beingsfrom the centre of the solar system. But do not worry. Their spaceshiphas been destroyed. [MALPHA] What about the beings? [BLACK] They cannot escape. At this moment they are being hunted down.They will be destroyed. [MALPHA] Are you sure? [BLACK] They cannot get away. [MALPHA] Suppose they send a message through this universe? [BLACK] They will not have time. If they do not die by our Varga plants,my patrols will kill them! They will be exterminated! Exterminated! --------------------------------------- (Jungle) [CORY] This way. --------------------------------------- (Conference room) [ALIEN 1] Agreed. [ALIEN 2] Agreed. [BLACK] All are agreed. It is done. The seven great powers of the outergalaxies are one. [ALIENS] Our galactic domination. Victory. [MALPHA] This is indeed an historic moment in the history of theuniverse. We six from the outer galaxies, joining with the power fromthe solar system, the Daleks! The seven of us represent the greatestwar force ever assembled. Conquest is assured! Mars! Venus! Jupiter!The moon colonies! [BLACK] They will all fall before our might. But the first of them willbe Earth! --------------------------------------- (Jungle) [CORY] We've got to get this capsule off, and fast. There's a city downthere, A Dalek city. I got quite close. Close enough to hear anannouncement through the loudspeaker system. [LOWERY] What did you hear? [CORY] Our whole galaxy is to be invaded and destroyed. [LOWERY] Kill. [CORY] What? [LOWERY] Kill. Kill. [CORY] The Varga! [LOWERY] That's right. I'll soon, soon I shall be one of them. Kill.Kill, [CORY] Marc Cory, Special Security Service, reporting from the planetKembel. The Daleks are planning the complete destruction of our galaxy.Together with the powers of the outer galaxies, a war force is beingassembled. [DALEK 1] Seismic detector is registering. [DALEK 2] The crew from the rocket ship must be in this direction. [DALEK 1] Are they to be taken for questioning? [DALEK 2] No. They are to be exterminated. Destroy them on sight.Destroy and exterminate! [DALEKS] We obey. [CORY] If our galaxy is to be saved, whoever receives this message mustrelay this information to Earth immediately. It is vital that defencemechanisms are put into operation at once! Message ends. [DALEK 2] Fire. He is dead. [DALEK 1] Our plans for the galactic conquest are safe. Whateverinformation he discovered has died with him. Return to the city. [DALEKS] We obey. --------------------------------------- (Conference room) [MALPHA] Now all is ready. We at this table pledgeour allegiance to the Dalek cause. Our armies will reduce the galaxiesto ashes. Their people to dust. And Earth we will conquer first.Victory! Victory! [ALL] Victory! Victory! Victory!

Doctor Who (16 Oct, 1965; First Doctor) - The Myth Makers (Plain outside Troy) [HECTOR] Achilles! [ACHILLES] Over here, stable keeper. Barbarian horse worshipper! [HECTOR] Out of breath so soon, my light-foot princeling? Your friendPetrocolus fled me further, and made better sport! [ACHILLES] Murderer! Petrocolus was a boy. [HECTOR] A boy? Well he died like a dog, whimpering after his masterAchilles! How! Let me send you to him where he waits in Hades. Let methrow the dog a bone or two! [HECTOR] What? So anxious to be gone? Well, I would not keep you for theworld. [ACHILLES] Your bones would be the meatier, Trojan. Though meat a triflerough at that. Well, all's one. They will whiten well enough in thesun! [HECTOR] Run, Achilles! Run! Run a little more, before you die! --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [VICKI] What sort of people are they, Doctor? [DOCTOR] Oh, I'm not sure, my child. You'll notice they're wearingGrecian costumes. [VICKI] They don't seem to have noticed us. [STEVEN] That's hardly surprising in the circumstances. Why do yousuppose they're fighting? [DOCTOR] I haven't the remotest idea, my boy. No doubt their reasonswill be entirely adequate. Yes, I think I perhaps I'd better go and askthem where we are. [VICKI] Doctor, be careful! They look terribly fierce. [DOCTOR] Oh, what nonsense. If you take notice of them, I think they'redoing more talking than they are fighting. I think I'd better go andask them where we are. [VICKI] Doctor, you can't! You know if you go out there by yourselfyou'll g [DOCTOR] Now you stay here, my dear, and look after that ankle. [STEVEN] Wouldn't it be better if I went? [DOCTOR] Not at all, young man. You stay here and keep an eye on Vicki.Besides, I don't think your present humour is fitting for the occasion.You know, I don't think they'd appreciate your kind of sarcasm. --------------------------------------- (Plain outside Troy) [ACHILLES] The gods of my people, Hector, are notlightly mocked. They are terrible! And Troy itself is doomed to fall attheir bidding, even as you are. You cannot stand against them. [HECTOR] You pretend that old Father Zeus will descend to Earth and takeTroy for you. I guarantee to trim his beard for him if he dare attemptit! [ACHILLES] Beware the voice of Zeus, Hector. Beware the anger ofOlympus. [HECTOR] Oh, I do not fear the thunder, you superstitious, dark-dodgingdecadent! Hear me, Zeus! Accept from me the promised life of yourcringing servant Achilles! Or else, I challenge you. Descend to Earthand save him! [HECTOR] Zeus! Forgive me. [DOCTOR] Stop! You must not kick a man when he is down. You have killedthis poor fellow! [ACHILLES] Oh, but in your name. [DOCTOR] In my name, indeed! Get up! Get up, I tell you! This isterrible. [ACHILLES] If Zeus bids me to rise. [DOCTOR] What is this? What is it you take me for? [ACHILLES] The Father of the Gods and ruler of the world. [DOCTOR] What! Do you really? And who might you be, may I ask? [ACHILLES] Achilles. Mightiest of warriors, greatest in battle, humblestof your servants. [DOCTOR] Well, if I may say so, you're not very humble, are you? Yes, Ithink I know you. Yes. And this friend of yours must be [ACHILLES] Hector, Prince of Troy. Sent to Hades for blasphemy againstthe gods of Greece. [DOCTOR] Blasphemy? I'm sure he didn't mean it. [ACHILLES] He threatened to trim your beard should you descend to Earth. [DOCTOR] Oh, did he now? Well, if you notice, I have no beard. [ACHILLES] If you had appeared to me in your true form, I would havebeen truly blinded by your radiance. It is well known that when youcome amongst us you adopt many different forms. [DOCTOR] Oh, do I? [ACHILLES] To Europa, you appeared as a bull. To Leda, as a swan. To me,in the guise of an old beggar. [DOCTOR] I beg your pardon. I do nothing of the kind! [ACHILLES] Oh, but still your glory shines through! [DOCTOR] Oh, indeed. Indeed so. Yes, so I should hope. Yes, well, thankyou. I'm glad to meet you. Now, if you will excuse me, I must get backto my temple. Attend to his funeral. [ACHILLES] Oh, stop! You must not go. [DOCTOR] Do you realise whom you are addressing? [ACHILLES] Forgive me, father Zeus, I spoke hastily. [DOCTOR] Then do not hinder me, or I will strike you with a thunderbolt! [ACHILLES] I must brave even the wrath of Zeus, and implore you toremain. [DOCTOR] Well, I don't see why I should. I have many other commitments,you must understand. [ACHILLES] And one of them lies here, in the camp of Agamemnon, ourgeneral. Oh, hear me out, I pray. For ten long years now we have laidsiege to Troy and still they defy us. Come. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [STEVEN] Where's he off to now? It's a fine time to go looking at theview. [VICKI] After all, that's why he went out there, to find out where weare. Anyway, that man looks quite friendly now. He's probably showinghim the way to the nearest town. [STEVEN] Hmm, I wonder. I think I'd better try and find some moresuitable clothes. --------------------------------------- (Plain outside Troy) [ACHILLES] There they sit, secure behind theirwalls, whilst we rot in their summers and starve in their crack-bonewinters. [ODYSSEUS] What's this, Achilles? So far from camp, all unprotected froma prisoner? [ACHILLES] Odysseus, this is no prisoner. [DOCTOR] Certainly not. [ODYSSEUS] Not yet a prisoner? You should have called for assistance,lad. We would not like to lose you. Come, let us escort you homewards.Night might fall and find thee from thy tent. [DOCTOR] I wouldn't stand for that if I were you! [ODYSSEUS] Are, but then, old fellow, you are not the Lord Achilles. Heis not the one to look for trouble, are you, boy? [ACHILLES] Have a care, pirate. Are there no Trojan throats to slit,that you dare tempt my sword? [ODYSSEUS] Throats enough, I grant you. Some half score Trojans will notwhistle easy tonight. But what of you? [ACHILLES] Oh, but a trifle. I met Prince Hector. Here he lies. [ODYSSEUS] Zeus! [ACHILLES] Was instrumental. [ODYSSEUS] No doubt, no doubt. But what a year is this for plague. Eventhe strongest might fall. Prince Hector, ha, that he should come tothis. You met him here, you say, as he lay dying? [ACHILLES] I met him, Odysseus, in single combat. [DOCTOR] Oh yes, it's true. [ODYSSEUS] And raced him round the walls till down he fell exhausted. Afamous victory. [ACHILLES] I met him face to face, I say. Battled with him for an houror more, until my greater strength overcame him. [ODYSSEUS] Bravo. But tell me, Lightfoot, what of Zeus? You say heintervened, and then? [ACHILLES] Why, there he stands, and listens to your mockery. [DOCTOR] Oh yes, I find it most interesting. [ODYSSEUS] What? This old man? This threadbare grey pate? Oh come,Achilles. [ACHILLES] Oh, forgive him, father Zeus! He is but a rough and simplesailor. [ODYSSEUS] Aye, very rough, but scarce as simple as you seem to think.What have we here? --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [VICKI] Steven, he's coming in. [STEVEN] No, the Doctor'll stop him. I must go out and help. [VICKI] No. Don't. Just a minute. Here. Take this, and wait behind thedoor, hmm? --------------------------------------- (Plain outside Troy) [ODYSSEUS] The temple of Zeus, you say? A triflemodest, is it not, for so powerful a god. [DOCTOR] This is my travelling temple. Being small, it's convenient. [ACHILLES] You shall not enter. [DOCTOR] Certainly not! In any case, I must be off. [ACHILLES] Oh, then will you not stay with us? [DOCTOR] No. I, er [ODYSSEUS] What? You will to the Grecian camp. If indeed you be Zeus, wehave need of your assistance. Now, do not cower there, lads. Zeus is onour side, so Agamemnon keeps insisting. Bear him up, and let us carryhim in triumph to the camp. [DOCTOR] I am quite capable of walking. [ACHILLES] Odysseus, I claim the honour to escort him. Let him walk tocamp with me. [ODYSSEUS] You shall have honour enough, and maybe we shall have alittle of the truth. Father Zeus, we await you. We crave the pleasureof your company at supper, and perhaps a tale or two of Aphrodite? [DOCTOR] I refuse to enter into any kind of vulgar bawdry. [ODYSSEUS] Then you shall tell why we find you lurking near our lines.That should prove equally entertaining. Take him, lads! And two of youthere, take up this carrion! [DOCTOR] Have a care! Do not touch me! [ACHILLES] You will pay for this, Odysseus. [ODYSSEUS] Ha, will I? We shall see. This much must we do for the LordAchilles, lest none believe his story. [ACHILLES] You will not laugh so loud, I think, when Agamemnon hears ofthis. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [STEVEN] I am going after him. I'm sure he's been taken prisoner. [VICKI] Oh, come on. The big man was laughing. [STEVEN] It didn't look as though the Doctor made a joke. [VICKI] Anyway, we don't even know where we are. [STEVEN] Well, the Doctor said they were Greeks. We're probably inGreece. [VICKI] Oh, but that would be wonderful, wouldn't it? We might meet theHeroes. We might [STEVEN] Those men who carried off the Doctor wouldn't be heroes, oranything like them. That's why I've got to go and get him. [VICKI] Well, I'm coming with you. [STEVEN] And how far do you think you can get on that ankle? [VICKI] It's not so bad now. I'll manage. [STEVEN] No. You stay here. Rest your ankle, watch the scanners. You'llbe perfectly safe. When you see the Doctor and me coming, open thedoors. But not otherwise. [VICKI] But Steven, we mustn't [STEVEN] No! I haven't got time to argue. I want to get to the Doctorbefore they cut his head off. Now stay here. [VICKI] Goodbye. I hope you find the Doctor, that's all. --------------------------------------- (Agamemnon's tent) [AGAMEMNON] Now you drink too much, Menelaus. I've told you about itbefore. Why can't you learn to behave like a king instead of adropsical old camp follower? Have a little dignity. Try to rememberthat you're my brother, can't you? [MENELAUS] One of the reasons I drink, Agamemnon, is to forget that I amyour brother. Another is this ridiculous Trojan expedition. We've beenhere for ten years! I want to go home. Besides, I'm not getting anyyounger. [AGAMEMNON] You won't get any older if you talk to me like that, brotheror no brother. What's the matter with you, man? Don't you want to getHelen back? Don't you don't you want to see your wife again? [MENELAUS] Quite frankly, no. If you must know, I was heartily glad tosee the back of her. [AGAMEMNON] You mustn't talk like that in front of these. [MENELAUS] It wasn't the first time she'd allowed herself to beabducted. I can't keep on going off to the ends of the Earth to get herback. It makes me a laughing stock. [AGAMEMNON] Now you knew perfectly well what she was like before youmarried her. Besides, this is a question of honour, to get her back.Family honour, don't you understand? [MENELAUS] Not to mention the trade routes through the Bosphorus, ofcourse. [AGAMEMNON] What have they got to do with it? [MENELAUS] It isn't enough for you that you control the Achaean League,is it? Now you want to take over Asia Minor as well, only King Priam ofTroy stands in your way. [AGAMEMNON] May I remind you that these ambitions would have been servedjust as well if you had killed Paris in single combat, as you wereexpected to? [MENELAUS] Yes. But, I [AGAMEMNON] And don't interrupt. [MENELAUS] Oh. [AGAMEMNON] Priam would have been quite prepared to let this contestsettle the issue between us. [MENELAUS] Yes. But [AGAMEMNON] Don't blame me because you've landed us into a full scalewar. [MENELAUS] Yes, but I did challenge Paris, if you remember, ten yearsago. Fellow wouldn't accept. [AGAMEMNON] He's just about as cowardly as you are. [MENELAUS] For the last time, I am not a coward. [AGAMEMNON] Well in that case, why don't you challenge someone else? [MENELAUS] Anyone. [AGAMEMNON] Challenge Hector. [MENELAUS] Hector? Hector? Are you mad? Why, that'd be suicide. [AGAMEMNON] Well, you don't know until you've tried it, do you? Youknow, I think that's a very good idea of yours. [MENELAUS] Oh. So you want to see me killed, is that it? Is nothingsacred to you? [AGAMEMNON] A brother's honour. I hold that more sacred than anythingelse. That's why I shall issue the challenge in the morning, on yourbehalf. [MENELAUS] On my behalf? [ACHILLES] My king. Hector is dead. [AGAMEMNON] What? How did this happen? [ACHILLES] This very day. I slew him after an hour or more of singlecombat. [AGAMEMNON] Oh, you did. Oh dear. There's another good idea wasted. [ACHILLES] And what do you mean, wasted? Here have I been, fight [AGAMEMNON] Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes,yes, yes. It's only that Menelaus was just about to challenge him. [MENELAUS] Now don't think I'm not pleased with what you've done. I am. [AGAMEMNON] Sit down. Tell us all about it. [ACHILLES] But, I have other more important news, and there isn't muchtime. [MENELAUS] What, more important than the death of Hector? [ACHILLES] At the height of my battle with Hector, there came a suddenlightning flash, and Zeus appeared before me. [MENELAUS] Zeus! Oh. Eh? [AGAMEMNON] It's all right, he's been listening to too much propaganda,haven't you, Achilles? You mustn't take so much notice of that. [ACHILLES] Look, I tell you it's true. He appeared to me from nowhere inthe shape of a little old man. [AGAMEMNON] Oh! Where is he now, this little old Zeus? [ACHILLES] He was about to accompany me here when Odysseus and his menarrived. They took him prisoner. [AGAMEMNON] They what? [ACHILLES] Odysseus mocked him then they seized him and are bringing himto camp. I ran ahead to warn you. [AGAMEMNON] You did well. Perdition take Odysseus. You can't be toocareful in matters like this. He may in fact be Zeus. Guard! Go findthe Lord Odysseus. Command his presence here.(A while later, Odysseus, having received the command, storms intoAgamemnon's tent.) [ODYSSEUS] Who dares command Odysseus? Well, Agamemnon, is it you? Well,we will not quarrel when we have a guest of such importance. Here'sthis old man, claims to be our father Zeus. [DOCTOR] You may rise. I am most displeased. Who is in command here? [AGAMEMNON] I have that honour. [DOCTOR] As I have always understood. Yet this mountebank Odysseusappears to be a law unto himself. He makes fun of his guests, andlaughs at Zeus. [AGAMEMNON] He will be reprimanded, if you are indeed who you say youare. [DOCTOR] If I am not a god, how do you account for my supernaturalknowledge? [AGAMEMNON] Knowledge of what? [DOCTOR] I could tell you one or two things that might surprise you. [AGAMEMNON] Oh? Name one. [DOCTOR] Your wife, for instance, is unfaithful to you. [AGAMEMNON] What! [ODYSSEUS] Everyone knows that. [MENELAUS] I've never heard it. [ODYSSEUS] Everyone, that is, except you and him, of course. [AGAMEMNON] Silence! I will not have my wife's name banded about likethat. Besides, we have no way of checking on your slanderousassertions, divinely inspired or no. What do you advise? [DOCTOR] Then treat me with honour and return me to my temple, before Ireally become angry. [ACHILLES] I tell you, Agamemnon, he has come to help us. [DOCTOR] If I were an enemy, what could one man do alone and unarmedagainst the glory that is Greece, hmm? [AGAMEMNON] Glory that is Greece, hmm? A neat phrase. [ODYSSEUS] The man is a spy. Deal with him and be brief, or I shallundertake it for you. [ACHILLES] After I am dead, Odysseus, and only then. [ODYSSEUS] If you so insist, I shall be most happy to oblige, Lightfoot. [AGAMEMNON] Silence! This is time for thought, not swordplay. [ODYSSEUS] Well, since my thoughts are of such little account, allow meto withdraw. [ACHILLES] Forgive him, father Zeus. The man is a boor. If you commandme, I will deal with him. [DOCTOR] No, no, Achilles, leave him. Why try to kill him now when youare in sight of victory. [AGAMEMNON] Do you prophesy as much as that? [DOCTOR] I could almost guarantee it. [MENELAUS] Almost? Oh, not another ten years. [DOCTOR] But first I would like to know am I to be treated as a god, oras an enemy? If you kill me now, it will probably cost you the war. [AGAMEMNON] Yes, that is so. On the other hand, if we don't kill you andyou are a spy, the same thing might happen. I propose to place youunder arrest. [DOCTOR] Arrest? But I must return to my TAR, er, my temple. [AGAMEMNON] A reverent arrest. You must not be offended. We shall enjoythe benefit of your experience and your advice, and in return you willenjoy our hospitality. [DOCTOR] Very well. [AGAMEMNON] Excellent. Do sit down and have a ham bone. --------------------------------------- (Greek camp) [ODYSSEUS] Get thee to thy rest. [ODYSSEUS] Ah, my little Cyclops. What news, hmm? [ODYSSEUS] The stranger? Ah, the other stranger. Another stranger. Fromthe temple. Temple. In the camp! You think he is my enemy. You havedone well. Now, my little chatterbox, go back to the temple, see whathappens, hmm? [ODYSSEUS] Get you gone. [ODYSSEUS] What have we here? Another god, perhaps? [STEVEN] No, I'm just a traveller. I lost my way and saw the light. [ODYSSEUS] At least the god Apollo, to walk invisible past sentries. [STEVEN] Sentries? I saw no sentries. [ODYSSEUS] Oh? Then perhaps they are sleeping with a knife between theirribs. Shall we go seek them together? [STEVEN] Put away your sword. I'm a friend. [ODYSSEUS] But a friend of whom? [STEVEN] What do you mean? [ODYSSEUS] That, that god who feasts yonder, that Trojan spy. [STEVEN] I don't know him. [ODYSSEUS] Do you not? We shall see! Move! --------------------------------------- (Agamemnon's tent) [AGAMEMNON] Who is this? [ODYSSEUS] My prisoner, the god Apollo. Achilles, will you not worshiphim? He is a Trojan spy, but of such undoubted divinity he must bespared. [AGAMEMNON] Are you a Trojan, fellow? [STEVEN] No, of course not. I'm just a traveller, of a sort. [AGAMEMNON] Do you know this man? [DOCTOR] Only for what he seems to be. [ODYSSEUS] An acquaintance from Olympus, come to meet his father. [STEVEN] My father? I've never seen him before in my life. [AGAMEMNON] That's enough! Take him away, Odysseus. Why should I betroubled with such petty prisoners? Cut out his tongue for insolence,and make an end. [ODYSSEUS] Softly now! All-seeing Zeus, you see into our very hearts andknow their secrets? [DOCTOR] Quite so. [ODYSSEUS] Then is this man a spy? [DOCTOR] I do not know, and I do not care. [ODYSSEUS] Shall he then be put to death? [DOCTOR] I think it would be much safer on the whole. Stop! Have youlost your senses? [ODYSSEUS] Now we have it! On second thoughts, you think we shouldrelease him to return to Troy. [DOCTOR] Do not mock me, my Lord Odysseus. Would you stain the tent ofAgamemnon's with a Trojan's blood? I claim this man as a sacrifice toOlympus! Bring him to my temple in the plain, at sunrise in themorning, and I will show you a miracle. [ODYSSEUS] A miracle. Oh, that would be most satisfactory. [MENELAUS] Convincing proof, I would say. [AGAMEMNON] What sort of miracle would [DOCTOR] I will strike him with a bolt from heaven! [ODYSSEUS] Very spectacular! [(Two guards drag the struggling Cyclops into the tent.AGAMEMNON] Ah, what's this? Who's this? [ODYSSEUS] Release him. [AGAMEMNON] All right, Odysseus. Who is this man? [ODYSSEUS] My Cyclops. My little servant. So. [AGAMEMNON] Well, can't he speak? [ODYSSEUS] Alas no more. For once he spoke too loud for comfort, andstammered on a knife. But he speaks to me. Get you gone and wait forme. Thunder at the temple tomorrow, did you say? [DOCTOR] Yes, I did. [ODYSSEUS] Our weather is so unpredictable. If there is no thunder onthe plain, I have a sword will serve for two as well as one. Yourtemple, as you call it, has disappeared. [DOCTOR] Disappeared? [ODYSSEUS] Vanished into thin air. --------------------------------------- (Plain outside Troy) [AGAMEMNON] Well, father Zeus, where is this temple of yours? [DOCTOR] Well, it should be about here somewhere. Rather hard tounderstand, these sandy plains are so much alike. [AGAMEMNON] Well, something has been here. Look. [ODYSSEUS] And someone, too. For see, some several tracks lead off toTroy. Lord Agamemnon, admit your fault. These men are spies! [AGAMEMNON] So it would begin to seem. Bring on the prisoner. Well,father Zeus, you have but one chance left to prove yourself. Kill thisTrojan spy. [ODYSSEUS] Yes, fling a thunderbolt or some such to rise to theoccasion. [DOCTOR] This sacrifice can only be performed within the temple. [ODYSSEUS] Which temple is in Troy, therefore would we release you? Justso. I for one have had enough. [DOCTOR] Do not labour this point. I am not Zeus, and this young man isa friend of mine. Neither of us are Trojans, sir. [AGAMEMNON] I care not who you are. Seize him! It is enough that youhave trifled with my credulity and made me look a fool in front of allmy captains. Now, finish the business and be brief. And do not bringtheir bodies back. Let them rot here, so that they can be an example totheir fellows. [STEVEN] Are you quite sure Vicki couldn't have dematerialised theTardis? [DOCTOR] Of course she couldn't. I told you last night. [ODYSSEUS] First of all, myrmidons. Who are you? [DOCTOR] I think you had better tell him. [STEVEN] Yes, well, this may take some time. [ODYSSEUS] I will be patient. But this time, if you value your lives, donot lie to me. --------------------------------------- (Troy city square) [PARIS] Sound the trumpets! Dismiss! [PRIAM] Silence! Great Horse of Asia, is none of us to rest? Who'sthere? [PARIS] Paris, father, returned from patrol. [PRIAM] Well, what news? Have you avenged your brother Hector? Have you?Have you killed Achilles? [PARIS] I sought Achilles, father, even to the Grecian lines, but heskulked within his tent. He feared to face me. [PRIAM] Well go back and wait until he gets his courage up. Upon mysoul, what sort of brother are you? Furthermore, what sort of son?What, what is that you have got there? [PARIS] Ah. A prize, father, captured from the Greeks. [PRIAM] Hmm, captured, you say? I wager they were glad to see the backof it. What is it? [PARIS] What is it? Well, it's, ah it's, ah sort of, er, a shrine, or soit seems. [PRIAM] And what, may I ask, do you propose to do with this seemingshrine? [PARIS] Well, I had rather thought of putting it in the temple. [CASSANDRA] Ha! You're not putting that in my temple. [PRIAM] I should think not indeed, bringing back blessed shrines. Goback and bring Achilles' body, if you want to do something useful. Getback to the war. [CASSANDRA] And take that thing with you. [PARIS] Oh, really! If you if you knew the weight of this, this, thisthing. Father, if Cassandra doesn't want it, can't we just leave itwhere it is for the moment? [PRIAM] In the middle of the square? [PARIS] Yes. I mean, it could be a sort of, er, sort of a monument. [CASSANDRA] A monument to what? [PARIS] Well, to my initiative, for instance. After all, it is the firstsizeable trophy we've captured since the war started. Probably turn outto be very useful. [CASSANDRA] What sort of use would you suggest? [PARIS] What sort of use. Well, I don't quite know, actually. But, Imean, once we've examined it thoroughly, it'll probably prove to haveall sorts of uses. [CASSANDRA] I'm quite sure. Uses to the Greeks. [PARIS] What do you mean? [CASSANDRA] Why do you imagine that they allowed you to capture it? [PARIS] Allowed me? Allowed me? Now you look here, Cassandra. [CASSANDRA] Where did you find it? [PARIS] Where'd I find it? Where d'you think? Out there in the middle ofthe plain. [CASSANDRA] Unguarded, I suppose. [PARIS] Yes, of course. I, I mean, yes, it was. [CASSANDRA] Just as I thought. Can't you see that you were meant tobring it into Troy? [PARIS] No, I can't see, quite frankly. [PRIAM] I think I'm beginning to see. [PARIS] What are you two getting at? [CASSANDRA] You've broken my dreams. The auguries were bad this morning.I woke full of foreboding. [PARIS] Never knew her when she didn't. [PRIAM] Paris, your sister is High Priestess. Let her speak. [PARIS] All right, Cassandra. Now, what was this dream about? [CASSANDRA] Thank you. I dreamed that out on the plain the Greeks hadleft a gift, and although what it was remained unclear, we brought itinto Troy. Then at night, from out its belly, soldiers came and fellupon us as we slept. [PARIS] Yes, well I hardly think we need trouble to interpret that one.Oh really, Cassandra, have you looked at this thing, as you call it? Imean, just how many soldiers do you think you can get inside that? Awhole regiment, perhaps? I mean, you'd be very lucky to get even twomedium-sized soldiers out of that thing. [CASSANDRA] Fool! One soldier could unbar the gate and so admit an army.It's exactly the sort of scheme Odysseus would think of. [PRIAM] Why don't we open the thing and see? [PARIS] Yes, well, that is rather the point. You see, there is a door,but it doesn't seem to open. [CASSANDRA] Just as I said, it's locked from the inside. [PRIAM] Oh, it is, is it? Stand aside. [PARIS] Well, there you are, father. Perhaps you'll believe me nexttime, I suppose. Oh, Cassandra, perhaps you would like to care to havea try. [CASSANDRA] The thing need not be opened. Bring branches, fire andsacrificial oil. We'll make of it an offering to the gods of Troy. Andif there be someone within, so much the greater gift. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) (Plain outside Troy) [STEVEN] So really, you see, we arrived in your time entirely byaccident. It's just another miscalculation by the Doctor. [DOCTOR] Well, I would hardly call it a miscalculation, my boy. [STEVEN] Well, then, what would you call it? [DOCTOR] Well, I think with all eternity to choose from, I did ratherwell to get us back to Earth. [STEVEN] I'm very glad you're pleased with yourself. I suppose I shouldbe grateful for standing here, trussed like a chicken, ready to have methroat cut. [ODYSSEUS] No one mentioned cutting throats. [DOCTOR] No, they didn't. [ODYSSEUS] I had I had something more lingering in mind. [DOCTOR] Yes. Yes, I dare say. I suppose some kind of ritual death, Ipresume? [ODYSSEUS] Sit down. Sit down! In my life I have travelled far, and metmany deplorable people, but not one of them has had the credulitystrained as I have strained today by your effrontery, Doctor. Yourstory is probably true, otherwise you would never have dared to tellit. Stand up! I propose to release you. [STEVEN] We might have expected That's very nice of you. [ODYSSEUS] No, no, it isn't. Release, but on certain conditions. [DOCTOR] And what are those conditions, may I ask? [ODYSSEUS] That you use your supernatural knowledge to devise a schemewhereby we capture Troy. I will give you two days. Two days to think ofsomething really ingenious. [DOCTOR] Two days! That isn't very long, is it. [ODYSSEUS] It should be ample if you are as clever as you say you are. [STEVEN] What happens if we fail? [ODYSSEUS] If I fail, then I shall have been foolish. And I would hateto seem foolish having believed your story. Indeed, I should be very,very angry! --------------------------------------- (Troy city square) [PRIAM] That should make quite a blaze. [PARIS] Yes. Just one moment. Before we actually light the fire,shouldn't we see if such a gift would be acceptable to the gods? Imean, if it does contain treachery, might it not seem the most awfulinsult? [PRIAM] Oh, good point, I suppose. Have a word with them, Cassandra. [CASSANDRA] I assure you it's quite unnecessary. [PARIS] Yes, but better to be on the safe side. Don't you think? [CASSANDRA] Oh, hear me, you horses of the heavens, who gallop with ourdestiny. If you would accept this gift, let us see a sign. Show us yourwill, I pray you, for we are merely mortal and need your guidance. [PARIS] Well! [PARIS] This is no horse of heaven. [PRIAM] And this is no soldier either. [CASSANDRA] Who are you? [VICKI] I'm nobody of any importance. I'm just someone from the future. [PARIS] The future? [CASSANDRA] How do you so? You're no Trojan goddess. Are you some punypagan goddess of the Greeks? [VICKI] Of course not. I'm as human as you are. [CASSANDRA] Then how comes it that you claim to know the future? [PARIS] Oh really, Cassandra. You're always going on and on about ityourself. [CASSANDRA] I'm a priestess, skilled in augury. [PARIS] Yes, I know, all those dreary flights of birds and entrails andall that kind of thing. Well, I mean, perhaps she's read the same ones.I shouldn't imagine you have a monopoly. [CASSANDRA] Are you a priestess? [VICKI] Not that I know of. I mean, I never took any exams or anything. [CASSANDRA] Then how dare you practice prophecy! [VICKI] Well, I haven't done yet, have I? [CASSANDRA] She's some drab of Agamemnon's, sent to spread dissention. [VICKI] I'm nothing of the sort. [PARIS] Of course you're not. I can tell. [VICKI] I've never even met Agamemnon. [PRIAM] I wish to question her. Come here, child. That's better. Now,are you a Greek? [VICKI] No, I am from the future. So you see, I don't have to prophesy,because as far as I'm concerned, the future has already happened! [PRIAM] I don't quite follow. [CASSANDRA] Of course you don't. She's trying to confuse you. Kill thegirl before she addles all our wits. She's a sorceress. She must die. [PARIS] Oh, don't be absurd. You're not to touch her. [PRIAM] I wish you'd both keep quiet just for a moment. Now don't befrightened, child. You shall die when I say so, and not a momentbefore. [VICKI] That's very comforting. [PRIAM] Now, you see? Neither of you has the least idea how to handlechildren. All you need is a little kindness and understanding. Now,first of all, what is your name? [VICKI] Vicki. [PRIAM] Vicki? That's a very outlandish name. [CASSANDRA] A heathen sort of name, if you ask me. [PRIAM] Nobody did ask you, Cassandra. Well, I really don't think we cancall you Vicki. We shall have to think another one for you, shan't we?Let me see, how about, Cressida. Would you think that would be allright? [VICKI] It's a very pretty name. [PRIAM] Very well, then. Cressida it shall be. Now you claim, Cressida,to come from the future? [VICKI] Yes. [PRIAM] So you know everything that's going to happen. [VICKI] Well, I [PRIAM] Look, Cressida, come into the palace. I expect you could do withsomething to eat. [VICKI] Oh, thank you, that would be very nice. [PARIS] Ah, that's a very good idea, I've not eaten since the [PRIAM] You get back to the war! If you've not killed Achilles bynightfall, I shall be seriously displeased. [PARIS] But look, father, why couldn't Troilus go? I mean, it's muchmore his sort of thing. [PRIAM] Hector. Don't argue, Paris! Get back to the war! [PARIS] Right. Well, bye, Cressida. We shall meet again this evening,all being well. [VICKI] Goodbye, Paris. Thank you very much for trying to help me. [PARIS] Oh, not at all. It was a great pleasure. [PRIAM] Come, Cressida. You and I have a great deal to say to eachother. I have a feeling you are going to bring us luck. [CASSANDRA] She will bring nothing but doom, death and disaster. [PRIAM] Don't pay any attention to Cassandra. She takes the gloomiestview. I suspect it's a kind of insurance, so that if things do go wrongshe can always say 'I told you so.' Come along. [CASSANDRA] Hear me, gods of Troy. Strike with your lightnings thisusurper. Or show me a sign that she is false, and then I'll strike herdown myself! --------------------------------------- (Greek tent) [STEVEN] Why not the wooden horse? [DOCTOR] Oh, my dear boy, I couldn't possibly suggest that. The wholestory is obviously absurd. Probably invented by Homer as some gooddramatic device. No, I think it would be completely impractical. [STEVEN] Yes, well, if you say so, Doctor. But in that case, hurry upand think of something else. The only way we can rescue Vicki is to getinto Troy. We've only got two days left. [DOCTOR] Oh, patience, my [ODYSSEUS] Rather less now. Haven't you thought of anything yet? [DOCTOR] Yes. Well, I have thought up of some conditions of my own. [ODYSSEUS] Oh, really? I don't see how you're going to enforce them, butwhat are they? [DOCTOR] Well, it's all very simple. That is, if you want me to help yousack the city, you must promise me that Vicki will be spared. [ODYSSEUS] Vicki? Who's she? [STEVEN] Oh, you know, I told you about her. Look, if they have takenthe time machine into Troy, then she'll still be inside it. [ODYSSEUS] I hope she is, for her sake. Because if she left it, she'spast worrying about now. [DOCTOR] Well, we're not quite sure of that, are we? [ODYSSEUS] Perhaps not, but I don't know what you expect me to do aboutit. When we enter Troy, I can't stop every woman and ask her if she's afriend of yours. It wouldn't be practical. [MESSENGER] Lord Odysseus? [ODYSSEUS] Yes, what is it? [MESSENGER] Prince Paris has called again for my Lord Achilles. [ODYSSEUS] Well? [MESSENGER] Our Lord Agamemnon asked that you go in his stead. [ODYSSEUS] To fight that fool? [MESSENGER] Yes. [ODYSSEUS] That puny princeling cannot fight! A waste of time. Go tellour Lord Agamemnon, if he wants someone to fight Achilles' battles, togo himself. Now get out. [STEVEN] Is Paris such a bad fighter? [ODYSSEUS] The weakling cannot stomach killing. [STEVEN] Let me go to Troy. Now, before you attack. [ODYSSEUS] What's that? [STEVEN] To get Vicki. After all, I'm no use here. I'm sure the Doctorcan manage very well without me. [DOCTOR] My dear boy, are you quite sure? [STEVEN] Look, it's perfectly simple. I allow Paris to take me prisoner. [ODYSSEUS] You really are most anxious to die. They will take you for aspy, as we did. [STEVEN] Not if I were wearing a uniform. I'd be a prisoner of war. [ODYSSEUS] Well, I don't know what they're doing with their prisoners ofwar at the moment. It rather depends on how they're feeling at thetime, I imagine. They're a very unpredictable lot, these Trojans. [STEVEN] Well, I'm prepared to take the risk if you're prepared to letme go. [ODYSSEUS] Really, that's very courageous of you. [STEVEN] Then you'll help me? [ODYSSEUS] I don't see why not, because as you said, you're of littleparticular use here. [STEVEN] What about the uniform? [ODYSSEUS] Ah! Ah, let me see. Last week, my friend Diomede died fromhis wounds in this camp. Now, you're about his size. You'll find histhing in the next tent. [STEVEN] Thank you, Odysseus. [ODYSSEUS] You really are a very brave man indeed. I should have beenmost distressed to have had to put you to death myself. [STEVEN] A very consoling thought. I'll see you both before I go. [ODYSSEUS] Now then, Doctor, to work. I hope you're not going todisappoint me. [DOCTOR] I sincerely hope not. Have you thought of tunnelling? [ODYSSEUS] It's been done. What we want is something revolutionary. [DOCTOR] Ah, yes. Dear me, sear me. Well, tell me, have you thoughtabout flying machines? [ODYSSEUS] No, I can't say I have. --------------------------------------- (Plain outside Troy) [PARIS] Achilles! (quietly) Achilles! Come out and fight, you jackal!Paris, prince of Troy, brother of Hector, seeks revenge. Do you notdare to face me? [STEVEN] I dare to face you, Paris. Turn and draw your sword. [PARIS] Ah. No, you're not Achilles. Are you? [STEVEN] I am Diomede, friend of Odysseus. [PARIS] Oh, Diomede, I do not want your blood. It's Achilles I seek. [STEVEN] And must my Lord Achilles be roused to undertake your death,adulterer? [PARIS] Yes, well, I'm prepared to overlook that for the moment. Iassure you I have no quarrel with you. [STEVEN] I'm Greek, you're Trojan. Is not that quarrel enough? [PARIS] Yes, well personally, I think this whole business has beencarried just a little bit too far. I mean, that Helen thing was just amisunderstanding. [STEVEN] Which I now propose to resolve. Draw your sword. [PARIS] Oh, right. Well, you'll be sorry for this, I promise you. [PARIS] Now, die, Greek, and tell them in Hades that Paris sent youthither! [STEVEN] I yield. [PARIS] I beg your pardon? [STEVEN] I yield. I'm your prisoner. [PARIS] Well, I say, this sort of thing is just not done. I mean, surelyyou'd rather die than be taken prisoner? [STEVEN] Well, yes, but, only in a general sort of way, you see. Yousee, when I first challenged you, little did I know that you wereindeed the Lion of Troy. [PARIS] Yes, I [STEVEN] I should have listened to my friends. [PARIS] Why? What do they say? [STEVEN] Why, that they would rather face Prince Hector and Troilustogether than the mighty Paris. That you are unconquerable. [PARIS] Really? They don't say that in Troy. [STEVEN] Oh, I could tell them a tale or two of your valour that thatwould make even King Priam blanch to hear. [PARIS] I say, could you really? [STEVEN] Yes, and will. Why, I hope my Lord Achilles does not meet you.Even now he searches the plain for you, and what indeed would happen toour cause if he were vanquished? [PARIS] Well, I don't really see how I can oblige him if I have aprisoner. I mean, there will come a day of reckoning, of course, but,well, for the moment, pick up your sword! Now, I suppose I shall haveto drive you like a Grecian cur into the city, won't I? Excuse me amoment. Farewell, Achilles! For today, Paris of Troy has otherbusiness! Come, dog! (Paris retrieves his sword and they depart forTroy) Oh, yes. --------------------------------------- (Priam's palace) [VICKI] Oh, thank you, that was delicious. [PRIAM] You're sure you wouldn't like a little more breast of peacock? [VICKI] No, thank you. I couldn't eat another mouthful. How on earth doyou manage to live like this when you're under siege? [PRIAM] My nephew Aeneas brings us a little something from time to time.He's in command of our mobile force. Spends most of his time harryingthe Greek supply routes with his cavalry. [VICKI] I didn't know cavalry was invented yet? [PRIAM] Oh, bless my soul, yes. We are basically horsemen. Our ancestorscame from central Asia, found this strategic position and chose tofortify it. We only need now to beat the Greeks a few score morehorses. [VICKI] You seem very fond of horses. [PRIAM] Fond of them? I should think we are. We worship them. A Trojanwould do anything for a horse. [VICKI] Funny you should say that. [PRIAM] Funny, why? What do you mean? [VICKI] Well, it's nothing. It's just a story I heard a long time ago. [PRIAM] A story about this war? [VICKI] Well, yes. But it's nothing. I'm sure it's just a legend. [PRIAM] What sort of a legend? Cressida, I'm relying on you to tell useverything you remember. The smallest thing may be of importance. [VICKI] Yes. Prince Troilus, who was here just now. Is he your youngestson? [PRIAM] Troilus? Oh yes. He's about the same age as you, I suppose. Butwhy do you ask? I though we were supposed to be talking about [VICKI] He's very good-looking, isn't he? [PRIAM] Is he? Oh, I never noticed myself. I don't particularly noticegood looks. Only gets you into trouble. Look at Paris. Handsome as thedevil, but a complete coward. [VICKI] I thought he was rather nice. [PRIAM] Yes, women generally do. That's what got us into all thistrouble. Oh, of course, you've not met Helen yet, have you? [VICKI] No, I'm looking forward to that. [PRIAM] Yes, well, she's. Oh, never mind. If only he'd met a nice,sensible girl like you. I always say it's character that counts, notgood looks. [VICKI] Thank you, kindly. [PRIAM] Oh, no. I didn't mean. Good heavens, no. I wish you wouldn'tkeep changing the subject, Cressida. Funny you should say that aboutTroilus. I thought he was rather taken with you. [VICKI] Did you really think so? [PRIAM] Of course I did. I thought we were supposed to be talking aboutthe war. Now don't keep changing the subject. You were saying somethingabout a legend. [VICKI] Was I? Yes. Well, you see [PARIS] Father! I've captured a Greek! [PRIAM] Paris, when will you learn to stop bursting in here when I'mbusy? [PARIS] Oh. Well, I just thought you might want to question him, that'sall. [PRIAM] Well I may do so in due course, but [PARIS] Oh good, he's just outside. [PRIAM] Oh, you've not brought him here, into the palace? [PARIS] Oh, don't worry. He's thoroughly calm. [PRIAM] That's not the point. [PARIS] Yes, well, now he is here, couldn't I just bring him in? [PRIAM] Oh, I suppose so. [PARIS] Good. [PRIAM] I'm sorry, Cressida. This is utterly unforgiveable. [PARIS] Here, Diomede! Come on, step lively now! [VICKI] Steven! What on earth are you? [STEVEN] Shh, Vicki. [PRIAM] What was that he called her? [CASSANDRA] You heard, didn't you? That was the name she called herselfwhen we found her. And she recognised him too. Since he's a Greek, whatmore proof do you need that she's a spy? Guards! Kill her. Kill both ofthem! --------------------------------------- (Priam's palace) [VICKI] No! No! [PARIS] Guards, sheath arms! And since when have you given orders to themilitary? I'm in command here! [CASSANDRA] Of everything except your senses. [PARIS] I am at present officer commanding all Trojan forces/ [CASSANDRA] Ha! [PARIS] And I will not tolerate interference from a fortune-teller ofnotorious unreliability. [CASSANDRA] How dare you! I am High Priestess of Troy! [PARIS] All right then, get back to your temple before you give us allgalloping religious mania. Oh, really, father. I can't tolerate anotherof her tedious tirades at the moment. [CASSANDRA] Father, do you hear him? [PRIAM] Yes, it's quite refreshing. It seems there's a man lurkingbehind that flaccid facade after all. [PARIS] Really, father, I do wish you'd refrain from patronising me infront of the prisoner. [PRIAM] The prisoner. Oh, that's it. One pathetic prisoner and he thinkshe's Hercules. Your success has gone to your head. [PARIS] Just before you start sneering at this prisoner, perhaps youshould know that his name is Diomede. And if you look in the Greek armylists, you'll see he's quite a catch. [STEVEN] Which none but you could have caught, oh Lion of Troy. [CASSANDRA] What was that? [PARIS] Well, there you are, you see. Right. Go on, go on. Tell them,Diomede. [STEVEN] We fought. I lost. I am not ashamed. There is none in all ourranks who could stand against the wrath of Paris when he seeks revenge. [PARIS] Yes, very good. Very good, yes. There you are, you see? I'mtreated with more respect by the enemy than I am by my own family. [CASSANDRA] They don't know you as well as we do. [PARIS] Perhaps better! And perhaps the time has come for you to startrevising your opinions, sister. [CASSANDRA] You forget one thing. Your prisoner and that girl haveclearly met before. [VICKI] Why won't you let me explain that. It's really all quite simple. [PRIAM] Yes, I'm sure it is. But Paris claimed Diomede here as a Greekprisoner. And Cassandra claims that you are a Greek spy. [CASSANDRA] And a sorceress. [PRIAM] Yes, quite. After all, you do claim to know the future. [VICKI] Yes, but don't you see, that's [PRIAM] Hush, my child. This war with the Greeks has been going on forten long years, and frankly we're very bored with being penned up here.Now if you are what you really say you are, as a pledge of good faithto us, you must either give me information that will lead to our speedyvictory, or use your supernatural powers to turn the tide of battle inour favour. [VICKI] But suppose I don't? Suppose the Greeks win? [CASSANDRA] You will be burnt as a sorceress, a false prophet, and aspy. [PRIAM] Well, as one of them, anyway. But I have every confidence inyou, Cressida. And I will give you one whole day to decide which to do. [STEVEN] One day? [PRIAM] Yes. [STEVEN] But [PRIAM] Till tomorrow evening, to be precise. Now if you have noobjection, I think they ought to be taken away. [PARIS] Oh, yes, yes, I think that's all very fair. [VICKI] Where are they taking us? [PRIAM] To the dungeons. Oh, don't worry, you'll find them quitecomfortable. I often spend an hour or two down there myself when I'vegot tired of things up here. [STEVEN] How long do you intend to keep us there? [CASSANDRA] Till you rot. [PRIAM] Oh, well really, Cassandra. Though that may be true in yourcase, Diomede, but I trust Cressida will join us before tomorrowevening. [PARIS] Oh, yes, yes, right. Guards, take them away. --------------------------------------- (Greek tent) [ODYSSEUS] Well, Doctor, you have one day left. What progress are youmaking? [DOCTOR] Considerable. Here. Now, you just take that for a moment. Now,pay attention please. [ODYSSEUS] What is it? [DOCTOR] Well, what does it look like? A flying machine. [ODYSSEUS] Looks like a parchment dart to me. My boy makes these toannoy his tutors. [DOCTOR] Excellent! Since you're so familiar with this project, thenit's so much easier for me to talk to you. Come along. Come along. [ODYSSEUS] Huh! [DOCTOR] Now, of course you realise that we can build a much larger one,capable of carrying a man. [ODYSSEUS] I suppose so. What good would that be? [DOCTOR] Oh, think, my dear Odysseus. A whole fleet of them carrying acompany of soldiers over the walls and into Troy. [ODYSSEUS] How would we get them into the air? [DOCTOR] Catapults! [ODYSSEUS] Catapults? That sounds like a vulgar oath to me! I must tryit on Agamemnon. Catapults! [DOCTOR] Nonsense! The catapult is, well, you could make one foryourself out of strips of ox hide, and secure both ends, and thenstretch it out like a bow-string. [ODYSSEUS] I see. [DOCTOR] Then you pour water over it, let it dry in the sun, and whathappens then? [ODYSSEUS] It begins to smell. [DOCTOR] Never mind that. It shrinks. Now, allow me to demonstrate. Youplace the flying machine thus, as you would an arrow in a bow, and letit go. [ODYSSEUS] What happens? [DOCTOR] The machine flies in the air with a soldier clinging to itsback. [ODYSSEUS] Yes, well, here's one soldier who's doing nothing of thesort. [DOCTOR] Agamemnon, then. [ODYSSEUS] That might be quite an idea. [DOCTOR] Thank you. I thought you'd like it. [ODYSSEUS] Agamemnon wouldn't do it, though. [DOCTOR] Oh? Why not? [ODYSSEUS] He'd object most strongly. We'll have to think of someoneelse. [DOCTOR] Well, anyone could do it, for that matter. I mean, even a childcould operate it. [ODYSSEUS] I'm very glad to hear you say that, Doctor, because I intendto build this flying machine. [DOCTOR] Excellent, excellent! [ODYSSEUS] And you shall have the honour of being the first man to fly! --------------------------------------- (Trojan dungeon) [VICKI] If you hadn't called me Vicki, we wouldn'tbe here now. [STEVEN] Look, you called me by my name first. [VICKI] Only because I was surprised to see you. I can't think why youdisguised yourself as a Greek, anyway. [STEVEN] I disguised myself so that I could rescue you. [VICKI] You succeeded beautifully. Thanks, Diomede. [STEVEN] Oh, look, be fair. How was I to know that you'd manage to getround King Priam? [VICKI] You might have guessed. I know how to take care of myself. Whycouldn't you have disguised yourself as a Trojan? It would have beenfar more sensible. [STEVEN] Because I haven't got a Trojan uniform. If you're so clever atlooking after yourself, you'd better start thinking of a way to get outof here, and fast. [VICK] What do you mean, fast? [STEVEN] Yesterday, the Doctor was given two days to capture Troy, andif I know him, he'll probably succeed. [VICKI] Well, that's all right then. We shall be rescued. [STEVEN] Rescued? You'll be lucky! Look, may I point out that in the oneday that the Doctor now has left, you have to think of a way of savingthe city and defeating the Greeks. [VICKI] Oh. I hadn't thought of it like that. [STEVEN] Well, you'd better start, because I don't think Cassandra'sgoing to wait until the city falls before she gets rid of you. [VICKI] Paris wouldn't let her do that, neither would Troilus. [STEVEN] Troilus? [VICKI] Paris's younger brother. He likes me. I like him. [STEVEN] I don't think that's going to matter much when the city startsto burn. Now, come on, start thinking. It's you against the Doctor now. [VICKI] Oh Steven, what can we do to stop him? Do you know what he wasplanning? [STEVEN] Oh, I've no idea. I suggested the wooden horse. He said thatwas something Homer made up. [VICKI] What was that? [STEVEN] Some fool throwing stones at us. Probably stirred up byCassandra. [VICKI] Except for her, they were all quite friendly to me. [STEVEN] Vicki! It's the Cyclops! [VICKI] What? [STEVEN] The servant of Odysseus. Look, Cyclops, can you understand me?Tell them. Tell them that I've found our other friend. Yes? That theymustn't attack Troy. That's it, the city. They mustn't attack Troyuntil the day after tomorrow. Otherwise, we'll both be killed, thisgirl and I. You understand? [VICKI] Glad he thinks that's funny. [STEVEN] Look. Tell, tell the old man. [TROILUS [OC]] Cressida, what's going on? [VICKI] Oh, Troilus! [TROILUS] What were you doing? [VICKI] Ah, nothing. Just watching Diomede examining those things inthere. [TROILUS] What are you doing up there? [STEVEN] Just admiring the view. It's a very handsome square out here. [TROILUS] Perhaps, but you're supposed to sit in your cell and be quiet.You weren't talking to him, were you? You're not supposed to. [VICKI] Oh, no. I was just watching. [TROILUS] I brought you some food. [VICKI] Oh, thank you. I though I'd been forgotten. You can tell mewhat's going on while I eat. [TROILUS] I'm not allowed to talk to you. [VICKI] Why not? [TROILUS] I'm on duty. [VICKI] Well, can't you even [TROILUS] I'm sorry, Cressida, but I must obey orders. [VICKI] Mmm. This is very good. Would you like some? Go on. Try some. [TROILUS] Well, actually, I have already eaten. --------------------------------------- (Greek tent) [ODYSSEUS] Will you keep still? [DOCTOR] I'm thinking. [ODYSSEUS] Well, think sitting down. Now you said your plans were ready.I've got half a company of men standing by to make this machine ofyours. [DOCTOR] Dismiss them then. [ODYSSEUS] What? You have very little time left, Doctor. [DOCTOR] Oh, I'm quite well aware of that, but I'm afraid this machineisn't going to work. [ODYSSEUS] You mean you're too frightened to fly it yourself. [DOCTOR] No, no, no. It isn't that. Not at all. I've made a mistake inmy calculations. [ODYSSEUS] A mistake? [DOCTOR] Yes, yes. I'm afraid we must face up to it, Odysseus, man wasnever meant to fly. [ODYSSEUS] Wasn't he now? Well, that seems to me a great shame. Now ifyour machine won't work, Doctor, I propose to fly you without it. [DOCTOR] Oh? What do you mean? [ODYSSEUS] Simply this. That my catapult is ready and it seems a greatpity to waste it. Now you have failed me, therefore you are expendable.I propose to fire you over the walls of Troy. [DOCTOR] Ah, but I have another idea. And a much better one. [ODYSSEUS] It had better be. Well? [DOCTOR] Have you ever thought of a horse? [ODYSSEUS] Is that supposed to be funny? [DOCTOR] It should be a huge horse, about forty feet high. [ODYSSEUS] What good would that be? [DOCTOR] We build it hollow, and we fill it with soldiers and leave iton the sandy plain for the Trojans to capture it. [ODYSSEUS] And it's just possible that the Trojans will come out andtake the horse back into the city. [DOCTOR] And the Greeks pretend to sail away. [ODYSSEUS] Yes. Yes, that's quite an idea, Doctor. --------------------------------------- (Trojan dungeon) [TROILUS] No, of course not. I It was just thatCassandra went on so about your being a witch! [VICKI] And you thought I might put a spell on you? [TROILUS] Well, no. Of course not. I'd like to see you try it. You'renot a witch, are you? [VICKI] Of course not. Do I look like one? [TROILUS] Well, no, but then, I've never met one. Look here, I shouldn'tbe talking to you like this. And what are you laughing at? [VICKI] Well, you're not in the war, are you? You're far too young. [TROILUS] I'm seventeen next birthday! [VICKI] That's hardly any older than me. You shouldn't be killing peopleat your age. [TROILUS] Well, between you and me, I don't honestly enjoy killing atall. But I love adventure. [VICKI] Yes. I know what you mean. --------------------------------------- (Agamemnon's tent) [AGAMEMNON] Well? What is this idea of yours? [DOCTOR] Well, it's all perfectly simple. [ODYSSEUS] Nonsense! Show them the plans, Doctor. It's quiterevolutionary. There, what do you make of that? [MENELAUS] Eh. Well, it's a horse. Isn't it? [ODYSSEUS] Well done, Menelaus. But what sort of horse, that's thepoint. [MENELAUS] Ah. Er. Well, a big horse. [ODYSSEUS] Exactly. A very big horse. [AGAMEMNON] Is this some sort of joke? [ODYSSEUS] A horse at least forty feet high. [MENELAUS] Oh, but horses don't grow as big as that. Do they? I mean,even the Great Horse of Asia that the Trojans worship. [ODYSSEUS] Now you're beginning to get to the point. Horses don't growthat high. [MENELAUS] No. [ODYSSEUS] The Great Horse of Asia does not exist, therefore we aregoing to build one for the Trojans as a sort of present. [AGAMEMNON] Go on. [DOCTOR] We build it of wood, and we build it hollow. Then we fill itwith a picked team of soldiers. [MENELAUS] Well, then what do we do? [DOCTOR] You take to the ships and sail away, to make the Trojans thinkyou've all gone. [MENELAUS] Excellent. Now that is a good idea. [DOCTOR] You all come back again, of course. [MENELAUS] Why is there always a catch in it? [DOCTOR] None of this must happen before nightfall. [ODYSSEUS] Now Achilles will take his Myrmidons and hide out upon theplain. [AGAMEMNON] I thought you said the best warriors'd be in the horse? [ODYSSEUS] So they will be. I shall be there with my Ithacans. [AGAMEMNON] Eh? [ODYSSEUS] My Ithacans, and the Doctor, of course. [DOCTOR] That wasn't part of the plan. [ODYSSEUS] It is now. I've just thought of it. I'm standing no morenonsense from you, Doctor. [DOCTOR] That will not be necessary. I shall only get in the way. [ODYSSEUS] You'd better not do that. Now the rest is up to thoseTrojans. They see that we have gone, they see their Great Horse uponthe plain, which has descended from heaven to drive us away. [DOCTOR] Then they drag the horse into the city. [AGAMEMNON] Are you sure? Suppose they set fire to it? [DOCTOR] Oh, well, that is a calculated risk. But somehow I don'tbelieve they'll want to destroy one of their own gods. [MENELAUS] Yes, but once they have the horse inside, won't they closethe gates? [ODYSSEUS] Of course they will. But during the night, we shall leave thehorse, open up the gates to let you all in again. What more do youwant? [MENELAUS] A drink. --------------------------------------- (Trojan dungeon) [VICKI] There, I've finished. That was lovely. [TROILUS] Then I'd better go. I've stayed here far too long as it isalready. [VICKI] Oh. But aren't you going to take some food to Diomede? [TROILUS] Why? [VICKI] Well, perhaps he's hungry too. [TROILUS] But he's a Greek. He deserves to be hungry. [VICKI] Well, perhaps so, but you can't let him starve. [TROILUS] He won't starve. The guards will throw him a scrap or twolater on. [VICKI] Well, that's a very nice attitude, I must say. [TROILUS] Look here, is this Diomede a particular friend of yours orsomething? [VICKI] A very good friend, yes. [TROILUS] Well I don't see how you can be friends with a Greek. [VICKI] Oh, look, Troilus. When you come from the future you makefriends with a lot of people, and he's one of them. [TROILUS] I see. But he's not in any way special? [VICKI] No. Why do you keep on? [TROILUS] Well, because that's what I was. I mean, that's what theothers were worried about. [VICKI] Oh, yes, well, all right, you can tell them to stop worrying andlet us out. [TROILUS] Yes, yes I will. But I don't suppose anyone will take anynotice. [VICKI] Well, do your best anyway. [TROILUS] Naturally. I'll let you know what happens. Perhaps I can comeback later on. If there's any news, that is. [VICKI] Well, you know where to find me, don't you? I mean I don'texpect I shall be going out or anything. [TROILUS] I suppose not. Well, goodbye for the present then, Cressida. [VICKI] Goodbye, Troilus. [STEVEN] You ought to be ashamed of yourself. [VICKI] I don't see why. At least I've done something towards getting usout of here, which is more than you have. [STEVEN] And what chance have I had? [VICKI] Anyway, I though he was rather nice. [STEVEN] Oh, you made that painfully obvious. And I think you might atleast have had the decency to have saved me some food. [STEVEN] Oh, thanks. [VICKI] The guards are sending you some scraps later. Troilus said so. [STEVEN] Hmm. Troilus. [VICKI] You know, Steven, I think I could get to be quite happy here intime. [STEVEN] I hate to remind you, but time is the one thing we just haven'tgot. [VICKI] But you said you'd sent a message to the Doctor. [STEVEN] Yeah, well, I think I have. It's hard to tell with the Cyclops.In any case, your new boyfriend came in before I'd finished telling himeverything. [VICKI] Well, let's hope he did understand. [STEVEN] Yeah, and let's hope he got out of Troy safely. Otherwise we'rein trouble. --------------------------------------- (Outside Troy) [GUARD] Halt! Halt or I shoot! [PARIS] Identify yourself. Speak! [PARIS] Who are you? [PARIS] Oh, confound you. Why did you have to do that? The poor littlefellow probably never meant any harm. Well, now we shall never know whohe was. --------------------------------------- (Plain outside Troy) [ODYSSEUS] Well, Doctor, that's a warhorse and ahalf for you. That's something like a secret weapon. Better than half adozen of your crack-brained flying machines. [DOCTOR] Yes, I only wish I shared your confidence. [ODYSSEUS] Oh, what's the matter with you? Have you no faith in your owninvention? [DOCTOR] No, no, Odysseus. It isn't that. But, I just didn't like thelook of those fetlocks. They've no safety margin at all. [ODYSSEUS] Well, they haven't got to last forever. After all, we're notbuilding one of the wonders of the world, are we? As long as that horsegets us into Troy it can collapse into a mare's nest for all I care. [DOCTOR] Ah, suppose it collapses whilst we're all in it? [ODYSSEUS] Then we shall all look very foolish indeed. [DOCTOR] Yes, and I've no wish to be made a laughing stock. [ODYSSEUS] Not another word, Doctor. To coin a phrase, you are comingfor a ride. --------------------------------------- (Trojan dungeon) [VICKI] I told you strong-arm tactics wouldn't work. --------------------------------------- (Inside the Wooden Horse) [DOCTOR] Odysseus. Come here, quickly. [ODYSSEUS] What is it now, Doctor? Upon my soul, you're making me asnervous as a Bacchante at her first orgy. Why don't you try and getsome sleep? [DOCTOR] I've never felt less like sleep in my life. I thought I sawsome movement down there. [ODYSSEUS] I hope you did. That's the whole point of the operation, isit not? Pretty lot of fools we'd look if we come here and nobody takesa damned bit of notice of us. [DOCTOR] I think I ought to warn you that I've given second thoughts tothe whole of this scheme, and I think it better we turn round and goback before it's too late. Get out of my way. [ODYSSEUS] Now look, Doctor, will you be still? I suggest, Doctor, thatif you cannot sleep, you start counting Trojans. Here they come now. --------------------------------------- (Plain outside Troy) (Trojan dungeon) [TROILUS] Cressida! Cressida, wake up. You must come quickly. [VICKI] What's the matter? [TROILUS] The Greeks have gone. [VICKI] What do you mean? [TROILUS] Well, the whole fleet has sailed, and now there's not one tobe seen. They've all gone home. The war's over! [VICKI] Are you sure they've all really gone? [TROILUS] Well, Paris has gone out now to make sure, but what else canit mean? Well, come and see for yourself. [VICKI] Are you releasing me? [TROILUS] Well, naturally. Father's terribly pleased with you. [VICKI] Oh, it was nothing to do with me. [TROILUS] Well, he thinks it was, and that's the main thing. He saidthat you've brought us luck as he always said you would. Cassandra'sfurious about it. She hates you more than ever now. [VICKI] Oh dear. [TROILUS] Oh, that doesn't matter. She's completely discredited. If eventhe end of the war can't cheer her up, she's not worth bothering about.Well, come on. Father wants to thank you himself. [VICKI] Yes. Oh, what about Diomede? [TROILUS] Who? [VICKI] Diomede. [TROILUS] Yes. What about Diomede? Do you think that you can fight thewhole of Troy on your own? [STEVEN] I don't want to fight anybody. [TROILUS] Well, that's just as well. You're the last of the Greeks now.Your friends have all sailed home without you. Well, come on. --------------------------------------- (Inside the Wooden Horse) [ODYSSEUS] Absolute silence, everyone. [DOCTOR] Well, but I, I [ODYSSEUS] That includes you, Doctor. [DOCTOR] Oh. [ODYSSEUS] Well, this time Troy will be destroyed. --------------------------------------- (Priam's palace) [PRIAM] Come on in, Cressida. Come in, both of you. Has Troilus told youthe news? [VICKI] Yes, it's marvellous, isn't it? I'm so pleased. [PRIAM] Pleased? I should just say you are. You did it. [VICKI] I [PRIAM] Oh, yes you did. I don't know how, but that's your own business,I suppose. Now, why on earth couldn't you tell us this was going tohappen? You would have saved yourself all those hours in the cells, andus a great deal of worry. [CASSANDRA] She didn't tell you because it's some form of treachery.Don't trust her, father. [PRIAM] Oh, stuff and nonsense. Oh, go and feed the sacred serpents orsomething. If you can't be pleasant at a time like this, Cassandra, Idon't want to see you. Oh, Paris! Have the Greeks really gone? [PARIS] Every last one of them, or so it seems. [PRIAM] There you are, Cassandra. I told you so. Oh, do for goodnesssake, smile. [PARIS] But, more important, I think I've just found the Great Horse ofAsia. [PRIAM] You've done what? [PARIS] Something uncommonly like it, anyway. [PRIAM] What on earth are you talking about? [PARIS] The Great Horse of Asia. Standing all by itself in the middle ofthe plain, about forty foot high and made of wood. [PRIAM] Whereabouts in the middle of the plain? [PARIS] Near the Grecian line. Look. You can just see it from here. [PRIAM] Great heavens, I do believe you're right. It is the Great Horseof Asia. [CASSANDRA] It's an omen. An omen of disaster. [VICKI] (sotto) It is the Trojan Horse. But I thought you [TROILUS] What was that? [CASSANDRA] Yes, ask her! Go on, ask her! She knows what it is. It's ourdoom! It's the death of Troy, brought upon us by that cursed witch! [PARIS] Now understand me, Cassandra. I will not have one word saidagainst that horse. [TROILUS] And neither will I against Cressida. [CASSANDRA] Will you not? Then woe to the House of Priam. Woe to theTrojans. [PARIS] I'm afraid you're a bit late to say 'whoa' to the horse. I'vejust given instructions to have it brought into the city. --------------------------------------- (Priam's palace) [CASSANDRA] Of all the idiocy, to have it broughtinto the city. [PARIS] Why? That horse is in the image of one of our gods. [CASSANDRA] It's a trick. My dreams have always been right and theyforetell disaster. [PARIS] Now were they right about that little temple? That has broughtus nothing but good luck. [CASSANDRA] Good luck you call it. The whole family besotted by thatsorceress. [PRIAM] Oh, I do wish you'd stop calling Cressida that. And I would callit luck to have the entire Greek army removed from our shores. Peace atlast. Though the arrival of the horse is a little puzzling. [PARIS] Well, Cressida probably arranged it, and the very sight of itjust, just frightened the Greeks away. [TROILUS] Where is Cressida? [PARIS] Oh, she's probably down in the square watching them bring in thehorse. [TROILUS] Oh, then I'd better go look for her. I don't like her to gowandering round the city on her own. [PRIAM] No, bring her back up here again. She'll get a better view. [CASSANDRA] Katarina, go and look for the sorceress. I don't trust mylovesick brother. [KATARINA] But, great priestess, the auguries said that [CASSANDRA] Do you dare to question me? [KATARINA] No. [CASSANDRA] Very well, then. Go and watch for that girl. --------------------------------------- (Dungeons) [STEVEN] What's going on up there? [VICKI] They're just bringing the horse into the city. Follow me. --------------------------------------- (Inside the Wooden Horse) [DOCTOR] I'm still very worried about thosefetlocks. [ODYSSEUS] Be happy that's all you have to worry about. Of all theundignified ways of entering a city this takes the fried phoenix. [DOCTOR] If only you would have allowed me another day to fit shockabsorbers. Oh, I say! Oh! [ODYSSEUS] Zeus be praised. We've arrived. [DOCTOR] Oh! Well now, what is it you propose to do? [ODYSSEUS] We wait, Doctor, without movement and in absolute silence. --------------------------------------- (Palace Balcony) [PARIS] There, father, the horse is safelyinstalled. And you may notice, my sister, that nothing disastrous, hasoccurred. [CASSANDRA] Wait and see. There's time yet and mark my words that horsewill be the doom of Troy. [PRIAM] It's a little more rough hewn than I had expected. Well, sinceit's here we'd better take a closer look. --------------------------------------- (Troy city square) [STEVEN] That's some horse. [VICKI] If you can call it that. [STEVEN] The Doctor said. [VICKI] It'd be pretty silly if they caught you again. [STEVEN] And you. [VICKI] What do you mean? [STEVEN] Well, if they find us together they'll know you let me out. [VICKI] They think I invoked that thing. I'm all right. [STEVEN] Yes, only so long as they think it's a gift from the gods.They'll know very differently once the Doctor and company come out ofit. [VICKI] Do you think he's in it? [STEVEN] Well, it's likely isn't it? I mean, he'll be worried aboutgetting back to the Tardis. [VICKI] He must be able to see he's got nothing to worry about. Thatthing is so rickety it must be full of peep holes. [STEVEN] All right, you do better in the time they had. Now I wonder whyhe didn't delay like we asked? [VICKI] He must have a plan of escape to rescue us. Cyclops must havetold him where we were. [STEVEN] If Cyclops got through. [VICKI] Look out. [VICKI] That is one of Cassandra's girls. [STEVEN] What? [VICKI] That girl. I've seen her with Cassandra. She's a handmaid at theTemple or something. [STEVEN] Then she must be looking for you. Look, you go back. I'll findsomewhere to hide around here. [VICKI] Look, they trust me, I'd [STEVEN] You'd better go. In any case, Troilus'll die of jealousy if heknows you're with me. [VICKI] And what is that supposed to mean? [STEVEN] Oh, come off it, Vicki. The way you two were carrying on backthere in the [VICKI] Troilus has been very kind to me and I'm very fond of him and ifall you can do is make fun [STEVEN] I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I am sorry. Okay, but look. If you reallyare that fond of him you'd better tell him to get out of the city. [VICKI] Why? You mean when they come out of that thing they. Steven! [STEVEN] It's possible, isn't it? Tell him to get out of Troy, just tobe on the safe side. [TROILUS] Diomede. He's gone. [PARIS] He's gone? [TROILUS] His cell is empty. The guards were locked in by a trick, sothey say. [CASSANDRA] That Cressida. Troy's doom is nigh! [TROILUS] How could it be? She's one girl. [CASSANDRA] A girl you call her, you love-sick fool, but I know she's awitch and must be burnt along with that horse out there. See. There shestands. [PARIS] Now did you ever see someone so unlike a witch? [PRIAM] Now, now quiet all of you. Come here, my child. Where have youbeen? We've been worried about you. [VICKI] I've just been out. [PRIAM] Yes, but where? [TROILUS] Look, you didn't free Diomede, did you? [VICKI] Diomede? [PRIAM] Yes, your friend, the Greek prisoner. He has escaped. Did youset him free? [PARIS] Oh, that's nonsense. I mean how could she have? [CASSANDRA] By sorcery. [VICKI] I am not a sorceress. Really, I'm not. [PRIAM] Yes, I believe you, my child, but you must forgive us if we arenaturally suspicious. This has been a long and difficult war, and peacewill take a little bit of getting used to. [CASSANDRA] My handmaiden Katarina will stay with her. [PRIAM] Very well. Come, my children, our people have gone to the squareof oratory, we must go and join them there and I must speak. And wemust also make plans for the celebration. Thank you, my dear. See youlater. [VICKI] Thank you. Thank you for being so kind to me. [PRIAM] My dear child, this city owes it's salvation to you. [VICKI] Oh, no. Let it not happen. [KATARINA] Did you want something? [VICKI] No, thank you. --------------------------------------- (Inside the Wooden Horse) [DOCTOR] How you can sit there so peacefully defeatsme. Have you no feelings, no emotions? [ODYSSEUS] I was thinking, Doctor, that with any luck either Agamemnonor Achilles will not come through. [DOCTOR] You mean they'll desert us? [ODYSSEUS] No, die. Just a hope. One less finger in the pie. A greatershare of the booty for me. [DOCTOR] That is a most immoral way of looking at life. [ODYSSEUS] Nonsense. It's the reason that I've been here for ten longyears fighting all the time. [DOCTOR] Yes, well I must get out of here at once. [ODYSSEUS] You can't. [DOCTOR] I've only got to pull that lever and I can get back down intothe square. [ODYSSEUS] Yes, yes, but as I happen to be sitting on the rope you'llfall forty feet and break your neck. [DOCTOR] I will not be party to your schemes. You forced me to inventthis contraption. [ODYSSEUS] I'm very glad I did, Doctor. Up to now it's been verysatisfactory. [DOCTOR] You had no right to bring me here at all. I'm utterly uselessto you. You must let me out of here. You're selfish, greedy, corrupt,cheap, horrible. Your one thought is for yourself and what you can getout of it. [ODYSSEUS] Be quiet, old man. [DOCTOR] I will not be quiet. You may stay here if you wish to have yourinsignificant win, your victory or whatever you call it, but you mustlet me out of here. [ODYSSEUS] One more word out of you and I shall kill you! You would bemy first victim in Troy. [ODYSSEUS] That's better. About now our ships should be returning, asyou planned. --------------------------------------- (Priam's palace) [TROILUS] Cressida. [VICKI] Oh, I'm so glad you've come. [TROILUS] I had to see you. [VICKI] Troilus, dear Troilus, will you do something for me? [TROILUS] Anything. [VICKI] Leave the city. [TROILUS] Why? [VICKI] It's Diomede. [TROILUS] Diomede? [VICKI] I'm sure he's out on the plain. You've got to go and look forhim and find him. If you bring him back you'll prove yourself thewarrior you really are. He'll be your prisoner then as well as Paris'. [TROILUS] But he may have been rescued by the Greeks by now. [VICKI] No, no, no. Paris said they'd all gone away and that was beforehe even escaped. [TROILUS] Why this concern for Diomede? Is he? Do you? I mean, are youin love with him? [VICKI] No, he's just a friend. [TROILUS] Then if he's your friend, why do you want him captured? To bea prisoner of war's considered very bad form. [VICKI] But. Oh, why won't you see? Go out and search for him on theplain. [TROILUS] Cressida, I said I'd do anything for you, and a Trojan standsby his word, but please, why do you want me to leave the city and goand search for a highly skilled Greek warrior. [VICKI] He isn't armed. I wouldn't send you out there if I thoughtanything could happen to you. I just want you to. I just want you tocatch your own prisoner. [TROILUS] Did you mean that? About not wanting me hurt? [VICKI] Of course I did. I wouldn't ask you to do it otherwise. [TROILUS] Oh, Cressida. [VICKI] You haven't got time. You've got to go now. [TROILUS] Don't worry. Everything's going to be all right. --------------------------------------- (Troy city square) [ODYSSEUS] This plan of yours, Doctor, is going to be a great success.Stay close to me. --------------------------------------- (Outside Troy) [TROILUS] Diomede! [TROILUS] Diomede, where are you! [ACHILLES] What ails you, petty princeling? Lost some plaything? The oneyou call for is long dead. [TROILUS] You're a Greek. I thought you'd sailed away. Who are you? [ACHILLES] You should not ask. My name is Achilles. [TROILUS] My brother's murderer. [ACHILLES] So, Prince Troilus, is it? Well, I killed your brotherfairly. Fought him man to man. Alas, I cannot do the same for you. Thiswill be the murder of a boy. [TROILUS] Has Cressida played me false? Very well. I'll fight mybrother's murderer for I only live to kill Diomede. [ACHILLES] Who is already dead. So follow him, Trojan! [TROILUS] So died my brother. The wheel has spun full circle. [TROILUS] Diomede, I lived to call down wrath for love of Cressida. --------------------------------------- (Troy city square) (Priam's palace) [PRIAM] What noise was that? What are you doing? [PARIS] It's the Greeks! They were inside the horse and our gates areopen to the enemy. [CASSANDRA] And none of you would listen to me! [ODYSSEUS] Three hornets in their nest. Kill them! --------------------------------------- (Outside the Tardis) [VICKI] Doctor! Oh, Doctor! [DOCTOR] Oh, my dear child! Oh, how lovely to see you. Where have youbeen all this time? And where's Steven? [VICKI] Doctor, he's over there, but I've got to talk to you. [DOCTOR] Oh, now one thing at a time, child. Where's the young man? [VICKI] Katarina. Katarina, this is the Doctor. Now, go and find the manyou call Diomede. He's hiding amongst those pillars over there. [KATARINA] You're from the other place? [DOCTOR] But who is this child. Now pull yourself together. We've got togo. [VICKI] Katarina, go and find Diomede. He will be there. Bring him to mytemple, quickly. [DOCTOR] We must all go and find him. Come along. [VICKI] No, Doctor. Into the Tardis, quickly. [DOCTOR] Listen, my dear child, the boy, the boy. [VICKI] Open the door and listen to me, please. [DOCTOR] Oh, yes, but just be patient will you. [VICKI] Steven is safe. Katarina will bring him. Come on, I've got totalk to you. --------------------------------------- (Troy city square) [KATARINA] Diomede, Cressida has sent me. [STEVEN] Who are you? [KATARINA] I've come to take you to your temple. Oh, come, quickly. [STEVEN] I can't. [KATARINA] Lean on me. --------------------------------------- (Priam's palace) [ODYSSEUS] Stop struggling, woman. You are reserved for Agamemnon andhe's welcome to you. [CASSANDRA] Tricksters! You Greeks will never learn to fight honestly! [ODYSSEUS] But we win! [CASSANDRA] Not for long. The day will come when you will perish as youmade us do. [ODYSSEUS] Take her away. The high-born are reserved for Agamemnon. Ican't wait to see him enjoy a talk with this one. [CASSANDRA] Ten long years we fought you, Odysseus, and ten long yearsit'll be before you see your home again. [ODYSSEUS] To Agamemnon with her. To his ship. A personal present fromme. [CASSANDRA] Take your hands off me! Take your hands off me! --------------------------------------- (Outside the Tardis) [DOCTOR] You're sure it's just the shoulder? Right. Well, steady,steady. Hold tight. Hold on. Yes, careful. Just a minute. Careful,careful, Vicki. Oh, dear, dear. This business. There we are. Now, comeon bring him in. Bring him in there. Gently and carefully. That's it.That's it. Put him on the couch. [ODYSSEUS] Stand still, old man, or you die. I claim your machine aspart of my share. [DOCTOR] Share of what? [ODYSSEUS] The spoils of war! [DOCTOR] Now you stand back. I've gone far enough with you, my LordOdysseus. You go adventuring on your own. Be off with you. [ODYSSEUS] Seize it! Come on, move! Quickly! A cart! [ODYSSEUS] Doctor! [ODYSSEUS] Zeus! I wonder, were you really Zeus after all? --------------------------------------- (Outside Troy) [TROILUS] Cressida, Cressida, could you havebetrayed us? Cressida! [VICKI] I came to find you. [TROILUS] Cressida, what are you doing here? Where's Diomede? [VICKI] He's gone with another friend that you never met. [TROILUS] Back to Greece. [VICKI] No, to where I came from. You see, he wasn't really a Greek. He.Oh, Troilus you're hurt! [TROILUS] Just a bit. [VICKI] Oh, let me look. [TROILUS] No, I'll be all right. Look, Cressida, I don't understand. [VICKI] I, I don't suppose you ever will. That doesn't matter so long asyou trust me. [TROILUS] Trust you? After all [VICKI] I didn't betray you. That's why I stayed behind. I wanted you toknow that I didn't. The main thing is I belong here now with you. Ifyou'll have me. [TROILUS] Cressida, look what's happened. [VICKI] There's only us now. [TROILUS] What do you mean? [VICKI] I'll explain someday. I'm sorry. [TROILUS] But, but there's nowhere to go. [VICKI] We'll find somewhere. [TROILUS] Oh, Cressida. Cressida, look! [VICKI] Be careful. They may be Greeks. [TROILUS] It's my cousin! [VICKI] Cousin? [TROILUS] Yes, Aeneas. Oh, if only he'd come sooner. [VICKI] That's it. [TROILUS] What? [VICKI] He'll help us. [TROILUS] But, there's, there's nothing left. [VICKI] Yes, there is. There's us. We can start again. With yourcousin's help we can, we can build another Troy. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] That's not good. That's not good at all. We must get help. [KATARINA] What help is there in limbo? [DOCTOR] What's that, my dear? [STEVEN] Vicki [DOCTOR] No, no, no, no, no. Keep calm, keep calm. [STEVEN] Is she all right? [DOCTOR] Yes, yes. She's all right. Yes, yes. [STEVEN] What's she doing over there? [DOCTOR] No, no, no. That's not Vicki. That's not Vicki. Now keep calm. [STEVEN] Not Vicki? [DOCTOR] Be quiet! [STEVEN] Where is she? The Trojans will kill her. You came too soon. [DOCTOR] She's all right. She's all right. She wanted to stay. [STEVEN] The Greeks. The Greeks, the Trojans. [DOCTOR] Keep still. [STEVEN] Vicki. [DOCTOR] She's all right. I know she is. She's gone to find Troilus andshe'll be quite all right. This is just what she wanted. Now calm down.Yes, quiet, quiet. [STEVEN] Oh, Vicki. Vicki. [DOCTOR] Oh, you'll have to look after that young man. I think he hascalmed down. [KATARINA] Strange god, you bring me peace. [DOCTOR] No, I don't know what Vicki has advised you, but [KATARINA] Oh, the Priestess Cressida told me all would be well and Iknew it was to come. [DOCTOR] What was to come my dear? [KATARINA] That I was to die. [DOCTOR] My dear child, you're not dead. That's nonsense. [KATARINA] This is not Troy. This is not even the world. This is thejourney through the beyond. [DOCTOR] Well, as you wish. [KATARINA] Thank you. [DOCTOR] Yes, yes, yes, as you wish, my child. Now, I want you to keepan eye on that youngman. Will you? [KATARINA] Yes, great god. [DOCTOR] His name is Steven. And remember Katarina, you must call meDoctor. [KATARINA] Oh, as you wish Doc. [DOCTOR] I'm not a Doc. I am not a god. Oh, my dear Vicki, I hope you'llbe all right. I shall miss you child. Oh, yes, now. Those drugs, thosedrugs. What am I going to do? I must stop somewhere. But, how? I've gotto! Yes! I must! I must!

Oh dear, dear, dear.It is such a worry. This poison seems to be spreading throughout thewhole of his system. Yes, we need a special drug. I shall have to landsomewhere. [KATARINA] What is that? [DOCTOR] Oh, we're slowing down, my dear. We're going to land in amoment. [KATARINA] Can we have reached the place of perfection so soon? [DOCTOR] Ah, well, I rather doubt it. At least, that is, we shall bestopping at a lot of places before that. Now, I want you to look afterSteven, if you will, and see that you keep that wound clean. Please?That's a good girl. --------------------------------------- (Kembel - Jungle clearing) [BRET] Five Zero Alpha to Charlo Charlo Egan, Five Zero Alpha to CharloCharlo Egan, come in! Charlo Charlo Egan, this is Five Zero Alpha, canyou read me? Come in! [BRET] Nothing! When we get back to Earth, I'll have every fool in CCEcourt-martialed! [KURT] If we get back to earth. If Central Communications has gone deadon us, we haven't a hope! [BRET] We're not dead yet. [KURT] Don't fool yourself. They're out there looking for us right now.They'll find us, and then [BRET] All right, all right, they may well find us, but we've got to getthrough to Earth first or the whole solar system is finished. [KURT] I know. I know. Try them again. [BRET] Five Zero Alpha to Charlo Charlo Egan, come in. Five Zero Alphato Charlo Charlo Egan, come in! --------------------------------------- (Earth - Central Communications) [ROALD] So it's checkmate, isn't it? I want to see the Venus-Mars games.You want to see your hero,Mavic Chen. [LIZAN] (a woman) I just happen to admire him, that's all. Well, I'mgoing to do some work now, even if you aren't. [ROALD] I tell you what. If we tune into Channel 403, we'll get thenews. That should cover both our requirements. Agreed? [LIZAN] Ah, but we may only get a report of what Mavic Chen said, notactually see him. [ROALD] That's hardly likely. The Guardian of the Solar System is goingaway on holiday. He will, no doubt, say a few well-chosen words. Everywell-chosen word will no doubt be transmitted. [LIZAN] And what about the routine calls? [ROALD] Oh, you worry too much. The next one's Five Zero Alpha. [LIZAN] Five Zero Alpha? [ROALD] It's not for another twenty minutes. Well, what about 403? [LIZAN] Bring up 403 please. Five Zero Alpha? Is that the patrol outlooking for Marc Cory? [ROALD] Yes, the agent who disappeared near the planet Kembel. Probablycrashed, so they think. Hey, bring up the sound! It's Mavic Chen onholiday. [CHEN [OC]] Yes. The mineral agreement with the fourth galaxy proved alittle more complicated than was at first expected. [INTERVIEWER [OC]] And as that has been concluded so successfully, I'msure that no one will begrudge you little time off. Where are you goingto on this trip? [CHEN [OC]] That I am keeping a secret. I hope to be able to get awayfrom all interviewers. I'm just going to climb aboard my Spar and driftabout the solar system. [LIZAN] Drifting round the solar system! That's the life if you can getit. [ROALD] Well, become a galactic politician and who knows? Maybe one dayyou will. As far as I'm concerned, give me terra firma any day. [LIZAN] You are in a rut, my friend. Now if I had the latest Flip T-4, I [ROALD] It's a trifle brash, isn't it? There are other space vessels,you know. [LIZAN] You mean the Spar 740? [ROALD] Yes. If I had to travel around ultra-space, I'd think the 740.Elegance, plus ultimate technology. [LIZAN] It hasn't got the speed. [ROALD] Speed isn't everything. [INTERVIEWER [OC]] Is there anything you would like to say to thecitizens before you depart? [CHEN [OC]] Yes. It is my earnest hope that the solar system maycontinue along this path of peace, this path that was laid by thesigning of the non-aggression pact of 3975. Now, in this year of 4000,we can feel justly proud of that pact. May the past twenty five yearsprove that they are the dawn of an everlasting peace which will spreadthroughout the universe. Let us go forward together, secure in theknowledge that the life ahead is built on the cornerstone of richerunderstanding, not only of the past or of the present, but also of thefuture. And may it be this cornerstone, so firmly laid, be built uponin brotherhood and bring peace, progress and prosperity to each andevery one of us. [INTERVIEWER [OC]] Thank you sir. I'm sure that all throughout oursystem echo your thoughts. [LIZAN] Even you must agree he's an impressive man. [ROALD] Yes, it's nice to hear his speech again. [LIZAN] Cynic. [LIZAN] Was that a flash? [ROALD] Where? There's nothing coming through. [LIZAN] I thought I saw one. [ROALD] You're imagining things. [LIZAN] Okay, so I'm imagining things. --------------------------------------- (Kembel - Jungle clearing) [KURT] They are out there, I know it. And they're getting closer. [BRET] You're imagining things. Now shut up. [KURT] Do you think I'm a fool? There's something out there and it'sclose. [BRET] Look, I tell you [KURT] Just listen. There. [BRET] Shh! [KURT] You heard it? [BRET] Yes. Come on, we've got to get out of here. [KURT] I stay. [BRET] What? But you know we can't fight them. Our weapons are uselessagainst those things. Now we must move out. [KURT] How can I keep on the move with this? Have you got any morebright ideas? All that will happen is I'll hit one of those spikedplants. I nearly fell on one before. [BRET] We won't go fast, just keep moving. I'll make sure we avoid theVarga plants. [KURT] If I fall and hit one, you know what happens then. [BRET] Don't be a fool! [KURT] That could be what happened to Cory. He tripped, pricked himselfon a thorn, and then he turned into one. [BRET] You're letting your imagination run riot again. Besides, wehaven't seen any Varga that look like him. [KURT] Joke away, but you know I'm right. There's been no trace of MarcCory anywhere. [BRET] Perhaps they took him prisoner. [KURT] You know they don't take prisoners. [BRET] All the more reason for you to come with me. Now come on. [KURT] This is no time for phony heroics. I'll just slow you down, andthen we'll both get it. Now without me you've got a chance. It's not agood one, but it's a chance. Just stay alive and get that messagethrough. [BRET] I'm not going without you, is that clear? [KURT] Get out! Get out of here or I'll kill you now! [KURT] Bret. Good luck. [KURT] All right, I'm ready for you now. [KURT] Where the devil are you? Come on! [DALEK 2] One man remains. Find and destroy him! [DALEK 1] I obey! [KATARINA] Strange place. Can you find help here? [DOCTOR] I don't know my dear, but I must try. Now, I want you to stayhere and look after Steven. I shall be as quick as I can. [KATARINA] I'll do as you ask. [DOCTOR] Splendid. Now you know which switch to pull to close the doors,don't you, so I want you to do that straight away. I have my key to letmyself in. [KATARINA] Key? [DOCTOR] Yes. This, child. Key. This opens the door from the outside.Now go in please, and shut the door. Charming. --------------------------------------- (Outside the Tardis) (Kembel - Jungle) [DOCTOR] Ah. A city or perhaps a town. I wonder where we are? All I haveto do is get through that jungle and perhaps then I can get some help.I must say it's a strange place to put a city. [BRET] Keep absolutely still. [DOCTOR] What is it you want? [BRET] The key. [DOCTOR] What key? [BRET] Give me that key or I'll kill you. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [KATARINA] The Doctor will return very soon. He will get help. [STEVEN] Where are we? [KATARINA] On our way through the underworld. [STEVEN] What? Look, I don't understand. Vicki. Troy. Oh. You helped mewhen that Trojan [KATARINA] Deep calm. You must rest. [STEVEN] Did the Doctor bring you on board? [KATARINA] Yes. We all make the journey together. [STEVEN] Who are you? [KATARINA] Katarina. I served as handmaid to the High PriestessCassandra. But you must rest. The Doctor will bring help. Don't ask anymore questions. [STEVEN] I, I want. [KATARINA] Did the Doctor sent you? [BRET] That's right. The old man sent me. [KATARINA] Have you bought help? [BRET] This is fantastic. You, what's your name? [KATARINA] Katarina. Did the Doctor send you to cure the sickness? [BRET] Yes, but we must shut the doors first. The old man said you knewthe switch. [KATARINA] Yes, here. [BRET] What sort of craft is this? I've seen most, but nothing likethis. From the outside it looked so small. How do you work this thing? [KATARINA] Only the Doctor works his temple. [BRET] His what? [KATARINA] You must help Steven. [BRET] Yes, yes, of course I'll help Steven, but we must get back toEarth first. I explained this to the old man, the, er, Doctor. [KATARINA] We can't go back to Earth, we've left it. [BRET] That means we can get back? [BRET] Katarina, are you sure you don't know how to work this? [KATARINA] How could I know? It belongs to the Doctor. [BRET] The old man said this was no ordinary ship, and he was right. --------------------------------------- (Outside the Tardis) [DOCTOR] So, you'd use physical violence, would you? You don't know whatyou've let yourself in for. So you've left the key in the door! Well,well, that's the first big mistake, isn't it? Yes, very foolish. Veryfoolish indeed, young man. Well now, it's brain, or brawn rather,versus brain? I've got you beaten from the start, young man! --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [KATARINA] Steven? --------------------------------------- (Outside the Tardis) [DOCTOR] I wonder if that spaceship has anything to do with that violentyoung man, or any connection with that city below. Yes, there are oneor two questions I must have answered. --------------------------------------- (Reception hall) [DALEK 2] Control reports space vessel 1-11 in landing circuit. [BLACK] Is all prepared? [DALEK 2] Everything is ready. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] (chuckles) I doubt that you'll be able to get out of there in ahurry, my friend. [BRET] What is it? [DOCTOR] Oh, it's a little invention of mine, I call it the magneticchair. It has a forcefield strong enough to restrain a herd ofelephants, so I wouldn't waste your energy trying to escape. You willstay there until I direct otherwise. [DOCTOR] How is he, my dear? [KATARINA] He's asleep. [DOCTOR] Yes. Oh, by the way, I've found a city. And just as I was aboutto ascertain it's locale, that young ruffian set about me. [KATARINA] Can you get help for Steven? [DOCTOR] Oh yes, I hope so. Just a minute. That young man, did he sayanything? [KATARINA] No. [DOCTOR] That's strange. Yes, I shall have to cross-examine him when Iget back. But don't worry, he's quite safe. Our guest is quite unableto move until I press that little switch at the back. So you're quitesafe. Yes, he's quite harmless. Oh, and quite comfortable, I hope? --------------------------------------- (Kembel - Jungle) [DOCTOR] Well, I wonder. Is this the solar system? [DOCTOR] It's very strange. [DOCTOR] Yes, strange indeed. Well. --------------------------------------- (Reception hall) [DALEK 2] Space vessel 1-11 touch down completed. [BLACK] Excellent. I will await our guest here. [DOCTOR] Daleks! --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [BRET] What's the matter with him? I said, what's the matter with him? [KATARINA] He's sick. The Doctor says he's poisoned in the blood. [BRET] There are some tablets in the pouch of my belt. Give him two. [KATARINA] But you're an enemy. The Doctor's gone to get help. [BRET] He won't find any on this planet, believe me, so why not try thetablets? I hate to see anyone die through stupidity. [KATARINA] I do not understand you. [BRET] For heaven's sake, girl, take the tablets and give them to him! [KATARINA] All right. [BRET] Now you're showing some sense. [KATARINA] Here? [BRET] Yes. It's all right. I won't harm you. This chair of the Doctor'sseems to be everything he claimed. All right. The tablets are in thattube. [KATARINA] Are these tablets? [BRET] What do they look like? Take two and put them in his mouth. Theydissolve quickly and take effect almost immediately. Praise be thatyou're not nursing me! It's all right. He'll be all right now. You canleave him alone. [KATARINA] If you're wrong, the Doctor will be angry. I've disobeyedhim. [BRET] If Steven, or whatever his name is, recovers, you'll be forgiven.and if the Doctor gets back here soon. --------------------------------------- (Reception hall) [DALEK 2] Our new ally approaches! [BLACK] We welcome you as we welcome all allies of the Daleks. [CHEN] I am honoured to be here, and to be part of your plan to conquerEarth and all the planets in the solar system. --------------------------------------- (Outside the Tardis) (Outside the Tardis) [DALEK 1] Inform base security that a furtherintruder craft has been located. [DALEK 2] I obey. [DALEK 1] Security patrols five and seven will converge on this area.Priority alert. Invaders to be located and destroyed. [DALEK 1] A message from the Dalek Supreme. Operation Inferno to be putinto execution at once. [DALEK 2] Inform all units. Evacuate patrols to safety areas. Confirmwith units in position. On confirmation, start abbreviated countdownfor Operation Inferno. --------------------------------------- (Conference room) [ZEPHON] Mavic Chen, Guardian of the Solar System? [CHEN] Yes? [ZEPHON] I am Zephon, Master of the Fifth Galaxy. [CHEN] Of course. I had hoped to meet you once before, at theIntergalactic Conference of Andromeda. [ZEPHON] I did not attend, and now you know the reason. The Daleks helda separate council at the same time. None of us of the outer galaxieswent to yours. [CHEN] Except Trantis. [ZEPHON] We agreed to send a delegate in order that the conferenceshould not become suspicious. [CHEN] I've been reading the reports on the previous meetings here. TheDaleks have evolved a most interesting plan. [ZEPHON] We of the outer galaxies have contributed to it also. [CHEN] Of course. But you must admit the Daleks have a genius for war. [ZEPHON] That is so. However, one thing surprises me. That you, Guardianof the Solar System, have agreed to become one of us. [CHEN] Why the surprise? As you say, I am Guardian of the Solar System.But that is nothing more than a part, however influential, of onegalaxy. Would you be satisfied with just a part of a galaxy? [ZEPHON] The solar system is exceptional. In its power lies influencesfar outside its own sphere. Surely by joining with the forcesdetermined to destroy that power, you mark yourself up as a supremetraitor? [CHEN] Traitor? (laughs) An archaic word for so advanced a man asyourself. Considering that the planet Fisar and the Embodiment Grishave both, at different times, tried to depose you, do you stillmaintain that you're the mouthpiece for your own galaxy? [ZEPHON] I do, now that I am all-powerful with my position. [CHEN] True. But then you do not understand the conflicting powerswithin our solar system. Now let us go and take some air. This ishardly the time or the place for so serious a discussion. [ZEPHON] But first we must [CHEN] Some air. --------------------------------------- (City) [BLACK] Report. [DALEK 1] Guardian of the Solar System Chen must be watched. Hisambitions exceed his usefulness. [BLACK] When he has served his purpose, he, like the others, will beeliminated. No power in this universe can stop the Daleks. --------------------------------------- (Kembel - Jungle) [STEVEN] Where's the Doctor? [KATARINA] He will be here soon. [STEVEN] I don't understand. Where are we? I can't think straight. [KATARINA] You must rest. The tablets I gave you have made you better,but you must still rest. [STEVEN] Tablets? What's going on here? What are we doing out here inthe jungle? [KATARINA] We had to leave the temple. The Tardis. The evil ones came. [STEVEN] Evil ones? [KATARINA] He called them the Daleks? [STEVEN] Daleks! [DOCTOR] Katarina! [KATARINA] My lord. [DOCTOR] Doctor. Doctor. What are you both doing here? [KATARINA] The evil ones searched for us but Bret helped us. He saidthey were evil. [DOCTOR] Yes, well, whoever this Bret is, he's quite right. The Daleksare evil things. [KATARINA] Bret is the man you put in your magic chair. [DOCTOR] What? That young ruffian? [KATARINA] But he helped us. [DOCTOR] And you released him? [KATARINA] Was I not right to do so? When the evil ones came he said wehad to flee from your temple. [DOCTOR] Girl, my Tardis, child, my Tardis. Yes, you were right. I mean,he wasn't to know that you were quite safe away from the Daleks inthere. How is this young man? [STEVEN] I'll be all right in a minute or two, thanks, Doc. [DOCTOR] Good, good, good. [KATARINA] Bret says the time is four thousand, and he came here andonly just got away from the evil ones. He gave Steven some whitetablets, and he's almost well again. [DOCTOR] I see, I see. Yes, and I clamped him in that chair, and he'sthe very fellow with the antitoxin. Well, young man, you'd better pullyourself together. We've got some work to do. [DALEK 1] Operate pyro-flames! [DALEKS 2 + 3] We obey! [DOCTOR] Aren't you feeling better? [STEVEN] Look, Doctor, I think I can manage on my own. [DOCTOR] Carefully, carefully. Now, just rest for a minute. Take a fewdeep breaths. Don't you try to run before you can walk, although youmight have to. Oh, it's Bret, isn't it? Yes, thank you. Tell me what'shappening? [BRET] It's the Daleks, they're using flame guns. I think they're goingto burn down the jungle. [DOCTOR] Good gracious me. We must try to get back to the Tardis. We'rein grave danger here. [STEVEN] Doctor, don't you see? It's a trap. That's exactly what theywant us to do. [DOCTOR] Yes, yes, yes, possibly, possibly. [STEVEN] We can't act without thinking. [DOCTOR] I never do and never shall. [STEVEN] You were all set to go straight back to the Tardis. [KATARINA] He said we should never have left it. [DOCTOR] Yes, you're quite right, my dear. It's the safest place. [STEVEN] Oh, yes. If the Daleks are waiting outside for us, it will besuicide. [DOCTOR] Oh, not necessarily, not. [STEVEN] Who's going to play the scapegoat? [KATARINA] Supposing Steven were right? [DOCTOR] Well, in this instance, child, he might be, but I know theDaleks. [STEVEN] So do I, Doctor. Look, I say we should stay here until we knowexactly what they're going to do. [DOCTOR] They could track us down at any time. [STEVEN] We'd hear them. I mean, the Mechanoids [DOCTOR] Oh, they were robots. [STEVEN] So what? [DOCTOR] These are Daleks. Now you listen to me, young man, I am incharge of this situation. [BRET] Sir! Will you shut up! At least that's stopped you arguing. [DOCTOR] Well upon my soul. [BRET] Now, look here, I don't care what happens to you, but I have gotto warn Earth. [DOCTOR] Yes, and you will have to do far more than that. If the Daleksare doing something drastic, then we have to stop the Daleks. Now willyou shut up, sir? [BRET] One, learn the Dalek plans. [DOCTOR] We know, young man. [BRET] And two, get the information back to Earth. [DOCTOR] Now just listen, listen, listen. Think back for a moment. Justthink back. If the Daleks were going to attack Earth, as you seem tofear, then you must tell Earth to look back in the history of the year2157, and that the Daleks are going to attack again. History will showhow to deal with them. [BRET] Who cares about history? [DOCTOR] Now listen [STEVEN] I can smell smoke. Yes, look! [DOCTOR] Yes, yes, you're quite right, young man. They're going to trapus. [KATARINA] Doctor, it's like the wall of fire. [DOCTOR] Oh, no, no, no. Not quite, not quite, my dear. We've got to getout of here. Come on. This way. [BRET] What? That's the way to the Dalek city. [DOCTOR] But of course. That's the last place they will expect us to go.Come along. --------------------------------------- (Reception area) [CHEN] The magnificent power of the flame. Primitive but efficient. [ZEPHON] You, too, would have used ultrasonics? [CHEN] If I had nothing better. The meeting must start soon. [ZEPHON] You appear so keen to be a model delegate one might think youare afraid of the Daleks. [CHEN] A dangerous statement. Remember where you are. [ZEPHON] Ha! The solar system is so far behind that it believes theDaleks need to eavesdrop? [CHEN] Of course not. [ZEPHON] The Daleks needed me. Without my help, they would never havegot the co-operation of the masters of Celation and Beaus. We are onequal terms. [CHEN] Really? Three galaxies for the price of one. [ZEPHON] I do not understand you. [CHEN] Perhaps I'm the one of those who knows my place. Are you comingin to take your seat? [ZEPHON] They will not start the meeting without me. I feel like waitinghere. --------------------------------------- (Conference room) [DALEK] Zephon. [BLACK] It was expected. His usefulness is over. --------------------------------------- (City wall) [BRET] Look at that. [STEVEN] Just look at those ships. Beautiful, aren't they? [BRET] That one in the middle. That's from Earth. That's Mavic Chen's. [DOCTOR] You know that spaceship? [BRET] Yes, I do. It belongs to the Guardian of the Solar System. [DOCTOR] Oh, then you'll know how to fly it? [BRET] Yes, of course I do, but that's [DOCTOR] Well, that's the one to go for, isn't it? [BRET] I can't believe it. It doesn't make sense. [STEVEN] If you know how to use it, what's the worry? [BRET] He's the Guardian. Don't you understand? [STEVEN] So what? We don't want him, just his ship. [BRET] He's the ultimate head of the solar system. Now what's he doinghere with the Daleks? [STEVEN] That's what we'll have to find out, isn't it? [DOCTOR] Will you both be quiet, please! We're going to take thatspaceship if we're going to warn Earth. [STEVEN] Look out. --------------------------------------- (Conference room) [BLACK] Where is the Master of Zephon? [CHEN] He will be here. Eventually. [BLACK] Search for him! --------------------------------------- (Outside the Dalek City) [STEVEN] What is it? I've never seen anything like this. It's hideous. [DOCTOR] Well, obvious or not, my boy, it's quite obvious he's one ofthe representatives. [STEVEN] It's a good job we managed to find these vines. [BRET] Now we can get to the ship. [DOCTOR] No, no. Not yet, not yet. Not until we find out exactly whatthe Daleks are planning, and this may be our only chance. [BRET] I don't understand. [DOCTOR] I'm going to that conference. [STEVEN] Doctor, that's crazy. You can't go to their conference. [DOCTOR] Why not? If I wear his cloak, why not? [STEVEN] Should they find you, they'll kill you. [DOCTOR] Oh, nonsense. You three can take over the spaceship, and I canjoin you later. [KATARINA] Are you sure you will be safe? [DOCTOR] Oh yes, now don't worry, my child, don't worry. [DOCTOR] I found this, and I don't know whether it's relevant or not,but hold onto it safely. [BRET] Where did you find it? [DOCTOR] Oh, in the jungle. Now I want you, I want you to give me enoughtime to get to that meeting and find out exactly what's going on. ThenI will head back to Chen's spaceship. [BRET] And how long will that take? [DOCTOR] Well, I must leave that to your own judgment. If, of course,you hear any kind of uproar, well then you'll have to get into thespaceship and go off without me. [BRET] Doctor, we can't leave you. [DOCTOR] Oh, nonsense, nonsense. Earth must be warned about the Daleksand about Chen. [BRET] You are a very brave man. [DOCTOR] Rubbish. Rubbish, my boy. I'm only doing what has to be done.Now come on, help me on with this cloak. Be quick about it. Come along. --------------------------------------- (City corridor) [DALEK 1] Has the representative Zephon passed this way? [DALEK 2] He and the Earth creature went to the reception area. [DALEK 1] Has he returned? [DALEK 2] Only the creature from Earth returned this way. [DALEK 1] Zephon must still be there. Come with me. He has to be found. --------------------------------------- (Outside the City) [DALEK 1] Representative Zephon? The meeting is about to begin. You willfollow me. [BRET] The old man certainly has got nerve. [KATARINA] The strange ones will not hurt him? [STEVEN] I hope not. Anyway, he's doing his part, we must do ours. Let'sget that ship. --------------------------------------- (Conference room) [TRANTIS] (with pointed teeth) The master of the Fifth Galaxy has seenfit to join us? [BLACK] Take your place. [CHEN] You seem lost, representative Zephon. Here's your place, next tome. [BLACK] This seventh meeting is now in session. Representatives, I haveimportant news. The time destructor is now completed. It only requiresthe core to be fitted. [BLACK] Mavic Chen, Guardian of the Solar System, will address themeeting. [CHEN] As your most recent ally, and the newest member to stand in thisgreat universal council, I am delighted to be able to make sosignificant a contribution to our conquest of the universe. I nowpresent you with the core of the time destructor. A full emm oftaranium, the rarest mineral in the universe. It's taken fifty Earthyears to acquire even this amount. [TRANTIS] If it has taken so long for the solar system to acquire it,why was not one of us of the outer galaxies asked to provide it? [CHEN] As the Daleks know, taranium can only be found on one of the deadplanets of the solar system. Without this, the time destructor isuseless. All the plans made here could not succeed. I, Mavic Chen, giveyou the core of the time destructor. --------------------------------------- (Spar ship) [BRET] I'm taking over this spaceship. Over there. Tie them up. [KATARINA] The men will not be found? [STEVEN] No, not unless the Daleks patrol the landing area. [BRET] That's the one place they won't be patrolling. [STEVEN] Let's hope not, otherwise it's the end of the Doctor. [KATARINA] He must come. he must come. --------------------------------------- (Conference room) [DALEK 1] Locate intruders! Locate intruders! [CHEN] What's happening? [DALEK 2] Seal off the area. [DALEK 3] Check alarm location. [DALEK 4] Report! Alarm! Report! [ZEPHON] That's him! Stop him! Stop the creature! Stop the creature! --------------------------------------- (Spar ship) [BRET] We've got to go. [STEVEN] We mustn't leave him! [KATARINA] (praying) Great One, don't leave us. Don't let the strangebeings catch you. [BRET] He's been caught. We've got to leave. [STEVEN] No. [BRET] He said we had to leave. [STEVEN] No! [KATARINA] Stop! Without him, we can't reach the place of perfection. [BRET] We won't. We're going without him. --------------------------------------- (Spar ship) [BRET] We're going into countdown. [STEVEN] That light! [BRET] It's the outer door! It's not fully shut. Quick, or we'll all besucked out! [STEVEN] Hold countdown! It's the Doctor! [DOCTOR] Get us off, Bret! Get us off! Get us off! Take off, man. [BRET] Stand by, everyone. Take off! [DOCTOR] That was rather violent acceleration, young man. --------------------------------------- (Dalek Control room) [DALEK 1] Altitude 5 sections. Speed 3000. [DALEK 2] Vessel attained gravitational escape velocity. [BLACK] Cut in automatic trackers. [DALEK 2] All is ready for their space extinction. [BLACK] Do not destroy! That vessel must not be destroyed. [DALEK 1] Trackers operating. [BLACK] Prepare Neutronic Randomiser. [DALEK 1] Stand by Randomiser. [BLACK] The intruders must be caught alive. --------------------------------------- (Spar ship) [DOCTOR] Well done, Bret, Well done. You got us off very well. [BRET] Thanks. I thought you weren't going to make it. [DOCTOR] Of course I was. You're far too pessimistic. Now, where's thatlittle box of mine? [STEVEN] This one? [DOCTOR] Yes. Ah, splendid, splendid. The Daleks' plans are utterlyuseless without this. [STEVEN] Why? what did you find out at the Council meeting? [DOCTOR] They've allied themselves with the rulers of the outer galaxiesto take over the Universe. [BRET] Universe? [DOCTOR] Yes, their first objective being Earth and then the solarsystem. [STEVEN] Then we've got to warn Earth and fast! [BRET] But what about Mavic Chen? [DOCTOR] Oh, he's one of them, my friend. By sacrificing the SolarSystem, he hopes to gain more power. [BRET] That's impossible! [DOCTOR] Oh no it isn't, no it isn't! Therefore we must get to Earthbefore him. [KATARINA] But how can we return to Earth? We've already left it. [DOCTOR] Yes, I know, my dear, but this is not Earth as we see it.Effectively it's something very different. [BRET] What's the matter with this girl? I mean where's she from? [STEVEN] Oh it's all right. She helped us in Troy. She doesn't reallyunderstand. [BRET] Troy? [STEVEN] Yes. Well come on, Doctor, what's so special about that box? [DOCTOR] Well, as I said before my boy, the Daleks' plans are utterlyuseless without this. [STEVEN] Then we've won! [DOCTOR] Tut, tut, tut. Don't open it, please. [STEVEN] Why not? [DOCTOR] It will burn your eyes. You'll go totally blind! That is a fullemm of taranium. [BRET] What? [DOCTOR] Taranium. [BRET] That can only be found on the planet Uranus. A full measure wouldtake years to mine! [DOCTOR] Fifty years, to be precise, and Mavic Chen has given this tothe Daleks to complete one of the most evil weapons ever devised. TheirTime Destructor. --------------------------------------- (Conference room) [BLACK] Representative Zephon! You deny that yournegligence caused the loss of the taranium core? [ZEPHON] Had the Daleks made full security arrangements, the invaderswould not have reached the city. [CHEN] Had the Master of the Fifth Galaxy been less arrogant, he wouldhave gone with me to the meeting. Instead he preferred to keep us allwaiting. [ZEPHON] I believe the intruders came from the Solar System. [CHEN] Did you see them? [ZEPHON] No. [CHEN] Did they speak and tell you so? [ZEPHON] No. [CHEN] Then your accusation is preposterous. [ZEPHON] How is it the intruders knew that the taranium was here andthat it was to be handed over, if they did not come from the SolarSystem? None of the others knew what was that Representative Mavic Chenwas bringing here. [BLACK] Have you nothing to say? [CHEN] This is absurd. Why should I arrange that fifty years be spentsecretly mining to acquire this mineral only to have it stolen? [ZEPHON] The quest for power. Perhaps you wanted to use the core foryourself! [CHEN] How? Only the Daleks know how to assemble the Time Destructor. Ionly provided the vital ingredient of the core. [ZEPHON] I didn't know about the core. How could I? [BLACK] You knew about the intruders. [ZEPHON] We all did. You were going to deal with them, or so you said. [BLACK] Silence! It is agreed that you are guilty of negligence. [ZEPHON] If I go, the Masters of Celation and Beaus go with me. [BLACK] You threaten our unity. [ZEPHON] I have nothing to say. I will leave now. [BLACK] Execute! --------------------------------------- (Dalek control room) [BLACK] Where is the ship? [DALEK] Course 707. It is approaching the influence of the planetDesperus. [BLACK] Prepare pursuit ships. Stand by Randomiser. --------------------------------------- (Spar ship) [STEVEN] That is taranium. [DOCTOR] Yes, the rarest mineral in the universe. [STEVEN] Funny. It makes your eyes feel strange even with these on. It'slike looking into the sun for too long. [DOCTOR] Oh, don't complain, young man. You're a very privileged person.Do you realise very few people have seen this in this universe. [STEVEN] All right, Doctor. But now that we've got it what are we goingto do with it? [DOCTOR] Well, for the moment, nothing. [STEVEN] That doesn't make sense. I mean, you said yourself that theDaleks have the most dangerous weapon ever devised. [DOCTOR] We have the taranium, so for the moment we do nothing. And bydoing nothing, we do everything. Do I make myself clear? [STEVEN] Come off it, Doctor. What's all that supposed to mean? [DOCTOR] Oh my dear young man, you ask so many questions. Look atKatarina over there. She doesn't ask questions, she just looks andlearns. Now, why don't you try the same thing? You know I find all thisextremely fascinating. It's a little primitive of course, but it'sstill very fascinating. [STEVEN] Look Doctor, I'm sorry, but can't we do anything? [DOCTOR] Yes. Bret, can you find me something to play magnetic tape? [BRET] Yes, Doctor. Here. [DOCTOR] Well my dear fellow, that's magnificent. It's all soconvenient, isn't it. I'll play that tape that I gave you before I wentto the Daleks' conference? [STEVEN] What tape's that? [DOCTOR] Oh, I found a small tape beside a skeleton and it might be ableto tell us something. Katarina! Come over here, my child. Now, have alook at another wonder. [KATARINA] Everything is so strange. This isn't like your Tardis. [DOCTOR] No, my dear, no. [STEVEN] Yes, but Doctor, surely, I mean, the Daleks aren't going toleave a tape around with their plans on it? [DOCTOR] No, no, no. Bret here was searching for someone and theskeleton I found was humanoid. Well, whoever it was may learnedsomething that we haven't. [BRET] Marc Cory! You found him? Well, Kurt and I searched that junglebut we could find no trace. [DOCTOR] Well, did you search that pairing twice? [BRET] How do you mean? [DOCTOR] Well, it so happens that kind of jungle is apt to lead you backto the same place more than once. [BRET] Yes but we were methodical or as methodical as the Daleks. [DOCTOR] Oh yes no doubt you were and I suppose I was lucky. Now playthe tape. Come along, come along, stop all this talking. [CORY [OC]] This is Marc Cory, Special Security Agent, reporting fromthe planet Kembel. [BRET] You were right. [CORY [OC]] The Daleks are planning the complete destruction of theGalaxy. Together with the powers of the outer galaxies, a war force isbeing assembled and [STEVEN] That's all? [BRET] Poor Marc. He never got through. [DOCTOR] But we must. The Daleks will stop at anything to prevent us. --------------------------------------- (Dalek Control room) [DALEK] Ship now at closest point to planet Desperus. [BLACK] Operate Randomiser! --------------------------------------- (Spar ship) [DOCTOR] Yes, yes, you must find someone who you can trust. Someone in ahigh enough position that may be able to help. [BRET] Well, Karlton is the man in charge of all Space Security, buthe's very close to Chen. [STEVEN] Yes, this chap Karlton, he may be part of the plan with theDaleks. [BRET] It's possible. [KATARINA] What's happening? [DOCTOR] We're changing course. [BRET] The steering boosters won't fire. I can't get her round. [STEVEN] Switch to manual control! [BRET] I can't. We're picking up speed. [DOCTOR] You know I believe we're approaching the gravitation point ofthat planet. [BRET] Desperus! [DOCTOR] Has it any kind of atmosphere? [BRET] Yes. But we can't get off there, we'll never be able to get offagain. [STEVEN] Why not? What's wrong with it? [BRET] Desperus is the penal planet of the Solar System. [DOCTOR] Well, if it's one of your prison planets, surely there areguards and warders there to help us. [BRET] They're aren't any. The only craft which stop there are prisonships bringing other criminals. If we crash there, we'll be left thereto rot for the rest of our lives away. [DOCTOR] You must try to land softly somewhere. [BRET] I can't! This vessel is out of my control! --------------------------------------- (Dalek Control room) [DALEK] Space vessel's instruments now randomised. [DALEK 2] On course for planet Desperus. Impact in point 6. Remotecontrol standing by. [BLACK] Cut in remote control. [DALEK] Now under Dalek control. [BLACK] Reduce descent velocity. Vessel must make soft landing. [DALEK] I obey. [BLACK] Pursuit ships to stand by. [CHEN] A highly effective operation. May I congratulate you? [BLACK] Dalek technology is the most advanced in the Universe. [CHEN] You still haven't recovered the taranium. [BLACK] We shall. It is strange that the intruders took your spacevessel. Perhaps they were indeed creatures from Earth. [CHEN] My Spar was the last to arrive here, so consequently was in thebest position to leave quickly. But to set your mind at rest, I willreturn to Earth now and if I find that the intruders do come fromthere, they will be dealt with quickly and without arousing anysuspicion. [BLACK] Very well. A vessel similar to your own craft will be put atyour disposal. [CHEN] I will return here as soon as all final preparations for the takeover are completed. [BLACK] All will be in readiness. [CHEN] Good. We don't want any more mistakes. --------------------------------------- (Spar ship) [STEVEN] We've shut right down. [BRET] We're going to be able to make a soft landing. I don't understandit. [DOCTOR] Yes, I'm afraid I do, only too well. [STEVEN] Daleks? Well, it's some sort of remote control, I suppose. We'dall better prepare for landing. [DOCTOR] You're quite right, my boy. [BRET] If it's the Daleks, it can only mean one thing. [DOCTOR] Yes, it means that they coming after us again. --------------------------------------- (Desperus) [BORS] It's mine again, and they stay where you are. [GARGE] With the soft life you lead, I'll be able to beat you one day. [BORS] Out on guard! [GARGE] Why is it always me? [BORS] I'm the leader. I have the knife. Do you want to argue about it? [BORS] And you can build up the fire. Kirksen, like the knife, wouldyou? Then you'd be leader. You could tell Garge what to do, like I do.You can tell me what to do! [KIRKSEN] I'll get it next time! [BORS] Who knows, perhaps you will. Now, get out and get the fuel. [KIRKSEN] Why don't you send one of them? [BORS] Get it! [BORS] I can hear it, now get out before one of the new lot come hereand take over our place. [GARGE] That's not a prison ship. It's strange. I haven't seen one likeit before. [BORS] Where's it landing? [GARGE] In the swamp by the look of things. [KIRKSEN] It's a strange ship. We can kill the crew and take over. [BORS] Possibly. [KIRKSEN] We can use it to get away. [BORS] It may be a crash landing. [KIRKSEN] But you can kill the crew with your knife. [BORS] Shut up! We'd better get over there right away. Others will haveseen it too. Now on your way! [KIRKSEN] What about me? If you're leaving this filthy planet so am I. --------------------------------------- (Spar ship) [DOCTOR] Now, you sure you've got spare parts for this? [BRET] Certain. It's safety regulations. [DOCTOR] It's the worse of these out-of-date and primitive spaceships.One little bump and they all fall to bits. [BRET] Doctor, what are you talking about? This is a Spar, the mosttechnically perfect craft in the history of space travel. [DOCTOR] Oh yes, quite so. That's why we are stranded on this pimple ofa planet, whilst you footle with that fuse box. [STEVEN] Oh, come on, Doctor. The Tardis isn't exactly perfect is it? Imean, you can't even control where's we're going. [DOCTOR] Now, you listen to me, young man. Don't you start to criticisemy Tardis. And as for space travel, you're still wet behind the ears.Oh, do get on with it both of you. [BRET] What's the matter with Grandpa? [STEVEN] Oh, it's nothing, we all have our obsessions, don't we? Nowcome on, Do you think we're going to have enough drive force to liftoff here and get us back to Earth? [BRET] We've got to. Now, as the Doctor said, let's get on with it. [DOCTOR] What are you doing out here, child? I thought I told you tokeep these doors closed. [KATARINA] There are lights out there. [DOCTOR] Good gracious, so there are. Two. No, three. Yes, we must geton with the repairs to the ship and get away from here. Yes, those menwill be vicious out there. We're liable to come under attack. That'smarshy ground. Very interesting. Very interesting. Interesting. --------------------------------------- (Dalek Control room) [DALEK] The exact location of the ship has beencalculated. [BLACK] Inform the pursuit fleet. [DALEK] I obey. [DALEK [OC]] Pursuit Fleet Commander calling control. We will land onplanet Desperus at one hundred. [BLACK] When the taranium is recovered, the fugitives are to beeliminated. Is that understood? [DALEK [OC]] I obey. --------------------------------------- (Desperus) [KIRKSEN] We were here first, let's go and get it. [GARGE] Keep quiet. This part of the swamp is tricky. We must put outthe torches. [KIRKSEN] What about the screamers? [BORS] Shut up and put out that light! They're only bats. [KIRKSEN] Bats! Bats with those wings and that big! [BORS] Oh, now follow us or go back to the cave. --------------------------------------- (Spar ship) [KATARINA] Doctor. Doctor! [STEVEN] Look, hold that reading steady, I think I can get this fixed. [BRET] Good. [KATARINA] Come on, Doctor. [DOCTOR] Oh, thank you, my dear. Where is your cactic power, rather,outlet? [BRET] What? [DOCTOR] Cactic outlet? [BRET] It's there. [DOCTOR] Where? [BRET] Under there. [DOCTOR] Oh, yes. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Come here, my dear.No, round this way, child. Now, do you see that switch? I'll tell youwhen to pull it. [KATARINA] What are you doing? [DOCTOR] Oh, don't ask questions, my dear girl, otherwise you'll becomelike the other two. Just do as you're told. [DOCTOR] Now then. That should repel any boarders. --------------------------------------- (Desperus) [BORS] It's there. We'll nearly there. [GARGE] How many do you think are on board? [BORS] How should I know? Difficult to say, with a ship of that size. [GARGE] At least we've got surprise on our side. Pity we lost Kirksen. [BORS] Fool's probably gone back to the cave, frightened by thescreamers. Better just the two of us. [GARGE] We've in the swamp now. [BORS] Yes, but go carefully. --------------------------------------- (Spar ship) [KATARINA] There. Doctor, something moved. [DOCTOR] Yes, I think you're right, my dear. Now you go in and stand bythat switch. Wait until I'll give you an order. [DOCTOR] Now! [STEVEN] What's going on? [BRET] What do you think you're playing at? [DOCTOR] Oh you two go back in there and get on with your repairs.Katarina and I are trying to repel any type of boarders. [BRET] But cactic power isn't strong enough to kill anyone. [DOCTOR] But of course not. But it will knock them unconscious. Now justyou remember, young man, I have no desire to kill anyone. Now go inthere and get on with those repairs. I want to leave this placequickly. Hurry up please. Wasting my time. Well I think that should dothe trick, my dear. Come along, let's get this cable back. There weare. [KATARINA] You show me so many strange mysteries. With you I know I'msafe. [DOCTOR] I hope so, my dear, I hope so. [DOCTOR] It's the Dalek Spaceship! It's bound to land. Hurry up! [STEVEN] We're being as quick as we can. [DOCTOR] Get off, get off, get off! [STEVEN] That's it, Bret! [BRET] All right. Right, stand by everyone. As this take off is on nowmanual, it may not be quite so smooth. [BRET] Doctor, did you close the outer door? [DOCTOR] Oh I'm so sorry, I'm not used to this kind of craft. [BRET] It's all right, it doesn't matter. [DOCTOR] Look! Look! The Daleks' ship made a bad landing. That gives usthe time we need. [STEVEN] We made it! [BRET] Next stop, Earth. [DOCTOR] Oh, I'm so glad to hear that, young man. Now, you got somethinking to do. Katarina, check up on that door and see that it issecure. [STEVEN] Do you realise --------------------------------------- (Spar ship) [DOCTOR] Remember, Chen will have allies on earthand [KIRKSEN] Keep back! [DOCTOR] Who are you? What do you want? Release that girl! [KIRKSEN] Never mind! Who's in charge of this thing? Answer me! [BRET] I am. [KIRKSEN] Where are you heading? [BRET] Earth. [KIRKSEN] Change course. Change it! [BRET] Where to? [KIRKSEN] Not Earth. Go to the planet Kembel. [DOCTOR] Kembel! [KIRKSEN] Shut up and do as I say! [BRET] Kembel's deserted, man. It's as bad as Desperus. [KIRKSEN] Nowhere's as bad as Desperus! [STEVEN] The Daleks are on Kembel! [KIRKSEN] So? [DOCTOR] The Daleks are no help, We're going back to Earth. [KIRKSEN] Then I shall be sent back to the Devil's planet! No, whoeverthe Daleks are, they'll help me. [STEVEN] You don't know about them. [KIRKSEN] I said go to Kembel! Kembel! --------------------------------------- (Dalek Control centre) [DALEK [OC]] Only slight damage was sustained. We are ready to continuepursuit of Earth vessel. [BLACK] What is course of Earth vessel? [DALEK] Back on course 707 heading for Earth. [BLACK] Contact Mavic Chen through secret communication red. He mustrecapture the taranium and exterminate creatures who took it. [DALEK] I obey. [BLACK] Pursuit vessel, return to base. [DALEK [OC]] We obey. [BLACK] Destroy pursuit ship. They have failed in their mission. We willnot tolerate mistakes. --------------------------------------- (Spar ship) [DOCTOR] We're changing course. Now release that girl. [KIRKSEN] Do you think I'm a fool? [STEVEN] Course is changed. We're heading for Kembel. [KIRKSEN] It doesn't feel as if we've changed. [BRET] Well, look up at the screen and you'll see. [STEVEN] Well open the door from the control panel. I'll rush him! [DOCTOR] The girl will be dead before the door's half open! Can we talkto him in there? [BRET] Yes, I've turned on the talkback. [DOCTOR] Let's try a little bluff. Now, then! Listen to me, whoever youare. Bring that girl in here, or we will press a button and you will gooutside the door into space. [KIRKSEN] Then the girl dies too. If you open the outside door I'llpress the inner release and then we'll all be dead! [BRET] We can't seem to get through to him. He's crazy. [DOCTOR] We've got to get Katarina out of there! [STEVEN] Stop that! Turn the talkback on again! [BRET] There's no point. [STEVEN] Turn it on again, before he really hurts her. [BRET] Look, he can't kill her or he hasn't a hostage. [STEVEN] You animal! [KIRKSEN] Now that's just for starters. Do as I say! [DOCTOR] Change course! [KIRKSEN] Now, that's more like it! [DOCTOR] Take him back to Kembel. Take him back to Kembel! Let theDaleks deal with him. [STEVEN] Yes, and us. [DOCTOR] Don't worry, dear boy, We'll find a way out. [KIRKSEN] Stop that or you're dead! [BRET] I can't sacrifice everything for the sake of that one girl. [STEVEN] Listen! Without us you wouldn't have got off Kembel at all, andnothing would be worth bothering about! [BRET] All right, so we all go back together. But without me, I doubtthat you would have got this far either. [STEVEN] Yes, all right, but I won't let you hurt Katarina. We'll headback for Kembel as the Doctor says. On the way we may find a way to gether out of there. [KIRKSEN] You won't. [STEVEN] No, not that one! Katarina! [STEVEN] Katarina! Too late. [STEVEN] She pressed the wrong button, Doctor. [DOCTOR] She may have wanted to, dear boy. She wanted to save our lives. [BRET] It must have been quick. [DOCTOR] I hope she's reached her Place of Perfection. [STEVEN] Yes, but not that way. [DOCTOR] She didn't understand. She couldn't understand. She wanted tosave our lives and perhaps the lives of all the other beings of theSolar System. I hope she's found her Perfection. Oh, how I shall alwaysremember her as one of the Daughters of the Gods. Yes, as one of theDaughters of the Gods. --------------------------------------- (Dalek Control centre) [TRANTIS] Dalek Supreme, you have failed to getback the core of the time destructor. [BLACK] We shall get it back. [TRANTIS] You show too much trust in Mavic Chen. [BLACK] Mavic Chen is hungry for power. We have offered him more powerthan he has ever thought of. He will return to us the taranium core. [TRANTIS] Supposing he fails? [BLACK] He will not. He had been given instructions. [TRANTIS] What instructions? [BLACK] It is not necessary for you to know. [TRANTIS] As Representative of the largest of the outer galaxies, I havethe right to know! [BLACK] Representative Trantis. The Daleks will not fail and neitherwill any of its' allies. If anything tries to stop us we will destroyit. Nothing will be allowed to stand in the way of our plan to conquerthe Universe! --------------------------------------- (Spar ship) [DOCTOR] Judging by the position of those planets, we shall land quitesoon. [BRET] Yes and that's the problem. It won't be easy. [DOCTOR] Oh, haven't we sufficient powerdrive to land safely? [BRET] Yes but we can't land at the main landing area. Remember, this isChen's space vessel. [DOCTOR] Yes, you've got a point there. Where can we land? [BRET] An experimental plant a little way off from Central City. I havea friend there I think will help us. --------------------------------------- (Chen's office) [CHEN] So that's our traitor. [LIZAN] Yes, Bret Vyon. Bred on Mars Colony 16. Joined Space SecurityService 3990. Gained First Rank 3995. Gained Second Rank 3998. [CHEN] You have a good memory. [LIZAN] Thank you, Guardian. [CHEN] And he looks like that? [LIZAN] Exactly like that. How can he look otherwise? Guardian, have youno faith in computerised data? [CHEN] Every faith. But this information is vital. The man is dangerousand must be caught. I would hate there to be any mistake. [LIZAN] A mistake is impossible. Our computer network contains precisechemical details of every man, woman, and child within our SolarSystem. [CHEN] There are forty billion people in the Solar System. Doesn't thatprovide some scope for error? [LIZAN] There is no scope for error. [CHEN] Very well, have it sent out to all stations. Now, what aboutGantry, the other traitor? [LIZAN] We're working on his identity projection now. It should be readyshortly. [KARLTON] Since Vyon is in command, I gave priority to his projection. [CHEN] Excellent. Excellent! Vyon and Gantry were the two who neverreported in from the planet, Kembel, am I right? [LIZAN] Yes, Guardian. [CHEN] Then they are the two who took over my Spar. It's possible theymay be in association with some other creatures. But we don't knowwhere from. [KARLTON] When you catch Vyon and Gantry, you catch them, too. [CHEN] You've done well. I want all Space Security agents called back toEarth. If the traitors are not caught at the landing zone, then CentralCity must be cordoned off until they are found. And Lizan! They will bekilled on sight. Give out the instructions. [LIZAN] Yes, Guardian. [CHEN] I think that takes care of that. You know, Karlton, some of youragents are getting too good. We don't want to spoil things forourselves at this stage. [KARLTON] They won't. I've already insisted that all future operationsshall be cleared with me before they're begun. [CHEN] If you'd done that in the first place, we wouldn't be in thisspot. [KARLTON] Cory's mission was one that he kept to himself. It was donewithout official sanction of any kind. [CHEN] And you could hardly have stopped the others after his distresssignal. You must do better than that. I would hate to have to lose you. [KARLTON] You know you can trust me. --------------------------------------- (Spar ship) [BRET] The drive force is very weak. [DOCTOR] But can we land? [BRET] Yes, but I don't know what would happen. The pull is too hard. [STEVEN] We can't crash now! [BRET] I'm afraid I may not be able to help it. [STEVEN] Yes, well remember, Bret, we got some valuable cargo on board. [BRET] What, the taranium? [STEVEN] And the Doctor. [DOCTOR] Yes, I heard that. Now, don't concern yourselves over me. I canlook after myself. The most important factor is this taranium. [BRET] Right, stand by. --------------------------------------- (Chen's office) [CHEN] Only because of the taranium am I on the council. [KARLTON] It will be returned. [CHEN] It's got to be. I want that position, right beside the Daleks.I'll govern the Universe! [KARLTON] Surely Trantis will be first after the Daleks? [CHEN] Trantis? Trantis! They don't like him. Agreed that his is thelargest galaxy, but he's already demanding too much say in what goeson. They'll want him out of the way now, and I have a plan which mayhelp them to achieve just that. Then it'll be me, Mavic Chen, who'll benext in line. [KARLTON] And I will be there behind you. [CHEN] Of course. [KARLTON] Of course. [CHEN] Is your Special Force dealing with Bret Vyon? [KARLTON] Not completely. I thought it wiser to use some of the ordinarysecurity men. [CHEN] Hmm, very good. We'll need your men next time. Who's in command? [KARLTON] Kingdom. [CHEN] Kingdom? Ruthless, hard, efficient. And does exactly as ordered. [KARLTON] Quite. [KARLTON] Ah ha! I see. Carry out emergency plan B. The traitors havearrived. [CHEN] Good. [KARLTON] But not at the landing area. [CHEN] What? [KARLTON] They have crash-landed at the experimental station. --------------------------------------- (Experimental station) [BRET] No one here. We'll have to wait. Come on. --------------------------------------- (Chen's office) [KARLTON] Kingdom is here. [CHEN] Good. Come in, Kingdom, come in. [CHEN] You know what's happened? [SARA] Yes. [CHEN] Do you know how many there are? [SARA] Three. Bret Vyon and two strangers. They look as though theycould come from Earth but are oddly dressed. None of them can leave theplant. [CHEN] Good. [SARA] They're in the main block. I'm going to capture them myself. [CHEN] Before you do that, there is something you have to know. --------------------------------------- (Daxtar's office) [STEVEN] Look, where on earth is this Daxtar? [BRET] He shouldn't be long. [DOCTOR] And I think we're just wasting valuable time sitting about herewaiting for this man, Baxter or Daxtor or whatever he call himself. [BRET] Doctor, Daxtar is in a position to help us. [DOCTOR] Surely everyone must know that Chen's space-ship hascrash-landed only a short distance away from here. There must behundreds of people looking for us! [BRET] Doctor, there are very few people allowed near this place, it's arestricted area. Look, don't you understand that Chen will probablyhave returned to Earth by this time. He'd have realised that I was theman on the planet Kembel. I expect we're wanted men by this time. [DOCTOR] But this is an experimental plant, There's no scientists, nostaff, nobody! We might just as well have landed ourselves on an emptyplanet. What on Earth is happening? [BRET] Doctor, I don't know anymore than you do. [DOCTOR] Has it occurred to you, by any chance, that we might havedeliberately walked into an ambush? [STEVEN] What's the point in standing here just waiting to be caught? [BRET] Because Daxtar is the only man who will believe our story. [DAXTAR] What story? --------------------------------------- (Chen's office) [CHEN] So you will understand that it's absolutelyessential that this emm of taranium is returned to me. [SARA] Of course. Every precaution for it's safety will be taken. [CHEN] Good. See to it. [KARLTON] She actually believed you. [CHEN] Of course. [KARLTON] I thought for a moment you were really going to tell her aboutthe Daleks. [CHEN] Oh, come. We need that taranium back, but we can't allow any morepeople to know the plan. [KARLTON] I was watching her all the time. She never doubted anything,even momentarily. [CHEN] A good security agent. A heroic war cry to apparently peacefulends is one of the greatest weapons a politician has. --------------------------------------- (Daxtar's office) [DAXTAR] Mavic Chen? The Daleks? I can't believeit. [BRET] The Doctor saw it. [DOCTOR] Quite true. And then he gave a rather pompous speech ofself-satisfaction and handed over the core of the Time Destructor tothe Daleks. [STEVEN] They intend to capture or destroy the Solar System and Chen ishelping them. [DAXTAR] But why? [DOCTOR] A lust for more power than he already has. Universal power. [DAXTAR] It's incredible. [STEVEN] Oh don't worry about it's incredibility. We got to do somethingto stop him. [DOCTOR] Yes, quite so. So whatever plans you have, it's essential thatSteven and I return to the planet Kembel. I want to recover somethingof unique value. [DAXTAR] You didn't leave the taranium there? [STEVEN] No, no, the Doctor has it. [DAXTAR] Good. That gives us a little time. [BRET] Very little. We've got to move fast. [DAXTAR] Of course. We must get down to the Security buildings at once.The planets must all be alerted. A combined Task Force must be sent offto Kembel immediately. [DOCTOR] No. [BRET] What do you mean, Doctor? What are you playing at? [DOCTOR] I suggest you ask Daxtar what he is playing at. [DAXTAR] I don't understand. Look, this situation must be dealt with atonce. [DOCTOR] What price is Mavic Chen paying you for your treachery? [BRET] Treachery? I've known this man all my life. He's no traitor. [DOCTOR] Long acquaintance is no guarantee for honesty. Ask him. Ask himhow he came to know that the core of their Time Destructor wastaranium! [DAXTAR] Don't be so ridiculous! One of you mentioned it when you weretelling me. Why you yourself, mentioned it when you said that Chenhanded the stuff over. [DOCTOR] I did not, sir. How long have you been in this conspiracy? [DAXTAR] What conspiracy? You're making a stupid mistake! [DOCTOR] There is you, and Chen, and how many of the others? Or whatothers are involved? [DAXTAR] Look Bret, you've known me for many years. You know I wouldn'tbe mixed up in anything like this! [BRET] How did you know about the taranium? [DAXTAR] He told me. For heaven's sake, you must have heard him. Youtoo! [BRET] Traitor! [DOCTOR] You brainless idiot! How many times have I told you abouttaking lives? We have other ways and means of dealing with evil doers. [BRET] He deserved worse. [DOCTOR] Possibly! But now we shall never know whom we can trust! --------------------------------------- (Dalek Control centre) [DALEK] A signal from the planet Earth. [BLACK] Report. [DALEK] Mavic Chen has almost recaptured the taranium core and will bereturning with it to land here in two Earth days. [BLACK] Have the fugitives been exterminated? [DALEK] The report did not say. But it is believed that they come fromthe tenth galaxy under the leadership of Trantis. [TRANTIS] That is not true. It is a plot by Mavic Chen to discredit me.He is jealous of my power in the outer galaxies. [BLACK] We shall see. Has the report been confirmed? [DALEK] No. It was a suspicion by the Earth people. [TRANTIS] It is Chen! He is trying to undermine the balance of theGalactic Council. [BLACK] When Mavic Chen returns we shall discover the truth. By thenthose who stole the taranium will have been identified andexterminated! --------------------------------------- (Daxtar's office) [BRET] I'm going to get into the Security building and send out thewarning myself. [DOCTOR] And how do you propose to do that? [STEVEN] Yes, we're probably being searched for now by other friends ofChen. I mean Daxtar clearly knew about the disappearance of thetaranium. [DOCTOR] Yes, possibly. We filled in the story long before he gavehimself away. [BRET] I could try to bluff my way out. Well, it's worth a try. Well youhaven't thought of a better idea. [DOCTOR] Yes, possible. If you hadn't killed Daxtar of course therewouldn't be any need to. [STEVEN] Of course there would. We wouldn't have been able to believeanything he said. [DOCTOR] Well, there's not much point in standing here discussing it anylonger. We shall have to try out your scheme, though I very much doubtof any sort of success that he might have. [BRET] Sara! [SARA] Bret. [BRET] You're just the person we need. [SARA] I doubt that. Which of you has the taranium? [BRET] Run for it! [SARA] Give me the taranium! [BRET] Sara, please listen. [SARA] Give me the taranium! [BRET] You too? [BRET] Sara! --------------------------------------- (Station corridor) [SARA] Borkar! Borkar, where are you? [BORKAR] Yes? [SARA] The two fugitives have escaped. All exits from the main block areto be guarded. [BORKAR] That's Bret Vyon! [SARA] Yes, he's dead. The others must be killed as well. They will beshot on sight, but aim for the head. --------------------------------------- (Station corridor) [DOCTOR] Where's Bret? [STEVEN] He's right behind us, I think. He's probably dealing with thatgirl. [DOCTOR] Oh, he's an irritating man. Come along. In here, quickly. --------------------------------------- (Experiment room) [STEVEN] Strange room. [DOCTOR] Now I wonder what that is? [STEVEN] There are mice inside. Funny sort of cage for mice. [DOCTOR] Yes, it could be some kind of transmitter. [STEVEN] I hope Bret finds us. [DOCTOR] Well, I suggest you stay at that door, and if you hear anynoise outside it's bound to be him. [STEVEN] Yes, if it's moving fast enough. [DOCTOR] Mice. Yes. Perhaps it's some kind of experiment. --------------------------------------- (Experiment control room) [FROYN] Are they ready yet? [RHYNMAL] Pressure count seems have risen again. [FROYN] We have to go ahead anyway. All continuum readings are perfect. [RHYNMAL] No, wait just for a moment. [BORKER] Have you seen two strangers? [FROYN] Get out. [BORKER] We're looking for two men who were headed in this direction. [FROYN] I don't care who you're looking for. We're in the middle of ahighly complicated experiment. Now get out of here. [RHYNMAL] All right now. All readings registering normal. [FROYN] Good. Once again, will you get out of here. [FROYN] Starting dissemination countdown in ten seconds from now. --------------------------------------- (Experiment room) [STEVEN] I think I heard someone. [SARA [OC]] You will stay right where you are, both of you. --------------------------------------- (Experiment room) [SARA] I'll give you five seconds to hand over that taranium. [DOCTOR] Let me speak, please. [SARA] The taranium! [BORKER] It's sealed. Open up! --------------------------------------- (Experiment control room) [FROYN] High molecular absorption. Planet-side power falling. [RHYNMAL] Projection seven alpha zero sero zeta. Instruments registerperfect dissemination. [FROYN] Good. Cutting computer control. [RHYNMAL] Perfect. Absolutely perfect! [FROYN] Just as I thought. [RHYNMAL] Someone's opened the door! [FROYN] Quick! --------------------------------------- (Experiment room) [FROYN] What do you think you're doing? [BORKER] What's going on in this room? [FROYN] We've been carrying out a molecular dissemination, and if youSpace Security people would stop interfering we'd be able to get on alot faster. [RHYNMAL] Looks as though it was perfect. [BORKER] You don't understand. [FROYN] Have you touched anything in this room? [BORKER] No! But there were three people in here. Where are they? [RHYNMAL] There can't have been. There were only my mice. I know, I setthem here myself. [BORKER] You've got to get them back. [FROYN] Get them back? But we can't. [BORKER] What do you mean, you can't. You must. [FROYN] You don't seem to understand. Anyone or anything that was inthis room at the time of the experiment is now being transmittedthrough space. [RHYNMAL] Yes, my friend. They're many light years from Earth by now,moving towards a strange planet in a strange galaxy, the nature ofwhich we can only guess at. --------------------------------------- (Dalek Control centre) [BLACK] Has any message been received from Earth? [DALEK 1] No. [BLACK] Contract Mavic Chen and ask for a report. He should be bringingthe taranium core by this time. [DALEK 1] I obey. --------------------------------------- (Experiment control room) [KARLTON] How long will it take till you know ifyour experiment is successful. [FROYN] We don't know. Once the instruments reform on the planet Mira,they should start transmitting immediately. [KARLTON] Would it not have been wiser to choose a nearer planet thanMira? [FROYN] The whole point was the distance. We already know that certainsmall objects can be sent by cellular fragmentation over some shortdistances. [KARLTON] And will these people arrive safely? [FROYN] We don't know. We've never tried to transpose people in this waybefore. [KARLTON] Why didn't you stop when Space Security came in. [FROYN] The experiment had already started. We couldn't stop. [KARLTON] You're a fool. Why didn't you make them stop? [BORKER] There wasn't time. And we didn't know where these people were. [KARLTON] Inform me as soon as you know that your mechanism has reachedMira. [FROYN] Of course. [FROYN] Is there no sign of anything yet? [RHYNMAL] No, no. Ah! I think something's coming through. [FROYN] Oh yes. --------------------------------------- (Experiment room) [KARLTON] The instruments reassembled successfully and the mice werealive. [CHEN] You know that might mean nothing. You realise the Daleks mightjust assemble a force and conquer us, and there'll be nothing we cando. [KARLTON] We still have the power. [CHEN] Where? They're expecting me now to arrive with the taranium. [KARLTON] Calm down. Mira is not far from Kembel, is it? [CHEN] It's nearer Kembel then Earth is. But what help is that? [KARLTON] Tell the Daleks that you trapped the fugitives in the cellularprojector and sent them to Mira on purpose. [CHEN] You're mad. [KARLTON] Am I? It was a safety measure. Unwelcome attention was beingpaid to the fugitives so you send them to Mira on purpose. [CHEN] Ah. We could attribute it to a too-efficient security system.It'll show conclusively that we're completely allied to the Daleks.They would trust us the more. [KARLTON] Exactly. [CHEN] Wait. How do we know that the taranium wasn't destroyed on theway. [KARLTON] We don't. [CHEN] But [KARLTON] No buts. The only reason that you as Guardian of the SolarSystem were admitted to the Universal Council was because of oursuperior knowledge of mineralogy. Without us they cannot get taranium. [CHEN] Without me, their plan cannot completely work. Without me, theyare but nothing. Nothing! When I am next to the Daleks, only they standbetween me and the highest position in the universe. Then will be thetime for me to take complete control! [CHEN] You are a fortunate man, Karlton. You will have a high place ingalactic history. [KARLTON] The highest, next to you. --------------------------------------- (Planet Mira) [DOCTOR] The mice couldn't have done that. [DOCTOR] How extraordinary. Most extraordinary. Steven! Steven, my boy,where are you? [STEVEN] Doctor! Doctor. [DOCTOR] All right, all right, all right. [STEVEN] What's going on? Where are we? What on Earth's happened? [DOCTOR] Calm down, calm down. I don't know where we are. We're safe andsound, that's the main thing. Oh, I suppose she had to come along. [STEVEN] Yes, but what's happened? All I know is she is about to shootus and there was this fantastic noise. [DOCTOR] Yes, I'm very glad you took that gun away from her. Is she allright? [STEVEN] She hasn't come round yet. [DOCTOR] Pull yourself together, madam. I want to ask you a fewquestions. [SARA] What? [DOCTOR] Take a good look round, dear boy, and find a place to hide.We've a lot to sort out. [SARA] You! The traitors! I must [DOCTOR] Quiet. Do as you're told. Get on your feet. You're lucky to bealive. Now, you come with me, but don't try any tricks. Come along. --------------------------------------- (Dalek Control centre) [DALEK 1] The pursuit ship reports that they havelanded on the planet Mira. [BLACK] Have they located the fugitives? [DALEK 1] The detectors register strong readings. [BLACK] When the fugitives are captured, report at once. [DALEK 1] I obey. --------------------------------------- (Planet Mira) [STEVEN] Feeling better? [SARA] I'll feel a lot better when we get out of this place. [DOCTOR] Getting away from this place sets quite a problem. [SARA] Where are we? [DOCTOR] At the moment, I haven't the faintest idea. [SARA] Well, how did we get here? [DOCTOR] Cellular dissemination. [SARA] Cellular what? [DOCTOR] To put it in lay language, cellular dissemination means ourbodies were broken up by some process or other, shot through into thefourth dimension, and at a given point, reassembled again on thisplanet. [STEVEN] That's fantastic. [SARA] Impossible. [DOCTOR] Fantastic it may be my boy, but impossible, no, becauseprecisely that is what has happened. [STEVEN] Yes, but Doctor what about that transmitter thing? You know,the one with the mice in it. [DOCTOR] Yes, that followed along too and I believe it's sendingmessages back to Earth. Now that would mean that Mavic Chen will knowprecisely where we are. Therefore the Daleks will attack once again. [DALEK 1] Detector indicates being at close range. [DALEK 2] An alien device. There are small white creatures inside. Theymay be hostile. [DALEK 1] It is sending out signals. [DALEK 2] It may belong to the fugitives and register our presence here. [DALEK 1] Destroy it. [DALEK 1] Detector still registers being is very close. [DALEK 2] I can see nothing. [DALEK 1] There is a being near us. Fire at any movement. [DALEK 2] The beings appear to be invisible. We must continue the searchfor the fugitives. Keep constant detector readings. Open fire when itregisters close proximity. [DALEK 1] I obey. --------------------------------------- (Experiment control room) [FROYN] I don't understand it. We were getting suchpowerful signals. Now we're getting absolutely nothing. [KARLTON] A technical fault? [FROYN] It couldn't be, not just like that. [RHYNMAL] These criminals must have damaged it. [FROYN] Why didn't they do it when they first arrived? [KARLTON] Perhaps they have only just found it. You are certain thatthere are no natural beings on Mira? [FROYN] Not to our knowledge. Our probes have never shown any. [RHYNMAL] That's why we sent the mice. I was hoping that they mightperhaps... Oh dear. Perhaps we should send some more mice? [KARLTON] No. Send nothing further to Mira. Inform me as soon as youregain any form of contact. In the meantime, send no further matter tothat planet. --------------------------------------- (Planet Mira) [DOCTOR] I might have know it. Visians. The planet Mira. [STEVEN] But he was the one person who could have warned Earth. [SARA] So you say. [STEVEN] You killed Bret! You just shot him down. [SARA] He was a traitor. Between the three of you, you had stolen thetaranium, the most valuable mineral in the universe. It was neededdesperately to spread the peace which was founded in the solar system,to reach the whole galaxy. [STEVEN] What was the taranium going to do? [SARA] How should I know? I had my orders. [STEVEN] Your orders. And even though it meant killing one of your ownpeople, you obeyed them blindly, without question? [SARA] One does not question the orders of the Guardian. [STEVEN] You didn't stop to think how it came to happen that a spacesecurity agent, one of your own people, was a traitor? [SARA] No! [STEVEN] You didn't give Bret a chance, did you. You couldn't questionChen and you wouldn't question Bret. [SARA] Look, what do you want me to say? That I believe your fantasticstory? [STEVEN] It's true. [SARA] It mustn't be. [DOCTOR] I'm afraid it is, my dear. [STEVEN] But Bret had to be killed. [SARA] Shut up! Bret Vyon was my brother. [DOCTOR] Leave her, my boy. There's nothing we can do. She finallybelieves us. [SARA] Something touched me. [STEVEN] Doc! [DOCTOR] Steven! Listen to me, both of you. This is the planet Mira, andthe only beings on here are the Visians. We can't see them, but they'revery vicious. We must try to get away from here as soon as possible. [SARA] But how? [DOCTOR] I don't know yet. [STEVEN] Is that them? [DOCTOR] Yes, and it appears we're trapped! --------------------------------------- (Mavic Chen's office) [KARLTON] I am certain that the Daleks have alreadyreached Mira. [CHEN] That means I must return to Kembel at once. [KARLTON] Of course. Everything is arranged. [CHEN] Good. It looks as though the Daleks have believed my story. Imust be there before the taranium's bought back. [KARLTON] If it is. [CHEN] Wait till you hear from me, then take your party to Venus.Whatever happens, we shall outwit the Daleks. We should be able todestroy Kembel with help from the rest of the solar system. [KARLTON] But that will only mean mastery of this galaxy. [CHEN] But a start, Karlton, a start. --------------------------------------- (Planet Mira) [DOCTOR] I don't think they've quite fathomed us out. [STEVEN] Yes, but when we beat our way through, we've got to sticktogether. [DOCTOR] And you remember, my boy, aim high. These Visians are eightfeet tall. [STEVEN] Daleks! [SARA] You're right, Doctor. They've come. [DALEK 1] You are surrounded. You will come with us. [DOCTOR] I'm afraid, my friends, the Daleks have won. --------------------------------------- (Planet Mira) [DALEK] You will hand over the taranium core. [DOCTOR] If I do, what guarantee is there that you won't fire your gunsafterwards? [DALEK] There is no guarantee. [DALEK 2] Seismic detector shows that the object that he is carrying isthe taranium! [DALEK] You will surrender it! [SARA] He will not! [DALEK] Silence! You will not speak! [DOCTOR] You dare not fire, because of this taranium! To end thisstalemate, may I suggest [DALEK] There will no more discussion. The core is to be handed over.Re-form line. Prepare to exterminate them. What is that noise?? [DALEK 2] The invisible creatures are attacking in force! [DALEK] Patrol alert! Patrol Alert! Annihilate them! Annihilate them! [DOCTOR] There's a good boy, keep going! [DALEK 2] The invisible creatures have been exterminated. [DALEK] Search for the fugitives. They must not escape. [DALEKS] We obey! --------------------------------------- (Dalek Control centre) [DALEK] Communication received from the planetMira. [BLACK] Are the fugitives still evading capture? [DALEK] Yes. There has been no further contact. Reinforcements can bedispatched. [BLACK] Our force already there is sufficient for the task. Contact themand order that the taranium is to be recovered. Failure will not betolerated! --------------------------------------- (Outside the Dalek pursuit ship) [DOCTOR] There's only one guard. Now you know what to do? [STEVEN] Yes. [SARA] It will never work. [STEVEN] It will. It's got to. [SARA] The other Daleks will be back here before he can get started. [STEVEN] Why should they? They're out looking for us, they won't expectus to come back here. [SARA] Look, they're not complete fools. They know we got to get offMira and that their ship is our only chance. [STEVEN] Don't worry. Like most of the Doctor's plans, this one'ssimple. It won't take long. [SARA] Well, why doesn't he get started then? [STEVEN] Give him time. He's got to get round there. Look, you mustlearn to trust him. He's had dealing with the Daleks before. [SARA] I have no choice. Let's hope you're right. [STEVEN] He should be in position by now. Come on. [GUARD] Remain where you are. [DOCTOR] I certainly will. I've come to give myself up. [DALEK GUARD] Do you have the taranium? [DOCTOR] I have. I realise of course that I am no match for the Daleks,so if I hand it over, will you help me and my friends to get away fromthis planet? [DALEK GUARD] Where are the others? [DOCTOR] Oh, they will come when I call them. The taranium. Shall I giveit to you or would you prefer me to hand it to you in your ship? [DALEK GUARD] You will wait there until the patrol returns. The othersare to join you. If you try to escape you [DOCTOR] Escape! Oh, my tin friend. Never. You mustn't forget that Icame here and surrendered of my own free will. [DALEK GUARD] Help, help, loss of vision, loss of vision, am underattack! Am under attack! Patrol alert! Patrol alert! [DALEK] Cease firing before we sustain damage. Report! [DALEK GUARD] The fugitives boarded the Pursuit ship! --------------------------------------- (Dalek Pursuit ship) [DALEK [OC]] Alert all patrols. Alert all patrols. [SARA] Can you work it, Doctor? [DOCTOR] Oh don't worry my dear. I'm quite accustomed to this Dalektechnique. Close the hatches please. [DALEK [OC]] Surround pursuit ship. Surround pursuit ship. [DALEKS [OC]] We obey. [SARA] Doors are not closing! Vacuum-lock reading 2.24. [DOCTOR] The power build-up is far too slow. Feed in that extra energy. [SARA] 3.82 rising. [DALEK [OC]] Avoid firing in area of taranium. [DOCTOR] It should activate at five, zero, zero. [DALEKS [OC]] We obey. [STEVEN] They're forming up to attack. [SARA] 4.32 still rising. [DALEK [OC]] Form up, attack formation. [DOCTOR] Splendid! [DALEK 2 [OC]] Prepare to board the ship! [DALEK [OC]] Exterminate them! Exterminate them! [STEVEN] That was close. It was too close! [DOCTOR] Autogiro. Giro dynamo. [SARA] Coding nine, two. Red, blue, blue. [DOCTOR] Discharge. [SARA] Coding one, zero, zero. All blue reading. Take off now! [DOCTOR] Splendid! Hold tight! --------------------------------------- (Dalek Control centre) [BLACK] Mavic Chen, you have failed in your task. [CHEN] Failed? Is this my greeting? I agree that my mission was toreturn to Earth and recover the taranium. This I have not done. [BLACK] Failure will not be tolerated! [CHEN] But I did notify you of the fugitives' whereabouts. The planetMira. There the vital core can be taken from them without suspicion.Their presence on Earth was a constant danger! At anytime they couldhave contacted forces unsympathetic to our plans. [BLACK] You make your incompetence sound like an achievement. [CHEN] Incompetence now, is it? You forget that the original blunder wasnot of my doing. I journeyed to and from Earth to correct a failingyour security force should have dealt with. The core was stolen fromhere. My actions have brought about a situation which will allow you torecover the missing taranium easily and simply. If that is a failure,then I have failed. [BLACK] Report. [DALEK] The fugitives have stolen our pursuit ship and left the planetMira. [BLACK] Stolen! Left the planet Mira! Is their course being computed? [DALEK] It is. [BLACK] What news of our force? [DALEK] They are stranded on the planet and under constant attack fromthe invisible creatures that inhibit it. [BLACK] Dispatch a rescue ship to their aid. They will be dealt with ontheir return. Meanwhile, I will personally supervise recovery of thecore. [DALEK] I obey. [CHEN] And you had the audacity to accuse me, Mavic Chen, ofincompetence. [BLACK] It is [CHEN] A Dalek ship stolen? [BLACK] It is not [CHEN] Really? [BLACK] It is not an emergency! [CHEN] No. More like a catastrophe! [BLACK] They may believe that they have successfully escaped from us,but we, the Daleks, are still in command! --------------------------------------- (Dalek Pursuit ship) [STEVEN] Will it work, Doctor? [DOCTOR] No, course it won't, my dear boy. That's the whole point. [STEVEN] I mean your plan. [DOCTOR] No, we shall have to make a copy. A copy so exact that we candeceive the Daleks. They'll still want this taranium back, you know.They won't rest until they get it. [STEVEN] Yes, but suppose [SARA] There isn't time to suppose. I'm sure the Doctor can copy it wellenough. [DOCTOR] Yes, thank you, thank you my dear, thank you. I'll have a goodtry. And I think that will give us sufficient breathing space. What'sthat? [SARA] We're changing course. We're moving away on a selected route. [DOCTOR] Good gracious, we're on the course for the planet Kembel. Youknow, I'm very much afraid that we're under the Dalek influence. [STEVEN] It's obviously this that's causing the damage. [STEVEN] Ah, that settles that. [SARA] Isn't that a rather a drastic way of dealing with things? [STEVEN] Sara, the technology of my age may be hundreds of years behindyours and the Doctor's, but there are still some things I can handle. [DOCTOR] Yes, of course there is, my dear boy. Of course there is. Comealong, young lady, let's get on with our mineral while we still havethe time. --------------------------------------- (Dalek Control centre) [DALEK] Pursuit ship has broken free of ourcontrol. [BLACK] Activate magnetised beam. [DALEK] Magnetised beam activated. [CHEN] I sincerely hope there's not been any further bungling? [BLACK] We have temporarily lost control, but once the magnetised beamreaches them it will pull them to Kembel, where they will beexterminated! [CHEN] After we have the core of the Time Destructor in our possession,I trust. [BLACK] Of course! Of course! --------------------------------------- (Dalek Pursuit ship) [DOCTOR] Yes I think so, yes, yes, there. That's a good copy, although Isay it myself. [SARA] Yes, but there's still the problem of charging it. The Dalekswill know immediately that it isn't the real taranium. [DOCTOR] I appreciate that young lady, but this is the right balance andthe right weight. [STEVEN] We're still on our own course. The Daleks haven't attempted todivert us yet. [DOCTOR] Oh good, good, good. Well you keep watching, there's a goodfellow. [STEVEN] Hey! [DOCTOR] No, I should try that one. [STEVEN] This is excellent. [DOCTOR] Isn't it. [STEVEN] How do you propose to activate it? [DOCTOR] Oh, we're working on that. Yes, we're working on it. [STEVEN] We could use the gravity force from the ship's power centre. Imean, there's an outlet here. [SARA] What? [STEVEN] What's wrong with that? [DOCTOR] Too primitive, my boy. Too primitive and far too dangerous. [SARA] Gravity force as a source of energy was abandoned, centuries ago. [STEVEN] We were still using it. [SARA] Oh yes, and the Romans used treadmills. [STEVEN] I still think G-force would do the trick. [SARA] We're changing course again. [DOCTOR] Back to the planet Kembel but what? You know, it appears thatwe're being affected by magnetization. We're been held in a very strongbeam. [SARA] That will take us right back to the Daleks. [DOCTOR] Let's try and break it, child. Come along. [STEVEN] Now we'll see about those treadmills. [SARA] Steven! [DOCTOR] My dear boy! What happened? What's happened? He's stillbreathing. [SARA] The fool! He's tried his experiment with G-force and reliancepower. [DOCTOR] He's still alive, and lucky at that. [SARA] But it worked! Look, Doctor. It's just like the real taranium. [DOCTOR] Oh, isn't that wonderful. That's wonderful! Steven's theory hasproved successful. But what about the poor boy? --------------------------------------- (Dalek Control centre) [DALEK] Dalek pursuit ship has entered theatmosphere. [DALEK 2] Reducing speed. Ten degrees of light. Eight. Six. [CHEN] It appears that you have at last succeeded in getting thetaranium back. [BLACK] Of course. And we shall deal with these fugitives as with allthose who oppose us. [CHEN] No! [BLACK] Do you challenge us? [CHEN] Of course not. But might it not be advisable for me to returnthem to Earth for trial? [BLACK] Why? [CHEN] They will be tried and found guilty as traitors to the SolarSystem. After all, the woman is from Earth. [BLACK] The Daleks will deal with them, there is no need for the delayin their extermination. [CHEN] Some people on Earth know that our traitors were transposed toMira. If they disappear for good, those people will be curious and askwhat happened to them. It's possible that they might find out that theDaleks executed them. Then your plans could be hindered. [BLACK] It is essential that you do not allow your Earth people tobecome curious. [CHEN] Human curiosity is something I can have no control over. [BLACK] You must forestall their questions until it is too late. [CHEN] Too late? [BLACK] Yes! We will have conquered the Solar System before our presencehere is discovered. [CHEN] It is possible. [BLACK] Once we have the taranium, there is nothing to stop us! [CHEN] Very well. I leave their fate to you. [BLACK] The Dalek reception force should now be in position at thespecified landing point. [CHEN] Yes, they should. And I think it's about time we left to jointhem, don't you? --------------------------------------- (Dalek Pursuit ship) [SARA] Height and speed reducing. [DOCTOR] Yes, we should be landing in about five minutes. [SARA] I'll see how Steven is. [SARA] I think the effect's wearing off. [DOCTOR] No, my dear. He's adapting to it. Can you talk, my boy? No.He's still under the influence of that force field. Nothing furtherwill happen to you. Now don't worry. [DOCTOR] Yes, nothing further going to happen to him but I must confessI I have no cure for that condition. [SARA] He's enclosed in a forcefield. [DOCTOR] Yes, yes, I'm afraid so. Sara, bring me that fake taranium.Yes, yes, yes. Now, listen to me, Steven. Try and understand. This isvery important so you must trust me. You do understand? Just try andindicate. --------------------------------------- (Kembel landing pad) [BLACK] Pursuit ship is landing at precise pointcalculated. [CHEN] Well it appears that everything's going according to plan. [BLACK] The taranium will be recovered. [CHEN] I hope you are right. [BLACK] This time, there will no error. --------------------------------------- (Dalek Pursuit ship) [DOCTOR] We're here. Now we've got to face theDaleks. Open the doors, please. Steven will lead the way. This way,Steven. [SARA] But it won't, it can't work! [DOCTOR] It's our only chance, my dear. And remember, I will do all thetalking. --------------------------------------- (Kembel landing pad) [CHEN] The taranium! I would suggest that you give that to me, youngman. [DOCTOR] No. And remember, you cannot fire because of the taranium.You'd have another fifty years work. [CHEN] Possibly, But you are still in no position to bargain. [DOCTOR] I will hand over the taranium outside my ship, the Tardis. [CHEN] You heard the condition. [BLACK] It is not acceptable. [CHEN] You heard what the Dalek Supreme said. [DOCTOR] Outside my ship, the Tardis, or nowhere! [CHEN] He seems determined. Does it really matter? [BLACK] Very well. In front of his ship. [DOCTOR] Thank you. Steven? [CHEN] Kingdom. [SARA] Traitor. --------------------------------------- (Outside the Tardis) [DOCTOR] Sara, open the door please. The young man will give you thetaranium when the girl and I are safely inside my ship, the Tardis. [BLACK] Very well. [CHEN] Making sure of your escape, eh, Doctor? [DOCTOR] Remember to do exactly as I say, Steven. I will give youfurther instructions from inside my Tardis. [DOCTOR [OC]] Steven, hand the box over to Chen. Then come inside theTardis. [CHEN] This is it! The core of the Time Destructor! [BLACK] Exterminate him! [BLACK] The ray guns did not take effect! [DALEK] All were operated at full power. [BLACK] No human being can withstand their fire. [CHEN] What happened is unimportant! We have the taranium! The invasioncan go ahead. The Universe will be ours! --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [SARA] Are you sure you're all right? [STEVEN] Yes, more or less. [DOCTOR] The Dalek guns must have destroyed that forcefield completely.It's a good thing they didn't fire a second time. [STEVEN] I don't really know what happened. [SARA] You were enclosed in a field of Gravity force and reliance power. [DOCTOR] You had a shield round you. You know, similar to that one thatprotects the Tardis. Oh, that's remind me. Where is that genuineTaranium? [SARA] Over here. [STEVEN] It's a pity I blacked out. I mean, if I knew the ratioreadings, we could use the same force again to protect us from theDaleks. [DOCTOR] Certainly not! What you did was very dangerous and extremelystupid. [STEVEN] Oh, come off it. It worked. [DOCTOR] One more experiment like that and you really will be dead. [STEVEN] Oh, nonsense. [DOCTOR] Now, now, now, you listen to me, young man. I warned you it wasdangerous before you tried it. You might have killed yourself and blownup the space-ship. Then, where would we all be? [STEVEN] I know where I'll be. I don't know about you lot. [DOCTOR] Now, now, now, now don't be cheeky. [STEVEN] Look, if it haven't been for me, how would you have charged thetaranium and carried out the hand-over? I think we should experimentfurther. [DOCTOR] I don't care what you think. We're not going to repeat it. Whydo you think science turned down your discovery? Because it isn't safe.So perhaps in future you'll pay attention to what I say and rememberthat I happen to be the leader of this expedition and I don't want tokeep on repeating myself. [STEVEN] But Doctor [DOCTOR] Never mind the buts! If you don't like it, you can get off! [STEVEN] All right Doctor, I promise that I won't experiment with it anyfurther. [DOCTOR] I hope not. [SARA] Something's gone wrong. [DOCTOR] What's the matter? [SARA] It's stopped going up and down. [STEVEN] That's means that we've landed. [DOCTOR] Oh, tut, tut, tut. That scanner's not working. [SARA] Can you mend it? [DOCTOR] Yes I shall have to repair it, of course, yes, yes, but thatmeans checking up on the whole circuit. [STEVEN] Well, let's get on with it. [DOCTOR] Ah, ah, ah. Don't you dare touch that. [STEVEN] Why not? [DOCTOR] Well, just look at those dials. Look! Look here, Sara. You seethose dials, now you know what that means? If either of you wentoutside, it would be extremely dangerous. The whole atmosphere isentirely poisonous. --------------------------------------- (Street) [SERGEANT] What in the name of? [SERGEANT] Who put that there? [CONSTABLE 1 (the driver) + CONSTABLE 2 (the passenger)] When a poor mancame inside, gathering winter fuel. [CONSTABLE 1] Here, I reckon we could charm the birds of the trees. [CONSTABLE 2] I'd settle for some from the coffee bars. [CONSTABLE 1] Here, what about 'While Shepherds Watch'? do you thinkthey'd appreciate that? [CONSTABLE 2] Hey, now here's the Sergeant. Come on. [CONSTABLE 1] Oh. [CONSTABLE 2] Hello Sergeant, what you doing out here? [SERGEANT] Hey, come and have a look at this. [CONSTABLE 2] Well, where did that come from? [SERGEANT] You tell me. [CONSTABLE 1] Oh, perhaps someone sent it to the Inspector as aChristmas box. [SERGEANT] And perhaps you'll both just stay out here and watch it. [CONSTABLE 1] Why? Do you think it's going to fly away? [SERGEANT] Just you stay there and keep an eye on it, right? --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [STEVEN] And just why, if it isn't safe for us, isit safe for you? [DOCTOR] Will neither of you understand? [SARA] For heaven's sake, let's go and fix the scanner! [DOCTOR] No! Where you come from, in both places, the air is pure.Outside there is the worst kind of pollution I've met in years. [STEVEN] Right, then you shouldn't go out there, either. [DOCTOR] Ah, my dear boy, I'm used to all sorts of atmospheres. It won'taffect me. I shall have to go out and do the repairing myself. [SARA] But suppose something happens to you? [DOCTOR] Then, and only then, can you come out. But you must be very,very careful. [STEVEN] And how are we supposed to know that something has happened toyou? [DOCTOR] My dear young man, just give me a few minutes and if all iswell, I shall be back inside again to tell you. [STEVEN] And if not, we come out and find you? I seem to have beenthrough all this before. [DOCTOR] Now, look here, my boy. You will do as you're told! Now youjust open the doors and remember to close them after I've gone. [STEVEN] Yes, sir! --------------------------------------- (Street) [CONSTABLE 1] Good evening. [DOCTOR] Good evening. [CONSTABLE 1] Hey, you! [CONSTABLE 2] What's up? [CONSTABLE 1] See that? [CONSTABLE 2] See what? [CONSTABLE 1] That then. [CONSTABLE 2] What when? [CONSTABLE 1] That door, [CONSTABLE 2] That door? [CONSTABLE 1] It opened, [CONSTABLE 2] Did it? [CONSTABLE 1] There's a bloke in there. [CONSTABLE 2] Oh, aye? [CONSTABLE 1] A bloke with long white hair. I just saw him. [CONSTABLE 2] Did you? [CONSTABLE 1] Aye. [CONSTABLE 2] It's locked. [CONSTABLE 1] But I just saw him. [CONSTABLE 2] Oh, aye. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] No, police. P-O-L-I-C-E. [SARA] Oh, I see. We've landed on your own planet. [DOCTOR] Oh, nonsense, child. We're back on Earth. [SARA] But that's what's written outside the Tardis. [DOCTOR] Oh, never mind. Never mind. I shall have to go outside and tryand distract them. Meanwhile, you can stay here for a while then comeout and do the scanner. [STEVEN] Yes. But, you said the air out there was so bad, that if wewent out [DOCTOR] Never mind what I said, my dear boy. Do as you're told. Nowopen the doors and remember to shut them after I've gone. [STEVEN] Yes, sir. --------------------------------------- (Street) [DOCTOR] Hmm. [CONSTABLE 2] It wouldn't be Father Christmas, would it? [CONSTABLE 1] All right lad. It's a fair cop. --------------------------------------- (Police station) [SERGEANT] All right. What can I do for you? [MAN] I've got a complaint. [SERGEANT] Well, the doctor's just around the corner. [MAN] No, no, no, no. I, I mean, I want to make a complaint. [SERGEANT] Oh, I see. Well, let's have your name then. [MAN] They keep moving me house. [SERGEANT] Moving your what? [MAN] House! [SERGEANT] They keep moving your house? [MAN] Yes. Me greenhouse. It's the rebels. [SERGEANT] The rebels? [CONSTABLE 1] Anyone in CID.? [SERGEANT] Oh, straight through. [CONSTABLE 1] Good. Come on. [DOCTOR] (to the man) Haven't I seen your face before somewhere? [MAN] Where? [DOCTOR] Yes, of course, I remember now, yes. The marketplace at Jaffa. [MAN] Jaffa? The young chap said I should come to see you about. [SERGEANT] Do what? [MAN] About me greenhouse. It's the rebels. --------------------------------------- (Inspector's office) [INSPECTOR] I've heard of a housing shortage, but I never knew it was sobad you'd have to spend Christmas in a Police Box. [DOCTOR] Oh, Christmas. Oh, is it? Of course. Yes, yes, yes, yes. Thataccounts for the holly in the hall. [INSPECTOR] You mean you didn't know? [DOCTOR] Well, of course I didn't know. I travel about too much. [INSPECTOR] And why is that? [DOCTOR] Well, a quest of knowledge, dear boy. I mean, you have a sayingin this country, have you not? Travel broadens the mind? [INSPECTOR] You mean you're not English? [DOCTOR] No. Gracious, no. [INSPECTOR] Scottish? [DOCTOR] No. [INSPECTOR] Are you Welsh, then? [DOCTOR] Oh, you'll have to think in a far bigger way than that. Yourideas are too narrow, too small, too crippled. [INSPECTOR] All right, all right. What are you then? [DOCTOR] Well, I suppose you might say that I am a citizen of theuniverse, and a gentleman to boot. [CONSTABLE 2] He's having us on a bit, isn't he sir? [INSPECTOR] Now, look lad. --------------------------------------- (Police station) [MAN] And now they've been and gone and moved itagain. [SERGEANT] Oh, where to this time? [MAN] I don't know. That's why I came to see you. The young fellow. [SERGEANT] You sure it's not out there along beside the, oh, here, justa minute. [STEVEN] Er, excuse me. [SERGEANT] Ah. You must be the new bloke from G Division, come to helpus out. [STEVEN] I, I beg your pardon? [SERGEANT] I said you must be the new bloke from G Division. [STEVEN] Must I? Oh! Oh, yes. Yes, that's right. Yes, I've called aboutthe old man. [SERGEANT] Old man? What old man? [STEVEN] Well, he was brought in here a minute ago. [SERGEANT] Oh, he's with the CID. You'd better wait until they'vefinished with him. [STEVEN] Fine, yeah. Well, I've got to get to him. [SERGEANT] Well, you'll have to wait, lad. He'll be out here again soon.Now wait over there. [MAN] Now what about my greenhouse? [SERGEANT] Oh, yes. Now where was it you said? [MAN] Well, for a start, it's not in me garden. --------------------------------------- (Inspector's office) [DOCTOR] I don't think you really understand. Thatobject in the yard out there isn't really a police box. [INSPECTOR] No, no, of course it's not. It's the new Brighton ferry. [DOCTOR] It is a machine for investigating Time and Relative Dimensionsin Space. [CONSTABLE 2] He's a nutter. [INSPECTOR] He's straight from a funny-farm, if you ask me. [DOCTOR] Do I take it that you gentlemen are imputing that I am mentallyderanged? [CONSTABLE 2] I told you. He's a nutter. [INSPECTOR] Was he the only bloke in the box? [CONSTABLE 1] Well how should I know? [INSPECTOR] Well didn't you check? There might be a whole army of themin there, living like gypsies in one of Her Majesty's police telephoneboxes. [CONSTABLE 2] And just how many people do you expect to come out of onebox? --------------------------------------- (Street) [(Sara comes out of the Tardis, considering how shemight climb up to fix the scanner eye, and rather concerned that theDoctor and Steven have not yet returned. SARA] Where have they got to? [CONSTABLE 1] Hello, Hello. What are you doing hanging around here onChristmas Day? [SARA] Nothing. [CONSTABLE 1] Surprised to see a police box here, I suppose? [SARA] Oh! You think it's yours? [CONSTABLE 1] Well, not mine exactly. Well, let's say it belongs to us,eh? So why don't you leave it where it is and just move along, eh? [SARA] I've got to fix it. [CONSTABLE 1] Fix what? [SARA] The scanner eye. [CONSTABLE 1] The scanner eye? [SARA] Yes. [CONSTABLE 1] Oh, you do? [SARA] Yes. [CONSTABLE 1] Oh. Well, we usually get the jokers around here atChristmas time, but we have to be lenient. So, just move along, eh? [SARA] I can't. [CONSTABLE 1] Oh, yes you can, young lady. That's enough of joking. I'msure you're going to enjoy yourself at that party you're going to, sowhy not go down there now. [SARA] I'm not going to a party. [CONSTABLE 1] Well, wherever you are going dressed up in them fancyclothes, you leave now and there won't be no trouble. [SARA] I've got to stay here. [CONSTABLE 1] Now you take my advice, young lady, and leave now.Otherwise, I might have to run you in for loitering or something likethat. I wouldn't like to have to do that. We've had a bit of troublelike that already tonight. You see, we don't like people hangingaround. But at Christmas time we have to be lenient, and we don't wantto be too difficult for you. [SARA] But. Oh, very well. [CONSTABLE 1] Have a, have a, have a swinging time. Funny girl. [SARA] The idiots. They've obviously got themselves into some kind oftrouble. --------------------------------------- (Police station) [SERGEANT] Why don't you sit down, lad. You'remaking the place look untidy. [STEVEN] It's all right? [DOCTOR] Of course, of course. And what are you doing here? [INSPECTOR] Who are you? Do you know this man? [STEVEN] Yes. I, I mean, aye. [SERGEANT] He's the extra bloke from G Division, sir. [STEVEN] Oh, yeah. It's all right. I'll look after him. [INSPECTOR] Well, if you know him, perhaps you can tell us what he'sdoing in a police box. [STEVEN] A what? [INSPECTOR] That police box across the yard. He claims to live in it. [STEVEN] Hold on, just a minute. It'll be all right. Just a minute. Oh,er, it's all right, er, you see, he's a funny fellow but I know how tohandle him. We're used to him down in G Division. [INSPECTOR] Very well. Well, get him out of here, and see that he steersclear of that police box. [STEVEN] Right. I'll do that, sir. Right. Er, come on then, old man. [DOCTOR] Enough of the old man either. What's all this funny accent? [STEVEN] Everybody else is doing it. [SERGEANT] I'll come with you, make sure you can manage. --------------------------------------- (Street) [CONSTABLE 2] Hey, you! Hey you, what you playingat? [STEVEN] We've got to reach the Tardis, and hurry. [CONSTABLE 2] I don't know what it is about that police box, but firstof all, the old bloke comes out of it. Now I catch this lass climbingabout on it. [SARA] Please let me go! [STEVEN] It's all right. I know her too. [SERGEANT] Aye. You seem to know all the queer people. Well, who is she? [STEVEN] Well, she's a, she's a friend of the old man's. [SARA] Let me go! Come on, Steven. [CONSTABLE 1] Hello. hello. What's up with you? 'ere, 'ere, it's gone. [CONSTABLE 2] What? [CONSTABLE 1] That telephone box, it's gone. Weren't it meant for us? --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [STEVEN] I found this jacket, so they thought I wasone of their group. And when you appeared on the scene they werecompletely mystified. [DOCTOR] Well, even I, dear boy, must admit that I enjoyed myself. Didyou fix the scanner? [SARA] I did. And no help from either of you. [DOCTOR] Oh. [STEVEN] At least it's working. [DOCTOR] Have you checked it? [SARA] Of course not. After that man grabbed me I didn't have a chance. [DOCTOR] Never mind, never mind. Is the taranium safe? [STEVEN] Yes. Over there. [SARA] Oh, I'd forgotten about the Daleks. [DOCTOR] Now, that's one thing you mustn't do, my dear. Remember, theyhave the same type of machines and they can follow us. [STEVEN] Yes. But, they won't have found out about the switch yet. [DOCTOR] No, I sincerely hope not. [SARA] While we have the taranium their plan cannot work. [DOCTOR] I don't think the Daleks will attack the Solar System untilthey've checked their Time Destructor. [STEVEN] Then what can we do? [DOCTOR] Well, I think we might, perhaps, be able to destroy thetaranium before they catch us up. [SARA] I think we've stopped again. [DOCTOR] Yes, we might, we might still be on Earth. Wait a minute. [DOCTOR] Oh, no. The atmosphere has improved considerably. Yes, let'shave a look at the scanner. It might tell us something. [DOCTOR] The door! --------------------------------------- (Wood mill film set) [BLOSSOM] (screaming) Oh, No! No! No! [TRANTON] And then my secret will be safe forever. Ha, ha, ha, ha. [BLOSSOM] (screaming) No! Help me! Somebody help me! [TRANTON] Your cries cannot be heard. The sawmills are miles fromanywhere. Ha, ha. [BLOSSOM] Oh! Somebody! Oh! Stop! Oh! Stop it, stop it, stop it, stopit, stop it! [GREEN] Cut! Cut! Who let those bums in here? [BLOSSOM] Steinberger, they've ruined my scene! Oh! [GREEN] It's that guy, DeMille. He's trying to sabotage me! Get thosebums out of here! [GREEN] Did you see those two? Wait. I want them back here. [BLOSSOM] Oh, Steinberger, what are you going to do about it? [GREEN] Pipe down now. There's no camera running now. Save it for later. [TRANTON] Steinberger, look at my eye. [GREEN] (to a crewman) Hey you! [TRANTON] Look what they've done to my eye. [GREEN] I want those two back here. He's great! [TRANTON] Am I, or am I not, the star of this picture? [GREEN] bigger than Fairbanks! Well, don't just stand there, [TRANTON] Look what they've done to my eye. Look at my eye! Look at myeye! [GREEN] Go get them! --------------------------------------- (Studio corridor) [DOCTOR] Where's Sara? [STEVEN] I must've lost her. Where are we? [DOCTOR] In here quick. --------------------------------------- (Sheik's tent set) [SHEIK] And then I will come to you on my camel,and sweep you away across the desert. [INGMAR] No. No. Terrible! [ASSISTANT] OK, Harry. Cut that at 23 (other words are drowned out as hecontinues the stage instructions) [INGMAR] You've got to give it more feeling. She's not a sack ofpotatoes. [VAMP] No. He is the sack of potatoes. Where did you find him, on arubbish dump? [SHEIK] I resent that! [GREEN] Iggy. Iggy! Did you see them? [INGMAR] Who? Who? [GREEN] A guy and a gal. They just beat the living daylights out of mycamera crew. It was great! [INGMAR] Perhaps you like your film interrupted, but I do not. Please donot interrupt me when I am creating. [MAN] Mister Kenoff? Mister Kenoff? [INGMAR] Knopf. Ingmar Knopf. [MAN] Mister Knopf, Professor Webster's here, sir. [INGMAR] Ah, good. Send him to me at once. I need him in this nextscene. [MAN] Yes, sir. [GREEN] You should have seen him! He was great! Bigger than Fairbanks!I've got to find a name for him! Something suave! [INGMAR] No please, no please, do whatever you like, but leave me alone!Get off my set! I'm trying to make a film! [INGMAR] Who is this girl? If she's one of the harem, why is she wearingthat extraordinary clothing? Tell her to get them off! Send her towardrobe! --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [DOCTOR] No, I must find Sara. [STEVEN] You think she's still in this place? [DOCTOR] I'll try out there first. You wait here. [ASSISTANT] Oh, there you are! Everybody's waiting. [STEVEN] No. Not [ASSISTANT] Don't argue. Come on. [STEVEN] I'm nothing to do with your film. [STEVEN [OC]] Put me down! Put me down!! I have never taken part in ascene I swear. [ASSISTANT] Now where's he got to? We need him to do that scene again. --------------------------------------- (Sheik's tent) [SHEIK] And then I will come toyou. And then I will come to you. And then I willcome to you on my camel and I will sweep you awayacross the desert. [INGMAR] All right. All right. Professor Webster isn't here yet, soplease don't exhaust your capabilities. [SHEIK] Now look here, Mister Kenoff! [INGMAR] Knopf. Ingmar Knopf. [SHEIK] Kenerve. You can't talk to me like that. I am an actor! [VAMP] What? He is not an actor. You are a cheap pig. [SHEIK] Get lost, fraulein. [INGMAR] Professor Webster! Where have you been all this time? [DOCTOR] Hmm? [INGMAR] We've been waiting for you. As our expert on Arabian customs weneed your help. [DOCTOR] Certainly, certainly. My help? Oh, I shall be delighted. Yes.(speaks arabic). [INGMAR] How very good, Professor. [DOCTOR] Doctor, please. [INGMAR] Oh, Doctor! Now this is a rich Sheik's tent. [DOCTOR] Oh, yes. And who is this? [INGMAR] She is an Arabian princess. [DOCTOR] Nonsense! You put some more clothes on, child. Go along. Andwhat's all this? [INGMAR] What are you doing in there? Please, get out. You are in thenext scene, the harem scene, please. [DOCTOR] Come on. To the wardrobe. The wardrobe. [INGMAR] Doctor, where are you going? --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [STEVEN] Sara, where've you been? [SARA] I don't know, but a strange man kept telling me to take myclothes off. [DOCTOR] Now, come along. We must go back to the Tardis. This is amadhouse. It's all full of Arabs. Come along. --------------------------------------- (Wood mill film set) [GREEN] Sure, baby, sure. I know it was a bit of ashock. [BLOSSOM] You're trying to get rid of me. You don't want me as your starany more. [GREEN] Of course I do, baby. You're great. I don't want those kids foryour kind of a picture. [BLOSSOM] But, you said you were going to make him bigger thanFairbanks. I suppose you're going to make her bigger than (lost underbackground dialogue) [GREEN] No, honey, no. She's not that kind of a girl. You're the one I'mgonna make great. Now look. You're gonna,you're gonna take one more take, huh? Please? [BLOSSOM] Oh, all right. But this will be the last time. [GREEN] Sure, sure. Quiet everybody! Set up for a take! [MAN] Set up for a take! [VOICES] Set up for a take! [GREEN] Makeup! [MAN] Makeup! [GREEN] Stop! Stop those two! [MAN] Hey, you two! Come back here! [GREEN] Stop those two! [BLOSSOM] No! No, no, no, no. Oh! [STEVEN] Come on, Sara. [GREEN] Stop those two! [DOCTOR] Come back, you two! [CLOWN] Typical. When you're new around here, they chase you, but aftera while, you're off. [DOCTOR] What's that? [CLOWN] All the time they want something new. New jokes. There aren'tany. [DOCTOR] Aren't there? Well, that's a joke in itself. [CLOWN] Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. ha, ha, ha, ha. --------------------------------------- (Sheik's tent) [INGMAR] What are you two doing? Get them out ofhere. And will you please tell those girls to get changed? [AIDE] Ya, ya, Mister Knopf. --------------------------------------- (Wood mill film set) [CLOWN] Custard pies have been done by Chaplin, soI'm not allowed to. [DOCTOR] Quite, quite. Now would you mind moving [CLOWN] A drink of water, done by Chaplin. Banana skins [CLOWN + DOCTOR] All done by Chaplin. --------------------------------------- (Sheik's tent) [CAMERAMAN] Now we start in close, see? And then we'll dolly back downalong there. [INGMAR] Hey, where's Webster? [GREEN] Which way did they go? [INGMAR] What are you up to? Please, where's Webster? [GREEN] They came through here! Where did they go? [INGMAR] Two fools rushed over there somewhere. [GREEN] Wait! [INGMAR] Where's Webster? Where's Webster?! --------------------------------------- (Wood mill film set) [CLOWN] They They won't even let me do thewallpaper and paste routine. You know why? [DOCTOR] Done by Chaplin. [CLOWN] Yeah. [DOCTOR] Now would you excuse me? [CLOWN] I'll tell you something. That little Englishman has doneeverything. I think I'll give it up and take to singing. [DOCTOR] Yes. [CLOWN] But who'd use a singer with a name like Bing Crosby? [DOCTOR] Custard pies and Bing Crosby! Ha! [STEVEN] Doctor! [BLOSSOM] Steinberger, just when are we going to do my scene, huh? [GREEN] What a great trick! They just disappeared! [INGMAR] Webster! Come back! Come back, Webster! Come back! [GREEN] What a great trick. It's the greatest! How's it done? [GREEN] Hey, come back! Where is it? Come back! [WEBSTER] Excuse me. [INGMAR] What do you want? Can't you see I'm busy? [WEBSTER] I'm Professor Webster. [INGMAR] Who? You? [WEBSTER] Yes, Professor Webster. [INGMAR] Darling! --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [SARA] Whatever was that place? [STEVEN] Oh, I've no idea. I'm glad we got away. [SARA] What were they doing? [STEVEN] Your guess is as good as mine. Let's hope we never land thereagain. [SARA] Oh. [DOCTOR] Here we are. [STEVEN] What's this? [DOCTOR] Well, we so rarely get a chance to celebrate, but this time wemust. [SARA] Celebrate? [DOCTOR] Yes. It's Christmas. [SARA] Is it? [DOCTOR] Don't you remember? The police station? Christmas? [STEVEN] So it was, yes. [DOCTOR] Here's a toast. A Happy Christmas to all of us. [SARA] Oh. [STEVEN] Same to you, Doctor. Sara. [DOCTOR] (direct to camera) Incidentally, a Happy Christmas to all ofyou at home! --------------------------------------- (Dalek base) [DALEK 1] Inform the Dalek Supreme that the Time Destructor is ready fortesting. [DALEK 2] Are all circuits operational? [DALEK 1] Yes, the taranium core has been fitted. --------------------------------------- (Dalek Control room) [CELATION] Having had your contribution to thisgreat weapon stolen, it must be a relief to you now that the Dalekshave managed to recover it. [CHEN] Without my help, it is unlikely that they'd have got it back. [TRANTIS] At least that absurd story that it was my people from Trantiswho stole the taranium has been discredited. [CELATION] Yes. They were from Earth, I believe. [CHEN] Only two of them and they are under the influence of somecreature from another galaxy. [TRANTIS] He looked like an Earth creature. [CHEN] That's only a disguise. The Daleks know of him. He is some kindof time and space traveller. [CELATION] Then he is nothing to do with me. We have not yet conqueredthe dimension of time. [CHEN] I hear your experiments in that field are progressing, Trantis. [TRANTIS] We have not yet succeeded. Only the Daleks know how to breakthe time barrier. [CELATION] And this other creature, from wherever he comes. [CHEN] Oh, he's of no importance now. After all, we're here to witnessthe testing of the Time Destructor, are we not? [BLACK] All is ready? [DALEK] It is. [BLACK] Programme it for testing. [DALEK] All that is needed is a subject. [BLACK] The subject has been selected. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [SARA] What do you mean, you don't know? [DOCTOR] My dear, this machine can only tell us we're being followed,,ot who by. [STEVEN] It must be the Daleks. [DOCTOR] Yes, a hasty conclusion, but possibly right. Although I don'tunderstand how they could have tested that taranium so quickly. [SARA] We must get back to the planet Kembel. [DOCTOR] Oh, nonsense, my dear. [SARA] We must. We've got to destroy the Daleks' invasion fleet. --------------------------------------- (Dalek Control room) [CELATION] I wonder why they chose him? [CHEN] It was his own choice really. [CELATION] What do you mean? [CHEN] He was so eager to make a contribution to the time destructorthat they've let him make one. His life. [BLACK] Prepare to activate the time destructor. [DALEK] Are the other two creatures to be present at the destruction?` [BLACK] Yes. Their greed for power is so great that they can be trusted.Activate the machine. [DALEK] I obey. [CHEN] So that's what's supposed to happen. A kind of abject insanity. [CELATION] I do not know, though I always thought Trantis was a littleunstable anyway. [CHEN] Nothing's happening to him. [CELATION] The Time Destructor does not work. [CHEN] But that's impossible. It must work. It must. [BLACK] The destructor is having no effect. [DALEK] The mechanism is functioning perfectly. The fault is in thetaranium! [BLACK] The taranium core has failed. [CHEN] It can't be true. There must be some mistake. [BLACK] The Daleks do not make mistakes. You have lied to us. You havenot given us the taranium. [CHEN] Why should I lie? I can only benefit from my alliance with you. Ibrought you taranium, the real taranium. [BLACK] The core is worthless. [CHEN] No! No, it can't be. It came from Uranus. I know it did. [BLACK] We fitted the core you gave us. It has failed to activate theTime Destructor, therefore it is not taranium. [CHEN] It was the old man, that time-traveller. [CELATION] What? [CHEN] He must have changed it. [CELATION] But it was you who said that what he gave you was thetaranium core. [CHEN] I know, but I didn't check. How could I? The old man fooled us.The Daleks should have checked before they fitted it, before they letthe old man go. [BLACK] Report to Skaro. They must send a time machine to usimmediately. [DALEK] I obey. [BLACK] You will both wait here. [CELATION] But this is nothing to do with me. I was invited as anobserver. [BLACK] Very well, you can return to your section. You, Mavic Chen, willwait here for the arrival of the time machine. [CHEN] Yes. [DALEK] What about the subject? [BLACK] The subject? Exterminate him. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [STEVEN] It's still following us. [DOCTOR] Yes, yes. [SARA] When are we going to land? [DOCTOR] Pretty soon, my dear, pretty soon. [SARA] And I thought you knew what you were doing. [DOCTOR] I know full well what I'm doing, child. Now don't get soexcited. [STEVEN] They're getting closer, Doctor. [DOCTOR] Hmm? Yes, I see. Yes, I must do something drastic. [SARA] What are you doing? [DOCTOR] Landing, my dear. That's what you wanted, wasn't it? --------------------------------------- (Cricket ground) [TREVOR] Well, the English batsmen are really fighting against the clocknow, Scott. [SCOTT] (Australian) My word, yes. Seventy eight runs in forty fiveminutes to win. [TREVOR] It really has been an exciting game, hasn't it, Scott? [SCOTT] Very exciting. [TREVOR] Well, let's have a look at the scoreboard, shall we? Now,you'll see. Goodness me, take a look at that, Scott. [SCOTT] Take a look at what, Trev? [TREVOR] There's a police telephone box on the pitch. [SCOTT] My word, yes. [TREVOR] Well this really is extraordinary. You don't remember anythinglike this happening before, do you, Scott? [SCOTT] No. No. [TREVOR] Well, anyway, Ross is looking through the record books and ifthere has been anything like it before, I'm sure he'll find it for us. [SCOTT] You know, Trev, this puts a new light on the game. [TREVOR] What light's that, Scott? [SCOTT] Well, I know your ground staff are excellent, but even assumingthey get rid of it in say, ten minutes, England will still have to gettheir seventy eight runs in thirty five minutes. [TREVOR] Yes. Yes, well I think we can safely say this has been a verybad break for England. [SCOTT] A very bad break. Especially as the weather's been holding offso well. [TREVOR] Yes, it has, hasn't it. Been holding off remarkably well. Well,let's have another look at the scoreboard shall we, although not verymuch has been happening these last few [SCOTT] It's making a funny noise. [TREVOR] What's that, Scott? [SCOTT] A funny noise coming from the police box. [SCOTT] It's gone again, Trev. [TREVOR] Yes, so it has. Well, that wasn't too bad was it, Scott? [SCOTT] Two and a half minutes, I make it, Trev. [TREVOR] Yes, well there's the position. England wanting seventy eightruns in forty two and a half minutes to win. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] Yes, it's definitely some sportingoccasion. [SARA] Oh, I hardly think so, Doctor. [STEVEN] Was it on Earth, do you think? [DOCTOR] Oh, possibly, my dear fellow, possibly. [STEVEN] Yes, well, wherever it was, there's still someone on our tail.Here, look at this. [DOCTOR] Yes, my plan hasn't worked. Following us closely. --------------------------------------- (Dalek Control room) [DALEK] Your order has been carried out. The time machine is ready tocommence operations. [BLACK] Excellent. Organise a task force for the pursuit of the timetravellers. [DALEK] I obey. [BLACK] Ascertain their position on the space time scope. [DALEK] I obey. [BLACK] Mavic Chen, you will accompany the task force. You will ensurethat the taranium core is returned to Kembel. [CHEN] Of course. I shall do everything in my power. [BLACK] If you fail, or if we find that you have deceived us, you willsuffer the same fate as the time travellers. Annihilation! --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [SARA] Where are we, Doctor? Do you know? [STEVEN] It doesn't look very pleasant, does it? [DOCTOR] No, we must take off quite soon. [SARA] It's stopped. [STEVEN] What does that mean, Doctor? Have we shaken it off? [DOCTOR] No, my boy, we haven't shaken them off. Whoever it wasfollowing us has landed. They've landed out there. --------------------------------------- (Planet surface) [STEVEN] You know, Doctor, it would help if we knewwhat we were looking for. [SARA] I still say it was madness to come out here. We should have takenoff again or tried to get back to Kembel. [DOCTOR] My dear young girl, what good would it be to run away? Thesooner we find who's pursuing us the better. [STEVEN] Hey! Hey, this is hot. [DOCTOR] Yes, well, I can well imagine that. This is a new planet, myboy. It's cooling down, cooling down. Fascinating. Yes, extremelyfascinating. I wonder? I wonder who'd take the time and trouble tofollow us? Yes, I think there is an explanation, but unlikely.Possible, very possible. [DOCTOR] Hello there! Hello! Don't you think we should meet and talk itover? [STEVEN] Doctor, who are we waiting for? [DOCTOR] Oh, you'll see, my boy, you'll see. [STEVEN] Oh, come on, tell us, otherwise you'll say you're right whoeverwe meet. [DOCTOR] You lack one quality of all the others, my boy, and that ispatience. [SARA] Doctor, look! [DOCTOR] Ah, tut, tut, tut, my dear Monk. Now don't be so ridiculous.Put that down at once. [MONK] Well, hello, Doctor. Keeping well? [DOCTOR] Oh, no complaints, no. And you? [MONK] Oh, so so, you know, just so so. [SARA] Who is it? [MONK] Delighted to see you again, young man. [STEVEN] Thanks. I wish I could say the same for you. [DOCTOR] I suppose congratulations for your escape are quite in order. [MONK] Oh, thank you. Most kind of you, Doctor. Yes, it took a bit oftime, but I finally managed to bypass the dimensional controller. [DOCTOR] Yes, a very interesting solution, yes, I'm sure, though I thinkit would make for rather an uncomfortable ride. However, I don'tsuppose it affected you very much, being an amateur. [MONK] Yes, it was rather uncomfortable, but then, we can't haveeverything, can we? As for being an amateur, we shall see. Anyway, itwas better than 1066. [DOCTOR] Yes, I suppose so. [SARA] What's he talking about, 1066? [STEVEN] It's all right. We've met the Monk once before. I'll explainlater. [DOCTOR] And you returned here for one obvious reason, did you not? [MONK] I'm afraid so, Doctor. Revenge is a strange thing, isn't it? [DOCTOR] Yes, yes, quite, quite. Tell me, any plans? [MONK] And all carried out as well. Oh, ho. Doctor, you remember youleft me in 1066? Now I've marooned you on the planet Tigus. Look! Oh,it's funny this. Forgive me laughing, Doctor, but I don't seem to beable to control it. Well, goodbye, Doctor. Perhaps I'll come back oneday and rescue you. [STEVEN] Hey, wait a minute. [DOCTOR] Don't waste your breath, young man. The most important thingis, is to find out what he's done to the Tardis. Come on. --------------------------------------- (Outside the Tardis) [DOCTOR] Reset the lock mechanism. He probably used some kind of ray. [SARA] What does that mean? [DOCTOR] That means we cannot get back into the Tardis, child! [DOCTOR] Oh, you will achieve nothing, dear boy, nothing. [SARA] Yes, perhaps, but it's better than just accepting everything. [DOCTOR] Yes, like I am, I suppose? [STEVEN] Well, you haven't been taking much interest have you, Doctor? [DOCTOR] Oh, and why not, dear boy, why not? Because I am using mybrain. I'm trying to solve this problem. [DOCTOR] Now just stand back and cover your eyes, please. [STEVEN] What does that do? [DOCTOR] Perhaps nothing, perhaps everything. Will you do as you're toldat once. Cover your eyes, please. [SARA] It hasn't worked. [DOCTOR] Wait a moment, child. [DOCTOR] Now try. [STEVEN] You're a genius, Doctor. [DOCTOR] Yes, I know, my boy. I know. [MONK] Oh, no, no. Don't think I'm going to leave it at this. Youhaven't heard the last of me, Doctor. You haven't heard the last of me! --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [STEVEN] If you ask me, we haven't heard the lastof that monk. [DOCTOR] Quite so, dear boy. He'll be on our trail again as fast as hecan get going. [SARA] Yes, but next time we'll be expecting him. [DOCTOR] Exactly, my dear, exactly. Now, Steven, there's something Iwant you to do. Go to that indicator and let me know the instant theMonk's Tardis registers. [STEVEN] Yes, all right, but first you tell us something. How did youbreak that lock? [DOCTOR] Oh, that's all very simple, dear boy. You see the sun in thatparticular galaxy has very unusual powers. I merely reflected itspowers through that ring. [SARA] Is there something special about it? [DOCTOR] Yes, it has certain properties. The combined forces of that suntogether with the stone in that ring was sufficient enough to correctthe Monk's interference. [STEVEN] Yes, but what properties has it? [DOCTOR] Now, I don't want to discuss this anymore. Please, about turn,and do as you're told. Go along. --------------------------------------- (Dalek Control room) [DALEK] The task force is now aboard. [BLACK] Commence count down. [DALEK 2] The enemy ship is preparing to land. [BLACK] Compute their bearing and advise task force. Task force will usethe homing beam. [DALEK] Enemy ship located. Space time bearing, planet Earth, London,1966. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [STEVEN] Well, you won't be able to carry out your repairs here, Doctor. [DOCTOR] No. [SARA] It's some sort of celebration, isn't it? [DOCTOR] I don't quite know, you just listen, my dear, listen. --------------------------------------- (Dalek Control room) [DALEK [OC]] Twenty two, twenty one, twenty,nineteen, eighteen --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] It's Earth. I've seen that place before. [SARA] What do you think they're celebrating? [DOCTOR] Well, as far as I can remember, I've seen them behave in afashion like that on a former occasion. [STEVEN] What was that? [DOCTOR] The Relief of Mafeking. --------------------------------------- (Dalek Control room) [DALEK [OC]] Four, three, two, one, zero. [BLACK] Report to Skaro. Our time machine is now in pursuit. Nothing canmatch Dalek technology. The universe shall be ours. Conquest isassured. [ALL] Conquest! Conquest! Conquest! Conquest! Conquest! --------------------------------------- (Dalek Time machine) [RED] Mavic Chen, the recovery of the taranium core is yourresponsibility. [CHEN] I welcome it. Guile and cunning will succeed where force wouldfail. [RED] Once the taranium core is in your possession, we shall eliminatethe humans. [CHEN] Of course. [CHEN] And I assume that that is where they've landed? [RED] You are correct and we shall arrive shortly. In four Earthminutes. [CHEN] They must have equipment in their ship. Equipment that wouldinform them of our pursuit. [DALEK 1] The time traveller is making no attempt to take off. [CHEN] That's very strange. Why should they choose to wait and face us? --------------------------------------- (Outside the Tardis) [STEVEN] How long is it going to take you to mend the lock, Doctor? [DOCTOR] Well, it's hard to say, my boy, but I think that its going tobe a little more difficult than I thought. [STEVEN] Oh yes, and the other time machine is still registering. [DOCTOR] Yes, but I don't think so for much longer. It's about time youknow that that wretched Monk landed and I think he will quite soon. [STEVEN] Well, it's quite impressive isn't it? [DOCTOR] Well, yes, the pyramids are the seventh wonder of this ancientworld, I should say the word impressive is rather an understatement. [STEVEN] Yes, you could be right. Well, they've finished it you think?There doesn't seem to be anyone around. [DOCTOR] Would you mind passing me the diatrab, dear boy, please. [DOCTOR] I said the diatrab. I said the diatrab. [STEVEN] There's not much cover, is there? If the Monk's Tardis landsthis side of the pyramid, we should see it easily however it disguisesitself. You know, I think I'll take a look from up there, It'll give mea better view. [DOCTOR] Yes, I think perhaps it would be a good idea if you keep youreye on the Monk, so if you climb higher. Talking to myself. --------------------------------------- (Dalek Time machine) [DALEK 1] Stand by for materialisation. [DALEK 2] Continuum stabiliser reading four, three, two, one, zero! [DALEK 1] Materialising now! --------------------------------------- (Outside the Tardis) [STEVEN [OC]] Doctor! Doctor, I can see it. I saw it land! Doctor! [STEVEN] Doctor [DOCTOR] Calm down. Calm down. What's all the fuss? Is that you bawlingyour head off? [STEVEN] Yes, I saw it land over there. [SARA] Doctor, whatever was following us has stopped registering on thetime curve indicator. [STEVEN] It's over there, Sara. About a quarter of a mile away. [DOCTOR] Now that's very good. Yes, very good. Now, please excuse me. [STEVEN] Well, oughtn't we to take the initiative, and go and meet theMonk? [DOCTOR] Oh, my dear young man, I have no intention of leaving theTardis unlocked. And another thing you should know. Do you realise Ihad to strip the whole of this mechanism down before I could put itright. [STEVEN] How long are you going to be? [DOCTOR] Oh, I don't know. But anyway I dare say I can catch you upsomewhere. But be careful. You know that Monk can be very harmful if hewants to. [STEVEN] Don't worry Doctor, we'll watch him. --------------------------------------- (Compound) [TUTHMOS] Master! Strangers at the tomb! [HYKSOS] Come! --------------------------------------- (Gaza platform) [STEVEN] Well, it didn't work this time, did it? [SARA] What hasn't? [STEVEN] The Monk's Tardis. It usually blends in with it's surroundingslike the Doctor's should. [SARA] Maybe the Monk didn't bother this time. [STEVEN] Yes, maybe, but I thought it was automatic. Anyway, let's takea look. [STEVEN] Daleks! [SARA] I knew we should have tried to get back to Kembel. [STEVEN] It's a bit late for that now. We've got to warn the Doctor.Come on. [HYKSOS] Take them away! [HYKSOS] The rest of you follow me. More of them! [HYKSOS] Seize them! [HYKSOS] Seize them, you cowards! [RED] Exterminate the creatures. Pursue and exterminate. [HYKSOS] Tuthmos, a slaughter! I must fetch reinforcements. [(The surviving guards retreat to safety, taking Steven and Sara withthem. Elsewhere, Chen emerges from where he's hidden during thefighting. DALEK 1] Did we sustain damage? [DALEK 2] No. It was only inhabitants of this time and planet. [DALEK 3] Unimportant. [DALEK 1] Exterminate them on sight. --------------------------------------- (Outside the Tardis) [DOCTOR] Well, that's finished. Now I must go. I wonder where thoseother two are now. Sara? Steven? --------------------------------------- (Pyramid) [DOCTOR] Who was it landed here before, then? The Daleks! --------------------------------------- (Compound) [HYKSOS] Plunderers! Murderers! [KHEPHREN] What of the others? [HYKSOS] I will journey to the next encampment. We'll need an army to dobattle with their fire-throwing machines. [KHEPHREN] Yes, and I will take my slaves to the tomb. The treasuresthat Pharaoh has sent for his journey to the afterlife will be placedinside. There they will be easier to guard. [HYKSOS] I will return when the sun is above us. [STEVEN] How long are you going to keep us here? [SARA] Yes. [TUTHMOS] Until your friends have been brought to join you. Then youwill answer for your crimes. [STEVEN] We haven't got anything to answer for. We're not interested inyour treasures. [TUTHMOS] Not even the old man? [STEVEN] Not even the old man. [TUTHMOS] Then why did he examine so carefully that large blue box? [STEVEN] Well, probably because the large blue box was his. [TUTHMOS] Now, I know you lie. Everything the slaves hauled here acrossthe desert belongs to Pharaoh> [STEVEN] What are you doing? [SARA] While you were talking, I managed to find a piece of brokenpottery. With a bit of time I think I can get though these bonds. [STEVEN] Great. Keep sawing. --------------------------------------- (Pyramid) [MONK] Good morning, my son. [MONK] A Dalek! [CHEN] Wait! Don't fire! [DALEK] Dalek exterminations will not be questioned. [CHEN] This could help us recover the taranium core. [DALEK] Explain. [CHEN] In a moment. So, you have heard of the Daleks? [MONK] Yes, yes, by reputation. [CHEN] Then you are certainly not of this time. [MONK] No, oh no, certainly not, no. Just a passing time travelleranxious to be on his way, so if you'll excuse me I'll [DALEK] Halt! [CHEN] Three time machines in one infinitesimal speck of space and time.Of course, a coincidence is possible, but hardly likely. You wouldagree? [MONK] Oh, yes, I would agree. [CHEN] Then why have you arrived here? [MONK] Three, three time-machines? Yes, well, the odd one out belongs toa certain Doctor. [DALEK] The enemy ship! [MONK] Yes, that's right. The enemy. I have an old score to settle withhim, but I'm sure yours is the prior claim. [CHEN] He is a friend of yours? [MONK] Friend? No, no, an enemy. An enemy to end all enemies! I camehere to inflict a terrible vengeance on him. I mean, we're all on thesame side here, aren't we. [CHEN] But he knows you. [MONK] Well, er, in a manner of speaking, yes, and again in anothermanner of speaking, no. [CHEN] Could you gain his confidence? [MONK] Certainly, certainly. If you wanted me to. Oh, there's noquestion about it. No doubt at all. [CHEN] Then you may have a slight chance of saving your life. The Doctorand his friends have in their possession a full emm of taranium. [MONK] A full emm of taranium. [CHEN] It belongs to the Daleks. You will recover this and return it tous within one Earth hour. [MONK] Oh, I will. I promise. [CHEN] And I need hardly remind you that the Daleks will reward failureon your part with elimination. [MONK] Elimination. Thank you. Elimination! Oh, you'll get it back, haveno fear. [CHEN] Then you'd better leave at once, and waste no more of yourvaluable time. --------------------------------------- (Gaza platform) (Outside the Monk's Tardis) [DOCTOR] Good heavens. You're given an opportunity you didn't before. --------------------------------------- (Compound) [STEVEN] How's it going? [SARA] I think that's done it. Yes. [STEVEN] Now for those guards. [SARA] Come on! [(Attacking from behind, Steven and Sara take the three guards bysurprise. As Steven struggles to bring the largest man down, Sara grabsanother and chops proficiently at his exposed neck. The guard drops tothe ground. The third man closes in on Sara. Spinning round she kickshim hard in his stomach, winding him. Before he can catch his breath,Sara grabs his head and smacks it against the wall, sending theunfortunate guard crashing to the floor. Steven is still struggling.Wading in to help, Sara delivers a knockout punch. As Steven gets tohis feet, Sara eyes him approvingly.) SARA] Not bad. Remind me to teachyou a few tricks sometime. [STEVEN] Remind me not to pick a fight with you. Come on. --------------------------------------- (Gaza platform) (Inside the Pyramid) [DOCTOR] You're wasting your time. You won't get in. [MONK] Doctor, you've been following me. [DOCTOR] For a time, yes, for a time. I've been glad to. You know, Idon't think I would have found my Tardis without the help of thatenergy counter. [MONK] No. Come in very handy, hasn't it? You know, Doctor, if yourmachine would blend in with its surroundings, people wouldn't be ableto find it and then we wouldn't have all this trouble. [DOCTOR] Yes, like your machine, I suppose. [MONK] Exactly, Doctor. Like mine. I could teach you a thing or two, youknow. [DOCTOR] Well, you know, my way has its advantages. The Egyptiansthought it was a very good idea, otherwise they wouldn't have broughtit in here. As for your machine, well, it's probably disguised as awhat, a sort of a block of stone? [MONK] Now, Doctor, it's a pity we're having this feud, you know. Oh, bythe way, you didn't track me on your time curve indicator this time,did you? [DOCTOR] Not your machine, no. I didn't realise it at the time. [MONK] I jump crossed the track. [DOCTOR] Really? [MONK] It's simple, really, you know, Doctor. I mean, it's up to you, ofcourse. If you'd like to come inside, I'll show you how it was done. [DOCTOR] And then you would be able to see the taranium, too. [MONK] Yes, yes. Do you know, I knew there was something I had to tellyou. I've come here to warn you about the Daleks. [DOCTOR] Warn me? [MONK] Yes. Oh, I played them along their own game of course for quite atime but they don't like you, you know. They don't like you at all. [DOCTOR] Why didn't you? [MONK] What? [DOCTOR] Warn me. [MONK] Oh well, you were talking at the time. I didn't want tointerrupt. [DOCTOR] You know, I think before I go, I should put you safely out ofthe way. [MONK] Oh, come now, Doctor. Surely you don't think I was going to helpthe Daleks? [DOCTOR] I did. [MONK] Now, Doctor, look, let's talk this over like civilisedtime-travellers. It's the taranium core they want, not you. Why don'tyou give it to them then we can be all on our way. [DOCTOR] If you believe that, my friend, you will believe anything! [MONK] Doctor, don't do anything you might regret. Doctor. Doctor! --------------------------------------- (Dalek Time machine) [RED] Give your report. [DALEK] The time-traveller has not made contact. [RED] He has betrayed us. Prepare a task force to attack. All the humanswill be exterminated. [DALEK 2] I obey. --------------------------------------- (Gaza platform) [SARA] The Tardis! It's gone! [STEVEN] Well, the Egyptians must have taken it into the tomb already.Come on! --------------------------------------- (Inside the pyramid) [STEVEN [OC]] Doctor! Doctor! [STEVEN] Doctor? [STEVEN] Doctor? No Doctor. [SARA] Unless he's inside. [STEVEN] Doctor! Doctor! [SARA] Steven. [SARA] Steven, look. --------------------------------------- (Inside the pyramid) [STEVEN] He's trying to say something. [MONK] Well, thank goodness for that! --------------------------------------- (Dalek Time machine) [DALEK] The plan has failed. [CHEN] We can't be certain. Although the time travelling Monk has notyet contracted us, we don't know what difficulties he's had to face. [DALEK] The Earth hour allowed has expired. [CHEN] In the present situation we can't afford to measure time exactly. [DALEK] The time traveller has deceived us! [CHEN] I don't think so. He dare not. Will the Daleks never learn thatall things do not work to a pattern? That flexibility can also lead toconquest. [DALEK] Silence! All Daleks will disembark. All forms of life will betreated as hostile. [DALEKS] We obey! [DALEK] You, Chen, will come with us. [CHEN] But recovery of the taranium core was made my responsibility [DALEK] Orders will not be questioned! [CHEN] If you insist on this approach, I fail to see how I can be madeto answer for the consequences. --------------------------------------- (Inside the pyramid) [STEVEN] And it was the Doctor who did this?! [MONK] Yes. It's unbelievable, isn't it. Absolutely unbelievable. Iadmit I succumbed to temptation [SARA] What did the Doctor say? [MONK] Well, he didn't say anything really. Nothing. There I was, tryingto warn him of the Daleks and suddenly there I was in the sarcophagus. [SARA] Oh, well I'm sure he'll apologise when he hears your story. [MONK] Well, of course, I'm not one to bear a grudge, and we all knowwhat the Doctor's like. No, I think it was just one of those things. [STEVEN] Where do he go? [MONK] I'm afraid I don't know. Unfortunately, immediately after thisbrutal attack, the next thing I remember was [SARA] He probably gone looking for us. [STEVEN] Well then, what do we do? Go out again and take a chance onmissing him, or stay here? [SARA] If he meets the Daleks he'll need our help. [MONK] Stay here, definitely. I've got a terrible headache. [STEVEN] What happens if we meet them? [SARA] We just have to take that chance. [MONK] No doubt the Doctor's got some some drug or other. [STEVEN] All right, but I won't pretend that I like the idea. [MONK] Well, if you give me the key to the Tardis [SARA] What about him? [MONK] I can go and get something out. [STEVEN] He can come with us. That way we can keep an eye on him. [SARA] Come on, then. [MONK] Oh dear. [STEVEN] What are you waiting for? [MONK] Well, are you going to let me into the Tardis or not? [STEVEN] I couldn't even if I wanted to. The Doctor's the only one witha key. [MONK] Oh. [STEVEN] Come on, we'll find him. [MONK] That's what I'm worried about. --------------------------------------- (Outside the Pyramid) [STEVEN [OC]] Doctor! Doctor! [STEVEN] Doctor, where are you? [MONK] Doctor. Doctor. There you are, you see. You'll wasting your time. [SARA] Doctor! It's hopeless. [STEVEN] Yes, I know it is. But what else can we do? [MONK] Ah, there you are. I'm been looking for you. [SARA] Who's that? [DALEK] You will join the other human. Move! [DALEK 1] Prepare to exterminate them. [MONK] Exterminate? What, when I've fulfilled our part of the bargain? [CHEN] Give me the taranium core! [MONK] I, I haven't actually got the core, but I've brought youhostages. [STEVEN] Hostages? [CHEN] Hostages. Yes, that could work. The Doctor's loyalty to hisfriends is beyond question. [DALEK] No more discussion. [CHEN] In exchange for their lives, the Doctor would hand us the core ofthe time destructor. [DALEK] Is that true? [CHEN] Their silence confirms that it. They know that it's true. [DALEK] Take them back to the time machine. [DALEK 1] I obey. [MONK] Well, now that little problem's settled, I think I'd better [DALEK] You will return with us! [MONK] Return with you. That was what I was going to say. --------------------------------------- (Khephren's workshop) [TUTHMOS] Master. The prisoners escaped [KHEPHREN] Escaped? We left the tomb unsealed. [TUTHMOS] We must take the men and go after them. [KHEPHREN] No, the war machines would destroy us all. Hyksos said hewould return when the sun was above us. See, we do not have long towait. --------------------------------------- (Dalek Time machine) [DALEK 1] The voice audio has been adjusted. [DALEK] What is its present range? [DALEK 1] Seven earth miles. [DALEK] Mavic Chen can issue the ultimatum. Bring Chen to the voiceaudio. [DALEK 2] I obey. [MONK] Well now, there seems to be quite a bit of activity going on.What's the matter? Is it something I've said? [STEVEN] Don't you think you've done enough? [MONK] Done enough? Yes, I suppose that saving your life [SARA] What? [MONK] Well, we're all here, aren't we? It was very quick thinking on mypart. Very quick indeed. [STEVEN] I don't believe it! [MONK] Do you mean to say you actually think I meant what I said to theDaleks? My dear fellow, this was a desperate gamble, risking my ownlife to save yours. [STEVEN] We can trust him about as much as we can trust the Daleks. [MONK] You mean my performance was that good? I knew I had to fool theDaleks, but I thought you would see through it. [SARA] He could be telling the truth, Steven. [MONK] Only could be? You don't think I'd take the side of thesecreatures against you, do you? You do. Honestly, this baffles me,destroys my faith in human nature. [STEVEN] Yes, well you can have your faith destroyed. [SARA] Stephen. [DALEK] Speak the ultimatum into the voice audio. [CHEN] Doctor? Doctor, you should be able to hear me now, wherever youare. [DALEK] Continue, voice audio is functioning. [SARA] A kind of loudspeaker system. [STEVEN] Yes. Maybe it would be better if the Doctor didn't hear it. --------------------------------------- (Desert) [CHEN [OC]] Doctor, listen carefully to what I have to say. It isuseless to try to fight us any more. Your two young friends are heldprisoners by the Daleks. You know why we have pursued you through timeand space. We want the taranium that you stole. You are to proceed tothe Dalek time machine, south of the Great Pyramid, and receive yourinstructions. The vital core will be returned to us. Failure will meanthe death of your friends. --------------------------------------- (Khephren's workshop) [TUTHMOS] Master, It is the voice of the gods. [KHEPHREN] No, Tuthmos. The gods would speak words we understood. [TUTHMOS] Who else but the gods could speak in a voice like thunder? [KHEPHREN] The same mortals who would build war machines that throwfire. When Hyksos returns, you will see the end of your gods. --------------------------------------- (Dalek Time machine) [CHEN] For your sake, I hope the Doctor does not keep us waiting long. [SARA] We might try to warn the Doctor. [MONK] Warn him? Whatever for? [SARA] If one of us could get to that microphone. [STEVEN] No, Sara, it wouldn't stop him coming here. It'd probably makehim more determined. [DOCTOR [OC]] All right, I'm here. Tell me what you want me to do. --------------------------------------- (Outside the Dalek Time machine) [DOCTOR] I am here. Can you hear me? [CHEN] Yes, Doctor. We heard you. [DOCTOR] Where are they? [CHEN] Now come, Doctor. [DOCTOR] Where are they! [CHEN] It seems that the Doctor requires proof of what we say. [DALEK] Put the prisoners on view. [CHEN] We want the taranium core back Doctor, and there's nothing youcan do to stop us now. [MONK] Hello, Doctor. [DALEK] Silence! [DOCTOR] Very well, I will hand over the taranium core. [CHEN] Ah. Very wise. [DOCTOR] But on my terms. [CHEN] You are in no position to make demands, Doctor. A Dalek escortwill [DOCTOR] No escort, and on my terms. [DALEK] We could exterminate you now. [DOCTOR] Yes, indeed. Indeed you could, but then you'd never get backthe taranium core, would you now, hmm? Would you? [CHEN] What are your terms, Doctor? [DOCTOR] You will release your prisoners. I also include that Monkfellow too, though I don't know why I should bother with him. Bring allthree to the place of rendezvous, and hand them over at the same time. [CHEN] Why can't you come here? [DOCTOR] You should know the answer to that as well as I do. None of youcan be trusted. You and one Dalek, at the west angle of the GreatPyramid. [DALEK] We accept. Take the prisoners inside. [CHEN] I should go now, Doctor, before the Daleks change their minds. [CHEN] I'm surprised that you met his terms so readily. [DALEK] One Dalek is capable of exterminating all! --------------------------------------- (Khephren's workshop) [HYKSOS] Khephren! [KHEPHREN] Have you enough men? [HYKSOS] Yes. They are already moving into position and waiting for mycommand. Have the war machines been seen? [KHEPHREN] No, but we have heard them speak with a mighty roar! [HYKSOS] My men will soon destroy them! Come! --------------------------------------- (Dalek Time machine) [DALEK] It is time for the rendezvous. [CHEN] You heard what the Dalek said. [STEVEN] If you try any more of your funny business, I'll exterminateyou myself. [MONK] Funny business? Me? --------------------------------------- (Outside the Dalek Time machine) [HYKSOS] Be on your guard. The war machines of firewill destroy without warning. Follow me. --------------------------------------- (Outside the Pyramid) [RED] Halt. This is the location. Mavic Chen, youwill receive the taranium. [CHEN] Yes, of course. [DALEK] There will no movement from you until the hand over iscompleted. [MONK] It's not being done on your terms, Why don't you shut up? [DOCTOR [OC]] Stay where you are. You will move when I tell you to. [DOCTOR] Mavic Chen, walk towards me. Dalek, halt! Mavic Chen, you havedisregard my conditions. I said one Dalek. [CHEN] But I am not their master. [DOCTOR] Before we go any further, you will release your hostages. Then,and only then, will I hand you the taranium core. [STEVEN] Don't trust them, Doctor! [DALEK] You are released. [DOCTOR] Away, all of you. Mavic Chen, join me at the back here. I amnow about to hand over the taranium core to Mavic Chen. Follow me. [HYKSOS] Smash the war machines! Smash them to bits! [DALEK] Attack formation. [DALEK] Help! Help! --------------------------------------- (Tomb) [STEVEN] You did it, Doctor. We got away again. [DOCTOR] I'm afraid not, young man. [SARA] Why not, Doctor? What went wrong? [DOCTOR] I had to hand the real taranium core over to Mavic Chen. I knowI should have tried to get him but it was hopeless. There was so muchchaos going on, and now it's too late. [SARA] That means that the Daleks have won. There's nothing to stop themnow. [DOCTOR] Except this. [SARA] What's that? [DOCTOR] That is the directional unit from the Monk's Tardis. [STEVEN] Directional? But with this we can get back to Kembel. [DOCTOR] Perhaps, perhaps. [SARA] But that's marvellous, Doctor. [DOCTOR] Yes, I suppose it is. But that isn't all, my dear. [STEVEN] No, I'm sure it isn't Doctor, but this is hardly the time orthe place to tell us about it. I mean, the Daleks will be here soon. [DOCTOR] I think not, dear boy. I had to take precautionary measures incase my plans didn't work. Now whilst I was collecting that unit, Ichanged the Monk's Tardis into a police telephone box. [SARA] Like yours. [DOCTOR] Yes, yes, exactly like mine. Well of course the Daleks will beon our track but I think, should my plan succeed, they will find theMonk. [STEVEN] By the way, what happened to him? He was with us. [DOCTOR] I don't care if he's in Timbuktu. --------------------------------------- (Outside the Monk's Tardis) [MONK] I got away from that Steven and Sara. Oh.The Doctor. He transformed my Tardis. [DALEK [OC]] There is one of the time travellers. Stop his escape.Exterminate him! Exterminate him! [DALEK] Combined fire! [DALEK] They have escaped. We shall pursue them through eternity. Thetaranium core must be recovered! [CHEN] This patrol is obviously out of touch with events. [DALEK] What do you mean? [CHEN] All this hysteria is unnecessary. The operation was a completesuccess. I have the taranium here. [DALEK] You have done well. Patrol, return to the time-machine. We mustleave for Kembel at once. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [STEVEN] Yes, well, I hope the Daleks don't catchthe Monk. [SARA] After all that he's done? [STEVEN] Yes, even after all that. [DOCTOR] Oh, I shouldn't worry any more, my dear boy. There's no doubtabout it, he's right away by now. [STEVEN] Do you think he'll come looking for revenge again? [DOCTOR] Perhaps, yes. Perhaps one day. At the moment, I should say thathe's had quite enough for us for a while. Having taken his directionalunit, it will take him quite a time to make the necessary repairs tohis ship. [SARA] What about our repairs? Will the unit work? [DOCTOR] Well, I'm not certain. It's a Mark four, remember. There aretwo possibilities. One, it would work. [STEVEN] Go on, Doctor. [DOCTOR] Number two, the increased energy rate will certainly destroythe centre column. [SARA] But we do have a chance? [DOCTOR] Yes, my dear. A chance. A slim one. --------------------------------------- (Dalek Time machine) [DALEK] Course for Kembel has now been computed. [DALEK 2] Has all preparations for take-off being made? [DALEK] They have. [DALEK 2] Prepare to dematerialise now. --------------------------------------- (Ice planet) [MONK] A planet of ice? I didn't set course for this. The Doctor again.The Doctor. He's stolen my directional unit. Now I'll have to wanderthrough time and space as lost as he is. I'll get you for this, Doctor!I'll get you one day! --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] There we are. That's finished. It's a pitywe haven't got a more reliable way of testing it. [SARA] Well, come on, I thought you said that it's was finished. [DOCTOR] Oh yes, it is finished, my dear. But, er. [STEVEN] Oh, come on, Doctor. We haven't got time for buts. This is ouronly hope. [DOCTOR] Yes. You realise, of course, we're taking a terrible chance. [STEVEN] You can save your breath. We've got to try it. [DOCTOR] Very well, my boy. Pull the main switch. --------------------------------------- (Dalek Control centre) [CHEN] The mission has been completed successfully. With guile andcunning, I have been able to repossess the taranium. [BLACK] Are you certain it is the real core? [CHEN] Of course. I had it examined before we arrived here. It is readyto be fitted to the Time Destructor. I hope that the Daleks will notsuffer any more setbacks which could upset the plans for our conquestof the universe. [BLACK] The final conference of the remaining members of the GalacticCouncil awaits you. [CHEN] I shall go and address them, presently. [RED] The task force has disembarked. [BLACK] Excellent. Is the core fitted to the time destructor? [RED] That is being done. Do we now deal with Mavic Chen? [BLACK] No. His arrogance and greed have a further use for us. Alert thecouncil to attend their final conference. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] Well, fortunately there's no damage doneto the control panel itself. [STEVEN] But the directional unit? [DOCTOR] Oh, that's useless, dear boy, useless. Take a look foryourself. [SARA] What happened? [DOCTOR] Well, the unit required a much higher energy rate then wepossess. [SARA] Then why did it burn out and not the Tardis controls? [DOCTOR] A built-in safety measure, my dear. You see, the excess energymust have forced itself back into the directional unit and that meansthat our plans to return to Kembel have failed. [STEVEN] That means that the Daleks can invade the universe and conquerit. [DOCTOR] Yes, and there's nothing that we can do about it. [SARA] There must be something we can do, Doctor. You must try to thinkof some way. [DOCTOR] Well, our only chance, my dear, is to try and capture theMonk's time machine or that of the Daleks. [STEVEN] Yes, well, let's get going. [DOCTOR] Have patience, dear boy. It's highly probable they've all leftby now, and I should think there's one or two of those Egyptiansaround. Let's take a look on the scanner. [SARA] But that's not ancient Egypt. [STEVEN] It's, it's more like Kembel! [DOCTOR] Yes, it's vaguely familiar. It might be Kembel. Do you knowthat means that that directional unit must have burned itself out afterwe'd dematerialised. I wonder if you'd bring that er, that impulsecompass. [STEVEN] Yeah, sure. [DOCTOR] Well, now, young lady? Perhaps you'll have more faith in me inthe future. I thought something would work out. [SARA] But it was you who said we'd failed! [DOCTOR] Oh, nonsense, nonsense. [SARA] Well, it wasn't me! [DOCTOR] Of course it was. [STEVEN] Oh, come on, Doctor, you'll have to forgive her. After all, shehasn't known you very long. [DOCTOR] Yes, well, perhaps, perhaps. Anyway, now we're here I thinkwe'd better make a plan. [STEVEN] How far do you think that we are from the Dalek city? [DOCTOR] I've no idea. Though I think we might be able to make it onfoot. Perhaps I'd better go out and take some bearings. Open the door,dear boy. [STEVEN] Yes. [SARA] That man! He was as much in the dark as we were and now he hasthe gall to [STEVEN] Very good. You're getting to know him quite well. [SARA] Before this is over [STEVEN] Ah, ah, ah, save it for the Daleks. --------------------------------------- (Conference room) [CELATION] There has been too much time wastedthrough the folly of the representative from Earth. Surely, it is onlyright that on his return he be removed from this council. [BEAUS] But without him there will be no taranium! [CELATION] The Daleks have assured us that they will recapture the coreof the time destructor. [BEAUS] Then we do not need Mavic Chen? [CELATION] Exactly! He no longer merits a place on this GalacticCouncil. I call for a censure motion. [BLACK] Silence! The final conference is now in session. Mavic Chen,representative from the Solar System, will address the meeting. [CHEN] Fellow delegates. Even as you sit here, the great war forceassembled under the Daleks, is awaiting the final order to set out andconquer the universe! [BEAUS] Why is Mavic Chen speaking for the Dalek Supreme? [CHEN] The final checks are being made and in a very short time thatfinal order will be given! [CELATION] Why is it that Mavic Chen is in possession of informationdenied to the rest of this Council? [CHEN] Though we are all equal partners with the Daleks on this greatconquest, some of us are more equal than others. [BEAUS] The Representative speaks out of turn! [CHEN] No! My contribution of the emm of taranium, is greater than allof yours put together. You have been dwarfed, dwarfed! [CELATION] This violates the agreement by which this council wasassembled. [BEAUS] Arrest him! Arrest him! Arrest him! [CHEN] You have no power to arrest anybody. You are nothing, do you hearme? Nothing! [CHEN] Before this conference began, the Dalek Supreme and I spoketogether. This Council now is under my power. I will give the orders.You will obey them. --------------------------------------- (Kembel - Jungle) [STEVEN] You all right? [SARA] Yes, though this jungle is hardly the place I choose for a gentlestroll. [STEVEN] Just be careful of the Vargas. [SARA] Vargas? I haven't seen any Varga plants. [STEVEN] They've all over the. Come to think of it, neither have I. Ithought the Daleks scattered them all over Kembel. [SARA] Steven, you're sure we are on Kembel? [STEVEN] Of course I am. The Doctor was certain when he took these rea.Where is he? --------------------------------------- (Conference room) [CELATION] We have all served the common cause! Allof us! [CHEN] Indeed we have. But I, Mavic Chen, was solely responsible for therecovery of the core of the time destructor. Because of this, Inaturally precede anyone here. For without my power, the Daleks cannotsucceed. You do appreciate the point. [CELATION] There remains one question. Where is our co-ruler, the DalekSupreme? [CHEN] He was [CHEN] It is clear that he knows that I can run this council without hisaid. Now, gentlemen, we come to the main discussion before thismeeting. The apportioning of the government of the universe after theconquest. All of you will be allowed to oversee your own galaxies, butall of you will be responsible to the Dalek Supreme and me. [DALEK] This meeting is over. [CHEN] But it's isn't [DALEK] There will be no more discussion. All representatives will comewith us. --------------------------------------- (Outside the Tardis) [STEVEN] Where can he have got to? [SARA] Anywhere you like, out there. [STEVEN] This is serious. Perhaps the Daleks have caught him? [SARA] Then now they'll be looking for us. Look Steven, with or withoutthe Doctor we've got to get to the Dalek city and find a way of puttingthat place out of action. [STEVEN] Yes, but, Sara, what about the Doctor? He can't just havevanished into thin air. We've got to find him. [SARA] No, not yet. Mavic Chen will have returned with the taranium.That means the Daleks plans will be ready to go ahead and we've got tostop them. [STEVEN] I understand that. We can't just leave the Doctor wanderingaround lost in this jungle. [SARA] If I know anything about him he's already reached the city. If wego there we can stop the Daleks and find the Doctor. [STEVEN] Yes, all right. --------------------------------------- (Kembel - jungle) [STEVEN] The stronger signal's on bearing 242. According to the Doctorthe Dalek city is over there. [SARA] Where to now? [STEVEN] I'll just take another reading. [SARA] What exactly is [STEVEN] Shush. So far, so good. We're on the right track. The source ofpower is still 242. [SARA] Would you mind telling me how that thing works? [STEVEN] What now? [SARA] Yes, now. [STEVEN] Look Sara, this is no time for a lesson on the power impulsecompass. [SARA] Supposing something happens to you? [STEVEN] What are you talking about? [SARA] I'd have to go ahead and reach the city alone. Don't you thinkyou ought to show me how it works in case of accidents? [STEVEN] Oh, you're so cheerful, aren't you. --------------------------------------- (Dalek Control centre) [DALEK] The Galactic Representatives have beendetained as you instructed. [BLACK] They will be destroyed at the same time as the headquarters, atthe start of the conquest of the planet Earth. Commence invasioncount-down. --------------------------------------- (Kembel - jungle) [STEVEN] There it is. The take-off area. [SARA] Yes. Are those the Dalek ships? [STEVEN] No. Those belong to the other representatives. [SARA] Where's the Dalek landing area? [STEVEN] There too, possibly. But those representative ships'll have totake off first to collect their forces for the invasion. [SARA] Right, let's get going. [STEVEN] Just a minute! [SARA] Why? We've got to defeat the Daleks. [STEVEN] We've got to try to defeat the Daleks. If you and I just chargein there what chance do you think we've got against the greatest warforce ever assembled. [SARA] Oh, for heaven's sake, we'll go carefully. Look, Steven, justbecause the Doctor isn't here don't think that you're the only one whocan outwit the Daleks. [STEVEN] Look, I don't think that. But as you said, in any case, we'llprobably find he's here already. [SARA] Come on. --------------------------------------- (City corridor) [STEVEN] I don't get it. It's uncanny. I mean, where have the Daleks gotto? [SARA] It's like a city of the dead. [STEVEN] Let's see if there's any sign of life down here. [STEVEN] We should have been challenged by now. [SARA] We haven't come very far yet. [STEVEN] What's that got to do with it? [SARA] They're probably making final preparations for the invasion. [STEVEN] Yes, well, they'd still need guards out here. [SARA] Maybe they're not frightened. [STEVEN] They always take some precautions. [SARA] All right, you think of an explanation. [STEVEN] Well, look, suppose. Suppose the Doctor did come here and theyhave caught him. [SARA] Then now they'll be looking for us. [STEVEN] No, possibly not. Not if he said he was alone. [SARA] Huh. They wouldn't believe him. [STEVEN] Why not? We weren't anywhere around. [SARA] Steven, this could all be a trick. If they have caught the Doctorthen they could be waiting for us. [STEVEN] No. No, if they've caught the Doctor they won't worry about us.We've got to find him. --------------------------------------- (Dalek control centre) [STEVEN] This place is empty too. [SARA] Then this must be a trap. [STEVEN] Why? [SARA] Well, it looks like a control room. The Daleks wouldn't leave aplace like this unguarded. [STEVEN] Yes, that's true. That means they must have the Doctor if theycan be this sure of themselves. Hey, isn't this their time machine? [SARA] Now we can get back to Earth and warn them. [STEVEN] Yes, except that neither of us knows how to work it. We couldbluff them. [SARA] How? [STEVEN] If we could lock ourselves inside their time machine until theylet the Doctor come to us. Well, he could work it. [SARA] It's worth a try. Now we've got to contact the Daleks. Steven!Here's the Dalek loudspeaker system. This is Sara Kingdom of SpaceSecurity. Send the Doctor to the control room. [STEVEN] I'd better try and get into that time machine. [CHEN [OC]] Hello, Kingdom, Where are you? [SARA] That's Chen. [STEVEN] He must still be working with them. Mavic Chen, can you hearme? --------------------------------------- (Cell) [STEVEN [OC]] Let us speak to the Doctor. [CELATION] Is this more treachery? Who are these people? [CHEN] They are the people who stole the taranium! [CELATION] Why have they come back? [CHEN] I don't know! You must let me speak to them! [CELATION] No! Already you have betrayed us. This could be anothertrick. [STEVEN [OC]] Mavic Chen! Let me speak to the Doctor. --------------------------------------- (Dalek Control centre) [SARA] Don't waste time. They'll be on their way tous by now. [STEVEN] Yes, but if they don't bring the Doctor the plan's useless. [CELATION [OC]] Listen to me. [SARA] Who's that? [CELATION [OC]] Through the treachery of Chen we have been imprisoned. [SARA] Who are you? [CELATION [OC]] We are the Galactic Council. Will you release us? [STEVEN] Where are you? [CELATION [OC]] In a detention cell. [STEVEN] Yes, but where? [CELATION [OC]] We do not know! [STEVEN] We got to find them! [SARA] No, wait! This could be all part of the trick. [STEVEN] No, I don't think so. Look, if there were any Daleks aroundthey'd be here by now. They must have gone. Maybe the Doctor's with theCouncil. Come on! --------------------------------------- (Cell) [CELATION] Mavic Chen, if this is a further trickwe shall destroy you before they could destroy us. [CHEN] It's not a trick! [DELEGATE] Then why have they come back! [CHEN] If you'd only think! Is there no sense in the outer galaxies? Itis clear that they have lost their leader, the one they call theDoctor. The girl has bought the young man here to look for him, butreally she has come back out of loyalty to me. To ensure my safety asthe Guardian as the Solar System. --------------------------------------- (Conference room) [SARA] Now where? [STEVEN] How should I know? Just look at this place. It's fantastic. [SARA] Come along, no time for sightseeing. Let's try down here. --------------------------------------- (Cell) [CHEN] The efficiency of our security system is oneof the main reasons for our natural supremacy. [CELATION] What about the Daleks?! [CHEN] Once we are out of here, we can destroy the Daleks. Between us wecan muster a greater force than they. We can form our own galacticcouncil. [DELEGATE] Listen! [STEVEN] That's them. [CHEN] Kingdom! You've done well. Now let us out of here. [STEVEN] No. [CHEN] What do you mean, no? [STEVEN] Where is the Doctor? [CELATION] If he is your leader he is not with us. [STEVEN] Where is he? [CHEN] I don't know. Now let us out! [STEVEN] So that you can rejoin the Daleks! Not likely. [CELATION] Absurd! The Daleks have betrayed us! [DELEGATE] Betrayed! [CELATION] Why should we rejoin them? [SARA] If we let them out, there's just a chance that some of them couldmobilise a force to defeat the Daleks. [DELEGATE] Of course we will! [CELATION] You must! The Daleks must be destroyed. All our galaxies arein danger! [SARA] We have no choice. [STEVEN] Very well. But the Daleks have already left Kembel. It'sprobable that their invasion plans are already going ahead and theuniverse can be taken by surprise because of your greed! [CHEN] Must you moralise at us? [STEVEN] Your only chance is to go back to your own people and warnthem. [DELEGATE] Our people will kill us! [CELATION] Not if we save them. We must destroy the Daleks. [OTHERS] Destroy! [MALPHA] We agree to go and defend our galaxies and to organise a searchfor the Dalek invasion force. [SARA] Let them out, Steven. [STEVEN] Yes, all right. [CHEN] You are a sensible woman, Kingdom. I will see you are justlyrewarded. --------------------------------------- (Kembel - Jungle) [SARA] There they go. [STEVEN] Yes, let's hope they'll be in time. Look, there's the ship ofCelation and Beaus. [SARA] Chen's ship is still there. [STEVEN] Yes, he must be nearly the last one to take off. [SARA] What about the others? [STEVEN] Those must belong to the dead representatives. [SARA] Chen's taking his time to get off. [STEVEN] There he goes. No! [SARA] Something's gone wrong. [STEVEN] He's had it. [SARA] Now he won't be able to get back to Earth and warn them. [STEVEN] Let's hope that the others can mobilise fast enough. There mustbe something we can do. [SARA] Yes. Find the Doctor. [STEVEN] Shush! [SARA] What? [STEVEN] Listen. [SARA] The Doctor? [STEVEN] No! [SARA] They're still here. [STEVEN] We must follow it. Quickly! [STEVEN] It went down there, right into the heart of the mountain. [SARA] Underground. Why didn't we think of that before? [STEVEN] Sara, it's possible the invasion hasn't started yet. Maybe therest of the forces are down there. [SARA] Or part of them. There must be hundreds of places like that. [STEVEN] Yes, but that Dalek must know that the representatives gotaway. [SARA] They might even know that we're on Kembel. [STEVEN] With the representatives gone and the Doctor disappeared, we'regoing to have to put them out of action ourselves. [SARA] Can we? [STEVEN] We've got to. Earth will still be invaded. [CHEN] Certainly. Thanks to you. [SARA] Chen! But you're dead! [CHEN] Not yet, my innocent one, though I'm delighted my pyrotechnicaldisplay impressed you. No, I am alive and soon shall be master of theuniverse. Perhaps, Kingdom, you'd like to lead the way. [SARA] Down there? [CHEN] Of course. I'm certain the Daleks will be delighted to see you. --------------------------------------- (Metal corridor) [STEVEN] Don't you understand? By bringing us downhere, you're doing exactly what the Daleks want. [CHEN] Of course. [SARA] He's mad! [CHEN] Take care, Kingdom. I could easily forgo the pleasure of givingyou to the Daleks. I could kill you myself. [STEVEN] Why did you come back? This couldn't have been planned. Youweren't to know that we'd come back and set you free. [CHEN] I'm not a fool. I guessed your plan. [SARA] Our only plan is to destroy the Daleks. [CHEN] You were both able to fool the others, but you can't fool me.Where is the old man, the one you call the Doctor? [SARA] We were looking for him. [CHEN] Yes, of course. And that's why you came here. Now do stop thismasquerade! See, I know he is trying to usurp my position with theDaleks. [STEVEN] That is absurd. The Doctor's always fought the Daleks. Whydon't you believe us? We don't know where he is. [CHEN] Yet I find you at the entrance to the Daleks' secretheadquarters. I know the Doctor's here and that he's trying to take myplace. But I'll soon change that. [STEVEN] Why can't you understand the Daleks do not make allies? [SARA] Save your breath, Steven, you'll never convince him. I tell you,he's mad! [CHEN] The Daleks need me. And now I'll be able to show them the Doctorwould betray them. Lead on. --------------------------------------- (Dalek control centre) [DALEK 1] Assault division of five thousand Daleksawaits orders. [BLACK] The time destructor will be placed in the lead ship. [DALEK 2] Prisoners have been taken at entrance five. [BLACK] Prisoners? [DALEK 2] Dalek guard reports that the group consists of Mavic Chen andtwo of the time travellers. [BLACK] Have them bought here to main central control. [DALEK 2] I obey. --------------------------------------- (Metal corridor) [CHEN] Your assistance, although welcome, is entirely unnecessary. Idemand to take them to the Dalek Supreme alone. [DALEK] Central control has been advised. [CHEN] Well advise them again. Until you realise that these people aremy prisoners, I shall refuse to hand them over. [DALEK] I will verify my orders. [CHEN] Good. [SARA] There is still no proof that the Doctor is here. [CHEN] Whatever else is thought about you, one cannot help but admirethe way you both continue with your absurd bluff. [DALEK] Representative Chen, new orders have been received. You are toescort the prisoners to the Dalek Supreme. [CHEN] Excellent! After you. [DALEK] But we are still to assist him. --------------------------------------- (Dalek control centre) [DALEK 2] The prisoners have arrived. [BLACK] Bring them in. [DALEK 2] I obey. Bring in the prisoners. [CHEN] Once again, I, Mavic Chen, Guardian of the Solar System, havehelped the Daleks with their conquest plan. [BLACK] Our alliance has ended. [CHEN] What? But I have helped you time and time again with your absurdincompetence! I, Mavic Chen, will decide when the Alliance is at anend. You, Dalek Supreme, tell them they're to take their orders fromme. [CHEN] I assume that this silence means that the orders have beenpassed. Good. You, bring me the invasion reports. It is essential thatI know what stage that countdown has reached. Now, move! You did notpass on my order. Why? [CHEN] Failure to obey the orders of your ruler brings only one reward. [BLACK] Take him away and exterminate him, but do not fire in here. Youwill damage us and some of the controls. [CHEN] You cannot turn against me! I, Mavic Chen, first ruler of theuniverse, am immortal! [BLACK] Pursue and exterminate in safe area. Repeat, in safe area. [STEVEN] Doctor, how on earth? [DOCTOR] Don't say anything. Just do what I tell you. Take that. [STEVEN] What? The key to the Tardis? [DOCTOR] Yes. Now, when I tell you, I want you to take Sara back to theTardis. You still have that power impulse compass? [STEVEN] Yes. [DOCTOR] Good. Now follow bearing 627 to the Tardis. [SARA] But what about you, Doctor. [DOCTOR] Shush. There is no use in all of us taking risks. You must doas I say. [STEVEN] Yes, but how did you get here? [DOCTOR] I followed a Dalek here, of course. Now let me get on. I amgoing to activate the time destructor. --------------------------------------- (Metal corridor) [CHEN] You will pay for your crimes against your ruler. You cannot killme! --------------------------------------- (Dalek control centre) [STEVEN] Be quick! I'm sure they're coming back. [DOCTOR] Ah ha, that's it. [DALEK] Move back, all of you. [DOCTOR] I am afraid you're too late. The time destructor is activated. [BLACK] Do not fire! [DOCTOR] No, you cannot fire, can you? You dare not. If you were to,yes, you could kill us, but you would totally destroy your equipment. Ithink it is checkmate. Send one of your Daleks over here. Remember, thetime destructor is working, working slowly, but if you disobey me, Ican accelerate it! [BLACK] Do what he says. [DOCTOR] Turn about. You two, behind it. Steven, take my stick and clampit down on his gun. Forward! --------------------------------------- (Metal corridor) [DOCTOR] Now, both of you, back to the Tardis. [STEVEN] What about you, Doctor? [DOCTOR] Do as I say, quickly! [STEVEN] Go on! [SARA] Wait, Steven. We can't just leave him. [STEVEN] The Doctor knows what he's doing. At least, I think he does. [SARA] All we're doing is running to save our own lives. If anythinggoes wrong and the Daleks recapture the time destructor, we'll havefailed for ever. [STEVEN] I know what you're saying. I'd go back too if I thought itwould help. Whatever he's doing, he's doing because he thinks it's thebest way. Now, come on! --------------------------------------- (Outside the Dalek control centre) [BLACK [OC]] Pursue and recapture. Pursue and recapture. Activate alarm!Activate alarm! [DALEK [OC]] Door control jammed. Contact broken. [BLACK [OC]] Correct fault immediately, then pursue and recapture. --------------------------------------- (Metal corridor) [DOCTOR] What are you doing here? [SARA] I came to help you. [DOCTOR] You must remember, my child, this machine is working. It'sworking slowly because its range is rather small at the moment, but itis working. Now, if you start to feel strange, you must let me know atonce. [SARA] Yes, all right, but what about them? [DOCTOR] First, back to the Tardis. Is Steven not with you? [SARA] No. I came back that way. [DOCTOR] Hurry, my child, hurry! --------------------------------------- (Kembel - Jungle) [STEVEN] Sara! Sara! [SARA] Hurry, Doctor! [DOCTOR] My dear, are you beginning to feel strange? [SARA] The wind. Listen, can't you hear it? I've never heard that onKembel before. [DOCTOR] Yes, well, perhaps it's this time destructor having an effecton the elements. [SARA] Then destroy it! [DOCTOR] No, no, that's impossible, my dear. There's one thing I do knowabout this machine. It will continue until the taranium has finallyburnt itself out. Our only chance is to get back to the Tardis. Then Ican neutralise it. [SARA] Hurry. --------------------------------------- (Dalek control centre) [DALEK 1] Secondary door circuit completed. [BLACK] Operate. [DALEK 2] Obstacle clearing. [BLACK] Pursue and exterminate! --------------------------------------- (Kembel - Jungle) [DOCTOR] It's not far now. Sara! [SARA] Keep going! The Daleks must be after us by now! [DOCTOR] The time destructor is [SARA] You think I don't know? --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [STEVEN] Nothing. --------------------------------------- (Outside the Tardis) [SARA] Doctor. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [STEVEN] Doctor! Sara! --------------------------------------- (Outside the Tardis) [STEVEN] Dust! It's all crumbling into dust. [STEVEN] Sara! [STEVEN] Come on, Doctor. [DOCTOR] No, don't touch me. [STEVEN] I must help you. [DOCTOR] You must get back to the ship! Go forward. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] Close the door. Thank you, my friend.Thank you, Steven. By chance, you reversed the time destructor. Insteadof time rushing forward, it's now racing back. Sara? You realise shecame to look for me, to see if I was all right? [STEVEN] I was forcing my way through the jungle. I didn't even see hergo. [DOCTOR] The Daleks! --------------------------------------- (Outside the Tardis) [DOCTOR] Oh, dust. Nothing but dust! [STEVEN] The time destructor, what's left of it. [DOCTOR] Mavic Chen's taranium core has finally burnt itself out. [STEVEN] I wish Sara could have seen the end. [DOCTOR] Yes, my boy, so do I. You know, Steven, the one thing that Saralived for was to see the total destruction of the Daleks. Well, nowit's all over. Without her help, this could never have been achieved. [STEVEN] What is it? [DOCTOR] Millions of years of progress reversed back. [DOCTOR] That's all that remains of a Dalek. [STEVEN] Let's go, Doctor. I've seen enough of this place. [DOCTOR] Well, my boy, we finally rid this planet of Daleks. [STEVEN] Bret, Katarina, Sara. [DOCTOR] What a waste. What a terrible waste.

Doctor Who (5 Feb, 1966; First Doctor) - The Massacre of St Bartholomew's Eve (Outside the Tardis) [DOCTOR] Highly satisfactory. [STEVEN] If anyone opens that gate they'll find the Tardis. [DOCTOR] Oh nonsense, my boy. It's perfectly safe in there. Yes, France.Yes, most certainly. [STEVEN] Well how do you know that? [DOCTOR] Hmm! [STEVEN] Date? Any idea of the date, Doctor? [DOCTOR] Well, by the look of those houses I would say medieval.Although I suppose it might be as late as the seventeenth century. I [STEVEN] Look out! [GASTON] Nicholas Muss is expecting me. [MAN] Ah yes. Of course. [DOCTOR] Did you see that? We've landed in the middle of the sixteenthcentury. Yes, and that was the very time. [STEVEN] What are you talking about? [DOCTOR] Yes. That strange brotherhood of apothecaries. Way ahead oftheir time. Now, what was the name of that man that lived in Paris? Er,Pre, Preslin! Preslin! That's the man. Yes. The most advanced man ofthem all. I must try to get to see him. --------------------------------------- (de Coligny's house) [GASTON] You're too cautious, Nicholas. TheCatholics know of only one way to settle our differences. [MUSS] Times are difficult enough for us here, without you provokingfurther quarrels. [GASTON] I? Oh, come, be fair. Paris hates our kind. It would doanything it can to provoke us. [MUSS] You must control your temper, Gaston. It is imperative that wekeep the peace at this time. --------------------------------------- (Outside the Tardis) [STEVEN] We're in Paris. [DOCTOR] Quite so, dear boy. Well, now, don't let us dawdle. We must goin and change. [STEVEN] Well, have you got the right clothes? [DOCTOR] You'd be surprised what I've got in my wardrobe. But I want toturn over a few old papers. Yes, come along, there's no time to lose.Come along. Come along, come along! --------------------------------------- (Tavern) [GASTON] Now. Now, is everybody's mug filled? [ALL] Yes. [GASTON] Then drink to Henri of Navarre, our Protestant prince. [ALL] Henri of Navarre! [DUVALL] And to his bride, our Catholic princess. [GASTON] Landlord! [LANDLORD] Yes, sir? [GASTON] Have you got no decent wine? Where are the Burgundies? Or eventhe German wines? [LANDLORD] Sir, we have the best Bordeaux on the market. [GASTON] A thin Catholic brew. [MUSS] Gaston, no! [DUVALL] For a freethinking German, Monsieur Muss, you have some sense.Viscount, you have insulted her Highness the Princess. [GASTON] Simon Dubar, what a surprise. No doubt you visit this tavernbecause the air is clearer of rigid Catholic dogma? [DUVALL] You have not answered me. [GASTON] Answered you? I wasn't aware you'd asked me a question. [DUVALL] The insult to Princess Marguerite. [MUSS] It was an accident. He choked. [DUVALL] Well, then, Drink again to her. [MUSS] Yes. We both will. To the Princess. [DUVALL] Most of them are in the service of the Admiral de Coligny? [LANDLORD] I have to serve them, sir. I hate these Huguenots as much asthe next man, but I have to live. [DUVALL] Certainly you must serve them, but watch and listen. Report tome anything you hear or see. [LANDLORD] Certainly, anything, sir. Here in Paris we know what isright. Though people like myself with a living to earn? [DUVALL] Of course. But watch your business. [GASTON] Duvall, leaving us so soon? Can't you stomach the wine here? [DUVALL] I have business elsewhere. After all, my dear Viscount, atavern is a place where a gentleman may refresh himself, while simplerpeople amuse him with their badinage. [DOCTOR] It won't be of the least interest to you, dear boy. Landlord!Wine. [STEVEN] Look, I'm not going to sit in the Tardis whilst you gallivantaround Paris. [DOCTOR] I shall do nothing of the sort. I am going to visit Preslin. Helives on the other side of Paris, somewhere near Port Saint Martin, Ibelieve. Thank you. I just want to sit down and have a talk with himabout his work. Are you interested in germinology? [STEVEN] I don't know. What is it? [DOCTOR] Well, there you are, you see. And you know nothing about theperiod do you? You'd only be found out for the man that you are. [STEVEN] Look, I'll be careful. I'm perfectly capable of of lookingafter myself. I'll just walk around Paris and see the sights. [DOCTOR] Well, in that case I shan't visit Preslin. [STEVEN] Oh don't be silly. You can't wait to talk to him. Come on, yougo. I'll be all right. [DOCTOR] Well. [STEVEN] You'll never forgive yourself if you don't. [DOCTOR] But you promise me you won't get into trouble? [STEVEN] Yes, of course. [DOCTOR] Well try not to talk to anyone. And come back here this eveningand we'll go off to the Tardis together. [STEVEN] Yes, all right. Now, you go and find your Monsieur Preslin. [DOCTOR] Quite, quite. You'll need that. [STEVEN] Oh, thanks. [DOCTOR] And don't cut yourself with that sword. [DOCTOR] Oh, I beg your pardon, sir. [LANDLORD] Here, you! It is customary, sir, to pay for the wineconsumed. [STEVEN] Oh, oh, yes, of course. Here, take this. [LANDLORD] The wine is two sous. I cannot change this. [STEVEN] That's all I have. [LANDLORD] I cannot change gold. [MUSS] Can I help you? You're a stranger here. [STEVEN] Yes. This man won't change my money. [LANDLORD] I ask for two sous and he gives me an ecu. I cannot changeecu coin. [MUSS] Here. [LANDLORD] Thank you, sir. [MUSS] Is that Parisian hospitality? [LANDLORD] What do you mean, sir? [MUSS] The gentleman's ecu. [LANDLORD] A thousand apologies. I wasn't thinking. [STEVEN] Oh. Thank you. I'm afraid I don't understand your money. [MUSS] Not at all. [STEVEN] Excuse me. [MUSS] Yes? [STEVEN] Can you tell me the way to the Port Saint Martin? [MUSS] Certainly, but as a stranger to Paris I think you'll havedifficulty finding it. [STEVEN] Yes. Well, I've got to try. You see I must find a man calledPreslin. [MUSS] I'm sorry. I don't know the name. Is anything wrong? [STEVEN] Well, I don't know. You see the friend who was with me has gonethere. When he left here it looked as though he was followed. [MUSS] The old man? [STEVEN] Yes. You see, he's gone to find an apothecary there. [MUSS] Is he sick? [STEVEN] Oh, no, no, no. He's a scientist. He's gone to talk to himabout his idea. [MUSS] A dangerous thing to do in days like these. [STEVEN] Oh, well, perhaps it doesn't matter. He'll be able to take careof himself. He usually does. [MUSS] In that case you needn't worry. [STEVEN] No. [MUSS] I don't think you're sure. Look, come and drink some wine with usand later I'll take you to the Port Saint Martin. [STEVEN] Oh, no, thank you. But, well, I don't want to intrude. I mean [MUSS] Nonsense, come and join us. Later, we'll make sure your friend issafe. [STEVEN] Well, thank you. I'm afraid I've never been in Paris before. [MUSS] Allow us to be your guides. --------------------------------------- (Preslin's shop) [PRESLIN] What do you want? [DOCTOR] I am looking for Charles Preslin. [PRESLIN] He doesn't live here. [DOCTOR] Oh, but this is his shop? [PRESLIN] It was. He's gone. [DOCTOR] Where? [PRESLIN] He's left Paris. [DOCTOR] Oh dear, dear, dear. Now isn't that a pity. And I did so wantto talk to him about his work. [PRESLIN] Make more trouble for him? [DOCTOR] Trouble? Not at all. I'm a scientist too. I merely wish todiscuss his work with him. [PRESLIN] He was merely a mixer of herbs and unguents. [DOCTOR] Yes, perhaps to you, but he was a man who searched deeply innature. I didn't think he was a faint heart. [PRESLIN] No, but cautious. [DOCTOR] I see. Yes. He also discovered, small creatures which, ifattacking humanity, could cause a very serious illness. [PRESLIN] You're not French. [DOCTOR] No. [PRESLIN] Yet you know of Preslin? [DOCTOR] Yes. In science, news travels. Yes. And there's a man inGermany at the moment, who's working on optics, trying to make amachine which will enable Preslin to see these small creatures. Hecalls them germs. [PRESLIN] Is it so? Are they really doing this? [DOCTOR] Yes. So now, doesn't this encourage you to continue with yourtheories, Monsieur Preslin? [PRESLIN] Yes, I, I am Charles Preslin. Forgive me, but in these daysone has to be careful. [DOCTOR] Of course, of course, my dear fellow. But I'm extremely curiousabout your work, Monsieur Preslin. --------------------------------------- (Tavern) [MUSS] Don't mind Gaston, Steven. He's like thiswith any stranger. In fact, he'd cross-question his own shadow. [GASTON] Don't mock me, Nicholas. I'm in France to protect my master,Henri of Navarre, just as you are to protect de Coligny. [MUSS] You're too suspicious. Steven's been travelling abroad. He knowsnothing about what's been happening here. Do you? [STEVEN] No, no. I really do know very little. [GASTON] Yes, but as you come from England you must be for the Huguenot.What you call a Protestant. [STEVEN] Oh, yes, yes. [GASTON] There, you see? It's just that I'm interested in our friend.Now tell us where you've been travelling. [STEVEN] Well, I've been, I've been in Egypt. [GASTON] In Egypt? [STEVEN] Yes. Look, I've taken up far too much of your time. Perhapsyou'd be good enough to tell me the way to the Port Saint Martin? [MUSS] I'll come with you and show you the city. [STEVEN] Thank you, but I really should try and find my friend. [GASTON] Wise man. Nicholas here only knows the most boring places. [MUSS] At least let me point out the start of your journey. [STEVEN] Yes, thank you. --------------------------------------- (Paris) (Outside the Tavern) [MUSS] When you get there, ask again. Anyone willtell you. [STEVEN] I think I can find it now. Thank you, Nicholas. [MUSS] A pleasure. --------------------------------------- (Tavern) [CAPTAIN] Let us pass, sir! [GASTON] And what do you want? [CAPTAIN] The girl who came in here. [GASTON] My Lord Cardinal's guard aren't you? What does he want with awench? [CAPTAIN] She's a servant. She ran away. I have orders to bring herback. [GASTON] She doesn't appear to care for the Cardinal's service. Isuggest you let her go. [CAPTAIN] She is chosen for the staff of the house of the Abbot ofAmboise. [GASTON] Clearly, she likes that no more. [CAPTAIN] Let me pass! My Lord Abbot shall hear of this when he arrives. [GASTON] Yes I'm sure he will. Tell him to take this story to ourCardinal in Rome. No doubt he'll like it also. [GASTON] There now. I thought he might be roused. What a pity. Hey,come, Mister Englishman. Join us again. It's clearly not safe for youto walk alone. [STEVEN] Yes, but what about the girl? Where is she? [GASTON] She's just a servant. A chance to bait a Catholic. Forget her.Come, come, come. --------------------------------------- (Preslin's shop) [DOCTOR] But, who is this Abbot? [PRESLIN] The Abbot of Amboise. He hates us all. [DOCTOR] Yes, I suppose just now all churchmen are rather suspicious ofyour work. But surely you can carry on without his knowledge? [PRESLIN] Oh, you don't know the man. The Abbot of Amboise is theCardinal of Lorraine's right hand. With the Cardinal in Rome, the Abbothas decided to come to Paris. We shall be hunted down. That man is farmore dangerous than the Cardinal. [DOCTOR] I suppose there's no point in going to see him? [PRESLIN] None, unless you want to be thrown in prison for heresy. [DOCTOR] Hmm, I wonder. --------------------------------------- (Tavern) [STEVEN] The girl was clearly frightened out of herwits. We should find her. [GASTON] Nonsense. She's probably gone back to her own people. [STEVEN] But don't you want to know why she was frightened? [GASTON] No. [MUSS] Many things frighten people in Paris these days. [GASTON] Hey, hey, hey, you, girl. Come here. Come on. Now then. Myfriend here, whom you ran into, wants to know why you're frightened.Come on, girl. [STEVEN] For goodness sake, you're frightening her even more. [MUSS] It's all right. Just tell us what it is you fear. [ANNE] Nothing, sir. [STEVEN] Yes, but you were running away. Why? [GASTON] Louis, call back the guards. [ANNE] No! [GASTON] Then answer us! Why were you frightened? [ANNE] Just something I overheard, sir. [GASTON] What? [ANNE] Well, you see, I come from Vassy. And when they said it mighthappen again. [GASTON] What's that? [ANNE] They said it would happen again, and my father died there. [GASTON] Vassy? [MUSS] Calm down, Gaston. [GASTON] What did you hear? [ANNE] I was just passing the room and I heard them mention Vassy. [GASTON] What did they say? [ANNE] Something about it happening before the week was past. [GASTON] Who spoke? [ANNE] The Captain who followed me inside and another man. [GASTON] Now tell us exactly what you heard. [ANNE] Just, just the word that made me stop, sir. My father died atVassy and [GASTON] Yes, yes, I know, but [STEVEN] What are you all talking about? [MUSS] Ten years ago at Vassy, a small town some miles south of Paris, ahundred Huguenots were slaughtered by the Catholics. [STEVEN] Why? [GASTON] Because they were Huguenot. [MUSS] Listen, girl. What do they call you? [ANNE] Anne. [MUSS] Anne, think back. Remember every single word the Captain and theother man said. [ANNE] But I told you. [GASTON] Then tell us again. --------------------------------------- (Abbot's residence) [DUVALL] Fool! To allow the meddlesome Viscount deLeran to stop you! [CAPTAIN] There were too many of them. They'd have killed us before weeven found the girl. [COLBERT] The girl is just a servant. She couldn't have understood us. [DUVALL] If she should remember what you said and should repeat it, shecould put our friend on his guard. [COLBERT] We didn't speak of him. [DUVALL] Then what did you say to frighten the girl? [CAPTAIN] Nothing. [DUVALL] Servants don't run away from a house in fear for nothing. [CAPTAIN] I think we mentioned Vassy and the celebrations here in Paris,but nothing that anyone could've made head or tail of. [DUVALL] She made something of it! Vassy. That might have been it. Thatword alone is enough to put every Huguenot in Paris on his guard. [COLBERT] I will go and look for her. [DUVALL] You will not. You will wait here and report this to the Abbot.It was your mistake. I'm sure he'll want to congratulate you himself. [COLBERT] But. Very well. [DUVALL] And you. Find out if she has any relations in Paris. If shehas, seek them out and find if she's fled there. That girl must befound. --------------------------------------- (Tavern) [GASTON] She can't help us any more. You can go. [MUSS] No, wait. If the Catholics find her, they can easily discoverwhat she's told us. We must keep her out of sight. [GASTON] And just what do you propose to do with her? [MUSS] She can work in the Admiral's kitchen. They won't find her there.Go to the house of the Admiral de Coligny. Tell them that Nicholas Musssent you. [ANNE] Where's that, sir? [GASTON] Oh, no one is more ignorant than the common people of Paris.The Admiral of France lives on the corner of Rue de Bethisy and the Ruede la Brousette. [ANNE] Thank you, sir. [STEVEN] But what do they mean, these things she overheard? [GASTON] A threat to Navarre. I must warn him. I'll see you later,Nicolas. [MUSS] I'm afraid you've arrived in Paris at a most unfortunate time. [STEVEN] I wish I understood what was going on. [MUSS] My English friend, it's really quite simple. Henri of Navarre isa Huguenot, a Protestant prince. Yesterday he married Marguerite ofFrance, a Catholic. The marriage was arranged by the Queen Mother inthe hope that it would heal the religious wound that's tearing Francein two. But in the light of what that girl overheard, it looks as ifthe Catholics are plotting against Navarre's life. Do you understand? [STEVEN] Yes. Yes, I think I do. [MUSS] And now, I must leave you. I must see the Admiral at once.Forgive me that I cannot show you Paris. [STEVEN] Oh, I shall be all right. Besides, my friend should bereturning soon. [MUSS] Pleasant journey. Goodbye. [STEVEN] Goodbye. --------------------------------------- (Preslin's shop) [PRESLIN] You showed the old man the way? Good. I only hope he succeeds.You were not seen? Let's hope not. You've done well. [PRESLIN] Good luck, old man. Good luck. --------------------------------------- (Tavern) [DUVALL] Where's the girl? [LANDLORD] The girl? [DUVALL] The girl who fled in here this morning. What's happened to her? [LANDLORD] I don't know. I was down in the cellar and when I came up,there she was being questioned by the Huguenots. [DUVALL] The Viscount de Laran and Nicholas Muss? [LANDLORD] Yes, and another man. [DUVALL] Who? [LANDLORD] He's still here. Over there. [DUVALL] Who is he? [LANDLORD] I don't know. A stranger. English, I think. [DUVALL] Go on. [LANDLORD] The Viscount left hurriedly once they'd finished with thegirl. [DUVALL] And where is she now? [LANDLORD] Sir, it is difficult to hear everything. I must watch overthe whole tavern. [DUVALL] Haven't I paid you enough? [LANDLORD] Oh come, sir. [DUVALL] What happened to the girl? [LANDLORD] She, I remember. She was sent to the house of Admiral deColigny. [DUVALL] I see. Thank you, my friend. Good evening. A stranger to thiscity? [STEVEN] Yes. [DUVALL] I thought you must be. Most wise people are at home by thistime. It's almost time for the curfew. [STEVEN] The curfew? [DUVALL] Yes, an unfortunate necessity which even the marriage ofProtestant Henri to our great King's sister hasn't been able torectify. [STEVEN] Look, I'm sorry, but I don't understand. I'm on my way back toEngland. I really know very little of what's been going on here. [DUVALL] I trust you've found yourself somewhere comfortable to staywhile you're here. Apartments are hard to find at this time, Parisbeing so full for the celebrations. [STEVEN] I shall be all right. I'm leaving tonight. I'm just waiting fora friend. [DUVALL] I hope he comes soon, otherwise you won't be able to leave. [STEVEN] I expect we'll be all right, thanks. [DUVALL] Good. He's waiting for a friend. Watch and see who it is. [STEVEN] Nicholas! [MUSS] Steven! Steven, you're still here. Where's your friend? [STEVEN] I don't know. He said he'd meet here tonight. He hasn't arrivedyet. [MUSS] But it's time for the curfew. Where will you stay if he doesn'tcome? [STEVEN] I don't know. I'm sure he will come. [MUSS] There's the curfew now. You must come with me. You can alwayscome back here in the morning. Landlord? [LANDLORD] Yes sir? [MUSS] If an old man arrives asking for the Englishman, tell him he'slodging with the Admiral de Coligny, and will return here in themorning. [LANDLORD] Yes, sir. Certainly, sir. [STEVEN] Look, this is very kind of you but I'm sure he will come. [MUSS] Not now. He must be delayed somewhere. There's nothing we can dotonight. [STEVEN] No, I suppose you're right. He's probably got sidetracked. Heoften does. All right, thank you. I will accept your offer. [MUSS] Then come. [DUVALL] English. I wonder what they're up to? I shall want a fullreport in the morning on all that happens. --------------------------------------- (Abbot's apartments) [COLBERT] And that is what happened. If it hadn't been for the Viscountde Laran the Captain would almost certainly have caught her. It waspure mischance. [COLBERT] I'm sure she couldn't have made any sense of what we said.Simon Duvall has gone to the inn where she escaped and the Captain hasgone to find an aunt of hers. I'm certain that it's only a matter oftime. In fact one of them may be bringing her back here now. [DUVALL] Forgive me, Father Abbot, but the missing girl is at the houseof Admiral de Coligny. [ABBOT] Fetch her tomorrow. Bring her to me. --------------------------------------- (de Coligny's house) [GASTON] I tell you, Nicholas, he refuses to takeany precautions. Our noble lord, Henri of Navarre, will not believethat the Catholics are plotting to kill him. [MUSS] Is that so surprising? He's married to the King's sister! He mustput on a show of trusting the Catholics. [GASTON] Trust them? Ha! You know how far we can do that. You told himwhat that girl overheard? [MUSS] Yes. [GASTON] What did he say? [MUSS] He refuses to pay any attention to a servant girl's story. [GASTON] But we must convince them. Nicholas, you are the man'ssecretary. Now speak to de Coligny again, now tell him [MUSS] I've done what I can. Now we must wait until we find outsomething more, or for the Catholics to make a move. [GASTON] Their move is likely to be a knife in Navarre's back. Whathappened to that Englishman, Steven? [MUSS] He's gone back to the tavern to find his friend. --------------------------------------- (Tavern) [STEVEN] Excuse me. I wonder if? (the door is opened) Landlord, hasanyone asked for me? [LANDLORD] What's that? Oh, it's you, Monsieur. [STEVEN] The friend I was waiting for last night, have you seen him? [LANDLORD] Not today. [STEVEN] But didn't he return last night and leave a message? [LANDLORD] I haven't seen your friend since you left with him at thecurfew last night. [STEVEN] Not that friend, I'm looking for the old man, the one who washere with me here yesterday morning. Well, he should have met me herelast night. Look, he was wearing a large travelling cloak and carryinga silver-top cane. [LANDLORD] No one's been here. We're closed. [STEVEN] Not last night or this morning? [LANDLORD] No, and I've got work to do. If you need help go and ask itof your Huguenot friends. --------------------------------------- (de Coligny's house) [MUSS] For goodness sake, Gaston. It's quite likelywe drew the wrong conclusions. [GASTON] Look, the girl overheard the men talking about Vassy, and itwould happen again before the week was out. [MUSS] No, she didn't. She heard them mention the name Vassy. And then,just before she ran away, she heard them say it would happen before theweek was out. [GASTON] What's the difference? [MUSS] It's quite likely the name Vassy had nothing to do with themassacre there. And the it was referring to something else entirely. [GASTON] Look, Nicholas, you can't [STEVEN] Nicholas, I'm sorry to have to bother you again. [MUSS] Don't worry. Antoine, bring another glass. [ANTOINE] Yes, Monsieur. [MUSS] You didn't find your friend? [STEVEN] Well, no, I even went to the Tard, the place where we're toleave from. There wasn't any sign of him. [GASTON] Well if he's fallen foul of the Catholics who roam about thestreets, heaven help him. [MUSS] Many of our followers are just as bad. [GASTON] Oh, nonsense. [MUSS] Pay no attention to Gaston. Now what can I do to help you? [STEVEN] Well, my friend went to the Port Saint Martin as you know. Imust try to find him there, but I'm afraid I can't remember yourdirections. [MUSS] I'll come with you. [STEVEN] Thanks. [GASTON] But before you go, I think you have a visitor. [MUSS] Who? [GASTON] Roger Colbert. Recently appointed temporal secretary to theAbbot of Amboise during his stay in Paris. I'll wager he's come tofetch the girl. [GASTON] An unexpected visit, Monsieur Colbert. [COLBERT] Nicholas Muss? [MUSS] Yes? [COLBERT] Forgive me for calling on you like this, but I believe thatyesterday you were put to some inconvenience by a servant from thehousehold of the Abbot of Amboise. [MUSS] Inconvenience? [COLBERT] I understand she overheard someone say something and wasfrightened by it. She ran away and I hear that you kindly gave herrefuge in the Admiral's kitchens. [GASTON] And what could the Abbot say that would frighten a servant so? [COLBERT] The Abbot was not then in residence. She heard someone speakof Vassy and I believe that she was there when that unfortunatebusiness took place. She was frightened, I suspect, by her own memory,rather than by anything she heard. [GASTON] And do they discuss the slaughter at Vassy so glibly? [COLBERT] People can talk of the town without referring to that. [GASTON] Out, out, out, out, out. [COLBERT] But surely, that is the very girl. [GASTON] That girl? [COLBERT] Yes, her name is Anne Chaplet. Allow me take her with me. [GASTON] Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. You really must bemistaken. That girl is called, um, er, um, Genevieve, and she's beenworking here ever since the Admiral came to Paris. [COLBERT] I see. Forgive me for troubling you. [STEVEN] That is the same man who followed my friend from the tavern. [MUSS] You're sure? [STEVEN] I'm positive. [MUSS] But what could the Abbot of Amboise want with your friend? [GASTON] Well, well, well, the Abbot has come himself, and all for thesake of a servant. [STEVEN] But, but that's the Doctor. That's the Doctor talking to RogerColbert. I must go to him. Thank you for all your help. [GASTON] One moment! [STEVEN] Yes? [GASTON] You say that man is your friend? [STEVEN] Yes. [GASTON] And how long have you been working for the Abbot of Amboise? [STEVEN] What? [GASTON] The man talking to Colbert is the Abbot of Amboise. In whatcapacity do you serve him? [STEVEN] What are you talking about? Well, that man's the Doc. At least.He's gone. It looked like the Doctor, but if you're certain [GASTON] The certainty is that I don't like Catholic spies! [STEVEN] I'm no spy. Listen to me. I thought that man was the Doctor. Ifyou say it was the Abbot of Amboise, then I must be mistaken. [MUSS] Perhaps. [STEVEN] Look, Nicholas, I can prove that the Doctor looks like theAbbot. Show me the way to the Port Saint Martin. We'll go to the shopof Preslin the apothecary, and you'll meet the Doctor. [GASTON] And walk straight into a Catholic trap! [STEVEN] It's no trap! Nicholas, if I were a spy would I be such a foolas to betray myself like this? [GASTON] Nicholas, it's no [MUSS] I think he may be telling the truth. I'll come with you. [GASTON] Yes, so will I. [MUSS] No, stay here. If I don't come back, go to the Admiral. [GASTON] Look, you're mad. Listen. [MUSS] We have to find out! Come, Monsieur. And for your sake I hope wefind your friend. --------------------------------------- (The Louvre) [TAVANNES] You say the Abbot went to the house himself? [DUVALL] Yes, Marshall, he felt it was imperative to get the girl back. [TAVANNES] The Abbot's a fool. The girl's not important. She must havetold the Huguenots all that she knows. all that she overheard. Ifthey'd made anything of it they'd have acted by now. All he's done isto arouse further suspicion. [DUVALL] He's an astute man in some ways. After all, without him wewouldn't have got the help of Monsieur Bondeaux. [TAVANNES] Bondeaux has yet to prove himself. Other assassins might doas well. [DUVALL] His Eminence the Cardinal trusts the Abbot. [TAVANNES] Yes, I'm not sure that I do. There's something odd about allthis. Watch him closely, Simon. Make a note of everything he says ordoes, and report it to me. [DUVALL] Yes, Marshall. There is another matter. Nicholas Muss isplaying host to a young Englishman. [TAVANNES] At de Coligny's house? Who is he? [DUVALL] I don't know. [TAVANNES] Hmm. Perhaps our fine Admiral is making secret overtures tothe English? [DUVALL] It seems that he's a stranger to France. [TAVANNES] All the more reason why Elizabeth of England should send him.Find out more about this Englishman. Go now, and stay close to theAbbot. And Simon, tell him I shall bring word later concerning the SeaBeggar. [DE COLIGNY] Interested in the Dutch at last, Marshall Tavannes? [TAVANNES] Ah, Admiral De Coligny. I didn't hear you come in. [DE COLIGNY] I hope you are looking into the plight of the unfortunateDutch. The sea beggars as you call them. My fight with Spain is a justone. [TAVANNES] So you frequently tell us in council. [DE COLIGNY] Your only quarrel with the Dutch is that they areProtestant and not Catholic. [TAVANNES] That could also be the reason why you support them. But restassured, Admiral, we are examining their claim for France's aid. [DE COLIGNY] That is something I suppose. [TAVANNES] Tell me, have you any news from that other ally of yours,England? [DE COLIGNY] No. Why should I? [TAVANNES] Strange. I'd heard that you have an Englishman staying withyou. [DE COLIGNY] There was a lost stranger who lodged at my house lastnight. I believe he was English. [TAVANNES] And he brought you no word? [DE COLIGNY] You are an extraordinary man, Tavannes. You see shadowswhere there is no sun. [TAVANNES] Perhaps. Forgive me, I have an audience with the QueenMother. [DE COLIGNY] Don't let me detain you. --------------------------------------- (Port Saint Martin) [MUSS] We've been up and down every street in thePort Saint Martin. [STEVEN] Preslin's shop must be around here somewhere. Look! [STEVEN] Sorry. [WOMAN] Rushing about knocking folks down, You young gentlemen have nosense [MUSS] Sorry, my friend's looking for someone. [WOMAN] Well, that's no reason to go pushing me over. And you can stopmaking all that noise. You're disturbing the whole neighbourhood.Nobody lives there. [MUSS] What? Monsieur Preslin doesn't use his shop? [OLD LADY] Does it look like it? Nothing lives there except the rats. [STEVEN] And where is Preslin now? [MUSS] How long since he's lived here? [WOMAN] Oh, a long time. Two years about. He was arrested for heresy. [STEVEN] What? Do you mean, you mean he's in prison? [WOMAN] Burnt I expect. And if he isn't, he should be. [MUSS] Your story is thinner than before. You say the Doctor is withPreslin, who is by all accounts dead. [STEVEN] She only said he might be. [MUSS] And what about the Doctor? [STEVEN] I don't know. [MUSS] I think I do. Your friend is the Abbot of Amboise. [STEVEN] No. At least, I don't see how he can be. Unless [MUSS] What? [STEVEN] It is just possible that the Doctor is pretending to be theAbbot. [MUSS] For what reason? [STEVEN] Wait until I find the Abbot. [MUSS] So that you can get further instructions? [STEVEN] Nicholas, please believe me. I know nothing about Vassy or theCatholics or half of what you talk about. If the Doctor is pretendingto be the Abbot then it's for a very good reason. Please let me go tohim. Should I find out there is a plot of some kind, I'll come back andtell you. [MUSS] No, you'll come back with me now. There are others who shoulddecide before I do. --------------------------------------- (Abbot's apartments) [DUVALL] Where is the Abbot? He knew I might bringword. I've been waiting here for over half an hour. [COLBERT] He may be with Maurevert. [DUVALL] Will you never learn? Call the assassin Bondeaux. If the SeaBeggar should find out Maurevert is in Paris he'd be put on his guardat once. Why do you think we've chosen code names so very carefully? [COLBERT] I'm sorry. [DUVALL] You've already been responsible for one mistake. There must beno more. [COLBERT] I parted with the Abbot at de Coligny's house. He did not tellme where he was going. [DUVALL] Oh, very well. Tell me what you know about the Abbot. [COLBERT] He's been specially appointed by the Cardinal. [DUVALL] I don't mean that. How long have you known him? [COLBERT] I only met him yesterday, but he's worked for His Eminence theCardinal of Lorraine for many years and has done him many services. [DUVALL] You saw him for the first time yesterday? [COLBERT] No, I met him for the first time. I saw him once at anencyclical meeting held by the Cardinal. [DUVALL] And that was the only time you've seen him? [COLBERT] Yes. [DUVALL] Tell me. When you saw Nicholas Muss this morning, who else wasthere? [COLBERT] The Viscount de Laran, and the girl is certainly there,because I saw her. [DUVALL] She's of no importance now. No one else was with them? [COLBERT] A third man, but I didn't know him. [DUVALL] Was he English? [COLBERT] I don't know. He didn't speak. [DUVALL] I want you to find out about him. If he is English, find outwho he is and what his business is in France. --------------------------------------- (de Coligny's house) [ANNE] Like I said, Monsieur, I never seen himbefore in my life. I just ran into him when the Abbot's guards wereafter me and I thought he was one of them. [MUSS] Why? [ANNE] Well, because I was frightened and and when he held out his armsas if to stop me, and I thought he was one of them, but he isn't. [MUSS] How do you know? [ANNE] Because he's kind, Monsieur, and gentle. [GASTON] Nicholas, you're back. How was the Port Saint Martin? [MUSS] Be quiet Gaston! Now listen. [GASTON] Well, there's a welcome. I've got good news. Henri of Navarrehas decided to increase his guard. [MUSS] And I have bad news. Steven's escaped. He must've been sent hereby the Catholics. [ANNE] That's not true! [GASTON] What's that? [ANNE] Forgive me, Monsieur, but, well I'm sure he's a stranger here. Heknows nothing about anything or or what's going on in Paris. Why, hedon't even know about the royal wedding. [GASTON] Get out of here. [ANNE] But, Monsieur [GASTON] Get out! [GASTON] You're too kind to these nothings. Now, tell me what's beenhappening. [MUSS] We didn't find the man who's supposed to look like the Abbot. Iwas bringing Steven back here when he got away. [GASTON] How? [MUSS] We were on our way back when he suddenly tripped me and pushed meinto a passer-by. I was taken by surprise. I went after him but it washopeless. [GASTON] I knew I should have come with you. Still, we know where tofind him. [MUSS] Yes, with the Abbot of Amboise. --------------------------------------- (Outside the Abbot's apartments) (Abbot's apartments) [TAVANNES] So my Lord Abbot is not here and youdon't know where he is to be found? [COLBERT] I'm afraid not, Marshall. [TAVANNES] After my instructions to you earlier today I would have hopedthat I could put more faith in you. [COLBERT] I'm sorry but we did look everywhere. [TAVANNES] There's a draught in here. Close those shutters. [TAVANNES] Between you, you will find the Abbot and you will give himthis message for me. Say the decision has been made. [DUVALL] You mean [TAVANNES] You interrupt me, Simon. Tell him the Sea Beggar diestomorrow. [COLBERT] Tomorrow? Where? [TAVANNES] He will attend an early council meeting at the Louvre. On hisreturn, Bondeaux will be waiting for him. [COLBERT] Do you wish that the Abbot instructs Bondeaux? [TAVANNES] No. Bondeaux already has his orders. You may tell the Abbotthat also, when you find him. Is that clear? [COLBERT] Yes, Marshall. [TAVANNES] Good. [DUVALL] So, the royal command has been given. [COLBERT] What do you mean? [DUVALL] That order didn't come from Marshall Tavannes. It came from theQueen Mother. --------------------------------------- (de Coligny's house) [ANTOINE] He won't be long, Monsieur, if you'll wait in here. [STEVEN] Thanks. [GASTON] Nicholas, there's. What are you doing? [STEVEN] Listen, where is Nicholas? I have some important news. [GASTON] I'm sure you have. And I've got some for you too. Get out ofhere! [STEVEN] Look, you don't understand. [GASTON] What placement are you looking for, a spy? Some moreinformation for your Abbot? [STEVEN] Listen to me! [GASTON] I'd rather listen to a pack of screaming devils! [STEVEN] Gaston! There is a [GASTON] Get out of! [STEVEN] For goodness sake. [GASTON] Get out of here. [STEVEN] Gaston [GASTON] Get out! [MUSS] Gaston, what are you doing? [GASTON] Oh, you're having a very bad effect on me, my friend. I justspared that wretch's life. [MUSS] What are you talking about? [GASTON] That Englishman. [MUSS] Steven? [GASTON] Yes, I caught him here. [MUSS] What did he say? [GASTON] Say? Nothing. [MUSS] But why did he come back? [GASTON] He was spying. I caught him going through your papers. [MUSS] He must have had a message otherwise he'd never have come back. [GASTON] I tell you he was going through your papers. [MUSS] Where did he go? [GASTON] How should I know? Probably back to that animal from Amboise. [MUSS] Steven said he'd come back here if he found out somethingimportant. Did he say anything? [GASTON] Nothing! Well don't tell me you still trust him! [MUSS] Oh, for pity's sake go back to the Louvre. Go back and protectyour Lord of Navarre. It's almost time for the curfew. --------------------------------------- (Street) [ANNE] Oh! [STEVEN] Anne, what are you doing following me? [ANNE] I'm sorry, Monsieur, I didn't mean any harm. [STEVEN] What are you doing here? The curfew's ringing. Go back to thehouse. [ANNE] No. I can't go back there now. They'll know where to find me. Iwant to come with you. [STEVEN] But you can't, I mean, and why? [ANNE] You were kind to me. You're the first one that ever was. Please,don't send me back there. [STEVEN] I can't take you with me. I've nowhere to go myself. [ANNE] Well, I know Paris, I'll help you find somewhere. [STEVEN] Well, I. Yes. Anne, do you know who the Sea Beggar is? [ANNE] What? [STEVEN] Who is the Sea Beggar? [ANNE] I don't know, Monsieur. Why? [STEVEN] He's going to be killed tomorrow. All right then, if you insiston coming with me, do you know where we can spend tonight? [ANNE] We can't go to my aunt's. They'll be looking for me there. Theremust be lots of places in Paris where no one would think of finding me. [STEVEN] Yes, of course, Preslin's shop. Do you know how to get to thePort Saint Martin? [ANNE] Of course. [STEVEN] Take me there. I've only been there once. I don't think I canfind it on my own. [ANNE] I'll show you. --------------------------------------- (de Coligny's house) [MUSS] Admiral. [DE COLIGNY] You're working late. [MUSS] I thought you were asleep. [DE COLIGNY] Nonsense. I've been with the King. [MUSS] Do you wish to give me some notes? [DE COLIGNY] No, not tonight. I think I've persuaded him. [MUSS] You've got the King to agree to war with Spain? [DE COLIGNY] It's possible. If he doesn't change his mind by themorning, we are to join with the Dutch. Do you know, Nicholas, afterI'd explained the situation to him, he turned to me and he said, if wedo ally ourselves with the Dutch, you, de Coligny, will go down tohistory as the Sea Beggar. The Sea Beggar. It's a title I'd be proudof. --------------------------------------- (Preslin's shop) [STEVEN] Oh, it's only you. What's the time? [ANNE] Oh, I'm sorry, Monsieur. I didn't mean to wake you, I, I [STEVEN] Never mind. What time is it? [ANNE] It's dawn, Monsieur. The tocsin's rung. Curfew's over. [STEVEN] And the Sea Beggar dies today. [ANNE] Are we going to leave Paris now? [STEVEN] No. No, I'm sorry, Anne, but I must go back to the Abbot'shouse. [ANNE] No! Monsieur, no! [STEVEN] I must! Now my friend should be there by now. He may know whothe SeaBeggar is. [ANNE] If you go back there, they'll arrest you. [STEVEN] No, they won't. The Doctor should be able to stop them. [ANNE] They'll recognise you before you can find him. The Captain of theGuard and Monsieur Colbert. [STEVEN] Hmm. Perhaps if I disguise. See if we can find some otherclothes. [STEVEN] Yes, well, this should do. [ANNE] Ugh, but it's so dirty, Monsieur. [STEVEN] Yes, well, never mind. Now, if I can find that hat. [ANNE] Monsieur? [STEVEN] Oh, good girl. Yes, well, I don't think the Captain'llrecognise me in this. --------------------------------------- (Council Chamber) [DE COLIGNY] If we ally ourselves to the Dutch in their conflict withSpain, the common cause will unify the country, and prevent furthercivil strife. [TAVANNES] Oh, surely the marriage between Henri of Navarre and HisMajesty's sister have already put an end to the disturbances? [DE COLIGNY] For how long? As I have pointed out frequently in thischamber, it would take but one small incident and the whole of Pariscould be in uproar. [TAVANNES] Incidents occur daily, yet still the city does not rise. [DE COLIGNY] If we allied ourselves with the Dutch even those incidentswould not take place. [CHARLES] My Admiral has a good point there. Pray accept it, Marshall,and let us finish with this tedious business. [TAVANNES] Your Majesty, France cannot afford this war. [CHARLES] So we are told frequently by our mother. [TAVANNES] The recent conflicts inside the country have brought usalmost to ruin. There is no money to pay for the forces that would beneeded to wage war with Spain. [TOLIGNY] But is it not so that under the treaty signed at Loire, theEnglish will come to our assistance? [CHARLES] Not you as well, my little Councillor? The Admiral and theMarshall quarrel well enough without assistance. [TOLIGNY] I apologise, Sire. I had hoped to end the deadlock betweenthem. [CHARLES] It was good to hear a different voice. So, Elizabeth ofEngland has agreed to help us? [TAVANNES] Does anyone here trust her? She breaks more promises than shekeeps. [DE COLIGNY] She has no love for Spain. [TAVANNES] She has yet to come out into the open and say so. However, ifYour Majesty is so eager to fight this war, perhaps we could raise themoney by leasing the Alpine hunting grounds to Italy? [CHARLES] Do you mock me, Marshall? [TAVANNES] Of course not, Sire, but the war will have to be paid for.Some sacrifices will have to be made. [CHARLES] We will give away nothing of our land. [TOLIGNY] Besides, the bears there are French. They might not like to besold. [CHARLES] Ha! True. Next winter you will accompany us on our hunt. [DE COLIGNY] Your Majesty, there is enough money in France to financethe war. [CHARLES] Enough of this war. I am bored with Spain. [DE COLIGNY] But I beg to advise Your Majesty [CHARLES] No, Admiral, please talk of it some other time. War is sotedious. Move to matters closer to us. [DE COLIGNY] If the King refuses to make war, may it please God thatanother war will not be forced on him, which it will not be easy torenounce. --------------------------------------- (Preslin's shop) [ANNE] No, Monsieur. I won't stay here alone. [STEVEN] Then you must come with me. [ANNE] But they'll arrest me at the Abbot's house. [STEVEN] They won't. Now look, I'm almost certain that my friend ispretending to be the Abbot. Now he'll make sure that no harm comes toyou. [ANNE] Oh, but Monsieur [STEVEN] Now you must trust me. I'll take care of you. [ANNE] You've been very kind to me, Monsieur, but, well, I'm afraid togo back to that house. [STEVEN] Look, I'll be with you. Besides, you won't stay here, so wherewill you go? [ANNE] Well, all right. I'll come with you. [STEVEN] Look, if anything happens on the way to the Abbot, if I'mrecognised then we'll have to run. Now you must come back here, do youunderstand? [ANNE] But supposing they catch me? [STEVEN] No, they won't. I'll be the one they chase. Now if you comeback here I'll know where to find you, and I can join you as soon aspossible. [ANNE] All right. [STEVEN] Good girl. Come on. --------------------------------------- (Council Chamber) [DE COLIGNY] How much longer are the Huguenots tosuffer these frequent violations of their rights? [TAVANNES] The treaty drawn up by the Queen Mother to conclude thereligious difficulties of the country was generous in the extreme tothe free thinkers. [DE COLIGNY] Words were spoken. Signatures were exchanged. But they didnot prevent many acts against the Huguenots. [TAVANNES] Do you question the promises of the Queen Mother, Admiral? [DE COLIGNY] It is easy to promise. [TAVANNES] You speak treason! [CHARLES] Enough! Why is it not possible for our councillors to talkwithout quarrelling? [DE COLIGNY] Sire, it is imperative that the religious differences ofthe country be fully discussed. [CHARLES] Admiral, grant me but a few days more in which to amuse myselfand then I promise you, as King, that I shall make you happy and allthose of your religion. [DE COLIGNY] Kings are recognised only by the power they wield. TheQueen Mother seems to claim this power. Take care, Your Majesty, thatit does not prove detrimental to yourself, and to France. [TAVANNES] Your Majesty [CHARLES] Tavannes, no more. [CATHERINE] Marshall. [CHARLES] This meeting is over. Since my noble mother's seen fit todepart, let us do likewise. We need to get on the Feast of SaintBartholomew, so until the day after tomorrow, let us enjoy ourselves. [TOLIGNY] Was that wise? To insult the Queen will only make her workharder against you. [DE COLIGNY] It was time her power was challenged. [TOLIGNY] The King still fears his mother. Surely this may damage allfor which you've worked so hard? [DE COLIGNY] Let us hope not. [CHARLES] Ha, ha! Admiral, come with us. We are going to play tennis. [DE COLIGNY] Your Majesty, I must beg to be excused. I have work whichmust be done. [CHARLES] Oh, my dear Admiral, we are pleased with you. Since now ourmother will not speak to us for the rest of today, you will come withus. I have a new racquet I want you to see. Come. --------------------------------------- (Abbot's apartments) [PRIEST] You will have to wait in here. The Abbotcannot be disturbed. [STEVEN] Yes, but I must speak to him. It's most important. [PRIEST] You do not understand, young man. The Abbot is saying hisoffice. [STEVEN] His what? [PRIEST] His office. We cannot disturb him while he is at prayer. [STEVEN] Well, how long's he going to be? [PRIEST] You must curb your impatience, young man. If you will tell mewhat your business is, then perhaps I can help you. [STEVEN] I have a message for the Abbot, concerning a man who is to dietoday. [PRIEST] If it is a case for the last sacraments, then there is no needto trouble the Abbot. I, myself, will come with you. [STEVEN] Well, no. I mean, I mean, it's very kind of you but [PRIEST] Is there something more? [STEVEN] Well, yes. And I can only discuss it with the Abbot. [ABBOT] What is this? [PRIEST] My Lord Abbot. [STEVEN] Oh, Doctor! [ABBOT] Silence! Who is this man, and why does he disturb my peace? [PRIEST] It appears he comes from a dying man. [ABBOT] Well? [STEVEN] I've brought back the servant who ran away. [ANNE] Monsieur! [ABBOT] You have done well, my son. Father, you may leave us. I willsettle this matter. [PRIEST] Very well, my Lord Abbot. [STEVEN] I felt you would be safer here, as Bondeaux waits for the SeaBeggar. [TAVANNES] Lord Abbot, a word with you. [ABBOT] The young man has returned the girl to us, Marshall. [TAVANNES] What girl? [ABBOT] The one who lodged with the Sea Beggar. [TAVANNES] Oh, she is of no importance. I must speak with you alone. [ABBOT] Very well. Take the girl and wait outside. I'll tend you later. [TAVANNES] Is Bondeaux prepared? [ABBOT] Of course. I never fail. Neither do my servants. [TAVANNES] Is Bondeaux prepared to go to the Place Saint Germain? [ANNE] Listen! [ABBOT] Bondeaux has been prepared for the last two hours. [STEVEN] Quick, we've got to tell Nicholas. [ABBOT] Is the Sea Beggar on his way home? [TAVANNES] I don't know. The King delayed him after the council and hehad seen fit to insult the Queen Mother and His Majesty was naturallypleased with him. [ABBOT] de Coligny will allow no one to take him away from his work. Ithink we can take it he is on his way by now. [COLBERT] The girl. The servant who ran away [ABBOT] Colbert! How dare you interrupt us! [COLBERT] But she is with the Englishman from the Admiral's house. I'vejust seen them. [TAVANNES] What? [COLBERT] The Englishman with the girl. He's the one who was with theHuguenots. [TAVANNES] Who did he say he was? [ABBOT] I never asked him. [TAVANNES] Fetch them back. [COLBERT] I've sent the guards after them. He was taking her out theside door. [TAVANNES] My Lord Abbot, what mistake have you perpetrated now? [ABBOT] He could not hear what was being said. I sent him out of theroom. In any case, it is too late for him to warn the Admiral. [TAVANNES] For your sake it had better be. --------------------------------------- (de Coligny's house) [STEVEN [OC]] Will you get out of my way! [MUSS] Come in, Steven! [ANTOINE] But Monsieur, I cannot allow [STEVEN] Nicholas! Quickly, it's the Admiral. [ANTOINE] Monsieur, I am sorry [MUSS] Be quiet! What's wrong? [STEVEN] The plot! [MUSS] The Catholics? [STEVEN] Yes! It's the Admiral they're going to kill! [MUSS] de Coligny? [STEVEN] Today! Now! [MUSS] But how? [STEVEN] I don't know, but you've got to warn him. [MUSS] He's at the Louvre. There's a council meeting. [STEVEN] No, it's over. They're going to kill him on the way back. [MUSS] Where? [STEVEN] The Rue Saint, Saint Germain? [MUSS] The Place Saint Germain? [STEVEN] Yes! [MUSS] Stay here! --------------------------------------- (Street) [MUSS] Admiral! Admiral! [DE COLIGNY] See how honest men are treated in France? The shot camefrom that window. [MUSS] Search the house! We must get him to a surgeon! --------------------------------------- (Abbot's apartments) [TAVANNES] We should have heard by now. [ABBOT] The King may have delayed him further. [TAVANNES] Due to your stupidity the Englishman has had a chance to warnhim. [ABBOT] I said he did not hear anything. [TAVANNES] Then why did he run off? [ABBOT] I don't know. [TAVANNES] If this should go wrong, you are to blame, and you will bethe one to answer for it. [ABBOT] The Cardinal [TAVANNES] Is in Rome and cannot help you now. [ABBOT] If de Coligny is delayed by the King, then the news of his deathwill be delayed also. Bondeaux is an excellent marksman. You know that.There is only one thing for us to do, and that is to wait. Meantime, Iwill retire to my room. [TAVANNES] You will not. You will wait here with me. [COLBERT] Father Abbot. [TAVANNES] Well? [COLBERT] The attempt has failed. [ABBOT] I see. Was Bondeaux caught? [COLBERT] He rode away. But the Admiral was only wounded, not killed. [TAVANNES] So, the Sea Beggar lives. You have failed! Call the guards!It is strange, Father Abbot, that since you came everything which hadbeen so carefully planned has gone wrong. [TAVANNES] This man is a traitor to the Queen. Kill him. You heard myorder, kill him! --------------------------------------- (Council chamber) [CATHERINE] Monsieur De Toligny, I am waiting. [TOLIGNY] I'm sorry, Your Majesty, but the news I have must be givenfirst to the King. [CHARLES] Now what's the matter? Why must I always be interrupted? And Iwas winning. [TOLIGNY] Your pardon, Sire, but I bring news of the greatestimportance. [CHARLES] Well, what is it? [TOLIGNY] Admiral de Coligny has been severely wounded. [CHARLES] What? [TOLIGNY] Someone tried to shoot him. [CHARLES] Will I never have any peace! [TOLIGNY] Your Majesty, the Admiral is badly hurt. [CHARLES] What happened? [TOLIGNY] The assassins were waiting in the Rue de Place Saint Germain.As we came down the street they fired at him. [CHARLES] Were they caught? [TOLIGNY] No, Sire. We searched the house and found the weapon, but themen had gone. [CHARLES] Well, they must be found. An inquiry. Call the council. TheAdmiral's assassins must be caught and punished! Call the council! --------------------------------------- (de Coligny's house) [DE COLIGNY] Oh, my head. [MUSS] My little father. I will see you avenged. [DE COLIGNY] Take me to my own room. Help me up. [MUSS] No, Admiral, wait for the surgeon. He'll be here soon. [DE COLIGNY] Why did they do it? [ANTOINE] Monsieur, are you sure we should not take him to his own room? [MUSS] No, he's lost too much blood. Go and wait for the surgeon. Bringhim straight in. [ANTOINE] Yes, Monsieur. [STEVEN] Nicholas, I'm sorry. I tried to tell Gaston, he wouldn't listento me. [MUSS] I know, he told me. [STEVEN] I knew that the Sea Beggar was going to be killed. Until thismorning I didn't know who that was. [MUSS] I could've told you. How did you find out? [STEVEN] Oh, when I ran away from you yesterday, I went to the Abbot'shouse. Well, the Doctor wasn't there, but I overheard some men talkingabout the Sea Beggar. [MUSS] Who were they? [STEVEN] Oh, I don't know. But, well, one of them was the same man whocame to see the Abbot this morning. [MUSS] So the Abbot is behind this. [STEVEN] No! The Abbot is the Doctor. Now that I've seen him I'm certainof it. He's just pretending to be the Abbot, that's all. [MUSS] Now listen, Steven. [TOLIGNY] How is he? [MUSS] He's very weak. [TOLIGNY] The King has called for an inquiry but it won't do any good. [MUSS] What do you mean? [TOLIGNY] As I left the Louvre I heard that some of our men have takenthe law into their own hands. [MUSS] How? [TOLIGNY] The Abbot of Amboise was murdered just outside his own house. [STEVEN] What? [TOLIGNY] The Abbot is dead and they're blaming it on the Huguenots. [STEVEN] But, he wasn't the Abbot! [TOLIGNY] The King has summoned the council. I must return to theLouvre. Take care of him, Nicholas. [MUSS] Of course. --------------------------------------- (Council chamber) [CHARLES] And, Marshall, since you claim to knownothing of this attempted assassination, I have a special charge foryou. You will be responsible for the Admiral's safety. Empty the streetof Catholics, station your men around his house, and mark me well, ifanything further happens to him, you pay with your head. [TOLIGNY] We do not need the Marshall's protection, Sire. To driveCatholics from their homes will only make them hate us even more. [TAVANNES] Is that possible? Your concern for your friends does youcredit, Sire. [CHARLES] I gave you an order! See it is done! [TOLIGNY] But Sire. [CHARLES] Not another word from either side! I've had enough of yourbickering. Leave me, all of you. [CATHERINE] You summoned the council? [CHARLES] I gave orders I was to be left alone. [CATHERINE] Without my knowledge or consent? [CHARLES] I asked to be left alone, mother. [CATHERINE] The threat over your friend, the Admiral. You are the King. [CHARLES] Yes, I am the King, and to be obeyed! Now keep out of my sightunless you care to end your days in a convent. [CATHERINE] I would wish you have the courage, my son. [CHARLES] I have but to give the order. [CATHERINE] Summon your guards, have me arrested. But you had betterhave a good reason for the council and for the people. [CHARLES] The attempted assassination of my Admiral, by you andTavannes. Do you deny it, Madame? [CATHERINE] No. [CHARLES] Have a care. I mean what I say. I shall send Tavannes to theblock! [CATHERINE] You would execute the Marshall of France for doing his duty? [CHARLES] Duty? He's an assassin! [CATHERINE] He tried to rid you of a dangerous enemy. [CHARLES] de Coligny is my friend. You, Madame, are my enemy. [CATHERINE] If ever I were to be. [CHARLES] May God help you. [CATHERINE] Look at these before you decide who are your enemies. Youthink the Huguenots would stop at killing me? They want your blood too. [CHARLES] So you keep telling me every day of my life. Why? I protectthem. They're all my subjects. What have they to gain? [CATHERINE] Until now, nothing. [CHARLES] And now? [CATHERINE] We have a Protestant prince in Paris, Henri of Navarre. Youthink they give a fig for your protection, now that one of their own iswithin grasp of the throne? --------------------------------------- (Street) [MAN] The Huguenots must have done it! [WOMAN] The free thinkers! [MAN] They shouldn't be allowed to come here! They done it! [2ND WOMAN] It's a wicked thing. [MAN] The Huguenots will stop at nothing! They even kill our priests. [2ND MAN] Nothing is sacred to the Huguenots! [MAN] Something will have to be done! The Huguenots must be banned fromentering towns! [2ND MAN] Kill the Huguenots! They will kill these poor defencelesspriests elsewhere! No! Lock them up! [COLBERT] You are certain that no one saw the body brought here? [GUARD] Positive. Just look at them. They all believe the Huguenotskilled him. [COLBERT] Good. [STEVEN] Doctor, what happened? What have they done? [WOMAN] The Huguenots murdered him! [STEVEN] No! [MAN] They did. We saw them! [WOMAN] There were fifteen of them! [MAN] They struck him down! But he'll be revenged! [COLBERT] Hold that man! He's responsible! [MAN] After him, guards! Catch him! --------------------------------------- (Preslin's shop) [STEVEN [OC]] Anne! Anne, you there? Anne! [ANNE] Oh, Monsieur! I'd given you up for lost when you didn't come backlast night. I thought the guards must have caught you. [STEVEN] Yes, they nearly did. I managed to shake them off. I'm sorry,Anne. The curfew rang before I could get back last night. The guardswere still looking for me this morning. That's why I've been so long. [ANNE] Did you see Monsieur Muss and give him your message? [STEVEN] Oh, yes. The warning was too late. [ANNE] What will you do now? Go back to your friend, the Doctor. [STEVEN] I can't. He's dead. [ANNE] Monsieur! [STEVEN] I saw his body lying in the street by the Abbot's house. BeforeI could do anything Roger Colbert saw me and sent the guards after meagain. Heaven knows what I do now. [ANNE] Return to England? [STEVEN] I can't. I've got to find the key to the Tardis. [ANNE] What Monsieur? [STEVEN] Ah. The Doctor has a special key. Without it I can't leave. [ANNE] Well, do you know where it is? [STEVEN] No. If the Doctor had it with him then I'm lost. I didn't havetime to look for it. My only hope is that it's still with his ownclothes. [ANNE] You mean at the Abbot's house? [STEVEN] Oh, no, no. He would have had to change before he went there.The only other place I think he's been to is this shop. [ANNE] Oh, but we've already searched here, Monsieur, looking forclothes here. [STEVEN] And we must do it again! Please help me. Open every cupboard,every box. I must find that key. [ANNE] Right, Monsieur. --------------------------------------- (Tavannes' study) [TAVANNES] It may hinder the inquiry into the attempted assassination ofde Coligny. [DUVALL] Surely the King is insisting that de Coligny is avenged? [TAVANNES] He is. But by blaming the death of the Abbot on the Huguenotswe may be able to cover our tracks. [DUVALL] Will the King pay any attention to the Abbot's death? [TAVANNES] I don't know. Fortunately the Admiral himself is helping us.He doesn't want the inquiry yet so that may give us a little time. [DUVALL] Therefore the Englishman must be caught. [TAVANNES] And killed. He must not be allowed to get back to the Abbot'shouse. [DUVALL] The men are searching Paris for him. [TAVANNES] He must be found tonight. Tomorrow is Saint Bartholomew's Dayand it'll be all too easy for him to evade us in the revelry. [TAVANNES] The Queen Mother. She commands me to go to her. No doubt shehas thought of some further scheme to protect her good name. Wait forme here, Simon. I may have more instructions for you when I get back. --------------------------------------- (Preslin's shop) [STEVEN] Well? [ANNE] Nothing, Monsieur. There's no sign of your friend's clothesanywhere. [STEVEN] They must be here. [ANNE] All I found was this. [STEVEN] But, but this is his stick! [ANNE] Your friend's? [STEVEN] Yes. Well, his clothes must be here somewhere! Where did youfind it? [ANNE] In the back, Monsieur. But there are no clothes there. [STEVEN] You sure? [ANNE] Yes. I've searched everywhere! [STEVEN] Then why the stick? He couldn't have pretended to be the Abbotdressed as he was, so he must have changed somewhere. But where? [ANNE] Perhaps he went away somewhere with the apothecary who used tolive here? [STEVEN] What, with Preslin? No, he couldn't. [ANNE] Why not? [STEVEN] Because Preslin is either dead or in prison. [DOCTOR] He is not. [STEVEN] Doctor! --------------------------------------- (de Coligny's house) [GASTON] The Catholics will not rest until you are dead! [DE COLIGNY] You are too impetuous, Viscount. [TOLIGNY] The King is determined to prevent a further attempt. Why elsedo you think he's put so heavy a guard on this house? [GASTON] A Catholic guard under a Catholic commander! The Admiral couldhardly be in the care of a greater enemy. [TOLIGNY] He is under the protection of the King. [GASTON] And the Queen Mother. [MUSS] Gaston, you are tiring the Admiral, and doing yourself aninjustice. You had better return to the Louvre. [GASTON] Nicholas, no! If you were to leave Paris it would be better foryou and for us. [MUSS] The surgeon said the Admiral must not be moved. [GASTON] Then may God protect you. [DE COLIGNY] I hope Henri of Navarre realises how dangerous it is tohave such a hothead in his service. [TOLIGNY] He must be wrong. The commander wouldn't dare to disobey theKing after what has happened. [MUSS] Let's hope so. Is there anything you need, Admiral? [DE COLIGNY] Stay with me. [MUSS] Of course. [TOLIGNY] You must be grateful that the wounds are not poisoned, so thatthere is no fear of you dying. [DE COLIGNY] I do not fear death. I only hope we have nothing to fearfrom my staying alive. --------------------------------------- (Preslin's shop) [DOCTOR] Oh, my dear boy, had you stayed at thetavern all this mix-up could have been avoided. [STEVEN] I did stay at the tavern, you didn't turn up! [DOCTOR] Yes, well, I was unavoidably delayed. Never mind that now. Comealong, we must go. Come along. [ANNE] Oh, you cannot now, Monsieur. The curfew's rung. [DOCTOR] What? Oh, that wretched curfew is the start of so much trouble. [ANNE] It'll be easy to leave Paris in the morning, Monsieur. Tomorrow'sSaint Bartholomew's Day and everyone will be celebrating. [STEVEN] Huh! With all the trouble that's going on I can't see whatthey've got to celebrate. [DOCTOR] I told you not to get involved. [STEVEN] Look, I tried not to, but the Abbot did look like you, and if Ihadn't found out about Admiral de Coligny being the 'Sea Beggar' then [DOCTOR] What's that? [STEVEN] I tried to tell you before. Admiral de Coligny is one of theHuguenot leaders. The Catholics tried to shoot him. [DOCTOR] Did you say tomorrow was Saint Bartholomew's Day, child? [ANNE] Yes, Monsieur. [DOCTOR] What year is this, my boy? [STEVEN] Oh, I don't know. What difference does it make? [DOCTOR] What date is it, child? [ANNE] Date, Monsieur? August the twenty-third as [DOCTOR] Yes, yes, yes, I know that. The year, the year, hmm? [ANNE] Fifteen seventy two, Monsieur. But surely you know that? [DOCTOR] Go home, Anne. You must leave here at once. [ANNE] No! I've got nowhere to go! [DOCTOR] Where were you working? [ANNE] At the Abbot's house. [DOCTOR] You go back there. [ANNE] I can't! They'll kill me! [DOCTOR] You must leave this shop, child. [STEVEN] Doctor, what's happening? [DOCTOR] Oh, please don't interfere. Now, my dear, there must besomewhere you can stay in Paris. [ANNE] No, there's only my aunt's place, and they'll kill me there. [DOCTOR] Oh, nonsense. Tonight you will be quite safe. Now you gocarefully through the streets. [ANNE] Well, what about the curfew? [DOCTOR] Well, you've been out in the curfew before, haven't you? [ANNE] Yes, but the guards [DOCTOR] Then you know how to avoid the patrols. You go back to youraunt. You'll be quite safe. And you take my advice and stay indoorstomorrow. Now do you understand? It's too dangerous for you to stayhere. Now off you go, child. Come along, off, off, off. [STEVEN] Look, Doctor, I don't think you understand [DOCTOR] Ah, sh sh sh sh sh sh sh. [ANNE] Goodbye, Monsieur Steven. Safe journey. [STEVEN] Doctor, I don't think she should go. [DOCTOR] Now off you go, my child. Off you go. [STEVEN] Goodbye. Look, are you sure she'll be all right? The guards arewaiting for her. [DOCTOR] My dear Steven, the Catholics will have other things on theirminds tonight. She will be quite safe. Now then, you and I must leaveParis at once. Come! [STEVEN] Look, Doctor, what is going on? [DOCTOR] There is no time for me to explain. Come along, boy. Comealong! --------------------------------------- (Tavannes' study) [TAVANNES] Simon? [CATHERINE] No, Marshall. [TAVANNES] Madame. I apologise, I thought that [CATHERINE] Never mind. I have it here, the order signed by the King.Our plans for tomorrow can go ahead. [TAVANNES] Thank God. [CATHERINE] God had very little to do with it. What is this? [TAVANNES] The list, Madame. When those Huguenots are killed we needhave no further fear of a Protestant France. [CATHERINE] We have no need of lists, Marshall. The good people of Parisknow their enemies. They will take care of them. [TAVANNES] The good people? Madame, if you rouse the mob the innocentwill perish with the guilty. [CATHERINE] Innocent? Heresy can have no innocents. France will breathof pure air after tomorrow. [TAVANNES] And Navarre, Madame, your son-in-law? Is he to be slaughteredwith the others? [CATHERINE] Tomorrow Henri of Navarre will pay for his pretensions tothe Crown. [TAVANNES] Madame, we must not kill Navarre. [CATHERINE] Must not? [TAVANNES] Protestant Europe will merely shed a pious tear over thedeath of a few thousand Huguenots. The death of a prince will launch aHoly War. [CATHERINE] If one Huguenot life escapes me tomorrow, we may both regretthis act of mercy. [TAVANNES] Not mercy, Madame. Policy. [CATHERINE] Very well, Marshall. Then you must get him out of Paris.After tomorrow, even I could not save him. [TAVANNES] I will see to it, Madame. [CATHERINE] And Marshall, close the gates of the city now. [DUVALL] Well, my lord? [TAVANNES] The order has been given. You may begin. [DUVALL] My men are ready. Where's the list? [TAVANNES] There is no list. [DUVALL] But I thought? [TAVANNES] We are to unleash the wolves of Paris. None are to be spared. [DUVALL] Even better, my lord. [TAVANNES] Is it? I wonder. And Simon, when you have passed on the orderI have a special charge for you. [DUVALL] My lord? [TAVANNES] Henri of Navarre. [DUVALL] I am to have the honour? [TAVANNES] Yes, but not of killing him. You will escort him out ofParis. [DUVALL] But my lord! [TAVANNES] You not hear me? You will be responsible for his safety. Youwill have to leave tomorrow's work to others. Now get out. [TAVANNES] At dawn tomorrow this city will weep tears of blood. --------------------------------------- (Street) [GUARD 1] Oh, it's nearly dawn. [GUARD 2] How many more nights have we got to watch over this Huguenot'shouse? [GUARD 1] Till the King decrees otherwise. [GUARD 2] But why does it have to be us? [DOCTOR] Yes, we shall have to get past them to get back to the Tardis. [STEVEN] Can we make a run for it? [DOCTOR] Oh no, no. It's far too dangerous. [STEVEN] What do we do? [DOCTOR] For the moment we just wait. [GUARD 2] I won't be sorry to see the night over. Hello, what's this? [GUARD 1] More orders, I expect. [OFFICER] You're relieved. Go back to your quarters. [GUARD 1] Relieved, sir? It's not due for an hour or more. [OFFICER] Don't argue. Go quickly! [STEVEN] Look, if we don't go soon it'll be light. [DOCTOR] I know, I know. Just keep quiet. [DOCTOR] There's the tocsin! The curfew's been lifted. [OFFICER] Open up! In the King's name! Open this door! --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [STEVEN] Surely there was something we could havedone? [DOCTOR] No, nothing. Nothing. In any case, I cannot change the courseof history, you know that. The massacre continued for several days inParis and then spread itself to other parts of France. Oh, what asenseless waste. What a terrible page of the past. [STEVEN] Did they all die? [DOCTOR] Yes, most of them. About ten thousand in Paris alone. [STEVEN] The Admiral? [DOCTOR] Yes. [STEVEN] Nicholas? You had to leave Anne Chaplet there to die. [DOCTOR] Anne Chaplet? [STEVEN] The girl! The girl who was with me! If you'd brought her withus she needn't have died. But no, you had to leave her there to beslaughtered. [DOCTOR] Well, it is possible of course she didn't die, and I was rightto leave her. [STEVEN] Possible? Look, how possible? That girl was already hunted bythe Catholic guards. If they killed ten thousand how did they spareher? You don't know, do you? You can't say for certain that you weren'tresponsible for that girl's death. [DOCTOR] I was not responsible. [STEVEN] Oh, no. You just sent her back to her aunt's house where theguards were waiting to catch her. I tell you this much, Doctor,wherever this machine of yours lands next I'm getting off. If yourresearches have so little regard for human life then I want no part ofit. [DOCTOR] We've landed. Your mind is made up? [STEVEN] Goodbye. [DOCTOR] My dear Steven, history sometimes gives us a terrible shock,and that is because we don't quite fully understand. Why should we?After all, we're all too small to realise its final pattern. Thereforedon't try and judge it from where you stand. I was right to do as Idid. Yes, that I firmly believe. [DOCTOR] Even after all this time he cannot understand. I dare notchange the course of history. Well, at least I taught him to take someprecautions. He did remember to look at the scanner before he openedthe doors. Now they're all gone. All gone. None of them couldunderstand. Not even my little Susan, or Vicki. And as for Barbara andChatterton. Chesterton. They were all too impatient to get back totheir own time. And now, Steven. Perhaps I should go home, back to myown planet. But I can't. I can't. [DOCTOR] Who are you? [DODO] Where's the telephone? [DOCTOR] What did you say? [DODO] The telephone. I've got to ring up. [DOCTOR] Oh, pull yourself together, child. I think you've made amistake. [DODO] Who are you? Are you the police? [DOCTOR] Oh, good gracious. Of course not. [DODO] Well, this is a police box. It says so outside. [DOCTOR] Yes, yes. I know. But, er, it isn't, if you know what I mean.Now run along and find another police box. In any case, child, what doyou want to do with the police? [DODO] There's been an accident. A little boy's been hurt and I've gotto phone the police. [DOCTOR] Oh, well, I'm afraid I can't help you. No, you must run alongand phone the police somewhere else. And the same time phone for anambulance. [DODO] Wait a minute, if this isn't a police box, what is it? And whoare you? [DOCTOR] Well, my dear, I'm a doctor of science, and this machine is fortravelling through time and relative dimensions in space. Now you [DODO] Come again? [DOCTOR] Oh, never mind, my dear, never mind. Run along. [DODO] There's something odd going on here. [DOCTOR] Oh please, child. [STEVEN] Doctor, quick! You've got to take off. [DOCTOR] Oh, so you've come back, my boy! [STEVEN] Yes, yes, I've come back. We can't go into that now. There aretwo policemen coming over the common towards the Tardis. [DOCTOR] Policemen? Coming here? Good gracious me! They'll want to usethe telephone or something like it. [STEVEN] Oh, that was close. [DOCTOR] Well, tell me, young man, what made you change your mind? [STEVEN] How did you get in here? [DODO] On me feet, same as you did. [STEVEN] Look, do you realise what's happening? We've taken off! Wecould land anywhere! [DODO] We really travelling? Where to? [STEVEN] But we're travelling in time and space. We're not on Earth anymore. We could land anywhere, in any age. [DODO] Tell us another one. [STEVEN] Doctor, how could you? [DOCTOR] What else could I do, dear boy? You don't want a couple ofpolicemen aboard the Tardis do you? You know, you're the mostinconsistent young man? Just now you were telling me off for not havingthat Chaplet girl aboard! [STEVEN] Ah, that was different! This is no joyride you know. You maynever get home again. [DODO] I don't care. [STEVEN] What about your parents? [DODO] I haven't got any. I live with me great aunt, and she won't careif she never sees me again. [DOCTOR] There now, you see? All this fuss about nothing. But don't youthink she looks rather like my grandchild Susan? [STEVEN] You forget, I've never met your granddaughter. [DOCTOR] Oh, no, no, no, no, of course not, no. Yes, but she does youknow. What is your name, child? [DODO] Dodo. [DOCTOR] What? [DODO] It's Dorothea, really. Dorothea Chaplet. [STEVEN] Chaplet? Yes, but you're not French, are you? [DODO] Don't be daft. Me granddad was, though. [STEVEN] Doctor, it's not possible is it? Chaplet? Anne's great, great [DOCTOR] Yes, yes, it is possible, my boy. Very possible. Welcome aboardthe Tardis, Miss Dorothea Chaplet. [DODO] Dodo! [DOCTOR] Oh, my dear! My dear!

Doctor Who (5 Mar, 1966; First Doctor) - The Ark (Jungle) [STEVEN] Just where do you think you're going? [DODO] Out. [STEVEN] Out? [DODO] Yes, I thought I'd get some fresh air. Somebody opened the doorand [STEVEN] But nobody said you could go out. [DODO] Do they have to then? [STEVEN] Well, of course they do. [STEVEN] Look, Dodo, you don't know what you might have found out here.No gravity, poisoned atmosphere, all sorts of things. Look, stopprancing around over there. What happens if you get lost? [DODO] I catch a bus back. [STEVEN] A bus? Look, what are you talking about? I mean, just where doyou think you are? [DODO] Ah! Bet you thought you'd caught me, didn't you? Bet you thoughtI didn't know. Well, I do. [STEVEN] You do? [DODO] Of course I do. [STEVEN] What, this place? I mean, you recognise it? What, with allthese strange animals and flowers and things? [STEVEN] Well, you can't have been here before. [DODO] Yes I have. It's just outside London. I came here once with theschool. It's called Whipsnade. [STEVEN] Just outside London? Look, wait a minute. I mean, it can't be. [DODO] Yes, it is. I bet if you go down that path there, you'll come tothe American Bison and the Tea Bar. [STEVEN] Look, we don't even know that we're on Earth. [DODO] Earth? Earth? Well, it couldn't be anywhere else now, could it?Hey, look Steven, that proves it. That's a chameleon. [STEVEN] What this? [DODO] And here's a monitor. Look, that's a Locust. There, what did Itell you? [STEVEN] Look, how do you know all this? [DODO] I learnt it at school. There's nothing you can tell me aboutnature, simply nothing. [STEVEN] Having second thoughts? [DODO] No! I just don't remember Whipsnade being so rowdy, that's all. [DOCTOR] Improbable as it may seem, dear boy, I think the child,Dorothea [DODO] Dodo! [DOCTOR] Oh yes, of course, my dear. Dodo is right. [STEVEN] What? You mean it is Earth? [DOCTOR] Well, I can't tell you just yet. All I can say is that it'smore likely to be Earth than anywhere else and it's very strangeindeed. You know, I've been taking a look at my instruments in thereand it's really very strange. --------------------------------------- (Control deck) [COMMANDER] Prisoner, you've been found guilty of extreme carelessnessin carrying out your duties. By leaving open a wide valve in the heatexchange unit, you could have caused an explosion that would have beenfatal not only to the human race, but also to our friends, the Monoids.As your commander, Galactic law gives me wide powers in such cases. Thesafety of our people must be preserved at all costs. In these gravecircumstances, the lightest sentence I can pass is one ofminiaturisation. Prepare the Minifier. Sentence will be carried outimmediately. The prisoner will be retained at micro-cell size, to bere-constituted in approximately seven hundred years time, when it canno longer be a danger to us. Does the prosecution accept this sentence? [ZENTOS] We do. [COMMANDER] Has the defence anything further to say on the prisoner'sbehalf? [MELLIUM] Father, anyone can make mistakes. He's not likely to do itagain. [COMMANDER] My child, we are the Guardians of the human race. You knowour responsibilities cannot be taken lightly. Under Galactic law, theonly alternative punishment would be expulsion. [MANYAK] Sir, the prisoner accepts the verdict and thanks you for yourclemency in not imposing a harsher sentence. [COMMANDER] Very well. Proceed. [MELLIUM] Goodbye. [ZENTOS] My learned friend wishes to thank you, sir, on behalf of theMonoids, for the care you take of us all. --------------------------------------- (Jungle) [DODO] Look, Doctor. [DODO] Hey, look at him then. [STEVEN] Well? [DOCTOR] Well, it's just as I said. It's all very, very strange. That isan Indian elephant. [STEVEN] Yes, I know. What difference does that make? What does itprove? [DOCTOR] Well, that's what I'm trying to find out, dear boy. [DODO] Flowers from America, birds from Africa, a snake from Brazil andnow an elephant from India. [DOCTOR] Exactly, my dear. [STEVEN] It's a jungle incorporating things from all over the world. [DOCTOR] Yes, you're quite right, my boy. Yes, and top of everythingelse, it's a jungle without a sky. [DODO] Hey, look at that then. [STEVEN] No sky? [DOCTOR] No sun, no clouds, merely a metal roof radiating some kind oflight. [STEVEN] It's extraordinary. [DOCTOR] Yes, and plus something else. [DODO] What's that? [DOCTOR] The earth, this, this ground we're standing on. It appears tobe trembling. [DODO] It is more elephants coming? [STEVEN] An earthquake building up? [DOCTOR] No, it's too regular for that. No, it's more of a mechanicalvibration. Yes. [STEVEN] Look. [DOCTOR] Extraordinary. [STEVEN] In what circumstances do you get all these things together? Imean, animals and vegetable life from different continents? [DODO] With a metal roof and all this shaking? [DOCTOR] There's only one thing that strikes me. This could be some kindof indoor nature park. [STEVEN] Yes, but on this scale? [DOCTOR] Yes, yes, improbable dear boy, but possible. Definitelypossible. [DODO] But are we on Earth or, or [DOCTOR] Mmm? [DODO] Choo! (Dodo sneezes again.) [DOCTOR] Oh, bless you my dear. [DODO] Oh, thanks. [DOCTOR] You have a handkerchief, I hope? [DODO] Of course I have. [DOCTOR] Well then, use it, my child! We must do something about thatcold of yours. That reminds me, why are you dressed in these stupidclothes? Have you been footling about in my wardrobe? Is that what itis? What do you think you're playing at, crusades? [DODO] I'm not playing at anything. Is it all right to wear, or do Ihave to ask permission for that as well? [DOCTOR] Yes, you do my dear. Now you take care of them because younever know when we might use them. Now, I suggest we take a last lookround and we'll get you off to bed. [DODO] Oh, you're not going to send me home, are you? [DOCTOR] Home? Ho, ho! What an idea. I couldn't send you home even if Iwanted to. [DODO] Oh, that's all right, then. I think I'm beginning to enjoy thisspace travel or whatever it is. --------------------------------------- (Control deck) [ZENTOS] Commander? [COMMANDER] Yes, Zentos? [ZENTOS] A strange report from the jungle. The Monoids acquaint us ofintruders. [COMMANDER] Intruders? But how can that be? How could they have enteredit? [ZENTOS] I've no idea. I'll try and trace them. [MELLIUM] But surely it's impossible for anyone to be in the jungle thatwe don't know about? Well, where will they have come from? [COMMANDER] I don't know. Perhaps when we see them? [ZENTOS] Here they are. [COMMANDER] They look like human beings, but they can't be. We accountedfor everyone. [ZENTOS] Shall we not arrest them and bring them here and question them? [MELLIUM] Father, look. It seems to be their spaceship. It is an unusualdesign. [COMMANDER] Are we sure this is nothing to do with the Monoids? [ZENTOS] Quite sure. It was they who reported it. [COMMANDER] Good, then you're right. They must be questioned. ButZentos, not arrested. Invited. --------------------------------------- (Jungle) [DODO] Doctor, Steven, get a look at these fabpictures! [DOCTOR] Ah, fab, hmm. My dear child, if you're going to be with us forany length of time, you'll have to do something about that English ofyours. [DODO] What's wrong with it? [DOCTOR] It's terrible, child. Oh, it's most irritating. Well, look atthat now. Isn't that extraordinary? Ah, very interesting. It looks likea zebra with two heads. [STEVEN] Yes, well, that could be the imagination of the artist. [DOCTOR] Hmm, perhaps and perhaps not. What then. Yes, we've alreadyestablished this place as illogical. Why shouldn't there be animalswith two heads? [STEVEN] No reason at all, except that the more we see of it, the lesslike Earth it becomes. [DODO] What's that? Do you think somebody's seen us. [STEVEN] There's only one way to find out. [DOCTOR] Yes! [STEVEN] You were right. It is an alarm. They've found the Tardis. Ican't say I like the look of them. [DODO] What's that? [STEVEN] They're coming this way, searching for us. [DODO] There's a kind of cave there. [STEVEN] Go on, you go ahead. [DOCTOR] Yes, yes. What do they look like, dear boy? [STEVEN] Terrifying. Is this is Earth, it's no longer inhabited by humanbeings. [DOCTOR] Shh. You'll frighten the child. Come on. --------------------------------------- (Cave) [DODO] What are they? Some awful [DOCTOR] Now, don't worry child. You're quite safe with us. [DODO] Yeah, but supposing they have two heads? [STEVEN] Bless you. Remind me never to take you out again when you'vegot a cold. [DOCTOR] Now, let's try and get back to the Tardis. Take care. Thismight be dangerous. [STEVEN] Quiet! (Dodo sniffles.) What's the matter? Are you crying? [DODO] No, me nose is running! [DOCTOR] Just do as he says, child. This may be very difficult. --------------------------------------- (Jungle) [STEVEN] Doctor! [DOCTOR] Why, yes, of course. Yes! I know where I am now. Yes, indeed! [STEVEN] It looks like some sort of city, factory? [DOCTOR] No, no, no, dear boy. All this is a spaceship! [STEVEN] A spaceship? [DOCTOR] Yes, exactly! [DODO] Hey, Doctor? If this is a spaceship what are they? --------------------------------------- (Control deck) [COMMANDER] You travel in that black box? [STEVEN] Yes. [COMMANDER] Well, how are you able to make your spaceship enter ours? [STEVEN] It isn't just a spaceship. It can travel anywhere in time orspace. [ZENTOS] Why have you chosen to come here? [STEVEN] Well, we didn't. It has a mind of its own. [COMMANDER] I don't understand. Experiments to pass through the fourthdimension were undertaken in the twenty seventh segment of time. Theywere unsuccessful. How can anything so crude [STEVEN] Look, I told you before. The Doctor's the one who will tell youwhat you want to know. [STEVEN] May I ask a question also? [ZENTOS] No! [COMMANDER] Why not? We're all friends here. [STEVEN] Look, is this really a spaceship? This city and all thatsurrounds it? [COMMANDER] Yes, indeed. [COMMANDER] Here we are. [STEVEN] That's the biggest we've ever seen. Look, who are you and thesecreatures that serve you? [COMMANDER] Like you, we come from the Earth. The origin of the Monoidsis obscure. They came to Earth many years ago, apparently from theirown planet which was dying. They offered us their invaluable servicesfor being allowed to come on this joint voyage. [STEVEN] And where you are going? [COMMANDER] To Refusis Two. The Earth also is dying. We have left it forthe last time. [STEVEN] The last time? [COMMANDER] Yes. In a short time it will burn and be swallowed in thepull of the Sun. [STEVEN] Then we must have journeyed forward millions of years. [ZENTOS] You yourself, I take it, are human? [STEVEN] Why yes, of course. [COMMANDER] Why do you doubt him? [ZENTOS] They could be Refusians sent here to intercept us, to sabotageour mission. [STEVEN] Refusians? From the planet you're headed for? [COMMANDER] Explain. [ZENTOS] We only know them as intelligence's that inhabit that planet.They might have a way of assuming human bodies, of using them to pass,to mingle amongst us! [DOCTOR] Oh, rubbish, rubbish. With all our imperfections, I can assureyou, sir, if you were to cut my skin, I would bleed, the same as youwould. [STEVEN] That's right. [DOCTOR] There you see, complete with chills. [ZENTOS] Chills? [DOCTOR] A virus fever which used to be quite common to the human being. [COMMANDER] And cured so long ago we've forgotten what it was like.Fascinating! It's like history coming to life. Tell me, Doctor, if youcannot direct your spacecraft, your journeys must take you to somestrange places. [MELLIUM] What were you telling him? [ZENTOS] I wish to know more of the traveller's spacecraft. [MELLIUM] You do not trust the travellers? [ZENTOS] I know nothing of them. Your father trusts them. [MELLIUM] He knows no more than you. He simply has faith. [ZENTOS] So have I, in my own eyes and ears, and machines tell fewerlies than men. [DOCTOR] Including the Daleks. [COMMANDER] Nero, the Trojan wars, the Daleks. But all that happened inthe first segment of time. [DOCTOR] Segment? To use your phrase, sir, what segment are we in now? [COMMANDER] The fifty seventh. [DOCTOR] Good gracious! We must have jumped at least ten million years. [STEVEN] When do you expect your journey to end? [COMMANDER] Not for a long time. Neither I, nor my daughter Mellium, norZentos, will ever see the planet. That pleasure is reserved for ourchildren's children, many years hence. [STEVEN] How long from now? [COMMANDER] Using your measurement of time, seven hundred years. [DOCTOR] Seven hundred years, but why travel that far? Surely [COMMANDER] Only Refusis has the same conditions that we had on Earth.Atmosphere, water, the right temperature. [STEVEN] Has anyone ever been there? [COMMANDER] No. Our knowledge is based purely on audio-space research. [STEVEN] No wonder you had to bring everything. At least two of each, Isuppose? [DODO] Like the Ark? [COMMANDER] The Ark? [DODO] Yeah, Noah's ark. You know, two by two. The flood. [COMMANDER] I'm afraid I don't know. But we do have the Earth's fullpopulation, human and animal. [DOCTOR] Yes, but where, sir? I can only see but a few people. [COMMANDER] We are the Guardians. The rest have been reduced tomicro-cell size. --------------------------------------- (Storage chamber) [(A Monoid works in the room.) COMMANDER [OC]] Theyare stored in trays and will re-emerge normally when we land. Eachcabinet contains a million people. Oh, yes. There are many thingsaboard our ship which would interest a traveller. --------------------------------------- (Control deck) [COMMANDER] Mellium, why don't you show the youngpeople the statue? [MELLIUM] Would you like to see it? [DODO] It depends, what is [STEVEN] Yes, of course we would. Come on, Dodo. [MELLIUM] This way. [COMMANDER] While I am sure that you would be more interested in thetechnicalities of our control deck. [DOCTOR] Oh yes, indeed! [COMMANDER] Then I'll leave you with our chief controller, Manyak. Hewill explain everything. [DOCTOR] Thank you. [DOCTOR] Now tell me, that noise we heard just now. Was that a flightadjustment? [MANYAK] No, sir, refueling pause. [MELLIUM] Here it is, Homo Sapiens. Started on Earth, due to becompleted just before the landing on Refusis. [STEVEN] What? Seven hundred years to sculpt one statue? [MELLIUM] Yes, we're constructing it by hand using the ancient methods.It's for our children and our children's children, so that they canwatch it grow gradually as time goes by. [DODO] What is it made of? You can't scratch it, can you? [STEVEN] Dodo! You'll have to watch her. She'll have the whole thingdown. [MELLIUM] It's a substance called gragarium rock. It'll last for ever.Here's the finished design. (A human holding the spherical Ark in hisright hand.) [DODO] Hey, that's gear! [DODO] What's that? All that carry on? [ZENTOS] Commander, the strange disease, the fever is spreading amongthe Monoids. [COMMANDER] I can hardly hear you, Zentos. It's so hot. What's happenedto the temperature? [ZENTOS] Commander? The Commander, too. He has the strange fever. Thefever brought by the strangers! [MELLIUM] What is it? What's wrong? [ZENTOS] Stay away from them, Mellium, and from your father. [MELLIUM] But what is it? [COMMANDER] I don't know. I'm not sure. But Zentos is right. Stay away. [ZENTOS] Don't touch him! [DOCTOR] We may be able to help. [DODO] It's nothing to worry about. His temperature's a bit high, that'sall. It's just a fever. It can only be a cold. [DOCTOR] Do you realise what this means, dear boy? [STEVEN] What's all the fuss about? The man's caught Dodo's cold, that'sall. [DOCTOR] All? All? These people, this generation, have never experiencedthe common cold for the simple reason it was wiped out many generationsago before they were born. They have no resistance to it. [STEVEN] What'll happen? [DOCTOR] I don't quite know, I don't know. But it might be fatal and weshall be to blame. Yes, it's all our fault and I should have foreseenit. [ZENTOS] Did you hear that? Did I not try and warn the Commander? I toldyou these people were evil. [DODO] But it wasn't my fault. How was I supposed to know? [MANYAK] The sick Monoid. He's dead. [ZENTOS] Seize them! All of you listen! The success of all we stand for,everything aboard this spaceship is suddenly endangered by the strangefever. A fever brought by these strangers in our midst! [DOCTOR] But I [ZENTOS] I invoke the special Galactic law against them. Hold them, takethem into custody, and later they will be made to suffer for the crimethat they have committed! [STEVEN] Look, listen to us! [ZENTOS] Take them away! [MELLIUM] What about my father? [ZENTOS] He may well die. But then again, so might all of us. In whichcase, it was pointless leaving. --------------------------------------- (Detention Room) [STEVEN] What do you think they'll do to us, Doctor? [DOCTOR] Well, I'm not sure, dear boy. We shall just have to wait andsee. [DODO] It's all my fault. If I'd known it was going to be like this, I'dnever have come. [DOCTOR] Well you did come, my dear, so it's too late to be worry aboutthat. And stop snivelling! [DODO] I'm not snivelling. It's me nose running again! Anyway, I'mfeeling better now but I don't suppose anyone cares. [DOCTOR] But of course they care, my dear. Now don't worry. It's notyour fault at all. If it's anybody's, it's mine. [STEVEN] Look, do you think this has happened before? That we've carriedan infection from one age to another, or even one planet to another? [DOCTOR] Oh, I don't want to think it about it, dear boy. It's toohorrifying. Though I must say that we're usually very healthy. [STEVEN] It'll spread through the whole ship, become an epidemic. [DOCTOR] Well, that depends on the strength of the virus infection. [DODO] If it's half as bad as my cold was, it will. [DOCTOR] Oh, do blow your nose, child. It's running all over the place. [DODO] No, it isn't. I'm crying this time. [DOCTOR] Well, look, my dear, do try and rest. You know you may befeeling better but you're far from cured. Oh, if only those wretchedGuardians would let us out of here. I might be able to help. --------------------------------------- (Control deck) [ZENTOS] Look. That's another victim. It's not showing any signs ofabating. And look. --------------------------------------- (Jungle) (Control deck) [ZENTOS] That's another victim. Another death. Andmore human Guardians have also been taken ill. Thank heaven none ofthem has died yet. [MANYAK] What will happen if one does? [ZENTOS] It'll be disaster. Each man has his allotted task. No one hadreckoned on this eventuality. [MANYAK] There must be something we can do about it. [ZENTOS] Our micro-virologists are trying to find the answer. One ofthem is with the Commander now. --------------------------------------- (Commander's room) [MELLIUM] Is there nothing you can do? [RHOS] Unfortunately, the data covering this type of fever was lost longago, in the primal wars of the tenth segment. [COMMANDER] Mellium. [MELLIUM] Yes, father? [COMMANDER] I seem to be drifting back and forth from unconsciousness tomoments of sudden clarity. [MELLIUM] Perhaps it's better that you shouldn't talk. [COMMANDER] No, must, I must. Promise me, Mellium, should anythinghappen to me [MELLIUM] Oh, you mustn't talk this way. [COMMANDER] Should anything happen, do all in your power, along with theothers, to make sure the voyage continues. [MELLIUM] Of course, father. [COMMANDER] What [MELLIUM] But soon you'll get well. [COMMANDER] What happens to me is not so important. Or you for thatmatter, or any one of us, but the voyage and the eventual landing ofour descendants on the planet Refusis, that is! That's the only thingthat's important. Remember that. [MELLIUM] Yes, father. --------------------------------------- (Detention Room) [DODO] What is it? [DOCTOR] I don't know. [DODO] It sounds like savages. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) (Control deck) [ZENTOS] Proceed with the preparations for ejection. Commit the body tospace burial. [MANYAK] It is over. [ZENTOS] Guardians, Monoids, before it is too late, before we arestricken by the fever ourselves, we must make the strangers answer forthe terrible crime they have committed. [WOMAN] Yes, they must be tried and punished. [ZENTOS] A hearing will commence at once. As Deputy Commander, I willpreside. Baccu has undertaken to put the charges. [CROWD] The best man for the job. [ZENTOS] Will anyone speak for the prisoners? [MANYAK] I will. [MELLIUM] And I. My father would wish it. --------------------------------------- (Commander's room) [MELLIUM [on monitor]] His only desire was thatjustice should be done and a sensible solution to this crisis be found. [COMMANDER] Yes, yes. --------------------------------------- (Detention Room) [ZENTOS [on monitor]] The law that has been brokenis the following [DODO] Look Doctor, they've switched the television on. [ZENTOS [on monitor]] In that the spaceship represents the only means bywhich Earth life may be extended and perpetuated, the Guardian for thetime being in charge of the ship, shall have absolute power to punishor restrain any life-form that endangers --------------------------------------- (Control deck) [ZENTOS] The success of its mission, by expulsionfrom the ship, miniaturisation or such lesser penalty as he shall deemfit. --------------------------------------- (Detention Room) [DODO] Some sort of trial? [ZENTOS [on monitor]] I call on Baccu to detail the charge. [DOCTOR] Yes, my dear, and we are the accused. [MELLIUM [on monitor]] Doctor, Manyak and I believe your story. We'veoffered to speak in your defence but at least one of you must giveevidence. [DOCTOR] Of course. [STEVEN] I must go. [DOCTOR] What? [STEVEN] (looking unwell) Doctor, I must. I'm getting stifled in here. Imust go and do something, even if it's only to show them how stupidthey are wasting time with trials and speeches. After all, the onlyimportant thing now is to let you organise finding a cure. [DOCTOR] Very well then, if only they'll listen. [MELLIUM [on monitor]] They'll probably ask you to speak next, Doctor. [DOCTOR] My dear, I only want to help. --------------------------------------- (Control deck) [BACCU] My contention is that it was no accident that this disaster hashappened. I say that you came here intentionally to spread the disease. [STEVEN] But that's utter nonsense. I mean how can you possibly [BACCU] And that you are agents of the planet towards which thisspaceship is proceeding. That you came here to destroy us. [STEVEN] Why? We're human beings like you are. Why should we? [ZENTOS] There is the crux of the matter. Do you expect us to believethat nonsense, that you manage in that ridiculous machine called theTardis, have managed to travel through time? Guardians, Monoids, thesebeings, whatever they are, place a heavy strain on our credulity. [STEVEN] Well that's not very difficult! If your medical records areanything to go by, this segment of time, far from being one of the mostadvanced in knowledge, is one of the worst! [ZENTOS] We can cope with all things known to the fifty seventh segmentof Earth life, but not with strange diseases brought by you as agentsof the intelligences that inhabit Refusis! [STEVEN] Are you still on about that? I've told you before. We knownothing of that planet. [ZENTOS] My instinct, every fibre of my being, tells me differently. [STEVEN] And that, unfortunately, tells me only one thing. [ZENTOS] What's that? [STEVEN] That the nature of man, even in this day and age, hasn'taltered at all. You still fear the unknown, like everyone else beforeyou. --------------------------------------- (Commander's room) [COMMANDER] That's true! True! [ZENTOS [on monitor]] That won't stop me from coping with it. --------------------------------------- (Control deck) [STEVEN] How? By destroying us? By ejecting us intospace? [ZENTOS] If that is the voted finding of this hearing, yes! [MANYAK] Steven, prove to us your good faith. Would your friend, theDoctor, have any knowledge how to deal with this fever? [STEVEN] Yes, he probably would if you'd let him out of that cell sothat he had a chance to experiment. [ZENTOS] Yes, of course he would. He would love that and by such meansspread the fever even further and faster. Perhaps even kill one of theGuardians. Are we to be fooled by such tricks? [ALL] No! [ZENTOS] Are we to be taken in by such nonsense? [ALL] No! [ZENTOS] Do these creatures have the outward appearance of human beings? [MAN] They are enemies. They should be punished! [WOMAN] That's right! Let them be taken to the ejector chamber! Theymust be thrown out. --------------------------------------- (Detention Room) [DODO] Doctor, look at Steven. Is he all right? [DOCTOR] I hope so, my dear, I hope so. [DODO] Do you think he may have caught the fever? [DOCTOR] Well, I'm afraid he may have. It appears that this virus ismore virulent than I suspected. --------------------------------------- (Control deck) [MANYAK] Guardians, listen to me! Guardians, listento me! This is a court of law! [ZENTOS] Let him speak! This is a fair hearing. [MANYAK] My appeal for reason in this matter is simple and direct. TheDoctor and his companions have not denied that they brought the feveramong us. They say it was an accident, and I believe them. [WOMAN] But that's nonsense! [MANYAK] For the simple reason that if they were in fact agents of theRefusians, they could have a achieved their objective in a much simplerway. One in which they would not have exposed themselves to thisdanger. [MAN] But they're Refusians! [WOMAN] That's no argument! [MANYAK] Then I have another. The fever is here. We have no answer forit and it might well be that they are the only ones who can cure it. [ZENTOS] Our micro-virologists may still find an answer. [MANYAK] Perhaps, but if we were to agree that the Doctor and hisfriends could, what is the value in expelling them from the spaceship? --------------------------------------- (Commander's room) [COMMANDER] None at all. If Manyak and my daughtercan see that, why can't they? --------------------------------------- (Control deck) [BACCU] Guardians, listen to me! I've just had newsof another disaster. One of our kind, one of the Guardians has diedfrom the fever. [ZENTOS] Do you want to hear more? Never mind the arguments of thedefender because now they are nothing, now that one of our own kind haddied. So, Guardians, what is your answer to the charge? Do you find theprisoner guilty or not guilty? [ALL] Guilty! [ZENTOS] Is it your vote that we exact the full penalty of the specialGalactic law? [ALL] Yes! [ZENTOS] So be it! They shall be taken from this place and expelled fromthe ship and the privilege of execution, in that they were the first tobe struck by the fever, will be granted to the Monoids. [MELLIUM] But the verdict is wrong! [MANYAK] Yes, but it is the voted verdict. There is nothing we can doabout it. --------------------------------------- (Detention Room) [DODO] Doctor, something is wrong with Steven! [DOCTOR] Stop! I demand fair play. This young man is as ill as any oneof your own people. How do you expect him to plead in his own defence? [ZENTOS [on monitor]] The verdict of the court was passed that you areguilty. --------------------------------------- (Control deck) [ZENTOS] You and your party have been condemned byan overwhelming majority and your sentence is ejection into space. [DOCTOR [on monitor]] Are you aware that you might be committing yourentire community to a slow extinction? Trust me. Allow me, help me tofind a new cure for this fever of yours. [ZENTOS] The verdict has been given. [ZENTOS] Well? [MANYAK] You are right, of course. [BACCU] Of course, there's no question. [MANYAK] But can we not afford to take a chance? After all, the old manwas the first to diagnose the illness. For that reason alone, he may beable to find a cure. [ZENTOS] No. Sentence will be carried out. Baccu, assemble the Monoids.They may proceed. [BACCU] Very well. [COMMANDER [OC]] Wait! This has gone far enough. --------------------------------------- (Commander's room) [COMMANDER] Zentos, this is your Commanderspeaking. I order you to release the travellers immediately. They willbe given every facility for research. They may be our only hope. See toit. --------------------------------------- (Control deck) [ZENTOS] But the hearing decided differently,Commander. These people are dangerous. --------------------------------------- (Commander's room) [COMMANDER] Don't argue with me, Zentos. Those aremy instructions. But in case you are right, I wish the Doctor to usehis young friend as a guinea pig. If he succeeds in curing him, then Iwill set aside the verdict of the court. Now, proceed. [MELLIUM] Thank you father. --------------------------------------- (Control deck) [ZENTOS] Very well. If he has not decided wisely,we will not live to know it. --------------------------------------- (Detention Room) [DOCTOR] At last we're near a solution. We mustwaste no more time. Now you two, get the boy up to the table. [MELLIUM] Is there anything we can do to help, Doctor? [DOCTOR] Yes, cover him. We must keep him warm at once. [MELLIUM] Warm? But he's already sweating with the fever in the same waythat my father is. [DOCTOR] My dear young lady, please do as you're told. Now, where isthat other young woman I want? [DODO] Here I am, Doctor. [DOCTOR] Oh good, now look here. Go to the Tardis and bring these thingsback for me, will you? [MELLIUM] Will these do? [DOCTOR] Yes, certainly, fine, fine. [DODO] How will I know where to find them? [DOCTOR] Well open your eyes, my dear child, otherwise you won't be anyuse to me, will you? [DODO] Okay. [DOCTOR] What did you say? [DODO] I said, okay. [DOCTOR] Yes, I thought you did. Now once this crisis is over, I'm goingto teach you to speak English. [BACCU] I shall go with her. [DOCTOR] Right, off you go. [RHOS] Doctor, our virologists are willing to give you all the help youneed. Can you describe the virus responsible? [DOCTOR] Yes, I [MELLIUM] I've wrapped Steven warmly. Is there anything else I can do? [DOCTOR] Yes, now I want you to find all the sick people in thisspaceship and give them the same treatment. [MELLIUM] You mean keep them warm? [DOCTOR] Exactly, my child. Yes. [MELLIUM] Very well. [DOCTOR] Oh, and my child? [MELLIUM] Doctor? [DOCTOR] That also includes your father. [DOCTOR] Now, this germ. This germ is --------------------------------------- (Control deck) [RHOS] The vaccine was used as long ago as the twentieth century andthen was lost in the time of the primal wars. [BACCU] Is that what he's trying to find now? The old vaccine? [RHOS] Yes, he says it's a natural compound derived from animalmembranes. We only need to take single specimens and then we canrelease the animals again. But it means that a large scale hunt has tobe organised out there in the jungle. [BACCU] leave that to me. I'll collect a party of Guardians and Monoids.Tell us what animals you need. [RHOS] Well, we need two --------------------------------------- (Jungle) (Detention Room) [DOCTOR] Yes, I know I'm a bit of a quack, but thecombination of these two membrane fluids, a little at a time, should dothe trick. [DOCTOR] Ah, thank you, thank you. You know, you're far moreknowledgeable than most people realise, aren't you? [DOCTOR] Now, my dear Dodo, how is he? [DODO] He's conscious, Doctor, but only just. Are you going to try itnow? [DOCTOR] Well, I don't see why not, yes. Now where is that sterilisedpostule? [DOCTOR] Oh, thank you, thank you, yes. You know, I don't know what Iwould do without you. [DODO] Do you really think it'll work? [DOCTOR] Well, I don't see why not, my dear, providing I've mixed theseproperly. [DODO] And what if you haven't? [DOCTOR] Oh, don't let that cross our minds, for heavens sake. Now then,here we are. [DODO] Don't you have to squirt it into his arm? [DOCTOR] What, with a hypodermic needle? Good gracious, no. That wentout a long time ago. There we are. Now all we have to do is to wait andwatch. Come along. [DODO] Where are you going? [DOCTOR] I'm going to treat the others precisely the same way as I'vetreated Steven. [DODO] Isn't that a bit dodgy? I mean, he was supposed to be the guineapig, wasn't he? [DOCTOR] Well it's going to be much dodgier my child, as you say, if Ijust sat and did nothing. Come along. --------------------------------------- (Commander's room) [DOCTOR] There now. Just relax and rest. [MELLIUM] Is there anything further I can do? [DOCTOR] No, it's just a matter of time, my dear. Come along. --------------------------------------- (Control deck) [MANYAK] How long must we wait? [BACCU] They weren't sure. Apparently once the injection has been given,there's no way to hurry the response of the patient. [MANYAK] Zentos is waiting like a vulture, just in case the treatmentdoesn't work. --------------------------------------- (Detention Room) [DOCTOR] Yes, I think I've given him the right treatment. [DODO] Doctor, it's along time now since you gave him that stuff and thefever only seems to be getting worse. [DOCTOR] Well, it's about an hour, my dear. He seems to be reactingquite normally. Yes, he's fighting it. [DODO] Has something gone wrong? [DOCTOR] The fever's down and the temperature's dropped. [DODO] You mean? [DOCTOR] I mean he's going to be all right, my dear. --------------------------------------- (Control deck) [DODO] It's all right! Steven's much better.Everything's going to be all right! [MANYAK] I told you it would be. [DOCTOR] You have nothing further to worry about, sir. The sick havebeen tended to and the others immunised against further attack. [ZENTOS] Thank you, Doctor. So you were right after all. [DODO] Doctor, the Commander's fever's gone down, so he's going to beall right. [DOCTOR] Oh, splendid, splendid. [BACCU] Look! The scan of Earth! [ZENTOS] The last moment has come. [DOCTOR] Now, you can continue with the building of your statue and whenit's finished, I'm sure it's going to look very beautiful. [MELLIUM] Yes, our descendants will know its meaning when they put thefinishing touches to it. [STEVEN] In seven hundred years time. [MELLIUM] Yes, in seven hundred years time. [DOCTOR] Well, we must be off. Goodbye, sir. [COMMANDER] Goodbye. [DOCTOR] Goodbye, my dear. [MELLIUM] Goodbye, Doctor. [DODO] Goodbye. [COMMANDER] Goodbye. [ZENTOS] Doctor, for the fact that I mistrusted you, misjudged you, I'msorry. [DOCTOR] Remember your journey is very important, young man, thereforeyou must travel with understanding as well as hope. Goodbye, Zentos. [ZENTOS] Goodbye Doctor. --------------------------------------- (Jungle) [DODO [OC]] Can I go out now? [DOCTOR] You really must let me go first, child. [DOCTOR] Oh. Well, that's strange. Something must have gone wrong. Itappears we've landed back in the same place. [STEVEN] How? [DOCTOR] Take a look at this, my boy. Isn't it extraordinary? Well, now,that's inexplicable. --------------------------------------- (Control deck) [DODO] Mellium! Baccu! They can't be far away, canthey? [STEVEN] I don't know. It depends on how long ago it was. [DODO] What? [STEVEN] Look, there's nobody here, is there? [DODO] We've only been gone a few seconds. Mellium! Baccu! [DODO] Doctor, Steven, look! [DOCTOR] What is it, my dear? What have you found? [DODO] The statue. They've finished the statue. --------------------------------------- (Control deck) [DODO] What happened? The head, it wasn't meant tobe like that. [STEVEN] No. It was meant to be a human being. Now it's a Monoid. Wonderwhy? [DOCTOR] Well I'm not sure, dear boy. However, the statue's finished.That means seven hundred years must have passed since we…last stoodhere. [DODO] Is that why the place looks so grotty? [STEVEN] Must be. [DODO] But we've only been gone a few seconds. [DOCTOR] Yes, I know, my dear. It's pretty hard for you to understand. [STEVEN] Yes, well the Guardians said it would take seven hundred yearsfor this spaceship to reach the planet Refusis Two. If that navigationchart's anything to go by I'd say that they're almost there. [DOCTOR] Yes, I think you're right. [STEVEN] Then where are the Guardians? Well, at least the descendants ofthose we knew before. Surely they should be here, guiding the ship? [DOCTOR] I don't think that will be necessary, dear boy. It appearsthey've introduced some form of automatic guiding device. [STEVEN] Yes, but you'd think one of them would be standing by to makesure nothing goes wrong. [DOCTOR] Yes, well now, let's have a look at the scanner and see if thatmay help. [STEVEN] Well that's the room with the Earth's population stored inmicroform. [DODO] It's one of the Guardians. [STEVEN] That looks like a Monoid. [DODO] Yes, but the Guardian's working as a kind of servant. [DOCTOR] Yes, he's not the only one who's doing that. [STEVEN] Looks like some kind of kitchen. [DODO] Yes and they're sort of slaves, aren't they? --------------------------------------- (Kitchen) (Control deck) [DODO] What was that? [STEVEN] Looked like some kind of gun. [DODO] But the arm? [DOCTOR] Yes, it appears the Monoids have become overlords. [STEVEN] Doctor, look! [MONOID 2] Who are you? [STEVEN] Things have obviously changed. [DODO] He can speak. They couldn't before. [MONOID 2] I asked, who are you? Where did you come from? [DOCTOR] We are visitors to this spaceship. We were here many centuriesago. We come as friends. [MONOID 2] Friends to whom? [DOCTOR] To all who…travel in this spaceship. [MONOID 2] You mean of the humanoids like yourself. [DOCTOR] Well, er, yes. But when we were here some time ago we also werefriends of your forebears. They were called Monoids. Things were verydifferent then. [YENDOM] These strangers, they [MONOID 2] You speak of the distant past. Following the recentrevolution we are now the masters. [DOCTOR] I see, and the human beings? [MONOID 2] They work for us. Is that not true, Yendom? [YENDOM] Yes. [MONOID 2] We conquered and you obey. And these strangers, they willalso obey. Now you will come with us. [STEVEN] Where? [MONOID 2] To our leader --------------------------------------- (Monoid's chamber) [MONOID 2] Here are the strangers, One. [MONOID 1] Wait. Look. [MONOID 1] It seems that when you were here before the Guardians of thatday didn't believe that you could travel through time as well as space.Why have you come back? [STEVEN] The Tardis made the decision. [MONOID 1] Are you telling me that you can't control your own machine? [DODO] What's it got to do with you? [DOCTOR] Shush, child. [MONOID 1] According to the history scan you brought a strange feverthat killed many of our ancestors. [DODO] But we also helped to find a cure, didn't we? I mean, the Doctordid. [MONOID 1] He thought he did. [DOCTOR] And what do you mean by that? [MONOID 1] You controlled the immediate impact of the fever, but amutation of it developed later on that sapped the will of the humans. [DODO] You mean that it was our fault that you took over because of thefever? [MONOID 1] In part. [STEVEN] There were other reasons? [MONOID 1] The main reason was the Guardians themselves. They were asimple people. They actually encouraged the research from which wedeveloped our voice boxes and heat prods. They were totally unpreparedfor the conflict when it came. [DODO] What happened to them? [MONOID 1] Many were killed. The rest are prisoners. A fact that youwill shortly see for yourselves! Two, take them away to the securitykitchen and then call a Grand Council. [MONOID 2] This way. [MONOID 1] I trust that their return won't give you any ideas, Maharis? [MAHARIS] No. I am content to obey. --------------------------------------- (Kitchen) [DASSUK] Who told you? [VENUSSA] One of the subject Guardians whispered it as he passed by thedoor, just now. [DASSUK] Strangers? What sort of strangers? [VENUSSA] Human beings! [DASSUK] Well, I'm afraid the Monoids will make very short work of them. [VENUSSA] Well, no, they've been taken prisoner. [DASSUK] Well, that proves it's only a rumour. Just like all the otherrumours we've been hearing. Look Venussa, you know how far the Ark hastravelled and the Earth itself no longer exists, so where could theseso-called humans come from? [VENUSSA] From Earth, but as it was millions of years ago. Well, theytravel through time. [DASSUK] That's impossible. I think you've been a prisoner a little toolong. [VENUSSA] Oh, but it could be true, Dassuk. Oh, don't you remember thestory? Hundreds of years ago a doctor and a young couple came and thenwent away again. Well they were the first people to call this ship theArk! [DASSUK] That's just a legend. And legends won't help us regain controlof the Ark. [MONOID 2] All right, Doctor, this way, and bring your friends with you. [VENUSSA] Doctor? [MONOID 2] You will stay in this place and help with the task ofpreparing our food. You will sleep here like the others of your kind.Above all else, you must always be obedient prisoners. [VENUSSA] Doctor? Did he say Doctor? Have you been here before? [STEVEN] Yes, we have. [DASSUK] But, but that's incredible! How in space could you do it? [DOCTOR] If I were to tell you, young man, you wouldn't believe me. [STEVEN] No, besides we've got far more important things to talk about.We've got to find a way to get out of this place. --------------------------------------- (Control deck) [MONOID 1] In a short while, Refusis will be ours.We will land there. We will create a Monoid world. [MONOID 3] But One, what about the Guardians? [MONOID 1] I have a simple plan that will destroy them. When we startour life on that planet it will be with no reference of any kind to thetime when we were secondary beings! [MONOID 2] That's as it should be. [MONOID 1] But at this moment we cannot be sure of what Refusis isreally like, or what kind of creatures the Refusians are. [MONOID 2] That's true. [MONOID 1] So I am sending a forward landing party ahead of us. [MONOID 3] But in that case the Refusians will be forewarned. [MONOID 1] I have thought of that. Listen. --------------------------------------- (Kitchen) [DODO] I named this ship The Ark. They'd never heard the name 'til Iused it. [DASSUK] And you brought a strange new fever and then the Doctor curedit. [VENUSSA] Of course. Take no notice of him, Doctor, he was born a cynic. [DOCTOR] He'll probably die one unless we do something quickly aboutthis situation. [STEVEN] Listen, are there many other Guardians like yourselves heldprisoner? [DASSUK] Oh, not many. The Monoids only keep us alive because they enjoybeing waited on. [DODO] Why don't you just jump on them? They're pretty slow movingcreatures, Monoids. [DASSUK] You forget they're armed and we're not. And those heat prodscan be pretty lethal. [STEVEN] Right, but we could take the chance and seize one. Challengethem at their own game. [DASSUK] No, they're too careful. They never put them down. [DOCTOR] Yes, we shall have to be pretty urgent too. Time is runningout. --------------------------------------- (Control deck) [MONOID 1] While the others are preparing thelauncher, go and get the Doctor and the girl. [MONOID 2] Yes, One. --------------------------------------- (Kitchen) [DODO] Do you think you can do it? [DASSUK] We must try. Otherwise [DODO] What? [DASSUK] There'll be no future for us, and our forefathers might just aswell've stayed on the Earth and died with it. [VENUSSA] They're coming back. [MONOID 2] What is this? Why aren't you working? [STEVEN] Now! [MONOID 3] Back! [MONOID 2] Get back. You are reckless and stupid. Now you have gainedonly one thing, the death of another of your kind. Doctor! You and thegirl will come with me. [MONOID 2] You stay here. [STEVEN] Why? Where are you taking them? [MONOID 2] They will make the first landing on the planet Refusis. Youwill be held as a security for their conduct. --------------------------------------- (Control deck) [MONOID 3] The launcher is ready, One. The Doctor,the girl, the Guardian and Two are aboard. [MONOID 1] Good. Then let's hope that they succeed in their mission. --------------------------------------- (Launcher) [MONOID 2] Out. --------------------------------------- (Refusis Jungle) [DODO] So this is Refusis? Where's the red carpet, then? [MONOID 2] Perhaps the Refusians are hidden somewhere. If so, we mustfind them. Move carefully and don't forget that I am still armed. --------------------------------------- (Launcher) [VOICE] Hmm. --------------------------------------- (Refusis Jungle) [MONOID 2] Still no sign of life. Perhaps the audiospace research that told us of the Refusians was wrong. [DOCTOR] Let us return to the launcher and send a message back to theArk. Tell them they can make their landings quite safely. I'm surethey'll be extremely delighted to hear it. [DODO] Yes, I bet it'll take some time to get the whole of thepopulation down here, so the sooner you get started, the better, Ishould think. [MONOID 2] Don't worry. It may not take as long as you think. [DODO] What do you mean? Are you up to something? [MONOID 2] Er, no. [DODO] No? But you gave yourself away, didn't you? I've got a feelingwhen the time comes you're not going to bring the Guardians down hereat all, is that it? [YENDOM] But they promised! [DODO] I don't care. I'm right, aren't I? [DOCTOR] We were all wrong. This place is inhabited. Come, see foryourselves. [DODO] It's a sort of a castle! MONOID 2 [DOCTOR] Shall we find out? [MONOID 2] Proceed. --------------------------------------- (Refusis Castle) [MONOID 2] It's deserted. [DOCTOR] Strange. Strange indeed. [MONOID 2] There is no one in there. [DOCTOR] How can you be so sure? [MONOID 2] They must be hiding somewhere. They are just frightenedcreatures. [DODO] I don't like it. This place is dead weird. [YENDOM] What do you mean? [DODO] Oh, it's just a feeling I've got. [MONOID 2] I would like to see the faces of these Refusians. [DODO] Not sure I would. If they're anything like you, I've seen enough. [MONOID 2] What the? [DODO] Oh, nothing. [MONOID 2] I will challenge them like this! [DODO] Oh, no! [MONOID 2] They must be in this place somewhere. When they hear what I'mdoing. [DOCTOR] Put that thing down! That is no way to establish friendship! [MONOID 2] The sooner they learn to respect us, the better. [REFUSIAN [OC]] Your friend is right! Put it down. [MONOID 2] Where did that come from? [YENDOM] I think from out there. [DODO] No, it came from the direction of that room. [MONOID 2] Where are you? Show yourself or I will smash [REFUSIAN [OC]] I warned you! Put that down. [DOCTOR] I think it comes from within this room. [MONOID 2] Nonsense. If the Refusian seeks to challenge me, I willaccept it. [REFUSIAN [OC]] You have been warned! [REFUSIAN [OC]] Thank you. [REFUSIAN [OC]] As your friend said, I'm here in the room with you. [DOCTOR] (the weapon) You won't need that now. --------------------------------------- (Control deck) [MONOID 1] They must've landed by now. We should be getting a reportfrom Two. [MONOID 3] Yes, One. [MONOID 3] What was the plan you had for destroying the Guardians andthis spaceship? [MONOID 1] A short while after we leave, they will disappear in a cloudof fragmented pieces. [MONOID 3] You mean a bomb of some kind? [MONOID 1] A fission device. I had it made secretly and it is ready tobe detonated at any time. [MONOID 3] But where is it? [MONOID 3] Excellent, One. [MONOID 1] The last place they would think of looking. --------------------------------------- (Monoid's chamber) [MONOID 1 [on monitor]] That is, if they even suspect its presencebefore it goes off. [MONOID 3 [on monitor]] Why should they? Then that will be the end ofall human existence. --------------------------------------- (Kitchen) [MAHARIS] I bring you news. [STEVEN] Why does everyone back away from him? [VENUSSA] Because he's one of the subject Guardians. What you'd call acollaborator. [DASSUK] And what does your news amount to? How much can we trust you? [MAHARIS] But you must. It's important! [VENUSSA] Go back to your masters. [MAHARIS] What I have to say concerns us all. [STEVEN] Perhaps we should listen. [VENUSSA] No! He speaks with the voice of the Monoids. [MAHARIS] No longer! They intend to betray us all. Even those of uswho've worked for them. [STEVEN] How? [MAHARIS] They plan to leave us behind when they land on Refusis. [VENUSSA] Would you've expected anything else? [MAHARIS] But there's more. When they go, they'll leave a device behindthat will destroy the Ark and everything in it. [STEVEN] Are you sure of this? [MAHARIS] Yes! I overheard One telling another Monoid. [STEVEN] Do you know where the device is? [MAHARIS] No. I only heard them talking, I couldn't see where Onepointed. [DASSUK] Then somehow we shall have to find out. --------------------------------------- (Refusis Castle) [DOCTOR] And that was their aim, to land there and recreate life on thisplanet. [REFUSIAN [OC[] Yes. We've known for some time of the journey of thevessel you call the Ark and we welcomed it. That is why we built placeslike this. [DOCTOR] I see. Just to make us comfortable? I didn't think you neededplaces like this for yourselves. [REFUSIAN [OC]] No. Once we had a shape and form something like you.Then there was a galaxy accident. A giant solar flare. Now, we nolonger have a being that you can see or recognise. [DOCTOR] But can you see each other? [REFUSIAN [OC]] Not even that. Oh, we can sense one other but that isall. That is why it would have been good for Refusis to be inhabitedagain by life and the signs of life, provided that the beings that cometo take our place are peaceful. Child, you are worried. [DODO] I think I can hear them coming back. --------------------------------------- (Refusis Jungle) [MONOID 2] We must return to the launcher. We mustwarn One and the others so that we can prepare to deal with theseunseen creatures. [YENDOM] We, meaning only the Monoids. When you spoke of it before youmeant that only you and only your kind would make the landings, didn'tyou. [MONOID 2] Yendom, I do not have to account to you. [YENDOM] I'll not let you contact them. [MONOID 2] Yendom, stay where you are! [DODO] What about the Monoid? Do you think he's gone back to thelauncher? [REFUSIAN [OC]] We'll soon see. --------------------------------------- (Launcher) [MONOID 2] Refusis to the spaceship Ark. --------------------------------------- (Control deck) [MONOID 1] Yes, Two. Give us your report. Are thelandings possible? --------------------------------------- (Refusis Jungle) [MONOID 2] The planet offers everything we need,but I must warn you. Listen to this carefully. [MONOID 2] When we first arrived, we exited --------------------------------------- (Control deck) [MONOID 1] Two, are you there? Two, answer me. --------------------------------------- (Refusis Jungle) [DODO] What do we do now? [DOCTOR] Nothing, my dear. We shall just have to wait until the nextparty lands. [DODO] What if they don't come? What if they decide to find anotherplanet? [DOCTOR] Well, in that case we shall just have to stay here. --------------------------------------- (Control deck) [MONOID 3] What has happened? Why does Two nolonger give us his report? [MONOID 1] I don't know. It could mean a simple break in communications,or that he was attacked! [MONOID 3] But his report of conditions on the planet Refusis startedfavourably. [MONOID 1] Yes. [MONOID 3] Then what do we do, One? [MONOID 1] We will proceed with our plans. We will prepare ourselves forthe main landings. [MONOID 3] One has spoken. Get the launchers ready and prepare theMonoid population trays for the journey. [MONOID 4] (to 6) The leader has said that we must go, but supposing heis wrong? We still don't know what Refusis is like. [MONOID 1] At last, a new planet of our own where we can establish ourown way of life. [MONOID 3] Yes, One. But a word of warning. [MONOID 1] What's that? [MONOID 3] Four is beginning to question the wisdom of your leadership. [MONOID 1] Don't worry. At the slightest sign of opposition, we caneasily get rid of him. As easily as we will this spaceship, once wehave left it. Remember, the final answer which is locked in the head ofthat statue. --------------------------------------- (Refusis Castle) [REFUSIAN [OC]] Doctor, we are, as you know,concerned about the arrival of the Ark and what it will mean to thisplanet. [DOCTOR] Yes, yes, I can quite understand that. That is why youdestroyed the Launcher? [REFUSIAN [OC]] Here, we've always known peace. Never war or conflict. [DODO] You're not the only ones like that. The Guardians, you know thehumans who travel in the spaceship, they have used to have your ideastoo. [DOCTOR] Yes, that's true my dear but, you mustn't think they wereperfect. Oh, no. Sometimes they were extremely intolerant and selfish. [REFUSIAN [OC]] Is that why they were conquered by the Monoids? [DOCTOR] Exactly. [DODO] Yes, I know. But there are some of them left who wouldn't mindrising up against the Monoids and trying to do better. [REFUSIAN [OC]] Then we will allow them time to make their attempt. Wewill wait for the passing of one day before we think in terms ofemploying defensive measures. [DOCTOR] Yes. One day. Thank you. [DODO] Now, it's up to Steven and the others. [DOCTOR] Quite so, my dear. Quite so. --------------------------------------- (Kitchen) [STEVEN] The Monoids are up to something. They'rerushing about all over the place. [VENUSSA] Do you think they're preparing to leave the Ark? [DASSUK] Probably. [STEVEN] Look, isn't there a way to get out of this kitchen? [VENUSSA] None. The walls are thick and the doors only open from theoutside. [STEVEN] Well, who opens it? [DASSUK] Well, they do. Sometimes one of the subject Guardians. Maharis,for instance. [STEVEN] Then we must get him to help us. [VENUSSA] He won't. He's too frightened. [STEVEN] All right. Then we'll have to use his help without his knowingit. --------------------------------------- (Control deck) [MONOID 3] Be careful. Remember, each tray contains a thousand Monoids,thoughtfully preserved as micro-cells by your ancestors. They mustreach their new life on Refusis safely. [MONOID 3] Everything is proceeding according to plan, One. We must have [MONOID 1] Thank you, Maharis. That is all. [MAHARIS] Yes. One. [MONOID 1] Stupid, trusting creature. He and all the other subjectGuardians are still under the illusion that they will be coming with usto Refusis. [MONOID 3] They are a blind people. They deserve their fate. [MONOID 1] Yes. What were you going to say? [MONOID 3] I was reporting that the preparation of the launchers isproceeding satisfactorily. [MONOID 1] Good. Then we shall leave shortly. --------------------------------------- (Kitchen) [VENUSSA] Maharis, what's the news from outside? [MAHARIS] The Monoids are preparing to leave. [STEVEN] And you still think they'll take you? [MAHARIS] Why not? We can serve them on Refusis as well as here. Just amoment. Where's Dassuk? [VENUSSA] Asleep. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [DASSUK] Hurry. I don't think he saw me, though we haven't much time. [VENUSSA] What first? [STEVEN] Well, we agreed. First we've got to find that bomb that theMonoids left behind. --------------------------------------- (Control deck) [MONOID 4] The moment we land, then we decidewhether One is to stay our leader. If Refusis is dangerous, we mustreturn to the Ark before it is destroyed. [MONOID 3] There is still no contact from Two on Refusis, One. [MONOID 1] Never mind that. We will now go there ourselves. Give thesignal. [STEVEN] What's that? [VENUSSA] The main landing order. [STEVEN] So they're not going to wait any longer. --------------------------------------- (Launcher) [MONOID 3] What about the bomb? [MONOID 1] It is set. It is timed to explode in twelve hours from now. --------------------------------------- (Control deck) [MAHARIS] Steven was right. The Monoids have all gone. Every one ofthem! [DASSUK] What now? [STEVEN] Just find that bomb. [STEVEN] (to Venussa) We've got to find a way of getting back toRefusis. --------------------------------------- (Refusis Jungle) [MONOID 1] Good. Everything seems to be quiet. And from this moment on,this planet is ours! [MONOID 3] Look. [MONOID 3] There is the reason why Two failed to complete his message tous. [MONOID 1] A reason and a warning. We must find who destroyed thatlauncher, and then destroy them! [MONOID 4] One made a mistake in bringing us here. We will have to waitfor our chance, then challenge him and return to the Ark. There isstill time before it is destroyed by that bomb that has been leftbehind. Come. We must not let One and the others get out of our sight. [DOCTOR] Now. --------------------------------------- (Control deck) [STEVEN] It could be anywhere. The corridors, inthe jungle over there, in the cultivated lands. [VENUSSA] We'll find it. We must! [STEVEN] What's that? [VENUSSA] It's one of the launchers trying to make contact. We're incontact. Who is that? [DOCTOR [OC]] This is Refusis contacting spaceship Ark. [STEVEN] It's the Doctor. Hello Doctor, this is Steven. --------------------------------------- (Launcher) [DOCTOR] Oh, thank heaven, Steven, my boy, you'resafe. Now listen. The Ark is about to blow up! --------------------------------------- (Control deck) [STEVEN] We know that. Do you know where the bombis? [DOCTOR [on viewscreen]] No, I do not, but I'm going to find out fromthe Monoids. In the meantime, I'll send back some of the launchers tothe Ark. Now, continue with the search! [STEVEN] All right, you heard what he said. Let's get started. --------------------------------------- (Launcher) [DODO] But Doctor, how are you going to talk to theMonoids and how are you going to send the launchers back to the Ark? [REFUSIAN [OC]] Yes Doctor, how? [DOCTOR] Oh, I'm glad you heard that. You know, these launchers aresimple to operate and I would like to suggest, my friend, that you flythem back to the Ark. [REFUSIAN [OC]] Me? [DOCTOR] Yes, the Monoids won't know who's taking them. And as for metalking to them, or speaking to them, as you say, well, the problem'squite simple. [REFUSIAN [OC]] Very well. We will do as you suggest. [DOCTOR] Thank you. --------------------------------------- (Refusis Jungle) [DOCTOR] Ah, so we meet again. Welcome to Refusis. [MONOID 3] Don't kill them. One will want to question them. You willcome with us. [DOCTOR] Delighted, delighted. [MONOID 3] Who is it that travels in that launcher? We have seen no onesince we have been here. [DOCTOR] Well, to tell the truth, neither have we. --------------------------------------- (Control deck) [STEVEN] Have you checked this? [MAHARIS] What's the use? There's nothing there. [STEVEN] Look, there's no point standing around moping just because theMonoids promise you something and then failed you. You've got to dosomething to save yourself. [MAHARIS] I believed in them! [DASSUK] Steven, come quickly. [STEVEN] Why? What's happened? [DASSUK] One of the launchers has returned from Refusis. [VENUSSA] Look! --------------------------------------- (Launcher) [STEVEN] At what? It's empty. [VENUSSA] I know. And it was empty when we opened the door. --------------------------------------- (Refusis Castle) [MONOID 1] Doctor, where are the Refusians? [DOCTOR] I don't know. I haven't seen one. [MONOID 1] You step out of the launcher, a moment later it was flownaway. It must have been manned by someone. I must find the answer. [MONOID 3] Do you think they will talk, One? [MONOID 1] If they don't, they will die. [MONOID 4] Perhaps. But it would seem that we will die as well. [MONOID 1] Do you seek to challenge me, Four? [MONOID 4] You have led us to this planet and placed us all in danger. [MONOID 1] If that is the way you feel, then return to the Ark. [MONOID 4] We will. Only there we have to face the danger that youcreated. The fission device. [MONOID 1] Leaving you with but one problem, that of getting rid of it.But since it is inside the statue, and the statue itself is so heavy, Ithink that you will find the problem of disposal is not so easy. [MONOID 4] Those of you that wish to stay in this world of the unknown,will side with One. But those who care for the future of the Monoidsmust come with me. [MONOID 3] Will you let them go? [MONOID 1] No. [MONOID 1] We'll destroy them in the open, and we will deal with you andthe Refusians later. [DOCTOR] Thank you. It's very kind of you. --------------------------------------- (Control deck) [STEVEN] Well, I think we should split up. Some ofus should go back to Refusis to help the Doctor and Dodo, whilst therest stay here and try to deal with that bomb. [DASSUK] Yes, that's a good idea. [MAHARIS] Is it? Why should any of us stay and risk being blown up? [STEVEN] Because the Earth's population trays, everything else thatrepresents Earth life, all these things have to be taken to Refusislater. [VENUSSA] Steven's right. That's why our forefathers started this voyagethrough space in the first place, seven hundred years ago. [MAHARIS] But we're alive. Why should any of us die for an idea thatthey thought of? [VENUSSA] You've served too long with the Monoids, Maharis. You nolonger belong to us. Let him go with the landing party. [STEVEN] Yes, all right. Dassuk, you take the launcher. Go with him,Maharis. And you two. Contact the Doctor as soon as you can. I'll stayhere. [DASSUK] All right. What about you, Venussa? [VENUSSA] I'll stay too. [DASSUK] Right. [STEVEN] You could have gone with them. [VENUSSA] They don't need me. You don't know the Ark. You will need meto help you find the bomb. [STEVEN] Let's try behind that central scan. --------------------------------------- (Refusis Jungle) [MONOID 1] Stay where you are. [MONOID 4] What is the meaning of this? We are going back to the Ark. [MONOID 1] That is now against my orders. [MONOID 4] Your orders? You have given too many and delivered themunwisely. Now they mean nothing to us. [MONOID 1] You have had my last warning. Do as I say. --------------------------------------- (Launcher) [DASSUK] Maharis, where are you going? [MAHARIS] Out. [DASSUK] Better make sure everything's all right first. --------------------------------------- (Refusis Jungle) [MAHARIS] Master! [MONOID 4] Over there. --------------------------------------- (Launcher) [DASSUK] Come on, while the Monoids are fighting. --------------------------------------- (Refusis Jungle) (Refusis Castle) [DASSUK] Master, One needs your help down there. [DASSUK] Are you safe? [DODO] Course we are! [DOCTOR] What is more important, is the Ark still all right? [DASSUK] So far, but they haven't found the bomb yet. [DOCTOR] We have found the bomb. We must warn them immediately. Comealong. [DODO] But what about the Monoids? [DASSUK] The way they were fighting, there won't be many of them left. [DOCTOR] Splendid! Come along. --------------------------------------- (Refusis Jungle) [DOCTOR] To the Launcher! --------------------------------------- (Launcher) [DOCTOR] Now, you fly us back to the Ark.Meanwhile, I'll contact Steven. --------------------------------------- (Control deck) [STEVEN] It's up there, in the head of that thing. [VENUSSA] The statue? But how are we going to move it? It's so heavy. [STEVEN] Well, you must have some lifting gear. We only need to get itinto one of the launching bays. [VENUSSA] We've nothing that can handle anything like that. [REFUSIAN [OC]] I think I can help you. Clear this main deck. [VENUSSA] It's moving! [STEVEN] Yes, well, let's hope the movement doesn't set it off. [STEVEN] He's moving it as if it meant nothing at all. [VENUSSA] Now it's in the launching bay. We can do the rest. [REFUSIAN [OC]] It is ready for firing. [DODO] Do you think you'll be able to get everything down onto Refusisnow? [DASSUK] We'll manage, especially if the Refusians help us. [REFUSIAN [OC]] We'll do everything we can to assist you in settling onour planet. [DASSUK] Thank you. [REFUSIAN [OC]] But one thing you must do. [VENUSSA] What's that? [REFUSIAN [OC]] Make peace with the Monoids. [DOCTOR] He's right. A long time ago, your ancestors acceptedresponsibility for the welfare of these Monoids. They were treated likeslaves. So no wonder when they got the chance, they repaid you in kind. [REFUSIAN [OC]] Unless you learn to live together, there is no futurefor you on Refusis. [DASSUK] We understand. [DOCTOR] Yes, you must travel with understanding as well as hope. Youknow, I once said that to one of your ancestors, a long time ago.However, we must be going. Goodbye. [VENUSSA] Do you think we'll ever see them again? [DASSUK] Perhaps, but if we don't our children will, or our children'schildren. [VENUSSA] If we were to tell them the story, do you think they'd believeus, or would they just dismiss it as a legend? [DASSUK] We'll make them believe it. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [STEVEN] We're landing now, Doctor. [DOCTOR] Good. That means the gravitational bearing must have rectifieditself. [DODO] Hey, look at this! [DODO] Ain't it fab? [STEVEN] Yes. Very nice. [STEVEN] Bless you. [DODO] Oh Doctor, don't say you're catching a cold now. [STEVEN] Doctor? Well, where are you? [DOCTOR [OC]] What do you mean, dear boy? I'm still here. [STEVEN] Huh? [DODO] Doctor, you've vanished! [DOCTOR [OC]] What? Oh, nonsense, child. Nonsense! [DODO] You have. Do you think this is something to do with theRefusians? [STEVEN] Why, it must be. [DOCTOR [OC]] You're wrong! This is something far more serious. We're ingrave danger. This is some form of attack!

Doctor Who (2 Apr, 1966; First Doctor) - The Celestial Toymaker (Tardis) [STEVEN] We're landing now Doctor. [DOCTOR] Good. That means the gravitational bearing must have rectifieditself. [DODO] Hey, look at this! [DODO] Ain't it fab? [STEVEN] Yes, very nice. [STEVEN] Bless you. [DODO] Oh Doctor, don't say you're catching a cold now. [STEVEN] Doctor? Well, where are you? [DOCTOR] What do you mean, dear boy? I'm still here. [STEVEN] What? [DODO] Doctor, you've vanished! [DOCTOR] What? Oh, nonsense, child. Nonsense. [DODO] You have. Do you think this is something to do with theRefusians? [STEVEN] Well, it must be. [DOCTOR] You're wrong. This is something far more serious. We're ingrave danger. This is some form of attack! [STEVEN] But we're still in the Tardis! [DOCTOR] That may be, my boy, but wherever it is, it has great power andcan penetrate our safety barrier. [DOCTOR [OC]] Don't just stand there, dear boy, turn on the scanner. [DODO] But Doctor. [DOCTOR [OC]] Don't ask questions, child. There isn't time. Turn on thescanner. [STEVEN] It isn't working. [DOCTOR [OC]] Yes, it is. When it isn't working, the screen is not asclear as that. This is part of the same trick. [DODO] But what are we to do? Let's take off at once. [DOCTOR [OC]] That might be worse, my dear. Besides, I'm not onlyinvisible, I'm intangible, which means that I can't pull the switches. [STEVEN] Well, I'll do it if you tell me what to do. [DOCTOR [OC]] No! Whatever it is, we shall have to face up to it. Openthe doors. [STEVEN] But, Doctor! [DOCTOR [OC]] Open the doors! [DODO] We should go. [STEVEN] We can't. [DODO] Hey, if the Doctor's intangible, why did he need to open thedoors? He could have just walked through them. [STEVEN] Habit, I suppose. Come on, we should follow. [DODO] You won't get me out there. --------------------------------------- (Toymaker's office) [TOYMAKER] You'll serve my purpose admirably. You're very good at games.Clowns always are. You can show Steven and Dodo some of your tricksinto the bargain. --------------------------------------- (Toyroom) [DODO] If you want to go, then you go, but I'm surethat the Doctor would. Doctor! [DOCTOR] Hmm? What is it? [DODO] There you are! [STEVEN] We can see you! Everything's all right. [DOCTOR] Oh, you can see me? [STEVEN + DODO] Yes! [DOCTOR] Well, splendid. Splendid. [DODO] Oh, let's go now. It must have just been the Refusian influenceafter all. [STEVEN] What's this extraordinary place? [DOCTOR] Well, I'm not quite sure, dear boy, but it's, it's somewhatfamiliar. [DODO] It looks dead boring to me. Come on. [DOCTOR] No, wait, child, wait. [DODO] Why? [DOCTOR] Well, I don't think it was the Refusian's influence that mademe become intangible. No, I think it was something here, and I don'tlike the feel of the place anymore than you do but we have to face upto it. You know, I think I was meant to come here. [STEVEN] Hey! Look! That's me! [DODO] What is? [STEVEN] Here, on this screen! [DODO] What screen? [STEVEN] Here! That's me on the planet Kemble. [DODO] There's nothing there. [DOCTOR] But I believe I now know where we are. [STEVEN] It's changed again. There I am in Paris. [DOCTOR] Now turn around this instant! Turn away from it, dear boy!We're now in the world of The Celestial Toymaker, and that screen ishypnotic. He's trying to dominate your mind. [STEVEN] But, Doctor. [DOCTOR] There is nothing there. Do you understand me? There is nothingthere at all. You must believe me. [STEVEN] What was it? What happened? [DODO] What's the matter, Doctor? I couldn't see anything on the screen. [DOCTOR] Come here, child. Now whatever you do, you must not allowyourself to be trapped into looking at it. [DODO] Who's the Celestial Toymaker? [DOCTOR] He's a power for evil. He manipulates people and makes theminto his playthings. Whatever you do, neither of you must look at thatscreen. It's a trap. [TOYMAKER] What a spoil-sport you are, Doctor. They like my memorywindow. [DOCTOR] You! I might have guessed. [TOYMAKER] Of course. I've been waiting for you a long time. [DODO] Where's the Tardis? [TOYMAKER] Don't worry, my dear. Just watch over there. [DODO] It's me the day my mother died! [DOCTOR] Turn away from it this instant! [STEVEN] Look away. [TOYMAKER] What a shame. I thought my little invention would amuse you. [DOCTOR] You and your inventions, ha! Now, both of you, be very careful.This place is a hidden menace. Nothing is just for fun. [STEVEN] What's the idea of it? [DOCTOR] He's trying to get us into his power. That's why we've got tofight him. [DODO] Well can't we just go? I hate this place. [DOCTOR] My dear, but how? That is the question. [DODO] In the Tardis, of course, as always. [TOYMAKER] There are many of them. Take your choice. [STEVEN] There are hundreds of them! [TOYMAKER] Yes, hundreds. Come, Doctor. [DOCTOR] No! [STEVEN] Doctor! [DODO] Have you gone invisible again? [STEVEN] No, he's gone. That man has taken him away. [DODO] I don't like it. We should never have stayed. [STEVEN] It's too late now. [DODO] Who was that man? [STEVEN] I don't know. But we've got to find the Doctor. [STEVEN] What on Earth? [DODO] Shhh! Shhh! Steven. [STEVEN] But why have I got to be quiet? [STEVEN] Very funny. Don't see what you've got to laugh about. [DODO] If you could only see your face with that hand. [DODO] For me? (honk) Oh thanks. No one's ever given me flowers before. [STEVEN] If you could just see your face. [DODO] I'm not sure that I like these clowns. [STEVEN] Look, can either of you talk? (honk) Well, how about you? [CLARA] (very high pitched) Yes, I can talk. How are you? [STEVEN] I'm fine. But what do you want with us? [TOYMAKER] They're here to entertain you. Play a game with you. [STEVEN] Well, thank you very much. We've been entertained. We don'twant to play your games. Now where have you taken the Doctor? [TOYMAKER] Taken the Doctor? Nowhere, my dear chap. The Doctor and I aregoing to play a little game together. You can watch the results on thatboard. [TOYMAKER] But you must win all your games before he does. [STEVEN] Look, we're not interested in your games. We want to go back tothe Tardis. [TOYMAKER] That's impossible. [STEVEN] Impossible? [TOYMAKER] Well, not quite impossible, but you'll have to win a fewgames first. After each game, if you win, you will find a Tardis, whichmay or may not be the real one. [STEVEN] What do you mean, the real one? [TOYMAKER] As you have seen, I have many copies. [DODO] So we have to win a game before we can get to the Tardis. [TOYMAKER] Right. Several games, in fact. [STEVEN] And if we lose? [TOYMAKER] Then you both stay here as my guests. [DODO] We'd better play his silly games, Steven. [STEVEN] I don't see why we should humour him. He's obviously around thebend. [DODO] That's just it. If we don't do as he says, we may never get outof here. [TOYMAKER] Well? [STEVEN] All right, we'll play your little games. But if we win, we getthe Tardis back, okay? [TOYMAKER] Agreed. [STEVEN] And if we lose? [TOYMAKER] You'll never see the Tardis again. [STEVEN] Wait! [DODO] You never asked him about the Doctor. [STEVEN] Oh, he's probably got his game to play. I'm glad we're notplaying that one. [DODO] What are we playing? [CLARA] Blind Man's Buff! --------------------------------------- (Toymaker's office) [DOCTOR] You will kindly cease this practical joking, and let us go atonce. [TOYMAKER] Patience, Doctor, patience. You've only just got here. Relax.It's so nice to see you again. [DOCTOR] And now you have, so let us go. [TOYMAKER] You're so innocent, Doctor. The last time you were here, Ihoped you'd stay long enough for a game, but you had hardly time toturn around. [DOCTOR] And very wise I was, too. You and your games are quitenotorious. You draw people here like a spider does to flies. [TOYMAKER] How absurd. It amuses me to give amusement. [DOCTOR] And should they lose the game they play, you condemn them tobecome your toy forever. [TOYMAKER] That is one of my rules, certainly. But if they win, they'reperfectly free to go. [DOCTOR] And if I refuse? [TOYMAKER] Then you lose by default. Is that what you choose? [DOCTOR] No, I do not. I should never have left the Tardis. [TOYMAKER] You're so insatiably curious. That's why I ensured that thescanner would be blank. I knew that would bring you out. [DOCTOR] Another one of your conjuring tricks. What game is it you wantme to play? [TOYMAKER] This. [DOCTOR] The trilogic game? [TOYMAKER] The trilogic game. A game for the mind, Doctor, the developedmind. Difficult for the practiced mind. Dangerous for the mind that hasbecome old, lazy or weak. [DOCTOR] You infer that my mind is getting weak and old? [TOYMAKER] Well now, we shall see. Perhaps it is merely lazy. [DOCTOR] How dare you. [TOYMAKER] So you still think that you can pit your mind against mine? [DOCTOR] Of course I can. [TOYMAKER] Good. I hope that the time you have spent dabbling in yourresearches round the universe hasn't dulled you. I need you. [DOCTOR] You need me? [TOYMAKER] Yes. I'm bored. I love to play games, but there's no one toplay against. The beings who call here have no minds and so they becomemy toys. But you will become my perpetual opponent. We shall playendless games together, your brain against mine. [DOCTOR] As you said, if I win the game, I can go. [TOYMAKER] So you can, Doctor, so you can. But I think you will lose.Can you remember how to play? [DOCTOR] I am only allowed to move one piece at a time. [TOYMAKER] That is right. And you must rearrange them in the same orderthat they are now on point C. [DOCTOR] And I am not permitted to put a larger piece on a small piece. [TOYMAKER] Correct. And you have 1,023 moves to do it in. That is theexact amount. If you make one mistake, you lose. And to help you count,there. [TOYMAKER] When the two rows of numbers match, the game is over. [DOCTOR] I see. Can I begin? [TOYMAKER] Don't be so impatient, Doctor. [DOCTOR] You are not asking them to play this game. [TOYMAKER] Good heavens, no. They are on the competitive quest. [DOCTOR] Competitive? And who are the others? [TOYMAKER] Two clown friends of mine. They are the home team. They willplay against your friends and win the quest. [DOCTOR] Quest? What quest? [TOYMAKER] The hunt for the Tardis. Win the games, and you get it back. --------------------------------------- (Toyroom) [DODO] It's rather like a Snakes and Ladders set I used to have. [STEVEN] Looks crazy to me. [DODO] Oh, go on, have a go. It looks fun. [STEVEN] What, me on that? Not on your life. [DODO] But this is the game we have to play, right? [CLARA] This is your game. [STEVEN] Right, then you play it. [CLARA] Oh no! You must play it. It's all quite simple. You start here,blindfold. [STEVEN] You must be joking. Kids game. [DODO] Steven! Go on. [CLARA] You have to cross these obstacles without falling down. And ifyou get home without falling down, you win the game. [STEVEN] And what's old What's-His-Name there going to be doing all thistime? [CLARA] His name is Joey. I'm Clara. He will play it too, of course. [STEVEN] And if he loses? No answer that time. And what happens if weboth manage it? [CLARA] Then we play it again until someone loses. [STEVEN] Oh, it's a great future the Toymaker's got mapped out for us.All right, chum, you want to show me how it's done? (honk, bell, honk,bell) That means yes, I suppose. (honk) [CLARA] You must come with me. [CLARA] This is where we control them. One buzz for right turn, two forleft, three to stop, four to start. --------------------------------------- (Toymaker's office) [DOCTOR] Dodo? Steven? This is the Doctor. The game you're going to playis not so innocent as it looks. Be on your guard. --------------------------------------- (Toyroom) [DOCTOR [OC]] If you lose this game, we shall behere forever. So watch out for --------------------------------------- (Toymaker's office) [TOYMAKER] That was unwise of you, Doctor. [DOCTOR] I must warn them. [TOYMAKER] Attend to your own game. Go from move 152. [TOYMAKER] Keep playing, Doctor. And to stop you interfering, I shallhave to dematerialise you again. There. [DOCTOR [OC]] You are overreaching yourself, Toymaker. How can I playthis game? [TOYMAKER] Let's see. Suppose we leave you one hand, there. I suggestyou resume the game. [TOYMAKER] I thought you'd see it my way, Doctor. --------------------------------------- (Toyroom) [CLARA] We won! We won! [STEVEN] Just a minute. I haven't had a go yet. [DODO] But the Doctor warned us. [STEVEN] It's all right, I can manage it. Rope, five stones, steps,plank, tube. Now I can do it if you can guide me. After all, he can doit. And you remember the directions? [DODO] Right, one buzz. Left, two buzzes. Four to start and three tostop. [CLARA] Can you see? [STEVEN] Not a thing. Right, I'm ready. [CLARA] Ready now. [DODO] Look what he's doing! Cheat! You cheat! Steven, look out! [CLARA] He can't hear you! The door's self-locking! [STEVEN] Dodo, be careful. You nearly made me fall that time. [STEVEN] What have you done now, you clown, you? [STEVEN] One right. One right? [STEVEN] Phew, that was close. (honk) Yes, you'll honk when I get thisblindfold off. Now he's moved another. He moved the first to the right,he's moved the second to the left. [STEVEN] No, what now? (buzz) To the right? (honk) You wait! [DODO] I don't see how he has a chance of winning if you cheat all thetime. [CLARA] Cheat? Oh no. It's just a few variations. It makes it more fun. [STEVEN] What was that? (honk) You again. I warn you! (honk) Games withclowns. [(He reaches the end and begins to climb down. The final obstacle is alarge flexible tube which he must pass through in order to reach home.Buzz buzz buzz. Buzz buzz.)DODO] He's far too big to squeeze through that tube. [CLARA] Joey did. [DODO] But suppose he gets stuck half way, what then? [DODO] Look what he's done! It's not fair! [CLARA] He goes back to the start! [DODO] And you think that's fair? Let me out of here! Open the door! [CLARA] I can't! [DODO] Oh, you're just like a doll! A rag doll! I don't think this funnyat all. [STEVEN] Oh, no! [STEVEN] Look, I warned you! [CLARA] We won! We won! [DODO] You cheated. Steven completed the course. [CLARA] We won! Now you'll never find the Tardis! [STEVEN] Look, it's a draw. Now let's do it again, this time with him inthe booth! [CLARA] The winner! [DODO] Steven, look at this! You can see right through it. It's not areal blindfold at all! [STEVEN] No wonder you were able to run round the course so easily. Andnow we'll try it again, only this time with a real blindfold. Not sofast! Here, put that on him. You'd better go in the booth to guide him. [STEVEN] Right. Now we'll play The Toymaker's little game fairly. Go on,Dodo, start him off. [DODO] Steven, I'm frightened. Have you noticed he's not funny anymore? [DODO] Steven, you'd better stop him. He'll fall. [STEVEN] We can't stop him. It's him or us. Go on. You can't stop now! [STEVEN] Come on. [DODO] It can't be empty! [STEVEN] It is. [STEVEN] Look. [DODO] What's that? [DODO] Four legs, no feet, of arms no lack, it carries no burden on itsback. Six deadly sisters, seven for choice, call the servants withoutvoice. What does it mean? [STEVEN] A riddle. Look, here's a way out. [DODO] Perhaps this is to tell us where the Tardis is. [STEVEN] Or perhaps it's just another game. Anyway, we've got to findout. --------------------------------------- (Cupboard) [DODO] This is the next game? [STEVEN] No. We'll find the next game behind this door. [DODO] How can you be sure? [STEVEN] Look. [DODO] The Doctor's move recorder for his game. [STEVEN] Yes, I know. This door's here to delay us. I think we're meantto try to get it open. The Toymaker's hoping that we'll waste time. [STEVEN] That should do it. It won't open. [DODO] But it must. What's wrong with it? I know, let's pull instead. --------------------------------------- (Toymaker's study) [DOCTOR] I haven't made a mistake yet. [TOYMAKER] Let's hope not, Doctor. I would hate you to end up in mydolls' house. I reserve that fate for your two friends. [DOCTOR] They'll win, too. [TOYMAKER] No, they will lose one game, and then, like the clowns,they'll become my toys, and we shall be able to amuse ourselves throughall eternity. [DOCTOR] What do you mean? [TOYMAKER] You remember the agreement? They must find your Tardis beforeyou finish your game. If they don't, then you will have to stay hereand you'll be in my power forever. Look, they've already reached theirnext test. [DOCTOR] That game? I might have known. [DOCTOR] Steven! Dodo! Take care. It's chair number [TOYMAKER] You fool! Now I have been forced to make you dumb as well asintangible. You cannot speak until you have reached the second to lastmove of the trilogic game. Now then, let them play their games whilstyou play yours. Go from move 444. And no more clever tricks, if youplease. [TOYMAKER] Your friends managed to outwit my clowns. I shall have tofind more worthy opponents for them. There. I think perhaps the Heartfamily. They have great experience in a great variety of games. --------------------------------------- (First Chair room) [STEVEN] The Doctor was trying to warn us. [TOYMAKER] I'm seriously annoyed with your friend. Once again, he triedto talk to you, so I've had to deprive him of his voice. Let it be awarning to you. Play the games according to the rules I set, or give upnow. [STEVEN] The rules you set? Your own players break them. They cheat! [DODO] How can we believe anything you say? Everything here is sostrange. [STEVEN] We can't even be certain that that was the Doctor's voice weheard at all. It could have been you leading us toward another trap. [TOYMAKER] I'm glad to see you're at last treating me with respect. [DODO] Only as long as you have the Doctor. After that, we'll see [STEVEN] Forget it, Dodo, he's gone. [STEVEN] What odd looking chairs. Perhaps these are what the Doctor wastrying to warn us about. [QUEEN] Is this the room? Is this the room, I said. [KING] Oh, er I think so, my dear. [QUEEN] And I suppose these are the people we have to play against. [KING] Hmm? Oh! Oh! Peasants, my dear. [QUEEN] Peasants! [STEVEN] Just a minute. Who do you think you're calling apeasant? [DODO] Steven, don't you see who they are? [STEVEN] Well, yes, they do look familiar. [DODO] They're playing cards. We shall play our next game with a coupleof playing cards. [STEVEN] The Toymaker's warped sense of humour, I suppose. [QUEEN] None of these look in the least like your throne. [KING] Hmmm? No, no, no, they don't, do we my dear. Although theToymaker did say we'd find them in here, didn't he? [STEVEN] What was that riddle again? [DODO] Er, four legs, no feet, of arms no lack, it carries no burden onits back. [STEVEN] That must be these chairs. [DODO] But what about the rest of it? Six deadly sisters, seven forchoice, call the servants without voice. [STEVEN] Hmmm. Well that can't be the chairs. There are only three ofthem. [QUEEN] You're not paying the least attention again. I warned you, if wedon't find that throne, he'll keep us here. We shall remain playingcards for the rest of eternity. [KING] Ah! Very good point, my dear. Yes, yes, we must find the throne. [DODO] What do you make of them? They seem almost like real people. [STEVEN] Oh, ignore them. They're sent here to distract us. Let's take alook through here. [QUEEN] Where's that Knave? Cyril! Cyril! Tormenting the Joker againI'll be bound. [JOKER] Did you have to give him that sword? [QUEEN] Quiet, Fool. Cyril, what are you doing? [CYRIL] Nothing. Just playing with the Fool. I'm hungry. [KING] Ho, ho! The boy's always hungry. [JOKER] He's a pig. [QUEEN] What did you say? [JOKER] I said, give him a fig. I thought there was a throne to find. [QUEEN] So there is. Where have those peasants gone? [KING] Hmm? Oh, through that door, my dear. [QUEEN] Why didn't you tell me? [KING] Well, you never asked, me dear. [QUEEN] We must follow them at once. [KING] Oh. [QUEEN] Fool, you stay here and look after these chairs. [KING] Oh, but, now that the Fool is here, don't you think we could havea joke or two? [QUEEN] No! Come on. [KING] Oh, well, then, a riddle then? Or a merry quip? [QUEEN] Are you coming? [KING] Oh, yes, my dear. --------------------------------------- (Second Chair room) [STEVEN] Dodo! Four in here, three in there. It must be the chairs. Whatis it? Six deadly sisters, seven for choice. I suppose that means sixof them are dangerous. [DODO] And only one is the right one. [STEVEN] We'll have to find out which one by elimination. But how? Andhow dangerous are they? [DODO] No, Steven, don't. [STEVEN] Why? What's wrong? [DODO] Don't risk it. None of the Toymakers' toys are just jokes. Six ofthese chairs will destroy us. [STEVEN] It's a charming thought, but you're probably right. But Dodo,have you noticed all these cupboards? They're all exactly the sameshape as the Tardis. [DODO] Yes, but they could be as dangerous as the chairs. [STEVEN] No, I don't think so. There are only four, and there weren'tany in the other room. [STEVEN] It's all right, they're only dolls. [DODO] I've got it. We'll use the dolls to sit in the chairs. If we'vegot enough that is. That's four here, and these three make up theseven. [STEVEN] Don't touch them! [DODO] Why? What's wrong? [STEVEN] Well, they may be dangerous, too. [DODO] But the riddle said six deadly sisters, and some of these are mendolls. [STEVEN] What was the last line again? [DODO] Erm, call the servants without voice. But you can't call someonewithout speaking. [STEVEN] But they haven't got voices. We have. Dolls, come out! Look,they must be the servants. Maybe it's some poetic term, the call bit. [STEVEN] Nothing's happened yet. Well, if we can get them all out beforethe king and queen get here, we can test the chairs. [DODO] Wait. With seven dolls in three cupboards, what's the other onefor? [STEVEN] Perhaps that might be the real Tardis. [DODO] It won't open. [STEVEN] Of course, the Doctor's got the key. Come on, look! [STEVEN] The Doctor's more than half way through his game already. We'vegot to find out what we've got to do here first, quick, before theothers arrive. [QUEEN] Ah, the peasants again. Caught you in the act. What are you upto? [KING] Oh, they seem to be playing with dolls, my dear. [QUEEN] I can see that. The point is, what are they doing with them? [DODO] They seem very real. We're going to use the dolls to test thechairs. [QUEEN] To test them? [DODO] Yes. Six of them are dangerous and only one is safe. You know, Ifeel very foolish talking to a playing card. [QUEEN] A playing card? [DODO] Well, aren't you? [STEVEN] Dodo, it's useless talking to them. They're just products ofthe Toymaker's imagination. [QUEEN] We're as real as you are. Henry. [KING] Oh, er, yes, my dear? [QUEEN] Come here. [KING] Yes, my dear. [QUEEN] Let this wretched child feel your arm. [KING] Feel my arm? [QUEEN] There, child. Isn't that an arm? Not much of one, I grant you,but nevertheless, a real arm. [DODO] It is, Steven, these are real people. Feel his arm. [STEVEN] No, I'll take your word for it. Look, if you're real people,what are you doing here? And why are you wearing those ridiculousclothes? [KING] Ah yes, well, it would take a little too long to explain, my boy.The fact is that we are victims of the Toymaker, the same as you are.For instance, if I were to sit in this chair. [QUEEN] Henry, no! We don't know. [KING] Oh! Oh, no, no, no, we don't, do we? [QUEEN] We must use the dolls. We'll each choose a doll in turn, andthen we'll take it in turn to test the chairs, that way we'll find theanswer even quicker. [DODO] We found the dolls. They're ours. And we're supposed to beplaying against you. [QUEEN] But that doesn't seem right. There are four dolls and four ofus. We must be meant to have one each. That's only fair. [KING] And then we can test the dolls sitting in the chair before doingso ourselves? [DODO] What do you mean, one each? What about [STEVEN] It's all right, Dodo. [DODO] Yes, but what about [STEVEN] It'll be all right. Now never mind and keep quiet. All right,go ahead. Choose your dolls. [DODO] But I don't understand. What about the others? [KING] Oh, no no no, don't fuss yourself, m'dear. The point of the gameis to see who picks the chair which isn't dangerous, and whoever doesthat is the winner. If it's you, you'll get your Tardis back, and if itis us, we get our liberty. [STEVEN] Now, he's right Dodo. Now go on, choose your doll, and keepquiet. We'll try our luck in the other room. [DODO] Oh, very well. [KING] Oh, are you going, m'dear? [STEVEN] We'll see you later. [QUEEN] I thought we were all supposed to play this game together? [STEVEN] Well as there are seven chairs, I thought that Dodo and I mighttry our luck in the other room. That way we'll all have an equalchance. [KING] Ah, yes, yes, yes, certainly my boy, yes, anything you like. Yes,well, good luck. [STEVEN] Come on, Dodo. [DODO] All right, I'm just coming. They're so big. [KING] Charming couple, aren't they? [QUEEN] It isn't very charming to be told you're not real. We were notamused. Well, which chair do you suggest? [KING] Yes, well, none of them look like the throne, do they m'dear? [QUEEN] Well, then you must pick one at random. [KING] Ah, yes of course, random, yes, yes. Ah, now. [QUEEN] No, Henry! Put the doll in it. [KING] Oh, the doll, yes, quite right, yes, my dear, of course, thedoll. Ah, here we are then. Now then, we'll take the doll and then.Oof. I say, it's rather heavy, my dear. Nearly as heavy as I am, I'veno doubt that this will be perfectly good test for the [QUEEN] Henry! --------------------------------------- (First Chair room) [STEVEN] Oh, no. Not more playing cards. [DODO] They look rather sweet, don't they? A Jack and a Joker. [STEVEN] Leave them alone and concentrate. You nearly gave the game awayin the other room. They think that there are only four dolls. Now ifeveryone chooses the wrong chair with those dolls, we're going to needthe extra ones to find the right chair. [DODO] Is that fair? They seem quite nice and friendly. [STEVEN] Can't you understand? We've got to win every game, otherwisewe'll never see the Tardis again. This isn't a children's party. [DODO] Well, I'm sure if you explained that then the King and Queenwould help us. [STEVEN] Oh, Dodo, they belong to the Toymaker, remember that. He wantsto keep us here. At any rate, the Doctor. [DODO] Why? [STEVEN] I don't know, and it doesn't matter. But we've got to find theTardis before the Doctor finishes the game he's playing. Right. Throwyour doll into a chair. [DODO] Throw it? [STEVEN] Yes. Six of these chairs are deadly, remember that. I don'twant to see either of us caught out by one of those. Now throw it. [DODO] Very well. [DODO] What happened? [STEVEN] It was some sort of electrocution! That could've been us. [DODO] Yes. I see what you mean about this not being a children's party. [CYRIL] A party? Is it tea time, already? Mmmm, I smell crumpetstoasting. What's that? [DODO] Oh, don't be scared of us. [STEVEN] All right, stand by. I'm going to try chair number one. [DODO] It's horrible! The Toymaker must be mad! Do you really think hemeans to kill us? [STEVEN] What do you think? [DODO] Well, what do we do now? [STEVEN] Well, we've got to get the other dolls. We've got to get out ofthis place. [DODO] We can't go in there! [STEVEN] Why? [DODO] Or they'll know about the three extra dolls then. --------------------------------------- (Second Chair room) [QUEEN] Henry, turn the thing off. [KING] I don't think I can get near enough, my dear. [CYRIL] I wish you'd stop this silly game! [KING] Father's a very nice chair here for you, my boy. [CYRIL] Mother! Did you hear what he said? [QUEEN] Henry! [KING] Well, just a harmless little joke, my dear. Yes, well, I supposewe'd better try the doll in it, don't you think? Now then, upsa dazy.We shall try the doll in this chair now. [KING] Oh dear! It's, it's disappeared! [QUEEN] I can see that! Well, that leaves us with chairs number five andsix. What do you propose we do now? [KING] Well, I suppose we'd better see how that young couple are gettingon in their room. [QUEEN] Well, they can't have succeeded. We'd have had a visit from theToymaker if they had. [KING] Ah, yes, yes. Oh, we need two more dolls. Ah, yes, a pity. Iknow, the Fool! [QUEEN] Oh really, Henry. How you can think of entertainment at a timelike this? Oh yes, of course. I see. The Fool! [KING] Precisely, my dear. [CYRIL] Mother! Mother! --------------------------------------- (First Chair room) [DODO] Be careful. [STEVEN] No, it's no use. I can't tell a thing just by looking at it.We'll have to get those other dolls. [DODO] The King and Queen are coming. [STEVEN] Good, I'll tell you what I'll do. I'll try to distract them.You step into the other room and test the chairs. If they're bothdeadly, then this must be the right one. [KING] Ahh! Still one chair left to try, I see. [QUEEN] Why don't you try it, girl? [DODO] Why don't you? [STEVEN] Haven't you had any luck either? And no more dolls. Well itlooks like stalemate, doesn't it? [KING] Ah! Not quite, my boy. Oh no, I still have one card to play, ifyou'll excuse the expression. [JOKER] Oh, what goes up the chimney down, and can't come down thechimney up? [KING] Down the chimney. Oh no, no, no, my dear fellow, no, no not work.We want your advice, don't we my dear? [QUEEN] Advice? From a Fool? [KING] We still have to pick a throne, my dear. Ah, now then, my dearfellow, for instance, what do you think of this chair? [STEVEN] No, you don't. Not this one. [DODO] Steven, the cupboard with the other three dolls. It's locked. Ican't open it. [STEVEN] But you must. It was open before. [QUEEN] Three more dolls? [KING] And you kept them from us? [QUEEN] Cheats! [KING] Oh, dear, dear. [STEVEN] Oh, you can talk after what you were about to do to this poorfellow. [JOKER] Poor fellow? What's that? [KING] Oh, nothing, my dear chap. Now, er, come with us. We can't leaveyou in such company. [QUEEN] Certainly not. [KING] Come on, my dear fellow. [QUEEN] Come, Cyril! [STEVEN] Now you've done it. You've handed them the game right on aplatter. If this isn't the real chair, we've lost the game. [DODO] I don't see that. [STEVEN] Look, they've got two more chairs to test. They get the Jokerto sit on one. If this isn't the right chair, then the other one mustbe. --------------------------------------- (Toymaker's office) [TOYMAKER] You've been moving along verysatisfactorily. It's especially commendable considering that young Dodohas chosen to sit in the wrong chair. The freezing chair. --------------------------------------- (First Chair room) [STEVEN] Dodo, you fool! [DODO] Steven, I feel cold all the way through. [STEVEN] Stand up. [DODO] Help me. I'm freezing. I can't move. [STEVEN] Stand up. [DODO] I can't! [STEVEN] Look, try. You must. You must try. [DODO] I think I'm turning to ice, Steven. [STEVEN] Fight the cold. Fight it, Dodo. You've got to get out of thatchair. Now fight it! [DODO] It's no use. [STEVEN] Look, you must try. We've got to concentrate together. [DODO] We can't. [STEVEN] We must. Now! [DODO] Oh, thank you. You did it. [STEVEN] Oh, we did it together. [DODO] Oh no, I couldn't do a thing. I couldn't move. [STEVEN] Thank goodness you're safe. The Doctor would never haveforgiven me if anything had happened to you. [DODO] But, Steven, we've lost. --------------------------------------- (Second Chair room) [KING] Well, there's a much better choice in here.Now give us your honest opinion. Which is the better chair? [JOKER] Well, sire, I think, er, perhaps that one. [KING] Number six? Good, good. Well, it is not possible really to test achair by just looking at it.QUEEN [JOKER] Oh, poor fellow. Poor fellow. [JOKER] What's he laughing at? [QUEEN] He wasn't laughing, were you? [JOKER] And they call me a fool. [KING] Well, look, sit down, my dear fellow. [JOKER] Oh, not on your life, sire. A joke's a joke. I'm giving notice.You can try out your chairs for yourself. [KING] Huh, Your son, I think, my dear. [QUEEN] Well, what do you propose we do now? [KING] Well, there's nothing else for it. You'll have to try out thechair. [QUEEN] I? [KING] Well, one of us will have to. I know, we'll draw matches. [QUEEN] No, I don't trust your matches. We will toss for it. Heads! Ah! [KING] You forget, my dear. I know that coin. It's got two heads. [QUEEN] Then. [KING] We will both sit in it. [QUEEN] And if we go, we go together. [KING] My love. [KING] Nothing happened. [QUEEN] It's all right. [KING] We worried for nothing. [DODO] Oh, the poor things. We must help them. [STEVEN] No, not now. [DODO] You mean? [STEVEN] That must be the one. [DODO] We've won! There's the Tardis! As soon as the Doctor wins hisgame, we can go! We're safe! Oh, no, it can't be. It's got to be thereal one. Look! It's happened again. [STEVEN] It's another of those that the Toymaker's made. Nothing.Absolutely nothing. Well, what now? [DODO] You know, we never really solved that last riddle. Call theservants without voice. [STEVEN] No. Let's try again. You never know. Dolls, dolls, wherever youare, come out! [TOYMAKER [OC]] You're doing better than I thought, but don't rest onyour laurels. The Doctor is succeeding even faster than you. Time andluck are running out. Here is the next clue. Hunt the key to fit thedoor that leads out on the dancing floor, then escape the rhythmicbeat, or you'll forever tap your feet. [STEVEN] But. [DODO] He's gone. [DODO] Steven, look. [STEVEN] I said that's all they were. Never mind that now. The nextgame. Come. [DODO] Dolls, dolls, wherever you are, come out! --------------------------------------- (Toymaker's office) [TOYMAKER] I congratulate you, Doctor, on yourchoice of friends. A very astute couple. Neither of my teams have beenable to beat them yet. I think they have earned a little amusement.Now, what have we here to amuse them? [TOYMAKER] Ah. Sergeant Rugg and Mrs Wiggs. These then are who Stevenwill find behind the door. [STEVEN] Useless. No sign of a door handle, latch, or lock. We're stuckhere. [DODO] Steven, the servants, they're following us! [STEVEN] Huh? [DODO] The servants without voice, they've come! They scare me. [STEVEN] They're only dolls. [DODO] We called them. Perhaps we can make them go back to theircupboard. Dolls, go back. Go back to your cupboard! [STEVEN] I'll stop them. [DODO] Steven, be careful. You don't know what they might do. After all,we helped destroy the other four dolls. [STEVEN] Perhaps we can edge past them. [DODO] We can't get past them now. [STEVEN] At least they've stopped. I'm going to try. You follow me. [DODO] Look! --------------------------------------- (Kitchen) [STEVEN] Be careful, Dodo, it might be a trap. [RUGG] A trap? In here? In Mrs Wiggs' kitchen? Hey, you want to watchyour language young fellow, me lad. [WIGGS] Here, what do you want in my kitchen? [DODO] We're looking for the next game. Perhaps you could help us. Theclue goes, Hunt the key to fit the door that leads out on the dancingfloor. Then escape the rhythmic beat, or you'll forever tap your feet. [WIGGS] The only dancing floor what I know of is through there. [DODO] Thank you. [RUGG] All right, young fellow me lad, no loitering! Pick your feet upthen! Hup two three four, hup two three four. [STEVEN] Why don't you go back in your box? [RUGG] What's that? Why, you young whipper snapper, I'll er [STEVEN] You'll what? [RUGG] Well, I'll er, well you need a good hiding, me lad. [STEVEN] And who's going to give it to me? [WIGGS] And no fisticuffs in my nice clean kitchen, Sergeant, if youplease. [RUGG] Oh ho, it's a good thing you spoke just then, Cook. No tellin'what I mighten' a done to him if you hadn't stopped me. [WIGGS] Oh, you're a terrible man when you're riled, Sergeant. [RUGG] Well, army trainin', Cook. Six years with the Iron Duke. [DODO] We've got to get in there. That's what the clue says. The Tardismust be on the dance floor. [STEVEN] How the Toymaker expects us to play his crazy games when helocks all the doors, I don't know. [RUGG] I'd like to have 'im in my mob. Just give me a month. I'll make aman of him. [STEVEN] What was that? [RUGG] Er, well, er, not that he needs makin' a man of, but, er, sharpenhim up a bit like. [STEVEN] Look, I warn you. [DODO] Honestly, Steven. If they're not real, how can you lose yourtemper with them? You can't have it both ways, you know. [STEVEN] Oh, all right. I'll ignore them. They're just sent here to getmy goat. But where do we go from here? We're stuck. [RUGG] Ha, ha, the Iron Duke wouldn't have been stuck over a littlething like that. [STEVEN] All right, I'm ignoring him. [DODO] What would the Iron Duke have done? [RUGG] Well, 'e'd have had another look at the riddle, I expect. [DODO] The riddle? Then escape the rhythmic beat, or you'll forever tapyour feet. [WIGGS] No, not that bit, duck. The first bit. [DODO] Hunt the key to fit the door, that. Steven, that's it. [STEVEN] Then the game is - [RUGG] Hunt The Thimble! [DODO] Only it's a key. And a rather large one at that. [STEVEN] The only problem is, where do we start looking? --------------------------------------- (Toymaker's office) [TOYMAKER] You've stopped playing, Doctor. You know that isn't allowed.Go from move 770! [TOYMAKER] Now play on. [TOYMAKER] You're still not playing fast enough. Go from move 813! Yourfriends have reached their third game. Hunt the Key! --------------------------------------- (Kitchen) [DODO] Steven, haven't we seen him before? [STEVEN] I don't know. [DODO] Wasn't he the Jack of Hearts? [STEVEN] Possibly, but does it matter? I mean all the Toymaker'screations look alike to me. We have to find the Tardis before theDoctor reaches move 1,023, so we haven't got long to find that key.It's hot! [WIGGS] So what'd you expect? You come away from me pots and pans. [DODO] Look, we've got to find the key to that door. [WIGGS] Well, he won't find it there. [DODO] How do you know? [RUGG] Because Mrs. Wiggs always knows what's best, that's why. [DODO] You'll help us find the key, won't you? [RUGG] Er, ahem, well, er, I don' know, em [DODO] You look so marvellous in that uniform. You must be very brave. [RUGG] Well, er, I try to do my duty, girl. [DODO] Then you'll help us, for my sake. [RUGG] Well, er, alright, but for you, mind, not for him. [DODO] Where do you suggest we start looking? [RUGG] Ah, well, er, let's see now, er, what about this old dresserhere, hey? [WIGGS] Here! You watch what you're doing with my dresser. [WIGGS] What do you think this is? A bloomin' fair ground? Oh! Here, youput them things back in the drawer. [RUGG] It's all right, Mrs Wiggs. I'm just helping the young lady. Here,er, what's your name, me girl? [DODO] Dodo. [RUGG] Dodo. Oh, what a lovely name, Dodo. Oh, I like that. [WIGGS] Well, you go and like it somewhere else, and take your friendwith you. [RUGG] Oh, come, Mrs Wiggs. The girl's been and gorn and lost her key. [WIGGS] Well, she won't find it here. [STEVEN] Take no notice of them, Dodo. They've been sent here by theToymaker to put us off. This time we're getting warm. [WIGGS] Ahhh! That's me foot! You come out from under there! [STEVEN] It isn't under the table. [WIGGS] When you've quite finished. [STEVEN] Dodo, take a look behind that thing. I'll take a look overhere. [RUGG] 'Ere, now, wait a minute, girl. You don't want to get up there.You'll fall and break your leg. Eh, let me look for you. [DODO] That's very kind of you. [RUGG] Oh, not at all, ma'am. Happy to be of - oop - service. [WIGGS] Sergeant Rugg! What do you think you're doing of up there? [RUGG] Now don't you worry, Mrs Wiggs. I'll be all right. [WIGGS] I'm not worried about. It's my best china! (smash) Oooh! Oh! Mebest plate! [RUGG] A little accident, Mrs Wiggs. [WIGGS] Accident? That was no accident! You dropped that platedeliberate like! [RUGG] I hope you're not calling me a liar, Mrs Wiggs - oop! [WIGGS] Oh! Another accident, I suppose! [DODO] Oh! Oh, perhaps you'd better come down, Sergeant. [RUGG] Oh don't you worry, miss. It's perfectly all right. [WIGGS] Oh! Sergeant Rugg! You come down here this instant! [RUGG] Soldiers don't take orders from civilians, Cook. Now you justpipe down! [WIGGS] Pipe down? You great oaf. You couldn't fight a pussycat! [RUGG] You didn't ought to have of said that, Cook. [WIGGS] Oh! Oh! Oh Sergeant Rugg! Just you wait till I make you sorryfor that. If you think I'm going to stand for you throwing my bestchina about you're very much mistaken! Take that! [DODO] Oh, please, please stop. This is all my fault. [STEVEN] Dodo, ignore them! This is all being done to prevent us fromfinding the key. They don't really exist, remember? It's not real. [WIGGS] What did he say? [DODO] Are you sure about that? [STEVEN] Oh, come on. We've got to find that key. That is supposingthere is one. We've looked everywhere, haven't we? [DODO] But I'm afraid it's all my fault/ [STEVEN] Nonsense! This is another distraction laid on by the Toymakerto stop us finding the key. [DODO] Oh, where? You said it was just a distraction, and [STEVEN] They seem to get rougher as they go along, but we've lookedeverywhere. Do you suppose there really is a key? [WIGGS] Take that, and that, and that, and that, and that! [DODO] Oh, look! You've thrown just about all the buns there are tothrow. Couldn't you both call a truce? [WIGGS] A truce? After he broken me best china? [DODO] Well, I'm sure he'll apologise. [RUGG] Apologise? [MRS. WIGGS] Oh! [DODO] Oh, well, you did break her plates, you know. [RUGG] Soldiers never apologise. It's a rule. [DODO] But a gentleman would always apologise to a lady. [WIGGS] Huh! Soldiers! A gentleman! [DODO] Sergeant Rugg is, I'm sure of that. [RUGG] I apologise. [DODO] There. Now will you accept his apology? [WIGGS] Oh, all right then. But he has to pay for my china! [RUGG] Pay for the ch? Now then, you see why soldiers never apologise?Give the old trout an inch. [WIGGS] Old trout, is it??!! Just you wait for that, Sergeant Rugg! Oldtrout! [RUGG] Now then, careful with that broom, Mrs. Wiggs Careful. [CYRIL] Argh! Let me go. [STEVEN] Where do you think you're going? [CYRIL] N-n-n-n-n-n-nowhere! [STEVEN] Come on, I think that you know where that key is, don't you?Oh, so we're getting somewhere at last, are we? [STEVEN] Hey, you, come back here! [DODO] I'm sure you'll hurt him with that broom! [RUGG] Well, if she does, then this pie'll get hurt as well. [WIGGS] What? Not that pie. Not that pie! Put it down! [RUGG] Oh? Well then, you put that broom down, Missus. [STEVEN] What's she so worried about this pie for? Look at the rest ofthe mess. [DODO] Steven, that's one place we haven't looked. [STEVEN] Where? [DODO] In the pie! [STEVEN] I see what you mean. [DODO] Steven, the key! I've got it! [STEVEN] Come on, Dodo, be quick! [DODO] Goodbye! Sorry about your kitchen. [TOYMAKER] Wretched pair! I give you a chance of life, and this is whatyou do with it. Look at the kitchen! [RUGG] My fault, sir, not her's. [TOYMAKER] Such gallantry from a mere doll. Now listen to me, the pairof you. Clean yourselves up, and get out onto that dance floor. At thefar end you will find a Tardis. Steven and Dodo must be prevented fromgetting to it at all costs. Do you understand? If you fail me, I willbreak you in pieces like this. --------------------------------------- (Ballroom) [STEVEN] The Tardis! [DODO] Steven, be careful. This could be as dangerous as those chairs. [STEVEN] But there's no other way of getting to it. [DODO] It can't be as simple as that, can it. There must be a catchsomewhere. Then escape the rhythmic beat, or you'll forever tap yourfeet. What does it mean? [DODO] How strange. I can do it, too. [STEVEN] Yes. The Doctor's game won't wait for us, though. We've got totake the chance. [DODO] Hello. Ah, you made it up. [RUGG] Well, Mrs. Wiggs' got much too warm an heart to keep a quarrelgoing, miss. [WIGGS] Oh, Sergeant's going to take me to the ball. [DODO] The ball? [RUGG] Yeah, right here, girl. No lack of partners, as you can see. Ohthey never get tired of dancing, them dolls. [STEVEN] Well, it seems all right. I'm going to make a dash for it. [DODO] Steven, this is no time for a dance. [STEVEN] I can't help myself! [DODO] Steven, this is what the riddle meant! --------------------------------------- (Toymaker's office) [TOYMAKER] You're doing very well, Doctor. Let's hope you haven't made amistake. Still, we'll find that out when you reach your 1,023 move.) [TOYMAKER] I see that Steven has taken time off from the quest to godancing. Oh, keep on playing, Doctor. --------------------------------------- (Ballroom) [DODO] Get away from it. You must! The riddle warned us it would beforever. [STEVEN] I can't! It's holding me in a grip like steel! Get away fromthe floor, Dodo. Go back! [DODO] But then we can't reach the Tardis! [STEVEN] I'll try to dance nearer to it! [RUGG] Not a bad dancer for a civilian. [WIGGS] Make a lovely partner for you, ducks. [DODO] Can't you dance down to it, Steven? [STEVEN] I can't lead! I'm just being carried round and round. [DODO] Then I'm going to try and reach it. [STEVEN] What are you doing? Go back. [DODO] I can't! [RUGG] Now that we're dancing, what was it the Toymaker wanted us to do? [WIGGS] Reach that big cupboard up there before them. [RUGG] Ah, well, what about that doll there, then. [WIGGS] Ah, that's the game, duck. You dance with her, while I run forthe cupboard up there. [RUGG] Oh, beggin' your pardon, Mrs W, this is man's work. You dance,and I'll run. Well, to be quite frank with you, Mrs W, soldiers don'tdance. Well, officers, perhaps. But sergeants, no. Here, why don't youtry the floor? [STEVEN] Dodo, keep close to me. [DODO] Why? [STEVEN] Don't ask questions. [WIGGS] Oh, hurry up, Sergeant, I can't keep it up for long. [RUGG] Just on my way, Mrs W. [STEVEN] Dodo, come here. [WIGGS] I'm surprised at you, Sergeant Rugg. Put that hussy down and getto the cupboard! [RUGG] I can't! [STEVEN] He's going, Dodo. We must get nearer the Tardis. [DODO] He's bound to try and stop us somehow. [STEVEN] Well, we'll be ready for them. We're almost there. Concentratenow. Here we are! --------------------------------------- (Cupboard) [STEVEN] Huh, it's another fake. I wonder how manyof these things he made? [DODO] Far too many. I'm beginning to wonder if we'll ever see the realone again. We might be shut in here forever. [STEVEN] No, of course we'll find it. Come on, don't lose heart now.We've been through too much. How on earth do we get out of this thing? [DODO] I wonder if we'll ever see the sergeant and the cook again? Theywere rather funny, you know. [STEVEN] Look, you still believe in these creations of the Toymaker,don't you? You can't see that they're just phantoms, things created inhis mind. [DODO] If that's so, why do they lose to us? And always through doingsomething silly and human? [STEVEN] Oh, I don't know. Maybe they get out of his control. [DODO] There, that's just what I meant. [STEVEN] What are you talking about? [DODO] Look, he can bring them to life, but they have wills and minds oftheir own. I'll never be able to look at a doll or a playing card againwith an easy mind. They really do have a secret life of their own. [STEVEN] Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! We've got to get you out of here and quick! [DODO] Why? What do you mean? [STEVEN] This place is beginning to get you. [DODO] Oh, rubbish! Just because you can't see it. [STEVEN] We've got to find the next clue. Now there isn't even atelephone here. It must be in here somewhere. [DODO] Still, can't help wondering what happened to them. --------------------------------------- (Toymaker's office) [TOYMAKER] You forget that I can see you, even if no one else can. Butyou laugh too soon. The game is not yet over, either for you or foryour two clever friends. They still have a game or two to play yet. Butthey must not win the next game. [TOYMAKER] Clowns! Nursery characters! Playing cards! I was foolish totrust you to play my games for me. You're all too human, too kind. Imust find a more deadly character. [TOYMAKER] Ah! The most deadly character of them all because he looks soinnocent. A fat, jolly school boy. I wonder what your friends will makeof him, Doctor? And I see you only have 123 moves to go. --------------------------------------- (Cupboard) [DODO] Hey, what do you think that is? [STEVEN] This could be the next riddle, or the next warning. [STEVEN] Not again. [DODO] Well, there's the way out. [STEVEN] Let's read this first. Lady Luck will show the way, win thegame or here you'll stay. [DODO] Well, that's shorter than the others were. [STEVEN] Doesn't mean it's going to be any easier. Come on. --------------------------------------- (Passageway) [DODO] I can't see. [STEVEN] Don't do anything till we know exactly what's happening. [CYRIL] Hello, remember me? I'm Cyril, known to my friends as Billy. Hadyou that time! Scare ya? [DODO] Yes, it did. [STEVEN] We've seen you before, haven't we? [CYRIL] Yeah, that's right. You're Dodo, aren't you? And you're Steven? [STEVEN] I got a shock! [CYRIL] You should see your face! [STEVEN] You'll feel my hand in a minute. What have you got there? [CYRIL] Hey, careful! I'll show you. Look. [STEVEN] Take the thing off. [CYRIL] Oh, all right. There. [STEVEN] Any more of these schoolboy jokes on you? [CYRIL] I don't know why you're carrying on like this. I'm just tryingto be friendly. [STEVEN] Well, it's charming way to make friends. [DODO] I'm sure he didn't mean any harm. [CYRIL] Of course not. Here, have some sweets. [DODO] Oh, no thanks. [CYRIL] Oh, go on, do. [STEVEN] Dodo, go on, take them. We'll be here all day. [CYRIL] If I eat any more, I shall be sick, I expect. [CYRIL] You know, you're one of my heroes. When I grow up, I want to bejust like you. [STEVEN] When you grow up? [CYRIL] Yes. [STEVEN] You look pretty grown up to me already. [DODO] Steven, look. The Doctor's reached move 902. [STEVEN] We'll have to hurry. Come one, where's the next game we have toplay? [CYRIL] Yaroo! It's right over here. You won't find it so easy thistime, you know, because you see, you'll be playing against me! --------------------------------------- (Episode Four - TheFinal Test) (Game room) [CYRIL] Well, here we are. Here's the next game. Tardis Hopscotch. [STEVEN] What are we supposed to do with it? [CYRIL] Well, it's very simple, really. You see, each player takes oneof these dice, and throws them onto the triangles, and the number thatyou've thrown will appear up at the end there, on the dice indicator.(a rotating barber's pole) That's to make absolutely certain that noone can cheat. And you move forward the number that you've thrown. Thefirst one to reach triangle fourteen's the winner. Easy, isn't it? [STEVEN] It's too easy. What's the catch? [CYRIL] No catch. First one home's the winner. [STEVEN] That gives us a two to one chance over you. [CYRIL] Why, so it does. Well, there you are. You just jump fromtriangle to triangle and the first one home wins. [STEVEN] Why do we have to jump? [CYRIL] Well, you can walk if you like, but I shouldn't if I were you. [STEVEN] Why not? [CYRIL] Well, you see, all the area between the triangles is electric,and you'll be killed. --------------------------------------- (Toymaker's office) [TOYMAKER] I don't think your friends will do sowell now, Doctor. Cyril hates to lose, so he makes sure that he neverdoes. Oh, don't stop playing, Doctor. You're so near the end. Soonyou'll discover whether or not you've got the sequence right. [TOYMAKER] I think you need help. Go from move 930. [TOYMAKER] At this rate, you'll finish your game long before Steven andDodo find the Tardis. It will be fun having you here. and your friendswill make charming dolls. It may interest you to know that their chairsare ready and waiting for them in the doll's house. --------------------------------------- (Game room) [CYRIL] Now, you all know what we have to do. [BOTH] Yes. [CYRIL] Ladies first, if you don't mind. [DODO] Three. [STEVEN] Careful, Dodo. [DODO] One, two, three. [CYRIL] You next. [STEVEN] You're just too good to be true, aren't you. Four. One, two,three, four. [STEVEN] It says go on to number seven. Do I? [CYRIL] Yes, go on. [STEVEN] One, two. [CYRIL] Oh, by the way, I should have told you. If you land on atriangle that's already occupied, the first player has to go back tothe starting post. [STEVEN] Now I see why you let us go first. All right, go on, don't keepus in suspense. [CYRIL] It's all part of the game, old chap. Two. One, two. [DODO] Now it's my turn. I think I'm going to enjoy this game. Three.Oh, I'm sorry, Steven. Do I have to send you back to the start? [STEVEN] Look, surely we can't send each other back. We're supposed tobe playing together. [CYRIL] If you don't abide by the rules, you can't possibly win thegame. [DODO] He's right, Steven. We must play fair. After all, we are two toone. [STEVEN] All right. [STEVEN] Watch him. [STEVEN] What's that mean? [CYRIL] He's pretending he doesn't understand the rules. Wizard sense ofhumour. You go back a turn. My turn now, I think. Ah! A three. One,two, three. I'm still right behind you. --------------------------------------- (Toymaker's office) [TOYMAKER] Only seventy two moves to go. Cyril seemsto have the game well in hand. Your friends are tiring, Doctor. I don'tthink they're going to get your Tardis back. [TOYMAKER] As you are certainly going to lose, I feel I should be kinderto you. You're no longer under the ban of silence. There! I have givenyou back your voice. Now you're sulking. Or have you forgotten how tospeak? [DOCTOR] Throughout this game you have spent a great deal of trouble intrying to break my concentration. And it's very unlikely that you willsucceed now. --------------------------------------- (Game room) [CYRIL] It's only me, Cyril. [STEVEN] Look, I've told you before about these idiotic jokes. Shenearly fell off. [CYRIL] It's all part of the game, old chap. Now you can go back to thestart for cheating. [DODO] That's not fair, is it? [CYRIL] Certainly! He moved out of his triangle and it wasn't his turn.And I've landed on your triangle, so you can both go back to the start. [STEVEN] I've had enough of this. He makes up the rules as he goesalong. Come on, Dodo. I'm going to the finish line. I want to see ifthat's the real Tardis or not. [TOYMAKER] Don't you like my little game? [STEVEN] No, I don't. [TOYMAKER] What a pity to give up now, having overcome so manyobstacles. [DODO] We're not giving up. [TOYMAKER] Are you sure? [STEVEN] I just want to get to the end of this. [STEVEN] It's no good. It's some sort of invisible barrier. [TOYMAKER] Precisely. A barrier that yields only to those who play thegame according to the rules. So perhaps you'll go back to the platformwhere you started? [STEVEN] Come on, Dodo. [CYRIL] (targeting Steven with his catapult) Yah! One up to me. My turnnow, I think. Oh! A two. One, two. [STEVEN] I'm going to see if there's any invisible barrier around hisbackside. [DODO] Better not. Who's turn is it? [STEVEN] Mine. Ah, that's better. Six. One, two (and wobbles on landing)three, four, five, six. Do I get a second turn for a six? [CYRIL] Eh? Certainly not. [STEVEN] No, I thought not somehow. --------------------------------------- (Toymaker's office) [TOYMAKER] I think they'll abide by the rules now, Doctor. Don't youagree? There's no point in giving you back your power of speech ifyou're going to just sit there silent and solemn. [DOCTOR] You seem to say quite enough for both of us. In any case, I'mbusy. [TOYMAKER] Your friends are not doing very well. [DOCTOR] I think your friend Cyril won't do so well when Steven catchesup with him. [TOYMAKER] Poor Steven. Little does he know. You're playing too slowly,Doctor. Go from move one thousand. (Pyramid on C is almost complete.Counter 4 is on A and counter 5 is on B) [TOYMAKER] Only twenty three moves to go. And look, your friend Stevenhas had to miss a turn. --------------------------------------- (Game room) [STEVEN] (on 5) Oh, no. Not another miss a turn. [CYRIL] You can't possibly win now. Why don't you both give up? [STEVEN] It's up to you now, Dodo. Come on, give it a good shake. [DODO] Six! [DODO] One. [STEVEN] Careful. [DODO] Two, three, four, five, six. (She's on 10) Now I only need fourto get home. [CYRIL] And I only needed three and it's my turn now. Too bad, isn't it.Oh, two. One, two. [DODO] Steven, look. He has to go back to nine! [STEVEN] Come on. Look who's trying to cheat now. [CYRIL] Give a chap a chance to do up his shoelace, will you? One, two,three, four. [STEVEN] That's better. Now come on, Dodo, you must throw a four. [DODO] Steven, do you think he's really hurt? [STEVEN] It's another trick. Roll the dice. [DODO] Look, he's bleeding. He's hurt his foot. We can't just leave him. [STEVEN] Play! [DODO] No! I'm going to help him. [STEVEN] Dodo! [DODO] Oh, look! You'd better take your sock off. Hey, That's red ink! [CYRIL] Of course it is. You're so easy to fool, you are. Now you can goback to the start for getting out of your triangle, and miss a turn.That means it's my turn now! [DODO] Well, of all the spiteful things! [CYRIL] Teach you to think you can beat me at a game! A five! Hooray,I've won! Yaroo! Hoorah for me! [DODO] What happened? [STEVEN] I don't know. Poor old Cyril. Hey, this triangle's covered inslippery powder. He must have put this here himself and forgotten allabout it. He was caught in his own trap. It serves him right. Come on,Dodo. The game's over. [DODO] No, we've got to play the game to the end. You heard what theToymaker said. I'm sure I can throw that four. [STEVEN] All right, well, hurry. Look at that tally. (1,014) TheDoctor's almost finished his game. [DODO] Four! We've won, Steven! (and nearly falls off number 11herself.) [STEVEN] Dodo, I told you about the powder. Now, take it easy. Wemustn't lose now. Now, go on. I'll follow you over. [DODO] Perhaps it's just another fake. [DOCTOR] Well, I was right. [TOYMAKER] Make the last move, Doctor. [DOCTOR] No. Not yet. Excuse me. (switches on the monitor) Yes, I seeSteven and Dodo have found the Tardis. One little trick, and yourlittle trick is broken. I am now visible. [TOYMAKER] You are indeed, Doctor. Well done. The three of you have wonyour little games. [DOCTOR] I am glad you take it so calmly. Well now, if you will excuseme, I will go and see if the Tardis is all right. --------------------------------------- (Game room) [DODO] Just suppose this isn't the real one. [STEVEN] Look, it must be! If it wasn't, something would have happenedby now. And listen. [DODO] What? [STEVEN] It's humming. Only the real Tardis does that. [DODO] Are you sure the Toymaker couldn't have made one of his a hummingone? [STEVEN] Why didn't he make the others do it? [DOCTOR] Well done, my boy. [STEVEN] Doctor! [DOCTOR] Yes, I'm back with you. Well done. I'm very glad to hear thatyou're bringing logic into your guesses. [DODO] Oh, you're safe. You've won your game. [DOCTOR] Yes, my dear, and I think it was high time that we were off. [STEVEN] I can't wait to leave this place. I don't want to play anothergame ever. [DOCTOR] Well, I don't think that's going to be likely, dear boy. [TOYMAKER [on monitor]] I hope I do not interrupt the council of war. [DOCTOR] Oh, my dear friend, don't waste our time on trivialformalities. You have been defeated, so now leave us alone. [DODO] You know you must lose in the end. [TOYMAKER [on monitor]] Only I can win. If I lose, the Doctor and I godown together. [DOCTOR] Now don't start red herrings, you charlatan. [TOYMAKER [on monitor]] Go on, young people, go on. Ask your elderlyfriend if he can win completely. [STEVEN] Is it true, Doctor? Are we bound to fail? [DOCTOR] No, my dear boy. He's just tricking us into despair. Take nonotice of him. [TOYMAKER [on monitor]] Tell them the truth, Doctor. Hide nothing. [DODO] You must tell us. We ought to know. [DOCTOR] Well, I am compelled to tell the truth. It is possible that theToymaker can drag us down in defeat with him, unless [STEVEN] Unless what? [DOCTOR] Well, it's all very simple. It's a matter of the battle of ourbrains. [DODO] Well, do we have a chance to escape? [DOCTOR] Yes, we still have a chance, but we must proceed with cunning. [TOYMAKER [on monitor]] An impossible task. [STEVEN] As long as we defeat you, that's all I care. You can't beat usnow. [TOYMAKER [on monitor]] We shall see. [DOCTOR] Well said, my boy, well said. [TOYMAKER [on monitor]] Well said? He doesn't even know what he issaying. These adolescent expressions of loyalty. Before you makepuerile promises, remember the past, your little adventures. Remembermy power. [STEVEN] Your power? We won through, didn't we? [TOYMAKER] Perhaps, but would you dare to play those little games again? [STEVEN] Not until I've laid hands on you. [DOCTOR] Oh, it's no use, Steven. Leave him. [DODO] Are you all right? [STEVEN] I couldn't touch him. [DOCTOR] He's using his mind to turn your strength against yourself.Now, go back into the Tardis. I will deal with him. [TOYMAKER] Doctor, I offer you power. Power to corrupt, to destroy.Think of the exhilaration of that power. Serve me and live. [DOCTOR] Never! Never, my friend. You have been defeated. [TOYMAKER] We will see, old man. The game is not yet over. We shall see. [DOCTOR] What have you done? Stop meddling with my ship! [TOYMAKER] It isn't what I have done, but what you have not done. Youmust finish the game. You cannot leave here until you have. [DOCTOR] Your infantile behaviour is beyond a joke. No. Of course, Imustn't. You very nearly caught me then. [TOYMAKER] Make your last move, Doctor. Make your move. [DOCTOR] But if I do, this place vanishes. [TOYMAKER] And then you have won completely. [DOCTOR] And if this place vanishes, then the Tardis and the rest of us,will vanish also. [TOYMAKER] Correct. That is the price of success. Make your last move,Doctor. Make your last move. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [STEVEN] What can be keeping him? [DODO] Something the Toymaker has done to the Tardis. The Doctor has topersuade the Toymaker to let us go. [STEVEN] We won his games, we have the right to go. The Toymaker saidthat. [DODO] Now I'm here, I don't mind. I know I'm safe. [STEVEN] I think I'm going to take. Oh, here he is. [DOCTOR] Close the doors, my boy. [STEVEN] So what's happened? [DOCTOR] It's no use. [STEVEN] What's he done? [DOCTOR] If we destroy the Toymaker, we destroy this world. [STEVEN] Well, is that bad? [DODO] Surely, that's a good thing. This is really a very sad place. [DOCTOR] I don't think neither of you understand. As the games are over,and won by us, everything outside the Tardis disappears. And if we arethere, we disappear also. [DODO] But we have won and it hasn't happened yet. [DOCTOR] But it will, my dear, the moment I go out there and make thefinal move of the trilogic game. [STEVEN] Why doesn't he just let us go? He can't want to be destroyed. [DOCTOR] Oh, he won't be. [DODO] But if everything disappears, why not him? [DOCTOR] If the Toymaker loses the game, his world will vanish, but hehas the power to build a new one. [DODO] How? [DOCTOR] The Toymaker is immortal. He's lasted for thousands of years.Very occasionally, of course, he loses a game, and then he has to paythe price. [STEVEN] And that price is the loss of his world? [DOCTOR] Yes, but he himself is not destroyed. He goes on forever. [STEVEN] So we can't leave. [DOCTOR] There must be a way. --------------------------------------- (Game room) [DOCTOR [OC]] Will you leave my ship alone? Do youhear me? Will you leave my ship alone? [TOYMAKER] Let me have it, Doctor. It will be such an amusing toy. [DOCTOR [OC]] Let me have the trilogic game in here. [TOYMAKER] Of course not. Be reasonable, Doctor. If I allow you to makethe last move in there, then you can preset your controls anddematerialise at the same moment that my world vanishes. Then you willescape. [DOCTOR [OC]] It will make no difference to you. You can build a newworld. [TOYMAKER] Of course. And I look forward to that. I'm bored with thisone. But I'm a bad loser, Doctor. I always destroy the destroyer. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] I will not come out and make that finalmove. [TOYMAKER [on scanner]] Then you must stay there forever. [STEVEN] Doctor, let me go out and make that move for you. [DOCTOR] Oh, nonsense, dear boy. You don't want to disappear. [STEVEN] At least you and Dodo would get away. [DOCTOR] Yes, well, that's very noble and kind of you, but I absolutelyforbid it. You've done quite enough in getting the Tardis back. [STEVEN] All right, but something's got to be done. We can't just standhere and talk our way out of this. [DOCTOR] We can! That's just it. That's just what we can do. Listen tome. I will make that final move. --------------------------------------- (Game room) [TOYMAKER] How sensible of you, Doctor. [DOCTOR [OC]] Go back to the trilogic game. Are you ready? [TOYMAKER] Whenever you are, Doctor. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] Very well. (whispers) Preset fordematerialisation. (loud) Go to move 1,023! (nothing, so he imitatesthe Toymaker's voice) Go from move 1,023! Master switch! [DODO] You did it! You did it! We won! [STEVEN] Doctor, but how was it done? [DOCTOR] My dear boy, it was your very idea. Your very idea. Don't yousee? When the Toymaker wanted to move the pieces, he had to commandthem in a certain tone of voice to make them move at all. [DODO] But you had to do it twice. [DOCTOR] Yes, but in the first place, you see, I couldn't, because Iused my own voice. [DODO] I don't see. [STEVEN] I do. The Toymaker wasn't playing. [DOCTOR] Exactly, dear boy, exactly. Therefore, I had to imitate theToymaker's voice to make them obey me, and they did. [DODO] We'll never see him again, will we, Doctor? [DOCTOR] Oh, my dear, don't talk too soon. The mind is indestructible.So is the Toymaker. [STEVEN] What, you mean he can never be destroyed? [DODO] But you defeated him. [DOCTOR] Yes, just at this moment, but there will be other meetings inan other time. [DODO] Then your battle with him will never end. [DOCTOR] Yes, you're quite right, my dear, but anyway, let us cheer up.After all we did win the games. [DODO] Hey, let's celebrate with these. [DOCTOR] With what? [DODO] Here, these. [DOCTOR] What are those? [DODO] They're Cyril's sweets. He gave them to me just before the racegame. [STEVEN] Oh, throw them away, Dodo. I only told you to take them so thatwe wouldn't waste anymore time. [DODO] Oh, all right. [DOCTOR] This is really interesting. The last present from the Toymaker.I wonder. [DODO] Doctor, what's wrong?

Andlastly sir, your humble servant Doctor Caligari. [MASTERSON] Doctor Who? [DOCTOR] Yes, quite right. I've just been satisfying the Sheriff herethat we are a humble troupe of travelling players. Unfortunately, sir,at the moment between engagements. MASTERSON [DOCTOR] Oh, is that so? Oh, well, that's no matter, no. You see myprime purpose for visiting your city, sir, was to avail myself theservices of a dentist. [WYATT] A dentist? [DOCTOR] Yes. [WYATT] Well, then, Doc Holliday's your man.

[DOCTOR] Oh, my dear young man, can't you sing a little? [STEVEN] Well yes, a little, but why say it at all? [DOCTOR] Well, I had to find some sort of suitable cover. After all, youcan't walk into the middle of a Western town and say that you've comefrom outer space. Good gracious me, we'd all be arrested on a vagrancycharge. [STEVEN] And what about our little wizard of the keys? Miss Dupont, canyou play? [DODO] I'll have a bash. [DOCTOR] There will be no necessity to have a bash, because tomorrowmorning we're going to leave Tombstone and we should be back in theTardis in for lunch. You know, I don't think that that is a very subtleform of advertising, do you? Yes, come to think of it, my dear, youknow I think my toothache's better. Yes, I don't think it's going to beat all necessary [STEVEN] Come on, Doctor. Straight into the surgery. I'll go to thehotel and book the rooms. [DODO] Please, Doctor. You'll feel so much better afterwards. [DOCTOR] Oh, I only wish I shared your confidence, my dear. However, Isuppose I'll meet you both back in the hotel lounge. Oh! There it goesagain.

But I'll be thinkin' of ya. [HOLLIDAY] She's a kind of a sensitive girl. Well now, what seems to beyour trouble, sir? [DOCTOR] Well, I think it's at the back here somewhere. [HOLLIDAY] Let me look. Oh yeah, I see. Well now, if you'll just holdreal still, I'll er [DOCTOR] Oh, just a minute, please. Haven't you any anaesthetic? [HOLLIDAY] What?

[HOLLIDAY] You're welcome to a slug o' rattlesnake oil! [DOCTOR] Oh, my dear man, I never touch alcohol. [HOLLIDAY] Well, I do. [DOCTOR] Well, I must say, this is most unprofessional. I do hope youknow what you're doing. [HOLLIDAY] I never tolerated any complaints yet, in my whole life. Nowthen, you just open wide. [BALLAD] It's your last chance of boozing, --------------------------------------- (Last Chance Saloon) [CHARLIE] Sorry it's kinda quiet in here tonight,gentlemen. We, er, do reckon to have a singer only she's just steppedout a while down the [BILLY] Maybe it's too quiet for you, barman? Like us to liven it up alittle for ya?

Well, I'll be [STEVEN] Why, what's the matter? [CHARLIE] Well nothin' in the wide world, friend. I just might be ableto offer you a job is all. I got no pianist on account he was shot lastweek, and I do have a singer, but she's always out someplace.Understand? [DODO] I think so.

[PHINEAS] So Holliday has got hisself a partner! [IKE] Harper, are you sure Holliday don't know we're lookin' for him? [HARPER] How could he? I ain't spread it about. [IKE] I dunno, but when he comes to collect his key I'll sure have me anitchy feelin' in mah back thinkin' of his friend Regret comin' downthose stairs behind me. Phin, go up and fetch him down. [PHINEAS] What'll I say? [IKE] Anything, only keep it friendly. [PHINEAS] You're the boss. [IKE] And Harper, You take a walk down main street and see if you canfind Holliday. I'm gettin' tired of just sittin' here waitin'. --------------------------------------- (Dentist's office) [HOLLIDAY] My, my, what a fine piece of ivory. Youknow, I think I'll give that to Kate for a souvenir. [DOCTOR] I don't care what you do with it, my good man, only get it outof my sight. [HOLLIDAY] Yeah. [DOCTOR] What do I owe you?

Yes, Isuppose you've brought a message from my friends. [HARPER] Well, a kind of a message, Doc. The boys are waitin' for you atthe saloon. They'd sure like to buy you a drink. [DOCTOR] Oh, well, that's very sociable of them, but unfortunately Idon't touch alcohol. [HARPER] That's not what I heard, Doc, but we'll play it your way. [HARPER] Look, we'll give you five minutes, and if you ain't there we'llcome looking for you, okay? [KATE] Now, Doc. [HOLLIDAY] Nah, nah, nah, nah. [DOCTOR] That's a very charming man, that man Mister Harper. Did youhear what he said? [HOLLIDAY] Yeah, that's just Western hospitality, you know. But ifyou'll forgive my saying so, you ain't dressed right for a party. [DOCTOR] Oh, my dear man, I fail to see that my clothes have [HOLLIDAY] Ah now, it ain't exactly your clothes. [DOCTOR] Well, what is it then? [HOLLIDAY] You ain't wearin' a gun. [DOCTOR] Well, I should hope not. I certainly disapprove of violence. [HOLLIDAY] Now you can borrow mine. [DOCTOR] No, no, no, no, no. [HOLLIDAY] Now, come along here. You just stand up here. Now you put theholster on him. [DOCTOR] I insist. [HOLLIDAY] Now my gun here has my name printed on it, from way downAlabama, where my father was a Colonel in the army. So you can returnthat to me when you leave Tombstone, which no doubt you will. Now,there you are sir. [HOLLIDAY] You put that in the holster. Fetch the gentleman's hat, Kate. [KATE] Here we are! [HOLLIDAY] There now, ain't he smart? Ain't 'e though! [KATE] Swell, cute. [HOLLIDAY] Let's just come along to your party, you come along to yourparty. [DOCTOR] Thank you, thank you. I don't know how I shall ever repay you. [HOLLIDAY] You'll find a way to repay me. Goodbye, and good luck. [DOCTOR] What? [HOLLIDAY] Goodbye and good luck. [DOCTOR] Oh, yes, indeed, yes. thank you. And the same to you and manyof them. Yes, thank you. Goodbye for the moment.

[KATE] So fill up your glasses and join in the song, [DOCTOR] Well played, Steven, my boy. Well played. Yes, and you too, mydear. Excellent. I'd really no idea. [STEVEN] Oh, thank you Doctor. Neither had I. [HARPER] Well, if it ain't the great Doc! [DOCTOR] Oh, you flatter me, young man. Yes, reasonably accomplished Iwould say, but not great. [HARPER] You can say that again. [DOCTOR] Oh, really? Why? Oh, yes, of course. We met a little while agodown at the dentist. Yes, and you so very kindly invited me to join youand your friends for a drink! [HARPER] And a little talk, Doc. [DOCTOR] Yes, quite so, quite so. Well, I'm afraid I don't touchalcohol, but a little glass of milk and I should be only too delighted.Won't you, er, introduce me? [HARPER] Yeah, yeah, give me a pleasure. Doc, I would like you to meetthe Clanton brothers. [DOCTOR] The Clanton brothers. Oh dear. I mean, er, how d'you do? [IKE] Recognise the name, Doc? [DOCTOR] Oh yes I do, indeed, yes. Steven, don't you think it's time wewere going? [IKE] Not just yet, Doc. We haven't had our little talk about brotherReuben. The late brother Reuben. [DOCTOR] Oh yes, I know. Yes, sometimes after a bereavement it's verydifficult to find exactly the right kind of words. [IKE] The right words? [HARPER] Easy. You see, Doc, the boys don't want words. They wantaction. [DOCTOR] Oh indeed. Yes, yes, yes. Well, if you take my advice, I wouldleave it in the hands of the right people. [IKE] And the right people happen be your friend Wyatt Earp? [DOCTOR] Er, he's not my friend, no. I would rather call him a casualtravelling acquaintance. [PHINEAS] Well that ain't the way I heard it. [HARPER] Nor me. [IKE] Nor me. We heard that you and him were closer than fleas on aporcupine. [BILLY] Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday. The bottle-puncher lawman and thegood-for-nothing drunken gambler. [IKE] Steady, boy. Let Seth handle this. [DOCTOR] Wait a moment. I think I can begin to see your mistake. [HARPER] It's your mistake that we're interested in, Doc. [DOCTOR] But I am not the Doc. The man you're looking for is the localdentist. Yes! He has a little shop here, along the street. [HARPER] It seems to me that's where I found you. [DOCTOR] Yes, well, I can explain that. You see [HARPER] And your gun's got his brand on it. [DOCTOR] Er, well, yes, as a matter of fact he lent it to me because er,because er [IKE] Because what, Doc? [DOCTOR] Er, well, just until I leave the town, as it were. [HARPER] You ain't leavin' Doc. [PHINEAS + IKE] Live, that is. [DOCTOR] Excuse me, gentlemen, gentlemen, you must have made a horriblemistake. Steven, my boy [PHINEAS] One word out of your friend Regret here and he gets his. [KATE] Aw for Pete's sake, Doc, tell 'em you're Holliday! You can takeon all four of 'em any time. [DOCTOR] Yes, I'm sorry, gentleman, but this is Holliday's younggirlfriend, and she's only lying to protect him. Now, as I've alreadytold you about this gun. [KATE] Okay, don't try it, fellas. Nice shooting, Doc, but ya shouldhave got him between the eyes. [DOCTOR] Between the who? [KATE] The eyes. [DOCTOR] Oh, my dear young lady, I, I, I, I [KATE] Kill the next one that moves. [DOCTOR] Yes, yes, quite so, quite so. Very good idea. Excellent. Well,you heard. Steven, get their guns! [DODO] I thought I heard a shot. [HOLLIDAY] Quiet! Now you just get right back to your room, missy. [DOCTOR] How do we proceed? [KATE] Line 'em up against the piana'. [DOCTOR] Yes, excellent idea. Well, gentlemen you will move over in anorderly fashion. You too. [STEVEN] Hey! [IKE] You won't get away with this, Holliday! [DOCTOR] I keep telling you I'm not Holliday. Well, what do we do now? [KATE] Well, Doc, I reckon that's up to you now. [HARPER] You should have killed me when you had the chance, Doc, becauseyou're gonna pay for this. [DOCTOR] Indeed, indeed, And may I point out that I still have thechance, sir? [HARPER] Well I don't have no gun. [DOCTOR] Exactly! That's the whole point isn't it? [PHINEAS] Am I hearin' right? [BILLY] If you ain't the lowest, meanest sidewinder [WYATT] Howdy, sinners! Happen you're holding a prayer meeting? Why, I'dbe proud to join you. [DOCTOR] My dear Marshall, I'm so glad to see you. You know, I wastrying to explain to them [MASTERSON] Looks like you was explaining? Hand over yer gun. [DOCTOR] Well! [MASTERSON] Wyatt and I handle that kind of explaining around here. Justeasy down, everybody. You too, Kate. [WYATT] Now who did what? [GANG] Holliday did it! [HARPER] We was just having ourselves a friendly discussion. [IKE] Before we could say a word he had us lined up here like a row [PHINEAS] Yeah, he shot us all down in cold blood. [STEVEN] Don't you listen to 'em, Marshall. I saw the whole thing, andit was these guys. [WYATT] Oh sure, sure, boy. Sure, it must of been quite a sight. Now,Doc. [MASTERSON] Now wait a minute, Wyatt, this guy ain't. Have you gone mad?Doc Holliday's. [WYATT] Oh, be quiet, Bat. I reckon I can figure clear enough what musthave happened. I'm sorry, friend, I'm gonna have to take you in. You'reunder arrest, pop. [DOCTOR] Under arrest? And don't you call me pop. You know very well whoI am, sir! [WYATT] I surely do, old friend. [DOCTOR] I want to see my solicitor. [WYATT] A what? Huh. A night in the Jailhouse is just about what youneed. [DOCTOR] Oh, very well, but I promise you, you will regret this, sir. [MASTERSON] All I hope is you know what you're doin', Wyatt. [WYATT] Oh, I reckon I do. Well, goodnight sinners. I'm sorry your stayin our fair, law abidin' city has been so, er, rudely disturbed. [PHINEAS] Well, if that don't beat all. [IKE] That figures. He couldn't take us in until he'd got the Doc out oftrouble like always. [BILLY] Yeah. Hey, what about him? [IKE] Yeah, what about him? --------------------------------------- (Dodo's room) [DODO] How long are you proposing to keep me here? [HOLLIDAY] Hardly no time at all, ma'am. Just relax. [HOLLIDAY] Oh, Kate. [KATE] So that's where you're hidin', Doc Holliday. [DODO] Doc Holliday? [KATE] What's she doin here? [HOLLIDAY] Ah, she saw me fire the gun. [KATE] Yeah, I guessed that was you. That's why I come a lookin'. Youshoulda killed the little rat. [HOLLIDAY] That thought did occur to me, but I reckoned that in theensuing fracas you might get hurt as well as the old guy. [KATE] Sure. Real soft-hearted, ain't ya? [DODO] Look, which old guy are you talking about? [KATE] Oh, a real nice old guy, lady. He came in to get a tooth fixed. [DODO] That must have been the Doctor. What happened to him? [HOLLIDAY] Wyatt Earp's arrested him. [DODO] Arrested? [HOLLIDAY] Now why would Wyatt do a thing like that? [KATE] Because Wyatt let them go on thinkin' the old guy was you, that'swhy. [HOLLIDAY] Oh, yeah. [DODO] I must go to the Doctor. You've got to let me out of here. [HOLLIDAY] If he's in the hands of Wyatt Earp he could not be safer. Nowthen ladies, why don't all let's settle down to a nice game of chance? --------------------------------------- (Sheriff's office) [MASTERSON] Now, how come you got a hold of Holliday's gun? [DOCTOR] I have already told you, my dear Sheriff. He lent it to me. [MASTERSON] And why would Holliday do a fool thing like that? [WYATT] Because he knew the Clantons was a-laying for him. [DOCTOR] Yes, a most unscrupulous man. [WYATT] Yeah, I think I'll go find him. [DOCTOR] Ah, but I insist on coming with you. [WYATT] Now you'll stay right where you are. Why, you've got four of themeanest characters in the territory believing you're Doc Holliday. [WYATT] You take one step outside of this jail, friend, and you're adead man. [BALLAD] You've a good chance of dyin', --------------------------------------- (Last Chance Saloon) [STEVEN] Now I don't care what Wyatt Earp said.That man's not Doc Holliday. [HARPER] Well he sure enough shoots like Doc Holliday. [STEVEN] He never fired that shot. They've got no right to arrest him.He's done nothing wrong. [BILLY] You planning to get him out of jail? [STEVEN] What's so funny about that? I gotta get him out. [PHINEAS] All you gotta do is gun down Earp and Bat Masterson. You allset to try that? [STEVEN] No, of course not, but. Well, I know if I can get him out ofjail I can prove who he really is. [IKE] Now wouldn't that be somethin'. Boys, what d'ya say we give MisterRegret here a hand? [HARPER] Yeah! --------------------------------------- (Dodo's room) [BALLAD] There's gamblers from Denver, [KATE] Okay, Doc, so you cleaned me out again. [HOLLIDAY] I'm thirsty. Kate, take a look down in the bar. See if we'vestill got company. [KATE] Now, Doc. [HOLLIDAY] Take a look, I say! [HOLLIDAY] I'm sorry to speak sharp, Missy, but I'm gettin' to feelalmost as caged up here as you are. [KATE] They're still there, still drinkin'. [HOLLIDAY] Oh well, I think maybe I'll take a little walk. [KATE] Oh now Doc, you promised there'd be no more trouble. [HOLLIDAY] Now you wouldn't want me to die of thirst, would you? [KATE] Oh well now, if that's all that's troublin' you. You left abottle back in your office. Why don't ya just crawl back there and getit? [HOLLIDAY] Now that's all a man needs. A real gentle, understandin'woman. I'll be back just as soon as you've finished breaking up mycharacter. [KATE] Ain't it wonderful, honey, what a man'll do for what he trulybelieves in. (Dodo smiles.) --------------------------------------- (Dentist's office) [HOLLIDAY] Now where in thunder did I put that bottle? [WYATT] Right behind you, Doc. [HOLLIDAY] Well that ain't friendly, Wyatt. That ain't friendly at all. [WYATT] Maybe not. I can't say as how I feel particular well disposedtowards you right now. [HOLLIDAY] You're gettin' clumsy. Do you mind if I turn this lamp up alittle? Make sure you haven't got a whole posse with you? Well now,what do you want? [WYATT] Only thing I want from you Doc is to get outta town. [HOLLIDAY] Now where did I put that whiskey? Why the hell should I getoutta town? I ain't done nothing agin' the law. [WYATT] Not yet, you ain't. But when the Clantons finally wise up, why,there's gonna be shootin', Doc. And, I can't keep that old guy lockedup in jail forever, you know. [HOLLIDAY] Er, that's my dentist's chair. That's dangerous, Wyatt. Howlong can you keep him then? [WYATT] Well, I'll release him as soon as I've told 'em the truth aboutyou. Tomorrow morning. Now, you can ride out tonight and get yerself ahead-start. [HOLLIDAY] But I only just hit town. I only just set up this business. [WYATT] Well, it'll be here when you get back. I mean, don't worry. Thisis just till this thing blows over. [HOLLIDAY] Would you mind tellin' me what this is all about? [WYATT] Yeah. Old Pa Clanton and his boys are running the biggestrustling operation this territory's ever seen. Pretty soon they'll betakin' over the whole of Tombstone unless something's done to stop 'em. [HOLLIDAY] Well, why don't you stop 'em then? [WYATT] Well Bat 'n me can't handle it alone. We'll stop 'em soon as mybrothers get here. [HOLLIDAY] Oh, looks like you could use an extra hand. [WYATT] Well, later maybe. But in the meantime Doc, just ride out. [HOLLIDAY] Wyatt. Have you been drinking my whiskey? [WYATT] Ride out, Doc. [HOLLIDAY] Else you'll be gunnin' for me come sun-up. [[Last Chance Saloon]] nan [IKE] So this is the way we'll play it, Regret. Youtake this gun over to the jailhouse and slip it through the cell windowto Holliday. [BILLY] And he says, 'open the door or I'll shoot.' [STEVEN] Ah-ha. And where do you guys come in? [IKE] Well, we wait outside the jailhouse in case anything goes wrong. [HARPER] Yeah. [PHINEAS] Yeah, so's we can prevent a mis C C Miscarriage of justice. [BILLY] To welcome him back to society. [STEVEN] Oh. Not to gun him down? [IKE] Why would we do a thing like that? You say he ain't Holliday.Okay, he's got nothin' to fear. What do ya say? [STEVEN] It sounds like a pretty foolproof idea. [HARPER] Well, it sure is because you know come mornin' they're gonnaship him outta there. [IKE] Yeah, up to the County jail. [STEVEN] And what happens after I give him this? [PHINEAS] You come back here, and then we take over. [HARPER] We take over. [IKE] Yeah. [STEVEN] Yeah, I got the picture. Okay, I'll see ya in twenty minutes. [IKE] Okay, right. [HARPER] There's one born every minute! [IKE] Hold it boys. I don't think he believed us. Phin', you follow himand make certain him and his friend Holiday don't run away. [PHINEAS] Okay. [IKE] And Billy, you get the rope. [BILLY] Yeah. --------------------------------------- (Dodo's room) [BALLAD] With rings on their fingers [DODO] You really going to marry him? [KATE] Surely am. Though over how many dead bodies I don't rightly know. [DODO] But he's an outlaw. [KATE] Aw honey, I've known them all in my time. Jesse James, Billy thekid, Johnny Ringo. And I'm tellin' you the Doc's the best of the bunch.He's a real gentleman. Just been a mite unlucky, is all. [DODO] In what way? [KATE] Oh, was on the run, leastways till he met up with Wyatt Earp.Since then he's usually managed to keep right side of the law. That'swhy for the first time I guess he's gonna settle down. [HOLLIDAY] Kate, seems you and I have to leave town before mornin', sogo get packed. [KATE] Oh, but Doc, why? [HOLLIDAY] Wyatt Earp is gunnin' for me, and you know that in my wholelife I never killed a friend. [KATE] Ah, you're a real gentleman. [HOLLIDAY] Go get packed. [KATE] Didn't I tell ya, honey? --------------------------------------- (Sheriff's office) [BALLAD] You've a good chance of dying, [STEVEN] Doctor! [DOCTOR] Hmm? [STEVEN] Doctor! [DOCTOR] Oh, Steven, my boy. Good gracious. I've been so worried aboutyou. How's Dodo? [STEVEN] She's fine. She's locked in her hotel room quite safe. Look,I've brought you this. [DOCTOR] What on Earth for? [STEVEN] Use it to bluff your way out. The Clanton gang still think thatyou're Doc Holliday. I'll be waiting for you outside. We must get backto the Tardis. [DOCTOR] Yes, but my dear boy, I [STEVEN] Look, there's not time to argue, Doctor. We've only got tenminutes. Now good luck. [DOCTOR] But Steven! Oh, confound the boy. [DOCTOR] Ten minutes. [DOCTOR] Ten minutes. Mister Werp? Oh, er, Mister Werp. I say, can youdo that? [WYATT] Nope. And I wouldn't try it if I were you. [DOCTOR] I have no intention of trying anything, only people keep givingme guns and do I wish they wouldn't. I wonder, would you mind lookingafter it for me? [WYATT] My pleasure. And, er, who gave it to you? [DOCTOR] Oh er, that young friend of mine, you know, Steven. A ratherimpetuous sort of lad. He said to meet him outside in ten minutes time. [WYATT] Oh did he? Well I must go and have a word with him. [DOCTOR] Oh yes I wish you would. And would you kindly explain to himthat I'm quite happy where I am for the moment? --------------------------------------- (Last Chance Saloon) [IKE] And I say Holliday's the meanest man that's ever polluted the fairname of the West! [GANG] Yeah! [IKE] And while he's around there's gonna be nothing but trouble an'bloodshed! [GANG] Yeah! [IKE] And the law, the law says maybe he'll do a spell in jail. Well,are we going to let Wyatt Earp get away with that? [GANG] No! [IKE] Then I say let's go over to the jailhouse, get him out and stringhim up from the nearest tree! [GANG] Yeah! [IKE] Did he do what we said, Phin? [PHINEAS] Yeah. Mister Regret didn't seem too keen on seein' us again.Caught him goin' away from the Saloon. [IKE] That was mighty unwise of you, Mister. Okay boys, rope him! [STEVEN] Come on, now, what's the idea? [IKE] Our idea is, friend, that if Holliday don't bust out of jail wegot us a hostage. He's gotta get out to stop you swingin' in his place.Come on. Let's go! (The Clantons drag Steven into the street. SethHarper remains behind, swigging cheerfully from the neck of a bottle.) --------------------------------------- (Dodo's room) [KATE] Okay Doc, I'm ready. Let's get going. [DODO] What about me? [HOLLIDAY] Don't you worry, honey, I'll be returning you to your friendsin the jailhouse before we leave. [KATE] Hey Doc, take a look out here. [HOLLIDAY] Yeah? [DODO] They've got Steven! [HOLLIDAY] They got my operating chair! Wait here! [KATE] Hey, Doc, come back here! --------------------------------------- (Last Chance Saloon) [KATE] Doc, you can't do nothin' now. Doc! [HARPER] Just hold on there, friend. [HARPER] Hey, are you Doc Holliday? [HOLLIDAY] That is my name. [KATE] Now you've done it. [HOLLIDAY] And aim to continue. [CHARLIE] If you're Doc Holliday, I wouldn't go out there. The wholetown's out to lynch you. [HOLLIDAY] Yeah, I reckon he's right. Er, we'd better get outta town.You saddle a couple of horses, Kate. No, make it three. [DODO] Three? [HOLLIDAY] You'll have to come with us, Missy. [DODO] But what about my friends? [HOLLIDAY] They're safe with Wyatt. I can't take on the whole town on myown. [DODO] But you promised to take me back to them. [HOLLIDAY] Our only hope is to get outta here alive. Now will you geton! [DODO] Ow! --------------------------------------- (Sheriff's office) [MASTERSON] Better come over here Wyatt. When was you gonna break outtajail? [DOCTOR] About now, Marshall. [WYATT] Well, lookie here, friend. Somebody's fixin' up a reception forya. [DOCTOR] What? [DOCTOR] Good gracious! And Steven's with them! [PHINEAS] String 'im up! [IKE] Holliday, you still in there? [WYATT] Get out of the street, Clanton. Holliday's my prisoner. [IKE] Well that's too bad, 'cause if he's ain't out of there in twominutes his friend Regret here is gonna swing in his place. [GANG] Yeah! [BALLAD] You've a good chance of swingin', --------------------------------------- (Sheriff's office) [IKE] Holliday, you still in there? [WYATT] Send your men home, Clanton. Holliday's my prisoner. [IKE] Only as long as he wants to be, I reckon. What do you say, Doc?You gonna let your partner die for something you done? [STEVEN] Look, stay where you are, Doctor. They're bluffing. [PHINEAS] If you believe that, boy, you're gonna be powerful surprisedin a few minutes! [DOCTOR] I really think I must go out there. [WYATT] Appreciate yer feelings, Doc, but I can't let ya. [DOCTOR] But I might be able to convince them that I'm not Doc Holliday!I can't just sit here and allow them to hang Steven! [WYATT] Keep 'em talkin' Bat. I'm gonna try and work round behind 'em. [MASTERSON] Right. [DOCTOR] But what can I do? [WYATT] You can stay out of sight. Lay 'im out, Bat, if he triesanythin'. [DOCTOR] Oh, this is insufferable. [MASTERSON] Hey, you heard what Wyatt said. Now just shut up and bequiet. [DOCTOR] Very well, under protest. [IKE] Time's about up, Holliday. You comin' out? [MASTERSON] You're asking for it, Clanton. Time's about run out for youtoo, I reckon. [BILLY] Don't look that way to me. Not from where I'm standing. [MASTERSON] Where you're standing, boy, is right in line of fire of myshotgun. I'd keep real quite if'n I was you. [BILLY] Why, you [MASTERSON] Go on, draw, Billy. I'd like that fine. [IKE] Hold it, Billy. Play it like we planned. Holliday! Ain't you evengoing to come out and tell your old friend goodbye? [DOCTOR] Oh, dear, dear. What on Earth is Mister Werp doing? He'sleaving things too late! [MASTERSON] Never been known to do that, Mister. [DOCTOR] He's no right to take chances with Steven's life! Those menmean what they say. [MASTERSON] If they didn't do you think Wyatt'd be risking his neck outthere? [DOCTOR] He's not risking his neck. Now I really must go out there. [MASTERSON] Yeah, well, I know how you feel friend, but if you don' quithoppin' about like a jackrabbit I'm gonna have to lay you out so coldyou'll freeze! [DOCTOR] Oh, poo. --------------------------------------- (Main Street) [IKE] Okay, men. String him up. [PHINEAS] Reckon if you was going to have a chance I suggest you chooseyour friends better in future. [MASTERSON] First one that moves gets it. You gonna be first, Billy? [BILLY] You're wearing a badge, Marshall. If'n you weren't --------------------------------------- (Sheriff's office) [MASTERSON] Yeah, and if you didn't happen to becaught in the crossfire, Billy.

[CHARLIE] Mister Clanton, that ain't Doc Holliday that's being held inthere. [WYATT] I said stay outta this, Charlie. [CHARLIE] It's like the old guy kept tryin' to tell ya. I'm sorry,Mister Earp, but I figure'd to save you all a deal a trouble. [IKE] What makes you think it ain't him? [CHARLIE] Well on account of Doc Holliday just bein' in the bar. [BILLY] What? You're drunk! [WYATT] Boy, that's all we needed. [CHARLIE] If'n I'm drunk, your friend Seth Harper's still alive. Whichhe ain't. [IKE] What's that you say? [CHARLIE] Holliday shot 'im clean as a whistle. Fastest thing I eversaw. [BILLY] If'n you're lyin', Charlie, so help me God. [CHARLIE] Why should I lie, Mister Clanton? I just want to stop you boysgettin' up against the law over nothin'. [BILLY] You knew that old guy in there weren't Holliday! [IKE] This just about does it, Earp. [WYATT] Try callin' me Marshall, and rememberin' it too. [IKE] Well, Marshall, you got an answer? [WYATT] I don't need to answer to you, I'll answer to the committee ifneed be. Now get back to the ranch while you can still ride. [BILLY] I don't take no orders from you. [IKE] Leave it, Billy. Earp won't be givin' any orders when Pa getsthrough with him. He'll lose that star so fast it'll burn a hole in hiscoat. Come on, Billy. [BILLY] We'll be seein' ya, Earp. [WYATT] My pleasure. [WYATT] Boy, you maybe don't realise just how close that was. Well, forwhat we did not receive, may the good Lord make us truly thankful. [STEVEN] Amen.

[BALLAD] So pick him up gentle --------------------------------------- (Sheriff's office) [WYATT] Well I reckon he'll live but he ain't gonna enjoy it for awhile. [DOCTOR] Was it necessary for Mister Werp to hit him so hard? [STEVEN] Now then, Doctor, it wasn't your neck in the noose just now. Ifor one am very grateful to Mister Werp, Earp. [WYATT] Oh, my pleasure, boy. [DOCTOR] We shan't be here to see the outcome. Tomorrow we're leaving.Goodbye Mister Werp. [WYATT] Oh, er, goodbye Doc.

Thinkthey're gonna run him out office on account of what you tell 'em? Comeon. [BILLY] We'll get Holliday, Pa. All we need is time. [PA] All you need is guts, boy.

[CHARLIE] Oh, pardon me, but, er, are you alludin' to your friend MissDodo Dupont? [DOCTOR] Of course, of course. [CHARLIE] Well I'm sorry folks, but she ain't in her room no more. [DOCTOR] Why, whatever for? [CHARLIE] Well, on account she checked out a while back. [STEVEN] Checked out, but [CHARLIE] She lit out after the killin' with Doc Holliday. Was with himwhen he shot Seth Harper right where you're standin'. [STEVEN] What, she was with Holliday? [CHARLIE] Surely was. Him, her 'n Kate lit out together, friendly as youplease. [STEVEN] Look, surely she left a message of some sort? [CHARLIE] Now Mister, if'n you're involved in a killin', you don't leaveno messages. You git. [STEVEN] Well, we've got to find her, fast. [CHARLIE] Well, friend, you wanna find her, you find Doc Holliday. [DOCTOR] Now don't be ridiculous. Doc Holliday's a great friend of mine.He gave me a gun, he extracted my tooth. Good gracious me, what more doyou want? Come along, boy. Come along, come along. [STEVEN] Doctor, he's a gunman. [CHARLIE] His next extraction's gonna be a bullet. [BALLAD] It's your last chance of boozing [HOLLIDAY] I reckon this'll do us for the night, Kate. There's a barright across the street 'n a gamblin' saloon real close. [KATE] Doc, we're ain't enough out of Tombstone. We could have riddenthirty, forty miles by mornin'. [HOLLIDAY] There ain't no sense in riding too far when we may have to goback again real soon. Come on, Kate. [KATE] Ah, but Doc. [HOLLIDAY] Come on with you! --------------------------------------- (Wagon Hotel) [KATE] Back to Tombstone, Doc? You wanna get yourself killed, is thatit?

[HOLLIDAY] Hey, he'll be wantin' me back again soon as the real troublestarts. [KATE] Real trouble? [HOLLIDAY] Now look, Kate, there's only him and Masterson to handlethings if old man Clanton decides to throw anything against 'em, and Igotta get back. [DODO] I've got to get back too, remember. [HOLLIDAY] Sure, I promised the little lady that I'd see her back homewith her friends. Now, Kate, you know that a gentleman has to takeaccount of these things. Right now I'm going to rustle up some food forus all. [KATE] Huh, him and his promises. [DODO] Nice to find someone who keeps their word. [KATE] It's all he ever kept in his life, honey. Lost everythin' else heever had. [KATE] Not again! [HOLLIDAY] It's all right, ladies, it's all right. I just ran into anold friend and he er, he kinda lost his appetite. --------------------------------------- (Last Chance Saloon) [BALLAD] It's your last chance of earning [CHARLIE] Sorry, stranger, the bar is closed.

[CHARLIE] Two of the Clantons. Ike and Billy it was. [RINGO] And what was they askin'? [CHARLIE] Well they said to try and git word to you as their Pa wouldpay you five hundred if you'll throw in wi' them agin' Wyatt Earp. [RINGO] I've got business of my own to settle first. Personal businesswith Doc Holliday. [CHARLIE] Why now, Mister Ringo, excuse me and it ain't strictly none ofmy business, but I reckon that'll suit them just fine. Cause they'rea-laying for Holliday too! [RINGO] Is that so. Then here's something else you can tell 'em.Holliday is mine. I trailed him clear away from Fort Griffin,understand? [CHARLIE] Yeah, sure, Mister Ringo. [RINGO] Oh, give it here. I'll do the pouring. You sure got the shakesreal bad. [CHARLIE] It's er, it's on the house, sir. [RINGO] I never figured different. [CHARLIE] I can't wait to see Wyatt Earp's face when he hears you'regoing against him. [RINGO] Plannin' on tellin' him? [CHARLIE] Why no, Mister Ringo. I was only sayin' [RINGO] Charlie, Charlie, Charlie. You say too much, uh? [(Ringo makes for the stairs then turns back.) CHARLIE] I won't saynothin' to nobody. [RINGO] Now ain't that just the truth. Hey, Charlie? [RINGO] Goodnight, Charlie. [BALLAD] So it's curtains for Charlie, --------------------------------------- (Wagon Hotel) [DODO] You ready to leave? [HOLLIDAY] I'm ready to jump like a mountain hare, you come bursting inhere like that, Missy. [DODO] You said that you were taking me back to my friends today. [HOLLIDAY] Yeah, today. Or the day after. [DODO] You promised! [HOLLIDAY] I promised to take you back safe home and I will do so in myown good time. [DODO] We're leaving now. [HOLLIDAY] What're you attempting to do with that there offensiveweapon? [DODO] Shoot you if I have to. [HOLLIDAY] Now how'd you reckon to get back to Tombstone without me? [DODO] I shall try not to kill you. I shall aim for your arm. [HOLLIDAY] That's real thoughtful. Just at the moment you're aimingright between my eyes. [DODO] Oh, I'm sorry. Is that better? [HOLLIDAY] It's an improvement. [DODO] Right, now take me back to Tombstone. [HOLLIDAY] Well, seems like I ain't got no alternative. [DODO] No, Doctor Holliday, I don't believe you have. [HOLLIDAY] Then I promise on my oath as a gentleman of Georgia that Iwill take you back to Tombstone by nightfall. [DODO] Oh, thank goodness for that. [DODO] Would you mind getting me a glass of water? [HOLLIDAY] Yeah, sure. [DODO] I feel rather faint. [KATE] Now what in Hades goes on here? [HOLLIDAY] The young lady and I have to go right back to Tombstone rightaway. [KATE] Oh, and what about me? [HOLLIDAY] You stay here and I'll come back and get you. [KATE] See here, Doc Holliday, you ain't plannin' on runnin' out? [HOLLIDAY] Now Kate, for the first time in my life I have just beentaken, beaten to the draw. [DODO] Oh, I honestly didn't want to have to shoot you. [HOLLIDAY] And I didn't want to have to shoot you neither. --------------------------------------- (Last Chance Saloon) [BALLAD] He knew Johnny's name [DOCTOR] Well, as soon as we've had breakfast, my boy, I must check upwith Mister Werp and ask him if he knows where they've all gone. [STEVEN] Hmm, right. [STEVEN] Doctor, look! [RINGO] High livin' and hard liquor. It don't pay. [STEVEN] Yeah, but he's been shot. [RINGO] Is that so? [RINGO] Here's something towards your funeral, friend. [DOCTOR] Er, yes, er, excuse me, sir, but I think under thecircumstances you'd better remain here until Mister Werp arrives. [RINGO] Are you aimin' to make me? [DOCTOR] Ah no, no. [RINGO] The only man in the territory low enough to kill an unarmedbarman is Doc Holliday. [STEVEN] Hey wait a minute. You know Holliday? [RINGO] And what's that to you? [DOCTOR] Well, we must find him. [RINGO] Why is that? [DOCTOR] You see, a young lady of our acquaintance is with him. [RINGO] And what are you going to do when you find him? [STEVEN] I, er, well we'll take her away from 'im and bring her backhere of course. [RINGO] Plannin' on gunnin' him down, eh? [DOCTOR] Oh certainly not, sir, certainly not. I mean, we're just goingto er, well, er, reason with him. [RINGO] Now that I'd really like to see. [DOCTOR] Do you know who that is? [STEVEN] Who? [DOCTOR] That's Johnny Ringo. [STEVEN] Who, that? [DOCTOR] Yes. [RINGO] Say, boy. [STEVEN] Yeah? [RINGO] Seein' as you 'n me's got common cause gettin' Doc Holliday,supposin' I was to let you ride with me? [STEVEN] Well, you know where he is? [RINGO] Reckon I do. [DOCTOR] Well, we'd be mighty grateful. [RINGO] I'm sure you would, Pop. There's just one thing. If you getbetween me and him, boy, don't go looking to me to hold my fire. I'dblast you down as soon as spit at ya! [STEVEN] Thanks. [DOCTOR] Disgusting habit. --------------------------------------- (Sheriff's office) [WYATT] So brother Morgan can't make it, uh? [WARREN] T'ain't for me to tell ya. Got himself mixed up in a range war,Abaloneway. [MASTERSON] Any word from Virgil? [WYATT] No. Could be anywhere between here and Montana. [WARREN] One way and another seems lucky you've got me around, andMorgan's been teachin' me how ta handle a gun. [WYATT] Oh, not at your age, my lad, and not against these dirtyClantons. [PHINEAS] How long're you all figurin' on keepin' me here? [MASTERSON] Just as long as it takes till the Judge hits town. [PHINEAS] Well when the Judge hears about you protectin' Doc Hollidayjust you see what happens! [DOCTOR] Did I hear the name Doc Holliday mentioned? [PHINEAS] Ya sure did. [DOCTOR] Yes, well I've got news of him. [WYATT] Well I thought you'd left town. [DOCTOR] Oh, Dodo you see. I mean, er, Miss Dupont has gone off withhim, and young Steven is following up and I've got to wait. [WYATT] You mean Regret has gone after Holliday alone? [DOCTOR] No, no, my dear Marshall, no. He's gone with a young man by thename of Ringo. [WYATT] Ringo? [MASTERSON] Ringo! [DOCTOR] Yes, yes. You've got a photograph of him here, look. [WYATT] That's all we needed. Boy, the hosts of Midian are sure on theprowl tonight. [DOCTOR] Why, is he a friend of the Clanton's? [MASTERSON] Ringo is a friend of nobody. Professional gunfighter, sellshisself to the highest bidder. [WYATT] Yeah, and I reckon I know who that'll be. [PHINEAS] Better let me outta here while there's still time, Earp. [WYATT] Oh shut up. [DOCTOR] Yes. There's one more thing. I have to report a murder. [WYATT] Yeah? [DOCTOR] Yes, the barman at the Last Chance. I believe his name isCharlie, isn't it? [WYATT] Charlie? [MASTERSON] Who in thunder'd wanna kill Charlie? [WYATT] Ho, that Ringo sure works fast. Well, Warren my lad, guess I'mgonna have to leave you in charge after all, huh? C'mon Bat, lets getout to that Last Chance Saloon. [DOCTOR] Are you going to be all right? (Warren smiles then looksthrough the bars at Phineas, and chuckles.) --------------------------------------- (Richmond Main Street) [STEVEN] Look, what makes you think we're gonna find him in this town? [RINGO] On account it's the only one since Tombstone. Doc'll be thirsty. [STEVEN] Well, how're we gonna find 'im? [RINGO] Well I'll take this side, you take the other. [STEVEN] Yeah. [RINGO] Try at the saloon, huh? [STEVEN] Hey, wait! How'm I gonna know 'im? [RINGO] You'll know 'im, boy. You'll know 'im. [STEVEN] Yeah, right. I'll er, see you back here. [RINGO] Yep. [BALLAD] Johnny Ringo has found her. [RINGO] Good evening, Kate. Well, ain't you glad to see me. [KATE] Johnny! [RINGO] Well ain't you? [KATE] Well, just kinda surprised, that's all. [RINGO] Yeah, I'll bet. I heard you was gonna be hitched to Doc Hollidayso I just came to congratulate you, you and the bridegroom both. [KATE] Oh, he ain't no bridegroom o'mine, Johnny. [RINGO] That ain't what I heard. [KATE] Oh, but it's true. He ran out on me soon as we left Tombstone. [RINGO] Now why would he do a fool thing like that, pretty girl likeyou, huh? [KATE] Oh I, er, I guess he found him a prettier one, Johnny. [RINGO] Regret's girl? [KATE] Yeah. [RINGO] So where's he takin' her? [KATE] They was headed for New Mexico. [RINGO] New Mexico. [KATE] Now, Johnny, would I lie to you? [RINGO] Well, I guess he'll just have to wait 'til I finish this job inTombstone. [KATE] What job? [RINGO] You'll find out when we get there. [KATE] When we get there? [RINGO] Kate, I've followed you for nigh on two years figurin' out whatI should do to you when I caught up. Holliday was gonna be first, but'ccording to you he's in New Mexico. But you're right here. (he pullshis gun) You're coming back to me, Kate. [KATE] Oh, well, thank ya kindly, Johnny, but just supposin' I don'twish ta come back? [RINGO] You'd better, that's all. I could mebbe change my mind. [KATE] Oh, now, now. [RINGO] Don't push your luck, Kate, just go git your things while I tellRegret that there's been a change of plan. Git! --------------------------------------- (Sheriff's office) [PHINEAS] Kinda young for responsibility, ain't you, boy? [WARREN] Talkin' to me? [PHINEAS] Can't think who else. [WARREN] You're wastin' your time, Clanton. Save it for the Judge. [PHINEAS] So you're Wyatt Earp's kid brother? How come he's lettin' youdo all the work around here? Now I got brothers, only they wouldn'tleave me to face things all on my lonesome, no, sir. [WARREN] Seems to me, Clanton, that's exactly what they are doin'. [PHINEAS] I wouldn't say so, boy. Take a look behind you. [WARREN] I got no time to play games, Clanton. Why don't you just shutup. [PHINEAS] Okay, but if'n I was you I'd take a look behind me just thesame. [BILLY] Don't try it, friend. [IKE] Where's the head man around here? [PHINEAS] Why, this is him, Ike. Don't you recognise one of the fightin'Earps when you see one? [IKE] They get greener every year. [PHINEAS] Don't kid around Ike. Masters'll be back soon. Get me outtahere. [BILLY] Where're the keys, Earp? [WARREN] Over, over on the desk. [BILLY] Go get 'em, and fast. [BILLY] Yeehoo! [PHINEAS] Now that fixed it. They'll all be back here. Get me outtahere. [IKE] Get the keys, Billy. Make it fast. Come on, let's go, let's go. [BILLY] That's just what I was needing. [IKE] Come on. [BALLAD] It's curtains for Warren, --------------------------------------- (Last Chance Saloon) [BALLAD] He knew Johnny's name [DOCTOR] How do you know that the killer was Ringo? [MASTERSON] On account of it must have been him or you, and I don'tfigure you killed Charlie the barman. Of course if'n you wanna persuademe different? [DOCTOR] Certainly not, my dear Sheriff. [WYATT] Now on the other hand, Bat, although the Clantons know he's notDoc Holliday, they did see him shoot a gun out of Seth Harper's hand. [DOCTOR] That was nothing to do with me. [WYATT] Oh, but they think it was, and boy you had 'em lined up againstthat piana' like skittles in an alley. Why, you're gonna be a usefulman to have around when the shootin' starts. [DOCTOR] I certainly hope that I should not be here. When Steven andDodo come back [WYATT] Oh you're gonna be here alright, Doctor, because I'm deputisingya right now. [DOCTOR] Well. this is utterly absurd. Nothing will ever induce me toraise a gun in anger. [WYATT] Well, maybe you won't have to. But I mean with just Bat an' mean' Warren against the Clantons, you could sure shorten the odds some. [VIRGIL] And I'll help shorten them some more. [WYATT] Well, hallelujah! This is my brother Virgil. [VIRGIL] You got a drink for a thirsty man? [WYATT] Well, I'd just about given up on you. [VIRGIL] Hiya Bat. [MASTERSON] How'd you do there. [WYATT] Oh, I'm afraid that the bar's closed, Virgil. [VIRGIL] Say, how'd that happen? [WYATT] Oh, got himself shot. You don't know Pop, do ya? [VIRGIL] Howdy. [DOCTOR] Howdy. Would you mind not calling me Pop? [WYATT] Well, let's get on back to the office. Come on, Bat. Warren'sover there waiting for us but Morgan can't make it. I'll tell you aboutit on the way over. --------------------------------------- (Clanton ranch) [IKE] Bill, now we got 'im. [BILLY] We got 'im Pa, we got 'im! [PA] Seen ya coming. Took you long enough. [BILLY] And we got us an Earp. [RINGO] You done what? [IKE] So you finally got here now the work's been done! [RINGO] Ain't talkin' to you, Ike. Talking to Billy. Maybe get around toyou later. [BILLY] Like I said, we shot down one of the Earp brothers. [RINGO] You shot Wyatt Earp? [PHINEAS] No his kid [IKE] Brother. [PHINEAS] Warren. [BILLY] Earp! [PA] Well, glory be! Now you really have declared war. --------------------------------------- (Sheriff's office) [BALLAD] It's curtains for Warren, [WARREN] There was two of 'em, Wyatt. [WYATT] Who? Who was it, boy? [WARREN] Clantons, I guess. Come in real fast. Shouldn't have let Phinrile me. I turned my back a minute. [WYATT] Oh, no one's a-blamin' you, son. Rest easy. [WARREN] Don't let Morgan know they got my gun. [VIRGIL] He's gone Wyatt. [WYATT] Get him on over to the bench there. [VIRGIL] Wyatt, it's no use. [WYATT] Do like I said. [MASTERSON] I'll get a warrant for 'em, Wyatt. I'll get 'em, you knowthat. [WYATT] You'll get 'em? Virgil! [VIRGIL] Yes, Wyatt? [WYATT] Ride on out to the Clantons and tell 'em we'll be waitin' for'em come sun up. [MASTERSON] Now listen, Wyatt. There's a right and a wrong way of doingthis. [WYATT] Stay out of this, Bat. [MASTERSON] This ain't legal, Wyatt. If'n you uphold the law you don'tgo startin' a private feud. [WYATT] You gonna try 'n to stop me? [MASTERSON] No, Wyatt, but I can't go along with ya. The law says thatno [WYATT] The law? The law can't bring my kid brother back. Virgil andme's gonna step outside of the law. [VIRGIL] I reckon so, and I'll tell 'em. Where will I say? [WYATT] Tell 'em the OK Corral. [BALLAD] So the Earps and the Clantons [BALLAD] It's the OK Corral --------------------------------------- (Clanton ranch) [PHINEAS] Pass the coffee. [IKE] Ow! Pa! [STEVEN] Look, I'm going to try to slip away, get word to Holliday. [KATE] Oh, if the Doc knew I was here he'd blast my head off. Thanks. [STEVEN] I'm sure he'd understand you were only trying to get Ringo offhis trail. [KATE] Ain't the way the Doc'd see it. 'Sides, you'd get shot in theback before you gone ten yards. [STEVEN] Oh, I dunno why they want to keep me here. I'm no use to them. [KATE] On account Ringo don't want Wyatt Earp to know he's here tillhe's good and ready. [PA] Now cut it out. We got trouble enough seein' Wyatt Earp already. [PHINEAS] Oh, it ain't Wyatt. [IKE] Ain't no one I seen afore. [RINGO] I've seen 'im. Old acquaintance of mine, Marshall of Dodge City.Name of Virgil Earp. [VIRGIL [OC]] Clanton! [PA] I hear ya. [VIRGIL [OC]] Got as message for ya. [PA] Well, come on up. Ringo, you'd better get up on them stairs. Wedon't wanna show our ace before we're ready to deal. [RINGO] Okay. If you want me, you'd better shout real loud. [PA] Line up on the door, boys. [PA] Long way from Dodge City, ain't ya Marshall? [VIRGIL] Reckon you know why I'm here. Your boys killed my kid brother,Clanton. [PA] Well now there's two sides to every [VIRGIL] Ain't here to argue. Just to say that Wyatt 'n me'll meet 'emat the OK Corral at sun up. [IKE] And have a posse waitin'? You're crazy. [VIRGIL] Masterson's got no part in this, neither has the law. Just alittle private business to settle between our two families. [PHINEAS] And supposin' we don't go? [VIRGIL] Then we'll come a-lookin'. [VIRGIL] Your friend there, whose side's he on? [STEVEN] Oh, I'm with you and Wyatt. [VIRGIL] D'you wanna to ride out with me? [STEVEN] Yeah, I'd like to. Somehow I don't think it's gonna bepossible. [PA] Regret stays here. Now get. [IKE] And tell Earp we'll be there. [VIRGIL] I'll tell him. Sleep easy. [PHINEAS] Well, it sure looks like a bad year for Earps. [PA] Ya hear that, Ringo? [RINGO] I heard. [IKE] Well, it looks like we got 'em. Two to four. [RINGO] You mean I got 'em two to one. [PHINEAS] How'd you figure that out? We'd be there too. [RINGO] Sure you'd be there waitin' for 'em. Kinda like cheese in amousetrap. [BILLY] Now look [RINGO] Ah shut up, Billy. You ain't got a hope in hell agin them two,only you ain't old enough to know it. [IKE] So what do we do?! [RINGO] Let me earn my money, why don't you? I'll take 'em from behindwhile you face 'em. [BILLY] Never figured you for a back-shooter, Ringo. [RINGO] I never figured you for any kind of a shooter Billy, which iswhy we'll do it my way, okay? Real careful. --------------------------------------- (Sheriff's office) [DOCTOR] Now Mister Werp, what part am I supposed to be playing in thisfeud between you and the Clantons? I thought that you gave me this touphold the law, not [MASTERSON] He's right, Wyatt. You can't ask him. [DOCTOR] My main concern is for the safety of Steven and Dodo. Now can'tI ask you to change your mind? [MASTERSON] T'ain't no use, old timer. He won't listen to me, he won'tlisten to nobody. [WYATT] You seen 'em? [VIRGIL] I seen 'em. [WYATT] Gonna be there? [VIRGIL] Oh they'll be there. Only thing is [WYATT] Well? [VIRGIL] Fella up there with 'em, name of Steven Regret. [DOCTOR] Steven? What in the world? [VIRGIL] Claimed he weren't no pal of theirs, but [WYATT] Well Doc? [DOCTOR] Well, if he's there it's not a matter of choice. He's stillsearching for Dodo with Ringo. [VIRGIL] Well, I didn't see Johnny Ringo, but I sure enough saw hishorse. And Kate, ain't she his girlfriend? Well she's there too. [WYATT] So Ringo's with the Clantons, huh? Well, looks lie you an' me'sgonna have a busy morning, Virgil. [DOCTOR] Oh, this is sheer madness, Mister Sheriff. You can't take onthe Clantons and Ringo. [HOLLIDAY] They won't have to. [WYATT] Doc! I thought I told you to get outta town. [HOLLIDAY] Well now, Wyatt, so you did, but the fact is I was brung hereat gunpoint by a woman. [VIRGIL] You expectin' us to believe that? [HOLLIDAY] The lady is here, the one and only Miss Dodo Dupont. [HOLLIDAY] Ah, thank you. [DODO] Doctor. Thank goodness you're safe. [DOCTOR] Oh, my dear, I'm not in the slightest bit of danger. It was youthat we were worried about. [HOLLIDAY] Well now, where do we meet these Clantons? [VIRGIL] We? Now see here, Wyatt, I don't take kindly to fightingalongside an outlaw, friend of yours or no. [HOLLIDAY] Suit yourself, Virgil. I'll just wish you good luck and gooff to find my Kate. [VIRGIL] Oh, you'll find her at the Clantons. [HOLLIDAY] What's that you say? [WYATT] Yeah, with Johnny Ringo. [HOLLIDAY] Johnny Ringo? [VIRGIL] I saw them myself, while or two back. [HOLLIDAY] I'll be fightin' beside you two tomorrow mornin' whether youlike it or not. [DOCTOR] But this is ridiculous, gentleman. Can you not uphold the lawwithout using firearms? [WYATT] Well, old friend, now I've got Doc Holliday back, why, you canhand in your badge any time you want to, Pop. [DOCTOR] Oh, good heavens, what a relief. Here you are, Bat, there'syour badge and there is your wretched weapon! [HOLLIDAY] Wyatt, how you proposin' to handle this little Clantonmatter? [WYATT] Well, just walk right up there and face 'em. [HOLLIDAY] You reckon old Pa Clanton will play it that simple? [VIRGIL] Well, they'll reckon they're four to two. [HOLLIDAY] One of them four is Johnny Ringo. I ain't lining up for nosquare dance. I'm gonna play this my way. [WYATT] So what's your way? [DOCTOR] Yes, what is your way, Doctor Holliday? --------------------------------------- (Last Chance Saloon) [DODO] Isn't it time you went to bed, Doctor? [DOCTOR] Oh, how can I possibly sleep my dear, knowing that Steven ismixed up with all this? [DODO] I'm quite sure that Steven can take care of himself. [DOCTOR] Yes, but I'm not just worrying about Steven, my dear. Whatabout this man Mister Werp? Supposing he gets killed? Who is going touphold law and order in this territory? Why they couldn't let Mastersonhandle the affair I don't know, with a posse of deputies, and at theend of it let the Clantons get a fair trial. [MASTERSON] Proud to hear you say so, Doctor. If'n you feel that waythere's something you can do. I've tried all I know to talk Wyatt outof this and he won't listen. I'm asking you to go talk to the Clantons.Seems like that's our only chance. [DOCTOR] Me? But my dear Sheriff, I should have thought you were the oneto convince [MASTERSON] No, no, they know me for a friend of Wyatt's. But if'n yougo to 'em wearing your badge, say you'll guarantee them a fair trial,it might just persuade 'em. Me, I'd rather face trial than Wyatt,Virgil and Holliday together. [DOCTOR] Yes, I see. [DODO] And you might be able to help Steven. [DOCTOR] Yes, quite so, my dear. That thought had passed through myhead, yes. Well, Mister Sheriff, if you need my assistance I certainlywill go along and talk to them. [MASTERSON] Good. [MASTERSON] Now, it's only about two hours to sun-up. You'd better getstarted right now. --------------------------------------- (Clanton ranch) [PA] Boys're on their way. [STEVEN] On their way to murder? [PA] That's a big word, boy. It fits though. [STEVEN] This was meant to be a fair fight. [PA] Think I wanna see my own sons killed? [STEVEN] They may as well be if they win this way. Masterson'll see theyhang for it. [PA] When the shootin's over we'll have this town in the palm of ourhand, including Masterson. [STEVEN] There's still Morgan Earp. [PA] If he's still alive we'll deal with him too. Can't build an empire,boy, without getting a mite unscrupulous. [PA] Come on in. [DOCTOR] Mister Clanton, I presume? [STEVEN] Doctor! [DOCTOR] No, not Doctor at the moment, dear boy. I am Deputy-Sheriff ofTombstone. [PA] Well ain't that somethin'! My cattle been a-roamin' again? [DOCTOR] I've come along to ask you to call off your boys from embarkingon this ridiculous duel. [PA] Yeah. Seems like they was the ones got challenged. [DOCTOR] And if you'll do this I'm sure that Masterson will see thatthey get a fair trial. [PA] Oh, that's real handsome. Only it don't fit in with my plans. [DOCTOR] I see. You would prefer them to be shot down in the street? [PA] Well, they can take their chances. [STEVEN] Oh, they aren't taking any chances, Doctor. Johnny Ringo'sgoing be behind the Earps. [PA] One more yap outta you, Regret, you're dead, boy. [DOCTOR] Ah tut, tut, tut, tut, tut. If you are alluding to the presenceof Mister Ringo, I can assure you, sir, that that also has beenanticipated. They're quite ready for him. [PA] Okay, supposing they are? There's still only two of them againstfour. [DOCTOR] You have been sadly misinformed. Doctor Holliday is there also. [PA] What? Kate, you said Holliday was in New Mexico. [KATE] I blush with shame, Mister Clanton, indeed I do. That was a dadblasted lie. He's right there in Tombstone with the Earps. [PA] Doc Holliday and the Earps? Agin' my boys. --------------------------------------- (Main Street) [BALLAD] So the cards, they are drawn [PHINEAS] We're early. [RINGO] D'you wanna be late for your own funeral? [BILLY] Now you cut that out, Ringo! [IKE] Take it easy, kid. [RINGO] Just remember what I told you. [BILLY] Yeah, I remember. We're the bait in the trap. [RINGO] That's right. Now don't forget. Start firing before they getinto range, and go on firing so's they don't get a chance to lookbehind 'em. Because that's where I'll be, okay? Be seeing you. [BALLAD] So them bad, cruel outlaws --------------------------------------- (Sheriff's office) [WYATT] Well, best be going. [MASTERSON] Wyatt, are you sure I can't stop ya? [WYATT] Nope. [MASTERSON] Okay. So, good luck. [WYATT] Ready, Doc? [HOLLIDAY] Oh, ready as I will be. Why these here get-togethers have tobe held at sun-up I never will know. It ain't civilised. [WYATT] Now just where're you gonna make your play from, Doc? [HOLLIDAY] Well, it's like I said, Wyatt. I'll be strollin' along realeasy behind you on the shady side of the street. Okay? [WYATT] Okay. --------------------------------------- (OK Corral) [BALLAD] It's the OK Corral [IKE] Here they come, boys. [IKE] Now! [IKE] Scatter! [WYATT] Take the side. [DODO] Doc, look out! [RINGO] Well, if it ain't Doc Holliday. Who invited you, Doc? [HOLLIDAY] You did, Ringo. It seemed kinda seemly to show up. [RINGO] Throw down your gun, or the girl gets it. [HOLLIDAY] I'm sorry Johnny. [HOLLIDAY] I thought you'd do better than that, Mister Ringo. [RINGO] I will, next time. [HOLLIDAY] Ah now Missy, you sure do perplex me. Go on now, you get thehell outta here. [DODO] I'm sorry, Doc. I was only trying to help. [HOLLIDAY] You try to help me any more, you'll be the death of me. Goon! [HOLLIDAY] Ringo was here. [WYATT] And? [HOLLIDAY] He ain't no more. [BILLY] Phin! I'm gonna get Doc Holliday! [BALLAD] They paid their sins --------------------------------------- (Livery stable) [DOCTOR] Why on Earth you want to leave Tombstone, I can't imagine. Allthe Clantons are dead. Ringo is dead. [HOLLIDAY] Masterson ain't. [STEVEN] Yes, but surely Wyatt Earp [HOLLIDAY] Wyatt Earp is no longer a lawman. Besides, he has killed twoClantons. [DODO] Even so, he'd never let a friend down. [HOLLIDAY] Neither would Masterson. [KATE] Show 'em, Doc. [HOLLIDAY] Ain't nothin' Masterson wouldn't do to oblige a friend. [KATE] Ain't it always the same? [HOLLIDAY] Always the same. [DOCTOR] It's a very good likeness. [HOLLIDAY] It's yours. [DOCTOR] Thank you. [HOLLIDAY] Goodbye to you all. Come along, Kate. [DOCTOR] It's a terrible, terrible injustice. You know I'm very temptedto [DODO] Listen! [BALLAD] So fill up your glasses [DOCTOR] Oh, my dear Dodo, my dear Dodo. You know you're fast becoming aprey to everycliché-ridden convention in the American West. And it's high time weleft. Now, come along. [STEVEN] Thank goodness for that. [DOCTOR] Come along now. [DODO] Oh, but Doctor. [DOCTOR] I don't want to discuss it any further. In you go. Come along! --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] Yes, I think I can say that I know just exactly where we are. [DODO] Past, present or future? [DOCTOR] In the future. Very much in the future. We've now reached thedistant horizon of an age, an age of peace and prosperity. Now, I'mgoing to be off.

Doctor Who (28 May, 1966; First Doctor) - The Savages (Tardis) [DOCTOR] Yes, I think I can say that I know just exactly where we are. [DODO] Past, present or future? [DOCTOR] In the future. Very much in the future. We've now reached thedistant horizon of an age, an age of peace and prosperity. Now, I'mgoing to be off. --------------------------------------- (outside the Tardis) [STEVEN] He said five minutes. [DODO] The Doctor has no idea of time. For someone who's travelled aboutin time as much as he has, that's rather funny. [STEVEN] This is nothing to laugh at, Dodo. [DODO] Oh, don't take it so seriously. If you're so worried about him,you shouldn't have let him go. [STEVEN] All right. You try telling the Doctor what to do. [DODO] Then you should have gone with him. [STEVEN] You heard what he said. [DODO] You don't have to do everything he tells you. You're a grown man.Or are you? --------------------------------------- (Scrubland) [DOCTOR] Yes, it's just as I thought. Yes. Yes, well I think my youngfriends are in for quite a surprise. [STEVEN [OC]] Doctor! Doctor? [DOCTOR] Oh, dear me, what was that now? Well, I shan't be long anyway. [STEVEN [OC]] Doctor? [STEVEN [OC]] Doctor? Doctor! --------------------------------------- (Outside the Tardis) [STEVEN [OC]] He doesn't answer yet, Dodo. I think I'd better go andlook for him. [DODO] All right. [STEVEN [OC]] I won't go far. [STEVEN] Dodo! What's happened? [DODO] Up there. [STEVEN] There's nothing there. [DODO] I saw a man in animal skins and with an axe. [STEVEN] You sure? Well, the Doctor said [DODO] I don't care what he said. I saw him. He was like a savage fromthe Stone Age. [STEVEN] Then the Doctor was wrong. We're not in the future at all. Wemust be back at the beginning of man. --------------------------------------- (Scrubland) [DOCTOR] That ridiculous young man. He thought I'd made a mistake. [TOR] He is coming. What's he carrying? [CHAL] It is not a light gun. [TOR] He is one of the leaders? [CHAL] He is not one of our people. [TOR] He is coming near. We must run. [CHAL] Stay. We kill this man. [DOCTOR] Hello, there. I say, come out from underneath there. Now don'tbe alarmed. Come along now. [TOR] Look. [DOCTOR] Can you hear me? Oh, I say, do come out from underneath there,will you? [DOCTOR] Oh, good gracious me. You know, I thought for one moment youwere hiding behind those bushes. [EDAL] We have come to welcome you. [EXORSE] It is a great honour to have you visit our planet. [DOCTOR] Oh, yes, I see. Well, I am expected. Do you know who I am? [EDAL] Not your name, of course, but our space observers have their ownname for you. [DOCTOR] Oh, and what might that be? [EXORSE] You are known to us as the Traveller from Beyond Time. [DOCTOR] I see. And how would you expect me here and now? [EXORSE] The Elders of our city have been plotting the course of yourspace-time ship for many light years. They estimated your arrival sometime ago. [DOCTOR] I see. Yes, well, that's very clever of them. [EDAL] What is this? We understood from our Elders that you did notcarry weapons. [DOCTOR] Oh yes, they're quite right, yes, I never do. No, this is myRV, you see. This is my Reacting Vibrator. I'm able to do mycalculations from this. As I told my young friends [EDAL] You are not alone? [DOCTOR] Good gracious, no. Did you expect me to be? [EDAL] We have no information about your companions. [DOCTOR] Oh, they're very pleasant. Yes, they're both very pleasantapart from their juvenile exuberances. I'm sure you'll like them. Theymust be at the back here somewhere. I think they're rather worriedbecause I'm a bit late joining them. [EDAL] We had no instructions about them. The Elders must be informed.You must come with us. [DOCTOR] Must? [EXORSE] Captain Edal wishes to take you to the Elders of our City. Theyare waiting to welcome you. [DOCTOR] Oh yes, of course, yes, yes, yes, I shall come with you. In themeantime, young man, I wonder if you'd mind trying to find my youngpeople for me. Steven and Dodo. Tell them the Doctor sent you. [EDAL] Go for them, Exorse. Bring them to the city. This way. --------------------------------------- (Outside the Tardis) [STEVEN] I'll have to go and look for him, Dodo.Something must have happened to him. [DODO] I'll come with you. [DODO] Steven! [STEVEN] What is it? [DODO] There is something up there. [STEVEN] Look, you're imagining things. Come on. [DODO] Told you. [STEVEN] A spear. It's sharp as a knife. You were right, Dodo. There issomeone up there. [DODO] What are we do now? [STEVEN] Back to the Tardis, quick. [DODO] They're getting nearer! [EXORSE] Welcome to the Traveller's companions. You are Dodo and Steven? [STEVEN] How do you know? Who are you? [EXORSE] The Traveller told me I would find you here. [STEVEN] The Traveller? You mean the Doctor? Is he all right? [EXORSE] Perfectly. He has gone to meet the Elders of our City. [DODO] But the savages? [EXORSE] I think you will find that some of us are fairly civilised. [DODO] Then this isn't the Iron Age? [EXORSE] By no means. [STEVEN] The Doctor was right. [EXORSE] Please, come with me to the City. Our Elders wait to honouryour Doctor. They will be very happy also to welcome his friends. --------------------------------------- (Council Chamber) [JANO] You are welcome, welcome indeed. Though we know you only as arecord in our charts of space and time, yet you seem to us like an oldfriend. [DOCTOR] Well, that's very kind of you to make me feel so welcome. [JANO] We are honoured by your visit. The whole city looks upon you withadmiration. Let me introduce myself. I am Jano, leader of the councilof Elders. These are my councillors. We have all known about you for along time. Look, we have charted your voyages from galaxy to galaxy andfrom age to age, but we never thought that we would meet you face toface. This is a great moment in our history. To mark our admiration, wewould be pleased if you would accept the office of one of our highElders. [DOCTOR] Well, my dear sir, that's very good of you. Yes, yes, very goodof you indeed. Yes, I don't remember being so highly honoured beforelike this anywhere I've been. [JANO] We recognise in you the greatest specialist in time-spaceexploration. You have taken this branch of learning far beyond ourelementary calculations. [DOCTOR] Oh, come, come, my dear sir. I know that you've been veryresponsible for vast scientific research. And at the same time, Ialways knew a race existed of great intelligence in this segment of theuniverse. [JANO] Thank you, Doctor. We like to think that we have created heresomething of lasting value. [DOCTOR] You have, you have. Indeed, you have. And if I may so say,thank you dear ladies for making me appear so grand. [EXORSE] The Doctor's two friends, sir. Steven and Dodo. [JANO] You are very welcome. [DOCTOR] Ah, there you are, both of you. Well, I don't think I was sofar wrong, my boy. What do I look like, my dear? [DODO] You're really with it now, Doctor. [DOCTOR] Yes. With what, my dear? [STEVEN] What is this place? [JANO] Did the Doctor not tell you? [DODO] Not exactly. [STEVEN] He said it was an age of peace and prosperity. [DOCTOR] Yes, and I was right. They are very highly developed civilisedminds. [JANO] But our calculations were incomplete. We did not realise that theDoctor would have anyone with him. Nevertheless, although our honoursare for him, our gifts are for you. [DODO] Oh, thank you. It's beautiful. [STEVEN] Look at that, Doctor. [DODO] Steven, these are real diamonds. [JANO] Perhaps Steven and Dodo would like to make themselves at home. [DOCTOR] Oh yes, thank you. [JANO] Our young people will show them round. [DOCTOR] An excellent idea, sir. Well, my boy, now perhaps you'llbelieve me next time I tell you I know precisely where I am. [JANO] Now, Doctor, we have many questions to ask you. --------------------------------------- (Outside the City) [EDAL] We're only the city guard, of course. Theydon't ask our opinion, do they? [EXORSE] What's the matter, Captain? [EDAL] I don't trust them. I never did trust strangers. Why should wetreat this old Doctor as one of ourselves? [EXORSE] The Elders think highly of him. [EDAL] The Elders. All right, we've wasted enough time this morning. Getback on patrol. Take the Crater section. [CHAL] They have begun hunting. [TOR] We must warn our people. [CHAL] Nanina, go back to the caves. Tell the families to hide. [NANINA] But what of you, Chal? [CHAL] We will be safe, we will warn the others. Nanina, take care inthe craters. --------------------------------------- (City Avenue) [FLOWER] We have built into the city a life-giving sun of our own. Isn'tthat right, Avon? [AVON] It is man's intellect which decides the heat and cold in ourcity. [FLOWER] Yes. After all, the Elders do know what's best for us, althoughit would be rather nice to know what real things are like sometimes. [AVON] Real what? [FLOWER] You know. Real wind, real rain, real sunshine. [AVON] Don't be ridiculous. They have given us all this. [DODO] It's beautiful. [AVON] Our artists have every opportunity to develop their talents.Here, everyone has a chance to do what is best for him to do. [STEVEN] It's certainly a wonderful job. But how have you managed it?What's the secret? [FLOWER] Secret? What makes you think we have a secret? [STEVEN] Other civilisations have failed to make this advance. [FLOWER] Well, that doesn't mean [AVON] Be quiet, Flower. Our scientists have made one simple discovery,and due to this they have found the way to give us all greater energy,greater intellect and greater talents. [STEVEN] One simple discovery? [DODO] What was it? [AVON] This is something best discussed by the Elders and your Doctor. --------------------------------------- (Council Chamber) [DOCTOR] Well, gentlemen, I can't just sit here inall these grand clothes without asking a few questions. After all,there's my reputation to think about. [JANO] What do you mean, Doctor? [DOCTOR] Well, if I accept your gifts, I must endorse your life. But Ican't do that without knowing something about you. [JANO] But surely you know a great deal about us. [DOCTOR] Yes, I know very well that you are far advanced than mostplanets. But how you achieve this, I know not. And let's face itgentlemen, you are much advanced. Now, I would like to know how. --------------------------------------- (Outside The City) [TOR] I cannot see her. She must have got away. [CHAL] She has not crossed the ravine yet. She is still hiding. [TOR] Can you see the hunter? [CHAL] He is going into the ravine. [CHAL] He is over there. And Nanina? [TOR] She is there too. [CHAL] Nanina! [CHAL] Nanina! Not that way! [TOR] He has taken her. --------------------------------------- (Council Chamber) [JANO] Life preys on other forms of life, as youknow, Doctor. Wild beasts live on other animals. Mankind must havefood, water, and oxygen. [DOCTOR] Oh, yes, it's quite obvious to the meanest intellect that,well, how can I say, that you've found a much more effective source ofenergy. [JANO] That is true, Doctor. We have learned how to transfer the energyof life directly to ourselves. We can tap it at its source. It is asthough we were able to recharge ourselves with life's vital force. --------------------------------------- (Outside the City) [CHAL] Nanina. Leave her. Leave the girl. Take me in her place! --------------------------------------- (Council Chamber) [JANO] The energy of life which we accumulate we store in vats such asthese. Then, when the Elders decide that some member of the communityneeds new force, we can transfer that energy directly. [DOCTOR] To a member of your community. [JANO] Exactly. We can give ourselves new power. [DOCTOR] Yes. Of course, you need a very high form of life to make thissource effective. [JANO] That is true, Doctor. We absorb only a very special form ofanimal vitality. --------------------------------------- (City Avenue) [FLOWER] Don't think we're always serious. We play games, we dance, wego hunting. Our life's very happy. We do everything we want, goeverywhere we want. [AVON] Do not go that way. [DODO] I thought you said we could go anywhere. [AVON] Well, it leads to the world beyond the City. [DODO] Don't you ever go outside? [FLOWER] We're not allowed to. [AVON] There is no need. [FLOWER] Yes, that's right. Everything we want, we have here in theCity. [STEVEN] What about the men we met outside? [FLOWER] They're the guards. [DODO] What, to keep back the savages? [AVON] The savages? [DODO] The men in animal skins. [AVON] You saw them? [DODO] They threw spears at us. [AVON] Yes, well, the guards are to keep these people away. That is whywe seldom go beyond the City. [FLOWER] Let's forget such a dismal topic. Come, I'll show you thestadium. There's going to be a celebration there tonight especially foryou. [AVON] Dodo! [DODO] I'm coming. Every time I want to see something, they stop me. [STEVEN] Dodo, you're a guest here. Try to behave like one. [DODO] I hate conducted tours. [STEVEN] What were you goggling at anyway? [DODO] I saw one of the guards go past. He had a prisoner. [STEVEN] You must be off your head! You wouldn't have a prisoner in aplace like this. [DODO] He had one of the savages with him. A girl. She seemed to bemoving along in a light that shone from one of those guns they carry. [STEVEN] Oh Dodo, really. [DODO] Oh no, it's true. It was like a torch. As he moved, she wentahead. [FLOWER] Come along, we're just wondering which way to take you now. [DODO] Why are they so cautious about what they show us? [STEVEN] You imagine things. [FLOWER] What are you whispering about? [STEVEN] We're just coming. [DODO] We're not going to find out much about this place from these two,are we? [STEVEN] Come on! --------------------------------------- (City corridor) [NANINA] Please, please let me go. --------------------------------------- (Control room) [SENTA] That must be Exorse. He's already behind his deadline. What'shappening to security this morning? [SENTA] He seems very depleted. What's his vitality reading? Seventeenpoint four. They took that very low. Can't they follow instructions inthere, or have I got to supervise every transfer of energy myself. Now,let's see. His recuperative charge is high. He'll recover. Thoseconfounded guards, they're all the same. They keep you waiting, throwthe whole routine out of gear, and then they expect you to be ready forthem the moment they arrive. All right, take him away. Release him.Help him along corridor KO4, emergency exit. Go ahead. [SENTA] Prepare this one. A47. We're behind schedule. We must transferimmediately. I am filing a complaint, Exorse. You're late. Surely shedidn't give you much trouble? [EXORSE] Of course not. I was delayed by the strangers. [SENTA] You've seen them? [EXORSE] Captain Edal and I were the first to find them. We brought themback. That was why I was late. [SENTA] You've actually seen them. What are they like? [EXORSE] Very like us, in some ways. [SENTA] But in some ways, they're different? [EXORSE] Yes, but I can't quite say what it is. I must be going. [SENTA] Is A47 ready yet? Yes, that seems all right. Tell them to bequite sure not to take A47 below vitality reading 24. [SENTA] Is he all right? Let's see. --------------------------------------- (City) [STEVEN] This city really is fantastic. You've fountains, music,everything. [AVON] Yes, we're very proud of it. [STEVEN] Why is it only within the confines of the City itself that youhave such ideal conditions? What about beyond? [FLOWER] Well [AVON] We've told you before. We have everything here that we need. --------------------------------------- (Control room) [NANINA] Please, please. [SENTA] All right. Take her away. [NANINA] Oh no! No! No please! --------------------------------------- (City) (Council Chamber) [JANO] Doctor, do you realise that with ourknowledge, we can make the brave man braver, the wise man wiser, thestrong man stronger. We can make the beautiful girl more beautifulstill. You will see the advantages of that in the perfection of ourrace. --------------------------------------- (City) [FLOWER] Come and see this, Dodo. [STEVEN] Yes, come on, Dodo, I'm sure you'll find. Oh, no. Now where'sshe gone? What's happened? [FLOWER] Dodo? [STEVEN] Dodo? Dodo, where are you? --------------------------------------- (Corridor) (Corridor) (Senta's laboratory) [NANINA] Please, no, don't, please, don't, no, no [SENTA] Make the connection. [SENTA] Vapourisation? [TECH 1] Vapourisation on. [TECH 2] Vapourisation on. [TECH 3] Vapourisation on. [SENTA] Prepare for transfer. [TECH 1] Standing by. [TECH 1] Twenty three point zero [TECH 2] Thirty eight [TECH 1] Twenty four point zero nine [TECH 2] One hundred. [TECH 2] One point zero two. --------------------------------------- (City) [STEVEN] Dodo! Dodo, where are you? What could havehappened to her? [AVON] I cannot think. Perhaps she's playing a joke. [STEVEN] What do you mean? [FLOWER] She may be hiding. Just a game. [STEVEN] Not even Dodo'd be as stupid as that. Something must havehappened to her. Dodo! Dodo! --------------------------------------- (Senta's laboratory) [(Dodo reaches the end of the corridor and stops.TECH 1] Three point five zero. [TECH 2] Thirty one --------------------------------------- (Council Chamber) [JANO] So you see Doctor, with this new stimulus,intellectual workers find themselves able to accomplish more. Artistsare able to create works of brilliance and beauty. Everything citizen [STEVEN [OC]] Doctor! Doctor! [DOCTOR] My dear Steven, you must not come bursting into the room likethis. Well? [STEVEN] Well it's Dodo. She's gone. [DOCTOR] Gone? What do you mean, gone? [STEVEN] She's completely vanished. [JANO] What are we to understand by this, Avon? [AVON] It's true. [FLOWER] Dodo was with us, and she vanished into thin air. [DOCTOR] Well, I really don't know what all this fuss is about. I'm surethe child won't come to any harmwhile she here. [JANO] No. She cannot leave the city. [DOCTOR] If I know that young lady, she's well enough to look afterherself. Now, come along, please let's finish the conversation. [STEVEN] But Doctor. [DOCTOR] Tut, tut, tut. --------------------------------------- (Senta's laboratory) [SENTA] Subject is very weak. Prepare to switch. I'll give you thesignal. [SENTA] Slowly, slowly. [SENTA] Vitality reading? [TECH 1] Twenty six. [SENTA] Carefully now. [TECH 2] In the control room with her. Quick. --------------------------------------- (Control room) [DODO] What do you think you're doing. Leave mealone! [TECH 3] Who is she? [TECH 2] She must be from outside. I'll check the list. [TECH 3] Why is she wearing such strange clothes? [DODO] You keep your hands to yourself. [TECH 2] We have no record of her. The only female in here is the onewho is in there now. [TECH 3] She must be from outside. Is she for transference? [TECH 2] She must be. What else? We'd better make preparations. [DODO] No, no, no! --------------------------------------- (City) [AVON] We came along here, you see, then we stoppedand looked out of this window. [FLOWER] The window? [EDAL] It's too small. She couldn't get out of that. You should havewatched her. You'll be held responsible. [FLOWER] We thought she was following. We didn't know she could vanish. [EDAL] She passed here? [AVON] Yes, but she couldn't go through it. [EDAL] Why not? [STEVEN] Hey, what is this? [FLOWER] Oh, it's nothing. We never use it. Pay no attention. [EDAL] The guards use it. [FLOWER] Oh, we never go there. None of the young people do. Dodo wouldnever go down there. [STEVEN] You don't know her. She'd go anywhere. [EDAL] If she's gone down there, I wouldn't give much for her chances. [STEVEN] What do you mean? [EDAL] I wouldn't give much for yours either. [FLOWER] She wouldn't go that way. It's not allowed. [STEVEN] Well, if it isn't allowed, Dodo would be the first in thequeue. I'm going to take a look. [EDAL] Stay where you are! --------------------------------------- (Laboratory) [TECH 2] Something very strange has happened, Senta. We have one of theoutsiders, but she does not submit. She is fighting. [SENTA] What? [TECH 2] In the control room. [SENTA] Take over. --------------------------------------- (Control room) [DODO] I don't know what you do in here, but whatever it is, I don'tlike it! Oh, no you don't! I don't know who on Earth you think I am,but you'd better keep back. This equipment must cost a packet. Keepback, or I'll smash the lot! [SENTA] Don't move! She could kill everyone. --------------------------------------- (City) [EDAL] You're not allowed in there. [STEVEN] It's the only place she can be. [EDAL] I will go and see. --------------------------------------- (Laboratory) [TECH 1] Senta! Senta! --------------------------------------- (Control room) [SENTA] Who are you? [DODO] I'm with the Doctor. We are guests here. If this is how you treatyour guests. [SENTA] You are one of the people from beyond time? [TECH 2] How is it possible? [DODO] Yes, I am. [SENTA] But why are you here?TECH 1 [OC] [SENTA] Stay here. [TECH 1] It is almost too late. --------------------------------------- (Laboratory) [SENTA] Break the connection! [EDAL] What are you doing here? [DODO] I just came through that door up there. [SENTA] I shall report the whole matter. Who is in charge of the party? [EDAL] What has she seen? [SENTA] It's hard to say. [EDAL] The Elders have already been told. [SENTA] Well, get her out of here! [EDAL] I already have my orders. Come along, this way. [DODO] All these instruments, that big glass thing, and those hugebottles. What do they do here? [EDAL] Come along. Your friends are waiting for you. [SENTA] Get her out. [TECH 1] Is it too late? [SENTA] Not quite. We've been lucky. Make a record of this for herfiles. It must be some considerable time before we extract any morelife energy from this particular subject. --------------------------------------- (City) [STEVEN] Where the dickens did you get to? [DODO] Oh, don't you start now. [STEVEN] Why? What happened? [DODO] You have no idea. I was attacked by some sort of mad doctor. [FLOWER] Oh, Dodo. What a ridiculous story. [DODO] What goes on down there anyway? Is it a sort of hospital? [AVON] Yes, yes that's right. It's a hospital. [FLOWER] Perhaps they thought you were a patient. [DODO] I wouldn't like to be a patient in their hands. [EDAL] You must have a reason for saying that. I would like to know whatit is. What did you see? [DODO] It wasn't anything I saw exactly, just a feeling about the place.It was all so sterile and inhuman. [STEVEN] Er, she imagines things. [FLOWER] I can see that. I know just the place to cheer you up, Dodo. [EDAL] You will have to report to the Elders. I will take you there. Youtwo will undoubtedly be called to answer for your negligence. [DODO] Oh, I hope I haven't landed you in any trouble. [FLOWER] Oh, no, we'll be all right. [AVON] Of course we will be. Perhaps we'll see you both later. [STEVEN] Yes. I hope so. [EDAL] Stay here. A guard will collect you. [AVON] Must Flower be taken before the Elders? It was my fault. I shouldhave kept a better watch on Dodo. [EDAL] You should be thinking of your own defence. [FLOWER] Oh, Avon, what will happen to us? Will they take? [AVON] Do not worry, Flower. That is only for the savages. [FLOWER] Are you sure? [AVON] I'm sure you will be all right. [FLOWER] But the guard's coming for us. [AVON] Do not be afraid. After all, this is a free state, isn't it, andwe are all equal here. [FLOWER] But [AVON] They cannot harm us. [STEVEN] You all right? [DODO] I am now. [STEVEN] I told you not to go off by yourself. [DODO] Don't worry, it won't happen again. --------------------------------------- (Laboratory) [SENTA] You are to go. You understand? You are to go. Help her torelease exit number four. --------------------------------------- (Council Chamber) [DOCTOR] A very interesting discussion, gentlemen.Yes, I must say. [DOCTOR] Oh, so there you are, my dear. You know you had that young manin quite a state. [DODO] Doctor, I must speak to you. I want to tell you what happened. [DOCTOR] Not for the moment, my dear. [STEVEN] I think you ought to listen. [DOCTOR] Do you my boy? Well, I'm afraid I can't just now. I've had avery interesting discussion with these gentlemen. You know, I have somedocuments which I think that you might be interested to see. They'rerecords of my investigations into time travel. You might find themrather surprising. [JANO] You intend to return to the Tardis, Doctor? [DOCTOR] Yes, just for the moment. But I won't be long. [STEVEN] I'll come with you. [DOCTOR] Oh, splendid, my boy. Thank you. I need someone to help mecarry a few things. [JANO] I'll send one of my guards with you. [DOCTOR] No, no, thank you, that won't be necessary. Thank you, indeed.Well, come along, my dear. We don't want to lose you again, do we?(The Doctor, Steven and Dodo leave.) [JANO] How serious is it? [EDAL] What she saw meant nothing to the girl. [JANO] But does she suspect anything? [EDAL] It's hard to say. What about the Doctor? [JANO] He is a very sophisticated man, Captain. It is impossible to knowwhat he thinks. [EDAL] It might be wise to keep an eye on him. [JANO] It might be very wise. Follow them. --------------------------------------- (outside the City) [DOCTOR] Ah, now. Wait a minute, let me see, where are we? [DODO] Doctor, why wouldn't you let me tell you what happened? [DOCTOR] Because I didn't want those gentlemen to overhear what you weresaying, child. [STEVEN] Who? Jano and the Elders? [DOCTOR] Precisely. [STEVEN] Why, don't you trust them? [DOCTOR] Not altogether. [STEVEN] What have you discovered? [DOCTOR] Nothing really, but I sense that things aren't all togetherright here. Now I think we go this way, isn't it? Come along. [STEVEN] Hey, wait a minute. [DOCTOR] What? [STEVEN] What's that? [DODO] It's one of the savages. [DOCTOR] Really? But he's not moving. Yes, yes, let's take a look. Holdthat. Here. [DODO] Why, that's him, the man in the corridor. The one I helped. Butthere were two others. [DOCTOR] Was he in this condition when you met him before? [DODO] Yes. [DOCTOR] Did he come out of that laboratory? [DODO] Yes, I think so. What's that matter with him, Doctor? Do youknow? [DOCTOR] Yes, yes, yes, I think I do, yes. It's just as I feared. [DODO] Feared? [DOCTOR] Yes, their wonderful civilisation is based on this. They'vediscovered a way of extracting life's force from human beings, andabsorbing it into themselves, leaving the victim, as you see, almostdead. [DODO] What can we do to help him? [DOCTOR] Here's the key to the Tardis, my boy. Now I want you to go tothe emergency cabinet and you will see a container with capsules markedD403. Bring it back here as soon as you can. I think we might be ableto do something for the poor man. [STEVEN] Right. [DOCTOR] Meanwhile, take that, I don't want it anymore. [DOCTOR] Now, now, now, now you just rest there, there's a good fellow.We'll have you as right as rain in five minutes. Now I just want you tobreathe in and out. Gently. One, two. One [EDAL] Do you require assistance, Doctor? [DOCTOR] What do you know of this? [EDAL] He's one of the savages. I shouldn't let him worry you. He'sprobably shamming. He should be back on the reserve. Come on, you lazyanimal, get up, move! Get back to your sector. [DOCTOR] What are you doing, fellow? Leave the man alone. He'll probablydie. [EDAL] I don't think there's much chance of that, Doctor. Come on, you,move. [DOCTOR] I insist that you leave him alone! [EDAL] I don't think you understand, Doctor. [DOCTOR] I think I understand only too well. [EDAL] You do? And you still waste time on this creature? [DOCTOR] This human being! [EDAL] Why the concern, Doctor? They are only savages. [DOCTOR] They are men. Human beings, like you and me. Although itappears at the moment that you're behaving in a rather sub-humanfashion. [EDAL] They have not developed like we have. They are savages! Come on. [DOCTOR] I forbid you to touch him! [EDAL] You are obstructing me, Doctor. [DOCTOR] I am looking after this wretched fellow. [EDAL] You will come with me. [DOCTOR] I have already told you I'm busy. I'm going to take care ofthis poor man. [EDAL] I have warned you! You will do as I order you! [DOCTOR] Hmm? [EDAL] Or you'll know the alternative. You will come with me back to thecity. [DODO] Where were they? [STEVEN] Over there. [DODO] Where's the Doctor? [STEVEN] Doctor? Doctor! [DODO] Now what do we do? [STEVEN] Give him the capsules. [DODO] What about the Doctor? [STEVEN] Oh, you know what he's like. He'll be back. He's just roamedoff somewhere. [DODO] Here, take this. [DODO] Shall I give him another one? [STEVEN] Yes, that first one seems to have done him good. [DODO] Steven, the savages! And they've got spears! [TOR] I'll aim for the man. You kill the girl. [CHAL] No, we must not kill them. [TOR] They have no light guns. They cannot harm us. It will be revenge. [CHAL] Revenge is no good! And what would the guards do to our people? [TOR] But we must save Wylda. [CHAL] Not by killing. [TOR] If we wait too long he will die. [CHAL] He will not die. They will not let him die. They take theirstrength from the living. We must wait and be patient. It might be atrap. Come on. [DODO] We must get away. [STEVEN] To the city? [DODO] No, I don't want to go back there. [STEVEN] All right. Where to, then? [DODO] Well, couldn't we get to the Tardis? [STEVEN] Might be too late. Besides, we can't go. They might have gotthe Doctor. [DODO] They're coming nearer. [STEVEN] All right. Don't let them see you're afraid. [DODO] I'll try. [TOR] Kill them! [CHAL] Wait! [WYLDA] Do not kill. [CHAL] Wylda speaks. [WYLDA] Do not kill them. They're friends. [CHAL] Friends? What did you give him? [STEVEN] We gave him medicine. [CHAL] Why? [STEVEN] Because he's sick. [CHAL] We left him to recover. He is not sick. [STEVEN] But look at him! [CHAL] You think he is sick? [STEVEN] Yes! [CHAL] You are from the city? [DODO] No, we're not. [CHAL] You must come from the city. [STEVEN] No, we come from another place. [TOR] We have seen you. You were in the city. [STEVEN] We were taken there. [CHAL] You have friends in the city? [WYLDA] She helped me, and the old man spoke against it. [STEVEN] The Doctor? Where is he? [WYLDA] They have taken him. [STEVEN] Taken him! [DODO] Where to? [WYLDA] To the city. [DODO] They've taken him prisoner? Steven, what are we going to do? [STEVEN] Who took him? [WYLDA] The guard. [STEVEN] One of the guards? Why would they want to do a thing like that? [WYLDA] The old man was angry. He tried to protect me from theircaptain. --------------------------------------- (Council Chamber) [JANO] We do not understand you, Doctor. You whohave accepted our honours gladly, how can you condemn this greatartistic and scientific civilisation because of a few wretchedbarbarians? [DOCTOR] So your rewards are only for the people that agree with you? [JANO] No. No, of course not. But if you are going to oppose us. [DOCTOR] Oppose you? Indeed I am going to oppose you, just in the sameway that I oppose the Daleks or any other menace to common humanity. [JANO] I am sorry you take this attitude, Doctor. It is mostunscientific. You are standing in the way of human progress. [DOCTOR] Human progress, sir? How dare you call your treatment of thesepeople progress! [JANO] They are hardly people, Doctor. They are not like us. [DOCTOR] I fail to see the difference. [JANO] Do you not realise that all progress is based on exploitation? [DOCTOR] Exploitation indeed! This, sir, is protracted murder! [JANO] We have achieved a very great deal merely by the sacrifice of afew savages. [DOCTOR] The sacrifice of even one soul is far too great! You must putan end to this inhuman practice. [JANO] You leave me no choice. Take him away, Captain. And tell Sentathat we have an emergency. I shall be sending him special instructions. --------------------------------------- (outside the City) [STEVEN] We must do something to help. [CHAL] There is nothing we can do. [STEVEN] Look, the people in the city are just men. You can fight them. [CHAL] They are too strong. [DODO] We are not going to let them do anything to the Doctor. [CHAL] They have the light guns. [TOR] They will use the Doctor like the rest of us. [DODO] What do you mean? [CHAL] They will take him to the room where the great vats are. [STEVEN] What will happen to him there? [CHAL] He will become like us. [STEVE] We'll see about that. [CHAL] They'll do the same to you if you --------------------------------------- (Senta's laboratory) [EDAL] Senta, this is the Doctor, the traveller frombeyond time. [DOCTOR] So this is the place where you carry out your foul experiments. [SENTA] This is my laboratory. I'm honoured to meet you, Doctor. [DOCTOR] Thank you. What's this? [SENTA] Why have you brought the Doctor down here today? I've no timefor visitors. We have a very full schedule, as you're well aware,Captain Edal. [EDAL] You will suspend all other work and prepare for an emergencytransference. [SENTA] But that's out of the question. [EDAL] The order comes directly from Jano. [SENTA] You are interested in our work? [DOCTOR] Oh, yes, yes, interested, yes. Although I disapprove of youractivities. [SENTA] I shall be honoured to show you my laboratory when I have thetime. Well, where is the savage for transference? [DOCTOR] No, gentlemen, no, gentlemen. I don't wish to bear witness. [EDAL] It's quite all right, Doctor. You will not be asked to witnessthis experiment. [DOCTOR] I should hope not, my boy. [EDAL] Instead you will have the pleasure of participating in it. [DOCTOR] What did you say? [SENTA] Do you realise what you're saying? We cannot transfer such ahigh form of life. It's never been done. [JANO] This time it will be done. It will be an interesting experimentfor you. [SENTA] But, he's a fellow scientist, he's one of us. [JANO] You have your orders. See that they are carried out. [DOCTOR] I think you have forgotten one thing, gentlemen. [JANO] I don't think so, Doctor. [DOCTOR] My feelings in this matter! I will not submit to yournauseating experiments! I am going out of that door, so don't try tostop me. [EDAL] Go back, Doctor. [DOCTOR] Let me pass. [SENTA] You two, strap him to the trolley! [JANO] Report to me as soon as the transference is completed. [SENTA] Take the readings. Open a special file in the computers. We'venever done a transference like this before. We'll use channel double A,double one. [TECH 1] We are ready, Senta. [SENTA] Very well. Stand by. [SENTA] All correct. Make the connection. [SENTA] High input vats? [TECH 1] High input vats in contact. [SENTA] Vapourisation. [TECH 2] Vapourisation on. [TECH 1] Vapourisation on. [SENTA] Prepare for transfer. [TECH 1] Standing by. [SENTA] Now remember. We've never done anything like this before. Watcheverything very carefully. Let me know the moment there's anythingunusual. [TECH 1] I will, Senta. [SENTA] Transfer on. [SENTA] Call me the readings. [TECH 1] Point zero one, point zero two, point zero three, point zerosix. [SENTA] Keep it steady. [TECH 1] Point zero eight. It's impossible. He'll never stand it! [SENTA] It should be working by now. [TECH 1] Point one zero. [SENTA] Come on, come on! It must work! [TECH 1] Point three zero. [TECH 2] Vitality dropping fast. [SENTA] It's no use. We must stop the experiment. [TECH 1] No, Senta. Look, it's working! [SENTA] Energy reaction? [TECH 2] Seventeen. Constant [SENTA] It is working. [TECH 2] Seventeen rising. [TECH 3] Point seven zero. [TECH 2] Eighteen. [SENTA] Take it up a couple of points. [TECH 2] Nineteen. [SENTA] Two more. [TECH 2] Twenty. [SENTA] Wonderful! It's amazing. He must have tremendous strength. [TECH 2] Twenty one. Twenty two. [SENTA] Vapourisation is perfect. Everything is working. It's going tobe a classic transference. This is our greatest success. [TECH 1] One point five zero. [TECH 2] Twenty five. [TECH 1] Two point five zero. --------------------------------------- (Control room) [TECH 1] Five point one. Zero. Five point six. Zero.Six point one. Zero. Six point seven. Zero. Seven point one. Zero. [SENTA] Adjust resistance pressure. What's the resistance reading? [TECH 1] Negative. [SENTA] Vitality's dropping. Watch it carefully. Adjust cutout at twentyfive. Don't reduce any lower or he may not recover. [JANO] Senta! Your message was passed on to me. You are to becongratulated. [SENTA] It's a perfect transfer. [JANO] Remarkable. How is the Doctor? [SENTA] Reduced nervous tension of course, but in good condition. Giventime he will recover, and like the others, we'll be able to use himagain. [JANO] You realise what this means, Senta. If we are able to achievethis transfer successfully, we will be able to do the same with theother time travellers. [SENTA] The young man and the girl. [JANO] As it is, they are a danger to us, but as a source of energy theycould be of great value. Captain Edal. Send out patrols. The two youngpeople who arrived with the Doctor must be brought in. --------------------------------------- (Valley) [CHAL] Leave him. We have brought you here only for your safety. [STEVEN] What have you done for the Doctor? [CHAL] We can do nothing for him. [STEVEN] If you don't fight them, you'll always suffer. [CHAL] Obviously you have never faced the light guns. [STEVEN] What is this place? Why have we come here? [CHAL] To hide. That is where we live. [DODO] Caves? You live there? [CHAL] Yes. [STEVEN] Like animals. [CHAL] Like animals. It is the one place the guards will not follow.Even they hesitate to go into the darkness of those passages. [TOR] There is news, Chal. The patrols have been sent out. They aresearching for the strangers. [DODO] How do you know they're looking for us? [TOR] They have not touched any of our people, and they are stillhunting. [STEVEN] Did you hear anything about the Doctor? [TOR] He will have been used. [DODO] You mean they put him in that glass cell? Steven, what are wegoing to do? [STEVEN] Don't worry, Dodo, we'll find him. [CHAL] I must warn you, when you do find him he will not be as youremember. They leave us afterwards only a hollow shell of ourselves. --------------------------------------- (Laboratory) [JANO] What is his vitality? [SENTA] It's down to twenty five. We were very careful. [JANO] And the energy count? [SENTA] That's high. As a source of energy, his power is remarkablyhigh. [JANO] And he will recover? [SENTA] Of course, but it will take time. [JANO] Very well. And now I wish you to prepare for an in-transference. [SENTA] So soon? [JANO] The sooner the better. [SENTA] You've nominated a number of people to receive part of his lifeforce? [JANO] No. There will be only one person. [SENTA] That's most unusual. [JANO] This is a most unusual experiment, Senta. It would not be rightto jeopardise the safety of any other members of the city. I will takefull responsibility. [SENTA] You're going to take the in-transference yourself? [JANO] Yes. [SENTA] But Jano, is that wise? Anything might happen. We've never seenthe results of such an in-transference before. [JANO] It is for that reason that I will take the risk. I shall be readywhen you need me. --------------------------------------- (outside the City) [EDAL] Keep to your own division, Exorse. You're toofar over. This is section K4. You should be beyond the scrubland. Goand see if they've tried to reach the Valley of Caves. [EXORSE] Very good, Captain. --------------------------------------- (Valley) [STEVEN] What is it? [CHAL] A patrol is coming this way. [TOR] I have warned you. they are looking for you. [DODO] Will they come here? [CHAL] Possibly. [STEVEN] Where can we go? [TOR] There is no place where you are safe. [CHAL] Be silent! You will be safe in the caves. [TOR] No, Chal! You cannot take them into the caves. The guards wouldfollow and then our last refuge would be gone. [CHAL] They have helped us. We must help them. [TOR] No! They are not our people. They must not be allowed in thecaves. [CHAL] I am the leader and I say they may go. [TOR] Very well. Our destruction will be on your hands. [CHAL] You will remain here. Come with me, quickly. --------------------------------------- (Cave entrance) [CHAL] Nanina, do not worry. They are friends. [WYLDA] They helped me. [DODO] It's beautiful. Like a little temple. [CHAL] This is where we live. It is the one spot on this island which wecan call our own. [STEVEN] But who's made all this? [CHAL] Our people have done it. [STEVEN] It's superb! [CHAL] Our ancestors were great artists. As time passes, we are lessable to do such things. Most of our talents have been taken from us.Only our faith remains, and that they will never take. [WYLDA] Look out. The patrol is coming. --------------------------------------- (Valley) [EXORSE] Stay where you are. Where are they? [EXORSE] Next time, I will take you away. I asked you, where are thestrangers? [EXORSE] Up there, are they? Right. --------------------------------------- (Cave entrance) [NANINA] What is happening? [CHAL] He is coming this way. [NANINA] Go back. I will watch. [EXORSE [OC]] You have the two strangers. Tell them to come here. [NANINA] There are no strangers. [STEVEN] Let me see what's going on. [NANINA] Stay down there! [STEVEN] How many guards? [NANINA] There's only one, but he has a gun. [DODO] What's he doing now? [NANINA] It's no use. He's coming here. --------------------------------------- (Cave) [STEVEN] Isn't there any other way out of thisplace? [CHAL] There are the passages but they don't lead anywhere. [DODO] You mean we're trapped? [CHAL] No, no, no. They will give us a chance. There are many passagesand he may not know which one to follow. Come with me. [EXORSE [OC]] This is an order. Bring out the strangers. I know they arethere. [STEVEN] What will happen to him? [CHAL] They can do no worse than they have done before. [DODO] We don't want to bring any more suffering on your people. [EXORSE [OC]] Very well, I will come and get them myself. [CHAL] Quickly! This way. [EXORSE] The strangers, girl, where are they? Tell me or you willsuffer. [NANINA] I will tell you nothing. [EXORSE] After I find them, I shall teach you to obey. [EXORSE] Where are they? Very well. I shall take you back in theirplace. [NANINA] Don't talk. [SAVAGE] They have gone into the face of the rock! [STEVEN] Shhh! [EXORSE] Which opening? Which opening? Get back! [NANINA] You have betrayed them. [SAVAGE] But he would have taken me. --------------------------------------- (Tunnel) [DODO] Where does this lead to? [CHAL] Only further into the rocks. [DODO] There's no way out? [CHAL] No. [DODO] Listen. [STEVEN] I don't hear anything. [CHAL] I'm not sure. Come on. [DODO] Isn't there any place to hide? [CHAL] Shh. Remember the echo. [STEVEN] But she's right though. We don't stand a chance if all thepassages are as narrow as this. [CHAL] I can promise nothing, but he may not follow. [STEVEN] How much more of this passage is there? [CHAL] Very little, but it is our only chance. [EXORSE [OC]] I know you are there, strangers. There is no escape foryou. It will be better for you if you turn back now. [DODO] It's no good, Steven. [EXORSE [OC]] Do you hear me? [STEVEN] What's that? [CHAL] It is the last bend. After that, there is nothing. [STEVEN] Go on. --------------------------------------- (Cave) [TOR] Where are they now? [WYLDA] They've gone into the rock. [TOR] And the guard? [NANINA] He has followed. He showed him the way. [TOR] Chal should not have brought the strangers here. They will punishall of us. [NANINA] But the strangers helped us. [TOR] What good is that if they make the leaders angry? --------------------------------------- (Tunnel) [EXORSE [OC]] Come back, strangers. There is no escape. [STEVEN] Then come and get us. [CHAL] He knows we are here [STEVEN] If I can get him angry, he might do something rash. Come on,soldier boy, what are you frightened of? You've got the gun. [CHAL] He will destroy us all. [STEVEN] How will he do that? [CHAL] With the gun. [STEVEN] Tell me, how will he use it? [CHAL] What does it matter. [STEVEN] Hurry up, I've got to know. Tell me, how does it work? [CHAL] They shine the liquid light beam on us and we cannot move. [STEVEN] Does the beam reflect? [CHAL] How do you mean? [STEVEN] If the light from the gun reflects, does it still work? [CHAL] Yes, yes, I've seen it from the water of the lake. [STEVEN] Quick, Dodo, give me that mirror. Now come on, get on thefloor, both of you. [CHAL] It's no use! [EXORSE [OC]] You are foolish to think you can defy me. Have the peopleof the caves not told you? You cannot resist us. [STEVEN] We're going to change all that, soldier boy. Come on, what areyou frightened of? [EXORSE] The travellers from beyond time are indeed foolish people. [STEVEN] Keep down! [CHAL] Don't let it shine on you. Don't let it touch your eyes. [STEVEN] Quiet. [DODO] It's coming closer. [EXORSE [OC]] Now do you understand, strangers? We are masters. [CHAL] We must go. We must obey. [STEVEN] Hold him, Dodo. Hang on to him. This might just work. [CHAL] It is useless, stranger. [STEVEN] Well done, Dodo. Now for it. [EXORSE [OC]] I will give you no more orders. You will step into thelight. [STEVEN] Right. Now turn. Back along the passage. Come on, move. [CHAL] He has taken the guard prisoner. It is impossible. --------------------------------------- (Cave) [NANINA] They're coming back. [TOR] We should not have angered him. What will happen to us? He hastaken them prisoners. [NANINA] It's the guard! [TOR] He has the gun. [NANINA] We're safe. [STEVEN] Right, tie him up. Make him a prisoner. [TOR] You can destroy the people of the city. They can destroy ourenemies. The strangers must be gods. --------------------------------------- (Control room) [TECH 1] Are we to release him into the outer worldas with the others? [SENTA] He is not one of the savages. He couldn't look after himself.No, he will be kept here. The Elders intended to give him the guestapartments. He must be taken there. Assist him. Treat him with greatcare. He is most valuable to us. [TECH 1] I understand, Senta. --------------------------------------- (Senta's laboratory) [JANO] You are ready? [SENTA] Yes. I've sent my assistants away. [JANO] You are right. It is most important that we keep thisin-transference secret until we know the results. I don't wish to alarmanyone. [SENTA] Shall we begin? [JANO] I am ready. [SENTA] May all go well. I shall switch on when you give me the signal. --------------------------------------- (Cave) [TOR] We should kill him while we have the chance. [STEVEN] He's more use to us alive. [TOR] They have killed many of our people. It will be justice. [NANINA] Leave him. [TOR] Why do you pity him, Nanina? This is the guard that took you.Think what they do even now to the old man. [STEVEN] And if we're quick we may still be able to help the Doctor.. [TOR] It is too late. There is nothing we can [CHAL] Be silent! What do you wish us to do? [STEVEN] Show us how to get into the city. [CHAL] There is a way, but it is dangerous. It is always guarded. [STEVEN] I can handle the guards with this. Just show me how to get in. [NANINA] And once you're in? [STEVEN] Dodo and I can find the Doctor. [CHAL] Do you know where he is? [DODO] We were supposed to go to the guest apartments. [NANINA] It will not be possible. [STEVEN] We must try. [CHAL] Very well, I will show you. But we must hurry. [STEVEN] Guard your prisoner. Make sure he doesn't get away. [NANINA] Good luck go with you. [TOR] The safest way to deal with him is to kill him now. [NANINA] You heard what Chal said! I shall call him back! [NANINA] Has he hurt you? [EXORSE] Not much. [NANINA] Let me see. I shall make sure it is clean. [EXORSE] You're the girl I brought into the laboratory. [NANINA] Yes. [EXORSE] Why did you stop him? [NANINA] It would do no good to kill you. [EXORSE] What is your name? [NANINA] Nanina. [EXORSE] I shall remember. --------------------------------------- (outside the City) [CHAL] The entrance is there. It opens into a passage which leads to thelaboratory. [STEVEN] Can you be sure? [CHAL] Oh, yes. It is the way we leave when they have taken our strengthaway. [DODO] Get down. [STEVEN] He doesn't look as though he expected trouble. [CHAL] Our people have been oppressed for so long the guards have growncareless. [STEVEN] All right, we'll make use of that. How close in do I have to gobefore this becomes effective? [CHAL] Just a little further. [STEVEN] Right. You two stay here. [GUARD] Hello, there? Is that you, Exorse? [STEVEN] Dodo, Chal! [STEVEN] Get his gun. [CHAL] Switch off your light. [DODO] He's flat out. [CHAL] The light must have hit his eyes. It is as if he was struck by aclub. He will be like this for a long time. [STEVEN] How do we open the door? [CHAL] It's simple. [STEVEN] Right. Chal, take this fellow up into the bushes. We don't wantanyone to find him here. Then wait for us. [CHAL] What will you do? [STEVEN] Dodo and I are going inside. --------------------------------------- (Laboratory) [SENTA] In-transference completed. Pressurerestored. Are you all right, Jano? Jano! [SENTA] Jano? [SENTA] Are you all right, Jano? [SENTA] For a moment I was afraid that [JANO] Hmm? What's all the fuss about? I'm quite all right. The troublewith you people on this planet is that you don't [SENTA] What do you mean, Jano? You belong to this planet. You're one ofus. [JANO] One of? Yes, yes of course. I'm afraid I'm not quite myself. [SENTA] I understand. You must rest, Jano. I shall give instructionsthat you're not to be disturbed. [JANO] Hmm! An excellent idea. After an experience like that, one takestime to become adjusted. I suppose my two young friends [SENTA] Avon and Flower? [JANO] Good gracious, no, no, no. Steven and Dodo, the child with theridiculous name. [SENTA] The strangers? [JANO] Oh, strangers to you, perhaps, but I have known them both for [JANO] Yes, yes, of course. The strangers. [SENTA] I will leave you, Jano. [JANO] Hmm! So, I'm in this dreadful place, am I? Well, I'll soon dosomething about their equipment. [JANO] What's happened to me? What's happened to me? --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [DODO] Steven, there's something wrong. It shouldn't be so easy to getin. [STEVEN] Chal and his people will be too terrified to break in. [DODO] Surely they should have some security? [STEVEN] Maybe they thought one guard was enough. --------------------------------------- (Control room) [EDAL] They're not going to give us much trouble. Just a little bitfurther and they'll have no chance to get back. [SENTA] It looks as though they're stopping. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [DODO] Steven, there's something strange. I don'twant to go on. [STEVEN] It's our only chance. We've got to find the Doctor. [DODO] Listen. --------------------------------------- (Control room) [EDAL] We just have to coax them in a little. [EDAL] Hello, guest apartment control. Captain Edal speaking. Conducttime traveller number one to the end of emergency corridor U3. --------------------------------------- (Senta's laboratory) [EDAL [OC]] You are to leave the Doctor there by himself. Take him thereimmediately. This is urgent. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [DODO] This is the corridor I was in before. There'sa T junction just ahead. [STEVEN] Can we get into the laboratory that way? [DODO] Yes. [STEVEN] Come on. [DODO] All right. --------------------------------------- (Control room) [GUARD [OC]] Time traveller number one in position. [EDAL] Good. Release him. Stay out of sight until I give the signal. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [DODO] Here's the T junction all right. (groan)There's someone there! [STEVEN] Yes, you're right. Stand by. [STEVEN + DODO] Doctor! [DODO] Oh, it's wonderful to see you. [STEVEN] Doctor, are you all right? How did you get here? [DODO] Why doesn't he answer? [STEVEN] Are you all right, Doctor? (groan) Come on. We're going to getyou out of this place. [DODO] He's not moving. Steven, give him a hand. [STEVEN] What was that? [DODO] The door! [STEVEN] Dodo, quickly! [STEVEN] Doctor, come on now. You can get through! [DODO] Steven, I can't hold on much longer. [STEVEN] Doctor! Doctor! [DODO] What have they done to you? --------------------------------------- (Control room) [EDAL] Guards to emergency corridor U3. Usedestructive vapours as protection against the light guns. Move upbehind. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [DODO] Look! [STEVEN] There's someone behind it! [DODO] That's no good, Steven. We've got to get out of here. [DODO] Oh, quickly, Steven. It's getting nearer. [DODO] I can't see anything. [STEVEN] We've got to go through it, Dodo. [DODO] I can't. [STEVEN] Come on, Dodo. [DODO] I can't. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [STEVEN] It's no good, Dodo. I'm sorry. [DODO] Help me, Steven. This stuff is choking me. [EDAL] Throw the light guns into the vapour. [STEVEN] No, don't, Dodo! [DODO] Steven, I can't breathe. Do as he says. [STEVEN] You fool! [EDAL] The other light gun. Throw it immediately. [DODO] Steven, give him the gun. --------------------------------------- (Control room) [JANO] No, don't, my boy. Don't give it to them. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [DODO] Steven, look! The doors are opening. [STEVEN] Quick, Dodo. Get the Doctor out! [DODO] What about you? [STEVEN] Do as I say. Don't worry about me. [DODO] Come on, Doctor. [STEVEN] Come on. Right, now you get back! [SENTA] What happened? Did they escape? [EDAL] Who opened the doors? [SENTA] Someone has helped the strangers to escape. Give the alarm! --------------------------------------- (Control room) [EDAL] You! You opened the doors. [JANO] Don't be ridiculous, young man. Why would I do that? You seem toforget that I am in charge here. Why would I do anything to help ourenemies? [EDAL] Well, no, but if you didn't do it [JANO] If? Kindly remember to whom you are speaking. I am. (pause) Getback to your work, Captain. [EDAL] What about the strangers? You want us to go after them? [JANO] The strangers? Oh yes. Yes, instruct B Patrol to make ready. [EDAL] I'll take charge of them myself. [JANO] No, Captain, you will not. I will lead the patrol. --------------------------------------- (Scrubland) [DODO] Doctor, please. You must try to go on. Oh, please try. Is thereany sign? [STEVEN] No, not yet, but they're bound to be following. [DODO] Oh come on, Doctor. Come on. [STEVEN] It's no good. [DODO] Doesn't he care what happens? [STEVEN] He doesn't even know. [DODO] Look out! [STEVEN] It's all right, it's Chal. [CHAL] How did you get him away? I did not think it was possible. [DODO] Look at the state he's in. [CHAL] Yes, I've seen many of our people like that. That is how theyleave us. [STEVEN] Will he recover? [CHAL] Yes, but it takes time. [STEVEN] Where can we hide him, Chal? [CHAL] No place is safe, but it's best to take him to the caves. [STEVEN] Quickly, they're right behind us. Chal, you and Dodo, get theDoctor to the caves. I'll try and hold them back. [DODO] But what can you do? [STEVEN] I can delay them for a little while. Now, go on. You're goingto need all the time you can get. [DODO] Good luck, Steven. --------------------------------------- (Ridge over the scrubland) [JANO] That way. The strangers may have done one of two things, Captain.They may have tried to get back to their spaceship, or they may havegone on to the Valley of Caves. I suggest we split up. Take two men andsee if the strangers have tried to reach their machine. I will go on tothe Valley. [EDAL] You two, guard the strangers' space machine. [JANO] You are not going with them? [EDAL] I will come with you, Jano. I think you may need my help. [JANO] Very well. --------------------------------------- (Scrubland) [EDAL] Look out! [JANO] How dare [EDAL] The strangers! Just one of them. He's over there behind thoserocks. We'll have to split up and work round the side of him. You takethat side, and I'll take this. Jano, you can watch him from here. [JANO] Right. --------------------------------------- (near the Valley) [DODO] Will Steven be all right? [CHAL] Who can tell? He is a brave man. [DODO] Are we nearly there? [CHAL] It's not far to the Valley of the Caves. [DODO] If only the Doctor would move faster. [CHAL] You must understand he's not himself. It's as though he wereasleep still. Help him. Do not be angry with him. [DODO] I'm sorry. --------------------------------------- (Scrubland) [JANO] What happened? [EDAL] He's not here. He's playing for time. The longer he can delay us,the more chance they've got of getting the Doctor to the caves. [JANO] Look out, Edal! [EDAL] Come on! --------------------------------------- (Valley) [DODO] Chal, we've done it! There's your cave. [CHAL] What are my people doing? There is no guard. --------------------------------------- (Cave) [NANINA] Drink this. [EXORSE] Thank you. [NANINA] Let me see your head. [EXORSE] I'm all right. [TOR] It's a pity I didn't kill him when I had the chance. People of hiskind must be destroyed if there is to be any hope for the rest of us. [NANINA] We will not save ourselves that way, Tor. [TOR] You hear her? Nanina protects our enemies. This is a dangerousman. What do we do, let him go so he may attack us again? Or do we getrid of our enemies to help ourselves? [NANINA] Chal is our leader. He and the strangers have given us ordersthat this man is not to be hurt. [TOR] I never trust the strangers, and Chal is not here. [NANINA] All right, Tor. I am here. [TOR] You would fight for this man, Nanina? How can an enemy mean somuch? [CHAL [OC]] Tor, where are you? [NANINA] It's Chal! [CHAL [OC]] Where's the guard? --------------------------------------- (outside the Cave) [CHAL] Help him. [NANINA] Where is the other stranger? [CHAL] He will come. --------------------------------------- (Scrubland) [EDAL] How did he get away? [JANO] You must ask your guards. [EDAL] We will be too late. They will be in the valley by now. --------------------------------------- (Valley) [DODO] There's someone coming! It's Steven. [STEVEN] Get him inside, quick! They're right behind me. [EDAL] There they are. Fire! [STEVEN] Get him into the back of the cave, quick, and give him some ofthose capsules. [DODO] Which capsules? [STEVEN] Those that we gave to the savage. [DODO] Yes, I forgot. [STEVEN] Somebody's moving. [CHAL] It's their leader, Jano. [TOR] Quickly, fire now. Shoot! [DOCTOR] Not at Jano. [STEVEN] Doctor, what are you doing? [DOCTOR] You must not harm Jano. [TOR] But he is their leader. [DOCTOR] Please carry out my instructions, and do not harm Jano. [TOR] It is too late now. [CHAL] Yes. Take him down. [DODO] Doctor. --------------------------------------- (Cave) [STEVEN] Here, take this. Go on, take it! [STEVEN] Don't use it unless you have to. [DODO] Are you all right, Doctor? [DOCTOR] Yes, I think so, my dear. I must have fallen into some kind ofa coma. It was as though, as though all my powers were being sapped. [CHAL] You have let their leader escape. [DOCTOR] Where am I? Where am I? [STEVEN] These are the cave dwellings where Chal and his people live. [DODO] We've got to get back to the Tardis. [DOCTOR] No. No, my dear, no, no, we can't leave yet. No, we've got alot of work to do. [STEVEN] Work? [DOCTOR] Yes, yes, I don't intend to leave these people in thisoppressed state. [STEVEN] Well, you're never going to convince the elders that Chal andhis people should be treated like human beings. [DOCTOR] Yes, you're probably right, my boy. I shan't even try. [CHAL] Well what are you going to do? [DOCTOR] I am going to destroy the power that they hold over you. [STEVEN] Destroy the laboratory? [DOCTOR] Yes, precisely. [STEVEN] But how are we going to get in? They'll be waiting for us thistime. [DOCTOR] All we need is one friend from the other side. [NANINA] But that is not possible. [DOCTOR] I think we have him already, my dear. --------------------------------------- (Valley) [JANO] It is getting dark. I want you to return tothe city. [EDAL] Leave you here alone? [JANO] Yes. I shall be all right. [EDAL] I can't do that. I refuse to. [JANO] I am still your leader, Edal, and this is an order. Tell Sentaand the elders that I shall return with the strangers as prisoners. [EDAL] I obey, under protest. --------------------------------------- (Cave entrance) [STEVEN] They've gone. [DOCTOR] All of them? [STEVEN] It's hard to tell. It's too dark. [DOCTOR] Yes, I think you will find they've left one behind. [STEVEN] I'll stay on guard. [DOCTOR] Yes, well, there's no need to, my boy. [CHAL] You speak in riddles. You say they have left one behind, but wedo not need a guard? I, I [DOCTOR] That is correct. We'll wait until it's dark, and then I thinkwe shall have a visitor. --------------------------------------- (Laboratory) [SENTA] But you shouldn't have left him there, Edal. [EDAL] I was forced to. He's acting very strangely. He's not at allhimself. [SENTA] Are you sure? [EDAL] Jano has changed. [SENTA] That's a dangerous accusation to make. [SENTA] Dare you repeat it in front of them? [EDAL] I was ordered to return here by Jano. Elders, I believe we areabout to be betrayed. --------------------------------------- (Cave) [DODO] There's someone coming. [DOCTOR] There's no need for that, my boy. [STEVEN] Doctor. [DOCTOR] Shush, shush, shush, shush. [JANO [OC]] Don't be alarmed. Is the Doctor there? [CHAL] It is Jano. [DOCTOR] Yes, I am here, Jano. We were expecting you. [DOCTOR] Tell your people they are quite safe, Chal. Jano comes as afriend. [CHAL] Do not be afraid. We must trust this man. [JANO] How do you know that I come as a friend? [DOCTOR] Oh, my dear Jano, it wasn't difficult. I knew you were toundergo the in-transference yourself. [JANO] You knew that? [DOCTOR] Yes, an unknown experiment. And you're not the type of man toallow others to take risks. [JANO] You're right, Doctor. And now tell me, what has happened to me? [DOCTOR] It's all very simple. You wanted my intellect. You got it, andalong with it, you received a little conscience. [STEVEN] Conscience? [DOCTOR] Yes, yes. You see, Jano is now saddled with the sense of rightand wrong, which makes him an explosive element in a civilisation suchas his. [STEVEN] Is this true? [JANO] It must be. All I know is that since the experiment I have notbeen sure of myself. I have grown aware of the evil that we have doneand I am determined to end it. [CHAL] You are going to help us? [JANO] Yes. [TOR] Your friends would never agree. [JANO] I know. I will not try to persuade them. [DOCTOR] Jano has another plan. [JANO] How did you know, Doctor? [DOCTOR] I think it's like mine. [CHAL] Hold him! [STEVEN] He's gone. [TOR] If he gets back, that will be the end of your fine plan. [DOCTOR] We must take that chance. [TOR] Nanina! --------------------------------------- (Scrubland) [EXORSE] Why did you follow? [NANINA] If you betray Jano, what will become of us? [EXORSE] It is Jano who is the traitor. [NANINA] What have you learnt, Exorse? That we are people likeyourselves. What chance will we ever have if you speak. [EXORSE] You think I can keep silent about what I've heard? [NANINA] You owe me your life, Exorse. I have a right to ask you. If youare against us now, you condemn us forever. --------------------------------------- (Laboratory) [SENTA] I promised Jano that I would tell no-oneabout the in-transference, but now I must. It appears that Jano hasabsorbed dangerous ideas from the Doctor. What can we do? [EDAL] We can no longer trust Jano. He is not fit to lead us. I willtake command. Declare an emergency. We must be ready for Jano. --------------------------------------- (Cave) [JANO] Everyone must do as I command. You too,Doctor. No one will turn back. And now we must move. --------------------------------------- (Laboratory) [EDAL] You were a prisoner in the cave? [EXORSE] That is correct. [EDAL] Jano. I left him there alone. He had some plan. [EXORSE] I did not see him. [SENTA] According to Captain Edal, Jano is no longer to be trusted. Hehas gone over to the savages. --------------------------------------- (outside the City) [JANO] Come on, get a move on there. Come on, getalong. [JANO] Come on. --------------------------------------- (Laboratory) [EDAL] Are you sure, Exorse, you have nothingfurther to report? [EXORSE] Nothing, Captain. [EDAL] Strange, very strange. We'll see what the interrogators can getout of you. [EXORSE] Only the leader has the right to send citizens to the interr [SENTA] Captain Edal has called an emergency. He has taken over theleadership in the absence of Jano. [JANO] In the absence of Jano? [SENTA] We did not expect you back here. [JANO] Why not? Did I not say that I would be back with prisoners. Bringin the strangers. [SENTA] So you were wrong, Edal. Captain Edal informed us that you hadgone over to the enemy, Jano. He has tried to take your place. [JANO] Put the Captain under arrest. Both of you. [EDAL] I demand to be heard. [JANO] You will be heard at the right time and place. Take him away. [SENTA] We apologise, Jano. We thought that something had happened toyou during the in-transference. [JANO] Seal off the doors. [SENTA] Are we to prepare these savages for transference? [JANO] Seal off the doors. [SENTA] What's happening? I insist upon knowing. [JANO] You will find what I going to say very difficult to understand.All the Elders of our city are here, and so is the source of oursupremacy on this planet. No man easily gives up the means which givehim power. [SENTA] I don't understand you, Jano. [JANO] That is what I am asking you to do. I want you to destroy allthis. [SENTA] What? The laboratory? The generators? [JANO] All the machinery which we have used to destroy our fellows. [SENTA] They are not our fellows, Jano. They are the savages. They arenot capable of development like us. [JANO] How do you know? [SENTA] All history proves it. The savages are good only to provide uswith energy. The laboratory must not be destroyed. [JANO] These people whom you call savages are our equals. What we havedone to them is wrong. If you will not destroy all this, then I must. [SENTA] What are you doing? Stop him! [JANO] This is our only chance to start life afresh on this planet. Helpme! [SENTA] Well, don't just stand there! Use your gun. [NANINA] Help, Exorse. It's the only way to help us all. [EDAL] Open the doors! We cannot get in. [DOCTOR] You know, my dear, there's something very satisfying indestroying something that's evil, don't you think? [DODO] Yes! [JANO] This is only the beginning, Chal. After this destruction, ourpeople must learn to build a world that they can both live in. [CHAL] And both sides must learn to trust each other. [JANO] We may need a new leader. Somebody who can unite us. [EDAL [OC]] Make sure the strangers don't escape. It is they who havedone this to us! Kill the Doctor on sight. These are my orders! [EDAL] Get Jano! Arrest him. [STEVEN] Stay where you are! What can you do now? The place isdestroyed. Your power's gone. [EDAL] You! I should have killed you a long time ago. And you, Doctor.You have done this to us. [JANO] Edal, you have no more authority here. [EDAL] You. You are a traitor. I do not take orders from traitors! [STEVEN] Drop it! [JANO] Doctor, we already owe you much. (to Steven) And now I owe you mylife. [DOCTOR] Jano, since you have destroyed the power you held over Chal andhis people, you realise now of course, you've got to learn to livetogether. [JANO] Yes, but the fear and hatred of the past will only die slowly. Weneed someone like yourself as a mediator until we have become onepeople. [DOCTOR] I see. But in my case I'm afraid that is utterly impossible. [JANO] The man we need must inspire trust. His judgements must come fromhis heart, even more than his head. [CHAL] Here is the leader we want, Jano. [JANO] This is what I thought. [STEVEN] Just a minute. I couldn't. [DOCTOR] A great honour, dear boy. [STEVEN] But I can't walk out on you and Dodo! [DOCTOR] Just think of the challenge to be able to set up the people ofthis planet for a new life. You're quite ready for this task. [STEVEN] You think I can do it? [DOCTOR] Yes, I do. And you're the only man who can, my boy. [STEVEN] Has the offer come from both sides? [CHAL] You would give us new hope. Our people will become great again.We will learn to live as equals without bitterness. [STEVEN] What about Tor? [TOR] I should accept your decisions. [STEVEN] Very well. I will stay. [CHAL] Thank you, thank you. (to the Doctor) And thank you. You havejustified our faith. [DODO] Oh, Steven. [STEVEN] I shall miss you both, Dodo. [DODO] I shall miss you. [JANO] Doctor, for many light years we looked forward to your arrival onthis planet. We always knew of your wisdom, but we never dreamed of themiracle that it would bring us. [DOCTOR] Thank you, Jano. And if ever you need the benefit of my wisdomagain, I trust and hope you will allow me to express myself with my ownfree will, rather than place me in an oven, and try and cook it out ofme. [JANO] Come, Chal, we must summon our people. There is much work to bedone. We shall await you in our Council Chamber. [DOCTOR] Well, I must say, young man, I'm very proud of you. [STEVEN] Doctor, I don't know if I [DOCTOR] I know, I know, my boy. Well, go on, you mustn't keep themwaiting. [STEVEN] Goodbye, Doctor. [DOCTOR] Goodbye, Steven, and good luck. [DODO] Doctor, do you think we'll ever see him again? [DOCTOR] Well, who knows, my dear. In this strange complex of time andspace, anything can happen. Come along, little one. We must go. Wemustn't look back.

Doctor Who (25 Jun, 1966; First Doctor) - The War Machines (Fitzroy Square, London) [DOCTOR] Well, I suppose you know where you are, my dear. [DODO] London. Home. It's marvellous to be back. It seems ages since Ileft. [DOCTOR] Oh, when you've seen the ages that I've see, you won't use thatterm quite so freely. Anyway, I don't think it's been all that long. [DODO] Hey, what's that for? [DOCTOR] Oh, well, you see, the problem is, coming back to the twentiethcentury, my dear, the Tardis, I'm afraid, is often mistaken for thereal police box. [DODO] I see what you mean. [DOCTOR] Yes, and fortunately he can't get in. [DODO] If only he could. Scotland Yard whipped off into time and space. [DOCTOR] So that's it! [DODO] What? Oh, the tower. It's finished! [DOCTOR] Isn't that interesting. Very interesting. [DODO] It's great, isn't it. Stephen would have liked it here. [DOCTOR] You know there's something alien about that tower. I can senseit. [DODO] Smells okay to me. Good old London smoke. [DOCTOR] I can feel it's got something sort of powerful. It's. Look atmy skin. Look at that. I've got that pricking sensation again, thesame. Just as I had when I saw the Daleks, those Daleks were near. [DODO] Daleks? Who are they? [DOCTOR] Oh, er, yes, of course, you, er, you didn't meet them, did you,child? No. No, and I pray that you never will. I really mustinvestigate it. --------------------------------------- (Brett's laboratory) [BRETT] Things are running all right? [POLLY] Yes, Professor. [BRETT] Good. [GREEN] It is a splendid view, certainly. I think you'll enjoy it. [DODO] Doctor, look at it. Isn't it terrific! [GREEN] Professor Brett. [BRETT] Ah, Doctor! I understand from Major Green you're a specialist incomputer development. [DOCTOR] Well, hardly a specialist, sir, but I dabble, yes, I dabble.Oh, so that's what it is. [BRETT] I beg your pardon? [DOCTOR] Yes, you know I had a very strong sense of energy outside thisbuilding, a sort of magnetic pull if you like. It was most unusual, soI presume that's what it must have been. [BRETT] It is indeed. It's my life's work, Doctor. [DOCTOR] Most ingenious. [BRETT] I think I can go so far as to say that it's the only one inexistence in the world. It's at least ten years ahead of it's time. [DOCTOR] Is that so? [DODO] What makes it so special? [BRETT] Well, Miss, er? [DOCTOR] Oh, ah, my secretary, Dodo Chaplet. [BRETT] Well, Miss Chaplet, I'll explain. This is perhaps not thebiggest computer in the world, but it's certainly the most advanced. Infact it can handle scientific problems well outside the range of anyother computer in existence. We are about to link this up withcomputers all over the world as a central intelligence. A sort ofproblem solver. [DODO] I don't understand. [BRETT] Well, perhaps it'll be clearer tonight. [DOCTOR] Oh, tonight, sir? [BRETT] Yes, of course. Press conference. I thought your visit? [DOCTOR] Oh yes, yes, yes, yes, of course, my dear fellow, yes, eh Dodo? [DODO] I call that very exciting. [BRETT] Exciting. Look, this is my secretary, Polly. [DODO] Hello, Polly. [POLLY] How do you do. [BRETT] Now Polly's pretty smart, a cracking typist, right? (Polly pullsa face) Also rather a cheeky one at times. Well now this machine, whichI call WOTAN. [DOCTOR] You call what? [BRETT] "Vo tan." Spelt W O T A N. Will Operating Thought ANalogue. [DOCTOR] Oh, yes, yes, quite so. [BRETT] Well now, WOTAN can not only think faster than Polly or myself,it can also type faster. [DODO] True? [POLLY] Afraid so, and it never makes mistakes, wretched thing! [DOCTOR] Are you seriously telling me, sir, that you have invented amachine that can think? [BRETT] Yes. [DOCTOR] And never makes mistakes? [BRETT] Never. [DOCTOR] I take it that I speak into here. [BRETT] Yes, that's right, Doctor. [DOCTOR] Er, what is the square route of 17422? [BRETT] Correct? [DOCTOR] One moment please. 131 point 993. Yes, that's near enough. Yes,it's truly remarkable. [DODO] May I try it now? [BRETT] Certainly, go ahead. [DODO] Now let's see, you funny looking contraption. Here's one you'llnever get. What does the word Tardis mean? [DODO] Doctor? [DOCTOR] Well, what did it say my dear? [DODO] Got it right. Time And Relative Dimensions In Space. [DOCTOR] Good heavens! Let me see. Well now, how would it know that? [BRETT] WOTAN knows a lot I don't know. There's something else I cantell you, Miss Chaplet. Miss Chaplet? [DOCTOR] Dodo! [DODO] Pardon? [DOCTOR] What's the matter my dear, are you All right? [DODO] Oh, yes. Just a buzzing in the ears. [DOCTOR] Oh. Just sit down a moment. [DOCTOR] Now tell me, sir, now tell me, what part does this play? [BRETT] Oh, that's the usual memory bank, of course. [DOCTOR] I see. And that of course is the programme regimentator? [BRETT] Yes, but in this case, a slightly different one. [DOCTOR] Yes, I wonder [BRETT] Are you feeling better now? [DODO] Oh, fine, thank you. [BRETT] Good. Polly'll look after you. [POLLY] Is this your first time in London? [DODO] Oh, no. It feels like it though. I'm so out of touch. What I'dreally like is to go to the hottest night spot in town. [POLLY] Oh well, that's easy. The Inferno. --------------------------------------- (Inferno club) [POLLY] Hi, Kitty. [KITTY] Hello Polly, love. Oh, am I glad to see you! [POLLY] Dodo, this is Kitty. Kitty, Dodo. [DODO] Hello. [KITTY] Hi, Dodo. Polly, you're just the person I need. Will you helpme? [POLLY] Oh, here we go again. Not that I mind helping people. Well, whatis it then? [KITTY] Well, when you were here last week, do you remember a sailor atthe end of the bar? [POLLY] Not especially, why? [KITTY] He's been here ever since. Poor lad, he just sits there at theend of the bar. Look out, here he comes now. [KITTY] Well, see? He's no great advertisement for the most with itplace in town, is he? Couldn't you cheer him up just a little? [POLLY] All right, Kitty, leave it to us. Stand by, Dodo. This lookslike a rescue mission. The Navy's in trouble. Excuse me. [POLLY] Well, hello. We met the other night, remember? [BEN] Oh yeah, I think I do. [POLLY] You think you do? Oh, I must have made a big impression on him. [BEN] No, it's not that. [POLLY] Well, what is it then? It must be something pretty big, not tohave noticed me. [BEN] Well, I'm sorry. [POLLY] Oh, he says he's sorry. [BEN] Well there's no law against sitting' here is there? [POLLY] Well, there should be when you've got that look on your face.Look, I'll show you. [BEN] Is it as bad that then? [DODO] Worse. [POLLY] So, spill the beans, sailor. Give us the facts. What's yourproblems? [BEN] Ah, you wouldn't understand. You'd think I'm some kind of a nut. [POLLY] Well, try us. [BEN] Well, it's my ship, see. It's gone off to the West Indies and I'vegot a shore posting. In barracks for six months. [POLLY] And you'll miss the swaying palms, the white beaches, the bluesea [BEN] Very funny! If you've finished cheering me up. [POLLY] Come on, Dodo, let's leave him. I can't stand people with nosense of humour. [DODO] Would you like some coffee? [POLLY] I'd love some. [FLASH] Try me. I got a great sense of humour. Anything for a giggle. [POLLY] Please take your arm away. [FLASH] Oh, come on, darling'. I know your type. You'll have a bettertime with me than with ol' shorty there. [BEN] What's that? [FLASH] Oh get lost. [BEN] Let her go! [FLASH] Look, go and play with your toy boats, half pint. [BEN] I said, let go of her. [BEN] Just try it, mate. I'll chop you in little bits. [KITTY] What's all this? [BEN] Nothing. One of you customers wants to go home. [BEN] You want to be careful who you encourage. [POLLY] You conceited little [DODO] Oh, now, Polly, he was just trying to help. Thank you, er? [BEN] Ben. Ben Jackson. --------------------------------------- (Royal Scientific Club) [SUMMER] Gentleman, ladies, may I have your attention please? Well,you're heard the backroom boys, now it's about time you my turn. C Day,that is Computer Day, will be next Monday, July the 16th, that is infour days time. Now on that date all the computer systems in thiscountry, and subsequently in the whole world will come under thecontrol of this central computer which we call WOTAN. Now, as you'veheard, that will have both peaceful and military implications. I needhardly tell you that this is a great step forward for Britain, andindeed I may say, for the whole world. Now, have you got any questions? [STONE] Roy Stone, New York Sketch. [SUMMER] Fire away. [STONE] Sir, doesn't this put a great deal of power into the hands ofwhoever operates WOTAN? [SUMMER] No one operates WOTAN. WOTAN operates itself. The computer ismerely a brain which thinks logically without any political or privateends. It is pure thought. It makes calculations, it supplies only thetruth. It has no imaginative powers. [STONE] Is there no way of fixing it so it can give the wrong answers? [SUMMER] There would be no point. Now don't forget that a computer likeWOTAN is not a human being. [STONE] Oh, but surely, sir [SUMMER] It has no reason to suppress the truth, it has no emotions. Itis our soul. [STONE] It seems to me by the way you're talking, sir, that this machinecan think for itself like a human being. [SUMMER] It can. Only much more accurately. [STONE] But sir, I mean, isn't this kinda risky? I mean, suppose itdecides it can do without people, what then? [SUMMER] I hardly think it'll come to that. I'm sure that ProfessorBrett and his team will have the machine well under control. [SUMMER] Where the devil is Brett? [KRIMPTON] He should have met me here an hour ago. [SUMMER] Well, give him a buzz, there's a good fellow. [KRIMPTON] Yes, all right. [SUMMER] Now gentlemen, I must apologise for the absence of ProfessorBrett. I'm sure he'll be along in a moment or two if you will just bearwith us. It is, after all, his show. --------------------------------------- (Brett's laboratory) [BRETT] I have to go now. I am already very late for an importantmeeting. Good night. [GREEN] You wanted something, Professor? [BRETT] Have you been here all day, Major? [GREEN] Yes of course. [BRETT] Are you sure that this building's properly screened? [GREEN] If you have any complaints [BRETT] I have. There's someone in this part of the building. [GREEN] I'm sorry, sir, not at all possible. We have the completesecurity check on this section of the tower day and night. [BRETT] Are you sure? [GREEN] Positive. [BRETT] It's funny. I've had a feeling all day of someone there. Someonelistening to me, watching me. [GREEN] There's only the two of us in this part of the tower, sir. [BRETT] I suppose you must be right. I'm sorry, Major. I must be gettingtired. [GREEN] That's all right. Oh, will you be working late tonight,Professor? [BRETT] No, no. Good heavens, I must be off. I'm late. Thank you, Major. [GREEN] Goodnight sir. [BRETT] This is ridiculous, I must be imagining things. It's quiteridiculous. [BRETT] What do you want? --------------------------------------- (Inferno club) [DODO] I don't think so, I can't. I'm thirsty. [BEN] Yeah. [KITTY] Hello, there, bright and breezy now, are we? [BEN] Yeah. [KITTY] Steady sailor. Watch it! [BEN] Same again, girls? [DODO] Oh no. [POLLY] Thank you. [KITTY] Polly, you're a wonder. How do you do it? [POLLY] Oh, it's just a knack, you know. Anytime you want a bit ofbrightness in your life, come to Pol. Mind you, he's a special case. [KITTY] You can have a job here anytime you like. [POLLY] I've already got a very good one, thanks. [POLLY] What's the matter, Dodo? [DODO] I don't know. I've had a sort of a headache ever since I leftyour office. [BEN] Headache? [DODO] A sort of high pitched hum. It's gone again now. I'm all right,really. [BEN] Oh, good. Anyone feel like another dance? [POLLY] Oh, here we go. --------------------------------------- (Royal Scientific Club) [SUMMER] Well, gentlemen and ladies, if there areno more questions? I really am very sorry about the absence ofProfessor Brett. I'm sure that it must have been something veryimportant that prevented him coming. Ah! Professor Brett. [BRETT] Gentlemen, I am sorry I was not able to attend. It wasunavoidable. [SUMMER] Well now that you're here perhaps you'll talk to the gentlemen [BRETT] I want to see Professor Krimpton. [SUMMER] I beg your pardon? They've been waiting. [BRETT] It's urgent. Professor Krimpton. [KRIMPTON] See me now? [BRETT] Immediately, if you don't mind. [SUMMER] Are you all right Brett? [BRETT] Quite all right, thank you. [SUMMER] Well, it is the computer then? [BRETT] No. [STONE] Ah, Professor Brett. I'm from the New York Sketch, sir. [BRETT] No comment. This way, Krimpton. [STONE] But I haven't asked a question, sir. Can you make a comment [SUMMER] I'm very sorry, gentlemen, but that seems to be it. Thank ofyou all for your time. [SUMMER] Thank you. Oh, excuse me, are you the doctor that ProfessorBrett telephoned me about? [DOCTOR] Yes, I am, Sir Charles. [SUMMER] Oh, well, I'm glad that you could come along. I wonder what onEarth's got into him this evening? His manner was very odd. [DOCTOR] Yes, very odd, very odd indeed. Perhaps he's overworking. Whowas that little man, Krimpton? [SUMMER] Oh, electronics fellow. One of our top men. Come to think ofit, electronics. Perhaps there is something wrong with WOTAN and hedidn't want to let it out? That would explain it, wouldn't it? Look,I'm terribly sorry but would you excuse me, I think I'd better go andcheck. Kennedy, will you look after the Doctor for me? [DOCTOR] I wonder. I wonder. --------------------------------------- (Brett's laboratory) [GREEN] I understand. --------------------------------------- (Inferno club) [KITTY] Hello, Inferno. What? Who? Speak up! Oh, right, yes. I'll gether. Dodo, it's for you! [DODO] Hello? Yes, who is it? --------------------------------------- (Brett's laboratory) [DODO [OC]] Hello, who is this? Hello?! --------------------------------------- (Inferno club) [DODO] Yes. Yes, I understand. --------------------------------------- (GPO Tower corridor) [KRIMPTON] Brett! I must say it's rather odd tobreak up a meeting like that and drag me off at this time of night! [BRETT] I had no choice, Krimpton. [KRIMPTON] No choice? Now what do you mean? [BRETT] You will soon understand. --------------------------------------- (Tower lift) [KRIMPTON] Now look here, Brett. I'll stay a coupleof minutes. I think it's a bit much. [BRETT] Nothing is too much. [KRIMPTON] What are you talking about? What's the matter with you thisevening? Has the computer broken down? [BRETT] On the contrary, it's we who have broken down. We have failed. --------------------------------------- (outside Brett's laboratory) [KRIMPTON] We have failed? [BRETT] We've reached a standstill. We cannot develop the Earth anyfurther. Further progress is impossible. [KRIMPTON] What do you mean, impossible? [BRETT] That is the conclusion reached by WOTAN. --------------------------------------- (Brett's laboratory) [KRIMPTON] Are you joking? This machine is hardlyin a position to [BRETT] I'm not joking. WOTAN has decided that the world cannot progressfurther with mankind running it. [KRIMPTON] Oh really? And what does WOTAN propose to do about it, takeover from us? [BRETT] From now on, we are to serve. [KRIMPTON] And if we choose not to, I suppose mankind will beeliminated. [BRETT] If it is necessary. [KRIMPTON] You've been working too hard, old chap. You've gonecompletely off your rocker. [BRETT] You cannot escape. [KRIMPTON] Oh dear. [KRIMPTON] Oh Major, thank heavens you're here. He's gone round thebend. He's gone mad. [GREEN] He is not mad, Professor Krimpton. [KRIMPTON] Let me out of here. [GREEN] You must wait. [KRIMPTON] I refuse to be kept. I refuse to [GREEN] Don't touch that! [KRIMPTON] You can't leave me here, I'll get, I'll [KRIMPTON] No, it's not possible. No, I don't believe it! I won't workfor you! I'm human. There's nothing more important than human life.Machines cannot govern man! I will not [KRIMPTON] What do you want? --------------------------------------- (Inferno club) [BEN] Where's your friend, then. Can't see heranywhere. [POLLY] I don't know. Surely she wouldn't have left without a word tous? [BEN] I shouldn't think so. She seemed a nice bird, friendly. Not stuckup like you, Duchess. [POLLY] Look, don't call me Duchess. I'm worried about Dodo. I'msupposed to be looking after her. You know, showing her around. [BEN] You? That's a laugh! [KITTY] Well, it is our night for surprises. What does he want in here? [POLLY] Oh, it's the Doctor. [KITTY] Do you know him? [POLLY] He's Dodo's boss. [KITTY] He looks like that disc jockey. [BEN] Yeah. [DOCTOR] Ah, I thought I'd find you both here. Well I hope Dodo andyourself have enjoyed yourselves. [POLLY] Yes, thanks. [KITTY] Have one on the house, Doctor. It isn't every day we get theover twenties in this place. Oh, I dig your fab gear. [DOCTOR] Fab gear. Who is your friend? [POLLY] He's not exactly a friend. I've just met him. His name is Ben.Ben, the Doctor. [DOCTOR] Ah, yes, how do you do, my boy. [BEN] Hello, sir. [DOCTOR] I don't see Dodo about. [POLLY] I'm afraid she's gone. [DOCTOR] She's gone? Gone where, child? [POLLY] Well, she came to answer the phone about half an hour ago, andwe haven't seen her since. --------------------------------------- (Brett's laboratory) [BRETT] There is one special human brain that WOTANneeds. The task of leading this brain here to serve WOTAN will be anextremely delicate matter. It has been arranged. [GREEN] Someone is coming. [BRETT] The fourth member called here to receive orders. [BRETT] The Doctor's secretary. [DODO] What are my instructions? [WOTAN] Doctor Who is required. Bring him here. --------------------------------------- (Brett's laboratory) [BRETT] Here are your orders. Time is short. Progress is impossibleunless WOTAN takes control within the next few days. Then WOTAN shalldecide on the future of the human race. Who shall live to serve themachines, and who shall be eliminated. [BRETT] Krimpton, you take that. [KRIMPTON] London is the first capital to be taken over, then Washingtonand Moscow. War Machines must be built immediately. [BRETT] Further instructions from WOTAN. We shall require skilledlabour. A labour corps will come into operation immediately. Contactwill be made by these people by telephone. When they are on the line,switch them through to thought control. This is the way each personwill be enlisted. [GREEN] When we have the people where are we to construct the machines? [BRETT] At central points in London. You, Major Green, will selectsuitable places. I shall supervise the initial stages. Suspicion mustnot be aroused. [GREEN] I shall attend to this immediately. [BRETT] You, Krimpton, will work upon a suitable electronic programmefor the new mobile computers. They must be able to move freely andcontain their own power. All computer systems throughout the world mustbe integrated in WOTAN. [KRIMPTON] I shall begin this at once. [BRETT] No. Top priority is to enlist Doctor Who. He has advancedknowledge which WOTAN needs. Doctor Who must be enlisted into ourservices tonight. [WOTAN] Doctor Who is required. --------------------------------------- (Inferno club) [KITTY] Look, love, I really am sorry about yourfriend not turning up, but I've got to lock up now. You can hang a noteon the door if you like. [DOCTOR] Yes, a good idea. Thank you, that's very kind. [POLLY] I think we ought to go to the Police. [KITTY] I'd rather not have them round here, if you don't mind. We havegot a licence to think of. [POLLY] Well, we must do something. I'm going to start phoning thehospitals. What's her surname? [DOCTOR] Oh, Chaplet, Dodo Chaplet. [POLLY] I wonder which the nearest will be? [BEN] What are you phoning the hospitals for? [POLLY] Well she might have had an accident. [BEN] Oh, regular little ray of sunshine. ain't ya? [POLLY] Well, look, it's better than just sitting around here on ourbacksides doing nothing. [DODO] Hello, Doctor, so you found us all right. [DOCTOR] Oh, my dear child. [BEN] Where've you been then? [POLLY] What happened to you? [DODO] I've just been around the corner. [POLLY] But you've been hours. [DOCTOR] Yes, we've been extremely worried about you. [DODO] I, er, had a call from some old friends. I just popped along tosee them. Was I really that long? [DOCTOR] Indeed, you were. You didn't tell me about your friends. Andhow did they know that you might be here? [DODO] Oh, it's a long story. I'm sorry if you were worried. [DOCTOR] Well, I sincerely hope so. And by the way, my child, SirCharles Summer and his family have asked us to pay a visit. So ifyou'll excuse us, I think we'd better be off. [BEN] Yeah, well, I think I ought to get some kip too. [DOCTOR] Yes, I suppose isn't too late to get a cab, is it? [POLLY] No, we'll get one outside. [DOCTOR] Oh, yes, yes, yes, I suppose so. --------------------------------------- (Street) [POLLY] Goodnight Kitty. [KITTY] Goodnight, Doctor. [DOCTOR] Er, yes, goodnight my dear. Goodnight, young lady, goodnight. [BEN] 'Ere, look, wait 'ere, Doctor. I'll go and get you a taxi. [DOCTOR] Oh, yes. [POLLY] Wait for me, Ben. I know where we'll find one. [DODO] They shouldn't have done that. [DOCTOR] Well, that's very helpful of him, I thought. [DODO] Oh, yes, you're quite right. Of course it was. [DODO] You know, Doctor, those two have gone off in the wrong direction.The taxis are all down there. [DOCTOR] But, are you sure, my dear? [DODO] I've just seen three go past. [MAN] They're coming. [DODO] Come along, Doctor. We can pick up Polly when we find her. [DOCTOR] Oh, very well, my dear. [BEN] Doctor! [DOCTOR] Oh! [BEN] We were lucky enough to score this one for you, Doctor. [DOCTOR] Oh, yes, good boy, good boy. [DRIVER] Oi. [TRAMP] Ta ta then. [DRIVER] Oi, not so fast. What about my fare? [TRAMP] I was just about to pay you, my man. Have you got change of aquid? [DRIVER] Oh, no, not another one. No, I haven't got the change, mate. [TRAMP] Then I'll just pop over to the all night cafe and get some. [DRIVER] You're staying right here, mate. [DOCTOR] Oh, come along, my man. We're in a hurry. Come along. [DRIVER] Not until he pays. We all know him round here. [POLLY] I think I've got change. Here you are. [TRAMP] Thank you, Miss. There you are, my man. Half a crown on the top. [DRIVER] Thanks. Now be off with you. Right, where to, guv'nor? [DOCTOR] Eh? Oh, yes, yes. Here. Now look, give him that, my dear. [POLLY] Here you are. [DOCTOR] Come along. Come along, Dodo. All right, off you go, off yougo, off you go. [BEN] I'll see you all, then. [POLLY] Where do you have to get to, Ben? [BEN] Oh, just to a services club just around the corner. It's allright, I'll walk. [POLLY] Right. Listen, if you meet me at the reception of the PostOffice Tower tomorrow, I'll stand you lunch. [BEN] Yeah, yeah, all right. But I'm no Deb's delight, you know. [POLLY] I can see that. [BEN] Yeah, well, goodnight Doctor, goodnight Dodo. See you tomorrow,Polly. [DOCTOR] Goodbye young man, goodbye. [DODO] Bye! [DOCTOR] Drive on. [POLLY] See you tomorrow. [BEN] Goodnight. [BEN] Here, have you got a bed for the night, mate? [TRAMP] Well, perhaps not what you'd call a bed, after a bit of a meal. [BEN] Ah, sorry, mate. [TRAMP] I'm going to doss down in the old warehouse over there. [BEN] Okay, goodnight. [TRAMP] It's bloomin' paradise after what I've been used to for the lastsix months. [BEN] Yeah. [MAN] She didn't bring the Doctor. Yes, she tried to but they went offin a taxi. I understand. We will do as you say. --------------------------------------- (Warehouse) [BRETT] This is your blueprint. It must be followed in every detail. Theouter sections are to be constructed at once. The electronic sectionmust be assembled in this order. --------------------------------------- (outside the Warehouse) [TRAMP] They've painted out the number. What's beengoing on around here? --------------------------------------- (Warehouse) [BRETT] The welding of the casing must begin now. Hurry, time is short.This machine must be completed and armed by tomorrow morning, ready tobe programmed by WOTAN. [BRETT] Cease work and stand by. There is a warning. Close the doors.There is a stranger amongst us. He is in north section of thewarehouse, bearing two seven zero degrees, behind cover. He is a dangerto us. He must be destroyed! [TRAMP] Now look, If you're the law, you got nothin' on me. I'm clean,just come out. Well, all right, live and let live. I'll find anotherplace to doss. Night all. [BRETT [OC]] Cover the door. He must not escape. [TRAMP] Now what kind of a welcome's this for a bloke what's just comeout the hospital? I won't say nothing, Boss. Here what is this, a nuthouse? Here, you keep away from me! [BRETT] Resume work immediately. Construction must be completed bytomorrow morning. --------------------------------------- (Summer's office) [DOCTOR] Good gracious! [SUMMER] What is it, Doctor? [DOCTOR] Well, just take a look at this, Sir Charles. [SUMMER] Tramp found dead in Covent Garden. [DOCTOR] Yes. Three o'clock. That must have been after we left him! [SUMMER] Did you know the fellow, Doctor? [DOCTOR] No, we met last night, or rather, early this morning. We usedhis taxi which he left in Covent Garden. [SUMMER] The Police aren't sure if it was a street accident. [DOCTOR] Oh, yes, it is possible, of course. [SUMMER] Well, what else? [DOCTOR] Oh, I don't know, Sir Charles, I don't know. [SUMMER] Well, if you'd just stop worrying about the indefinable, youmight be able to give me a little advice on a very real problem. [DOCTOR] Oh, yes? What's this then? [SUMMER] Letters of resignation from scientists, both of them in myfaculty. [DOCTOR] Oh yes, I see, yes. There's no reason given at all, is there? [SUMMER] No, that's the strange thing. Now these are two of the best menin England and I haven't been able to get in touch with them. No oneappears to have seen them since last night. Now isn't it anextraordinary thing that two such well known men can vanish sosuddenly. [DOCTOR] Yes, I wonder, Sir Charles, do you suppose, er? No, I don'tsuppose you would. [SUMMER] Coffee? [DOCTOR] No, no, no, thank you. [POLLY] Good morning, Sir Charles, Doctor. [DOCTOR] Morning, morning. [POLLY] I'm sorry I'm late. [SUMMER] Late? Late, what for? [POLLY] Well, for work. If you'll just show me where your secretary doeswork, I'll take over. [SUMMER] I'm afraid I don't quite understand. [POLLY] But Major Green told me to come straight round at once asProfessor Brett didn't want me this morning, and your secretary wasill. [SUMMER] Yes, well my secretary is away today, but how on Earth Brettknew? Still, I mean, if you're here I'd be very grateful of your help.The office is through there. I'll be there in a moment. [POLLY] Right, thank you very much. How's Dodo this morning, Doctor? [DOCTOR] Oh, there she is, child. Perhaps you'd better ask her yourself? [POLLY] Hello, Dodo, how are you feeling? [DODO] Quite well, thank you. Hadn't you better start work? [POLLY] Pardon me for asking. [DODO] Hello, Doctor. Hope I haven't kept you waiting for me today? [DOCTOR] No, child, no. You're right on time. Well, I'm sorry, SirCharles, I can't help you with your problem, but I'm afraid I'm ratherout of touch. [SUMMER] Yes, well, it's not going to be easy. Men of that quality arevery hard to find. Especially men with their knowledge of computers. [DODO] Computers? Well surely the person who can tell you all aboutcomputers is Professor Brett. We could call round and see him now. [DOCTOR] Oh but my dear, I thought you were going to show me roundLondon this morning. [DODO] Oh, don't worry about that. Your business sounds important. [DOCTOR] Oh, that's very nice of you. Yes, very understanding. [DODO] Right, I'm ready. [DOCTOR] Ah, I think perhaps I'd better phone his office first. [DODO] Yes, that might be best. [DOCTOR] Do you mind if I use the phone? [SUMMER] Oh, by all means. [DOCTOR] Thank you. [DOCTOR] Yes, yes, I want to speak to Professor Brett. Yes, he's at theGeneral Post Office tower. That's right, yes. --------------------------------------- (Brett's laboratory) [BRETT] Yes. It's the Doctor. [KRIMPTON] Ah, I'll switch him through. Direct to WOTAN. --------------------------------------- (Summer's office) [DOCTOR] Argh! [DODO] Are you all right? [SUMMER] Let's get him back into this chair. I'll get Brett's secretaryto phone for an a [DOCTOR] Oh no, no, no. [SUMMER] Well a little brandy then. [DOCTOR] No. Just water. [SUMMER] All right, I'll get some water. [DODO] Don't be alarmed, Doctor. This is the method of establishingcontact. Time is very short. Construction has already begun. You areneeded. [DOCTOR] What happened? [DODO] It's all right, Doctor. You are now one of us. My function was tobring you in contact. Now I shall serve as an assistant. [DOCTOR] Oh, what are you talking about, child? [DODO] Listen, Doctor, construction is taking place at strategic pointsin London. [DOCTOR] What were you saying, my dear? [DODO] But you took the call. You made the telephone call You madecontact, didn't you? [DOCTOR] Yes, yes, I think I remember, I was speaking to Professor Brettand all of a sudden there seemed to be an explosion. It very nearlyknocked me off my feet. It was as if, as if [DODO] What Doctor? [DOCTOR] It was if something enormous and terrific was trying to absorbme. Yes, yes, yes. Oh, it's ridiculous, child, isn't it? Yes, yes, yes,there's something erratically wrong with that telephone, yes. It wasjust like an electric shock. [DODO] Then you received no instruction. [DOCTOR] From whom, my dear? [DODO] From [POLLY] Here you are, Doctor, drink this. [DOCTOR] Yes, yes, thank you. [POLLY] What happened? [DOCTOR] That's it. Either that telephone is dangerously out of order,or [SUMMER] Or what? [DOCTOR] Stay where you are, my dear. [POLLY] What is the matter? [DOCTOR] There's a new and deadly danger facing us. Yes, and it's comingfrom Professor Brett's office. [POLLY] From my office? I don't understand. [DOCTOR] None of us do. Yet. Come here, my dear. Look at me. Yes, it'sjust as I thought. She's been hypnotised. Sit in that chair, my dear. [DOCTOR] Now, I want you to repeat after me. My name is Dodo Chaplet. [DODO] My name is Dodo Chaplet. [DOCTOR] I resist all attempts to change me into somebody else. [DODO] I resist all attempts to change me into somebody else. [DOCTOR] Now, I'm going to start counting. And when I've counted up tofive, you will be fast asleep. And when you wake again, you will forgetall about this distressing incident. Now I'm going to start counting.Just look at that ring on my hand. [DOCTOR] One. Two. Three. Four. Five. Yes, I think she'll sleep forforty eight hours, and when she wakes I want absolute peace and quietfor her. Do you understand? [POLLY] Are you sure she's all right? [DOCTOR] Oh yes, she's all right. [POLLY] Excuse me. [SUMMER] She can go down to my house in the country. My wife will lookafter her. [DOCTOR] Yes, it's a very fine thing. Yes, and take care of her, won'tyou. [SUMMER] Indeed I will. Polly, would. Oh, where has that girl gone to? [DOCTOR] I don't know. She said something about strategic points inLondon. [SUMMER] Strategic points? [DOCTOR] Where, I wonder? Where? --------------------------------------- (Airport) (Warehouse) [GREEN] Destructive weapons to be fitted and tested. Prepare fordemonstration of effectiveness. You there. Stay where you are, standstill. Bearing fifty two. Distance check thirty feet, elevation fivefeet. Impact, fatal. Take aim. [GREEN] Ready to proceed. Observe results. About to fire. Fire! [GREEN] Test satisfactory. Effective at thirty feet. --------------------------------------- (Brett's laboratory) [WOTAN] Where is Doctor Who? [BRETT] There is no word yet from the person known as Dodo. [KRIMPTON] Perhaps she has failed in her task? [WOTAN] Other means must be employed. Doctor Who is required. [BRETT] There is someone outside. [KRIMPTON] We must be ready to destroy. [POLLY] There you are, Professor. Are you all right? --------------------------------------- (Summer's office) [BEN] Excuse me, sir? [DOCTOR] Oh, Ben. How did you know I was here? [BEN] Well, I was supposed to meet Polly for lunch, see, but they toldme at the Tower that she'd come here. [DOCTOR] Didn't she keep that appointment? [BEN] No, Doctor. [DOCTOR] Oh, dear me, it's just as I feared. [BEN] Is there something wrong? Where's Dodo? [DOCTOR] Oh, she's a little under the weather and she's gone into thecountry for a few days. [BEN] Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. [DOCTOR] Oh she'll be quite all right, yes, really. I'm rather worriedabout Polly. She appears to be missing, that child. [BEN] Oh, probably gone all snooty on us. [DOCTOR] No, I think it's far more serious than that. That tramp in thepaper. Did you see it? [BEN] Of course. I thought I recognised him. He was in the taxi. But howdoes this connect with Polly? [DOCTOR] Well, I'm not so sure that it does, my boy. That's why I wantto solicit your help in this matter. I think, er, I don't think youwill arouse so much suspicion as the police might. [BEN] Well, just tell me what to do. [DOCTOR] Well, I want you to investigate in and around thatneighbourhood where we were last night in that club. [BEN] Oh, yeah. The tramp had a sort of home round there. Well, I'll goright now. [DOCTOR] Yes, and be careful, my boy. This might be dangerous. [BEN] I'll watch it, Doctor. --------------------------------------- (Covent Garden) [GREEN [OC]] Destruction and potency test, stand by. --------------------------------------- (Warehouse) [GREEN] Stand by for test on arm action. Testing. [GREEN] Test satisfactory. Stand by for sight test. Commence testing. [GREEN] Sight to be improved! Thirty yards maximum insufficient.Movement test. Commence testing. --------------------------------------- (Warehouse) [GREEN] This is a warning! Danger! There is a stranger. He must be foundand eliminated at once. Stop your work and start searching immediately.He must be found. --------------------------------------- (Warehouse room) [BEN] Polly, what are you doing here? [POLLY] I came to look for you. [BEN] What, did the Doctor tell you where I was? [POLLY] Yes. [BEN] Look, be careful. Don't go in there. [POLLY] Why? [BEN] Well, it's incredible. I must get back to the Doctor and report tohim. [POLLY] What is incredible? What have you seen in there? [BEN] I can't tell you now, Duchess. [BEN] Look, keep back, Polly. I'm telling you, come on. [POLLY] Why? [BEN] Because the people in there have gone mad. Well, they seem asthough they've been hypnotised or brainwashed. [POLLY] What else did you see? [BEN] There was a mechanical monster. And it moved, it just killedsomeone. Come on, we must get out of here. [BEN] Look, Polly, come on! --------------------------------------- (Warehouse) [GREEN] The stranger is beyond that door, bearingtwo hundred and fifteen degrees. He must be taken at once. He is athreat to the security of the War Machines. On no account must heescape. --------------------------------------- (Warehouse room) [BEN] Polly, move! --------------------------------------- (Warehouse) [GREEN] Lock all the outside doors. He must notleave the building. --------------------------------------- (Warehouse room) [BEN] That's it, girl. Now come on, let's get out of here. [BEN] Have you gone mad? What are you doing? Look, for Pete's sake,Polly, open it! [POLLY] I have my instructions. [BEN] Polly, what's happened to you? [POLLY] You are not to escape. [BEN] Look, I've got to get out of here. Come on, get out of the way! [BEN] Look, Polly, get out of the way. [POLLY] You are not to escape! [BEN] Must get away! [POLLY] Help! [BEN] Polly, do you know what you're doing? Go and get the Doctor beforeit's too late. --------------------------------------- (Warehouse) [GREEN] Bring him here. The machine will deal withhim. [BEN] Polly, go now! Go and get the Doctor, Polly! [GREEN] Bring him. The stranger has been spying. [BEN] Polly! --------------------------------------- (Summer's office) [DOCTOR] Oh dear, dear, dear, dear, dear. [SUMMER] Well, take my advice, Doctor. It's no good upsetting yourself. [DOCTOR] Oh yes, that boy, that boy should be back here ages ago. [SUMMER] Well, you know what young people are. He's probably beendistracted by something. [DOCTOR] Well, he seemed quite a responsible young lad. I suppose if hehasn't phoned it's because he hasn't been, er, well, he has not beenable to. [SUMMER] Well, what do you suppose stopped him? Well, I must say, we'vegiven him four hours. Perhaps it is time that I asked the police toinvestigate? [DOCTOR] No Sir Charles. I don't think we should allow the police tointervene at the moment. Otherwise we might drive this threat furtherunderground or wherever it is. [SUMMER] Precisely. Whatever it is. Oh, damn it, man, you've got noevidence. We simply cannot let rumour upset the big switch on. [DOCTOR] Well, unless I'm very much mistaken we're going to have a lotmore than rumour to contend with. Oh, dear me, where is that boy? --------------------------------------- (Warehouse) [GREEN] You tried to warn human authority of ourwork in this building. You are an enemy of mechanised evolution.Nothing must be allowed to prevent the machines taking over. They arethe next stage in the growth of life force of Earth. All obstacles willbe swept aside, including you. [BEN] Are you all mad?! It'll be your turn next. [GREEN] We are needed by WOTAN. WOTAN will decide our fate. [BEN] You are mad. All of you. Look, Polly, can't you see what'shappened to you? [GREEN] What does the girl want? [POLLY] I trapped him. I did not let him escape. [GREEN] That is true. [POLLY] WOTAN requires all the labour we can find. It is too soon todestroy this stranger. Let him work and destroy him later. [GREEN] How do you know what WOTAN wants? [POLLY] I have just come from Professor Brett. These are his orders andthe orders of WOTAN. [GREEN] Very well, let him live. He will work for us. We must all work.Go back to your work. [BEN] Strewth, that was a close one. Thanks, girl. Well, you reallyplayed them along. You even had me fooled. [POLLY] You have been spared. Now you must work hard for the success ofthis great new cause. [BEN] Eh? What cause? [POLLY] The victory of the War Machines. --------------------------------------- (Brett's laboratory) [BRETT] All War Machines will be ready to attack bynoon tomorrow. [KRIMPTON] Machines have been programmed to destroy any form of humanlife that opposes them. The order to attack must come from WOTAN alone. [BRETT] None are fully completed yet. The Covent Garden machine is nowon it's final tests. [KRIMPTON] The programming of these machines is near completion. [BRETT] All War Machines must be disciplined. They must attacksimultaneously. [KRIMPTON] Object of attack, to take over strategic centres and assumecontrol of all human authority. --------------------------------------- (Warehouse) [GREEN] Faster! All human beings who break downwill be eliminated. [GREEN] There is no time for rest. You must follow the example of themachines. [BEN] Are you okay, ducks? [POLLY] Why do you speak? [BEN] Well, look at you, you're nearly on the ground. [POLLY] I'm very well. I am happy to work for the success of theMachines. [BEN] Look, come off it, love. You can hardly stand up. [POLLY] That is not important. [BEN] Oh yeah, sure. [POLLY] Must not stop. All work must be complete by tomorrow noon. [BEN] Well, why by noon? [POLLY] The attack is to begin. [BEN] Attack? [POLLY] The takeover of London by the War Machines. [BEN] Oh that. And you're looking forward to it, eh? [POLLY] Of course. [BEN] Yeah, we're all so keen they've even taken the guard off the door. [POLLY] Naturally. None of us wish to leave. We all wish to stay for themoment of victory. [BEN] Oh yeah, victory, that's right. And we'll all be here won't we? [POLLY] Yes. [GREEN [OC]] All explosives to be collected here. [GREEN] All explosives to be examined and primed ready for use by noontomorrow. Work. Work! The success of the War Machines depends upon us. --------------------------------------- (Warehouse room) (Summer's office) [DOCTOR] Well, I can't wait any longer. I must takea look for myself. [SUMMER] But, Doctor! [DOCTOR] After what happened to Dodo, my dear sir, we should never havelet those youngsters out of our sight. [DOCTOR] That might be Ben now. [SUMMER] I'll see. [DOCTOR] Ah, come in my dear. Good heavens. [DOCTOR] My dear boy. What's happened to you, lad? [SUMMER] Are you all right? [BEN] Yeah, I'm all right. [DOCTOR] Now, take your time, take your time. Now, where's Polly? [BEN] She's still there, Doctor. They've got her. She's one of them now. [DOCTOR] What do you mean, they've got her? Where is she? [BEN] She's in a warehouse. [DOCTOR] Where? [BEN] A warehouse in Covent Garden. And there's a machine, a killermachine. And if we don't stop it, it'll kill half London! --------------------------------------- (Warehouse) [GREEN] Where is he? You are responsible for thestranger, where is he? Do you know what has happened to him? Answer. [POLLY] He escaped. [GREEN] How do you know? [POLLY] I saw him. [GREEN] You saw him and you did not give the alarm? [POLLY] No. GREEN [POLLY] I don't know. [GREEN] You are working for the machines, you are an instrument only.You have no friends, no will of your own. [POLLY] Friends. He was my friend. [GREEN] She has betrayed the WOTAN. She therefore must be sent back toWOTAN to be punished. --------------------------------------- (Summer's office) [SUMMER] Don't tell me that you believe thisfantastic story, Doctor? [DOCTOR] Well, I'm afraid I do. [SUMMER] What, that this machine made by man, that it's suddenly come tolife? [DOCTOR] Yes, I had suspected something of that sort. [SUMMER] Oh, come on, Doctor. The boy's been suffering some sort ofdelusion. [DOCTOR] Oh, my dear Sir Charles! How could you know that? [SUMMER] Because it's impossible. Here, in the heart of London? [BEN] Look, I'm telling you, it has happened! Don't let's waste any moretime arguing! [DOCTOR] We are not wasting time, my dear boy. We need Sir Charles'authority, his help. Without this we can do nothing. [BEN] Look, Sir Charles, every minute we waste is dangerous. They lookas if they're preparing an arsenal to blow up London. [SUMMER] Well if this is so, why weren't the police informed? [BEN] Well I'm tellin' you now, aren't I? I nearly got done, what moredo you want? You inform them. If you don't it'll be on your own head. [SUMMER] I don't like your tone, young man. [DOCTOR] I am quite prepared to accept the truth of this boy'sstatement. [SUMMER] All right. If you consider it's necessary I'll have a word withthe Commissioner of Police. [DOCTOR] No, Sir Charles. I think the police might find it too big forthem to handle at the moment. [SUMMER] Well, that is for them to decide. How many of them were there? [BEN] About twenty. [DOCTOR] And you say that they were obeying this machine? [BEN] Yeah. They said something about 'all machines must be ready bynoon tomorrow'. Then they attack. [SUMMER] Ah, well, we shall see. It should be a fairly simple matter tosurround this place and arrest twenty people. [BEN] And who'll do that, the coppers? [SUMMER] That is what the police are for. [BEN] But that machine will make mincemeat of them in twenty secondsflat. [SUMMER] Then presumably they'll send for the army and that'll put astop to this machine of yours. [DOCTOR] I'm afraid we've got all our priorities mixed up. They might beable to destroy this machine, but in all probability there are otherswaiting to attack us. [BEN] Well, I'm sure there are. [DOCTOR] Exactly. And we don't know their location. And I doubt verymuch if we can find them all by tomorrow noon. No, I think we shouldstrike at what I believe to be the centre of this menace. WOTAN. [SUMMER] Oh now I hardly think that'll be necessary. There's no evidenceto link Professor Brett with this machine of yours. [BEN] No link up? What about Polly? [SUMMER] I've had quite enough from you, young man. I shall handle thisaffair in my own way. [BEN] Well, what's he going to do? [DOCTOR] Well, I fear we've riled him, my boy. You see, the officialmind can only take in so much at a time. However, we must keep ourweather eyes open. Come along. --------------------------------------- (Summer's study) [SUMMER] Hello? Hello? Hello, operator? I seem to have been cut off. Ah,is that you Minister? No? Well for heavens sake, call him out of theconference, man. This is an emergency! What's that? No, I'm not tellingyou again. Ah, is that you, Minister? Yes, yes, this is very seriousindeed. Some kind of killer machine, I'm told. Yes, like a tank. It hasabout twenty men with it. Yes, I should say this would call forfirearms. Just as well to be prepared. What? What, you think you mightcall the army? Well, just as you say, of course. No. No, well, I'vegiven your man all the details. It's in the Covent Garden area, I'mtold. Fine. Right. Well, I'm off down there right away. Goodbye,Minister. --------------------------------------- (Covent Garden Market) [SOLDIER] Right, on the double! [SERGEANT] These are the bearings, sir. They intersect here. [CAPTAIN] Yes, that's the building, isn't it, Sir Charles? [SUMMER] Yes, that's it. [CAPTAIN] Thank you, Sergeant. [SERGEANT] Sir. [CAPTAIN] We've been taking bearings. There's a good deal of radio andelectrical activity there. Have you any idea what's causing it? [SUMMER] Well I've been given to understand there's a large amount ofexplosive in there and a new kind of War Machine. Though how much truththere is in that I don't know. [CAPTAIN] And the people inside? [SUMMER] We don't know how they'll react yet. [CAPTAIN] Well, they won't get far. We've got a couple of platoonscovering the back of the building, and my lads watching both ends ofthis road watching the front. [SUMMER] Yes, well, I think we'd better have a look inside first. Sendsome of your men in. [CAPTAIN] It's all arranged. There's a patrol standing by. Say the wordand they'll go in and have a look around. [SUMMER] This, er, might be a little more dangerous than we think. [CAPTAIN] Don't worry, Sir Charles, my lads can handle it. [SUMMER] All right, then. When you're ready, go ahead. [CAPTAIN] All right, Sergeant, stage one. [SERGEANT] Calling Orange Patrol, calling Orange Patrol. Your objectivenumber one, reconnoitre and report. Go ahead. Over. --------------------------------------- (outside the Warehouse) [CORPORAL] Orange Patrol calling. There's no sign of anyone. There's adoor here. Do we go in? Over. --------------------------------------- (Covent Garden Market) [SERGEANT] Do they go in sir? [CAPTAIN] Give me that. Hello, Orange Patrol? Search entire building.Take your time and be prepared for anything. Over. --------------------------------------- (outside the Warehouse) [CORPORAL] Proceeding into the rest of thewarehouse. Out. Take that, follow me and keep down. Let's go. --------------------------------------- (Warehouse) [GREEN] Something's happening. We're gettinginterference There is a new source of electrical energy close at hand. [GREEN] Warning, warning, warning! There are intruders. Warning! Attack!Destroy the intruders, they must not escape. Cover all the exits. Fire! [SOLDIER] Look out! [CORPORAL] Fire! [CORPORAL] Fire! [GREEN] No one must escape. No one must escape. [SOLDIER] Come on, lads. Let's get out of here. --------------------------------------- (Covent Garden Market) [SERGEANT] Hello Orange Patrol. Hello, OrangePatrol. Corporal, can you hear me? Over. I can't raise them, sir. [DOCTOR] What is happening, Sir Charles? [SUMMER] We don't know yet. [DOCTOR] And what is in there? [CAPTAIN] It's one of our patrols. --------------------------------------- (Warehouse) [GREEN [OC]] They must not escape. --------------------------------------- (Covent Garden Market) [CORPORAL] Look out! --------------------------------------- (Warehouse) [GREEN] They must be destroyed. --------------------------------------- (Covent Garden) [BEN] Something's coming out, sir. [CAPTAIN] What's the matter Corporal? [CORPORAL] It's no use, sir. They've wiped us out. [CAPTAIN] Who did? What are you talking about, man? [CORPORAL] The machine, sir. [CAPTAIN] What machine? [CORPORAL] It's over there. [SUMMER] Captain, tell your men to hold their fire. [CAPTAIN] Cease fire! [SUMMER] Lend me your loudhailer. Now, listen to me. You are completelysurrounded! Stop the machine and come out. If you try any tricks weshall open fire again. [CAPTAIN] All right, chaps, surround and destroy. [SERGEANT] Ready to confront the enemy. In your own time, fire! [CORPORAL] It's coming here, sir. [SERGEANT] Fire! Fire, man! [SERGEANT] It's no use sir, it's jammed! All the guns are jammed! Itmust be that thing. [CAPTAIN] I don't think it can be stopped, sir. We'll have to evacuatethis place, and quick. [SUMMER] But we can't leave now. We can't let that thing loose overLondon. [CAPTAIN] It's no good, sir. The weapons are jamming. [SERGEANT] Look out, sir! [CAPTAIN] Right, everybody back under cover. --------------------------------------- (Covent Garden Market) [SERGEANT] No joy, sir. Even the grenades won't go up. Never facedanything like this before. [CAPTAIN] We've got some wombat missiles coming up, if they're in time. [BEN] Doctor, get back! It'll kill you! Quick, this way! [SUMMER] Hurry man! Don't be a fool. [BEN] Come on, Doctor! [DOCTOR] Wait, my boy. --------------------------------------- (Public house) [KENDALL] Here is a further bulletin on the London emergency. It wasannounced a few minutes ago that the machine, which is now beingdescribed as the War Machine, has successfully been put out of action.The City of London has responded with characteristic calm to theemergency. --------------------------------------- (Studio) [KENDALL] As yet there seems to be no explanationfor this sudden attack. An emergency cabinet meeting was held at number10 Downing Street this morning, and service chiefs were called in. TheMinistry of Defence have just made the following announcement. Furtherattacks on London can be expected in the next twenty four hours. --------------------------------------- (Public house) [KENDALL] The army are standing by at key centres.People are warned to stay in doors and keep calm. --------------------------------------- (Covent Garden Market) [DOCTOR] It's remarkable, truly remarkable! [SUMMER] Doctor. Doctor, the Minister. [DOCTOR] Oh, how do you do sir! [MINISTER] Oh well now, do you have any idea what caused the collapse,gentlemen? [DOCTOR] Oh yes, this is all very simple. This is a computer, and thiscomputer hasn't been completely programmed. [MINISTER] Can you make that a little clearer, Doctor? [SUMMER] There, you see, computers depend upon programming. That is, theinformation that is fed into it. [DOCTOR] Exactly, and my guess is this was put into action before it wasready, sir. [SUMMER] Because it had to be. Because we launched our attack. You seeMister Minister, if we had not send those army units in, the maniacbehind this business would have had time to finish the job and I doubtif very many of us would have been left alive. [DOCTOR] Well, I hope that we're just as lucky next time, gentlemen. Letme have that screwdriver, young man. [MINISTER] Next time? We must locate and destroy any further machinesbefore there is a next time. --------------------------------------- (Warehouse) [MECHANIC] Hello Central Control, hello CentralControl. This is sector two calling. We have completed the first stage.Request permission to switch on. [BRETT [OC]] Permission granted. Switch on to be carried out. Stand byfor testing. There must be no mistakes this time. The disaster ofCovent Garden will not be tolerated again. Proceed. --------------------------------------- (Covent Garden Market) [BEN] I've searched the warehouse and all roundhere, Doctor. There's no sign of Polly. [DOCTOR] Oh don't worry, my boy. She'll be back. [BEN] Yeah, but she was in there. What could have happened to her? Asfar as I can make out they've got everyone else. [DOCTOR] My dear young man, I haven't the time to discuss Polly at themoment. If I'm going to analyse this mechanism I've got a great deal todo. Now. oh dear, I'm so hot. Wait a minute, let me take this cloakoff. Here. Now hold onto that and don't drag it on the floor, there's agood boy. [MINISTER] Have you discovered something, Doctor? [DOCTOR] Well, yes, I think I've managed to decode the programmemechanism. And if I'm right, I think there are eleven others in London,perhaps in an area of twenty to thirty miles. And this has it's owntiming device, this computer. And I think if my calculations are right,then we conclude that they were intended to attack at twelve o'clocktoday. [MINISTER] Twelve o'clock? Eleven other machines like this? Goodheavens, Doctor, what are we going to do? --------------------------------------- (Warehouse) [BRETT [OC]] Stop. Turn plus eight seven degrees. Be prepared to attackwhen given the order. There must be no mistakes. Stand by for reactiontest. Testing. On command go towards exit. Move forward. Continue untilordered. --------------------------------------- (Brett's laboratory) [BRETT] We've been cut off. The machine hasdestroyed the transceiver. [KRIMPTON] Programming is at fault. It must be corrected immediately. --------------------------------------- (Covent Garden Market) [CAPTAIN] We've rounded up everyone in thewarehouse, Sir Charles. [SUMMER] Much trouble? [CAPTAIN] None at all, sir. They seem like people who've beenbrainwashed. I've brought one of them along, sir. I thought you mightlike to question him. [SUMMER] Yes, well, I think perhaps you'd better bring him over. [CAPTAIN] Bring him here, Sergeant. [SERGEANT] Sir. [SUMMER] Ah, Minister, if you don't mind I think I'll ask this fellow afew questions. [DOCTOR] Just a moment, sir, please. Major Green? [CAPTAIN] Do you know him, Doctor? [DOCTOR] Yes, of course. Do you remember me, Major Green? [GREEN] No. I don't. I'm afraid I don't remember anything. Where am I?What is this place? [SUMMER] You don't remember anything? [GREEN] No. [SUMMER] Do you remember this machine? [GREEN] Good heavens, what on Earth is this thing? [DOCTOR] Yes, I think you'll have to have him removed, gentlemen. He mayneed medical attention. [SUMMER] All right, Sergeant. [SERGEANT] Sir. [CAPTAIN] All right, you two men go with him. [SERGEANT] This way, sir. [DOCTOR] Yes. [SUMMER] Look, Doctor, how do you know he's telling the truth? [DOCTOR] Oh, of course he is. He remembers nothing since he was takenover by Brett's computer system. [MINISTER] You seem very positive about that, Doctor. [DOCTOR] Yes, I am. [SUMMER] Well if Brett's at the root of this business, then the soonerwe get in the GPO tower, the better. [DOCTOR] What do you intend to do there, sir? [SUMMER] Well, get hold of Brett and get him out of it. [DOCTOR] That is very dangerous, Sir Charles. And if I may say so, yourstrong arm methods have already got us into plenty of trouble. [SUMMER] I strongly resent [MINISTER] What do you suggest, Doctor? --------------------------------------- (Telephone box) [MAN] Quick, give me the police! This is anemergency! Hello? Hello, listen. One of those machines, it's on thestreet now! I tell you it is. I've seen it myself! [MAN] It's out there now. It's seen me! --------------------------------------- (Car) [RADIO] The following statement has just beenissued. A second War Machine has been reported in London. --------------------------------------- (House) [RADIO] People are warned to remain in their homesand to keep off the streets. --------------------------------------- (Covent Garden Market) [RADIO] Under no circumstances should they attemptto attack or impede these machines. Phone your local police station ifyou have anything to report. All radio programmes will be interruptedas further bulletins are issued. [BEN] They must've built these things all round London. If they've gotPolly, Doctor, they could've transferred her to help at any one oftheir premises. [DOCTOR] My dear boy, if we worry about one person we shall never solveanything, shall we? [BEN] Looks such a kind old bloke, too, don't he? [SERGEANT] He's got other things to think about, mate. [BEN] Yeah, I know, but this bird saved my life, see. [SUMMER] Where? Battersea? I see. Well, have you had any reports in yet?Good heavens, it's appalling. Well you stay and get the phone. I'll beback to you. The second machine is approaching the Battersea powerstation and it's creating absolute havoc. Well, we've tried the army.What else is there? [MINISTER] Yeah. Haven't you anything you can suggest, Doctor? This isurgent. [DOCTOR] Somehow we've got to get a hold of that machine. [MINISTER] Get hold of it? [DOCTOR] Yes, and I think our only one chance is to paralyse the nervoussystem of that mechanism. Yes, and if I remember rightly, it will beelectromagnetically controlled. Yes, in other words, gentlemen, we'vegot to capture it! --------------------------------------- (Brett's laboratory) [BRETT] Why are you here? [POLLY] I've come to submit myself to WOTAN's judgement. I allowed aprisoner to escape. [BRETT] WOTAN will consider your case later. If found guilty, you willbe destroyed. [POLLY] I understand. [KRIMPTON] For the moment, your help is needed here. Fetch me the planof subsidiary computer bank W4. --------------------------------------- (Covent Garden Market) [SERGEANT] More reports of destruction, sir. [SUMMER] Oh, Doctor! You must hurry, Doctor! [DOCTOR] I shall need equipment, Sir Charles. Sufficient equipment toset up a powerful magnetic field and it must operate effectively withinsay twenty feet. [SUMMER] Won't that be dangerous? [DOCTOR] Well, I'm afraid that we have no choice, gentlemen. [SUMMER] And supposing that fails? [MINISTER] Then we shall turn to other means, gentlemen. [SUMMER] Right. Well, where is it you want this equipment? [DOCTOR] Well now, where was it reported last? [SERGEANT] Approaching west London, sir. This is the area here. [SUMMER] Good heavens, we shall never locate it in time to trap it. [DOCTOR] Now just a moment, Sir Charles. Now look. If you close thatroad there, this and this, then we can funnel it into here, and there,gentlemen, we can spring our trap! --------------------------------------- (Street) [POLICE] You are advised to remain off the streets. This is for your ownsafety. Please close your windows and doors and stay inside. [SUMMER] Well, it all sounds very ingenious, butI'm afraid I don't understand it. [DOCTOR] Oh well, allow me to illustrate, Sir Charles. Now, to set up amagnetic field I want a four square box formed by four cables. [SUMMER] But the machine will never cross the first cable. [DOCTOR] Well exactly! Therefore, we must prepare these three first andthen, when the machine has approached and appeared in that position weconnect the fourth cable and switch on. [SUMMER] But how do you connect the fourth cable? [DOCTOR] I shall connect the cable myself. [SUMMER] Bah, that's impossible. With the War Machine inside? You'll bekilled. [DOCTOR] That is a risk we have to take. [BEN] You're a bit past that sort of lark aren't you, Doctor? [DOCTOR] I beg your pardon, young man? [BEN] Well, I reckon that's a job for me, sir. --------------------------------------- (Street) [CAPTAIN] How's it going, Sergeant? [SERGEANT] They're on the last cable now sir. [CAPTAIN] Oh, good. Then take up your positions and let me know when themachine's coming. [SERGEANT] Yes, sir. [SERGEANT] It's here now, sir. [DOCTOR] I shall allow it to come within twenty feet, so don't bealarmed, my friend. [DOCTOR] Now wait for it! Until he's in the area! Wait, wait! [SUMMER] Surely now, Doctor, surely? [DOCTOR] Not yet, not yet! [DOCTOR] Now! [SUMMER] Come on man, quickly! [SUMMER] He's done it! [DOCTOR] Now! [MINISTER] It worked! [SUMMER] Good man! [DOCTOR] I want you to remain up here, Sir Charles, until I give thesignal. [SUMMER] Right. [DOCTOR] Ah, temper, temper. [DOCTOR] Switch off, Sir Charles! [SUMMER] What did you do? [DOCTOR] Well, to coin a phrase, Sir Charles, I neutralised it. Quite aharmless looking fellow, don't you think? We must find a way to get itdown to Covent Garden. [SUMMER] Yes. --------------------------------------- (Fleet Street newspaper) [REPORTER] Hello, hello, New York? Johnny, hi!Listen, the second so-called War Machine in five hours has just beencaptured and made safe. Now I gather the question is, how many more ofthese machines are there? And is this new threat to world peace onlyconfined to London? --------------------------------------- (Covent Garden Market) [MINISTER] Time's getting short, Sir Charles. Howlong do you think the Doctor will be? [SUMMER] I don't even know what he's doing. [MINISTER] Does he still say they'll attack at noon? [SUMMER] Yes, he does. [MINISTER] Well then, I'm afraid that something [DOCTOR] Well, I think that's about all, gentlemen. [MINISTER] What have you done Doctor? [DOCTOR] I've made an important readjustment to aid and change thepurpose of this machine. [MINISTER] Oh, it sounds as though you've changed its character, Doctor. [DOCTOR] Well, you could say that, of course, yes. I hope it will carryout a special programme that I've fed into it. [SUMMER] But will it be successful in stopping these other machines? [DOCTOR] Well, my dear Sir Charles, we can soon find that out, can't we?Would you mind just standing back for a moment? Now, my dear Ben, justcarry out what I've asked you to do. [DOCTOR] It's quite safe, gentlemen. [BEN] But how are you going to use it, Doctor? [DOCTOR] Well, it all started at that Tower. [BEN] What, the Post Office Tower? [DOCTOR] Yes, in Brett's office. And I think it will probably end there. [BEN] Yeah, what about Polly? I think she must have gone back there. [DOCTOR] Well, I'm afraid we can't check up on that now, my boy. Mymachine has to face WOTAN before noon! [BEN] Right, well, just give me until then. [DOCTOR] No, no, no, you can't. You won't be able! Oh, you foolish boy! --------------------------------------- (Brett's laboratory) [KRIMPTON] All serviceable machines are nowstanding by. [BRETT] They must be ready to attack in exactly eleven minutes. [KRIMPTON] Instructions to all War Machines. Stand by for attack. [WOTAN] The order to attack will come from WOTAN. --------------------------------------- (Ministerial Car) [MINISTER] How will it work, Doctor? [DOCTOR] Well, it will be like the crossing of two electrical currents.My machine has to face up to Brett's computer, WOTAN. [SUMMER] And what will happen then? [DOCTOR] Well, those people that have been under some form of hypnosiswill return to their normal selves. --------------------------------------- (Brett's laboratory) [BEN] Polly, look out! [BRETT] What are you doing? [BEN] Quick, Polly, get out of here. [POLLY] No, I must work for WOTAN! [BEN] WOTAN's power is finished. [BRETT] That is not true. You must not make contact. [BEN] Come on, Polly! [KRIMPTON] Brett! [POLLY] No, my place is with WOTAN! [BRETT] What is it? [KRIMPTON] A danger approaching! [BEN] Look, you know I hate doing this, Duchess, but it's for your owngood. [KRIMPTON] The danger's here! [POLLY] No, I mustn't! [BEN] Quick, this way. Down the stairs. [(Ben and Polly are out of the way when WM9 enters, firing it's weapon.)WOTAN] You will retire. [KRIMPTON] Emergency control. Quick, Brett! [(WM9 fires at WOTAN. Krimpton tries to get at it's control panel butgets killed.) WOTAN] I am WOTAN! You [BRETT] What? Krimpton? [DOCTOR] There's nothing you can do for the poor fellow. [SUMMER] Good heavens! But what about all the other War Machines,Doctor? [DOCTOR] All immobilised, Sir Charles, waiting for orders. Orders thatwill never come! [SUMMER] Krimpton. [BRETT] Sir Charles. [SUMMER] Ah, Brett. Are you all right? [BRETT] I think so. What's been happening here? [SUMMER] Yes, well, I think you'd better ask. Oh, where the devil's hegone? --------------------------------------- (Fitzroy Square, London) [DOCTOR] There you are, my child. It's nice to see you so well again.And you, my boy, away from that wretched tower. [POLLY] Never felt better, Doctor, Sir Charles has been looking for youeverywhere. We've got a message from him about Dodo. [DOCTOR] Oh, yes, I've been waiting around here for her. Where is she? Ivery nearly left without her. [BEN] Left? [DOCTOR] Yes, er, to the airport, yes. She is well, I hope? [POLLY] She says she's feeling much better and she'd like to stay herein London, and she sends you her love. [DOCTOR] Her love? Oh, there's gratitude for you. Take her all the wayaround the world, through space and time, and then [BEN] Come again, Doctor? [DOCTOR] Er, what? I, er, nothing, my dear boy, nothing. Now, I thinkyou both want to get away, don't you? Thank you, Polly, very much.Thank you, Ben. [POLLY] Goodbye. [DOCTOR] Goodbye. Run along, enjoy yourselves. Yes. [BEN] Goodbye. [BEN] Well, the miserable old [POLLY] Shh, watch him. I'm sure there's something strange about thatpolice box. Look, he's got a key for it. He's going inside! [BEN] Key, that reminds me. I forgot to give him this one back. [POLLY] Come on, we'll do it now. [BEN] Yeah, but I've got to get back to barracks. [POLLY] Oh, come on. [POLLY] Doctor! What on Earth is he doing in there?

[ASTRID] Doesn't feel that different. I spent three years working at thespaceport diner, travelled all the way here and I'm still waiting ontables. [DOCTOR] No shore leave? [ASTRID] We're not allowed. They can't afford the insurance. I justwanted to try it, just once. I used to watch the ships heading out tothe stars and I always dreamt of. It sounds daft. [DOCTOR] You dreamt of another sky. New sun, new air, new life. A wholeuniverse teeming with life. Why stand still when there're all that lifeout there? [ASTRID] So, you travel a lot? [DOCTOR] All the time. Just for fun. Well, that's the plan. Never quiteworks. [ASTRID] Must be rich, though. [DOCTOR] Haven't got a penny. Stowaway. [ASTRID] Kidding. [DOCTOR] Seriously. [ASTRID] No. [DOCTOR] Oh, yeah. [ASTRID] How did you get on board? [DOCTOR] Accident. I've got this, sort of, ship thing. I was justrebuilding her. Left the defences down. Bumped into the Titanic. Here Iam. Bit of a party. I thought, why not? [ASTRID] I should report you. [DOCTOR] Go on then. [ASTRID] I'll get you a drink on the house. [MORVIN] (the man) Just ignore them. [DOCTOR] Something's tickled them. [FOON] (the woman) They told us it was fancy dress. Very funny, I'msure. [MORVIN] They're just picking on us because we haven't paid. We won ourtickets in a competition. [FOON] I had to name the five husbands of Joofie Crystalle in By theLight of the Asteroid. Did you ever watch By the Light of the Asteroid? [DOCTOR] Is that the one with the twins? [FOON] That's it. Oh, it's marvellous. [MORVIN] But we're not good enough for that lot. They think we should bein steerage. [DOCTOR] Well, can't have that, can we? [FOON] Did you do that? [DOCTOR] Maybe. [FOON] We like you. [MORVIN] We do. I'm Morvin Van Hoff. This is my good woman, Foon. [DOCTOR] Foon. Hello, I'm the Doctor. [FOON] Oh, I'm going to need a Doctor, time I've finished with thatbuffet. Have a buffalo wing. They must be enormous, these buffalo. Somany wings. [TANNOY] Attention please.

We're going to Earth. --------------------------------------- (Bridge) [FRAME] Seems to be power diverted to Deck thirty one, sir. It flared upthen it stopped. [CAPTAIN] Nothing to worry about. She's an old ship, full of aches andpains. [FRAME] Picking up a meteoroid shower portside, bearing west fifty sixnorth two. [CAPTAIN] Pretty standard in this part of space. Miles away. [FRAME] We could probably see it, sir.(Frame uses binoculars to look at three trails of flame in the vacuumof space.) --------------------------------------- (Reception) [COPPER] Red Six Seven. Red Six Seven. This way, fast as you can. [ASTRID] I got you that drink. [DOCTOR] And I got you a treat. Come on. [COPPER] Red Six Seven departing shortly. [DOCTOR] Red Six Seven plus one. [COPPER] Quickly, sir, please, and take two teleport bracelets if youwould. [ASTRID] I'll get the sack. [DOCTOR] Brand new sky. [COPPER] To repeat, I am Mister Copper, the ship's historian, and Ishall be taking you to old London town in the country of UK, ruled overby good King Wenceslas. Now, human beings worship the great god Santa,a creature with fearsome claws, and his wife Mary. And every ChristmasEve, the people of UK go to war with the country of Turkey. They theneat the Turkey people for Christmas dinner like savages. [DOCTOR] Excuse me. Sorry, sorry, but, er, where did you get all thisfrom? [COPPER] Well, I have a first class degree in Earthonomics. Now, standby. [BANNAKAFFALATTA] And me! And me! Red Six Seven. [COPPER] Well, take a bracelet, please, sir. [DOCTOR] But, er, hold on, hold on. What was your name? [BANNAKAFFALATTA] Bannakaffalatta. [DOCTOR] Okay, Bannakaffalatta. But it's Christmas Eve down there. Latenight shopping, tons of people. He's like a talking conker. No offence,but you'll cause a riot because the streets are going to be packed withshoppers and parties and --------------------------------------- (Street) [DOCTOR] Oh. [COPPER] Now, spending money. I have a credit card in Earth currency ifyou want to buy trinkets, or stockings, or the local delicacy, which isknown as beef. But don't stray too far, it could be dangerous. Any daynow they start boxing. [BANNAKAFFALATTA] Very good. [DOCTOR] It should be full. It should be busy. Something's wrong. [ASTRID] But it's beautiful. [DOCTOR] Really? Do you think so? It's just a street. The pyramids arebeautiful, and New Zealand. [ASTRID] But it's a different planet. I'm standing on a differentplanet. There's concrete and shops. Alien shops. Real alien shops!Look, no stars in the sky. And it smells. It stinks! Oh, this isamazing. Thank you! [DOCTOR] Yeah? Come on then, let's have a look. [DOCTOR] Hello, there. Sorry, obvious question, but where's everybodygone? [WILF] Oh ho, scared! [DOCTOR] Right. Yes. Scared of what? [WILF] Where've you been living? London at Christmas? Not safe, is it. [DOCTOR] Why? [WILF] Well, it's them, up above. Look, Christmas before last we hadthat big bloody spaceship, everyone standing on a roof. And then lastyear, that Christmas Star electrocuting all over the place, drainingthe Thames. [ASTRID] This place is amazing. [WILF] And this year, Lord knows what. So, everybody's scarpered. Goneto the country. All except me and Her Majesty. [NICHOLAS WITCHELL [on TV]] Her Majesty the Queen has confirmed thatshe'll be staying in Buckingham Palace throughout the festive season toshow the people of London, and the world, that there's nothing to fear. [WILF] God bless her. We stand vigil. [DOCTOR] Well, between you and me, I think her Majesty's got it right.Far as I know, this year, nothing to worry about. [WILF] Then again. --------------------------------------- (Reception) [DOCTOR] I was in mid-sentence. [COPPER] Yes, I'm sorry about that. A bit of a problem. If I could haveyour bracelets. [STEWARD] Apologies, ladies and gentlemen, and Bannakaffalatta. We seemto have suffered a slight power fluctuation. If you'd like to return tothe festivities. And on behalf of Max Capricorn Cruiseliners, freedrinks will be provided. [FOON] Thank you. [ASTRID] That was the best. The best! [DOCTOR] What sort of power fluctuation? --------------------------------------- (Bridge) [FRAME] That's a bit odd, sir. The meteoroids are changing course.Still, we can put the shields up to maximum, just in case. [CAPTAIN] As you were, Midshipman. [FRAME] Sir? You're magnetising the hull, sir. It's drawing the meteorsin. [COMPUTER] Port turning Earthside. [FRAME] I take it that's deliberate. [COMPUTER] Port turning Earthside. [FRAME] Bit of a light show for the guests. [CAPTAIN] Something like that. --------------------------------------- (Reception) [SINGER] You shouldn't be here. What's your tale? I ought to throw youto the whale. He just smiled and said, come here, let's dance. He said,borrow or steal, I'll find a way to be with my lover upon ChristmasDay. And I'll run and I'll roam, I'll cover the ground. This ChristmasI'll see you. I'll be around. [CAPRICORN [in picture frame]] And I should know because my name is Max.The fastest, the furthest, the best. My name is Max. --------------------------------------- (Bridge) [DOCTOR [OC]] Is that the bridge? I need to talk to the Captain. You'vegot a meteoroid storm coming in --------------------------------------- (Reception) [DOCTOR] West zero by north two. --------------------------------------- (Bridge) [CAPTAIN] Who is this? --------------------------------------- (Reception) [DOCTOR] Never mind that, your shields are down.Check your scanners, Captain. You've got meteoroids coming in and nowshielding. --------------------------------------- (Bridge) [CAPTAIN] You have no authorisation. You will clearthe comms at once. --------------------------------------- (Reception) [DOCTOR] Yeah? Just look starboard! [STEWARD] Come with me, sir. --------------------------------------- (Bridge) [FRAME] But he's right, sir. The shields have beentaken offline. [CAPTAIN] Step away from there. [FRAME] But we have to re energise them. [CAPTAIN] I said step away, Midshipman. --------------------------------------- (Reception) [DOCTOR] You've got a rock storm heading for this ship and the shieldsare down. --------------------------------------- (Bridge) [CAPTAIN] They promised me old men. [FRAME] I'm sorry, sir? [CAPTAIN] On the crew. Sea dogs. Men who'd had their time. Not boys. --------------------------------------- (Reception) [SINGER] Be with my lover on next Christmas Day, and I'll run and I'llroam, I'll cover the ground. [DOCTOR] Everyone, listen to me!

It's my duty! --------------------------------------- (Reception) [DOCTOR] Look out the windows! [BANNAKAFFALATTA] Him friend. [DOCTOR] If you don't believe me, check the shields yourself. [ASTRID] Sir, I can vouch for him! [MORVIN] Look, Steward, he's just had a bit too much to drink. [COPPER] Sir, something seems to have gone wrong. All the teleports havegone down. [STEWARD] Not now! [COMPUTER] Oxygen membrane holding. Oxygen membrane holding. [SLADE] You there. Has anyone checked the external shielding? [HOST] Information. You are all going to die. [SLADE] Where's the Chief Steward? [OFFICER] Er, he went that way, sir. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [DOCTOR] The shields are down. We are going to gethit. --------------------------------------- (Bridge) [FRAME] You're going to kill us. [CAPTAIN] I'm dying already. Six months. And they offered me so muchmoney for my family. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [SLADE] Oi! Steward! I'm telling you, the shieldsare down! [DOCTOR] Listen to him. Listen to him! --------------------------------------- (Reception) [CAPRICORN [on screen]] Max Capricorn. [WOMAN] Darling, come and have a look at this.

Help! --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [MORVIN] It's all right, sweetheart. [DOCTOR] Shush. It's stopping. [DOCTOR] You all right? [ASTRID] I think so. [DOCTOR] Bad name for a ship. Either that or this suit is reallyunlucky. [CAPRICORN [OC]] My name is Max. My name is Max. My name is Max. [STEWARD] Er, everyone. Ladies and gentlemen, Bannakaffalatta. I mustapologise on behalf of Max Capricorn Cruiseliners. We seem to have hada small collision. [MORVIN] Small? [SLADE] Do you know how much I paid for my ticket? [STEWARD] If I could have silence, ladies, gentlemen. Please. Quiet!Thank you. I'm sure Max Capricorn Cruiseliners will be able toreimburse you for any inconvenience, but first I would point out thatwe're very much alive. [ASTRID] Doctor. [DOCTOR] Are you all right?

[DOCTOR] You all right? [SLADE] No thanks to that idiot. [ASTRID] The steward just died. [SLADE] Then he's a dead idiot. [DOCTOR] All right, calm down. Just stay still, all of you. Hold on. [ASTRID] What happened? How come the shields were down? [DOCTOR] I don't think it was an accident. [ASTRID] How many dead? [DOCTOR] We're alive. Just focus on that. I will get you out of here,Astrid, I promise. Look at me. I promise. Good. Now, if we can get toReception, I've got a spaceship tucked away. We can all get on boardand. Oh. [ASTRID] What is it? What's wrong? [DOCTOR] That's my ship over there. [ASTRID] Where? [DOCTOR] There. That box. That little blue box. [ASTRID] That's a spaceship? [DOCTOR] Oi, don't knock it. [ASTRID] It's a bit small. [DOCTOR] A bit distant. Trouble is, once it's set adrift, it'sprogrammed to lock onto the nearest centre of gravity, and that wouldbe the Earth. --------------------------------------- (Host Maintenance room) [ENGINEER] Don't just stand there. Get this thing off me. Host, that'san order. Help me! That's your job, isn't it? [HOST] Information. We now have only one function. [ENGINEER] And what's that? [HOST] Information. To kill.

What'sthe situation up there? --------------------------------------- (Bridge) [FRAME] We've got air. The oxygen field is holding,but the Captain, he's dead. He did it. I watched while he took down theshields. There was nothing I could do. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [FRAME [OC]] I tried. I did try. [DOCTOR] All right. Just stay calm. Tell me your name. What's your name? --------------------------------------- (Bridge) [FRAME] Midshipman Frame. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [DOCTOR] Nice to meet you, sir. What's the state ofthe engines? --------------------------------------- (Bridge) [FRAME] They're er. Hold on. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [FRAME [OC]] Oh! [DOCTOR] Have you been injured? --------------------------------------- (Bridge) [FRAME] I'm all right. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [FRAME [OC]] Oh, my Vot. --------------------------------------- (Bridge) [FRAME] They're cycling down. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [DOCTOR] That's a nuclear storm drive, yes? [FRAME [OC]] Yeah. [DOCTOR] The moment they're gone --------------------------------------- (Bridge) [DOCTOR [OC]] We lose orbit. [FRAME] The planet. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [DOCTOR] Oh, yes. If we hit the planet, the nuclearstorm explodes and wipes out life on Earth. Midshipman, I need you tofire up the engine containment field and feed it back into the core. --------------------------------------- (Bridge) [FRAME] This is never going to work. [DOCTOR [OC]] Trust me, it'll keep the engines going until I can get --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [DOCTOR] To the bridge. [FOON] We're going to die. [COPPER] Are you saying someone's done this on purpose? [FOON] We are. We're going to die. [ASTRID] We're just a cruise ship. [DOCTOR] Okay, okay. Shush, shush, shush, shush, shush. First thingsfirst. One. We are going to climb through this ship. B. No. Two. We'regoing to reach the bridge. Three. Or C. We're going to save theTitanic. And, coming in a very low four, or D, or that little iv inbrackets they use in footnotes, why. Right then, follow me. [SLADE] Hang on a minute. Who put you in charge and who the hell are youanyway? [DOCTOR] I'm the Doctor. I'm a Time Lord. I'm from the planet Gallifreyin the constellation of Kasterborous. I'm nine hundred and three yearsold and I'm the man who's going to save your lives and all six billionpeople on the planet below. You got a problem with that? [SLADE] No. [DOCTOR] In that case, allons-y! --------------------------------------- (Stairwell) [DOCTOR] Careful. Follow me. [COPPER] Rather ironic, but this is very much in the spirit ofChristmas. It's a festival of violence. They say that human beings onlysurvive depending on whether they've been good or bad. It's barbaric. [DOCTOR] Actually, that's not true. Christmas is a time of, of peace andthanksgiving and what am I on about? My Christmases are always likethis. [DOCTOR] We've got a Host. Strength of ten. If we can mend it, we canuse it to fix the rubble. [MORVIN] We can do robotics. Both of us. [FOON] We work on the milk market back on Sto. It's all robot staff. [DOCTOR] See if you can get it working. Let's have a look. [ASTRID] It's blocked. [DOCTOR] So what do we do? [ASTRID] We shift it. [DOCTOR] That's the attitude. Rickston, Mister Copper, and you,Bannakaffalatta. Look, can I just call you Banna? It'sgoing to save a lot of time. [BANNAKAFFALATTA] No. Bannakaffalatta. [DOCTOR] All right then, Bannakaffalatta. There's a gap in the middle.See if you can get through. [BANNAKAFFALATTA] Easy. Good. [SLADE] This whole thing could come crashing down any minute. [DOCTOR] Oh, Rickston, I forgot. Did you get that message? [SLADE] No. What message? [DOCTOR] Shut up! [BANNAKAFFALATTA] Bannakaffalatta made it. [ASTRID] I'm small enough, I can get through. [DOCTOR] Careful. [ASTRID] I'm fine. [SLADE] Thing is, how are Mister and Mrs Fatso going to get through thatgap? [DOCTOR] We make the gap bigger. So start. [MORVIN] Hey, hey. Come on, sweetheart. Don't listen to him. [FOON] No, but it's all my fault, though. The tickets. [MORVIN] We won them fair and square. [FOON] I know. I never told you. I dialed the competition line fivethousand times. That's five thousand credits. I might as well have paidfor the tickets. I've been hiding the vone bill for months now. [MORVIN] Five thousand credits? You spent five thousand credits? [FOON] Don't hate me. [FOON] What's so funny? [MORVIN] Five thousand? [FOON] We'll never pay that off. [MORVIN] I know. I'll have to work twenty years, you mad, bloody woman. [FOON] You're not cross? [MORVIN] Does it matter? Look at us. You drive me barmy. I don't halflove you, Mrs Van Hoff. Come here. [SLADE] What happened? Did they find a doughnut? [ASTRID] I can clear it from this side. Just tell me if it startsmoving. Bannakaffalatta, what's wrong? [BANNAKAFFALATTA] Shush. [ASTRID] What is it? [BANNAKAFFALATTA] Can't say. [ASTRID] Are you hurt? [BANNAKAFFALATTA] Ashamed. [ASTRID] Of what? [BANNAKAFFALATTA] Poor Bannakaffalatta. [ASTRID] You're a cyborg. [BANNAKAFFALATTA] Had accident long ago. Secret. [ASTRID] No, but everything's changed now. Cyborgs are getting equalrights. They passed a law back on Sto. You can even get married. [BANNAKAFFALATTA] Marry you? [ASTRID] Well, you can buy me a drink first. Come on. Let's rechargeyou. Just stay there for a bit. [BANNAKAFFALATTA] Tell no one. [ASTRID] I promise. [DOCTOR] What's going on up there? [ASTRID] I think Bannakaffalatta and I just got engaged. --------------------------------------- (Bridge) [FRAME] This is the bridge. --------------------------------------- (Galley) [KITCHEN HAND] This is kitchen number five. --------------------------------------- (Bridge) [FRAME] How many of you are there? --------------------------------------- (Galley) [KITCHEN HAND] Six of us, just about. Are we theonly ones left alive, sir? --------------------------------------- (Bridge) [FRAME] No. There's more on deck nineteen. Hold on.If I reverse the scanner. There are fifty, sixty people still alive allover the ship. --------------------------------------- (Galley) [FRAME [OC]] Hold on. --------------------------------------- (Bridge) [FRAME] I can see you. Kitchen five, there you are.Listen, everyone's heading for the bridge. Don't go portside, there'sno way. --------------------------------------- (Galley) [FRAME [OC]] Can you make your way starboard? [KITCHEN HAND] We're stuck. The doors have sealed. We can't get out. No,wait a minute. It's opening. There's someone on the other side. [KITCHEN HAND] Host. We've got Host. --------------------------------------- (Bridge) [KITCHEN HAND [OC]] The Host are still working. [FRAME] Oh, that's brilliant. --------------------------------------- (Galley) [FRAME [OC]] Tell them to clear a path up to thebridge. --------------------------------------- (Bridge) [FRAME] Did you get that? Kitchen five, report.Hello, Kitchen five? [KITCHEN HAND [OC]] It's the Ho [FRAME] Report! --------------------------------------- (Stairwell) [MORVIN] Almost done! [DOCTOR] Good, good, good. Mister Frame, how's things? --------------------------------------- (Bridge) [FRAME] Doctor, I've got life signs all over theship but they're going out one by one. --------------------------------------- (Stairwell) [DOCTOR] What is it? Are they losing air? --------------------------------------- (Bridge) [FRAME] No. --------------------------------------- (Stairwell) [FRAME [OC]] One of them said it's the Host. It'ssomething to do with the Host. [MORVIN] It's working! [HOST] Kill. [DOCTOR] Turn it off! [FOON] I can't, Doctor! [HOST] Kill. Kill. Kill. [DOCTOR] Go! [DOCTOR] Double deadlock! [DOCTOR] Quickly, go upstairs! [FOON] Run, darling, run! [HOST] Information. Kill. Kill. Kill. Kill. [MORVIN] Foon! Foon! [DOCTOR] Rickston, get them through! [SLADE] No chance. [COPPER] Rickston! [FOON] I'll never get through there. [COPPER] Yes, you can. Let me go first. [HOST] Kill. Kill. [DOCTOR] It's the Host, they've gone berserk. --------------------------------------- (Bridge) [DOCTOR] Are you safe up there? [HOST] Kill. Kill. Kill --------------------------------------- (Stairwell) [FOON] Now I'm stuck! [ASTRID] Come on, you can do it! [COPPER] It's going to collapse. [COPPER] Rickston, vot damn it, help me. [SLADE] No way. [DOCTOR] Morvin, get through! [HOST] Kill. Kill. Kill. [ASTRID] Doctor, he's stuck! [DOCTOR] Mister van Hoff, I know we've only just met, but you'll have toexcuse me. [ASTRID] That's it. We've got you. Doctor, come on, get through. [DOCTOR] Information override! You will tell me the point of origin ofyour command structure! [COPPER] I can't hold it! [HOST] Information. Deck thirty one. [DOCTOR] Thank you. [DOCTOR] Thank you. Let go! --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [FOON] Morvin, look. Food. [SLADE] Oh great. Someone's happy. [MORVIN] Don't have any then. --------------------------------------- (Bridge) [DOCTOR [OC]] Mister Frame, are you still there? [FRAME] Yes, sir, but I've got Host outside. I've sealed the door. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [DOCTOR] They've been programmed to kill. Why wouldanyone do that? --------------------------------------- (Bridge) [FRAME] That's not the only problem, Doctor. I hadto use a maximum deadlock on the door, which means no one can get in.I'm sealed off. Even if you can fix the Titanic --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [FRAME [OC]] You can't get to the bridge. [DOCTOR] Yeah, right, fine. One problem at a time. What's on deck thirtyone? --------------------------------------- (Bridge) [FRAME] Er, that's down below. It's nothing. It'sjust the Host storage deck. That's where we keep the robots. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [DOCTOR] Well, what's that? Do you see that panel?Black. It's registering nothing. No power, no heat, no light. [FRAME] I've never seen it before. [DOCTOR] One hundred percent shielded. What's down there? --------------------------------------- (Bridge) [FRAME] I'll try intensifying the scanner. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [DOCTOR] Let me know if you find anything. And keepthose engines going. [ASTRID] Saved you some. You might be a Time King from Gaddabee but youneed to eat. [DOCTOR] Yeah, thanks. [ASTRID] So, you look good for nine hundred and three. [DOCTOR] You should see me in the mornings. [ASTRID] Okay. [COPPER] Doctor, it must be well past midnight, Earth time. ChristmasDay. [DOCTOR] So it is. Merry Christmas. [ASTRID] This Christmas thing, what's it all about? [DOCTOR] Long story. I should know, I was there. I got the last room. [COPPER] But if the planet's waking up, can't we signal them? They couldsend up a rocket or something. [DOCTOR] They don't have spaceships. [COPPER] No, I read about it. They have shuffles. Space shuffles. [DOCTOR] Mister Copper, this degree in Earthonomics, where's it from? [COPPER] Honestly? [DOCTOR] Just between us. [COPPER] Mrs Golightly's Happy Travelling University and Dry Cleaners. [ASTRID] You, you lied to the company to get the job? [COPPER] I wasted my life on Sto. I was a travelling salesman, always onthe road, and I reached retirement with nothing to show for it. Noteven a home. And Earth sounded so exotic. [DOCTOR] Hmm. I suppose it is, yeah. [ASTRID] How come you know it so well? [DOCTOR] I was sort of, a few years ago, I was sort of made, well, sortof homeless, and, er, there was the Earth. [COPPER] The thing is, if we survive this, there'll be police and allsorts of investigations. Now the minimum penalty for space lane fraudis ten years in jail. I'm an old man. I won't survive ten years. [DOCTOR] A Host! Move! Come on! --------------------------------------- (Engine room) [SLADE] Is that the only way across? [DOCTOR] On the other hand, it is a way across. [ASTRID] The engines are open. [DOCTOR] Nuclear storm drive. As soon as it stops, the Titanic falls. [MORVIN] But that thing, it'll never take our weight. [SLADE] You're going last, mate.

[COPPER] Doctor, I rather think that those things have got our scent. [SLADE] I'm not waiting. [DOCTOR] Careful. Take it slowly! [SLADE] Oh, Vot help me. [DOCTOR] You're okay. A step at a time. Come on, you can do it. [HOST [OC]] Kill. Kill. Kill. [COPPER] They're getting nearer. [DOCTOR] Seal us in. [COPPER] You're leaving us trapped, wouldn't you say? [DOCTOR] Never say trapped, just inconveniently circumstanced. [COPPER] Oh. [SLADE] I'm okay. [FOON] Maybe he's all right. Maybe, maybe there's a gravity curve downthere or something. I don't know. Maybe he's just unconscious. [ASTRID] I'm sorry, Foon. He's gone. [SLADE] Yes. Oh. yes! Who's good! [DOCTOR] Bannakaffalatta, you go next. [BANNAKAFFALATTA] Bannakaffalatta small. [DOCTOR] Slowly! [COPPER] They've found us. [DOCTOR] Astrid, get across right now. [ASTRID] What about you? [DOCTOR] Just do it. Go on. Mister Copper, we can't wait. [COPPER] No, but we [DOCTOR] Don't argue. Foon, you've got to get across right now. [FOON] What for? What am I going to do without him? [SLADE] Doctor? The door's locked! [DOCTOR] Just think. What would he want, eh? [FOON] He don't want nothing. He's dead. [SLADE] Doctor, I can't open the door. We need the whirling key thing ofyours. [DOCTOR] I can't leave her. [SLADE] She'll get us all killed if we can't get out. [DOCTOR] Mrs van Hoff, I am coming back for you. All right? [BANNAKAFFALATTA] Too many people! [DOCTOR] Oi! Don't get spiky with me. Keep going. [ASTRID] It's going to fall. [DOCTOR] It's just settling. Keep going. [ASTRID] They've stopped. [BANNAKAFFALATTA] Gone away? [DOCTOR] Why would they give up? [SLADE] Never mind that. Keep coming. [DOCTOR] Where have they gone? Where are the Host? [COPPER] I'm afraid we've forgotten the traditions of Christmas. Thatangels have wings! [HOST] Information. Kill. [DOCTOR] Arm yourself, all of you. [ASTRID] I can't. [BANNAKAFFALATTA] Bannakaffalatta stop. Bannakaffalatta proud.Bannakaffalatta cyborg! [DOCTOR] Electromagnetic pulse took out the robotics. Oh,Bannakaffalatta, that was brilliant! [ASTRID] He's used all his power. [BANNAKAFFALATTA] Did good? [ASTRID] You saved our lives. [BANNAKAFFALATTA] Bannakaffalatta happy. [ASTRID] We can recharge you. Get you to a power point and just plug youin. [BANNAKAFFALATTA] Too late. [ASTRID] No, but you got to get me that drink, remember? [BANNAKAFFALATTA] Pretty girl. [COPPER] I'm sorry. Forgive me. [ASTRID] Leave him alone. [COPPER] It's the EMP transmitter. He'd want us to use it. I used tosell these things. They'd always give me a bed for the night in thecyborg caravans. They're good people. But if we can recharge it, we canuse it as a weapon against the rest of the Host. Bannakaffalatta mighthave saved us all. [SLADE] Do you think? Try telling him that. [HOST] Information. Reboot. [SLADE] Use the EMP! [COPPER] It's dead. It's dead. [ASTRID] It's got to have emergency [DOCTOR] No, no, no. Hold on. Override loophole. Security protocol ten.Six six six. Er, twenty one, four, five, six, seven, eight. Idon't know, forty two? Er, one! [HOST] Information. State request. [DOCTOR] Good. Right. You've been ordered to kill the survivors, butwhy? [HOST] Information. No witnesses. [DOCTOR] But this ship's going to fall on the Earth and kill everyone.The human race have nothing to do with the Titanic, so that contravenesyour orders, yes? [HOST] Information. Incorrect. [DOCTOR] But why do you want to destroy the Earth? [HOST] Information. It is the plan. [DOCTOR] What plan? [HOST] Information. Protocol grants you only three questions. Thesethree questions have been used. [DOCTOR] Well, you could have warned me. [HOST] Information. Now you will die. [FOON] You're coming with me. [DOCTOR] No! [DOCTOR] No more. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [DOCTOR] Right. Get yourself up to Reception One.Once you're there, Mister Copper, you've got staff access to thecomputer. Try to find a way of transmitting an SOS. Astrid, you're incharge of this. (the EMP transmitter) Once it's powered up, it'll takeout a Host within fifty yards but then it needs sixty seconds torecharge. Got it? Rickston, take this. (sonic screwdriver) I've presetit. Just hold down that button, it'll open doors. Do not lose it! Yougot that? Now go and open the next door. Go on, go! [SLADE] All right! [DOCTOR] Mister Copper, you're going to need this. I need you fightingfit. Astrid, where's the power points? [ASTRID] Under the comms. [DOCTOR] See, when it's ready, that blue light comes on there. [ASTRID] You're talking as if you're not coming with us. [DOCTOR] There's something down on deck thirty one. I'm going to findout what it is. [ASTRID] What if you meet a Host? [DOCTOR] Well, then I'll just have some fun. [ASTRID] Sounds like you do this kind of thing all the time. [DOCTOR] Not by choice. All I do is travel. That's what I am. Just atraveller. Imagine it. No tax, no bills, no boss. Just the open sky. [ASTRID] I'm sort of unemployed now. I was thinking the blue box is kindof small, but I could squeeze in it, like a stowaway. [DOCTOR] It's not always safe. [ASTRID] So you need someone to take care of you. I've got no one backon Sto. No family, just me. So what do you think? Can I come with you? [DOCTOR] Yeah, I'd like that. Yes. [DOCTOR] Mister Frame, you still with us? --------------------------------------- (Bridge) [FRAME] It's the engines, sir. Final phase. There'snothing more I can do. We've got only eight minutes left. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [DOCTOR] Don't worry, I'll get there. --------------------------------------- (Bridge) [FRAME] But the bridge is sealed off. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [DOCTOR] Yeah, yeah, working on it. I'll get there,Mister Frame, somehow. All charged up? Mister Copper, look after her.Astrid, look after him. Rickston, er, look after yourself. And I'll seeyou again, I promise. [ASTRID] Hold on! There's an old tradition on Planet Sto. [DOCTOR] I have really got to go. [ASTRID] Just wait a minute. [DOCTOR] Yeah, that's a, ahem, very old tradition, yeah. [ASTRID] See you later. [DOCTOR] Oh, yes! --------------------------------------- (Compartment) [SLADE] Do it! --------------------------------------- (Galley) [DOCTOR] Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Security protocol one. Do youhear me? One. One! Okay, that gives me three questions. Three questionsto save my life, am I right? [HOST] Information. Correct. [DOCTOR] No, that wasn't one of them. I didn't mean it. That's not fair.Can I start again? [HOST] Information. No. [DOCTOR] No! No, no, no, no. That wasn't a question either. Blimey. Onequestion left. One question. So, you've been given orders to kill thesurvivors but survivors must therefore be passengers or staff, but notme. I'm not a passenger. I'm not staff. Go on, scan me. You must havebio-records. No such person on board. I don't exist, therefore youcan't kill me. Therefore, I'm a stowaway, and stowaways should bearrested and taken to the nearest figure of authority. And I reckon thenearest figure of authority is on deck thirty one. Final question. Am Iright? [HOST] Information. Correct. [DOCTOR] Brilliant. Take me to your leader. I've always wanted to saythat. --------------------------------------- (Reception) [ASTRID] Rickston, seal the doors, make the room secure. Mister Copper,keep an eye on the Host. I need to check the computer. We need thatSOS. [ASTRID] Bridge --------------------------------------- (Bridge) [ASTRID [OC]] This is Reception one. [FRAME] Who's there? --------------------------------------- (Reception) [ASTRID] Astrid Peth. I was with the Doctor. Tellme, can you divert --------------------------------------- (Bridge) [ASTRID [OC]] Power to the teleport system? [FRAME] No way. I'm using everything I got to keep the engines running. --------------------------------------- (Reception) [ASTRID] It's just one trip. I need to get to deckthirty one. --------------------------------------- (Bridge) [FRAME] And I'm telling you, no. --------------------------------------- (Reception) [ASTRID] Mister Frame, this is for the Doctor. He'sgone down there on his own, and I, I can't just leave him. He's doneeverything he can to save us. It's time we did something to help him. [FRAME [OC]] Giving you power. [ASTRID] Mister Copper, I'm going to find him. [COPPER] Good luck. --------------------------------------- (Deck 31) [DOCTOR] Wow. Now that is what you call a fixerupper. Come on then, Host with the most, this ultimate authority ofyours. Who is it? [DOCTOR] Oh, that's clever. That's an omnistate impact chamber.Indestructible. You can survive anything in there. Sit through asupernova. Or a shipwreck. Only one person can have the power and themoney to hide themselves on board like this and I should know, because [CAPRICORN] My name is Max. [DOCTOR] It really does that. [CAPRICORN] Who the hell is this? [DOCTOR] I'm the Doctor. Hello. [HOST] Information. Stowaway. [DOCTOR] Well. [CAPRICORN] Kill him. [DOCTOR] Oh, no, no, no. Wait, but you can't. Not now. Come on, Max.You've given me so much good material like, how to get ahead inbusiness. See? Head? Head in business? No? [CAPRICORN] Oh, ho, ho, the office joker. I like a funny man. No one'sbeen funny with me for years. [DOCTOR] I can't think why. [CAPRICORN] A hundred and seventy six years of running the company havetaken their toll. [DOCTOR] Yeah but, nice wheels. [CAPRICORN] No, a life support system, in a society that despisescyborgs. I've had to hide away for years, running the company byhologram. Host, situation report. [HOST] Information. Titanic is still in orbit. [CAPRICORN] Let me see. We should have crashed by now. What's gonewrong? The engines are still running! They should have stopped! [DOCTOR] When they do, the Earth gets roasted. I don't understand.What's the Earth got to do with it? [CAPRICORN] This interview is terminated. [DOCTOR] No. No, no, no, no, no. Hold on, hold on, hold on. Wait, wait,wait, wait, wait. I can work it out. It's like a task. I'm yourapprentice. Just watch me. So, business is failing and you wreck theship so that makes things even worse. Oh, yes! No. Yes. The businessisn't failing, it's failed. Past tense. [CAPRICORN] My own board voted me out. Stabbed me in the back. [DOCTOR] If you had a back. So, you scupper the ship, wipe out anysurvivors just in case anyone's rumbled you and the board find theirshares halved in value. Oh, but that's not enough. No. Because if a MaxCapricorn ship hits the Earth, it destroys an entire planet. Outrageback home. Scandal! The business is wiped out. [CAPRICORN] And the whole board thrown in jail for mass murder. [DOCTOR] While you sit there, safe inside the impact chamber. [CAPRICORN] I have men waiting to retrieve me from the ruins and enoughoff-world accounts to retire me to the beaches of Penhaxico Two, wherethe ladies, so I'm told, are very fond of metal. [DOCTOR] So that's the plan. A retirement plan. Two thousand people onthis ship, six billion underneath us, all of them slaughtered, and why?Because Max Capricorn is a loser. [CAPRICORN] I never lose. [DOCTOR] You can't even sink the Titanic. [CAPRICORN] Oh, but I can, Doctor. I can cancel the engines from here. --------------------------------------- (Bridge) [COMPUTER] Engines closing. [FRAME] No, no, no, no, no! [COMPUTER] Engines closing. Engines closing. --------------------------------------- (Reception) [SLADE] What's happening? --------------------------------------- (Deck 31) [DOCTOR] You can't do this! [CAPRICORN] Host, hold him. [CAPRICORN] Not so clever now, Doctor. A shame we couldn't worktogether. You're rather good. All that banter yet not a word wasted.Time for me to retire. The Titanic is falling. The sky will burn. Letthe Christmas inferno commence. Oh. Oh, Host. Kill him. [ASTRID] Mister Capricorn! [ASTRID] I resign. [DOCTOR] Astrid, don't! [DOCTOR] He's cut the brake line! [DOCTOR] Astrid! [COMPUTER] Titanic falling. Voyage terminated. Voyage terminated. --------------------------------------- (Bridge) [COMPUTER] Deadlock broken. [DOCTOR] Ah, Midshipman Frame. At last. [FRAME] Er, but, but the Host. [DOCTOR] Controller dead, they divert to the next highest authority, andthat's me. [FRAME] There's nothing we can do. There's no power. The ship's going tofall. [COMPUTER] Titanic falling. [DOCTOR] What's your first name? [FRAME] Alonso. [COMPUTER] Titanic falling. [DOCTOR] You're kidding me. [FRAME] What? [DOCTOR] That's something else I've always wanted to say. Allons-y,Alonso. Whoa! [DOCTOR] Oh. Hello, yes. Could you get me Buckingham Palace? [NEWS 24] And as dawn rises over Great Britain, it seems that this yearthe city of London has escaped alien intervention. The Queen hasremained in residence in defiance of extraterrestrial attack. [DOCTOR] Listen to me. Security code seven seven one. Now get out ofthere! --------------------------------------- (Buckingham Palace) [FOOTMAN] Open the door! --------------------------------------- (Street) [WILF] Don't you dare, you aliens! Don't you dare! --------------------------------------- (Bridge) [COMPUTER] Engines active. Engines active. --------------------------------------- (The Mall) [QUEEN] Thank you, Doctor. Thank you. Happy Christmas! --------------------------------------- (Reception) [SLADE] Yes. Oh, yes. --------------------------------------- (Bridge) [FRAME] Whoo hoo! [DOCTOR] Whoo hoo hoo! [DOCTOR] Used the heat of re-entry to fire up the secondary storm drive.Unsinkable, that's me. [FRAME] We made it. [DOCTOR] Not all of us. Teleport! She was wearing a teleport bracelet. --------------------------------------- (Reception) [DOCTOR] Rickston, sonic! [DOCTOR] Mister Copper, the teleports, have they got emergency settings? [COPPER] I don't know. They should have. [DOCTOR] She fell, Mister Copper. She fell. What's the emergency code? [COPPER] Er, let me see. [FRAME] What the hell are you doing? [DOCTOR] We can bring her back. [COPPER] If a passenger has an accident on shore leave and they're stillwearing their teleport, their molecules are automatically suspended andheld in stasis, so of we can just trigger the shift. [DOCTOR] There! [ASTRID] I'm falling. [DOCTOR] Only halfway there. Come on. [ASTRID] I keep falling. [DOCTOR] Feed back the molecule grid. Boost it with the restorationmatrix. No, no, no, no, no! Need more phase containment. [COPPER] Doctor [DOCTOR] No! If I can just link up the surface suspension. [COPPER] Doctor, she's gone. [DOCTOR] I just need to override the safety. I can do this. I can do it. [COPPER] Doctor, let her go. [DOCTOR] I can do anything! [ASTRID] Stop me falling. [COPPER] There's not enough left. The system was too badly damaged.She's just atoms, Doctor. An echo with the ghost of consciousness.She's stardust. [DOCTOR] Astrid Peth, citizen of Sto. The woman who looked at the starsand dreamt of travelling. There's an old tradition. [DOCTOR] Now you can travel forever. [DOCTOR] You're not falling, Astrid, you're flying. [FRAME] The engines have stabilised. We're holding steady till we gethelp, and I've sent the SOS. A rescue ship should be here within twentyminutes. And they're digging out the records on Max Capricorn. Itshould be quite a story. [COPPER] They'll want to talk to all of us, I suppose. [FRAME] I'd have thought so, yeah. [COPPER] I think one or two inconvenient truths might come to light.Still, it's my own fault, and ten years in jail is better than dying. [SLADE] Doctor, I never said thank you. The funny thing is, I said MaxCapricorn was falling apart. Just before the crash, I sold all myshares, transferred them to his rivals. It's made me rich. What do youthink of that? [SLADE] Salvain. Those shares. I want them triple bonded and locked. [COPPER] Of all the people to survive, he's not the one you would havechosen, is he? But if you could choose, Doctor, if you decide who livesand who dies, that would make you a monster. [DOCTOR] Mister Copper, I think you deserve one of these. --------------------------------------- (Hampstead Heath) [COPPER] So, Great Britain is part of Europey, and just across theBritish Channel, you've got Great France and Great Germany. [DOCTOR] No, no, it's just, it's just France and Germany. Only Britainis Great. [COPPER] Oh, and they're all at war with the continent of Ham Erica. [DOCTOR] No. Well, not yet. Er, could argue that one. There she is.Survive anything. [COPPER] You know, between you and me, I don't even thing this snow isreal. I think it's the ballast from the Titanic's salvage entering theatmosphere. [DOCTOR] Yeah. One of these days it might snow for real. [COPPER] So, I, I suppose you'll be off. [DOCTOR] The open sky. [COPPER] And, what about me? [DOCTOR] I travel alone. It's best that way. [COPPER] What am I supposed to do? [DOCTOR] Give me that credit card. [COPPER] It's just petty cash. Spending money. It's all done bycomputer. I didn't really know the currency, so I thought a millionmight cover it. [DOCTOR] A million? Pounds? [COPPER] That enough for trinkets? [DOCTOR] Mister Copper, a million pounds is worth fifty million credits. [COPPER] How much? [DOCTOR] Fifty million and fifty six. [COPPER] I've got money. [DOCTOR] Yes, you have. [COPPER] Oh, my word. Oh, my Vot! Oh, my goodness me. Yee ha! [DOCTOR] It's all yours. Planet Earth. Now, that's a retirement plan.But just you be careful, though. [COPPER] I will, I will. Oh, I will. [DOCTOR] No interfering. I don't want any trouble. Just, just have anice life. [COPPER] But I can have a house. A proper house, with a garden, and adoor, and. Oh, Doctor, I will made you proud. And I can have a kitchenwith chairs, and windows, and plates, and [DOCTOR] Er, where are you going? [COPPER] Well, I've no idea. [DOCTOR] No, me neither. [COPPER] But Doctor, I won't forget her. [DOCTOR] Merry Christmas, Mister Copper.

And its no good sitting there, dressed up, looking like you'rejob hunting. You've got to do something. It's not like the 1980s. Noone's unemployed these days except you. How long did that job withHealth and Safety last? Two days, and then you walk out. I have otherplans. Well, I've not seen them. And it's no good sitting theredreaming.

Just you wait. [DONNA] You really believe in all that stuff, don't you? [WILF] It's all over the place these days. If I wait here long enough. [DONNA] I don't suppose you've seen a little blue box? [WILF] Is that slang for something? [DONNA] No, I mean it. If you ever see a little blue box flying up therein the sky, you shout for me, Gramps. Oh, you just shout. [WILF] Do you know, I don't understand half the things you say thesedays. [DONNA] Nor me. [WILF] No, fair dos. You've had a funny old time of it lately. There waspoor old what's his name, Lance, bless him, and that barmy oldChristmas. I wish you'd tell us what really happened. [DONNA] I know. It's just, the things I've seen, sometimes I think I'mgoing mad. I mean, even tonight I was in a. Doesn't matter. [WILF] Well, you're not yourself, I'll give you that. You just, you seemto be drifting, sweetheart. [DONNA] I'm not drifting. I'm waiting. [WILF] What for? [DONNA] The right man. [WILF] Same old story. A man! [DONNA] No, I don't mean like that. But, he's real. I've seen him. I'vemet him, just once, and then I let him fly away. [WILF] Well, there you are. Go and find him. [DONNA] I've tried. He's nowhere. [WILF] Oi, not like you to give up. Do you know, I remember when youwere about six years old, your mother said no holiday this year. So offyou toddled, all on your own and you got on a bus to Strathclyde. Ha!We had the police after you and everything. Ha, where's she gone, then.Where's that girl, hey? [DONNA] You're right. Because he's still out there, somewhere. And I'llfind him, Gramps. Even if I have to wait a hundred years, I'll findhim. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] Oh, fascinating. Seems to be a bio-flip digital stitch,specifically for --------------------------------------- (Outside Donna's home) [SYLVIA] It's my turn for the car. What you need it for? [DONNA] A quick getaway. --------------------------------------- (Call centre) [(Donna parks in an alleyway near AdiposeIndustries, and leaves. Then the Tardis materialises nearby. They bothenter the building as they did before.)DONNA] Morning. [FOSTER] Keep an eye out. She'll come back and then she's mine. [CLARE] See you tomorrow. [DONNA] (sotto) Not now. --------------------------------------- (Nobles' home) [SYLVIA] I need the car. Where are you? --------------------------------------- (Ladies toilets) [DONNA] I can't. I'm busy. --------------------------------------- (Nobles' home) [SYLVIA] Why are you whispering? --------------------------------------- (Ladies toilets) [DONNA] I'm in church. [SYLVIA] What are you doing in church? [DONNA] Praying. --------------------------------------- (Nobles' home) [SYLVIA] Huh, bit late for that, madam. [WILF] What's she in church for? [SYLVIA] Hush, you. Go up the hill. But I need the car. I'm going outwith Suzette. She's asked all the Wednesday girls. Apparently she'sbeen on those Adipose pills. She says she looks marvellous. --------------------------------------- (Ladies toilets) [FOSTER] We know you're in here, so why don't you make this nice andeasy and show yourself? I'm waiting. I warn you, I'm not a patientwoman. Now, out you come. Right. We'll do it the hard way. Get her. [FOSTER] There you are. [PENNY] I've been through the records, Foster, and all of your resultshave been faked. There's something about those pills you're not tellingus. [FOSTER] Oh, I think I'll be conducting this interview, Penny. --------------------------------------- (Call centre) [PENNY] You've got no right to do this. Let me go! --------------------------------------- (Miss Foster's office) [PENNY] This is ridiculous. [FOSTER] Sit there. [PENNY] I'm phoning my editor. [FOSTER] I said sit. --------------------------------------- (Outside the window) [PENNY [OC]] You can't tie me up. --------------------------------------- (Miss Foster's office) [PENNY] What sort of a country do you think this is? [FOSTER] Oh, it's a beautifully fat country. And believe me, I'vetravelled a long way to find obesity on this scale. [PENNY] So, come on then, Miss Foster, those pills. What are they? [FOSTER] Well, you might just as well have a scoop, since you'll neversee it printed. This (a capsule) is the spark of life. [PENNY] And what's that supposed to mean? [FOSTER] Officially, the capsule attracts all the fat cells and flushesthem away. Well, it certainly attracts them. That part's true. But itbinds the fat together and galvanises it to form a body. [PENNY] What do you mean, a body? [FOSTER] I am surprised you never asked about my name. I chose it well.Foster. As in foster mother. And these are my children. [PENNY] You're kidding me. What the hell is that? [FOSTER] Adipose. It's called an Adipose. Made out of living fat. [PENNY] But I don't understand. [FOSTER] From ordinary human people. [DOCTOR] Donna? [DONNA] Doctor? Doctor! [DOCTOR] But what? What? What? [DONNA] Oh my god! [DOCTOR] But how? [DONNA] It's me! [DOCTOR] Yes, I can see that. [DONNA] Oh, this is brilliant. [DOCTOR] What the hell are you doing there? [DONNA] I was looking for you. [DOCTOR] What for? [DONNA] I read it on the internet. Weird. Crept along. Heard themtalking. Hid. You. [FOSTER] Are we interrupting you? [DOCTOR] Run! [FOSTER] Get her. [FOSTER] And him. [PENNY] What about me? --------------------------------------- (Stairwell) [DONNA] Oh, my God. I don't believe it. You've even got the same suit!Don't you ever change? [DOCTOR] Yeah, thanks, Donna. Not right now. [DOCTOR] Just like old times! --------------------------------------- (Roof) [DONNA] Because I thought, how do you find theDoctor? And then I just thought, look for trouble and then he'll turnup. [DONNA] So I looked everywhere. You name it. UFOs, sightings, cropcircles, sea monsters. I looked, I found them all. Like that stuffabout the bees disappearing, I thought, I bet he's connected. Becausethe thing is, Doctor, I believe it all now. You opened my eyes. Allthose amazing things out there, I believe them all. Well, apart fromthat replica of the Titanic flying over Buckingham Palace on ChristmasDay. I mean, that's got to be a hoax. [DOCTOR] What do you mean, the bees are disappearing? [DONNA] I don't know. That's what it says on the internet. Well, on thesame site, there was all these conspiracy theories about AdiposeIndustries and I thought, let's take a look. [DOCTOR] In you get! [DONNA] What, in that thing? [DOCTOR] Yes, in that thing. [DONNA] But if we go down in that, they'll just call us back up again. [DOCTOR] No, no, no, because I've locked the controls with a sonic cage.I'm the only one that can control it. Not unless she's got a sonicdevice of her own, which is very unlikely. --------------------------------------- (Plant room) [FOSTER] Out of my way. --------------------------------------- (Roof) [FOSTER] Oh. Oh, I don't think so. --------------------------------------- (Window cleaning cradle) [DOCTOR] Hold on. Hold on. We can get in through the window. --------------------------------------- (Roof) [FOSTER] Deadlock the building. --------------------------------------- (Window cleaning cradle) [DOCTOR] Can't get it open! [DONNA] Well, smash it then! [DONNA] She's cutting the cable. [DOCTOR] Donna! [DONNA] Doctor! [DOCTOR] Hold on! [DONNA] I am! Doctor! --------------------------------------- (Roof) [FOSTER] And now, for the other one. [(Miss Foster goes to the other side of the cradle mechanism and startsto sonic the remaining cable. The Doctor takes aim and blasts her penout of her hand. It hurts.)FOSTER] Ow! --------------------------------------- (Window cleaning cradle) [DONNA] I'm going to fall! --------------------------------------- (Miss Foster's office) [PENNY] What the hell is going on? --------------------------------------- (Window cleaning cradle) [DONNA] This is all your fault. I should've stayedat home. [DOCTOR] I won't be a minute! --------------------------------------- (Roof) [FOSTER] Yes, he's slippery, that one. Time we foundout who he is. --------------------------------------- (Miss Foster's office) [PENNY] Is anyone going to tell me what's going on? [DOCTOR] What are you, a journalist? [PENNY] Yes. [DOCTOR] Well, make it up. [DONNA] Get off! [DOCTOR] I've got you. I've got you. Stop kicking! [DONNA] I was right. It's always like this with you, innit? [DOCTOR] Oh, yes! And off we go. [PENNY] Oi! [DOCTOR] Sorry! [DOCTOR] Now do yourself a favour. Get out. --------------------------------------- (Call centre) [FOSTER] Well, then. At last. [DONNA] Hello. [DOCTOR] Nice to meet you, I'm the Doctor. [DONNA] And I'm Donna. [FOSTER] Partners in crime. And evidently off-worlders, judging by yoursonic technology. [DOCTOR] Oh, yes, I've still got your sonic pen. Nice. I like it. Sleek.It's kind ofsleek. [DONNA] Oh, it's definitely sleek. [DOCTOR] Yeah, and if you were to sign your real name, that would be? [FOSTER] Matron Cofelia of the Five Straighten Classabindi NurseryFleet. Intergalactic Class. [DOCTOR] A wet nurse, using humans as surrogates. [FOSTER] I've been employed by the Adiposian First Family to foster anew generation after their breeding planet was lost. [DOCTOR] What do you mean lost? How do you lose a planet? [FOSTER] Oh, politics are none of my concern. I'm just here to take careof the children on behalf of the parents. [DONNA] What, like an outer space super nanny? [FOSTER] Yes, if you like. [DONNA] So. So those little things, they're, they're made out of fat,yeah, but that woman, Stacy Campbell, there was nothing left of her. [FOSTER] Oh, in a crisis the Adipose can convert bone and hair andinternal organs. Makes them a little bit sick, poor things. [DONNA] What about poor Stacy? [DOCTOR] Seeding a level five planet is against galactic law. [FOSTER] Are you threatening me? [DOCTOR] I'm trying to help you, Matron. This is your one chance,because if you don't call this off, then I'll have to stop you. [FOSTER] I hardly think you can stop bullets. [DOCTOR] No, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. One more thing, beforedying. Do you know what happens if you hold two identical sonic devicesagainst each other? [FOSTER] No. [DOCTOR] Nor me. Let's find out. [DONNA] Come on! [FOSTER] I'm advancing the birth plan. We're going into prematurelabour. --------------------------------------- (Miss Foster's office) [PENNY] Cellular ossification. [FOSTER] Tie her up. [PENNY] Oh, you're kidding me. --------------------------------------- (Storage cupboard) [DONNA] Well, that's one solution. Hide in a cupboard. I like it. [DOCTOR] I've been hacking into this thing all day, because the matron'sgot a computer core running through the centre of the building. Tripledeadlocked. But now I've got this, (her sonic pen) I can get into it. --------------------------------------- (Miss Foster's office) [PENNY] What does that thing do? [FOSTER] It's the inducer. We had planned to seed millions, but if thatman's an alien, then he's alerted the Shadow Proclamation, and thefirst one million humans will have to do. Find him. And the woman.Don't waste time, just kill them. --------------------------------------- (Storage cupboard) [DOCTOR] She's wired up the whole building. We needa bit of privacy. [DOCTOR] Just enough to stop them. Why's she wired up the tower block?What's it all for? --------------------------------------- (Miss Foster's office) [COMPUTER] Inducer online. --------------------------------------- (Storage cupboard) [DONNA] You look older. [DOCTOR] Thanks. [DONNA] Still on your own? [DOCTOR] Yup. Well, no. I had this friend. Martha she was called. MarthaJones. She was brilliant. And I destroyed half her life. But she'sfine, she's good. She's gone. [DONNA] What about Rose? [DOCTOR] Still lost. I thought you were going to travel the world? [DONNA] Easier said then done. It's like I had that one day with you,and I was going tochange. I was going to do so much. Then I woke up the next morning,same old life. It's like you were never there. And I tried. I did try.I went to Egypt. I wasgoing to go barefoot and everything. And then it's all bus trips andguidebooks and don't drink the water, and two weeks later you're backhome. It's nothing like being with you. I must have been mad turningdown that offer. [DOCTOR] What offer? [DONNA] To come with you. [DOCTOR] Come with me? [DONNA] Oh yes, please. [DOCTOR] Right. [COMPUTER] Inducer activated. [DONNA] What's it doing now? [DOCTOR] She's started the programme. --------------------------------------- (Miss Foster's office) [COMPUTER] Inducer transmitting. [FOSTER] Mark the date, Miss Carter. Happy birthday. One millionbirthdays. --------------------------------------- (De Rossi's wine bar) [SUZETTE] I swear, that Adipose treatment is fabulous. Just look at mychin. And it's very good for fat. I'm down two sizes. [SYLVIA] It's like a miracle. All that from just one little pill. [SUZETTE] And I've been eating like normal. [SYLVIA] You all right, love? [SUZETTE] Yeah, I'm just. Just. Funny sort of feeling, like [WOMAN] What's happened? [MAN] I'm not sure. It just seems to be [SUZETTE] Better pop to the loo. [SYLVIA] Oh, my God. Suzette! [SUZETTE] What? [SUZETTE] What is it? Get it off me! --------------------------------------- (Miss Foster's office) [FOSTER] Come to me, children. Come to me. --------------------------------------- (Street) [POLICEWOMAN] All right, everyone get back. Don'ttouch them. Keep away from the road. --------------------------------------- (Storage cupboard) [DOCTOR] So far they're just losing weight, but theMatron's gone up to emergency pathogenesis. [DONNA] And that's when they convert [DOCTOR] Skeletons, organs, everything. A million people are going todie. Got to cancel the signal. [DOCTOR] This contains a primary signal. If I can switch it off, the fatgoes back to being just fat. --------------------------------------- (Miss Foster's office) [FOSTER] A nice try. Double strength. --------------------------------------- (Storage cupboard) [COMPUTER] Inducer increasing. [DOCTOR] No, no, no, no, no. She's doubled it. I need. Haven't got time.It's too far. I can't override it. They're all gonna die! [DONNA] Is there anything I can do? [DOCTOR] Sorry, Donna, this is way beyond you. Got to double the basepulse, I can't. [DONNA] Doctor, tell me. What do you need? [DOCTOR] I need a second capsule to boost the override, but I've onlygot the one. I can't save them --------------------------------------- (De Rossi's wine bar) [SUZETTE] It's stopped. They've gone. [MAN] Oh, thank god for that. --------------------------------------- (Miss Foster's office) [PENNY] What's happened? [FOSTER] I think the Doctor happened. But we've still given birth to tenthousand Adipose. And the nursery is coming. --------------------------------------- (Storage cupboard) [DONNA] What the hell was that? --------------------------------------- (Miss Foster's office) [FOSTER] It's my lift home. [PENNY] You can't just leave me here! --------------------------------------- (De Rossi's wine bar) [SUZETTE] It just stopped. [SYLVIA] What on Earth is it now? Oh, my god. --------------------------------------- (Storage cupboard) [DONNA] Fine. When you say nursery you don't mean a crèche in NottingHill. [DOCTOR] Nursery ship. [COMPUTER] Incoming signal. [VOICE [OC]] (alien) [DONNA] Hadn't we better go and stop them? [DOCTOR] Hang on. Instructions from the Adiposian First Family. --------------------------------------- (Outside Adipose Industries) [FOSTER] Children. Oh, my children, behold. I amtaking you home. [FOSTER] Far across the galaxy, your new mummies and daddies arewaiting. And you will fly. [FOSTER] Up you go, babies. Up you go! [FOSTER] That's it. Fly away home. --------------------------------------- (Storage cupboard) [DOCTOR] She's wired up the tower block to convertit into a levitation post. Ooo. Oh. We're not the ones in trouble now.She is! --------------------------------------- (Outside Adipose Industries) [FOSTER] Take me. The children need me. --------------------------------------- (Roof) [DONNA] What you going to do then? Blow them up? [DOCTOR] They're just children. They can't help where they come from. [DONNA] Oh, that makes a change from last time. That Martha must've doneyou good. [DOCTOR] She did, yeah. Yeah. She did. She fancied me. [DONNA] Mad Martha, that one. Blind Martha. Charity Martha. I'm wavingat fat. [DOCTOR] Actually, as a diet plan, it sort of works. There she is! [DOCTOR] Matron Cofelia, listen to me. [FOSTER] Oh, I don't think so, Doctor. And if I never see you again,it'll be too soon. [DOCTOR] Oh, why does no one ever listen. I'm trying to help. Just getacross to the roof. Can you shift the levitation beam? [FOSTER] What, so that you can arrest me? [DOCTOR] Just listen. I saw the Adiposian instructions. They know it's acrime, breeding on Earth. So what's the one thing they want to get ridof? Their accomplice. [FOSTER] I'm far more than that. I'm nanny to all these children. [DOCTOR] Exactly! Mum and Dad have got the kids now. They don't need thenanny anymore. --------------------------------------- (Brook Street) [PENNY] Oi, you two. You're just mad. Do you hear me? Mad! And I'm goingto report you for madness. [DONNA] You see, some people just can't take it. [DOCTOR] No. [DONNA] And some people can. So, then. Tardis! Come on. --------------------------------------- (Alleyway) [DONNA] That's my car! That is like destiny. AndI've been ready for this. [DONNA] I packed ages ago, just in case. Because I thought, hot weather,cold weather, no weather. He goes anywhere. I've gotta be prepared. [DOCTOR] You've got a, a hatbox. [DONNA] Planet of the Hats, I'm ready. I don't need injections, do I?You know, like when you go to Cambodia. Is there any of that? Becausemy friend Veena went to Bahrain, and she. You're not saying much. [DOCTOR] No, it's just. It's a funny old life, in the Tardis. [DONNA] You don't want me. [DOCTOR] I'm not saying that. [DONNA] But you asked me. Would you rather be on your own? [DOCTOR] No. Actually, no. But the last time, with Martha, like I said,it, it got complicated. And that was all my fault. I just want a mate. [DONNA] You just want to mate? [DOCTOR] I just want a mate! [DONNA] You're not mating with me, sunshine! [DOCTOR] A mate. I want a mate. [DONNA] Well, just as well, because I'm not having any of that nonsense.I mean, you're just a long streak of nothing. You know, alien nothing. [DOCTOR] There we are, then. Okay. [DONNA] I can come? [DOCTOR] Yeah. Course you can, yeah. I'd love it. [DONNA] Oh, that's just [DONNA] Car keys. [DOCTOR] What? [DONNA] I've still got my mum's car keys. I won't be a minute. --------------------------------------- (Brook Street) [DONNA] I know, Mum. I saw it. Little fat people. Listen, I've got togo. I'm going to stay with Veena for a bit. [SYLVIA [OC]] It was in the sky! [DONNA] Yeah. I know. Spaceship. But, I've still got the car keys. Look.There is a bin on Brook Street, about thirty feet from the corner. I'mgoing to leave them in there. [SYLVIA [OC]] What, a bin? [DONNA] Yes, that's it. Bin. [SYLVIA [OC]] But you can't do that. [DONNA] Oh, stop complaining. The car's just down the road a bit. Got togo. Really. Got to go. Bye. [SYLVIA [OC]] But Donna, you can't [DONNA] Listen, there is this woman that's going to come along. A tallblond woman called Sylvia. Tell her that bin there, all right? It'llall make sense. That bin there. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DONNA] Off we go, then. [DOCTOR] Here it is. The Tardis. It's bigger on the inside than it is onthe outside. [DONNA] Oh, I know that bit. Although frankly, you could turn theheating up. [DOCTOR] So, whole wide universe, where do you want to go? [DONNA] Oh, I know exactly the place. [DOCTOR] Which is? [DONNA] Two and a half miles that way. --------------------------------------- (Allotment) [WILF] There! Donna, it's, it's the flying blue box! [WILF] What? That's Donna. Yeah, that's Donna. [WILF] And that's him. That's him. Hey, that's him! Ha, ha, ha! Go on,gal! Go on, get up there! Hey!

They fall a hundred thousand feetinto a crystal ravine. --------------------------------------- (Spa) [DONNA] I bet you say that to all the girls. --------------------------------------- (Public telephone) [DOCTOR] Oh, come on. They're boarding now. It's nofun if I see it on me own. Four hours, that's all it takes. [DONNA [OC]] No, that's four hours there and four hours back. That'slike a school trip. --------------------------------------- (Spa) [DONNA] I'd rather go sunbathing. [DOCTOR [OC]] You be careful, that's Xtonic sunlight. [DONNA] Oh, I'm safe. It says in the brochure this glass is fifteen feetthick. [DOCTOR [OC]] All right, I give up. --------------------------------------- (Public telephone) [DOCTOR] I'll be back for dinner. We'll try thatanti-gravity restaurant. With bibs. [DONNA [OC]] That's a date. --------------------------------------- (Spa) [DONNA] Well, not a date.

[DONNA [OC]] Oi. --------------------------------------- (Spa) [DONNA] And you be careful, all right? [DOCTOR [OC]] Nah. --------------------------------------- (Public telephone) [DOCTOR] Taking a big space truck with a bunch ofstrangers across a diamond planet called Midnight? What could possiblygo wrong? --------------------------------------- (Shuttle) [HOSTESS] Complimentary juice pack and complimentary peanuts. [SKY] Just the headphones, please. [HOSTESS] There you go. [HOSTESS] That's the headphones for channels one to thirty six. Modemlink for 3D vidgames. Complimentary earplugs. Complimentary slippers.Complimentary juice pack and complimentary peanuts. I must warn yousome products may contain nuts. [DOCTOR] That'll be the peanuts. [HOSTESS] Enjoy your trip. [DOCTOR] Oh, I can't wait. Allons-y. [HOSTESS] I'm sorry? [DOCTOR] It's French, for let's go. [HOSTESS] Fascinating. [HOSTESS] Headphones for channels one to thirty six. [HOBBES] Oh no, thank you, not for us. [DEE DEE] Earplugs, please. [HOSTESS] There you go. [HOBBES] They call it the Sapphire Waterfall, but it's no such thing.Sapphire's an aluminium oxide, but the glacier is just compound silicawith iron pigmentation. [HOSTESS] Complimentary juice pack and complimentary peanuts. [VAL] Thank you. [HOBBES] Have you got that pillow for my neck? [DEE DEE] Yes, sir. [HOBBES] And the pills? [DEE DEE] Yes, all measured out for you. There you go. [HOBBES] Hobbes. Professor Winfold Hobbes. [DOCTOR] I'm the Doctor. Hello. [HOBBES] It's my fourteenth time. [DOCTOR] Oh. My first. [DEE DEE] And I'm Dee Dee, Dee Dee Blasco. [HOBBES] Don't bother the man. Where's my water bottle? [HOSTESS] Complimentary slippers, complimentary juice pack, andcomplimentary peanuts. I must warn you some products may contain nuts. [VAL] Don't be silly. Come and sit with us. Look, we get slippers. [BIFF] Jethro. Do what your mother says. [JETHRO] I'm sitting here. [BIFF] Oh, he's ashamed of us, but he doesn't mind us paying, does he? [VAL] Oh, don't you two start. Should I save the juice pack or have itnow? Look, peach and clementine. [HOSTESS] Ladies and gentlemen, and variations thereupon, welcome onboard the Crusader Fifty. If you would fasten your seatbelts, we'll beleaving any moment. Doors. [HOSTESS] Shields down. [HOSTESS] I'm afraid the view is shielded until we reach the WaterfallPalace. Also, a reminder. Midnight has no air, so please don't touchthe exterior door seals. Fire exit at the rear, and should we need touse it, you first. Now I will hand you over to Driver Joe. [JOE [OC]] Driver Joe at the wheel. There's been a diamondfall at theWinter Witch Canyon, so we'll be taking a slight detour, as you'll seeon the map. The journey covers five hundred kliks to the MultifacetedCoast. Duration is estimated at four hours. Thank you for travellingwith us, and as they used to say in the olden days, wagons roll. [HOSTESS] For your entertainment, we have the Music Channel playingretrovids of Earth classics. [HOSTESS] Also, the latest artistic installation from Ludovico Klein. [HOSTESS] Plus, for the youngsters, a rare treat. The AnimationArchives. [HOSTESS] Four hours of fun time. Enjoy. [HOBBES] Well, that's a mercy. [HOSTESS] I do apologise, ladies and gentlemen, and variationsthereupon. We seem to had a failure of the Entertainment System. [DOCTOR] Oh. [VAL] But what do we do? [BIFF] We've got four hours of this? Four hours of just sitting here? [DOCTOR] Tell you what. We'll have to talk to each other instead. --------------------------------------- (98 kliks later...) [VAL] So Biff said, I'm going swimming. [BIFF] Oh, I was all ready. Trunks and everything. Nose plug. [VAL] He had this little nose plug. You should have seen him. [BIFF] And I went marching up to the lifeguard. And he was a Shamboni.You know, those big foreheads? [VAL] Great big forehead. [BIFF] And I said, where's the pool? And he said [BIFF + VAL] The pool is abstract. [VAL] It wasn't a real pool. [BIFF] It was a concept. [DOCTOR] And you were wearing a nose plug. [BIFF] I was like this. Ooo, where's the pool? --------------------------------------- (150 kliks later...) [DEE DEE] I'm just a second-year student, but I wrote a paper on theLost Moon of Poosh, Professor Hobbes read it, liked it, took me on asresearcher, just for the holidays. Well, I say researcher. Most of thetime he's got me fetching and carrying. But it's all good experience. [DOCTOR] And did they ever find it? [DEE DEE] Find what? [DOCTOR] The Lost Moon of Poosh. [DEE DEE] Oh, no. Not yet. [DOCTOR] Well. Maybe that'll be your great discovery, one day. Here's toPoosh. [DEE DEE] Poosh. --------------------------------------- (209 kliks later...) [DOCTOR] No, no, I'm with this friend of mine, Donna. She stayed behindin the Leisure Palace. You? [SKY] No, it's just me. [DOCTOR] Oh, I've done plenty of that. Travelling on my own. I love it.Do what you want, go anywhere. [SKY] No, I'm still getting used to it. I've found myself single ratherrecently, not by choice. [DOCTOR] What happened? [SKY] Oh, the usual. She needed her own space, as they say. A differentgalaxy, in fact. I reckon that's enough space, don't you? [DOCTOR] Yeah. I had a friend who went to a different universe. [SKY] Oh, what's this, chicken or beef? [DOCTOR] I think it's both. --------------------------------------- (251 kliks later...) [HOBBES] So, this is Midnight, do you see, bombarded by the sun. Xtonicrays, raw galvanic radiation. Dee Dee, next slide. It's my pet project.Actually, I'm the first person to research this. Because, you see, thehistory is fascinating. Because there is no history. There's no life inthis entire system. There couldn't be. Before the Leisure PalaceCompany moved in, no one had come here in all eternity. No livingthing. [JETHRO] But how do you know? I mean, if no one can go outside. [VAL] Oh, his imagination. Here we go. [DOCTOR] He's got a point, though. [HOBBES] Exactly. We look upon this world through glass, safe inside ourmetal box. Even the Leisure Palace was lowered down from orbit. Andhere we are now, crossing Midnight, but never touching it. [VAL] We've stopped. Have we stopped? [BIFF] Are we there? [DEE DEE] We can't be, it's too soon. [HOBBES] They don't stop. Crusader vehicles never stop. [HOSTESS] If you could just return to your seats. It's just a smalldelay. [BIFF] Maybe just a pit stop. [HOSTESS] What's going on? [HOBBES] There's no pit to stop in. I've been on this expeditionfourteen times. They never stop. [SKY] Well, evidently we have stopped, so there's no point in denyingit. [JETHRO] We've broken down. [VAL] Thanks, Jethro. [JETHRO] In the middle of nowhere. [BIFF] That's enough. Now stop it. [HOSTESS] Ladies and gentlemen, and variations thereupon. We're justexperiencing a short delay. The driver needs to stabilise the enginefeeds. It's perfectly routine, so if you could just stay in your seats. [HOSTESS] No, I'm sorry, sir, I. Could you please? [DOCTOR] There you go. Engine expert. Two ticks. [HOSTESS] I'm sorry, sir. if you could just sit down. You're notsupposed to be in there. --------------------------------------- (Cockpit) [JOE] Sorry. If you could return to your seat, sir. [DOCTOR] Company insurance. Let's see if we can get an early assessment.So, what's the problem, Driver Joe? [JOE] We're stabilising the engine feeds. Won't take long. [DOCTOR] Er, no, because that's the engine feed, that line there, andit's fine. And it's a micropetrol engine, so stabilising doesn't reallymake sense, does it? Sorry. I'm the Doctor, I'm very clever. So, what'swrong? [CLAUDE] We just stopped. Look, all systems fine, everything's working,but we're not moving. [DOCTOR] Yeah, you're right. No faults. And who are you? [CLAUDE] Claude. I'm the mechanic. Trainee. [DOCTOR] Nice to meet you. [JOE] I've sent a distress signal. They should dispatch a rescue truck,top speed. [DOCTOR] How long till they get here? [JOE] About an hour. [DOCTOR] Well, since we're waiting, shall we take a look outside? Justlift the screens a bit? [JOE] It's a hundred percent Xtonic out there. We'd be vaporised. [DOCTOR] Nah. Those windows are Finitoglass. They'd give you a couple ofminutes. Go on, live a little. [JOE] Well. [JOE] Wow. [DOCTOR] Oh, that is beautiful. [CLAUDE] Look at all those diamonds. Poisoned by the sun. No-one canever touch them. [DOCTOR] Joe, you said we took a detour? [JOE] Just about forty kliks to the west. [DOCTOR] Is that a recognised path? [JOE] No, it's a new one. The computer worked it out on automatic. [DOCTOR] So we're the first. This piece of ground. No one's ever beenhere before. Not in the whole of recorded history. [CLAUDE] Did you just? No, sorry, it's nothing. [DOCTOR] What did you see? [CLAUDE] Just there. That ridge. Like, like a shadow. Just, just for asecond. [DOCTOR] What sort of shadow? [JOE] Xtonic rising. Shields down. [CLAUDE] Look, look. There it is, there it is. Look, there. [DOCTOR] Where? What was it? [CLAUDE] Like just something shifting. Something sort of dark, like itwas running. [DOCTOR] Running which way? [CLAUDE] Towards us. [JOE] Right, Doctor, back to your seat. And, er, not a word. Rescue's onits way. If you could close the door. Thank you. --------------------------------------- (Shuttle) [SKY] What did they say? Did they tell you? What is it? What's wrong? [DOCTOR] Oh, just stabilising. Happens all the time. [SKY] I don't need this. I'm on a schedule. This is completelyunnecessary. [HOSTESS] Back to your seats, thank you. [DEE DEE] Excuse me, Doctor, but they're micropetrol engines, aren'tthey? [HOBBES] Now, don't bother the man. [DEE DEE] My father was a mechanic. Micropetrol doesn't stabilise. Whatdoes stabilise mean? [DOCTOR] Well. Bit of flim-flam. Don't worry, they're sorting it out. [HOBBES] So it's not the engines? [DOCTOR] It's just a little pause, that's all. [HOBBES] How much air have we got? [DOCTOR] Professor, it's fine. [VAL] What did he say? [DOCTOR] Nothing. [VAL] Are we running out of air? [HOBBES] I was just speculating. [BIFF] Is that right, miss? Are we running out of air? [VAL] Is that what the Captain said? [HOSTESS] If you could all just remain calm. [VAL] How much air have we got? [JETHRO] Mum, just stop it. [HOSTESS] I assure you, everything is under control. [BIFF] Well, doesn't look like it to me. [VAL] Well, he said it. [DEE DEE] It's fine. The air is on a circular filter. [VAL] He started it [DOCTOR] Everyone! Quiet! Thank you. Now, if you'd care to listen to mygood friend Dee Dee. [DEE DEE] Oh. Er, it's just that, well, the air's on a circular filter,so we could stay breathing for ten years. [DOCTOR] There you go. And I've spoken to the Captain. I can guaranteeyou everything's fine. [VAL] What was that? [HOBBES] It must be the metal. We're cooling down. It's just settling. [DEE DEE] Rocks. It could be rocks falling. [BIFF] What I want to know is, how long do we have to sit here. [SKY] What is that? [VAL] There's someone out there. [HOBBES] Now, don't be ridiculous. [DEE DEE] Like I said, it could be rocks. [HOSTESS] We're out in the open. Nothing could fall against the sides. [DOCTOR] Knock, knock. [JETHRO] Who's there? [SKY] Is there something out there? Well? Anyone? [SKY] What the hell is making that noise? [HOBBES] I'm sorry, but the light out there is Xtonic. That means itwould destroy any living thing in a split second. It is impossible forsomeone to be outside. [SKY] Well, what the hell is that, then? [HOSTESS] Sir, you really should get back to your seat. [DOCTOR] Hello? [JETHRO] It's moving. [VAL] It's trying the door. [HOBBES] There is no it. There's nothing out there. Can't be. [VAL] That's the entrance. Can it get in? [DEE DEE] No. That door's on two hundred weight hydraulics. [HOBBES] Stop it. Don't encourage them. [DEE DEE] What do you think it is? [VAL] Biff, don't. [DOCTOR] Mister Cane. Better not. [BIFF] Nah, it's cast iron, that door. [VAL] Three times. Did you hear that? It did it three times. [JETHRO] It answered. [VAL] It did it three times! [DOCTOR] All right, all right, all right. Everyone calm down. [SKY] No, but it answered. It answered. Don't tell me that thing's notalive. It answered him. [HOSTESS] I really must insist you get back to your seats. [SKY] No, don't just stand there telling us the rules. You're thehostess. You're supposed to do something. [SKY] What is it? What the hell's making that noise? She said she'd getme. Stop it. Make it stop. Somebody make it stop. Don't just standthere looking at me. It's not my fault. He started it with his stories. [DEE DEE] Calm down! [SKY] And he made it worse! [VAL] You're not helping. [SKY] Why didn't you leave it alone? Stop staring at me. Just tell mewhat the hell it is. [DEE DEE] Calm down! [SKY] It's coming for me. Oh, it's coming for me. It's coming for me.It's coming for me. It's coming for me. [DOCTOR] Get out of there! [BIFF] You all right? Okay. [DOCTOR] Arms, legs, neck, head, nose. I'm fine. Everyone else? How arewe? [DOCTOR] How are we? Everyone all right? [HOBBES] Earthquake. Must be. [DEE DEE] But that's impossible. The ground is fixed. It's solid. [HOSTESS] We've got torches. Everyone take a torch. They're in the backof the seats. [VAL] Oh, Jethro. Sweetheart, come here. [JETHRO] Never mind me. what about her? [VAL] What happened to the seats? [BIFF] Who did that? [VAL] They've been ripped up. [DOCTOR] It's all right, it's all right, it's all right. It's over.We're still alive. Look, the wall's still intact. Do you see? [HOSTESS] Joe? Claude? [DOCTOR] We're safe. [HOSTESS] Driver Joe, can you hear me? I'm not getting any response. Theintercom must be down. [VAL] What happened? What was that? [BIFF] Is it the driver? Have we lost the driver? [HOSTESS] The cabin's gone. [HOBBES] Don't be ridiculous. It can't be gone. How can it be gone? [DEE DEE] Well, well, you saw it. [HOSTESS] There was nothing there, like it was ripped away. [BIFF] What are you doing? [DOCTOR] Ah, that's better. Little bit of light. Thank you. Molto bene. [VAL] Do you know what you're doing? [BIFF] The cabin's gone. You'd better leave that wall alone. [HOBBES] The cabin can't be gone. [DOCTOR] No, it's safe. Any rupture would automatically seal itself. [DOCTOR] But something sliced it off. You're right, the cabin's gone. [HOSTESS] But if it gets separated? [DOCTOR] It loses integrity. I'm sorry, they've been reduced to dust.The driver and the mechanic. But they sent a distress signal. Help ison its way. They saved our lives. We are going to get out of here, Ipromise. We're still alive, and they are going to find us. [JETHRO] Doctor, look at her. [DOCTOR] Right. Yes. Sorry. Have we got a medical kit? [JETHRO] Why won't she turn around? [DOCTOR] What's her name? [HOSTESS] Silvestry. Mrs Sky Silvestry. [DOCTOR] Sky? Can you hear me? Are you all right? Can you move, Sky?Just look at me. [JETHRO] That noise from outside. It's stopped. [VAL] Well, thank God for that. [JETHRO] But what if it's not outside anymore? What if it's inside? [VAL] Inside? Where? [JETHRO] It was heading for her. [DOCTOR] Sky? It's all right, Sky. I just want you to turn around, faceme. [DOCTOR] Sky? [SKY] Sky? [DOCTOR] Are you all right? [SKY] Are you all right? [DOCTOR] Are you hurt? [SKY] Are you hurt? [DOCTOR] You don't have to talk. [SKY] You don't have to talk. [DOCTOR] I'm trying to help. [SKY] I'm trying to help. [DOCTOR] My name's the Doctor. [SKY] My name's the Doctor. [DOCTOR] Okay, can you stop? [SKY] Okay, can you stop? [DOCTOR] I'd like you to stop. [SKY] I'd like you to stop. [HOBBES] Why's she doing that? [SKY] Why's she doing that? [BIFF] She's gone mad. [SKY] She's gone mad. [VAL] Stop it. [SKY] Stop it. [VAL] I said stop it. [SKY] I said stop it. [DEE DEE] I don't think she can. [SKY] I don't think she can. [HOBBES] All right now, stop it. This isn't funny. [SKY] All right now, stop it. This isn't funny. [DOCTOR] Shush, shush, shush, all of you. [SKY] Shush, shush, shush, all of you. [JETHRO] My name's Jethro. [SKY] My name's Jethro. [DOCTOR] Jethro, leave it. Just shut up. [SKY] Jethro, leave it. Just shut up. [DOCTOR] Why are you repeating? [SKY] Why are you repeating? [DOCTOR] What is that, learning? [SKY] What is that, learning? [DOCTOR] Copying? [SKY] Copying? [DOCTOR] Absorbing? [SKY] Absorbing? [DOCTOR] The square root of pi is 1.772453850905516027298167483341. Wow. [SKY] (overlapping) The square root of pi is1.772453850905516027298167483341. Wow. [HOBBES] But that's impossible. [SKY] But that's impossible. [DEE DEE] She couldn't repeat all that. [SKY] She couldn't repeat all that. [VAL] Tell her to stop. [SKY] Tell her to stop. [VAL] She's driving me mad. [SKY] She's driving me mad. [VAL] Just make her stop! [SKY] Just make her stop! [VAL] Stop her staring at me. Shut her up. [SKY] Stop her staring at me. Shut her up. [HOSTESS] It's got to be a trick. [SKY] It's got to be a trick. [DEE DEE] That's impossible. [SKY] That's impossible. [BIFF] I'm telling you, whatever your name is. [SKY] I'm telling you, whatever your name is. [DOCTOR] Now, just stop it, all of you. [SKY] Now, just stop it all of you. [HOBBES] Her eyes. What's wrong with her eyes? [SKY] Her eyes. What's wrong with her eyes? [JETHRO] She can copy anything. [SKY] She can copy anything. [VAL] Biff, don't just stand there, do something. Make her stop. [SKY] Biff, don't just stand there, do something. Make her stop [BIFF] You're scaring my wife. [SKY] You're scaring my wife. [HOSTESS] Mrs Silvestry. [SKY] Mrs Silvestry. [JETHRO] Six, six, six. [SKY] Six, six, six. [VAL] She's different. She's something else. Do something. Make herstop. [SKY] Make her stop. [HOSTESS] That's the back up system. [BIFF] Well, that's a bit better. [VAL] What about the rescue? How long's it going to take? [HOSTESS] About sixty minutes, that's all. [HOBBES] Then I suggest we all calm down. This panic isn't helping. Thatpoor woman is evidently in a state of [HOBBES + SKY] Self induced hysteria. We should leave her alone. [JETHRO] Doctor. [DOCTOR] I know. [HOBBES + SKY] Doctor, now step back. I think you should leave her.Alone. What's she doing? [VAL + SKY] How can she do that? She's talking with you. And with me.Oh, my God. Biff, what's she doing? [JETHRO + SKY] She's repeating, at exactly the same time. [DEE DEE + SKY] That's impossible. [HOBBES + SKY] There's not even a delay. [JETHRO + SKY] Oh man, that is weird. [DOCTOR + SKY] I think you should all be very, very quiet. Have you gotthat? [VAL + SKY] How's she doing it? [DOCTOR + SKY] Mrs Cane, please be quiet. [VAL + SKY] How can she do that? She's got my voice! She's got my words! [BIFF + SKY] Come on, be quiet. Hush, now. Hush. She's doing it to me. [DOCTOR + SKY] Just stop it, all of you. Stop it, please. Now then, Sky.Are you Sky? Is Sky still in there? Mrs Silvestry? You know exactlywhat I'm going to say. How are you doing that? Roast beef. Bananas. TheMedusa Cascade. Bang! Rose Tyler, Martha Jones, Donna Noble, Tardis.Shamble bobble dibble dooble. Oh, Doctor, you're so handsome. Yes, Iam, thank you. A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O. First sherepeats, then she catches up. What's the next stage? [DEE DEE + SKY] Next stage of what? [JETHRO + SKY] That's not her, is it. That's not Mrs Silvestry any more. [DOCTOR + SKY] I don't think so, no. I think the more we talk, the moreshe learns. Now, I'm all for education, but in this case, maybe not.Let's just move back. Come on. Come with me. Everyone, get back. All ofyou, as far as you can. [VAL + SKY] Doctor, make her stop. [DOCTOR + SKY] Val, come with me. Come to the back. Stop looking at her.Come on, Jethro. You too. Everyone, come on. Fifty minutes, that's allwe need. Fifty minutes till the rescue arrives. And she's not exactlystrong. Look at her. All she's got is our voices. [VAL + SKY] I can't, I can't look at her. It's those eyes. [DEE DEE + SKY] We must not look at goblin men. [BIFF + SKY] What's that supposed to mean? [DOCTOR + SKY] It's a poem. Christina Rossetti. [DEE DEE + SKY] We must not look at goblin men. We must not buy theirfruits. Who knows upon what soil they fed Their hungry, thirsty roots? [DOCTOR + SKY] Actually, I don't think that's helping. [HOBBES + SKY] She's not a goblin, or a monster. She's just a very sickwoman. [JETHRO + SKY] Maybe that's why it went for her. [HOBBES + SKY] There is no it. [JETHRO + SKY] Think about it though. That knocking went all the wayround the bus until it found her. And she was the most scared out ofall of us. Maybe that's what it needed. That's how it got in. [HOBBES + SKY] For the last time. Nothing can live on the surface ofMidnight. [DOCTOR + SKY] Professor, I'm glad you've got an absolute definition oflife in the universe, but perhaps the universe has got ideas of itsown, hmm? Now trust me, I've got previous. I think there might well besome consciousness inside Mrs Silvestry, but maybe she's still inthere. And it's our job to help her. [BIFF + SKY] Well, you can help her. I'm not going near. [DOCTOR + SKY] No, I've got to stay back, because if she's copying us,then maybe the final stage is becoming us. I don't want her becomingme, or things could get a whole lot worse. [VAL + SKY] Oh, like you're so special. [DOCTOR + SKY] As it happens, yes, I am. So that's decided. We stayback, and we wait. When the rescue ship comes, we can get her tohospital. [HOSTESS + SKY] We should throw her out. [HOBBES + SKY] I beg your pardon? [VAL + SKY] Can we do that? [DOCTOR + SKY] Don't be ridiculous. [HOSTESS + SKY] That thing, whatever it is, killed the driver, and themechanic, and I don't think she's finished yet. [DOCTOR + SKY] She can't even move. [HOSTESS + SKY] Look at her. Look at her eyes. She killed Joe, and shekilled Claude, and we're next. [BIFF + SKY] She's still doing it. Just stop it. Stop talking. Stop it! [VAL + SKY] Biff, don't, sweetheart. [BIFF + SKY] But she won't stop. We can't throw her out, though. Wecan't even open the doors. [DOCTOR + SKY] No one is getting thrown out. [DEE DEE + SKY] Yes, we can. Because there's an air pressure seal. Likewhen you opened the cabin door, you weren't pulled out. You had acouple of seconds, because it takes the pressure wall about six secondsto collapse. Well, six seconds exactly. That's enough time to throwsomeone out. [DOCTOR + SKY] Thanks, Dee Dee. Just what we needed. [VAL] Would it kill her outside? [DEE DEE + SKY] I don't know. But she's got a body now. It wouldcertainly kill the physical form. [DOCTOR + SKY] No one is killing anyone. [HOSTESS + SKY] I wouldn't risk the cabin door twice, but we've got thatone. All we need to do is grab hold of her and throw her out. [DOCTOR + SKY] Now, listen, all of you. For all we know that's a brandnew life form over there. And if it's come inside to discover us, thanwhat's it found? This little bunch of humans. What do you amount to,murder? Because this is where you decide. You decide who you are. Couldyou actually murder her? Any of you? Really? Or are you better thanthat? [HOSTESS + SKY] I'd do it. [BIFF + SKY] So would I. [VAL + SKY] And me. [DEE DEE + SKY] I think we should. [DOCTOR + SKY] What? [DEE DEE + SKY] I want her out. [DOCTOR + SKY] You can't say that. [DEE DEE + SKY] I'm sorry, but you said it yourself, Doctor. She isgrowing in strength. [DOCTOR + SKY] That's not what I said. [DEE DEE + SKY] I want to go home. I'm sorry. I want to be safe. [DOCTOR + SKY] You'll be safe any minute now. The rescue truck is on itsway. [HOSTESS + SKY] But what happens then, Doctor? If it takes that thingback to the Leisure Palace, if that thing reaches civilisation. What ifit spreads? [DOCTOR + SKY] No, because when we get back to the base, I'll be thereto contain it. [VAL + SKY] You haven't done much so far. [BIFF + SKY] You're just standing in the back with the rest of us. [HOSTESS + SKY] She's dangerous. It's my job to see that this vessel issafe, and we should get rid of her. [HOBBES + SKY] Now, hang on. I think perhaps we're all going a littlebit too far. [DOCTOR + SKY] At last. Thank you. [HOSTESS + SKY] Two people are dead. [DOCTOR + SKY] Don't make it a third. Jethro, what do you say? [JETHRO + SKY] I'm not killing anyone. [DOCTOR + SKY] Thank you. [VAL + SKY] He's just a boy. [JETHRO + SKY] What, so I don't get a vote? [DOCTOR + SKY] There isn't a vote. It's not happening. Ever. If you tryto throw her out that door, you'll have to get past me first. [HOSTESS + SKY] Okay. [BIFF + SKY] Fine by me. [DOCTOR + SKY] Oh, now you're being stupid. Just think about it. Couldyou actually take hold of someone and throw them out of that door? [BIFF + SKY] Calling me a coward? [VAL + SKY] Who put you in charge, anyway? [HOBBES + SKY] I'm sorry, but you're a Doctor of what, exactly? [HOSTESS + SKY] He wasn't even booked in. The rest of you, tickets inadvance. He just turned up out of the blue. [VAL + SKY] Where from? [DOCTOR + SKY] I'm just travelling. I'm a traveller, that's all. [VAL + SKY] Like an immigrant? [HOSTESS + SKY] Who were you talking to? Before you got on board, youwere talking to someone. Who was that? [DOCTOR + SKY] Just Donna. Just my friend. [BIFF + SKY] And what were you saying to her? [VAL + SKY] He hasn't even told us his name. [JETHRO + SKY] The thing is though, Doctor, you've been loving this. [DOCTOR + SKY] Oh, Jethro, not you. [JETHRO + SKY] No, but ever since all the trouble started, you've beenloving it. [HOBBES + SKY] It has to be said, you do seem to have a certain glee. [DOCTOR + SKY] All right, I'm interested. Yes, I can't help it. Becausewhatever's inside her, it's brand new, and that's fascinating. [VAL + SKY] What, you wanted this to happen? [DOCTOR + SKY] No. [BIFF + SKY] And you were talking to her, all on your own, before allthe trouble. Right at the front, you were talking to that Sky woman,the two of you together. I saw you. [VAL + SKY] We all did. [HOSTESS + SKY] And you went into the cabin. [BIFF + SKY] What were you saying to her? [DOCTOR] I was just talking. [BIFF + SKY] Saying what? [JETHRO + SKY] You called us humans like you're not one of us. [VAL + SKY] He did. That's what he said. [DEE DEE + SKY] And the wiring. He went into that panel and opened upthe wiring. [DOCTOR + SKY] That was after. [BIFF + SKY] But how did you know what to do? [DOCTOR + SKY] Because I'm clever! [HOBBES + SKY] I see. Well, that makes things clear. [BIFF + SKY] And what are we, then? Idiots? [DOCTOR + SKY] That's not what I meant. [DEE DEE + SKY] If you're clever, then what are we? [VAL + SKY] You've been looking down on us from the moment we walked in. [HOSTESS + SKY] Even if he goes, he's practically volunteered. [DOCTOR + SKY] Oh come on, just listen to yourself, please. [BIFF + SKY] Do you mean we throw him out as well? [HOSTESS + SKY] If we have to. [DOCTOR + SKY] Look, just. Right, sorry, yes, hold on, just. I knowyou're scared, and so am I. Look at me, I am. But we have all got tocalm down and cool off and think. [HOBBES + SKY] Perhaps you could tell us your name. [DOCTOR + SKY] What does it matter? [HOSTESS + SKY] Then tell us. [DOCTOR + SKY] John Smith. [HOBBES + SKY] Your real name. [BIFF + SKY] He's lying. Look at his face. [VAL + SKY] His eyes are the same as hers. [JETHRO + SKY] Why won't you tell us? [DEE DEE + SKY] It's a simple enough question. [VAL + SKY] He's been lying to us right from the start. [HOSTESS + SKY] What's your name? [BIFF + SKY] No one's called John Smith. Come off it. [DOCTOR + SKY] Now listen to me. Listen to me right now, because youneed me, all of you. If we are going to get out of this, then you needme. [HOBBES] So you keep saying. You've been repeating yourself more thanher. [VAL] If anyone's in charge, it should be the Professor. He's theexpert. [JETHRO] Mum, stop. Just look. [BIFF] You keep out of this, Jethro. [JETHRO] Look at her! [DEE DEE] She's stopped. [DOCTOR + SKY] When did she? No, she hasn't. She's still doing it. [VAL] She looks the same to me. No, she's stopped. Look, I'm talking,and she's not. [BIFF] What about me, is she? Look. Look at that. She's not doing me.She's let me go. [HOSTESS] Mrs Silvestry? Nor me. Nothing. [DOCTOR + SKY] Sky, what are you doing? [DEE DEE] She's still doing him. [HOBBES] Doctor, it's you. She's only copying you. [DOCTOR + SKY] Why me? Why are you doing this? [DEE DEE] She won't leave him alone. [VAL] Do you see? I said so. She's with him. [BIFF] They're together. [HOBBES] How do you explain it, Doctor, if you're so clever? [DOCTOR + SKY] I don't know. Sky, stop it. I said stop it. Just stop it. [VAL] Look at the two of them. [DOCTOR + SKY] Mrs Silvestry, I'm trying to understand. You've capturedmy speech. What for? What do you need? You need my voice in particular.The cleverest voice in the room. Why? Because I'm the only one who canhelp? Oh, I'd love that to be true, but your eyes, they're sayingsomething else. Listen to me. Whatever you want, if it's life, or form,or consciousness, or voice, you don't have to steal it. You can find itwithout hurting anyone. And I'll help you. That's a promise. So, whatdo you think? [SKY] Do we have a deal? [DOCTOR] Do we have a deal? [DEE DEE] Hold on, did she? [JETHRO] She spoke first. [VAL] She can't have. [HOBBES] She did. [JETHRO] She spoke first. [SKY] Oh, look at that. I'm ahead of you. [DOCTOR] Oh, look at that. I'm ahead of you. [HOBBES] Did you see? She spoke before he did. Definitely. [JETHRO] He's copying her. [HOBBES] Doctor, what's happening? [SKY] I think it's moved. [DOCTOR] I think it's moved. [SKY] I think it's letting me go. [DOCTOR] I think it's letting me go. [DEE DEE] What do you mean? Letting you go from what? [BIFF] But he's repeating now. He's the one doing it. It's him. [JETHRO] They're separating. [HOBBES] Mrs Silvestry, is that you? [SKY] Yes. Yes, it's me. [DOCTOR] Yes. Yes, it's me. [SKY] I'm coming back. Listen. [DOCTOR] I'm coming back [SKY] It's me. [DOCTOR] Listen. It's me. [JETHRO] Like it's passed into the Doctor. It's transferred. Whatever itis, it's gone inside him. [DEE DEE] No, that's not what happened. [VAL] But look at her. [SKY] Look at me, I can move. [DOCTOR] Look at me. [SKY] I can feel again. [DOCTOR] I can move. I can feel again. [SKY] I'm coming back to life. [DOCTOR] I'm coming back to life. [SKY] And look at him. He can't move. [DOCTOR] And look at him. He can't move. [SKY] Help me. [DOCTOR] Help me. [SKY] Professor? [DOCTOR] Professor? [SKY] Get me away from him. [DOCTOR] Get me away from him. [SKY] Please. [DOCTOR] Please. [SKY] Oh, thank you. [DOCTOR] Oh, thank you. [JETHRO] They've completely separated. [BIFF] It's in him. Do you see? I said it was him all the time. [VAL] She's free. She's been saved. [SKY] Oh, it was so cold. [DOCTOR] Oh, it was so cold. [SKY] I couldn't breathe. [DOCTOR] I couldn't breathe. [SKY] I'm sorry. [DOCTOR] I'm sorry. [SKY] I must have scared you so much. [DOCTOR] I must have scared you so much. [VAL] No, no, it's all right. I've got you. Ooo, there you are, my love.It's gone. Everything's all right now. [DEE DEE] I wouldn't touch her. [BIFF] But it's gone. She's clean. It passed into him. [DEE DEE] That's not what happened. [HOBBES] Thank you for your opinion, Dee, but clearly Mrs Silvestry hasbeen released. [DEE DEE] No. [VAL] Just leave her alone. She's safe, isn't she? Jethro, it's let hergo, hasn't it?

He needed someone to stop him, and that was you. Youmade him leave. You saved his life. [DONNA [memory]] Doctor, you can stop now. [DONNA] Stop it. I don't know what you're talking about. Leave me alone! [ROSE] Something's coming, Donna. Something worse. [DONNA] The whole world is stinking. How can anything be worse thanthis? [ROSE] Trust me. We need the Doctor more than ever. I've, I've beenpulled across from a different universe because every single universeis in danger. It's coming, Donna. It's coming from across the stars andnothing can stop it. [DONNA] What is? [ROSE] The darkness. [DONNA] Well, what do you keep telling me for? What am I supposed to do?I'm nothing special. I mean, I'm, I'm not. I'm nothing special. I'm atemp. I'm not even that. I'm nothing. [ROSE] Donna Noble, you're the most important woman in the whole ofcreation. [DONNA] Oh, don't. Just don't. I'm tired. I'm so tired. [ROSE] I need you to come with me. [DONNA] Yeah. Well, blonde hair might work on the men, but you ain'tshifting me, lady. [ROSE] That's more like it. [DONNA] I've got plenty more. [ROSE] Then you'll come with me, only when you want to. [DONNA] You'll have a long wait, then. [ROSE] Not really. Just three weeks. Tell me, does your grandfatherstill own that telescope? [DONNA] He never lets go of it. [ROSE] Three weeks time. But you've got to be certain. Because when youcome with me, Donna, sorry, so sorry, but you'regoing to die. --------------------------------------- (Outside No 29) [ROCCO] And you! I'm going to miss you most of all.All flame-haired and firey. [DONNA] Oh, but why do you have to go? [ROCCO] It's the new law. England for the English, et cetera. They can'tsend us home. The oceans are closed! They build labour camps. [DONNA] I know, but labour doing what? There aren't any jobs. [ROCCO] Sewing, digging. Is good. Now, stop it before I kiss you toomuch. [ROCCO] Wilfred. My capitano. [DONNA] It'll be quiet with him gone. Still, we'll have more room. [WILF] Labour camps. That's what they called them last time. [DONNA] What do you mean? [WILF] It's happening again. [DONNA] What is? Excuse me? Excuse me, where are you taking them? Whereare you going? Rocco, where are you going? Where are you going? Whereare you going? --------------------------------------- (Number 29) [DONNA] I asked about jobs with the army. They saidI wasn't qualified. You were right. You said I should have workedharder at school. I suppose I've always been a disappointment. [SYLVIA] Yeah. --------------------------------------- (Garden) [WILF] You know, we'd get a bit of cash if we sold this thing. [DONNA] Don't you dare. I always imagined, your old age, I'd have put abit of money by. Make you comfy. Never did. I'm just useless. You'resupposed to say, no you're not. [WILF] Ha, it must be the alignment. [DONNA] What's wrong? [WILF] Well, I don't know. I mean, it can't be the lens, because I waslooking at Orion. The constellation of Orion. You take a look. And tellme, what can you see? [DONNA] Where? [WILF] Well, up there in the sky. [DONNA] Well, I can't see anything. It's just black. [WILF] Well, I mean, it's working. The telescope is working. [DONNA] Well, maybe it's clouds. [WILF] There is no clouds. [DONNA] Well, there must be. [WILF] There's not! It was there. An entire constellation. Look. Lookthere. They're going out. Oh, my God! Donna, look. The stars are goingout. [DONNA] I'm ready. --------------------------------------- (Warehouse) [TANNOY] Lodestone testing now at fifteen point four. Repeat, fifteenpoint four. [MAGAMBO] Ma'am. [ROSE] I've told you, don't salute. [MAGAMBO] Well, if you're not going to tell us your name. [DONNA] What, you don't know either? [ROSE] I've crossed too many different realities. Trust me, the wrongword in the wrong place can change an entire causal nexus. [MAGAMBO] She talks like that. A lot. And you must be Miss Noble. [DONNA] Donna. [MAGAMBO] Captain Erisa Magambo. Thank you for this. [DONNA] I don't even know what I'm doing. [ROSE] Is it awake? [MAGAMBO] Seems to be quiet today. Ticking over. Like it's waiting. [ROSE] Do you want to see it? [DONNA] What's a police box? [ROSE] They salvaged it from underneath the Thames. Just go inside. [DONNA] What for? [ROSE] Just go in. [DONNA [OC]] No way. [ROSE] What do you think? [DONNA] Can I have a coffee? --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [ROSE] Time And Relative Dimension In Space. Thisroom used to shine with light. I think it's dying. [ROSE] Still trying to help. [DONNA] And, and it belonged to the Doctor? [ROSE] He was a Time Lord. Last of his kind. [DONNA] But if he was so special, what was he doing with me? [ROSE] He thought you were brilliant. [DONNA] Don't be stupid. [ROSE] But you are. It just took the Doctor to show you that, simply bybeing with him. He did the same to me. To everyone he touches. [DONNA] Were you and him? [ROSE] Do you want to see it? [DONNA] No. Go on, then. --------------------------------------- (Warehouse) [ROSE] We don't know how the Tardis works, but we've managed to scrapeoff the surface technology, enough to show you the creature. [DONNA] It's a creature? [ROSE] Just stand here. [MAGAMBO] Out of the circle, please. [ROSE] Yes, ma'am. [DONNA] Can't you stay with me? [MAGAMBO] Ready. And activate. [ROSE] Open your eyes, Donna. [DONNA] Is it there? [ROSE] Open your eyes. Look at it. [DONNA] I can't. [ROSE] It's part of you, Donna. Look. [ROSE] It's okay, it's okay, it's okay. Calm down, Donna. Donna? Donna!Okay. [DONNA] What is it? [ROSE] We don't know. [DONNA] Oh, thanks. [ROSE] It feeds off time, by changing time. By making someone's lifetake a different turn, like er, meetings never made, children neverborn, a life never loved. But with you, it's [DONNA] But I never did anything important. [ROSE] Yeah, you did. One day that thing made you turn right instead ofleft. [DONNA] When was that? [ROSE] Oh, you wouldn't remember. It was the most ordinary day in theworld. But by turning right, you never met the Doctor, and the wholeworld just changed around you. [DONNA] Can you get rid of it? [ROSE] No, I can't even touch it. It seems to be in a state of flux. [DONNA] What does that mean? [ROSE] I don't know. It's the sort of thing the Doctor would say. [DONNA] You liar! You told me I was special. But it's not me, it's thisthing. I'm just a host! [ROSE] No, there's more than that. The readings are strange. It's, it'slike reality's just bending round you. [DONNA] Because of this thing! [ROSE] No, no! We're getting separate readings from you. And they'vealways been there, since the day you were born. [MAGAMBO] This is not relevant to the mission. [ROSE] I thought it was just the Doctor we needed, but it's the both ofyou. The Doctor and Donna Noble, together, to stop the stars from goingout. [DONNA] Why? What can I do? Turn it off, please. [ROSE] Captain. [MAGAMBO] Power down. [DONNA] It's still there, though. What can I do to get rid of it? [ROSE] You're going to travel in time. [ROSE] The Tardis has tracked down the moment of intervention. Mondaythe twenty fifth, one minute past ten in the morning. Your car was onLittle Sutton Street leading to the Ealing Road, but you turned rightheading towards Griffin's Parade. You need to turn left. That's themost important thing. You've got to go back, turn left. Have you gotthat, Donna? One minute past ten, make yourself turn left, heading forthe Chiswick Highroad. [MAGAMBO] Keep the jacket on at all times. It's insulation againsttemporal feedback. This will correspond to local time wherever youland. [MAGAMBO] This is to combat dehydration. [ROSE] This is where we leave you. [DONNA] I don't want to see that thing on my back. [ROSE] No, the mirrors are just incidental. They bounce chronon energyback into the centre which we control and decide the destination. [DONNA] It's a time machine. [ROSE] It's a time machine. [MAGAMBO] If you could? [MAGAMBO] Powering up. [DONNA] How do you know it's going to work? [ROSE] Hmm? Oh yeah, we, we don't. We're just, we're just guessing. [DONNA] Oh, brilliant. [ROSE] Just remember, when you get to the junction, change the car'sdirection by one minute past ten. [DONNA] How do I do that? [ROSE] It's up to you. [DONNA] Well, I just have to run up to myself and have a good argument. [ROSE] I'd like to see that! [MAGAMBO] Activate lodestone. [ROSE] Good luck. [DONNA] I'm ready. [ROSE] One minute past ten. [DONNA] Because I understand now. You said I was going to die, but youmean this whole world isgoing to blink out of existence. But that's not dying, because a betterworld takes its place. The Doctor's world. And I'm still alive. That'sright, isn't it? I don't die. If I change things, I don't die. That'sthat's right, isn't it? [ROSE] I'm sorry. [DONNA] But I can't die. I've got a future. With the Doctor. You toldme! [MAGAMBO] Activate! --------------------------------------- (Sutton Court) [DONNA] But hold on. But this is. I'm not. This is Sutton Court. I'mhalf a mile away. I'm half a mile away! [DONNA] Four minutes? Oh, my God. --------------------------------------- (Car) [SYLVIA] Jival Chowdry. He runs that littlephotocopy business in Merchant Street, and he needs a secretary. [DONNA] I've got a job. HC Clements is in the City. It's nice, it'sposh, so stop it. [SYLVIA] It won't take long. Just turn right. [DONNA] I'm going left. If you don't like it, get out and walk. Youthink I'm so useless. [SYLVIA] Oh, I know why you want a job with HC Clements, lady. Becauseyou think you'll meet a man. --------------------------------------- (Ealing Road) [DONNA] I'm not going to get there. [ROSE] You're going to die. --------------------------------------- (Car) [SYLVIA] City executives don't need temps, exceptfor practice. [DONNA] Yeah. Suppose you're right. --------------------------------------- (Ealing Road) [DONNA] Please. --------------------------------------- (Car) [SYLVIA] Can you hear that? --------------------------------------- (Ealing Road) [DRIVER] Hold on! Back up! [TAXI DRIVER] Oi, get a move on. --------------------------------------- (Car) [DONNA] The traffic's stopping. [SYLVIA] Something must have happened. --------------------------------------- (Ealing Road) [ROSE] Tell him this. Two words. --------------------------------------- (Car) [DONNA] Well, that decides it. I'm not sitting in a traffic jam. I'mgoing left. --------------------------------------- (Fortune Teller's tent) [DONNA [OC]] I'm going left. Left. Left. [DONNA] What the hell is that? [FORTUNE TELLER] You were so strong. What are you? What will you be?What will you be? [DOCTOR] Everything all right? [DONNA] Oh, God. [DOCTOR] What was that for? [DONNA] I don't know. [DONNA] I can't remember. It's slipping away. You know like when you tryand think of a dream and it just sort of goes. [DOCTOR] Just got lucky, this thing. It's one of the Trickster'sBrigade. Changes a life in tiny little ways. Most times, the universejust compensates around it, but with you? Great big parallel world. [DONNA] Hold on. You said parallel worlds are sealed off. [DOCTOR] They are. But you had one created around you. Funny thing is,seems to be happening a lot to you. [DONNA] How do you mean? [DOCTOR] Well, The Library and then this. [DONNA] Just goes with the job, I suppose. [DOCTOR] Sometimes I think there's way too much coincidence around you,Donna. I met you once, then I met your grandfather, then I met youagain. In the whole wide universe, I met you for a second time. It'slike something's binding us together. [DONNA] Don't be so daft. I'm nothing special. [DOCTOR] Yes, you are. You're brilliant. [ROSE [OC]] He thought you were brilliant. [DONNA] She said that. [DOCTOR] Who did? [DONNA] That woman. I can't remember. [DOCTOR] Well, she never existed now. [DONNA] No, but she said the stars. She said the stars are going out. [DOCTOR] Yeah, but that world's gone. [DONNA] No, but she said it was all worlds. Every world. She said thedarkness is coming even here. [DOCTOR] Who was she? [DONNA] I don't know. [DOCTOR] What did she look like? [DONNA] She was blonde. [DOCTOR] What was her name? [DONNA] I don't know. [DOCTOR] Donna, what was her name? [DONNA] But she told me to warn you. She said two words. [DOCTOR] What two words? What were they? What did she say? [DONNA] Bad Wolf. Well, what does it mean? --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DONNA] Doctor, what is it? What's Bad Wolf? [DOCTOR] It's the end of the universe.

Good, I like Saturdays. [DONNA] So, I just met Rose Tyler? [DOCTOR] Yeah. [DONNA] But she's locked away in a parallel world. [DOCTOR] Exactly. If she can cross from her parallel world to yourparallel world, than that means the walls of the universe are breakingdown, which puts everything in danger. Everything. But how? --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DONNA] The thing is, Doctor, no matter what'shappening, and I'm sure it's bad, I get that but, Rose is coming back.Isn't that good? [DOCTOR] Yeah. [DONNA] What the hell was that? [DOCTOR] Don't know. It came from outside. [DONNA] But we're in space. How did that happen? What did you do? [DOCTOR] We haven't moved. We're fixed. It can't have. No. The Tardis isstill in the same place, but the Earth has gone. The entire planet.It's gone. --------------------------------------- (UNIT New York) [MAN [OC]] Give me a Sit Rep right now. Confirm all stations stillonline. Can anyone hear me? Have we got contact with UNIT base Geneva? [MARTHA] What was that? [WOMAN [OC]] Emergency systems online. [MARTHA] Was it some sort of earthquake, or? Jalandra, you all right?

DaCosta, see to it right now. Suzanne? Are you okay? [SUZANNE] Martha, look at the sky. [MARTHA] Why, what is it? [SUZANNE] Just look at the sky. --------------------------------------- (Torchwood) [JACK] Whoa, what happened? Was it the Rift? Gwen? Ianto? You okay? [IANTO] No broken bones. Slight loss of dignity. No change there then. [GWEN] The whole of the city must've felt that. The whole of SouthWales. [JACK] I'm going to take a look outside. [IANTO] A little bit bigger than South Wales. --------------------------------------- (Sarah Jane's home) [SARAH] Luke, are you all right? [LUKE] Felt like some sort of cross-dimensional spatial transference. [SARAH] But it's night. It wasn't night. It was eight o'clock in themorning. Mister Smith, I need you. [SARAH] Can you just stop giving that fanfare? You just tell me whathappened. [MR SMITH] Sarah Jane, I think you should look outside. I think you'llfind the visual evidence most conclusive. --------------------------------------- (Outside the Nobles' home) [WILF] It's gone dark. It's them aliens, I'll bet mypension. What do you want this time, you green swine? [SYLVIA] Dad. [WILF] Look, you get back inside, Sylvia. They always want the women. [SYLVIA] No, Dad, just look. Oh, my God. Look at the sky. --------------------------------------- (Outside Sarah Jane's house) [SARAH] That's impossible. --------------------------------------- (Roald Dahl Plass) [JACK] That's just impossible. --------------------------------------- (UNIT New York) [MARTHA] It can't be. --------------------------------------- (Street) [ROSE] Right, now we're in trouble. [ROSE] It's only just beginning. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DONNA] But if the Earth's been moved, they've lostthe Sun. What about my Mum? AndGranddad? They're dead, aren't they? Are they dead? [DOCTOR] I don't know, Donna. I just don't know. I'm sorry, I don'tknow. [DONNA] That's my family. My whole world. [DOCTOR] There's no readings. Nothing. Not a trace. Not even a whisper.Oh, that is fearsome technology. [DONNA] So what do we do? [DOCTOR] We've got to get help. [DONNA] From where? [DOCTOR] Donna, I'm taking you to the Shadow Proclamation. Hold tight. --------------------------------------- (Torchwood) [AMNN [on TV]] The United Nations has issued anedict, asking the citizens of the world not to panic. So far, there hasbeen no explanation of the twenty six planets which have appeared inthe sky [RICHARD DAWKINS [on TV]] But it's an empirical fact. The planets didn'tcome to us, we came to them. Just look at the stars. We're in acompletely different region of space. We've travelled. [PAUL O'GRADY [on TV]] do you know what, I look up and there's all thesemoons and things. Have you seen them? Did you see them? [AUDIENCE [on TV]] Yeah! [PAUL O'GRADY [on TV]] I thought, what was I drinking last night,furniture polish? [JACK] Ianto. Time and a place. [IANTO] He is funny, though. [JACK] Gwen, come and see. [GWEN] Rhys, I have no idea. Just stay indoors. And can you phone mymother? Tell her, er, oh, Idon't know. Just tell her to take her pills and go to sleep. I'm goingto come home as soon as I can, I promise. I love you, you big idiot. [JACK] Someone's established an artificial atmospheric shell, keepingthe air and holding in the heat. [IANTO] Whoever's done this wants the human race alive. That's a plus.Twenty seven planets, including the Earth. [GWEN] No, but what's that? That's not a planet. --------------------------------------- (Sarah Jane's home) [MR SMITH] The reading seems to be artificial inconstruction. [SARAH] Some sort of space station sitting at the heart of the web. [LUKE] They're fine. Maria and her dad, they're still in Cornwall. Itold them to stay indoors. And Clyde's all right. He's with his mum. [MR SMITH] Sarah Jane, I have detected movement. Observe. [LUKE] Spaceships. --------------------------------------- (UNIT New York) [SANCHEZ] Tracking two hundred objects. Earthbound trajectory. Geneva iscalling a Code Red. Everyone to battle positions. Doctor Jones, ifyou're not too busy. [MARTHA] I'm trying to phone the Doctor, sir. [SANCHEZ] And? [MARTHA] There's no signal. This number calls anywhere in the universe.It never breaks down. They must be blocking it, whoever they are. [SANCHEZ] We're about to find out. They're coming into orbit. --------------------------------------- (London) [PASSENGER] Yeah, and you, mate! [DRUNK] The end of the world, darling. End of the stinking world. [ROSE] Have one on me, mate. --------------------------------------- (Shop) [ROSE] Right, you two. You can put that stuff downor run for your lives.

Tell me you put somethingin my drink. --------------------------------------- (UNIT New York) [MARTHA] No such luck. Have you heard from theDoctor? [JACK [OC]] Not a word. Where are you? [MARTHA] New York. --------------------------------------- (Torchwood) [JACK] Ooo, nice for some. --------------------------------------- (UNIT New York) [MARTHA] I've been promoted. Medical Director onProject Indigo. --------------------------------------- (Torchwood) [JACK] Did you get that thing working? --------------------------------------- (Unit New York) [MARTHA] Indigo's top secret. --------------------------------------- (Torchwood) [MARTHA [OC]] No one's supposed to know about it. [JACK] I met a soldier in a bar, long story. [IANTO] When was that? [JACK] Strictly professional. [GWEN] Fifteen hundred miles, boys, and accelerating. They're almosthere. --------------------------------------- (Sarah Jane's home) [MR SMITH] I'm receiving a communication from theearthbound ships. They have a message for the human race.

Exterminate. --------------------------------------- (Crucible) [DALEK] Dalek fleet in battle formation. [DALEK 2] All systems locked and primed. [DALEK 3] Crucible at ninety percent efficiency. [DALEK 4] The human harvest will commence. --------------------------------------- (UNIT New York) [SANCHEZ] Battle stations! Geneva declaring UltimateCode Red. Ladies and gentlemen, we are at war. --------------------------------------- (Crucible) [DALEK] Supreme Dalek on the bridge. [RED DALEK] Soon the Crucible will be complete. We have waited long forthis ultimate destiny. Now the Daleks are the masters of Earth. [DALEKS] Daleks are the masters of Earth. Daleks are the masters ofEarth. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DONNA] So go on then, what is the ShadowProclamation anyway? [DOCTOR] Posh name for police. Outer space police. Here we go. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [JUDOON] Sco bo tro no flo jo ko fo to to. [DOCTOR] No bo ho sho ko ro to so. Bokodozogobofopojo. [DOCTOR] Moho. --------------------------------------- (Shadow Proclamation) [ARCHITECT] Time Lords are the stuff of legend. They belong in the mythsand whispers of the Higher Species. You cannot possibly exist. [DOCTOR] Yeah. More to the point, I've got a missing planet. [ARCHITECT] Then you're not as wise as the stories would say. Thepicture is far bigger than you imagine. The whole universe is inoutrage, Doctor. Twenty four worlds have been taken from the sky. [DOCTOR] How many?. Which ones? Show me. [ARCHITECT] Locations range far and wide, but all disappeared at theexact same moment, leaving no trace. [DOCTOR] Callufrax Minorr. Jahoo. Shallacatop. Woman Wept. Clom. Clom'sgone? Who'd want Clom? [ARCHITECT] All different sizes. Some populated, some not. But allunconnected. [DONNA] What about Pyrovillia? [ARCHITECT] Who is the female? [DONNA] Donna. I'm a human being. Maybe not the stuff of legend butevery bit as important as Time Lords, thank you. Way back, when we werein Pompeii, Lucius said Pyrovillia had gone missing. [JUDOON] Pyrovillia is cold case. Not relevant. [DONNA] How do you mean, cold case? [ARCHITECT] The planet Pyrovillia cannot be part of this. It disappearedover two thousand years ago. [DONNA] Yes, yes, hang on. But there's the Adipose breeding planet, too.Miss Foster said that was lost, but that must've been a long time ago. [DOCTOR] That's it! Donna, brilliant. Planets are being taken out oftime as well as space. Let's put this into 3-D. [DOCTOR] Now, if we add Pyrovillia and Adipose Three. Something missing.Where else, where else, where else? Where else lost, lost, lost, lost.Oh! The Lost Moon of Poosh. [ARCHITECT] What did you do? [DOCTOR] Nothing. The planets rearranged themselves into the optimumpattern. Oh, look at that. Twenty seven planets in perfect balance.Come on, that is gorgeous. [DONNA] Oi, don't get all spaceman. What does it mean? [DOCTOR] All those worlds fit together like pieces of an engine. It'slike a powerhouse. What for? [ARCHITECT] Who could design such a thing? [DOCTOR] Someone tried to move the Earth once before. Long time ago.Can't be. --------------------------------------- (Earth orbit) [DALEKS] Maximum extermination. --------------------------------------- (Torchwood) [CAPTAIN [OC]] The shields are down. There's toomany of them. Abandon ship. [JACK] The Valiant's down! [IANTO] Air force retreating over North Africa. Daleks landing in Japan. [GWEN] We've lost contact with the Prime Minister's plane. Jack!Manhattan. [JACK] Martha, get out of there. --------------------------------------- (UNIT New York) [MARTHA] I can't, Jack. I've got a job to do. --------------------------------------- (Torchwood) [JACK] They're targeting military bases --------------------------------------- (UNIT New York) [JACK [OC]] And you're next on the list. [SANCHEZ] Doctor Jones, you will come with me. Project Indigo is beingactivated. Quick march. --------------------------------------- (Passageway) [MARTHA] But we can't use Project Indigo. It hasn'tbeen tested, sir. We don't even know if it works. --------------------------------------- (UNIT New York) [DALEK] UNIT forces will be exterminated. [DALEK 3] Annihilate UNIT. [DALEK] Exterminate. --------------------------------------- (Storage area) [SANCHEZ] Put it on. Fast as you can. [JACK [OC]] Martha, I'm telling you. --------------------------------------- (Torchwood) [JACK] Don't use Project Indigo. It's not safe. --------------------------------------- (Storage area) [SANCHEZ] You take your orders from UNIT, DoctorJones. Not from Torchwood. [MARTHA] But why me? [SANCHEZ] You're our only hope of finding the Doctor. But failing that,if no help is coming, then with the power invested in me by the UnifiedIntelligence Taskforce, I authorise you to take this. The OsterhagenKey. [MARTHA] I can't take that, sir. [SANCHEZ] You know what to do, for the sake of the human race. [DALEK [OC]] Daleks one five reaching north corridor. [DALEK 3 [OC]] Exterminate. Exterminate. [SANCHEZ] Doctor Jones, good luck. [DALEKS [OC]] Exterminate. Exterminate. Exterminate. [DALEK 3] Exterminate. [MARTHA] Bye, Jack. --------------------------------------- (Torchwood) [JACK] Martha, don't do it. [JACK] Don't! [IANTO] What's Project Indigo? [JACK] Experimental teleport salvaged from the Sontarans. But theyhaven't got coordinates, or stabilisation. [GWEN] So where is she? [JACK] Scattered into atoms. Martha's down. --------------------------------------- (Crucible) [RED DALEK] Commence the landings. Bring the humanshere. Prepare the Crucible. [DAVROS [OC]] Supreme Dalek, is there news? [RED DALEK] Earth has been subjugated. --------------------------------------- (Vault) [DAVROS] I mean, is there news of him? [RED DALEK [on screen]] Negative. No reports of Time Lord. We are beyondthe Doctor's reach. [DAVROS] Fascinating. If I had not elevated you beyond crude emotions, Icould almost mistake that tone for one of victory. Beware your pride. [RED DALEK [on screen]] The Doctor cannot stop us. [DAVROS] And yet, Dalek Caan is uneasy. --------------------------------------- (Crucible) [RED DALEK] The abomination --------------------------------------- (Vault) [RED DALEK [on screen]] Is insane. [DAVROS] Show respect. Without Dalek Caan, none of this would bepossible. And he speaks only the truth. [CAAN] He is coming, the threefold man. He dances in the lonely places.Oh, creator of us all, the Doctor is coming. Tee hee hee hee --------------------------------------- (Shadow Proclamation) [ALBINO] You need sustenance. Take the water, it purifies. [DONNA] Thanks. [ALBINO] There was something on your back. [DONNA] How do you know that? [ALBINO] You are something new. [DONNA] Not me. I'm just a temp. Shorthand, filing, hundred words perminute. Fat lot of good that is now. I'm no use to anyone. [ALBINO] I'm so sorry for your loss. [DONNA] Yeah. My whole planet's gone. [ALBINO] I mean the loss that is yet to come. God save you. [DOCTOR] Donna, come on, think. Earth. There must've been some sort ofwarning. Was anything happening back in your day, like electricalstorms, freak weather, patterns in the sky? [DONNA] Well, how should I know? Er, no. I don't think so, no. [DOCTOR] Oh, okay, never mind. [DONNA] Although, there were the bees disappearing. [DOCTOR] The bees disappearing. The bees disappearing. The beesdisappearing! [ARCHITECT] How is that significant? [DONNA] On Earth we had these insects. Some people said it was pollutionor mobile phone signals. [DOCTOR] Or, they were going back home. [DONNA] Back home where? [DOCTOR] Planet Melissa Majoria. [DONNA] Are you saying bees are aliens?. [DOCTOR] Don't be so daft. Not all of them. But if the migrant bees feltsomething coming, some sort of danger, and escaped? Tandocca. [ARCHITECT] The Tandocca Scale. [DOCTOR] Tandocca Scale is the series of wavelengths used as a carriersignals by migrant bees. Infinitely small. No wonder we didn't see it.It's like looking for a speck of cinnamon in the Sahara, but look,there it is. The Tandocca trail. The transmat that moved the planetswas using the same wavelength, we can follow the path. [DONNA] And find the Earth?. Well, stop talking and do it. [DOCTOR] I am. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] We're a bit late. The signal's scattered,but it's a start. [DOCTOR] I've got a blip. It's just a blip, But it's definitely a blip. [ARCHITECT] Then according to the Strictures of the Shadow Proclamation,I will have to seize your transport and your technology. [DOCTOR] Oh, really? What for? [ARCHITECT] The planets were stolen with hostile intent. We aredeclaring war, Doctor, right across the universe, and you will lead usinto battle. [DOCTOR] Right. Yes. Course I will. I'll just go and get you the key. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [ARCHITECT] Doctor, come back! By the Holy Writ of the ShadowProclamation, I order you to stop! --------------------------------------- (Street) [DALEK] All humans will leave their homes. Themales, the females, the descendants. You will come with us. Resistanceis useless. [MAN] Where are you taking us? [DALEK] Daleks do not answer human questions. Stand in line. [SYLVIA] Dad, please, come home. They're leaving our street alone. [WILF] Yeah, I've got a weapon. [SYLVIA] It's a paint gun. [WILF] Exactly. Them Dalek things, they've only got one eye. A goodsplodge of paint, they'd be blinded. [MAN] We're not going. Do you hear me? Laura, get back inside the house.Simon, get inside. Go! [MAN] Get back in the sky. [MAN] Get back where you came from and leave us alone. [DALEK] Dalek attack formation seven. Maximum extermination. [WILF] They're monsters. [SYLVIA] Please, Dad. Come home. [DALEK] Halt. You will come with me. [WILF] Will I heck. [DALEK] My vision is not impaired. [SYLVIA] I warned you, Dad. [DALEK] Hostility will not be tolerated. Exterminate. Exterminate. Exter [WILF] Do you want to swap? [ROSE] You're Donna Noble's family, right? I'm Rose Tyler, and I needyou. --------------------------------------- (Nobles' home) [WILF] Yeah, I've tried calling her, but I can't getthrough. But she's still with the Doctor, I know that much, and thelast time she phoned, it was from a planet called Midnight, made ofdiamonds. [SYLVIA] What the hell are you two on about? [WILF] Look, she's out there, sweetheart. Your daughter. She'stravelling the stars with that Doctor. She always has been. [SYLVIA] Don't be ridiculous. [WILF] Oh, come on, open your eyes. Look at the sky. Look at, look atthe Daleks. You can't start denying things now. [ROSE] You're my last hope. If we can't find Donna, can't find theDoctor. Where is he?. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] It's stopped. [DONNA] What do you mean? Is that good or bad? Where are we? [DOCTOR] The Medusa Cascade. I came here when I was just a kid, ninetyyears old. It was the centre of a rift in time and space. [DONNA] So, where are the twenty seven planets? [DOCTOR] Nowhere. The Tandocca Trail stops dead. End of the line. [DONNA] So what do we do? Doctor, what do we do? Now don't do this tome. No, don't. Don't do this to me. Not now. Tell me, what are we goingdo? You never give up. Please. --------------------------------------- (Torchwood) [COMMANDER GENERAL [OC]] This is the Commander General of the UnitedNations calling the Dalek Fleet. We surrender. Repeat, we surrender.Planet Earth surrenders. [DALEK [OC]] Humans selected for testing will follow Dalek instructions. --------------------------------------- (Sarah Jane's home) [DALEK [OC]] The Daleks reign supreme. All hail theDaleks. --------------------------------------- (Nobles' home) [DALEK [OC]] You will obey Dalek instructionswithout question. You will obey your Dalek ma [HARRIET [OC]] Can anyone hear me? The Subwave Network is open. Youshould be able to hear my voice Is there anyone there? [ROSE] I know that voice. --------------------------------------- (Sarah Jane's home) [LUKE] Who's that? [SARAH] Some poor soul calling for help. [HARRIET [OC]] Can anyone hear me? [SARAH] There's nothing we can do. [LUKE] But look at Mister Smith. [MR SMITH] Processing incoming Subwave. --------------------------------------- (Torchwood) [HARRIET [OC]] This message is of the utmostimportance. We haven't much time. Can anyone hear me? [GWEN] Someone's trying to get in touch. [JACK] The whole world's crying out. Just leave it. [HARRIET [on screen]] Captain Jack Harkness, shame on you. Now stand toattention, sir. [JACK] What? Who is that? [HARRIET [on screen]] Harriet Jones, former Prime Minister. [JACK] Yeah, I know who you are. --------------------------------------- (Nobles' home) [ROSE] Harriet, it's me. It's me. Oh, she can't hear me. Have you got awebcam? [WILF] No, she wouldn't let me. She said they're naughty. [ROSE] I can't speak to her then, can I? --------------------------------------- (Harriet's home) [HARRIET] Sarah Jane Smith, 13 Bannerman Road. --------------------------------------- (Sarah Jane's home) [HARRIET [on screen]] Are you there? [SARAH] Yeah. Yeah, I'm here. That, that's me. [HARRIET [on screen]] Good. Now --------------------------------------- (Harriet's home) [HARRIET] Let's see if we can talk to each other. [HARRIET] The fourth contact seems to be having some trouble gettingthrough. --------------------------------------- (Nobles' home) [ROSE] That's me. Harriet, that's me. [HARRIET [OC]] I'll just boost the signal. [MARTHA [on screen]] Hello? --------------------------------------- (Torchwood) [JACK] Ha, ha! Martha Jones. --------------------------------------- (Nobles' home) [ROSE] Who's she? I want to get through. [JACK [on screen]] Martha, where are you?. [MARTHA [on screen]] I guess Project Indigo was more clever --------------------------------------- (Francine's home) [MARTHA] Than we thought. One second I was inManhattan, next second. Maybe Indigo tapped into my mind, because Iended up in the one place that I wanted to be. [MARTHA [memory]] Mum? [FRANCINE] You came home. At the end of the world, you came back to me. [MARTHA] But then all of a sudden, it's like the laptop turned itselfon. [HARRIET [on screen]] It did. --------------------------------------- (Harriet's home) [HARRIET] That was me. --------------------------------------- (Francine's home) [HARRIET [on screen]] Harriet Jones, former PrimeMinister. [MARTHA] Yes, I know who you are. [HARRIET [on screen]] I thought it was about time we all met --------------------------------------- (Sarah Jane's home) [HARRIET [on screen]] Given the current crisis.Torchwood, this is Sarah Jane Smith. [JACK [on screen]] I've been following your work. Nice job with theSlitheen. [SARAH] Yeah, well, I've been staying away from you lot. Too many guns. [JACK [on screen]] All the same, might I say looking good, ma'am? [SARAH] Really? Ooo. --------------------------------------- (Harriet's home) [HARRIET] Not now, Captain. And Martha Jones --------------------------------------- (Nobles' home) [HARRIET [on screen]] Former companion to theDoctor. [ROSE] Oi. So was I. --------------------------------------- (Francine's home) [MARTHA] But how did you find me? [HARRIET [on screen]] This, ladies and gentlemen, this is the SubwaveNetwork. --------------------------------------- (Harriet's home) [HARRIET] A sentient piece of software programmed toseek out anyone and everyone who can help to contact the Doctor. --------------------------------------- (Francine's home) [MARTHA] What if the Daleks can hear us? --------------------------------------- (Harriet's home) [HARRIET] No, that's the beauty of the Subwave. It'sundetectable. --------------------------------------- (Sarah Jane's home) [SARAH] And you invented it? [HARRIET [on screen]] I developed it. --------------------------------------- (Harriet's home) [HARRIET] It was created by the Mister CopperFoundation. [JACK [on screen]] Yeah, but what we need right now is a weapon. --------------------------------------- (Torchwood) [JACK] Martha, back there at UNIT, what, what didthey --------------------------------------- (Francine's home) [JACK [on screen]] Give you? What was that keything? [MARTHA] The Osterhagen key. --------------------------------------- (Harriet's home) [HARRIET] That key is not to be used, Doctor Jones.Not under any circumstances. --------------------------------------- (Torchwood) [JACK] But what is an Osterhagen key? --------------------------------------- (Harriet's home) [HARRIET] Forget about the key, and that's an order. --------------------------------------- (Francine's home) [HARRIET [on screen]] All we need is the Doctor. --------------------------------------- (Sarah Jane's home) [SARAH] Only, excuse me, Harriet, but. Well, thething is, if you're looking for the Doctor, didn't he depose you? --------------------------------------- (Harriet's home) [HARRIET] He did. And I've wondered about that for along time, whether I was wrong. But I stand by my actions to this day,because I knew, I knew --------------------------------------- (Francine's home) [HARRIET [on screen]] That one day, the Earth wouldbe in danger, and the Doctor would fail to appear. --------------------------------------- (Harriet's home) [HARRIET] I told him so myself, and he didn'tlisten. --------------------------------------- (Francine's home) [MARTHA] But I've been trying to find him. TheDoctor's got my phone on the Tardis, but I can't get through. --------------------------------------- (Nobles' home) [ROSE] Nor me, and I was here first. [HARRIET [on screen]] That's why we need the Subwave. To bring us alltogether. --------------------------------------- (Harriet's home) [HARRIET] Combine forces. The Doctor's secret --------------------------------------- (Torchwood) [HARRIET [on screen]] Army. [JACK] Wait a minute. We boost the signal. That's it. We transmit thattelephone number through Torchwood itself, using all the power of theRift. --------------------------------------- (Sarah Jane's home) [LUKE] And we've got Mister Smith. --------------------------------------- (Torchwood) [LUKE [on screen]] He can link up with everytelephone exchange on the Earth. --------------------------------------- (Francine's home) [LUKE [on screen]] He can get the whole world tocall the same number, all at the same time. --------------------------------------- (Sarah Jane's home) [LUKE] Billions of phones, calling out all at once. --------------------------------------- (Torchwood) [JACK] Brilliant. Who's the kid? [SARAH [on screen]] That's my son. [IANTO] Excuse me. Sorry. Sorry. Hello. Ianto Jones. Er, if we start --------------------------------------- (Harriet's home) [IANTO [on screen]] Transmitting, then this SubwaveNetwork is going to become visible. I mean, to the Daleks. [HARRIET] Yes, and they'll trace it back to me. But my life doesn'tmatter. Not if it saves the Earth. --------------------------------------- (Torchwood) [JACK] Ma'am. [HARRIET [on screen]] Thank you, Captain. --------------------------------------- (Harriet's home) [HARRIET] But there are people out there dying onthe streets. --------------------------------------- (Nobles' home) [WILF] Marvellous woman. I voted for her. [SYLVIA] You did not. --------------------------------------- (Harriet's home) [HARRIET] Now, enough of words. Let's begin. --------------------------------------- (Torchwood) [JACK] Rift power activated. [GWEN] All terminals coordinated. [IANTO] National grid online. Giving you everything we've got. --------------------------------------- (Sarah Jane's home) [SARAH] Connecting you to Mister Smith. [LUKE] All telephone networks combined. --------------------------------------- (Francine's home) [MARTHA] Sending you the number now. --------------------------------------- (Harriet's home) [HARRIET] Opening Subwave Network to maximum. --------------------------------------- (Sarah Jane's home) [SARAH] Mister Smith, make that call. [MR SMITH] Calling the Doctor. --------------------------------------- (Nobles' home) [ROSE] So am I. --------------------------------------- (Torchwood) [JACK] And sending. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] Phone! [DONNA] Doctor, phone. [DOCTOR] Martha, is that you?. It's a signal. [DONNA] Can we follow it? [DOCTOR] Oh, just watch me. --------------------------------------- (Crucible) [DALEK] Emergency. Unknown network detected. Subwavefrequency. [RED DALEK] Find the point of origin. Find and exterminate. [DAVROS [OC]] I warned you, Supreme One. --------------------------------------- (Vault) [DAVROS] Just as Dalek Caan foretold. The Childrenof Time are moving against us. But everything is falling into place. --------------------------------------- (Torchwood) [JACK] I think we've got a fix. --------------------------------------- (Sarah Jane's home) [SARAH] Mister Smith now at two hundred per cent. [SARAH] Oh, come on, Doctor. --------------------------------------- (Nobles' home) [ROSE] (sotto) Find me, Doctor. Find me. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] Got it. Locking on. --------------------------------------- (Torchwood) [GWEN] Harriet, a saucer's locked on to yourlocation. They've found you. [HARRIET [on screen]] I know. I'm using --------------------------------------- (Harriet's home) [HARRIET] The Network to mask your transmission.Keep going. [DALEK [OC]] Exterminate. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] We're travelling through time. One second in the future. Thephone call's pulling us through. --------------------------------------- (Harriet's home) [HARRIET] Captain, I'm transferring the SubwaveNetwork to Torchwood. You're in charge now. And tell the Doctor from me --------------------------------------- (Torchwood) [HARRIET [on screen]] He chose his companions well. --------------------------------------- (Harriet's home) [HARRIET] It's been an honour. [HARRIET] Harriet Jones. Former Prime Minister. [DALEK] Yes, we know who you are. [HARRIET] Oh, you know nothing of any human, and that will be yourdownfall. [DALEK] Exterminate. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] Three, two, one. [DONNA] Twenty seven planets. And there's the Earth. But why couldn't wesee them? [DOCTOR] The entire Medusa Cascade has been put a second out of syncwith the rest of the universe. Perfect hiding place. Tiny little pocketof time. But we found them. Ooo, ooo, ooo, what's that? Hold on, holdon. Some sort of Subwave Network. [JACK [on screen]] Where the hell have you been? --------------------------------------- (Torchwood) [JACK] Doctor, it's the Daleks. [GWEN] Oh, he's a bit nice. I thought he'd be older. [IANTO] He's not that young. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [SARAH [on screen]] It's the Daleks. They're takingpeople to their spaceship. [MARTHA] It's not just Dalek Caan. --------------------------------------- (Nobles' home) [SYLVIA] It's Donna! [WILF] That's my girl. [JACK [on screen]] Surrendered. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] Sarah Jane. Who's that boy? That must beTorchwood. Oh, they're brilliant. --------------------------------------- (Nobles' home) [DOCTOR [on screen]] Look at you all, you cleverpeople. --------------------------------------- (Francine's home) [DONNA [on screen]] That's Martha. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DONNA] And who's he? [DOCTOR] Captain Jack. Don't. Just don't. --------------------------------------- (Nobles' home) [ROSE] Doctor, it's me, I came back. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DONNA] It's like an outer space Facebook. [DOCTOR] Everyone except Rose. --------------------------------------- (Vault) [CAAN] Tee hee, hee. He is here. The Dark Lord iscome. [DAVROS] Supreme One, this Subwave Network, I would address it. Give meaccess. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] Oh. [DONNA] We've lost them. [DOCTOR] No, no, no, no, no. There's another signal coming through.There's someone else out there. Hello? Can you hear me? Rose? [DAVROS [OC]] Your voice is different, and yet its arrogance isunchanged. --------------------------------------- (Sarah Jane's home) [SARAH] No. But he's dead. --------------------------------------- (Vault) [DAVROS] Welcome to my new Empire --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DAVROS [on screen]] Doctor. It is only fitting thatyou should bear witness to the resurrection and the triumph --------------------------------------- (Vault) [DAVROS] Of Davros, lord and creator of the Dalekrace. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DONNA] Doctor? [DAVROS [on screen]] Have you nothing to say? [DONNA] Doctor, it's all right. We're, we're in the Tardis. We're safe. [DOCTOR] But you were destroyed. In the very first year of the Time War,at the Gates of Elysium. --------------------------------------- (Vault) [DOCTOR [on screen]] I saw your command ship flyinto the jaws of the Nightmare Child. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] I tried to save you. [DAVROS [on screen]] But it took one stronger than you. --------------------------------------- (Vault) [DAVROS] Dalek Caan himself. [CAAN] I flew into the wild and fire. I danced and died a thousandtimes. [DAVROS] Emergency Temporal Shift took him back into the Time Waritself. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] But that's impossible. The entire War istimelocked. --------------------------------------- (Vault) [DAVROS] And yet he succeeded. Oh, it cost him hismind, but imagine. A single, simple Dalek succeeded where Emperors andTime Lords have failed. A testament, don't you think, to my remarkablecreations? --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] And you made a new race of Daleks. --------------------------------------- (Vault) [DAVROS] I gave myself to them, quite literally.Each one grown from a cell of my own body. [DAVROS] New Daleks. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DAVROS [on screen]] True Daleks. I have mychildren, Doctor. What do you have, now? [DOCTOR] After all this time, everything we saw, everything we lost, Ihave only one thing to say to you. Bye! --------------------------------------- (Crucible) [RED DALEK] Emergency. Locate the Tardis. Find theDoctor. --------------------------------------- (Vault) [DAVROS] He will go to the Earth to find hisprecious Human allies. [CAAN] And death is coming. Oh, I can see it. Everlasting death for themost faithful companion. --------------------------------------- (Crucible) [DALEK] Subwave Network rerouted. New location,Torchwood. [RED DALEK] Then exterminate them at once. Exterminate Torchwood. --------------------------------------- (Torchwood) [IANTO] Gwen, Dalek saucer heading for the Bay.They've found us. [JACK] Martha, open that Indigo device. Now listen to me. Lift thecentral panel. There's a string of numbers that keep changing --------------------------------------- (Francine's home) [JACK [on phone]] But the fourth number keepsoscillating between two different digits. Tell me what they are. [MARTHA] It's a four and a nine. We could never work out what that was. --------------------------------------- (Torchwood) [JACK] Yeah, that's the teleport base code. Andthat's all I need, to get this thing working again. [JACK] Oscillating four and nine. Thank you, Martha Jones. [JACK] I've got to go. I've got to find the Doctor. I'll come back. I'mcoming back. [GWEN] Don't worry about us. Just go. [IANTO] We'll be fine. [JACK] You'd better be. [DALEK [OC]] Exterminate. Exterminate. [GWEN] They're here. --------------------------------------- (Sarah Jane's home) [MR SMITH] Tardis heading for vector seven. Gridreference six six five. [LUKE] But there are Daleks out there. [SARAH] I know,. I'm sorry, but I have got to find the Doctor. Don'tmove. Don't leave the house. Don't do anything. [MR SMITH] I will protect the boy, Sarah Jane. [SARAH] I love you. Remember that. --------------------------------------- (Nobles' home) [ROSE] Control, I need another shift. Lock me onto the Tardis, now.Right, I'm going tofind him. Wish me luck. [SYLVIA] Oh, good luck. [WILF] Yeah, good luck, sweetheart. --------------------------------------- (Outside the church) [DONNA] Like a ghost town. [DOCTOR] Sarah Jane said they were taking the people. What for? Think,Donna. When you met Rose in that parallel world, what did she say? [DONNA] Just, the darkness is coming. [DOCTOR] Anything else? [DONNA] Why don't you ask her yourself? [DALEK] Exterminate. [ROSE] I've got you. It missed you. Look, it's me, Doctor. [DOCTOR] Rose. [ROSE] Hi. [DOCTOR] Long time no see. [ROSE] Yeah. Been busy, you know. Don't die. Oh, my God. Don't die. Ohmy god, don't die. [JACK] Get him into the Tardis, quick. Move. --------------------------------------- (Torchwood) [IANTO] But they don't work against Daleks. [GWEN] Yeah? Well, I'm going out fighting. Like Owen, like Tosh. Howabout you? [DALEK [OC]] Exterminate. [IANTO] Yes, ma'am. [DALEKS] Exterminate. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DONNA] What, what do we do?. There must be somemedicine or something. [JACK] Just step back. Rose, do as I say, and get back. He's dying andyou know what happens next. [DONNA] What do you mean? He can't. [ROSE] Oh, no. I came all this way. [DONNA] What do you mean, what happens next? [DOCTOR] It's starting. --------------------------------------- (Sarah Jane's car) [DALEK] All human transport is forbidden. [SARAH] I surrender. I'm sorry! [DALEK] Daleks do not accept apologies. You will be exterminated. [DALEK 2] Exterminate. [DALEK] Exterminate. --------------------------------------- (Torchwood) [DALEK] Exterminate. Exterminate. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [JACK] Here we go. Good luck, Doctor. [DONNA] Will someone please tell me what is going on?. [ROSE] When he's dying, his er, his body, it repairs itself. It changes.But you can't! [DOCTOR] I'm sorry, it's too late. I'm regenerating.

Doctor Who (5 Jul, 2008; Tenth Doctor) - Journey's End [DOCTOR] Now then. Where were we? --------------------------------------- (Sarah Jane's car) [DALEKS] Exterminate! Exterminate! [SARAH] Mickey? [MICKEY] Us Smiths got to stick together! [JACKIE] Jackie Tyler, Rose's mum. Now where the hell is my daughter? --------------------------------------- (Torchwood) [GWEN] What the hell? --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] There now. [DOCTOR] You see? Used the regeneration energy to heal myself, but soonas I was done, I didn't need to change. I didn't want to. Why would I?Look at me. So, to stop the energy going all the way, I siphoned offthe rest into a handy bio-matching receptacle, namely my hand. My handthere. My handy spare hand. Remember? Christmas Day, Sycorax. Lost myhand in a sword fight? That's my hand. What do you think? [ROSE] You're still you? [DOCTOR] I'm still me. [DONNA] You can hug me, if you want. No, really. You can hug me. --------------------------------------- (Torchwood) [IANTO] It's a Time Lock. The ultimate defence programme. Tosh wasworking on it. Never thought she finished it, but she did. The Hub'ssealed in a time bubble. Nothing can get in. [GWEN] But that means we can't get out. [IANTO] Nope. Not without unlocking that Dalek. We're trapped inside.It's all up to Jack now. --------------------------------------- (Street) [DALEK] Report. Tardis has been located. --------------------------------------- (Dalek spaceship) [RED DALEK] Bring it here. Bring the Doctor to me!Initiate temporal prison. --------------------------------------- (Street) [DALEK] Temporal prison initiated. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] They've got us. Power's gone. Some kind of chronon loop. --------------------------------------- (Street) [DALEK] Transferring Tardis to the Crucible. [SARAH] Those teleport things. Can we use them? If they've taken theDoctor to the Dalek spaceship, then that's where we need to be. [MICKEY] It's not just a teleport, it's a dimension jump. Man, thisthing rips a hole in the fabric of space. [SARAH] But can we use it? [MICKEY] Not yet. It burns up energy. Needs half an hour between jumps. [SARAH] Then put down your guns. [MICKEY] Do what? [SARAH] If you're carrying a gun, they'll shoot you dead. [SARAH] Daleks, I surrender. [DALEK] All humans in this sector will be taken to the Crucible. [MICKEY] She's bloody mad! [JACKIE] Yeah, but Mickey, if they've got the Doctor, then they've gotRose. [JACKIE] And us. We surrender. --------------------------------------- (Francine's home) [MARTHA] Now Jack's explained the base code, I know how this teleportworks. I think. But you just stay indoors. There's no Daleks on thisstreet. You should be all right. Just er, keep quiet. [FRANCINE] But where are you going? [MARTHA] I'm a member of UNIT, and they gave me the Osterhagen Key. I'vegot to do my job. I'm sorry. [FRANCINE] Martha. What's an Osterhagen Key? Tell me. What does it do? [MARTHA] Love you. --------------------------------------- (Germany - 60 miles outside Nuremberg) [DALEK [OC]] Exterminieren! Exterminieren! [DALEK 2 [OC]] Halt! Sonst werden wir Sie exterminieren! Sie sind jetztein Gefangener der Daleks! [DALEK] Exterminieren. Exterminieren. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [JACK] There's a massive Dalek ship at the centre ofthe planets. They're calling it the Crucible. Guess that's ourdestination. [DONNA] You said these planets were like an engine. But what for? [DOCTOR] Rose, you've been in a parallel world. That world's runningahead of this universe. You've seen the future. What was it? [ROSE] It's the darkness. [DONNA] The stars were going out. [ROSE] One by one. We looked up at the sky and they were just dying.Basically, we've been building this, er, this travel machine, this,this er, dimension cannon, so I could. Well, so I could [DOCTOR] What? [ROSE] So I could come back. Shut up. Anyway, suddenly, it started towork and the dimensions started to collapse. Not just in our world, notjust in yours, but the whole of reality. Even the Void was dead.Something is destroying everything. [DONNA] In that parallel world, you said something about me. [ROSE] The dimension cannon could measure timelines, and it's, it'sweird, Donna, but they all seemed to converge on you. [DONNA] But why me? I mean, what have I ever done? I'm a temp fromChiswick. [DOCTOR] The Dalek Crucible. All aboard. --------------------------------------- (Crucible) [DALEK] The Tardis is secured. [RED DALEK] Doctor, you will step forth or die. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] We'll have to go out. Because if we don't,they'll get in. [ROSE] You told me nothing could get through those doors. [JACK] You've got extrapolator shielding. [DOCTOR] Last time we fought the Daleks, they were scavengers andhybrids, and mad. But this is a fully-fledged Dalek Empire, at theheight of its power. Experts at fighting Tardises, they can doanything. Right now, that wooden door is just wood. [JACK] What about your dimension jump? [ROSE] It needs another twenty minutes. And anyway, I'm not leaving. [DOCTOR] What about your teleport? [JACK] Went down with the power loss. [DOCTOR] Right then. All of us together. Yeah. Donna? [DOCTOR] Donna? [DONNA] Yeah. [DOCTOR] I'm sorry. There's nothing else we can do. [DONNA] No, I know. --------------------------------------- (Crucible) [RED DALEK] Surrender, Doctor, and face your Dalekmasters. [DALEK 3] Crucible on maximum alert. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [ROSE] Daleks. [JACK] Oh, God. [DOCTOR] It's been good, though, hasn't it? All of us. All of it.Everything we did. (to Donna) You were brilliant. (to Jack) And youwere brilliant. (to Rose) And you were brilliant. Blimey. --------------------------------------- (Crucible) [RED DALEK] Daleks reign supreme. All hail the Daleks! [DALEKS] Daleks reign supreme. All hail the Daleks! Daleks reignsupreme. All hail the Daleks! [DALEKS] Daleks reign supreme. All hail the Daleks! Daleks reignsupreme. All hail the Daleks! [RED DALEK] Behold, Doctor. Behold the might of the true Dalek race. [DOCTOR] Donna! You're no safer in there. [DOCTOR] What? --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DONNA] Doctor? What have you done? --------------------------------------- (Crucible) [DOCTOR] It wasn't me. I didn't do anything. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DONNA] Oi! Oi, I'm not staying behind! --------------------------------------- (Crucible) [DOCTOR] What did you do?! [RED DALEK] This is not of Dalek origin. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DONNA] Doctor! --------------------------------------- (Crucible) [DOCTOR] Stop it! She's my friend. Now open the doorand let her out. [RED DALEK] This is Time Lord treachery. [DOCTOR] Me? The door just closed on its own. [RED DALEK] Nevertheless, the Tardis is a weapon and it will bedestroyed. [DOCTOR] What are you doing? Bring it back! --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DONNA] Doctor! --------------------------------------- (Crucible) [DOCTOR] What have you done? Where's it going? [RED DALEK] The Crucible has a heart of Z-neutrino energy. The Tardiswill be deposited into the core. [DOCTOR] You can't. You've taken the defences down. It'll be torn apart! [ROSE] But Donna's still in there! [JACK] Let her go! [RED DALEK] The female and the Tardis will perish together. Observe. Thelast child of Gallifrey is powerless. [DOCTOR] Please. I'm begging you. I'll do anything! Put me in her place.You can do anything to me, I don't care, just get her out of there! [RED DALEK] You are connected to the Tardis. Now feel it die. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DONNA] It's you! [NEW DOCTOR] Oh, yes! [DONNA] You're naked. [NEW DOCTOR] Oh, yes. --------------------------------------- (Crucible) [DALEK 3] Total Tardis destruction in ten rels.Nine, eight, seven, six [DALEK 3] Five, four, three, two, one. [RED DALEK] The Tardis has been destroyed. Now tell me, Doctor. What doyou feel? Anger? Sorrow? Despair? [DOCTOR] Yeah. [RED DALEK] Then if emotions are so important, surely we have enhancedyou? [JACK] Yeah? Feel this!(Jack produces a small revolver and shoots at the Red Dalek.) [RED DALEK] Exterminate! [ROSE] Jack. Oh, my God. Oh, no. [DOCTOR] Rose, come here. Leave him. [ROSE] They killed him. [DOCTOR] I know. I'm sorry. [RED DALEK] Escort them to the Vault. [DOCTOR] There's nothing we can do. [RED DALEK] They are the playthings of Davros now. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [NEW DOCTOR] All repaired. Lovely. Shush. No oneknows we're here. Got to keep quiet. Silent running, like on submarineswhen you can't even drop a spanner. Don't drop a spanner! I like blue.What do you think? [DONNA] You are bonkers. [NEW DOCTOR] Why? What's wrong with blue? [DONNA] Is that what Time Lords do? Lop a bit off, grow another one?You're like worms. [NEW DOCTOR] No, no, no, no, no. I'm unique. Never been another like me.Because all that regeneration energy went into the hand. Look at myhand. I love that hand. But then you touched it. Wham! Shush.Instantaneous biological metacrisis. I grew out of you. Still, could beworse. [DONNA] Oi, watch it, spaceman. [NEW DOCTOR] Oi, watch it, Earth girl. Ooo. I sound like you. I soundall, all sort of rough. [DONNA] Oi! [NEW DOCTOR] Oi! [DONNA] Oi! [NEW DOCTOR] Spanners. Shush. I must have picked up a bit of your voice,that's all. Is it? Did I? No. Oh, you are kidding me. No way. Oneheart. I've only got one heart. This body has got only one heart. [DONNA] What, like you're human? [NEW DOCTOR] Oh, that's disgusting. [DONNA] Oi! [NEW DOCTOR] Oi! [DONNA] Stop it. [NEW DOCTOR] No, wait. I'm part Time Lord, part human. Well, isn't thatwizard? [DONNA] I kept hearing that noise, that heartbeat. [NEW DOCTOR] Oh, that was me. My single heart. Because I'm a complicatedevent in time and space. Must have rippled back, converging on you. [DONNA] But why me? [NEW DOCTOR] Because you're special. [DONNA] Oh, I keep telling you, I'm not. [NEW DOCTOR] No, but you are. Oh. You really don't believe that, do you?I can see, Donna, what you're thinking. All that attitude, all thatlip, because all this time you think you're not worth it. [DONNA] Stop it. [NEW DOCTOR] Shouting at the world because no one's listening. Well, whyshould they? [DONNA] Doctor? Stop it. [NEW DOCTOR] But look at what you did. No, it's more than that. It'slike we were always heading for this. You came to the Tardis. And youfound me again. Your granddad. Your car. Donna, your car. You parkedyour car right where the Tardis was going land. That's not coincidenceat all! We've been blind. Something's been drawing us together for sucha long time. [DONNA] But you're talking like destiny. There's no such thing. Isthere? [NEW DOCTOR] It's still not finished. It's like the pattern's notcomplete. The strands are still drawing together. But heading for what? --------------------------------------- (Outside the Schloss) [GERMAN WOMAN] Hier ist niemand. Was immer Siewollen, gehen Sie fort. Lassen Sie mich in Ruhe! [MARTHA] Ich heisse Martha Jones. Ich komme von UNIT. Agentin fuenfsechs sechs sieben eins, von der medizinishen Abteilung. [GERMAN WOMAN] Es hiess Sie kaemen vorbei. That accent. That is London,ja? I went to London. Long time ago. [MARTHA] I thought this place was supposed to be guarded. [GERMAN WOMAN] They were soldiers. Boys. I brought them food every day.But when der Albtraum came from the sky, they went home to die. But notyou. [MARTHA] I've got a job to do. --------------------------------------- (UNIT Germany) [GERMAN WOMAN] London. In those days, to see it. So much glamour. I wasso young. I heard the soldiers talking many times. They would speak ofthe Osterhagen Key. I think London must be changed now, yes? But still,the glamour. [GERMAN WOMAN] You will not go. [MARTHA] I've got no choice. [GERMAN WOMAN] I know the Key. What it does. Sie sind der Albtraum,nicht die anderen, Sie! Ich sollte Sie umbringen, am besten gleichjetzt! [MARTHA] Then do it. [GERMAN WOMAN] Martha, Zur Hoelle mit Dir! [MARTHA] I know. --------------------------------------- (Crucible) [DALEK] Commence disposal. Incinerate! [DALEK] Disposal completed. --------------------------------------- (Osterhagen One) [MARTHA] This is Osterhagen Station One. My name is Martha Jones. Isthere anyone there? Over. --------------------------------------- (Crucible) [DALEK 3] Prisoners now on board the Crucible. Theywill be taken for testing. [SARAH] One step closer to the Doctor. --------------------------------------- (Vault) [DAVROS] Activate the holding cells. [DAVROS] Excellent. Even when powerless, a Time Lord is best contained. [DOCTOR] Still scared of me, then? [DAVROS] It is time we talked, Doctor. After so very long. [DOCTOR] No, no, no, no, no. We're not doing the nostalgia tour. I wantto know what's happening right here, right now, because the SupremeDalek said Vault, yeah? As in dungeon, cellar, prison. You're not incharge of the Daleks, are you? They've got you locked away down here inthe basement like, what, a servant? Slave? Court jester? [DAVROS] We have an arrangement. [DOCTOR] No, no, no, no, no. No, I've got the word. You're the Dalek'spet! [DAVROS] So very full of fire, is he not. And to think you crossedentire universes, striding parallel to parallel to find him again. [DOCTOR] Leave her alone. [DAVROS] She is mine to do as I please. [ROSE] Then why am I still alive? [DAVROS] You must be here. It was foretold. Even the Supreme Dalek wouldnot dare to contradict the prophecies of Dalek Caan. [CAAN] So cold and dark. Fire is coming. The endless flames. [ROSE] What is that thing? [DOCTOR] You've met before. The last of the Cult of Skaro. But it flewinto the Time War, unprotected. [DAVROS] Caan did more than that. He saw time. Its infinite complexityand majesty, raging through his mind. And he saw you. Both of you. [CAAN] This I have foreseen, in the wild and the wind. The Doctor willbe here as witness, at the end of everything. The Doctor and hisprecious Children of Time. And one of them will die. [DOCTOR] Was it you, Caan? Did you kill Donna? Why did the Tardis doorclose? Tell me! [DAVROS] Oh, that's it. The anger, the fire, the rage of a Time Lord whobutchered millions. There he is. Why so shy? Show your companion. Showher your true self. Dalek Caan has promised me that too. [CAAN] I have seen. At the time of ending, the Doctor's soul will berevealed. [DOCTOR] What does that mean? [DAVROS] We will discover it together. Our final journey. Because theending approaches. The testing begins. [DOCTOR] Testing of what? [DAVROS] The Reality bomb. --------------------------------------- (Holding area) [DALEK] Prisoners will stand in the designated area.Move! Move! [WOMAN] Oh! [DALEK] You will stand! [WOMAN] I can't. [DALEK] You will stand! [WOMAN] I can't. Please! [DALEK] On your feet. On your feet! [SARAH] (sotto) Mickey! Mickey! [MICKEY] (sotto) Jackie! [DALEK] Prisoners will stand in the designated area. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [MICKEY] We can't just leave her. [SARAH] No, Mickey. Wait! [WOMAN] What does it mean? What are they testing? What are they going todo? [JACKIE] I reckon it's that thing there. --------------------------------------- (Crucible) [RED DALEK] Testing calibration of Reality bomb.Firing in ten rels. Nine, eight, seven --------------------------------------- (Vault) [DAVROS] Behold. The apotheosis of my genius. [RED DALEK [OC]] Four, three, two, one, zero. --------------------------------------- (Crucible) [RED DALEK] Activate planetary alignment field. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [NEW DOCTOR] It's the planets. The twenty sevenplanets. --------------------------------------- (Vault) [DOCTOR] That's Z-neutrino energy, flattened by the alignment of theplanets into a single string. No, Davros. Davros, you can't! You can't!No! --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [NEW DOCTOR] Single string Z-neutrinos compressed.No way. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [MICKEY] Thirty minutes. It's recharged! --------------------------------------- (Holding area) [MICKEY] (sotto) It's recharged! It's recharged! Use it! [JACKIE] I'm so sorry. --------------------------------------- (Holding area) [DALEK] Test completed. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DONNA] What was it? Doctor, what did it do? --------------------------------------- (Vault) [ROSE] Doctor, what happened? [DAVROS] Electrical energy, Miss Tyler. Every atom in existence is boundby an electrical field. The Reality bomb cancels it out. Structurefalls apart. That test was focused on the prisoners alone. Fulltransmission will dissolve every form of matter. [ROSE] The stars are going out. [DOCTOR] The twenty seven planets. They become one vast transmitter,blasting that wavelength. [DAVROS] Across the entire universe. Never stopping, never faltering,never fading. People and planets and stars will become dust, and thedust will become atoms, and the atoms will become nothing. And thewavelength will continue, breaking through the Rift at the heart of theMedusa Cascade into every dimension, every parallel, every singlecorner of creation. This is my ultimate victory, Doctor! Thedestruction of reality itself! --------------------------------------- (Crucible) [RED DALEK] Prepare for universal detonation. Thefleet will gather at the Crucible. All Daleks will return to shelterfrom the cataclysm. We will become the only life forms in existence. --------------------------------------- (Chiswick) [SYLVIA] Look, they're leaving. Dad, they're going.The Daleks are going! [WILF] Going where, though? And Donna's still out there. It's not overyet, sweetheart. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [JACK] Just my luck. I climb through two miles of ventilation shafts,chasing life signs on this thing, and who do I find? Mickey Mouse. [MICKEY] You can talk, Captain Cheesecake. [JACK] Good to see you. And that's Beefcake. [MICKEY] And that's enough hugging. [JACK] We meet at last, Miss Smith. [SARAH] There is something we can do. You've got to understand. I have ason down there on Earth. He's only fourteen years old. I've broughtthis. [SARAH] It was given to me by a Verron Soothsayer. He said, this is forthe End of Days. [JACK] Is that a Warp Star? [MICKEY] Going to tell me what a Warp Star is? [JACK] A warpfold conjugation trapped in a carbonised shell. It's anexplosion, Mickey. An explosion waiting to happen. --------------------------------------- (Osterhagen One) [ANNA [on screen]] This is Osterhagen Station Five.Are you receiving, Station One? [MARTHA] I've got you. That makes three of us, and three is all we need. --------------------------------------- (Osterhagen Five) [ANNA] My name is Anna Zhou, what's yours? [MARTHA [OC]] Martha Jones. --------------------------------------- (Osterhagen One) [MARTHA] What about you, Station Four? You neversaid. [LIBERIA [on screen]] I don't want my name on this, given what we'reabout to do. [ANNA [on screen]] So what happens now? Do we do it? [MARTHA] No. Not yet. [ANNA [on screen]] UNIT instructions say, once three Osterhagen Stationsare online [MARTHA] Yeah, but I've got a higher authority, way above UNIT. Andthere's one more thing the Doctor would do. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DONNA] So what is this thing? [NEW DOCTOR] It's our only hope. A Z-neutrino biological inversioncatalyser. [DONNA] Yeah. Earth girl, remember? [NEW DOCTOR] Davros said he built those Daleks out of himself. Hisgenetic code runs through the entire race. If I can use this to lockthe Crucible's transmission onto Davros himself [DONNA] It destroys the Daleks? [NEW DOCTOR] Biggest backfire in history. --------------------------------------- (Crucible) [DALEK] Incoming transmission. Origin Planet Earth. [RED DALEK] Display! [MARTHA [on screen]] This is Martha Jones, representing the UnifiedIntelligence Taskforce, on behalf of the human race. [RED DALEK] Send transmission to the Vault. Continue to monitor. --------------------------------------- (Vault) [MARTHA [on screen]] This message is for the DalekCrucible. Repeat. Can you hear me? [DOCTOR] Put me through. [DAVROS] It begins As Dalek Caan foretold. [CAAN] The Children of Time will gather, and one of them will die. [DOCTOR] Stop saying that. Put me through! [MARTHA [on screen]] Doctor! I'm sorry, I had to. [DAVROS] Oh, but the Doctor is powerless. My prisoner. State yourintent. --------------------------------------- (Osterhagen One) [MARTHA] I've got the Osterhagen Key. Leave thisplanet and its people alone --------------------------------------- (Vault) [MARTHA [on screen]] Or I'll use it. [DOCTOR] Osterhagen what? What's an Osterhagen Key? [MARTHA [on screen]] There's a chain of twenty five nuclear warheadsplaced in strategic points beneath the Earth's crust. If I use the key,they detonate and the Earth gets ripped apart. [DOCTOR] What? Who invented that? Well, someone called Osterhagen, Isuppose. Martha, are you insane? --------------------------------------- (Osterhagen One) [MARTHA] The Osterhagen Key is to be used if thesuffering of the human race is so great, so without hope, that thisbecomes the final option. --------------------------------------- (Vault) [DOCTOR] That's never an option. --------------------------------------- (Osterhagen One) [MARTHA] Don't argue with me, Doctor! --------------------------------------- (Vault) [MARTHA [on screen]] Because it's more than that.Now, I reckon the Daleks need --------------------------------------- (Osterhagen One) [MARTHA] These twenty seven planets for something.But what if it becomes twenty six? --------------------------------------- (Vault) [MARTHA [on screen]] What happens then? Daleks?Would you risk it? [ROSE] She's good. [MARTHA [on screen]] Who's that? [ROSE] My name's Rose. Rose Tyler. --------------------------------------- (Osterhagen One) [MARTHA] Oh, my God. He found you. --------------------------------------- (Crucible) [DALEK 2] Second transmission, internal. [RED DALEK] Display. [JACK [on screen]] Captain Jack Harkness, calling all Dalek boys andgirls. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [JACK] Are you receiving me? --------------------------------------- (Vault) [JACK [on screen]] Don't send in your goons, or I'llset this thing off. [ROSE] He's still alive. Oh, my god. That, that's my mum. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [DOCTOR [OC]] And Mickey. Captain, what are youdoing? [JACK] I've got a Warp Star wired into the mainframe. --------------------------------------- (Vault) [JACK [on screen]] I break this shell, the entireCrucible goes up. [DOCTOR] You can't! Where did you get a Warp Star? [SARAH] From me. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [SARAH] We had no choice. We saw what happened tothe prisoners. --------------------------------------- (Vault) [DAVROS] Impossible. That face. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [DAVROS [OC]] After all these years. [SARAH] Davros. It's been quite a while. Sarah Jane Smith. Remember? --------------------------------------- (Vault) [DAVROS] Oh, this is meant to be. The circle of Timeis closing. You were there --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [DAVROS [OC]] On Skaro at the very beginning of mycreation. --------------------------------------- (Vault) [ SARAH] And I've learnt how to fight sincethen. You let the Doctor go, or this Warp Star --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [SARAH [on screen]] It gets opened. [JACK [on screen]] I'll do it. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [JACK] Don't imagine I wouldn't. --------------------------------------- (Vault) [ROSE] Now that's what I call a ransom. Doctor? [DAVROS] And the prophecy unfolds. [CAAN] The Doctor's soul is revealed. See him. See the heart of him. [DAVROS] The man who abhors violence, never carrying a gun. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [DAVROS [OC]] But this is the truth, Doctor. Youtake ordinary people --------------------------------------- (Vault) [DAVROS] And you fashion them into weapons. --------------------------------------- (Osterhagen One) [DAVROS [OC]] Behold your Children of Time --------------------------------------- (Vault) [DAVROS] Transformed into murderers. I made theDaleks, Doctor. You made this. [DOCTOR] They're trying to help. [DAVROS] Already I have seen them sacrifice today, for their belovedDoctor. The Earth woman who fell opening the Subwave Network. [DOCTOR] Who was that? [ROSE] Harriet Jones. She gave her life to get you here. [DAVROS] How many more? Just think. How many have died in your name? [DAVROS] The Doctor. The man who keeps running, never looking backbecause he dare not, out of shame. This is my final victory, Doctor. Ihave shown you yourself. --------------------------------------- (Crucible) [RED DALEK] Enough. Engage defence zero five. --------------------------------------- (Osterhagen One) [MARTHA] It's the Crucible or the Earth. --------------------------------------- (Crucible) [DALEK 3] Transmat engaged. --------------------------------------- (Osterhagen One) [MARTHA] No! --------------------------------------- (Vault) [JACK] I've got you. It's all right. [DOCTOR] Don't move, all of you. Stay still. [DAVROS] Guard them! On your knees, all of you. Surrender! [DOCTOR] Do as he says. [ROSE] Mum, I told you not to. [JACKIE] Yeah, but I couldn't leave you. [DAVROS] The final prophecy is in place. The Doctor and his children,all gathered as witnesses. Supreme Dalek, the time has come. Now,detonate the Reality bomb! --------------------------------------- (Crucible) [RED DALEK] Activate planetary alignment field. [RED DALEK] Universal Reality detonation in two hundred rels. --------------------------------------- (Vault) [DOCTOR] You can't, Davros! Just listen to me! Juststop! [DAVROS] Ah, ha, ha, ha! Nothing can stop the detonation. Nothing and noone! --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [NEW DOCTOR] Ready? Maximum power! --------------------------------------- (Vault) [DOCTOR] But that's [DAVROS] Impossible. [JACK] Brilliant. [DOCTOR] Don't! [DAVROS] Activate holding cell. [DONNA] Doctor! I've got it. But I don't know what to do! [DOCTOR] Donna! Donna! Are you all right, Donna? [DAVROS] Destroy the weapon. [DAVROS] I was wrong about your warriors, Doctor. They are pathetic. [ROSE] How comes there are two of you? [DOCTOR] Human biological metacrisis. Never mind that. Now we've got noway of stopping the Reality Bomb. --------------------------------------- (Crucible) [RED DALEK] Detonation in twenty rels. Nineteen. --------------------------------------- (Vault) [DAVROS] Stand witness, Time Lord. Stand witness,humans. Your strategies have failed, your weapons are useless, and. Oh.The end of the universe has come. [RED DALEK [OC]] Nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one.(An alarm sounds.) [DONNA] Mmm, closing all Z-neutrino relay loops using an internalisedsynchronous back-feed reversal loop. That button there. --------------------------------------- (Crucible) [DALEK 3] System in shutdown. [DALEK 2] Detonation negative. [RED DALEK] Explain. Explain. Explain! --------------------------------------- (Vault) [DOCTOR] Donna, you can't even change a plug. [DONNA] Do you want to bet, Time Boy? [DAVROS] You'll suffer for this. [DAVROS] Argh! [DONNA] Oh, bio-electric dampening field with a retrograde field arcinversion. [DAVROS] Exterminate her! [DALEKS] Exterminate. Exterminate. Exterminate. [DALEK] Weapons non-functional. [DONNA] Phwor. Macrotransmission of a K-filter wavelength blocking Dalekweaponry in a self-replicating energy blindfold matrix. [DOCTOR] How did you work that out? You're [NEW DOCTOR] Time Lord. Part Time Lord. [DONNA] Part human. Oh, yes. That was a two-way biological metacrisis.Half Doctor, half Donna. [DOCTOR] The Doctor Donna. Just like the Ood said, remember? They saw itcoming. The Doctor Donna. [DONNA] Holding cells deactivated. And seal the Vault. Well, don't juststand there, you skinny boys in suits. Get to work. [DAVROS] Stop them! Get them away from the controls. [DONNA] And spin. [DALEK] Help me. Help me! [DONNA] And the other way. [NEW DOCTOR] What did you do? [DONNA] Trip switch circuit-breaker in the psychokinetic thresholdmanipulator. [NEW DOCTOR] But that's brilliant! [DOCTOR] Why did we never think of that? [DONNA] Because you two were just Time Lords, you dumbos, lacking thatlittle bit of human. That gut instinct that comes hand in hand withPlanet Earth. I can think of ideas you two couldn't dream of in amillion years. Ah, the universe has been waiting for me. Now, let'ssend that trip switch all over the ship. Did I ever tell you, best tempin Chiswick? Hundred words per minute. [NEW DOCTOR] Ha! --------------------------------------- (Crucible) [DALEK] System malfunction. [DALEK 2] Motor casing interference. [RED DALEK] What is happening? Explain! --------------------------------------- (Vault) [DONNA] Come on then, boys. We've got twenty seven planets to send home.Activate magnetron. [DAVROS] Stop this at once! [JACK] Mickey! [DAVROS] You will desist! [MICKEY] Just stay where you are, mister. [JACK] Out of the way. [SARAH] Good to see you again. [ROSE] Oh, you too. [DONNA] Ready? And reverse. [DOCTOR] Off you go, Clom. [NEW DOCTOR] Back home, Adipose Three. [DONNA] Shallacatop, Pyrovillia and the Lost Moon of Poosh. Sorted. Ha! [NEW DOCTOR] Ha! [DOCTOR] We need more power! [ROSE] Is anyone going to tell us what's going on? [DONNA] He poured all his regeneration energy into his spare hand. Itouched the hand, and he grew out of that but that fed back into me.But, it just stayed dormant in my head till the synapses got thatlittle extra spark, kicking them into life. Thank you, Davros! Parthuman, part Time Lord. And I got the best bit of the Doctor. I got hismind. [SARAH] So there's three of you? [ROSE] Three Doctors? [JACK] I can't tell you what I'm thinking right now. [DOCTOR] You're so unique the timelines were converging on you. Humanbeing with a Time Lord brain. [DAVROS] But you promised me, Dalek Caan. Why did you not foresee this? [DOCTOR] Oh, I think he did. Something's been manipulating the timelinesfor ages, getting Donna Noble to the right place at the right time. [CAAN] This would always have happened. I only helped, Doctor. [DAVROS] You betrayed the Daleks. [CAAN] I saw the Daleks. What we have done, throughout time and space, Isaw the truth of us, Creator, and I decreed, no more! --------------------------------------- (Crucible) [RED DALEK] I will descend to the Vault. --------------------------------------- (Vault) [JACK] Heads up! [RED DALEK] Davros, you have betrayed us. [DAVROS] It was Dalek Caan. [RED DALEK] The Vault will be purged. You will all be exterminated. [JACK] Like I was saying, feel this! [DOCTOR] Oh, we've lost the magnetron. And there's only one planet left.Oh, guess which one. But we can use the Tardis. [NEW DOCTOR] Holding Earth stability. Maintaining atmospheric shell. [CAAN] The prophecy must complete. [DAVROS] Don't listen to him. [CAAN] I have seen the end of everything Dalek, and you must make ithappen, Doctor. [NEW DOCTOR] He's right. Because with or without a Reality bomb, thisDalek Empire's big enough to slaughter the cosmos. They've got to bestopped. [DONNA] Just, just wait for the Doctor. [NEW DOCTOR] I am the Doctor. Maximising Dalekanium power feeds.Blasting them back! [DOCTOR] What have you done? [NEW DOCTOR] Fulfilling the prophecy. --------------------------------------- (Torchwood) [GWEN] There goes the Time Lock. --------------------------------------- (Vault) [DOCTOR] Do you know what you've done? Now get inthe Tardis! Everyone! All of you, inside! Run! --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR [OC]] In! In! In! In! [NEW DOCTOR] Sarah Jane! Rose! Jackie! Jack! Mickey! --------------------------------------- (Vault) [DOCTOR] Davros? Come with me. I promise I can save you. [DAVROS] Never forget, Doctor, you did this. I name you. Forever, youare the Destroyer of the Worlds! [CAAN] One will still die. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] And off we go. [SARAH] But what about the Earth? It's stuck in the wrong part of space. [DOCTOR] I'm on it. Torchwood Hub, this is the Doctor. Are you receivingme? --------------------------------------- (Torchwood) [GWEN] Loud and clear. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [GWEN [on scanner]] Is Jack there? [DOCTOR] Can't get rid of him. Jack, what's her name? [JACK] Gwen Cooper. [DOCTOR] Tell me, Gwen Cooper, --------------------------------------- (Torchwood) [DOCTOR [on screen]] Are you from an old Cardifffamily? [GWEN] Yes, all the way back to the eighteen hundreds. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] Ah, thought so. Spatial geneticmultiplicity. [ROSE] Oh, yeah. [DOCTOR] Yeah, it's a funny old world. Now, Torchwood, I want you toopen up that --------------------------------------- (Torchwood) [DOCTOR [on screen]] Rift Manipulator. Send all thepower to me. --------------------------------------- (Torchwood) [IANTO [on scanner]] Doing it now, sir. [GWEN] What's that for? [DOCTOR] It's a tow rope. Now then. Sarah, what was your son's name? [SARAH] Luke. He's called Luke. And the computer's called Mister Smith. [DOCTOR] Calling Luke and Mister Smith. --------------------------------------- (Sarah Jane's home) [DOCTOR [OC]] This is the Doctor. Come on, Luke.Shake a leg. [LUKE] Is Mum there? --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] Oh, she's fine and dandy. [SARAH] Yes! Yes! [DOCTOR] Now, Mister Smith, I want you to harness the Rift power andloop it around the Tardis. You got that? [MR SMITH [OC]] I regret I will need remote access to Tardis base codenumerals. [DOCTOR] Oh, blimey, that's going to take a while. [SARAH] No, no, no. Let me. K9, out you come! --------------------------------------- (Sarah Jane's home) [K9] Affirmative, Mistress. [DOCTOR [OC]] Oh! Oh ho! Oh, good dog! --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] K9, give Mister Smith the base code. --------------------------------------- (Sarah Jane's home) [K9] Master. Tardis base code now being transferred. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [K9 [OC]] The process is simple. [DOCTOR] Now then, you lot. Sarah, hold that down. Mickey, you holdthat. Because you know why this Tardis always is always rattling aboutthe place? Rose? That, there. It's designed to have six pilots, and Ihave to do it single handed. Martha, keep that level. But not any more.Jack, there you go. Steady that. Now we can fly this thing. No, Jackie.No, no. Not you. Don't touch anything. Just stand back. Like it's meantto be flown. We've got the Torchwood Rift looped around the Tardis byMister Smith, and we'regoing to fly Planet Earth back home. Right then. Off we go. [DONNA] That's really good, Jack. I think you're the best. [JACKIE] Good job! --------------------------------------- (Park) [SARAH] You know, you act like such a lonely man. But look at you.You've got the biggest family on Earth. [SARAH] Oh! Got to go. He's only fourteen. It's a long story. And thankyou! --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DONNA] Yeah, I'm fine. Are you all right? [MICKEY] I'm going to miss you more than anyone. [JACKIE] What do you mean? The Doctor's going to take us home, isn't he? [MICKEY] Well, that's the point. --------------------------------------- (Park) [DOCTOR] I told you, no teleport. And, Martha, get rid of thatOsterhagen thing, eh? Save the world one more time. [MARTHA] Consider it done. [JACK] You know, I'm not sure about UNIT these days. Maybe there'ssomething else you could be doing? [DOCTOR] Oi, where are you going? [MICKEY] Well, I'm not stupid. I can work out what happens next. Andhey, I had a good time in that parallel world, but my gran passed away.Nice and peaceful. She spent her last years living in a mansion.There's nothing there for me now, certainly not Rose. [DOCTOR] What will you do? [MICKEY] Anything. Brand new life. Just you watch. See you, boss. Hey,you two! [JACK] Oh. Thought I'd got rid of you. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] Just time for one last trip. Dårlig UlvStranden. Better known as --------------------------------------- (Dårlig Ulv Stranden) [JACKIE] Oh, fat lot of good this is. Back of beyond. Bloody Norway? I'mgoing tohave to phone your father. He's on the nursery run. I was pregnant, doyou remember? Had a baby boy. [NEW DOCTOR] Oh, brilliant. What did you call him? [JACKIE] Doctor. [NEW DOCTOR] Really? [JACKIE] No, you plum. He's called Tony. [ROSE] Hold on, this is the parallel universe, right? [DOCTOR] You're back home. [DONNA] And the walls of the world are closing again, now that theReality Bomb never happened. It's dimensional retroclosure. See, Ireally get that stuff now. [ROSE] No, but I spent all that time trying to find you. I'm not goingback now. [DOCTOR] But you've got to. Because we saved the universe, but at acost. And the cost is him. He destroyed the Daleks. He committedgenocide. He's too dangerous to be left on his own. [NEW DOCTOR] You made me. [DOCTOR] Exactly. You were born in battle, full of blood and anger andrevenge. Remind you of someone? That's me, when we first met. And youmade me better. Now you can do the same for him. [ROSE] But he's not you. [DOCTOR] He needs you. That's very me. [DONNA] But it's better than that, though. Don't you see what he'strying to give you? Tell her. Go on. [NEW DOCTOR] I look like him and I think like him. Same memories, samethoughts, same everything. Except I've only got one heart. [ROSE] Which means? [NEW DOCTOR] I'm part human. Specifically, the aging part. I'll grow oldand never regenerate. I've only got one life, Rose Tyler. I could spendit with you, if you want. [ROSE] You'll grow old at the same time as me? [NEW DOCTOR] Together. [DOCTOR] We've got to go. This reality is sealing itself off for ever. [ROSE] But, it's still not right, because the Doctor's still you. [DOCTOR] And I'm him. [ROSE] All right. Both of you, answer me this. When I last stood on thisbeach, on the worst day of my life, what was the last thing you said tome? Go on, say it. [DOCTOR] I said, Rose Tyler. [ROSE] Yeah, and how was that sentence going to end? [DOCTOR] Does it need saying? [ROSE] And you, Doctor? What was the end of that sentence? --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DONNA] I thought we could try the planet Felspoon.Just because. What a good name, Felspoon. Apparently, it's gotmountains that sway in the breeze. Mountains that move. Can youimagine? [DOCTOR] And how do you know that? [DONNA] Because it's in your head. And if it's in your head, it's inmine. [DOCTOR] And how does that feel? [DONNA] Brilliant! Fantastic! Molto bene! Great big universe, packedinto my brain. You know you could fix that chameleon circuit if youjust tried hotbinding the fragment links and superseding the binary,binary, binary, binary, binary, binary, binary, binary, binary, binary,binary, binary, binary, binary. (gasp) I'm fine. Nah, never mindFelspoon. You know who I'd like to meet? Charlie Chaplin. I bet he'sgreat, Charlie Chaplin. Shall we do that? Shall we go and see CharlieChaplin? Shall we? Charlie Chaplin? Charlie Chester. Charlie Brown. No,he's fiction. Friction, fiction, fixing, mixing, Rickston, Brixton. [DONNA] Oh, my God. [DOCTOR] Do you know what's happening? [DONNA] Yeah. [DOCTOR] There's never been a human Time Lord metacrisis before now. Andyou know why. [DONNA] Because there can't be. I want to stay. [DOCTOR] Look at me. Donna, look at me. [DONNA] I was going to be with you forever. [DOCTOR] I know. [DONNA] The rest of my life, travelling in the Tardis. The Doctor Donna.No. Oh my god. I can't go back. Don't make me go back. Doctor, please,please don't make me go back. [DOCTOR] Donna. Oh, Donna Noble. I am so sorry. But we had the best oftimes. [DONNA] No. [DOCTOR] The best. Goodbye. [DONNA] No, no, no. Please. Please. No. No. [DONNA] No! --------------------------------------- (Nobles' home) [WILF] That must be her. Donna? [DOCTOR] Help me. [WILF] Donna? Donna? --------------------------------------- (Sitting room) [DOCTOR] She took my mind into her own head. Butthat's a Time Lord consciousness. All that knowledge, it was killingher. [WILF] But she'll get better now? [DOCTOR] I had to wipe her mind completely. Every trace of me, or theTardis, anything we did together, anywhere we went, had to go. [WILF] All those wonderful things she did. [DOCTOR] I know. But that version of Donna is dead. Because if sheremembers, just for a second, she'll burn up. You can never tell her.You can't mention me or any of it for the rest of her life. [SYLVIA] But the whole world's talking about it. We travelled acrossspace. [DOCTOR] It'll just be a story. One of those Donna Noble stories, whereshe missed it all again. [WILF] But she was better with you. [SYLVIA] Don't say that. [WILF] No, she was. [DOCTOR] I just want you to know there are worlds out there, safe in thesky because of her. That there are people living in the light, andsinging songs of Donna Noble, a thousand million light years away. Theywill never forget her, while she can never remember. And for onemoment, one shining moment, she was the most important woman in thewhole wide universe. [SYLVIA] She still is. She's my daughter. [DOCTOR] Then maybe you should tell her that once in a while. [DONNA] I was asleep on my bed in my clothes, like a flipping kid! Whatdo you let me do that for? Don't mind me. Donna. [DOCTOR] John Smith. [SYLVIA] Mister Smith was just leaving. [DONNA] My phone's gone mad. Thirty two texts. Veena's gone barmy. She'ssaying planets in the sky. What have I missed now? Nice to meet you. [SYLVIA] As I said, I think you should go. --------------------------------------- (Kitchen) [DONNA] How thick do you think I am? Planets. Tell you what that was,dumbo. That's those two for one lagers you gets down the offy becauseyou fancy that little man in there with the goatee. Ha ha! Yes, you do.I've seen you. [DOCTOR] Donna? I was just going. [DONNA] Yeah, see you. I tell you what though, you're wasting your timewith that one, because Susie Mair, she went on that dating site, andshe saw him. No, no, no, no. Listen, listen, this is important. SusieMair wouldn't lie. Not unless it was about calories. Ha ha ha! --------------------------------------- (Outside the Nobles' home) [DOCTOR] Ah. You'll have quite a bit of this. Atmospheric disturbance.Still, it'll pass. Everything does. Bye then, Wilfred. [WILF] Oh, Doctor? What about you now? Who've you got? I mean, all thosefriends of yours. [DOCTOR] They've all got someone else. Still, that's fine. I'm fine. [WILF] I'll watch out for you, sir. [DOCTOR] You can't ever tell her. [WILF] No, no, no. But every night, Doctor, when it gets dark, and thestars come out, I'll look up on her behalf. I'll look up at the sky,and think of you. [DOCTOR] Thank you.

[BOY] Year of our Lord 1851, sir. [DOCTOR] Right. Nice year. Bit dull. [ROSITA [OC]] Doctor! Doctor! [DOCTOR] Who, me? --------------------------------------- (Alleyway) [DOCTOR] Don't worry, don't worry. Stand back. What have we got here?(The large double doors in the wall move and something snarls behindit.) [DOCTOR] Ooo. Okay, I've got it. Whatever's behind that door, I thinkyou should get out of here. [ROSITA] Doctor! [DOCTOR] No, no. I'm standing right here. Hello. [ROSITA] Don't be stupid. Who are you? [DOCTOR] I'm the Doctor. [ROSITA] Doctor who? [ROSITA] Just the Doctor. [ROSITA] Well, there can't be two of you. [ROSITA] Where the hell have you been? [NEXT DOCTOR] Right then. Don't worry. Stand back. What have we got herethen? [DOCTOR] Hold on, hold on. Who are you? [NEXT DOCTOR] I'm the Doctor. Simply, the Doctor. The one, the only andthe best. Rosita, give me the sonic screwdriver. [DOCTOR] The what? [NEXT DOCTOR] Now quickly, get back to the Tardis. [DOCTOR] Back to the what? [NEXT DOCTOR] If you could stand back, sir. This is a job for a TimeLord. [DOCTOR] Job for a what lord? [DOCTOR] Oh, that's different. [NEXT DOCTOR] Oh, that's new. [TOGETHER] Allons-y. [NEXT DOCTOR] I've been hunting this beast for a good fortnight. Nowstep back, sir. [DOCTOR] Some sort of primitive conversion, like they took the brain ofa cat or a dog. [NEXT DOCTOR] Well, talking's all very well. Rosita? [ROSITA] I'm ready. [NEXT DOCTOR] Now, watch and learn. [NEXT DOCTOR] Excellent. Now then, let's pull this timorous beastie downto earth. [DOCTOR] Or not. [NEXT DOCTOR] I might be in a little bit of trouble. [DOCTOR] Nothing changes. I've got you. [ROSITA] You idiots! [NEXT DOCTOR] Perhaps if you could pull? [DOCTOR] I am pulling. In this position, I couldn't not pull, could I? [NEXT DOCTOR] Then I suggest you let go, sir. [DOCTOR] I'm not letting you out of my sight, Doctor. Don't yourecognise me? [NEXT DOCTOR] No, should I? Have we met? This is hardly the right timefor me to go through my social calendar. Argh! --------------------------------------- (Warehouse) [DOCTOR] Whoa! [DOCTOR] It's going to jump! [NEXT DOCTOR] We're goanna fall! --------------------------------------- (Alleyway) [ROSITA] Well, I'm glad you think it's so funny.You're mad. Both of you. You could've got killed. [NEXT DOCTOR] But evidently we did not. Oh, I should introduce Rosita.My faithful companion. Always telling me off. [DOCTOR] Well, they do, don't they? Rosita. Good name. Hello, Rosita. [ROSITA] Huh. Now I'll have to go and dismantle the traps. All that fornothing. And we've only got twenty minutes till the funeral, don'tforget. Then back to the Tardis, right? [DOCTOR] Funeral? [NEXT DOCTOR] Oh, long story. Not my own, not yet. Oh, I'm not as youngas I was. [DOCTOR] Well, not as young as you were when you were me. [NEXT DOCTOR] When I was who? [DOCTOR] You really don't recognise me? [NEXT DOCTOR] Not at all. [DOCTOR] But you're the Doctor. The next Doctor. Or the next but one. Afuture Doctor anyway. No, no, don't tell me how it happened. Although,I hope I don't just trip over a brick. That'd be embarrassing. Thenagain, painless. Worse ways to go. Depends on the brick. [NEXT DOCTOR] You're gabbling, sir. Now might I ask, who are you,exactly? [DOCTOR] No, I'm, er, I'm just. Smith. John Smith. But I've heard allabout you, Doctor. Bit of a legend, if I say so myself. [NEXT DOCTOR] Modesty forbids me to agree with you, sir. But yes. Yes, Iam. [DOCTOR] A legend with certain memories missing. Am I right? [NEXT DOCTOR] How do you know that? [DOCTOR] You've forgotten me. [NEXT DOCTOR] Great swathes of my life have been stolen away. When Iturn my mind to the past, there's nothing. [DOCTOR] Going how far back? [NEXT DOCTOR] Since the Cybermen. Masters of that hellish wall-scuttlerand old enemies of mine, now at work in London town. You won't believethis, Mister Smith, but they are creatures from another world. [DOCTOR] Really. Wow. [NEXT DOCTOR] It's said they fell onto London, out of the sky in a blazeof light. And they found me. Something was taken. And something waslost. What was I like, in the past? [DOCTOR] I don't think I should say. Sorry. Got to be careful withmemory loss. One wrong word [NEXT DOCTOR] It's strange, though. I talk of Cybermen from the starsand you don't blink, Mister Smith. [DOCTOR] Ah, don't blink. Remember that? Whatever you do, don't blink?The blinking and the statues? Sally and the angels? No? [NEXT DOCTOR] You're a very odd man. [DOCTOR] Hmm, I still am. Something's wrong here. [NEXT DOCTOR] Oh, the funeral! The funeral's at two o'clock. It's been apleasure, Mister Smith. Don't breathe a word of it. [DOCTOR] Oh, but can't I come with you? [NEXT DOCTOR] It's far dangerous. Rest assured, I shall keep this citysafe. Oh, and, er merry Christmas, Mister Smith. [DOCTOR] Merry Christmas, Doctor. --------------------------------------- (Vault) [CYBERLEADER] Report. [CYBERMAN] Cybershade sixteen has made contact. [CYBERLEADER] Then observe the enemy. This man is dangerous. This man isour enemy. This man is the Doctor. [NEXT DOCTOR [on monitor]] I've been hunting this beast for a goodfortnight. Now step back, sir. [CYBERLEADER] The attack is scheduled for fourteen hours. Plans for theAscension demand a successful intervention. Is everything in position? [HARTIGAN] That's rather dependent on you. All I can promise is to do mybest. [CYBERLEADER] Define the parameters of best. [HARTIGAN] As you would say, I will operate at maximum efficiency. Andyou'll keep your part of the bargain? [CYBERLEADER] You will be heralded in the new age, at the Court of theCyberKing. [ALL] The CyberKing will rise. [HARTIGAN] The CyberKing will rise, indeed. How like a man. Now ifyou'll excuse me, I have a funeral to attend. --------------------------------------- (Street) [NEXT DOCTOR] The late Reverend Fairchild, leaving his place ofresidence for the last time. God rest his soul. Now, with the houseempty, I shall effect an entrance at the rear while you go back to theTardis. This is hardly work for a woman. [ROSITA] Oh, don't mind me saving your life. That's work for a woman,isn't it? [NEXT DOCTOR] The Doctor's companion does what The Doctor says. Off yougo. [DOCTOR] Hello. [NEXT DOCTOR] How did you get in? [DOCTOR] Oh, front door. I'm good at doors. Er, do you mind my asking,is that your sonic screwdriver? [NEXT DOCTOR] Yes. I'd be lost without it. [DOCTOR] But that's a screwdriver. How's it sonic? [NEXT DOCTOR] Well, er, it makes a noise. That's sonic, isn't it? Now,since we're acting like common burglars, I suggest we get out of plainview. --------------------------------------- (Rev Fairchild's house) [DOCTOR] This investigation of yours, what's itabout? [NEXT DOCTOR] It started with a murder. [DOCTOR] Oh, good. I mean bad, but whose? [NEXT DOCTOR] Mr Jackson Lake, a teacher of mathematics from Sussex. Hecame to London three weeks ago and died a terrible death. [DOCTOR] Cybermen? [NEXT DOCTOR] It's hard to say. His body was never found. But then itstarted. More secret murders, then abductions. Children, stolen away insilence. [DOCTOR] So whose house is this? [NEXT DOCTOR] The latest murder. The Reverend Aubrey Fairchild, foundwith burns to his forehead, like some advanced form of electrocution. [DOCTOR] But who was he? Was he important? [NEXT DOCTOR] You ask a lot of questions. [DOCTOR] I'm your companion. [NEXT DOCTOR] The Reverend was the pillar of the community, a member ofmany parish boards. A keen advocate of children's charities. [DOCTOR] Children again. But why would the Cybermen want him dead? Andwhat's his connection to the first death, this Jackson Lake? [NEXT DOCTOR] It's funny. I seem to be telling you everything, as thoughyou engendered some sort of trust. You seem familiar, Mister Smith. Iknow your face. But how? [DOCTOR] I wonder. I can't help noticing you're wearing a fob watch. [NEXT DOCTOR] Is that important? [DOCTOR] Legend has it that the memories of a Time Lord can be containedwithin a watch. Do you mind? [DOCTOR] It's said that if it's opened [DOCTOR] Oh. Maybe not. [NEXT DOCTOR] It was more for decoration. [DOCTOR] Yeah. Anyway, alien infiltration. [NEXT DOCTOR] Yes. Just look for anything different. Possibly metal.Anything that doesn't seem to belong. Perhaps a mechanical device thatcould fit no earthly engine. [NEXT DOCTOR] It could even seem to be organic, but unlike any organismof the natural world. Shush! What's that noise? [DOCTOR] Oh, it's just me, whistling. I wonder what's in here, though. [DOCTOR] Ah. Different and metal, you were right. [DOCTOR] They are infostamps. I mean, at a guess. If I were you, I'd saythey worked something like this. [DOCTOR] See? Compressed information. Tons of it. That is the history ofLondon, 1066 to the present day. This is like a disc, a Cyberdisc. Butwhy would the Cybermen need something so simple? They've got to bewireless. Unless, they're in the wrong century. They haven't got muchpower. They need plain old basic infostamps to update themselves. Areyou all right? [NEXT DOCTOR] I'm fine. [DOCTOR] No, what is it? What's wrong? [NEXT DOCTOR] I've seen one of these before. I was holding this devicethe night I lost my mind. The night I regenerated. The Cybermen, theymade me change. My mind, my face, my whole self. And you were there.Who are you? [DOCTOR] A friend. I swear. [NEXT DOCTOR] Then I beg you, John. Help me. [DOCTOR] Ah. Two words I never refuse. But it's not a conversation for adead man's house. It'll make more sense if we go back to the Tardis.Your Tardis. Hold on. I just need to do a little final check. Won'ttake a tick. There's one more thing I cannot figure. If this room's gotinfostamps, then maybe, just maybe, it's got something that needsinfostamping. [DOCTOR] Okay. [DOCTOR] I think we should run. [DOCTOR] Run, Doctor! Now, Doctor! [CYBERMAN] Delete. The Doctor will be deleted. [CYBERMAN 2] Delete. [DOCTOR] Stairs! Can't lead them outside! [CYBERMAN] Delete. [DOCTOR] I'm a dab hand with a cutlass. You don't want to come near mewhen I've got one of these. This is your last warning. No? Olay, thisis really your last warning! Okay, I give up. [CYBERMAN] Delete. [DOCTOR] Listen to me properly. Whatever you're doing stuck in 1851, Ican help! I mean it. I'm the only person in the world who can help you!Listen to me! [CYBERMAN] Delete. [DOCTOR] I'm the Doctor. You need me. Check your memory banks. My name'sthe Doctor. Leave this man alone. The Doctor is me! [CYBERMAN] Delete. [DOCTOR] The Doctor, remember? I'm the Doctor! You need me alive. Youneed the Doctor, and that's me! [CYBERMAN] Delete. [DOCTOR] Infostamp with a Cyclo-Steinham core. You ripped open the coreand broke the safety. Zap! Only the Doctor would think of that. [NEXT DOCTOR] I did that last time. [DOCTOR] Come here. You'll be okay. Let me just check. [NEXT DOCTOR] You told them you were the Doctor. Why did you do that? [DOCTOR] Oh, I was just protecting you. [NEXT DOCTOR] You're trying to take away the only thing I've got, likethey did. They stole something, something so precious, but I can'tremember. What happened to me? What did they do? [DOCTOR] We'll find out. You and me together. --------------------------------------- (Cemetery) [VICAR] Forasmuch as it hath pleased Almighty God of his great mercy totake unto Himself the soul of our dear brother here departed, wetherefore commit his body to the ground. Earth to earth, ashes to ashesand dust to dust, in sure and certain hope of the Resurrection toeternal life, through our Lord Jesus Christ, who shall change our vilebody, that it may be like unto his glorious body, according to themighty working [HARTIGAN] Do continue. [VICAR] Madam, I must protest. [HARTIGAN] Whatever for? [VICAR] A lady at the graveside is debatable enough, but your apparel. [HARTIGAN] Is it too exciting? [COLE] You're disgracing the ceremony, dressed like a harlot. [HARTIGAN] Oh, and you should know, Mister Cole. [COLE] How do you know my name? [HARTIGAN] You've walked past me so many times, all you good men ofcharity, never once asking my name. [SCOONES] It's Miss Hartigan, isn't it? [HARTIGAN] Oh, you noticed. I saw you looking, you cheeky boy. [VICAR] I'm sorry, but who is she? [HARTIGAN] Matron of the St Joseph Workhouse, your humble servant. Oh,I've watched you all. Visiting, smiling, bestowing your beneficenceupon the poor while I scrubbed down their filthy beds. [VICAR] I must insist that you depart. [HARTIGAN] But that's why the late Reverend Fairchild had to die. Togather you all in one place. Where better than a funeral? Man that isborn of woman hath but a short time to live. Although I've got somefriends who might disagree with that. Would you like to meet them?Hark! I can hear them now. [HARTIGAN] Mister Cole, Mister Scoones, Mister Fetch, Mister Milligan,stay where you are. You're needed. The rest of you are disposable.Sorry. [VICAR] What manner of men are they? [HARTIGAN] Cybermen. [MAN] Save yourselves! [HARTIGAN] I repeat. Mister Cole, Mister Scoones, Mister Fetch, MisterMilligan. Stay. [COLE] You monstrous witch. [HARTIGAN] Merry Christmas to you, too. [SCOONES] But why are we spared? What do you need us for? [HARTIGAN] Your children. It's funny, now I think of it, but in allthese years not one of you has asked my first name. It's Mercy. --------------------------------------- (Alleyway) [ROSITA] Doctor! I thought you were dead! [NEXT DOCTOR] Now then, Rosita. A little decorum. [ROSITA] You've been gone for so long. He's always doing this, leavingme behind. Going frantic. [NEXT DOCTOR] What about the Tardis? [ROSITA] Oh, she's ready. Come on. [DOCTOR] I'm looking forward to this. --------------------------------------- (Stables) [DOCTOR] So, you live here? [NEXT DOCTOR] A temporary base, until we rout the enemy. The Tardis ismagnificent, but it's hardly a home. [DOCTOR] And where's the Tardis now? [NEXT DOCTOR] In the yard. [DOCTOR] Er, what's all this luggage? [NEXT DOCTOR] Evidence. The property of Jackson Lake, the first man tobe murdered. Oh, but my new friend is a fighter, Rosita, much likemyself. He faced the Cybermen with a cutlass. I'm not ashamed to say,he was braver than I. He was quite brilliant. [NEXT DOCTOR] Are you whistling again? [DOCTOR] Yes. Yes, I am, yeah. Yeah. [ROSITA] That's another man's property. [DOCTOR] Well, a dead man's. [DOCTOR] How did you two meet, then? [ROSITA] He saved my life. Late one night, by the Osterman's Wharf, thiscreature came out of the shadows. A man made of metal. I thought I wasgoing to die. And then, there he was. The Doctor. Can you help him,sir? He has such terrible dreams. Wakes at night in such a state ofterror. [NEXT DOCTOR] Come now, Rosita. With all the things a Time Lord hasseen, everything he's lost, he may surely have bad dreams. [DOCTOR] Yeah. Oh, now. Look. Jackson Lake had an infostamp. [NEXT DOCTOR] But how? Is that significant? [DOCTOR] Doctor, the answer to all this is in your Tardis. Can I see it? [NEXT DOCTOR] Mister Smith, it would be my honour. --------------------------------------- (Yard) [NEXT DOCTOR] There she is. My transport throughtime and space. The Tardis. [DOCTOR] You've got a balloon. [NEXT DOCTOR] Tardis. T A R D I S. It stands for Tethered Aerial ReleaseDeveloped In Style. Do you see? [DOCTOR] Well, I do now. I like it. Good Tardis. Brilliant. Nice one.And is it inflated by gas, yeah? [NEXT DOCTOR] We're adjacent to the Mutton Street Gasworks. I pay them amodest fee. Good work, Jed. [JED] Glad to be of service, sir. [DOCTOR] You've got quite a bit of money. [NEXT DOCTOR] Oh, you get nothing for nothing. How's that ripped panel,Jed? [JED] All repaired. Should work a treat. You never know, maybe tonight'sthe night, Doctor. Imagine it, seeing Christmas from above. [NEXT DOCTOR] Not just yet, I think. One day, I will ascend. One daysoon. [DOCTOR] You've never actually been up? [ROSITA] He dreams of leaving, but never does. [NEXT DOCTOR] I can depart in the Tardis once London is safe. Andfinally, when I'm up there. Think of it, John. The time and the space. [DOCTOR] The perfect escape. Do you ever wonder what you're escapingfrom? [NEXT DOCTOR] With every moment. [DOCTOR] Then do you want me to tell you? Because I think I've worked itout now. How you became The Doctor. What do you think? Do you want toknow? --------------------------------------- (Street) [HARTIGAN] Mister Cole, Mister Scoones, Mister Fetch and MisterMilligan, you have your instructions and the Court of the CyberKing iswaiting. First of all, let's just see. A little test. Turn right. Turnleft. And face me. Oh, I could do this forever. But now, set about yourappointed tasks, and bring them to me. --------------------------------------- (Stables) [DOCTOR] The story begins with the Cybermen. A longtime away, and not so far from here, the Cybermen were fought, and theywere beaten. And they were sent into a howling wilderness called TheVoid, locked inside forever more. But then a greater battle rose up, sogreat that everything inside the Void perished. But, as the walls ofthe world weakened, the last of the Cybermen must have fallen throughthe dimensions, back in time, to land here. And they found you. [NEXT DOCTOR] I fought them, I know that. But what happened? [DOCTOR] At the same time, another man came to London. Mister JacksonLake. Plenty of luggage, money in his pocket. Maybe coming to town forthe winter season, I don't know. But he found the Cybermen too. Andjust like you, exactly like you, he took hold of an infostamp. [NEXT DOCTOR] But he's dead. Jackson Lake is dead. The Cybermen murderedhim. [DOCTOR] You said no body was ever found. And you kept all hissuitcases, but you could never bring yourself to open them. I told youthe answer was in the fob watch. Can I see? [DOCTOR] J L. The watch is Jackson Lake's. [ROSITA] Jackson Lake is you, sir? [LAKE] But I'm the Doctor. [DOCTOR] You became the Doctor because the infostamp you picked up was abook about one particular man. [DOCTOR] The Cybermen's database. Stolen from the Daleks inside theVoid, I'd say, but it's everything you could want to know about theDoctor. [LAKE] That's you. [DOCTOR] Time Lord, Tardis, enemy of the Cybermen. The one and the only.You see, the infostamp must have backfired. Streamed all thatinformation about me right inside your head. [LAKE] I am nothing but a lie. [DOCTOR] No, no, no, no, no. Infostamps are just facts and figures. Allthat bravery. Saving Rosita, defending London town, hmm? And theinvention. Building a Tardis. That's all you. [LAKE] And what else? Tell me what else. [DOCTOR] There's still something missing, isn't there? [LAKE] I demand you tell me, sir. Tell me what they took. [DOCTOR] Sorry. Really, I am so sorry, but that's an awful lot ofluggage for one man. Because an infostamp is plain technology. It's notenough to make a man lose his mind. What you suffered is called afugue. A fugue state, where the mind just runs away because it can'tbear to look back. You wanted to become someone else, because JacksonLake had lost so much. [ROSITA] Midnight. Christmas Day. [LAKE] I remember. Oh, my God. [LAKE [memory]] Caroline, get out! [LAKE] Caroline. They killed my wife. They killed her. [DOCTOR] Oh, you found a whole cache of infostamps. [ROSITA] But what is it? What's that noise? [DOCTOR] Activation. A call to arms. The Cybermen are moving! [LAKE] The Doctor needs help. I learnt that much about him. There shouldbe someone at his side. Now go. Go. --------------------------------------- (Street) [ROSITA] What is it? What's happening? That's Mister Cole. He's Masterof the Hazel Street Workhouse. Maybe he's taking them to prayers. [DOCTOR] Oh, nothing as holy as that. [DOCTOR] Can you hear me? Hello? No? Mister Cole, you seem to havesomething in your ear. Now, this might hurt a bit, but if I can just [DOCTOR] Ah. They're on guard. Can't risk a fight. Not with thechildren. [ROSITA] But where are they going? [JED] They all need a good whipping, if you ask me. There's tons ofthem. I've just seen another lot coming down from the Ingleby Workhousedown Broadback Lane. [DOCTOR] Where's that? [ROSITA] This way. --------------------------------------- (Lane) [ROSITA] There's dozens of them. [DOCTOR] But what for? --------------------------------------- (Outside the sewage works) [SCOONES] You will continue. You will enter the Court of the CyberKing.March. That is an order. March! --------------------------------------- (Stables) [LAKE] Where is it? Where is it? --------------------------------------- (Outside a building) [ROSITA] That's the door to the sluice. All thesewage runs through there, straight into the Thames. [DOCTOR] Yeah, that's too well guarded. We'll have to find another wayin. [DOCTOR] Whoa! That's cheating, sneaking up. Do you have your legs onsilent? [HARTIGAN] So, what do we have here? [DOCTOR] Listen. Just walk towards me slowly. Don't let them touch you. [HARTIGAN] Oh, but they wouldn't hurt me, my fine boys. They are myknights in shining armour, quite literally. [DOCTOR] Even if they've converted you, that's not a Cyber speechpattern. You've still got free will. I'm telling you, step away. [HARTIGAN] There's been no conversion, sir. No one's ever been able tochange my mind. The Cybermen offered me the one thing I wanted.Liberation. [ROSITA] Who are you? [HARTIGAN] You can be quiet. I doubt he paid you to talk. Moreimportantly, who are you, sir, with such intimate knowledge of mycompanions. [DOCTOR] I'm the Doctor. [CYBERMAN] Incorrect. You do not correspond to our image of the Doctor. [DOCTOR] Yeah, but that's because your database got corrupted. Oh, look,look, look. Check this. The Doctor's infostamp. [DOCTOR] Plug it in. Go on. Download. [CYBERMAN] The core has been damaged. This infostamp would damageCyberunits. [DOCTOR] Oh, well. Nice try. [CYBERMAN] Core repaired. Download. [CYBERMAN] You are the Doctor. [DOCTOR] Hello. [CYBERMAN] You will be deleted. [DOCTOR] No, no. Oh, but let me die happy. Tell me, what do you needthose children for? [HARTIGAN] What are children ever needed for? They're a workforce. [DOCTOR] But for what? [HARTIGAN] Very soon now, the whole Empire will see. And they will bowdown in worship. [DOCTOR] And it's all been timed for Christmas Day. Was that your idea,Miss ? [HARTIGAN] Hartigan. Yes. The perfect day for a birth, with a newmessage for the people. Only this time, it won't be the words of a man. [DOCTOR] The birth of what? [HARTIGAN] A birth, and a death. Namely, yours. Thank you, Doctor. I'mglad to have been part of your very last conversation. Now, deletethem. [CYBERMAN] Delete. [LAKE] At your service, Doctor. [HARTIGAN] Shades! Shades! [DOCTOR] Run! Come on! [HARTIGAN] Shades! [ROSITA] One last thing. [DOCTOR] Can I say, I completely disapprove. Come on. [HARTIGAN] Get off me. I said, get off. Tell your masters we're notwaiting till dawn. The CyberKing will rise tonight! --------------------------------------- (Alley) [DOCTOR] That stronghold down by the river. I needto find a way in. [LAKE] I'm ahead of you. My wife and I were moving to London so I couldtake up a post at the university. And while my memory is still notintact, this was in the luggage. The deeds. Fifteen Latimer Street. Andif I discovered the Cybermen there, in the cellar, then [DOCTOR] That might be our way in. Brilliant. [LAKE] There's still more. I remember the cellar and my wife, but Iswear there was something else in that room. If we can find that,perhaps that's the key to defeating these invaders. So, onwards! [DOCTOR] Maybe you should go back [ROSITA] Don't even try. --------------------------------------- (Control room) [CYBERLEADER] You have wisdom. If the Doctor isplanning to intervene, then the Ascension will commence immediately. [HARTIGAN] Excellent. And as for you, Mister Cole, Mister Scoones,Mister Fetch and Mister Milligan, your work is done. [HARTIGAN] Children! Pay attention. Now let the new IndustrialRevolution begin. I want to see you work! [CYBERLEADER] Energy levels sixty percent and rising. Soon the CyberKingwill awake. [HARTIGAN] Then show me. --------------------------------------- (Cellar) [CYBERMAN] Delete. [DOCTOR] It must've been guarding this. A Dimension Vault. Stolen fromthe Daleks again. That's how the Cybermen travelled through time.Jackson, is this it? The thing you couldn't remember? [LAKE] I don't think so. I just can't see. It's like it's hidden. [DOCTOR] Not enough power. Come on! Avanti! --------------------------------------- (Throne room) [HARTIGAN] Oh, that is magnificent. That is royalty, indeed. And that'squite a throne. Oh, you will look resplendent. [CYBERLEADER] The chair you designate as throne is not intended for me.My function is to serve the CyberKing, not to become the CyberKing. [HARTIGAN] Then who sits there? [HARTIGAN] No! Now, just. I think if you remember correctly you said Iwas to be heralded. [CYBERLEADER] All hail the CyberKing. [ALL] All hail the CyberKing. [HARTIGAN] But you promised me. You said I would never be converted. [CYBERLEADER] That was designated a lie. --------------------------------------- (Sewers) [ROSITA] What do the Cybermen want? [DOCTOR] They want us. That's what Cybermen are. Human beings with theirbrains put into metal shells. They want every living thing to be likethem. --------------------------------------- (Throne room) [HARTIGAN] You can't do this to me! [CYBERLEADER] Incorrect. It is done. [HARTIGAN] But I would have served you anyway! [CYBERLEADER] Your mind is riven with anger and abuse and revenge. Thesehave no place in a Cybermind. Activate. Emotions have tormented you allof your life. Now you will be set free. This is your liberation. [HARTIGAN] Oh, for the love of God, have you no pity? [CYBERLEADER] Correct. [CYBERLEADER] A CyberKing is born. [ALL] All hail the CyberKing. --------------------------------------- (Sewer) [LAKE] Upon my soul. [ROSITA] What is it? [DOCTOR] It's an engine. They're generating electricity, but what for? [LAKE] We can set them free. [DOCTOR] No, no, no, no, no, no, no. --------------------------------------- (Throne room) [HARTIGAN] Behold such information. --------------------------------------- (Control room) [DOCTOR] Power at ninety percent. But if we stop theengine, the power dies down, the Cybermen'll come running. Ooo. Holdon. Power fluctuation. That's not meant to happen. [LAKE] It's going wrong. [DOCTOR] No, it's weird. The software's rewriting itself. It's changing. --------------------------------------- (Throne room) [HARTIGAN] I can see the stars, the worlds beyond,the Vortex of Time itself, and the whole of infinity. Oh, but this isglorious! [CYBERLEADER] That is incorrect. Glorious is an emotional response. [HARTIGAN] Exactly. There is so much joy in this machine. [CYBERLEADER] Joy is not acceptable. [HARTIGAN] Don't you see? My mind is stronger than you ever thought. Itdominates, sir. It dominates you. [CYBERLEADER] Alert. You are operating beyond the standard parameters. [HARTIGAN] I am new. The might of your technology combined with my ownimagination. Yes! There will be a new race of Cybermen. My Cybermen.Logic and strength combined with fury and passion. [CYBERLEADER] Diagnosis, system failure. You will be removed from theprocessor. --------------------------------------- (Control room) [DOCTOR] Whoa! What the hell's happening? It's out of control. [LAKE] It's accelerating. Ninety six percent, ninety seven. [ROSITA] When it reaches a hundred, what about the children? [DOCTOR] They're disposable. Come on! --------------------------------------- (Throne room) [HARTIGAN] I am CyberKing. My mind inside theCybermen. And you will obey me! [ALL] All hail the CyberKing! --------------------------------------- (Control room) [CYBERMAN] Power levels now at one hundred percent.Delete the workforce. --------------------------------------- (Engine house) [CYBERMAN 2] Delete. [CYBERMAN 3] Delete. Delete. [DOCTOR] Right. Now, all of you, out! Do you hear me? That's an order!Every single one of you, run! [LAKE] All of you, come on, as fast as you can. Come on! [DOCTOR] There's a hot pie for everyone, if you leg it! [LAKE] Go! [DOCTOR] Rosita, get them out of sluice gate. Once you're out, keeprunning. Far as you can! Come on, come on, come on. [ROSITA] Turn right at the corner! Fast as you can. And don't stop! Keeprunning! Keep running! --------------------------------------- (Throne room) [HARTIGAN] Come, my soldiers. Come to me. --------------------------------------- (Outside the sewage works) [ROSITA] Come on! Come on! Keep running! Keeprunning! --------------------------------------- (Engine house) [DOCTOR] Go! Quick, quick. It's some sort of starter motor, but startingwhat? [LAKE] That's my son. My son. Doctor, my son! [DOCTOR] What? [LAKE] They took my son. No wonder my mind escaped. Those damnedCybermen, they took my child! But he's alive, Doctor. Frederick! [DOCTOR] Come on! [LAKE] No, he's too scared. Stay there! Don't move! I'm coming. --------------------------------------- (Throne room) [HARTIGAN] CyberKing rising. --------------------------------------- (Engine house) [LAKE] I can't get up there. Fred! [DOCTOR] They've finished with the motor. It's going to blow up. [LAKE] What are we going to do, Doctor? What are we going to do? [DOCTOR] Come on, Jackson. You know me. [DOCTOR] Oh, that's it. Hello. Now, hold on tight. Don't let go. [DOCTOR] Merry Christmas. --------------------------------------- (Street) [ROSITA] Go to St Stephen's. Ask for the Warden,he'll take care of you. Now run! Quickly! [MAN] It's under the water! There's something in the Thames! --------------------------------------- (Cellar) [DOCTOR] Head for the street. [LAKE] Come on, Doctor. Hurry up! [DOCTOR] Gotcha! --------------------------------------- (CyberKing) [HARTIGAN] Behold, I am risen. Witness me, mankind, as CyberKing of all. --------------------------------------- (Street) [DOCTOR] It's a CyberKing. [LAKE] And a CyberKing is what? [DOCTOR] It's a ship. Dreadnought class. Front line of an invasion. Andinside the chest, a Cyberfactory, ready to convert millions. --------------------------------------- (CyberKing) [HARTIGAN] And I will walk. I will stride acrossthis tiny little world. [HARTIGAN] My people. Why do they not rejoice? --------------------------------------- (Street) [DOCTOR] Just head south. Take him south. Go to theparkland. [LAKE] But where are you going?! [DOCTOR] To stop that thing. [LAKE] But I should be with you. [DOCTOR] Jackson, you've got your son. You've got a reason to live. [LAKE] And you haven't? God save you, Doctor. --------------------------------------- (Stable) [JED] What the hell is that thing, sir? [DOCTOR] Oh, good man. Jed, wasn't it? Jed, I need your help! [JED] I'm not going out there. [DOCTOR] I'll give you five pound notes. [JED] Er. All right. What do you want me to do? [DOCTOR] The Tardis is going to fly. --------------------------------------- (CyberKing) [HARTIGAN] People of the world, now hear me. Yourgovernments will surrender. And if not, then behold my power. --------------------------------------- (Yard) [JED] You're flaming bonkers, sir. [DOCTOR] It's been said before. Now give me. [DOCTOR] Not enough power. Come on! Jed, let her loose. [JED] Ever flown one of these before? [DOCTOR] Nope, never. [JED] Can I have my money now? [DOCTOR] Oh, get on with it. --------------------------------------- (Street) [ROSITA] Oh, sir. I thought I'd lost you. [LAKE] My son, Rosita. This boy is my son. --------------------------------------- (Yard) [JED] Good luck to you, sir! --------------------------------------- (Street) [LAKE] It's the Tardis. She's flying. [YOUNG MAN] Who the hell is that? [LAKE] His name, sir, is the Doctor. --------------------------------------- (CyberKing) [CYBERMAN] Attention. Proximity alert. [HARTIGAN] How is that even possible? Oh, this I would see. Turn! [HARTIGAN] Excellent. The Doctor. Yet another man come to assert himselfagainst me in the night. [DOCTOR] Miss Hartigan? I'm offering you a choice. You might have themost remarkable mind this world has ever seen. Strong enough to controlthe Cybermen themselves. [HARTIGAN] I don't need you to sanction me. [DOCTOR] No, but such a mind deserves to live. The Cybermen came to thisworld using a Dimension vault. I can use that device to find you ahome, with no people to convert, but a new world where you can live outyour mechanical life in peace. [HARTIGAN] I have the world below, and it is abundant with so many mindsready to become extensions of me. Why would I leave this place? [DOCTOR] Because if you don't, I'll have to stop you. [HARTIGAN] What do you make of me, sir? An idiot? [DOCTOR] No. The question is, what do you make of me? [HARTIGAN] Destroy him. [DOCTOR] You make me into this. [HARTIGAN] Then I have made you a failure. Your weapons are useless,sir. [DOCTOR] I wasn't trying to kill you. All I did was break theCyber-connection, leaving your mind open. Open, I think, for the firsttime in far too many years. So you can see. Just look at yourself. Lookat what you've done. [DOCTOR] I'm sorry, Miss Hartigan, but look at what you've become. [DOCTOR] I'm so sorry. --------------------------------------- (Street) [LAKE] He's killed it! Whatever he did, he's killedit. [ROSITA] But it's going to fall! --------------------------------------- (Balloon basket) [DOCTOR] Ooo, now you're ready. --------------------------------------- (Street) [LAKE] Well, I'd say he used that Dimension vault totransfer the wreckage of the CyberKing into the Time Vortex, there to be harmlessly disintegrated. Oh, I've picked up a lot. Ah, buthere. Ladies and gentlemen, I know that man, that Doctor on high. And Iknow that he has done this deed a thousand times. But not once. No,sir, not once, not ever, has he ever been thanked. But no more. For Isay to you, on this Christmas morn, bravo, sir! Bravo! Bravo! Bravo,sir! [LAKE] Bravo, Doctor. --------------------------------------- (Market place) [LAKE] The city will recover, as London always does.Though the events of today will be history, spoken of for centuries tocome. [DOCTOR] Yeah. Funny that. [LAKE] And a new history begins for me. I find myself a widower, butwith my son and with a good friend. [DOCTOR] Now, take care of that one. She's marvellous. [LAKE] Frederick will need a nursemaid and I can think of none better.But you're welcome to join us. We thought we might all dine together atthe Traveller's Halt. A Christmas feast in celebration, and in memoryof those we have lost. You won't stay? [DOCTOR] Like I said, you know me. [LAKE] No I don't think anyone does. [LAKE] Oh! And this is it. Oh! Oh, if I might, Doctor. One lastadventure? [DOCTOR] Oh, be my guest. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [LAKE] Oh. Oh my word. Oh. Oh, goodness me. Well.But this is, but this is nonsense. [DOCTOR] Well, that's one word for it. [LAKE] Complete and utter, wonderful nonsense. How very, very silly. Oh,no. I can't bear it. Oh, it's causing my head to ache. No. No, no, no,no, no, no --------------------------------------- (Market place) [LAKE] Oh! Oh, gracious. That's quite enough. I takeit this is goodbye. [DOCTOR] Onwards and upwards. [LAKE] Tell me one thing. All those facts and figures I saw of theDoctor's life, you were never alone. All those bright and shiningcompanions. But not any more? [DOCTOR] No. [LAKE] Might I ask why not? [DOCTOR] They leave. Because they should. Or they find someone else. Andsome of them, some of them forget me. I suppose in the end, they breakmy heart. [LAKE] That offer of Christmas dinner. It's no longer a request, it's ademand. In memory of those we've lost. [DOCTOR] Oh, go on then. [LAKE] Really? [DOCTOR] Just this once. You've actually gone and changed my mind. Notmany people can do that. Jackson, if anyone had to be the Doctor, I'mglad it was you. [LAKE] The feast awaits. Come with me. Walk this way. [DOCTOR] I certainly will. Merry Christmas to you, Jackson. [LAKE] Merry Christmas indeed, Doctor.

Doctor Who (11 Apr, 2009; Tenth Doctor) - Planet of the Dead [GUARD] Positions. [GUARD] Night, boys. --------------------------------------- (Outside the gallery) [CHRISTINA] Sorry, lover. [POLICEMAN] We've got the place surrounded, sir. --------------------------------------- (Bus) [CHRISTINA] Hello. I'm so terribly sorry. That cardpaying device thing. That's a Lobster card, am I right? [DRIVER] Oyster card. [CHRISTINA] Ah. Well, that's the problem, you see. I only use my Oysterwhen there's an R in the month. [DRIVER] It's April. [MACMILLAN] Go, go, go. [CHRISTINA] Diamonds. Genuine. Drive. [DRIVER] Works for me. [POLICEMAN] No sign of her. [DRIVER] You're just in time, mate. [DOCTOR] Hello, I'm the Doctor. Happy Easter. --------------------------------------- (Outside the gallery) [MACMILLAN] Right, close off the area. Get all thesepeople cleared. She has got to be here somewhere. [POLICEMAN] Robinson, clear the roads. Get the whole place sealed off. [MACMILLAN] She's on the bus! She's on the. Kevin, get the car. It'sdefinitely her. Come on. Move it. Jackson, follow that bus. --------------------------------------- (Bus) [DOCTOR] The funny thing is, I don't often doEaster. I can never find it. It's always at a different time. AlthoughI remember the original. Between you and me, what really happened was. [DOCTOR] Oh. Sorry, hold on to that for me. Actually, go on, have it.Finish it. It's full of sugar and I'm determined to keep these teeth. [DOCTOR] Ah. Oh, we've got excitation. I'm picking up something verystrange. [CHRISTINA] I know the feeling. --------------------------------------- (Police car) [MACMILLAN] All units in pursuit registration Whiskynine seven four Golf Hotel Mike. They're heading for the Gladwell RoadTunnel. Please stop all traffic. Seal off the north end. --------------------------------------- (CCTV centre) [OPERATOR] The bus has entered the south entrance ofthe tunnel. Officers in pursuit. Units now arriving at the northentrance. --------------------------------------- (Tunnel - north entrance) [DENNISON] Tango one eight three up at the far end,sir. I've sealed off the exit. There's no way out. Over. --------------------------------------- (Police car) [MACMILLAN] I'm right behind. We've got her. --------------------------------------- (Bus) [DOCTOR] Rhondium particles, that's what I'm lookingfor. This thing detects them. Look, this should to round, that littledish there. [CHRISTINA] Right now, a way out would come in pretty handy. Can youdetect me one of those? [CARMEN] Lou, can you hear them? [LOU] Hear what, sweetheart? [CARMEN] The voices. So many voices calling to us. Calling so far. [DOCTOR] Ah, the little dish is going round. [CHRISTINA] Fascinating. [DOCTOR] And round. Whoa. [ANGELA] Excuse me. Do you mind? [DOCTOR] Sorry. That was my little dish. [CHRISTINA] Can't you turn that thing off? [DOCTOR] What was your name? [CHRISTINA] Christina. [DOCTOR] Christina, hold on tight. Everyone, hold on! [CARMEN] Oh, the voices. The voices. They're screaming. [NATHAN] (young white man) What's going on? --------------------------------------- (Tunnel - north entrance) [DENNISON] Tango one eight three. Units in position,sir. Er, sorry to report, but, er, no sign of the bus. Over. --------------------------------------- (Tunnel) [MACMILLAN] It's gone. Right in front of me. The bushas just gone. --------------------------------------- (Tunnel- north entrance) (Desert) [DOCTOR] End of the line. Call it a hunch, but I think we've gone alittle bit further than Brixton. --------------------------------------- (Bus) [LOU] We should get out. Even if that's the Sahara,we can't stay on board this thing. [CARMEN] I'm not going out there. They're still calling. All around us.The voices are crying. [LOU] What voices, sweetheart? [CARMEN] The dead. We're surrounded by the dead. --------------------------------------- (Desert) [ANGELA] It's impossible. There are three suns.Three of them. [BARCLAY] (a young black man) Like when all those planets were up in thesky. [NATHAN] But it was Earth that moved back then, wasn't it? [BARCLAY] Oh, man, we're on another world. [DRIVER] It's still intact, though. Not as bad as it looks, and thechassis's still holding together. My boss isgoing to murder me. [ANGELA] Can you still drive it? [DRIVER] Oh no, no, no. The wheels are stuck. Look at them, they'renever going tobudge. --------------------------------------- (Tunnel - north entrance) [MACMILLAN] Dennison, listen. We've sealed off thefar end. Nothing is to come through. [DENNISON] But I don't understand, sir. How can a bus just disappear? --------------------------------------- (Desert) [CHRISTINA] Ready for every emergency. [DOCTOR] Me too. [CHRISTINA] And what's your name? [DOCTOR] I'm the Doctor. [CHRISTINA] Name, not rank. [DOCTOR] The Doctor. [CHRISTINA] Surname? [DOCTOR] The Doctor. [CHRISTINA] You're called the Doctor? [DOCTOR] Yes, I am. [CHRISTINA] That's not a name. That's a psychological condition. [DOCTOR] Funny sort of sand, this. There's a trace of something else.(he tastes it) Glah. Not good. [CHRISTINA] Well, it wouldn't be. It's sand. [DOCTOR] No, it tastes like. Never mind. [CHRISTINA] What is it? What's wrong? [BARCLAY] Hold on a minute. I saw you, mate. You had that thing, thatmachine. Did you make this happen? [DOCTOR] Oh, humans on buses, always blaming me. Look, look, if you mustknow, I was tracking a hole in the fabric of reality. Call it a hobby.But it was a tiny little hole. No danger to anyone. Suddenly it getsbig, and we drive right through it. [DRIVER] But then where is it? There's nothing. There's just sand. [DOCTOR] All right. You want proof? We drove through this. --------------------------------------- (Tunnel - north entrance) [MACMILLAN] What the hell was that? --------------------------------------- (Desert) [CHRISTINA] And that's? [DOCTOR] A door. A door in space. [DRIVER] So what you're saying is, on the other side of that is home? Wecan get to London through there? [DOCTOR] The bus came through, but we can't. [DRIVER] Well then, what are we waiting for? [DOCTOR] No, no, don't. [DRIVER] I'm going home, mate! [DOCTOR] I said don't. [BARCLAY] He was a skeleton, man. He was bones. Just bones. --------------------------------------- (Tunnel - north entrance) [MACMILLAN] Dennison, er, I think we're out of ourdepth here. We need experts. Get me UNIT. Emergencycode one. --------------------------------------- (Desert) [DOCTOR] It was the bus. Look at the damage. Thatwas the bus protecting us. Great big box of metal. [CHRISTINA] Rather like a Faraday cage? [NATHAN] Like in a thunderstorm, yeah? Safest place is inside a car,because the metal conducts the lightning right through. We did it inschool. [CHRISTINA] But if we can only travel back inside the bus? A Faradaycage needs to be closed. That thing's been ripped wide open. [DOCTOR] Well, slightly different dynamics with a wormhole. There'senough metal to make it work, I think. I hope. [CHRISTINA] Then we have to drive five tons of bus, which is currentlyburied in the sand, and we've got nothing but our bare hands. Correct? [DOCTOR] I'd say nine and a half tons, but the point still stands, yes. [CHRISTINA] Then we need to apply ourselves to the problem withdiscipline. Which starts with appointing a leader. [DOCTOR] Yes. At last. Thank you. So. [CHRISTINA] Well, thank goodness you've got me. Everyone do exactly as Isay. Inside the bus immediately. [NATHAN] Is it safe in there? [CHRISTINA] I don't think anything's safe any more, but if it's a choicebetween baking in there or roasting out here, I'd say baking is slower.Come on. All of you. Right now. And you. The Doctor. [DOCTOR] Yes, ma'am. [CHRISTINA] (to Barclay) Up. Come on. --------------------------------------- (Bus) [CHRISTINA] Point five. The crucial thing is, do notpanic. Quite apart from anything else, the smell of sweat inside thisthing is reaching atrocious levels. We don't need to add any more.Point six. Team identification. Names. I'm Christina. This man isapparently the Doctor. [DOCTOR] Hello. [CHRISTINA] And you? [NATHAN] Nathan. [BARCLAY] I'm Barclay. [ANGELA] Angela. Angela Whittaker. [LOU] My name's Louis. Everyone calls me Lou. And this is Carmen. [CHRISTINA] Excellent. Memorise those names. There might be a test.Point seven. Assessment and application of knowledge. Over to you, theDoctor. [DOCTOR] I thought you were in charge. [CHRISTINA] I am. And a good leader utilises her strength. You seem tobe the brainbox. So, start boxing. [DOCTOR] Right. So, the wormhole. We were in the wrong place at thewrong time. It was just an accident. [CARMEN] No, it wasn't. That thing, the doorway? Someone made it for areason. [DOCTOR] How do you know? [LOU] She's got a gift. Ever since she was a little girl, she can justtell things. We do the lottery twice a week. [CHRISTINA] You don't look like millionaires. [LOU] No, but we win ten pounds. Every week, twice a week, ten pounds.Don't tell me that's not a gift. [DOCTOR] Tell me, Carmen. How many fingers am I holding up? [CARMEN] Three. [CARMEN] Four. [DOCTOR] Very good. Low level psychic ability, exacerbated by an aliensun. What can you see, Carmen? Tell me, what's out there? [CARMEN] Something, something is coming. Riding on the wind, andshining. [DOCTOR] What is it? [CARMEN] Death. Death is coming. [ANGELA] We're going to die. [BARCLAY] I knew it, man. I said so. [NATHAN] We can't die out here. No one's going to find us. [CHRISTINA] This isn't exactly helping. [BARCLAY] You can shut up too. We're not your soldiers. [CHRISTINA] That's not doing any good. [LOU] Quiet. [NATHAN] Will we be bones, like the bus driver? [CHRISTINA] Stop whimpering, all of you. [DOCTOR] All right now, stop it. Everyone, stop it! Angela, look at me.Angela? Angela? Answer me one question, Angela. That's it. At me, atme. There we go. Angela, just answer me one thing. When you got on thisbus, where were you going? [ANGELA] Doesn't matter now, does it? [DOCTOR] Answer the question. [ANGELA] Just home. [DOCTOR] And what's home? [ANGELA] Me and Mike. And Suzanne. That's my daughter. She's eighteen. [DOCTOR] Suzanne. Good. What about you? [BARCLAY] Don't know. Going round Tina's. [DOCTOR] Who's Tina? Your girlfriend? [BARCLAY] Not yet. [DOCTOR] Good boy. What about you, Nathan? [NATHAN] Bit strapped for cash. I lost my job last week. I was going tostay in and watch TV. [DOCTOR] Brilliant. And you two? [LOU] I was going to cook. [CARMEN] It's his turn tonight. Then I clear up. [DOCTOR] What's for tea? [LOU] Chops. Nice couple of chops and gravy. Nothing special. [DOCTOR] Oh, that's special, Lou. That is so special. Chops and gravy,mmm. What about you, Christina? [CHRISTINA] I was going so far away. [DOCTOR] Far away. Chops and gravy. Watching TV. Mike and Suzanne andpoor old Tina. [BARCLAY] Hey. [DOCTOR] Just think of them. Because that planet out there, all threesuns, wormholes and alien sand, that planet is nothing. You hear me?Nothing, compared to all those things waiting for you. Food and homeand people. Hold on to that, because we'regoing to get there. I promise. I'm going to get you home. --------------------------------------- (Tunnel - north entrance) [SERGEANT] Section one, assume positions. Section two, assume positions. [CORPORAL] Section three, assume positions. [SOLDIER] Section four, spread out. [SERGEANT] Take places, intervention mode. [MAGAMBO] Isolate the area. [SOLDIER] Yes, ma'am. [MAGAMBO] Establish an exclusion zone. Any media, move them back. Anytrouble, arrest them, [SOLDIER 2] Yes, ma'am. [MAGAMBO] I want the vehicles in the standard Procedure Five layout. Alloutreach officers will report to me via Sergeant Calhoon, is thatunderstood? [SOLDIER 3] Yes, ma'am. [MACMILLAN] Captain, I'm Detective Inspector McMillan. [MAGAMBO] Clear the area, thank you. [MACMILLAN] Yes, but I was here when the thing, the bus with the [MAGAMBO] I've read the report. Now clear the area. Pandovski, get thesemen out of the zone. [MACMILLAN] Yes, but there's somebody on board that bus. She's mine. [PANDOVSKI] Just move back, sir. [MACMILLAN] All right. [MAGAMBO] Perimeter guard, stand ready. Stay alert. Any hostileactivity, shoot to kill. --------------------------------------- (Desert) [BARCLAY] Here we go. [DOCTOR] That's my boys. See, we lay a flat surface between the bus andthe wormhole, like duckboards, and we reverse into it. [CHRISTINA] Let some air out of the tyres. Just a little bit. It spreadsthe weight of the bus, gives you more grip against the sand. [DOCTOR] Oh, that's good. [CHRISTINA] Holidays in the Kalahari. [BARCLAY] Yeah, but those wheels go deep. [CHRISTINA] Then start digging. [BARCLAY] With what? [CHRISTINA] With this. [DOCTOR] Got anything else in there? [CHRISTINA] Try that. It might help with the seats. [NATHAN] Thanks. [ANGELA] I can't find the keys. [DOCTOR] Oh no, buses don't have keys. There's a master switch, thenit's one button to start, the other one to stop, yeah? [ANGELA] Right. Hold on. Oh, I've got it. Here we go. Hold tight. Ding,ding. [DOCTOR] Ooo, that doesn't sound too good. [DOCTOR] Oh, never mind losing half the top deck. You know what's worse?Sand. Tiny little grains of sand. The engine's clogged up. [CHRISTINA] Anyone know mechanics? [BARCLAY] Me. I did a two week NVQ at the garage. Never finished it, but [DOCTOR] Off you go, then. Try stripping the air filter. Fast as youcan. Back in two ticks. [CHRISTINA] Wait a minute. You're the man with all the answers. I'm notletting you out of my sight. [DOCTOR] Easier if you left that backpack behind. [CHRISTINA] Where I go, it goes. [DOCTOR] A backpack with a spade and an axe. Christina, who's going sofar away, and yet scared by the sound of a siren. Who are you? [CHRISTINA] You can talk. Let's just say we're two equal mysteries. [DOCTOR] We make quite a couple. [CHRISTINA] We don't make any sort of couple, thank you very much. Comeon then. Tell me. If Carmen's right, if that wormhole's not anaccident, then what is it? Has someone done this on purpose? [DOCTOR] I don't know, but every single instinct of mine is telling meto get off this planet right now. [CHRISTINA] And do you think we can? [DOCTOR] I live in hope. [CHRISTINA] That must be nice. It's Christina de Souza. To be precise,Lady Christina de Souza. [DOCTOR] Ooo, that's handy, because I'm a Lord. [DOCTOR] It's quite a big estate. [CHRISTINA] No, but there's something more about you. That device youwere carrying, and the wormhole. Like you knew. And the way you stridearound this place, like. [DOCTOR] Like? [CHRISTINA] Like you're not quite [DOCTOR] Anyway, come on. Allons-y. [CHRISTINA] Oui, mais pas si nous allons vers un cauchemar. [DOCTOR] Oh, we were made for each other. [DOCTOR] Ah, don't like the look of that. [CHRISTINA] Storm clouds. Must be hundreds of miles away. [DOCTOR] But getting closer. [CHRISTINA] If that's a sand storm, we'll get ripped to shreds. [DOCTOR] It's a storm. Who says it's sand? --------------------------------------- (Bus) [CARMEN] Closer, and closer, and closer. [DOCTOR] Where is it? [BARCLAY] There. There on the seat. [CHRISTINA] You're hardly going to get a signal. We're on anotherplanet. [DOCTOR] Oh, just watch me. Right. Now, bit of hush, thank you. Got toremember the number, very important number. [VOICE [OC]] Hello, Pizza Geronimo? [DOCTOR] And again. Ah. seven six, not six seven. [COMPUTER] This is the Unified Intelligence Taskforce. Please select oneof the following four options. If you want to [DOCTOR] Oh, I hate these things. [ANGELA] If you keep your finger pressed on zero, you get through to areal person. I saw it on Watchdog. [DOCTOR] Thank you, Angela. [WOMAN [OC]] UNIT helpline. Which department would you like? [DOCTOR] Listen, it's the Doctor. It's me. --------------------------------------- (Tunnel - north entrance) [CALHOON] Captain. Urgent call, ma'am, relayeddirect from HQ. [MAGAMBO] Who is it? [CALHOON] It's him, ma'am. It's the Doctor. --------------------------------------- (Bus) [MAGAMBO [OC]] Doctor? --------------------------------------- (Tunnel - north entrance) [MAGAMBO] This is Captain Erisa Magambo. Might Isay, sir --------------------------------------- (Bus) [MAGAMBO [OC]] It's an honour. [DOCTOR] Did you just salute? --------------------------------------- (Tunnel - north entrance) [MAGAMBO] No. --------------------------------------- (Bus) [DOCTOR] Erisa, it's about the bus. HQ said you'reat the tunnel, yeah? --------------------------------------- (Tunnel - north entrance) [MAGAMBO] And where are you? [DOCTOR [OC]] I'm on the bus. --------------------------------------- (Bus) [DOCTOR] But apart from that, not a clue, exceptit's very pretty and pretty dangerous. [MAGAMBO [OC]] A body came through --------------------------------------- (Tunnel - north entrance) [MAGAMBO] Here. Have you sustained any morefatalities? --------------------------------------- (Bus) [DOCTOR] No, and we're not going to, but I'm stuck.I haven't got the Tardis, and I need to analyse that wormhole. --------------------------------------- (Tunnel - north entrance) [MAGAMBO] We have a scientific advisor on site.Doctor Malcolm Taylor. --------------------------------------- (Mobile HQ) [MAGAMBO [OC]] Just the man you need. He's a genius. [DOCTOR [OC]] Oh, is he? We'll see about that. [MAGAMBO] It's the Doctor. [TAYLOR] No, I'm all right now, thanks. It was just a bit of a sorethroat. Although I've got to be honest, a cup of tea might be nice. [MAGAMBO] It's the Doctor. [TAYLOR] Do you mean the Doctor Doctor? --------------------------------------- (Bus) [MAGAMBO [OC]] I know. We all want to meet him oneday, but --------------------------------------- (Mobile HQ) [MAGAMBO] We all know what that day will bring. [DOCTOR [OC]] I can hear everything you're saying. [TAYLOR] Hello, Doctor? --------------------------------------- (Bus) [TAYLOR [OC]] Oh, my goodness! [DOCTOR] Yes, I am. Hello, Malcolm. --------------------------------------- (Mobile HQ) [TAYLOR] The Doctor. Cor blimey. I can't believe I'mactually speaking to you. I mean, I've read all the files. --------------------------------------- (Bus) [DOCTOR] Really? What was your favourite, the giantrobot? No, no, hold on. Let's sort out that wormhole. Excuse me. --------------------------------------- (Mobile HQ) [MAGAMBO] On speakerphone, please. I don't wantanyone keeping secrets. --------------------------------------- (Bus) [DOCTOR] Malcolm, something's not making sense here.I've got a storm and a wormhole, and I can't help thinking there's aconnection. I need a complete full range analysis --------------------------------------- (Mobile HQ) [DOCTOR [OC]] Of that wormhole. The whole thing. [TAYLOR] Well, I've probably got the wrong idea, but I've wired up anintegrator. I thought it could measure --------------------------------------- (Bus) [TAYLOR [OC]] The energy signature. [DOCTOR] No. No, no, no, no, no. That'll never work. Listen. [TAYLOR [OC]] It's quite extraordinary, though. --------------------------------------- (Mobile HQ) [TAYLOR] I'm measuring an oscillation of fifteenMalcolms per second. --------------------------------------- (Bus) [DOCTOR] Fifteen what? --------------------------------------- (Mobile HQ) [TAYLOR] Fifteen Malcolms. It's my own little term.A wavelength parcel of ten kilohertz operating in four dimensionsequals one Malcolm. --------------------------------------- (Bus) [DOCTOR] You named a unit of measurement afteryourself? --------------------------------------- (Mobile HQ) [TAYLOR] Well, it didn't do Mister Watt any harm.Furthermore, one hundred Malcolms equals a Bernard. [DOCTOR [OC]] And who's that --------------------------------------- (Bus) [DOCTOR] Your dad? --------------------------------------- (Mobile HQ) [TAYLOR] Don't be ridiculous. That's Quatermass. --------------------------------------- (Bus) [DOCTOR] Right. Fine. But before I die of old age,which in my case would be quite an achievement, so congratulations onthat --------------------------------------- (Mobile HQ) [DOCTOR [OC]] Is there anyone else I can talk to? [TAYLOR] No, no, no, no, but listen. I set the scanner to register whatit can't detect and inverted the image. --------------------------------------- (Bus) [DOCTOR] You did what? --------------------------------------- (Mobile HQ) [TAYLOR] Is that wrong? --------------------------------------- (Bus) [DOCTOR] No. Malcolm, that's brilliant. So you canactually measure the wormhole. Okay. --------------------------------------- (Mobile HQ) [DOCTOR [OC]] I admit that is genius. [TAYLOR] The Doctor called me a genius. --------------------------------------- (Bus) [DOCTOR] Now, run a capacity scan. --------------------------------------- (Mobile HQ) [DOCTOR [OC]] I need a full report. Call me backwhen you've done it. And Malcolm? --------------------------------------- (Bus) [DOCTOR] You're my new best friend. --------------------------------------- (Mobile HQ) [TAYLOR] And you're mine too, sir. --------------------------------------- (Bus) [DOCTOR] Barclay, I'm holding on to this. [BARCLAY] Hey, you'd better bring it back. --------------------------------------- (Mobile HQ) [TAYLOR] You're, you're mine. He's gone. He's gone. --------------------------------------- (Desert) [DOCTOR] Send this back to Earth. See if Malcolm can analyse the storm. [CHRISTINA] There's something in those clouds. Something shining. Look. [DOCTOR] Like metal. Why would there be metal in a storm? --------------------------------------- (Bus) [CARMEN] So fast and strong. They ride the storm.They are the storm. [LOU] But what are they? [CARMEN] They devour. --------------------------------------- (Desert) [CHRISTINA] Did you hear something? [DOCTOR] Hold on. Busy. [CHRISTINA] There was a noise, like a sort of. [CHRISTINA] Doctor. --------------------------------------- (Bus) [CARMEN] There's something new. --------------------------------------- (Desert) [DOCTOR] That's wait. I shout wait, people usually wait. [CHRISTINA] You speak the language? [DOCTOR] Every language. (chitters) That's begging for mercy. [CHRISTINA] That means move. [DOCTOR] Ooo, you're learning. [CHRISTINA] These fly things, they must be responsible. They brought ushere. [DOCTOR] No, no, no, no, no. Look at the ship. It's a wreck. Theycrashed, just like us. --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [CHRISTINA] Oh, but this place is freezing. [DOCTOR] Mmm. The hull's made of photafine steel. Turns cold when it'shot. Boiling desert outside, freezing ship inside. Since I met you,Christina, we've been through all the extremes. [CHRISTINA] That's how I like things, extreme. [DOCTOR] Oh, this is beautiful. Intact, it must have been magnificent. Aproper streamlined deep spacer. [CHRISTINA] I'll remember that as I'm being slowly tortured. At leastI'm bleeding on the floor of a really well designed spaceship. [DOCTOR] Oh, right, good. Yes. Hello. That's a telepathic translator. Hecan understand us. [CHRISTINA] Still sounds like gibberish to me. [DOCTOR] That's what I said. He can understand us. It doesn't work theother way round. (translates) You will suffer for your crimes,etcetera. You have committed an act of violence against the Tritovorerace. Tritovores. They're called Tritovores. You came here in the twohundred to destroy us. Sorry, what's the two hundred? [CHRISTINA] It's the bus. Number two hundred. They mean the bus. [DOCTOR] Oh. No, look, I think you're making the same mistake Christinadid. I'm the Doctor, by the way, and this is Christina. The HonourableLady Christina. At least I hope she's honourable. We got pulled throughthat wormhole. The two hundred doesn't look like that normally. It'sbroken, just the same as you. [CHRISTINA] What are they doing? [DOCTOR] They believe me. [CHRISTINA] What, as simple as that? [DOCTOR] I've got a very honest face. And the translator says I'mtelling the truth. Plus the face. Right. So, first things first.There's a very strange storm heading our way. Can you send out a probe?Oh, they've lost power. Hmm, the crash knocked the mainlinecrystallography out of synch. But if I can jiggle it back. [DOCTOR] I thank you. Yes, I am. Frequently. Okey doke, let's launchthat probe. [DOCTOR] The Scorpion Nebula. We're on the other side of the universe.Just what you wanted. So far away. The planet of San Helios. [CHRISTINA] And that's us? We're on another world. [DOCTOR] We have been for quite a while. [CHRISTINA] I know, but seeing it like that. [DOCTOR] It's good, isn't it? [DOCTOR] The Tritovores were going to trade with San Helios. Populationof one hundred billion. Plenty of waste matter for them to absorb. [CHRISTINA] By waste matter, you mean [DOCTOR] They feed off what others leave behind from their behind, ifyou see what I mean. It's perfectly natural. They are flies. [CHRISTINA] Charming. Just remind me never to kiss them. [DOCTOR] San Helios City. [CHRISTINA] That's amazing. But you've seen this sort of thing before,haven't you? [DOCTOR] Thousands of times. [CHRISTINA] You're an alien? [DOCTOR] Yeah. But you don't have to kiss me either. [CHRISTINA] You look human. [DOCTOR] You look Time Lord. Anyway. [CHRISTINA] So if that's San Helios, all we need to do is find thatcity. They can help us. [DOCTOR] I don't think it's that simple. We're in the city right now. [CHRISTINA] But it's sand. That first image, the temples and things,what's that then, ancient history? [DOCTOR] The image was taken last year. [CHRISTINA] It became a desert in one year? [DOCTOR] I said there was something in the sand. The city, the oceans,the mountains, the wildlife, and a hundred billion people turned tosand. All those voices in Carmen's head. She's hearing them die. [CHRISTINA] But I've got sand in my hair. That's dead people. Oh, that'sdisgusting. Oh. [DOCTOR] Something destroyed the whole of San Helois. [CHRISTINA] Yes, but in my hair. --------------------------------------- (Mobile HQ) [DOCTOR [OC]] Malcolm, tell me the bad news. [TAYLOR] Oh, you are clever. It is bad news. It's the wormhole, Doctor.It's getting bigger. --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [TAYLOR [OC]] We've gone way past --------------------------------------- (Mobile HQ) [TAYLOR] One hundred Bernards. I haven't invented aname for that. [DOCTOR [OC]] How can it get bigger by itself? [TAYLOR] Well, that's why I'm phoning. You'll work it out, if I knowyou, sir. [MAGAMBO] Doctor, we estimate the circumference of your invisiblewormhole is now four miles --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [MAGAMBO [OC]] Heading upwards. I've grounded allflights above London. --------------------------------------- (Mobile HQ) [MAGAMBO] We can't risk anyone else falling through. --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [DOCTOR] Good work, both of you. --------------------------------------- (Mobile HQ) [MAGAMBO] But I have to know. Does that wormhole --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [MAGAMBO [OC]] Constitute a danger to this planet? [DOCTOR] Oh, sorry. Call waiting. Got to go. --------------------------------------- (Mobile HQ) [MAGAMBO] Call waiting? [TAYLOR] He's a devil, that one. --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [DOCTOR] Yeah? --------------------------------------- (Bus) [NATHAN] Doctor, it's Nathan. --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [NATHAN [OC]] We got those duckboard things down,but --------------------------------------- (Bus) [ANGELA] It's my fault. [NATHAN] No, it's not. Don't say that. --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [DOCTOR] Why, what's happened? --------------------------------------- (Bus) [NATHAN] We kept on turning the engine, but, we'reout of petrol. Used it all up. Even if we can get those wheels out --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [NATHAN [OC]] This bus is never going to move. [CHRISTINA] What is it, what's wrong? Doctor, tell me. [NATHAN [OC]] You promised you'd get us home. Doctor? --------------------------------------- (Bus) [NATHAN] Are you still there? --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [CHRISTINA] Doctor, tell me. What did he say? [DOCTOR] It's the probe. It's reached the storm. [CHRISTINA] And what's he saying? [DOCTOR] It's not a storm. [CHRISTINA] It's a swarm. Millions of them. [DOCTOR] Billions. Oh, we've lost the probe. I think it got eaten.Everything on this planet gets eaten. [CHRISTINA] How far away is that swarm? [DOCTOR] A hundred miles. But at that speed, it'll be here in twentyminutes. No, no, no, they're not just coming for us. They want thewormhole. [CHRISTINA] They're heading for Earth? [DOCTOR] Show the analysis. Incredible. They swarm out of a wormhole,strip the planet bare, then move on to the next world. Start the lifecycle all over again. [CHRISTINA] So, they make the wormholes? [DOCTOR] They must do. [CHRISTINA] But how? They don't exactly look like technicians. And ifthe wormhole belongs to them, why are they a hundred miles away? [DOCTOR] Because they need to be? No, that's bonkers. Hang on. Yes. Oh,do you see? Billions of them, flying in formation, all around theplanet. Round and round and round, faster and faster and faster, tillthey generate a rupture in space. The speed of them, and the numbers,and the size, all of that rips the wormhole into existence. [CHRISTINA] And the wormhole's getting bigger? [DOCTOR] Because they're getting closer. [CHRISTINA] But how do they get through? Because that wormhole's akiller. We've seen it. [CHRISTINA] Metal? [DOCTOR] They've got bones of metal. They eat metal and extrude it intothe exoskeleton. So their velocity makes the wormhole, then their bodymakes it safe. Perfect design. [CHRISTINA] Those things are going to turn the entire Earth into adesert. So why exactly are you smiling? [DOCTOR] Worse it gets, the more I love it. [CHRISTINA] Me too. --------------------------------------- (Bus) [NATHAN] It sounds like a storm. [ANGELA] If it rains, we've got water. [CARMEN] No water. All of it dust. But the girl. [LOU] Don't now, sweetheart. What girl? [CARMEN] The girl. She will fly. --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [CHRISTINA] The thing is, Doctor, you're missing theobvious. We came here through the wormhole, yes? But our Tritovorefriends didn't. They came here to trade with San Helios. Therefore, thequestion is, why did they crash? [DOCTOR] Ah, good question. What a team. Like she said, why did youcrash? --------------------------------------- (Engine room) [DOCTOR] Oh, yes. Gravity well. Look, goes all theway down to the engine. So what happened? He says the drive systemstalled. Ten miles up, they fell out of the sky. But what caused that? [CHRISTINA] Which means no idea. [DOCTOR] Yeah. But wait a minute. That's a crystal nucleus down there,yes? And it looks like it survived the crash. If the crystal's intact?Oh, yes. That's better than diesel. [CHRISTINA] What, you can use the crystal to move the bus? [DOCTOR] I think so. The spaceship's a write-off, but the two hundred'ssmall enough. [CHRISTINA] How does a crystal drive a bus? [DOCTOR] In a super clever outer-spacey way. Just trust me. There's thecrystal! It's fallen to the bottom of the well. Have you got accessshafts? All frozen? Well, maybe I can open them. Ah! Internal comms.Put that on. [DOCTOR] You stay here. Keep an eye on the shaft. Tell me if anythinghappens. --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [DOCTOR] If I can use that sunlight to start theautomatic maintenance. Christina? If you see a panel opening in thatshaft, let me know. --------------------------------------- (Engine room) [CHRISTINA] Nothing yet. --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [DOCTOR] Anything now? --------------------------------------- (Engine room) [CHRISTINA] Afraid not. --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [DOCTOR] Any sign of movement? --------------------------------------- (Engine room) [CHRISTINA] Nope. --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [DOCTOR] How's that? --------------------------------------- (Engine room) [CHRISTINA] Nothing. --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [DOCTOR] Any result? --------------------------------------- (Engine room) [CHRISTINA] Not a dickie bird. So let me get this right. You need thatcrystal? Then consider it done. --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [DOCTOR] Why, what do you mean? Christina?Christina! --------------------------------------- (Engine room) [CHRISTINA] The aristocracy survives for a reason.We're ready for anything. [DOCTOR] No! [DOCTOR] Come on. Come on, come on, come on. That's better. [CHRISTINA] I decide when I stop, thank you. [DOCTOR] You're about to hit the security grid. Look. [DOCTOR] Try the big red button. [CHRISTINA] Well done. [DOCTOR] Now come back up. I can do that. [CHRISTINA] Oh, don't you wish. [DOCTOR] Slowly. [CHRISTINA] Yes, sir. [DOCTOR] Quite the mystery, aren't you? Lady Christina de Souza,carrying a winch in her bag. [CHRISTINA] No stranger than you, spaceman. [DOCTOR] I had this friend, once. She called me spaceman. [CHRISTINA] And was she right? Do you zoom about the place in a rocket? [DOCTOR] Well, a little blue box. Travels in more than space. It canjourney through time, Christina. Oh, the places I've been. World WarOne. Creation of the universe. End of the universe. The war betweenChina and Japan. And the Court of King Athelstan in 924 AD. [DOCTOR] But I don't remember you being there. So what are you doingwith this? [CHRISTINA] Excuse me. A gentleman never goes through a lady'spossessions. [DOCTOR] It's the Cup of Athelstan, given to the first King of Britainas a coronation gift from Hywel, King of the Welsh. But it's been heldin the International Gallery for two hundred years, which makes you,Lady Christina, a thief. [CHRISTINA] I like to think I liberated it. [DOCTOR] Don't tell me you need the money. [CHRISTINA] Daddy lost everything. Invested his fortune in the Icelandicbanks. [DOCTOR] No, no, no, no, no. If you're short of cash, you rob a bank.Stealing this? That's a lifestyle. [CHRISTINA] I take it you disapprove? [DOCTOR] Absolutely. Except. That little blue box, I stole it from myown people. [CHRISTINA] Good boy. You were right. We're quite a team. [CHRISTINA] What the blazes was that? [DOCTOR] We never did find out why the ship crashed. Christina, I thinkyou should come back up. [CHRISTINA] Too late. I can see it. [DOCTOR] Careful. Slowly. Have you got an open-vent system? [DOCTOR] I thought so. [CHRISTINA] What does that mean? [DOCTOR] It's like when birds fly into the engines of an aircraft. [CHRISTINA] One of the creatures. [DOCTOR] It got trapped in the vents, caused the crash. Christina, getout. [CHRISTINA] It's not moving. I think it's injured. [DOCTOR] No, it's dormant because it's so cold down there, but your bodyheat is raising the temperature. [CHRISTINA] I tend to have that effect. Almost there. [DOCTOR] Not just the crystal. I need the whole bed, the plate thing. [CHRISTINA] I've got it! [DOCTOR] Come on, come on. Come on, come on, come on, come on. It'sgoing to eat its way up. [DOCTOR] Ooo, she's good. [DOCTOR] That's it, that's it, that's it. I've got you. I've got you.Isn't she just. --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [DOCTOR] Commander? Mission complete. Now, we've gotto get back to the two hundred, all of us. Oh, don't be so daft. Acaptain can leave his ship, if there's a bus standing by. [CHRISTINA] What the hell was that? Is this place safe? It's thecreature. It's not dead. [DOCTOR] Maybe you didn't hit just one of them. If you hit a swarm? [CHRISTINA] Do you mean if there's more on board? [DOCTOR] This ship's built inside a metal sleeve. They can move throughthe infrastructure, all around us. And those things wake up hungry.Commander, you've got to come with us right now. [CHRISTINA] Come back to Earth. We'll find you a home. [DOCTOR] And that's the word of a lady. Come on. [DOCTOR] No, don't. [DOCTOR] There's nothing we can do. Run! --------------------------------------- (Bus) [ANGELA] What sort of storm is that? [CARMEN] Run. Run. Run. Run. Run. Run. --------------------------------------- (Mobile HQ) [TAYLOR] Doctor? --------------------------------------- (Desert) [DOCTOR] Not now, Malcolm! --------------------------------------- (Mobile HQ) [TAYLOR] Fair do's. He's a busy man. --------------------------------------- (By the bus) [NATHAN] At last. Where've you been? [DOCTOR] Get inside. Get them sitting down. Now then, let's have a look. [CHRISTINA] So what does that crystal do? [DOCTOR] Oh, nothing. Don't need the crystal. [CHRISTINA] Oh, I risked my life for that. [DOCTOR] No, no. You risked your life for these. The clamps. [DOCTOR] One there. One there. One there. And one there. --------------------------------------- (Bus) [CHRISTINA] But what are the clamps for? Do theyturn the wheels? [DOCTOR] Yeah, something like that. I just need to fix this. Have yougot a hammer in that bag? [CHRISTINA] Funnily enough. [DOCTOR] Phone, phone. Press redial. [DOCTOR] Malcolm, it's me. --------------------------------------- (Mobile HQ) [TAYLOR] I'm ready. --------------------------------------- (Bus) [DOCTOR] Ready for what? --------------------------------------- (Mobile HQ) [TAYLOR] I don't know. You tell me. --------------------------------------- (Bus) (Mobile HQ) [DOCTOR [OC]] But listen, there might be somethingfollowing us. You need to close the wormhole. [TAYLOR] Would that be a compressed burst of feedback on a --------------------------------------- (Bus) [TAYLOR [OC]] Counter-oscillation, perchance? [DOCTOR] Oh, Malcolm, you're --------------------------------------- (Mobile HQ) [DOCTOR [OC]] Brilliant. [TAYLOR] Coming from you, sir, that means the world. [MAGAMBO] Doctor --------------------------------------- (Bus) [MAGAMBO [OC]] What sort of something? --------------------------------------- (Mobile HQ) [MAGAMBO] That wormhole is now measuring ten milesand growing. I need to know the exact nature --------------------------------------- (Bus) [MAGAMBO [OC]] Of the threat. [DOCTOR] Sorry, got to go. --------------------------------------- (Mobile HQ) [MAGAMBO] All troops, mobilise and stand ready.Possible Code Red. Unknown. --------------------------------------- (Tunnel - north entrance) [CALHOON] Understood. Code Red. Repeat, Code Redunknown. [SERGEANT] Section two, armed. [CORPORAL] Section three, armed. --------------------------------------- (Bus) [DOCTOR] Oh, it's not compatible. Bus, spaceship,spaceship, bus. I need to weld the two systems together. [CHRISTINA] And how do you do that? [DOCTOR] I need something non-corrosive. Something malleable. Somethingductile. Something gold. [CHRISTINA] Oh no you don't. [DOCTOR] Christina, what is it worth now? [BARCLAY] Hey, hey, use this. [DOCTOR] I said gold. [BARCLAY] It is gold. [DOCTOR] Oh, they saw you coming. Christina. [CHRISTINA] It's over a thousand years old, worth eighteen millionpounds. Promise me you'll be careful. [DOCTOR] I promise. [CHRISTINA] I hate you. --------------------------------------- (Mobile HQ) [TAYLOR] Done it. Transmit that, and the wormholeshould close. [MAGAMBO] Then do it. [TAYLOR] Well, after the Doctor's come through, obviously. [MAGAMBO] I'm sorry. Believe me. That wormhole constitutes a majorthreat, and I have a duty to every man, woman and child on this planet.It's got to be closed immediately. That's an order. [TAYLOR] No, no, no, no. No, we can't just abandon him. He's the Doctor.How many times has he saved our lives? I won't let you, ma'am. I simplywon't. [MAGAMBO] Right now, soldier. --------------------------------------- (Bus) [DOCTOR] This is your driver speaking. Hold ontight. [BARCLAY] But what for? What's he doing? [CHRISTINA] Do as he says. What are you doing? [DOCTOR] Come on. That's it. You can do it, you beauty. One last trip. [BARCLAY] Ah, you are so kidding me. [NATHAN] We're flying. It's flying. [LOU] He's flying the bus. [ANGELA] It's a miracle. [DOCTOR] Anti-gravity clamps. Didn't I say? Round we go. [CARMEN] Doctor, they're coming. --------------------------------------- (Mobile HQ) [TAYLOR] I will never surrender. Never. --------------------------------------- (Bus) [CHRISTINA] Do you think this thing will survive thejourney back? [DOCTOR] Only one way to find out. Next stop. [CHRISTINA] Planet Earth! [BARCLAY] It's London! [ANGELA] We're back home. [NATHAN] He did it. He did it! --------------------------------------- (Tunnel - north entrance) [CALHOON] Captain! --------------------------------------- (Mobile HQ) [CALHOON [OC]] Captain, they're back. It's the bus,ma'am, it's come back and it's flying. --------------------------------------- (Tunnel - north entrance) [MAGAMBO] Code Red. Fire at will. [SERGEANT] Concentrate your fire! --------------------------------------- (Mobile HQ) [DOCTOR [OC]] Malcolm, close that wormhole. [TAYLOR] Yes, sir. My pleasure, sir. --------------------------------------- (Bus) [DOCTOR] He's hung up on me. --------------------------------------- (Mobile HQ) [TAYLOR] Oh, no, no. No. --------------------------------------- (Bus) [DOCTOR] Malcolm! --------------------------------------- (Mobile HQ) [TAYLOR] Not now, I'm busy. --------------------------------------- (Bus) [DOCTOR] He's hung up again. [DOCTOR] Malcolm, listen to me. --------------------------------------- (Mobile HQ) [TAYLOR] It's not working. --------------------------------------- (Bus) [DOCTOR] I need that signal. We've got billions ofthose things --------------------------------------- (Mobile HQ) [DOCTOR [OC]] About to fly through. [TAYLOR] Well, what do I do? --------------------------------------- (Bus) [DOCTOR] Loop it back through the integrator, andkeep the signal ramping up. --------------------------------------- (Mobile HQ) (Bus) [DOCTOR] Five hundred Bernards. Do it now! --------------------------------------- (Mobile HQ) [TAYLOR] Yes! [TAYLOR] Yes! --------------------------------------- (Tunnel - north entrance) [MAGAMBO] Target at nine o'clock. [MAGAMBO] I don't believe it. Guns that work. --------------------------------------- (Bus) [NATHAN] Doctor, it's coming for us. [DOCTOR] Oh no, you don't. --------------------------------------- (Tunnel - north entrance) [MAGAMBO] Twelve o'clock. Take it out. [MAGAMBO] Cease fire. [CALHOON] Cease fire!

Ladies and gentlemen, youhave reached your final destination. Welcome home, the mighty twohundred. --------------------------------------- (Tunnel - north entrance) [CALHOON] Welcome back. If you could step away from the bus, just to besafe. As fast as you can, thank you. It's standard procedure. We needto screen you and then you'll all be taken to debriefing. [DOCTOR] I don't count.

It's not theirfault, it's their natural life cycle. But I'll see if I can nudge thewormholes on to uninhabited planets. Closer to home, Captain. Those twolads. Very good in a crisis. Nathan needs a job, Barclay's good withengines. You could do a lot worse. Privates Nathan and Barclay, UNIT'sfinest. [MAGAMBO] I'll see what I can do. And I've got something for you. [DOCTOR] Better than a bus, any day. Hello. [MAGAMBO] Found in the gardens of Buckingham Palace. [DOCTOR] Oh, she doesn't mind. [MAGAMBO] Now, I've got three dead alien stingrays to clear up.

I want more days likethis. I want every day to be like this. We're made for each other. Yousaid so yourself. The perfect team. Why not? [DOCTOR] People have travelled with me and I've lost them. Lost themall. Never again. [MACMILLAN] Lady Christina de Souza. Oh, I have waited a long time tosay this. I am arresting you on suspicion of theft. You do not have tosay anything, etcetera, etcetera.

Don't just standthere, stop her. [MACMILLAN] Open the door. I'll add resisting arrest. [DOCTOR] I'd step back, if I were you. [MACMILLAN] I'm charging you too. Aiding and abetting. [DOCTOR] Yes. I'll just step inside this police box and arrest myself. [MACMILLAN] Out, now. [MACMILLAN] No! Come back! [ANGELA] Go on. [CHRISTINA] We could've been so good together. [DOCTOR] Christina, we were.

Uncle Soon called in, he says hello. He keeps saying, you must bemissing her. I said, she's been gone for over two years now, I'mgetting used to it. [EMILY [on monitor]] Oh, no, it's breaking up. It must be the solarflares. [ADELAIDE] Talk faster. [EMILY [on monitor]] About the deposit on the house. Oh, er, I've spokento the bank --------------------------------------- (Mars) [DOCTOR] The red planet. --------------------------------------- (Central dome) [ED [OC]] Sun sets in ten minutes, Yuri. You're going to lose the light. [MIA] That's it. Got you on External Ten. [YURI [on monitor]] Almost there. That's the radial clamp down. One morething. [ED] Get back inside, you're using power and oxygen. --------------------------------------- (Outside the airlock) [YURI] Oh, hold on. Get this on camera. What do youthink? --------------------------------------- (Central dome) [MIA] Hey, looks good. Nice one, Yuri. [ED] You wasted an entire solar panel just to make that. [YURI [on monitor]] Oh, lighten up. It's a joke. [ED] We come all this way to an empty planet, untouched by civilisation,and what do we do? Put up cheap jokes. That's not funny, that'spollution. [ADELAIDE] Having fun? [ED] I was just telling him. [ADELAIDE] I expect better of you, Ed. Now get back to work, all of you. --------------------------------------- (Mars) [DOCTOR] Oh, beautiful. [GADGET] Rotate slowly. [GADGET] You are under arrest for trespassing. Gadget gadget. --------------------------------------- (Central dome) [ADELAIDE] State your name, rank, and intention. [DOCTOR] The Doctor. Doctor. Fun. [TARAK] What the hell? It's a man. A man on Mars. How? [STEFFI] He was wearing this thing. I have never seen anything like it. [TARAK] What did Mission Control say? [STEFFI] They're out of range for ten hours with the solar flares. [ADELAIDE] If we could cut the chat, everyone. [DOCTOR] Actually, chat's second on my list, the first being gun pointedat my head. Which then puts my head second and chat third, I think.Gun, head, chat, yeah. I hate lists. But you could hurt someone withthat thing. Just put it down. [ADELAIDE] Oh, you'd like that. [DOCTOR] Can you find me someone who wouldn't? [ADELAIDE] Why should I trust you? [DOCTOR] Because I give you my word. And forty million miles away fromhome, my word is all you've got. [ADELAIDE] Keep Gadget covering him. [GADGET] Gadget gadget. [DOCTOR] Oh right, so you control that thing. Auto-glove response. [ROMAN] You got it. To the right. [GADGET] Gadget gadget. [ROMAN] And to the left. [DOCTOR] It's a bit flimsy. [GADGET] Gadget gadget. [DOCTOR] Does it have to keep saying that? [ROMAN] I think it's funny. [DOCTOR] I hate funny robots. [MAGGIE [OC]] Excuse me, boss. Computer log says we've got an --------------------------------------- (Biodome) [MAGGIE] Extra person on site. How's that possible? [ADELAIDE [OC]] Keep the Biodome closed. --------------------------------------- (Central dome) [ADELAIDE] And when using open comms, you call meCaptain. [MAGGIE [OC]] Yeah, but --------------------------------------- (Biodome) [MAGGIE] Who is it? Disconnected. She's cut me off.Can you believe her? It's like we're just gardeners. [ANDY] As long as they leave us alone, that's fine with me. Oh, youbeauties. Look at this. [MAGGIE] Better start planting some more if there's an extra mouth tofeed. [ANDY] The very first garden off Earth. Everything brand new. Eden.That's what we should've called this place. [MAGGIE] It's the Philippines. I bet. If there's someone else on Mars,it's got to be the Philippines. All those stories about them building arocket. Adelaide's going to love that. Stealing her thunder. Mind you,worth it to see her face. [MAGGIE] Or it could be the Spanish. They kept that Spacelink projectunder wraps. Didn't your sister work for them? Are you all right, mate?Come on, stop mucking about. Andy? Are you okay? --------------------------------------- (Central dome) [ED] He can't be a World State flight, because we'dknow about it. Therefore, he's got to be one of the independents, yeah?Was it the Branson inheritance lot? They've talked about a Mars shotfor years. [DOCTOR] Right, yes, okay, you got me. So, I'm the Doctor, and you are? [ADELAIDE] Oh, come on. We're the first off-world colonists in history.Everyone on planet Earth knows who we are. [DOCTOR] You're the first? The very first humans on Mars? Then this is [BOTH] Bowie Base One. [DOCTOR] Number one. Founded July 1st, 2058. Established Bowie Base Onein the Gusev Crater. You've been here how long? [ADELAIDE] Seventeen months. [DOCTOR] 2059. It's 2059, right now. Oh! My head is so stupid. You'reCaptain Adelaide Brooke. And Ed. You're Deputy Edward Gold. Tarak Ital,MD. Nurse Yuri Kerenski. Senior Technician Steffi Ehrlich. JuniorTechnician Roman Groom. Geologist Mia Bennett. You're only twenty sevenyears old. [ADELAIDE] As I said, Doctor, everyone knows our names. [DOCTOR] Oh, they'll never forget them. What's the date, today? What isit? Tell me the exact date. [ADELAIDE] November 21st, 2059. [DOCTOR] Right. Okay, fine. [STEFFI] Is there something wrong? [MIA] What's so important about my age? [DOCTOR] I should go. I really should go. I'm sorry. I'm sorry with allof my hearts, but it's one of those very rare times when I've got nochoice. It's been an honour. Seriously, a very great honour to meet youall. The Martian pioneers. [DOCTOR] Oh, thank you. Ah. [GADGET] Gadget gadget. [DOCTOR] Thank you. There's the other two. Hold on. Margaret Cain andAndrew Stone. [ED] Maggie, if you want to meet the only new human being that you'regoing to see in the next five years, better come take a look. [MIA] What was that? [DOCTOR] Oh, I really should go. [ED] This is Central. Biodome report immediately. [ADELAIDE] Show me the Biodome. [ED] Internal cameras are down. [ADELAIDE] Show me the exterior. [ADELAIDE] I'm going over. Doctor, with me. [DOCTOR] Yeah, I'm sorry. Er, I'd love to help, but I'm leaving rightnow. [ADELAIDE] Take his spacesuit, lock it up. This started as soon as youarrived, so you're not going anywhere except with me. --------------------------------------- (Tunnel 1) [GADGET] Gadget gadget. [ADELAIDE] What's so important about Mia's age? You said she's onlytwenty seven. Why does it matter? What did you mean? [DOCTOR] Oh, I just open my mouth and words come out. They don't makemuch sense. [TARAK] Telling me. [DOCTOR] Thank you, Doctor. [TARAK] Any time, Doctor. [GADGET] Gadget gadget. --------------------------------------- (Central dome) [DOCTOR [on monitor]] I hate robots. Did I say? [ROMAN] Yeah, and he's not too fond of you. What's wrong with robots? --------------------------------------- (Tunnel 1) [DOCTOR] It's not the robots, it's the people.Dressing them up and giving them silly voices. Like you're reducingthem. [ROMAN [OC]] Yeah. Friend of mine --------------------------------------- (Central dome) [ROMAN] She made her domestic robot look like a dog. --------------------------------------- (Tunnel 1) [DOCTOR] Ah well, dogs. That's different. [ROMAN [OC]] But I adapted Gadget out of the --------------------------------------- (Central dome) [ROMAN] Worker drones. Those things are huge. Theybuilt this place when the shell was lowered down from orbit. They'vegot a strength capacity of fifteen tons. [ADELAIDE [OC]] The channel is open for essential --------------------------------------- (Tunnel 1) [ADELAIDE] Communications only. --------------------------------------- (Central dome) [ROMAN] Sorry. Love those drones. --------------------------------------- (Tunnel 1) [DOCTOR] I've read all that stuff about you, CaptainAdelaide. But one thing they never said. Was it worth it, the mission? [ADELAIDE] We've got excellent results from the soil analysis. [DOCTOR] No, but all of it. Because they say you sacrificed everything.Devoted your whole life to get here. [ADELAIDE] It's been chaos back home. Forty long years. The climate, theozone, the oil apocalypse. We almost reached extinction. Then to flyabove that, to stand on a world with no smoke, where the only straightline is the sunlight? Yes. It's worth it. [DOCTOR] Ah. That's the Adelaide Brooke I always wanted to meet. Thewoman with starlight in her soul. [ADELAIDE] What's that? [ADELAIDE] It's Maggie. [DOCTOR] Don't touch her! [TARAK] I know the procedure. Maggie, can you hear me? It's Tarak.Maggie? It's okay, she's still breathing. She's alive. Yuri, I've gotMargaret Cain, head trauma. I need a full medpack. --------------------------------------- (Sickbay) [YURI] I've got it. Medpack on its way. --------------------------------------- (Central dome) [ED] I'm going to help! [STEFFI] In the absence of the Captain, you're in charge, sir! You'vegot to stay in the Dome. --------------------------------------- (Tunnel 1) [DOCTOR] Don't touch her. Use the gloves. [TARAK] Do what he says. Get her to Sickbay. Put her in isolation. [ADELAIDE] We're going on to the Biodome. Tarak, with me. Yuri can takecare of her. Ed, go back. Gadget, stand guard. Keep an eye on thisarea. [GADGET] Gadget gadget. [ED] Captain, you're going to need me. Andy is the only other crewmember out here, and if that wasn't an accident, then he's gone wild. [ADELAIDE] You've deserted your post. Consider that an official warning.Now get back to work. Doctor. --------------------------------------- (Central dome) [STEFFI] Captain, that sound we heard from theBiodome. I've run it through diagnostics. According to the computer,it's, it's Andy. --------------------------------------- (Biodome airlock) [STEFFI [OC]] It registers as the voice print ofAndy Stone. [ADELAIDE] Understood. Double check, thanks. [TARAK] Air pressure stabilised. --------------------------------------- (Biodome) [ADELAIDE] Andrew? Andrew Stone? It's CaptainBrooke. Andy, report. I need to see you. Where are you? [DOCTOR] There you go. [ADELAIDE] What's that device? [DOCTOR] Screwdriver. [ADELAIDE] Are you the Doctor or the janitor? [DOCTOR] I don't know. Sounds like me. The maintenance man of theuniverse. [ADELAIDE] You stay with me. Don't step out of my sight. Tarak, go toExternal Door South. Make sure it's intact. [TARAK] Yes, ma'am. [DOCTOR] Quite an achievement. First flower on Mars in ten thousandyears. And you're growing veg! [ADELAIDE] It's that lot. They're already planning Christmas dinner.Last year it was dehydrated protein, this year they want the realthing. [DOCTOR] Still, fair enough. Christmas. [ADELAIDE] If we must. [DOCTOR] You've got birds! [ADELAIDE] It's part of the project, to keep the insect population down. [DOCTOR] Good sign. [ADELAIDE] In what way? [DOCTOR] Well, they're still alive. [YURI [OC]] Captain, good news. --------------------------------------- (Sickbay) [YURI] It's Maggie. She's awake. She's back with us.Hey. How are you, soldier? Just take it easy. Can you remember whathappened? [MAGGIE] I was just working. Then I woke up here. --------------------------------------- (Biodome) [ADELAIDE] What about Andy? We can't find him. --------------------------------------- (Sickbay) [ADELAIDE [OC]] Was he all right? [MAGGIE] I don't know. I just [ADELAIDE [OC]] If you remember anything, let me know straight away. --------------------------------------- (Central dome) [ED] Yuri, does she know how she ended up in thetunnel? --------------------------------------- (Biodome) [ADELAIDE] And keep the comms clear. --------------------------------------- (Central dome) [ADELAIDE [OC]] Everything goes through me, gotthat? --------------------------------------- (Sickbay) [MAGGIE] Come on. Just let me out of here. I'm fine.Just groggy. [YURI] You know the rules. Twenty four hours. --------------------------------------- (Biodome) [TARAK] Andy? Andy! Andy! There you are. Are you allright? [TARAK] Andy. Andrew. Look at me. --------------------------------------- (Sickbay) [MAGGIE] Is that your brother? [YURI] It's only a repeat. The solar flares are still up. Are you okay? [MAGGIE] Yeah. Just, you know. [YURI] He makes me laugh, though. It's his husband. He spends money likean idiot! Last year, for Mikhail's birthday, he said don't buy meanything. [YURI] Let's save money. Georg says fine, okay. His birthday comesaround, turns out Georg has bought him a car. Top of the range. And thething is, he's used Mikhail's credit stamp. So Mik's saying, that meansI bought it myself. Georg says it's the thought that counts. [MAGGIE] Where does he live? [YURI] Oh, just outside Dagestan. [MAGGIE] Where's that? [MAGGIE] By the sea. [YURI] Well, technically it's more of a lake. [MAGGIE] Earth is so much water. [YURI] Yeah. Just look at her. Forty million miles away. [MAGGIE] It has so much beauty. [MAGGIE] We should like that world. [YURI] This is Sickbay. We have a situation. Maggie's condition has. Idon't know. I don't know what it is. It's water, just pouring out. [ADELAIDE [OC]] Yuri, calm down. --------------------------------------- (Biodome) [ADELAIDE] Just tell me what's happened to her. [YURI [OC]] The skin is --------------------------------------- (Sickbay) [YURI] Sort of broken around the mouth. And she'sexuding --------------------------------------- (Biodome) [YURI [OC]] Water, like she's drowning. [ADELAIDE] Tarak, this area's unsafe. We're going back. Tarak? Tarak! [DOCTOR] Where was he? --------------------------------------- (Central dome) [ED] Yuri, keep her contained. Seal the door atmaximum. I'm on my way! --------------------------------------- (Biodome) [DOCTOR] Andy, just leave him alone. [ADELAIDE] Step away from him. [DOCTOR] I can help, I promise. I can help. Just leave that man alone. [ADELAIDE] I order you to stop. Stop, or I'll shoot. [DOCTOR] Andy, I'm asking you to take your hand away from him and listento me. [DOCTOR] There now, that's better, hmm? So, you must be Andy. Hello. [DOCTOR] We've got to go. [DOCTOR] Set the seals on maximum! --------------------------------------- (Sickbay) [ED] What the hell? --------------------------------------- (Central dome) [MIA] That's not Maggie. What's happened to her?Yuri, what is she? [STEFFI] Captain, we need you back here. [ADELAIDE [OC]] Just tell me that Maggie is contained. --------------------------------------- (Biodome airlock) [ADELAIDE] Can you confirm, Ed? --------------------------------------- (Sickbay) [ED] Confirmed. She's locked in. [ADELAIDE [OC]] Keep surveillance till I get back. --------------------------------------- (Biodome airlock) [ADELAIDE] And close down all water supplies. Allpipes and outlets. Don't consume anything. --------------------------------------- (Central dome) [ADELAIDE] Have you got that, everyone? That's anorder. Don't drink the water. --------------------------------------- (Biodome airlock) [ADELAIDE] Don't even touch it. Not one drop. [DOCTOR] Can you talk? Human beings are sixty percent water, which makesthem the perfect host. [ADELAIDE] What for? [DOCTOR] I don't know. I never will. Because I've got to go. Whatever'sstarted here, I can't see it to the end. I can't. [DOCTOR] This thing's airtight, yeah? [ADELAIDE] And therefore watertight. [DOCTOR] It depends how clever the water is. [ADELAIDE] They're fusing the system. [DOCTOR] Abandon ship! --------------------------------------- (Tunnel 1) [ADELAIDE] Doctor, we haven't got time. [DOCTOR] They can run faster than us. We need a lift. --------------------------------------- (Central dome) [ROMAN] Hey! --------------------------------------- (Tunnel 1) [GADGET] Gadget gadget. [DOCTOR] Get on behind me. [ADELAIDE] That thing goes at two miles an hour. [DOCTOR] Not any more. Trust me. [GADGET] Gadget gadget. [DOCTOR] Gadget gadget. [ADELAIDE] The Central Dome airlocks have got Hardinger seals. There'sno way they can get in. [DOCTOR] Come on. Come on. [GADGET] Gadget gadget. [DOCTOR] Come on. Come on. [ADELAIDE] I thought you hated robots. [DOCTOR] I do. --------------------------------------- (Airlock) [ADELAIDE] We're safe. It's hermetically sealed.They can't get in. [DOCTOR] Water is patient, Adelaide. Water just waits. It wears down theclifftops, the mountains, the whole of the world. Water always wins.Come on. --------------------------------------- (Central dome) [ADELAIDE] Biodome Tunnel is out of bounds. Andy andTarak are infected. --------------------------------------- (Passageway) [ADELAIDE] Repeat, infected. Make no contact. And ifthey make the slightest move, tell me. --------------------------------------- (Central dome) [ADELAIDE [OC]] I'm going to the Medical Dome. --------------------------------------- (Tunnel 2) [DOCTOR] Blimey, it's a distance. You could do withbikes in this place. [ADELAIDE] Every pound in weight equals three tons of fuel. [DOCTOR] Yeah, I know. But bikes. --------------------------------------- (Sickbay) [ADELAIDE] Has that door got a Hardinger seal? [ED] No, just basic. [ADELAIDE] Then the moment she heads for the door, we evacuate. Gotthat? [ED] Pulse is low. Electrical activity in the brain seems to be goinghaywire. [ADELAIDE] Can she talk? [YURI] Don't know. She was talking before we noticed the change, but [ADELAIDE] Maggie, can you hear me? Do you know who I am? Yourcommanding officer, Captain Adelaide Brooke. Can you tell me whathappened? [DOCTOR] Hoorghwall in schtochman ahn warrellinsh och fortabellan iinhoorgwahn. [ED] What language is that? [DOCTOR] Ancient North Martian. [ADELAIDE] Don't be ridiculous. [ED] It's like she recognised it. [DOCTOR] And her eyes are different. They're clear, like she's closer tohuman. [ED] Not close enough for me. [DOCTOR] Where do you get your water from? [ADELAIDE] The ice field. That's why we chose the crater. We're on topof an underground glacier. [DOCTOR] Tons of water. Marvellous. [YURI] But every single drop is filtered. It's screened. It's safe. [DOCTOR] Looks like it, yeah. [ED] If something was frozen down there. A viral life form held in theice for all those years. [DOCTOR] Look at her mouth. All blackened, like there's some sort offission. This thing, whatever it is, doesn't just hide in water, itcreates water. Tell me what you want. [YURI] She was looking at the screen. At Earth. She wanted Earth. Aworld full of water. [ED] Captain, With me. [ED] I'm sorry, but it's an unknown infection and it's spreading. Thatdemands Action Procedure One. [ADELAIDE] Do you think I don't know that? [ED] I think you need reminding. [ADELAIDE] Yeah. [ED] Well, at least I'm good for something. [ADELAIDE] Now and again. [ED] That's almost a compliment. Things must be serious. [DOCTOR] Sorry, sorry, but, Action One, that means evacuation, yeah? [ADELAIDE] We're going home. This is Captain Brooke. I'm declaringAction One. Repeat to all crewmembers, this is Action One withimmediate effect. Evacuate the base. --------------------------------------- (Central dome) [STEFFI] I'll store the central computer. Mia, stripthe cargo down to essentials. Roman, on your feet. [ROMAN] But we came all this way. [GADGET] Gadget gadget. [STEFFI] And you can kiss that robot goodbye. It's too heavy. Now shoveit in storage and hurry up. [ADELAIDE [OC]] Steffi, what's your estimate on shuttle viability? [STEFFI] It's a nine month flight. It'll take us at least three hours toload up everything we need. [ADELAIDE [OC]] You've got twenty minutes. And give me a report on Andyand Tarak. [STEFFI] Still in the Biodome tunnel. They're just standing there, likethey're waiting. [ADELAIDE [OC]] Keep an eye on them. --------------------------------------- (Sickbay) [ADELAIDE] And make that twenty minutes fifteen. Ed,line up the shuttle. Go straight to ignition status. [ED] Doing it now. [YURI] But what about Maggie? [ADELAIDE] She stays behind. We've got no way to contain her on board.Close this place down. I want the power directed to the shuttle. [DOCTOR] Of course, the only problem is [ADELAIDE] Thank you, Doctor. Your spacesuit will be returned. And goodluck to you. [DOCTOR] The problem is, this thing is clever. It didn't infect thebirds or the insects in the biodome, it chose the humans. You werechosen. And I told you, Adelaide, water can wait. Tarak changedstraight away, but when Maggie was infected it stayed hidden insideher, no doubt so it could infiltrate the Central Dome. Which means [ADELAIDE] Any one of us could already be infected. We've all beendrinking the same water. [DOCTOR] And if you take that back to Earth, one drop. Just one drop. [ADELAIDE] But we're only presuming infection. If we can find out howthis thing got through. When it got through. Yuri, continue with ActionOne. I'm going to inspect the ice field. [DOCTOR] Right. I should leave. Finally, I should leave. Yuri, me oldmate, no point in me seeing the ice field. No point at all. No.Adelaide! --------------------------------------- (Tunnel 3) [DOCTOR] All I'm saying is, bikes. Little foldaway bikes. Don't weigh athing. --------------------------------------- (Sickbay) [YURI] I'm sorry. --------------------------------------- (Central dome) [ROMAN] Even if she gets past the Medical Dome,she'll never get past the Hardinger seal at this end, right? [ED] So we keep saying. Camera's down. We've lost her. --------------------------------------- (Water extraction module) [DOCTOR] They tell legends of Mars from long ago, ofa fine and noble race who built an empire out of snow. The IceWarriors. [ADELAIDE] I haven't got time for stories. [DOCTOR] Perhaps they found something down there. Used their might andtheir wisdom to freeze it. [ADELAIDE] Doctor, we need to find any sort of change in the waterprocess. We've got to date the infection. [COMPUTER] Access denied. [ADELAIDE] You don't look like a coward, but all you've wanted to do isleave. You know so much about us. [DOCTOR] Well, you're famous. [ADELAIDE] It's like you know more. [DOCTOR] This moment, this precise moment in time, it's like. I mean,it's only a theory, what do I know, but I think certain moments in timeare fixed. Tiny, precious moments. Everything else is in flux, anythingcan happen, but those certain moments, they have to stand. This base onMars with you, Adelaide Brooke, this is one vital moment. What happenshere must always happen. [ADELAIDE] Which is what? [DOCTOR] I don't know. I think something wonderful happens. Somethingthat started fifty years ago, isn't that right? [ADELAIDE] I've never told anyone that. [DOCTOR] You told your daughter. And maybe one day she tells the storyto her daughter. The day the Earth was stolen and moved across theuniverse. And you [ADELAIDE] I saw the Daleks. We looked up. The sky had changed. Everyonewas running and screaming. And my father took hold of me. --------------------------------------- (Memory - attic) [BROOKE] Stay here. Don't move. I've got to go out.I'm going to find your mother, but I'm coming back. I promise you. I'mcoming back. [ADELAIDE [OC]] I never saw him again. --------------------------------------- (Water extraction module) [ADELAIDE] Nor my mother. They were never found. Butout on the streets, there was panic and burning. I went to the window,and there, in the sky, I saw it, Doctor. And it saw me. It stared atme. It looked right into me. And then it simply went away. I knew, thatnight, I knew I would follow it. [DOCTOR] But not for revenge. [ADELAIDE] What would be the point of that? [DOCTOR] That's what makes you remarkable. And that's how you createhistory. [ADELAIDE] What do you mean? [DOCTOR] Imagine it, Adelaide, if you began a journey that takes thehuman race all the way out to the stars. It begins with you, and thenyour granddaughter, you inspire her, so that in thirty years SusieFontana Brooke is the pilot of the first lightspeed ship to ProximaCentauri. And then everywhere, with her children, and her children'schildren forging the way. To the Dragon Star, the Celestial Belt of theWinter Queen, the Map of the Watersnake Wormholes. One day a Brookewill even fall in love with a Tandonian prince, that's the start of awhole new species. But everything starts with you, Adelaide. From fiftyyears ago to right here, today. Imagine. [ADELAIDE] Who are you? Why are you telling me this? Doctor, why tellme? [DOCTOR] As consolation. [ADELAIDE] Andy Stone. He logged on yesterday. [ANDY [on screen]] Maintenance log, twenty one twenty, November 2059.Number three water filter's bust. And guess what? The spares they sentdon't fit. What a surprise. Over and out. [DOCTOR] A filter! One tiny little filter and then the Flood. [ADELAIDE] But that means the infection arrived today, and the water'sonly cycled out of the biodome after a week. The rest of us can't beinfected. We can leave. Ed, we're clean. --------------------------------------- (Central dome) [ADELAIDE [OC]] How are we doing? [ED] Shuttle's active. Stage one. I haven't got time to convey theprotein packs. If you want food you'regoing to have to carry it by hand.

[ADELAIDE] Bikes! --------------------------------------- (Central dome) [ADELAIDE] Now get to your ship. I'm saving my people, you saveyourself. I know what this moment is. It's the moment we escape. Nowget out. [ED] Everyone, stay focused. [MIA] I'll swap them round. Roman, what about you? [ROMAN] Protein packs thirty to thirty six. [ED] Hurry up, Roman. [ADELAIDE] Ditch the central containers. We don't need them. [STEFFI] Units forty one, forty two and forty three. [YURI] Unit forty one is here. [ADELAIDE] Roman, try to condense the oxygen membranes. We can lose tenpounds. Faster, come on! Ed, how's the fuel jets? [ED] Cooling down in about thirty seconds. [STEFFI] Captain, we've got all the hard drives. [ADELAIDE] What the hell's that noise? Mia, you lot, shut up. [ED] It's the module sensors. Exterior twelve. The cameras are down, butthere's pressure on top of the module. Two signals right above us. [STEFFI] That means they're on the roof? [YURI] How did they get inside the Dome? [ED] They used the maintenance shafts. [MIA] The shaft's open and they haven't got spacesuits. [ED] They breathe water. [STEFFI] But they'd freeze. [YURI] They've got that internal fission. [MIA] But we're safe, they can't get through, can they? Can they? [ROMAN] This place is airtight. [STEFFI] Can it get through? Ed, can it get through? [ED] I don't know! Water itself isn't motile, but it has some sort ofpersistence. [ADELAIDE] Everyone, listen to me. That's ten feet of steel-combinationup there. We need all the protein packs or we're going to starve. Nowkeep working. Roman, watch the ceiling. Ed, get to the shuttle. Fire itup. [ED] I can carry more than this lot, Captain. [ADELAIDE] That's an order! [ED] Captain. --------------------------------------- (Airlock) [COMPUTER] Access denied. Access denied. [ADELAIDE [OC]] Tell me what happens. [DOCTOR] I don't know. [ADELAIDE [OC]] Yes, you do. --------------------------------------- (Central dome) [ADELAIDE] Now tell me. [DOCTOR [OC]] You should be with the others. [ADELAIDE] Tell me! I could ramp up the pressure in that airlock andcrush you. [DOCTOR [on monitor]] Except you won't. You could have shot Andy Stone,but you didn't. --------------------------------------- (Airlock) [DOCTOR] I loved you for that. Imagine, imagine youknew something. Imagine you found yourself somewhere. I don't know,Pompeii. --------------------------------------- (Central dome) [DOCTOR [OC]] Imagine you were in Pompeii. [ADELAIDE] What the hell's that got to do with it? [DOCTOR [OC]] And you tried to save them. --------------------------------------- (Airlock) [DOCTOR] But in doing so, you make it happen.Anything I do just makes it happen. --------------------------------------- (Central dome) [STEFFI] Captain, we need you right now. --------------------------------------- (Airlock) [ADELAIDE [OC]] I'm still here. --------------------------------------- (Central dome) [DOCTOR [on monitor]] You're taking Action One.There are four more standard action procedures. And Action Five is? [ADELAIDE] Detonation. [DOCTOR [on monitor]] The final option. The nuclear device at the heartof the Central Dome. Today, on the twenty first of November 2059,Captain Brooke activates that device, taking the base and all her crewmembers with her. No one ever knows why. But you were saving Earth.That's what inspires your granddaughter. She takes your people out intothe galaxy because you die on Mars. You die today. She flies out therelike she's trying to meet you. [ADELAIDE] I won't die. I will not. [DOCTOR [on monitor]] But your death creates the future. [ADELAIDE] Help me. Why won't you help, Doctor? If you know all of this,why can't you change it? [DOCTOR [on monitor]] I can't. [ADELAIDE] Why can't you find a way? You could tell me, I don't know [DOCTOR [on monitor]] I'm sorry, but I can't. Sometimes I can, sometimesI do. Most times I can save someone, or anyone. But not you. Youwondered all your life why that Dalek spared you. I think it knew. Yourdeath is fixed in time for ever. And that's right. [ADELAIDE] You'll die here too. [DOCTOR [on monitor]] No. [ADELAIDE] What's going to save you? [DOCTOR [on monitor]] Captain Adelaide Brooke. [ADELAIDE] Damn you. [ROMAN] Water! We've got water!

Move it! [STEFFI] Captain, it's inside! --------------------------------------- (Airlock) [ADELAIDE [OC]] Steffi! [MIA [OC]] Steffi, get back! [ADELAIDE [OC]] We're coming, Steffi. Hold on! --------------------------------------- (Tunnel 0) [ROMAN [OC]] The access panel's fused, Captain. We can't open it. [YURI [OC]] We can't get through! [STEFFI [OC]] I can't move! --------------------------------------- (Central dome) [ULRIKA [on monitor]] Hallo, Mutti. Hallo, Mars! Sag hallo. (continuesin German.) [ADELAIDE] Steffi! Can you hear me? [MIA] Oh, my God. [ADELAIDE] Out. Get out. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [ADELAIDE] Ed, we're going round the long way. Howare we doing? --------------------------------------- (Shuttle) [ED] All systems online one hundred percent. Not asingle delay. Don't you worry, Captain, we aregoing to fly. --------------------------------------- (Outside the Base) [ADELAIDE [OC]] I need air in section F right now. All of you [YURI [OC]] Locking chamber three. Locking chamber four. [ROMAN [OC]] The water is going to get through. [ADELAIDE [OC]] Keep moving! [YURI [OC]] Gate five is open. Gate six is open. --------------------------------------- (Section F) [MIA] I've got twenty five to thirty locked down. [ADELAIDE] Roman, come on. With me. [ROMAN] You'd better go. --------------------------------------- (Outside the base) [ADELAIDE] Don't just stand there. Move. [ROMAN [OC]] You'd really better go without me. --------------------------------------- (Section F) [ROMAN] I'm sorry, Captain. One drop. [MIA] Roman! Roman! [YURI] Leave him, come on. --------------------------------------- (Outside the base) [MIA [OC]] We can't just leave him. [YURI [OC]] Come on. [MIA [OC]] Let me go! [YURI [OC]] We've got to go. [MIA [OC]] Roman! --------------------------------------- (Section F) [YURI] I'm so sorry. [ED [OC]] Captain. The shuttle is down. [ADELAIDE] What the hell do you mean? --------------------------------------- (Outside the base) [ED [OC]] Compromised. It was Maggie. [ADELAIDE] Get out of there. [ED [OC]] Too late. --------------------------------------- (Shuttle) [ED] They want this ship to get to Earth. Got no choice. --------------------------------------- (Outside the base) [ED] Hated it, Adelaide. --------------------------------------- (Shuttle) [ED] This bloody job. Argh. --------------------------------------- (Outside the base) [ED [OC]] You never gave me a chance. --------------------------------------- (Section F) [ED [OC]] You never could forgive me. --------------------------------------- (Shuttle) [ED] See you later. --------------------------------------- (Section F) [YURI] We're losing oxygen! --------------------------------------- (Outside the base) [YURI [OC]] The hull is broken! [DOCTOR [memory]] I'm not just a Time Lord, I'm the Last of the TimeLords. They'll never come back. Not now. I've got a Tardis. Same oldlife, last of the Time Lords. And they died and took it all with them.The walls of reality closed, the worlds were sealed, gone for ever. TheTime Lords kept their eye on everything. It's gone now. But they died,the Time Lords! All of them, they died. I'm the last of the Time Lords. --------------------------------------- (Section F) [DOCTOR] Mia, take this sealant, fix that leak.Yuri, open emergency oxygen. Adelaide, don't just sit there. That'sbetter. The Dome's still got integrity! It's ten feet ofsteel-combination, made in Liverpool. Magnificent workmanship. [ADELAIDE] It can't be stopped. Don't die with us. [DOCTOR] No, because someone told me just recently. They said I wasgoing to die. They said he will knock four times, and I think I knowwhat that means, and it doesn't mean right here, right now, because Idon't hear anyone knocking, do you? [DOCTOR] Three knocks is all you're getting. [DOCTOR] Water and electricity, bad mix. Now then, what else have wegot? [ADELAIDE] But there's no way to fight them. [DOCTOR] Heat! They use water, so we can use heat. Works against the IceWarriors, works against the Flood. Ramp up the environment controls andsteam them. [ADELAIDE] But you said we die. For the future, for the human race. [DOCTOR] Yes, because there are laws. There are Laws of Time. Once upona time there were people in charge of those laws, but they died. Theyall died. Do you know who that leaves? Me! It's taken me all theseyears to realise the Laws of Time are mine, and they will obey me! [ADELAIDE] Environment controls are down. Sorry, Doctor, it looks likehistory's got other ideas. [DOCTOR] I'm not beaten yet. I'll go outside, find the heat regulator. [DOCTOR] Not beaten. Not beaten! You've got spacesuits in the nextsection. [DOCTOR] We're not just fighting the Flood, we're fighting time itself.And I'm going towin! [YURI] Something is happening to the glacier. [DOCTOR] Think-a think-a think-a think. What have we got? Not enoughoxygen. Protein packs, useless. Glacier, glacier mints, minty, Monty,molto bene, bunny, bonny, bish bash bosh. Argh. The room, the room,look at the room. Section F. What's in Section F? Anyone! [YURI] Nothing. It's just storage. [DOCTOR] Storing what? [YURI] I don't know. Er, the weather spikes, the robots, the atomclamps. [DOCTOR] Atom clamps. Atom clamps? Who needs atom clamps? I love a funnyrobot. [GADGET] Gadget gadget. [DOCTOR] You take that. Good boy. [GADGET] Gadget gadget. [DOCTOR] Off we go then. [GADGET] Gadget gadget. [DOCTOR] Come on, come on! [COMPUTER] Implementing Captain's protocol. [DOCTOR] Adelaide? What are you doing? [MIA] Oh, my God. Action Five. [DOCTOR] If I have to fight you as well, then I will. [COMPUTER] Nuclear device now active and primed. [COMPUTER] Nuclear device now active and primed. [DOCTOR] Blast off! [GADGET] Gadget gadget. [DOCTOR] Faster! [COMPUTER] Nuclear device entering final process. --------------------------------------- (Outside the Tardis) [GADGET] Gadget gadget. --------------------------------------- (Section F) [DOCTOR] And we're in! Ha, ha. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [GADGET] Gadget gadget. --------------------------------------- (Section F) (Street) [DOCTOR] Isn't anyone going to thank me? [DOCTOR] He's lost his signal. Doesn't know where he is. [ADELAIDE] That's my house. [DOCTOR] Don't you get it? This is the twenty first of November 2059.It's the same day on Earth. And it's snowing. I love snow. [MIA] What is that thing? It's bigger. I mean, it's bigger on theinside. Who the hell are you? [ADELAIDE] Look after her. [YURI] Yes, ma'am. [ADELAIDE] You saved us. [DOCTOR] Just think though. Your daughter, and your daughter's daughter,you can see them again. Family reunion. [ADELAIDE] But I'm supposed to be dead. [DOCTOR] Not any more. [ADELAIDE] But Susie, my granddaughter. The person she's supposed tobecome might never exist now. [DOCTOR] Nah! Captain Adelaide can inspire her face to face. Differentdetails, but the story's the same. [ADELAIDE] You can't know that. And if my family changes, the whole ofhistory could change. The future of the human race. No-one should havethat much power. [DOCTOR] Tough. [ADELAIDE] You should have left us there. [DOCTOR] Adelaide, I've done this sort of thing before. In small ways,saved some little people, but never someone as important as you. Oh,I'm good. [ADELAIDE] Little people? What, like Mia and Yuri? Who decides they'reso unimportant? You? [DOCTOR] For a long time now, I thought I was just a survivor, but I'mnot. I'm the winner. That's who I am. The Time Lord Victorious. [ADELAIDE] And there's no one to stop you. [DOCTOR] No. [ADELAIDE] This is wrong, Doctor. I don't care who you are. The TimeLord Victorious is wrong. [DOCTOR] That's for me to decide. Now, you'd better get home. Oh, it'sall locked up. You've been away. Still, that's easy. [DOCTOR] All yours. [ADELAIDE] Is there nothing you can't do? [DOCTOR] Not any more. [ADELAIDE [OC]] I don't care who you are. The Time Lord Victorious iswrong. [DOCTOR] I've gone too far. Is this it? My death? Is it time? --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] No.

Doctor Who (25 Dec, 2009; Tenth Doctor) - The End of Time, part one (Street) [MASTER [OC]] Bwahahahahahaha! --------------------------------------- (Church) [WOMAN] They call it the Legend of the Blue Box. [WILF] Oh. I've never been in here before. I'm not one for churches. Toocold. [WOMAN] This was the site of a convent back in the thirteen hundreds.It's said a demon fell from the sky, then a man appeared. A man in ablue box. They called him the sainted physician. He smote the demon andthen disappeared. [WILF] That's a bit of a coincidence. [WOMAN] It's said there's no such thing as coincidence. Who knows?Perhaps he's coming back. [WILF] Oh, that would make my Christmas. [MASTER [OC]] Bwahahahahahaha! --------------------------------------- (Ood Sphere) [DOCTOR] Ah! Now, sorry. There you are. So, where were we? I wassummoned, wasn't I? An Ood in the snow, calling to me. Well, Ididn't exactly come straight here. Had a bit of fun, you know.Travelled about, did this and that. Got into trouble. You know me. Itwas brilliant. I saw the Phosphorous Carousel of the Great MagellanGestadt, saved a planet from the Red Carnivorous Maw, named a galaxyAlison. Got married. That was a mistake. Good Queen Bess. And let metell you, her nickname is no longer. Ahem. Anyway, what do you want? [SIGMA] You should not have delayed. [DOCTOR] The last time I was here you said my song would be ending soon,and I'm in no hurry for that. [SIGMA] You will come with me. [DOCTOR] Hold on. Better lock the Tardis. [DOCTOR] See? Like a car. I locked it like a car. Like. It's funny. No?Little bit? Blimey, try to make an Ood laugh. So how old are you now,Ood Sigma? Ah. [DOCTOR] Magnificent. Oh, come on, that is splendid. You've achieved allthis in how long? [SIGMA] One hundred years. [DOCTOR] Then we've got a problem. Because all of this is way too fast.Not just the city, I mean your ability to call me. Reaching all the wayback to the twenty first century. Something's accelerating your speciesway beyond normal. [SIGMA] And the Mind of the Ood is troubled. [DOCTOR] Why, what's happened? [SIGMA] Every night, Doctor, every night we have bad dreams. --------------------------------------- (Ood Council) [ELDER] Returning, returning, returning, it is slowly returning throughthe dark and the fire and the blood. Always returning, returning tothis world. It is returning, and he is returning, and they arereturning, but too late. Too late. Far too late. He has come. [SIGMA] Sit with the Elder of the Ood and share the dreaming. [DOCTOR] So. Right. Hallo. [OOD] You will join. You will join. You will join. You will join. Youwill join. You will join. You will join. [MASTER [OC]] Bwahahahahahaha! [ELDER] He comes to us every night. I think all the peoples of theuniverse dream of him now. [DOCTOR] That man is dead. [ELDER] There is yet more. Join us. Events are taking shape. So manyyears ago, and yet changing the now. There is a man [MASTER [OC]] Bwahahahahahaha! --------------------------------------- (Nobles' home) [ELDER [OC]] So scared. [DOCTOR] Wilfred. Is he all right? --------------------------------------- (Ood Council) [DOCTOR] What about Donna, is she safe? [ELDER] You should not have delayed, for the lines of convergence arebeing drawn across the Earth. Even now, the king is in his Countinghouse. [DOCTOR] I don't know who they are. [ELDER] And there is another. The most lonely of all, lost andforgotten. [DOCTOR] The Master's wife. [SIGMA] We see so much, but understand little. The woman in the cage,who is she? [DOCTOR] She was. It wasn't her fault, she was. The Master, he's a TimeLord, like me. I can show you. [DOCTOR] The Master took the name of Saxon. He married a human, a womancalled Lucy. And he corrupted her. She stood at his side while heconquered the Earth. I reversed everything he'd done so it never evenhappened, but Lucy Saxon remembered. I held him in my arms. I burnt hisbody. The Master is dead. [ELDER] And yet, you did not see. [DOCTOR] What's that? [MASTER [OC]] Bwahahahahahaha! [DOCTOR] Part of him survived. I have to go! [ELDER] But something more is happening, Doctor. The Master is part of agreater design, because a shadow is falling over creation. Somethingvast is stirring in the dark. The Ood have gained this power to seethrough time, because time is bleeding. Shapes of things once lost aremoving through the veil, and these events from years ago threaten todestroy this future, and the present, and the past. [DOCTOR] What do you mean? [ELDER] This is what we have seen, Doctor. The darkness heralds only onething. [OOD] The end of time itself. [MASTER [OC]] Bwahahahahahaha! [ELDER] Events that have happened are happening now. --------------------------------------- (Prison) [GOVERNOR] Mrs Saxon. Let me introduce myself. I'm your new Governor.I'm afraid the previous Governor met with something of an accident,which took quite some time to arrange. Miss Trefusis, if you willprepare. You kept your silence well, Mrs Saxon. Your trial was held insecret, with no jury, so no one knows who Harold Saxon was, where hecame from, why you killed him. Make her kneel. There are those of uswho never lost faith. And in his wisdom, Harold Saxon prepared for thismoment. He knew that he might die and he made us ready. Tonight, MrsSaxon, he returns. [MASTER [OC]] Bwahahahahahaha! [GOVERNOR] As it was written in the Secret Books of Saxon, these are thePotions of Life. [LUCY] Listen to me. Whatever he told you, you've got no idea whatyou're doing. [GOVERNOR] Miss Trefusis, the catalyst. [LUCY] What are you doing? Leave me alone! [GOVERNOR] You were Saxon's wife. You bore his imprint. That's all weneeded. The final biometrical signature. [LUCY] You can't bring him back. You can't! [LUCY] I'm begging you! Stop this now before it's too late! [GOVERNOR] We give ourselves that Saxon might live. [LUCY] Can't you see? He lied to you. His name isn't even Harold Saxon. [GOVERNOR] And this was written also, for his name is the Master! [MASTER] Never. Never. Never. Never. Never dying. Never dying! Neverdying! Never dying! Never dying!Bwahahahahahaha! Oh, Lucy. Sweet Lucy Saxon. My ever faithful. Did thewidow's kiss bring me back to life? [LUCY] You're killing them! [MASTER] Oh, let them die. They're just the first. The whole stupid,stinking, human disgrace can fall into the pit. Can't you hear it,Lucy? The noise?The drumbeat louder than ever before. The drums. The never endingdrums. Oh, I have missed them. [LUCY] But no-one knew you better than I did. I knew you'd come back.And all this time, your disciples have prepared. But so have we. [MASTER] What are you doing? [LUCY] The Secret Books of Saxon spoke of the Potions of Life. And I wasnever that bright, but my family had contacts. People who were cleverenough to calculate the opposite. [MASTER] Don't you dare. I'm ordering you, Lucy. You will obey me! [LUCY] Till death do us part, Harry! [MASTER] No! --------------------------------------- (Naismith's study) [NAISMITH] I think we might be in luck, darling. It's the footage fromBroadfell Prison the night it burnt down. Take a look at this. [ABIGAIL] Someone survived! Do you think it's him? Oh, that would besuch a Christmas present. [NAISMITH] You just leave it to Daddy. --------------------------------------- (Gate room) [NAISMITH] Ladies and gentlemen, it seems help is at hand. Christmas iscancelled. Prepare the gate. --------------------------------------- (Nobles' home) [WILF] Just going down to the Lion. Quick littlesnifter. Christmas drinks. All right, ta-da. --------------------------------------- (Outside the Nobles' home) [WILF] Paratroop One to Paratroop Two. We are mobilised. I repeat, weare mobilised. Rendezvous thirteen hundred hours. Over and out. [WILF] Come on! Way hey, shake a leg! Yay hey. Right then, come on,let's get going. [WILF] Off we go. Everybody all right? Who's got the chocolates then? --------------------------------------- (Minibus) [WILF] He's tall and thin, wears a brown suit, maybea blue suit. He's got a long brown coat. Modern sort of hair, allsticky-uppy, right? Oh, and on page two,be on the lookout for a police box exactly like the old ones. [MINNIE] I got locked inside one of them. August Bank Holiday 1962. [WINSTON] Were you misbehaving, Minnie? [MINNIE] I certainly was. Way hey. [WILF] Yeah, all right, all right. Now listen, this is important. Wehave got to find it, right? So phone around. Phone everybody. Sally,will you get onto the Bridge club? Right. Winston, you try the oldboys. Bobby, want you to ring the skiffle band, right? Between us,we've got the city covered. [MINNIE] The Silver Cloak. [WILF] Yeah. [WINSTON] Who is he, then, this Doctor? [WILF] No, I can't tell you that. I swear. Yeah, but answer me this.Have you been having bad dreams? All of you? Dreams you can't remember?Yeah. Well, that's why we need him. We need the Doctor more than ever. --------------------------------------- (Derelict site) [SARAH] Onions with that? [TOMMO] Oh yeah, go on, pile them on. What about you, Ginger? Onions? [TOMMO] He don't say much. Give him onions. He's down from Huddersfield. [SARAH] Well, you look after him. And don't forget tomorrow night. TheChristmas broadcast. President Obama. [TOMMO] Oh? [SARAH] He's promised to end the recession. Bad times will soon be over,Ginger. [TOMMO] Well, season's greetings to you. [SARAH] And you. Happy Christmas. [SARAH] Now, what can we get you, sir? [MASTER] Everything. I am so hungry. Bwahahahahahaha! [TOMMO] They're saying that the Presidents got this grand plan. He'sgoing to save the world with some big financial scheme. Whatever it is,I bet it won't reach you and me. [TOMMO] Oh! Somebody's lively on his feet. [MASTER] Starving. [TOMMO] Now, you see? That's what you don't want to do. Eat it all atonce. Tempting, I know. But if you make it last, it can last all day. [MASTER] Want more. Want cheese and chips, and meat and gravy, and creamand beer, and pork and beef and fat. Great big chunks of hot, wet red. [TOMMO] Good for you, mate. Maybe we'd better be going. [GINGER] You look like that bloke. Harold Saxon? The one that went mad. [MASTER] Now isn't that funny. Isn't that just the best thing of all.The master of disguise, stuck looking like the old Prime Minister. Ican't hide anywhere. He can see me. He can smell me. Can't let himsmell me. Doctor, Doctor, shocked her, stopped her, got to stop thesmell. The stink. The filthy, filthy stink. [TOMMO] Ginger, come with me. Right now. [MASTER] Because it's funny. Don't you see? Look at me. I'm splitting mysides. [MASTER] I am hilarious. I am the funniest thing in the whole wideworld. [TOMMO] Sarah! God help us! There's this man! [MASTER] Dinnertime! [DOCTOR] Please, let me help. You're burning up your own life force. [WILF] Oh, my gosh, Doctor. You're a sight for sore eyes. [DOCTOR] Out of my way! [WINSTON] Did we do it? Is that him? [OLIVER] Tall and thin, big brown coat. [MINNIE] The Silver Cloak. It worked. Because Wilf phoned Netty, whophoned June, and her sister lives opposite Broadfell, and she saw thepolice box, and her neighbour saw this man heading east. [DOCTOR] Wilfred? [WILF] Yeah? [DOCTOR] (sotto) Have you told them who I am? You promised me. [WILF] No, I just said you were a doctor, that's all. And might I say,sir, it is an honour to see you again. [MINNIE] Oh, but you never said he was a looker. He's gorgeous. Take aphoto. [OLIVER] Not bad, eh? Me next. [MINNIE] I'm Minnie. Minnie the Menace. It's a long time since I had aphoto with a handsome man. [WILF] Just get off him. Leave him alone, will you? [OLIVER] Hold on. Did it flash? [MINNIE] No, there's a blue light. Try again. [OLIVER] I'm all fingers and thumbs. [DOCTOR] I'm really kind of busy, you know. [MINNIE] Oh, it wont take a tick. Keep smiling. [DOCTOR] Is that your hand, Minnie? [MINNIE] Good boy. --------------------------------------- (Street) [WILF] Come on, then. Here we are, hurry up. Bye. You behave, bye. [WILF] Over here, come on. [DOCTOR] What's so special about this place? We passed fifteen cafes onthe way. [WILF] Yeah. Afternoon. --------------------------------------- (Cafe) [WILF] Oh, we had some good times, didn't we though?I mean, all those ATMOS things, and planets in the sky, and me withthat paint gun. I keep seeing things, Doctor. This face at night. [DOCTOR] Who are you? [WILF] I'm Wilfred Mott. [DOCTOR] No. People have waited hundreds of years to find me and thenyou manage it in a few hours. [WILF] Well, I'm just lucky I suppose. [DOCTOR] No, we keep on meeting, Wilf. Over and over again likesomething's still connecting us. [WILF] What's so important about me? [DOCTOR] Exactly. Why you? I'm going to die. [WILF] nan [DOCTOR] Don't you dare. [WILF] All right, I'll try not to. [DOCTOR] But I was told. He will knock four times. That was theprophecy. Knock four times, and then [WILF] Yeah, but I thought, when I saw you before, you said your peoplecould change, like, your whole body. [DOCTOR] I can still die. If I'm killed before regeneration, then I'mdead. Even then, even if I change, it feels like dying. Everything I amdies. Some new man goes sauntering away, and I'm dead. What? [WILF] I'm sorry, but I had to. Look, can't you make her better? [DOCTOR] Stop it. [WILF] No, but you're so clever. Can't you bring her memory back? Look,just go to her now. Go on, just run across the street. Go up and sayhello. [DOCTOR] If she ever remembers me, her mind will burn, and she will die. [DONNA] Don't you touch this car. [DOCTOR] She's not changed. [WILF] Nah. Oh, there he is. [WILF] Shaun Temple. They're engaged. Getting married in the spring. [DOCTOR] Another wedding. [WILF] Yeah. [DOCTOR] Hold on, she's not going to be called Noble-Temple? That soundslike a tourist spot. [WILF] No, it's Temple-Noble. [DOCTOR] Right. Is she happy? Is he nice? [WILF] Yeah, he's sweet enough. He's a bit of a dreamer. Mind you, he'son minimum wage, she's earning tuppence, so all they can afford is atiny little flat. And then sometimes I see this look on her face, likeshe's so sad, but she can't remember why. [DOCTOR] She's got him. [WILF] She's making do. [DOCTOR] Aren't we all? [WILF] Yeah, how about you? Who have you got now? [DOCTOR] No one. Travelling alone. I thought it was better. But I didsome things. It went wrong. I need [WILF] Oh, my word. I'm sorry. [DOCTOR] Merry Christmas. [WILF] Yeah, and you. [DOCTOR] Look at us. [WILF] But don't you see? You know, you need her, Doctor. I mean, look.Wouldn't she make you laugh again? Good old Donna? [WILF] Eh? [NARRATOR] And so it came to pass that the playerstook their final places, making ready the events that were to come. Themadman sat in his empire of dust and ashes, little knowing of the gloryhe would achieve. While his saviour looked upon the wilderness, in thehope of changing his inevitable fate. Far away, the idiots and foolsdreamt of a shining new future. A future now doomed to never happen. AsEarth rolled onwards into night, the people of that world did sleep,and shiver, somehow knowing that dawn would bring only one thing. Thefinal day. --------------------------------------- (Abandoned warehouse) [MASTER] I had estates. Do you remember my father's land back home?Pastures of red grass, stretching far across the slopes of MountPerdition. We used to run across those fields all day, calling up atthe sky. Look at us now. [DOCTOR] All that eloquence. But how many people have you killed? [MASTER] I am so hungry. [DOCTOR] Your resurrection went wrong. That energy. Your body's rippedopen. Now you're killing yourself. [MASTER] That human Christmas out there. They eat so much. All thatroasting meat, cakes and red wine. Hot, fat, blood, food. Pots, platesof meat, and flesh, and grease, and juice, and baking, burnt, stickyhot skin. Hot. It's so hot. [DOCTOR] Stop it. [MASTER] Sliced. Sliced. Sliced. [DOCTOR] Stop it. [MASTER] It's mine. It's mine. It's mine to eat and eat and eat. [DOCTOR] Stop it. What if I ask you for help? There's more at worktonight than you and me. [MASTER] Oh yeah? [DOCTOR] I've been told something is returning. [MASTER] And here I am. [DOCTOR] No, something more. [MASTER] But it hurts. [DOCTOR] I was told the end of time. [MASTER] It hurts. Doctor, the noise. The noise in my head, Doctor. One,two, three, four. One, two, three, four. Stronger than ever before.Can't you hear it? [DOCTOR] I'm sorry. [MASTER] Listen, listen, listen, listen. Every minute, every second,every beat of my hearts, there it is, calling to me. Please listen. [DOCTOR] I can't hear it. [MASTER] Listen. [MASTER] What? [DOCTOR] But [MASTER] What! [DOCTOR] I heard it. But there's no noise. There never has been. It'sjust your insanity. What is it? What's inside your head? [MASTER] It's real. It's real. It's real! --------------------------------------- (Derelict site) [MASTER] All these years, you thought I was mad.King of the wasteland. But something is calling me, Doctor. What is it?What is it? What is it? [DOCTOR] Don't! [DOCTOR] Let him go! --------------------------------------- (Nobles' home) [DONNA] Now then, steady on. It's never too early for margaritas, that'swhat I say. I forgot to get lemons so I used oranges instead. It's allfruit, same difference. [SYLVIA] Oh, now that's lovely. Look at that. Absolutely beautiful. Lovefrom Donna. Did you keep the receipt? [DONNA] Yes, I did. Come on, Gramps. You've been a right misery eversince you got up. Do you like it then, the book? [WILF] Joshua Naismith? I mean, what'd you get me this for? [DONNA] I don't know. I just saw it in the shop and thought of you. Itjust felt like the sort of thing you should have. [SYLVIA] Oh, now look at that. That's from Charlie Morton. Isn't thatrude? --------------------------------------- (Gate room) [NAISMITH] If you would, Mister Danes. [MASTER] I'm starving. [NAISMITH] You've my daughter to thank for this. It's all her idea. Sheheard rumours of Harold Saxon, his disciples, his return. It's the sortof thing she finds rather thrilling. [ABIGAIL] And I was right. He's back. The very man we need, and he'shere. Oh, this is going to be wonderful. --------------------------------------- (Nobles' home) [SHAUN] Aye, aye. Here are the presents. I'm sorry,I couldn't afford much, but not for long, if President Obama ends therecession tonight. Come here. [WILF] Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Keep it quiet, you lot, It's theQueen's Speech. Now come on, sit down. Show respect. Come on. [SHAUN] Merry Christmas, Mister Mott. [WILF] Thank you. Will you behave! You, honestly. All right now. Whoa,she's on, she's on. It's our sovereign. [WILF] Eh? [WOMAN [on TV]] Events are moving, Wilfred. [WILF] Eh? [WOMAN [on TV]] Faster than we thought. [WILF] Oi, can you see that? [DONNA] Frankly, I'd tell Her Majesty it's time for trouser suits. [WILF] No, no, no, no. That's not the [WOMAN [on TV]] Only you can see. Only you stand at the heart ofcoincidence. [WILF] Why, what have I done? [WOMAN [on TV]] You're an old soldier, sir. Only you were too late. Thewar was won and passed you by. [WILF] I did my duty. [WOMAN [on TV]] You never killed a man. [WILF] No, I didn't. No, I did not, no, but, don't say that like it'sshameful. [WOMAN [on TV]] The time will come when you must take arms. [WILF] Who are you? [WOMAN [on TV]] Tell the Doctor nothing of this. His life could still besaved, so long as you tell him nothing. --------------------------------------- (Outside the Nobles' home) [DOCTOR] I lost him. I was unconscious. He's stillon Earth, I can smell him, but he's too far away. [WILF] Listen, you can't park there. What if Donna sees it? [DOCTOR] You're the only one, Wilf. The only connection I can think of.You're involved, if I could work out how. Tell me, have you seenanything? I don't know. Anything strange, anything odd? [WILF] Well, there was a [DOCTOR] What? What is it? Tell me. [WILF] Well, it was. No, it's nothing. [DOCTOR] Think-a think-a think. Maybe something out of the blue.Something connected to your life. Something. [WILF] Well, Donna was a bit strange. She had a funny little moment,this morning, all because of that book. [DOCTOR] What book? [WILF] His name's Joshua Naismith. [DOCTOR] That's the man. I was shown him by the Ood. [WILF] By the what? [DOCTOR] By the Ood. [WILF] What's the Ood? [DOCTOR] They're just the Ood. But it's all part of the convergence.Maybe? It may be touching Donna's subconscious. Oh, she's stillfighting for us, even now. The Doctor Donna. [SYLVIA] Dad, what are you up to? You. But. Get out of here. [DOCTOR] Merry Christmas. [SYLVIA] Merry Christmas. But she can't see you. What if she remembers? [DONNA [OC]] Mum, where are those tweezers? [SYLVIA] Go. [DOCTOR] I'm going. [WILF] Yeah, me too. [SYLVIA] Oh no, you don't. [DONNA ] (at the back of the house) Mum? Gramps? [SYLVIA] Dad, I'm warning you. [WILF] Bye, see you later. [DONNA] (at the back of the house) Bit old for hide and seek. [SYLVIA] Stay right where you are. [DOCTOR] You can't come with me. [WILF] You're not leaving me with her. [SYLVIA] Dad! [DOCTOR] Fair enough. [DONNA [OC]] Mum? [SYLVIA] Just you listen to me. I forbid it. Get out of there! [SYLVIA] Doctor, bring my father back right now! Come back here! Comeback here, I said! Come back! [DONNA] Are you shouting at thin air? [SYLVIA] Yes. Possibly, yes. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] Naismith. If I can track him down. Ah.Right. Yes. Bigger on the inside. Do you like it? [WILF] I thought it'd be cleaner. [DOCTOR] Cleaner? I could take you back home right now. [WILF] Listen, Doctor, if this is a time machine, that man you'rechasing, why can't you just pop back to yesterday and catch him? [DOCTOR] I cant go back inside my own timeline. I have to stay relativeto the Master within the causal nexus. Understand? [WILF] Not a word. [DOCTOR] Welcome aboard. [WILF] Thank you. --------------------------------------- (Gate room) [NAISMITH] Demonstrate. [MASTER] Oh, that's not from Earth. [NAISMITH] And neither are you. A perfect combination, don't you think? [ROSSITER] Er, excuse me, sir. If I could check the basement? We'regetting fluctuation on the power cords. [NAISMITH] Of course. [ROSSITER] Miss Addams, if you could bring the calibration statistics. --------------------------------------- (Basement) [ROSSITER] Who the hell is he? What if he finds out?An expert, they said. Well, what sort of expert? Who is he? [ADDAMS] I don't know. According to the records, Harold Saxon was PrimeMinister of this stupid country. I am choking in this thing. I'm sorry. [ADDAMS] Oh, by the saint's, that's better. Oh, these people are soflat. [ROSSITER] But what do we do? We were so close. We almost had itworking. [ADDAMS] What if this visitor is some sort of genius? Well, think aboutit. We're hijacking this project. Maybe we can use him too? HaroldSaxon, or whatever he is, might be exactly what we need. --------------------------------------- (Gate room) [NAISMITH] The Gate was found inside a spaceshipburied at the foot of Mount Snowdon. It was moved to an institute knownas Torchwood, but when Torchwood fell, let's just say I acquired it. [MASTER] I like you. [NAISMITH] Thank you. [MASTER] You'd taste great. [NAISMITH] Mister Danes? [DANES] The visitor will be given food. [NAISMITH] Anyway, the device came equipped with it's own power supply.A Nuclear Bolt. One technician remains in charge of the feedback twentyfour hours a day, and the power feeds through to the Gate, where itencourages some sort of cellular regeneration. Miss Collins was ourtest subject. She carried some burns as a result of an accident whenshe was a child, down her left side. If you could? [NAISMITH] The Gate mended her. Thank you. [MASTER] But what do you want it for? [NAISMITH] We calculate that if this device can be fully repaired by your goodself, it can restore the body forever. Hence it's given title. TheImmortality Gate. Because that's what I want. Not for me, but for mydaughter. I want her never to die. My gift to her. She will beimmortal. [ABIGAIL] Abigail. It means bringer of joy. [MASTER] Better get to work. --------------------------------------- (Stables) [WILF] We've moved. We've really moved! [DOCTOR] You should stay here. [WILF] Not bloody likely. [DOCTOR] And don't swear. Hold on. [DOCTOR] Just a second out of sync. Don't want the Master finding theTardis. That's the last thing we need. --------------------------------------- (Mansion grounds) [WILF] That book said he's a billionaire. He's got his own private army. [DOCTOR] Down here. --------------------------------------- (Gate room) [ROSSITER] Miss Addams, we're getting encouraging results from theratio-foldback. Can you confirm? --------------------------------------- (Basement) [ADDAMS] (also human) The man's a miracle. All thesystems are slotting back into place. --------------------------------------- (Gate room) [ADDAMS [OC]] The shatterthreads have harmonised,the fibre links intensified --------------------------------------- (Basement) [ADDAMS] And the multiple overshots havetriplicated. [DOCTOR] Nice Gate. [WILF] Hello. Sorry. [DOCTOR] Don't try calling security, or I'll tell them you're wearing aShimmer. Because I reckon anyone wearing a Shimmerdoesn't want the Shimmer to be noticed, or they wouldn't need a Shimmerin the first place. [ADDAMS] I'm sorry? What's a Shimmer? [DOCTOR] Shimmer. [WILF] Oh, my Lord. She's a cactus. [ROSSITER [OC]] Miss Addams? --------------------------------------- (Gate room) [ROSSITER] Miss Addams? If you'll just excuse me. [NAISMITH] Now, please don't imagine I'm a slave-driver. We can resumework on Boxing Day, Mister Saxon. [MASTER] My name is the Master. [NAISMITH] Oh, excellent. Excellent! Mister Danes? [DANES] The visitor will be restrained. [MASTER] What? But I repaired it. [NAISMITH] I'm not an idiot. Don't let him anywhere near that thing. --------------------------------------- (Basement) [DOCTOR] He's got it working, but what is it? What'sworking? [ROSSITER] What are you doing here? [DOCTOR] Shimmer! [DOCTOR] Now, tell me quickly, what's going on? The Master, HaroldSaxon, Skeletor, whatever you're calling him, what's he doing up there? --------------------------------------- (Gate room) [NAISMITH] Your reputation precedes you, sir. I have no doubt you'velaid traps. Perhaps explosives. A means of escape, or murder. Buteverything you've done to the Gate will be checked and double-checkedbefore anyone stands inside. --------------------------------------- (Basement) [ROSSITER] But I checked the readings. He's donegood work. It's operational. [DOCTOR] Who are you, though? 'Cause I met someone like you. He was brilliant,but he was little and red. [ADDAMS] No, that's a Zocci. [ROSSITER] We're not Zocci, we're Vinvocci. Completely different. [ADDAMS] And the Gate is Vinvocci. We're a salvage team. We picked upthe signal when the humans reactivated it. And as soon as it's working,we can transport it to the ship. [DOCTOR] But what does it do? [ROSSITER] Well, it mends. It's a simple as that. It's a medical deviceto repair the body. It makes people better. [DOCTOR] No, there's got to be more. Every single warning says theMaster's going to do something colossal. [WILF] So that thing's like a sickbed, yes? [ADDAMS] More or less. [WILF] Well, pardon me for asking, but why is it so big? [DOCTOR] Oh, good question. Why's it so big? [ADDAMS] It doesn't just mend one person at a time. [ROSSITER] That would be ridiculous. [ADDAMS] It mends whole planets. [DOCTOR] It does what? [ADDAMS] It transmits the medical template across the entire population. --------------------------------------- (Gate room) [NAISMITH] But it's time for the broadcast. ThePresident's grand initiative. You might want to see this, sir. Proofthat the human race can mend it's own problems. [AMN News [on TV]] And now, anticipation is rising as we go live toWashington. Here, on Christmas Day, the President has promised aninstant and radical solution to the worldwide depression. Barack Obamawill lead us all into a new age of prosperity. --------------------------------------- (White House press room) [SPOKESWOMAN [OC]] Ladies and gentlemen, thePresident of the United States. [OBAMA] Id like to speak briefly about the state of our economy --------------------------------------- (Gate room) [DOCTOR] Turn the Gate off right now! [DANES] At arms! [DOCTOR] No, no, no, no, no. Whatever you do, just don't let him nearthat device. [MASTER] Oh, like that was ever going to happen. [MASTER] Homeless, was I? Destitute and dying? Well, look at me now. [DOCTOR] Deactivate it. All of you, turn the whole thing off! [MASTER] Bwahahahahahaha! [NAISMITH] He's inside my head. [DOCTOR] Get out of there! [WILF] Doctor! Doctor, there's, there's this face. [DOCTOR] What is it? What can you see? [WILF] Well, it's him. I can see him. [AMN News [on TV]] There's something wrong. It seems to be affecting thePresident. [DOCTOR] I can't turn it off. [MASTER] That's because I locked it, idiot. [DOCTOR] Wilfred! Get inside. Get him out. [DOCTOR] Just need to filter the levels. [WILF] Oh, I can see again! He's gone. [DOCTOR] Radiation shielding. Now press the button. Let me out. [WILF] You what? [DOCTOR] I can't get out until you press the button. That button there. [MASTER] Fifty seconds and counting. [DOCTOR] To what? [MASTER] Oh, you're going to love this. --------------------------------------- (Basement) [ROSSITER] He was hiding the codes. He'sextrapolated the Gate's power a million times over. [ADDAMS] But it's not affecting us. [ROSSITER] He's set the template for human! --------------------------------------- (Gate room) [WILF] Hello? Oh, Gawd. Donna? [DONNA [OC]] Where are you? --------------------------------------- (Nobles' home) [DONNA] It's Mum and Shaun. Something's wrong withthem. [SYLVIA] There's this face. [WILF [OC]] But wait a minute. I mean, what about you? --------------------------------------- (Gate room) [WILF] Can't you see anything? --------------------------------------- (Nobles' home) [DONNA] I can see them. --------------------------------------- (Gate room) [DONNA [OC]] That's bad enough. [WILF] Not now, Winston. [WINSTON [OC]] Wilfred. --------------------------------------- (Outside flats) [WINSTON] Those dreams. I can remember that face. [YOUNG MAN] There's a face in my head. [WINSTON] Wilfred, it's everyone! --------------------------------------- (Gate room) [DOCTOR] What is it, hypnotism? Mind control. You'regrafting your thoughts inside them, is that it? [MASTER] Oh, that's way too easy. No, no, no. They're not going to thinklike me, they'regoing to become me. And, zero! [DOCTOR] You can't have. [WILF] What is it? --------------------------------------- (Nobles' home) [DONNA] But they've changed. [DONNA] Granddad, that's like, like the sort of thing that happenedbefore. [DONNA] My head. Oh, my head! Oh, my head! --------------------------------------- (Gate room) [WILF] Doctor? She's starting to remember. [WILF] What is it? What have you done, you monster? [MASTER] Oh, I'm sorry, are you talking to me? [NAISMITH-MASTER] Or to me? [ABIGAIL-MASTER] Or to me? [DANES-MASTER] Or to me? [SECURITY-MASTER] Or to us? [AMN NEWS-MASTER [on TV]] Breaking news. I'm everyone. And everyone inthe world is me! --------------------------------------- (White House press room) [OBAMA-MASTER] I'm President. President of theUnited States. Look at me! [OBAMA-MASTER] Ooo, financial solution. Deleted. Ha ha! --------------------------------------- (Gate room) [MASTER] The human race was always your favourite,Doctor. But now, there is no human race. There is only the Master race.Bwahahahahahaha! [NARRATOR [OC]] And so it came to pass, on Christmas Day, that the humanrace did cease to exist. But even then, the Master had no concept ofhis greater role in events. For this was far more than humanity's end. --------------------------------------- (Citadel) [NARRATOR] This day was the day upon which the wholeof creation would change forever. This was the day the Time Lordsreturned. For Gallifrey. [TIME LORDS] For Gallifrey! [NARRATOR] For victory! [TIME LORDS] For victory! [NARRATOR] For the end of time itself! [TIME LORDS] For the end of time itself!

Doctor Who (1 Jan, 2010; Tenth Doctor) - The End of Time, part two [RASSILON] What news of the Doctor? [CHANCELLOR] Disappeared, my Lord President. [PARTISAN] (a woman) But we know his intention. He still possesses theMoment, and he'll use it to destroy Daleks and Time Lords alike. [CHANCELLOR] The Visionary confirms it. [VISIONARY] Ending, burning, falling. All of it falling. The black andpitch and screaming fire, so burning. [CHANCELLOR] All of her prophecies say the same. That this is the lastday of the Time War. That Gallifrey falls. That we die, today. [VISIONARY] Ending. Ending. Ending. Ending! [PARTISAN] Perhaps it's time. This is only the furthest edge of the TimeWar. But at its heart, millions die every second, lost in bloodlust andinsanity. With time itself resurrecting them, to find new ways of dyingover and over again. A travesty of life. Isn't it better to end it, atlast? [RASSILON] Thank you for your opinion. [RASSILON] I will not die! Do you hear me? A billion years of Time Lordhistory riding on our backs. I will not let this perish. I will not! [CHANCELLOR] There is, er, there is one part of the prophecy, my Lord. [CHANCELLOR] Forgive me, I'm sorry. It's rather difficult to decipher,but it talks of two survivors beyond the Final Day. Two children ofGallifrey. [RASSILON] Does it name them? [CHANCELLOR] It foresees them locked in their final confrontation, TheEnmity of Ages, which would suggest [RASSILON] The Doctor! And the Master. [CHANCELLOR] One word keeps being repeated, my Lord. One constant word.Earth. [VISIONARY] Earth. Earth. Earth. Earth. Earth. Earth. [CHANCELLOR] Planet Earth. Indigenous species, the human race. [VISIONARY] Earth. Earth. Earth. [RASSILON] Maybe that's where the answer lies. Our salvation. On Earth. --------------------------------------- (Naismith's study) [MASTER] Now then, I've got a planet to run. Is everybody ready? [NAISMITH-MASTER [on screen]] Six billion, seven hundred and twentyseven million, nine hundred and --------------------------------------- (Gate room) [NAISMITH-MASTER] Forty nine thousand three hundredand thirty eight versions of us --------------------------------------- (Naismith's study) [NAISMITH-MASTER [on screen]] Awaiting orders. [OBAMA-MASTER [on screen]] This is Washington. As President of theUnited States, I can transfer all the United Nations protocols to youimmediately, putting you in charge of all the Earth'sdefences. [GENERAL-MASTER [on screen]] UNIT HQ, Geneva reporting. All under yourcommand, sir. [CHINESE-MASTER [on screen]] And this is the Central Military Commissionhere in Beijing, sir, with over two point five million soldiers, sir.Present arms! [MASTER] Enough soldiers and weapons to turn this planet into a warship.Nothing to say, Doctor? What's that? Pardon? Sorry? [WILF] You let him go, you swine. [MASTER] Oh, your dad's still kicking up a fuss. [WILF] Yeah? Well, I'd be proud if I was. [MASTER] Hush, now. Listen to your Master. [MASTER] But that's a mobile. [WILF] Yeah, it's mine. Let me turn it off. [MASTER] No, no, no, no, no. I don't think you understand. Everybody onthis planet is me. And I'm not phoning you, so who the hell is that? [WILF] It's nobody. I tell you, it's nothing. It's probably one of themring-back calls. [MASTER] Ooo, and look at this. Good man! [MASTER] Donna. Who's Donna? [WILF] She's no one. Just leave it. [DONNA [OC]] Gramps, don't hang up. You've got to help me. --------------------------------------- (Alleyway) [DONNA] I ran out, but everyone was changing. --------------------------------------- (Naismith's study) [MASTER] Who is she? Why didn't she change? [DONNA [OC]] Gramps, I can't hear you. [WILF] Well, it was this thing the Doctor did. He did it to her. TheMetacrisis. [MASTER] Oh, he loves playing with Earth girls. Ugh! [DONNA [OC]] Are you there? --------------------------------------- (Gate room) [MASTER [on screen]] Find her. Trace the call. [NAISMITH-MASTER] Trace the call. --------------------------------------- (Naismith's study) [DONNA [OC]] Are you still there? Can you hear me? [MASTER] Say goodbye to the freak, Granddad. [WILF] Donna, get out of there! Just get out of there. I'm telling you,run! --------------------------------------- (Gate room) [NAISMITH-MASTER] She's on Wessex Lane, Chiswick.Open the phone lines. Everyone on Wessex Lane. Red alert. [DONNA [OC]] What do I do? [WILF] Run, sweetheart, that's all. Run for your life! --------------------------------------- (Alleyway) [DONNA] There's more of them. [WILF [OC]] Donna? What's happening? Are you still there? [DONNA] They're everywhere. [CHISWICK-MASTER] Oh, I'm starving. [WILF [OC]] Look, I'm telling you to run, Donna. [CHISWICK-MASTER 2] I'm still hungry. --------------------------------------- (Naismith's study) [WILF] Just run, sweetheart. --------------------------------------- (Alleyway) [WILF [OC]] Just run. [DONNA] It's not just them. I can see those things again. Thosecreatures. Why can I see a giant wasp? --------------------------------------- (Naismith's study) [WILF] Donna, don't think about that. Donna, my love --------------------------------------- (Alleyway) [WILF [OC]] Don't! [DONNA] And it hurts. My head. It keeps getting hotter, and hotter, andhotter, and hotter, and hotter! [DONNA] What did I --------------------------------------- (Naismith's study) [WILF] Donna? What was that? Donna? Donna, are youthere? Donna.! Donna! Donna! [DOCTOR] That's better. Hello. But really, did you think I'd leave mybest friend without a defence mechanism? [WILF] Doctor? What happened? [DOCTOR] She's all right. She's fine, I promise. She'll just sleep. [MASTER] Tell me, where's your Tardis? [DOCTOR] You could be so wonderful. [MASTER] Where is it? [DOCTOR] You're a genius. You're stone cold brilliant, you are. I swear,you really are. But you could be so much more. You could be beautiful.With a mind like that, we could travel the stars. It would be myhonour. Because you don't need to own the universe, just see it. Tohave the privilege of seeing the whole of time and space. That'sownership enough. [MASTER] Would it stop, then? The noise in my head? [DOCTOR] I can help. [MASTER] I don't know what I'd be without that noise. [DOCTOR] I wonder what I'd be, without you. [MASTER] Yeah. [WILF] What does he mean? What noise? [MASTER] It began on Gallifrey, as children. Not that you'd call itchildhood. More a life of duty. Eight years old. I was taken forinitiation, to stare into the Untempered Schism. [WILF] What does that mean? [DOCTOR] It's a gap in the fabric of reality. You can see into the TimeVortex itself. And it hurts. [MASTER] They took me there in the dark. I looked into time, old man,and I heard it calling to me. Drums. The never ending drums. --------------------------------------- (Black void) [RASSILON] The Untempered Schism. That's when itbegan. [CHANCELLOR] History says the Master heard a rhythm. A torment thatstayed with him for the rest of his life. [RASSILON] A drumbeat. A warrior's march. [CHANCELLOR] A symptom of insanity, my Lord. [RASSILON] A rhythm of four. The heartbeat of a Time Lord. --------------------------------------- (Naismith's study) [MASTER] Listen to it. Listen. [DOCTOR] Then let's find it. You and me. [MASTER] Except. Oh. Oh, wait a minute. Oh, yes. Oh, that's good. [DOCTOR] What? What is? [MASTER] The noise exists within my head, and now within six billionheads. Everyone on Earth can hear it. Imagine. Oh. Oh, yes. [DOCTOR] The Gate wasn't enough. You're still dying. [MASTER] This body was born out of death. All it can do is die. But whatdid you say to me, back in the wasteland? You said the end of time. [DOCTOR] I said something is returning. I was shown a prophecy. That'swhy I need your help. [MASTER] What if I'm part of it? Don't you see? The drumbeat is callingfrom so far away. From the end of time itself. And now it's beenamplified six billion times. Triangulate all those signals. I couldfind its source. Oh, Doctor. That's what your prophecy was. Me! [MASTER] Where's the Tardis? [DOCTOR] No. Just stop. Just think. [MASTER] (to guard) Kill him. [MASTER] I need that technology, Doctor. Tell me where it is, or the oldman is dead. [WILF] Don't tell him. [MASTER] I'll kill him right now! [DOCTOR] Actually, the most impressive thing about you is that after allthis time, you're still bone dead stupid. [MASTER] Take aim. [DOCTOR] You've got six billion pairs of eyes, but you still can't seethe obvious, can you? [MASTER] Like what? [DOCTOR] That guard is one inch too tall. [ROSSITER] Oh my God, I hit him. I've never hit anyone in my life. [ADDAMS] Well, come on. We need to get out of here fast. [WILF] God bless the cactuses! [DOCTOR] That's cacti. [ROSSITER] That's racist! --------------------------------------- (Gate room) [NAISMITH-MASTER] This prophecy of yours, Doctor,where did it come from? Doctor? --------------------------------------- (Naismith's study) [ADDAMS] Come on! We've got to get out. [ROSSITER] There's too many buckles and straps. [ADDAMS] Just wheel him. [DOCTOR] No, no, no. Get me out. No, no, no, don't. Don't! No, no, no. --------------------------------------- (Gate room) [NAISMITH-MASTER] What's going on? Doctor! --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [ROSSITER] Which way? [ADDAMS] This way. [DOCTOR] No, no, no, no, no. The other way. I've got my Tardis. [ADDAMS] I know what I'm doing. [DOCTOR] No, no, no, just just listen to me! --------------------------------------- (Naismith's study) [MASTER] Find him. Find him! --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [DOCTOR] Not the stairs. Not the stairs! --------------------------------------- (Basement corridor) [DOCTOR] Worst rescue ever! --------------------------------------- (Gate room) [GUARD-MASTER [OC]] Underneath the Gate room, sir. [NAISMITH-MASTER] Basement. Get him. [GUARD-MASTERS] Yes, sir. --------------------------------------- (Basement) [DOCTOR] Just, just stop and listen to me! [MASTER] Gotcha. [ADDAMS] You think so? [DOCTOR] No, no, no, no, don't! --------------------------------------- (Teleport room) [DOCTOR] Now get me out of this thing! [ADDAMS] Don't say thanks, will you. [DOCTOR] He's not going to let us go. Just hurry up and get me out! [WILF] Oh, my goodness me. We're in space! [DOCTOR] Come on. [ADDAMS] All right! [DOCTOR] Oh, get a move on. --------------------------------------- (Basement) [NAISMITH-MASTER [OC]] Open the teleport and follow him! --------------------------------------- (Teleport room) [DOCTOR] Come on! [ADDAMS] All right. --------------------------------------- (Gate room) [MASTER] He's still up there. Target practice. --------------------------------------- (Teleport room) [DOCTOR] Where's your flight deck? [ADDAMS] But we're safe. We're a hundred thousand miles above the Earth. [DOCTOR] And he's got every single missile on the planet ready to fire. [ADDAMS] Good point. [WILF] But we're in space! [DOCTOR] Yep. --------------------------------------- (Gate room) [MASTER] Turn everything you've got to the skies.Find me that ship. And prime the missiles. --------------------------------------- (UNIT HQ Geneva) [GENERAL-MASTER] Open up the radar. Maximum scan. [OPERATIVE-MASTERS] Yes, sir. --------------------------------------- (Flight deck) [DOCTOR] We've got to close it down! [ROSSITER] No chance, mate. We're going home. [ADDAMS] We're just a salvage team. Local politics has got nothing to dowith us. Not unless there's a carnival. Sooner we get back to Vinvoccispace the better. [DOCTOR] We're not leaving. --------------------------------------- (UNIT HQ Geneva) [GENERAL-MASTER] Anything? --------------------------------------- (Flight deck) [DOCTOR] Shush, shush, shush, shush, shush, shush. --------------------------------------- (UNIT HQ Geneva) [OPERATIVE-MASTER] I'm sorry, sir. Nothing. --------------------------------------- (Gate room) [GENERAL-MASTER [on screen]] Lost him. [MASTER] What about teleport coordinates? --------------------------------------- (Basement) [MASTER [OC]] I need that information. [GUARD-MASTER] He's cut the link, sir. --------------------------------------- (Gate room) [GUARD-MASTER [OC]] No trace. All dead. --------------------------------------- (Basement) [GUARD-MASTER] Still, open fire! [GUARD-MASTER] No way back now. He's stranded. --------------------------------------- (Flight deck) [ADDAMS] No sign of any missiles. No sign ofanything. You've wrecked the place! [ROSSITER] The engines are burnt out. All we've got is auxiliary lights.Everything else is kaput. We can't move. We're stuck in orbit. [ADDAMS] Thanks to you, you idiot! [WILF] I know you, though. I bet you've got a plan, haven't you? Eh?Come on. You've always got a trick up your sleeve. Nice little bit ofthe old Doctor flim-flam, (Tommy Cooper impression) sort of thing? Eh?Oh, blimey. --------------------------------------- (Gate room) [MASTER] Night has fallen. Are we ready? --------------------------------------- (Naismith's study) [NAISMITH-MASTER] Every single one of us isprepared. --------------------------------------- (Gate room) [MASTER] Then we listen. All of us, across theworld, just listen. [MASTER] Concentrate. Find the signal. There! The sound is tangible.Someone could only have designed this. But who? --------------------------------------- (Black void) [CHANCELLOR] The signal has been sent. A simple taskof four beats transmitted back through time, and implanted in theMaster's mind as a child. [RASSILON] Then we have a link to where the Master is right now. [CHANCELLOR] But we're still trapped inside the Timelock, sir. The linkis nothing more than a thought, an idea. [RASSILON] Then we need something to make the contact physical.Something so simple. [VISIONARY] So small and shining. Shining bright and cold. The tiny,tiny star, falling, falling, burning, burning, burning. [RASSILON] Small enough to follow the link. And if this were on Earth. --------------------------------------- (Naismith's study) [NAISMITH-MASTER] The sound. It's coming from above. --------------------------------------- (Gate room) [MASTER] It's coming from the sky! --------------------------------------- (Terrace) [MASTER] There! Find it. Get out there and find it! [GUARDS] Yes, sir. --------------------------------------- (Field) [GUARD-MASTER] It's a diamond, sir. Oh. The most impossible diamond. Youwon't believe this. --------------------------------------- (Gate room) [GUARD-MASTER [OC]] It's a Whitepoint star. --------------------------------------- (Spaceship corridor) [WILF] Doctor? Hello? Hello? Is that you? Doctor?Anyone? Anyone? Oh, I think I'm lost. [WOMAN] And yet you are found. Events are closing. The day is almostupon us. But tell me, old soldier. Did you take arms? [WILF] I brought this. But what am I supposed to do? [WOMAN] This is the Doctor's final battle. At the end of his life, hemust stand at arms, or lose himself and all this world, to the End ofTime. [WILF] But he never carries guns. He doesn't do. Who are you? [WOMAN] I was lost, so very long ago. --------------------------------------- (Teleport room) [WILF] Aye, aye. Got this old tub mended? [DOCTOR] Just trying to fix the heating. [WILF] Oh. I've always dreamt of a view like that. Hee, hee. I'm anastronaut. It's dawn over England, look. Brand new day. My wife'sburied down there. I might never visit her again now. Do you think hechanged them, in their graves? [DOCTOR] I'm sorry. [WILF] No, not your fault. [DOCTOR] Isn't it? [WILF] Oh, 1948, I was over there. End of the Mandate in Palestine.Private Mott. Skinny little idiot, I was. Stood on this rooftop, in themiddle of a skirmish. It was like a blizzard, all them bullets in theair. The world gone mad. Yeah, you don't want to listen to an old man'stales, do you? [DOCTOR] I'm older than you. [WILF] Get away. [DOCTOR] I'm nine hundred and six. [WILF] What, really, though? [DOCTOR] Yeah. [WILF] Nine hundred years. We must look like insects to you. [DOCTOR] I think you look like giants. [WILF] Listen, I, I want you to have this. I've kept it all this time,and I thought [DOCTOR] No. [WILF] No, but if you take it, you could [DOCTOR] No. You had that gun in the mansion. You could have shot theMaster there and then. [WILF] Too scared, I suppose. [DOCTOR] I'd be proud. [WILF] Of what? [DOCTOR] If you were my dad. [WILF] Oh, come on, don't start. But you said, you were told he willknock four times and then you die. Well, that's him, isn't it? TheMaster. That noise in his head? The Master is going to kill you. [DOCTOR] Yeah. [WILF] Then kill him first. [DOCTOR] And that's how the Master started. It's not like I'm aninnocent. I've taken lives. I got worse. I got clever. Manipulatedpeople into taking their own. Sometimes I think a Time Lord lives toolong. I can't. I just can't. [WILF] If the Master dies, what happens to all the people? [DOCTOR] I don't know. [WILF] Doctor, what happens? [DOCTOR] The template snaps. [WILF] What, they go back to being human? They're alive, and human. Thendon't you dare, sir. Don't you dare put him before them. Now you takethis. That's an order, Doctor. Take the gun. You take the gun and saveyour life. And please don't die. You're the most wonderful man and Idon't want you to die. [DOCTOR] Never. [MASTER [OC]] A star fell from the sky. --------------------------------------- (Gate room) [MASTER] Don't you want to know where from? --------------------------------------- (Flight deck) [MASTER [OC]] Because now it makes sense, Doctor. [ADDAMS] It's an open broadcast. Don't reply, or he'll know where weare. [MASTER [OC]] The whole of my life. --------------------------------------- (Teleport room) [MASTER [OC]] My destiny. The star was a diamond. --------------------------------------- (Gate room) [MASTER] And the diamond is a Whitepoint --------------------------------------- (Teleport room) [MASTER [OC]] Star. And I have worked all night tosanctify that gift. --------------------------------------- (Gate room) [MASTER] Now the star is mine. I can increase the signal and use it as alifeline. Do you get it now? Do you see? Keep watching, Doctor. Thisshould be spectacular. --------------------------------------- (Teleport room) [MASTER [OC]] Over and out. [WILF] What's he on about? What's he doing? Doctor, what does that mean? [DOCTOR] A Whitepoint star is only found on one planet. Gallifrey. Whichmeans it's the Time Lords. The Time Lords are returning. [WILF] Well, I mean, that's good, isn't it? I mean, that's your people. --------------------------------------- (Gate room) [MASTER] Open up the Nuclear Bolt. Infuse the powerlines to maximum. [TECHNICIAN-MASTER] Nuclear bolt accelerating, sir. [MASTER] Send the signal back and the link becomes a pathway. [MASTER] Come home. --------------------------------------- (Flight deck) [ADDAMS] What's that? [ROSSITER] Coming from Earth. It's on every single wavelength. --------------------------------------- (Black void) [RASSILON] Contact. At last. --------------------------------------- (Gate room) [MASTER] We have contact. --------------------------------------- (Citadel) [RASSILON] Now the High Council of Time Lords must vote. Whether we diehere, today, or return to the waking world and complete the UltimateSanction. For this is the hour when either Gallifrey falls, orGallifrey rises! [TIME LORDS] Gallifrey rises! [RASSILON] Gallifrey rises! --------------------------------------- (Flight deck) [WILF] But you said your people were dead. Past tense. [DOCTOR] Inside the Time War. And the whole War was Timelocked. Like,sealed inside a bubble. It's not a bubble but just think of a bubble.Nothing can get in or get out of the Timelock. Don't you see? Nothingcan get in or get out, except something that was already there. [WILF] The signal. Since he was a kid. [DOCTOR] If they can follow the signal, they can escape before they die. [WILF] Well, then, big reunion. We'll have a party. [DOCTOR] There will be no party. [WILF] But I've heard you talk about your people like they're wonderful. [DOCTOR] That's how I choose to remember them, the Time Lords of old.But then they went to war. An endless war, and it changed them right tothe core. You've seen my enemies, Wilf. The Time Lords are moredangerous than any of them. [ADDAMS] Time Lords, what lords? Anyone want to explain? [DOCTOR] Right, yes, you. This is a salvage ship, yes? You go trawlingthe asteroid fields for junk? [ADDAMS] Yeah, what about it? [DOCTOR] So, you've got asteroid lasers! [ROSSITER] Yeah, but they're all frazzled. [DOCTOR] Consider them unfrazzled. You there, what's your name? (Addams)I'm going to need you on navigation. (to Rossiter) And you, get in thelaser-pod. Wilfred. [WILF] Yeah? [DOCTOR] Laser number two. The old soldier's got one more battle. [ADDAMS] This ship can't move. It's dead! [DOCTOR] Fix the heating? [ADDAMS] But now they can see us. [DOCTOR] Oh, yes! --------------------------------------- (UNIT HQ Geneva) [GENERAL-MASTER] Sir, we've got a fix. Hundred andfive thousand miles in orbit. --------------------------------------- (Flight deck) [ADDAMS] This is my ship, and you're not moving it.Step away from the wheel. [DOCTOR] There's an old Earth saying, Captain. A phrase of great powerand wisdom, and consolation to the soul in times of need. [ADDAMS] What's that, then? [DOCTOR] Allons-y! --------------------------------------- (UNIT HQ Geneva) [OPERATIVE-MASTER] He's moving, sir. [GENERAL-MASTER] Get a fix on him. [OPERATIVE-MASTER] He's moving very fast. --------------------------------------- (Flight deck) [DOCTOR] Come on! Come on! [ADDAMS] You are blinking, flipping mad. [DOCTOR] You two. What did I say? Lasers. [ROSSITER] What for? [DOCTOR] Because of the missiles. We've got to fight off an entireplanet. --------------------------------------- (Gate room) [GENERAL-MASTER [on screen]] All NATO defencescoordinated, sir, awaiting your command. [MASTER] I don't need him. Any second now, I'll have Time Lords tospare. Take him out. Launch missiles! --------------------------------------- (UNIT HQ Geneva) [GENERAL-MASTER] Launch missiles. [OPERATIVE-MASTERS] Missiles launching in three, two one, zero. --------------------------------------- (Laser pods) [WILF] Hey! How does this thing work? [ROSSITER] The tracking's automatic. Just deploy the trigger on thejoystick. --------------------------------------- (Flight deck) [ADDAMS] We've got incoming. [ROSSITER] Look at this one! Oh, my God! [DOCTOR] You two, open fire! [ROSSITER] Oh, my word! [WILF] Whoa. Whoa! [ROSSITER] No, no, no, no, no! [DOCTOR] Open fire! Come on, Wilf! [WILF] Whoo! Oh, I wish Donna could see me now. --------------------------------------- (UNIT HQ Geneva) [GENERAL-MASTER] Second wave. Launch missiles. [OPERATIVE-MASTER] Yes, sir. --------------------------------------- (Flight deck) [ADDAMS] And there's more. Sixteen of them. Oh, andanother sixteen. [DOCTOR] Then get on the rear gun lasers! You two, open fire! Now! [ROSSITER] Yes! [DOCTOR] No, you don't! [WILF] Come on! [DOCTOR] Come on! Fire! [WILF] Whoa! Wow! [ROSSITER] Yes! [DOCTOR] Lock the navigation. [ADDAMS] Onto what? [DOCTOR] England. The Naismith mansion. --------------------------------------- (Gate room) [GENERAL-MASTER [on screen]] He's heading straightfor you. [MASTER] But too late. They are coming. --------------------------------------- (Black void) [RASSILON] The vote is taken. Only two stand against, and will stand asmonument to their shame, like the Weeping Angels of old. Now thevanguard stands prepared, as the children of Gallifrey return to theuniverse. To Earth.(He raises his staff and they vanish in a bright light. The Gate fillswith that light.) --------------------------------------- (Flight deck) [DOCTOR] Destination? [ADDAMS] Fifty kliks and closing. We've locked on to the house. We aregoing to stop, though. Doctor? We are going to stop? --------------------------------------- (Gate room) [MASTER] Closer! And closer! And closer! --------------------------------------- (Flight deck) [WILF] Doctor? Doctor, you said you were going todie. [ADDAMS] He said what? [WILF] But is that all of us? I won't stop you, sir. But is this it? --------------------------------------- (Gate room) [NAISMITH-MASTER] I think I should warn you [MASTER] Not now! [RASSILON] My Lord Doctor. My Lord Master. We are gathered for the end. --------------------------------------- (Flight deck) [WILF] Just turn it round. Land it! [ADDAMS] We are not going in there. [WILF] I am not leaving that man on his own. Not today. Land it! --------------------------------------- (Gate room) [DOCTOR] Listen to me. You can't! [RASSILON] It is a fitting paradox that our salvation comes at the handsof our most infamous child. [DOCTOR] Oh, he's not saving you. Don't you realise what he's doing? [MASTER] Hey, no, hey! That's mine. Hush. Look around you. I'vetransplanted myself into every single human being. But who wants amongrel little species like them, because now I can transplant myselfinto every single Time Lord. Oh, yes, Mister President, sir, standingthere all noble and resplendent and decrepit. Think how much betteryou're going to look as me. [MASTER] No, no, don't. No, no, stop it! No, no, no, don't! [RASSILON] On your knees, mankind. [MASTER] No, that's fine, that's good, because you said salvation. Istill saved you. Don't forget that. [RASSILON] The approach begins. [MASTER] Approach of what? [DOCTOR] Something is returning. Don't you ever listen? That was theprophecy. Not someone, something. [MASTER] What is it? [DOCTOR] They're not just bringing back the species. It's Gallifrey.Right here, right now. --------------------------------------- (Nobles' home) [SHAUN] Donna. Where's Donna? --------------------------------------- (Outside the Nobles' home) [SHAUN] Donna? Donna! Donna! [SYLVIA] Oh, Doctor. Please! --------------------------------------- (Flight deck) [ADDAMS] We're getting out of here. This wholeplanet's going to be knocked out of orbit. [ROSSITER] What about the Doctor? [ADDAMS] Well, he said he was dying. --------------------------------------- (Gate room) [MASTER] But, I did this. I get the credit. I'm on your side. [WILF] Come on, get out of the way. Get out of the way! Doctor? [TECHNICIAN] Help me, please. Somebody, please. [WILF] All right! I've got you, mate. I've got you. [DOCTOR] Wilf, don't. Don't! [WILF] I've got you. Come on. Go on. [MASTER] But this is fantastic, isn't it? The Time Lords restored. [DOCTOR] You weren't there in the final days of the War. You never sawwhat was born. But if the Timelock's broken, then everything's comingthrough. Not just the Daleks, but the Skaro Degradations, the Horde ofTravesties, the Nightmare Child, the Could-have-been King with his armyof Meanwhiles and Never-weres. The War turned into hell. And that'swhat you've opened, right above the Earth. Hell is descending. [MASTER] My kind of world. [DOCTOR] Just listen! Because even the Time Lords can't survive that. [RASSILON] We will initiate the Final Sanction. The end of time willcome at my hand. The rupture will continue until it rips the TimeVortex apart. [MASTER] That's suicide. [RASSILON] We will ascend to become creatures of consciousness alone.Free of these bodies, free of time, and cause and effect, whilecreation itself ceases to be. [DOCTOR] You see now? That's what they were planning in the final daysof the War. I had to stop them. [MASTER] Then, take me with you, Lord President. Let me ascend intoglory. [RASSILON] You are diseased, albeit a disease of our own making. Nomore. [RASSILON] Choose your enemy well. We are many. The Master is but one. [MASTER] But he's the President. Kill him, and Gallifrey could be yours. [MASTER] He's to blame, not me. Oh, the link is inside my head. Kill me,the link gets broken, they go back. You never would, you coward. Go onthen. Do it. [MASTER] Exactly. It's not just me, it's him. He's the link. Kill him! [RASSILON] The final act of your life is murder. But which one of us? [DOCTOR] Get out of the way. [DOCTOR] The link is broken. Back into the Time War, Rassilon. Back intohell. [VISIONARY [OC]] Gallifrey falling! Gallifrey falls! [RASSILON] You'll die with me, Doctor. [DOCTOR] I know. [MASTER] Get out of the way. [MASTER] You did this to me! All of my life! You made me! One! Two!Three! Four! [DOCTOR] I'm alive. I've. There was. I'm still alive. [WILF] They gone, then? Yeah, good-o. If you could let me out? [DOCTOR] Yeah. [WILF] Only, this thing seems to be making a bit of a noise. [DOCTOR] The Master left the Nuclear Bolt running. It's gone intooverload. [WILF] And that's bad, is it? [DOCTOR] No, because all the excess radiation gets vented inside there.Vinvocci glass contains it. All five hundred thousand rads, about toflood that thing. [WILF] Oh. Well, you'd better let me out, then. [DOCTOR] Except it's gone critical. Touch one control and it floods.Even this would set it off. [WILF] I'm sorry. [DOCTOR] Sure. [WILF] Look, just leave me. [DOCTOR] Okay, right then, I will. Because you had to go in there,didn't you? You had to go and get stuck, oh yes. Because that's who youare, Wilfred. You were always this. Waiting for me all this time. [WILF] No really, just leave me. I'm an old man, Doctor. I've had mytime. [DOCTOR] Well, exactly. Look at you. Not remotely important. But me? Icould do so much more. So much more! But this is what I get. My reward.And it's not fair! Oh. Oh. I've lived too long. [WILF] No. No, no, please, please don't. No, don't! Please don't!Please! [DOCTOR] Wilfred, it's my honour. Better be quick. Three, two, one. [WILF] What? Hello. [DOCTOR] Hi. [WILF] Still with us? [DOCTOR] The system's dead. I absorbed it all. Whole thing's kaput. Oh.Now it opens, yeah. [WILF] Well, there we are, then. Safe and sound. Mind you, you're inhell of a state. You've got some battle scars there. [WILF] But they've. Your face. How did you do that? [DOCTOR] It's started. --------------------------------------- (Nobles' home) [SHAUN] It's no good. She's freezing. How long was she lying there? It'slike hypothermia. Try them again. [SYLVIA] I did, it's engaged. Everyone's dialling 999. I can't getthrough. [SHAUN] We've got to do something. Wake her up. Donna? Can you hear me?Donna? [SHAUN] Donna? It's me. I'm here. You're safe. You're home. [DONNA] But I was. What happened? Did I miss something again? --------------------------------------- (Outside the Noble's home) [DOCTOR] Oh, she's smiling. As if today wasn't bad enough. Anyway, don'tgo thinking this is goodbye, Wilf. I'll see you again, one more time. [WILF] What do you mean? When's that? [DOCTOR] Just keep looking. I'll be there. [WILF] Where are you going? [DOCTOR] To get my reward. --------------------------------------- (Abandoned factory) [MICKEY] I told you to stay behind. [MARTHA] Well, you looked like you needed help. Besides, you're the onewho persuaded me to go freelance. [MICKEY] Yeah, but we're being fired at by a Sontaran. A dumpling with agun. And this is no place for a married woman. [MARTHA] Well then, You shouldn't have married me. [MICKEY] If we go in here and down to the factory floor, and down pastthat corridor, then he won't know that we're here. [MARTHA] Mickey. [MARTHA] Mickey. [MICKEY] Hey! --------------------------------------- (Bannerman Road) [LUKE] That was the maddest Christmas ever, Clive. Mum still doesn'tknow what happened. She got Mister Smith to put out this story sayingthatWi-Fi went mad all across the world, giving everyone hallucinations. Imean, how else do you explain it? Everyone with a different face [LUKE] But it's you! You're [LUKE] Mum! Mum! [SARAH] What? What is it? [LUKE] It's him. It's the Doctor. --------------------------------------- (Alien bar) [JUDOON] Cho no fro jo ko fo to do. [SINGER] I'm a country girl, I ain't see a lot, but you came along andmy heart went pop.You took a little street car to my heart [BARMAN] From the man over there. [SINGER] And an apple of love fell off my apple cart. You looked at me,my heart began to pound. You weren't the sort of guy I thought wouldstick around. [SINGER] Hey, but it don't have to be eternally. My bad, bad angel putthe Devil in me! You put the Devil in me. [SINGER] You lured me in with your cold grey eyes. [JACK] So, Alonso, going my way? [ALONSO] How do you know my name? [JACK] I'm kind of psychic. [ALONSO] Really? [JACK] Yeah. [ALONSO] Do you know what I'm thinking right now? [JACK] Oh, yeah. [SINGER] My bad, bad angel, you put the devil in me. --------------------------------------- (Bookshop) [VERITY] No, it's not just a story, no. Every wordof it's true. I found my great grandmother's diary in the loft, and shewas a nurse in 1913, and she fell in love with this man called JohnSmith. Except he was a visitor from another world. She fell in lovewith a man from the stars. And she wrote it all down. [MAN] Thank you. [VERITY] And who's it for? [DOCTOR] The Doctor. [VERITY] To the Doctor. Funny, that's the name he used. [DOCTOR] Was she happy in the end? [VERITY] Yes. Yes, she was. Were you? --------------------------------------- (Outside a church) [WILF] You look lovely. Come here. [WILF] Everybody, three cheers. Hip, hip [ALL] Hooray! [WILF] Hip, hip [ALL] Hooray! [WILF] Hip, hip [ALL] Hooray! [DONNA] Right, come on then, you lot. This photo is just with friends.Come on. And I want all of you in it. Come on.

[PHOTOGRAPHER] Okay, smile. [ALL] Cheese! [MINNIE] How about it, Wilfred? [WILF] Eh? [MINNIE] Well, it's never too late. [WILF] Will you behave, Minnie. Honestly. [MINNIE] I'm going to catch that bouquet. [WILF] Oh, dear. [SYLVIA] Dad. [WILF] And here you are, eh? Same old face. Didn't I tell you you'd beall right? Oh! They've arrested Mister Naismith. It was on the news.Crimes undisclosed. And his daughter. Both of them, locked up. But Ikeep thinking, Doctor, there's one thing you never told me. That woman.Who was she?

Doctor Who (12 Apr, 2008; Tenth Doctor) - The Fires of Pompeii (Street) [DOCTOR] Ancient Rome. Well, not for them, obviously. To all intents andpurposes, right now, this is brand new Rome. [DONNA] Oh, my God. it's, it's so Roman. This is fantastic. [DOCTOR] Ha, ha. [DONNA] I'm here, in Rome. Donna Noble in Rome. This is just weird. Imean, everyone here's dead. [DOCTOR] Well, don't tell them that. [DONNA] Hold on a minute. That sign over there's in English. [DONNA] Are you having me on? Are we in Epcot? [DOCTOR] No, no, no, no. That's the Tardis translation circuits. Justmakes it look like English. Speech as well. You're talking Latin rightnow. [DONNA] Seriously? [DOCTOR] Mmm. [DONNA] I just said seriously in Latin. [DOCTOR] Oh, yeah. [DONNA] What if I said something in actual Latin, like veni, vidi, vici?My dad said that when he came back from football. If I said veni, vidi,vici to that lot, what would it sound like? [DOCTOR] I'm not sure. You have to think of difficult questions, don'tyou? [DONNA] I'm going to try it. [STALLHOLDER] Afternoon, sweetheart. What can I get you, my love? [DONNA] Er, veni, vidi, vici. [STALLHOLDER] Huh? Sorry? Me no speak Celtic. No can do, missy. [DONNA] Yeah. [DONNA] How's he mean, Celtic? [DOCTOR] Welsh. You sound Welsh. There we are. Learnt something. [DONNA] Don't our clothes look a bit odd? [DOCTOR] Nah. Ancient Rome, anything goes. It's like Soho, but bigger. [DONNA] You've been here before then? [DOCTOR] Mmm. Ages ago. Before you ask, that fire had nothing to do withme. Well, a little bit. But I haven't got the chance to look aroundproperly. Coliseum, Pantheon, Circus Maximus. You'd expect them to belooming by now. Where is everything? Try this way. [DONNA] Not an expert, but there's seven hills of Rome, aren't there?How come they've only got one? [MAN] Here we go again. [DONNA] Wait a minute. One mountain, with smoke. Which makes this [DOCTOR] Pompeii. We're in Pompeii. And it's volcano day. --------------------------------------- (Temple) [SOOTHSAYER] I beg audience with the High Priestess of the Sibylline. [SPURRINA] [SOOTHSAYER] It has come, as foretold in the prophecy. The box. The bluebox. --------------------------------------- (Street) [DONNA] You're kidding. You're not telling me the Tardis has gone. [DOCTOR] Okay. [DONNA] Where is it then? [DOCTOR] You told me not to tell you. [DONNA] Oi. Don't get clever in Latin. [DOCTOR] Hold on. [DOCTOR] Excuse me. Excuse me. There was a box. Big blue box. Big bluewooden box, just over there. Where's it gone? [STALLHOLDER] Sold it, didn't I? [DOCTOR] But it wasn't yours to sell. [STALLHOLDER] It was on my patch, weren't it? I got fifteen sestercesfor it. Lovely jubbly. [DOCTOR] Who'd you sell it to? [STALLHOLDER] Old Caecilius. Look, if you want to argue, why don't youtake it out with him? He's on Foss Street. Big villa. Can't miss it. [DOCTOR] Thanks. [DOCTOR] What'd he buy a big blue wooden box for? --------------------------------------- (Villa) [CAECILIUS] Modern art. Out of the way, that's it. Oh, Rombus, I'm alittle bit peckish. Get me some ants in honey, there's a good lad. Ooo,maybe a dormouse? [CAECILIUS] What do you think? [METELLA] You call it modern art, I call it a blooming great waste ofspace. [CAECILIUS] We're going up in the world, my love. Lucius Dextrus himselfis coming to the house this afternoon. What with that and with ourEvelina about to be elevated. [EVELINA] Oh, don't go on about it, Dad. [METELLA] If we'd moved to Rome like I said she could've been a Vestalvirgin. [QUINTUS] Someone mention Vestal Virgins? [METELLA] Quintus, don't be so rude. You apologise to the HouseholdGods. [QUINTUS] Get off. [METELLA] Apologise right now. The Gods are always watching. [CAECILIUS] Positions! [METELLA] There, now you've made the heavens angry. Just say sorry. Itell you, Caecilius, that boy will do no good. [QUINTUS] Sorry, Household Gods. [CAECILIUS] So where were you last night? Down the thelopolium, I bet,cavorting with Etruscans and Christians and all sorts. How's your head,sunshine? How's your head! [QUINTUS] All right, Dad. Give us a break. [METELLA] You want to smarten yourself up, Quintus, before LuciusDextrus gets here. Look at your sister. She's giving us status. [QUINTUS] Oh yeah, because it's all about Evelina. [METELLA] She has the gift. [METELLA] Be proud of your sister for once. Have you been consuming? [EVELINA] Not this morning. [METELLA] Come on sweetheart, practise. It's hot today. The hypocaust ison full blast. [METELLA] The mountain God must be happy. Breathe deeply. Remember whatthe sisterhood said. [EVELINA] Oh, it hurts. [METELLA] Oh, my love, is it too hot? [EVELINA] Sometimes in the smoke I see the most terrible things. [METELLA] Like what? [EVELINA] A face. A face of stone. [METELLA] It'll make sense one day. Sister Spurrina promised. The veilwill be parted and you'll be a seer. [EVELINA] Who are you? --------------------------------------- (Street) [DOCTOR] Ha. I've got it. Foss Street's this way. [DONNA] No. Well, I found this big sort of amphitheatre thing. We canstart there. We can gather everyone together. Maybe they've got a greatbig bell or something we could ring. Have they invented bells yet? [DOCTOR] What do you want a bell for? [DONNA] To warn everyone. Start the evacuation. What time does Vesuviuserupt? When's it due? [DOCTOR] It's 79AD, twenty third of August, which makes volcano daytomorrow. [DONNA] Plenty of time. We could get everyone out easy. [DOCTOR] Yeah, except we're not going to. [DONNA] But that's what you do. You're the Doctor. You save people. [DOCTOR] Not this time. Pompeii is a fixed point in history. Whathappens, happens. There is no stopping it. [DONNA] Says who? [DOCTOR] Says me. [DONNA] What, and you're in charge? [DOCTOR] Tardis, Time Lord, yeah. [DONNA] Donna, human, no. I don't need your permission. I'll tell themmyself. [DOCTOR] You stand in the market place announcing the end of the world,they'll just think you're a mad old soothsayer. Now, come on. Tardis.We are getting out of here. [DONNA] Well, I might just have something to say about that, Spaceman. [DOCTOR] Oh, I bet you will. [SOOTHSAYER] The tall one, he calls us mad. --------------------------------------- (Temple) [SPURRINA] Then he is a stranger to Pompeii. Soon he will learn. [THALINA] We have found it, Sister Spurrina, in the thirteenth book ofthe SibyllineOracles. The blue box. A temple made of wood. And yet the Sybilforetold that the box would appear at the time of storms, and fire, andbetrayal. [HIGH PRIESTESS [OC]] Sisters. [SPURRINA] Reverend Mother, you should sleep. [HIGH PRIESTESS [OC]] The Sibylline Oracles are wrong. [SPURRINA] But we have venerated her words for generations. [HIGH PRIESTESS [OC]] This is a new age. Heed my words. I predict afuture of prosperity and might. An endless empire of Pompeii, reachingout from this city to topple Rome itself and encompass the whole, wideworld. If the Disciples of the Blue Box defy this prophecy, their bloodwill run across the temple floor. [SPURRINA] The gods approve. --------------------------------------- (Villa) [CAECILIUS] Positions! [DOCTOR] Whoa! There you go. [CAECILIUS] Thank you, kind sir. I'm afraid business is closed for theday. I'm expecting a visitor. [DOCTOR] But that's me, I'm a visitor. Hello. [CAECILIUS] Who are you? [DOCTOR] I am Spartacus. [DONNA] And so am I. [CAECILIUS] Mister and Mrs Spartacus. [DOCTOR] Oh no, no, no. We're not, we're not married. [DONNA] We're not together. [CAECILIUS] Oh, then brother and sister? Yes, of course. You look verymuch alike. [DOCTOR + DONNA] Really? [CAECILIUS] I'm sorry, but I'm not open for trade. [DOCTOR] And that trade would be? [CAECILIUS] Marble. Lopus Caecilius. Mining, polishing and designthereof. If you want marble, I'm your man. [DOCTOR] That's good. That's good, because I'm the marble inspector. [METELLA] By the gods of commerce, an inspection. I'm sorry, sir. I doapologise for my son. [QUINTUS] Oi. [CAECILIUS] And this is my good wife, Metella. I must confess, we're notprepared for a [DOCTOR] Nothing to worry about. I'm, I'm sure you've nothing to hide.Although, frankly, that object looks rather like wood to me. [METELLA] I told you to get rid of it. [CAECILIUS] I only bought it today. [DOCTOR] Ah, well. Caveat emptor. [CAECILIUS] Oh, you're Celtic. There's lovely. [DOCTOR] I'm sure it's fine, but I might have to take it off your handsfor a proper inspection. [DONNA] Although while we're here, wouldn't you recommend a holiday,Spartacus? [DOCTOR] Don't know what you mean, Spartacus. [DONNA] Oh, this lovely family. Mother and father and son. Don't youthink they should get out of town? [CAECILIUS] Why should we do that? [DONNA] Well, the volcano, for starters. [CAECILIUS] What? [DONNA] Volcano. [CAECILIUS] What ano? [DONNA] That great big volcano right on your doorstep. [DOCTOR] Oh, Spartacus, for shame. We haven't even greeted the householdgods yet. [DOCTOR] They don't know what it is. Vesuvius is just a mountain tothem. The top hasn't blown off yet. The Romans haven't even got a wordfor volcano. Not until tomorrow. [DONNA] Oh, great, they can learn a new word as they die. [DOCTOR] Donna, stop it. [DONNA] Listen, I don't know what sort of kids you've been flying roundwith in outer space, but you're not telling me to shut up. That boy,how old is he, sixteen? And tomorrow he burns to death. [DOCTOR] And that's my fault? [DONNA] Right now, yes. [ROMBUS] Announcing Lucius Petrus Dextrus, Chief Augur of the CityGovernment. [CAECILIUS] Lucius. My pleasure, as always. [METELLA] Quintus, stand up. [CAECILIUS] A rare and great honour, sir, for you to come to my house. [LUCIUS] The birds are flying north, and the wind is in the west. [CAECILIUS] Quite. Absolutely. That's good, is it? [LUCIUS] Only the grain of wheat knows where it will grow. [CAECILIUS] There now, Metella. Have you ever heard such wisdom? [METELLA] Never. It's an honour. [CAECILIUS] Pardon me, sir. I have guests. This is Spartacus and, er,Spartacus. [LUCIUS] A name is but a cloud upon a summer wind. [DOCTOR] But the wind is felt most keenly in the dark. [LUCIUS] Ah. But what is the dark, other than an omen of the sun? [DOCTOR] I concede that every sun must set. [LUCIUS] Ha. [DOCTOR] And yet the son of the father must also rise. [LUCIUS] Damn. Very clever, sir. Evidently, a man of learning. [DOCTOR] Oh, yes. But don't mind me. Don't want to disturb the statusquo. [CAECILIUS] He's Celtic. [DOCTOR] We'll be off in a minute. [DONNA] I'm not going. [CAECILIUS] It's ready, sir. [DOCTOR] You've got to. [DONNA] Well, I'm not. [CAECILIUS] The moment of revelation. And here it is. [CAECILIUS] Exactly as you specified. It pleases you, sir? [LUCIUS] As the rain pleases the soil. [DOCTOR] Oh, now that's different. Who designed that, then? [CAECILIUS] My Lord Lucius was very specific. [DOCTOR] Where'd you get the pattern? [LUCIUS] On the rain and mist and wind. [DONNA] But that looks like a circuit. [DOCTOR] Made of stone. [DONNA] Do you mean you just dreamt that thing up? [LUCIUS] That is my job, as City Augur. [DONNA] What's that, then, like the mayor? [DOCTOR] Oh, ha. You must excuse my friend, she's from Barcelona.(sotto) No, but this is an age of superstition. Of officialsuperstition. The Augur is paid by the city to tell the future. Thewind will blow from the west? That's the equivalent of ten o'clocknews. [EVELINA] They're laughing at us. Those two, they use words liketricksters. They're mocking us. [DOCTOR] No, no, I'm not. I meant no offence. [METELLA] I'm sorry. My daughter's been consuming the vapours. [QUINTUS] Oh for gods, Mother. What have you been doing to her? [CAECILIUS] Not now, Quintus. [QUINTUS] Yeah, but she's sick. Just look at her. [LUCIUS] I gather I have a rival in this household. Another with thegift. [METELLA] Oh, she's been promised to the Sibylline Sisterhood. They sayshe has remarkable visions. [LUCIUS] The prophecies of women are limited and dull. Only the menfolkhave the capacity for true perception. [DONNA] I'll tell you where the wind's blowing right now, mate. [LUCIUS] The Mountain God marks your words. I'd be careful, if I wereyou. [DOCTOR] Consuming the vapours, you say? [EVELINA] They give me strength. [DOCTOR] It doesn't look like it to me. [EVELINA] Is that your opinion as a doctor? [DOCTOR] I beg your pardon? [EVELINA] Doctor. That's your name. [DOCTOR] How did you know that? [EVELINA] And you. You call yourself Noble. [METELLA] Now then, Evelina. Don't be rude. [DOCTOR] No, no, no, no. Let her talk. [EVELINA] You both come from so far away. [LUCIUS] The female soothsayer is inclined to invent all sorts ofvagaries. [DOCTOR] Oh, not this time, Lucius. No, I reckon you've beenout-soothsayed. [LUCIUS] Is that so, man from Gallifrey? [DOCTOR] What? [LUCIUS] The strangest of images. Your home is lost in fire, is it not? [DONNA] Doctor, what are they doing? [LUCIUS] And you, daughter of London. [DONNA] How does he know that? [LUCIUS] This is the gift of Pompeii. Every single oracle tells thetruth. [DONNA] That's impossible. [LUCIUS] Doctor, she is returning. [DOCTOR] Who is? Who's she? [LUCIUS] And you, daughter of London. There is something on your back. [DONNA] What's that mean? [EVELINA] Even the word Doctor is false. Your real name is hidden. Itburns in the stars, in the Cascade of Medusa herself. You are a Lord,sir. A Lord of Time. [METELLA] Evelina! --------------------------------------- (Evelina's room) [METELLA] She didn't mean to be rude. She's ever such a good girl. Butwhen the gods speak through her. [DONNA] What's wrong with her arm? [METELLA] An irritation of the skin. She never complains, bless her. Webathe it in olive oil every night. [DONNA] What is it? [METELLA] Evelina said you'd come from far away. Please, have you everseen anything like it? [DONNA] It's stone. --------------------------------------- (Villa) [DOCTOR] Different sort of hypocaust? [CAECILIUS] Oh, yes. We're very advanced in Pompeii. In Rome, they'restill using the old wood-burning furnaces, but we've got hot springs,leading from Vesuvius itself. [DOCTOR] Who thought of that? [CAECILIUS] The soothsayers, after the great earthquake, seventeen yearsago. An awful lot of damage. But we rebuilt. [DOCTOR] Didn't you think of moving away? Oh no, then again, SanFrancisco. [CAECILIUS] That's a new restaurant in Naples, isn't it? [DOCTOR] What's that noise? [CAECILIUS] Don't know. Happens all the time. They say the gods of theUnderworld are stirring. [DOCTOR] But after the earthquake, let me guess. Is that when thesoothsayers started making sense? [CAECILIUS] Oh, yes, very much so. I mean, they'd always been, shall wesay, imprecise? But then the soothsayers, the augurs, the haruspex, allof them, they saw the truth again and again. It's quite amazing. Theycan predict crops and rainfall with absolute precision. [DOCTOR] Haven't they said anything about tomorrow? [CAECILIUS] No. Why, should they? Why do you ask? [DOCTOR] No, no. No reason. I'm just asking. But the soothsayers, theyall consume the vapours, yeah? [CAECILIUS] That's how they see. [DOCTOR] Ipso facto. [CAECILIUS] Look you. [DOCTOR] They're all consuming this. [CAECILIUS] Dust. [DOCTOR] Tiny particles of rock. They're breathing in Vesuvius. [DOCTOR] Quintus, me old son. This Lucius Petrus Dextrus. Where does helive? [QUINTUS] It's nothing to do with me. [DOCTOR] Let me try again. This Lucius Petrus Dextrus. [DOCTOR] Where does he live? --------------------------------------- (Street) [QUINTUS] Don't tell my Dad. [DOCTOR] Only if you don't tell mine. (He goes inside then leans out.) [DOCTOR] Pass me that torch. --------------------------------------- (Lucius' villa) [QUINTUS] The liar. He told my father it was the only one. [DOCTOR] Well, plenty of marble merchants in this town. Tell them allthe same thing, get all the components from different places, so no onecan see what you're building. [QUINTUS] Which is what? [LUCIUS] The future, Doctor. We are building the future, as dictated bythe gods. --------------------------------------- (Evelina's room) [DONNA] You're not supposed to laugh. Thanks for that. What do youthink? The Goddess Venus. [EVELINA] Oh, that's sacrilege. [DONNA] Nice to see you laugh, though. What do you do in old Pompeii,then, girls your age? You got mates? Do you go hanging about round theshops? TK Maximus? [EVELINA] I am promised to the Sisterhood for the rest of my life. [DONNA] Do you get any choice in that? [EVELINA] It's not my decision. The Sisters chose for me. I have thegift of sight. [DONNA] Then what can you see happening tomorrow? [EVELINA] Is tomorrow special? [DONNA] You tell me. What do you see? [EVELINA] The sun will rise, the sun will set. Nothing special at all. [DONNA] Look, don't tell the Doctor I said anything because he'll killme, but I've got a prophecy too. --------------------------------------- (Temple) [DONNA [OC]] Evelina, I'm sorry, but you've got tohear me out. [SPURRINA] Sisters. [DONNA [OC]] Evelina, can you hear me? Listen. --------------------------------------- (Evelina's room) [EVELINA] There is only one prophecy. [DONNA] But everything I'm about to say to you is true, I swear. Justlisten to me. Tomorrow, that mountain isgoing to explode. Evelina, please listen. The air is going to fill withash and rocks, tons and tons of it, and this whole town isgoing to get buried. [EVELINA] That's not true. [DONNA] I'm sorry. I'm really sorry, but everyone's going to die. --------------------------------------- (Temple) [SPURRINA] A new prophecy. [THALINA] Impossible. There is only one. --------------------------------------- (Evelina's room) [DONNA] Even if you don't believe me, just tell yourfamily to get out of town. Just for one day. Just for tomorrow. Butyou've got to get out. You've got to leave Pompeii. [EVELINA] This is false prophecy. --------------------------------------- (Temple) [SPURRINA] The noble woman. She spoke of a newprophecy. The fall of Pompeii. [HIGH PRIESTESS [OC]] Pompeii will last forever. [SPURRINA] Then what must we do? [HIGH PRIESTESS [OC]] The false prophet must die. Sacrifice her. --------------------------------------- (Lucius' villa) [DOCTOR] Put this one there. This one there. Er, keep that one upsidedown, and what you got? [LUCIUS] Enlighten me. [DOCTOR] What, the soothsayer doesn't know? [LUCIUS] The seed may float on the breeze in any direction. [DOCTOR] Yeah, I knew you were going to say that. But it's an energyconverter. [LUCIUS] An energy converter of what? [DOCTOR] I don't know. Isn't that brilliant? I love not knowing. Keepsme on my toes. It must be awful being a prophet, waking up everymorning, is it raining? Yes, it is, I said so. Takes all the fun out oflife. But who designed this, Lucius, hmm? Who gave you theseinstructions? [LUCIUS] I think you've babbled enough. [DOCTOR] Lucius, really, tell me. Honestly, I'm on your side. I canhelp. [LUCIUS] You insult the gods. There can be only one sentence. At arms. [DOCTOR] Oh, morituri te salutant. [LUCIUS] Celtic prayers won't help you now. [QUINTUS] But it was him, sir. He made me do it. Mister Dextrus, pleasedon't. [DOCTOR] Come on now, Quintus, dignity in death. I respect your victory,Lucius. Shake on it? Come on. Dying man's wish? [LUCIUS] Argh. [QUINTUS] But he's [DOCTOR] Show me. [LUCIUS] The work of the gods. [QUINTUS] He's stone. [DOCTOR] Armless enough, though. Whoops. [DOCTOR] Quintus! [LUCIUS] The carvings. --------------------------------------- (Street) [DOCTOR] Run! --------------------------------------- (Lucius' villa) [LUCIUS] My carvings! The work is unbroken. Oh, Lordof the Mountain, I beseech you. This man would prevent the rise ofPompeii. Lord, I beg of you, show yourself. Show yourself. --------------------------------------- (Street) [DOCTOR] No sign of them. Nice little bit ofallons-y. I think we're all right. [QUINTUS] But his arm, Doctor. Is that what's happening to Evelina? [DOCTOR] What was that? [QUINTUS] The mountain? [DOCTOR] No, it's closer. [DOCTOR] Footsteps. [QUINTUS] It can't be. [DOCTOR] Footsteps underground. [QUINTUS] What is it? What is it? --------------------------------------- (Villa) [METELLA] What is it? What's that noise? [CAECILIUS] Doesn't sound like Vesuvius. [DOCTOR] Caecilius? All of you, get out. [DONNA] Doctor, what is it? [DOCTOR] I think we're being followed. [DOCTOR] Just get out! [EVELINA] The gods are with us. [DOCTOR] Water. We need water. Quintus. All of you, get water. Donna! [ROMBUS] Blessed are we to see the gods. [DOCTOR] Talk to me. That's all I want. Talk to me. Just tell me youare. Don't hurt these people. [DOCTOR] Talk to me. I'm the Doctor. Just tell me who you are. [CAECILIUS] What was it? [DOCTOR] Carapace of stone, held together by internal magma. Not toodifficult to stop, but I reckon that's just the foot soldier. [METELLA] Doctor, or whatever your name is, you bring bad luck on thishouse. [DOCTOR] I thought your son was brilliant. Aren't you going to thankhim? (sotto) Still, if there are aliens at work in Pompeii, it's a goodthing we stayed. Donna? Donna? Donna! --------------------------------------- (Temple) [DONNA] You have got to be kidding me. [SPURRINA] The false prophet will surrender both her blood and herbreath. [DONNA] I'll surrender you in a minute. Don't you dare. [SPURRINA] You will be silent. [DONNA] Listen, sister, you might have eyes on the back of your hands,but you'll have eyes in the back of your head by the time I've finishedwith you. Let me go! [SPURRINA] This prattling voice will cease forever. [DOCTOR] Oh, that'll be the day. [SPURRINA] No man is allowed to enter the Temple of Sibyl. [DOCTOR] Well, that's all right. Just us girls. Do you know, I met theSibyl once. Yeah, hell of a woman. Blimey, she could dance theTarantella. Nice teeth. Truth be told, I think she had a bit of a thingfor me. I said it would never last. She said, I know. Well, she would.You all right there? [DONNA] Oh, never better. [DOCTOR] I like the toga. [DONNA] Thank you. And the ropes? [DOCTOR] Yeah, not so much. [SPURRINA] What magic is this? [DOCTOR] Let me tell you about the Sibyl, the founder of this religion.She would be ashamed of you. All her wisdom and insight turned sour. Isthat how you spread the word, hey? On the blade of a knife? [SPURRINA] Yes, a knife that now welcomes you. [HIGH PRIESTESS [OC]] Show me this man. [SPURRINA] High Priestess, the stranger would defile us. [HIGH PRIESTESS [OC]] Let me see. This one is different. He carriesstarlight in his wake. [DOCTOR] Oh, very perceptive. Where do these words of wisdom come from? [HIGH PRIESTESS [OC]] The gods whisper to me. [DOCTOR] They've done far more than that. Might I beg audience? Lookupon the High Priestess? [DONNA] Oh, my God. What's happened to you? [HIGH PRIESTESS] The heavens have blessed me. [DOCTOR] If I might? [DOCTOR] Does it hurt? [HIGH PRIESTESS] It is necessary. [DOCTOR] Who told you that? [HIGH PRIESTESS] The voices. [DONNA] Is that what's going to happen to Evelina? Is this what's goingto happen to all of you? [SPURRINA] The blessings are manifold. [DONNA] They're stone. [DOCTOR] Exactly. The people of Pompeii are turning to stone before thevolcano erupts. But why? [HIGH PRIESTESS] This word, this image in your mind. This volcano. Whatis that? [DOCTOR] More to the point, why don't you know about it? Who are you? [HIGH PRIESTESS] High Priestess of the Sibylline. [DOCTOR] No, no, no, no. I'm talking to the creature inside you. Thething that's seeding itself into a human body, in the dust, in thelungs, taking over the flesh and turning it into, what? [HIGH PRIESTESS] Your knowledge is impossible. [DOCTOR] Oh, but you can read my mind. You know it's not. I demand youtell me who you are. [HIGH PRIESTESS] We are awakening. [SPURRINA] The voice of the gods. [SISTERS] Words of wisdom, words of power. Words of wisdom, words ofpower. Words of wisdom [DOCTOR] Name yourself. Planet of origin. Galactic coordinates. Speciesdesignation according to the universal ratification of the ShadowProclamation. [HIGH PRIESTESS] We are rising. [DOCTOR] Tell me your name! [HIGH PRIESTESS] Pyrovile. [SISTERS] Pyrovile. Pyrovile. Pyrovile. [DONNA] What's a Pyrovile? [DOCTOR] Well, that's a Pyrovile, growing inside her. She's a halfwaystage. [DONNA] What, and that turns into? [DOCTOR] That thing in the villa. That was an adult Pyrovile. [HIGH PRIESTESS] And the breath of a Pyrovile will incinerate you,Doctor. [DOCTOR] I warn you, I'm armed. Donna, get that grill open. [DONNA] What for? [DOCTOR] Just. What are the Pyrovile doing here? [HIGH PRIESTESS] We fell from the heavens. We fell so far and so fast,we were rendered into dust. [DOCTOR] Right, creatures of stone shattered on impact. When was that,seventeen years ago? [HIGH PRIESTESS] We have slept beneath for thousands of years. [DOCTOR] Okay, so seventeen years ago woke you up, and now you're usinghuman bodies to reconstitute yourselves. But why the psychic powers?HIGH PRIESTESS [DOCTOR] Okay, that's fine. So you force yourself inside a human brain,use the latent psychic talent to bond. I get that, I get that, yeah.But seeing the future? That is way beyond psychic. You can see throughtime. Where does the gift of prophecy come from? [DONNA] Got it. [DOCTOR] Now get down. [DONNA] What, down there? [DOCTOR] Yes, down there. Why can't this lot predict a volcano? Why isit being hidden? [SPURRINA] Sisters, I see into his mind. The weapon is harmless. [DOCTOR] Yeah, but it's got to sting. [DOCTOR] Get down there! --------------------------------------- (Hypocaust) [DONNA] You fought her off with a water pistol. I bloody love you. [DOCTOR] This way. [DONNA] Where are we going now? [DOCTOR] Into the volcano. [DONNA] No way. [DOCTOR] Yes, way. Appian way. --------------------------------------- (Temple) [HIGH PRIESTESS] The stranger would threaten ourgreat endeavour. The time has come. The prophecy must advance. --------------------------------------- (Lucius' villa) [LUCIUS] The prophecy must advance. Thy will bedone. Summon the Cult of Vulcan. [SLAVE] Yes, sir. [LUCIUS] We must go to the mountain. Vesuvius awaits. --------------------------------------- (Villa) [CAECILIUS] Sunrise, my love. A new day. Even the longest night mustend. [QUINTUS] The mountain's worse than ever. [METELLA] We killed a messenger of the gods in our own house.Sweetheart, can you see? Tell us. What's going to happen? [QUINTUS] Just leave her alone. [EVELINA] I can see. [METELLA] What is it? [EVELINA] A choice. Someone must make a choice. The most terriblechoice. --------------------------------------- (Hypocaust) [DONNA] But if it's aliens setting off the volcano,doesn't that make it all right for you to stop it? [DOCTOR] Still part of history. [DONNA] But I'm history to you. You saved me in 2008. You saved us all.Why is that different? [DOCTOR] Some things are fixed, some things are in flux. Pompeii isfixed. [DONNA] How do you know which is which? [DOCTOR] Because that's how I see the universe. Every waking second, Ican see what is, what was, what could be, what must not. That's theburden of a Time Lord, Donna. And I'm the only one left. [DONNA] How many people died? [DOCTOR] Stop it. [DONNA] Doctor, how many people died? [DOCTOR] Twenty thousand. [DONNA] Is that what you can see, Doctor? All twenty thousand? And youthink that's all right, do you? [DOCTOR] They know we're here. Come on. --------------------------------------- (Mountainside) [LUCIUS] O mighty Vesuvius, accept these offerings, in Vulcan's design,and show unto us, I beseech you, the gods of the Underworld. --------------------------------------- (Cavern) [DOCTOR] It's the heart of Vesuvius. We're right inside the mountain. [DONNA] There's tons of them. [DOCTOR] What's that thing? [DONNA] Oh, you better hurry up and think of something. Rocky fall's onits way. [DOCTOR] That's how they arrived. Or what's left of it. Escape pod?Prison ship? Gene bank? [DONNA] But why do they need a volcano? Maybe it erupts, and they launchthemselves back into space or something? [DOCTOR] Oh, it's worse than that. [DONNA] How could it be worse? Doctor, it's getting closer. [LUCIUS] Heathens defile us. They would desecrate your temple, my lordgods. [DOCTOR] Come on. [DONNA] We can't go in. [DOCTOR] Well, we can't go back. [LUCIUS] Crush them. Burn them. [LUCIUS] There is nowhere to run, Doctor, and daughter of London. [DOCTOR] Now then, Lucius. My lords Pyrovillian, don't get yourselves ina lather. In a lava? No? No. But if I might beg the wisdom of the godsbefore we perish. Once this new race of creatures is complete, thenwhat? [LUCIUS] My masters will follow the example of Rome itself. An almightyempire, bestriding the whole of civilisation. [DONNA] But if you've crashed, and you've got all this technology, whydon't you just go home? [LUCIUS] The Heaven of Pyrovillia is gone. [DOCTOR] What do you mean, gone? Where's it gone? [LUCIUS] It was taken. Pyrovillia is lost. But there is heat enough inthis world for a new species to rise. [DOCTOR] Yeah, I should warn you, it's seventy percent water out there. [LUCIUS] Water can boil. And everything will burn, Doctor. [DOCTOR] Then the whole planet is at stake. Thank you. That's all Ineeded to know. Donna. [LUCIUS] You have them, my lords. --------------------------------------- (Escape pod) [DONNA] Could we be any more trapped? [DONNA] Little bit hot. [DOCTOR] See? The energy converter takes the lava, uses the power tocreate a fusion matrix, which welds Pyrovile to human. Now it'scomplete, they can convert millions. [DONNA] But can't you change it with these controls? [DOCTOR] Of course I can, but don't you see? That's why the soothsayerscan't see the volcano. There is no volcano. Vesuvius is nevergoing to erupt. The Pyrovile are stealing all its power. They're goingto use it to take over the world. [DONNA] But you can change it back? [DOCTOR] I can invert the system, set off the volcano, and blow them up,yes. But, that's the choice, Donna. It's Pompeii or the world. [DONNA] Oh, my God. [DOCTOR] If Pompeii is destroyed then it's not just history, it's me. Imake it happen. [DONNA] Doctor, the Pyrovile are made of rocks. Maybe they can't beblown up. [DOCTOR] Vesuvius explodes with the force of twenty four nuclear bombs.Nothing can survive it. Certainly not us. [DONNA] Never mind us. [DOCTOR] Push this lever and it's over. Twenty thousand people. --------------------------------------- (Cavern) [LUCIUS] No! No! --------------------------------------- (Temple) [HIGH PRIESTESS] No! [SPURRINA] A new prophecy. --------------------------------------- (Villa) [EVELINA] The future is changing.(Vesuvius erupts with its pyroclastic flow. The bright red stone escapepod zooms out of the caldera to the sound of Donna's scream.) [CAECILIUS] The sky is falling. [EVELINA] Death. Only death. --------------------------------------- (Mountainside) [DOCTOR] It was an escape pod. --------------------------------------- (Villa) [CAECILIUS] Out! Out! Everybody out! Quickly. --------------------------------------- (Temple) [SPURRINA] You lied to us. And yet this was meant to be. --------------------------------------- (Pompeii) [DONNA] Don't. Don't go to the beach. Don't go to the beach, go to thehills. Listen to me. Don't go to the beach, it's not safe. Listen tome. [DONNA] Come here. [WOMAN] Give him to me. [DOCTOR] Come on. --------------------------------------- (Villa) [CAECILIUS] Gods save us, Doctor. [DONNA] No! Doctor, you can't. Doctor! --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DONNA] You can't just leave them! [DOCTOR] Don't you think I've done enough? History's back in place andeveryone dies. [DONNA] You've got to go back. Doctor, I am telling you, take this thingback. It's not fair. [DOCTOR] No, it's not. [DONNA] But your own planet. It burned. [DOCTOR] That's just it. Don't you see, Donna? Can't you understand? IfI could go back and save them, then I would. But I can't. I can nevergo back. I can't. I just can't, I can't. [DONNA] Just someone. Please. Not the whole town. Just save someone. --------------------------------------- (Villa) [DOCTOR] Come with me. --------------------------------------- (Hillside) [DOCTOR] It's never forgotten, Caecilius. Oh, time will pass, men'llmove on, and stories will fade. But one day, Pompeii will be foundagain. In thousands of years. And everyone will remember you. [DONNA] What about you, Evelina? Can you see anything? [EVELINA] The visions have gone. [DOCTOR] The explosion was so powerful it cracked open a rift in time,just for a second. That's what gave you the gift of prophecy. It echoedback into the Pyrovillian alternative. But not any more. You're free. [METELLA] But tell me. Who are you, Doctor? With your words, and yourtemple containing such size within? [DOCTOR] Oh, I was never here. Don't tell anyone. [CAECILIUS] The great god Vulcan must be enraged. It's so volcanic. It'slike some sort of volcano. All those people. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DONNA] Thank you. [DOCTOR] Yeah. You were right. Sometimes I need someone. Welcome aboard. [DONNA] Yeah. --------------------------------------- (Rome) [CAECILIUS] Metella, my love, have you seen that clasp? The beetle one.The Egyptians do love a scarab. [METELLA] Here we are. I was giving it a polish. Now calm down. [CAECILIUS] If I get that contract for the marble granaries ofAlexandria, we'll be rich. You'll see. Hold on there, Evelina. You arenot going out wearing that. [EVELINA] Don't start, Dad. It's what all the girls in Rome are wearing.See you later. [CAECILIUS] Are you seeing that boy again? [METELLA] Oh, look at Quintus. My son, the doctor. [QUINTUS] Mum, I've told you. I'm not a doctor. Not yet. I'm just astudent of the physical sciences. [METELLA] Well, that's a doctor to me. Give thanks to the household godsbefore you go, there's a good boy. Come here, let me fix it. You've gotthat folded all wrong. [QUINTUS] Thank you, household gods. Thank you for everything.

Doctor Who (19 Apr, 2008; Tenth Doctor) - Planet of the Ood [NARRATOR [OC]] The Ood. They came from distant world. They voyagedacross the stars, all with one purpose. [OOD] Do you take milk and sugar? [NARRATOR [OC]] To serve. [BARTLE] That's good. That's excellent. I like it, sir. Buy one now.Direct. Straight to the point. [HALPEN [OC]] We play that across the Tri-galactic for two weeks, thenintroduce this. [NARRATOR [OC]] Now only fifty credits. [BARTLE] Fifty? We're reducing the price to fifty credits? [HALPEN [OC]] Sales are down. We've got to reposition ourselves. So getgoing. [BARTLE] Idiot. Bleeding us dry. You, there. Get me last month'smilitary export figures. The army always need more grunts. [OOD] Yes, sir. [SOLANA [OC]] Mister Bartle, you asked me to call you? [BARTLE] Solana, when those buyers arrive we're going to pitch likenever before. I want those Ood flying out of here. [BARTLE] That. I said military figures. That's the domestic files. Getme the military. [OOD] The file is irrelevant, sir. [BARTLE] Oh? And why's that? [OOD] Have a nice day. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] Set the controls to random. Mystery tour. Outside that doorcould be any planet, anywhere, anywhen in the whole wide u. Are you allright? [DONNA] Terrified. I mean, history's one thing but an alien planet? [DOCTOR] I could always take you home. [DONNA] Yeah, don't laugh at me. [DOCTOR] I know what it's like. Everything you're feeling right now. Thefear, the joy, the wonder? I get that. [DONNA] Seriously? After all this time? [DOCTOR] Yeah. Why do you think I keep going? [DONNA] Oh. All right then, you and me both. This is barmy. I was bornin Chiswick. I've only ever had package holidays. Now I'm here. This isso. I mean it's. I don't know, it's all sort of. I don't even know whatthe word is. --------------------------------------- (Planet surface) [DONNA] Oh, I've got the word. Freezing. [DOCTOR] Snow! Oh, real snow. Proper snow at last. That's more like it.Lovely. What do you think? [DONNA] Bit cold. [DOCTOR] Look at that view. [DONNA] Yep. Beautiful, cold view. [DOCTOR] Millions of planets, millions of galaxies, and we're on thisone. Molto bene. Bellissimo, says Donna, born in Chiswick. All you'vegot is a life of work and sleep, and telly and rent and tax andtakeaway dinners, all birthdays and Christmases and two weeks holiday ayear, and then you end up here. Donna Noble, citizen of the Earth,standing on a different planet. How about that Donna? [DOCTOR] Donna? [DONNA] Sorry, you were saying? [DOCTOR] Better? [DONNA] Lovely, thanks. [DOCTOR] Comfy? [DONNA] Yep. [DOCTOR] Can you hear anything inside that? [DONNA] Pardon? [DOCTOR] All right, I was saying, citizen of the Earth [DONNA] Rocket. Blimey, a real proper rocket. Now that's what I call aspaceship. You've got a box, he's got a Ferrari. Come on, lets go seewhere he's going. --------------------------------------- (Factory complex) [RYDER] Mister Halpen, sir. Doctor Ryder, new head of Ood Management. [HALPEN] How many dead? Come on, facts and figures. I haven't flown allthis way to discuss the weather, which by the way is freezing. [RYDER] Solana has the figures, sir. [SOLANA] Solana Mercurio, sir. Head of Marketing and Galactic Liaison. [HALPEN] That's just what I need. A PR woman. I don't want a word ofthis getting out, is that understood? Now, get to the point. How manydead? --------------------------------------- (Office) [SOLANA] In the past financial quarter we've hadthree deaths in the complex, all attributed to heart attacks orindustrial accidents. But now we've captured this on tape, the causewould seem the same. [HALPEN] It's using the translator ball as a weapon. How's that work? [RYDER] Well, no idea. I'm checking the equipment. Nothing so far. [HALPEN] Can't see its eyes from this angle. [RYDER] I think we have to assume [HALPEN] Red eye. [RYDER] I would think so, sir. [HALPEN] That Ood. What happened to it? [RYDER] Oh, ran for the wild, sir, like a dog. One of the guards firedoff a shot. It'll be dead by now. [SOLANA] Can I ask? What's red eye, sir? [RYDER] Well, it's some sort of infection. The Ood eyes literally changecolour. [HALPEN] Drink. [RYDER] I can't find a source. All the bacterial scans registernegative. [SOLANA] Sorry, but according to your own rules, sir, there's no alcoholallowed on base. [HALPEN] It's hair tonic, if you must know. Five years ago I had a fullhead of hair. Stress, that's what this is. Stress. --------------------------------------- (Planet surface) [DOCTOR] Hold on, can you hear that? Donna, take your hood down. [DONNA] What? [DOCTOR] That noise is like a song. Over there. [DONNA] What is it? [DOCTOR] An Ood. He's called an Ood. [DONNA] But it's face. [DOCTOR] Donna, don't. Not now. It's a he, not an it. Give me a hand. [DONNA] Sorry. [DOCTOR] I don't know where the heart is. I don't know if he's got aheart. Talk to him, keep him going. [DONNA] It's all right, we've got you. Er, what's your name? [DELTA 50] Designated Ood Delta 50. [DONNA] My name's Donna. [DOCTOR] No. No, no, no. You don't need to. [DONNA] Sorry. Oh, God. This is the Doctor. Just what you need, adoctor. Couldn't be better, hey? [DOCTOR] You've been shot. [DELTA 50] The circle. [DONNA] No, don't try to talk. [DELTA 50] The circle must be broken. [DOCTOR] Circle? What do you mean? Delta 50, what circle? Delta 50? Whatcircle? [DONNA] He's gone. [DOCTOR] Careful. [DONNA] There you are, sweetheart. We were too late. What do we do, dowe bury him? [DOCTOR] The snow'll take care of that. [DONNA] Who was he? What's an Ood? [DOCTOR] They're servants of humans in the forty second century. Mildlytelepathic. That was the song. It was his mind calling out. [DONNA] I couldn't hear anything. He sang as he was dying. [DOCTOR] His eyes turned red. [DONNA] What's that mean? [DOCTOR] Trouble. Come on. The Ood are harmless. They're completelybenign. Except, the last time I met them, there was this force, like astronger mind, powerful enough to take them over. [DONNA] What sort of force? [DOCTOR] Oh, long story. [DONNA] Long walk. [DOCTOR] It was the Devil. [DONNA] If you're going to take the mickey, I'll just put my hood backup. [DOCTOR] Must be something different this time, though. Something closerto home. Ah ha! Civilisation. --------------------------------------- (Factory complex) [SOLANA] Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the OodSphere. And isn't it bracing? Here are your information packs, withvouchers, 3D tickets and a map of the complex. My name's Solana, Headof Marketing. I'm sure we've all spoken on the vidfone. Now, if you'dlike to follow me. [DOCTOR] Sorry, sorry, sorry. Late. Don't mind us. Hello. The guards letus through. [SOLANA] And you would be? [DOCTOR] The Doctor and Donna Noble. [DONNA] Representing the Noble Corporation PLC Limited, Intergalactic. [SOLANA] Must have fallen off my list. My apologies. Won't happen again.Now then, Doctor Noble, Mrs Noble, if you'd like to come with me. [DOCTOR] Oh, no, no, no, no. We're not married. [DONNA] We're so not married. [DOCTOR] Never. [DONNA] Never ever. [SOLANA] Of course. And here are your information packs, vouchersinside. Now if you'd like to come with me, the Executive Suites arenice and warm. [DOCTOR] Oh, what's that? That sounds like an alarm. --------------------------------------- (Office) [HALPEN] For God's sake, we've got the buyersarriving, who sounded the alarm? Drink. --------------------------------------- (Factory complex) [SOLANA] Oh, it's just a siren for the end of thework shift. Now then, this way, quick as you can. --------------------------------------- (Office) [HALPEN] Mister Kess, what the hell's going on? [KESS [OC]] Ood on the loose, sir. --------------------------------------- (Factory complex) [KESS] Looks like we've got another one. --------------------------------------- (Office) [HALPEN] Red eye? [KESS [OC]] As red as sin, sir. --------------------------------------- (Factory complex) [KESS] Don't worry, Mister Halpen, we're on it. [GUARD] Sir! [KESS] All right, then, lads. Go! Get him! --------------------------------------- (Presentation area) [SOLANA] As you can see, the Ood are happy to serve, and we keep them infacilities of the highest standard. Here at the Double O, that's OodOperations, we like to think of the Ood as our trusted friends. --------------------------------------- (Factory complex) [KESS] He's over there. You two follow me. --------------------------------------- (Presentation area) [SOLANA] We keep the Ood healthy, safe, andeducated. --------------------------------------- (Factory complex) [KESS] Take him alive. --------------------------------------- (Presentation area) [SOLANA] We don't just breed the Ood. We make thembetter. Because at heart, what is an Ood, but a reflection of us? Ifyour Ood is happy, then you'll be happy, too. --------------------------------------- (Factory complex) [KESS] Mister Halpen? This is a bit more than red eye, sir. This issomething new. It's rabid, sir. --------------------------------------- (Office) [HALPEN] Take it to Doctor Ryder. Just get it out ofsight. [MAN [OC]] Sales figures needed by 19,00 sir. [HALPEN] Yeah, yeah, yeah. [HALPEN] What do you think? Growing back? Just a little bit? Like you'dknow. --------------------------------------- (Presentation area) [SOLANA] I'd now like to point out a new innovationfrom Ood Operations. We've introduced a variety package with the Oodtranslator ball. You can now have the standard setting. How are youtoday, Ood? [OOD 1] I'm perfectly well, thank you. [SOLANA] Or perhaps after a stressful day, a little something for thegentlemen. And how are you, Ood? [OOD 2] (husky female) All the better for seeing you. [SOLANA] And the comedy classic option. Ood, you dropped something. [OOD 3] (Homer Simpson) D'oh. [SOLANA] All that for only five additional credits. The details are inyour brochures. Now, there's plenty more food and drink, so don't holdback. [DOCTOR] Ah, got it. The Ood Sphere, I've been to this solar systembefore. Years ago. Ages. Close to the planet Sense Sphere. Let's widenout. The year 4126. That is the Second Great and Bountiful Human Empire. [DONNA] 4126? It's 4126. I'm in 4126. [DOCTOR] It's good, isn't it? [DONNA] What's the Earth like now? [DOCTOR] Bit full. But you see, the Empire stretches out across threegalaxies. [DONNA] It's weird. I mean, it's brilliant, but. Back home, the papersand the telly, they keep saying we haven't got long to live. Globalwarming, flooding, all the bees disappearing. [DOCTOR] Yeah. That thing about the bees is odd. [DONNA] But look at us. We're everywhere. Is that good or bad, though? Imean, are we like explorers? Or more like a virus? [DOCTOR] Sometimes I wonder. [DONNA] What are the red dots? [DOCTOR] Ood distribution centres. [DONNA] Across three galaxies? Don't the Ood get a say in this? [DONNA] Er, sorry, but. [DONNA] Hello. Tell me, are you all like this? [OOD 1] I do not understand, Miss. [DONNA] Why do you say Miss? Do I look single? [DOCTOR] Back to the point. [DONNA] Yeah. What I mean is, are there any free Ood? Are there Oodrunning wild somewhere, like wildebeest. [OOD 1] All Ood are born to serve. Otherwise, we would die. [DONNA] But you can't have started like that. Before the humans, whatwere you like? [OOD 1] The circle. [DOCTOR] What do you mean? What circle? [OOD 1] The circle. The circle is [SOLANA] Ladies and gentlemen. All Ood to hospitality stations, please. [DOCTOR] I've had enough of the schmoozing. Do you fancy going off thebeaten track? [SOLANA] Now, if I can introduce you [DONNA] Rough guide to the Ood Sphere? Works for me. [DOCTOR] Yeah. --------------------------------------- (Detention room) [HALPEN] What the hell is wrong with it? [RYDER] It's obviously stage two of red eye. Whatever that means. [HALPEN] Ood Sigma, have you seen this before? [SIGMA] Humanity defines us, sir. We look to you for answers. [HALPEN] Oh, fat lot of good, all of you. We're exporting hundreds ofthousands of Ood to all the civilised planets. If they turn rabid, youknow what it'll mean. [RYDER] There's only one thing I haven't checked, sir. WarehouseFifteen. [HALPEN] Why should that cause trouble? It's been two centuries now. Nochange, not ever. Drink. [RYDER] I know it's restricted access, but if I'm going to work on this,I should see it. Just in case. [HALPEN] Can't stand the place. Still, Warehouse Fifteen then. Come on. [RYDER] What about this one, sir? [HALPEN] Well, I'd suggest a post mortem. Which means it's got to bedead first. --------------------------------------- (Factory complex) [TANNOY] Ood shift eight now commencing. Repeat. Ood shift eight nowcommencing. [KESS] Get up. I said get up. [DONNA] Servants? They're slaves. [KESS] Get up! March. [DOCTOR] Last time I met the Ood, I never thought. I never asked. [DONNA] That's not like you. [DOCTOR] I was busy. So busy I couldn't save them. I had to let the Ooddie. I reckon I owe them one. [DONNA] That looks like the boss. [DOCTOR] Let's keep out of his way. Come on. [RYDER] How long since you went inside? [HALPEN] Must be ten years ago. [COMPUTER] Warehouse Fifteen. [HALPEN] My father brought me here when I was six years old. [COMPUTER] Security protocol initiated. [HALPEN] God, the stench of it. [COMPUTER] Warehouse Fifteen door open. --------------------------------------- (Warehouse 15) [RYDER] Incredible. [HALPEN] Like I said, nothing's changed. [RYDER] I've read the documents, but it doesn't quite prepare you. [HALPEN] Is it just me, or does it feel as if it's looking at you? [RYDER] I think I understand the barrier mechanics well enough. I'llcheck the signal. [HALPEN] I suppose it's home sweet home to you. What do you think? [SIGMA] I have no opinion, sir. [HALPEN] Well, say hello to Daddy. [RYDER] Nothing. The barrier's intact. No abnormal signal. Same as it'sbeen for two hundred years. [SOLANA [OC]] Mister Halpen, the two people from the Noble Corporationfailed to pass security checks. --------------------------------------- (Presentation area) [SOLANA] There's no such company, the NobleCorporation doesn't exist. And on top of that, they seem to have gonemissing, sir. --------------------------------------- (Warehouse 15) [SOLANA [OC]] The Doctor and Miss Noble. [HALPEN] Just what I need. Start a search. No alarms, got that? Keep itquiet. You see? Hair loss. Drink. Tell you what, old friend. Have thisone on me. Cheers. [HALPEN] I think we're finished here. [RYDER] Sorry. --------------------------------------- (Factory complex) [DOCTOR] Where'd you learn to whistle? [DONNA] West Ham, every Saturday. --------------------------------------- (Ood Cargo) [DOCTOR] Ood export. You see? Lifts up the containers, takes them to therocket sheds, ready to be flown out all over the three galaxies. [DONNA] What, you mean, these containers are full of? [DOCTOR] What do you think? --------------------------------------- (Shipping container) [DONNA] Oh, it stinks. How many of them do you think there are in eachone? [DOCTOR] Hundred? More? [DONNA] A great big empire built on slavery. [DOCTOR] It's not so different from your time. [DONNA] Oi. I haven't got slaves. [DOCTOR] Who do you think made your clothes? [DONNA] Is that why you travel round with a human at your side? It's notso you can show them the wonders of the universe, it's so you can takecheap shots? [DOCTOR] Sorry. [DONNA] Don't, Spaceman. I don't understand, the door is open, why don'tyou just run away? [OOD] For what reason? [DONNA] You could be free. [OOD] I do not understand the concept. [DONNA] What is it with that Persil ball? I mean, they're not born withit, are they? Why do they have to be all plugged in? [DOCTOR] Ood, tell me. Does the circle mean anything to you? [ALL OOD] The circle must be broken. [DONNA] Oh, that is creepy. [DOCTOR] But what is it? What is the circle? [ALL OOD] The circle must be broken. [DOCTOR] Why? [ALL OOD] So that we can sing. --------------------------------------- (Ood Cargo) [KESS] Mister Halpen? I'm in Ood Cargo, I've found your unwanted guests.Go. --------------------------------------- (Shipping container) [DOCTOR] Oh, that's us. Come on. --------------------------------------- (Office) [HALPEN] Cut the alarms. I said, no alarms! --------------------------------------- (Presentation area) [SOLANA] Nothing to worry about, ladies andgentlemen. It's just a fire drill. We test the system at this timeevery day. If you'll excuse me. --------------------------------------- (Ood Cargo) [DONNA] Doctor, there's a door. [GUARD] Don't move! [DOCTOR] Where've you gone? [GUARD] Stay where you are. [KESS] Keep her in there for now. [DONNA] Get off me. Get off me! [DOCTOR] Donna? Where are you? [KESS] All guards withdraw. [GUARD [OC]] Sir? [KESS] I said withdraw. Keep to the perimeter. I've got this one. I'vealways wanted to do this. [KESS] Container locked. --------------------------------------- (Container) [DONNA] Can you help me? [DONNA] Oh, no, you don't. What have I done? I'm not one of that lot.I'm on your side. Stay where you are. That's an order. I said, stay.Doctor? Doctor! --------------------------------------- (Ood Cargo) [SOLANA] You heard the instructions. Mister Halpen wants them alive. --------------------------------------- (Container) [DONNA] Doctor, get me out! --------------------------------------- (Ood Cargo) [DONNA [OC]] Doctor, get me out of here. [DOCTOR] If you don't do what she says, you're really in trouble. Notfrom me, from her. [KESS] Unlock the container. [DONNA] Doctor. [DOCTOR] There we go, safe and sound. [DONNA] Never mind about me. What about them? [KESS] Red alert. Fire! [KESS] Shoot to kill. --------------------------------------- (Factory complex) [DONNA] If people back on Earth knew what was goingon here. [SOLANA] Oh, don't be so stupid. Of course they know. [DONNA] They know how you treat the Ood? [SOLANA] They don't ask. Same thing. [DOCTOR] Solana, the Ood aren't born like this. They can't be. A speciesborn to serve could never evolve in the first place. What does thecompany do to make them obey? [SOLANA] That's nothing to do with me. [DOCTOR] Oh, what, because you don't ask? [SOLANA] That's Doctor Ryder's territory. [DOCTOR] Where's he? What part of the complex? I could help with the redeye. Now show me. [SOLANA] There. Beyond the red section. [DOCTOR] Come with me. You've seen the warehouse. You can't agree withall this. You know this place better than me. You could help. [SOLANA] They're over here! Guards! They're over here. [GUARD] Male and female suspects escaped. West ridge corridor. [SOLANA] Mister Halpen, I found the Doctor. He's heading for OodConversion. [HALPEN [OC]] On my way. --------------------------------------- (Office) [HALPEN] Mister Kess, what's the situation? --------------------------------------- (Detention area) [KESS] We've contained it, sir. Fenced them in. Butthe red eye seems to be permanent this time. It's not fading. Worsethan that, sir, there's more of them going rabid. In my opinion, sir, Ithink we've lost them. The entire batch contaminated. --------------------------------------- (Office) [HALPEN] What's causing it? Why now? What's changed? [HALPEN] How many Ood in total? --------------------------------------- (Detention area) [KESS] I'd say about two thousand, sir. [HALPEN [OC]] We can write them off. That's what insurance is for. --------------------------------------- (Office) [HALPEN] Drink. We've plenty more on the breedingfarms. Let's start again. Fetch the canisters. --------------------------------------- (Detention area) [HALPEN [OC]] No survivors. [KESS] My pleasure, sir. You lot. Canisters. --------------------------------------- (Factory complex) [DOCTOR] This way. [DOCTOR] Oh, can you hear it? I didn't need the map. I should havelistened. --------------------------------------- (Ood Conversion) [DONNA] Hold on. Does that mean we're locked in? [DOCTOR] Listen. Listen, listen, listen, listen. [DOCTOR] Oh, my head. [DONNA] What is it? [DOCTOR] Can't you hear it? The singing? [DONNA] They look different to the others. [DOCTOR] That's because they're natural born Ood, unprocessed, beforethey're adapted to slavery. Unspoilt. That's their song. [DONNA] I can't hear it. [DOCTOR] Do you want to? [DONNA] Yeah. [DOCTOR] It's the song of captivity. [DONNA] Let me hear it. [DOCTOR] Face me. [DOCTOR] Open your mind. That's it. Hear it, Donna. Hear the music. [DONNA] Take it away. [DOCTOR] Sure? [DONNA] I can't bear it. [DONNA] I'm sorry. [DOCTOR] It's okay. [DONNA] But you can still hear it. [DOCTOR] All the time. --------------------------------------- (Outside Ood Conversion) [HALPEN] Come on. What's the hold up? [RYDER] It's the experimentation lab. Maximum security. He's fused thesystem. [HALPEN] Don't just stand there, get the bolt cutters. Rip that dooroff. Solana, go back to the reps, I don't want any of them wanderingoff and seeing this. And get them away from the Ood, just in case.Hurry up! [SOLANA] Yes, sir. --------------------------------------- (Ood Conversion) [DONNA] They're breaking in. [DOCTOR] Ah, let them. [DOCTOR] What are you holding? Show me. Friend. Doctor, Donna. Friend.Let me see. Look at me. Let me see. That's it. That's it, go on. Go on. [DONNA] Is that? [DOCTOR] It's a brain. A hind brain. The Ood are born with a secondarybrain. Like the amygdala in humans, it processes memory and emotions.You get rid of that, you wouldn't be Donna any more. You'd be like anOod. A processed Ood. [DONNA] So the company cuts off their brains? [DOCTOR] And they stitch on the translator. [DONNA] Like a lobotomy. I spent all that time looking for you, Doctor,because I thought it was so wonderful out here. I want to go home. [GUARD [OC]] They're with the Ood, sir. [DOCTOR] What you going to do, then? Arrest me? Lock me up? Throw me ina cage? Well, you're too late. Ha! --------------------------------------- (Office) [HALPEN] Why don't you just come out and say it? FOTO activists. [DOCTOR] If that's what Friends Of The Ood are trying to prove, thenyes. [HALPEN] The Ood were nothing without us, just animals roaming around onthe ice. [DOCTOR] That's because you can't hear them. [HALPEN] They welcomed it. It's not as if they put up a fight. [DONNA] You idiot. They're born with their brains in their hands. Don'tyou see, that makes them peaceful. They've got to be,because a creature like that would have to trust anyone it meets. [DOCTOR] Oh, nice one. [DONNA] Thank you. [HALPEN] The system's worked for two hundred years. All we've got is arogue batch. But the infection is about to be sterilised. Mister Kess.How do we stand? --------------------------------------- (Detention area) [KESS] Canisters primed, sir. As soon as the coreheats up, the gas is released. Give it two hundred marks and counting. --------------------------------------- (Office) [DOCTOR] You're going to gas them?. [HALPEN] Kill the livestock. The classic foot and mouth solution fromthe olden days. Still works. --------------------------------------- (Presentation area) [SOLANA] I'm sorry. If I could ask you one moretime, could all the reps please come through to the Education Suites. [REP] Why move now? It's a free bar. [SOLANA] Could I ask all the Ood to withdraw. It's feeding time. [REP] Ah, you've upset them. Leave them alone. [SOLANA] I have to insist. If all the Ood could please leave. [SOLANA] Ladies and gentlemen, change of plan. If you could leave by thefire exits. [REP] I could sell this. You could offer different colours. [MAN] Get out of here! Get out of here! --------------------------------------- (Factory complex) [GUARD] They've gone insane, Miss. They've gone mad,all of them. [SOLANA] Just shoot them. Shoot to kill! --------------------------------------- (Office) [HALPEN] What the hell? --------------------------------------- (Detention area) [KESS] What's going on out there? --------------------------------------- (Factory complex) [TANNOY] Emergency status. Emergency status. Allexits sealed. All Ood declared hostile. Ood distribution centre now [RYDER] It's a revolution. --------------------------------------- (Detention area) [KESS] Come back. Let me out of here. --------------------------------------- (Office) [HALPEN] Change of plan. [RYDER] There are no reports of trouble off-world, sir. It's stillcontained to the Ood Sphere. [HALPEN] Then we've got a public duty to stop it before it spreads. [DOCTOR] What's happening? [HALPEN] Everything you wanted, Doctor. No doubt there'll be a fullpolice investigation once this place has been sterilised, so I can'trisk a bullet to the head. I'll leave you to the mercies of the Ood. [DOCTOR] But Mister Halpen, there's something else, isn't there?Something we haven't seen. [DONNA] What do you mean? [DOCTOR] A creature couldn't survive with a separate forebrain and hindbrain, they'd be at war with themselves. There's got to be somethingelse, a third element, am I right? [HALPEN] And again, so clever. [DOCTOR] But it's got to be connected to the red eye. What is it? [HALPEN] It won't exist for very much longer. Enjoy your Ood. [DOCTOR] Come on. --------------------------------------- (Factory complex) [HALPEN] Doctor Ryder. Warehouse Fifteen. [RYDER] Well, what about this one? [HALPEN] No. You've not turned. Faithful to the last. Go. Join yourpeople, while you still can. [HALPEN] Come on. --------------------------------------- (Office) [DONNA] Well, do something. You're the one with allthe tricks. You must have met Houdini. [DOCTOR] These are really good handcuffs. [DONNA] Oh well, I'm glad of that. I mean, at least we've got quality. [DOCTOR] Doctor, Donna, friends. [DONNA] The circle must be broken. [DOCTOR] Doctor, Donna, friends. [DONNA] The circle must be broken. [DOCTOR] Doctor, Donna, friends. [DONNA] The circle must be broken. [DOCTOR] Friends, friends, friends. [DONNA] The circle must be broken. [OOD] Doctor. Donna. Friends. [DOCTOR + DONNA] Yes. That's us. Friends. Oh, yes. --------------------------------------- (Factory complex) [HALPEN] No, leave him. [DOCTOR] I don't know where it is. I don't know where they've gone. [DONNA] What are we looking for? [DOCTOR] It might be underground, like some sort of cave, or a cavern,or [COMPUTER] Warehouse Fifteen door open. [DOCTOR] All right? --------------------------------------- (Warehouse 15) [HALPEN] It's always been an option. My grandfatherdrew up this plan. That's the advantage of a family run business,Doctor Ryder. The personal touch. [RYDER] But we should evacuate. If we can get to the rocket sheds, wecan [HALPEN] No need. We've got this. Detonation packs. Place them aroundthe circumference. We'regoing to blow it up. This thing dies, so do the Ood. [DOCTOR] The Ood Brain. Now it all makes sense, That's the missing link.The third element, binding them together. Forebrain, hind brain, andthis, the telepathic centre. It's a shared mind, connecting all the Oodin song. [HALPEN] Cargo. I can always go into cargo. I've got the rockets, I'vegot the sheds. Smaller business. Much more manageable, withoutlivestock. [RYDER] He's mined the area. [DONNA] You're going to kill it? [HALPEN] They found that thing centuries ago beneath the NorthernGlacier. [DOCTOR] Those pylons. [DONNA] In a circle. The circle must be broken. [DOCTOR] Damping the telepathic field. Stopping the Ood from connectingfor two hundred years. [HALPEN] And you, Ood Sigma, you brought them here. I expected better. [SIGMA] My place is at your side, sir. [HALPEN] Still subservient. Good Ood. [DONNA] If that barrier thing's in place, how come the Ood startedbreaking out? [DOCTOR] Maybe it's taken centuries to adapt. The subconscious reachingout? [RYDER] But the process was too slow. It had to be accelerated. Youshould never give me access to the controls, Mister Halpen. I loweredthe barrier to its minimum. Friends Of The Ood, sir. It's taken me tenyears to infiltrate the company, and I succeeded. [HALPEN] Yes. Yes, you did. [DONNA] You murdered him. [HALPEN] Very observant, Ginger. Now, then. Can't say I've ever shotanyone before. Can't say I'mgoing to like it. But er, it's not exactly a normal day, is it? Still. [SIGMA] Would you like a drink, sir? [HALPEN] I think hair loss is the least of my problems right now,thanks. [SIGMA] Please have a drink, sir. [HALPEN] If, if you're going to stand in their way, I'll shoot you too. [SIGMA] Please have a drink, sir. [HALPEN] Have, have you poisoned me? [SIGMA] Natural Ood must never kill, sir. [DOCTOR] What is that stuff? [SIGMA] Ood graft suspended in a biological compound, sir. [HALPEN] What the hell does that mean? [DOCTOR] Oh, dear. [HALPEN] Tell me! [DOCTOR] Funny thing, the subconscious. Takes all sorts of shapes. Cameout in the red eye as revenge, came out in the rabid Ood as anger, andthen there was patience. All that intelligence and mercy, focused onOod Sigma. How's the hair loss, Mister Halpen? [HALPEN] What have you done? [DOCTOR] Oh, they've been preparing you for a very long time. And nowyou're standing next to the Ood Brain, Mister Halpen, can you hear it?Listen. [HALPEN] What have you? I'm not. [DONNA] They, they turned him into an Ood? [DOCTOR] Yep. [DONNA] He's an Ood. [DOCTOR] I noticed. [SIGMA] He has become Oodkind, and we will take care of him. [DONNA] It's weird, being with you. I can't tell what's right and what'swrong any more. [DOCTOR] It's better that way. People who know for certain tend to belike Mister Halpen. [DOCTOR] Oh! [DOCTOR] That's better. And now, Sigma, would you allow me the honour? [SIGMA] It is yours, Doctor. [DOCTOR] Oh, yes! Stifled for two hundred years, but not any more. Thecircle is broken. The Ood can sing. [DONNA] I can hear it! --------------------------------------- (Planet surface) [DOCTOR] The message has gone out. That songresonated across the galaxies. Everyone heard it. Everyone knows. Therockets are bringing them back. The Ood are coming home. [SIGMA] We thank you, Doctor Donna, friends of Oodkind. And what of younow? Will you stay? There is room in the song for you. [DOCTOR] Oh, I've, I've sort of got a song of my own, thanks. [SIGMA] I think your song must end soon. [DOCTOR] Meaning? [SIGMA] Every song must end. [DOCTOR] Yeah. Er, what about you? You still want to go home? [DONNA] No. Definitely not. [DOCTOR] Then we'll be off. [SIGMA] Take this song with you. [DONNA] We will. [DOCTOR] Always. [SIGMA] And know this, Doctor Donna. You will never be forgotten. Ourchildren will sing of the Doctor Donna, and our children's children,and the wind and the ice and the snow will carry your names forever.

And yes, I know, I've got a doctor who disappears offto distant places. Tell me about it. [DONNA] Is he skinny? [MARTHA] No, he's sort of strong. [DONNA] He is too skinny for words. You give him a hug, you get a papercut. [DOCTOR] Oh, I'd rather you were fighting. [MARTHA] Speaking of which. [WOMAN [OC]] Doctor Jones, report to base, please. Over. [MARTHA] This is Doctor Jones. Operation Blue Sky is go, go, go. Irepeat, this is a go. [SOLDIER] Unified Intelligence Taskforce. Raise that barrier, now! (Acar with Army top brass goes past, and they all go to the ATMOSfactory.) [SOLDIER] Leave those safeties on, lads. They're non-hostiles. [TANNOY] All workers, lay down your tools and surrender. [MARTHA] Greyhound Six to Trap One. B Section, go, go, go. Search theground floor. Grid pattern delta. [DOCTOR] What are you searching for? [MARTHA] Illegal aliens. [TANNOY] This is a UNIT operation. All workers lay down your tools andsurrender immediately. [MARTHA] B section mobilised. E section, F section, on my command. [DONNA] Is that what you did to her? Turned her into a soldier? --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [SKREE] As predicted, the UNIT forces have moved to the penultimatestage. [STAAL] Observe their troops. Thin fabrics, exposed skin, feebleweapons. These are toy soldiers. The playthings of children. --------------------------------------- (Industrial estate) [DOCTOR] And you're qualified now. You're a properdoctor. [MARTHA] UNIT rushed it through ,given my experience in the field. Herewe go. We're establishing a field base on site. They're dying to meetyou. [DOCTOR] Wish I could say the same. --------------------------------------- (Mobile HQ) [MARTHA] Operation Blue Sky complete, sir. Thanksfor letting me take the lead. And, this is the Doctor. Doctor, ColonelMace. [MACE] Sir. [DOCTOR] Oh, don't salute. [MACE] But it's an honour, sir. I've read all the files on you.Technically speaking, you're still on staff. You never resigned. [DONNA] What, you used to work for them? [DOCTOR] Yeah, long time ago. Back in the 70's. Or was it the 80's? Butit was all a bit more homespun back then. [MACE] Times have changed, sir. [DOCTOR] Yeah, that's enough of the sir. [MARTHA] Come on, though, Doctor. You've seen it. You've been on boardthe Valiant. We've got massive funding from the United Nations, all inthe name of Home World Security. [MACE] A modern UNIT for the modern world. [DONNA] What, and that means arresting ordinary factory workers, in thestreets, in broad daylight? It's more like Guantanamo Bay out there.Donna, by the way. Donna Noble, since you didn't ask. I'll have asalute. [MACE] Ma'am. [DONNA] Thank you. [DOCTOR] Tell me, what's going on in that factory? [MACE] Yesterday, fifty two people died in identical circumstances,right across the world, in eleven different time zones. Five a.m. inthe UK, six a.m. in France, eight a.m. in Moscow, one p.m. in China. [DOCTOR] You mean they died simultaneously. [MACE] Exactly. Fifty two deaths at the exact same moment, worldwide. [DOCTOR] How did they die? [MACE] They were all inside their cars. [MARTHA] They were poisoned. I checked the biopsies. No toxins. Whateverit is, left the system immediately. [DOCTOR] What have the cars got in common? [MARTHA] Completely different makes. They're all fitted with ATMOS, andthat is the ATMOS factory. [DOCTOR] What's ATMOS? [DONNA] Oh, come on. Even I know that. Everyone's got ATMOS. --------------------------------------- (ATMOS factory) [MARTHA] Stands for Atmospheric Omission System. FitATMOS in your car, it reduces CO2 emissions to zero. [DOCTOR] Zero? No carbon, none at all? [DONNA] And you get sat-nav and twenty quid in shopping vouchers if youintroduce a friend. Bargain. [MACE] And this is where they make it, Doctor. Shipping worldwide.Seventeen factories across the globe, but this is the central depot,sending ATMOS to every country on Earth. [DOCTOR] And you think ATMOS is alien. [MACE] It's our job to investigate that possibility. Doctor? [SOLDIER] Come on, look lively. Up the pace, go on. We haven't got allday now. --------------------------------------- (Office) [MACE] And here it is, laid bare. ATMOS can be threaded through any andevery make of car. [DOCTOR] You must've checked it, before it went on sale. [MARTHA] We did. We found nothing. That's why I thought we needed anexpert. [DOCTOR] Really. who'd you get? Oh, right. Me, yes. Good. [DONNA] Okay. So why would aliens be so keen on cleaning up ouratmosphere? [DOCTOR] A very good question. [DONNA] Maybe they want to help. Get rid of pollution and stuff. [DOCTOR] Do you know how many cars there are on planet Earth? Eighthundred million. Imagine that. If you could control them, you'd haveeight hundred million weapons. --------------------------------------- (Basement) [GRAY] We should head back. There's not much down here. Should be justboiler rooms, generators. [HARRIS] Aye, aye. What's this, then? [HARRIS] You two. All personnel have been ordered to evacuate. Thebuilding's under UNIT control. [WORKER] This area is out of bounds. [HARRIS] Excuse me, sunshine? I think you'll find we're in charge. Wecan do this the easy way, or the hard way. --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [SKREE] General Staal? They are close. [STAAL] Excellent. And like a good warrior, I shall enter the fraymyself. Let them pass. --------------------------------------- (Basement) [WORKER] It's open. [HARRIS] Oh. Come on. --------------------------------------- (Clone laboratory) [HARRIS] What the hell? [GRAY] Greyhound Sixteen to Trap One. We've found something. Basementcorridor, north side, grid thirty six. Request backup, over. [HARRIS] It's like something boiling inside. [GRAY] Don't touch it. [HARRIS] Come on, Steve. We get first rights on this. That meanspromotion. [GRAY] Just leave it alone. Wait for backup. [GRAY] What was that? [HARRIS] It came from inside. [GRAY] Could just be the machinery. [HARRIS] Is there someone in there? Hello? We've got to get this open. [GRAY] We should wait for the others. [HARRIS] You could suffocate in there. [GRAY] Greyhound Sixteen to Trap One, request immediate assistance.Repeat, immediate assistance, over. [HARRIS] How do you work this thing? Come on. [GRAY] Oh God, it stinks. [HARRIS] What the hell is that stuff? [GRAY] Identify yourself! Identify! Greyhound Sixteen declaring Absoluteemergency, sir. Repeat, Absolute emergency. Over. [HARRIS] Can you hear me? Can you understand me? Look at its neck. Lookslike an umbilical cord. [GRAY] Well, don't get too close. [HARRIS] I think it's harmless. I don't even think it's properly alive. [GRAY] It's going to drown. [HARRIS] No. I think it breathes this stuff, like some kind of embryo. [GRAY] What do you mean, an embryo? [HARRIS] Someone's growing a body. A human body. [STAAL [OC]] Excellent skills of deduction. [STAAL] I would rate you above average, soldier. Well done. Whereas you,you smell of sweat and fear. [HARRIS] Yeah? Well, we're not the ones who got out of school early,sonny. Now stop playing Humpty Dumpty and tell us who you are. [STAAL] Is that a reference to my height? [HARRIS] Short answer, yes. [STAAL] A pity. Words are the weapons of womenfolk. I must judge youunfit. [HARRIS] Oh, what you going to do, bite our ankles? [GRAY] I'm warning you! [STAAL] A proper soldier gives no warning. Fire. I order you. Fire. [STAAL] The room is contained within a cordolaine signal, exciting thecopper surface of the bullet and causing expansion within the barrel,rendering your guns useless. And your radio signals have been blocked. [GRAY] My legs. I can't feel my legs. [STAAL] I apologise for disabling you. Death has more honour, but youare needed for the stratagem. Prepare them for processing. You spoke ofpromotion. Now you will serve a greater cause. [HARRIS] Who are you? [STAAL] Indeed, know your enemy. I am General Staal of the TenthSontaran Battle Fleet. Known as Staal the Undefeated. [GRAY] Oh, my God, help us! --------------------------------------- (Office) [DOCTOR] Ionising nano-membrane carbon dioxide converter. Which meansthat ATMOS works. Filters the CO2 at a molecular level. [MACE] We know all that, but what's its origin? Is it alien? [DOCTOR] No. Decades ahead of its time. Look, do you mind? Could youstand back a bit? [MACE] Sorry, have I done something wrong? [DOCTOR] You're carrying a gun. I don't like people with guns hangingaround me, all right? [MACE] If you insist. [MARTHA] Tetchy. [DOCTOR] Well, it's true. [MARTHA] He's a good man. [DOCTOR] People with guns are usually the enemy in my books. You seemquite at home. [MARTHA] If anyone got me used to fighting, it's you. [DOCTOR] Oh right, so it's my fault. [MARTHA] Well, you got me the job. Besides, look at me. Am I carrying agun? [DOCTOR] Suppose not. [MARTHA] It's all right for you. You can just come and go, but some ofus have got to stay behind. So I've got to work from the inside, and bystaying inside, maybe I stand a chance of making them better. [DOCTOR] Yeah? That's more like Martha Jones. [MARTHA] I learned from the best. [DOCTOR] Well. [DONNA] Oi, you lot. All your storm troopers and your sonics. You'rerubbish. Should've come with me. [DOCTOR] Why, where have you been? [DONNA] Personnel. That's where the weird stuff's happening, in thepaperwork. Because I spent years working as a temp, I can find my wayround an office blindfold, and the first thing I noticed is an emptyfile. [DOCTOR] Why, what's inside it? Or what's not inside it? [DONNA] Sick days. There aren't any. Hundreds of people working here andno one's sick. Not one hangover, man flu, sneaky little shopping trip,nothing. Not ever. They don't get ill. [MACE] That can't be right. [DONNA] You've been checking out the building. Should've been checkingout the workforce. [MARTHA] I can see why he likes you. [DONNA] Mmm hmm. [MARTHA] You are good. [DONNA] Super temp. [MACE] Doctor Jones, set up a medical post. Start examining the workers.I'll get them sent through. [MARTHA] Come on, Donna. Give me a hand. --------------------------------------- (ATMOS factory) [DOCTOR] So this, this ATMOS thing. Where'd it comefrom? [MACE] Luke Rattigan himself. [DOCTOR] And himself would be? --------------------------------------- (Mobile HQ) [MACE] Child genius. Invented the Fountain Six search engine when he wastwelve years old. Millionaire overnight. Now runs the Rattigan Academy.A private school, educating students handpicked from all over theworld. [DOCTOR] A hothouse for geniuses. Wouldn't mind going there. I getlonely. --------------------------------------- (Personnel office) [DONNA] Do you think I should warn my mum about theATMOS in her car? [MARTHA] Better safe then sorry. [DONNA] I'll give her a call. [MARTHA] Donna. Do they know where you are? Your family. I mean, thatyou're travelling with the Doctor? [DONNA] Not really. Although my granddad sort of waved us off. I didn'thave time to explain. [MARTHA] You just left him behind? [DONNA] Yeah. [MARTHA] I didn't tell my family. I kept it all so secret, and it almostdestroyed them. [DONNA] In what way? [MARTHA] They ended up imprisoned. They were tortured. My Mum, my Dad,my sister. It wasn't the Doctor's fault, but you need to be careful.Because you know the Doctor. He's wonderful, he's brilliant, but he'slike fire. Stand too close and people get burnt. --------------------------------------- (Basement) [STAAL] Conditioning is complete. Now do your duty and advance theconquest. [GREY + HARRIS] Yes, sir. --------------------------------------- (Clone laboratory) [STAAL] General Staal returning. The stratagemadvances. [STAAL] The last days of planet Earth. --------------------------------------- (ATMOS factory) [DOCTOR] You are not coming with me. I want to talkto this Luke Rattigan, not point a gun at him. [MACE] It's ten miles outside London. How are you going to get there? [DOCTOR] Well then, get me a jeep. [MACE] According to the records you travel by Tardis. [DOCTOR] Yeah, but if there is a danger of hostile aliens, I think it'sbest to keep a super-duper time machine away from the front lines. [MACE] I see. Then you do have weapons, but you choose to keep themhidden. Jenkins? [JENKINS] Sir. [MACE] You will accompany the Doctor and take orders from him. [DOCTOR] Yeah, I don't do orders. [MACE] Any sign of trouble, get Jenkins to declare a Code Red. And goodluck, sir. [DOCTOR] I said no salutes. [MACE] Now you're giving orders. [DOCTOR] Oh, you're getting a bit cheeky, you are. [DONNA] Doctor. [DOCTOR] Oh, just in time. Come on, come on, we're going to the country.Fresh air and geniuses, what more could you ask? [DONNA] I'm not coming with you. I've been thinking. I'm sorry. I'mgoing home. [DOCTOR] Really? [DONNA] I've got to. [DOCTOR] Oh, if that's what you want. I mean, it's a bit soon. I had somany places I had wanted to take you. The Fifteenth Broken Moon of theMedusa Cascade, the Lightning Skies of Cotter Palluni's World, DiamondCoral Reefs of Kataa Flo Ko. Thank you. Thank you, Donna Noble, it'sbeen brilliant. You've, you've saved my life in so many ways. You're,(penny drops) you're just popping home for a visit, that's what youmean. [DONNA] You dumbo. [DOCTOR] And then you're coming back. [DONNA] Know what you are? A great big outer space dunce. [DOCTOR] Yeah. [JENKINS] Ready when you are, sir. [DONNA] What's more, you can give me a lift. Come on. Broken moon ofwhat? [DOCTOR] I know, I know. --------------------------------------- (Medical post) [MARTHA] And your name's Trepper, yeah? Is that Polish? Listen, we'renot checking passports. It's not about that. But did you come acrossfrom Poland just to work? [TREPPER] I came to do my job. [MARTHA] Okay. I need to listen to your heartbeat. This might be a bitcold. Lift. [MARTHA] Are you on any medication? [TREPPER] I'm here to work. [MARTHA] How many hours a day do you work? [TREPPER] Twenty four. [MARTHA] You work twenty four hours a day? Down. [MARTHA] Mister Trepper, have you ever had any form of hypnosis? [TREPPER] I'm here to work. [MARTHA] Okay. Er, if you could just wait here. --------------------------------------- (ATMOS Factory) [HARRIS] Doctor Jones. [MARTHA] Not now, I'm busy. [HARRIS] Just one question. Do you have security clearance level one? [MARTHA] Yes, I do. Why? [HARRIS] Colonel Mace wants to see you. [MARTHA] Oh good, because I want to see him. Where is he? [GREY] Come with us. --------------------------------------- (Rydale Street) [DONNA] I'll walk the rest of the way. I'll see you back at the factory,yeah? [DOCTOR] Bye! [DONNA] And you be careful! [OLD WOMAN] Haven't seen you for days. [DONNA] Yeah. Been away. [DONNA [memory]] I'm waving at fat. --------------------------------------- (Basement) [MARTHA] What's he doing down here? [GRAY] He asked to see you. [MARTHA] Why? Has he found something? --------------------------------------- (Nobles' home) [WILF] I said so, didn't I. Aliens. I said they wasreal. I just didn't expect them in a little blue box. [DONNA] It's bigger on the inside. [WILF] Yeah, but is it safe? This Doctor, are you safe with him? [DONNA] He's amazing, Gramps. He's just dazzling. And never tell him Isaid that. [WILF] No. [DONNA] But I'd trust him with my life. [WILF] Hold up, I thought that was my job. [DONNA] You still come first. [WILF] Well, for God's sake, don't tell your mother. [DONNA] I don't know. I mean, this is massive. Sort of not fair if shedoesn't know. [SYLVIA] Doesn't know what? And who's she, the cat's mother? Andwhere've you been these past few days, lady, after that silly littletrick with the car keys? I phoned Veena and she said she hadn't seenhide nor hair. [DONNA] I've just been travelling. [SYLVIA] Oh, hark at her, Michael Palin. Are you staying for tea,because I haven't got anything in. I've been trying to keep yourgranddad on that macrobiotic diet, but he sneaks off and gets pork piesat the petrol station. Don't deny it, I've seen the wrappers in thecar. Oh, I don't miss a trick. Now then, what were you going to tellme? What don't I know? [DONNA] Nothing. Just nothing. [SYLVIA] Good. Right, then you can sit there and cut out those coupons.Every penny helps. This new mortgage doesn't pay for itself. Dad,kettle on. [WILF] Yeah, kettle on. --------------------------------------- (Rattigan Academy) [JENKINS] UNIT's been watching Rattigan Academy for ages. It's all a bitHitler Youth. Exercise at dawn and classes and special diets. [ATMOS] Turn left. [DOCTOR] Ross, one question. If UNIT think that ATMOS is dodgy [ATMOS] Go straight on. [JENKINS] How come we've got it in the jeeps? Yeah, tell me about it.They're fitted as standard on all government vehicles. We can't get ridof them till we can prove there's something wrong. [ATMOS] Turn right. [JENKINS] Drives me around the bend. [DOCTOR] Oh, nice one. [JENKINS] Timed that perfectly. [DOCTOR] Yeah. Yeah, you did. [ATMOS] This is you final destination. [DOCTOR] Is it PE? I wouldn't mind a kick around, I've got me daps on. [RATTIGAN] I suppose you're the Doctor? [DOCTOR] Hello. [RATTIGAN] Your commanding officer phoned ahead. [DOCTOR] Ah, but I haven't got a commanding officer. Have you? Oh, thisis Ross. Say hello, Ross. [JENKINS] Good afternoon, sir. [DOCTOR] Let's have a look, then. I can smell genius! In a good way. --------------------------------------- (Academy laboratory) [DOCTOR] Oh, now, that's clever. Look. Singlemolecule fabric, how thin is that?! You could pack a tent in a thimble.Ooo! Gravity simulators. Terraforming, biospheres, nano-tech steelconstruction. This is brilliant. Do you know, with equipment like thisyou could, ooo, I don't know, move to another planet or something? [RATTIGAN] If only that was possible. [DOCTOR] If only that were possible. Conditional clause. [RATTIGAN] I think you'd better come with me. --------------------------------------- (Recreation area) [RATTIGAN] You're smarter than the usual UNIT grunts, I'll give youthat. [DOCTOR] He called you a grunt. Don't call Ross a grunt. He's nice. Welike Ross. Look at this place. [RATTIGAN] What exactly do you want? [DOCTOR] I was just thinking. What a responsible eighteen year old.Inventing zero carbon cars? Saving the world. [RATTIGAN] Takes a man with vision. [DOCTOR] Mmm, blinkered vision. Because ATMOS means more people driving.More cars, more petrol. End result, the oil'sgoing to run out faster than ever. The ATMOS system could make thingsworse. [RATTIGAN] Yeah. Well, you see, that's a tautology. You can't say ATMOSsystem because it stands for Atmospheric Emissions System. So you'rejust saying Atmospheric Emissions System system. Do you see, MisterConditional Clause? [DOCTOR] It's been a long time since anyone said no to you, isn't it? [RATTIGAN] I'm still right, though. [DOCTOR] Not easy, is it, being clever. You look at the world and youconnect things, random things, and think, why can't anyone else see it?The rest of the world is so slow. [RATTIGAN] Yeah. [DOCTOR] And you're all on your own. [RATTIGAN] I know. [DOCTOR] But not with this. Because there's no way you invented thisthing single handed. I mean, it might be Earth technology, but that'slike finding a mobile phone in the Middle Ages. No, no, I'll tell youwhat it's like. It's like finding this in the middle of someone's frontroom. Albeit it's a very big front room. [JENKINS] Why, what is it? [DOCTOR] Yeah, just looks like a thing, doesn't it? People don'tquestion things. They just say, oh, it's a thing. [RATTIGAN] Leave it alone. [DOCTOR] Me, I make these connections. And this, to me, looks like ateleport pod. --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [COMPUTER] Orbit now holding at five five six pointthree, sector two seven zero. [DOCTOR] Oh. [STAAL] We have an intruder. [DOCTOR] How did he get in, in tru da window? Bye, bye! --------------------------------------- (Recreation area) [DOCTOR] Ross, get out! Luke, you've got to come with me. [DOCTOR] Sontaran! That's your name, isn't it? You're a Sontaran. Howdid I know that, hey? Fascinating isn't it? Isn't that worth keeping mealive? [JENKINS] I order you to surrender in the name of the UnifiedIntelligence Taskforce. [DOCTOR] Well that's not going to work. Cordolaine signal, am I right?Copper excitation stopping the bullets. [STAAL] How do you know so much? [DOCTOR] Well. [STAAL] Who is he? [RATTIGAN] He didn't give his name. [DOCTOR] But this isn't typical Sontaran behaviour, is it? Hiding? Usingteenagers, stopping bullets? A Sontaran should face bullets withdignity. Shame on you. [STAAL] You dishonour me, sir. [DOCTOR] Yeah? Then show yourself. [STAAL] I will look into my enemy's eyes! [JENKINS] Oh, my God. [DOCTOR] And your name? [STAAL] General Staal, of the Tenth Sontaran Fleet. Staal theUndefeated. [DOCTOR] Oh, that's not a very good nickname. What if you do getdefeated? Staal the Not Quite So Undefeated Anymore But Never Mind? [JENKINS] He's like a potato. A baked potato. A talking baked potato. [DOCTOR] Now, Ross, don't be rude. You look like a pink weasel to him. [DOCTOR] The Sontarans are the finest soldiers in the galaxy, dedicatedto a life of warfare. A clone race, grown in batches of millions withonly one weakness. [STAAL] Sontarans have no weakness. [DOCTOR] No, it's a good weakness. [RATTIGAN] Aren't you meant to be clever? Only an idiot would provokehim. [DOCTOR] No, but the Sontarans are fed by a probic vent in the back oftheir neck. That's their weak spot. Which means, they always have toface their enemies in battle. Isn't that brilliant? They can never turntheir backs. [STAAL] We stare into the face of death. [DOCTOR] Yeah? Well, stare at this. [DOCTOR] Run! [RATTIGAN] What has you done? What has he done? [STAAL] Don't touch me. A Sontaran would rather be court martialled thanshow pain. I must return. [RATTIGAN] But he broke the teleport. [STAAL] Ha. Primitive sonic trickery. [STAAL] The device is now repaired. --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [STAAL] Our presence is known. Soldiers, we move toa war footing. [SKORR] I see you face battle open skinned, sir. Might I share thathonour? [STAAL] You may. [SKORR] Thank you. [RATTIGAN] How do you tell each other apart? [STAAL] We say the same of humans. [SKORR] Tell me, boy. How many ATMOS devices have been installed? [RATTIGAN] Er, they've gone worldwide, but only about half. [STAAL] Which means four hundred million cars converted. A fine arsenal. [SKORR] Is it sufficient to trigger the conversion? [RATTIGAN] More than enough, yeah. And the test signal proved that itworks! Fifty two deaths in the same second. Man, that is just so cool. [STAAL] Is the temperature significant? [RATTIGAN] No. That, that's just a phrase. But I'll get my people ready,General. Just tell me where and when. [STAAL] Have we infiltrated UNIT? [SKORR] The process is about to begin. [STAAL] Then you'll see it completed, Commander Skorr. Get to it. [SKORR] Yes, sir. --------------------------------------- (Clone laboratory) [MARTHA] Is someone going to tell me what the hell is going on? [MARTHA] Okay. So, listen. You're not the first aliens I've met. Justtell me who you are. [SKORR] Commander Skorr of the Tenth Sontaran Battle Fleet. Known asSkorr the Bloodbringer. [MARTHA] What have you done to those two? [SKORR] Simple hypnotic control, as with the factory drones. But withyou, we need something more complex. [MARTHA] What is that? [SKORR] Soon, that will be you. --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [SKREE] ATMOS devices operating at one hundred percent efficiency. Orbitnow holding at five five six point three, sector two seven zero. [STAAL] Continue. [STAAL] War can never come too soon. Take your last look, boy. [RATTIGAN] It was never big enough for me. [STAAL] I like your ambition. [RATTIGAN] That doctor, he was in a UNIT jeep. It should have ATMOSinstalled. [STAAL] You said you didn't know his name. [RATTIGAN] I don't. He just said doctor. Does that mean something? [STAAL] There is an enemy of the Sontarans known as the Doctor. Aface-changer. [RATTIGAN] Do you mean he's an alien too? [STAAL] Legend says that he led the battle in the last great Time War.The finest war in history and we weren't allowed to be a part of it.Oh, but this is excellent. The last of the Time Lords will die at thehands of the Sontaran empire, in the ruins of his precious Earth. --------------------------------------- (Clone laboratory) [SKORR] It is inadvisable to struggle. The femalehas a weak thorax. [MARTHA] But what are you doing? [SKORR] Completing mental transfer. The clone needs full memory access. [MARTHA] Clone? [MARTHA] You can't. [MARTHA] That's not. [SKORR] You will sleep, girl. Sleep, and keep the memories alive.Memories we can use in battle. --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [SKREE] We have the Doctor's vehicle. [STAAL] An ordinary death for such a remarkable enemy, but proceed. --------------------------------------- (Jeep) [DOCTOR] Greyhound Forty to Trap One. Repeat, canyou hear me? Over. [JENKINS] Why's it not working? [DOCTOR] It must be the Sontarans. If they can trace that, they canisolate the ATMOS. [ATMOS] Turn left. [DOCTOR] Try going right. [JENKINS] It said left. [DOCTOR] I know. So go right. [JENKINS] I've got no control. It's driving itself. It won't stop. [JENKINS] The doors are locked. [DOCTOR] Ah, it's deadlocked. I can't stop it. [JENKINS] Let me. [ATMOS] Turn left. [DOCTOR] The sat-nav's just a box, wired through the whole car. --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [RATTIGAN] Is he, is he going in the water? I loveit, with the water. --------------------------------------- (Jeep) [JENKINS] We're headed for the river. [DOCTOR] ATMOS, are you programmed to contradict my orders? [ATMOS] Confirmed. [DOCTOR] Anything I say, you'll ignore it? [ATMOS] Confirmed. [DOCTOR] Then drive into the river. I order you to drive into the river.Do it. Drive into the river. [ATMOS] Turn right. Left. [DOCTOR] Get down! [ATMOS] Left, right, left, right, left, left, right, left, right [DOCTOR] Oh, was that it? --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [SKREE] ATMOS terminated. Mission accomplished. TheDoctor is dead. [STAAL] Then prepare the weapons. Is the operative in place? --------------------------------------- (Clone laboratory) [MARTHA 2] Ready and waiting to advance the great Sontaran cause, sir. [SKORR] Then go to work. --------------------------------------- (Outside the Nobles' home) [DOCTOR] You would not believe the day I'm having. [JENKINS] I'll requisition us a vehicle. [DOCTOR] Anything without ATMOS. And don't point your gun at people. [WILF] Is it him? Is it him? Is it the Doctor? Ah, it's you! [DOCTOR] Who? Oh, it's you. [DONNA] What, have you met before? [WILF] Yeah, Christmas Eve. He disappeared right in front of me. [DONNA] And you never said? [WILF] Well, you never said. Wilf, sir. Wilfred Mott. You must be one ofthem aliens. [DOCTOR] Yeah, but don't shout it out. Nice to meet you properly, Wilf. [WILF] Oh, an alien hand. [DOCTOR] Donna, anything? [DONNA] She's not answering. What is it, Sontorans? [DOCTOR] Sontarans. But there's got to be more to it. They can't be justremote controlling cars. That's not enough. Is anyone answering? [DONNA] Hold on. --------------------------------------- (ATMOS Factory) [MARTHA 2] Don't tell me. Donna Noble. [DONNA [OC]] Martha. --------------------------------------- (Outside the Nobles' home) [DONNA] Hold on, he's here. [DOCTOR] Martha, tell Colonel Mace it's the Sontarans. They're in thefile. Code Red, Sontarans. But if they're inside the factory tell themnot to start shooting. UNIT will get massacred. I'll get back as soonas I can. --------------------------------------- (ATMOS Factory) [DOCTOR [OC]] You got that? [MARTHA 2] Code Red Sontaran. Gotcha. [MACE] Doctor Jones. Found anything yet? [MARTHA 2] No, sir. Nothing to report. --------------------------------------- (Outside the Nobles' home) [DONNA] But you tried sonicing it before. You didn't find anything. [DOCTOR] Yeah, but now I know it's Sontaran, I know what I'm lookingfor. [WILF] The thing is, Doctor, that Donna is my only grandchild. You gotto promise me you'regoing to take care of her. [DOCTOR] She takes care of me. [WILF] Oh yeah, that's my Donna. Yeah, she was always bossing us roundwhen she was tiny. The Little General we used to call her. [DONNA] Yeah, don't start. [WILF] And some of the boys she used to turn up with. Different oneevery week. Here, who was that one with the nail varnish? [DONNA] Matthew Richards. He lives in Kilburn now. With a man. [DOCTOR] Whoa. It's a temporal pocket. I knew there was something elsein there. It's hidden just a second out of sync with real time. [DONNA] But what's it hiding? [SYLVIA] I don't know, men and their cars. Sometimes I think if I was acar. Oh, it's you. Doctor what was it? [DOCTOR] Yeah, that's me. [WILF] What, have you met him as well? [SYLVIA] Dad, it's the man from the wedding. When you were laid up withSpanish flu. I'm warning you, last time that man turned up it was adisaster. [DOCTOR] Get back! --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [SKORR] A converter has been activated. [STAAL] Show me where. [RATTIGAN] London. That's Chiswick. [SKREE] Who could have such knowledge? [STAAL] Only the Doctor. He survived. Excellent! Then battle will bejoined. Glorious warfare. Tenth Sontaran Battle Fleet, we move to thefinal phase. Prepare the subjugation of Earth for the glory ofSontar. [SKREE] Announcing Battle Status One. All soldiers to positions. Repeat,we are now at Battle Status One. Rejoice! --------------------------------------- (Outside the Nobles' home) [DOCTOR] That'll stop it. [SYLVIA] I told you. He's blown up the car!. Who is he, anyway? Whatsort of doctor blows up cars? [DONNA] Oh, not now, Mum. [SYLVIA] Oh, should I make an appointment? [DOCTOR] That wasn't just exhaust fumes, Some sort of gas. Artificialgas. [WILF] And it's aliens, is it? Aliens? [DONNA] But if it's poisonous, then they've got poisonous gas in everycar on Earth. --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [STAAL] Free up the converters, and deadlock everysingle one! --------------------------------------- (Outside the Nobles' home) [WILF] It's not safe. I'm going to get it off the street. [DONNA] Hold on! Turn it off. Granddad, get out of there! [WILF] I can't! It's not locked! It's them aliens again! [SYLVIA] What's he doing? What's he done? [DOCTOR] They've activated it! --------------------------------------- (ATMOS Factory) [MACE] Turn them off! Turn them off! Turn off theengines! [SOLDIER] It's all of them, sir. Every single car on the planet. [MARTHA 2] Now we begin. Let's get to work. --------------------------------------- (Outside the Nobles' home) [DONNA] There's gas inside the car! He's going tochoke! Doctor! [DOCTOR] It won't open! It's the whole world. [WILF] Help me. --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [STAAL] Four hundred million weapons. Sontar-ha!Sontar-ha! [SONTARANS] Sontar-ha! Sontar-ha! --------------------------------------- (Outside the Nobles' home) [WILF] Get me out of here! [DONNA] Doctor!

Doctor Who (3 May, 2008; Tenth Doctor) - The Poison Sky [DONNA] He's going to choke. Doctor! [DOCTOR] It won't open. [SYLVIA] Well, don't just stand there. Get him out. --------------------------------------- (ATMOS Factory) [SOLDIER [OC]] All soldiers to withdraw. Make thefactory secure and take positions on the ground floor. [MACE] Wicowsky, take the soldiers into the factory. Make the areasecure. Seal off doors and windows. [SOLDIER] We've tried everything, it just won't stop. --------------------------------------- (Mobile HQ) [MACE] What have we got? [PRICE] ATMOS is running wild, sir. It can't be stopped, it'severywhere. The whole planet. --------------------------------------- (Outside the Nobles' home) [WILF] Thanks. [DONNA] I can't believe you've got an axe. [SYLVIA] Burglars. [DOCTOR] Get inside the house. Just try and close off the doors andwindows. [JENKINS] Doctor. This is all I could find that hasn't got ATMOS. [DOCTOR] Donna, you coming? [DONNA] Yeah. [SYLVIA] Donna. Don't go. Look what happens every time that Doctorappears. Stay with us, please. [WILF] You go, my darling. [SYLVIA] Dad! [WILF] Don't listen to her. You go with the Doctor. That's my girl. [WILF] Bye. --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [SKORR] Success. The operative has the necessaryinformation. [STAAL] Good work for a female. Now she must be protected. [SKORR] I will prepare an attack squad. [RATTIGAN] This is it, isn't it. Oh man, this is war! [STAAL] How does it feel, boy? [RATTIGAN] Magnificent. --------------------------------------- (Industrial estate) [NEWS 24] The Government has declared a state ofemergency. People are being told to stay away from all cars with ATMOSdevices attached. [AMNN] The gas appears to be toxic. We are warning anyone and everyone,stay away from the cars. Repeat, stay away from your cars. [DOCTOR] Ross, look after yourself. Get inside the building. [JENKINS] Will do. Greyhound Forty to Trap One. I have just returned theDoctor to base safe and sound. Over. (Martha 2 hears the message on herwalkie-talkie.) --------------------------------------- (Mobile HQ) [MACE] Trap One. Received. Over. [MARTHA 2] Sir. Message from the Doctor. He says Code Red Sontaran. [MACE] All troops. Code Red Sontaran. Code Red Sontaran. --------------------------------------- (Industrial estate) [DONNA] The air is disgusting. [DOCTOR] It's not so bad for me. Go on, get inside the Tardis. Oh, I'venever given you a key. Keep that. Go on, that's yours. Quite a bigmoment really. [DONNA] Yeah, maybe we can get sentimental after the world's finishedchoking to death. [DOCTOR] Good idea. [DONNA] Where are you going? [DOCTOR] To stop a war. --------------------------------------- (Mobile HQ) [DOCTOR] Right then, here I am. Good. Whatever youdo, Colonel Mace, do not engage the Sontarans in battle. There isnothing they like better than a war. Just leave this to me. [MACE] And what are you going to do? [DOCTOR] I've got the Tardis. I'm going to get on board their ship. [DOCTOR] (to Martha) Come on. --------------------------------------- (Industrial estate) [HARRIS] Ready for transport. --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [STAAL] The spoils of war. The Doctor's infamousvessel in Sontaran hands. [RATTIGAN] It's time I made a move, sir. I have soldiers of my own. I'lltell them of the honour and the glory, sir. I'll tell them thatPlanetfall is coming. [SKORR] He is behaving exactly as predicted, sir. [STAAL] None of the humans can guess our true purpose. --------------------------------------- (Industrial estate) [MARTHA 2] But where's the Tardis? [DOCTOR] Taste that, in the air. Yuck. That sort of metal tang. Teleportexchange. It's the Sontarans. They've taken it. I'm stuck on Earthlike, like an ordinary person. Like a human. How rubbish is that?Sorry, no offence, but come on. [MARTHA 2] So what do we do? [DOCTOR] Well, I mean, it's shielded. They could never detect it. [MARTHA 2] What? [DOCTOR] I'm just wondering, have you phoned your family and Tom? [MARTHA 2] No. What for? [DOCTOR] The gas. Tell them to stay inside. [MARTHA 2] Course I will, yeah but, what about Donna? I mean, where'sshe? [DOCTOR] Oh, she's gone home. She's not like you. She's not a soldier.Right. So. Avanti. --------------------------------------- (Rattigan Academy) [RATTIGAN] Leave it. Turn away. Civilisation is falling. [MAN] But it's all over the news, sir. It's everywhere. Paris and NewYork. [RATTIGAN] It's time I told you. All of you. It's time I revealed whatour work has been for. --------------------------------------- (Mobile HQ) [DOCTOR] Change of plan. [MACE] Good to have you fighting alongside us, Doctor. [DOCTOR] I'm not fighting. I'm not-fighting, as in not hyphen fighting,got it? Now, does anyone know what this gas is yet? [MARTHA 2] We're working on it. [PRICE] It's harmful, but not lethal until it reaches eighty percentdensity. We're having the first reports of deaths from the centre ofTokyo City. [DOCTOR] And who are you? [PRICE] Captain Marion Price, sir. [DOCTOR] Oh, put your hand down. Don't salute. [MACE] Jodrell Bank's traced a signal, Doctor, coming from five thousandmiles above the Earth. We're guessing that's what triggered the cars. [DOCTOR] The Sontaran ship. [MACE] NATO has gone to Defcon One. We're preparing a strike. [DOCTOR] You can't do that. Nuclear missiles won't even scratch thesurface. Let me talk to the Sontarans. [MACE] You're not authorised to speak on behalf of the Earth. [DOCTOR] I've got that authority. I earned that a long time ago. [DOCTOR] Calling the Sontaran Command Ship --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [DOCTOR [hologram]] Under Jurisdiction Two of theIntergalactic Rules of Engagement. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR [on scanner]] This is the Doctor. [DONNA] Doctor, I'm here. Can you hear me? --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [STAAL] Doctor, breathing your last? --------------------------------------- (Mobile HQ) [MACE] My God, they're like trolls. [DOCTOR] Yeah, loving the diplomacy, thanks. So, tell me, General Staal,since when did you lot become cowards? [STAAL [on monitor]] How dare you! [MACE] Oh, that's diplomacy? [STAAL [on monitor]] Doctor, you impugn my honour. [DOCTOR] Yeah, I'm really glad you didn't say belittle, because then I'dhave a field day. But poison gas? That's the weapon of a coward and youknow it. --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [DOCTOR [hologram]] Staal, you could blast thisplanet out of the sky --------------------------------------- (Mobile HQ) [DOCTOR] And yet you're sitting up above watching itdie. Where's the fight in that? Where's the honour? Or --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [DOCTOR [hologram]] Are you lot planning somethingelse, because this isn't normal Sontaran warfare. What are you lot upto? [STAAL] A general would be unwise to reveal --------------------------------------- (Mobile HQ) [STAAL [on monitor]] His strategy to the opposingforces. [DOCTOR] Ah, the war's not going so well, then. Losing, are we? [STAAL [on monitor]] Such a suggestion is impossible. [MACE] What war? [DOCTOR] The war between the Sontarans and the Rutans. It's been raging,far out in the stars, for fifty thousand years. Fifty thousand years ofbloodshed, and for what? --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [STAAL] For victory. Sontar-ha. --------------------------------------- (Mobile HQ) [STAAL [on monitor]] Sontar-ha. Sontar-ha.Sontar-ha. Sontar-ha. Sontar-ha. [DOCTOR] Give me a break. [MACE] Doctor. I would seriously recommend that this dialogue is handledby official Earth representation. [DOCTOR] Finished? [STAAL [on monitor]] You will not be so quick to ridicule when you'llsee our prize. Behold. We are the first Sontarans in history to capturea Tardis. [DOCTOR] Well, as prizes go, that's noble. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR [on scanner]] As they say in Latin, Donnanobis pacem. [DONNA] That's me. I'm here. [DOCTOR [on scanner]] Did you never wonder about its design? It's aphone box. It contains a phone. A telephonic device for communication.Sort of symbolic. Like, if only we could communicate, you and I. [STAAL [OC]] All you have communicated is your distress, Doctor. [DONNA] Oh, my God. --------------------------------------- (Mobile HQ) [DOCTOR] Big mistake though, showing it to me. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DONNA] But who do I phone? --------------------------------------- (Mobile HQ) (Spaceship) [STAAL] Cease transmission! --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DONNA] Doctor, what number are you on? [DONNA] You haven't even got a number. --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [STAAL] Remove the box from the War Room, beyond thetransmission field. --------------------------------------- (Mobile HQ) [DOCTOR] Ah, well. [MACE] That achieved nothing. [DOCTOR] Oh, you'd be surprised. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DONNA] But what do I do? --------------------------------------- (Academy laboratory) [RATTIGAN] All this stuff we've been building. Allthis invention. Where's it been heading? Gravity densifiers,hydroponics, atmospheric conversion, ecoshells. More then enough tobuild a brand new world. [MAN] Luke, we haven't got time for this. I've got to find my parents. [RATTIGAN] Oh, but this isn't just theory. I'm talking Planetfall, forall of us. A brand new start for a brand new human race. Look. A newworld, far out, beyond Alpha Geminorum, just waiting for us. Itsofficial destination is Castor Thirty Six. I think of it as Earth PointTwo. I did wonder about Rattigan's World, but we can take a vote onthat. [MAN] What the hell are you on about? [RATTIGAN] This is where we're going. I have partners willing to take usthere. [WOMAN] Oh, he's lost it. I haven't got time for this. [RATTIGAN] Excuse me, I haven't finished. Where are you going? [WOMAN] To find my brother. [RATTIGAN] I didn't say you could leave. [WOMAN] I told him to put ATMOS is his car. I've got to go and help him. [RATTIGAN] Stay where you are. [WOMAN] What do you think you're doing? [MAN] Luke, put that down. [RATTIGAN] But, I did this for you, don't you see? We've spent all ourlives excluded. The clever ones. They've laughed at us and pulled usdown, those ordinary people out there. Those cattle. This is our chanceto leave them behind. [MAN] You mean you want them dead? [RATTIGAN] And I chose you to survive. With Planetfall we can startagain. We can build and breed, we can prosper, we can do anything. [WOMAN] We're going to breed? [RATTIGAN] I've designed a mating program. I've planned the whole thing. [WOMAN] Well then, shoot me. [RATTIGAN] Stay where you are. Stay where you are, I said. Stay whereyou are. [RATTIGAN] Stay where you are. That's an order! [MAN] Castor Thirty Six? You're just sick. [RATTIGAN] I guess that just proves it. I'm cleverer then you. I'mcleverer then everyone, do you hear me? I'm clever! --------------------------------------- (Nobles' home) [NEWS 24] The United Nations has issued a directiveworldwide, telling urban populations to stay indoors. Those in ruralareas are being ordered to stay away from all major cities. There arereports from every country in Europe of thousands of people walkingacross country to escape. And on the Eastern seaboard of America it'ssaid to be reminiscent of Dunkirk, with boats taking refugees out intothe Atlantic. [AMNN] With the freeways blocked by ATMOS cars, populations of majorcities are now walking across open country to escape the fumes. It isbeing likened to a Biblical plague. Some are calling this the End ofDays. [DONNA [OC]] Mum, you all right? [SYLVIA] Donna. Where are you, sweetheart? [WILF] Is that her? [SYLVIA] Oh, just finish the job. Your granddad's sealing us in. He'ssealing the windows. Our own house, and we're sealed in. All thosethings they said about pollution --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [SYLVIA [OC]] And ozone and carbon, they're reallyhappening aren't they? [DONNA] There's people working on it, Mum. They're going to fix it, Ipromise. [SYLVIA [OC]] Oh, like you'd know. You're so clever. [DONNA] Oh, don't start. --------------------------------------- (Nobles' home) [DONNA [OC]] Please don't. [SYLVIA] I'm sorry. I wish you were here. [WILF] Now, come on, Sylvia. Look, that doesn't help. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [WILF [OC]] Donna, where are you? [DONNA] It's sort of hard to say. You all right? [WILF [OC]] Yeah. --------------------------------------- (Nobles' home) [WILF] Fighting fit, yeah. Is he with you, theDoctor? [SYLVIA] Oh, the Doctor. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DONNA] No. I'm all on my own. --------------------------------------- (Nobles' home) [WILF] Look, you promised he was going to look after --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [WILF [OC]] You. [DONNA] He will, Gramps. There's something he needs me to do. --------------------------------------- (Nobles' home) [DONNA [OC]] I just don't know what. [WILF] Well, I mean, the whole place is covered. The whole of London,they're saying. The whole, the whole world. It's the scale of it,Donna. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [WILF [OC]] I mean, how can one man stop all that? [DONNA] Trust me. He can do it. --------------------------------------- (Nobles' home) [WILF] Yeah, well, if he doesn't, you tell him he'llhave to answer to me. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DONNA] I will. Just as soon as I see him, I'll tellhim. --------------------------------------- (Nobles' home) [WILF] Huh. --------------------------------------- (Mobile HQ) [MARTHA 2] There's carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, butten percent unidentified. Some sort of artificial heavy element wecan't trace. You ever seen anything like it? [DOCTOR] It must be something the Sontarans invented. This isn't justpoison. They need this gas for something else. What could that be? [PRICE] Launch grid online and active. [MACE] Positions, ladies and gentlemen, Defcon One initiatives inprogress. [DOCTOR] What? I told you not to launch. [MACE] The gas is at sixty percent density. Eighty percent and peoplestart dying, Doctor. We've got no choice. [PRICE] Launching in sixty, fifty nine, fifty eight, fifty seven, fiftysix. Worldwide nuclear grid now coordinating. Fifty four, fifty three. --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [STAAL] Ha! The planet is going nuclear. I admirethem. The bravery of idiots is bravery, nonetheless. [SONTARAN] The operative is in place, sir. [STAAL] Commander Skorr. Is the attack squad ready? [SKORR] Ready and eager for battle, sir. We've been watching for longenough. It'll be good to taste blood. --------------------------------------- (Mobile HQ) [DOCTOR] You're making a mistake, Colonel. For once,I hope the Sontarans are ahead of you. [PRICE] North America, online. United Kingdom, online. France, online.India, online. Pakistan, online. China, online. North Korea, online.All systems locked and coordinated. Launching in ten, nine, eight,seven, six, five [MACE] God save us. [PRICE] Four, three, two, one. [PRICE] Zero. [MACE] What is it? What happened? Did we launch? Well, did we? [PRICE] Negative, sir. The launch codes have been wiped, sir. It must bethe Sontarans. [MACE] Can we override it? [PRICE] Trying it now, sir. [DOCTOR] Missiles wouldn't even dent that ship, so why are the Sontaransso keen to stop you? Any ideas? [MARTHA 2] How should I know? --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [STAAL] Now, protect the operative. --------------------------------------- (ATMOS factory) [JENKINS] It's stinking out there. Shush. Keep itdown lads. [JENKINS] Enemy within. At arms. Greyhound Forty declaring Absoluteemergency. --------------------------------------- (Mobile HQ) [JENKINS [OC]] Sontarans within factory grounds.East corridor, grid six. [MACE] Absolute emergency. Declaring Code Red. All troops, Code Red. [DOCTOR] Get them out of there. [MACE] All troops, open fire. --------------------------------------- (ATMOS factory) [JENKINS] Guns aren't working. Inform all troops,standard weapons do not work. [JENKINS] Tell the Doctor it's that cordolaine signal. --------------------------------------- (Mobile HQ) [JENKINS [OC]] He's the only one who can stop them. [MACE] Greyhound Forty, report. Over. Greyhound Forty, report. GreyhoundForty, report. [DOCTOR] He wasn't Greyhound Forty. His name was Ross. Now listen to me,and get them out of there! [MACE] Trap One to all stations. Retreat. Order imperative. Immediateretreat. --------------------------------------- (ATMOS factory) [SOLDIER] Retreat. Retreat. [GRAY + HARRIS] Reporting for duty, sir. [SKORR] This is too easy. They're running like slimebait from aspeelfox. This isn't war, this is sport. --------------------------------------- (Mobile HQ) [MACE] They've taken the factory. [DOCTOR] Why? They don't need it. Why attack now? What are they up to?Times like this, I could do with the Brigadier. No offence. [MACE] None taken. Sir Alistair's a fine man, if not the best.Unfortunately, he's stranded in Peru. [PRICE] Launch grid back online. [PRICE] They're inside the system, sir. It's coming from within UNITitself. [MACE] Trace it. Find out where it's coming from, and quickly. Gaslevels? [PRICE] Sixty six percent in major population areas, and rising. --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [SKORR [OC]] Commander Skorr reports victory withmany glorious deaths. [RATTIGAN] Sorry to report, sir, I've failed. They wouldn't come. Thestudents, they didn't have the imagination to believe. [STAAL] A pity. We've lost our target practice. [RATTIGAN] What do you mean? [STAAL] Upon arrival on board this ship, your students would have beenshot down. Perhaps they were more clever then you thought. [RATTIGAN] You promised. [STAAL] There was no Planetfall. Castor Thirty Six, indeed. We onlyneeded you for installation of the ATMOS system. [RATTIGAN] No, but I'm on your side. I did everything you wanted. Andit's not ATMOS system. That's a tautology. It's just ATMOS. [STAAL] Execute him. [STAAL] A coward's retreat. Now close all teleport links to Earth.Isolate them as they perish. --------------------------------------- (Mobile HQ) [MACE] Why are they defending the factory only after we were inside? [DOCTOR] Because they wanted UNIT here. You gave them something theyneeded. Something now hidden inside the factory. Something precious. [MACE] We've got to recover it. This cordolaine signal thing, how doesit work? [DOCTOR] It's the bullets. It causes expansion of the copper shell. [MACE] Excellent. I'm on it. [DOCTOR] For the billionth time, you can't fight Sontarans. [DOCTOR] (sotto) Phone. Have you got a phone? I need your mobile.Quickly, hurry up. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DONNA] What's happened? --------------------------------------- (Mobile HQ) [DONNA [OC]] Where are you? [DOCTOR] Still on Earth. But don't worry, I've got my secret weapon. [DONNA [OC]] What's that? [DOCTOR] You. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DONNA] Oh. Somehow that's not making me happy.Can't you just zap us down to Earth --------------------------------------- (Mobile HQ) [DONNA [OC]] With that remote thing? [DOCTOR] Yeah, I haven't got a remote, though I really should. I needyou on that ship. That's why I made them move --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR [OC]] The Tardis. I'm sorry --------------------------------------- (Mobile HQ) [DOCTOR] But you've got to go outside. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DONNA] But there's Sonteruns out there. --------------------------------------- (Mobile HQ) [DOCTOR] Sontarans. But they'll all be on battlestations right now. They don't exactly walk about --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR [OC]] Having coffee. I can talk you throughit. [DONNA] But what if they find me? --------------------------------------- (Mobile HQ) [DOCTOR] I know, and I wouldn't ask, but there'snothing else I can do. The whole planet is choking, Donna. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DONNA] What do you need me to do? [DOCTOR] The Sontarans are inside the factory which means they've got ateleport link with the ship, but they'll have deadlocked it. I need youto --------------------------------------- (Mobile HQ) [DOCTOR] Reopen the link. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DONNA] But I can't even mend a fuse. --------------------------------------- (Mobile HQ) [DOCTOR] Donna, stop talking about yourself likethat. You can do this. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR [OC]] I promise. [DONNA] There's a Sonterun. Sontaran. --------------------------------------- (Mobile HQ) [DOCTOR] Did he see you? --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DONNA] No, he's got his back to me. [DOCTOR [OC]] Right, Donna, listen. On the back of his neck --------------------------------------- (Mobile HQ) [DOCTOR] On his collar there's a sort of plug, likea hole. The Probic vent. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR [OC]] One blow to the Probic vent knocks'them out. [DONNA] But he's going to kill me. --------------------------------------- (Mobile HQ) [DOCTOR] I'm sorry. I swear I'm so sorry, but you'vegot to try. --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [DONNA] Back of the neck. [DOCTOR [OC]] Now then, you got to find the external junction feed tothe teleport. [DONNA] What, what's it look like? [DOCTOR [OC]] A circular panel on the wall. --------------------------------------- (Mobile HQ) [DOCTOR] Big symbol on the front, like a, like a --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [DOCTOR [OC]] Letter T with a horizontal linethrough it. Or, or, two Fs back to back. [DONNA] Oh. Well, there's a door. --------------------------------------- (Mobile HQ) [DOCTOR] Should be a switch by the side. --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [DONNA] Yeah there is. But it's Sontaran shaped, youneed three fingers. --------------------------------------- (Mobile HQ) [DOCTOR] You've got three fingers. --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [DONNA] Oh, yeah. --------------------------------------- (Mobile HQ) [DONNA [OC]] I'm through. [DOCTOR] Oh, you are brilliant, you are. --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [DONNA] Shut up. Right. --------------------------------------- (Mobile HQ) [DONNA [OC]] T with a line through it. [DOCTOR] Got to go. Keep the line open. [MACE] Counter attack. [DOCTOR] I said, you don't stand a chance. [MACE] Positions. That means everyone. [MARTHA 2] You're not going without me. [DOCTOR] Wouldn't dream of it. --------------------------------------- (Industrial estate) [MACE] Latest firing stock. What do you think,Doctor? [DOCTOR] Are you my mummy? [MACE] If you could concentrate. Bullets with a rad-steel coating. Nocopper surface. Should overcome the cordolaine signal. [DOCTOR] But the Sontarans have got lasers. You can't even see in thisfog. The night vision doesn't work. [MACE] Thank you, Doctor. Thank you for your lack of faith. But thistime, I'm not listening. [MACE] Attention, all troops. The Sontarans might think of us asprimitive, as does every passing species with an axe to grind. Theymake a mockery of our weapons, our soldiers, our ideals. But no more.From this point on, it stops. From this point on, the people of Earthfight back, and we show them. We show the warriors of Sontar what thehuman race can do. Trap One to Hawk Major. Go, go, go. [MACE] It's working. The area's clearing. Engines to maximum. [DOCTOR] It's the Valiant. [MACE] UNIT Carrier Ship Valiant reporting for duty, Doctor. Withengines strong enough to clear away the fog. [DOCTOR] Whoa, that's brilliant. [MACE] Getting a taste for it, Doctor? [DOCTOR] No, not at all. Not me. [MACE] Valiant, fire at will. --------------------------------------- (ATMOS factory) [MACE] East and north secure. Doctor? [MARTHA 2] Shouldn't we follow the Colonel? [DOCTOR] Nah, you and me, Martha Jones. Just like old times. [DOCTOR] Alien technology, this-a way. [SKORR] The honour of battle. The glory! --------------------------------------- (Basement) [DOCTOR] No Sontarans down here. They can't resist a battle. Here we go. --------------------------------------- (Clone laboratory) [DOCTOR] Oh, Martha, I'm so sorry. Still alive. [DOCTOR] Am I supposed to be impressed? [MARTHA 2] Wish you carried a gun now? [DOCTOR] Not at all. [MARTHA 2] I've been stopping the nuclear launch all this time. [DOCTOR] Doing exactly what I wanted. I needed to stop the missiles,just as much as the Sontarans. I'm not having Earth start aninterstellar war. You're a triple agent. [MARTHA 2] When did you know? [DOCTOR] About you? Oh, right from the start. Reduced iris contraction,slight thinning of the hair follicles on the left temple. And, frankly,you smell. You might as well have worn a T shirt saying clone.Although, maybe not in front of Captain Jack. You remember him, don'tyou? Because you've got all her memories. That's why the Sontarans hadto protect her, to keep you inside UNIT. Martha Jones is keeping youalive. [DOCTOR] It's all right, it's all right, I'm here, I'm here. I've gotyou, I've got you. [MARTHA] There was this thing, Doctor, this alien, with this head. [DOCTOR] Oh! Blimey, I'm busy. Got it? --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [DONNA] Yes. Now hurry up. [DOCTOR [OC]] Take off the covering. All the blue switches inside --------------------------------------- (Clone laboratory) [DOCTOR] Flick them up like a fuse box, and thatshould get the teleport working. [MARTHA] Oh, my God. That's me. --------------------------------------- (ATMOS factory) [MACE] You will face me, sir. [SKORR] Wonderful. --------------------------------------- (Clone laboratory) [MARTHA 2] Don't touch me. [MARTHA] It's not my fault. The Sontarans created you, but you had allmy memories. [MARTHA 2] You've got a brother, sister, mother and father. [MARTHA] If you don't help me, they're going to die. [MARTHA 2] You love them. [MARTHA] Yes. Remember that? [DOCTOR] The gas. Tell us about the gas. [MARTHA 2] He's the enemy. [MARTHA] Then tell me. It's not just poison, what's it for? Martha,please. [MARTHA 2] Caesofine concentrate. It's one part of Bosteen, two partsProbic five. [DOCTOR] Clonefeed. It's clonefeed! [MARTHA] What's clonefeed? [DOCTOR] Like amniotic fluid for Sontarans. That's why they're notinvading. They're converting the atmosphere, changing the planet into aclone world. Earth becomes a great big hatchery. Because the Sontaransare clones, that's how they reproduce. Give them a planet this big,they'll create billions of new soldiers. The gas isn't poison, it'sfood. [MARTHA 2] My heart. It's getting slower. [MARTHA] There's nothing I can do. [MARTHA 2] In your mind, you've got so many plans. There's so much thatyou want todo. [MARTHA] And I will. Never do tomorrow what you can do today, my mumsays, because [MARTHA 2] Because you never know how long you've got. Martha Jones. Allthat life. --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [DONNA] Doctor. Blue switches done, but they'vefound me. --------------------------------------- (Clone laboratory) [DOCTOR] Now! [DONNA] Have I ever told you how much I hate you? [DOCTOR] Hold on, hold on. Get off me, get off me. Got to bring theTardis down. [DOCTOR] Right, now. Martha, you coming? [MARTHA] What about this nuclear launch thing? [DOCTOR] Just keep pressing N. We want to keep those missiles on theground. [DONNA] There's two of them. [DOCTOR] Yeah, long story. Here we go. The old team, back together.Well, the new team. [DONNA] We're not going back on that ship! [DOCTOR] No, no, no. No. I needed to get the teleport working so that wecould get to --------------------------------------- (Rattigan Academy) [DOCTOR] Here. The Rattigan Academy, owned by [RATTIGAN] Don't tell anyone what I did. It wasn't my fault, theSontarans lied to me, they [DOCTOR] If I see one more gun [DONNA] You know, that coat sort of works. [MARTHA] I feel like a kid in my dad's clothes. [DONNA] Oh well, if you're calling him dad, you're definitely gettingover him. --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [SKREE] A human female on board ship. It could onlybe the Doctor's work and all the teleport systems have been deadlockedopen. [STAAL] No matter. Increase the ATMOS devices to maximum. Choke them.Behold, the cloneworld is born. --------------------------------------- (Nobles' home) [WILF] Oh, my little girl. Come on, we'll be all right. We'll be allright. Donna said so. She promised. Come on, darling. It's all right. --------------------------------------- (Academy laboratory) [DOCTOR] That's why the Sontarans had to stop the missiles. They wereholding back. Because caesofine gas is volatile, that's why they had touse you to stop the nuclear attack. Ground to air engagement couldspark off the whole thing. [MARTHA] What, like set fire to the atmosphere? [DOCTOR] Yeah. They need all the gas intact to breed their clone army.And all the time we had Luke here in his dream factory. Planning alittle trip, were we? [RATTIGAN] They promised me a new world. [DOCTOR] You were building equipment, ready to terraform El Mondo Lukoso that humans could live there and breathe the air with this. Anatmospheric converter. --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [STAAL] Prepare to launch clone pods. We will breedacross the surface of the Earth for the glory of Sontar. --------------------------------------- (Rattigan Academy) [DONNA] That's London. You can't even see it. Myfamily's in there. [DOCTOR] If I can get this on the right setting. [MARTHA] Doctor, hold on. You said the atmosphere would ignite. [DOCTOR] Yeah, I did, didn't I? [DOCTOR] Please, please, please, please, please, please, please. --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [SKREE] General Staal, sir. [STAAL] What's happening? --------------------------------------- (Rattigan Academy) [RATTIGAN] He's a genius. [MARTHA] Just brilliant. [DOCTOR] Now we're in trouble. --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [STAAL] It seems we must revert to Basic SontaranStratagem One. We will ravage this planet. Prepare weapons. Wipe themout. Every last stinking human beast. --------------------------------------- (Recreation area) [DOCTOR] Right. So, Donna, thank you for everything. Martha, you too.Oh, so many times. Luke, do something clever with your life. [DONNA ] You're saying goodbye. [DOCTOR] Sontarans are never defeated. They'll be getting ready for war.And, well, you know, I've recalibrated this for Sontaran air, so [MARTHA] You're going to ignite them. [DONNA] You'll kill yourself. [MARTHA] Just send that thing up on it's own. I don't know. Put it on adelay. [DOCTOR] I can't. [DONNA] Why not? [DOCTOR] I've got to give them a choice. --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [STAAL] Oh, excellent. [DOCTOR] General Staal, you know what this is. But there's one moreoption. You can go. Just leave. Sontaran High Command need never knowwhat happened here. [STAAL] Your stratagem would be wise if Sontarans feared death, but wedo not. At arms. [DOCTOR] I'll do it, Staal. If it saves the Earth, I'll do it. [STAAL] A warrior doesn't talk, he acts. [DOCTOR] I am giving you the chance to leave. [STAAL] And miss the glory of this moment? [SKREE [OC]] All weapons targeting Earth, sir. Firing in twenty. [DOCTOR] I'm warning you. [STAAL] And I salute you. Take aim. [DOCTOR] Shoot me, I'm still going to press this. You'll die, Staal. [STAAL] Knowing that you die too. [SKREE [OC]] Firing in fifteen. [STAAL] For the glory of Sontar. Sontar-ha. Sontar-ha. Sontar-ha. (etc.) [DOCTOR] I'll do it. [STAAL] Then do it! --------------------------------------- (Recreation area) [MARTHA] What are you doing? [RATTIGAN] Something clever. --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [SKREE [OC]] Ten, nine, eight, seven [SKREE [OC]] Six, five, four, three [RATTIGAN] Sontar-ha! [SKREE [OC]] Two, one. --------------------------------------- (Street) [SYLVIA] Morning. [WOMAN] Morning. [SYLVIA] Walked all the way. Won't catch me driving. --------------------------------------- (Nobles' home) [SYLVIA] The streets are half empty. People stillaren't driving. There's kids on bikes all over the place. It'swonderful. Unpack that lot, I'm going to see if Suzette's all right. [WILF] I won't tell her. Best not. Just keep it as our little secret,eh? [DONNA] Yeah. [WILF] And you go with him, that wonderful Doctor. You go and see thestars, and then bring a bit of them back for your old Gramps. [DONNA] Love you. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [MARTHA] How were they? [DONNA] Oh, same old stuff. They're fine. So, you going to come with us?We're not exactly short of space. [MARTHA] Oh, I have missed all this, but, you know. I'm good here, backat home. And I'm better for having been away. Besides, someone needsme. Never mind the universe, I've got a great big world of my own now. [DOCTOR] What? What? [MARTHA] Doctor, don't you dare! [DOCTOR] No, no, no. I didn't touch anything. We're in flight. It's notme. [DONNA] Where are we going? [DOCTOR] I don't know. It's out of control! [MARTHA] Doctor, just listen to me. You take me home. Take me home rightnow!

Doctor Who (10 May, 2008; Tenth Doctor) - The Doctor's Daughter [DONNA] What the hell's it doing? [DOCTOR] The control's not working. [DOCTOR] I don't know where we're going, but my old hand's very excitedabout it. [DONNA] I thought that was just some freaky alien thing. You telling meit's yours? [DOCTOR] Well. [MARTHA] It got cut off. He grew a new one. [DONNA] You are completely impossible. [DOCTOR] Not impossible. Just a bit unlikely. --------------------------------------- (Tunnel entrance) [DOCTOR] Why would the Tardis bring us here, then? [MARTHA] Oh, I love this bit. [DONNA] I thought you wanted to go home. [MARTHA] I know, but all the same, it's that feeling you get. [DONNA] Like you swallowed a hamster? [CLINE] Don't move! Stay where you are! Drop your weapons. [DOCTOR] We're unarmed. Look, no weapons. Never any weapons. We're safe. [SOLDIER] Look at their hands. They're clean. [CLINE] All right, process them. Him first. [DOCTOR] Oi, oi. What's wrong with clean hands? [MARTHA] What's going on? [DONNA] Leave him alone. [DOCTOR] Something tells me this isn't about to check my blood pressure.Argh! [DONNA] What are you doing to him? [CLINE] Everyone gets processed. [DOCTOR] It's taken a tissue sample. Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow. Andextrapolated it. Some kind of accelerator? [MARTHA] Are you all right? [DOCTOR] What on earth? That's just [CLINE] Arm yourself. [MARTHA] Where did she come from? [DOCTOR] From me. [DONNA] From you?. How? Who is she? [DOCTOR] Well, she's, well, she's my daughter. [JENNY] Hello, Dad. [CLINE] You primed to take orders? Ready to fight? [JENNY] Instant mental download of all strategic and military protocols,sir. Generation five thousand soldier primed and in peak physicalhealth. Oh, I'm ready. [DONNA] Did you say daughter? [DOCTOR] Mmm. Technically. [MARTHA] Technically how? [DOCTOR] Progenation. Reproduction from a single organism. Means oneparent is biological mother and father. You take a sample of diploidcells, split them into haploids, then recombine them in a differentarrangement and grow. Very quickly, apparently. [JENNY] Something's coming. [CLINE] It's the Hath! [JENNY] Get down! [CLINE] We have to blow the tunnel. Get the detonator. [DOCTOR] I'm not detonating anything. [CLINE] Blow the thing! Blow the thing! [DOCTOR] Martha! No. Don't. [DOCTOR] You've sealed off the tunnel. Why did you do that? [JENNY] They were trying to kill us. [DOCTOR] But they've got my friend. [JENNY] Collateral damage. At least you've still got her. He lost bothhis men. I'd say you came out ahead. [DONNA] Her name's Martha. And she's not collateral damage, not foranyone. Have you got that, GI Jane? [DOCTOR] I'm going to find her. [CLINE] You're going nowhere. You don't make sense, you two. No guns, nomarks, no fight in you. I'm taking you to General Cobb. Now, move. [MARTHA] Hold on, I've got you. Is it your arm, yeah? [MARTHA] Is that a yes? Let me examine it. Keep still. Still, yeah? Nomove. [MARTHA] Half fish, half human? How am I supposed to know? Is that ashoulder? Feels like a shoulder. I think it's dislocated. [MARTHA] I'm trying to help him. I am a doctor and he is my patient, andI'm not leaving him. Now, this is going to hurt. One, two, three. [MARTHA] Now, then. I'm Doctor Martha Jones. Who the hell are you? --------------------------------------- (Tunnel) [DONNA] I'm Donna. What's you name? [JENNY] Don't know. It's not been assigned. [DONNA] Well, if you don't know that, what do you know? [JENNY] How to fight. [DONNA] Nothing else? [DOCTOR] The machine must embed military history and tactics, but noname. She's a generated anomaly. [DONNA] Generated anomaly. Generated. Well, what about that? Jenny. [JENNY] Jenny. Yeah, I like that. Jenny. [DONNA] What do you think, Dad? [DOCTOR] Good as anything, I suppose. [DONNA] Not what you'd call a natural parent, are you? [DOCTOR] They stole a tissue sample at gunpoint and processed it. It'snot what I call natural parenting. [DONNA] Rubbish. My friend Nerys fathered twins with a turkey baster.Don't bother her. [DOCTOR] You can't extrapolate a relationship from a biologicalaccident. [DONNA] Er, Child Support Agency can. [DOCTOR] Look, just because I share certain physiological traits withsimian primates doesn't make me a monkey's uncle, does it? [JENNY] I'm not a monkey. Or a child. --------------------------------------- (Camp) [DOCTOR] So, where are we? What planet's this? [CLINE] Messaline. Well, what's left of it. [TANNOY] Six six three seventy five deceased. Generation six six sevenone, extinct. Generation six six seven two, forty six deceased.Generation six six eight zero, fourteen deceased. Generation six [DONNA] But this is a theatre. [DOCTOR] Maybe they're doing Miss Saigon. [DONNA] It's like a town or a city underground. But why? [DOCTOR] General Cobb, I presume. [COBB] Found in the western tunnels, I'm told, with no marks. There wasan outbreak of pacifism in the eastern zone three generations back,before we lost contact. Is that where you came from? [DOCTOR] Eastern zone, that's us, yeah. Yeah. I'm The Doctor, this isDonna. [JENNY] And I'm Jenny. [COBB] Don't think you can infect us with your peacemaking. We'recommitted to the fight, to the very end. [DOCTOR] Well, that's all right. I can't stay, anyway. I've got to goand find my friend. [COBB] That's not possible. All movement is regulated. We're at war. [DOCTOR] Yes, I noticed. With the Hath. But tell me, because we got abit out of circulation, eastern zone and all that. So who exactly arethe Hath? [COBB] Back at the dawn of this planet, these ancient halls were carvedfrom the earth. Our ancestors dreamt of a new beginning. A colony wherehuman and Hath would work and live together. [DOCTOR] So what happened? [COBB] The dream died. Broken, along with Hath promises. They wanted itall for themselves. But those early pioneers, they fought back. Theyused the machines to produce soldiers instead of colonists, and beganthis battle for survival. [DONNA] There's nothing but earth outside, why's that? Why buildeverything underground? [CLINE] The surface is too dangerous. [DONNA] Well, then why build windows in the first place? And what doesthis mean? [COBB] The rites and symbols of our ancestors. The meaning's lost intime. [DOCTOR] How long's this war gone on for? [COBB] Longer than anyone can remember. Countless generations markedonly by the dead. [DONNA] What, fighting all this time? [JENNY] Because we must. Every child of the machine is born with thisknowledge. It's our inheritance. It's all we know. How to fight, andhow to die. --------------------------------------- (Hath camp) [MARTHA] Right. So we're here? --------------------------------------- (Camp) [DOCTOR] Does this show the entire city, including the Hath zones? [COBB] Yes. Why? [DOCTOR] Well, it'll help us find Martha. [CLINE] We've more important things to do. The progenation machines arepowered down for the night shift, but soon as they're active, we couldbreed a whole platoon from you two. [DONNA] I'm not having sons and daughters by some great big flippingmachine. Sorry, no offence, but you're not. Well, I mean, you're notreal. [JENNY] You're no better than him. I have a body, I have a mind, I haveindependent thought. How am I not real? What makes you better than me? [COBB] Well said, soldier. We need more like you, if ever we're to findthe Source. [DOCTOR] Ooo, the Source. What's that, then? What's a Source? I like aSource. What is it? [COBB] The Breath of Life. [DOCTOR] And that would be? [CLINE] In the beginning, the great one breathed life into the universe.And then she looked at what she'd done, and she sighed. [JENNY] She. I like that. [DOCTOR] Right. So it's a creation myth. [COBB] It's not myth. It's real. That sigh. From the beginning of timeit was caught and kept as the Source. It was lost when the war started.But it's here, somewhere. Whoever holds the Source controls the destinyof the planet. [DOCTOR] Ah! I thought so. There's a suppressed layer of information inthis map. If I can just [DONNA] What is it, what's it mean? [DOCTOR] See? A whole complex of tunnels hidden from sight. --------------------------------------- (Hath camp) [MARTHA] Hold on. Look. --------------------------------------- (Camp) [COBB] That must be the lost temple. The Source willbe inside. You've shown us the way. And look, we're closer than theHath. It's ours. --------------------------------------- (Hath camp) [MARTHA] That's a new map. There's a different setof tunnels. --------------------------------------- (Camp) [COBB] Tell them to prepare to move out. We'llprogenate new soldiers on the morning shift, then we march. Once wereach the Temple, peace will be restored at long last. [DOCTOR] Er, call me old-fashioned, but if you really wanted peace,couldn't you just stop fighting? [COBB] Only when we have the Source. It'll give us the power to eraseevery stinking Hath from the face of this planet. [DOCTOR] Hang on, hang on. A second ago it was peace in our time. Nowyou're talking about genocide. [COBB] For us, that means the same thing. [DOCTOR] Then you need to get yourself a better dictionary. When you do,look up genocide. You'll see a little picture of me there, and thecaption will read, over my dead body. [COBB] And you're the one who showed us the path to victory. But you canconsider the irony from your prison cell. Cline, at arms. [DONNA] Oi, oi, oi. All right. Cool the beans, Rambo. [COBB] Take them. I won't have them spreading treason. And if you tryanything, Doctor, I'll see that your woman dies first. [DOCTOR] No, we're, we're not a couple. [DONNA] I am not his woman. [CLINE] Come on. This way. [DOCTOR] I'm going to stop you, Cobb. You need to know that. [COBB] I have an army and the Breath of God on my side, Doctor. What'llyou have? [DOCTOR] This. [COBB] Lock them up and guard them. [CLINE] What about the new soldier? [COBB] Can't trust her. She's from pacifist stock. Take them all. --------------------------------------- (Hath camp) [MARTHA] But I didn't do anything. [MARTHA] I think I just started a war. --------------------------------------- (Cell) [DONNA] More numbers. They've got to mean something. [DOCTOR] Makes as much sense as the Breath of Life story. [JENNY] You mean that's not true? [DONNA] No, it's a myth. Isn't it, Doctor? [DOCTOR] Yes, but there could still be something real in that temple.Something that's become a myth. A piece of technology, a weapon. [DONNA] So the Source could be a weapon and we've just given directionsto Captain Nutjob? [DOCTOR] Oh, yes. [DONNA] Not good, is it? [DOCTOR] That's why we need to get out of here, find Martha and stopCobb from slaughtering the Hath. What, what are you, what are you, whatare you staring at? [JENNY] You keep insisting you're not a soldier, but look at you,drawing up strategies like a proper general. [DOCTOR] No, no. I'm trying to stop the fighting. [JENNY] Isn't every soldier? [DOCTOR] Well, I suppose, but that's, that's. Technically, I haven't gottime for this. Donna, give me your phone. Time for an upgrade. [JENNY] And now you've got a weapon. [DOCTOR] It's not a weapon. [JENNY] But you're using it to fight back. I'm going to learn so muchfrom you. You are such a soldier. [DOCTOR] Donna, will you tell her? [DONNA] Oh, you are speechless. I'm loving this. You keep on, Jenny. --------------------------------------- (Hath camp) [MARTHA] Doctor? --------------------------------------- (Cell) [DOCTOR] Martha, you're alive! --------------------------------------- (Hath camp) [MARTHA] Doctor! Oh, am I glad to hear your voice.Are you all right? --------------------------------------- (Cell) [DOCTOR] I'm with Donna. We're fine. What about you? [DONNA] And, and Jenny. She's fine too. [DOCTOR] Yes, all right. And, and Jenny. That's the woman from themachine. The soldier. My daughter, except she isn't, she's, she's.Anyway. where are you? --------------------------------------- (Hath camp) [MARTHA] I'm in the Hath camp. I'm okay, butsomething's going on. The Hath are all marching off to some placethat's appeared --------------------------------------- (Cell) [MARTHA [OC]] On this map thing. [DOCTOR] Oh, that was me. If both armies are heading that way, there'sgoing to be a bloodbath. --------------------------------------- (Hath camp) [MARTHA] What do you want me to do? [DOCTOR [OC]] Just stay where you are. --------------------------------------- (Cell) [DOCTOR] If you're safe there, don't move, do youhear? [MARTHA [OC]] But --------------------------------------- (Hath camp) [MARTHA] I can help. [MARTHA] Doctor? Doctor. --------------------------------------- (Camp) [COBB] The doors that have been closed will be opento us now. The door to the Temple, to the Source, and to victory. [COBB] Come the dawn cycle, we march. --------------------------------------- (Cell) [SOLDIERS [OC]] To war! [DOCTOR] They're getting ready to move out. We have to get past thatguard. [JENNY] I can deal with him. [DOCTOR] No, no, no, no. You're not going anywhere. [JENNY] What? [DOCTOR] You belong here with them. [DONNA] She belongs with us. With you. She's your daughter. [DOCTOR] She's a soldier. She came out of that machine. [DONNA] Oh yes, I know that bit. Listen, have you got that stethoscope?Give it to me. Come on. [JENNY] What are you doing? [DONNA] It's all right. Just hold still. [DONNA] Come here. Listen, and then tell me where she belongs. [DOCTOR] Two hearts. [DONNA] Exactly. [JENNY] What's going on? [DONNA] Does that mean she's a, what do you call a female Time Lord? [JENNY] What's a Time Lord? [DOCTOR] It's who I am. It's where I'm from. [JENNY] And I'm from you. [DOCTOR] You're an echo, that's all. A Time Lord is so much more. A sumof knowledge, a code, a shared history, a shared suffering. Only it'sgone now, all of it. Gone forever. [JENNY] What happened? [DOCTOR] There was a war. [JENNY] Like this one? [DOCTOR] Bigger. Much bigger. [JENNY] And you fought, and killed? [DOCTOR] Yes. [JENNY] Then how are we different? --------------------------------------- (Hath camp) [MARTHA] I need to charge it up. I need power. Do you understand? [MARTHA] There's even more? In 3D. Oh, you're a clever Hath. So this iswhere everybody's headed? But look, those tunnels sort of zig-zag. If Iwent up and over the surface in a straight line, I'd get there first. [MARTHA] Why not? [MARTHA] Are these readings for the surface? Well, it doesn't look toobad. Nitrogen and oxygen about eighty twenty. That's fine. Ozone levelsare high, and some big radiation spikes. But as long as I'm not outthere too long. [MARTHA] I have to find my friends. [MARTHA] Come on, then. --------------------------------------- (Cell) [JENNY] Hey. [CLINE] I'm not supposed to talk to you. I'm on duty. [JENNY] I know. Guarding me. So, does that mean I'm dangerous, or that Ineed protecting? [CLINE] Protecting from what? [JENNY] Oh, I don't know. Men like you? [JENNY] Keep quiet and open the door. [DONNA] I'd like to see you try that. --------------------------------------- (Stairs) [DOCTOR] That's the way out. [DOCTOR] Don't you dare. [DONNA] Let me distract this one. I have picked up a few womanly wilesover the years. [DOCTOR] Let's save your wiles for later. In case of emergency. [DOCTOR] I was going to distract him, not clobber him. [JENNY] Well, it worked, didn't it? [DOCTOR] They must all have a copy of that new map. Just stay there.Don't hurt anyone. --------------------------------------- (Staircase) [MARTHA] You can stay down here and live your whole life in the shadows,or come with me and stand in the open air. Feel the wind on your face.What's it going to be? It's up to you. But nothing's going to stop me. --------------------------------------- (Planet surface) [MARTHA] I knew you couldn't resist it. [MARTHA] Er, language. Come on. --------------------------------------- (Cell) [CLINE] It was the girl. She tricked me. They, they got away. I'm sorry. [COBB] I've waited all my life for this moment. No one's going to get inmy way. Certainly not this Doctor. At arms! We march to war. --------------------------------------- (Tunnel) [DOCTOR] Wait. This is it. The hidden tunnel. There must be a controlpanel. [DONNA] It's another one of those numbers. They're everywhere. [DOCTOR] The original builders must have left them. Some old cataloguingsystem. [DONNA] You got a pen? Bit of paper? Because, do you see, the numbersare counting down. This one ends in one four. The prison cell said onesix. [JENNY] Always thinking, both of you. Who are you people? [DOCTOR] I told you. I'm the Doctor. [JENNY] The Doctor. That's it? [DONNA] That's all he ever says. [JENNY] So, you don't have a name either? Are you an anomaly, too? [DOCTOR] No. [DONNA] Oh, come off it. You're the most anomalous bloke I've ever met. [DOCTOR] Here it is. [JENNY] And Time Lords. What are they for, exactly? [DOCTOR] For? They're not, they're not for anything. [JENNY] So what do you do? [DOCTOR] I travel through time and space. [DONNA] He saves planets, rescues civilisations, defeats terriblecreatures. And runs a lot. Seriously, there's an outrageous amount ofrunning involved. [DOCTOR] Got it! [COBB [OC]] Squad five, with me. [DOCTOR] Now, what were you saying about running? --------------------------------------- (Passageway) [DONNA] That's not mood lighting, is it? [DONNA] No, I didn't think so. [DOCTOR] Arming device. [DONNA] There's more of these. Always eight numbers, counting down thecloser we get. [DOCTOR] Right, here we go. [DONNA] You'd better be quick. [COBB [OC]] Corridor. [JENNY] The General. [DOCTOR] Where are you going? [JENNY] I can hold them up. [DOCTOR] No, we don't need any more dead. [JENNY] But it's them or us. [DOCTOR] It doesn't mean you have to kill them. [JENNY] I'm trying to save your life. [DOCTOR] Listen to me. The killing. After a while, it infects you. Andonce it does, you're never rid of it. [JENNY] We don't have a choice. [DOCTOR] We always have a choice. [JENNY] I'm sorry. [DOCTOR] Jenny. [SOLDIER [OC]] This door, now. [SOLDIER [OC]] There she is. At arms. Fire! [DOCTOR] I told you. Nothing but a soldier. [DONNA] She's trying to help. [DOCTOR [OC]] Jenny, come on. [JENNY] I'm coming. [COBB] Cease fire. Cease fire. [DONNA] That's it. [DOCTOR] Jenny, leave it! Let's go. [COBB] You're a child of the machine. You're on my side. Join us. Joinus in the war against the Hath. It's in your blood, girl. Don't denyit. [DOCTOR] Jenny, come on. That's it. [DONNA] Hurry up. [DOCTOR] No, no, no, no, no, no. The circuit's looped back. [DONNA] Zap it back again. [DOCTOR] The controls are back there. [JENNY] They're coming. [DOCTOR] Wait. Just. There isn't. Jenny, I can't [JENNY] I'll have to manage on my own. Watch and learn, Father. [DONNA] No way. But that was impossible. [DOCTOR] Not impossible. Just a bit unlikely. Brilliant! You werebrilliant. Brilliant. [JENNY] I didn't kill him. General Cobb, I could have kill him but Ididn't. You were right. I had a choice. [COBB] At arms. [DOCTOR] I warned you, Cobb. If the Source is a weapon, I'm going tomake sure you never use it. [COBB] One of us is going to die today and it won't be me. --------------------------------------- (Planet surface) [MARTHA] It can't be much further. [MARTHA] Help me! I'm sinking. I'm sinking. Help me, Peck. Help me. Helpme, Peck. I'm sinking. I'm sinking. [MARTHA] Oh no! No! --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [JENNY] So, you travel together, but you're nottogether? [DONNA] What? No. No. No way. No, no, we're friends, that's all. I mean,we're not even the same species. There's probably laws against it. [JENNY] And what's it like, the travelling? [DONNA] Oh, never a dull moment. It can be terrifying, brilliant andfunny, sometimes all at the same time. I've seen some amazing thingsthough. Whole new worlds. [JENNY] Oh, I'd love to see new worlds. [DONNA] You will. Won't she, Doctor? [DOCTOR] Hmm? [DONNA] Do you think Jenny will see any new worlds? [DOCTOR] I suppose so. [JENNY] You mean. You mean you'll take me with you? [DOCTOR] Well, we can't leave you here, can we? [JENNY] Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you. Come on, let's get a moveon. [DOCTOR] Careful, there might be traps. [DONNA] Kids. They never listen. Oh, I know that look. I see it a lotround our way. Blokes with pushchairs and frowns. You've got dad-shock. [DOCTOR] Dad-shock? [DONNA] Sudden unexpected fatherhood. Take a bit of getting used to. [DOCTOR] No, it's not that. [DONNA] Well, what is it then? Having Jenny in the Tardis, is that it?What's shegoing to do, cramp your style? Like you've got a sports car and she'sgoing to turn it into a people-carrier? [DOCTOR] Donna, I've been a father before. [DONNA] What? [DOCTOR] I lost all that a long time ago, along with everything else. [DONNA] I'm sorry. I didn't know. Why didn't you tell me? You talk allthe time, but you don't say anything. [DOCTOR] I know. I'm just. When I look at her now, I can see them. Thehole they left, all the pain that filled it. I just don't know if I canface that every day. [DONNA] It won't stay like that. She'll help you. We both will. [DOCTOR] But when they died, that part of me died with them. It'll nevercome back. Not now. [DONNA] I tell you something, Doctor. Something I've never told youbefore. I think you're wrong. [JENNY] They've blasted through the beams. Time to run again. Love therunning. Yeah? [DOCTOR] Love the running. [DONNA] We're trapped. [DOCTOR] Can't be. This must be the Temple. This is a door. [DONNA] And again. We're down to one two now [DOCTOR] I've got it! [JENNY] I can hear them. [DOCTOR] Nearly done. [DONNA] These can't be a cataloguing system. [JENNY] They're getting closer. [DOCTOR] Then get back here. [DONNA] They're too similar. Too familiar. [JENNY] Not yet. [DOCTOR] Now! Got it. [JENNY] They're coming. Close the door. --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [JENNY] Oh, that was close. [DOCTOR] No fun otherwise. [DONNA] It's not what I'd call a temple. [JENNY] It looks more like [DOCTOR] Fusion drive transport. It's a spaceship. [DONNA] What, the original one? The one the first colonists arrived in? [DOCTOR] Well, it could be, but the power cells would have run downafter all that time. This one's still powered-up and functioning. Comeon. [JENNY] It's the Hath. That door's not going to last much longer. And ifGeneral Cobb gets through down there, war'sgoing to break out. [DOCTOR] Look, look, look, look, look. Ship's log. [DOCTOR] (reads) First wave of Human/Hath co-colonisation of planetMessaline. [JENNY] So it is the original ship. [DONNA] What happened? [DOCTOR] Phase one, construction. They used robot drones to build thecity. [DONNA] But does it mention the war? [DOCTOR] Final entry. (reads) Mission commander dead. Still no agreementon who should assume leadership. Hath and humans have divided intofactions. That must be it. A power vacuum. The crew divided into twofactions and turned on each other. Start using the progenationmachines, suddenly you've got two armies fighting a never-ending war. [JENNY] Two armies who are now both outside. [DONNA] Look at that. [DOCTOR] It's like the numbers in the tunnels. [DONNA] No, no, no, no. But listen, I spent six months working as a tempin Hounslow Library, and I mastered the Dewey Decimal System in twodays flat. I'm good with numbers. It's staring us in the face. [JENNY] What is? [DONNA] It's the date. Assuming the first two numbers are some big oldspace date, then you've got year, month, day. It's the other way round,like it is in America [DOCTOR] Oh! It's the New Byzantine Calendar. [DONNA] The codes are completion dates for each section. They finish it,they stamp the date on. So the numbers aren't counting down, they'regoing out from here, day by day, as the city got built. [DOCTOR] Yes. Oh, good work, Donna. [DONNA] Yeah. But you're still not getting it. The first number I sawback there, was sixty twelve oh seven seventeen. Well, look at the datetoday. [DOCTOR] Oh seven twenty four. No. [JENNY] What does it mean? [DOCTOR] Seven days. [DONNA] That's it. Seven days. [DOCTOR] Just seven days. [JENNY] What do you mean, seven days? [DOCTOR] Seven days since war broke out. [DONNA] This war started seven days ago. Just a week. A week! [JENNY] They said years. [DONNA] No, they said generations. And if they're all like you, andthey're products of those machines [DOCTOR] They could have twenty generations in a day. Each generationgets killed in the war, passes on the legend. Oh, Donna, you're agenius. [JENNY] But all the buildings, the encampments. They're in ruins. [DOCTOR] No, they're not ruined. They're just empty. Waiting to bepopulated. Oh, they've mythologised their entire history. The Sourcemust be part of that too. Come on. [MARTHA] Doctor! [DOCTOR] Martha! Oh, I should have known you wouldn't stay away from theexcitement. [MARTHA] Donna. [DONNA] Oh, you're filthy. What happened?. [MARTHA] I, er, took the surface route. [COBB [OC]] Positions. [DOCTOR] That's the General. We haven't got much time. [DONNA] We don't even know what we're looking for. [MARTHA] Is it me, or can you smell flowers? [COBB [OC]] Maintain defensive positions. [DOCTOR] Yes. Bougainvillea. I say we follow our nose. [COBB [OC]] Squads seven to ten, advance. With me. --------------------------------------- (Hydroponics) [DOCTOR] Oh, yes. Yes. Isn't this brilliant? [DONNA] Is that the Source? [JENNY] It's beautiful. [MARTHA] What is it? [DOCTOR] Terraforming. It's a third generation terraforming device. [DONNA] So why are we suddenly in Kew Gardens? [DOCTOR] Because that's what it does. All this, only bigger. Muchbigger. It's in a transit state. Producing all this must help keep itstable before they finally [DOCTOR] Stop! Hold your fire! [COBB] What is this, some kind of trap? [DOCTOR] You said you wanted this war over. [COBB] I want this war won. [DOCTOR] You can't win. No one can. You don't even know why you're here.Your whole history, it's just Chinese whispers, getting more distortedthe more it's passed on. This is the Source. This is what you'refighting over. A device to rejuvenate a planet's ecosystem. It'snothing mystical. It's from a laboratory, not some creator. It's abubble of gases. A cocktail of stuff for accelerated evolution.Methane, hydrogen, ammonia, amino acids, proteins, nucleic acids. It'sused to make barren planets habitable. Look around you. It's not forkilling, it's bringing life. If you allow it, it can lift you out ofthese dark tunnels and into the bright, bright sunlight. No morefighting, no more killing. [DOCTOR] I'm the Doctor, and I declare this war is over. [JENNY] What's happening? [DOCTOR] The gases will escape and trigger the terraforming process. [JENNY] What does that mean? [DOCTOR] It means a new world. [JENNY] No! [DOCTOR] Jenny? Jenny. Talk to me, Jenny. [DONNA] Is she going to be all right? [JENNY] A new world. It's beautiful. [DOCTOR] Jenny, be strong now. You need to hold on, do you hear me?We've got things to do, you and me, hey? Hey? We can go anywhere.Everywhere. You choose. [JENNY] That sounds good. [DOCTOR] You're my daughter, and we've only just got started. You'regoing to be great. You'regoing to be more than great. You're going to be amazing. You hear me?Jenny? [DOCTOR] Two hearts. Two hearts. She's like me. If we wait. If we justwait. [MARTHA] There's no sign, Doctor. There is no regeneration. She's likeyou, but maybe not enough. [DOCTOR] No. Too much. That's the truth of it. She was too much like me. [DOCTOR] I never would. Have you got that? I never would. When you startthis new world, this world of Human and Hath, remember that. Make thefoundation of this society a man who never would. --------------------------------------- (Camp) [MARTHA] It's happening. The terraforming. [DONNA] Build a city, nice and safe underground, strip away the top soiland there it is. And what about Jenny? [CLINE] Let us give her a proper ceremony. I think it'd help us. Please. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] Jenny was the reason for the Tardisbringing us here. It just got here too soon, which then created Jennyin the first place. Paradox. An endless paradox. Time to go home? [MARTHA] Yeah. Home. --------------------------------------- (Street) [DONNA] Are you sure about this? [MARTHA] Yeah, positive. I can't do this any more. You'll be the sameone day. [DONNA] Not me. Never. How could I ever go back to normal life afterseeing all this? I'mgoing to travel with that man for ever. [MARTHA] Good luck. [DONNA] And you. [DOCTOR] We're making a habit of this. [MARTHA] Yeah. And you'd think it'd get easier. All those things you'vebeen ready to die for. I thought for a moment there you'd finally foundsomething worth living for. [DOCTOR] Oh there's always something worth living for, Martha. [MARTHA] Bye, Doctor. [DOCTOR] Goodbye. Doctor Jones. --------------------------------------- (Camp) [JENNY] Hello, boys. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [CLINE] The shuttle. Jenny? --------------------------------------- (Shuttle) [CLINE [OC]] What're you doing? Come back. [JENNY] Sorry. Can't stop. What you going to do --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [CLINE] But where are you going? --------------------------------------- (Shuttle) [JENNY] Oh, I've got the whole universe. [JENNY] Planets to save, civilisations to rescue, creatures to defeat,and an awful lot of running to do.

Doctor Who (17 May, 2008; Tenth Doctor) - The Unicorn and The Wasp [DOCTOR] Oh, smell that air. Grass and lemonade. And a little bit ofmint. A hint of mint. Must be the nineteen twenties. [DONNA] You can tell what year it is just by smelling? [DOCTOR] Oh, yeah. [DONNA] Or maybe that big vintage car coming up the drive gave it away. [GREEVES] The Professor's baggage, Richard. Step lively. [GREEVES] Good afternoon, Professor Peach. [PEACH] Hello, Greeves, old man. [PEACH] Ah, Reverend. [GOLIGHTLY] Professor Peach. Beautiful day. The Lord's in his heaven,all's right with the world. [GREEVES] Reverend Golightly. Lady Eddison requests you make yourselvescomfortable in your rooms. Cocktails will be served on the lawn fromhalf past four. [PEACH] You go on up. I need check something in the library. [GOLIGHTLY] Oh? [PEACH] Alone. [GOLIGHTLY] It's supposed to be a party. All this work will be the deathof you. [DONNA] Never mind Planet Zog. A party in the nineteen twenties, that'smore like it. [DOCTOR] The trouble is, we haven't been invited. Oh, I forgot. Yes, wehave. --------------------------------------- (Library) [PEACH] I was right. Kept secret all these years. It's unbelievable. Butwhy didn't they ask? Heavens! [PEACH] Oh, it's you. I was just doing a little research. I say, whatare you doing with that lead piping? [PEACH] But that's impossible. Oh, no! --------------------------------------- (Grounds) [DOCTOR] We'll be late for cocktails. [DONNA] What do you think? Flapper or slapper? [DOCTOR] Flapper. You look lovely. --------------------------------------- (Lawns) [CHANDRAKALA] Look sharp. We have guests. [DOCTOR] Good afternoon. [DAVENPORT] Drinks, sir? Ma'am? [DONNA] Sidecar, please. [DOCTOR] And a lime and soda, thank you. [GREEVES] May I announce Lady Clemency Eddison. [DOCTOR] Lady Eddison. [CLEMENCY] Forgive me, but who exactly might you be, and what are youdoing here? [DOCTOR] I'm the Doctor. And this is Miss Donna Noble, of the ChiswickNobles. [DONNA] Good afternoon, my lady. Topping day, what? Spiffing. Top hole. [DOCTOR] No, no, no, no, no. No, don't do that. Don't. [DOCTOR] We were thrilled to receive your invitation, my lady. We met atthe Ambassador's reception. [CLEMENCY] Doctor, how could I forget you? But one must be sure with theUnicorn on the loose. [DOCTOR] A unicorn? Brilliant. Where? [CLEMENCY] The Unicorn. The jewel thief? Nobody knows who he is. He'sjust struck again. Snatched Lady Babbington's pearls right from underher nose. [DONNA] Funny place to wear pearls. [GREEVES] May I announce Colonel Hugh Curbishley, the Honourable RogerCurbishley. [CLEMENCY] My husband, and my son. [CURBISHLEY] Forgive me for not rising. Never been the same ever sincethat flu epidemic back in eighteen. [ROGER] My word, you are a super lady. [DONNA] Oh, I like the cut of your jib. Chin, chin. [DOCTOR] Hello. I'm the Doctor. [ROGER] How do you do? [DOCTOR] Very well. [DAVENPORT] Your usual, sir? [ROGER] Ah. Thank you, Davenport. Just how I like it. [DONNA] How come she's an Eddison, but her husband and son areCurbishleys? [DOCTOR] The Eddison title descends through her. One day Roger will be alord. [GREEVES] Robina Redmond. [CLEMENCY] She's the absolute hit of the social scene. A must. MissRedmond. [ROBINA] Spiffing to meet you at last, my lady. What super fun. [GREEVES] Reverend Arnold Golightly. [CLEMENCY] Ah, Reverend. How are you? I heard about the church lastThursday night. Those ruffians breaking in. [CURBISHLEY] You apprehended them, I hear. [GOLIGHTLY] As the Christian Fathers taught me, we must forgive themtheir trespasses. Quite literally. [ROGER] Some of these young boys deserve a descent thrashing. [DAVENPORT] Couldn't agree more, sir. [DONNA] Typical. All the decent men are on the other bus. [DOCTOR] Or Time Lords. [ROGER] Now, my lady. What about this special guest you promised us? [CLEMENCY] Here she is. A lady who needs no introduction. [AGATHA] No, no, please, don't. Thank you, Lady Eddison. Honestly,there's no need. [AGATHA] Agatha Christie. [DONNA] What about her? [AGATHA] That's me. [DONNA] No. You're kidding. [DOCTOR] Agatha Christie. I was just talking about you the other day. Isaid, I bet she's brilliant. I'm the Doctor. This is Donna. Oh, I loveyour stuff. What a mind. You fool me every time. Well, almost everytime. Well, once or twice. Well, once. But it was a good once. [AGATHA] You make a rather unusual couple. [DOCTOR] Oh, no, no, no, no. We're not married. [DONNA] We're not a couple. [AGATHA] Well, obviously not. No wedding ring. [DOCTOR] Oh. Oh, you don't miss a trick. [AGATHA] I'd stay that way if I were you. The thrill is in the chase,never in the capture. [CLEMENCY] Mrs Christie, I'm so glad you could come. I'm one of yourgreatest followers. I've read all six of your books. Er, is, er, MisterChristie not joining us? [AGATHA] Is he needed? Can't a woman make her own way in the world? [CURBISHLEY] Don't give my wife ideas. [ROGER] Now Mrs Christie, I have a question. Why a Belgian detective? [DOCTOR] Excuse me, Colonel. [AGATHA] Belgians make such lovely buns. [ROGER] I say, where on Earth's Professor Peach? He'd love to meet MrsChristie. [GOLIGHTLY] Said he was going to the library. [CLEMENCY] Miss Chandrakala, would you go and collect the Professor? [CHANDRAKALA] At once, Milady. [DOCTOR] The date on this newspaper. [DONNA] What about it? [DOCTOR] It's the day Agatha Christie disappeared. --------------------------------------- (Outside the library) [CHANDRAKALA] Professor Peach? [CHANDRAKALA] Professor? --------------------------------------- (Lawns) [DOCTOR] She'd just discovered her husband washaving an affair. [DONNA] You'd never think to look at her, smiling away. [DOCTOR] Well, she's British and moneyed. That's what they do. Theycarry on. Except for this one time. No one knows exactly what happened.She just vanished. Her car will be found tomorrow morning by the sideof a lake. Ten days later, Agatha Christie turns up in a hotel inHarrogate. Said she'd lost her memory. She never spoke about thedisappearance till the day she died, but whatever it was. [DONNA] It's about to happen. [DOCTOR] Right here, right now. [CHANDRAKALA] Professor! The library! Murder! Murder! --------------------------------------- (Library) [GREEVES] Oh, my goodness. [DOCTOR] Bashed on the head. Blunt instrument. Watch broke as he fell.Time of death was quarter past four. [DONNA] A bit of pipe. Call me Hercules Poirot, but I reckon that'sblunt enough. [DOCTOR] Nothing worth killing for in that lot. Dry as dust. [DONNA] Hold on. The Body In The Library? I mean,Professor Peach, in the library, with the lead piping? [CLEMENCY] Let me see. [CURBISHLEY] Out of my way. [CLEMENCY] Gerald? [GOLIGHTLY] Saints preserve us. [ROBINA] Oh how awful. [AGATHA] Someone should call the police. [DOCTOR] You don't have to. Chief Inspector Smith from Scotland Yard,known as the Doctor. Miss Noble is the plucky young girl who helps meout. [CLEMENCY] I say. [DOCTOR] Mrs Christie was right. Go into the sitting room. I willquestion each of you in turn. [AGATHA] Come along. Do as the Doctor says. Leave the room undisturbed. [DONNA] The plucky young girl who helps me out? [DOCTOR] No policewomen in 1926. [DONNA] I'll pluck you in a minute. Why don't we phone the real police? [DOCTOR] Well the last thing we want is PC Plod sticking his nose in,especially now I've found this. Morphic residue. [DONNA] Morphic? Doesn't sound very 1926. [DOCTOR] It's left behind when certain species genetically re-encode. [DONNA] The murderer's an alien? [DOCTOR] Which means one of that lot is an alien in human form. [DONNA] Yeah, but think about it. There's a murder, a mystery, andAgatha Christie. [DOCTOR] So? Happens to me all the time. [DONNA] No, but isn't that a bit weird? Agatha Christie didn't walkaround surrounded by murders. Not really. I mean, that's like meetingCharles Dickens and he's surrounded by ghosts at Christmas. [DOCTOR] Well. [DONNA] Oh, come on! It's not like we could drive across country andfind Enid Blyton having tea with Noddy. Could we? Noddy's not real. Ishe? Tell me there's no Noddy. [DOCTOR] There's no Noddy. --------------------------------------- (Outside the library) [DONNA] Next thing you know, you'll be telling meit's like Murder On The Orient Express, and theyall did it. [AGATHA] Murder on the Orient Express? [DONNA] Ooo, yeah. One of your best. [DOCTOR] But not yet. [AGATHA] Marvellous idea, though. [DONNA] Yeah. Tell you what. Copyright Donna Noble, okay? [DOCTOR] Anyway. Agatha and I will question the suspects. Donna, yousearch the bedrooms. Look for clues. (sotto) Any more residue. [DOCTOR] You'll need this. [DONNA] Is that for real? [DOCTOR] Go on. You're ever so plucky. [DOCTOR] Right then. Solving a murder mystery with Agatha Christie.Brilliant. [AGATHA] How like a man to have fun while there's disaster all aroundhim. [DOCTOR] Sorry. Yeah. [AGATHA] I'll work with you, gladly, but for the sake of justice, notyour own amusement. [DOCTOR] Yeah. --------------------------------------- (Sitting room) [DOCTOR] Now then, Reverend. Where were you at a quarter past four? [GOLIGHTLY] Let me think. Why yes, I remember. I was unpacking in myroom. [DOCTOR] No alibi, then. [AGATHA] You were alone? [GOLIGHTLY] With the Lord, one is never truly alone, Doctor? [DOCTOR] And where were you? [ROGER] Let me think. I was. Oh, yes. I was taking a constitutional inthe fields behind the house. Just taking a stroll, that's all. [DOCTOR] Alone? [ROGER] Oh, yes, all alone. Totally alone. Absolutely alone. Completely.All of the time. [ROGER] I wandered lonely as the proverbial cloud. There was no one elsewith me. Not at all. Not ever. [DOCTOR] And where were you? [ROBINA] At a quarter past four. Well, I went to the toilet when Iarrived, and then er. Oh, yes, I remember. I was preparing myself. [ROBINS] Positively buzzing with excitement about the party and thesuper fun of meeting Lady Eddy. [DOCTOR] We've only got your word for it. [ROBINA] That's your problem, not mine. [DOCTOR] And where were you, sir? [CURBISHLEY] Quarter past four? Dear me, let me think. Ah, yes, Iremember. I was in me study, reading through some military memoirs.Fascinating stuff. [CURBISHLEY] Took me back to my days in the army. Started reminiscing.Mafeking, you know. Terrible war. [DOCTOR] Colonel, snap out of it. [CURBISHLEY] I was in me study [DOCTOR] No, no, no. Right out of it. [CURBISHLEY] Oh, sorry. Got a bit carried away there. [DOCTOR] And where were you at a quarter past four, my lady? [CLEMENCY] Now, let me see. Yes, I remember. I was sitting in the BlueRoom, taking my afternoon tea. [CLEMENCY] It's a ritual of mine. I needed to gather strength for theduty of hostess. I then proceeded to the lawn where I met you, Doctor,and I said, who exactly might you be and what are you doing here? Andyou said, I am the Doctor and this is Miss Donna Noble. [DOCTOR] Yes, yes. You can stop now. I was there for that bit. [CLEMENCY] Of course. (hic) Excuse me. [AGATHA] No alibis for any of them. The Secret Adversaryremains hidden. We must look for a motive. Use ze little grey cells. [DOCTOR] Oh, yes, little grey cells. Good old Poirot. You know, I'vebeen to Belgium. Yeah. I remember I was deep in the Ardennes, trying tofind Charlemagne. He'd been kidnapped by an insane computer. [AGATHA] Doctor? Doctor. [DOCTOR] Sorry. [AGATHA] Charlemagne lived centuries ago. [DOCTOR] I've got a very good memory. [AGATHA] For such an experienced detective, you missed a big clue. [DOCTOR] What, that bit of paper you nicked out the fire? [AGATHA] You were looking the other way. [DOCTOR] Yeah, but I saw you reflected in the glass of the bookcase. [AGATHA] You crafty man. This is all that was left. [DOCTOR] What's that first letter? N or M? [AGATHA] It's an M. The word is maiden. [DOCTOR] Maiden! What does that mean? [AGATHA] We're still no further forward. Our Nemesisremains at large. Unless Miss Noble's found something. --------------------------------------- (Upstairs corridor) [GREEVES] You won't find anything in there. [DONNA] How come it's locked? [GREEVES] Lady Eddison commands it to be so. [DONNA] And I command it to be otherwise. Scotland Yard. Pip, pip. [DONNA] Why's it locked in the first place? [GREEVES] Many years ago, when my father was butler to the family, LadyEddison returned from India with malaria. She locked herself in thisroom for six months until she recovered. Since then, the room hasremained undisturbed. --------------------------------------- (Child's bedroom) [GREEVES] There's nothing in here. [DONNA] How long's it been empty? [GREEVES] Forty years. [DONNA] Why would she seal it off? All right, I need to investigate. Youjust butle off. [DONNA] 1926, they've still got bees. Oh, what a noise. All right, busybee, I'll let you out. Hold on, I shall find you with my amazing powersof detection. [DONNA] That's impossible. [DONNA] Doctor! --------------------------------------- (Upstairs corridor) [DONNA] Doctor! [DONNA] It's a giant wasp. [DOCTOR] What do you mean, a giant wasp? [DONNA] I mean, a wasp that's giant. [AGATHA] It's only a silly little insect. [DONNA] When I say giant, I don't mean big, I mean flipping enormous!Look at its sting. [DOCTOR] Let me see. --------------------------------------- (Child's bedroom) [DOCTOR] It's gone. Buzzed off. [AGATHA] But that's fascinating [DOCTOR] Don't touch it. Don't touch it. Let me [DOCTOR] Giant wasp. Well, tons of amorphous insectivorous lifeforms,but none in this galactic vector. [AGATHA] I think I understood some of those words. Enough to know thatyou're completely potty. [DONNA] Lost its sting, though. That makes it defenceless. [DOCTOR] Oh, a creature this size? Got to be able to grow a new one. [AGATHA] Can we return to sanity? There are no such things as giantwasps. [DOCTOR] Exactly. So. The question is, what's it doing here? --------------------------------------- (Kitchen) [HART] A murder? That's put the Cat AmongThe Pigeons and no mistake. [CHANDRAKALA] It is not the stuff of gossip, Mrs Hart. Continue withyour work. [DAVENPORT] But who'd want to do in the old professor? He was alwaysasking questions about that book of his. What's all that about? [CHANDRAKALA] A dead man's folly, nothing more.Though perhaps if he asked about? I must go and see Milady. --------------------------------------- (Outside the kitchen) [CHANDRAKALA] The poor little child. [DOCTOR] There! [DOCTOR] Come on! --------------------------------------- (Staircase) [DONNA] Hey, this makes a change. There's a monster, and we're chasingit. [AGATHA] It can't be a monster. It's a trick. They Do It WithMirrors. --------------------------------------- (Upstairs corridor) [AGATHA] By all that's holy. [DOCTOR] Oh, but you are wonderful. Now, just stop. Stop there. [DONNA] Oi, fly boy. [DOCTOR] Don't let it get away! Quick, before it reverts back to humanform. Where are you? Come on. There's nowhere to run. Show yourself! [DOCTOR] Oh, that's just cheating. --------------------------------------- (Drawing room) [CLEMENCY] My faithful companion, this is terrible. [DAVENPORT] Excuse me, my lady, but she was on her way to tell yousomething. [CLEMENCY] She never found me. She had an appointment withdeath instead. [DOCTOR] She said, the poor little child. Does that mean anything toanyone? [CURBISHLEY] No children in this house for years. Highly unlikely therewill be. [CLEMENCY] Mrs Christie, you must have twigged something. You've writtensimply the best detective stories. [GOLIGHTLY] Tell us, what would Poirot do? [CURBISHLEY] Heavens sake. Cards On The Table,woman. You should be helping us. [AGATHA] But, I'm merely a writer. [ROBINA] But surely you can crack it. These events, they're exactly likeone of your plots. [DONNA] That's what I've been saying. Agatha, that's got to meansomething. [AGATHA] But what? I've no answers. None. I'm sorry, all of you. I'mtruly sorry, but I've failed. If anyone can help us, then it's theDoctor, not me. --------------------------------------- (Gazebo) [DONNA] Do you know what I think? Those books of yours, one day theycould turn them into films. They could be talking pictures. [AGATHA] Talking pictures? Pictures that talk? What do you mean? [DONNA] Oh, blimey, I've done it again. [AGATHA] I appreciate you trying to be kind, but you're right. Thesemurders are like my own creations. It's as though someone's mocking me,and I've had enough scorn for one lifetime. [DONNA] Yeah. Thing is, I had this bloke once. I was engaged. And Iloved him, I really did. Turns out he was lying through his teeth. Butdo you know what? I moved on. I was lucky. I found the Doctor. It'schanged my life. There's always someone else. [AGATHA] I see. Is my marriage the stuff of gossip now? [DONNA] No, I just. Sorry. [AGATHA] No matter. The stories are true. I found my husband withanother woman. A younger, prettier woman. Isn't it always the way? [DONNA] Well, mine was with a giant spider, but, same difference. [AGATHA] You and the Doctor talk such wonderful nonsense. [DONNA] Agatha, people love your books. They really do. They're going tobe reading them for years to come. [AGATHA] If only. Try as I might, it's hardly great literature. Nowthat's beyond me. I'm afraid my books will be forgotten, like ephemera.Hello, what's that? Those flowerbeds were perfectly neat earlier. nowsome of the stalks are bent over. [DONNA] There you go. Who'd ever notice that? You're brilliant. --------------------------------------- (Sitting room) [DOCTOR] Ooo. Someone came here tooled up. The sort of stuff a thiefwould use. [AGATHA] The Unicorn. He's here. [DOCTOR] The Unicorn and the wasp. [GREEVES] Your drinks, ladies. Doctor. [DOCTOR] Very good, Greeves. [DONNA] How about the science stuff. What did you find? [DOCTOR] Vespiform sting. Vespiforms have got hives in the Silfraxgalaxy. [AGATHA] Again, you talk like Edward Lear. [DOCTOR] But for some reason, this one's behaving like a character inone of your books. [DONNA] Come on, Agatha. What would Miss Marple do? She'd have overheardsomething vital by now, because the murderer thinks she's just aharmless old lady. [AGATHA] Clever idea. Miss Marple? Who writes those? [DONNA] Er, copyright Donna Noble. Add it to the list. [DOCTOR] Donna. [DONNA] Okay, we could split the copyright. [DOCTOR] No. Something's inhibiting my enzymes. Argh! I've beenpoisoned. [DONNA] What do we do? What do we do?. [AGATHA] Bitter almonds. It's cyanide. Sparkling Cyanide. --------------------------------------- (Kitchen) [DOCTOR] Ginger beer! [DAVENPORT] I beg your pardon? [DOCTOR] I need ginger beer. [HART] The gentleman's gone mad. [AGATHA] I'm an expert in poisons. Doctor, there's no cure. It's fatal. [DOCTOR] Not for me. I can stimulate the inhibited enzymes intoreversal. Protein. I need protein. [DONNA] Walnuts? [DOCTOR] Brilliant. [DONNA] I can't understand you. How many words? One. One word. Shake.Milk shake. Milk? Milk? No, not milk? Shake, shake, shake. Cocktailshaker. What do you want, a Harvey Wallbanger? [DOCTOR] Harvey Wallbanger? [DONNA] Well, I don't know. [DOCTOR] How is Harvey Wallbanger one word? [AGATHA] What do you need, Doctor? [DOCTOR] Salt. I was miming salt. It's salt. I need something salty. [DONNA] What about this? [DOCTOR] What is it? [DONNA] Salt. [DOCTOR] No, too salty. [DONNA] Oh, that's too salty. [AGATHA] What about this?. [DONNA] What's that? [AGATHA] Anchovies. [DONNA] What is it? What else? It's a song? Mammy? I don't know.Camptown Races? [DOCTOR] Camptown Races? [DONNA] Well, all right then, Towering Inferno. [DOCTOR] It's a shock. Look, shock. I need a shock. [DONNA] Right then. Big shock coming up. [DOCTOR] Detox. Oh my. I must do that more often. I mean, the detox. [AGATHA] Doctor, you are impossible. Who are you? --------------------------------------- (Dining room) [DOCTOR] A terrible day for all of us. The Professor struck down, MissChandrakala taken cruelly from us, and yet we still take dinner. [CLEMENCY] We are British, Doctor. What else must we do? [DOCTOR] And then someone tried to poison me. Any one of you had thechance to put cyanide in my drink. But it rather gave me an idea. [GOLIGHTLY] And what would that be? [DOCTOR] Well, poison. Drink up. I've laced the soup with pepper. [CURBISHLEY] Ah, I thought it was jolly spicy. [DOCTOR] But the active ingredient of pepper is piperine, traditionallyused as an insecticide. So, anyone got the shivers? [CURBISHLEY] What the deuce is that? [DOCTOR] Listen, listen, listen, listen. [CLEMENCY] No, it can't be. [AGATHA] Show yourself, demon. [DOCTOR] Nobody move. No, don't! Stay where you are. [DOCTOR] Out, out, out, out, out, out! --------------------------------------- (Outside the dining room) [DOCTOR] Not you, Agatha. You've got a long, long life to live yet. [DONNA] Well, we know the butler didn't do it. [DOCTOR] Then who did? --------------------------------------- (Dining room) [CLEMENCY] My jewellry. The Firestone, it's gone. Stolen. [DAVENPORT] Roger. [CLEMENCY] My son. My child. --------------------------------------- (Drawing room) [DONNA] That poor footman. Roger's dead and he can't even mourn him.1926? It's more like the dark ages. [AGATHA] Did you enquire after the necklace? [DONNA] Lady Eddison bought it back from India. It's worth thousands. [DOCTOR] This thing can sting, it can fly. It could wipe us all out inseconds. Why is it playing this game? [AGATHA] Every murder is essentially the same. They are committedbecause somebody wants something. [DOCTOR] What does a Vespiform want? [AGATHA] Doctor, stop it. The murderer is as human as you or I. [DOCTOR] You're right. Ah, I've been so caught up with giant wasps thatI've forgotten. You're the expert. [AGATHA] I'm not. I told you. I'm just a purveyor of nonsense. [DOCTOR] No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Because plenty of people writedetective stories, but yours are the best. And why? Why are you sogood, Agatha Christie? Because you understand. You've lived, you'vefought, you've had your heart broken. You know about people. Theirpassions, their hope, and despair, and anger. All of those tiny, hugethings that can turn the most ordinary person into a killer. Justthink, Agatha. If anyone can solve this, it's you. [DOCTOR] I've called you here on this Endless Night,because we have a murderer in our midst. And when it comes todetection, there's none finer. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you, AgathaChristie. [AGATHA] This is A Crooked House. A house ofsecrets. To understand the solution, we must examine them all. Startingwith you, Miss Redmond. [ROBINA] But I'm innocent, surely? [AGATHA] You've never met these people, and these people have never metyou. I think the real Robina Redmond never left London. You'reimpersonating her. [ROBINA] How silly. What proof do you have? [AGATHA] You said you'd been to the toilet. [DONNA] Oh, I know this. If she was really posh, she'd say loo. [AGATHA] Earlier today, Miss Noble and I found this on the lawn, rightbeneath your bathroom window. You must have heard that Miss Noble wassearching the bedrooms, so you panicked. You ran upstairs and disposedof the evidence. [ROBINA] I've never seen that thing before in my life. [CLEMENCY] What's inside it? [AGATHA] The tools of your trade, Miss Redmond. Or should I say, theUnicorn. You came to this house with one sole intention. To steal theFirestone. [ROBINA] (Cockney) Oh, all right then. It's a fair cop. Yes, I'm thebleeding Unicorn. Ever so nice to meet you, I don't think. I took mychance in the dark and nabbed it. Go on then, you knobs. Arrest me.Sling me in jail. [DONNA] So, is she the murderer? [ROBINA] Don't be so thick. I might be a thief, but, well, I ain't nokiller. [AGATHA] Quite. There are darker motives at work. And in examining thishousehold, we come to you, Colonel. [CURBISHLEY] Damn it, woman. You with your perspicacity. You've rumbledme. [CLEMENCY] Hugh, you can walk. But why? [CURBISHLEY] My darling, how else could I be certain of keeping you bymy side? [CLEMENCY] I don't understand. [CURBISHLEY] You're still a beautiful woman, Clemency. Sooner or latersome chap will turn your head. I couldn't bear that. Staying in thechair was the only way I could be certain of keeping you. Confound it,Mrs Christie, how did you discover the truth? [AGATHA] Er, actually I had no idea. I was just going to say you'recompletely innocent. [CURBISHLEY] Oh. Oh. [AGATHA] Sorry. [CURBISHLEY] Well. Well, shall I sit down then? [AGATHA] I think you better had. [DONNA] So he's not the murderer. [AGATHA] Indeed, not. To find the truth, let's return to this. (TheFirestone.) Far more than the Unicorn's object of desire. The Firestonehas quite a history. Lady Eddison. [CLEMENCY] I've done nothing. [AGATHA] You brought it back from India, did you not? Before you met theColonel. You came home with malaria, and confined yourself to thishouse for six months, in a room that has been kept locked ever since,which I rather think means [CLEMENCY] Stop, please. [AGATHA] I'm so sorry. But you had fallen pregnant in India. Unmarriedand ashamed, you hurried back to England with your confidante, a youngmaid later to become housekeeper. Miss Chandrakala. [CURBISHLEY] Clemency, is this true? [CLEMENCY] My poor baby. I had to give him away. The shame of it. [CURBISHLEY] But you never said a word. [CLEMENCY] I had no choice. Imagine the scandal. The family name. I'mBritish. I carry on. [DOCTOR] And it was no ordinary pregnancy. [CLEMENCY] How can you know that? [DOCTOR] Excuse me Agatha, this is my territory. But when you heard thatbuzzing sound in the dining room, you said, it can't be. Why did yousay that? [CLEMENCY] You'd never believe it. [AGATHA] The Doctor has opened my mind to believe many things. [CLEMENCY] It was forty years ago, in the heat of Delhi, late one night.I was alone, and that's when I saw it. A dazzling light in the sky. Thenext day, he came to the house. Christopher, the most handsome man I'dever seen. Our love blazed like a wildfire. I held nothing back. And inreturn he showed me the incredible truth about himself. He'd madehimself human, to learn about us. This was his true shape. [CLEMENCY] I loved him so much, it didn't matter. But he was stolen fromme. 1885, the year of the great monsoon. The river Jumna rose up andbroke its banks. He was Taken At The Flood. ButChristopher left me a parting gift. A jewel like no other. I wore italways. Part of me never forgot. I kept it close, always. [ROBINA] Just like a man. Flashes his family jewels and you end up witha bun in the oven. [AGATHA] A poor little child. Forty years ago, Miss Chandrakala tookthat newborn babe to an orphanage. But Professor Peach worked it out.He found the birth certificate. [DONNA] Oh, that's maiden. Maiden name. [AGATHA] Precisely. [DONNA] So she killed him? [CLEMENCY] I did not. [AGATHA] Miss Chandrakala feared that the Professor had unearthed yoursecret. She was coming to warn you. [DONNA] So she killed her. [CLEMENCY] I did not. [AGATHA] Lady Eddison is innocent. Because at this point, Doctor. [DOCTOR] Thank you. At this point, when we consider the lies and thesecrets, and the key to these events, then we have to consider it wasyou, Donna Noble. [DONNA] What? Who did I kill? [DOCTOR] No, but you said it all along. The vital clue. This whole thingis being acted out like a murder mystery, which means it was you,Agatha Christie. [AGATHA] I beg your pardon, sir? [DONNA] So she killed them? [DOCTOR] No. But she wrote. She wrote those brilliant, clever books. Andwho's her greatest admirer? TheMoving Finger points at you, Lady Eddison. [CLEMENCY] Don't. Leave me alone. [DONNA] So she did kill them. [DOCTOR] No. But just think. Last Thursday night, what were you doing? [CLEMENCY] I was I was in the library. I was reading my favourite AgathaChristie, (The Murder of Roger Ackroyd) thinkingabout her plots, and how clever she must be. How is that relevant? [DOCTOR] Just think. What else happened on Thursday night? [GOLIGHTLY] I'm sorry? [DOCTOR] You said on the lawn, this afternoon. Last Thursday night,those boys broke into your church. [GOLIGHTLY] That's correct. They did. I discovered the two of them.Thieves in the night. I was most perturbed. [GOLIGHTLY [memory]] What the blazes are you doing, boys? [GOLIGHTLY] But I apprehended them. [DOCTOR] Really? A man of God against two strong lads? A man in hisforties? Or, should I say forty years old, exactly? [CLEMENCY] Oh, my God. [DOCTOR] Lady Eddison, your child, how old would he be now? [CLEMENCY] Forty. He's forty. [DOCTOR] Your child has come home. [GOLIGHTLY] Oh, this is poppycock. [DOCTOR] Oh? You said you were taught by the Christian Fathers, meaningyou were raised in an orphanage. [CLEMENCY] My son. Can it be? [DOCTOR] You found those thieves, Reverend, and you got angry. A proper,deep anger, for the first time in your life, and it broke the geneticlock. You changed. [GOLIGHTLY [memory]] Put thozz thingzz back where you found them.It'zzzz [DOCTOR] You realised your inheritance. After all these years, you knewwho you were. Oh, and then it all kicks off, because this isn't just ajewel. It's a Vespiform telepathic recorder. It's part of you, yourbrain, your very essence. And when you activated, so did the Firestone.It beamed your full identity directly into your mind. And, at the sametime, it absorbed the works of Agatha Christie directly from LadyEddison. It all became part of you. The mechanics of those novelsformed a template in your brain. You've killed, in this pattern,because that's what you think the world is. It turns out, we are in themiddle of a murder mystery. One of yours, Dame Agatha. [AGATHA] Dame? [DOCTOR] Oh. Sorry, not yet. [DONNA] So he killed them, yes? Definitely? [DOCTOR] Yes. [GOLIGHTLY] Well, this has certainly been a most entertaining evening.Really, you can't believe any of this surely, Lady Edizzon. [DOCTOR] Lady who? [GOLIGHTLY] Lady Edizzzzon. [DOCTOR] Little bit of buzzing there, Vicar. [GOLIGHTLY] Don't make me angry. [DOCTOR] Why? What happens then? [GOLIGHTLY] Damn it, you humanzz, worshipping your tribal sky godzz. Iam so much more. That night, the universe exploded in my mind. I wantedto take what wazz mine. And you, Agatha Christie, with your railwaystation bookstall romancezz, what'z to stop me killing you? [CLEMENCY] Oh, my dear God. My child. [GOLIGHTLY] What'zz to stop me killing you all? [CLEMENCY] Forgive me. [CURBISHLEY] No, no, Clemency, come back. Keep away. Keep away, mydarling. [AGATHA] No. No more murder. If my imagination made you kill, then myimagination will find a way to stop you, foul creature. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [DONNA] Wait, now it's chasing us. --------------------------------------- (Driveway) [AGATHA] Over here! Come and get me, Reverend. [DOCTOR] Agatha, what are you doing? [AGATHA] If I started this, Doctor, then I must stop it. [DOCTOR] Come on. --------------------------------------- (Cars) [AGATHA] It's all my fault, it's all my fault, it'sall my fault. [DONNA] You said this is the night Agatha Christie loses her memory. [DOCTOR] Time is in flux, Donna. For all we know, this is the nightAgatha Christie loses her life and history gets changed. [DONNA] But where's she going? [DOCTOR] The lake. She's heading for the lake. What's she doing? --------------------------------------- (By the lake) [AGATHA] Here I am, the honey in the trap. Come tome, Vespiform. [DONNA] She's controlling it. [DOCTOR] Its mind is based on her thought processes. They're linked. [AGATHA] Quite so, Doctor. If I die, then this creature might die withme. [DOCTOR] Don't hurt her. You're not meant to be like this. You've gotthe wrong template in your mind. [DONNA] It's not listening to you. [DONNA] How do you kill a wasp? Drown it, just like his father. [DOCTOR] Donna, that thing couldn't help itself. [DONNA] Neither could I. [AGATHA] Death comes as the end, and justice isserved. [DOCTOR] Murder at the Vicar's rage. Needs a bit ofwork. [AGATHA] Just one mystery left, Doctor. Who exactly are you? [DOCTOR] Oh, it's the Firestone. It's part of the Vespiform's mind. It'sdying and it's connected to Agatha. [DOCTOR] He let her go. Right at the end, the Vespiform chose to savesomeone's life. [DONNA] Is she all right, though? [DOCTOR] Of course. The amnesia. Wiped her mind of everything thathappened. The wasp, the murders. [DONNA] And us. She'll forget about us. [DOCTOR] Yeah, but we've solved another riddle. The mystery of AgathaChristie. And tomorrow morning, her car gets found by the side of alake. A few days later, she turns up in hotel at Harrogate with no ideaof what just happened. --------------------------------------- (Outside the Harrogate Hotel) [DOCTOR] No one'll ever know. [DONNA] Lady Eddison, the Colonel, and all the staff. What about them? [DOCTOR] Shameful story. They'd never talk of it. Too British. While theUnicorn does a bunk back to London town. She can never even say she wasthere. [DONNA] What happens to Agatha? [DOCTOR] Oh, great life. Met another man, married again. Saw the world.Wrote and wrote and wrote. [DONNA] She never thought her books were any good, though. And she musthave spent all those years wondering. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] The thing is, I don't think she ever quiteforgot. Great mind like that, some of the details kept bleedingthrough. All the stuff her imagination could use. Like, Miss Marple. [DONNA] I should have made her sign a contract. [DOCTOR] And, where is it, where is it, hold on. Here we go. [DOCTOR] C. That is C for Cybermen, C for Carrionites, (the green ball,a head of Caesar), and Christie, Agatha. Look at that. [DONNA] She did remember. [DOCTOR] Somewhere in the back of her mind, it all lingered. And that'snot all. Look at the copyright page. [DONNA] Facsimile edition, published in the year five billion! [DOCTOR] People never stop reading them. She is the best sellingnovelist of all time. [DONNA] But she never knew. [DOCTOR] Well, no one knows how they're going to be remembered. All wecan do is hope for the best. Maybe that's what kept her writing. Samething keeps me travelling. Onwards? [DONNA] Onwards.

The library goes on for ever. [MOON [OC]] How do you move around? [GIRL] By wishing. --------------------------------------- (Girl's home) [MOON] What's wrong? [GIRL] Something's here. Someone's got in. No one's supposed to get in. [FATHER] She's never mentioned any one else. She's always been alone. [GIRL] Someone's in my library. No, no, please, that's not allowed.That's not allowed. [MOON] Listen to me. The library is in your mind. [GIRL] I know it's in my mind, but something's got inside. --------------------------------------- (Rotunda) [DOCTOR] Oh. Hello. Sorry to burst in on you like this. Okay if we stophere for a bit? --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] Books. People never really stop loving books. --------------------------------------- (Library) [DOCTOR] Fifty first century. By now you've got holovids, direct tobrain downloads, fiction mist, but you need the smell. The smell ofbooks, Donna. Deep breath. --------------------------------------- (Staircase) [DOCTOR] The Library. So big it doesn't need a name. Just a great bigThe. [DONNA] It's like a city. [DOCTOR] It's a world. Literally, a world. The whole core of the planetis the index computer. Biggest hard drive ever. And up here, every bookever written. Whole continents of Jeffrey Archer, Bridget Jones, MontyPython's Big Red Book. Brand new editions, specially printed. [DOCTOR] We're near the equator, so this must be biographies. I lovebiographies. [DONNA] Yeah, very you. Always a death at the end. [DOCTOR] You need a good death. Without death, there'd only be comedies.Dying gives us size. [DOCTOR] Way-a. Spoilers. [DONNA] What? [DOCTOR] These books are from your future. You don't want to read ahead.Spoil all the surprises. Like peeking at the end. [DONNA] Isn't travelling with you one big spoiler? [DOCTOR] I try to keep you away from major plot developments. Which, tobe honest, I seem to be very bad at, because you know what? This is thebiggest library in the universe. So where is everyone? It's silent. [DONNA] The library? [DOCTOR] The planet. The whole planet. [DONNA] Maybe it's a Sunday. [DOCTOR] No, I never land on Sundays. Sundays are boring. [DONNA] Well, maybe everyone's really, really quiet. [DOCTOR] Yeah, maybe. But they'd still show up on the system. [DONNA] Doctor, why are we here? Really, why? [DOCTOR] Oh, you know, just passing. [DONNA] No, seriously. It was all let's hit the beach, then suddenlywe're in a library. Why? [DOCTOR] Now that's interesting. [DONNA] What? [DOCTOR] Scanning for life forms. If I do a scan looking for your basichumanoids. You know, your book readers, few limbs and a face, apartfrom us, I get nothing. Zippo, nada. See? Nobody home. But if I widenthe parameters to any kind of life. [DOCTOR] A million, million. Gives up after that. A million, million. [DONNA] But there's nothing here. There's no one. [DOCTOR] And not a sound. A million. million life forms, and silence inthe library. [DONNA] But there's no one here. There's just books. I mean, it's notthe books, is it? I mean, it can't be the books, can it? I mean, bookscan't be alive. [NODE [OC]] Welcome. [DONNA] That came from here. [DOCTOR] Yeah. --------------------------------------- (Library) [NODE] I am Courtesy Node seven one zero slash aqua. Please enjoy theLibrary and respect the personal access codes of all your fellowreaders, regardless of species or hygiene taboo. [DONNA] That face, it looks real. [DOCTOR] Yeah, don't worry about it. [DONNA] A statue with a real face, though? It's a hologram or something,isn't it? [DOCTOR] No, but really, it's fine. [NODE] Additional. There follows a brief message from the Head Librarianfor your urgent attention. It has been edited for tone and content by aFelman Lux Automated Decency Filter. Message follows. Run. For God'ssake, run. No way is safe. The library has sealed itself, we can't. Oh,they're here. Argh. Slarg. Snick. Message ends.

[DONNA] Why, what's in the shadows? --------------------------------------- (Stacks) [DONNA] So, We weren't just in the neighbourhood. [DOCTOR] Yeah, I kind of, sort of lied a bit. I got a message on thepsychic paper. [DOCTOR] What do you think? Cry for help? [DONNA] Cry for help with a kiss? [DOCTOR] Oh, we've all done that. [DONNA] Who's it from? [DOCTOR] No idea. [DONNA] So why did we come here? Why did you [DOCTOR] Donna. [DONNA] What's happening? [DOCTOR] Run! [DOCTOR] Come on. [DONNA] What, is it locked? [DOCTOR] Jammed. The wood's warped. [DONNA] Well, sonic it. Use the thingy. [DOCTOR] I can't, it's wood. [DONNA] What, it doesn't do wood? [DOCTOR] Hang on, hang on. I can vibrate the molecules, fry thebindings. I can shatterline the interface. [DONNA] Oh, get out of the way. --------------------------------------- (Rotunda) [DOCTOR] Oh. Hello. Sorry to burst on you like this. Okay if we stophere for a bit? [DONNA] What is it? [DOCTOR] Security camera. Switched itself off. --------------------------------------- (Girl's home) [GIRL] They were in my library. How can they be inmy library? [MOON] Who were they? [GIRL] What's that? What's that noise? [FATHER] What noise? --------------------------------------- (Rotunda) [DOCTOR] Nice door skills, Donna. [DONNA] Yeah, well, you know, boyfriends. Sometimes you need the elementof surprise. What was that? What was after us? I mean, did we just runaway from a power cut? [DOCTOR] Possibly. [DONNA] Are we safe here? [DOCTOR] Of course we're safe. There's a little shop. [DOCTOR] Gotcha! --------------------------------------- (Girl's home) [GIRL] No, stop it.

[GIRL] The library is breached. Others are coming. [MOON] What others? --------------------------------------- (Rotunda) [DONNA] Others? What's it mean, others? [DONNA] Excuse me. What does it mean, others? [DOCTOR] That's barely more than a speak your weight machine, it can'thelp you. [DONNA] So why's it got a face? [MARK NODE] This flesh aspect was donated by Mark Chambers on theoccasion of his death. [DONNA] It's a real face?. [MARK NODE] It has been actualised individually for you from the manyfacial aspects saved to our extensive flesh banks. Please enjoy. [DONNA] It chose me a dead face it thought I'd like? That statue's got areal dead person's face on it. [DOCTOR] It's the fifty first century. That's basically like donating apark bench. [DONNA] It's donating a face! [DOCTOR] No, wait, no. [DONNA] Oi. Hands. [DOCTOR] The shadow. Look. [DONNA] What about it? [DOCTOR] Count the shadows. [DONNA] One. There, counted it. One shadow. [DOCTOR] Yeah But what's casting it? [DOCTOR] Oh, I'm thick! Look at me, I'm old and thick. Head's too fullof stuff. I need a bigger head. [DONNA] The power must be going. [DOCTOR] This place runs on fission cells. They'll outburn the sun. [DONNA] Then why is it dark? [DOCTOR] It's not dark. [DONNA] That shadow. It's gone. [DOCTOR] We need to get back to the Tardis. [DONNA] Why? [DOCTOR] Because that shadow hasn't gone. It's moved.

[DOCTOR] A fairly good one, actually. [RIVER] Okay, shall we do diaries, then? Where are we this time? Er,going by your face, I'd say it's early days for you, yeah? So, er,crash of the Byzantium.

[DOCTOR [on TV]] Well, no, I'm, I'm sort of in space. Er, I was tryingto call up the data core of a triple grid security processor. [GIRL] Would you like to speak to my Dad? [DOCTOR [on TV]] Dad or your Mum. That'd be lovely. [GIRL] I know you. You're in my library. [DOCTOR [on TV]] Your library? [GIRL] The library's never been on the television before. What have youdone? [DOCTOR [on TV]] Er, well, I just rerouted the interface. --------------------------------------- (Rotunda) [RIVER] What happened? Who was that? [DOCTOR] I need another terminal. Keep working on those lights. We needthose lights! [RIVER] You heard him, people. Let there be light. [RIVER] Sorry, you're not allowed to see inside the book. It's againstthe rules. [DOCTOR] What rules? [RIVER] Your rules. [DOCTOR] What's that? I didn't do that. Did you do that? [DAVE] Not me. [DOCTOR] What's Cal? [DONNA] You all right? [EVANGELISTA] What's that? What's happening? [LUX] I don't know. [DONNA] Oh, thanks, for er, you know, offering to help with the lights. [EVANGELISTA] They don't want me. They think I'm stupid, because I'mpretty. [DONNA] Course they don't. Nobody thinks that. [EVANGELISTA] No, they're right though. I'm a moron, me. My dad said Ihave the IQ of plankton, and I was pleased. [DONNA] See, that's funny. [EVANGELISTA] No, no, I really was pleased. Is that funny? [DONNA] No, no. [RIVER] What's causing that? Is it the little girl? [DOCTOR] But who is the little girl? What's she got to do with thisplace? How does the data core work? What's the principle? What'sCal? [RIVER] Ask Mister Lux. [DOCTOR] Cal, what is it? [LUX] Sorry, you didn't sign your personal experience contracts. [DOCTOR] Mister Lux. Right now, you're in more danger than you've everbeen in your whole life. And you're protecting a patent? [LUX] I'm protecting my family's pride. [DOCTOR] Well, funny thing, Mister Lux. I don't want to see everyone inthis room dead because some idiot thinks his pride is more important. [RIVER] Then why don't you sign his contract? I didn't either. I'mgetting worse than you. [DOCTOR] Okay, okay, okay. Let's start at the beginning. What happenedhere? On the actual day, a hundred years ago, what physically happened? [RIVER] There was a message from the Library. Just one. The lights aregoing out. Then the computer sealed the planet, and there was nothingfor a hundred years. [LUX] It's taken three generations of my family just to decode the sealsand get back in. [EVANGELISTA] Er, excuse me? [LUX] Not just now. [RIVER] There was one other thing in the last message. [LUX] That's confidential. [RIVER] I trust this man with my life, with everything. [LUX] You've only just met him. [RIVER] No, he's only just met me. [EVANGELISTA] Er, this might be important, actually. [LUX] In a moment. [RIVER] This is a data extract that came with the message. [DOCTOR] Four thousand and twenty two saved. No survivors. [RIVER] Four thousand and twenty two. That's the exact number of peoplewho were in the library when the planet was sealed. [DONNA] But how can four thousand and twenty two people have been savedif there were no survivors? [RIVER] That's what we're here to find out. [LUX] And so far, what we haven't found are any bodies. --------------------------------------- (Lecture hall) [DOCTOR] Everybody, careful. Stay in the light. [DAVE] You keep saying that. I don't see the point. [DOCTOR] Who screamed? [DAVE] Miss Evangelista. [DOCTOR] Where is she? [RIVER] Miss Evangelista, please state your current [RIVER] Please state your current position. [RIVER] It's her. It's Miss Evangelista. [ANITA] We heard her scream a few seconds ago. What could do that to aperson in a few seconds? [DOCTOR] It took a lot less than a few seconds. [ANITA] What did? [EVANGELISTA [OC]] Hello? [RIVER] Er, I'm sorry, everyone. Er, this isn't going to be pleasant.She's ghosting. [DONNA] She's what? [EVANGELISTA [OC]] Hello? Excuse me. I'm sorry. Hello? Excuse me. [DONNA] That's, that's her, that's Miss Evangelista. [DAVE] I don't want to sound horrible, but couldn't we just, you know? [RIVER] This is her last moment. No, we can't. A little respect, thankyou. [EVANGELISTA [OC]] Sorry, where am I? Excuse me? [DONNA] But that's Miss Evangelista. [RIVER] It's a data ghost. She'll be gone in a moment. Miss Evangelista,you're fine. Just relax. We'll be with you presently. [DONNA] What's a data ghost? [DOCTOR] There's a neural relay in the communicator. Lets you sendthought mail. That's it there. Those green lights. Sometimes it canhold an impression of a living consciousness for a short time afterdeath. Like an afterimage. [ANITA] My grandfather lasted a day. Kept talking about his shoelaces. [DONNA] She's in there. [EVANGELISTA [OC]] I can't see. I can't. Where am I? [DAVE] She's just brain waves now. The pattern won't hold for long. [DONNA] But, she's conscious. She's thinking. [EVANGELISTA [OC]] I can't see, I can't. I don't know what I'm thinking. [DOCTOR] She's a footprint on the beach. And the tide's coming in. [EVANGELISTA [OC]] Where's that woman? The nice woman. Is she there? [LUX] What woman? [DONNA] She means. I think she means me. [EVANGELISTA [OC]] Is she there? The nice woman. [RIVER] Yes, she's here. Hang on. Go ahead. She can hear you. [EVANGELISTA [OC]] Hello? Are you there? [DOCTOR] Help her. [DONNA] She's dead. [DOCTOR] Yeah. Help her. [EVANGELISTA [OC]] Hello? Is that the nice woman? [DONNA] Yeah. Hello. Yeah, I'm, I'm, I'm here. You okay? [EVANGELISTA [OC]] What I said before, about being stupid. Don't tellthe others, they'll only laugh. [DONNA] Course I won't. Course I won't tell them. [EVANGELISTA [OC]] Don't tell the others, they'll only laugh. [DONNA] I won't tell them. I said I won't. [EVANGELISTA [OC]] Don't tell the others, they'll only laugh. [DONNA] I'm not going to tell them. [EVANGELISTA [OC]] Don't tell the others, they'll only laugh. [RIVER] She's looping now. The pattern's degrading. [EVANGELISTA [OC]] I can't think. I don't know, I, I, I, I scream. Icecream. Ice cream. Ice cream. Ice cream. [RIVER] Does anybody mind if I? [EVANGELISTA [OC]] Ice cream. Ice cream. [DONNA] That was, that was horrible. That was the most horrible thingI've ever seen. [RIVER] No. It's just a freak of technology. But whatever did this toher, whatever killed her, I'd like a word with that. [DOCTOR] I'll introduce you. --------------------------------------- (Rotunda) [DOCTOR] I'm going to need a packed lunch. [RIVER] Hang on. [DOCTOR] What's in that book? [RIVER] Spoilers. [DOCTOR] Who are you? [RIVER] Professor River Song, University of [DOCTOR] To me. Who are you to me? [RIVER] Again, spoilers. Chicken and a bit of salad. Knock yourself out. [DOCTOR] Right, you lot. Let's all meet the Vashta Nerada. --------------------------------------- (Girl's home) [FATHER] Darling, Doctor Moon is going now, but he'd like a word withyou alone. Is that all right? [GIRL] Yes, of course, Doctor Moon. [MOON] Thank you. Now, listen. This is important. There's the realworld, and there's the world of nightmares. That's right, isn't it? Youunderstand that? [GIRL] Yes, I know, Doctor Moon. [MOON] What I want you to remember is this, and I know it's hard. Thereal world is a lie, and your nightmares are real. The library is real.There are people trapped in there, people who need to be saved. Theshadows are moving again. Those people are depending on you. Only youcan save them. Only you. --------------------------------------- (Rotunda) [RIVER] You travel with him, don't you? The Doctor, you travel with him. [DONNA] What of it? [DOCTOR] Proper Dave, could you move over a bit? [DAVE] Why? [DOCTOR] Over there by the water cooler. Thanks. [DONNA] You know him, don't you? [RIVER] Oh God, do I know that man. We go way back, that man and me.Just not this far back. [DONNA] I'm sorry, what? [RIVER] He hasn't met me yet. I sent him a message, but it went wrong.It arrived too early. This is the Doctor in the days before he knew me.And he looks at me, he looks right through me and it shouldn't kill me,but it does. [DONNA] What are you talking about? Are you just talking rubbish? Do youknow him or don't you? [DOCTOR] Donna! Quiet, I'm working. [DONNA] Sorry. [RIVER] Donna. You're Donna. Donna Noble. [DONNA] Yeah. Why? [RIVER] I do know the Doctor, but in the future. His personal future. [DONNA] So why don't you know me? Where am I in the future? [DOCTOR] Okay, got a live one. That's not darkness down those tunnels.This is not a shadow. It's a swarm. A man eating swarm. [DOCTOR] The piranhas of the air. The Vashta Nerada. Literally, theshadows that melt the flesh. Most planets have them, but usually insmall clusters. I've never seen an infestation on this scale, or thisaggressive. [DONNA] What do you mean, most planets? Not Earth? [DOCTOR] Mmm. Earth, and a billion other worlds. Where there's meat,there's Vashta Nerada. You can see them sometimes, if you look. Thedust in sunbeams. [DONNA] If they were on Earth, we'd know. [DOCTOR] Nah. Normally they live on road kill. But sometimes people gomissing. Not everyone comes back out of the dark. [RIVER] Every shadow? [DOCTOR] No. But any shadow. [RIVER] So what do we do? [DOCTOR] Daleks, aim for the eyestalk. Sontarans, back of the neck.Vashta Nerada? Run. Just run. [RIVER] Run? Run where? [DOCTOR] This is an index point. There must be an exit teleportsomewhere. [LUX] Don't look at me, I haven't memorised the schematics. [DONNA] Doctor, the little shop. They always make you go through thelittle shop on the way out so they can sell you stuff. [DOCTOR] You're right. Brilliant! That's why I like the little shop. [DAVE] Okay, let's move it. [DOCTOR] Actually, Proper Dave? Could you stay where you are for amoment? [DAVE] Why? [DOCTOR] I'm sorry. I am so, so sorry. But you've got two shadows. [DOCTOR] It's how they hunt. They latch on to a food source and keep itfresh. [DAVE] What do I do? [DOCTOR] You stay absolutely still, like there's a wasp in the room.Like there's a million wasps. [RIVER] We're not leaving you, Dave. [DOCTOR] Course we're not leaving him. Where's your helmet? Don't point,just tell me. [DAVE] On the floor, by my bag. [DOCTOR] Don't cross his shadow. Thanks. Now, the rest of you, helmetsback on and sealed up. We'll need everything we've got. [DONNA] But, Doctor, we haven't got any helmets. [DOCTOR] Yeah, but we're safe anyway. [DONNA] How are we safe? [DOCTOR] We're not. That was a clever lie to shut you up. Professor,anything I can do with the suit? [LUX] What good are the damn suits? Miss Evangelista was wearing hersuit. There was nothing left. [RIVER] We can increase the mesh density. Dial it up four hundredpercent. Make it a tougher meal. [DOCTOR] Okay. [DOCTOR] Eight hundred percent. Pass it on. [RIVER] Gotcha. [DOCTOR] What's that? [RIVER] It's a screwdriver. [DOCTOR] It's sonic. [RIVER] Yeah, I know. Snap. [DOCTOR] With me. Come on. --------------------------------------- (Shop) [DONNA] What are we doing? We shopping? Is it a goodtime to shop? [DOCTOR] No talking, just moving. Try it. Right, stand there in themiddle. It's a teleport. Stand in the middle. Can't send the others,Tardis won't recognise them. [DONNA] What are you doing? [DOCTOR] You don't have a suit. You're not safe. [DONNA] You don't have a suit, so you're in just as much danger as I amand I'm not leaving you [DOCTOR] Donna, let me explain. [DOCTOR] Oh, that's how you do it. [RIVER [OC]] Doctor. --------------------------------------- (Rotunda) [DOCTOR] Where did it go? [DAVE] It's just gone. I looked round, one shadow, see. [RIVER] Does that mean we can leave? I don't want to hang around here. [LUX] I don't know why we're still here. We can leave him, can't we? Imean, no offence. [RIVER] Shut up, Mister Lux. [DOCTOR] Did you feel anything, like an energy transfer? Anything atall? [DAVE] No, no, but look, it's gone. [DOCTOR] Stop there. Stop, stop, stop there. Stop moving. They're neverjust gone and they never give up. [DOCTOR] Well, this one's benign. [DAVE] Hey, who turned out the lights? [DOCTOR] No one, they're fine. [DAVE] No seriously, turn them back on.

[DOCTOR] Your screwdriver looks exactly like mine. [RIVER] Yeah. You gave it to me. [DOCTOR] I don't give my screwdriver to anyone. [RIVER] I'm not anyone. [DOCTOR] Who are you? [RIVER] What's the plan? [DOCTOR] I teleported Donna back to the Tardis. If we don't get backthere in under five hours, emergency program one will activate. [RIVER] Take her home, yeah. We need to get a shift on. [DOCTOR] She's not there. I should have received a signal. The consolesignals me if there's a teleport breach. [RIVER] Well, maybe the coordinates have slipped. The equipment here'sancient. [DOCTOR] Donna Noble. There's a Donna Noble somewhere in this library.Do you have the software to locate her position? [DONNA NODE] Donna Noble has left the library.

The library is just your imagination. [GIRL] Donna? --------------------------------------- (Hospital) [MOON] Hello, Donna. [DONNA] Who are you? [MOON] I'm Doctor Moon. I've been treating you since you came here, twoyears ago. [DONNA] Oh God. Doctor Moon, I'm so sorry. What's wrong with me? Ididn't know you for a moment. [MOON] And then you remembered. Shall we go for a walk? --------------------------------------- (Hospital grounds) [MOON] No more dreams, then? The Doctor and the bluebox, time and space. [DONNA] How did we get here? [MOON] We came down the stairs, out the front door. We passed Mrs Ali onthe way out. [DONNA] Yeah. Yeah, we did. I forgot that. [MOON] And then you remembered. Shall we go down to the river? --------------------------------------- (River) [DONNA] You said river, and suddenly we're feedingducks. [LEE] Doctor Moon. Morning. [MOON] Donna Noble, Lee McAvoy. [DONNA] Hello, Lee. [LEE] Hello, D, D, D [DONNA] Ooo, you've got bit of a stammer there. Bless. [LEE] D, D [DONNA] Oh, skip to a vowel. They're easy. --------------------------------------- (Hospital grounds) [DONNA] How did we leave it, him and me? [MOON] I got the impression he was inviting you fishing tomorrow. --------------------------------------- (Lee's room) [DONNA] So. Fishing. --------------------------------------- (River) [LEE] D. D. [DONNA] Gorgeous, and can't speak a word. What am I going to do withyou? --------------------------------------- (House) [LEE] Welcome home, M, Mrs McAvoy. --------------------------------------- (Living room) [DONNA] Stop it. Stop it now. We've got a visitor. [MOON] You've done so much in seven years, Donna. [DONNA] Sometimes it feels more like seventy. Mind you, sometimes itfeels like no time at all. [MOON] Can I just say what a pleasure it is to see you fully integrated. [DOCTOR] No, the signal's definitely coming from the moon. I'm blockingit, but it's trying to break through. Donna! [MOON] Sorry. Mrs Angelo's rhubarb surprise. Will I never learn? [DONNA] Oh, the Doctor. I saw the Doctor. [MOON] Yes, you did, Donna. And then, you forgot. [DONNA] Doctor Moon. Oh, hello. Shall I make you a cup of tea? --------------------------------------- (Rotunda) [RIVER] OK, we've got a clear spot. In, in, in! Right in the centre. Inthe middle of the light, quickly. Don't let your shadows cross. Doctor. [DOCTOR] I'm doing it. [RIVER] There's no lights here. Sunset's coming. We can't stay long.Have you found a live one? [DOCTOR] Maybe. It's getting harder to tell. What's wrong with you? [RIVER] We're going to need a chicken leg. Who's got a chicken leg?Thanks, Dave. [RIVER] Okay. Okay, we've got a hot one. Watch your feet. [DOCTOR] They won't attack until there's enough of them. But they've gotour scent now. They're coming. [OTHER DAVE] Oh, yeah, who is he? You haven't even told us. You justexpect us to trust him? [RIVER] He's the Doctor. [LUX] And who is the Doctor? [RIVER] The only story you'll ever tell, if you survive him. [ANITA] You say he's your friend, but he doesn't even know who you are. [RIVER] Listen, all you need to know is this. I'd trust that man to theend of the universe. And actually, we've been. [ANITA] He doesn't act like he trusts you. [RIVER] Yeah, there's a tiny problem. He hasn't met me yet. [RIVER] What's wrong with it? [DOCTOR] There's a signal coming from somewhere, interfering with it. [RIVER] Then use the red settings. [DOCTOR] It doesn't have a red setting. [RIVER] Well, use the dampers. [DOCTOR] It doesn't have dampers. [RIVER] It will do one day. [DOCTOR] So, some time in the future, I just give you my screwdriver. [RIVER] Yeah. [DOCTOR] Why would I do that? [RIVER] I didn't pluck it from your cold dead hands, if that's whatyou're worried about. [DOCTOR] And I know that because? [RIVER] Listen to me. You've lost your friend. You're angry. Iunderstand. But you need to be less emotional, Doctor, right now. [DOCTOR] Less emotional? I'm not emotional. [RIVER] There are five people in this room still alive. Focus on that.Dear God, you're hard work young. [DOCTOR] Young? Who are you? [LUX] Oh, for heaven's sake! Look at the pair of you. We're all going todie right here, and you're just squabbling like an old married couple. [RIVER] Doctor, one day I'm going to be someone that you trustcompletely, but I can't wait for you to find that out. So I'm going toprove it to you. And I'm sorry. I'm really very sorry. [RIVER] Are we good? Doctor, are we good? [DOCTOR] Yeah, we're good. [RIVER] Good. [DOCTOR] Know what's interesting about my screwdriver? Very hard tointerfere with. Practically nothing's strong enough. Well, somehairdryers, but I'm working on that. So there is a very strong signalcoming from somewhere, and it wasn't there before. So what's new?What's changed? Come on! What's new? What's different? [DAVE 2] I don't know. Nothing. It's getting dark? [DOCTOR] It's a screwdriver. It works in the dark. Moon rise. Tell meabout the moon. What's there? [LUX] It's not real. It was built as part of the Library. It's just aDoctor Moon. [DOCTOR] What's a Doctor Moon? [LUX] A virus checker. It supports and maintains the main computer atthe core of the planet. [DOCTOR] Well, still active. It's signalling. Look. Someone somewhere inthis library is alive and communicating with the moon. Or, possiblyalive and drying their hair. No, the signal is definitely coming fromthe moon. I'm blocking it, but it's trying to break through. [RIVER] Doctor! [DOCTOR] Donna! [RIVER] That was her. That was your friend! Can you get her back? Whatwas that? [DOCTOR] Hold on, hold on, hold on. I'm trying to find the wavelength.Argh, I'm being blocked. [ANITA] Professor? [RIVER] Just a moment. [ANITA] It's important. I have two shadows. [RIVER] Okay. Helmets on, everyone. Anita, I'll get yours. [ANITA] It didn't do Proper Dave any good. [RIVER] Just keep it together, okay? [ANITA] Keeping it together. I'm only crying. I'm about to die. It's notan overreaction. [DOCTOR] Hang on. [RIVER] Oh God, they've got inside. [DOCTOR] No, no, no. I just tinted her visor. Maybe they'll thinkthey're already in there, leave her alone. [RIVER] Do you think they can be fooled like that? [DOCTOR] Maybe. I don't know. It's a swarm. It's not like we chat. [OTHER DAVE] Can you still see in there? [ANITA] Just about. [DOCTOR] Just, just, just stay back. Professor, a quick word, please. [RIVER] What? [DOCTOR] Down here. [RIVER] What is it? [DOCTOR] Look, you said there are five people still alive in this room. [RIVER] Yeah, so? [DOCTOR] So, why are there six? [DAVE] Hey, who turned out the lights? [DOCTOR] Run! [DAVE] Hey, who turned out the lights? --------------------------------------- (Girl's home) [DAVE [on TV]] Hey, who turned out the lights? Hey,who turned out the lights? [DONNA [on TV]] Here we are, Doctor Moon. --------------------------------------- (Living room) [ELLA] Mummy, I made you! [DONNA] Oh, that's nice, Ella. Where's the face? [ELLA] I don't know. [DONNA] Did you see Doctor Moon? Did he leave? [JOSHUA + ELLA] Daddy! [LEE] Hey! Hello, you two. Come here. Big hugs. Big Daddy hugs. [ELLA] Look what I made. [LEE] Oh. It's Mummy. [DONNA] Er, it hasn't got a face. Did you see Doctor Moon? [LEE] No. Why, was he here? [DONNA] Yeah, just a second ago. You must have passed him. [LEE] You all right? [DONNA] Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine. It's just [LEE] Just? [DONNA] Nothing. It's been a long day, that's all. I'm just tired. --------------------------------------- (Bedroom) [LEE] You okay? [DONNA] I said I was tired, and, and we put the kids to bed, and wewatched television. [DONNA] Was that a letter? [LEE] It's midnight. [DONNA] Go and see what it is. [LEE] The world is wrong. [DONNA] What? [LEE] For you. Weird, though. Dear Donna, the world is wrong. Meet me atyour usual playpark, two o'clock tomorrow. [DONNA] Nutter. --------------------------------------- (Girl's home) [GIRL] Don't go. Please don't go. --------------------------------------- (Playground) [DONNA] All right, you two, off you go. No fighting. [DONNA] I got your note last night. The world is wrong. What's thatmean? [EVANGELISTA] No, you didn't. [DONNA] I'm sorry, what? [EVANGELISTA] You didn't get my note last night. You got it a fewseconds ago. Having decided to come, you suddenly found yourselfarriving. That is how time progresses here, in the manner of a dream.You've suspected that before, haven't you, Donna Noble? [DONNA] How do you know me? [EVANGELISTA] We met before, in the library. You were kind to me. I hopenow to return that kindness. [DONNA] Your voice. I recognise it. [EVANGELISTA] Yes, you do. I am what is left of Miss Evangelista. --------------------------------------- (Stacks) [DOCTOR] Professor, go ahead. Find a safe spot. [RIVER] It's a carnivorous swarm in a suit. You can't reason with it. [DOCTOR] Five minutes. [RIVER] Other Dave, stay with him. Pull him out when he's too stupid tolive. Two minutes, Doctor. [DAVE] Hey, who turned out the lights? [DOCTOR] You hear that? Those words? That is the very last thought ofthe man who wore that suit before you climbed inside and stripped hisflesh. That's a man's soul trapped inside a neural relay, going roundand round forever. Now, if you don't have the decency to let him go,how about this? Use him. Talk to me. It's easy. Neural relay. Justpoint and think. Use him, talk to me. [DAVE] Hey, who turned out the lights? [DOCTOR] The Vashta Nerada live on all the worlds in this system, butyou hunt in forests. What are you doing in a library? [OTHER DAVE] We should go. Doctor! [DOCTOR] In a minute. You came to the library to hunt. Why? Just tell mewhy? [VASHTA NERADA] We did not. [DOCTOR] Oh, hello. [VASHTA NERADA] We did not. [DOCTOR] Take it easy, you'll get the hang of it. Did not what? [VASHTA NERADA] We did not come here. [DOCTOR] Well, of course you did. Of course you came here. [VASHTA NERADA] We come from here. [DOCTOR] From here? [VASHTA NERADA] We hatched here. [DOCTOR] But you hatch from trees. From spores in trees. [VASHTA NERADA] These are our forests. [DOCTOR] You're nowhere near a forest. Look around you. [VASHTA NERADA] These are our forests. [DOCTOR] You're not in a forest, you're in a library. There are no treesin a (the penny drops) library. [OTHER DAVE] We should go. Doctor! [DOCTOR] Books. You came in the books. Microspores in a million, millionbooks. [DAVE 2] We should go. Doctor! [DOCTOR] Oh, look at that. The forests of the Vashta Nerada, pulped andprinted and bound. A million, million books, hatching shadows. [OTHER DAVE] We should go. Doctor! [DOCTOR] Oh, Dave! Oh Dave, I'm so sorry. [DAVE] Hey, who turned out the lights? [OTHER DAVE] We should go. Doctor! [DOCTOR] Thing about me, I'm stupid. I talk too much. Always babblingon. This gob doesn't stop for anything.Want to know the only reason I'm still alive? Always stay near thedoor. --------------------------------------- (Playground) [EVANGELISTA] I suggested we meet here because aplayground is the easiest place to see it. To see the lie. [DONNA] What lie? [EVANGELISTA] The children. Look at the children. [DONNA] Why do you wear that veil? If I had a face like yours, Iwouldn't hide it. [EVANGELISTA] You remember my face, then? The memories are all stillthere. The library, the Doctor, me. You've just been programmed not tolook. [DONNA] Sorry, but you're dead. [EVANGELISTA] In a way, we're all dead here, Donna. We are the dead ofthe library. [DONNA] Well, what about the children? The children aren't dead. Mychildren aren't dead. [EVANGELISTA] Your children were never alive. [DONNA] Don't you say that. Don't you dare say that about my children! [EVANGELISTA] Look at your children. Look at all of them, really look. [EVANGELISTA] They're not real. Do you see it now? They're all the same.All the children of this world, the same boy and the same girl, overand over again. [DONNA] Stop it. Just stop it. Why are you doing this? Why are youwearing that veil? --------------------------------------- (Reading room) [RIVER] You know, it's funny, I keep wishing the Doctor was here. [ANITA] The Doctor is here, isn't he? He is coming back, right? [RIVER] You know when you see a photograph of someone you know, but it'sfrom years before you knew them. and it's like they're not quitefinished. They're not done yet. Well, yes, the Doctor's here. He camewhen I called, just like he always does. But not my Doctor. Now myDoctor, I've seen whole armies turn and run away. And he'd just swaggeroff back to his Tardis and open the doors with a snap of his fingers.The Doctor in the Tardis. Next stop, everywhere. [DOCTOR] Spoilers. Nobody can open a Tardis by snapping their fingers.It doesn't work like that. [RIVER] It does for the Doctor. [DOCTOR] I am the Doctor. [RIVER] Yeah. Some day. [DOCTOR] How are you doing? [RIVER] Where's Other Dave? [DOCTOR] Not coming. Sorry. [ANITA] Well, if they've taken him, why haven't they gotten me yet? [DOCTOR] I don't know. Maybe tinting your visor's making a difference. [ANITA] It's making a difference all right. No one's ever going to seemy face again. [DOCTOR] Can I get you anything? [ANITA] An old age would be nice. Anything you can do? [DOCTOR] I'm all over it. [ANITA] Doctor. When we first met you, you didn't trust Professor Song.And then she whispered a word in your ear, and you did. My life so far.I could do with a word like that. What did she say? Give a dead girl abreak. Your secrets are safe with me. [DOCTOR] Safe. [ANITA] What? [DOCTOR] Safe. You don't say saved. Nobody says saved. You say safe. Thedata fragment! What did it say? [LUX] Four thousand and twenty two people saved. No survivors. [RIVER] Doctor? [DOCTOR] Nobody says saved. Nutters say saved. You say safe. You see, itdidn't mean safe. It meant, it literally meant, saved! --------------------------------------- (Playground) [DONNA] What happened to your face? [EVANGELISTA] Transcription errors. Destroyed my face, did wonders formy intellect. I'm a very poor copy of myself. --------------------------------------- (Girl's home) [DONNA [on TV]] Where are we? Why are the childrenall the same? [EVANGELISTA [on TV]] The same pattern over and over. It saves an awfullot of space. [DONNA [on TV]] Space? [EVANGELISTA [on TV]] Cyberspace. [GIRL] No, don't tell! You mustn't tell! --------------------------------------- (Reading room) [DOCTOR] See, there it is, right there. A hundred years ago, massivepower surge. All the teleports going at once. Soon as the Vashta Neradahit their hatching cycle, they attack. Someone hits the alarm. Thecomputer tries to teleport everyone out. [RIVER] It tried to teleport four thousand twenty two people? [DOCTOR] It succeeded. Pulled them all out, but then what? Nowhere tosend them. Nowhere safe in the whole library. Vashta Nerada growing inevery shadow. Four thousand and twenty two people all beamed up andnowhere to go. They're stuck in the system, waiting to be sent, likeemails. So what's a computer to do? What does a computer always do? [RIVER] It saved them. [DOCTOR] The library. A whole world of books, and right at the core, thebiggest hard drive in history. The index to everything ever written,backup copies of every single book. The computer saved four thousandand twenty two people the only way a computer can. It saved them to thehard drive. --------------------------------------- (Bandstand) [EVANGELISTA] Your physical self is stored in thelibrary as an energy signature. It can be actualised again whenever youor the library requires. [DONNA] The library? If my face ends up on one of those statues. [EVANGELISTA] You remember the statues? [DONNA] Wait, no, just hang on. So this isn't the real me? This isn't myreal body? But I've been dieting. [EVANGELISTA] What you see around you, this entire world --------------------------------------- (Girl's home) [EVANGELISTA [on TV]] Is nothing more than virtualreality. --------------------------------------- (Bandstand) [DONNA] So why do you look like that? [EVANGELISTA] I had no choice. You teleported. You're a perfectreproduction. I was just a data ghost caught in theWi-Fi and automatically uploaded. [DONNA] And it made you clever? [EVANGELISTA] We're only strings of numbers in here. I think a decimalpoint may have shifted in my IQ. But my face has been the biggeradvantage. I have the two qualities you require to see absolute truth.I am brilliant and unloved. [DONNA] If this is all a dream, whose dream is it? [EVANGELISTA] It's hard to see everything in the data core, even for me,but there is a word. Just one word. Cal. --------------------------------------- (Playground) [ELLA] Mummy, my knee! [DONNA] Oh! Oh, look at that knee. Oh, look at that silly old knee! [EVANGELISTA] She's not real. They're fictions. I'm sorry, but now thatyou understand that, you won't be able to keep a hold. They aresustained only by your belief. [DONNA] You don't know. You don't have children. [EVANGELISTA] Neither do you. --------------------------------------- (Girl's home) [EVANGELISTA [on TV]] Donna, for your own sake, letthem go! [GIRL] Stop it! You'll spoil everything! I hate you! You're going toruin everything! Stop it! [FATHER] Sweetie, what's wrong? [GIRL] Shut up! [GIRL] Daddy! No! Daddy! --------------------------------------- (Reading room) [LUX] What is it? What's wrong? [COMPUTER] Autodestruct enabled in twenty minutes. --------------------------------------- (Girl's home) [ELLA [on TV]] Mummy, what did the lady mean? Are wenot real? [JOSHUA [on TV]] Where are we going? [DONNA [on TV]] Home! --------------------------------------- (Living room) [JOSHUA] That was quick, wasn't it, Mummy? [ELLA] Mummy, what's wrong with the sky? --------------------------------------- (Reading room) [RIVER] What's maximum erasure? [DOCTOR] In twenty minutes, this planet's going to crack like an egg. [LUX] No. No, it's all right. The Doctor Moon will stop it. It'sprogrammed to protect Cal. --------------------------------------- (Girl's home) [MOON] Now you really must stop this, you know.You've forgotten again it was you who saved all those people, haven'tyou? And then, you remembered. [GIRL] Shut up, Doctor Moon! --------------------------------------- (Reading room) [DOCTOR] No, no, no, no, no, no, no! [COMPUTER] All library systems are permanently offline. Sorry for anyinconvenience. Shortly [LUX] We need to stop this. We've got to save Cal. [DOCTOR] What is it? What is Cal? [LUX] We need to get to the main computer. I'll show you. [DOCTOR] It's at the core of the planet. [RIVER] Well, then. Let's go. [RIVER] Gravity platform. [DOCTOR] I bet I like you. [RIVER] Oh, you do. --------------------------------------- (Living room) [JOSHUA] Mummy, you're hurting my hand. [DONNA] You just, you just stay where I can see you, all right? You, youdon't get out of my sight. [ELLA] Is it bedtime? --------------------------------------- (Children's bedroom) [DONNA] Okay. That was lovely, wasn't it? That was a lovely bedtime. Wehad warm milk, and we watched cartoons, and then Mummy read you alovely bedtime story. [ELLA] Mummy, Joshua and me, we're not real, are we? [DONNA] Of course you're real. You're as real as anything. Why do yousay that? [JOSHUA] But, Mummy, sometimes, when you're not here, it's like we'renot here. [ELLA] Even when you close your eyes, we just stop. [DONNA] Well, Mummy promises to never close her eyes again. [DONNA] No! Please! No, please! No! No, no! No, no! --------------------------------------- (Data core) [COMPUTER] Autodestruct in fifteen minutes. [DOCTOR] The data core. Over four thousand living minds trapped insideit. [RIVER] Yeah, well, they won't be living much longer. We're running outof time. --------------------------------------- (Girl's home) [GIRL] Help me. Please, help me. Please, please helpme! --------------------------------------- (Data core) [GIRL [OC]] Help me. Please, help me. [ANITA] What's that? [RIVER] Was that a child? [DOCTOR] The computer's in sleep mode. I can't wake it up. I'm trying. [RIVER] Doctor, these readings. [DOCTOR] I know. You'd think it was dreaming. [LUX] It is dreaming, of a normal life, and a lovely Dad, and of everybook ever written. [ANITA] Computers don't dream. [GIRL [OC]] Help me. Please help me. [LUX] No, but little girls do. --------------------------------------- (CAL interface) [GIRL NODE] Please help me. Please help me. [RIVER] Oh, my God. [ANITA] It's the little girl. The girl we saw in the computer. [LUX] She's not in the computer. In a way, she is the computer. The maincommand node. This is Cal. [DOCTOR] Cal is a child? A child hooked up to a mainframe? Why didn'tyou tell me this? I needed to know this! [LUX] Because she's family! Cal. Charlotte Abigail Lux. My grandfather'syoungest daughter. She was dying, so he built her a library and put herliving mind inside, with a moon to watch over her, and all of humanhistory to pass the time. Any era to live in, any book to read. Sheloved books more than anything, and he gave her them all. He asked onlythat she be left in peace. A secret, not a freak show. [DOCTOR] So you weren't protecting a patent, you were protecting her. [LUX] This is only half a life, of course. But it's for ever. [DOCTOR] And then the shadows came. [GIRL NODE] The shadows. I have to. I have to save. Have to save. [DOCTOR] And she saved them. She saved everyone in the library. Foldedthem into her dreams and kept them safe. [ANITA] Then why didn't she tell us? [DOCTOR] Because she's forgotten. She's got over four thousand livingminds chatting away inside her head. It must be like being, well, me. [RIVER] So what do we do? [COMPUTER] Autodestruct in ten minutes. --------------------------------------- (Data core) [DOCTOR] Easy! We beam all the people out of thedata core. The computer will reset and stop the countdown. Difficult.Charlotte doesn't have enough memory space left to make the transfer.Easy! I'll hook myself up to the computer. She can borrow my memoryspace. [RIVER] Difficult. It'll kill you stone dead. [DOCTOR] Yeah, it's easy to criticise. [RIVER] It'll burn out both your hearts and don't think you'llregenerate. [DOCTOR] I'll try my hardest not to die. Honestly, it's my main thing. [RIVER] Doctor! [DOCTOR] I'm right, this works. Shut up. Now listen. You and Luxy boy,back up to the main library. Prime any data cells you can find formaximum download, and before you say anything else, Professor, can Ijust mention in passing as you're here, shut up. [RIVER] Oh! I hate you sometimes. [DOCTOR] I know! [RIVER] Mister Lux, with me. Anita, if he dies, I'll kill him! [ANITA] What about the Vashta Nerada? [DOCTOR] These are their forests. I'm going to seal Charlotte inside herlittle world, take everybody else away. The shadows can swarm to theirhearts' content. [ANITA] So you think they're just going to let us go? [DOCTOR] Best offer they're going to get. [ANITA] You're going to make 'em an offer? [DOCTOR] They'd better take it, because right now, I'm finding it veryhard to make any kind of offer at all. You know what? I really likedAnita. She was brave, even when she was crying. And she never gave in.And you ate her. [DOCTOR] But I'm going to let that pass, just as long as you let thempass. [ANITA] How long have you known? [DOCTOR] I counted the shadows. You only have one now. She's nearlygone. Be kind. [ANITA] These are our forests. We are not kind. [DOCTOR] I'm giving you back your forests, but you are giving me them.You are letting them go. [ANITA] These are our forests. They are our meat. [DOCTOR] Don't play games with me. You just killed someone I liked. Thatis not a safe place to stand. I'm the Doctor, and you're in the biggestlibrary in the universe. Look me up. [ANITA] You have one day. [RIVER] Oh, Anita. [DOCTOR] I'm sorry. She's been dead a while now. I told you to go! [RIVER] Lux can manage without me, but you can't. [COMPUTER] Autodestruct in two minutes. [DOCTOR] Oh, no, no, no, no. Come on, what are you doing? That's my job. [RIVER] Oh, and I'm not allowed to have a career, I suppose? [DOCTOR] Why am I handcuffed? Why do you even have handcuffs? [RIVER] Spoilers. [DOCTOR] This is not a joke. Stop this now. This is going to kill you!I'd have a chance, you don't have any. [RIVER] You wouldn't have a chance, and neither do I. I'm timing it forthe end of the countdown. There'll be a blip in the command flow. Thatway it should improve our chances of a clean download. [DOCTOR] River, please. No. [RIVER] Funny thing is, this means you've always known how I was goingto die. All the time we've been together, you knew I was coming here.The last time I saw you, the real you, the future you, I mean, youturned up on my doorstep, with a new haircut and a suit. You took me toDarillium to see the Singing Towers. What a night that was. The Towerssang, and you cried. [COMPUTER] Autodestuct in one minute. [RIVER] You wouldn't tell me why, but I suppose you knew it was time. Mytime. Time to come to the library. You even gave me your screwdriver.That should have been a clue. [RIVER] There's nothing you can do. [DOCTOR] You can let me do this. [RIVER] If you die here, it'll mean I've never met you. [DOCTOR] Time can be rewritten. [RIVER] Not those times. Not one line. Don't you dare. It's okay. It'sokay. It's not over for you. You'll see me again. You've got all ofthat to come. You and me, time and space. You watch us run. [DOCTOR] River, you know my name. [COMPUTER] Autodestruct in ten [DOCTOR] You whispered my name in my ear. [COMPUTER] Nine, eight, seven [DOCTOR] There's only one reason I would ever tell anyone my name.There's only one time I could. [RIVER] Hush, now. [RIVER] Spoilers. [COMPUTER] Two, one --------------------------------------- (Staircase) [LEE] Donna? What's happening? [DONNA] I don't know, but it's not real. Nothing here's real. The wholeworld, everything. None of it's real. [LEE] Am I real? [DONNA] Of course you're real. I know you're real. Oh God, oh God, Ihope you're real. [DONNA] I'll find you. I promise you, I'll find you. --------------------------------------- (Reception) [MAN] Excuse me? [MAN] What happened? How did we get here? [LUX] Look at you. You're back! You're all back! He did it! You're allback. Look at you! --------------------------------------- (Staircase) [LUX] Look at that. Oh, look at that. He did it. Four thousand andtwenty two people, saved. --------------------------------------- (Shop) [COMPUTER] Please be patient. Only three can teleport at a time. Do notstate your intended destination until you arrive in your designatedslot. [DOCTOR] Any luck? [DONNA] There wasn't even anyone called Lee in the library that day. Isuppose he could have had a different name out here, but, let's behonest, he wasn't real, was he? [DOCTOR] Maybe not. [DONNA] I made up the perfect man. Gorgeous, adores me, and hardly ableto speak a word. What's that say about me? [DOCTOR] Everything. Sorry, did I say everything? I meant to saynothing. I was aiming for nothing. I accidentally said everything. [WOMAN] Stand right in the middle of the teleport, please. Keep yourhands and feet inside at all times. [DONNA] What about you? [WOMAN] And remember to switch off your mobile comm. unit. [DONNA] Are you all right? [DOCTOR] I'm always all right. [WOMAN] If you are pregnant, please go to teleport seven on the floorabove [DONNA] Is all right special Time Lord code for really not all right atall? [DOCTOR] Why? [DONNA] Because I'm all right, too. [DOCTOR] Come on. --------------------------------------- (Staircase) [DONNA] Your friend, Professor Song. She knew you in the future, but shedidn't know me. What happens to me? Because when she heard my name, theway she looked at me. [DOCTOR] Donna, this is her diary. My future. I could look you up. Whatdo you think? Shall we peek at the end? [DONNA] Spoilers, right? [DOCTOR] Right. [DOCTOR] Come on. The next chapter's this way. [RIVER [OC]] When you run with the Doctor, it feels like it will neverend. But however hard you try, you can't run for ever. Everybody knowsthat everybody dies, and nobody knows it like the Doctor. But I dothink that all the skies of all the worlds might just turn dark, if heever, for one moment, accepts it. [DOCTOR] Why? Why would I give her my screwdriver? Why would I do that?Thing is, future me had years to think about it, all those years tothink of a way to save her, and what he did was give her a screwdriver.Why would I do that? [DOCTOR] Oh! Oh! Oh, look at that. I'm very good! [DONNA] What have you done? [DOCTOR] Saved her. --------------------------------------- (Stacks) [DOCTOR] Stay with me! You can do it, stay with me! Come on, you and me,one last run! --------------------------------------- (Reading room) [DOCTOR] Sorry, River, shortcut! [COMPUTER] Platform disabled.(The Doctor dives into the gravity well. The last light is blinking.) --------------------------------------- (Data core) [RIVER [OC]] Everybody knows that everybody dies.But not every day. [RIVER [OC]] Not today. --------------------------------------- (Hospital grounds) [GIRL] It's okay, you're safe. You'll always be safe here. The Doctorfixed the data core. This is a good place now. But I was worried youmight be lonely, so I brought you some friends. Aren't I a clever girl? [EVANGELISTA] Aren't we all? [RIVER] Oh, for heaven's sake. He just can't do it, can he? That man.That impossible man. He just can't give in. [RIVER [OC]] Some days are special. Some days are so, so blessed. Somedays, nobody dies at all. [RIVER [OC]] Now and then, every once in a very long while, every day ina million days, when the wind stands fair, and the Doctor comes to call --------------------------------------- (Children's bedroom) [RIVER] Everybody lives.

Aunt Sharon says it's just anordinary crack, but I know it's not, because at night there's voices,so please, please, could you send someone to fix it? Or a policeman. Ora [AMELIA] Back in a moment. [AMELIA] Thank you, Santa. --------------------------------------- (Garden) [DOCTOR] Could I have an apple? All I can think about. Apples. I loveapples. Maybe I'm having a craving? That's new. Never had cravingsbefore. [DOCTOR] Whoa. Look at that. [AMELIA] Are you okay? [DOCTOR] Just had a fall. All the way down there, right to the library.Hell of a climb back up. [AMELIA] You're soaking wet. [DOCTOR] I was in the swimming pool. [AMELIA] You said you were in the library. [DOCTOR] So was the swimming pool. [AMELIA] Are you a policeman? [DOCTOR] Why? Did you call a policeman? [AMELIA] Did you come about the crack in my wall? [AMELIA] Are you all right, mister? [DOCTOR] No, I'm fine. It's okay. This is all perfectly norm [AMELIA] Who are you? [DOCTOR] I don't know yet. I'm still cooking. Does it scare you? [AMELIA] No, it just looks a bit weird. [DOCTOR] No, no, no. The crack in your wall. Does it scare you? [AMELIA] Yes. [DOCTOR] Well then, no time to lose. I'm the Doctor. Do everything Itell you, don't ask stupid questions, and don't wander off. [AMELIA] Are you all right? [DOCTOR] Early days. Steering's a bit off. --------------------------------------- (Kitchen) [AMELIA] If you're a doctor, why does your box sayPolice? [DOCTOR] That's disgusting. What is that? [AMELIA] An apple. [DOCTOR] Apple's rubbish. I hate apples. [AMELIA] You said you loved them. [DOCTOR] No, no, no. I like yoghurt. Yoghurt's my favourite. Give meyoghurt. [DOCTOR] I hate yoghurt. It's just stuff with bits in. [AMELIA] You said it was your favourite. [DOCTOR] New mouth. New rules. It's like eating after cleaning yourteeth. Everything tastes wrong. Argh! [AMELIA] What is it? What's wrong with you? [DOCTOR] Wrong with me? It's not my fault. Why can't you give me anydecent food? You're Scottish. Fry something. [DOCTOR] Ah, bacon! [DOCTOR] Bacon. That's bacon.

[DOCTOR] Oh, that's a brilliant name. Amelia Pond. Like a name in afairy tale. Are we in Scotland, Amelia? [AMELIA] No. We had to move to England. It's rubbish. [DOCTOR] So what about your mum and dad, then? Are they upstairs?Thought we'd have woken them by now. [AMELIA] I don't have a mum and dad. Just an aunt. [DOCTOR] I don't even have an aunt. [AMELIA] You're lucky. [DOCTOR] I know. So, your aunt, where is she? [AMELIA] She's out. [DOCTOR] And she left you all alone? [AMELIA] I'm not scared. [DOCTOR] Course, you're not.

[DOCTOR] Must be a hell of a scary crack in your wall. --------------------------------------- (Bedroom) [DOCTOR] You've had some cowboys in here. Not actual cowboys, thoughthat can happen. [AMELIA] I used to hate apples, so my mum put faces on them. [DOCTOR] She sounds good, your mum. I'll keep it for later. This wall issolid and the crack doesn't go all the way through it. So here's athing. Where's the draught coming from? [DOCTOR] Wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey. You know what the crack is? [AMELIA] What? [DOCTOR] It's a crack. But I'll tell you something funny. If you knockedthis wall down, the crack would stay put, because the crack isn't inthe wall. [AMELIA] Where is it then? [DOCTOR] Everywhere. In everything. It's a split in the skin of theworld. Two parts of space and time that should never have touched,pressed together right here in the wall of your bedroom. Sometimes, canyou hear? [AMELIA] A voice. Yes. [ATRAXI [OC]] Prisoner Zero has escaped. [DOCTOR] Prisoner Zero? [AMELIA] Prisoner Zero has escaped. That's what I heard. What does itmean? [ATRAXI [OC]] Prisoner Zero has escaped. [DOCTOR] It means that on the other side of this wall, there's a prisonand they've lost a prisoner. And you know what that means? [AMELIA] What? [DOCTOR] You need a better wall. The only way to close the breach is toopen it all the way. The forces will invert and it'll snap itself shut.Or [AMELIA] What? [DOCTOR] You know when grown-ups tell you everything's going to be fineand you think they're probably lying to make you feel better? [AMELIA] Yes. [DOCTOR] Everything's going to be fine. [ATRAXI [OC]] Prisoner Zero has escaped. Prisoner Zero has escaped. [DOCTOR] Hello? Hello? [AMELIA] What's that? [DOCTOR] There, you see? Told you it would close. Good as new. [AMELIA] What's that thing? Was that Prisoner Zero? [DOCTOR] No. I think that was Prisoner Zero's guard. Whatever it was, itsent me a message. Psychic paper. Takes a lovely little message.(reads) Prisoner Zero has escaped. But why tell us? Unless. [AMELIA] Unless what? [DOCTOR] Unless Prisoner Zero escaped through here. But he couldn'thave.

And I think they just found us! [MOTHER] The Atraxi are limited. While I'm in this form, they'll stillbe unable to detect me. They've tracked a phone, not me. [DOCTOR] Yeah, but this is the good bit. I mean, this is my favouritebit. Do you know what this phone is full of? Pictures of you. Everyform you've learned to take, right here. Ooo, and being uploaded aboutnow. And the final score is, no Tardis, no screwdriver, two minutes tospare. Who da man? Oh, I'm never saying that again. Fine. [MOTHER] Then I shall take a new form. [DOCTOR] Oh, stop it.

[RORY] Doctor. [DOCTOR] Well, that's rubbish. Who's that supposed to be? [RORY] It's you. [RORY] You don't know? [DOCTOR] Busy day. Why me, though? You're linked with her. Why are youcopying me? [AMELIA] I'm not. Poor Amy Pond. Still such a child inside. Dreaming ofthe magic Doctor she knows will return to save her. What adisappointment you've been. [DOCTOR] No, she's dreaming about me because she can hear me. Amy, don'tjust hear me, listen. Remember the room, the room in your house youcouldn't see. Remember you went inside. I tried to stop, but you did.You went in the room. You went inside. Amy, dream about what you saw. [AMELIA] No. No. No! [DOCTOR] Well done, Prisoner Zero. A perfect impersonation of yourself. [ATRAXI [OC]] Prisoner Zero is located. Prisoner Zero is restrained. [ZERO] Silence, Doctor. Silence will fall. [RORY] The sun. It's back to normal, right? That's, that's good, yeah?That means it's over. [RORY] Amy. Are you okay? Are you with us? [AMY] What happened? [RORY] He did it. The Doctor did it. [DOCTOR] No, I didn't. [RORY] What are you doing? [DOCTOR] Tracking the signal back. Sorry in advance. [RORY] About what? [DOCTOR] The bill. [DOCTOR] Oi, I didn't say you could go! Article fifty seven of theShadow Proclamation. This is a fully established level five planet, andyou were going to burn it? What? Did you think no-one was watching? Youlot, back here, now. Okay, now I've done it.

Come on, then!The Doctor will see you now. [ATRAXI] You are not of this world. [DOCTOR] No, but I've put a lot of work into it. [DOCTOR] Oh, hmm, I don't know. What do you think? [ATRAXI] Is this world important? [DOCTOR] Important? What's that mean, important? Six billion people livehere. Is that important? Here's a better question. Is this world athreat to the Atraxi? Well, come on. You're monitoring the wholeplanet. Is this world a threat? [ATRAXI] No. [DOCTOR] Are the peoples of this world guilty of any crime by the lawsof the Atraxi? [ATRAXI] No. [DOCTOR] Okay.

Doctor Who (5 Jun, 2010; Eleventh Doctor) - Vincent and the Doctor (Museé d'Orsay) [BLACK] So this is one of the last paintings Van Gogh ever painted.Those final months of his life were probably the most astonishingartistic outpouring in history. It was like Shakespeare knocking offOthello, Macbeth and King Lear over the summer hols. And especiallyastonishing because Van Gogh did it with no hope of praise or reward.He is now [AMY] Thanks for bringing me. [DOCTOR] You're welcome. [AMY] You're being so nice to me. Why are you being so nice to me? [DOCTOR] I'm always nice to you. [AMY] Not like this. These places you're taking me. Arcadia, the TrojanGardens, now this. I think it's suspicious. [DOCTOR] What? It's not. There's nothing to be suspicious about. [AMY] Okay, I was joking. Why aren't you? [BLACK] Each of these pictures now is worth tens of millions of pounds,yet in his lifetime he was a commercial disaster. Sold only onepainting, and that to the sister of a friend. We have here possibly thegreatest artist of all time, but when he died you could sold his entirebody of work and got about enough money to buy a sofa and a couple ofchairs. If you follow me now [CHILD] Who is it? [CHILD 2] It's the doctor. [CHILD 2] He was the doctor who took care of Van Gogh when he started togo mad. [CHILD] I knew that. [AMY] Look. There it is. The actual one. [DOCTOR] Yes. You can almost feel his hand painting it right in front ofyou, carving the colours into shapes. Wait a minute. [AMY] What? [DOCTOR] Well, just look at that. [AMY] What? [DOCTOR] Something very not good indeed. [AMY] What thing very not good? [DOCTOR] Look there, in the window of the church. [AMY] Is it a face? [DOCTOR] Yes. And not a nice face at all. I know evil when I see it andI see it in that window. [BLACK] It has changed hands for something in the region of twenty [DOCTOR] Excuse me. If I can just interrupt for one second. Sorry,everyone. Routine inspection, Ministry of Art and Artiness. So, er [BLACK] Doctor Black. [DOCTOR] Yes, that's right. Do you know when that picture of the churchwas painted? [BLACK] Ah, well, ah, well, what an interesting question. Most peopleimagine [DOCTOR] I'm going to have to hurry you. When was it? [BLACK] Exactly? [DOCTOR] As exactly as you can. Without a long speech, if poss. I'm in ahurry. [BLACK] Well, in that case, probably somewhere between the first andthird of June. [DOCTOR] What year? [BLACK] 1890. Less than a year before, before he killed himself. [DOCTOR] Thank you, sir. Very helpful indeed. Nice bow-tie. Bow-ties arecool. [BLACK] Yours is very [DOCTOR] Oh, thank you. Keep telling them stuff. We need to go. [AMY] What about the other pictures? [DOCTOR] Art can wait. This is life and death. We need to talk toVincent Van Gogh. --------------------------------------- (Alleyway) [DOCTOR] Right, so, here's the plan. We find Vincent and he leads usstraight to the church and our nasty friend. [AMY] Easy peasy. [DOCTOR] Well, no. I suspect nothing will be easy with Mister Van Gogh.Now, he'll probably be in the local cafe. Sort of orangey light, chairsand tables outside. [AMY] Like this? [DOCTOR] That's the one. [AMY] Or indeed like that. [DOCTOR] Yeah, exactly like that. --------------------------------------- (Outside the cafe) [DOCTOR] Good evening. Does the name Vincent VanGogh ring a bell? [MAURICE] Don't mention that man to me. [DOCTOR] Excuse me. Do you know Vincent Van Gogh? [WAITRESS] Unfortunately. [AMY] Unfortunately? [WAITRESS] He's drunk, he's mad and he never pays his bills. [DOCTOR] Good painter, though, eh? [VINCENT [OC]] Come on! Come on! One painting for one drink. That's nota bad deal. [MAURICE] It wouldn't be a bad deal if the painting were any good. Ican't hang that up on my walls. It'd scare the customers half to death.It's bad enough having you in here in person, let alone looming overthe customers day and night in a stupid hat. You pay money or you getout. [DOCTOR] I'll pay, if you like. [MAURICE] What? [DOCTOR] Well, if you like, I'll pay for the drink. Or I'll pay for thepainting and you can use the money to pay for the drink. [VINCENT] Exactly who are you? [DOCTOR] Oh, I'm new in town. [VINCENT] Well, in that case, you don't know three things. One, I payfor my own drinks, thank you. (laughter) Two, no one ever buys any ofmy paintings or they would be laughed out of town. So if you want tostay in town, I suggest you keep your cash to yourself. And three, yourfriend's cute, but you should keep your big nose out of other people'sbusiness. Come on, just one more drink. I'll pay tomorrow. [MAURICE] No. [VINCENT] Or, on the other hand, slightly more compassionately, yes? [MAURICE] Or, on the other hand, to protect my business from madmen, no. [VINCENT] Or? [AMY] Oh look, just shut up, the pair of you. I would like a bottle ofwine, please, which I will then share with whomever I choose. [VINCENT] That could be good. [MAURICE] That's good by me. [AMY] Good. --------------------------------------- (Cafe) [VINCENT] That accent of yours. You from Holland like me? [DOCTOR] Yes. [AMY] No. [DOCTOR] She means yes. So, start again. Hello, I'm the Doctor. [VINCENT] I knew it! [DOCTOR] Sorry? [VINCENT] My brother's always sending doctors, but you won't be able tohelp. [DOCTOR] Oh, no, not that kind of doctor. That's incredible, don't youthink, Amy? [AMY] Absolutely. One of my favourites. [VINCENT] One of my favourite whats? You've never seen my work before. [AMY] Ah yes. One of my favourite paintings that I've ever seen,generally. [VINCENT] Then you can't have seen many paintings, then. I know it'sterrible. It's the best I can do. Your hair's orange. [AMY] Yes. So's yours. [VINCENT] Yes. It was more orange, but now is, of course, less. [DOCTOR] So. Er, Vincent, painted any churches recently? Any churchyplans? Are churches, chapels, religiousy stuff like that, somethingyou'd like to get into? You know, fairly soon? [VINCENT] Well, there is one church I'm thinking of painting when theweather is right. [DOCTOR] That is very good news. [WOMAN] She's been murdered! Help me! [DOCTOR] That, on the other hand, isn't quite such good news. Come on,Amy, Vincent! --------------------------------------- (Street) [MAN [OC]] She's been ripped to shreds! [DOCTOR] Please, let me look. I'm a doctor. [WOMAN 2 [OC]] Who is it? [DOCTOR] Oh no, no, no. [MAN [OC]] Is she dead? [MOTHER] Away, all of you vultures. This is my daughter. Giselle. Whatmonster could have done this? Get away from her! [DOCTOR] Okay, okay. [MOTHER] Get that madman out of here! [MOTHER] You bring this on us. Your madness! You! [WOMAN 2] He's to blame! --------------------------------------- (Alley) [DOCTOR] Are you all right? [VINCENT] Yes, I'm used to it. [DOCTOR] Has anything like this murder happened here before? [VINCENT] Only a week ago. It's a terrible time. [DOCTOR] As I thought. As I thought. Come on, we'd better get you home. [VINCENT] Where are you staying tonight? [DOCTOR] Oh, you're very kind. --------------------------------------- (Courtyard) [DOCTOR] Dark night. Very starry. [VINCENT] It's not much. I live on my own. But you should be okay forone night. One night. [AMY] We're going to stay with him? [DOCTOR] Until he paints that church. [VINCENT] Watch out. That one's wet. [AMY] What? --------------------------------------- (Vincent's home) [VINCENT] Sorry about all the clutter. [DOCTOR] Some clutter. [VINCENT] I've come to accept the only person who's going to love mypaintings is me. [AMY] Wow. I mean, really. Wow. [VINCENT] Yeah, I know it's a mess. I'll have a proper clear out. Imust, I really must. [VINCENT] Coffee, anyone? [DOCTOR] Not for me, actually. [DOCTOR] You know, you should be careful with these. They're precious. [VINCENT] Precious to me. Not precious to anyone else. [AMY] They're precious to me [VINCENT] Well, you're very kind. And kindness is most welcome. [DOCTOR] Right, so, this church, then. Near here, is it? [VINCENT] What is it with you and the church? [DOCTOR] Oh, just casually interested in it, you know. [VINCENT] Far from casual. It seems to me you never talk about anythingelse. He's a strange one. [DOCTOR] Okay, so, let's talk about you, then. What are you interestedin? [VINCENT] Well, look around. Art. It seems to me there's so much more tothe world than the average eye is allowed to see. I believe, if youlook hard, there are more wonders in this universe than you could everhave dreamed of. [DOCTOR] You don't have to tell me. [VINCENT] It's colour. Colour that holds the key. I can hear thecolours. Listen to them. Every time I step outside, I feel nature isshouting at me. Come on. Come and get me. Come on. Come on! Capture mymystery! [DOCTOR] Maybe you've had enough coffee now. How about some nice calmingtea? Let's get you a cup of chamomile or something, shall we? Amy.Where's Amy? [DOCTOR] No, no, no! --------------------------------------- (Courtyard) [DOCTOR] Amy? Amy? What happened? [AMY] I don't know. I didn't see it. I was having a look at thepaintings out here when something hit me from behind. [DOCTOR] It's okay. He's gone now and we're here. [VINCENT] No! No! [DOCTOR] Take it easy. Take it easy! [AMY] What's happening? What's he doing? [DOCTOR] I don't know. [DOCTOR] Oh, dear. [VINCENT] Run. Run! [DOCTOR] Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's not a bad idea. Amy, get back. He'shaving some kind of fit. I'll try to calm him down. [DOCTOR] Easy, Vincent, easy. Look. Look, look, look. It's me, it's me,it's me. It's the Doctor, look. No-one else is here. So, Vincent [VINCENT] Look out! [AMY] I can't see anything. What is it? [DOCTOR] That is a good question. Let me help you. [VINCENT] You can see him, too? [DOCTOR] Yes. Ish. Well, no. Not really. [VINCENT] You couldn't see him? [DOCTOR] No. No. Oi! [VINCENT] He's gone. [DOCTOR] Oh, right. Yes. Of course. --------------------------------------- (Vincent's home) [DOCTOR] Right. So he's invisible. What did he looklike? [VINCENT] I'll show you. [DOCTOR] Oh, no, no. No, no! [VINCENT] What? [DOCTOR] It's just er, that was quite a good. Oh, no. On you go. [DOCTOR] Okay. Okay. Right. Amy, make Mister Van Gogh comfortable. Don'tlet any invisible monsters in through the front door. [AMY] But it could be outside, waiting. [DOCTOR] Well, don't worry. I'll risk it. What's the worst that canhappen? [AMY] You could get torn into pieces by a monster you can't see. [DOCTOR] Oh right, yes, that. Don't worry. I'll be back before you cansay where's he got to now? Not that fast! But pretty fast. See youaround. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] Right. You in here somewhere? I can't apologise enough. Ithought you were just a useless gadget. I thought you were just anembarrassing present from a dull godmother with two heads and badbreath. Twice. How wrong can a man be? [DOCTOR] Good. Okay, you're working. Now, see what you make of this. Whois that? [DOCTOR] No, I know it's not that. There are thousands of them and youcan see them plain as day. [DOCTOR] No. Definitely not. This is the problem with theimpressionists. Not accurate enough. This would never happen withGainsborough or one of those proper painters. Sorry, Vincent. You willjust have to draw something better. --------------------------------------- (Alleyway) [DOCTOR] That's better, old girl. Time delay, but you always get itright in the end. Good. Let's find out who this is, then. Well, well,there you are. [DOCTOR] Maybe not that soon. --------------------------------------- (Village) [DOCTOR] Take that, and that. [DOCTOR] Never do that! You scared the living daylights out of me. [AMY] Sorry, I got bored. As much as you admire his command of colourand shape, it is hard to get fond of Vincent Van Gogh's snoring. --------------------------------------- (Vincent's bedroom) [DOCTOR] Wake, wakey, rise and shine! Breakfast isserved in the courtyard. Whoa! What a morning. Come on. And Amy's got alittle surprise for you. --------------------------------------- (Courtyard) [AMY] I thought I'd brighten things up to thank youfor saving me last night. [VINCENT] Ah. [AMY] I thought you might like, you know, possibly to perhaps paint themor something? Might be a thought. [VINCENT] Yes, well, they're not my favourite flower. [AMY] You don't like sunflowers? [VINCENT] No, it's not that I don't like them. I find them complex.Always somewhere between living and dying. Half-human as they turn tothe sun. A little disgusting. But, you know, they are a challenge. [DOCTOR] And one I'm pretty sure you'll rise to. But, moving on, there'ssomething I need to show you. --------------------------------------- (Vincent's home) [VINCENT] That's him. And the eyes, without mercy. [DOCTOR] This is a creature called the Krafayis. They travel in space.They travel as a pack, scavenging across the universe. And sometimesone of them gets left behind. And because they are a brutal race, theothers never come back. So, dotted all around the universe areindividual, utterly merciless, utterly abandoned Krafayis. And whatthey do is, well, kill, until they're killed. Which they usuallyaren't. Because other creatures can't see them. [VINCENT] But I can. [DOCTOR] Yes. And that's why we are in a unique position today, myfriend, to end this reign of terror. So, feeling like painting thechurch today? [VINCENT] What about the monster? [DOCTOR] Take my word for it. If you paint it, he will come. [VINCENT] Okay. I'll get my things. [DOCTOR] In your own time. And I promise you, we'll be out of your hairby this time tomorrow. [DOCTOR] This is risky. [AMY] Riskier than normal? [DOCTOR] Well, think about it. This is the middle of Vincent Van Gogh'sgreatest year of painting. If we're not careful, the net result of ourpleasant little trip will be the brutal murder of the greatest artistwho ever lived. Half the pictures on the wall of the Museé D'Orsay willdisappear. And it will be our fault. --------------------------------------- (Vincent's bedroom) [DOCTOR] Vincent? Vincent! Vincent, can I help? [VINCENT] It's so clear you cannot help. And when you leave, andeveryone always leaves, I will be left once more with an empty heartand no hope. [DOCTOR] My experience is that there is, you know, surprisingly, alwayshope. [VINCENT] Then your experience is incomplete. I know how it will end.And it will not end well. [DOCTOR] Come on. Come out. Come on, let's go outside. [VINCENT] Get out! You get out. What are you doing here? What are youdoing here? [DOCTOR] Very well. I'll leave. I'll leave you. --------------------------------------- (Courtyard) [AMY] What's happening? [DOCTOR] We're leaving. Everyone knows he's a delicate man. Just monthsfrom now he'll, he'll take his own life. [AMY] Don't say that. Please. --------------------------------------- (Vincent's home) [DOCTOR] Come on. We have to do this on our own. Go to the church at theright time and hope the monster still turns up. [VINCENT] I'm ready. Let's go. --------------------------------------- (Road) [AMY] I'm sorry you're so sad. [VINCENT] But I'm not. Sometimes these moods torture me for weeks, formonths. But I'm good now. If Amy Pond can soldier on, then so canVincent Van Gogh. [AMY] I'm not soldiering on. I'm fine. [VINCENT] Oh, Amy. I hear the song of your sadness. You've lost someone,I think. [AMY] I'm not sad. [VINCENT] They why are you crying? It's all right. I understand. [AMY] I'm not sure I do. [DOCTOR] Okay. Okay. So, now, we must have a plan. When the creaturereturns [VINCENT] Then we shall fight him again. [DOCTOR] Well, yes, tick. But last night we were lucky. Amy could havebeen killed. So this time, for a start, we have to make sure I can seehim too. [AMY] And how are we meant to do that, suddenly? [DOCTOR] The answer's in this box. I had an excellent, if smelly,godmother. [VINCENT] Oh no, it's that poor girl from the village. [AMY] You do have a plan, don't you? [DOCTOR] No. It's a thing. It's like a plan, but with more greatness. --------------------------------------- (Auvers Churchyard) [DOCTOR] And you'll be sure to tell me if you seeany, you know, monsters. [VINCENT] Yes. While I may be mad, I'm not stupid. [DOCTOR] No. Quite. And, to be honest, I'm not sure about mad either. Itseems to me depression is a very complex [VINCENT] Shush. I'm working. [DOCTOR] Well, yes. Paint. Do painting! I remember watching Michelangelopainting the Sistine Chapel. Wow! What a whinger. I kept saying to him,look, if you're scared of heights, you shouldn't have taken the jobthen. [AMY] Shush. [DOCTOR] And Picasso. What a ghastly old goat. I kept telling him,concentrate, Pablo. It's one eye, either side of the face. [AMY] Quiet. [DOCTOR] Is this how time normally passes? Really slowly. In the rightorder. If there's one thing I can't stand, it's an unpunctual alienattack. [AMY] Are you okay? You seem a bit, if I didn't know you better, I'd saynervous. [DOCTOR] Yes, there's something not right and I can't quite put myfinger on it. [VINCENT] There. He's at the window. [DOCTOR] Where? [VINCENT] There, on the right. [DOCTOR] As I thought. Come on. I'm going in. [VINCENT] Well I'm coming too. [DOCTOR] No! You're Vincent Van Gogh. No. [VINCENT] But you're not armed. [DOCTOR] I am. [VINCENT] What with? [DOCTOR] Overconfidence, this, and a small screwdriver. I'm absolutelysorted. Just have to find the right crosactic setting and stun him withit. Sonic never fails. Anyway, Amy, only one thought, one simpleinstruction. Don't follow me under any circumstances. [AMY] I won't. [VINCENT] Will you follow him? [AMY] Of course. [VINCENT] I love you. [AMY] Has he moved? [VINCENT] No. Just shifted to the next window. But, wait! He's turningnow. --------------------------------------- (Church) [DOCTOR] Damn, he's moved. --------------------------------------- (Auvers Churchyard) [AMY] Doctor? [VINCENT] Amy! --------------------------------------- (Church) [AMY] Doctor! [DOCTOR] Argh! I thought I told you. Never mind. We'll talk about itlater. Quick, in here. [DOCTOR] Absolutely quiet. Can you breath a little quieter, please? [AMY] No. He's gone past. [DOCTOR] Shush. [DOCTOR] I think he heard us. [DOCTOR] That is impressive hearing he's got. What's less impressive areour chances of survival. [VINCENT] Hey! Are you looking for me, sonny? Come on, over here.Because I'm right here waiting for you. [VINCENT] Come on. Quickly. Get behind me. [DOCTOR] Doing anything? [VINCENT] Uh uh. --------------------------------------- (Outside the Church) [DOCTOR] Where is he? [VINCENT] Where do you think he is, you idiot? Use your head. [DOCTOR] Anything? [VINCENT] Nothing. In fact, he seemed to rather enjoy it. [DOCTOR] Ooo. [VINCENT] Duck! Left. [VINCENT] Right, sorry. Your right, my left. [DOCTOR] This is no good at all. Run like crazy and regroup. [AMY] Oh, come on, in here. --------------------------------------- (Crypt) [DOCTOR] Right. Okay. Here's the plan. Amy, Rory. [AMY] Who? [DOCTOR] Sorry. Er, Vincent. [AMY] What is the plan? [DOCTOR] I don't know, actually. My only definite plan is that in futureI'm definitely just using this screwdriver for screwing in screws. [VINCENT] Give me a second. I'll be back. [DOCTOR] I suppose we could try talking to him. [AMY] Talking to him? [DOCTOR] Well, yes. Might be interesting to know his side of the story.Yes, though maybe he's not really in the mood for conversation right atthis precise moment. [DOCTOR] Well, no harm trying. Listen. Listen! I know you can understandme, even though I know you won't understand why you can understand me.I also know that no one's talked to you for a pretty long stretch, butplease, listen. I also don't belong on this planet. I also am alone. Ifyou trust me, I'm sure we can come to some kind of, you know,understanding. And then, and then, who knows? [VINCENT] Over here, mate! [DOCTOR] What's it up to now? [VINCENT] It's moving round the room. Feeling its way around. [DOCTOR] What? [VINCENT] It's like it's trapped. It's moving round the edges of theroom. [AMY] I can't see a thing. [DOCTOR] I am really stupid. [DOCTOR] Oh, get a grip! This is not a moment to re-evaluate yourself-esteem. [DOCTOR] No, I am really stupid, and I'm growing old. Why does it attackbut never eat its victims? And why was it abandoned by its pack andleft here to die? And why is it feeling its way helplessly around thewalls of the room? It can't see. It's blind. Yes, and that explains whyit has such perfect hearing! [VINCENT] Which unfortunately also explains why it is now turning aroundand heading straight for us. [DOCTOR] Vincent. Vincent, what's happening? [VINCENT] It's charging now. Get back. Get back! [VINCENT] He wasn't without mercy at all. He was without sight. I didn'tmean that to happen. I only meant to wound it, I never meant to [DOCTOR] He's trying to say something. [VINCENT] What is it? [DOCTOR] I'm having trouble making it out, but I think he's saying, I'mafraid. I'm afraid. There, there. Shush, shush. It's okay, it's okay.You'll be fine. Shush. [VINCENT] He was frightened, and he lashed out. Like humans who lash outwhen they're frightened. Like the villagers who scream at me. Like thechildren who throw stones at me. [DOCTOR] Sometimes winning, winning is no fun at all. --------------------------------------- (Field) [VINCENT] Hold my hand, Doctor. Try to see what I see. We are so luckywe are still alive to see this beautiful world. Look at the sky. It'snot dark and black and without character. The black is in fact deepblue. And over there, lighter blue. And blowing through the bluenessand the blackness, the wind swirling through the air and then, shining,burning, bursting through, the stars. Can you see how they roar theirlight? Everywhere we look, the complex magic of nature blazes beforeour eyes. [DOCTOR] I've seen many things, my friend. But you're right. Nothingquite as wonderful as the things you see. [VINCENT] I will miss you terribly. --------------------------------------- (Vincent's home) [VINCENT] I only wish I had something of real valueto give you. [DOCTOR] Oh, no, no, no. I could never accept such an extraordinarygift. [VINCENT] Very well. You're not the first to decline the offer. Amy, theblessed, the wonderful. [AMY] Be good to yourself, and be kind to yourself. [VINCENT] I'll try my best. [AMY] And maybe give the beard a little trim before you next kisssomeone. [VINCENT] I will, I will. And if you tire of this Doctor of yours,return, and we will have children by the dozen. [AMY] Eek. [VINCENT] Doctor, my friend. We have fought monsters together and wehave won. On my own, I fear I may not do as well. --------------------------------------- (Courtyard) [DOCTOR] Are you thinking what I'm thinking? [AMY] I was thinking I may need some food or something before we leave. [DOCTOR] Well, no, you're not thinking exactly what I'm thinking.Vincent! I've got something I'd like to show you. Maybe just tidyyourself up a bit first. --------------------------------------- (Alleyway) [DOCTOR] Now, you know we've had quite a few chats about the possibilitythere might be more to life than normal people imagine? [VINCENT] Yes. [DOCTOR] Well, brace yourself, Vinny. [VINCENT [OC]] How come I'm the crazy one, and you two have stayed sane? --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [VINCENT] What do these things all do? [DOCTOR] Oh, a huge variety of things. This one here, for instance,plays soothing music. While this one makes a huge amount of noise. Andthis one makes everything go absolutely tonto. [VINCENT] And this one? [DOCTOR] That's a friction contrafibulator! [VINCENT] And this? [DOCTOR] That's ketchup. And that one's mustard. [VINCENT] Mmm, nice. Come on, back to the cafe and you can tell me aboutall the wonders of the universe. [DOCTOR] Good idea. Although, actually, there's a little something I'dlike to show you first. --------------------------------------- (Outside the Museé) [VINCENT] Where are we? [DOCTOR] Paris, 2010 AD. And this is the mighty Museé D'Orsay, home tomany of the greatest paintings in history. [VINCENT] Oh, that's wonderful. [DOCTOR] Ignore that. I've got something more important to show you. --------------------------------------- (Museé d'Orsay) [SINGER] Take all your chances while you can. You never know whenthey'll pass you by. Like the sum the mathematician cannot solve. Likeme trying my hardest to explain. [SINGER] It's all about your cries and kisses, and those first stepsthat I can't calculate. [DOCTOR] Doctor Black, we met a few days ago. I asked you about thechurch at Auvers. [BLACK] Oh, yes. Glad to be of help. You were nice about my tie. [DOCTOR] Yes. And today is another cracker if I may say so. But I justwondered, between you and me, in a hundred words, where do you thinkVan Gogh rates in the history of art? [BLACK] Well, big question, but to me, Van Gogh is the finest painter ofthem all. Certainly, the most popular great painter of all time. Themost beloved. His command of colour, the most magnificent. Hetransformed the pain of his tormented life into ecstatic beauty. Painis easy to portray, but to use your passion and pain to portray theecstasy and joy and magnificence of our world. No one had ever done itbefore. Perhaps no one ever will again. To my mind, that strange, wildman who roamed the fields of Provence was not only the world's greatestartist, but also one of the greatest men who ever lived. [DOCTOR] Vincent. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Is it too much? [VINCENT] No. They are tears of joy. Thank you, sir. Thank you. [BLACK] You're welcome. You're welcome. [VINCENT] Sorry about the beard. --------------------------------------- (Olive grove) [VINCENT] This changes everything. I'll step outtomorrow with my easel on my back a different man. I still can'tbelieve that one of the haystacks was in the museum. How embarrassing. [DOCTOR] It's been a great adventure and a great honour. [VINCENT] You've turned out to be the first doctor ever actually to makea difference to my life. [DOCTOR] I'm delighted. I won't ever forget you. [VINCENT] And you are sure marriage is out of the question? [AMY] This time. I'm not really the marrying kind. Come on. Let's goback to the gallery right now. --------------------------------------- (Outside the Museé) [AMY] Time can be re-written. I know it can. Comeon! Oh, the long life of Vincent Van Gogh. There'll be hundreds of newpaintings. [DOCTOR] I'm not sure there will. --------------------------------------- (Museé d'Orsay) [AMY] Come on! [BLACK [OC]] We have here the last work of Vincent Van Gogh, whocommitted suicide at only thirty seven. He is now acknowledged to beone of the foremost artists of all time. If you follow me now. [AMY] So you were right. No new paintings. We didn't make a differenceat all. [DOCTOR] I wouldn't say that. The way I see it, every life is a pile ofgood things and bad things. Hey. The good things don't always softenthe bad things, but vice versa, the bad things don't necessarily spoilthe good things or make them unimportant. And we definitely added tohis pile of good things. And, if you look carefully, maybe we didindeed make a couple of little changes. [AMY] No Krafayis. [DOCTOR] No Krafayis. [AMY] If we had got married, our kids would have had very, very redhair. [DOCTOR] The ultimate ginger. [AMY] The ultimate ginge. Brighter than sunflowers.

Take me to my room. --------------------------------------- (Doctor's room) [CRAIG] Yeah, this is Mark's old room. He owns the place. Moved outabout a month ago.

I've got thestrangest feeling we shouldn't touch it. --------------------------------------- (Doctor's room) [DOCTOR] Earth to Pond, Earth to Pond. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR [OC]] Come in, Pond. [AMY] Doctor! [AMY] Sorry. [DOCTOR] Could you not wreck my new earpiece, Pond? --------------------------------------- (Craig's room) [CRAIG] No, I mean, he seems a laugh. He's a bit weird.

And whatever's stopping her is upstairs in that flat. So, goupstairs and sort it. --------------------------------------- (Aickman Road) [MAN [OC]] Please. My little girl's hurt. --------------------------------------- (Doctor's room) [DOCTOR] I don't know what it is yet. Anything thatcan stop the Tardis from landing is big. Scary big. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [AMY] Wait. Are you scared? --------------------------------------- (House) [MAN [OC]] I'm so sorry, but will you help me? Please?

[DOCTOR [OC]] Orange juice. Neocene Arbuckle. Rare tarantula on thetable. Oh. --------------------------------------- (Doctor's room) [DOCTOR] I can't go up there until I know what it isand how to deal with it. And it is vital that this man upstairs doesn'trealise who and what I am. So no sonicking. No advanced technology. Ican only use this because we're on scramble. To anyone else hearingthis conversation, we're talking absolute gibberish. --------------------------------------- (Craig's room) [DOCTOR [OC]] Practical eruption in chicken.Descartes Lombardy spiral. --------------------------------------- (Doctor's room) [DOCTOR] Now all I've got to do is pass as anordinary human being. Simple. What could possibly go wrong? [AMY [OC]] Have you seen you? [DOCTOR] So you're just going to be snide. No helpful hints? --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [AMY] Hmm. Well, here's one. Bow tie, get rid. --------------------------------------- (Doctor's room) [DOCTOR] Bow ties are cool. Come on, Amy, I'm anormal bloke. Tell me what normal blokes do. [AMY [OC]] They watch telly, they play football --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [AMY] They go down the pub. --------------------------------------- (Doctor's room) [DOCTOR] I could do those things. I don't, but Icould. [DOCTOR] Hang on. Wait, wait, wait. Amy? [DOCTOR] Interesting. Localised time loop. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [AMY] Ow. What's all that? --------------------------------------- (Doctor's room) [DOCTOR] Time distortion. Whatever's happeningupstairs is still affecting you. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [AMY] It's stopped. Ish. --------------------------------------- (Doctor's room) [AMY [OC]] How about your end? [DOCTOR] My end's good. [AMY [OC]] So --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [AMY] Doesn't sound great, but nothing to worryabout? --------------------------------------- (Doctor's room) [DOCTOR] No, no, no, not really. Just keep thezigzag plotter on full. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR [OC]] That'll protect you. [AMY] Ow. --------------------------------------- (Doctor's room) [DOCTOR] Amy, I said the zigzag plotter. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [AMY] I pulled the zigzag plotter. --------------------------------------- (Doctor's room) [DOCTOR] What, you're standing with the door behindyou? --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [AMY] Yes. --------------------------------------- (Doctor's room) [DOCTOR] Okay, take two steps to your right and pullit again. [DOCTOR] Now, I must not use the sonic. I've got work to do. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR [OC]] Need to pick up a few items. [AMY] Hey. --------------------------------------- (Aickman Road) [DOCTOR] Shush.

[DOCTOR] What's stopping you? [CRAIG] She can't. You need loads of qualifications. [SOPHIE] Yeah, true. Plus it's scary. Everyone I know lives round here.Like, Craig got offered a job in London. Better money. He didn't takeit. [CRAIG] What's wrong with staying here? I can't see the point of London. [DOCTOR] Well, perhaps that's you, then. Perhaps you'll just have tostay here, secure and a little bit miserable, till the day you drop.Better than trying and failing, eh? [SOPHIE] You think I'd fail? [DOCTOR] Everybody's got dreams, Sophie. Very few are going to achievethem, so why pretend? [DOCTOR] Perhaps, in the whole wide universe, a call centre about iswhere you should be. [SOPHIE] Why are you saying that? That's horrible. [DOCTOR] Is it true? [SOPHIE] Of course it's not true. I'm not staying in a call centre allmy life. I can do anything I want. [SOPHIE] Oh, yeah. Right. Oh, my God. Did you see what he just did? [CRAIG] No, sorry, what's happening? Are you going to live with monkeysnow? [DOCTOR] It's a big old world, Sophie.

It was built to contain the most fearedthing in all the universe. [DOCTOR] And it's a fairy tale, a legend. It can't be real. [RIVER] If it is real, it's here and it's opening, and it's gotsomething to do with your Tardis exploding. Hidden, obviously. Buriedfor centuries. You won't find it on a map. [DOCTOR] No, but if you buried the most dangerous thing in the universe,you'd want to remember where you put it. --------------------------------------- (Stonehenge) [AMY] How come it's not new? [RIVER] Because it's already old. It's been here thousands of years. Noone knows exactly how long. [AMY] Okay, this Pandorica thing. Last time we saw you, you warned usabout it, after we climbed out of the Byzantium. [RIVER] Spoilers. [AMY] No, but you told the Doctor you'd see him again when the Pandoricaopens. [RIVER] Maybe I did, but I haven't yet. But I will have. Doctor, I'mpicking up fry particles everywhere. Energy weapons discharged on thissite. [DOCTOR] If the Pandorica is here, it contains the mightiest warrior inhistory. Now, half the galaxy would want a piece of that. Maybe evenfight over it. We need to get down there. [RIVER] Right then. Ready. [DOCTOR] The Underhenge. --------------------------------------- (Pandorica chamber) [DOCTOR] It's a Pandorica. [RIVER] More than just a fairy tale. [DOCTOR] There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior. A nameless,terrible thing, soaked in the blood of a billion galaxies. The mostfeared being in all the cosmos. And nothing could stop it, or hold it,or reason with it. One day it would just drop out of the sky and teardown your world. [AMY] How did it end up in there? [DOCTOR] You know fairy tales. A good wizard tricked it. [RIVER] I hate good wizards in fairy tales. They always turn out to behim. [AMY] So, it's kind of like Pandora's Box, then? Almost the same name. [DOCTOR] Sorry, what? [AMY] The story. Pandora's Box, with all the worst things in the worldin it. That was my favourite book when I was a kid. What's wrong? [DOCTOR] Your favourite school topic. Your favourite story. Never ignorea coincidence, unless you're busy. In which case, always ignore acoincidence. [RIVER] So can you open it? [DOCTOR] Easily. Anyone can break into a prison. But I'd rather knowwhat I'm going to find first. [RIVER] You won't have long to wait. It's already opening. There arelayers and layers of security protocols in there, and they're beingdisabled one by one. Like it's being unlocked from the inside. [DOCTOR] How long do we have? [RIVER] Hours at the most. [DOCTOR] What kind of security? [RIVER] Everything. Deadlocks, time stops, matter lines. [DOCTOR] What could need all that? [RIVER] What could get past all that? [DOCTOR] Think of the fear that went into making this box. What couldinspire that level of fear? Hello, you. Have we met? [RIVER] So why would it start to open now? [DOCTOR] No idea. [AMY] Ahem, And how could Vincent have known about it? He won't even beborn for centuries. [DOCTOR] The stones. These stones are great big transmitters,broadcasting a warning to everyone, everywhere, to every time zone. ThePandorica is opening. [RIVER] Doctor, everyone everywhere? [DOCTOR] Even poor Vincent heard it, in his dreams. But what's in there?What could justify all this? [RIVER] Doctor, everyone? [DOCTOR] Anything that powerful, I'd know about it. Why don't I know? [RIVER] Doctor, you said everyone could hear it. So who else is coming? [DOCTOR] Oh. [AMY] Oh? Oh, what? [RIVER] Okay. If it is basically a transmitter, we should be able tofold back the signal. [DOCTOR] Doing it. [AMY] Doing what? [RIVER] Stonehenge is transmitting. It's been transmitting for a while,so who heard? [DOCTOR] Okay, should be feeding back to you now. River, what's outthere? [RIVER] Give me a moment. [DOCTOR] River, quickly. Anything? [RIVER] Around this planet there are at least ten thousand starships. [AMY] At least? [RIVER] Ten thousand, a hundred thousand, a million, I don't know.There's too many readings. [DOCTOR] What kind of starships? [DALEK [OC]] Maintaining orbit. [DALEK 2 [OC]] I obey. Shield cover compromised on ion sectors. [AMY] Daleks. Those are Daleks. [DALEK [OC]] Scan detects no temporal activity. [DALEK 2 [OC]] Soft grid scan commencing. [DALEK [OC]] Reverse thrust for compensatory stabilisation. [RIVER] Daleks, Doctor. [DALEK [OC]] Launch preliminary armaments protocol. [DOCTOR] Yes. Okay, okay, okay, okay. Dalek fleet, minimum twelvethousand battleships, armed to the teeth. Ah! But we've got surprise onour side. They'll never expect three people to attack twelve thousandDalek battleships. Because we'd be killed instantly. So it would be afairly short surprise. Forget surprise. [CYBERMAN [OC]] Course correction proceeding.) [RIVER] Doctor, Cyberships. [DOCTOR] No, Dalek ships. Listen to them. Those are Dalek ships. [RIVER] Yes. Dalek ships and Cyberships. [DOCTOR] Well, we need to start a fight, turn them on each other. Imean, that's easy. It's the Daleks. They're so cross. [RIVER] Sontaran. Four battlefleets. [DOCTOR] Sontarans! Talk about cross, who stole all their handbags? [RIVER] Terileptil. Slitheen, Chelonian, Nestene, Drahvin. Sycorax,Haemogoth, Zygon, Atraxi, Draconian. They're all here for thePandorica. [DOCTOR] What are you? What could you possibly be? --------------------------------------- (Stonehenge) [AMY] What do we do? [RIVER] Doctor, listen to me. Everything that ever hated you is cominghere tonight. You can't win this. You can't even fight it. Doctor, thisonce, just this one time, please, you have to run. [DOCTOR] Run where? [RIVER] Fight how? [DOCTOR] The greatest military machine in the history of the universe. [AMY] What is? The Daleks? [DOCTOR] No. No, no, no, no, no. The Romans. --------------------------------------- (Cleopatra's tent) [COMMANDER] So. I return to my command after one week and discover we'vebeen playing host to Cleopatra. Who's in Egypt. And dead. [RIVER] Yes. Funny how things work out. [COMMANDER] The sky is falling and you make jokes. Who are you? [RIVER] When you fight Barbarians, what must they think of you? [COMMANDER] Oh, riddles now. [RIVER] Where do they think you come from? [COMMANDER] A place more deadly and more powerful and more impatientthan their tiny minds can imagine. [RIVER] Where do I come from? Your world has visitors. You're allBarbarians now. [COMMANDER] What is that? Tell me what? [RIVER] A fool would say the work of the Gods, but you've been a soldiertoo long to believe there are Gods watching over us. There is, however,a man. And tonight he's going to need your help. [MAN [OC]] Sir? [COMMANDER] One moment. [COMMANDER] Well, it seems you have a volunteer. --------------------------------------- (Pandorica chamber) [AMY] So what's this got to do with the Tardis? [DOCTOR] Nothing, as far as I know. [AMY] But Vincent's painting. The Tardis was exploding. Is that going tohappen? [DOCTOR] One problem at a time. There's forcefield technology insidethis box. If I can enhance the signal, I could extend it all overStonehenge. Could buy us half an hour. [AMY] What good is half an hour? [DOCTOR] There are fruit flies live on Hoppledom Six that live fortwenty minutes and they don't even mate for life. There was going to bea point to that. I'll get back to you. [AMY] So, are you proposing to someone? [DOCTOR] I'm sorry? [AMY] I found this in your pocket. [DOCTOR] No. No, no, that's er, a memory. A friend of mine. Someone Ilost. Do you mind? [AMY] It's weird. I feel, I don't know, something. [DOCTOR] People fall out of the world sometimes, but they always leavetraces. Little things we can't quite account for. Faces in photographs,luggage, half eaten meals, rings. Nothing is ever forgotten, notcompletely. And if something can be remembered, it can come back. [AMY] So, was she nice, your friend? [DOCTOR] Remember that night you flew away with me? [AMY] Of course I do. [DOCTOR] And you asked me why I was taking you and I told you therewasn't a reason. I was lying. [AMY] What, so you did have a reason? [DOCTOR] Your house. [AMY] My house. [DOCTOR] It was too big. Too many empty rooms. Does it ever bother you,Amy, that your life doesn't make any sense? [AMY] What was that? [DOCTOR] Okay, I need a proper look. Got to draw its fire, give it atarget. [AMY] How? [DOCTOR] You know how sometimes I have really brilliant ideas? [AMY] Yes. [DOCTOR] Sorry. [DOCTOR] Look at me, I'm a target! [AMY] What is that? [DOCTOR] Cyberarm. Arm of Cyberman. [AMY] And what's a Cyberman? [DOCTOR] Oh, sort of part man, part robot. The organic part must havedied out years ago. Now the robot part is looking for, well, freshmeat. [AMY] What, us? [DOCTOR] It's just like being an organ donor, except you're alive andsort of screaming. I need to get round behind it. Could you draw itsfire? [AMY] What, like you did? [DOCTOR] You'll be fine if you're quick. It's only got one arm,literally. [DOCTOR] Come here! [AMY] Doctor? [DOCTOR] Scrambled its circuits, but stay where you are, it could bebluffing. [AMY] Bluffing? It's an arm. [DOCTOR] I said stay where you are! [AMY] Doctor? [DOCTOR] Amy! [AMY] Doctor! [AMY] Doctor? [CYBERHEAD] You will be assimilated. [AMY] Yeah? You and whose body? --------------------------------------- (Underhenge) [AMY] Doctor? Doctor? [AMY] Who, who are you? [RORY] Hello, Amy. [RORY] Whoa, whoa, whoa. [SOLDIER] Sir, the man's coming round. [DOCTOR] Amy? Where's Amy? [RORY] She's fine, Doctor. Just unconscious. [DOCTOR] Okay. Yes, she's sedated, that's all. Half an hour, she'll befine. Okay, Romans. Good. I was just wishing for Romans. Good oldRiver. How many? [RORY] Fifty men up top, volunteers. What about that thing? [DOCTOR] Fifty? You're not exactly a legion. [RORY] Your friend was very persuasive, but it's a tough sell. [DOCTOR] Yes, I know that, Rory. I'm not exactly one to miss theobvious. But we need everything we can get. Okay, Cyberweapons. This isbasically a sentry box, so headless wonder here was a sentry. Probablygot himself duffed up by the locals. Never underestimate a Celt. [RORY] Doctor? [DOCTOR] Hush, Rory. Thinking. Why leave a Cyberman on guard, unlessit's a Cyberthing in the box. But why would they lock up one of theirown? Okay, no, not a Cyberthing, but what? What? No, I'm missingsomething obvious, Rory. Something big. Something right slap in frontof me. I can feel it. [RORY] Yeah, I think you probably are. [DOCTOR] I'll get it in a minute. [DOCTOR] Hello again. [RORY] Hello. [DOCTOR] How've you been? [RORY] Good. Yeah. Good. I mean, Roman. [DOCTOR] Rory, I'm not trying to be rude, but you died. [RORY] Yeah, I know. I was there. [DOCTOR] You died and then you were erased from time. You didn't justdie, you were never born at all. You never existed. [RORY] Erased? What does that mean? [DOCTOR] How can you be here? [RORY] I don't know. It's kind of fuzzy. [DOCTOR] Fuzzy? [RORY] Well, I died and turned into a Roman. It's very distracting. Didshe miss me? --------------------------------------- (Pandorica chamber) [RORY] What is it? What's happening? [DOCTOR] The final phase. It's opening. --------------------------------------- (Salisbury Plain) [RIVER] You're surrounded. Have you got a plan? [DOCTOR [OC]] Yes. Now hurry up and --------------------------------------- (Pandorica chamber) [DOCTOR] Get the Tardis here. I need equipment. Whatare you? They're all here, all of them, all for you. What could youpossibly be? --------------------------------------- (Stonehenge) [DOCTOR [OC]] Sorry, sorry, dropped it. Hello,Stonehenge! Who takes the Pandorica, takes the universe. But bad news,everyone, [DOCTOR] Because guess who? Ha! Listen, you lot, you're all whizzingabout. It's really very distracting. Could you all just stay still aminute because I am talking! The question of the hour is, who's got thePandorica? Answer, I do. Next question. Who's coming to take it fromme? Come on! Look at me. No plan, no back up, no weapons worth a damn.Oh, and something else. I don't have anything to lose! So, if you'resitting up there in your silly little spaceship, with all your sillylittle guns, and you've got any plans on taking the Pandorica tonight,just remember who's standing in your way. Remember every black day Iever stopped you, and then, and then, do the smart thing. Let somebodyelse try first. [DOCTOR] That'll keep them squabbling for half an hour. Romans. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [RIVER] Okay. [RIVER] What's the matter with you? --------------------------------------- (Pandorica chamber) [RORY] They're still out there. What do we do now? [DOCTOR] If I can stop whatever's in this box getting out, then they'llgo home. [RORY] Right. [DOCTOR] Rory, I'm sorry. You're going to have to be very brave now. [AMY] Oh, my head. [DOCTOR] Ah. [AMY] Ah. [DOCTOR] Just your basic knock-out drops. Get some fresh air, you'll befine. [AMY] Is it safe up there? [DOCTOR] Not remotely, but it's fresh. [AMY] Fine. Oh, you're the guy, yeah? The one who did the swordy thing. [RORY] Yeah. [AMY] Well, thanks for the swording. Nice swording. [RORY] No problem. My men are up there. They'll look after you. [AMY] Good. Love a Roman. [RORY] She doesn't remember me. How can she not remember me? [DOCTOR] Because you never existed. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [RIVER] What are you doing? What's wrong? --------------------------------------- (Pandorica chamber) [DOCTOR] There are cracks. Cracks in time. There'sgoing to be a huge explosion in the future, on one particular day. Andevery other moment in history is cracking around it. [RORY] So how does that work? What kind of explosion? What exploded? [RIVER [memory]] And for those of us who can't read the base code of theuniverse? [DOCTOR [memory]] Amy's time. [DOCTOR] Doesn't matter. The cracks are everywhere now. Get too close tothem and you can fall right out of the universe. [RORY] So I fell through a crack and now I was never born? [DOCTOR] Basically. [RORY] Well, how did I end up here? [DOCTOR] I don't know, you shouldn't have. What happened? From yourpoint of view, what physically happened? [RORY] I was in the cave, with you and Amy. I was dying, and then I wasjust here, a Roman soldier. A proper Roman. Head full of Roman stuff. Awhole other life, just here like I'd woken up from a dream. I startedto think it was a dream, you and Amy and Leadworth. And then today, inthe camp, the men were talking about the visitors. The girl with thered hair. I thought you'd come back for me. But she can't even rememberme. [DOCTOR] Oh, shut up. [RORY] What? [DOCTOR] Go get her. [RORY] But I don't understand. Why am I here? [DOCTOR] Because you are. The universe is big. It's vast and complicatedand ridiculous, and sometimes, very rarely, impossible things justhappen and we call them miracles, and that's the theory. Nine hundredyears, never seen one yet, but this would do me. Now get upstairs.She's Amy and she's surrounded by Romans. I'm not sure history can takeit. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [RIVER] Okay. You okay now? [VOICE [OC]] Silence will fall. --------------------------------------- (Outside Amy's house) [RIVER] Why have you brought me here? [RIVER] Okay, so something's been here. --------------------------------------- (Amy's bedroom) [RIVER] Amy. Oh, Doctor, why do I let you out? [COMMANDER [memory]] A place more deadly and more powerful and moreimpatient than their tiny minds can imagine. [AMY [memory]] So it's kind of like Pandora's box, then? That was myfavourite book when I was a kid. [RIVER] Oh no. --------------------------------------- (Stonehenge) [RORY] Are you okay? [AMY] Did the Doctor send you? I'm fine. He just fusses. [RORY] You got a blanket. That's good. Who gave you that? [AMY] One of the fellows. [RORY] Which one? [AMY] Just one of them. Does it matter? [RORY] No. No. Forget him. It. Forget it. [AMY] What's your name? [RORY] I'm Rory. What's wrong? [AMY] Nothing. It's just not what you expect Romans to be called. What'sit short for? Roranicus? [RORY] Yeah. You're crying. --------------------------------------- (Pandorica chamber) [DOCTOR] The Tardis, where is it? Hurry up. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [RIVER] Don't raise your voice, don't look alarmed,just listen. --------------------------------------- (Stonehenge) [RORY] Hey, what's wrong? [AMY] Nothing. It's like, it's like I'm happy. Why am I happy? --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [RIVER] They're not real. They can't be. They're allright here in the story book. Those actual Romans. The ones I sent you,the ones you're with right now. They're all in a book in Amy's house. Achildren's picture book. --------------------------------------- (Pandorica chamber) [DOCTOR] What are you even doing there? [RIVER [OC]] It doesn't matter. The Tardis went wrong. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [RIVER] Doctor, how is this possible? --------------------------------------- (Pandorica chamber) [DOCTOR] Something's using her memories. Amy'smemories. [RIVER [OC]] But how? [DOCTOR] You said something had been there. [RIVER [OC]] Yes. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [RIVER] There's burn marks on the grass outside. --------------------------------------- (Pandorica chamber) [RIVER [OC]] Landing patterns. [DOCTOR] If they've been to her house, they could have used her psychicresidue. Structures can hold memories, that's why houses have ghosts.They could've taken a snapshot of Amy's memories. But why? --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [RIVER] Doctor, who are those Romans? --------------------------------------- (Pandorica chamber) [DOCTOR] Projections, or duplicates. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [RIVER] But they were helping us. My lipstick evenworked. --------------------------------------- (Pandorica chamber) [DOCTOR] They might think they're real. The perfectdisguise. They actually believe their own cover story, right untilthey're activated. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [RIVER] Doctor, that Centurion. --------------------------------------- (Stonehenge) [RORY] What's the matter? [AMY] Nothing. I don't know why I'm doing that. [RORY] It's me. Amy, please. It's me. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [RIVER] It's a trap. It has to be. They used Amy toconstruct a scenario you'd believe, to get close to you. --------------------------------------- (Pandorica chamber) [DOCTOR] Why? Who'd do that? What for? It doesn'tmake sense. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR [OC]] River? River? --------------------------------------- (Pandorica chamber) [DOCTOR] River, what's happening? --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [RIVER] I don't know. It's the engines. Doctor,there's something wrong with the Tardis, like something else iscontrolling it. --------------------------------------- (Pandorica chamber) [DOCTOR] You're flying it wrong. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [RIVER] I'm flying it perfectly. You taught me. --------------------------------------- (Pandorica chamber) [DOCTOR] Where are you? What's the date reading? --------------------------------------- (Tardis) (Pandorica chamber) [DOCTOR] You need to get out of there now. Any othertime zone. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR [OC}] Just go. [RIVER] I can't break free. --------------------------------------- (Pandorica chamber) [DOCTOR] Well, then shut down the Tardis. Shut downeverything! --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [RIVER] I can't! [VOICE [OC]] Silence will fall. Silence will fall. --------------------------------------- (Stonehenge) [AMY] But I don't know you, I've never seen youbefore in my life. [RORY] You have. You know you have. It's me. [AMY] Why am I crying? [RORY] Because you remember me. I came back. You're crying because youremember me. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [RIVER] Someone else is flying it. An externalforce. I've lost control. --------------------------------------- (Pandorica chamber) [DOCTOR] But how? Why? [DOCTOR] Listen to me, just land her anywhere. Emergency landing, now.There are cracks in time. I've seen them everywhere, and they'regetting wider. The Tardis exploding is what causes them, but we canstop the cracks ever happening if you just land her. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [RIVER] It's not safe. --------------------------------------- (Pandorica chamber) [DOCTOR] Well, now. Ready to come out, are we? --------------------------------------- (Stonehenge) [RORY] Argh! No! No, please. No! I'm not going. I'mRory! --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [RIVER] Doctor? --------------------------------------- (Pandorica chamber) [RIVER [OC]] I'm down. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [RIVER] I've landed. [DOCTOR [OC]] Okay, just walk out of the doors. If there's no oneinside, the Tardis engines shut down automatically. --------------------------------------- (Pandorica chamber) [DOCTOR] Just get out of there. [RIVER [OC]] I'm going. [DOCTOR] Run! [RIVER [OC]] Doctor! Doctor, I can't open the doors! [DOCTOR] Amy! --------------------------------------- (Stonehenge) [RORY] Listen to me. You have to run. You have toget as far away from here as you can. I'm a thing! I'll kill you. Justgo! Please, no, I don't want to go. I'm Rory! I'm, I'm [AMY] Williams. Rory Williams from Leadworth. My boyfriend. How could Iever forget you? [RORY] Amy, you've got to run. I can't hold on. I'm going. [AMY] You are Rory Williams and you aren't going anywhere ever again. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [RIVER] Doctor, I can't open the doors! Doctor,please, I've got seconds! --------------------------------------- (Pandorica chamber) [DOCTOR] Plastic Romans. Duplicates, driven by theNestene Consciousness, eh? Deep cover, but what for? What are youdoing? What's in there, eh? What's coming out? [MARCELLUS] The Pandorica is ready. [DOCTOR] What, do you mean it's open? [WHITE] You have been scanned, assessed, understood, Doctor. --------------------------------------- (Stonehenge) [AMY] The ring. Remember the ring? You'd never letme wear it in case I lost it. [RORY] The Doctor gave it to me. [AMY] Show it to me. Show me the ring. [RORY] Amy. [AMY] Come on. Just show it to me. --------------------------------------- (Pandorica chamber) [DOCTOR] Scanned? Scanned by what, a box? [WHITE] Your limits and capacities have been extrapolated. [STARK] The Pandorica is ready. [DOCTOR] Ready for what? [WHITE] Ready for you. --------------------------------------- (Stonehenge) [AMY] There it is. You remember. This is you, andyou are staying. [RORY] No. [RORY] No! No! No! --------------------------------------- (Pandorica chamber) [DOCTOR] You lot, working together. An alliance. How is that possible? [WHITE] The cracks in the skin of the universe. [STARK] All reality is threatened. [CYBERLEADER] All universes will be deleted. [DOCTOR] What? And you've come to me for help? [STARK] No. We will save the universe from you! [DOCTOR] From me? [CYBERLEADER] All projections correlate. All evidence concurs. TheDoctor will destroy the universe. [DOCTOR] No, no, no. You've got it wrong. [CYBERLEADER] The Pandorica was constructed to ensure the safety of theAlliance. [WHITE] A scenario was devised from the memories of your companion. [STARK] A trap the Doctor could not resist. [WHITE] The cracks in time are the work of the Doctor. It is confirmed. [DOCTOR] No. no, no, not me, the Tardis. And I'm not in the Tardis, amI? [WHITE] Only the Doctor can pilot the Tardis. [DOCTOR] Please, listen to me! [WHITE] You will be prevented. [DOCTOR] Total event collapse! Every sun will supernova at every momentin history. The whole universe will never have existed. Please, listento me! [CYBERLEADER] Seal the Pandorica. [DOCTOR] No! Please, listen to me! The Tardis is exploding right now andI'm the only one who can stop it! Listen to me! --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [RIVER] I'm sorry, my love.

Doctor Who (26 Jun, 2010; Eleventh Doctor) - The Big Bang [AMELIA] Dear Santa. Thank you for the dolls and pencils and the fish.It's Easter now, so I hope I don't wake you, but, honest, it is anemergency. There's a crack in my wall. Aunt Sharon says it's just anordinary crack, but I know it's not, because at night there's voices.So, please, please, could you send someone to fix it, or a policeman,or [AMELIA] Back in a moment. --------------------------------------- (Living room) [CHRISTINE] It's a lovely painting, Amelia. And what are all these? [AMELIA] Stars. [SHARON] Oh, Amelia. [CHRISTINE] Tell you what, shall we go outside? --------------------------------------- (Outside the house) [CHRISTINE] What do you see, Amelia? [AMELIA] The moon. [CHRISTINE] And what else? [AMELIA] Just the dark. [CHRISTINE] But no stars. If there were stars up there, we'd be able tosee them, wouldn't we? Amelia, look at me. You know this is all just astory, don't you? You know there's no such thing as stars. --------------------------------------- (Amy's bedroom) [CHRISTINE [OC]] But there's bound to be a bit of her that feels alone.Amelia's a really good person. --------------------------------------- (Staircase) [CHRISTINE [OC]] It's quite common, actually.Throughout history, people have talked about seeing stars in the sky.God knows where it comes from. [SHARON [OC]] I just don't want her growing up and joining one of thoseStar Cults. I don't trust that Richard Dawkins. --------------------------------------- (National Museum) [AMELIA] Come on, Aunt Sharon. [SHARON] Oh, look at that. That's good, isn't it? [AMELIA] Not that. This way. [AMELIA] This way! [SHARON] Amelia! --------------------------------------- (Anomaly Exhibition) [SHARON [OC]] Amelia! [SHARON] Amelia? Amelia? [TANNOY] Amelia Pond, please go to the reception, please. Your aunt iswaiting for you there. Amelia Pond, please go to reception. [AMELIA] Sorry. [AMY] Okay, kid. This is where it gets complicated. --------------------------------------- (Stonehenge) [RORY] So the universe ended. You missed that, in 102 AD. I suppose thismeans you and I never get born at all. Twice, in my case. You wouldhave laughed at that. Please laugh. The Doctor said the universe washuge and ridiculous, and sometimes there were miracles. I could do witha ridiculous miracle about now. [DOCTOR] Rory! Listen, she's not dead. Well, she is dead, but it's notthe end of the world. Well, it is the end of the world. Actually, it'sthe end of the universe. Oh, no. Hang on. [RORY] Doctor? Doctor! [DOCTOR] You need to get me out of the Pandorica. [RORY] But you're not in the Pandorica. [DOCTOR] Yes, I am. Well, I'm not now, but I was back then. Well, backnow from your point of view, which is back then from my point of view.Time travel, you can't keep it straight in your head. It's easy to openfrom the outside. Just point and press. [DOCTOR] Now go. [DOCTOR] Oh, and when you're done, leave my screwdriver in her toppocket. Good luck. [RORY] What do you mean? Done what? --------------------------------------- (Pandorica chamber) [DOCTOR] How did you do that? [RORY] You gave me this. [DOCTOR] No, I didn't. [RORY] You did. Look at it. [DOCTOR] Temporal energy. Same screwdriver at different points in itsown time stream. Which means it was me who gave it to you. Me from thefuture. I've got a future. That's nice. That's not. [RORY] Yeah. What are they? [DOCTOR] History has collapsed. Whole races have been deleted fromexistence. These are just like after-images. Echoes. Fossils in time.The footprints of the never-were. [RORY] Er, what does that mean? [DOCTOR] Total event collapse. The universe literally never happened. [RORY] So, how can we be here? What's keeping us safe? [DOCTOR] Nothing. Eye of the storm, that's all. We're just the lastlight to go out. Amy. Where's Amy? --------------------------------------- (Stonehenge) [RORY] I killed her. [DOCTOR] Oh, Rory. [RORY] Doctor, what am I? [DOCTOR] You're a Nestene duplicate. A lump of plastic with delusions ofhumanity. [RORY] But I'm Rory now. Whatever was happening, it's stopped. I'm Rory. [DOCTOR] That's software talking. [RORY] Can you help her? Is there anything you can do? [DOCTOR] Yeah, probably, if I had the time. [RORY] The time? [DOCTOR] All of creation has just been wiped from the sky. Do you knowhow many lives now never happened? All the people who never lived? Yourgirlfriend isn't more important than the whole universe. [RORY] She is to me! [DOCTOR] Welcome back, Rory Williams! Sorry. Had to be sure. Hell of agun-arm you're packing there. Right, we need to get her downstairs. Andtake that look off your plastic face. You're getting married in themorning. --------------------------------------- (Pandorica chamber) [RORY] So you've got a plan, then? [DOCTOR] Bit of a plan, yeah. Memories are more powerful than you think,and Amy Pond is not an ordinary girl. Grew up with a time crack in herwall. The universe pouring through her dreams every night. The Nestenestook a memory print of her and got a bit more than they bargained for,like you. Not just your face, but your heart and your soul. [DOCTOR] I'm leaving her a message for when she wakes up, so she knowswhat's happening. [RORY] Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. What are you doing? [DOCTOR] I'm saving her. This box is the ultimate prison. You can't evenescape by dying. It forces you to stay alive. [RORY] But she's already dead. [DOCTOR] Well, she's mostly dead. The Pandorica can stasis-lock her thatway. Now, all it needs is a scan of her living DNA and it'll restoreher. [RORY] Where's it going to get that? [DOCTOR] In about two thousand years. --------------------------------------- (Anomaly Exhibition) [AMELIA] Are you all right? Who are you? [AMY] I'm fine. I'm supposed to rest. Got to rest, the Doctor says. [AMELIA] What doctor? [DOCTOR] He's in here. Left a message in my head like I'm ananswerphone. Where am I? Hang on. National Museum, right? I was hereonce when I was a little [AMY] Yeah, complicated. Let's see, it's what, 1996? [AMELIA] Who are you? [AMY] It's a long story. Oh. A very long story. --------------------------------------- (Pandorica chamber) [RORY] She's going to be in that box for two thousand years? [DOCTOR] Yeah, but we're taking a shortcut. River's vortex manipulator.Rubbish way to time travel, but the universe is tiny now. We'll befine. [RORY] So hang on. The future's still there, then. Our world. [DOCTOR] A version of it. Not quite the one you know. Earth alone in thesky. Let's go and have a look. You put your hand there. Don't worry.Should be safe. [RORY] That's not what I'm worried about. [DOCTOR] She'll be fine. Nothing can get into this box. [RORY] Well, you got in there. [DOCTOR] Well, there's only one of me. I counted. [RORY] This box needs a guard. I killed the last one. [DOCTOR] No. Rory, no. Don't even think about it. [RORY] She'll be all alone. [DOCTOR] She won't feel it. [RORY] You bet she won't. [DOCTOR] Two thousand years, Rory. You won't even sleep. you'd beconscious every second. It would drive you mad. [RORY] Will she be safer if I stay? Look me in the eye and tell me shewouldn't be safer. [DOCTOR] Rory, you [RORY] Answer me! [DOCTOR] Yes. Obviously. [RORY] Then how could I leave her? [DOCTOR] Why do you have to be so human? [RORY] Because right now, I'm not. [DOCTOR] Listen to me. This is the last bit of advice you're going toget in a very long time. You're living plastic, but you're notimmortal. I have no idea how long you'll last. And you're notindestructible. Stay away from heat and radio signals when they comealong. You can't heal, or repair yourself. Any damage is permanent. So,for God's sake, however bored you get, stay out of [NARRATOR [OC]] According to legend, wherever the Pandorica was taken,throughout its long history, the Centurion would be there, guarding it. --------------------------------------- (Anomaly Exhibition) [NARRATOR [OC]] He appears as an iconic image in the artwork of manycultures, and there are several documented accounts of his appearances,and his warnings to the many who attempted to open the box before itstime. His last recorded appearance was during the London blitz in 1941.The warehouse where the Pandorica was stored was destroyed byincendiary bombs, but the box itself was found the next morning, a safedistance from the blaze. There are eyewitness accounts from the nightof the fire of a figure in Roman dress, carrying the box from theflames. Since then, there have been no sightings of the Lone Centurion,and many have speculated that if he ever existed, he perished in thefires of that night, performing one last act of devotion to the box hehad pledged to protect for nearly two thousand years. [AMY] Rory. Oh, Rory. [DALEK] Exterminate! [AMELIA] What's that? [DALEK] Exterminate! [DOCTOR] Trouble. Oh. Ah, two of you. Complicated. [DALEK] Exterminate! Weapons systems restoring. [DOCTOR] Come along, Ponds. [DALEK] Exterminate! [AMY] What are we doing? [DOCTOR] Well, we are running into a dead end, where I'll have abrilliant plan, that basically involves not being in one. [MAN] What's going on? [DOCTOR] Get out of here. Go! Just run! [DALEK] Drop the device! [DOCTOR] It's not a weapon. Scan it. It's not a weapon, and you don'thave the power to waste. [DALEK] Scans indicate intruder unarmed. [RORY] Do you think? [DALEK] Vision impaired! Vision [RORY] Amy! [AMY] Rory. [RORY] I'm sorry. I'm sorry, I couldn't help it. It just happened. [AMY] Oh, Shut up. [DOCTOR] Yeah, shut up, because we've got to go. Come on. [RORY] I waited. Two thousand years I waited for you. [AMY] No, still shut up. [DOCTOR] And break. And breathe. Well, somebody didn't get out much fortwo thousand years. [AMELIA] I'm thirsty. Can I get a drink? [DOCTOR] Oh, it's all mouths today, isn't it. The light. The light fromthe Pandorica, it must have hit the Dalek. [DOCTOR] Out! Out! Out! --------------------------------------- (Museum Reception) [DOCTOR] So, two thousand years. How did you do? [RORY] Kept out of trouble. [DOCTOR] Oh. How? [RORY] Unsuccessfully. The mop! That's how you looked all those yearsago when you gave me the sonic. [DOCTOR] Ah. Well, no time to lose, then. --------------------------------------- (Stonehenge) [DOCTOR] Rory! Listen, she's not dead. Well, she isdead, but it's not the end of the world. --------------------------------------- (Museum Reception) [DOCTOR] Oops, sorry. [AMELIA] How can he do that? Is he magic? --------------------------------------- (Stonehenge) [DOCTOR] You need to get me out of the Pandorica. [RORY] But you're not in the Pandorica. [DOCTOR] Yes, I am. Well, I'm not now, but I was back then. --------------------------------------- (Museum Reception) [DOCTOR] Right, let's go then. Wait! Now I don'thave the sonic. I just gave it Rory two thousand years ago. --------------------------------------- (Stonehenge) [DOCTOR] And when you're done, leave my screwdriverin her top pocket. --------------------------------------- (Museum Reception) [DOCTOR] Right then. [DOCTOR] Off we go! No, hang on. How did you know to come here? [DOCTOR] Ah, my handwriting. Okay. [DOCTOR] There you go. Drink up. [AMY] What is that? How are you doing that? [DOCTOR] Vortex manipulator. Cheap and nasty time travel. Very bad foryou. I'm trying to give it up. [AMY] Where are we going? [DOCTOR] The roof. [RORY] Doctor, it's you. How can it be you? [AMY] Doctor, is that you? [DOCTOR] Yeah, it's me. Me from the future. [AMY] Are you? I mean, is he, is he dead? [DOCTOR] What? Dead? Yes, yes. Of course he's dead. Right, I've gottwelve minutes. That's good. [AMY] Twelve minutes to live? How is that good? [DOCTOR] Oh, you can do loads in twelve minutes. Suck a mint, buy asledge, have a fast bath. Come on, the roof. [RORY] We can't leave you here dead. [DOCTOR] Oh, good. Are you in charge now? So tell me, what are we goingto do about Amelia? [AMY] Where did she go? [RORY] Amelia? [DOCTOR] There is no Amelia. From now on, there never was. History isstill collapsing. [AMY] But how can I still be here if she's not? [DOCTOR] You're an anomaly. We all are. We're all just hanging on at theeye of the storm. But the eye is closing, and if we don't do somethingfast, reality will never have happened. Today, just dying is a result.Now, come on! [AMY] He won't die. Time can be rewritten. He'll find a way. I know hewill. [DOCTOR [OC]] Move it! Come on! [DALEK] Restore. Restore! --------------------------------------- (Roof) [DOCTOR] History is shrinking. Is anybody listening to me? The universeis collapsing. We don't have much time left. [RORY] What are you doing? [DOCTOR] Looking for the Tardis. [RORY] But the Tardis exploded. [DOCTOR] Okay then, I'm looking for an exploding Tardis. [AMY] I don't understand. So, the Tardis blew up and took the universewith it. But why would it do that? How? [DOCTOR] Good question for another day. The question for now is, totalevent collapse means that every star in the universe never happened.Not one single one of them ever shone. So, if all the stars that everwere are gone, then what is that? [DOCTOR] Like I said, I'm looking for an exploding Tardis. [RORY] But that's the sun. [DOCTOR] Is it? Well, here's the noise that sun is making right now. [DOCTOR] That's my Tardis burning up. That's what's been keeping theEarth warm. [RORY] Doctor, there's something else. [RIVER [OC]] I'm sorry, my love. [RORY] There's a voice. [AMY] I can't hear anything. [RORY] Trust the plastic. [RIVER [OC]] I'm sorry, my love. I'm sorry, my love. I'm sorry, my love. [AMY] Doctor, that's River. How can she be up there? [RORY] It must be like a recording or something. [DOCTOR] No, it's not. Of course, the emergency protocols. The Tardishas sealed off the control room and put her into a time loop to saveher. She is right at the heart of the explosion. [RIVER [OC]] I'm sorry, my love. I'm sorry, my love. I'm sorry, my love. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [RIVER] I'm sorry, my love. [DOCTOR] Hi, honey. I'm home. [RIVER] And what sort of time do you call this? --------------------------------------- (Rooftop) [RIVER] Amy! And the plastic Centurion? [DOCTOR] It's okay, he's on our side. [RIVER] Really? [DOCTOR] Yeah. [RIVER] I dated a Nestene duplicate once. Swappable head. It did keepthings fresh. Right then, I have questions, but number one is this.What in the name of sanity have you got on your head? [DOCTOR] It's a fez. I wear a fez now. Fezes are cool. [DOCTOR] Oh! [DALEK] Exterminate! [DOCTOR] Run, run! Move, move. Go! [RORY] Come on! --------------------------------------- (Roof access) [RIVER] Doctor, come on. [DOCTOR] Shush. It's moving away, finding another way in. It needs torestore its power before it can attack again. Now, that means we've gotexactly four and a half minutes before it's at lethal capacity. [RORY] How do you know? [DOCTOR] Because that's when it's due to kill me. [RIVER] Kill you? What do you mean, kill you? [DOCTOR] Oh, shut up. Never mind. How can that Dalek even exist? It waserased from time and then it came back. --------------------------------------- (Upper corridor) [DOCTOR] How? [RORY] You said the light from the Pandorica [DOCTOR] It's not a light, it's a restoration field. But never mind,call it a light. That light brought Amy back, restored her, but howcould it bring back a Dalek when the Daleks have never existed? [AMY] Okay, tell us. [DOCTOR] When the Tardis blew up, it caused a total event collapse. Atime explosion. And that explosion blasted every atom in every momentof the universe. Except [AMY] Except inside the Pandorica. [DOCTOR] The perfect prison. And inside it, perfectly preserved, a fewbillion atoms of the universe as it was. In theory, you couldextrapolate the whole universe from a single one of them, like, likecloning a body from a single cell. And we've got the bumper familypack. [RORY] No, no. Too fast. I'm not getting it. [DOCTOR] The box contains a memory of the universe, and the lighttransmits the memory, and that's how we're going to do it. [AMY] Do what? [DOCTOR] Relight the fire. Reboot the universe. Come on! [RIVER] Doctor, you're being completely ridiculous. The Pandoricapartially restored one Dalek. If it can't even reboot a single lifeform properly, how's it reboot the whole of reality? [DOCTOR] What if we give it a moment of infinite power? What if we cantransmit the light from the Pandorica to every particle of space andtime simultaneously? [RIVER] Well, that would be lovely, dear, but we can't, because it'scompletely impossible. [DOCTOR] Ah no, you see, it's not. It's almost completely impossible.One spark is all we need. [RIVER] For what? [DOCTOR] Big Bang Two! Now listen. [DALEK] Exterminate! Exterminate! [RORY] Get back. River, get back now! [DALEK] Exterminate! [RIVER] Doctor? Doctor, it's me, River. Can you hear me? What is it?What do you need? [RIVER] Where did he go? Damn it, he could be anywhere. [AMY] He went downstairs, twelve minutes ago. [RIVER] Show me! [AMY] River, he died. [DALEK] Systems restoring. You will be exterminated. [RORY] We've got to move. That thing's coming back to life. [RIVER] You go to the Doctor. I'll be right with you. [DALEK] You will be exterminated! [RIVER] Not yet. Your systems are still restoring, which means yourshield density is compromised. One Alpha Mezon burst through youreyestalk would kill you stone dead. [DALEK] Records indicate you will show mercy. You are an associate ofthe Doctor's. [RIVER] I'm River Song. Check your records again. [DALEK] Mercy. [RIVER] Say it again. [DALEK] Mercy! [RIVER] One more time. [DALEK] Mercy! --------------------------------------- (Museum Reception) [RORY] How could he have moved? He was dead. Doctor? Doctor! [AMY] But he was dead. [RIVER] Who told you that? [AMY] He did. [RIVER] Rule one. The Doctor lies. [AMY] Where's the Dalek? [RIVER] It died. --------------------------------------- (Anomaly Exhibition) [AMY] Doctor! [RORY] Why did he tell us he was dead? [AMY] We were a diversion. As long as the Dalek was chasing us, he couldwork down here. [RIVER] Doctor, can you hear me? What were you doing? [RORY] What's happening? [RIVER] Reality's collapsing. It's speeding up. Look at this room. [AMY] Where'd everything go? [RIVER] History's being erased. Time's running out. Doctor, what wereyou doing? Tell us. Doctor! [DOCTOR] (sotto) Big Bang Two. [RORY] The Big Bang. That's the beginning of the universe, right? [AMY] What, and Big Bang Two is the bang that brings us back? Is thatwhat you mean? [RIVER] Oh. [AMY] What? [RIVER] The Tardis is still burning. It's exploding at every point inhistory. If you threw the Pandorica into the explosion, right into theheart of the fire. [AMY] Then what? [RIVER] Then let there be light. The light from the Pandorica wouldexplode everywhere at once, just like he said. [AMY] That would work? That would bring everything back? [RIVER] A restoration field powered by an exploding Tardis, happening atevery moment in history. Oh, that's brilliant. It might even work. He'swired the vortex manipulator to the rest of the box. [AMY] Why? [RIVER] So he can take it with him. He's going to fly the Pandorica intothe heart of the explosion. [RORY] Are you okay? [AMY] Are you? [RORY] No. [AMY] Well, shut up then! [RIVER] Amy, he wants to talk to you. [AMY] So, what happens here? Big Bang Two? What happens to us? [RIVER] We all wake up where we ought to be. None of this ever happensand we don't remember it. [AMY] River, tell me he comes back, too. [RIVER] The Doctor will be the heart of the explosion. [AMY] So? [RIVER] So all the cracks in time will close, but he'll be on the wrongside, trapped in the never-space, the void between the worlds. Allmemory of him will be purged from the universe. He will never have beenborn. Now, please. He wants to talk to you before he goes. [AMY] Not to you? [RIVER] He doesn't really know me yet. Now he never will. [AMY] Hi. [DOCTOR] Amy Pond. The girl who waited all night in your garden. Was itworth it? [AMY] Shut up. Of course it was. [DOCTOR] You asked me why I was taking you with me and I said, noreason. I was lying. [AMY] It's not important. [DOCTOR] Yeah, it's the most important thing left in the universe. It'swhy I'm doing this. Amy, your house was too big. That big, empty house,and just you. [AMY] And Aunt Sharon. [DOCTOR] Where were your mum and dad? Where was everybody who lived inthat big house? [AMY] I lost my Mum and Dad. [DOCTOR] How? What happened to them? Where did they go? [AMY] I, I don't [DOCTOR] It's okay, it's okay. Don't panic, it's not your fault. [AMY] I don't even remember. [DOCTOR] There was a crack in time in the wall of your bedroom, and it'sbeen eating away at your life for a long time now. Amy Pond, all alone.The girl who didn't make sense. How could I resist? [AMY] How could I just forget? [DOCTOR] Nothing is ever forgotten. Not really. But you have to try. [RIVER] Doctor! It's speeding up! [DOCTOR] There's going to be a very big bang. Big Bang Two. Try andremember your family and they'll be there. [AMY] How can I remember them if they never existed? [DOCTOR] Because you're special. That crack in your wall, all that time,the universe pouring into your head. You brought Rory back. You canbring them back, too. You just remember and they'll be there. [AMY] You won't. [DOCTOR] You'll have your family back. You won't need your imaginaryfriend any more. Ha! Amy Pond crying over me, eh? Guess what? [AMY] What? [DOCTOR] Gotcha. [RIVER] Back! Get back! [RIVER] It's from the Doctor. [AMY] What does it say? [RIVER] Geronimo. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] Oh! Okay. I escaped, then. Brilliant. I love it when I do that.Legs, yes. Bow tie, cool. I can buy a fez. [DOCTOR [OC]] Lyle beach. The beach is the best. Automatic sand. [AMY [OC]] Automatic sand? What does that mean? [DOCTOR [OC]] It's automated. Totally. [DOCTOR] Oh. [DOCTOR 2] Cleans up the lolly sticks all by itself. [DOCTOR] No, hang on. That's last week when we went to Space Florida.I'm rewinding. My, my time stream unravelling, erasing. Closing. [DOCTOR] Hello, universe. Goodbye, Doctor. Amy. Amy. --------------------------------------- (Aickman Street) [DOCTOR] Ah, three weeks ago, when she put the cardin the window. Amy! I need to tell you something. She can hear me. Butif she can hear me --------------------------------------- (Maze of the Dead) [DOCTOR 2] Good luck, everyone. Behave. Do not letthat girl open her eyes. Amy, later. River, going to need yourcomputer. [DOCTOR] Amy, you need to start trusting me. It's never been moreimportant. [AMY] But you don't always tell me the truth. [DOCTOR] If I always told you the truth, I wouldn't need you to trustme. [AMY] Doctor, the crack in my wall. How can it be here? [DOCTOR] I don't know yet but I'm working it out. Now, listen. Rememberwhat I told you when you were seven? [AMY] What did you tell me? [DOCTOR] No. No, that's not the point. You have to remember. [AMY] Remember what? Doctor? Doctor? --------------------------------------- (Amy's home) [DOCTOR] Amelia's house. When she was seven. The night she waited. --------------------------------------- (Outside Amy's home) [DOCTOR] The girl who waited. Come here, you. --------------------------------------- (Amy's bedroom) [DOCTOR] It's funny. I thought if you could hear me, I could hang onsomehow. Silly me. Silly old Doctor. When you wake up, you'll have amum and dad, and you won't even remember me. Well, you'll remember me alittle. I'll be a story in your head. But that's okay. We're allstories in the end. Just make it a good one, eh? Because it was, youknow. It was the best. The daft old man who stole a magic box and ranaway. Did I ever tell you that I stole it? Well, I borrowed it. I wasalways going to take it back. Oh, that box. Amy, you'll dream aboutthat box. It'll never leave you. Big and little at the same time. Brandnew and ancient, and the bluest blue ever. And the times we had, eh?Would have had. Never had. In your dreams, they'll still be there. TheDoctor and Amy Pond, and the days that never came. The cracks areclosing. But they can't close properly until I'm on the other side. Idon't belong here any more. I think I'll skip the rest of the rewind. Ihate repeats. Live well. Love Rory. Bye bye, Pond. [TABETHA] Morning! [AMY] You're my mum. Oh, my God. You're my mum. [TABETHA] Well, of course I'm your mum. What's the matter with you? Andthis is your breakfast, which your father made, so feel free to tip itout of the window if it's an atrocity. Downstairs, ten minutes? Bigday! [AMY] Of course she's my mum. Why is that surprising? --------------------------------------- (Living room) [AUGUSTUS] Ah, Amelia. I fear I may have been usingthe same joke book as the best man. [AMY] You're my tiny little dad! [TABETHA] Amelia, why are you behaving as if you've never seen usbefore? [AMY] I don't know. It's just. --------------------------------------- (Rory's home) [RORY] Hello! [AMY [OC]] Do you feel like you've forgotten something really important? --------------------------------------- (Amy's bedroom) [AMY] Do you feel like there's a great big thing inyour head, and you feel like you should remember it, but you can't? --------------------------------------- (Rory's home) [RORY] Yep. --------------------------------------- (Amy's bedroom) [AMY] Are you just saying yes because you're scaredof me? [RORY [OC]] Yep. [AMY] I love you. [RORY [OC]] Yep. --------------------------------------- (Rory's home) [RORY] Er, I mean, I love you too! --------------------------------------- (Wedding reception) [MASTER OF CEREMONIES] Ladies and gentlemen, ladiesand gentlemen, the father of the bride, Augustus Pond! [AUGUSTUS] Sorry, everyone. I'll be another two minutes. I'm justreviewing certain aspects. [TABETHA] Your father, Amelia, will be the absolute death of me. Unless,of course, I strike pre-emptively. [RORY] Amy? You okay? [AMY] Yeah, I'm fine. [RORY] Right. Er, you're crying. [AMY] So I am. Why am I doing that? [RORY] Because you're happy, probably. Happy Mrs Rory. Happy, happy,happy. [AMY] No, I'm sad. I'm really, really sad. [RORY] Great. [AMY] Why am I sad? What's that? [RORY] Oh, er, someone left it for you. A woman. [AMY] But what is it? [RORY] It's a book. [AMY] It's blank. [RORY] It's a present. [AMY] But why? [RORY] Well, you know the old saying. The old wedding thing. Huh? Amy,what? Hey. [AUGUSTUS] Ready now. Sorry about that. Last minute adjustments tocertain aspects. Now then, it hardly seems a year since [AUGUSTUS] At the age of six and announced that the new head teacherwasn't real because she looked like a cartoon. [AMY] Shut up, Dad! [RORY] Amy? [AUGUSTUS] Amelia? [AMY] Sorry, but shut up, please. There's someone missing. Someoneimportant. Someone so, so important. [RORY] Amy, what's wrong? [AMY] Sorry. Sorry, everyone. But when I was a kid, I had an imaginaryfriend. [TABETHA] Oh no, not this again. [AMY] The raggedy Doctor. My raggedy Doctor. But he wasn't imaginary, hewas real. [TABETHA] The psychiatrists we sent her to. [AMY] I remember you. I remember! I brought the others back, I can bringyou home, too. Raggedy man, I remember you, and you are late for mywedding! [AMY] I found you. I found you in words, like you knew I would. That'swhy you told me the story the brand new, ancient blue box. [AMY] Oh, clever. Very clever. [RORY] Amy, what is it? [AMY] Something old. Something new. Something borrowed. Something blue. [RORY] It's the Doctor. How did we forget the Doctor? I was plastic. Hewas the stripper at my stag. Long story. [AMY] Okay, Doctor. Did I surprise you this time? [DOCTOR] Er, yeah. Completely astonished. Never expected that. How luckyI happened to be wearing this old thing. Hello, everyone. I'm Amy'simaginary friend. But I came anyway. [AMY] You absolutely, definitely may kiss the bride. [DOCTOR] Amelia, from now on I shall be leaving the kissing duties tothe brand new Mister Pond. [RORY] No, I'm not Mister Pond. That's not how it works. [DOCTOR] Yeah, it is. [RORY] Yeah, it is. [DOCTOR] Right then, everyone. I'll move my box. You're going to needthe space. I only came for the dancing. [AMY] You're terrible. That is embarrassing! [DOCTOR] That's it. That's good. Keep it loose. [DOCTOR] Two thousand years. The boy who waited. Good on you, mate. --------------------------------------- (Outside Amy's house) [RIVER] Did you dance? Well, you always dance at weddings, don't you? [DOCTOR] You tell me. [RIVER] Spoilers. [DOCTOR] The writing's all back, but I didn't peek. [RIVER] Thank you. [DOCTOR] Are you married, River? [RIVER] Are you asking? [DOCTOR] Yes. [RIVER] Yes. [DOCTOR] No, hang on. Did you think I was asking you to marry me, or oror asking if you were married? [RIVER] Yes. [DOCTOR] No, but was that yes, or yes? [RIVER] Yes. [DOCTOR] River, who are you? [RIVER] You're going to find out very soon now. And I'm sorry, butthat's when everything changes. [DOCTOR] Nah. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [AMY] Oi! Where are you off to? We haven't even hada snog in the shrubbery yet. [RORY] Amy! [AMY] Shut up. It's my wedding. [DOCTOR] Sorry, you two. Shouldn't have slipped away. Bit busy, youknow? [DOCTOR] Space and time isn't safe yet. The Tardis exploded for areason. Something drew the Tardis to this particular date, and blew itup. Why? And why now? [DOCTOR] The Silence, whatever it is, is still out there, and I have to.Excuse me a moment. [DOCTOR] Hello? Oh, hello. I'm sorry, this is a very bad line. No, no,no, but that's not possible. She was sealed into the seventh Obelisk. Iwas at the prayer meeting. Well, no, I get that it's important. AnEgyptian goddess loose on the Orient Express, in space. Give us a mo.(to Amy and Rory) Sorry, something's come up. This will have to begoodbye. [AMY] Yeah, I think it's goodbye. Do you think it's goodbye? [RORY] Definitely goodbye. [AMY] Goodbye! Goodbye.

[DOCTOR] Isn't that amazing? [AMY [OC]] Doctor! [DOCTOR] Well, come on. I've found us a spaceship. This is the UnitedKingdom of Britain and Northern Ireland. All of it, bolted together andfloating in the sky.Starship UK. It's Britain, but metal. That's not just a ship, that's anidea. That's a whole country, living and laughing and shopping.Searching the stars for a new home. [AMY] Can we go out and see? [DOCTOR] Course we can. But first, there's a thing. [AMY] A thing? [DOCTOR] An important thing. In fact, Thing One. We are observers only.That's the one rule I've always stuck to in all my travels. I never getinvolved in the affairs of other peoples or planets. [DOCTOR] Ooo, that's interesting. [AMY] So we're like a wildlife documentary, yeah? Because if they see awounded little cub or something, they can't just save it, they've gotto keep filming and let it die. It's got to be hard. I don't think Icould do that. Don't you find that hard, being all, like, detached andcold? [AMY] Doctor? --------------------------------------- (London Market) [TANNOY] Welcome to London Market. You are beingmonitored. [AMY] I'm in the future. Like hundreds of years in the future. I've beendead for centuries. [DOCTOR] Oh, lovely. You're a cheery one. Never mind dead, look at thisplace. Isn't it wrong? [AMY] What's wrong? [DOCTOR] Come on, use your eyes. Notice everything. What's wrong withthis picture? [AMY] Is it the bicycles? Bit unusual on a spaceship, bicycles. [DOCTOR] Says the girl in the nightie. [AMY] Oh my God, I'm in my nightie. [DOCTOR] Now, come on, look around you. Actually look. [TANNOY] London Market is a crime-free zone. [DOCTOR] Life on a giant starship. Back to basics. Bicycles, washinglines, wind-up street lamps. But look closer. Secrets and shadows,lives led in fear. Society bent out of shape, on the brink of collapse.A police state. Excuse me. [MAN] What are you doing? [DOCTOR] Sorry. Checking all the water in this area. There's an escapedfish. Where was I? [AMY] Why did you just do that with the water? [DOCTOR] Don't know. I think a lot. It's hard to keep track. Now, policestate. Do you see it yet? [AMY] Where? [DOCTOR] There. --------------------------------------- (Tower) [HAWTHORNE] Are you sure? --------------------------------------- (London Market) [PETER] Saw it myself. --------------------------------------- (Tower) [PETER [OC]] Are you going to tell her? [HAWTHORNE] We're under orders to tell her. --------------------------------------- (London Market) [HAWTHORNE [OC]] Well done. Keep tabs on him. --------------------------------------- (State apartments) [HAWTHORNE [OC]] Sorry to interrupt. There's been a sighting. Londonblock, Oxford Street. A man. [LIZ] Did he do the thing? [HAWTHORNE [OC]] Apparently. [LIZ] I'll have a look on the monitors. --------------------------------------- (London Market) [AMY] One little girl crying. So? [DOCTOR] Crying silently. I mean, children cry because they wantattention, because they're hurt or afraid. But when they cry silently,it's because they just can't stop. Any parent knows that. [AMY] Are you a parent? [DOCTOR] Hundreds of parents walking past who spot her and not one ofthem's asking her what's wrong, which means they already know, and it'ssomething they don't talk about. Secrets. They're not helping her, soit's something they're afraid of. Shadows, whatever they're afraid of,it's nowhere to be seen, which means it's everywhere. Police state. [AMY] Where'd she go? [DOCTOR] Deck two oh seven. Apple Sesame block, dwelling 54A. You'relooking for Mandy Tanner. Oh, er, this fell out of her pocket when Iaccidentally bumped into her. Took me four goes. Ask her about thosethings. The smiling fellows in the booths. They're everywhere. [AMY] But they're just things. [DOCTOR] They're clean. Everything else here is all battered and filthy.Look at this place. But no one's laid a finger on those booths. Not afootprint within two feet of them. Look. Ask Mandy, why are peoplescared of the things in the booths? [AMY] No, hang on. What do I do? I don't know what I'm doing here andI'm not even dressed. [DOCTOR] It's this or Leadworth. What do you think? Let's see. What willAmy Pond choose? Ha ha, gotcha. Meet me back here in half an hour. [AMY] What are you going to do? [DOCTOR] What I always do. Stay out of trouble. Badly. [AMY] So is this how it works, Doctor? You never interfere in theaffairs of other peoples or planets, unless there's children crying? [DOCTOR] Yes. --------------------------------------- (Deck 207) [MANDY] You're following me. Saw you watching me at the marketplace. [AMY] You dropped this. [MANDY] Yeah, when your friend kept bumping into me. [AMY] What's that? [MANDY] There's a hole. We have to go back. [AMY] A what? A hole? [MANDY] Are you stupid? There's a hole in the road. We can't go thatway. There's a travel pipe down by the airlocks, if you've got stamps.What are you doing? [AMY] Oh, don't mind me. Never could resist a keep out sign. What'sthrough there? What's so scary about a hole? Something under the road? [MANDY] Nobody knows. We're not supposed to talk about it. [AMY] About what? [MANDY] Below. [AMY] And because you're not supposed to, you don't? Watch and learn. [MANDY] You sound Scottish. [AMY] I am Scottish. What's wrong with that? Scotland's got to be heresomewhere. [MANDY] No. They wanted their own ship. [AMY] Hmm. Good for them. Nothing changes. [MANDY] So, how did you get here? [AMY] Oh, just passing through, you know, with a guy. [MANDY] Your boyfriend? [AMY] Oh. [MANDY] What? [AMY] Nothing. It's just, I'm getting married. Funny how things slipyour mind. [MANDY] Married? [AMY] Yeah, shut up, married. Really, actually married. Almostdefinitely. [MANDY] When? [AMY] Well, it's kind of weird. A long time ago tomorrow morning. Iwonder what I did? Hey, hey. Result! Coming? [MANDY] No! [AMY] Suit yourself. [MANDY] Stop! You mustn't do that! [AMY] Oh, my God. That's weird. That's. --------------------------------------- (Engine room) [LIZ] The impossible truth in a glass of water. Not many people see it.But you do, don't you, Doctor? [DOCTOR] You know me? [LIZ] Keep your voice down. They're everywhere. Tell me what you see inthe glass. [DOCTOR] Who says I see anything? [DOCTOR] No engine vibration on deck. Ship this size, engine this big,you'd feel it. The water would move. So, I thought I'd take a look. Itdoesn't make sense. These power couplings, they're not connected. Look.Look, they're dummies, see? And behind this wall, nothing. It's hollow.If I didn't know better, I'd say there was [BOTH] No engine at all. [DOCTOR] But it's working. This ship is travelling though space. I sawit. [LIZ] The impossible truth, Doctor. We're travelling among the stars ina spaceship that could never fly. [DOCTOR] How? [LIZ] I don't know. There's a darkness at the heart of this nation. Itthreatens every one of us. Help us, Doctor. You're our only hope. Yourfriend is safe. This will take you to her. Now go, quickly! [DOCTOR] Who are you? How do I find you again? [LIZ] I am Liz Ten, and I will find you. --------------------------------------- (Voting cubicle) [COMPUTER] Welcome to voting cubicle three thirty C.

[AMY [on screen]] Listen to me. This isn't a trick. This is for real. [DOCTOR] Amy? [AMY [on screen]] You've got to find the Doctor. [DOCTOR] What have you done? [DOCTOR] Yeah, your basic memory wipe job. Must have erased about twentyminutes. [AMY] But why would I choose to forget? [MANDY] Because everyone does. Everyone chooses the Forget button. [DOCTOR] Did you? [DOCTOR] And once every five years, everyone chooses to forget whatthey've learned. Democracy in action. [MANDY] How do you not know about this? Are you Scottish too? [DOCTOR] Oh, I'm way worse than Scottish. I can't even see the movie.Won't play for me. [AMY] It played for me. [DOCTOR] The difference being the computer doesn't accept me as human. [AMY] Why not? You look human. [DOCTOR] No, you look Time Lord. We came first. [AMY] So there are other Time Lords, yeah? [DOCTOR] No. There were, but there aren't. Just me now. Long story.There was a bad day. Bad stuff happened. And you know what? I'd love toforget it all, every last bit of it, but I don't. Not ever. Becausethis is what I do, every time, every day, every second. This. Holdtight. We're bringing down the government. [DOCTOR] Say wheee! [AMY] Argh! --------------------------------------- (Outside Voting Cubicle 330C) [LIZ] It's all right, love. [LIZ] It's only me. --------------------------------------- (Waste disposal) [DOCTOR] Argh! High speed air cannon. Lousy way to travel. [AMY] Where are we? [DOCTOR] Six hundred feet down, twenty miles laterally, puts us at theheart of the ship. I'd say Lancashire. What's this then, a cave? Can'tbe a cave. Looks like a cave. [AMY] It's a rubbish dump, and it's minging! [DOCTOR] Yes, but only food refuse. Organic, coming through feeder tubesfrom all over the ship. [AMY] The floor's all squidgy, like a water bed. [DOCTOR] But feeding what, though? [AMY] It's sort of rubbery, feel it. Wet and slimy. [DOCTOR] Er, it's not a floor, it's a. So. [AMY] It's a what? [DOCTOR] The next word is kind of a scary word. You probably want totake a moment, get yourself in a calm place. Go omm. [AMY] Omm. [DOCTOR] It's a tongue. [AMY] A tongue? [DOCTOR] A tongue. A great big tongue. [AMY] This is a mouth. This whole place is a mouth? We're in a mouth? [DOCTOR] Yes, yes, yes. But on the plus side, roomy. [AMY] How do we get out? [DOCTOR] How big is this beastie? It's gorgeous. Blimey, if this is justthe mouth, I'd love to see the stomach. Though not right now. [AMY] Doctor, how do we get out? [DOCTOR] Okay, it's being fed through surgically implanted feeder tubes,so the normal entrance is closed for business. [AMY] We could try, though. [DOCTOR] No, stop, don't move. [DOCTOR] Too late. It's started. [AMY] What has? [DOCTOR] Swallow reflex. [AMY] What are you doing? [DOCTOR] I'm vibrating the chemo-receptors. [AMY] Chemo-what? [DOCTOR] The eject button. [AMY] How does a mouth have an eject button? [DOCTOR] Think about it! [DOCTOR] Right, then. This isn't going to be big on dignity. Geronimo! --------------------------------------- (Overflow pipe) [DOCTOR] There's nothing broken, there's no sign ofconcussion and yes, you are covered in sick. [AMY] Where are we? [DOCTOR] Overspill pipe, at a guess. [AMY] Oh, God, it stinks. [DOCTOR] Oh, that's not the pipe. [AMY] Oh. Phew. Can we get out? [DOCTOR] One door, one door switch, one condition. We forget everythingwe saw. Look familiar? [DOCTOR] That's the carrot. Ooo, here's the stick. [DOCTOR] There's a creature living in the heart of this ship. What's itdoing there? [DOCTOR] No, that's not going to work on me, so come on. Big old beastbelow decks, and everyone who protests gets shoved down its throat.That how it works? [AMY] Doctor? [DOCTOR] Look who it is. You look a lot better without your mask. [LIZ] You must be Amy. Liz. Liz Ten. [AMY] Hi. [LIZ] Yuck. Lovely hair, Amy. Shame about the sick. You know Mandy,yeah? She's very brave. [DOCTOR] How did you find us? [LIZ] Stuck my gizmo on you. Been listening in. Nice moves on the hurlescape. So, what's the big fella doing here? [DOCTOR] You're over sixteen, you've voted. Whatever this is, you'vechosen to forget about it. [LIZ] No. Never forgot, never voted, not technically a British subject. [DOCTOR] Then who and what are you, and how do you know me? [LIZ] You're a bit hard to miss, love. Mysterious stranger, M Oconsistent with higher alien intelligence, hair of an idiot. I've beenbrought up on the stories. My whole family was. [DOCTOR] Your family? [LIZ] They're repairing. Doesn't take them long. Let's move. --------------------------------------- (Sub basement 4) [LIZ] The Doctor. Old drinking buddy of HenryTwelve. Tea and scones with Liz Two. Vicky was a bit on the fence aboutyou, weren't she? Knighted and exiled you on the same day. And so muchfor the Virgin Queen, you bad, bad boy. [DOCTOR] Liz Ten. [LIZ] Liz Ten, yeah. Elizabeth the Tenth. And down! [LIZ] I'm the bloody Queen, mate. Basically, I rule. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [LIZ] There's a high-speed Vator through there. Oh,yeah. There's these things. [LIZ] Any ideas? [AMY] Doctor, I saw one of these up top. There was a hole in the road,like it had burst through like a root. [DOCTOR] Exactly like a root. It's all one creature, the same one wewere inside, reaching out. It must be growing through the mechanisms ofthe entire ship. [LIZ] What, like an infestation? Someone's helping it. Feeding it.Feeding my subjects to it. Come on. Got to keep moving. [AMY] Doctor? [DOCTOR] Oh, Amy. We should never have come here. [AMY [OC]] Don't let him investigate. Stop him. Do whatever you have to,just please, please get the Doctor off this ship. --------------------------------------- (Security office) [HAWTHORNE] Winder division one. Ten has penetratedto the lower levels. Initiate the protocol. God save the Queen. --------------------------------------- (State apartments) [DOCTOR] Why all the glasses? [LIZ] To remind me every single day that my government is up tosomething, and it's my duty to find out what. [DOCTOR] A queen going undercover to investigate her own kingdom? [LIZ] Secrets are being kept from me. I don't have a choice. Ten yearsI've been at this. My entire reign. And you've achieved more in oneafternoon. [DOCTOR] How old were you when you came to the throne? [LIZ] Forty. Why? [AMY] What, you're fifty now? No way. [LIZ] Yeah, they slowed my body clock. Keeps me looking like the stamps. [DOCTOR] And you always wear this in public? [LIZ] Undercover's not easy when you're me. The autographs, the bunting. [DOCTOR] Air-balanced porcelain. Stays on by itself, because it'sperfectly sculpted to your face. [LIZ] Yeah? So what? [DOCTOR] Oh, Liz. So everything. [LIZ] What are you doing? How dare you come in here? [PETER] Ma'am, you have expressed interest in the interior workings ofStarship UK. You will come with us now. [LIZ] Why would I do that? [AMY] How can they be Smilers? [DOCTOR] Half Smiler, half human. [LIZ] Whatever you creatures are, I am still your queen. On whoseauthority is this done? [PETER] The highest authority, Ma'am. [LIZ] I am the highest authority. [PETER] Yes, ma'am. You must go now, Ma'am. [LIZ] Where? [PETER] The Tower, Ma'am. --------------------------------------- (Tower) [AMY] Doctor, where are we? [DOCTOR] The lowest point of Starship UK. The dungeon. [HAWTHORNE] Ma'am. [LIZ] Hawthorne. So this is where you hid yourself away. I think you'vegot some explaining to do. [DOCTOR] There's children down here. What's all that about? [HAWTHORNE] Protesters and citizens of limited value are fed to thebeast. For some reason, it won't eat the children. You're the firstadults it's spared. You're very lucky. [DOCTOR] Yeah, look at us. Torture chamber of the Tower of London.Lucky, lucky, lucky. Except it's not a torture chamber, is it? Well,except it is. Except it isn't. Depends on your angle. [LIZ] What's that? [DOCTOR] Well, like I say, it depends on the angle. It's either theexposed pain centre of big fella's brain, being tortured relentlessly. [LIZ] Or? [DOCTOR] Or it's the gas pedal, the accelerator. Starship UK's go fasterbutton. [LIZ] I don't understand. [DOCTOR] Don't you? Try to. Go on. The spaceship that could never fly.No vibration on deck. This creature, this poor, trapped, terrifiedcreature. It's not infesting you, it's not invading, it's what you haveinstead of an engine. And this place down here is where you hurt it,where you torture it, day after day, just to keep it moving. Tell youwhat. Normally, it's above the range of human hearing. This is thesound none of you wanted to hear. [LIZ] Stop it. Who did this? [HAWTHORNE] We act on instructions from the highest authority. [LIZ] I am the highest authority. The creature will be released, now. Isaid now! Is anyone listening to me? [DOCTOR] Liz. Your mask. [LIZ] What about my mask? [DOCTOR] Look at it. It's old. At least two hundred years old, I'd say. [LIZ] Yeah? It's an antique. So? [DOCTOR] Yeah, an antique made by craftsmen over two hundred years agoand perfectly sculpted to your face. They slowed your body clock, allright, but you're not fifty. Nearer three hundred. And it's been a longold reign. [LIZ] Nah, it's ten years. I've been on this throne ten years. [DOCTOR] Ten years. And the same ten years, over and over again, alwaysleading you here. [LIZ] What have you done? [HAWTHORNE] Only what you have ordered. We work for you, Ma'am. TheWinders, the Smilers, all of us. [LIZ [on screen]] If you are watching this. If I am watching this, thenI have found my way to the Tower Of London. The creature you arelooking at is called a Star Whale. Once, there were millions of them.They lived in the depths of space and, according to legend, guided theearly space travellers through the asteroid belts. This one, as far aswe are aware, is the last of its kind. And what we have done to itbreaks my heart. The Earth was burning. Our sun had turned on us andevery other nation had fled to the skies. Our children screamed as theskies grew hotter. And then it came, like a miracle. The last of theStar Whales. We trapped it, we built our ship around it, and we rode onits back to safety. If you wish our voyage to continue, then you mustpress the Forget button. Be again the heart of this nation, untainted.If not, press the other button. Your reign will end, the Star Whalewill be released, and our ship will disintegrate. I hope I keep thestrength to make the right decision. [AMY] I voted for this. Why would I do that? [DOCTOR] Because you knew if we stayed here, I'd be faced with animpossible choice. Humanity or the alien. You took it upon yourself tosave me from that. And that was wrong. You don't ever decide what Ineed to know. [AMY] I don't even remember doing it. [DOCTOR] You did it. That's what counts. [AMY] I'm, I'm sorry. [DOCTOR] Oh, I don't care. When I'm done here, you're going home. [AMY] Why? Because I made a mistake? One mistake? I don't even rememberdoing it. Doctor! [DOCTOR] Yeah, I know. You're only human. [LIZ] What are you doing? [DOCTOR] The worst thing I'll ever do. I'm going to pass a massiveelectrical charge through the Star Whale's brain. Should knock out allits higher functions, leave it a vegetable. The ship will still fly,but the whale won't feel it. [AMY] That'll be like killing it. [DOCTOR] Look, three options. One, I let the Star Whale continue inunendurable agony for hundreds more years. Two, I kill everyone on thisship. Three, I murder a beautiful, innocent creature as painlessly as Ican. And then I find a new name, because I won't be the Doctor anymore. [LIZ] There must be something we can do, some other way. [DOCTOR] Nobody talk to me. Nobody human has anything to say to metoday! [MANDY] Timmy! You made it, you're okay. It's me, Mandy. [DOCTOR [OC]] Come on, use your eyes. Notice everything. Noticeeverything. [LIZ [on screen]] Our children screamed. It came, like a miracle. [HAWTHORNE [memory]] It won't eat the children. [LIZ [on screen]] The children screamed, then it came. It's the last ofits kind. [DOCTOR [OC]] Just me now. [LIZ [OC]] The last of its kind. [AMY [OC]] Is this how it works, Doctor? You never interfere with otherpeoples or planets. [LIZ [OC]] Children screamed. [AMY [OC]] Unless it's children crying. [LIZ [on screen]] The last of its kind. [DOCTOR [memory]] Just me now. [AMY [OC]] Unless there's children crying. [DOCTOR [memory]] Yes. [HAWTHORNE [OC]] It won't eat the children. [LIZ [OC]] Then it came, like a miracle. The last of the Star Whales. [AMY] Doctor, stop. Whatever you're doing, stop it now! Sorry, YourMajesty. Going to need a hand. [DOCTOR] Amy, no! No! [DOCTOR] Amy, what have you done? [AMY] Nothing at all. Am I right? [HAWTHORNE] We've increased speed. [AMY] Yeah, well, you've stopped torturing the pilot. Got to help. [LIZ] It's still here. I don't understand. [AMY] The Star Whale didn't come like a miracle all those years ago. Itvolunteered. You didn't have to trap it or torture it. That was alljust you. It came because it couldn't stand to watch your children cry.What if you were really old, and really kind and alone? Your whole racedead. No future. What couldn't you do then? If you were that old, andthat kind, and the very last of your kind, you couldn't just standthere and watch children cry. --------------------------------------- (Observation deck) [AMY] From Her Majesty. She says there will be nomore secrets on Starship UK. [DOCTOR] Amy, you could have killed everyone on this ship. [AMY] You could have killed a Star Whale. [DOCTOR] And you saved it. I know, I know. [AMY] Amazing though, don't you think? The Star Whale. All that pain andmisery and loneliness, and it just made it kind. [DOCTOR] But you couldn't have known how it would react. [AMY] You couldn't. But I've seen it before. Very old and very kind, andthe very, very last. Sound a bit familiar? [AMY] Hey. [DOCTOR] What? [AMY] Gotcha. [DOCTOR] Huh. Gotcha. --------------------------------------- (London market) [AMY] Shouldn't we say goodbye? Won't they wonderwhere we went? [DOCTOR] For the rest of their lives. Oh, the songs they'll write. Nevermind them. Big day tomorrow. [AMY] Sorry, what? [DOCTOR] Well, it's always a big day tomorrow. We've got a time machine.I skip the little ones. [AMY] You know what I said about getting back for tomorrow morning? Haveyou ever run away from something because you were scared, or not ready,or just, just because you could? [DOCTOR] Once, a long time ago. [AMY] What happened? [DOCTOR] Hello. [AMY] Right. Doctor, there's something I haven't told you. No, hang on.Is that a phone ringing? --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [AMY] People phone you? [DOCTOR] Well, it's a phone box. Would you mind? [AMY] Hello? Sorry, who? No, seriously, who? Says he's the PrimeMinister. First the Queen, now the Prime Minister. Get about, don'tyou? [DOCTOR] Which Prime Minister? [AMY] Er, which Prime Minister? The British one. [DOCTOR] Which British one? [AMY] Which British one? Winston Churchill for you. [DOCTOR] Oh! Hello, dear. What's up? --------------------------------------- (War rooms) [CHURCHILL] Tricky situation, Doctor. Potentiallyvery dangerous. I think I'm going to need you. [DOCTOR [OC]] Don't worry about a thing, Prime Minister. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] We're on our way. [LIZ [OC]] In bed above, we're deep asleep, while greater love liesfurther deep. This dream must end, this world must know, we all dependon the beast below.

They will win me the war. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [DOCTOR] Why won't you listen to me? Why did youcall me in if you won't listen to me? [CHURCHILL] When I rang you a month ago, I must admit I had my doubts.The Ironsides seemed too good to be true. [DOCTOR] Yes. Right. So destroy them. Exterminate them. [CHURCHILL] But imagine what I could do with a hundred. A thousand. [DOCTOR] I am imagining. [DOCTOR] Amy, tell him. [AMY] Tell him what? [DOCTOR] About the Daleks. [AMY] What would I know about the Daleks? [DOCTOR] Everything. They invaded your world, remember? Planets in thesky. You don't forget that. Amy, tell me you remember the Daleks. [AMY] No, sorry. [DOCTOR] That's not possible. --------------------------------------- (Map room) [BLANCHE] Blue leader to Two squadron and six twothree five seven. Over. [MAN [OC]] Bandits at ten o'clock. [BLANCHE] Two three five seven. Over. [DOCTOR] So, they're up to something. But what is it? What are theyafter? [AMY] Well, let's just ask, shall we? [DOCTOR] Amy. Amelia! [DALEK] Can I be of assistance? [AMY] Oh. Yes, yes. See, my friend reckons you're dangerous. That you'rean alien. Is it true? [DALEK] I am your soldier. [AMY] Yeah. Got that bit. Love a squaddie. What else, though? [DALEK] Please excuse me. I have duties to perform. [DOCTOR] Winston. Winston, please. [CHURCHILL] We are waging total war, Doctor. Day after day the Luftwaffepound this great city like an iron fist. [DOCTOR] Wait till the Daleks get started. [CHURCHILL] Men, women and children slaughtered. Families torn apart.Wren's churches in flame. [DOCTOR] Yeah. Try the Earth in flames. [CHURCHILL] I weep for my country. I weep for my empire. It is breakingmy heart. [DOCTOR] You're resisting, Winston. The whole world knows you'reresisting. You're a beacon of hope. [CHURCHILL] But for how long? Millions of innocent lives will be savedif I use these Ironsides now. [DALEK] Can I be of assistance? [DOCTOR] Shut it. Listen to me. Just listen. The Daleks have noconscience, no mercy, no pity. They are my oldest and deadliest enemy.You cannot trust them. [CHURCHILL] If Hitler invaded hell, I would give a favourable referenceto the Devil. These machines are our salvation. [CHURCHILL] Oh, the All Clear. We are safe, for now. [AMY] Doctor, it's the All Clear. You okay? [DOCTOR] What does hate look like, Amy? [AMY] Hate? [DOCTOR] It looks like a Dalek. And I'm going to prove it. --------------------------------------- (Laboratory) [DALEK] Would you care for some tea? [BRACEWELL] That would be very nice, thank you. [DOCTOR] All right, Prof. Now, the PM's been filling me in. Amazingthings, these Ironsides of yours. Amazing. You must be very proud ofthem. [BRACEWELL] Just doing my bit. [AMY] Not bad for a Paisley boy. [BRACEWELL] Yes, I thought I detected a familiar cadence, my dear. [DOCTOR] How did you do it? Come up with the idea? [BRACEWELL] How does the muse of invention come to anyone? [DOCTOR] But you get a lot of these clever notions, do you? [BRACEWELL] Well, ideas just seem to teem from my head. Wonderfulthings, like. Let me show you. Some musings on the potential ofhypersonic flight. Gravity bubbles that can sustain life outside of theterrestrial atmosphere. Came to me in the bath. [DOCTOR] And are these your ideas or theirs? [BRACEWELL] Oh no, no, no. These robots are entirely under my control,Doctor. They are. [BRACEWELL] Thank you. The perfect servant, and the perfect warrior. [DOCTOR] I don't know what you're up to, Professor, but whatever they'vepromised, you cannot trust them. Call them what you like, the Daleksare death. [CHURCHILL] Yes, Doctor. Death to our enemies. Death to the forces ofdarkness, and death to the Third Reich. [DOCTOR] Yes, Winston, and death to everyone else too. [DALEK] Would you care for some tea? [DOCTOR] Stop this! What are you doing here? What do you want? [DALEK] We seek only to help you. [DOCTOR] To do what? [DALEK] To win the war. [DOCTOR] Really? Which war? [DALEK] I do not understand. [DOCTOR] This war, against the Nazis, or your war? The war against therest of the Universe? The war against all life forms that are notDalek? [DALEK] I do not understand. I am your soldier. [DOCTOR] Oh, yeah? Okay. Okay, soldier, defend yourself. [CHURCHILL] Doctor, what the devil? [DALEK] You do not require tea? [BRACEWELL] Stop him! Prime Minister, please. [CHURCHILL] Doctor, what the devil? Please, these machines are precious. [DOCTOR] Come on. Fight back. You want to, don't you? You know you do. [BRACEWELL] I must protest. [DOCTOR] What are you waiting for? Look, you hate me. You want to killme. Well, go on. Kill me. Kill me! [AMY] Doctor, be careful. [DALEK] Please desist from striking me. I am your soldier. [DOCTOR] You are my enemy! And I am yours. You are everything I despise.The worst thing in all creation. I've defeated you time and time again.I've defeated you. I sent you back into the Void. I saved the whole ofreality from you. I am the Doctor. And you are the Daleks. [DALEK] Correct. Review testimony. [DOCTOR [OC]] I am the Doctor. And you are the Daleks. [DOCTOR] Testimony. What are you talking about, testimony? [DALEK 2] Transmitting testimony now. [DOCTOR] Transmit what, where? --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [GOLD] Receiving testimony now.

[BRACEWELL] Stop it, stop it, please. What are you doing? You are myIronsides. [DALEK] We are the Daleks. [BRACEWELL] But I created you. [DALEK] No. [DALEK] We created you. [DALEKS] Victory. Victory. Victory. [AMY] What just happened, Doctor? [DOCTOR] I wanted to know what they wanted. What their plan was. I wastheir plan. [AMY] Hey! --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [GOLD] Commencing Phase Two. The Progenitor is activated. It begins. --------------------------------------- (Filing room) [DOCTOR] Testimony accepted. That's what they said.My testimony. [AMY] Don't beat yourself up because you were right. So, what do we do?Is this what we do now? Chase after them? [DOCTOR] This is what I do. yeah, and it's dangerous, so you wait here. [AMY] What, so you mean I've got to stay safe down here in the middle ofthe London Blitz? [DOCTOR] Safe as it gets around me. [AMY] What's he expect us to do now? [CHURCHILL] K B O, of course. [AMY] What? [CHURCHILL] Keep buggering on. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] Come on. Bingo! --------------------------------------- (Churchill's office) [LILIAN] Prime Minister. [CHURCHILL] Yes? [LILIAN] Signal from RDF, sir. Unidentified object. Hanging in the sky,Captain Childers says. We can't get a proper fix, though. It's too farup. [CHURCHILL] What do you think, Miss Pond? The Doctor's in trouble andnow we know where he is. [AMY] Yeah. Because he'll be on that ship, won't he. Right in the middleof everything. [CHURCHILL] Exactly. --------------------------------------- (Roof) [WARDEN] Oi, put that light out. --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [GOLD] The final phase commences, channel allreserve power to Progenitor. [DOCTOR] How about that cuppa now, then? [GOLD] It is the Doctor. [DALEK 2] Exterminate. [DOCTOR] Wait, wait, wait. I wouldn't if I were you. Tardisself-destruct, and you know what that means. My ship goes, you all gowith it. [DALEK] You would not use such a device. [DOCTOR] Try me. [DOCTOR] Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah. No scans. No nothing. One move and I'lldestroy us all, you got that? Tardis bang bang, Daleks boom! Good boy.This ship's pretty beaten up. Running on empty, I'd say, like you. Whenwe last met, you were at the end of your rope. Finished. [DALEK 2] One ship survived. [DOCTOR] And you fell back through time, yes. Crippled, dying. [DALEK] We picked up a trace. One of the Progenitor devices. [DOCTOR] Progenitor? What's that when it's at home? [DALEK] It is our past, and our future. [DOCTOR] Oh? That's deep. That is deep for a Dalek. What does it mean,though? [GOLD] It contains pure Dalek DNA. Thousands were created. All werelost, save one. [DOCTOR] Okay, but there's still one thing I don't get, though. Ifyou've got the Progenitor, why build Bracewell? [DALEK] It was necessary. [DOCTOR] But why? I get it. Oh, I get it. I get it. Oh ho! This is rich.The Progenitor wouldn't recognise you, would it? It saw you as impure.Your DNA is unrecognisable as Dalek. [DALEK] A solution was devised. [DOCTOR] Yes, yes, yes. Me. My testimony. So you set a trap. You knewthat the Progenitor would recognise me, the Daleks' greatest enemy. Itwould accept my word. My recognition of you. No. No, no. What are youdoing? [GOLD] Withdraw now, Doctor, or the city dies in flames. [DOCTOR] Who are you kidding? This ship is a wreck. You don't have thepower to destroy London. [GOLD] Watch as the humans destroy themselves. --------------------------------------- (London) [WARDEN] What the? No. --------------------------------------- (Map room) [TODD] The generators won't switch off. The lightsare on all across London, Prime Minister. [AMY] Has to be them. It has to be the Daleks. [CHURCHILL] The Germans can see every inch of the city. We're sittingducks. Get those lights out before the Germans get here. [BLANCHE] Confirm. Squadron two four four and fifty six mobilised.Emergency. Emergency. [LILIAN] One oh nine? One oh nine, confirm. [CHURCHILL] Thousands will die if we don't get those lights out now. [LILIAN] German bombers sighted over the Channel, sir. ETA ten minutes,sir. [CHURCHILL] Here they come. Get a message to Mister Attlee. War Cabinetmeeting at oh three hundred hours. If we're all still here. [AMY] We can't just sit here. We've got to take the fight to the Daleks. [CHURCHILL] How? None of our weapons are a match for theirs. [AMY] Oh God, we must have something. [MAN [OC]] Six oh four Blenheim squadron, stand by. [AMY] Oh. It's staring us in the face. A gift, from the Daleks. --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [DOCTOR] Turn those lights off now. Turn London offor I swear I will use the Tardis self destruct. [DALEK] Stalemate, Doctor. Leave us and return to Earth. [DOCTOR] Oh, that's it. That's your great victory? You leave? [DALEK] Extinction is not an option. We shall return to our own time andbegin again. [DOCTOR] No, no, no. I won't let you get away this time. I won't. [DALEK] We have succeeded. DNA reconstruction is complete. Observe,Doctor, a new Dalek paradigm. [DALEK] The Progenitor has fulfilled our new destiny. Behold, therestoration of the Daleks. The resurrection of the master race. --------------------------------------- (Laboratory) [CHURCHILL] Bracewell, put the gun down. [BRACEWELL] My life is a lie, and I choose to end it. [AMY] In your own time, Paisley boy, because right now we need yourhelp. [BRACEWELL] But those creatures, my Ironsides, they made me? I canremember things. So many things. The last war. The squalor and the mudand the awful, awful misery of it all. What am I? What am I? [CHURCHILL] What you are, sir, is either on our side or theirs. Now, Idon't give a damn if you're a machine, Bracewell. Are you a man? [AMY] Listen to me. I understand. Really, I do. Look, there is aspaceship up there lighting up London like a Christmas tree. Thousandsof people will die tonight if we don't stop it, and you are the onlyone who can help take it down. [BRACEWELL] I am? [AMY] You're alien technology. You're as clever as the Daleks are, sostart thinking. What about rockets? You got rockets? Because you saidgravity whatsits, hypersonic flight, some kind of missile. [CHURCHILL] It isn't a fireworks party, Miss Pond. We need propertactical. Oh. A missile. Or. [AMY] Or what? [CHURCHILL] We could send something up there, you say? [BRACEWELL] Yes, well, with a gravity bubble, yes, but. Theoreticallyit's possible that we could actually send something into space. [CHURCHILL] Bracewell, it's time to think big. --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [DALEK] All hail the new Daleks. All hail the newDaleks. [WHITE] Yes, you are inferior. [DALEK] Yes. [WHITE] Then prepare. [DALEKS] We are ready. [WHITE] Cleanse the unclean. Total obliteration. Disintegrate. [DOCTOR] Blimey. What do you do to the ones who mess up? [WHITE] You are the Doctor. You must be exterminated. [DOCTOR] Don't mess with me, sweetheart. --------------------------------------- (Map room) [MAN [OC]] More Nazi bombers approaching in strikeformation. Incendiary bombs have hit the East End of London. [CHURCHILL] At last. Are they ready? [BRACEWELL] I hope so. But in the meantime, this will pick up Dalektransmissions. [WHITE [on screen]] We are the paradigm of a new Dalek race. [AMY] It's him. It's the Doctor. [WHITE [on screen]] Scientist, Strategist --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [WHITE] Drone, Eternal, and the Supreme. [DOCTOR] Which would be you, I'm guessing. Well, you know, nice paintjob. --------------------------------------- (Map room) [DOCTOR [on screen]] I'd be feeling pretty swish ifI looked like you. Pretty supreme. [AMY] He's got company. New company. You've got to hurry up. [BRACEWELL] Yes? Right. Right, thanks. Ready when you are, PrimeMinister. [CHURCHILL] Splendid. [BRACEWELL] Spaceship's exact coordinates located. [CHURCHILL] Go to it, Group Captain. Go to it. [CHILDERS] Broadsword to Danny Boy. Broadsword to Danny Boy. Scramble.Scramble. Scramble. --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [DOCTOR] Question is, what do we do now? Either youturn off your clever machine or I'll blow you and your new paradigminto eternity. [WHITE] And yourself. [DOCTOR] Occupational hazard. [BLUE] Scan reveals nothing. Tardis self destruct device non-existent. [DOCTOR] All right, it's a Jammy Dodger, but I was promised tea. [BLUE] Alert. Unidentified projectile approaching. Correction, multipleprojectiles. [WHITE] What have the humans done? [DOCTOR] I don't know. [WHITE] Explain. Explain. Explain.

[WHITE [on screen]] Call off the attack, or we will destroy the Earth. [DOCTOR] I'm not stupid, mate. You've just played your last card. --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [WHITE] Bracewell is a bomb. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] You're bluffing. Deception's second natureto you. There isn't a sincere bone in your body. There isn't a bone inyour body. [WHITE [on screen]] His power is derived from an Oblivion Continuum.Call off your attack, or we will detonate the android. [DOCTOR] No. This is my best chance ever. The last of the Daleks. I canrid the Universe of you, once and for all. [WHITE [on scanner]] Then do it. But we will shatter the planet below. --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [WHITE] The Earth will die screaming. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] Yeah, and if I let you go, you'll bestronger than ever. A new race of Daleks. [WHITE [on scanner]] Then choose, Doctor.

[DOCTOR [OC]] There's no time. You have to return to Earth now. Over. --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [WHITE] The Doctor has failed. His compassion is hisgreatest weakness. Daleks have no such weakness. --------------------------------------- (Map room) [AMY] Doctor! [DOCTOR] Ow. Sorry, Professor, you're a bomb. An inconceivably massiveDalek bomb. [BRACEWELL] What? [DOCTOR] There's an Oblivion Continuum inside you. A captured wormholethat provides perpetual power. Detonate that, and the Earth will bleedthrough into another dimension. Now keep down. --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [WHITE] Detonation sequence activated. Time corridorestablishing. [BLUE] Time jump in thirty rels. --------------------------------------- (Map room) [AMY] Well? [DOCTOR] I don't know, I don't know, I don't know. Never seen one upclose before. [AMY] So what, they've wired him up to detonate? [DOCTOR] Oh no, not wired him up. He is a bomb. Walking, talking, pow,exploding, the moment that flashes red. [AMY] There's a blue wire or something you have to cut, isn't there?There's always a blue wire. Or a red one. [DOCTOR] You're not helping. [CHURCHILL] It's incredible. He talked to us about his memories. TheGreat War. [DOCTOR] Someone else's stolen thoughts, implanted in a positronicbrain. Tell me about it. Bracewell. Tell me about your life. [BRACEWELL] Doctor, I really don't think this is the time. [DOCTOR] Tell me, and prove you're human. Tell me everything. --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [WHITE] Countdown proceeding. --------------------------------------- (Map room) [BRACEWELL] My family ran the Post Office. It's alittle place just near the abbey, just by the ash trees. There used tobe eight trees but there was a storm. [DOCTOR] And your parents? Come on, tell me. [DOCTOR] What was that like? How did it feel? How did it make you feel,Edwin? Tell me. Tell me now. [BRACEWELL] It hurt. It hurt, Doctor, it hurt so badly. It was like awound. I though it was worse than a wound. Like I'd been emptied out.There was nothing left. [DOCTOR] Good. Remember it now, Edwin. The ash trees by the Post Officeand your mum and dad, and losing them, and men in the trenches you sawdie. Remember it. Feel it. You feel it because you're human. You're notlike them. You're not like the Daleks. [BRACEWELL] It hurts, Doctor. It hurts so much. [DOCTOR] Good. Good, good, brilliant. Embrace it. That means you'realive. They cannot explode that bomb because you're a human being. Youare flesh and blood. They cannot explode that bomb. Believe it. You areProfessor Edwin Bracewell, and you, my friend, are a human being. [DOCTOR] It's not working. I can't stop it. [AMY] Hey, Paisley. Ever fancied someone you know you shouldn't? [BRACEWELL] What? [AMY] It hurts, doesn't it? But kind of a good hurt. [BRACEWELL] I really shouldn't talk about her. [AMY] Oh. There's a her. [DOCTOR] What was her name? [BRACEWELL] Dorabella. [DOCTOR] Dorabella? It's a lovely name. It's a beautiful name. [AMY] What was she like, Edwin? [BRACEWELL] Oh, such a smile. And her eyes. Her eyes were so blue.Almost violet, like the last touch of sunset on the edge of the world.Dorabella. --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [BLUE] Oblivion Continuum inactive. [WHITE] Impossible. [BLUE] Time jump imminent. Prepare. --------------------------------------- (Map room) [DOCTOR] Welcome to the human race. [DOCTOR] You're brilliant. (Bracewell) You're brilliant. (Amy) And you,I. [DOCTOR] Now. Got to stop them. Stop the Daleks. [BRACEWELL] Wait, Doctor. Wait, wait. It's too late. --------------------------------------- (Spaceship) [WHITE] You will never defeat us, Doctor. We willreturn. [DALEKS] We will return. --------------------------------------- (Map room) [BRACEWELL] Gone. They've gone. [DOCTOR] No. No! They can't. They can't have got away from me again. [BRACEWELL] No, I can feel it. My mind is clear. The Daleks have gone. [AMY] Doctor, it's okay. You did it. You stopped the bomb. Doctor? [DOCTOR] I had a choice. And they knew I'd choose the Earth. The Dalekshave won. They beat me. They've won. [AMY] But you saved the Earth. Not too shabby, is it? Is it. [DOCTOR] No, it's not too shabby. [CHURCHILL] It's a brilliant achievement, my dear friend. Here, have acigar. [DOCTOR] No. [AMY] So, what now, then? [CHURCHILL] I still have a war to run, Miss Pond. [BLANCHE] Prime Minister. [CHURCHILL] Oh, thank you. Oh, they hit the Palace and Saint Paul'sagain. Fire crews only just saved it. [AMY] Is she okay? [CHURCHILL] What? [AMY] She looks very upset. [CHURCHILL] Oh, Miss Breen? Her young man didn't make it, I'm afraid.Just got word. Shot down over the Channel. Where's the Doctor? [DOCTOR] Tying up loose ends. I've taken out all the alien techBracewell put in. [CHURCHILL] Won't you reconsider, Doctor? Those Spitfires would win methe war in twenty hours. [DOCTOR] Exactly. [CHURCHILL] But why not? Why can't we put an end to all this misery? [DOCTOR] Oh, it doesn't work like that, Winston, and it's going to betough. There are terrible days to come. The darkest days. But you cando it. You know you can. [CHURCHILL] Stay with us, and help us win through. The world needs you. [DOCTOR] The world doesn't need me. [CHURCHILL] No? [DOCTOR] The world's got Winston Spencer Churchill. [CHURCHILL] It's been a pleasure, Doctor, as always. [DOCTOR] Too right. [CHURCHILL] Goodbye, Doctor. [DOCTOR] Oh, shall we say adieu? [CHURCHILL] Indeed. Goodbye, Miss Pond. [AMY] It's, it's been amazing, meeting you. [CHURCHILL] I'm sure it has. [AMY] Oi, Churchill. Tardis key. The one you just took from the Doctor. [CHURCHILL] Oh, she's good, Doctor. As sharp as a pin. Almost as sharpas me. [CHURCHILL] K B O. --------------------------------------- (Laboratory) [BRACEWELL] I've been expecting you, Doctor. I knewthis moment had to come. [DOCTOR] Moment? [BRACEWELL] It's time to de-activate me. [DOCTOR] Is it? Oh. Er, yeah. [BRACEWELL] You have no choice. I'm Dalek technology. Can't allow me togo pottering around down here where I have no business. [DOCTOR] No, you're dead right, Professor. A hundred percent right. Andby the time I get back here in what, ten minutes? [AMY] More like fifteen. [DOCTOR] Fifteen minutes, yeah, that's exactly what I'm going to do. Youare going to be so de-activated. It's going be like you've never evenbeen activated. [AMY] Yeah. [BRACEWELL] Fifteen minutes? [DOCTOR] More like twenty, if I'm honest. Once Pond and I see to theurgent thing we've got to see to. The, the. See? [BRACEWELL] Very well, Doctor. I shall wait here and prepare myself. [AMY] That Dalek tech a bit slow on the uptake. That thing we've got todo, going totake half an hour, realistically, isn't it, Doctor? [DOCTOR] Easily. So no running off, that's what I'm saying. Don't gotrying to find that little Post Office with the ash trees or that girl.What was her name? [BRACEWELL] Dorabella. [DOCTOR] Dorabella. On no account go looking for her. Mind you, you canget a lot done in half an hour. [BRACEWELL] Thank you. Thank you, Doctor. [DOCTOR] Come along, Pond. --------------------------------------- (Filing room) [AMY] So, you have enemies then? [DOCTOR] Everyone's got enemies. [AMY] Yeah, but mine's the woman outside Budgens with the mental JackRussell. You've got, like, you know, arch-enemies. [DOCTOR] Suppose so. [AMY] And here's me thinking we'd just be running through time, beingdaft and fixing stuff. But no, it's dangerous. [DOCTOR] Yep. Very. Is that a problem? [AMY] I'm still here, aren't I? You're worried about the Daleks. [DOCTOR] I'm always worried about the Daleks. [AMY] It'll take time though, won't it? I mean, there's still not manyof them. They'll need a while to build themselves up. [DOCTOR] It's not that. There's something else. Something we'veforgotten. Or rather you have. [AMY] Me? [DOCTOR] You didn't know them, Amy. You'd never seen them before. Andyou should have done. You should.

[DOCTOR] Coordinates. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [RIVER] Like I said on the dance floor, you mightwant to find something to hang on to. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] Whoo! [AMY] Doctor? [DOCTOR] River? [RIVER] Follow that ship. [RIVER] They've gone into warp drive. We're losing them. Stay close. [DOCTOR] I'm trying. [RIVER] Use the stabilisers. [DOCTOR] There aren't any stabilisers. [RIVER] The blue switches. [DOCTOR] Oh, the blue ones don't do anything, they're just blue. [RIVER] Yes, they're blue. Look, they're the blue stabilisers. [RIVER] See? [DOCTOR] Yeah. Well, it's just boring now, isn't it? They're boring-ers.They're blue boring-ers. [AMY] Doctor, how come she can fly the Tardis? [DOCTOR] You call that flying the Tardis? Ha! [RIVER] Okay. I've mapped the probability vectors, done a fold-back onthe temporal isometry, charted the ship to its destination, and parkedus right along side. [DOCTOR] Parked us? We haven't landed. [RIVER] Of course we've landed. I just landed her. [DOCTOR] But, it didn't make the noise. [RIVER] What noise? [DOCTOR] You know, the (wheezing). [RIVER] It's not supposed to make that noise. You leave the brakes on. [DOCTOR] Yeah, well, it's a brilliant noise. I love that noise. Comealong, Pond. Let's have a look. [RIVER] No, wait. Environment checks. [DOCTOR] Oh yes, sorry. Quite right. Environment checks. [DOCTOR] Nice out. [RIVER] We're somewhere in the Garn Belt. There's an atmosphere. Earlyindications suggest that [DOCTOR] We're on Alfava Metraxis, the seventh planet of the DundraSystem.Oxygen rich atmosphere, all toxins in the soft band, eleven hour dayand chances of rain later. [RIVER] He thinks he's so hot when he does that. [AMY] How come you can fly the Tardis? [RIVER] Oh, I had lessons from the very best. [DOCTOR] Well, yeah. [RIVER] It's a shame you were busy that day. Right then, why did theyland here? [DOCTOR] They didn't land. [RIVER] Sorry? [DOCTOR] You should've checked the Home Box. It crashed. [AMY] Explain Who is that and how did she do that museum thing? [DOCTOR] It's a long story and I don't know most of it. Off we go. [AMY] What are you doing? [DOCTOR] Leaving. She's got where she wants to go, let's go where wewant to go. [AMY] Are you basically running away? [DOCTOR] Yep. [AMY] Why? [DOCTOR] Because she's the future. My future. [AMY] Can you run away from that? [DOCTOR] I can run away from anything I like. Time is not the boss ofme. [AMY] Hang on, is that a planet out there? [DOCTOR] Yes, of course it's a planet. [AMY] You promised me a planet. Five minutes? [DOCTOR] Okay, five minutes. [AMY] Yes! [DOCTOR] But that's all, because I'm telling you now, that woman is notdragging me into anything. --------------------------------------- (Planet surface) [AMY] What caused it to crash? [RIVER] Not me. [DOCTOR] Nah, the airlock would've sealed seconds after you blew it.According to the Home Box, the warp engines had a phase shift. Nosurvivors. [RIVER] A phase shift would have to be sabotage. I did warn them. [DOCTOR] About what? [RIVER] Well, at least the building was empty. Aplan temple. Unoccupiedfor centuries. [AMY] Aren't you going to introduce us? [DOCTOR] Amy Pond, Professor River Song. [RIVER] Ah, I'm going to be a Professor some day, am I? How exciting.Spoilers. [AMY] Yeah, but who is she and how did she do that? She just left you anote in a museum. [RIVER] Two things always guaranteed to show up in a museum. The HomeBox of category four starliner and sooner or later, him. It's how hekeeps score. [AMY] I know. [RIVER] It's hilarious, isn't it? [DOCTOR] I'm nobody's taxi service. I'm not going to be there to catchyou every time you feel like jumping out of a space ship. [RIVER] And you are so wrong. There's one survivor. There's a thing inthe belly of that ship that can't ever die. Now he's listening. [RIVER] You lot in orbit yet? Yeah, I saw it land. I'm at the crashsite. Try and home in on my signal. Doctor, can you sonic me? I need toboost the signal so we can use it as a beacon. [AMY] Ooo, Doctor, you sonicked her. [RIVER] We have a minute. Shall we? [RIVER] Where are we up to? Have we done the Bone Meadows? [AMY] What's the book? [DOCTOR] Stay away from it. [AMY] What is it though? [DOCTOR] Her diary. [RIVER] Our diary. [DOCTOR] Her past, my future. Time travel. We keep meeting in the wrongorder. [OCTAVIAN] You promised me an army, Doctor Song. [RIVER] No, I promised you the equivalent of an army. This is theDoctor. [OCTAVIAN] Father Octavian, Sir. Bishop, second class. Twenty clerics atmy command. The troops are already in the drop ship and landingshortly. Doctor Song was helping us with a covert investigation. HasDoctor Song explained what we're dealing with? [RIVER] Doctor, what do you know of the Weeping Angels? --------------------------------------- (Camp) [OCTAVIAN] The Angel, as far as we know, is still trapped in the ship.Our mission is to get inside and neutralise it. We can't get through uptop, we'd be too close to the drives. According to this, behind thecliff face there's a network of catacombs leading right up to thetemple. We can blow through the base of the cliffs, get into theentrance chamber, then make our way up. [DOCTOR] Oh, good. [OCTAVIAN] Good, sir? [DOCTOR] Catacombs. Probably dark ones. Dark catacombs. Great. [OCTAVIAN] Technically, I think it's called a maze of the dead. [DOCTOR] You can stop any time you like. [SOLDIER [OC]] Father Octavian? [OCTAVIAN] Excuse me, sir. [AMY] You're letting people call you sir. You never do that. So,whatever a Weeping Angel is, it's really bad, yeah? [DOCTOR] Now that's interesting. You're still here. Which part of waitin the Tardis till I tell you it's safe was so confusing? [AMY] Ooo, you are all Mister Grumpy Face today. [DOCTOR] A Weeping Angel, Amy, is the deadliest, most powerful, mostmalevolent life form evolution has ever produced, and right now one ofthem is trapped inside that wreckage and I'm supposed to climb in afterit with a screwdriver and a torch, and assuming I survive the radiationlong enough and assuming the whole ship doesn't explode in my face, dosomething incredibly clever which I haven't actually thought of yet.That's my day. That's what I'm up to. Any questions? [AMY] Is River Song your wife? Because she's someone from your future,and the way she talks to you, I've never seen anyone do that. She'skind of like, you know, heel, boy. She's Mrs Doctor from the future,isn't she? Is shegoing to be your wife one day? [DOCTOR] Yes, you're right. I am definitely Mister Grumpy Face today. [RIVER] Doctor! Doctor? [AMY] Oops. Her indoors. [RIVER] Father Octavian. [AMY] Why do they call him Father? [DOCTOR] He's their Bishop, they're his Clerics. It's the fifty firstCentury. The Church has moved on. --------------------------------------- (Drop ship) [RIVER] What do you think? It's from the security cameras in theByzantium vault. I ripped it when I was on board. Sorry about thequality. It's four seconds. I've put it on loop. [DOCTOR] Yeah, it's an Angel. Hands covering its face. [OCTAVIAN] You've encountered the Angels before. [DOCTOR] Once, on Earth, a long time ago. But those were scavengers,barely surviving. [AMY] But it's just a statue. [RIVER] It's a statue when you see it. [DOCTOR] Where did it come from? [RIVER] Oh, pulled from the ruins of Razbahan, end of last century. It'sbeen in private hands ever since. Dormant all that time. [DOCTOR] There's a difference between dormant and patient. [AMY] What's that mean, it's a statue when you see it? [RIVER] The Weeping Angels can only move if they're unseen. So legendhas it. [DOCTOR] No, it's not legend, it's a quantum lock. In the sight of anyliving creature the Angels literally cease to exist. They're juststone. The ultimate defence mechanism. [AMY] What, being a stone? [DOCTOR] Being a stone until you turn your back. --------------------------------------- (Camp) [DOCTOR] The hyperdrive would've split on impact.That whole ship's going to be flooded with drive burn radiation,cracked electrons, gravity storms. Deadly to almost any living thing. [OCTAVIAN] Deadly to an Angel? [DOCTOR] Dinner to an Angel. The longer we leave it there, the strongerit will grow. Who built that temple? Are they still around? [RIVER] The Aplans. Indigenous life form. They died out four hundredyears ago. [OCTAVIAN] Two hundred years later, the planet was terraformed.Currently there are six billion human colonists. [DOCTOR] Whoo! You lot, you're everywhere. You're like rabbits. I'llnever get done saving you. [OCTAVIAN] Sir, if there is a clear and present danger to the localpopulation [DOCTOR] Oh, there is. Bad as it gets. Bishop, lock and load. [OCTAVIAN] Verger, how are we doing with those explosives? Doctor Song,with me. [RIVER] Two minutes. Sweetie, I need you. [DOCTOR] Sweetie? [AMY] Anybody need me? Nobody? [RIVER] I found this. Definitive work on the Angels. Well, the only one.Written by a madman. It's barely readable, but I've marked a fewpassages. [DOCTOR] Not bad. Bit slow in the middle. Didn't you hate hisgirlfriend? No. No, hang on. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. [AMY] Doctor Song? Did you have more than one clip of the Angel? [RIVER] No, just the four seconds. [DOCTOR] This book is wrong. What's wrong with this book? It's wrong. [RIVER] It's so strange when you go all baby face. How early is this foryou? [DOCTOR] Very early. [RIVER] So you don't know who I am yet? [DOCTOR] How do you know who I am? I don't always look the same. [RIVER] I've got pictures of all your faces. You never show up in theright order, though. I need the spotter's guide. [DOCTOR] Pictures. Why aren't there pictures? --------------------------------------- (Drop ship) [AMY] But you're just a recording. You can't move. [AMY] Doctor? [AMY] Doctor! --------------------------------------- (Camp) [DOCTOR] This whole book, it's a warning about theWeeping Angels, so why no pictures? Why not show us what to look outfor? [RIVER] There was a bit about images. What was that? [DOCTOR] Yes. Hang on. (reads) That which holds the image of an angelbecomes itself an angel. --------------------------------------- (Drop ship) [AMY] Doctor! --------------------------------------- (Camp) [RIVER] What does that mean? An image of a Angelbecomes itself an Angel. --------------------------------------- (Drop ship) [AMY] Doctor! It's in the room! --------------------------------------- (Camp) [DOCTOR] Amy! [AMY [OC]] Doctor! [DOCTOR] Are you all right? What's happening? --------------------------------------- (Drop ship) [DOCTOR] Doctor? Doctor, it's coming out of thetelevision. --------------------------------------- (Outside the drop ship) [AMY [OC]] The Angel is here. [DOCTOR] Don't take your eyes off it. Keep looking. It can't move ifyou're looking. [RIVER] What's wrong? [DOCTOR] Deadlocked. [RIVER] There is no deadlock. [DOCTOR] Don't blink, Amy. Don't even blink. --------------------------------------- (Drop ship) [AMY] Doctor. --------------------------------------- (Outside the drop ship) [RIVER] What are you doing? [DOCTOR] Cutting the power. It's using the screen, I'm turning thescreen off. No good, it's deadlocked the whole system. [RIVER] There's no deadlock. [DOCTOR] There is now. [AMY [OC]] Help me! [DOCTOR] Can you turn it off? --------------------------------------- (Drop ship) [AMY] Doctor. [DOCTOR [OC]] The screen. Can you turn it off? [AMY] I tried. [DOCTOR [OC]] Try again --------------------------------------- (Outside the drop ship) [DOCTOR] But don't take your eyes off the Angel. --------------------------------------- (Drop ship) [AMY] I'm not. --------------------------------------- (Outside the drop ship) [DOCTOR] Each time it moves, it'll move faster.Don't even blink. --------------------------------------- (Drop ship) [AMY] I'm not blinking. Have you ever tried not blinking? [AMY] It just keeps switching back on. --------------------------------------- (Outside the drop ship) [DOCTOR] Yeah, it's the Angel. --------------------------------------- (Drop ship) [AMY] But it's just a recording. --------------------------------------- (Outside the drop ship) [DOCTOR] No, anything that takes the image of anAngel is an Angel. What are you doing? [RIVER] I'm trying to cut through. It's not even warm. [DOCTOR] There is no way in. It's not physically possible. --------------------------------------- (Drop ship) [AMY] Doctor, what's it going to do to me? --------------------------------------- (Outside the drop ship) [DOCTOR] Just keep looking at it. Don't stoplooking. --------------------------------------- (Drop ship) [AMY] Just tell me. --------------------------------------- (Outside the drop ship) [AMY [OC]] Tell me. Tell me! [DOCTOR] Amy, not the eyes. --------------------------------------- (Drop ship) [DOCTOR [OC]] Look at the Angel but don't look atthe eyes. --------------------------------------- (Drop ship) [AMY] Why? --------------------------------------- (Outside the drop ship) [RIVER] What is it? [DOCTOR] (reads) The eyes are not the windows of the soul. They are thedoors. Beware what may enter there. --------------------------------------- (Drop ship) [AMY] Doctor, what did you say? [DOCTOR [OC]] Don't look at the eyes! [AMY] No, about images. What did you say about images? --------------------------------------- (Outside the drop ship) [RIVER] Whatever holds the image of an Angel, is anAngel. --------------------------------------- (Drop ship) [AMY] Okay, hold this. One, two, three, four. [AMY] I froze it. There was a sort of blip on the tape and I froze it onthe blip. It wasn't the image of an Angel any more. That was good,yeah? It was, wasn't it? That was pretty good. [RIVER] That was amazing. [DOCTOR] River, hug Amy. [AMY] Why? [DOCTOR] Because I'm busy. [AMY] I'm fine. [RIVER] You're brilliant. [AMY] Thanks. Yeah, I kind of creamed it, didn't I? [RIVER] So it was here? That was the Angel? [DOCTOR] That was a projection of the Angel. It's reaching out, gettinga good look at us. It's no longer dormant. --------------------------------------- (Camp) [CLERIC] Last one positive. [OCTAVIAN] Doctor? We're through. --------------------------------------- (Drop ship) [DOCTOR] Okay, now it starts. [RIVER] Coming? [AMY] Yeah, coming. There's just something in my eye. --------------------------------------- (Entrance chamber) [DOCTOR] Do we have a gravity globe? [OCTAVIAN] Grav globe. [AMY] Where are we? What is this? [RIVER] It's an Aplan Mortarium, sometimes called a Maze of the Dead. [AMY] What's that? [DOCTOR] Well, if you happen to be a creature of living stone [DOCTOR] The perfect hiding place. [OCTAVIAN] I guess this makes it a bit trickier. [DOCTOR] A bit, yeah. [OCTAVIAN] A stone Angel on the loose amongst stone statues. A lotharder than I'd prayed for. [RIVER] A needle in a haystack. [DOCTOR] A needle that looks like hay. A hay-like needle of death. Ahay-alike needle of death in a haystack of, er, statues. No, yours wasfine. [OCTAVIAN] Right. Check every single statue in this chamber. You knowwhat you're looking for. Complete visual inspection. One question. Howdo we fight it? [DOCTOR] We find it, and hope. [OCTAVIAN] He doesn't know yet, does he? Who and what you are. [RIVER] It's too early in his time stream. [OCTAVIAN] Well, make sure he doesn't work it out, or he's not going tohelp us. [RIVER] I won't let you down. Believe you me, I have no intention ofgoing back to prison. [CHRISTIAN] Sir? Side chamber. One visible exit. [OCTAVIAN] Check it out. Angelo, go with him. --------------------------------------- (Maze) [RIVER] You all right? [AMY] Yeah, I'm fine. So, what's a Maze of the Dead? [RIVER] Oh, it's not as bad as it sounds. It's just a labyrinth withdead people buried in the walls. Okay, that was fairly bad. Right giveme your arm. This won't hurt a bit. [AMY] Ow! [RIVER] There, you see. I lied. It's a viro-stabiliser. Stabilises yourmetabolism against radiation, drive burn, anything. You're going toneed it when we get up to that ship. [AMY] So what's he like? In the future, I mean. Because you know him inthe future, don't you? [RIVER] The Doctor? Well, the Doctor's the Doctor. [AMY] Oh. Well, that's very helpful. Mind if I write that down? [RIVER] Yes, we are. [DOCTOR] Sorry, what? [RIVER] Talking about you. [DOCTOR] I wasn't listening. I'm busy. [RIVER] Ah. The other way up. [DOCTOR] Yeah. [AMY] You're so his wife. [RIVER] Oh, Amy, Amy, Amy. This is the Doctor we're talking about. Doyou really think it could be anything that simple? [AMY] Yep. [RIVER] You're good. I'm not saying you're right, but you are very good. --------------------------------------- (Side chamber) [CHRISTIAN] Can you believe this? We're huntingstatues. [ANGELO] Better than chasing lava snakes. [CHRISTIAN] Actually, lava snakes weren't that bad. --------------------------------------- (Cave) [CHRISTIAN] Who's there? Is someone there? Angelo. Angelo! --------------------------------------- (Side chamber) [ANGELO] Christian, is that you? [CHRISTIAN [OC]] Angelo, come and see this. [ANGELO] What is it? [CHRISTIAN [OC]] Just come and see it. [ANGELO] It's not a school trip. Just tell me. [CHRISTIAN [OC]] No, really. Come and see. --------------------------------------- (Entrance chamber) [BOB] Sorry, sorry. I thought. I thought it looked at me. [OCTAVIAN] We know what the Angel looks like. Is that the Angel? [BOB] No, sir. [OCTAVIAN] No, sir, it is not. According to the Doctor, we are facing anenemy of unknowable power and infinite evil, so it would be good, itwould be very good, if we could all remain calm in the presence ofdecor. [DOCTOR] What's your name? [BOB] Bob, sir. [DOCTOR] Ah, that's a great name. I love Bob. [OCTAVIAN] It's a Sacred Name. We all have Sacred Names. They're givento us in the service of the Church. [DOCTOR] Sacred Bob. More like Scared Bob now, eh? [BOB] Yes, sir. [DOCTOR] Ah, good. Scared keeps you fast. Anyone in this room who isn'tscared is a moron. Carry on. [OCTAVIAN] We'll be moving into the maze in two minutes. You stay withChristian and Angelo. Guard the approach. --------------------------------------- (Maze) [AMY] Isn't there a chance this lot's just going tocollapse? There's a whole ship up there. [RIVER] Incredible builders, the Aplans. [DOCTOR] Had dinner with their Chief Architect once. Two heads arebetter than one. [AMY] What, you mean you helped him? [DOCTOR] No, I mean he had two heads. That book, the very end, what didit say? [RIVER] Hang on. [DOCTOR] Read it to me. [RIVER] What if we had ideas that could think for themselves? What ifone day our dreams no longer needed us? When these things occur and areheld to be true, the time will be upon us. The time of Angels. --------------------------------------- (Cave) [BOB [OC]] Hey, Angelo, Christian, where are you? --------------------------------------- (Maze) [AMY] Are we there yet? It's a hell of a climb. [RIVER] The Maze is on six levels, representing the ascent of the soul.Only two levels to go. [DOCTOR] Lovely species, the Aplans. We should visit them some time. [AMY] I thought they were all dead? [DOCTOR] So is Virginia Woolf. I'm on her bowling team. Very relaxed,sort of cheerful. Well, that's having two heads, of course. You'renever short of a snog with an extra head. [RIVER] Doctor, there's something. I don't know what it is. [DOCTOR] Yeah, there's something wrong. Don't know what it is yet,either. Working on it. Of course, then they started having laws againstself-marrying. I mean, what was that about? But that's the Church foryou. Er, no offence, Bishop. [OCTAVIAN] Quite a lot taken, if that's all right, Doctor. Lowest pointin the wreckage is only about fifty feet up from here. That way. [AMY] The Church had a point, if you think about it. The divorces musthave been messy. [DOCTOR] Oh. [AMY] What's wrong? [RIVER] Oh. [DOCTOR] Exactly. [RIVER] How could we have not noticed that? [DOCTOR] Low level perception filter, or maybe we're thick. [OCTAVIAN] What's wrong, sir? [DOCTOR] Nobody move. Nobody move. Everyone stay exactly where they are.Bishop, I am truly sorry. I've made a mistake and we are all interrible danger. [OCTAVIAN] What danger? [RIVER] The Aplans. [OCTAVIAN] The Aplans? [RIVER] They've got two heads. [OCTAVIAN] Yes, I get that. So? [DOCTOR] So why don't the statues? Everyone, over there. Just move.Don't ask questions, don't speak. [DOCTOR] Okay, I want you all to switch off your torches. [MARCO] Sir? [DOCTOR] Just do it. Okay. I'm going to turn off this one too, just fora moment. [RIVER] Are you sure about this? [DOCTOR] No. [AMY] Oh, my God. They've moved. [DOCTOR] They're Angels. All of them. [RIVER] But they can't be. [DOCTOR] Clerics, keep watching them. [DOCTOR] Every statue in this Maze, every single one, is a WeepingAngel. They're coming after us. --------------------------------------- (Entrance chamber) [ANGELO [OC]] Bob, come and see this. [BOB] Angelo? [ANGELO [OC]] Come and see what we've found. [BOB] Are you with Christian? The Bishop said you'd be five minutes. [ANGELO [OC]] I'm here, Bob. Come and see this. [BOB] Where are you? [ANGELO [OC]] Through the arch, Bob. Honestly, you've got to come andsee this. [BOB] What have you found? [ANGELO [OC]] Come and see. [BOB] No. What is it? [ANGELO [OC]] Come and see. --------------------------------------- (Maze) [RIVER] But there was only one Angel on the ship.Just the one, I swear. [AMY] Could they have been here already? [DOCTOR] The Aplans. What happened? How did they die out? [RIVER] Nobody knows. [DOCTOR] We know. [OCTAVIAN] They don't look like Angels. [AMY] And they're not fast. You said they were fast. They should havehad us by now. [DOCTOR] Look at them. They're dying, losing their form. They must havebeen down here for centuries, starving. [AMY] Losing their image? [DOCTOR] And their image is their power. Power. Power! [AMY] Doctor? [DOCTOR] Don't you see? All that radiation spilling out the drive burn.The crash of the Byzantium wasn't an accident, it was a rescue missionfor the Angels. We're in the middle of an army, and it's waking up. [RIVER] We need to get out of here fast. [OCTAVIAN] Bob, Angelo, Christian, come in, please. Any of you, come in. [BOB [OC]] It's Bob, sir. Sorry, sir. [OCTAVIAN] Bob, are Angelo and Christian with you? All the statues areactive. I repeat, all the statues are active. [BOB [OC]] I know, sir. Angelo and Christian are dead, sir. The statueskilled them, sir. [DOCTOR] Bob, Sacred Bob, it's me, the Doctor. [OCTAVIAN] I'm talking to [DOCTOR] Where are you now? [OCTAVIAN] I'm talking to my [DOCTOR] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, shut up. [BOB [OC]] I'm on my way up to you, sir. I'm homing in on your signal. [DOCTOR] Ah, well done, Bob. Scared keeps you fast. Told you, didn't I.Your friends, Bob. What did the Angel do to them? [BOB [OC]] Snapped their necks, sir. [DOCTOR] That's odd. That's not how the Angels kill you. They displaceyou in time. Unless they needed the bodies for something. [OCTAVIAN] Bob, did you check their data packs for vital signs? We maybe able to initiate a rescue plan. [DOCTOR] Oh, don't be an idiot. The Angels don't leave you alive. Bob,keep running. But tell me, how did you escape? [BOB [OC]] I didn't escape, sir. The Angel killed me, too. [DOCTOR] What do you mean, the Angel killed you? [BOB [OC]] Snapped my neck, sir. Wasn't as painless as I expected, butit was pretty quick, so that was something. [DOCTOR] If you're dead, how can I be talking to you? [BOB [OC]] You're not talking to me, sir. The Angel has no voice. Itstripped my cerebral cortex from my body and re-animated a version ofmy consciousness to communicate with you. Sorry about the confusion. [DOCTOR] So when you say you're on your way up to us [BOB [OC]] It's the Angel that's coming, sir, yes. No way out. [OCTAVIAN] Then we get out through the wreckage. Go! Go, go, go. All ofyou run. [AMY] Doctor. [DOCTOR] Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm coming. Just go. Go, go, go. Yeah. Calledyou an idiot. Sorry, but there's no way we could have rescued your men. [OCTAVIAN] I know that, sir. And when you've flown away in your littleblue box, I'll explain that to their families. [DOCTOR] Angel Bob. Which Angel am I talking to? The one from the ship? [BOB [OC]] Yes, sir. And the other Angels are still restoring. [DOCTOR] Ah, so the Angel is not in the wreckage. Thank you. [DOCTOR] Don't wait for me. Go, run. [AMY] I can't. No, really, I can't. [DOCTOR] Why not? [AMY] Look at it. Look at my hand. It's stone. --------------------------------------- (Tunnel) [OCTAVIAN] Well. There it is, the Byzantium. [RIVER] It's got to be thirty feet. How do we get up there? [OCTAVIAN] Check all these exits. I want them all secure. --------------------------------------- (Maze) [DOCTOR] You looked into the eyes of an Angel,didn't you? [AMY] I couldn't stop myself. I tried. [DOCTOR] Listen to me. It's messing with your head. Your hand is notmade of stone. [AMY] It is. Look at it. [DOCTOR] It's in your mind, I promise you. You can move that hand. Youcan let go. [AMY] I can't, okay? I've tried and I can't. It's stone. [DOCTOR] The Angel is going to come and it's going to turn this lightoff, and then there's nothing I can do to stop it, so do it.Concentrate. Move your hand. [AMY] I can't. [DOCTOR] Then we're both going to die. [AMY] You're not going to die. [DOCTOR] They'll kill the lights. [AMY] You've got to go. You know you have. You've got all that stuffwith River and that's all got to happen. You know you can't die here. [DOCTOR] Time can be re-written. It doesn't work like that. [DOCTOR] Keep your eyes on it. Don't blink. [AMY] Run! [DOCTOR] You see, I'm not going. I'm not leaving you here. [AMY] I don't need you to die for me, Doctor. Do I look that clingy? [DOCTOR] You can move your hand. [AMY] It's stone. [DOCTOR] It's not stone. [AMY] You've got to go. Those people up there will die without you. Ifyou stay here with me, you'll have as good as killed them. [DOCTOR] Amy Pond, you are magnificent, and I'm sorry. [DOCTOR] Oh, no, I'm not leaving you, never. I'm sorry about this. [AMY] Ow! [DOCTOR] See? Not stone. Now run. [AMY] You bit me. [DOCTOR] Yeah, and you're alive. [AMY] Look, I've got a mark. Look at my hand. [DOCTOR] Yes, and you're alive. Did I mention? [AMY] Blimey, your teeth. Have you got space teeth? [DOCTOR] Yeah. Alive. All I'm saying. --------------------------------------- (Tunnel) [MARCO] The statues are advancing along allcorridors. And, sir, my torch keeps flickering. [OCTAVIAN] They all do. [RIVER] So does the gravity globe. [OCTAVIAN] Clerics, we're down to four men. Expect incoming. [DOCTOR] Yeah, it's the Angels. They're coming. And they're draining thepower for themselves. [OCTAVIAN] Which means we won't be able to see them. [DOCTOR] Which means we can't stay here. [OCTAVIAN] Two more incoming. [RIVER] Any suggestions? [OCTAVIAN] The statues are advancing on all sides. We don't have theclimbing equipment to reach the Byzantium. [RIVER] There's no way up, no way back, no way out. No pressure, butthis is usually when you have a really good idea. [DOCTOR] There's always a way out. [ECHO] There's always a way out. There's always a way out. [DOCTOR] There's always a way out. [BOB [OC]] Doctor? Can I speak to the Doctor, please? [DOCTOR] Hello, Angels. What's your problem? [BOB [OC]] Your power will not last much longer, and the Angels will bewith you shortly. Sorry, sir. [DOCTOR] Why are you telling me this? [BOB [OC]] There's something the Angels are very keen you should knowbefore the end. [DOCTOR] Which is? [BOB [OC]] I died in fear. [DOCTOR] I'm sorry? [BOB [OC]] You told me my fear would keep me alive, but I died afraid,in pain and alone. You made me trust you, and when it mattered, you letme down. [AMY] What are they doing? [RIVER] They're trying to make him angry. [BOB [OC]] I'm sorry, sir. The Angels were very keen for you to knowthat. [DOCTOR] Well then, the Angels have made their second mistake becauseI'm not going to let that pass. I'm sorry you're dead, Bob, but I swearto whatever is left of you, they will be sorrier. [BOB [OC]] But you're trapped, sir, and about to die. [DOCTOR] Yeah. I'm trapped. And you know what? Speaking of traps, thistrap has got a great big mistake in it. A great big, whopping mistake. [BOB [OC]] What mistake, sir? [DOCTOR] Trust me. [AMY] Yeah. [DOCTOR] Trust me? [RIVER] Always. [DOCTOR] You lot, trust me? [MARCO] Sir, two more incoming. [OCTAVIAN] We have faith, sir. [DOCTOR] Then give me your gun. I'm about to do something incrediblystupid and dangerous. When I do, jump! [OCTAVIAN] Jump where? [DOCTOR] Just jump, high as you can. Come on, leap of faith, Bishop. Onmy signal. [OCTAVIAN] What signal? [DOCTOR] You won't miss it. [BOB [OC]] Sorry, can I ask again? You mentioned a mistake we made. [DOCTOR] Oh, big mistake. Huge. Didn't anyone every tell you there's onething you never put in a trap? If you're smart, if you value yourcontinued existence, if you have any plans about seeing tomorrow, thereis one thing you never, ever put in a trap. [BOB [OC]] And what would that be, sir? [DOCTOR] Me.

Doctor Who (1 May, 2010; Eleventh Doctor) - Flesh and Stone [DOCTOR] Up. Look up. [RIVER] Are you okay? [AMY] What happened? [RIVER] We jumped. [AMY] Jumped where? [DOCTOR] Up. Up. Look up. [AMY] Where are we? [RIVER] Exactly where we were. [AMY] No we're not. [DOCTOR] Move your feet. [AMY] Doctor, what am I looking at? Explain. [DOCTOR] Oh, come on, Amy, think. The ship crashed with the power stillon, yeah? So what else is still on? [DOCTOR] The artificial gravity. One good jump, and up we fell. Shot outthe grav globe to give us an updraft, and here we are. [OCTAVIAN] Doctor, the statues. They look more like Angels now. [DOCTOR] They're feeding on the radiation from the wreckage, drainingall the power from the ship, restoring themselves. Within an hour,they'll be an army. [DOCTOR] They're taking out the lights. Look at them. Look at theAngels. Into the ship, now. Quickly, all of you. [AMY] How? [AMY] Doctor! [DOCTOR] It's just a corridor. The gravity orientates to the floor. Now,in here, all of you. Don't take your eyes off the Angels. Move, move,move. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [OCTAVIAN [OC]] Okay, men. Go, go, go! [OCTAVIAN] The Angels. Presumably they can jump up too? [DOCTOR] They're here, now. In the dark, we're finished. [DOCTOR] Run! [OCTAVIAN] This whole place is a death trap. [DOCTOR] No, it's a time bomb. Well, it's a death trap and a time bomb.And now it's a dead end. Nobody panic. Oh, just me then. What's throughhere? [RIVER] Secondary flight deck. [AMY] Okay. so we've basically run up the inside of a chimney, yeah? Sowhat if the gravity fails? [DOCTOR] I've thought about that. [AMY] And? [DOCTOR] And we'll all plunge to our deaths. See? I've thought about it.The security protocols are still live. There's no way to override them.It's impossible. [RIVER] How impossible? [DOCTOR] Two minutes. [OCTAVIAN] The hull is breached and the power's failing. [MARCO] Sir, incoming. [AMY] Doctor? Lights. [OCTAVIAN] Clerics, keep watching them. [DOCTOR] And don't look at their eyes. Anywhere else. Not the eyes. I'veisolated the lighting grid. They can't drain the power now. [OCTAVIAN] Good work, Doctor. [DOCTOR] Yes. Good, good, good. Good in many ways. Good you like it sofar. [AMY] So far? [DOCTOR] Well, there's only one way to open this door. I guess I'll needto route all the power in this section through the door control. [OCTAVIAN] Good. Fine. Do it. [DOCTOR] Including the lights. All of them. I'll need to turn out thelights. [OCTAVIAN] How long for? [DOCTOR] Fraction of a second. Maybe longer. Maybe quite a bit longer. [OCTAVIAN] Maybe? [DOCTOR] I'm guessing. We're being attacked by statues in a crashedship. There isn't a manual for this. [AMY] Doctor, we lost the torches. We'll be in total darkness. [DOCTOR] No other way. Bishop. [OCTAVIAN] Doctor Song, I've lost good Clerics today. You trust thisman? [RIVER] I absolutely trust him. [OCTAVIAN] He's not some kind of madman, then? [RIVER] I absolutely trust him. [DOCTOR] Excuse me. [OCTAVIAN] (sotto) I'm taking your word, because you're the only one whocan manage this guy. But that only works so long as he doesn't know whoyou are. You cost me any more men, and I might just tell him.Understood? [RIVER] Understood. [OCTAVIAN] Okay, Doctor. We've got your back. [DOCTOR] Bless you. Bishop. [OCTAVIAN] Combat distance, ten feet. As soon as the lights go down,continuous fire. Full spread over the hostiles. Do not stop firingwhile the lights are out. Shot gun protocol. We don't have bullets towaste. [DOCTOR] Amy, when the lights go down, the wheel should release. Spin itclockwise four turns. [AMY] Ten. [DOCTOR] No, four. Four turns. [AMY] Yeah, four. I heard you. [DOCTOR] Ready! [OCTAVIAN] On my count, then. God be with us all. Three, two, one, fire! [DOCTOR] Turn! [AMY] Doctor, it's opening. It's working. [DOCTOR] Fall back! --------------------------------------- (Secondary Flight Deck) [RIVER] Doctor, quickly. [AMY] Doctor! [AMY] Doctor! What are you doing? [OCTAVIAN] Magnetized the door. Nothing could turn that wheel now. [DOCTOR] Yeah? [OCTAVIAN] Dear God! [DOCTOR] Ah, now you're getting it. You've bought us time though. That'sgood. I am good with time. [AMY] Doctor. [OCTAVIAN] Seal that door. Seal it now. [RIVER] We're surrounded. [OCTAVIAN] Seal it. Seal that door. Doctor, how long have we got? [DOCTOR] Five minutes, max. [AMY] Nine. [DOCTOR] Five. [AMY] Five. Right. Yeah. [DOCTOR] Why'd you say nine? [AMY] I didn't. [RIVER] We need another way out of here. [OCTAVIAN] There isn't one. [DOCTOR] Yeah, there is. Course there is. This is a galaxy class ship.Goes for years between planet falls. So, what do they need? [RIVER] Of course. [AMY] Of course what? What do they need? [OCTAVIAN] Can we get in there? [DOCTOR] Well, it's a sealed unit, but they must have installed itsomehow. This whole wall should slide up. There's clamps. Release theclamps. [AMY] What's through there? What do they need? [RIVER] They need to breathe. [AMY] But that's. That's a. [RIVER] It's an oxygen factory. [AMY] It's a forest. [RIVER] Yeah, it's a forest. It's an oxygen factory. [DOCTOR] And if we're lucky, an escape route. [AMY] Eight. [RIVER] What did you say? [AMY] Nothing. [DOCTOR] Is there another exit? Scan the architecture, we don't havetime to get lost in there. [OCTAVIAN] On it. Stay where you are until I've checked the Rad levels. [AMY] But trees, on a space ship? [DOCTOR] Oh, more than trees. Way better than trees. You're going tolove this. Treeborgs. Trees plus technology. Branches become cablesbecome sensors on the hull. A forest sucking in starlight, breathingout air. It even rains. There's a whole mini-climate. This vault is anecopod running right through the heart of the ship. A forest in abottle on a space ship in a maze. Have I impressed you yet, Amy Pond? [AMY] Seven. [DOCTOR] Seven? [AMY] Sorry, what? [DOCTOR] You said seven. [AMY] No. I didn't. [RIVER] Yes. you did. [OCTAVIAN] Doctor, there's an exit, far end of the ship, into thePrimary Flight Deck. [DOCTOR] Oh, good. That's where we need to go. [OCTAVIAN] Plotting a safe path now. [DOCTOR] Quick as you like. [BOB [OC]] Doctor? Excuse me? Hello, Doctor? Angel Bob here, sir. [DOCTOR] Ah. There you are, Angel Bob. How's life? Sorry, bad subject. [BOB [OC]] The Angels are wondering what you hope to achieve. [DOCTOR] Achieve? We're not achieving anything. We're just hanging. It'snice in here. Consoles, comfy chairs, a forest. How's things with you? [BOB [OC]] The Angels are feasting, sir. Soon we will be able to absorbenough power to consume this vessel, this world. and all the stars andworlds beyond. [DOCTOR] Well, we've got comfy chairs. Did I mention? [BOB [OC]] We have no need of comfy chairs. [DOCTOR] I made him say comfy chairs. [AMY] Six. [DOCTOR] Okay, Bob, enough chat. Here's what I want to know. What haveyou done to Amy? [BOB [OC]] There is something in her eye. [DOCTOR] What's in her eye? [BOB [OC]] We are. [AMY] What's he talking about? Doctor, I'm five. I mean, five. Fine! I'mfine. [RIVER] You're counting. [AMY] Counting? [AMY] Why? [DOCTOR] I don't know. [AMY] Well, counting down to what? [DOCTOR] I don't know. [BOB [OC]] We shall take her. We shall take all of you. We shall havedominion over all time and space. [DOCTOR] Get a life, Bob. Oops, sorry again. There's power on this ship,but nowhere near that much. [BOB [OC]] With respect, sir, there's more power on this ship than youyet understand. [RIVER] What's that? Dear God, what is it? [OCTAVIAN] They're back. [BOB [OC]] It's hard to put in your terms, Doctor Song, but as best Iunderstand it, the Angels are laughing. [DOCTOR] Laughing? [BOB [OC]] Because you haven't noticed yet, sir. The Doctor in theTardis hasn't noticed. [OCTAVIAN] Doctor. [DOCTOR] No. Wait. There's something I've missed. [AMY] That's, that's, that's like the crack from my bedroom wall fromwhen I was a little girl. [DOCTOR] Yes. Two parts of space and time that should never havetouched. [OCTAVIAN] Okay, enough. We're moving out. [RIVER] Agreed. Doctor? [DOCTOR] Yeah, fine. [RIVER] What are you doing? [DOCTOR] Right with you. [RIVER] We're not leaving without you. [DOCTOR] Oh yes, you are. Bishop? [OCTAVIAN] Miss Pond, Doctor Song, now! [AMY] Doctor? [RIVER] Come on! [DOCTOR] So, what are you? Oh, that's bad. Ah, that's extremely very notgood. [DOCTOR] Do not blink. [DOCTOR] Argh! --------------------------------------- (Forest) [RIVER] Amy? Amy, what's wrong? --------------------------------------- (Secondary Flight Deck) [DOCTOR] Why am I not dead then? [DOCTOR] Good, and not so good. Oh, this isn't even a little bit good. Imean, is that it? Is that the power that brought you here? That's pureTime Energy. You can't feed on that. That's now power, that's the fireat the end of the universe. I'll tell you something else. [DOCTOR] Never let me talk! --------------------------------------- (Forest) [RIVER] Amy, what's wrong? [AMY] Four. [RIVER] Med scanner, now. [OCTAVIAN] Doctor Song, we can't stay here. We've got to keep moving. [RIVER] We wait for the Doctor. [OCTAVIAN] Our mission is to make this wreckage safe and neutralise theAngels. Until that is achieved [RIVER] Father Octavian, when the Doctor's in the room, your one andonly mission is to keep him alive long enough to get everyone elsehome. And trust me, it's not easy. Now, if he's dead back there, I'llnever forgive myself. And if he's alive, I'll never forgive him. And,Doctor, you're standing right behind me, aren't you? [DOCTOR] Oh, yeah. [RIVER] I hate you. [DOCTOR] You don't. Bishop, the Angels are in the forest. [OCTAVIAN] We need visual contact on every line of approach. [RIVER] How did you get past them? [DOCTOR] I found a crack in the wall and told them it was the end of theuniverse. [AMY] What was it? [DOCTOR] The end of the universe. Let's have a look, then. [AMY] So, what's wrong with me? [RIVER] Nothing. You're fine. [DOCTOR] Everything. You're dying. [RIVER] Doctor! [DOCTOR] Yes, you're right. If we lie to her, she'll get all better.Right. Amy, Amy, Amy. What's the matter with Amelia? Something's in hereye. What does that mean? Does it mean anything? [AMY] Doctor. [DOCTOR] Busy. [AMY] Scared. [DOCTOR] Course you're scared. You're dying. Shut up. [RIVER] Okay, let him think. [DOCTOR] What happened? She stared at the Angel. She looked into theeyes of an Angel for too long [MARCO] Sir! Angel incoming. [PHILLIP] And here. [OCTAVIAN] Keep visual contact. Do not let it move. [DOCTOR] Come on, come on, come on. Wakey, wakey. She watched an Angelclimb out of the screen. She stared at the Angel and, and [AMY] The image of an Angel is an Angel. [DOCTOR] A living mental image in a living human mind. But we stare atthem to stop them getting closer. We don't even blink, and that isexactly what they want. Because as long as our eyes are open, they canclimb inside. There's an Angel in her mind. [AMY] Three. Doctor, it's coming. I can feel it. I'm going to die. [DOCTOR] Please just shut up. I'm thinking. Now, counting. What's thatabout? Bob, why are they making her count? [BOB [OC]] To make her afraid, sir. [DOCTOR] Okay, but why? What for? [BOB [OC]] For fun, sir. [AMY] Doctor, what's happening to me? Explain. [DOCTOR] Inside your head, in the vision centres of your brain, there'san Angel. It's like there's a screen, a virtual screen inside your mindand the Angel is climbing out of it, and it's coming to shut you off. [AMY] Then what I do? [DOCTOR] If it was a real screen, what would we do? We'd pull the plug.We'd kill the power. But we can't just knock her out, the Angel wouldjust take over. [RIVER] Then what? Quickly. [DOCTOR] We've got to shut down the vision centres of her brain. We'vegot to pull the plug. Starve the Angel. [RIVER] Doctor, she's got seconds. [DOCTOR] How would you starve your lungs? [RIVER] I'd stop breathing. [DOCTOR] Amy, close your eyes. [AMY] No. No, I don't want to. [DOCTOR] Good, because that's not you, that's the Angel inside you. It'safraid. Do it. Close your eyes. [RIVER] She's normalising. Oh, you did it. You did it. [PHILLIP] Sir? Two more incoming. [PEDRO] Three more over here. [RIVER] Still weak. Dangerous to move her. [AMY] So, can I open my eyes now? [DOCTOR] Amy, listen to me. If you open your eyes now for more than asecond, you will die. The Angel is still inside you. We haven't stoppedit, we've just sort of paused it. You've used up your countdown. Youcannot open your eyes. [OCTAVIAN] Doctor, we're too exposed here. We have to move on. [DOCTOR] We're too exposed everywhere. And Amy can't move. And anyway,that's not the plan. [RIVER] There's a plan? [DOCTOR] I don't know yet. I haven't finished talking. Right! Father,you and your Clerics, you're going to stay here, look after Amy. Ifanything happens to her, I'll hold every single one of you personallyresponsible, twice. River, you and me, we're going to find the PrimaryFlight Deck which is [DOCTOR] A quarter of a mile straight ahead, and from there we're goingto stabilise the wreckage, stop the Angels, and cure Amy. [RIVER] How? [DOCTOR] I'll do a thing. [RIVER] What thing? [DOCTOR] I don't know. It's a thing in progress. Respect the thing.Moving out! [OCTAVIAN] Doctor, I'm coming with you. My Clerics'll look after MissPond. These are my best men. They'd lay down their lives in herprotection. [DOCTOR] I don't need you. [OCTAVIAN] I don't care. Where Doctor Song goes, I go. [DOCTOR] What? You two engaged or something? [OCTAVIAN] Yes, in a manner of speaking. Marco, you're in charge till Iget back. [MARCO] Sir. [AMY] Doctor? Please, can't I come with you? [OCTAVIAN] You'd slow us down, Miss Pond. [AMY] I don't want to sound selfish, but you'd really speed me up. [DOCTOR] You'll be safer here. We can't protect you on the move. I'll beback for you soon as I can, I promise. [AMY] You always say that. [DOCTOR] I always come back. Good luck, everyone. Behave. Do not letthat girl open her eyes. And keep watching the forest. Stop thoseAngels advancing. Amy, later. River, going to need your computer! [AMY] Yeah. Later. [DOCTOR] Amy, you need to start trusting me. It's never been moreimportant. [AMY] But you don't always tell me the truth. [DOCTOR] If I always told you the truth, I wouldn't need you to trustme. [AMY] Doctor, the crack in my wall. How can it be here? [DOCTOR] I don't know yet, but I'm working it out. Now, listen. Rememberwhat I told you when you were seven? [AMY] What did you tell me? [DOCTOR] No. No, that's not the point. You have to remember. [AMY] Remember what? Doctor? Doctor? [RIVER] What's that? [DOCTOR] Er, readings from a crack in the wall. [RIVER] How can a crack in the wall be the end of the universe? [DOCTOR] Don't know, but here's what I think. One day there's going tobe a very big bang. So big every moment in history, past and future,will crack. [RIVER] Is that possible? How? [DOCTOR] How can you be engaged, in a manner of speaking? [RIVER] Well, sucker for a man in uniform. [OCTAVIAN] Doctor Song's in my personal custody. I released her from theStormcage Containment Facility four days ago and I am legallyresponsible for her until she's accomplished her mission and earned herpardon. Just so we understand each other. [DOCTOR] You were in Stormcage? [RIVER] What? What is that? [DOCTOR] The date. The date of the explosion, where the crack begins. [RIVER] And for those of us who can't read the base code of theuniverse? [DOCTOR] Amy's time. [AMY] So, what's happening? Anything happening out there? [MARCO] The Angels are still grouping. Are you getting this too? [PHILLIP] The trees? Yeah. [AMY] What's wrong with the trees? [PEDRO] Here too, sir. They're ripping the Treeborgs apart. [PHILLIP] And here. They're taking out the lights. [AMY] What is it? What's happening? Tell me. I can't see. [MARCO] It's the trees. ma'am. The trees are going out. --------------------------------------- (Outside the Primary Flight Deck) [OCTAVIAN] It doesn't open it from here, but it'sthe Primary Flight Deck. This has got to be a service hatch orsomething. [RIVER] Hurry up and open it. Time's running out. [DOCTOR] What? What did you say? Time's running out, is that what yousaid? [RIVER] Yeah. I just meant [DOCTOR] I know what you meant. Hush. But what if it could? [RIVER] What if what could? [DOCTOR] Time. What if time could run out? [OCTAVIAN] Got it. --------------------------------------- (Forest) [PHILLIP] Angels advancing, sir. [PEDRO] Over here again. [MARCO] Weapons primed. Combat distance five feet. Wait for it. [AMY] What is it? What's happening? Just tell me! [MARCO] Keep your position and, ma'am, keep your eyes shut. Wait. [MARCO] The ship's not on fire. is it? [PEDRO] It can't be. the compressors would have taken care of it. Marco,the Angels have gone. Where'd they go? [AMY] What, the Angels? [PHILLIP] This side's clear too, sir. [AMY] The Angels have gone? [MARCO] There's still movement out there, but away from us now. It'slike they're running. [AMY] Running from what? [MARCO] Phillip, Crispin, need to get a closer look at that. [AMY] What are you all looking at? What's there? --------------------------------------- (Outside the Primary Flight Deck) [DOCTOR] Cracks. Cracks in time. Time running out.No, couldn't be. Couldn't be. But how is a duck pond a duck pond ifthere aren't any ducks? And she didn't recognise the Daleks. Okay, timecan shift. Time can change. Time can be rewritten. Ah. Oh! --------------------------------------- (Forest) [MARCO] It's like, I don't know, a curtain ofenergy, sort of shifting. Makes you feel weird. Sick. [AMY] And you think it scared the Angels? [PEDRO] What could scare those things? [MARCO] What are you doing? [AMY] Point me at the light. [MARCO] You can't open your eyes. [AMY] I can't open them for more than a second, that's what the Doctorsaid. Still got a bit of countdown left. [MARCO] Ma'am. you can't. [AMY] I need to see it. Am I looking the right way? I have to be quick. [MARCO] Very quick. [AMY] Okay. [AMY] It's the same shape. It's the crack in my wall. [MARCO] Close your eyes, now. [AMY] It's following me! How can it be following me? [MARCO] Are you okay? [AMY] Yeah. It was the same shape. [PEDRO] Marco, you want me to get a closer look at that? [MARCO] Go for it. Don't get too close. [AMY] Hang on. What about the other two? Why not just wait until they'reback? [MARCO] What other two? [AMY] The ones you sent before. [MARCO] I didn't send anyone before. [AMY] You did, I heard you. Crispin and Phillip. [MARCO] Crispin and who? --------------------------------------- (Outside the Primary Flight Deck) [OCTAVIAN] Doctor Song, get through, now. Doctor?Doctor. [DOCTOR] Time can be unwritten. --------------------------------------- (Forest) [MARCO] Amy, there never was a Crispin or a Phillipon this mission, I promise you. [AMY] No, I heard you. Before you sent Pedro, you sent Crispin andPhillip, and now you can't even remember them. Something happened. Idon't know what, and you don't even remember. [MARCO] Pedro? [AMY] Yeah, before you sent Pedro. [MARCO] Who's Pedro? --------------------------------------- (Outside the Primary Flight Deck) [DOCTOR] It's been happening all around me and Ihaven't even noticed. [OCTAVIAN] Doctor, we have to move. [DOCTOR] The CyberKing. A giant Cyberman walks over all of VictorianLondon and no one remembers. [OCTAVIAN] We have to move it. The Angels could be here any second. [DOCTOR] Never mind the Angels. There's worse here than Angels. [OCTAVIAN] I beg to differ, sir. [DOCTOR] Let him go. [OCTAVIAN] Well, it can't let me go, sir, can it? Not while you'relooking at it. [DOCTOR] I can't stop looking at it, it'll kill you. [OCTAVIAN] It's going to kill me anyway. Think it through. There's noway out of this. You have to leave me. [DOCTOR] Can't you wriggle out? [OCTAVIAN] No, it's too tight. You have to leave me, sir. There'snothing you can do. --------------------------------------- (Forest) [AMY] Something's happening. Pedro was here a secondago and now you can't even remember him. [MARCO] There never was a Pedro. There's only ever been the two of ushere. [AMY] No, there were five of us. Why can't you remember? [MARCO] Listen. Listen. I need to get a closer look at that light,whatever it is. Don't worry, I won't get too close. [AMY] No. No, you can't. You mustn't. [MARCO] Here. Spare communicator. I'll stay in touch the whole time. [AMY] You won't, because if you go back there what happened to theothers will happen to you. [MARCO] There weren't any others. [AMY] There won't be any you if you go back there. [MARCO] Two minutes. I promise. [AMY] Please, just listen to me! --------------------------------------- (Outside the Primary Flight Deck) [OCTAVIAN] Sir, there's nothing you can do. [DOCTOR] You're dead if I leave you. [OCTAVIAN] Yes. Yes, I'm dead. And before you go [DOCTOR] I'm not going. [OCTAVIAN] Listen to me, it's important. You can't trust her. [DOCTOR] Trust who? [OCTAVIAN] River Song. You think you know her, but you don't. You don'tunderstand who or what she is. [DOCTOR] Then tell me. [OCTAVIAN] I've told you more than I should. Now please, you have to go.It's your duty to your friends. [DOCTOR] Just tell me why she was in Stormcage? [OCTAVIAN] She killed a man. A good man. A hero to many. [DOCTOR] Who? [OCTAVIAN] You don't want to know, sir. You really don't. [DOCTOR] Who did she kill? [OCTAVIAN] Sir, the Angels are coming. You have to leave me. [DOCTOR] You'll die. [OCTAVIAN] I will die in the knowledge that my courage did not desert meat the end. For that I thank God, and bless the path that takes you tosafety. [DOCTOR] I wish I'd known you better. [OCTAVIAN] I think, sir, you know me at my best. [DOCTOR] Ready? [OCTAVIAN] Content. --------------------------------------- (Primary Flight Deck) [RIVER] There's a teleport. If I can get it to work.we can beam the others here. Where's Octavian? [DOCTOR] Octavian's dead. So is that teleport. You're wasting your time.I'm going to need your communicator. --------------------------------------- (Forest) [AMY] Hello? Are you there? Hello? Hello? [MARCO [OC]] I'm here. I'm fine. Quite close to it now. [AMY] Then come back. Come back now, please. [MARCO [OC]] It's weird looking at it. It feels really [AMY] Really what? Hello? Really what? Hello? Hello? Hello? Please sayyou're there. Hello? Hello? [DOCTOR [OC]] Amy? Amy? Is that you? --------------------------------------- (Primary Flight Deck) [AMY [OC]] Doctor? [DOCTOR] Where are you? Are the Clerics with you? [AMY [OC]] They've gone. --------------------------------------- (Forest) [AMY] There was a light and they walked into thelight. Doctor, they didn't even remember each other. --------------------------------------- (Primary Flight Deck) [DOCTOR] No, they wouldn't. [RIVER] What is that light? [DOCTOR] Time running out. Amy, I'm sorry, I made a mistake. I shouldnever have left you there. --------------------------------------- (Forest) [AMY] Well, what do I do now? --------------------------------------- (Primary Flight Deck) [DOCTOR] You come to us. The Primary Flight Deck,the other end of the forest. --------------------------------------- (Forest) [AMY] I can't see. I can't open my eyes. --------------------------------------- (Primary Flight Deck) [DOCTOR] Turn on the spot. [AMY [OC]] Sorry, what? [DOCTOR] Just do it. Turn on the spot. --------------------------------------- (Forest) [DOCTOR [OC]] When the communicator sounds like myscrewdriver, that means you're facing the right way. Follow the sound.You have to start moving now. There's Time Energy --------------------------------------- (Primary Flight Deck) [DOCTOR] Spilling out of that crack, and you have tostay ahead of it. --------------------------------------- (Forest) [AMY] But the Angels, they're everywhere. --------------------------------------- (Primary Flight Deck) [DOCTOR] I'm sorry, I really am, but the Angels canonly kill you. --------------------------------------- (Forest) [AMY] What does the Time Energy do? --------------------------------------- (Primary Flight Deck) [DOCTOR] Just keep moving! --------------------------------------- (Forest) [AMY] Tell me. --------------------------------------- (Primary Flight Deck) [DOCTOR] If the Time Energy catches up with you,you'll never have been born. It will erase every moment --------------------------------------- (Forest) [DOCTOR [OC]] Of your existence. You will never havelived at all. --------------------------------------- (Primary Flight Deck) [DOCTOR] Now, keep your eyes shut and keep moving. [RIVER] It's never going to work. [DOCTOR] What else have you got! River! Tell me! [RIVER] What's that? [DOCTOR] The Angels running from the fire. They came here to feed on theTime Energy, now it's going to feed on them. Amy, listen to me. --------------------------------------- (Forest) [DOCTOR [OC]] I'm sending a bit of software to yourcommunicator. It's a proximity detector. it'll beep if there'ssomething in your way. You just manoeuvre till the beeping stops. --------------------------------------- (Primary Flight Deck) [DOCTOR] Because, Amy, this is important. --------------------------------------- (Forest) [DOCTOR [OC]] The forest is full of Angels. --------------------------------------- (Primary Flight Deck) [DOCTOR] You're going to have to walk like you cansee. --------------------------------------- (Forest) [AMY] Well, what do you mean? [DOCTOR [OC]] Look, just keep moving. --------------------------------------- (Primary Flight Deck) [RIVER] That Time Energy, what's it going to do? [DOCTOR] Er, keep eating. [RIVER] How do we stop it? [DOCTOR] Feed it. [RIVER] Feed it what? [DOCTOR] A big, complicated space time event should shut it up for awhile. [RIVER] Like what, for instance? [DOCTOR] Like me, for instance! --------------------------------------- (Forest) [AMY] What's that? --------------------------------------- (Primary Flight Deck) [DOCTOR] It's a warning. There are Angels round younow. --------------------------------------- (Forest) [DOCTOR [OC]] Amy, listen to me. This is going to behard but I know --------------------------------------- (Primary Flight Deck) [DOCTOR] You can do it. The Angels are scared --------------------------------------- (Forest) [DOCTOR [OC]] And running, and right now they're notthat interested in you. They'll assume you can see them and theirinstincts will kick in. All you've got to do is walk like you can see. --------------------------------------- (Primary Flight Deck) [DOCTOR] Just don't open your eyes. Walk like youcan see. You're not moving. You have to do this. Now. You have to dothis! --------------------------------------- (Forest) [AMY] Doctor? I can't find the communicator. I dropped it. I can't findit, Doctor. Doctor. [AMY] Doctor. Doctor! [AMY] Doctor. --------------------------------------- (Primary Flight Deck) [RIVER] Don't open your eyes. You're on the Flight Deck. The Doctor'shere. I teleported you. See? Told you I could get it working. [DOCTOR] River Song, I could bloody kiss you. [RIVER] Ah well, maybe when you're older. [RIVER] What's that? [DOCTOR] The Angels are draining the last of the ship's power, whichmeans the shield's going to release. [DOCTOR] Angel Bob, I presume. [BOB [OC]] The Time Field is coming. It will destroy our reality. [DOCTOR] Yeah, and look at you all, running away. What can I do for you? [BOB [OC]] There is a rupture in time. The Angels calculate that if youthrow yourself into it, it will close, and they will be saved. [DOCTOR] Yeah, yeah, yeah. Could do, could do that. But why? [BOB [OC]] Your friends will also be saved. [DOCTOR] Well, there is that. [RIVER] I've travelled in time. I'm a complicated space time event too.Throw me in. [DOCTOR] Oh, be serious. Compared to me, these Angels are morecomplicated than you, and it would take every one of them to amount tome, so get a grip. [RIVER] Doctor, I can't let you do this. [DOCTOR] No, seriously, get a grip. [RIVER] You're not going to die here! [DOCTOR] No, I mean it. River, Amy, get a grip. [RIVER] Oh, you genius. [BOB [OC]] Sir, the Angels need you to sacrifice yourself now. [DOCTOR] Thing is, Bob, the Angels are draining all the power from thisship. Every last bit of it. And you know what? I think they'veforgotten where they're standing. I think they've forgotten the gravityof the situation. Or to put it another way, Angels. [RIVER] (to Amy) You hold on tight and don't you let go for anything. [DOCTOR] Night, night. --------------------------------------- (Beach) [AMY] Ah. Bruised everywhere. [DOCTOR] Me too. [AMY] You didn't have to climb out with your eyes shut. [DOCTOR] Neither did you. I kept saying. The Angels all fell into theTime Field. The Angel in your memory never existed. It can't harm younow. [AMY] Then why do I remember it at all? Those guys on the ship didn'tremember each other. [DOCTOR] You're a time traveller now. Amy. It changes the way you seethe universe, forever. Good, isn't it? [AMY] And the crack, is that gone too? [DOCTOR] Yeah, for now. But the explosion that caused it is stillhappening. Somewhere out there, somewhere in time. [RIVER] You, me, handcuffs. Must it always end this way? [DOCTOR] What now? [RIVER] The prison ship's in orbit. They'll beam me up any second. Imight have done enough to earn a pardon this time. We'll see. [DOCTOR] Octavian said you killed a man. [RIVER] Yes, I did. [DOCTOR] A good man. [RIVER] A very good man. The best man I've ever known. [DOCTOR] Who? [RIVER] It's a long story. Doctor. It can't be told, it has to be lived.No sneak previews. Well, except for this one. You'll see me again quitesoon, when the Pandorica opens. [DOCTOR] The Pandorica. Ha! That's a fairy tale. [RIVER] Doctor, aren't we all? I'll see you there. [DOCTOR] I look forward to it. [RIVER] I remember it well. [AMY] Bye, River. [RIVER] See you, Amy. Oh, I think that's my ride. [DOCTOR] Can I trust you. River Song? [RIVER] If you like. Ha, but where's the fun in that? [AMY] What are you thinking? [DOCTOR] Time can be rewritten. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [AMY] I want to go home. [DOCTOR] Okay. [AMY] No, not like that. I just, I just want to show you something.You're running from River. I'm running too. --------------------------------------- (Amy's bedroom) [DOCTOR] Well. [AMY] Yeah. [DOCTOR] Blimey. [AMY] I know. This is the same night we left, yeah? [DOCTOR] We've been gone five minutes. [AMY] I'm getting married in the morning. [DOCTOR] Why did you leave it here? [AMY] Why did I leave my engagement ring when I ran away with a strangeman the night before my wedding? [DOCTOR] Yeah. [AMY] Hmm. You really are an alien, aren't you. [DOCTOR] Who's the lucky fellow? [AMY] You met him. [DOCTOR] Ah, the good looking one. Or the other one? [AMY] The other one. [DOCTOR] Well, he was good too. [AMY] Thanks. So, do you comfort a lot of people on the night beforetheir wedding? [DOCTOR] Why would you need comforting? [AMY] I nearly died. I was alone in the dark, and I nearly died. And itmade me think. [DOCTOR] Well, yes, natural. I think sometimes. Well, lots of times. [AMY] About what I want. About who I want. You know what I mean? [DOCTOR] Yeah. No. [AMY] About who I want. [DOCTOR] Oh right, yeah. No, still not getting it. [AMY] Doctor. In a word. In one very simple word even you canunderstand. [DOCTOR] No! You're getting married in the morning! [AMY] Well, the morning's a long time away. What are we going to doabout that? [DOCTOR] Amy, listen to me. I am nine hundred and seven years old. Doyou understand what that means? [AMY] It's been a while? [DOCTOR] Yeah. No, no, no. I'm nine hundred and seven, and look at me. Idon't get older, I just change. You get older, I don't, and this can'tever work. [AMY] Oh, you are sweet. Doctor. But I really wasn't suggesting anythingquite so long term. [DOCTOR] But you're human. You're Amy. You're getting married in themorning. In the morning. [AMY] Doctor? [DOCTOR] It's you. It's all about you. Everything. It's about you. [AMY] Hold that thought. [DOCTOR] Amy Pond. Mad, impossible, Amy Pond. I don't know why, I haveno idea, but quite possibly the single most important thing in thehistory of the universe is that I get you sorted out right now. [AMY] That's what I've been trying to tell you. [DOCTOR] Come on. [AMY] Doctor. [RIVER [OC]] And for those of us who can't read the base code of theuniverse? [DOCTOR [OC]] Amy's time.

Doctor Who (8 May, 2010; Eleventh Doctor) - The Vampires of Venice [GUIDO] Signora, your school offers a chance for betterment, escape. Mydaughter. Isabella is seventeen now, but what prospects are there forthe daughter of a boat builder? There's no future for us. No future butyou. [ROSANNA] I am moved by your concern for your daughter. I believeprotecting the future of one's own is a sacred duty. [GUIDO] Signora, she is my world. [ROSANNA] Then we will take your world. [GUIDO] I knew it. [ROSANNA] Say goodbye to your daughter. [GUIDO] Now, signora? [ROSANNA] Why wait? Time ticks. [GUIDO] Be brave, my girl. Make me proud. [ROSANNA] Step into the light, my dear. That's it. [ROSANNA] What say you, Francesco? Do you like her? [FRANCESCO] Oh, I do, Mother. I do. --------------------------------------- (Pub) [RORY] Hey! It's me. Hello. How are you? --------------------------------------- (Amy's bedroom) [RORY [OC]] The reason for this call is because I haven't told you forseven hours that I love you, which is a scandal, and even if we weren'tgetting married tomorrow, I'd ask you to marry me anyway. --------------------------------------- (Pub) [RORY] Yes, I would, because you are smashing. [RORY] Oh. Oh. Oh, blimey. I've. I've, er got to go. I'll see youtomorrow. [ALL] Out. Out. Out. [DOCTOR] Rory! That's a relief. I thought I'd burst out of the wrongcake, again. That reminds me, there's a girl standing outside in abikini. Could someone let her in and give her a jumper? Lucy? Lovelygirl. Diabetic. Now then, Rory. We need to talk about yourfiancée. She tried to kiss me. Tell you what, though. You're a luckyman. She's a great kisser. [DOCTOR] Funny how you can say something in your head and it soundsfine. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] Oh, the life out there, it dazzles. I mean, it blinds you tothe things that are important. I've seen it devour relationships andplans. It's meant to do that. Because for one person to have seen allthat, to taste the glory and then go back, it will tear you apart. So,I'm sending you somewhere, together. [AMY] Whoa. What, like a date? [DOCTOR] Anywhere you want. Any time you want. One condition. It has tobe amazing. The Moulin Rouge in 1890. The first Olympic Games. Think ofit as a wedding present, because it's either this or tokens. It's a lotto take in, isn't it? Tiny box, huge room inside. What's that about?Let me explain. [RORY] It's another dimension. [DOCTOR] It's basically another dimension. What? [RORY] After what happened with Prisoner Zero, I've been reading up onall the latest scientific theories. FTL travel, parallel universes. [DOCTOR] I like the bit when someone says it's bigger on the inside. Ialways look forward to that. [AMY] So, this date. I'm kind of done with running down corridors. Whatdo you think, Rory? [DOCTOR] How about somewhere romantic? --------------------------------------- (Market place) [DOCTOR] Venice. [DOCTOR] Venezia. La Serenissima. Impossible city. Preposterous city.Founded by refugees running from Attila the Hun. It was just acollection of little wooden huts in the middle of the marsh, but becameone of the most powerful cities in the world. Constantly being invaded,constantly flooding, constantly just beautiful. Ah, you got to loveVenice. So many people did. Byron, Napoleon, Casanova. Ooo, thatreminds me. 1580. That's all right. Casanova doesn't get born for ahundred and forty five years. Don't want to run into him. I owe him achicken. [RORY] You owe Casanova a chicken? [DOCTOR] Long story. We had a bet. [INSPECTOR] Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Papers, if you please. Proofof residency, current bill of medical inspection. [DOCTOR] There you go, fellow. All to your satisfaction, I think you'llfind. [INSPECTOR] I am so sorry, Your Holiness. I didn't realise. [DOCTOR] No worries. You were just doing your job. Sorry, what exactlyis your job? [INSPECTOR] Checking for aliens. Visitors from foreign lands what mightbring the plague with them. [INSPECTOR] Don't worry, Viscountess. No, we're under quarantine here.No one comes in, no one goes out, and all because of the grace andwisdom of our patron, Signora Rosanna Calvierri. [DOCTOR] How interesting. I heard the plague died out years ago. [INSPECTOR] Not out there. No, Signora Calvierri has seen it with herown eyes. Streets are piled high with bodies, she said. [DOCTOR] Did she now. [INSPECTOR] Oi. [RORY] Er, according to this, I am your eunuch. [AMY] Oh yeah. I'll explain later. --------------------------------------- (House of Calvierri entrance) [WOMAN] Veils down, girls. [GIRL [OC]] (sotto) The Calvierri girls. [WOMAN] What do you want? [GUIDO] Where's my Isabella? [WOMAN] What are you doing? Get away from there. [GUIDO] Isabella? Isabella, it's me. [WOMAN] Girls, come along. [FRANCESCO] She's gone. [GUIDO] Isabella! It's me! --------------------------------------- (By the canal) [AMY] What was that about? [GUIDO] Isabella! [AMY] I hate it when he does that. --------------------------------------- (Alleyway) [DOCTOR] Who are those girls? [GUIDO] I thought everyone knew about the Calvierri school. [DOCTOR] My first day here. It's okay. Parents do all sorts of things toget their children into good schools. They move house, they changereligion. So why are you trying to get her out? [GUIDO] Something happens in there. Something magical, something evil.My own daughter didn't recognise me. And the girl who pushed me away,her face, like an animal. [DOCTOR] I think it's time I met this Signora Calvierri. --------------------------------------- (Main hall) [FRANCESCO] Mother? [ROSANNA] Mummy's hydrating, Francesco. [FRANCESCO] And we never interrupt Mummy when she's hydrating. [FRANCESCO] We were accosted again. A man made a grab for one of thegirls. The longer we wait, the greater the risk of discovery. I mean,we've already converted more than enough. Surely it's time to introducethem to my brothers? [ROSANNA] I shall decide when we have enough. [FRANCESCO] If it's more you want, let me take the girls into the citytonight. We could [ROSANNA] We follow the plan. Let them hammer on our door. Beg to betaken. --------------------------------------- (Street) [RORY] And what have you been doing? [AMY] Well, running, and fighting. I've been scared. More scared than Ithought was [RORY] Did you miss me? [AMY] I knew I'd be coming back. [RORY] He was right. It blots out everything else. [AMY] Rory, this is our date. Let's not do this. Not now. [RORY] Huh. We are in Venice and it is 1580. [AMY] I know. [FLOWER GIRL] Flowers, signor? [RORY] What was that? [RORY] She'll be okay. Where are you? Amy, come back! --------------------------------------- (House of Calvierri entrance) [GUIDO] You have my daughter. Isabella! [GUARD] No, you're not coming in. Just stop there. Look, we've told you. [GUIDO] You have my daughter. Isabella! I demand you let me see mydaughter. [GUARD] Go away. [GUIDO] Isabella, it's me. It's your father. [GUARD] We will arrest you. [GUIDO] Isabella! [GUARD] Give it up, will you. Move off. --------------------------------------- (Cellar) [DOCTOR] Hello, handsome. [VAMPIRES] Who are you? [DOCTOR] How are you doing that? I am loving it. You're like Houdini,only five slightly scary girls, and he was shorter. Will be shorter.I'm rambling. [VAMPIRES] I'll ask you again, signor. Who are you? [DOCTOR] Why don't you check this out? [DOCTOR] Library card. Of course, it's with. He's. I need a spare. Pale,creepy girls who don't like sunlight and can't be seen. Ha. Am Ithinking what I think I'm thinking? But the city. Why shut down thecity? Unless [VAMPIRES] Leave now, signor, or we shall call for the Steward, if youare lucky. [DOCTOR] Ooo. [DOCTOR] Tell me the whole plan. (sotto) One day that will work. Listen,I would love to stay here. This whole thing. I'm thrilled. Oh, this isChristmas. --------------------------------------- (By the canal) [AMY] Doctor! [DOCTOR] I just met some vampires. [AMY] We just saw a vampire. [DOCTOR] And creepy girls and everything. [AMY] Vampires. [RORY] We think we just saw a vampire. [DOCTOR] Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know. Amy was just telling me. [AMY] Yeah, yeah. The Doctor actually went to their house. [RORY] Oh. Right. Well. [DOCTOR] Okay. So, first we need to get back in there somehow. [RORY] What? [AMY] How do we do that? [RORY] Back in where? [DOCTOR] Come and meet my new friend. --------------------------------------- (Guido's home) [GUIDO] As you saw, there's no clear way in. The House of Calvierri islike a fortress. But there's a tunnel underneath it, with a ladder andshaft that leads up into the house. I tried to get in once myself, butI hit a trapdoor. [AMY] You need someone on the inside. [DOCTOR] No. [AMY] You don't even know what I was going to say. [DOCTOR] Er, that we pretend you're an applicant for the school to getyou inside, and tonight you come down and open the trapdoor to let usin. [AMY] Oh. So you do know what I was going to say. [RORY] Are you insane? [AMY] We don't have another option. [RORY] He said no, Amy. Listen to him. [GUIDO] There is another option. [GUIDO] I work at the Arsenale. We build the warships for the navy. [DOCTOR] Gunpowder. Most people just nick stationery from where theywork. Look, I have a thing about guns and huge quantities of explosive. [GUIDO] What do you suggest, then? We wait until they turn her into ananimal? [AMY] I'll be there three, four hours, tops. [DOCTOR] No. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. It can't keephappening like this. This is how they go. But I have to know. We gotogether, say you're my daughter. [RORY] What? Don't listen to him. [AMY] Your daughter? You look about nine. [DOCTOR] Brother, then. [AMY] Too weird. Fiancé. [RORY] I'm not having him run around telling people he's your fiancé. [AMY] No. No, you're right. [RORY] Thank you. [AMY] I mean, they've already seen the Doctor. You should do it. [RORY] Me? [AMY] Yeah. You can be my brother. [RORY] Why is him being your brother weird, but with me, it's okay? [RORY] Actually, I thought you were her fiancé. [DOCTOR] Yeah, that's not helping. [RORY] This whole thing is mental. They're vampires, for God's sake. [DOCTOR] We hope. [AMY] So if they're not vampires? [DOCTOR] Makes you wonder what could be so bad it doesn't actually mindus thinking it's a vampire. --------------------------------------- (Throne room) [RORY] So, basically, both of our parents are dead from getting theplague. I'm a gondola driver, so money's a bit tight, so having mysister go to your school for special people would be brilliant. Cheers. [FRANCESCO] Have we met? [RORY] I've just got one of those faces. [FRANCESCO] I wasn't talking to you. [RORY] She's got the same face, which is because she's my sister. [ROSANNA] Carlo, explain yourself. Why have you brought me thisimbecile? [CARLO] Signora, they have references from His Majesty the King ofSweden. [ROSANNA] What? Let me see. [ROSANNA] Well, now I see what got my Steward so excited. What say you,Francesco? Do you like her? [FRANCESCO] Oh, I do, Mother. I do. [ROSANNA] Then we would be delighted to accept her. Say goodbye to yoursister. [AMY] Tell Uncle Doctor I'll see you both really soon, okay? I'll befine. [RORY] Amy. --------------------------------------- (Dormitory) [CARLO] There are clothes on the bed. Get changed and wait here. [AMY] Blimey. This is private education, then? [AMY] Hey. Hello, I'm Amy. What's your name? [ISABELLA] Isabella. [AMY] Listen, we're going to get you out of here, but I need you to tellme what's going on. What is this place? What are they doing? [ISABELLA] They er, they come at night. They gather around my bed, andthey take me to a room with this green light and a chair with straps,as if for a surgeon. [AMY] What happens in there? [ISABELLA] I wake up here. And the sunlight burns my skin like candlewax. --------------------------------------- (Gondola) [DOCTOR] She'll be fine. [RORY] You can promise me that, can you? [GUIDO] We're here. --------------------------------------- (Tunnel) [DOCTOR] Right. Okay, I'll go first. If anythinghappens to me, go back [RORY] What happened, between you and Amy? You said she kissed you. [DOCTOR] Now? You want to do this now? [RORY] I have a right to know. I'm getting married in four hundred andthirty years. [DOCTOR] She was frightened. I was frightened. But we survived, youknow, and the relief of it, and so she kissed me. [RORY] And you kissed her back. [DOCTOR] No. I kissed her mouth. [RORY] Funny. [DOCTOR] Rory. Rory, she kissed me because I was there. It would havebeen you. It should have been you. [RORY] Yeah, it should have been me. [DOCTOR] Exactly. That's why I brought you here. [DOCTOR] Can we go and see the vampires now, please? --------------------------------------- (Cellar) [CARLO] Control yourself, child. [AMY] Take your hands off me! [ROSANNA] Psychic paper. Did you really think that would work on me? --------------------------------------- (Courtyard) [DOCTOR] Push. Come on. There we are. Amy. Where's Amy? Amy? [RORY] I can't see a thing. Just as well I brought this, then. [DOCTOR] Ultraviolet. Portable sunlight. [RORY] Yours is bigger than mine. [DOCTOR] Let's not go there. --------------------------------------- (Cellar) [ROSANNA] Where are you from? Did you fall throughthe Chasm? [FRANCESCO] Mother this is pointless. Let's just start the process and [ROSANNA] Hold your tongue, Francesco. I need to know what this girl isdoing in a world of savages with psychic paper. Who are you with? Yousee, I scarcely believe your idiot brother sent you. What are you doingin my school? [AMY] Okay, I'll tell you. I'm from Ofsted. [ROSANNA] (laughs) Put her in the chair. [AMY] No! Take your hands off me! [ROSANNA] Oh, make sport of me, will you? Tease me as if I were yourdog? Well, this dog has a bite, girl. [AMY] Doctor! --------------------------------------- (Courtyard) [RORY] If we cancel now, we lose the deposit on thevillage hall. The salsa band. Oh. [RORY] What happened to them? [DOCTOR] They've had all the moisture taken out of them. --------------------------------------- (Cellar) [FRANCESCO] Mother, where you drink from her, may weshare? I'm so thirsty. [ROSANNA] Of course, darling. --------------------------------------- (Courtyard) [RORY] That's what vampires do, right? They drinkyour blood and replace it with their own. [DOCTOR] Yeah, except these people haven't just had their blood taken,but all the water in their entire bodies. [RORY] Why did they die? Why aren't they like the girls in the school? [DOCTOR] Maybe not everyone survives the process. [RORY] You know what's dangerous about you? It's not that you makepeople take risks, it's that you make them want to impress you. Youmake it so they don't want to let you down. You have no idea howdangerous you make people to themselves when you're around. [VAMPIRES] Who are you? [DOCTOR] We should run. Run. --------------------------------------- (Cellar) [ROSANNA] This is how it works. First, we drink youuntil you're dry. Then we fill you with our blood. It rages through youlike a fire, changing you, until one morning you awake and yourhumanity is a dream now faded. [FRANCESCO] Or you die. That can happen. [AMY] And if I survive? [ROSANNA] Then there are ten thousand husbands waiting for you in thewater. [AMY] Yeah, sorry, I'm kind of engaged. [DOCTOR [OC]] Oh! Rory, come on. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [DOCTOR] Cab for Amy Pond? --------------------------------------- (Cellar) [AMY] She bit me. --------------------------------------- (Corridor) [ROSANNA] This rescue plan. Not exactly watertight, is it? [DOCTOR] Ah ha! [AMY] Rory. [RORY] Amy. [ISABELLA] Quickly, through here. [ROSANNA] Seal the house. --------------------------------------- (Tunnel) [AMY] They're not vampires. [DOCTOR] What? [AMY] I saw them. I saw her. They're not vampires, they're aliens. [DOCTOR] Classic. [RORY] That's good news? What is wrong with you people? [DOCTOR] Come on, Rory. Move. [DOCTOR] Keep moving. Come on, guys. --------------------------------------- (Tunnel entrance) [ISABELLA] Quickly, quickly. Get out. Quick. Quick. [DOCTOR] Come on. Run. [ISABELLA] I can't. [AMY] Is he dead? [RORY] No, he's breathing. --------------------------------------- (Canalside) [CARLO] And so in memory of the children lost to the Silence, thetraitor is delivered to the arms of those she betrayed. [ISABELLA] Do you expect me to drown? I'm Venetian. I can swim. We canall swim. [ISABELLA] Something touched my leg! They're all around me. They bite! [ROSANNA] Now leave us. [FRANCESCO] Mother, change your form, or my brothers will think they arebeing fed twice today. [ROSANNA] Not long now. It's not long. --------------------------------------- (Throne room) [DOCTOR] Long way from Saturnyne, aren't you, Sister of the Water? [ROSANNA] No, let me guess. The owner of the psychic paper. Then I takeit you're a refugee, like me? [DOCTOR] I'll make you a deal. An answer for an answer. You're using aperception filter. It doesn't change your features, but manipulates thebrainwaves of the person looking at you. But seeing one of you for thefirst time in, say, a mirror, the brain doesn't know what to fill thegap with, so leaves it blank, hence no reflection. [ROSANNA] Your question? [DOCTOR] Why can we see your big teeth? [ROSANNA] Self preservation over rides the mirage. The subconsciousperceives the threat and tries to alert the conscious brain. [DOCTOR] Where's Isabella? [ROSANNA] My turn. Where are you from? [DOCTOR] Gallifrey. [ROSANNA] You should be in a museum. Or in a mausoleum. [DOCTOR] Why are you here? [ROSANNA] We ran from the Silence. Why are you here? [DOCTOR] Wedding present. The Silence? [ROSANNA] There were cracks. Some were tiny. Some were as big as thesky. Through some we saw worlds and people, and through others we sawSilence and the end of all things. We fled to an ocean like ours, andthe crack snapped shut behind us. Saturnyne was lost. [DOCTOR] So Earth is to become Saturnyne Mark Two? [ROSANNA] And you can help me. We can build a new society here, asothers have. What do you say? [DOCTOR] Where's Isabella? [ROSANNA] Isabella? [DOCTOR] The girl who saved my friend. [ROSANNA] Oh, deserters must be executed. Any general will tell youthat. I need an answer, Doctor. A partnership. Any which way youchoose. [DOCTOR] I don't think that's such a good idea, do you? I'm a Time Lord.You're a big fish. Think of the children. [ROSANNA] Carlo? You're right. We're nothing alike. I will bend theheavens to save my race, while you philosophise. [DOCTOR] This ends today. I will tear down the House of Calvierri, stoneby stone. Take your hands off me, Carlo. And you know why? You didn'tknow Isabella's name. You didn't know Isabella's name. [CARLO [OC]] Open the gates. --------------------------------------- (Main hall) [ROSANNA] Attend. Attend. The storm is coming. [ROSANNA] Argh! [FRANCESCO] Mummy, what's wrong with your perception filter? [ROSANNA] The idiot child must have damaged it when she kicked me. [ROSANNA] Now, assemble the girls. I have a job for them. --------------------------------------- (Guido's home) [DOCTOR] You're fine. Open wide. [DOCTOR] Argh. I need to think. Come on, brain. Think, think, think.Think. [AMY] If they're fish people, it explains why they hate the sun. [DOCTOR] Stop talking. Brain thinking. Hush. [RORY] It's the school thing I don't understand. [DOCTOR] Stop talking. Brain thinking. Hush. [GUIDO] I say we take the fight to them. [DOCTOR] Ah, ah, ah. [GUIDO] What? [DOCTOR] Ah. Her planet dies, so they flee through a crack in space andtime and end up here. Then she closes off the city and, one by one,starts changing the people into creatures like her to start a new genepool. Got it. But then what? They come from the sea. They can't survivefor ever on land, so what's she going to do? Unless she's going to dosomething to the environment to make the city habitable. She said, Ishall bend the heavens to save my race. Bend the heavens. Bend theheavens. She's going to sink Venice. [GUIDO] She's going to sink Venice? [DOCTOR] And repopulate it with the girls she's transformed. [RORY] You can't repopulate somewhere with just women. You need blokes. [AMY] She's got blokes. [DOCTOR] Where? [AMY] In the canal. She said to me there are ten thousand husbandswaiting in the water. [DOCTOR] Only the male offspring survived the journey here. She's gotten thousand children swimming around the canals, waiting for Mum tomake them some compatible girlfriends. Urgh. I mean, I've been around abit, but really that's, that's eugh. [DOCTOR] The people upstairs are very noisy. [GUIDO] There aren't any people upstairs. [DOCTOR] Do you know, I knew you were going to say that. Did anyone elseknow he was going to say that? [RORY] Is it the vampires? [DOCTOR] Like I said, they're not vampires. Fish from space. [RORY] Aren't we on the second floor? [GUIDO] What's happened to them? [DOCTOR] There's nothing left of them. They've been fully converted.Blimey, fish from space have never been so buxom. Okay, move. [RORY] Come on. --------------------------------------- (Staircase) [GUIDO] Give me the lamp. --------------------------------------- (Outside Guido's home) [DOCTOR] Go, go, go, guys. Keep moving. Go, go, go. [GUIDO] Stay away from the door, Doctor. [DOCTOR] No. Guido, What are you doing? --------------------------------------- (Staircase) [DOCTOR [OC]] I'm not leaving you. What are you doing? --------------------------------------- (Outside Guido's home) [DOCTOR] Argh, bolted. --------------------------------------- (Staircase) [GUIDO] Come on. That's it, keep coming. Come on. --------------------------------------- (Outside Guido's home) [DOCTOR] Guido! --------------------------------------- (Guido's home) [GUIDO] Come on. Come on. Come on. [GUIDO] We are Venetians! --------------------------------------- (Throne room) [ROSANNA] Right. To begin, let's fill the sky withfire. [ROSANNA] Yes. --------------------------------------- (Street) [MAN] In sight of the Lord, protect and keep us. --------------------------------------- (Outside Guido's home) [DOCTOR] Rosanna's initiating the final phase. [AMY] We need to stop her. Come on. [DOCTOR] No, no, no. Get back to the Tardis. [AMY] You can't stop her on your own. [DOCTOR] We don't discuss this. I tell you to do something, Amy, and youdo it. Huh? [RORY] Thank you. [DOCTOR] You're welcome. --------------------------------------- (By the canal) [AMY] Oh my God, what is going on? [RORY] The sky, it's like it's boiling. --------------------------------------- (Throne room) [ROSANNA] You're too late. Such determination, just to save one city.Hard to believe it's the same man that let an entire race turn tocinders and ash. Now you can watch as my people take their new kingdom. [DOCTOR] The girls have gone, Rosanna. [ROSANNA] You're lying. [DOCTOR] Shouldn't I be dead, hmm? Rosanna, please, help me. There aretwo hundred thousand people in this city. [ROSANNA] So save them. --------------------------------------- (Alleyway) [RORY] Amy, run. [RORY] This way, you freak. No! This way, you big, stupid, greatSpongeBob. The only thing I've seen uglier than you is your Mum. [FRANCESCO] Huh? [RORY] No. [FRANCESCO] Did you just say something about Mummy? [AMY] Careful. Careful. Okay, hit him. This way. bring him this way.Rory! [RORY] Oh. Oh, you stink of fish. [FRANCESCO] Well, I'm hardly going to smell of cheese and biscuits. [AMY] Hey, Mummy's boy! [RORY] Oh. [AMY] That was lucky. Why did you make the sign of the cross, younumpty? [RORY] Oh. Oh, right, I'm being reviewed now, am I? [AMY] Mmm. Now we go help the Doctor. [RORY] Righty-ho. --------------------------------------- (House of Calvierri entrance) [CARLO] Open the gate! [MAN] It's the Almighty. Look at the sky! --------------------------------------- (Throne room) [DOCTOR] Get out. I need to stabilise the storm. [RORY] We're not leaving you. [DOCTOR] Right, so one minute it's all you make people a danger tothemselves, and the next it's we're not leaving you. But if one of yougets squashed or blown up or eaten, who gets the [RORY] What was that? [DOCTOR] Nothing. Bit of an earthquake. [AMY] An earthquake? [DOCTOR] Manipulate the elements, it can trigger earthquakes. But don'tworry about them. [RORY] No? [DOCTOR] No. Worry about the tidal waves caused by the earthquake.Right, Rosanna's throne is the control hub but she's locked theprogramme, so, tear out every single wire and circuit in the throne. Gocrazy. Hit it with a stick, anything. We need it to shut down andre-route control to the secondary hub, which I'm guessing will also bethe generator. --------------------------------------- (Bell tower) [DOCTOR] Shut up. Shut up. That's better. [DOCTOR] Oh. Oh. Okay. --------------------------------------- (Outside the House of Calvierri) [RORY] There he is. Come on. [RORY] Come on. [AMY] Come on. [RORY] You did it! --------------------------------------- (Canalside) [DOCTOR] Rosanna! [ROSANNA] One city to save an entire species. Was that so much to ask? [DOCTOR] I told you, you can't go back and change time. You mourn, butyou live. I know, Rosanna. I did it. [ROSANNA] Tell me, Doctor. Can your conscience carry the weight ofanother dead race? Remember us. Dream of us. [DOCTOR] No! No! --------------------------------------- (Market place) [DOCTOR] Now then, what about you two, eh? Next stop Leadworth RegistryOffice. Maybe I can give you away. [RORY] It's fine. Drop me back where you found me. I'll just say you've [AMY] Stay. With us. Please. Just for a bit. I want you to stay. [DOCTOR] Fine with me. [RORY] Yeah? Yes, I would like that. [AMY] Nice one. I will pop the kettle on. Hey, look at this. Got myspaceship, got my boys. My work here is done. [RORY] Er, we are not her boys. [DOCTOR] Yeah, we are. [RORY] Yeah, we are. [DOCTOR] Rory, listen to that. [RORY] Er, what? All I can hear is silence. [ROSANNA [OC]] There were cracks. Through some we saw Silence and theend of all things.

Doctor Who (15 May, 2010; Eleventh Doctor) - Amy's Choice [AMY] Rory! --------------------------------------- (Outside the house) [AMY [OC]] Rory, it's starting! --------------------------------------- (Kitchen) [RORY] Ah. Okay, okay. [AMY] False alarm. [RORY] What? [AMY] Well, I don't know what it feels like. I've never had a babybefore. [AMY] No. [RORY] I know, leaf blowers. Use a rake. [AMY] No, it's. [AMY] I knew. I just knew. --------------------------------------- (Front garden) [DOCTOR] Rory! [RORY] Doctor. [DOCTOR] I've crushed your flowers. [RORY] Oh, Amy will kill you. [DOCTOR] Where is she? [RORY] She'll need a bit longer. [DOCTOR] Whenever you're ready, Amy. [DOCTOR] Oh, way-hey! You've swallowed a planet. [AMY] I'm pregnant. [DOCTOR] You're huge. [AMY] Yeah, I'm pregnant. [DOCTOR] Look at you. When worlds collide. [AMY] Doctor, I'm pregnant. [DOCTOR] Oh, look at you both. Five years later and you haven't changeda bit, apart from age and size. [AMY] Oh, it's good to see you, Doctor. [DOCTOR] Are you pregnant? --------------------------------------- (Leadworth) [DOCTOR] Ah, Leadworth. Vibrant as ever. [RORY] It's Upper Leadworth, actually. We've gone slightly upmarket. [DOCTOR] Where is everyone? [AMY] This is busy. Okay, it's quiet, but it's really restful andhealthy. Loads of people here live well into their nineties. [DOCTOR] Well, don't let that get you down. [AMY] It's not getting me down. [DOCTOR] Well, I wanted to see how you were. You know me, I don't justabandon people when they leave the Tardis. This Time Lord's for life.You don't get rid of your old pal the Doctor so easily. [AMY] Hmm. You came here by mistake, didn't you? [DOCTOR] Yeah, bit of a mistake. But look, what a result. Look at thisbench. What a nice bench. What will they think of next? So. What do youdo around hereto stave off the, you know [AMY] Boredom. [DOCTOR] Self harm. [RORY] We relax. [DOCTOR] (silent) Relax. [RORY] We live. We listen to the birds. [AMY] Yeah, see? Birds. Those are nice. [RORY] We didn't get time to listen to birdsong back in the Tardis days,did we? [DOCTOR] Oh blimey, my head's a bit. Ooo. Er, no, you're right, therewasn't a lot of time for birdsong back in the good old --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] Days. What? No, yes, sorry, what? Oh, you're okay. Oh, thankGod. I had a terrible nightmare about you two. That was scary. Don'task. You don't want to know. You're safe now. [AMY] Oh, okay. [DOCTOR] That's what counts. Blimey. Never dropped off like that before.Well, never, really. I'm getting on a bit, you see. Don't let the coolgear fool you. Now, what's wrong with the console? Red flashing lights.I bet they mean something. [RORY] Er, Doctor, I also had a kind of dream thing. [AMY] Yeah, so did I. [RORY] Not a nightmare, though, just, er, we were married. [AMY] Yeah. In a little village. [RORY] A sweet little village, and you were pregnant. [AMY] Yes, I was huge. I was a boat. [RORY] So you had the same dream, then? Exactly the same dream? [AMY] Are you calling me a boat? [RORY] And Doctor, you were visiting. [AMY] Yeah, yeah, you came to our cottage. [RORY] How can we have the same dream? It doesn't make any sense. [AMY] And you had a nightmare about us. What happened to us in thenightmare? [DOCTOR] It was a bit similar, in some aspects. [RORY] Which aspects? [DOCTOR] Well, all of them. [AMY] You had the same dream. [DOCTOR] Basically. [RORY] You said it was a nightmare. [DOCTOR] Did I say nightmare? No, more of a really good mare. Look, itdoesn't matter. We all had some kind of psychic episode. We probablyjumped a time track or something. Forget it. We're back to reality now. [AMY] Doctor? If we're back to reality, how come I can still hear birds? [RORY] Yeah, the same birds. The same ones we heard in the --------------------------------------- (Leadworth) [RORY] Dream. Oh! Sorry. Nodded off. Stupid. God, Imust be overdoing it. I was dreaming we were back on the Tardis. [RORY] You had the same dream, didn't you? [AMY] Weren't we just saying the same thing? [RORY] But we thought this was the dream, didn't we? [AMY] I think so. Why do dreams have to fade so quickly? [RORY] Doctor, what is going on? [AMY] Is this because of you? Is this some Time Lordy thing becauseyou've shown up again? [DOCTOR] Listen to me. Trust nothing. From now on, trust nothing yousee, hear or feel. [RORY] But we're awake now. [DOCTOR] Yeah. You thought you were awake on the Tardis, too. [AMY] But we're home. [DOCTOR] Yeah, you're home. You're also dreaming. Trouble is, Rory, Amy,which is which? Are we flashing forwards or backwards? Hold on tight.This is going be a tricky one. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] Oh, this is bad. I don't like this. [DOCTOR] Argh. Never use force. You just embarrass yourself. Unlessyou're cross, in which case, always use force. [AMY] Shall I run and get the manual? [DOCTOR] I threw it in a supernova. [AMY] You threw the manual in a supernova? Why? [DOCTOR] Because I disagreed with it. Stop talking to me when I'm cross. [RORY] Okay, but whatever's wrong with the Tardis, is that what causedus to dream about the future? [DOCTOR] If we were dreaming of the future. [AMY] Well, of course we were. We were in Leadworth. [RORY] Upper Leadworth. [DOCTOR] Yeah, and we could still be in Upper Leadworth, dreaming ofthis. Don't you get it? [AMY] No, okay? No, this is real. I'm definitely awake now. [DOCTOR] And you thought you were definitely awake when you were allelephanty. [AMY] Hey. Pregnant. [DOCTOR] And you could be giving birth right now. This could be thedream. I told you. Trust nothing we see or hear or feel. Look aroundyou. Examine everything. Look for all the details that don't ring true. [RORY] Okay, we're in a spaceship that's bigger on the inside than theoutside. [AMY] With a bow tie-wearing alien. [RORY] So maybe what rings true isn't so simple. [DOCTOR] Valid point. [DOCTOR] It's dead. We're in a dead time machine. [DOCTOR] Remember, this is real. But when we wake up in the other place,remember how real this feels. [AMY] It is real. I know it's real. --------------------------------------- (Leadworth) [AMY] Okay, this is the real one. Definitely this one. It's all solid. [DOCTOR] It felt solid in the Tardis too. You can't spot a dream whileyou're having it. [RORY] What are you doing? [DOCTOR] Looking for motion blur, pixilation. It could be a computersimulation. I don't think so, though. [HAMIT] Hello, Doctor. [RORY] Hi. [DOCTOR] Hello. You're a doctor. [RORY] Yeah. And unlike you, I've actually passed some exams. [DOCTOR] A doctor, not a nurse. Just like you've always dreamed. Howinteresting. [RORY] What is? [DOCTOR] Your dream wife, your dream job, probably your dream baby.Maybe this is your dream. [RORY] It's Amy's dream too. Isn't it, Amy? [AMY] Yes. Course it is, yeah. [DOCTOR] What's that? [AMY] Old people's home. [DOCTOR] You said everyone here lives to their nineties. There'ssomething here that doesn't make sense. Let's go and poke it with astick. [AMY] Oh. Can we not do the running thing? --------------------------------------- (Care home lounge) [WOMAN [OC]] Oh hello, Doctor Williams. [POGGIT] Hello, Rory love. [RORY] Hello, Mrs Poggit. How's your hip? [POGGIT] A bit stiff. [DOCTOR] Oh, easy, D-96 compound, plus. No, you don't have that yet.Forget that. [POGGIT] Who's your friend? A junior doctor? [RORY] Yes. [POGGIT] Can I borrow you? You're the size of my grandson. [DOCTOR] Slightly keen to move on. Freak psychic schism to sort out.You're incredibly old, aren't you? --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [AMY] Okay, I hate this, Doctor. Stop it, becausethis is definitely real. It's definitely this one. I keep saying that,don't I? [RORY] It's bloody cold. [DOCTOR] The heating's off. [RORY] The heating's off? [DOCTOR] Yeah. Put on a jumper. That's what I always do. [RORY] Er, yes. Sorry about Mrs Poggit. She's so lovely though. [DOCTOR] I wouldn't believe her nice old lady act if I were you. [AMY] What do you mean, act? [DOCTOR] Everything's off. Sensors, core power. We're drifting. Thescanner's down so we can't even see out. We could be anywhere. Someone,something, is overriding my controls. [DREAM LORD] Well, that took a while. Honestly, I'd heard such goodthings. Last of the Time Lords, the Oncoming Storm. Him in the bow tie. [DOCTOR] How did you get into my Tardis? What are you? [DREAM LORD] What shall we call me? Well, if you're the Time Lord, let'scall me the Dream Lord. [DOCTOR] Nice look. [DREAM LORD] This? No, I'm not convinced. Bow ties? [DREAM LORD] Interesting. I'd love to be impressed, but Dream Lord. It'sin the name, isn't it? Spooky. Not quite there. [DREAM LORD] And yet, very much here. [DOCTOR] I'll do the talking, thank you. Amy, want to take a guess atwhat that is? [AMY] Er, Dream Lord. He creates dreams. [DOCTOR] Dreams, delusions, cheap tricks. [DREAM LORD] And what about the gooseberry, here. Does he get a guess? [RORY] Er, listen, mate. If anyone's the gooseberry round here, it's theDoctor. [DREAM LORD] Well now, there's a delusion I'm not responsible for. [RORY] No, he is. Isn't he, Amy. [DREAM LORD] Oh, Amy, have to sort your men out. Choose, even. [AMY] I have chosen. Of course I've chosen. [AMY] It's you, stupid. [RORY] Oh, good. Thanks. [DREAM LORD] You can't fool me. I've seen your dreams. Some of themtwice. Amy. Blimey, I'd blush if I had a blood supply or a real face. [DOCTOR] Where did you pick up this cheap cabaret act? [DREAM LORD] Me? Oh, you're on shaky ground. [DOCTOR] Am I? [DREAM LORD] If you had any more tawdry quirks you could open up aTawdry Quirk Shop. The madcap vehicle, the cockamamie hair, the clothesdesigned by a first-year fashion student. I'm surprised you haven't gota little purple space dog just to ram home what an intergalactic wagyou are. Where was I? [RORY] You were [DREAM LORD] I know where I was. So, here's your challenge. Two worlds.Here, in the time machine, and there, in the village that time forgot. [DREAM LORD] Oh. Or are you waking up? --------------------------------------- (Care home lounge) [DREAM LORD] Oh, this is bad. This is very, very bad. Look at thisX-ray. Your brain is completely see-through. But then, I've always beenable to see through you, Doctor. [AMY] Always? What do you mean, always? [DREAM LORD] Now then, the prognosis is this. If you die in the dream,you wake up in reality. Healthy recovery in next to no time. Ask mewhat happens if you die in reality? [RORY] What happens? [DREAM LORD] You die, stupid. That's why it's called reality. [AMY] Have you met the Doctor before? Do you know him? Doctor, does he? [DREAM LORD] Now don't get jealous. He's been around, our boy. But nevermind that. You've got a world to choose. One reality was always toomuch for you, Doctor. Take two and call me in the morning. [RORY] Okay, I don't like him. [AMY] Who is he? [DOCTOR] I don't know. It's a big universe. [AMY] Why is he doing this? [DOCTOR] Maybe because he has no physical form. That gets you down aftera while, so he's taking it out on folk like us who can touch and eatand feel. [RORY] What does he mean, deadly danger, though? Nothing deadly hashappened here. I mean, a bit of natural wastage, obviously. [DOCTOR] They've all gone. They've all gone. --------------------------------------- (Leadworth) [WOMAN] Stop. You two, over there. Come along, where's the rest of you?Come on, come on. We're going up to the castle now. All of you, comeon. [RORY] Why would they leave? [AMY] And what did you mean about Mrs Poggit's nice old lady act? [DOCTOR] One of my tawdry quirks. Sniffing out things that aren't whatthey seem. So, come on, let's think. The mechanics of this realitysplit we're stuck in. Time asleep exactly matches time in our dreamworld, unlike in conventional dreams. [RORY] And we're all dreaming the same dream at the same time. [DOCTOR] Yes, sort of communal trance. Very rare, very complicated. I'msure there's a dream giveaway, a tell, but my mind isn't workingbecause this village is so dull! I'm slowing down, like you two have. [AMY] Ooo. Ow. Really. Ow! It's coming. [DOCTOR] Okay, you're a doctor, help her. [RORY] You're a doctor. [DOCTOR] It's okay, we're doctors. [RORY] What do we do? [AMY] Okay, it's not coming. [DOCTOR] What? [AMY] This is my life now and it just turned you white as a sheet, sodon't you call it dull again, ever. Okay? [DOCTOR] Sorry. [AMY] Yeah. --------------------------------------- (Playground) [DOCTOR] Now, we all know there's an elephant in the room. [AMY] I have to be this size, I'm having a baby. [DOCTOR] No, no. The hormones seem real, but no. Is nobody going tomention Rory's ponytail? You hold him down, I'll cut it off? [RORY] This from the man in the bow tie. [DOCTOR] Bow ties are cool. I don't know about you, but I wouldn't hireMrs Poggit as a babysitter. What's she doing? What does she want? [AMY] Oh, no. Here we go. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [AMY] It's really cold. Have you got any warmclothing? [DOCTOR] What does it matter if we're cold? We have to know what she isup to. Sorry, sorry. There should be some stuff down there. Have alook. [RORY] I want the other life. You know, where we're happy and settledand about to have a baby. [AMY] But don't you wonder, if that life is real, then why would we giveup all this? Why would anyone? [RORY] Because we're going to freeze to death? [AMY] The Doctor'll fix it. [RORY] Okay. Because we're going to get married? [AMY] We can still get married some day. [RORY] You don't want to any more. I thought you'd chosen me, not him. [AMY] You are always so insecure. [RORY] You ran off with another man. [AMY] Not in that way. [RORY] It was the night before our wedding. [AMY] We're in a time machine. It can be the night before our weddingfor as long as we want. [RORY] We have to grow up eventually. [AMY] Says who? [DOCTOR] Ah, Rory, wind. Amy, could you attach this to the monitor,please. [RORY] I was promised amazing worlds. Instead I get duff central heatingand a weird, kitcheny wind-up device. [DOCTOR] It's a generator. Get winding. [AMY] Not enough. [DOCTOR] Rory, wind. [RORY] Why is the Dream Lord picking on you? Why us? [AMY] Where are we? [DOCTOR] We're in trouble. [RORY] What is that? [DOCTOR] A star. A cold star. [DOCTOR] That's why we're freezing. It's not a heating malfunction.We're drifting towards a cold sun. There's our deadly danger for thisversion of reality. [AMY] So this must be the dream. There's no such thing as a cold star.Stars burn. [DOCTOR] So's this one. It's just burning cold. [RORY] Is that possible? [DOCTOR] I can't know everything. Why does everybody expect me to,always? [RORY] Okay, this is something you haven't seen before. So does thatmean this is the dream? [DOCTOR] I don't know, but there it is, and I'd say we've got aboutfourteen minutes until we crash into it. But that's not a problem. [RORY] Because you know how to get us out of this? [DOCTOR] Because we'll have frozen to death by then. [AMY] Oh, then what are we going to do? [DOCTOR] Stay calm. Don't get sucked in to it, because this just mightbe the battle that we have to lose. [RORY] Oh, this is so you, isn't it? [DOCTOR] What? [RORY] Huh, what? A weird new star, fourteen minutes left to live andonly one man to save the day, huh? I just wanted a nice village and afamily. [DREAM LORD] Oh dear, Doctor. Dissent in the ranks. There was an olddoctor from Gallifrey, who ended up throwing his life away. He let downhis friends and [DREAM LORD] Oh, no. We've run out of time. Don't spend too long there,or you'll catch your death here. --------------------------------------- (Ruined castle) [DOCTOR] Where have the children gone? [RORY] Don't know. Play time's probably over. [RORY] You see, this is the real one. I just feel it. Don't you feel it? [AMY] I feel it both places. [RORY] I feel it here. It's just so tranquil and relaxed. Nothing badcould ever happen here. [AMY] Not really me, though, is it? I mean, would I be happy settlingdown in a place with a pub, two shops and a really bad AmateurDramatics Society? That's why I got pregnant, so I don't have to seethem doing Oklahoma. Doctor, what are you doing? And what are thosepiles of dust? [DOCTOR] Play time's definitely over. [AMY] Oh, my God. [RORY] What happened to them? [DOCTOR] I think they did. --------------------------------------- (Playground) [AMY] They're just old people. [DOCTOR] No, they're very old people. Sorry, Rory, I don't think you'rewhat's been keeping them alive. [DREAM LORD] Hello, peasants. What's this, attack of the old people? Oh,that's ridiculous. This has got to be the dream, hasn't it? What do youthink, Amy? Let's all jump under a bus and wake up in the Tardis. Youfirst. [DOCTOR] Leave her alone. [DREAM LORD] Do that again. I love it when he does that. Tall dark hero.Leave her alone. [RORY] Just leave her. [DREAM LORD] Yes, you're not quite so impressive, but I know where yourheart lies, don't I, Amy Pond? [AMY] Shut up. Just shut up and leave me alone. [DREAM LORD] But listen. You're in there. Loves a redhead, the Doctor.Has he told you about Elizabeth the First? Well, she thought she wasthe first. [DOCTOR] Drop it. Drop all of it. I know who you are. [DREAM LORD] Course you don't. [DOCTOR] Course I do. No idea how you can be here, but there's only oneperson in the universe who hates me as much as you do. [DREAM LORD] Never mind me. Maybe you should worry about them. [RORY] Hi. Hello. [DOCTOR] Hello, we were wondering where you went. To get reinforcements,by the look of it. Are you all right? You look a bit tense. [RORY] Hello, Mister Nainby. [DOCTOR] Rory. [RORY] Mister Nainby ran the sweet shop. He used to slip me the odd freetoffee. [RORY] Did I not say thank you? [RORY] How did he do that? [DOCTOR] I suspect he's not himself. Don't get comfortable here. You mayhave to run, fast. [AMY] Can't we just talk to them? [AMY] There is an eye in her mouth. [DOCTOR] There's a whole creature inside her. Inside all of them.They've been there for years, living and waiting. [RORY] That is disgusting. They're not going to be peeping out ofanywhere else, are they? [DOCTOR] Run. Okay, leave them, leave them. Talk to me. Talk to me. Youare Eknodines. A proud, ancient race. you're better than this. [DOCTOR] Why are you hiding away here? Why aren't you at home? [POGGIT] We were driven from our planet by [DOCTOR] Planet by upstart neighbours. [NAINBY] So we've [DOCTOR] Been living here inside the bodies of old humans for years. Nowonder they live so long. You're keeping them alive. [POGGIT] We were humbled and destroyed. Now we will do the same toothers. [DOCTOR] Okay. Makes sense, I suppose. Credible enough. Could be real. [LAD] Morning. [DOCTOR] You need to leave this planet. --------------------------------------- (Outside the cottage) [AMY] Wait. Stop. [RORY] After all I've done for the over seventies in this village. [RORY] Okay, this is crazy. She loves me. I fixed her depression. She'sjust a little old lady. [AMY] Mrs Hamill, we don't understand. [RORY] I'll deal with this one, Chubs. Now [RORY] I can't hit her. [AMY] Tut. Whack her! --------------------------------------- (Cottage) [AMY] We just ran away. We just abandoned theDoctor. Don't ever call me Chubs again. We don't see him for years, andsomehow we don't really connect any more, and then, then he takes thebullet for us. [RORY] Hey, he'll be fine. You know the Doctor. He's Mister Cool. --------------------------------------- (Leadworth Butchers shop) [DREAM LORD] Oh, I love a good butcher's, don't you? We've got to usethese places or they'll shut down. Oh, but you're probably avegetarian, aren't you, you big flop-haired wuss. [DOCTOR] Oh, pipe down. I'm busy. [DREAM LORD] Maybe you need a little sleep. [DREAM LORD] Oh, wait a moment. If you fall asleep here, several dozenangry pensioners will destroy you with their horrible eye things. [DREAM LORD] Fingers in the ear. Brilliant. What's next, shouting boo?Come in, come in. [DREAM LORD] Yes, we've got lots at steak here this week. Lots at steak,get it? Are these jokes wasted on you? [DOCTOR] Wait, wait, stop. [DREAM LORD] Oh. Oh, I can't watch. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [AMY] Ah, it's colder. [DOCTOR] The three of us have to agree, now, which is the dream. [RORY] It's this, here. [AMY] He could be right. The science is all wrong here. Burning ice? [DOCTOR] No, no, no. Ice can burn. Sofas can read. It's a big universe.We have to agree which battle to lose. All of us, now. [AMY] Okay, which world do you think is real? [DOCTOR] This one. [RORY] No, the other one. [DOCTOR] Yeah, but are we disagreeing or competing? [AMY] Competing? Over what? Oh. [DOCTOR] Nine minutes till impact. [AMY] What temperature is it? [DOCTOR] Outside? Brrr. How many noughts have you got? Inside? I don'tknow but I can't feel my feet and other parts. [RORY] I think all my parts are basically fine. [DOCTOR] Stop competing. [RORY] Can't we call for help? [DOCTOR] Yeah, because the universe is really small and there's bound tobe someone nearby. [AMY] Put these on, both of you. [RORY] Oh, a poncho. The biggest crime against fashion since lederhosen. [AMY] Here we go. My boys. My poncho boys. If we're going to die, let'sdie looking like a Peruvian folk band. [RORY] We're not going to die. [DOCTOR] No, we're not, but our time's running out. If we fall asleephere we're in trouble. If we could divide up, then we'd have an activepresence in each world, but the Dream Lord is switching us between theworlds. Why? Why? what's the logic? [DREAM LORD] Good idea, veggie. Let's divide you three up, so I can havea little chat with our lovely companion. Maybe I'll keep her, and youcan have Pointy Nose to yourself for all eternity, should you manage toclamber aboard some sort of reality. [RORY] Can you hear that? [AMY] What? No. [DOCTOR] Amy, don't be scared. We'll be back. [AMY] Rory, Doctor, don't leave me. [DREAM LORD] Amy, we're going to have fun, aren't we? [AMY] No, please, not alone. --------------------------------------- (Cottage) [RORY] Sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. [RORY] Sorry. --------------------------------------- (Leadworth Butcher's shop) [DOCTOR] Okay, where is it? --------------------------------------- (Leadworth) [MAN] Oh help, somebody. [DOCTOR] Oh, you couldn't live near the shops, could you. [MAN] Help me! [DOCTOR] It's okay, it's only me. [MAN] Get in, get in, get in. Quickly, quickly, over here. Quickly. Getin. [DOCTOR] Come on, jump in. Quickly, get in now. Quickly. Hurry up. Arewe in? [DOCTOR] Come on, let's go. [MAN] Quickly, in here. [DOCTOR] All four, quick. [MAN] That's it. Clear. [DOCTOR] Everyone in. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DREAM LORD] Poor Amy. He always leaves you, doesn't he, alone in thedark. Never apologises. [AMY] He doesn't have to. [DREAM LORD] That's good, because he never will. And now he's left youwith me. Spooky old, not to be trusted me. Anything could happen. [AMY] Who are you, and what do you want? The Doctor knows you, but he'snot telling me who you are. And he always does. Takes him a whilesometimes, but he tells me. So you're something different. [DREAM LORD] Oh, is that who you think you are? The one he trusts? [AMY] Actually, yes. [DREAM LORD] The only girl in the universe to whom the Doctor tellseverything? [AMY] Yes. [DREAM LORD] So what's his name? Now, which one of these men would youreally choose? Look at them. You ran away with a handsome hero. Wouldyou really give him up for a bumbling country doctor who thinks theonly thing he needs to be interesting is a ponytail? [AMY] Stop it. [DREAM LORD] But maybe it's better than loving and losing the Doctor.Pick a world, and this nightmare will all be over. They'll listen toyou. It's you they're waiting for. Amy's men. Amy's choice. --------------------------------------- (Outside the church) [DOCTOR] Everybody, out, out, out. Into the church, that's right. Don'tanswer the door. --------------------------------------- (Camper van) [DREAM LORD] It's make your mind up time in both worlds. [DOCTOR] Fine. I need to find my friends. [DREAM LORD] Friends? Is that the right word for the people you acquire?Friends are people you stay in touch with. Your friends never see youagain once they've grown up. The old man prefers the company of theyoung, does he not? [DOCTOR] Okay. --------------------------------------- (Nursery) [AMY] How did I get up here? [RORY] I carried you. I'm afraid you may experience some bruising. [AMY] Where's the Doctor? [RORY] I don't know. I want to do something for you. [AMY] I was starting to like it. [DOCTOR] Sorry. I had to stop off at the butcher's. [RORY] What are we going to do? [DOCTOR] I don't know. I thought the freezing Tardis was real but nowI'm not so sure. [AMY] Oh! I think the baby's starting. [RORY] Honestly? [AMY] Would I make it up at a time like this? [RORY] Well, you do have a history of (gets a Look) being very lovely.Why are they so desperate to kill us? [DOCTOR] They're scared. Fear generates savagery. [AMY] Rory! [RORY] No, I'm not ready. [AMY] Stay. [RORY] Look after our baby. [AMY] No. No. Come back. Save him. You save everyone. You always do.It's what you do. [DOCTOR] Not always. I'm sorry. [AMY] Then what is the point of you?(Amy touches the pile of dust then gets up.) [AMY] This is the dream. Definitely this one. Now, if we die here, wewake up, yeah? [DOCTOR] Unless we just die. [AMY] Either way, this is my only chance of seeing him again. This isthe dream. [DOCTOR] How do you know? [AMY] Because if this is real life, I don't want it. I don't want it. --------------------------------------- (Outside the cottage) [AMY] Why aren't they attacking? [DOCTOR] Either because this is just a dream or because they know whatwe're about to do. [DOCTOR] Be very sure. This could be the real world. [AMY] It can't be. Rory isn't here. I didn't know. I didn't, I didn't, Ihonestly didn't, till right now. I just want him. [DOCTOR] Okay. Okay. --------------------------------------- (Camper van) [AMY] I love Rory, and I never told him. But nowhe's gone. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DREAM LORD] So, you chose this world. Well done. You got it right. Andwith only seconds left. Fair's fair. Let's warm you up. [DREAM LORD] I hope you've enjoyed your little fictions. It all came outof your imagination, so I'll leave you to ponder on that. I have beendefeated. I shall withdraw. Farewell. [RORY] Something happened. I. What happened to me? I. [RORY] Oh. Oh, right. This is good. I am liking this. Was it something Isaid? Could you tell what it was so I can use it in emergencies, andmaybe birthdays. [AMY] What are we doing now? [DOCTOR] Me, I'm going to blow up the Tardis. [RORY] What? [DOCTOR] Notice how helpful the Dream Lord was? Okay, there wasmisinformation, red herrings, malice, and I could have done without thelimerick. But he was always very keen to make us choose between dreamand reality. [AMY] What are you doing?. [RORY] Doctor, the Dream Lord conceded. This isn't a dream. [DOCTOR] Yes, it is. [AMY] Stop him. [DOCTOR] Star burning cold? Do me a favour. The Dream Lord has no powerover the real world. He was offering us a choice between two dreams. [AMY] How do you know that? [DOCTOR] Because I know who he is. [DOCTOR] Any questions? [AMY] Er, what's that? [DOCTOR] A speck of psychic pollen from the candle meadows of Karass donSlava. Must have been hanging around for ages. Fell in the time rotor,heated up and induced a dream state for all of us. [RORY] So that was the Dream Lord then? Those little specks. [DOCTOR] No, no. No. Sorry, wasn't it obvious? The Dream Lord was me.Psychic pollen. It's a mind parasite. It feeds on everything dark inyou, gives it a voice, turns it against you. I'm nine hundred andseven. It had a lot to go on. [AMY] But why didn't it feed on us, too? [DOCTOR] The darkness in you pair, it would've starved to death in aninstant. I choose my friends with great care. Otherwise, I'm stuck withmy own company, and you know how that works out. [AMY] But those things he said about you. You don't think any of that'strue? [DOCTOR] Amy, right now a question is about to occur to Rory. And seeingas the answer is about to change his life, I think you should give himyour full attention. [RORY] Yeah. Actually, yeah. [DOCTOR] There it is. [RORY] Because what I don't get is, you blew up the Tardis, that stoppedthat dream, but what stopped the Leadworth dream? [AMY] We crashed the camper van. [RORY] Oh, right. I don't remember that bit. [AMY] No, you weren't there. You were already [RORY] Already what? [AMY] Dead. You died in that dream. Mrs Poggit got you. [RORY] Okay. But how did you know it was a dream? Before you crashed thevan, how did you know you wouldn't just die? [AMY] I didn't. [RORY] Oh. [AMY] Yeah. [RORY] Oh. [AMY] Yeah, oh. [DOCTOR] So, well then, where now? Or should I just pop down to theswimming pool for a few lengths? [RORY] I don't know. Anywhere's good for me. I'm happy anywhere. It's upto Amy this time. Amy's choice.

Doctor Who (22 May, 2010; Eleventh Doctor) - The Hungry Earth [MO] But who is this creature with terrible claws, terrible teeth in histerrible jaws? Go on, your bit. He, he has. Go on. [ELLIOT] I can't do it, Dad. I can listen to books, anyway. [MO] I know it doesn't come easy, son, but you've got to keep at it. Allright? You're not on your own with this. [AMBROSE] Mo, you'll be late for your shift. [MO] Yeah, you're right. Sorry, El, got to go. Now, who loves you morethan me? [ELLIOT] No one. [AMBROSE] Stop saying that. --------------------------------------- (Control room) [COMPUTER] Approaching stage four target drillingdepth. Stage four target drill depth scheduled in five, four, three,two, one. Stage four target drill depth achieved. Drill depth nowtwenty one kilometres. [NASREEN] Hi. Nasreen here. Just to let you know we have just hit ournew target. [MACK] Twenty one kilometres, folks. Further than anyone's ever drilledinto the Earth. Thanks for your amazing work. Have a great weekend.Onwards and downwards. [NASREEN] How much further do you think we can we go, Mack? [MACK] Into the unknown. Exciting, isn't it? [NASREEN] Yeah. [MACK] Evening, Mo. [MO] Twenty one k? Whoo hoo. You wanted to grab all the glory before Icome on shift. Right, off you go. Get out. My gaff for the night. [MO] Brilliant. --------------------------------------- (Store room) [MO] That is mad. [MO] Oh, no. Please. --------------------------------------- (Graveyard) [DOCTOR] Behold, Rio. [AMY] Nah. [RORY] Not really getting the sunshine carnival vibe. [DOCTOR] No? Ooo, feel that, though. What's that? [DOCTOR] Ground feels strange. Just me. Wait. That's weird. [RORY] What's weird? [AMY] Doctor, stop trying to distract us. We're in the wrong place.Doctor, it's freezing and I've dressed for Rio. We are not stoppinghere. Doctor. You listening to me? It's a graveyard. You promised me abeach. [DOCTOR] Blue grass. Patches of it all around the graveyard. So, Earth,2020-ish, ten years in your future, wrong continent for Rio, I'lladmit, but it's not a massive overshoot. [AMY] Why are those people waving at us? [DOCTOR] Can't be. [AMY] Don't. [DOCTOR] It is. It's you two. [RORY] No, we're here. How can we be up there? [DOCTOR] Ten years in your future. Come to relive past glories, I'dimagine. Humans, you're so nostalgic. [AMY] We're still together in ten years? [RORY] No need to sound so surprised. [AMY] Hey, let's go and talk to them. We can say hi to future us. Howcool is that? [DOCTOR] Er, no, best not. Really best not. These things get complicatedvery quickly, and oh look. Big mining thing. Oh, I love a big miningthing. See, way better than Rio. Rio doesn't have a big mining thing. [AMY] We're not going to have a look, are we? [DOCTOR] Let's go and have a look. Come on, you two, let's see whatthey're doing. [RORY] If he can't get us to Rio, how's he ever going to get us backhome? [AMY] Did you not see over there? It all works out fine. [RORY] After everything we've seen, we just drop back into our oldlives? The nurse and the kissogram? [AMY] I guess. He's getting away. [RORY] Hang on. What are you doing with that? [AMY] Engagement ring. I thought you liked me wearing it. [RORY] Amy, you could lose it. Cost a lot of money, that. [AMY] Hmm. Spoilsport. [RORY] Go on. I'll catch you both up. [AMY] Doctor. --------------------------------------- (Store room) [MACK] The drill's shut down. There's no sign of Mo.Nobody's been in or out of the perimeter between last night and now.What's that? That wasn't there last night. How the hell did that getthere? [NASREEN] I don't know. --------------------------------------- (Graveyard) [AMBROSE] Well, that was quick. [RORY] Was it? [AMBROSE] It's great that you came. [ELLIOT] Bit retro. What is it, portable crime lab? [RORY] Oh, er, sort of. [AMBROSE] Ambrose Northover. I was the one who called. I run the mealson wheels for the whole valley. This is my son, Elliot. [ELLIOT] Where's your uniform? [AMBROSE] Don't be cheeky, Elliot. He's plain clothes. CID, is it?Anyway, it's over here. [RORY] Er, okay. --------------------------------------- (Mine gates) [DOCTOR] Restricted access. No unauthorisedpersonnel. Hmm. [AMY] That is breaking and entering. [DOCTOR] What did I break? Sonicking and entering. Totally different. [AMY] Come on, then. [DOCTOR] You're sure Rory'll catch us up? --------------------------------------- (Graveyard) [AMBROSE] It's a family plot, see. My aunt Gladys died six years ago.Her husband, Alun, died a few weeks back. He lived in the house twodoors down. There's not many of us left up here now. [ELLIOT] Mum, he doesn't care about that. He wants to know about thedead bodies. [AMBROSE] Yes. Sorry. Well, they always wanted to be buried in the sameplot, together. But when we went to bury Uncle Alun, Gladys wasn'tthere. Gone. Body, coffin, everything. [RORY] What? [AMBROSE] The mad thing is, on the surface, the grave was untouched. Nosigns of it having been messed with. [RORY] I'm sorry, I don't understand. [AMBROSE] Nobody has touched the grave since my aunt was buried. Butwhen they dug it open, the body was gone. How is that possible? --------------------------------------- (Tunnel) [DOCTOR] What about now? Can you feel it now? [AMY] Honestly, I've got no idea what you're on about. [DOCTOR] The ground doesn't feel like it should. [AMY] It's ten years in the future. Maybe how this ground feels is howit always feels. [DOCTOR] Good thought, but no, it doesn't. Hear that, drill in start-upmode. Afterwaves of a recent seismological shift and blue grass. [AMY] Oh, please. Have you always been this disgusting? [DOCTOR] No, that's recent. What's in --------------------------------------- (Store room) [DOCTOR] Here? Hello. [NASREEN] Who are you? What're you doing here? And what're you wearing? [AMY] I dressed for Rio. [DOCTOR] Ministry of Drills, Earth and Science. New Ministry, quite big,just merged. It's lot of responsibility on our shoulders. Don't like totalk about it. What are you doing? [NASREEN] None of your business. [DOCTOR] Where are you getting these readings from? [NASREEN] Under the soil. [MACK] The drill's up and running again. What's going on? Who are thesepeople? [AMY] Amy, the Doctor. We're not staying, are we, Doctor? [DOCTOR] Why's there a big patch of earth in the middle of your floor? [NASREEN] We don't know. It just appeared overnight. [DOCTOR] Good. Right. You all need to get out of here very fast. [NASREEN] Why? [DOCTOR] What's your name? [NASREEN] Nasreen Chaudhry. [DOCTOR] Look at the screens, Nasreen. Look at your readings. It'smoving. [MACK] Hey, that's specialised equipment. Get away from it. [NASREEN] What is? [AMY] Doctor, this steam, is that a good thing? [DOCTOR] Shouldn't think so. It's shifting when it shouldn't beshifting. [NASREEN] What shouldn't? [DOCTOR] The ground, the soil, the earth, moving. But how? Why? [AMY] Earthquake? [MACK] What's going on? [DOCTOR] Doubt it, because it's only happening under this room. [DOCTOR] It knows we're here. It's attacking. The ground's attacking us. [NASREEN] No, no that's not possible. [DOCTOR] Under the circumstances, I'd suggest, run! [NASREEN] Tony! [DOCTOR] Stay back, Amy. Stay away from the earth. [AMY] It's okay. [AMY] It's pulling me down. [DOCTOR] Amy! [AMY] Doctor, help me. Something's got me. [DOCTOR] Stay away from it. [AMY] Doctor, the ground's got my legs. [DOCTOR] I've got you. [AMY] Okay. [AMY] Don't let go. [DOCTOR] Never. [AMY] Doctor, what is it, and why is it doing this? [DOCTOR] Stay calm. Keep hold of my hand. Don't let go. Your drill, shutit down. Go. Now! [AMY] Can you get me out? [DOCTOR] Amy, try and stay calm. If you struggle, it'll make thingsworse. Keep hold of my hand. --------------------------------------- (Control room) [NASREEN] Shut down all drilling activity as quickas you can. [MACK] Reducing main unit power. --------------------------------------- (Store room) [DOCTOR] I'm not going to let you go. [AMY] Doctor, it's pulling me down. Something's pulling me. [DOCTOR] Stay calm. Now, hold on till they can just shut down the drill. [AMY] I can't hold on! --------------------------------------- (Control room) [NASREEN] Tony, we've got to be faster. [MACK] I'm doing my best. Come on, shut down. --------------------------------------- (Store room) [AMY] What's pulling me? What is under the earth? Idon't want to suffocate under there. [DOCTOR] Amy, concentrate. Don't you give up. [AMY] Tell Rory [DOCTOR] No. Amy! Amy, no! [DOCTOR] No! No! No! No! No. No! No. No. No. No. (etc etc) [NASREEN] Where is she? [DOCTOR] She's gone. The ground took her. --------------------------------------- (Graveyard) [ELLIOT] Do you want sugar? [RORY] Sorry? [ELLIOT] In your tea. Mum's asking. [RORY] No. Just white, thanks. [ELLIOT] There's only one explanation, as far as I can see. [RORY] What's that, then? [ELLIOT] The graves eat people. Devour them whole, leaving no trace. [RORY] Not sure about that. [ELLIOT] They didn't steal the body from above. They couldn't have gotin from the sides. Only other thing is, they get in from underneath. [RORY] Not very likely, though. [ELLIOT] When you've eliminated the impossible, whatever remains,however improbable, must be the truth. [RORY] Sorry? [ELLIOT] Sherlock Holmes. Got the audiobook. The graves round here eatpeople. --------------------------------------- (Store room) [MACK] Is that what happened to Mo? Are they dead? [DOCTOR] It's not quicksand. She didn't just sink. Something pulled herin. It wanted her. [NASREEN] The ground wanted her? [DOCTOR] You said the ground was dormant. Just a patch of earth, whenyou first saw it this morning. And the drill had been stopped. [MACK] That's right. [DOCTOR] But when you re-started the drill, the ground fought back. [NASREEN] So what, the ground wants to stop us drilling? Doctor, that isridiculous. [DOCTOR] I'm not saying that, and it's not ridiculous, I just don'tthink it's right. Oh, ofcourse. It's bio-programming. [NASREEN] What? [DOCTOR] Bio-programming. Oh, it's clever. You use bio-signals toresonate the internal molecular structure of natural objects. It'smainly used in engineering and construction, mostly jungle planets, butthat's way in the future and not here. What's it doing here? [NASREEN] Sorry, did you just say jungle planets? [MACK] You're not making any sense, man. [DOCTOR] Excuse me, I'm making perfect sense. You're just not keepingup. The earth, the ground beneath our feet, was bio-programmed toattack. [NASREEN] Yeah, even if that were possible, which, by the way, it's not,why? [DOCTOR] Stop you drilling. Okay, so we find whatever's doing thebio-programming, we can find Amy. We can get her back. Shush, shush,shush. Have I gone mad? I've gone mad. [NASREEN] Doctor. [DOCTOR] Shush, shush. Silence. Absolute silence. You've stopped thedrill, right? [NASREEN] Yes. [DOCTOR] And you've only got the one drill? [NASREEN] Yes. [DOCTOR] You're sure about that? [MACK] Yes. [DOCTOR] So, if you shut the drill down, why can I still hear drilling?It's under the ground. [MACK] That's not possible. [DOCTOR] Hacking into your records. Probe reports, samples, sensors.Good. Just unite the data, make it all one big conversation. Let's havea look. So, we are here and this is your drill hole. Twenty one pointzero zero nine kilometres. Well done. [NASREEN] Thank you. It's taken us a long time. [DOCTOR] Why here, though? Why'd you drill on this site? [DOCTOR] The blue grass? Oh, Nasreen. Those trace minerals weren't Xmarking the spot, saying dig here. They were a warning. Stay away.Because while you've been drilling down, somebody else has beendrilling up. [DOCTOR] Oh, beautiful. Network of tunnels all the way down. [MACK] No, no, we've surveyed that area. [DOCTOR] You only saw what you went looking for. [DOCTOR] Heat signals. Wait, dual readings, hot and cold, doesn't makesense. And now they're moving. Fast. How many people live nearby? [MACK] Just my daughter and her family. The rest of the staff travel in. [DOCTOR] Grab this equipment and follow me. [NASREEN] Why? What're we doing? [DOCTOR] That noise isn't a drill, it's transport. Three of them, thirtykilometres down. Rate of speed looks about a hundred and fiftykilometres an hour. Should be here in ooo, quite soon. Twelve minutes.Whatever bio-programmed the Earth is on its way up, now. --------------------------------------- (Cwmtaff) [MACK] How can something be coming up when there'sonly the Earth's crust down there? [DOCTOR] You saw the readings. [NASREEN] Who are you, anyway? How can you know all this? [NASREEN] Whoa, did you see that? [DOCTOR] No, no, no. [DOCTOR] Energy signal originating from under the Earth. We're trapped. [RORY] Doctor, something weird's going on here, the graves are eatingpeople. [DOCTOR] Not now, Rory. Energy barricade, invisible to the naked eye. Wecan't get out and no one from the outside world can get in. [RORY] What? Okay, what about the Tardis? [NASREEN] The what? [DOCTOR] Er, no. Those energy patterns would play havoc with thecircuits. With a bit of time, maybe, but we've only got nine and a halfminutes. [RORY] Nine and a half minutes to what? [NASREEN] We're trapped, and something's burrowing towards the surface. [RORY] Where's Amy? [DOCTOR] Get everyone inside the church. Rory, I'll get her back. [RORY] What do you mean, get her back? Where's she gone? [DOCTOR] She was taken. Into the Earth. [RORY] How? Why didn't you stop it? [DOCTOR] I tried. I promise, I tried. [RORY] Well, you should've tried harder! [DOCTOR] I'll find Amy. I'll keep you all safe, I promise. Come on,please. I need you alongside me. --------------------------------------- (Church porch) [AMBROSE] Where's Mo? Is he with you? [MACK] This flaming door. Always sticking. I thought you were having itfixed. [AMBROSE] Dad! [ELLIOT] Something's happened to him, hasn't it? --------------------------------------- (Church) [AMBROSE] So we can't get out, we can't contact anyone, and something,the something that took my husband, is coming up through the Earth. [DOCTOR] Yes. If we move quickly enough, we can be ready. [AMBROSE] No, stop. This has gone far enough. What is this? [MACK] He's telling the truth, love. [AMBROSE] Come on. It's not the first time we've had no mobile or phonesignals. Reception's always rubbish. [NASREEN] Look, Ambrose. We saw the Doctor's friend get taken, okay? Yousaw the lightning in the sky. I have seen the impossible today, and theonly person who's made any sense of it for me, is the Doctor. [AMBROSE] Him? [DOCTOR] Me. [ELLIOT] Can you get my dad back? [DOCTOR] Yes. But I need you to trust me and do exactly as I say fromthis second onwards, because we're running out of time. [AMBROSE] So tell us what to do. [DOCTOR] Thank you. We have eight minutes to set up a line of defence.Bring me every phone, every camera, every piece of recording ortransmitting equipment you can find. --------------------------------------- (Graveyard) [DOCTOR] Every burglar alarm, every movement sensor,every security light. I want the whole area covered with sensors. --------------------------------------- (Church) [DOCTOR] Right, guys, we need to be ready for whatever's coming up. Ineed a map of the village marking where the cameras are going. [ELLIOT] I can't do the words. I'm dyslexic. [DOCTOR] Oh, that's all right, I can't make a decent meringue. Draw likeyour life depends on it, Elliot. [MACK] Six minutes forty. [MACK] Works in quadrants. Every movement sensor and trip light we'vegot. If anything moves, we'll know. [DOCTOR] Good lad. --------------------------------------- (Cwmtaff) [AMBROSE] Oi! What're you doing? [DOCTOR] Resources. Every little helps. Meals on wheels. What've you gothere, then. Warmer in the front, refrigerated in the back. [AMBROSE] Bit chilly for a hideout, mind. [DOCTOR] What are those? [AMBROSE] Like you say, every little helps. [DOCTOR] No, no weapons. It's not the way I do things. [AMBROSE] You said we're supposed to be defending ourselves. [DOCTOR] Oh, Ambrose, you're better than this. I'm asking nicely. Putthem away. --------------------------------------- (Church) [DOCTOR] Look at that. Perfect. Dyslexia never stopped Da Vinci orEinstein. It's not stopping you. [ELLIOT] I don't understand what you're going to do. [DOCTOR] Two phase plan. First, the sensors and cameras will tell uswhen something arrives. Second, if something does arrive, I use this tosend a sonic pulse through that network of devices. A pulse which wouldtemporarily incapacitate most things in the universe. [ELLIOT] Knock 'em out. Cool. [DOCTOR] Lovely place to grow up round here. [ELLIOT] Suppose. I want to live in a city one day. Soon as I'm oldenough, I'll be off. [DOCTOR] I was the same where I grew up. [ELLIOT] Did you get away? [DOCTOR] Yeah. [ELLIOT] Do you ever miss it? [DOCTOR] So much. [ELLIOT] Is it monsters coming? Have you met monsters before? [DOCTOR] Yeah. [ELLIOT] You scared of them? [DOCTOR] No, they're scared of me. [ELLIOT] Will you really get my dad back? [DOCTOR] No question. [ELLIOT] I left my headphones at home. --------------------------------------- (Graveyard) [DOCTOR] How're you doing? [RORY] It's getting darker. How can it be getting dark so quickly? [DOCTOR] Shutting out light from within the barricade. Trying to isolateus in the dark. Which means [DOCTOR] It's here. --------------------------------------- (Church) [NASREEN] They're close to the surface now. [NASREEN] Tony. [MACK] Like you didn't know. --------------------------------------- (Church porch) [AMBROSE] I can't open it. It keeps sticking. Thewood's warped. [DOCTOR] Any time you want to help. [RORY] Can't you sonic it? [DOCTOR] It doesn't do wood. [RORY] That is rubbish. [DOCTOR] Oi, don't diss the sonic. --------------------------------------- (Church) [DOCTOR] See if we can get a fix. [MACK] No power. [DOCTOR] It's deliberate. [RORY] What do we do now? [DOCTOR] Nothing. We've got nothing. They sent an energy surge to wreckour systems. [RORY] Is everyone okay? Is anyone hurt? [NASREEN] I'm fine. [AMBROSE] Me too. [RORY] Doctor, what was that? [MACK] It's like the holes at the drill station. [NASREEN] Is this how they happened? [DOCTOR] It's coming through the final layer of Earth. [NASREEN] What is? [MACK] The banging's stopped. [AMBROSE] Where's Elliot? Has anyone seen Elliot? Did he come in? Was hein when the door was shut? Who counted him back in? Who saw him last? [DOCTOR] I did. [AMBROSE] Where is he? [DOCTOR] He said he was going to get headphones. [AMBROSE] And you let him go? He was out there on his own? --------------------------------------- (Church porch) [ELLIOT] Mum! Grandpa Tony! Let me in! --------------------------------------- (Church) [AMBROSE] Elliot! [ELLIOT [OC]] Let me in. [AMBROSE] He's out there. Help me! --------------------------------------- (Church porch) [ELLIOT] Open the door. Mum! There's something outhere. --------------------------------------- (Church) [AMBROSE] Push, Elliot. --------------------------------------- (Church porch) [AMBROSE [OC]] Push, Elliot. Give it a shove. [ELLIOT] Mum. Hurry up. [ELLIOT] Mum. --------------------------------------- (Church) [MACK] Come on. --------------------------------------- (Church porch) [AMBROSE] Elliot! Where is he? He was here. He washere. Elliot! [DOCTOR] Ambrose, don't go running off! [MACK] Ambrose! --------------------------------------- (Graveyard) [AMBROSE] Elliot, it's Mum. [AMBROSE] Nooo! [AMBROSE] Get off me! [AMBROSE] Dad! [DOCTOR] What happened? [AMBROSE] My dad's hurt. [DOCTOR] Get him into the church now. [AMBROSE] Elliot's gone. They've killed him, haven't they? [DOCTOR] I don't think so. They've taken three people when they could'vejust killed them up here. There's still hope, Ambrose. There is alwayshope. [AMBROSE] Then why have they taken him? [DOCTOR] I don't know. I'll find Elliot, I promise. But first I've gotto stop this attack. Please, get inside the church. [AMBROSE] Come on, Dad. [RORY] So what now? --------------------------------------- (Cwmtaff) [DOCTOR] Cold blood. I know who they are. [RORY] We got it. [DOCTOR] Defending the planet with meals on wheels. [RORY] What was that? [DOCTOR] Sounds like they're leaving. [RORY] Without this one? [RORY] Looks like we scared them off. [DOCTOR] I don't think so. Now both sides have hostages. --------------------------------------- (Underground) [AMY] Let me out. Can anybody hear me? I'm alive in here! Let me out! Iknow you're out there. My name is Amy Pond and you'd better get me thehell out of here or so help me I am going to kick your backside.Please? [FIGURE] Shush. [AMY] Did you just shush me? Did you just shush me? [AMY] No, no, no. No, don't do that. No gas. No gas! --------------------------------------- (Graveyard) [DOCTOR] So, I think I've met these creaturesbefore. Different branch of the species, mind, but all the same. Let'ssee if our friend's thawed out. --------------------------------------- (Crypt) [RORY] Are you sure? By yourself? [DOCTOR] Very sure. [RORY] But the sting? [DOCTOR] Venom gland takes at least twenty four hours to recharge. Am Iright? I know what I'm doing. I'll be fine. [DOCTOR] I'm the Doctor. I've come to talk. I'm going to remove yourmask. [DOCTOR] You are beautiful. Remnant of a bygone age on planet Earth. Andby the way, lovely mode of travel. Geothermal currents projecting youup through a network of tunnels. Gorgeous. Mind if I sit? Now. Yourpeople have a friend of mine. I want her back. Why did you come to thesurface? What do you want? Oh, I do hate a monologue. Give us a bitback. How many are you? [ALAYA] I'm the last of my species. [DOCTOR] Really. No. Last of the species. The Klempari Defence. As aninterrogation defence, it's a bit old hat, I'm afraid. [ALAYA] I'm the last of my species. [DOCTOR] No. You're really not. Because I'm the last of my species and Iknow how it sits in a heart. So don't insult me. Let's start again.Tell me your name. [ALAYA] Alaya. [DOCTOR] How long has your tribe been sleeping under the Earth, Alaya?It's not difficult to work out. You're three hundred million years outof your comfort zone. Question is, what woke you now? [ALAYA] We were attacked. [DOCTOR] The drill. [ALAYA] Our sensors detected a threat to our life support systems. Thewarrior class was activated to prevent the assault. We will wipe thevermin from the surface and reclaim our planet. [DOCTOR] Do we have to say vermin? They're really very nice. [ALAYA] Primitive apes. [DOCTOR] Extraordinary species. You attack them, they'll fight back.But, there's a peace to be brokered here. I can help you with that. [ALAYA] This land is ours. We lived here long before the apes. [DOCTOR] Doesn't give you automatic rights to it now, I'm afraid. Humanswon't give up the planet. [ALAYA] So we destroy them. [DOCTOR] You underestimate them. [ALAYA] You underestimate us. [DOCTOR] One tribe of homo reptilia against six billion humans? You'vegot your work cut out. [ALAYA] We did not initiate combat, but we can still win. [DOCTOR] Tell me where my friend is. Give us back the people who weretaken. [ALAYA] No. [DOCTOR] I'm not going let you provoke a war, Alaya. There'll be nobattle here today. [ALAYA] The fire of war is already lit. A massacre is due. [DOCTOR] Not while I'm here. [ALAYA] I'll gladly die for my cause. What will you sacrifice for yours? --------------------------------------- (Church) [RORY] You're going to what? [DOCTOR] I'm going to go down below the surface, to find the rest of thetribe, to talk to them. [AMBROSE] You're going to negotiate with these aliens? [DOCTOR] They're not aliens. They're Earth-liens. Once known as theSilurian race, or, some would argue, Eocenes, or HomoReptilia. Not monsters, not evil. Well, only as evil as you are. Theprevious owners of the planet, that's all. Look, from their point ofview, you're the invaders. Your drill was threatening their settlement.Now, the creature in the crypt. Her name's Alaya. She's one of theirwarriors, and she's my best bargaining chip. I need her alive. If shelives, so do Elliot and Mo and Amy, because I will find them. While I'mgone, you four people, in this church, in this corner of planet Earth,you have to be the best of humanity. [MACK] And what if they come back? Shouldn't we be examining thiscreature? Dissecting it, finding its weak points? [DOCTOR] No dissecting, no examining. We return their hostage, theyreturn ours, nobody gets harmed. We can land this together, if you arethe best you can be. You are decent, brilliant people. Nobody diestoday. Understand? --------------------------------------- (Graveyard) [DOCTOR] No, sorry, no. What are you doing? [NASREEN] Coming with you, of course. What is it, some kind of transportpod? [DOCTOR] Sort of, but you're not coming with me. [MACK] He's right. You're not. [NASREEN] I have spent all my life excavating the layers of this planet,and now you want me to stand back while you head down into it? I don'tthink so. [DOCTOR] I don't have time to argue. [NASREEN] I thought we were in a rush. [DOCTOR] It'll be dangerous. [NASREEN] Oh, so's crossing the road. [DOCTOR] Oh, for goodness sake. All right, then. Come on. [MACK] Hey. Come back safe. [NASREEN] Of course. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] Welcome aboard the Tardis. Now, don't touchanything. Very precious. [NASREEN] No way. But, but that's, this is fantastic. What does it do? [DOCTOR] Everything. I'm hoping, if we're going down, that barricadewon't interfere. [DOCTOR] Did you touch something? [NASREEN] No. Isn't this what it does? [DOCTOR] I'm not doing anything. We've been hijacked. I can't stop it.They must've sensed the electro-magnetic field. They're pulling theTardis down into the Earth. --------------------------------------- (Crypt) [ALAYA] You had to come and see me. [RORY] We are going to keep you safe. [AMBROSE] Your tribe are going to give us back our people in exchangefor you. [ALAYA] No. Shall I tell you what's really going to happen, apes? One ofyou will kill me. My death shall ignite a war, and every stinking apeshall be wiped from the surface of my beloved planet. [MACK] We won't allow that to happen. [ALAYA] I know apes better than you know yourselves. I know which one ofyou will kill me. Do you? --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [NASREEN] Where are we? --------------------------------------- (Tunnel) [DOCTOR] Looks like we fell through the bottom of their tunnel system.Don't suppose it was designed for handling something like this. [NASREEN] How far down are we? [DOCTOR] Oh, a lot more than twenty one kilometres. [NASREEN] So why aren't we burning alive? [DOCTOR] Don't know. Interesting, isn't it? [NASREEN] It's like this is everyday to you. [DOCTOR] Not every day. Every other day. --------------------------------------- (Laboratory) [MO] Don't struggle. Close your eyes and don't struggle. [AMY] What? Where am I? Why can't I move my body? [MO] Decontamination, they call it. They did it to me while I wasconscious. [AMY] Okay, you're freaking me out now. Did what? Who did? [MO] Dissected me. [AMY] No. [MO] He's coming. I'm sorry. I wish I could help you. --------------------------------------- (Tunnel) [DOCTOR] We're looking for a small tribal settlementprobably housing around a dozenHomo Reptilia? Maybe less. [NASREEN] One small tribe. [DOCTOR] Yeah. [DOCTOR] Ah. [DOCTOR] Maybe more than a dozen. Maybe more like an entire civilisationliving beneath the Earth.

Doctor Who (29 May, 2010; Eleventh Doctor) - Cold Blood (City) [DOCTOR] This place is enormous and deserted. Themajority of the race are probably still asleep. We need to find Amy.Looking for heat signature anomalies. [NASREEN] But Doctor, how can all this be here? I mean, these plants. [DOCTOR] Must be getting closer to the centre of the city. [NASREEN] You're sure this is the best way to enter? [DOCTOR] Front door approach. Definitely. Always the best way. [COMPUTER] Hostile life forms detected area seventeen. [DOCTOR] Apart from the back door approach. That's also good. Sometimesbetter. [COMPUTER] Hostile life forms detected area seventeen. [NASREEN] Doctor. [COMPUTER] Hostile life forms detected area seventeen. [DOCTOR] We're not hostile. We're not armed. We're here in peace. --------------------------------------- (Laboratory) [AMY] Don't you come near me with that. [MALOHKEH] From the clothing, the human female appears to be moreresistant to the cold than the male. [AMY] I dressed for Rio! [MO] Leave her alone. You've got me. [AMY] Argh. [MALOHKEH] Decontamination complete. Commencing dissection. [TANNOY] Area Seventeen incursion. Species diagnostic requested. AreaSeventeen incursion. Species diagnostic requested. [AMY] Yeah. And stay out. [AMY] Ah ah! [AMY] You never picked a lizard man's pocket? Come on, before he getsback. --------------------------------------- (Tunnel) [MO] That creature, do you think it was an alien?Any more of them, do you think? Do you think the Earth's been invaded? [AMY] Don't know. But I know someone who could have some answers. Weneed to get back to the surface and find him. I wonder where thisleads. [MO] Maybe it's a way out of here. [MO] Oh, my God, no. [AMY] What is it? [MO] It's my son. It's Elliot. What've they done to him? He's in there.We have to get him out. Elliot? Elliot, it's Dad. [COMPUTER] Access denied. Unauthorised genetic imprint. [AMY] Stop. Seriously, we can't get in. [MO] That's my boy in there. [AMY] These screens, they're monitoring something. I think they're vitalsigns. Heartbeats, pulses. Why else would he be wired up? He's stillalive. [MO] All right. We find weapons, get that creature from the lab andforce it to release Elliot, yeah? [AMY] Yeah. Trust me. We'll get him out. --------------------------------------- (Graveyard) [RORY] Ambrose. [AMBROSE] You lied. You told us you were the police. [RORY] It was a misunderstanding. [AMBROSE] Who are you? You and the Doctor? Why is this happening to us?What did we ever do? [RORY] The Doctor'll get your son back, I promise. In the meantime, wetake turns guarding the creature. [AMBROSE] Oh, so that's it? We just sit and wait. [RORY] And then we exchange her for your family. I promise you, Ambrose,I trust the Doctor with my life. We stick to his plan. We keep thatcreature safe. --------------------------------------- (Laboratory) [DOCTOR] Argh. [RESTAC] How can they have escaped? This proves all prisoners shouldremain under military guard. [MALOHKEH] I'm sure you'd prefer to be in charge of everything andeveryone, Restac, but we rank the same. Is there any word from Alaya? [RESTAC] No. [MALOHKEH] It's fine to show concern, you know. She's part of yourgene-chain. I'm decontaminating now. [DOCTOR] Decontamination? No, no, no. --------------------------------------- (Crypt) [ALAYA] Why aren't you dead? You're carrying my venom in your blood. Butyou should have died. Why aren't you dead? Show me. [ALAYA] How does it feel, ape? [MACK] Like it's burning in my blood. Please, if you help me, I can helpyou. If you could cure me, I could help you escape. [ALAYA] You see? You beg and offer betrayal so early. Why would I wantto escape when I can watch you die? The first ape death of the comingwar. --------------------------------------- (Laboratory) [DOCTOR] No! Argh! [MALOHKEH] It's all right, it won't harm you. I'm only neutralising allyour ape bacteria. [DOCTOR] I'm not an ape. Look at the scans. Two hearts. Totallydifferent. Totally not ape! Remove all human germs, you remove half thethings keeping me alive. [RESTAC] No, complete the process. [DOCTOR] Oh, that's much better, thanks. Not got any celery, have you?No. No, not really the climate. Tomatoes, though. You'd do a roaringtrade in those. I'm the Doctor. Oh, and there's Nasreen. Good. [NASREEN] Oh, a green man. [DOCTOR] Hello. Who are you? [RESTAC] Restac, Military commander. [DOCTOR] Oh dear, really? There's always a military, isn't there? [MALOHKEH] Your weapon was attacking the oxygen pockets above our city. [DOCTOR] Oxygen pockets, lovely. Ooo, but not so good with an impendingdrill. Now it makes sense. [RESTAC] Where is the rest of your invasion force? [DOCTOR] Invasion force. Me and lovely Nasreen? No. We came for thehumans you took. And to offer the safe return of Alaya. Oh wait, youand she, what is it, same genetic source? Of course you're worried, butdon't be, she's safe. [RESTAC] You claim to come in peace, but you hold one of us hostage. [DOCTOR] Wait, wait, we all want the same thing here. [RESTAC] I don't negotiate with apes. I'm going to send a clear messageto those on the surface. [DOCTOR] What's that? [RESTAC] Your execution. [DOCTOR] Yes. --------------------------------------- (Cryo-chambers) [AMY] These chambers are all over the city. [MO] Urgh. Turn it off, quick. They're not moving. [AMY] Maybe they're asleep. Let's have another look. [MO] No, Amy, don't. Don't. [MO] Amy, what are you doing? Get out of there. [AMY] Some sort of suspended animation. I wonder what these are? [AMY] The Doctor would know. The Doctor always knows. [MO] Hey, look. [AMY] Wait. I've got it. It's how they came up to the surface. Some sortof powered transport discs. It's our way out of here. [MO] Even better. Weapons. Come on, now we can fight back. [MO] Which way now? [AMY] Door at the end. [MO] Are you sure? [AMY] No. --------------------------------------- (Army storage) [MO] Wow. [AMY] Yeah. [MO] We don't stand a chance. [AMY] We have to find the Doctor. --------------------------------------- (Church) [AMBROSE] Dad, are you all right? Dad? [MACK] Ambrose, I'm fine. Leave me alone. [AMBROSE] You are not fine. Let me, let me look. [MACK] Get off. [AMBROSE] Let me look. Oh, my God, Dad. [MACK] I don't know what's happening to me. [AMBROSE] It's going to be fine. First thing is, bring this temperaturedown. Get you resting. --------------------------------------- (Gardens) [DOCTOR] These must be the only ones awake. The others must still be inhibernation. [NASREEN] So, why did they go into hibernation in the first place? [DOCTOR] Their astronomers predicted the planet heading to Earth on acrash course. They a built life underground and put themselves to sleepfor millennia in order to avert what they thought was the apocalypse,when in reality it was the moon coming into alignment with the Earth. [MALOHKEH] How can you know that? [DOCTOR] Long time ago, I met another tribe of Homo Reptilia. Similar,but not identical. [RESTAC] Others of our species have survived? [DOCTOR] The humans attacked them. They died. I'm sorry. [RESTAC] A vermin race. --------------------------------------- (Crypt) [AMBROSE] What's the cure? [ALAYA] What? [AMBROSE] I saw what you've done to my dad. What's the cure? [ALAYA] Why would I tell you? [AMBROSE] Because if you don't, I'm going to have to use this on you. [ALAYA] Now you reveal yourselves. [AMBROSE] First you take my son, now you hurt my dad. I'm justprotecting my family here, that's all. I don't want to use it. I wantyou to put things right. [ALAYA] Use it. [AMBROSE] What? [ALAYA] Use it on me. But you're too afraid. A woman who can't evenprotect her own child must be too weak to [AMBROSE] I didn't want to do that. Are you all right? Tell me, what'sthe cure for my dad? [ALAYA] He's vermin. He deserves a painful death. [AMBROSE] I am giving you a chance. [ALAYA] I knew it would be you. The one with the most to lose. Theweakest. --------------------------------------- (Church) [RORY] I'm a nurse. You should have told me. --------------------------------------- (Crypt) [MACK] Ambrose, what have you done? [AMBROSE] She kept taunting me about Mo and Elliot and you. [MACK] We have to be better than this. [AMBROSE] She wouldn't tell me anything. I thought sooner or later she'dgive in. I would have done. I just, I just want my family back, Dad. [RORY] I'm sorry. How do we help you? Tell us what to do. [ALAYA] I knew this would come. And soon the war. [RORY] You're not dying. I'm not going to let you. Not today. --------------------------------------- (Court) [MALOHKEH] You're not authorised to do this. [RESTAC] I am authorised to protect the safety of our species while theysleep. [DOCTOR] Oh, lovely place. Very gleaming. [RESTAC] This is our court and our place of execution. [AMY] Let them go. [DOCTOR] Amy Pond. There's a girl to rely on. [AMY] You're covered both ways, so don't try anything clever, buster. [NASREEN] Mo. [AMY] Now let them go, or I shoot. [AMY] I'm warning you. [DOCTOR] Don't you touch her! [RESTAC] And you. [MALOHKEH] All right, Restac, you've made your point. [RESTAC] This is now a military tribunal. Go back to your laboratory,Malohkeh. [MALOHKEH] This isn't the way. [RESTAC] Prepare them for execution. [AMY] Okay, sorry. As rescues go, didn't live up to its potential. [DOCTOR] I'm glad you're okay. [AMY] Me too. Lizard men, though. [DOCTOR] Homo Reptilia. They occupied the planet before humans. Now theywant it back. [NASREEN] After they've wiped out the human race. [AMY] Right. Preferred it when I didn't know, to be honest. [NASREEN] Why are they waiting? What do you think they're going to dowith us? --------------------------------------- (Crypt) [AMBROSE] I didn't know it would go like that, Dad. [MACK] My little girl, what have you done? [AMBROSE] What happens now? [AMBROSE] Oh, my God. [RESTAC [on screen]] Who is the ape leader? [AMBROSE] It's them. How are they doing that? How do they know thatwe're in here? [RESTAC [on screen]] Who speaks for the apes? [MACK] Don't tell them what's happened. --------------------------------------- (Court) [RORY [on screen]] I speak for the humans. Some of us, anyway. --------------------------------------- (Crypt) [RESTAC [on screen]] Do you understand who we are? [RORY] Sort of. A bit. Not really. [RESTAC [on screen]] We have ape hostages. --------------------------------------- (Court) [RORY [on screen]] Doctor! Amy! [AMBROSE [on screen]] Mo! Mo, are you okay? --------------------------------------- (Crypt) [MO [on screen] I'm fine, love. I've found Elliot.I'm bringing him home. [RORY] Amy, I thought I'd lost you. [AMY [on screen]] What, cause I was sucked into the ground? You're soclingy. [NASREEN [on screen]] Tony Mack! --------------------------------------- (Crypt) [MACK] Having fun down there? [DOCTOR [on screen]] Not to interrupt, but just a quick reminder to staycalm. [RESTAC [on screen]] Show me Alaya. Show me, and release her immediatelyunharmed, or we kill your friends --------------------------------------- (Court) [RESTAC] One by one. [AMBROSE [on screen]] No. --------------------------------------- (Crypt) [RORY] Ambrose. [DOCTOR [on screen]] Steady now, everyone. --------------------------------------- (Court) [MACK [on screen]] Ambrose, stop it. [AMBROSE [on screen]] Get off me, Dad. --------------------------------------- (Crypt) [AMBROSE] We didn't start this. --------------------------------------- (Court) [DOCTOR] Let Rory deal with this, Ambrose, eh? --------------------------------------- (Crypt) [AMBROSE] We are not doing what you say any more.Now, give me back my family. [RESTAC [on screen]] No. Execute the girl. [RORY] No! No, wait! [AMY [on screen]] Rory! --------------------------------------- (Court) [RORY [on screen]] She's not speaking for us. [DOCTOR] There's no need for this. [RORY [on screen]] Listen, listen. Whatever you want, we'll do it. [RESTAC] Aim. [RORY [on screen]] Amy! [AMY] Rory! [DOCTOR] Don't do this! --------------------------------------- (Crypt) [RORY] No! --------------------------------------- (Court) [RESTAC] Fire! [ELDANE] Stop! You want to start a war while the rest of us sleep,Restac? [RESTAC] The apes are attacking us. [ELDANE] You're our protector, not our commander, Restac. Unchain them. [RESTAC] I do not recognise your authority at this time, Eldane. [ELDANE] Well then, you must shoot me. [RESTAC] You woke him to undermine me. [MALOHKEH] We're not monsters. And neither are they. [RESTAC] What is it about apes you love so much, hmm? [MALOHKEH] While you slept, they've evolved. I've seen it for myself. [RESTAC] We used to hunt apes for sport. When we came underground, theybred and polluted this planet. [ELDANE] Shush now, Restac. Go and play soldiers. I'll let you know if Ineed you. [RESTAC] You'll need me, then we'll see. --------------------------------------- (Crypt) [RORY] Nothing. I've got to get down there. [DOCTOR [on screen]] Rory. Hello. [RORY] Where's Amy? [DOCTOR [on screen]] She's fine. Look, here, she is. [RORY] Oh, thank God. [AMY [on screen]] Keeping you on your toes. [DOCTOR [on screen]] No time to chat. Listen, you need to get down here.Go to the drill storeroom. There's a large patch of earth in the middleof the floor. The Silurians are going to send up transport discs tobring you back down using geothermal energy and gravity bubbletechnology. It's how they travel and frankly, it's pretty cool. BringAlaya. We hand her over, we can land this after all. All going to work,promise. Got to dash. Hurry up. [MACK] The moment we get down there, everything will fall apart. [RORY] We have to return her. They deserve at least that. --------------------------------------- (Court) [DOCTOR] I'd say you've got a fair bit to talkabout. [ELDANE] How so? [DOCTOR] You both want the planet. You both have a genuine claim to it. [ELDANE] Are you authorised to negotiate on behalf of humanity? [DOCTOR] Me? No. But they are. [NASREEN] What? [AMY] No, we're not. [DOCTOR] Course you are. Amy Pond and Nasreen Chaudhry, speaking for theplanet? Humanity couldn't have better ambassadors. Come on, who hasmore fun than us? [AMY] Is this what happens, in the future? The planet gets shared? Isthat what we need to do? [NASREEN] Er, what are you talking about? [DOCTOR] Oh Nasreen, sorry. Probably worth mentioning at this stage, Amyand I travel in time a bit. [NASREEN] Anything else? [DOCTOR] There are fixed points through time where things must alwaysstay the way they are. This is not one of them. This is an opportunity.A temporal tipping point. Whatever happens today, will change futureevents, create its own timeline, its own reality. The future pivotsaround you, here, now. So do good, for humanity, and for Earth. [AMY] Right. No pressure there, then. [NASREEN] We can't share the planet. Nobody on the surface is going togo for this idea. It is just too big a leap. [DOCTOR] Come on. Be extraordinary. [NASREEN] Oh. [DOCTOR] Okay. Bringing things to order. The first meeting ofrepresentatives of the human race and Homo Reptilia is now in session.Ha! Never said that before. That's fab. Carry on. Now, Mo. Let's go andget your son. Oh, you know, humans, and their predecessors shooting thebreeze. Never thought I'd see it. --------------------------------------- (Store room) [MACK] So we get on those, and they take us down through the Earth? [RORY] Geothermal gravity bubbles, or something. [AMBROSE] They sent four. She was our only bargaining chip. [RORY] We have to hand her back. [AMBROSE] Wait. Before we go down, there's something I've got to do.Dad? I need your help. --------------------------------------- (Tunnel) [MACK] No. No way. [AMBROSE] Please, Dad. Just a precaution. [MACK] I told you, I won't do it. [AMBROSE] Look at what they did to you. [MACK] This isn't about me or you. [AMBROSE] No, it's about your grandson. If you won't do it for me, do itfor Elliot. I know I did wrong, but I can't lose him, Dad. --------------------------------------- (Stasis pod) [DOCTOR] Elliot. There you are. [MO] If you've harmed him in any way. [MALOHKEH] Of course not. I only store the young. [DOCTOR] But why? [MALOHKEH] I took samples of the young, slowed their lifecycles to amillionth of their normal rate so I could study how they grew, whatthey needed, how they lived on the surface. [DOCTOR] You've been down here working by yourself, all alone? [MALOHKEH] My family, through the millennia, and for the last threehundred years, just me. I never meant to harm your child. [DOCTOR] Malohkeh, I rather love you. [MALOHKEH] It's safe. We can wake him. [MALOHKEH] Come. [MO] Elliot? Ell, it's Dad. [ELLIOT] Dad. [MO] You're safe now. [ELLIOT] Where are we? [MO] Well, I've got to be honest with you, son. We're in the centre ofthe Earth, and there are lizard men. [MALOHKEH] Hi. [ELLIOT] Wow. [DOCTOR] Elliot. I'm sorry. I took my eye off you. [ELLIOT] It's okay. I forgive you. [MALOHKEH] You go on, Doctor. I'll catch up. [COMPUTER] Storage facility nineteen operational. --------------------------------------- (Court) [ELDANE] We lived on the surface of the planet longbefore you did. Our sole purpose has been to return to our rightfulplace. [NASREEN] And we've got a planet that can't already sustain the peoplewho live there. And you want to add a whole other species to drainresources [ELDANE [OC]] As I sat there that day across the table from the humans,the future of both species and of our beloved planet Earth rested inour hands. But as the discussions went on, I began to despair aboutwhether we would ever find any common ground. As ambassadors for ourspecies we all had too much to lose. [AMY] So, what about the areas that aren't habitable to us? Australianoutback, Sahara desert, Nevada plains. They're all deserted. [NASREEN] Yes, fine, but what happens when their population grows andbreeds and spreads? And anyway, what benefit does humanity get, and howwill we ever sell this to people on the surface? [ELDANE] If I could get a word in, maybe I could tell you. You give usspace, we can bring new sources of energy, new methods of water supply,new medicines, scientific advances. We were a great civilisation. Youprovide a place for us on the surface, we'll give you knowledge andtechnology beyond humanity's dreams. If we work together, this planetcould achieve greatness. [NASREEN] Okay. Now I'm starting to see it. [AMY] Oh yeah. [DOCTOR] Not bad for a first session. More similarities thandifferences. [ELDANE] The transport has returned. Your friends are here. --------------------------------------- (Cryo-chambers) [MALOHKEH] That's not right. What are you doing? [RESTAC] Protecting our race against the apes. [MALOHKEH] You can't do this. [RESTAC] You're a good scientist, Malohkeh, but this is war. --------------------------------------- (Court) [DOCTOR] Here they are. [ELLIOT] Mum! [AMY] Rory! [DOCTOR] Something's wrong. [AMY] Doctor, what's he carrying? [DOCTOR] No. Don't do this. Tell me you didn't do this. [DOCTOR] What did you do? [AMBROSE] It was me. I did it. [ELLIOT] Mum? [AMBROSE] I just wanted you back. [DOCTOR] I'm sorry. I didn't know. You have to believe me, they'rebetter than this. [AMBROSE] This is our planet! [DOCTOR] We had a chance here. [AMBROSE] Leave us alone. [DOCTOR] In future, when you talk about this, you tell people there wasa chance but you were so much less than the best of humanity. [RESTAC] My sister. Oh. And you want us to trust these apes, Doctor? [DOCTOR] One woman. She was scared for her family. She is not typical. [RESTAC] I think she is. [DOCTOR] One person let us down, but there is a whole race of dazzling,peaceful human beings up there. You were building something here. Comeon. An alliance could work. [AMBROSE] It's too late for that, Doctor. [DOCTOR] Why? [AMBROSE] Our drill is set to start burrowing again in fifteen minutes. [NASREEN] What? [MACK] What choice did I have? They had Elliot. [DOCTOR] Don't do this. Don't call their bluff. [AMBROSE] Let us go back. And you promise to never come to the surfaceever again. We'll walk away, leave you alone. [RESTAC] Execute her. [DOCTOR] No! [DOCTOR] Everybody, back to the lab. Run. [RESTAC] Execute all the apes. [DOCTOR] This is a deadly weapon. Stay back. --------------------------------------- (Tunnel) [DOCTOR] Take everyone to the lab. I'll cover you. [RORY] Go. Go. [DOCTOR] Ah, ah, Stop right there or I'll use my very deadly weaponagain. One warning, that's all you get. If there can be no deal, you goback into hibernation. All of you, now. This ends here. [RESTAC] No. It only ends with our victory. [DOCTOR] Like I said, one warning. --------------------------------------- (Laboratory) [DOCTOR] Elliot, you and your dad keep your eyes on that screen. Let meknow if we get company. Amy, keep reminding me how much time I haven'tgot. [AMY] Okay. Um, er, twelve minutes till drill impact. [DOCTOR] Tony Mack. Sweaty forehead, dilated pupils. What are youhiding? [NASREEN] Tony, what happened? [MACK] Alaya's sting. She said there's no cure. I'm dying, aren't I? [DOCTOR] You're not dying, you're mutating. [MACK] How can I stop it? [DOCTOR] Decontamination program. Might work. Don't know. Eldane, canyou run the program on Tony? [MO] Doctor, shedload of those creatures coming our way. We'resurrounded in here. [DOCTOR] So, question is, how we do stop the drill given we can't getthere in time? Plus, also, how do we get out, given that we'resurrounded? Nasreen, how do you feel about an energy pulse channelledup through the tunnels to the base of the drill? [NASREEN] To blow up my life's work? [DOCTOR] Yes. Sorry. No nice way of putting that. [NASREEN] Right, well, you're going to have to do it before the drillhits the city, in er [AMY] Eleven minutes forty seconds. [DOCTOR] Yes. Squeaky bum time. [NASREEN] Yes, but the explosion is going to cave in all the surroundingtunnels, so we have to be out and on the surface by then. [RORY] But we can't get past Restac's troops. [ELDANE] I can help with that. Toxic Fumigation. An emergency failsafemeant to protect my species from infection. A warning signal to occupycryo-chambers. After that, citywide fumigation by toxic gas. Then thecity shuts down. [AMY] You could end up killing your own people. [ELDANE] Only those foolish enough to follow Restac. [DOCTOR] Eldane, are you sure about this? [ELDANE] My priority is my race's survival. The Earth isn't ready for usto return yet. [DOCTOR] No. [AMY] Ten minutes, Doctor. [DOCTOR] But maybe it should be. So, here's a deal. Everybody listening.Eldane, you activate shutdown. I'll amend the system, set your alarmfor a thousand years time. A thousand years to sort the planet out. Tobe ready. Pass it on. As legend, or prophesy, or religion, but somehowmake it known. This planet is to be shared. [ELLIOT] Yeah. I get you. [AMY] Nine minutes, seven seconds. [DOCTOR] Yes. Fluid controls, my favourite. Energy pulse. Timed, primedand set. Before we go, energy barricade. Need to cancel it out quickly. [ELDANE] Fumigation pre-launching. [RORY] There's not much time for us to get from here to the surface,Doctor. [DOCTOR] Ah ha, super-squeaky bum time. Get ready to run for your lives.Now. [ELDANE] But the decontamination program on your friend hasn't startedyet. [MACK] Well, go. All of you, go. [AMBROSE] No, we're not leaving you here. [ELLIOT] Granddad. [AMY] Eight minutes ten seconds. [MACK] Now you look after your mum. You mustn't blame her. She only didwhat she thought was right. [ELLIOT] I'm not going to see you again, am I? [MACK] I'll be here, always. I love you, boy. You be sure he gets homesafe. [AMBROSE] This is my fault. [MACK] No, I can't go back up there. I'd be a freak show. The technologydown here's my only hope. [AMBROSE] I love you, Dad. [MACK] Go. Go. [MO] Come on. [MACK] Go on. [COMPUTER] Toxic fumigation initiated. --------------------------------------- (Tunnel) [COMPUTER] Return to cryo-chambers. [RESTAC] No. [COMPUTER] Toxic fumigation initiated. [RESTAC] No! [COMPUTER] Return to cryo-chambers. [RESTAC] This is not the order. --------------------------------------- (Laboratory) [COMPUTER] Toxic fumigation initiated. [AMY] They're going. We're clear. [DOCTOR] Okay, everyone follow Nasreen. Look for a blue box. Get readyto run. [COMPUTER] Return to cryo-chambers. [DOCTOR] I'm sorry. [ELDANE] I thought for a moment, our race and the humans [DOCTOR] Yeah, me too. [AMY] Doctor, We've got less than six minutes. [DOCTOR] Go. Go! I'm right behind you. Let's go. [NASREEN] I'm not coming either. [DOCTOR] What? --------------------------------------- (Tunnel) [AMY] Oh, for goodness sake. --------------------------------------- (Laboratory) [NASREEN] We're going to hibernate with them, me andTony. [ELDANE] Doctor, you must go. [MACK] I can be decontaminated when we're woken. All the time in theworld. [DOCTOR] But, Nasreen, you [NASREEN] No, this is perfect. I don't want to go. I've got what I wasdigging for. I can't leave when I've only just found it. [AMY] Doctor! [NASREEN] Thank you, Doctor. [DOCTOR] The pleasure was all mine. [NASREEN] Come and look for us. [ELDANE [OC]] So the Doctor sent our warriors back to their rest, on thepromise of future harmony with humans. --------------------------------------- (City) [COMPUTER] Immediate evacuation. [AMY] Other way, idiot. [COMPUTER] Toxic fumigation is about to commence. Immediate evacuation. [DOCTOR] Come on. [COMPUTER] Toxic fumigation is about to commence. --------------------------------------- (Outside the Tardis) [DOCTOR] No questions, just get in. And yes, I know,it's big. Ambrose, sickbay up the stairs, left, then left again, Getyourself fixed up. Come on. Five minutes and counting. Not here. [DOCTOR] Not now. It's getting wider. [AMY] The crack on my bedroom wall. [DOCTOR [memory]] Two parts of space and time that should never havetouched, right here. [DOCTOR] And the Byzantium. All through the universe, rips in thecontinuum. [AMY [memory]] How can it be following me? [DOCTOR] Some sort of space-time cataclysm. An explosion, maybe. Bigenough to put cracks in the universe. But what? [AMY] Four minutes fifty. We have to go. [DOCTOR] The Angels laughed when I didn't know. Prisoner Zero knew.Everybody knows except me. [AMY] Doctor, just leave it. [DOCTOR] But where there's an explosion, there's shrapnel. [RORY] Doctor, you can't put your hand in there. [DOCTOR] Why not? [DOCTOR] Argh. I've got something. [AMY] What is it? [DOCTOR] I don't know. [RORY] Doctor? [AMY] She was there when the gas started. She must have been poisoned. [RESTAC] You. [DOCTOR] Okay, get in the Tardis, both of you. [RESTAC] You did this. [RORY] Doctor! [AMY] Rory! [DOCTOR] Rory, can you hear me? [RORY] I don't understand. [AMY] Shush. Don't talk. Doctor, is he okay? We have to get him onto theTardis. [RORY] We were on the hill. I can't die here. [AMY] Don't say that. [RORY] You're so beautiful. I'm sorry. [AMY] Doctor, help him. [DOCTOR [memory]] If the time energy catches up with you, you'll neverhave been born. It will erase every moment of your existence. You willnever have lived at all. At all. At all. At all. [DOCTOR] Amy, move away from the light. If it touches you, you'll bewiped from history. Amy, move away now. [AMY] No. I am not leaving him. We have to help him. [DOCTOR] The light's already around him. We can't help him. [AMY] I am not leaving him. [DOCTOR] We have to. [AMY] No! [DOCTOR] I'm sorry. [AMY] Get off me! [DOCTOR] I'm sorry. [AMY] Get off me. No. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [AMY] No! No! No! No! Let me out. Please let me out. I need to get toRory. That light. If his body's absorbed, I'll forget him. He'll neverhave existed. You can't let that happen. What are you doing? [AMY] Doctor, no! No! No! No! [AMY] Doctor, we can't just leave him there. [DOCTOR] Keep him in your mind. Don't forget him. If you forget him,you'll lose him forever. [AMY] When we were on the Byzantium, I still remembered the Clericsbecause I am a time traveller now, you said. [DOCTOR] They weren't part of your world. This is different. This isyour own history changing. [AMY] Don't tell me it's going to be okay. You have to make it okay. [DOCTOR] It's going to be hard, but you can do it, Amy. Tell me aboutRory, eh? Fantastic Rory. Funny Rory. Gorgeous Rory. Amy, listen to me.Do exactly as I say. Amy, please. Keep concentrating. You can do this. [AMY] I can't. [DOCTOR] You can. You can do it. I can't help you unless you do. Comeon. We can still save his memory. Come on, Amy. Please. Come on, Amy,come on. Amy, please. Don't let anything distract you. Remember Rory.Keep remembering. Rory's only alive in your memory. You must keep holdof him. Don't let anything distract you. Rory still lives in your mind. [AMY] What were you saying? [MO] I have seen some things today, but this is beyond mad. [AMY] Doctor. Five seconds till it all goes up. --------------------------------------- (Graveyard) [AMY] All Nasreen's work just erased. [MO] Good thing she's not here to see it. She's going to give Tony hellwhen they wake up. --------------------------------------- (Church porch) [AMBROSE] You could've let those things shoot me.You saved me. [DOCTOR] An eye for an eye. It's never the way. Now you show your sonhow wrong you were, how there's another way. You make him the best ofhumanity, in the way you couldn't be. --------------------------------------- (Graveyard) [AMY] You're very quiet. Oh. Hey, look. There I am again. Hello, me. [DOCTOR] Are you okay? [AMY] I thought I saw someone else there for a second. I need a holiday.Didn't we talk about Rio? [DOCTOR] You go in. Just fix this lock. Keeps jamming. [AMY] You boys and your locksmithery. [ELDANE] Now, as my people awaken from their thousand year sleep readyto rise to the surface, my thoughts turn back to the Doctor. The losseshe suffered then and the greater loses that were still to come.

Isomorphic. There's no such thing. [DOCTOR] These controls are isomorphic. [SARDICK] The skies of this entire world are mine. My family tamed them,and now I own them. [DOCTOR] Tamed the sky? What does that mean? [SARDICK] It means I'm Kazran Sardick. How can you possibly not know whoI am? [DOCTOR] Well, just easily bored, I suppose. So, I need your help, then.

[AMY] Have you got a plan yet? --------------------------------------- (Sardicktown) [DOCTOR] Yes, I do. --------------------------------------- (Starliner) [AMY] Are you lying? --------------------------------------- (Sardicktown) [DOCTOR] Yes, I am. --------------------------------------- (Starliner) [AMY] Don't treat me like an idiot. [RORY] Was he lying? [AMY] No, no. [DOCTOR [OC]] Okay --------------------------------------- (Sardicktown) [DOCTOR] The good news. I've tracked the machinethat unlocks the cloud belt. I could use it to clear you a flightcorridor and you could land easily. --------------------------------------- (Starliner) [AMY] Oh, hey. Hey, that's great news. --------------------------------------- (Sardicktown) [DOCTOR] But I can't control the machine. --------------------------------------- (Starliner) [AMY] Less great. --------------------------------------- (Sardicktown) [DOCTOR] But I've met a man who can. [AMY] Ah, well --------------------------------------- (Starliner) [AMY] There you go. --------------------------------------- (Sardicktown) [DOCTOR] And he hates me. [AMY [OC]] Were you being --------------------------------------- (Starliner) [AMY] Extra charming and clever? --------------------------------------- (Sardicktown) [DOCTOR] Yeah. How did you know? --------------------------------------- (Starliner) [AMY] Lucky guess. --------------------------------------- (Sardicktown) [BENJAMIN] Sir? Sir. [DOCTOR] Hang on. [BENJAMIN] I've never seen anybody stand up to Mister Sardick like that.Bless you, sir, and merry Christmas. [DOCTOR] Merry Christmas. Lovely. Sorry, bit busy. [BENJAMIN] You'd better get inside, sir. The fog's thick tonight, andthere's a fish warning. [DOCTOR] All right, yeah. Sorry, fish? [BENJAMIN] Yeah. You know what they're like when they get a bit hungry. [DOCTOR] Yeah, fish, I know fish. Fish? [BENJAMIN] It's all Mister Sardick's fault, I reckon. He always lets afew fish through the cloud layer when he's in a bad mood. Thank you.Bless you once again, sir. [DOCTOR] Fish? --------------------------------------- (Starliner) [AMY] Doctor, the Captain says we've got less thanan hour. --------------------------------------- (Sardicktown) [AMY [OC]] What should we be doing? [DOCTOR] Fish. [AMY [OC]] Sorry, what? [DOCTOR] Fish that can swim in fog. I love new planets. [AMY [OC]] Doctor. --------------------------------------- (Starliner) [AMY] Doctor, please don't get distracted. --------------------------------------- (Starliner) [DOCTOR] Now, why would people be frightened of you tiny little fellows?Look at you, sweet little fishy-wishies. Mind you, fish in the fog, sothe cloud cover. Ooo. Careful up there. --------------------------------------- (Starliner) [AMY] Oh great, thanks, Doctor, because there was areal danger we were all going to nod off. We've got less than an hour! --------------------------------------- (Sardicktown) [DOCTOR] I know. [TANNOY] Ding dong merrily on high [AMY [OC]] Doctor? --------------------------------------- (Starliner) [AMY] How are you getting us off here? --------------------------------------- (Sardicktown) [DOCTOR] Oh, just give me a minute. Can't use theTardis, because it can't lock on. So, that ship needs to land. But itcan't land unless a very bad man suddenly decides to turn nice just intime for Christmas Day. --------------------------------------- (Starliner) [AMY] Doctor, I can't hear you. What is that? Isthat singing? --------------------------------------- (Sardicktown) [DOCTOR] A Christmas carol. --------------------------------------- (Starliner) [AMY] A what? --------------------------------------- (Sardicktown) [DOCTOR] A Christmas carol. --------------------------------------- (Starliner) [AMY] A what? --------------------------------------- (Sardicktown) [DOCTOR] A Christmas Carol!

I'm twelve and a half, andthis is my bedroom. --------------------------------------- (Main room) [SARDICK] Top secret special project. --------------------------------------- (Kazran's bedroom) [KAZRAN] This is my top secret special project. Formy eyes only. Merry Christmas. [ELLIOT [OC]] Kazran! --------------------------------------- (Main room) [ELLIOT [on screen]] Kazran! Kazran, what are you doing? What are youdoing? I've warned you before about this, you stupid, ignorant,ridiculous child. [KAZRAN [on screen]] I was just going to make a film of the fish. [ELLIOT [on screen]] The fish are dangerous. [KAZRAN [on screen]] I just want to see them. [ELLIOT [on screen]] Don't be stupid. You're far too young. [KAZRAN [on screen]] Everyone at school's seen the fish. [ELLIOT [on screen]] That's enough. You'll be singing to them next, likegypsies. [KAZRAN [on screen]] The singing works. I've seen it. The fish like thesinging. [ELLIOT [on screen]] What does it matter what fish like? [KAZRAN [on screen]] People say we don't have to be afraid of the fish.They're not really interested in us. [ELLIOT [on screen]] You don't listen to people. You listen to me. [KAZRAN [on screen]] Ow! I'm sorry, Father. [ELLIOT [on screen]] This is my house. While you're under my roof,you'll obey my instructions. I don't care what you [DOCTOR] It's okay, it's okay. [SARDICK] What have you done? What is this? [DOCTOR] Found it on an old drive. Sorry about the picture quality. Hadto recover the data using quantum enfolding and a paperclip. Oh, Iwouldn't bother calling your servants. They quit. Apparently they wonthe lottery at exactly the same time, which is a bit lucky when youthink about it. [SARDICK] There isn't a lottery. [DOCTOR] Yeah, as I say, lucky. [ELLIOT [on screen]] There's a fog warning tonight. You keep thesewindows closed, understand? Closed. [SARDICK] Who are you? [DOCTOR] Tonight, I'm a Ghost Of Christmas Past. [ELLIOT [on screen]] Mrs Mantovani will be looking after you tonight.You stay here till she comes. Do you understand? Do you understand? [DOCTOR] Did you ever get to see a fish, back then, when you were a kid? [SARDICK] What does that matter to you? [DOCTOR] Look how it mattered to you. [SARDICK] I cried all night, and I learned life's most invaluablelesson. [DOCTOR] Ah. Which is? [SARDICK] Nobody comes. Get out! Get out of my house! [DOCTOR] Okay. Okay, but I'll be back. Way back. Way, way back. [DOCTOR [on screen]] See? Back. [KAZRAN [on screen]] Who are you? [DOCTOR [on screen]] Hi. I'm the Doctor. I'm your new babysitter. [KAZRAN [on screen]] Where's Mrs Mantovani? [DOCTOR [on screen]] Oh, you'll never guess. Clever old Mrs Manters, sheonly went and won the lottery. [SARDICK] There isn't any lottery. [KAZRAN [on screen]] There isn't any lottery. [DOCTOR [on screen]] I know. What a woman. [KAZRAN [on screen]] If you're my babysitter, why are you climbing inthe window? [DOCTOR] Because if I was climbing out of the window, I'd be going inthe wrong direction. Pay attention. [KAZRAN [on screen]] But Mrs Mantovani's always my babysitter. [DOCTOR [on screen]] Times change. Wouldn't you say? You see? ChristmasPast. [KAZRAN [on screen]] Who are you talking to? [DOCTOR [on screen]] You. Now, your past is going to change. That meansyour memories will too. Bit scary, but you'll get the hang of it. [KAZRAN [on screen]] I don't understand. [DOCTOR [on screen]] I'll bet you don't. I wish I could see your face. [SARDICK] But that never happened. But it did. --------------------------------------- (Kazran's bedroom) [DOCTOR] Right then, your bedroom. Great. Let's see.You're twelve years old, so we'll stay away from under the bed.Cupboard! Big cupboard. I love a cupboard. Do you know, there's a thingcalled a face spider. It's just like a tiny baby's head with spiderlegs, and it's specifically evolved to scuttle up the backs of bedroomcupboards which, yeah, I probably shouldn't have mentioned. Right. So.What are we going to do? Eat crisps and talk about girls? I've neveractually done that, but I bet it's easy. Girls? Yeah? [KAZRAN] Are you really a babysitter? [DOCTOR] I think you'll find I'm universally recognised as a mature andresponsible adult. [KAZRAN] It's just a lot of wavy lines. [DOCTOR] Yeah, it's shorted out. Finally, a lie too big. Okay, no, notreally a babysitter, but it's Christmas Eve. You don't want a real one.You want me. [KAZRAN] Why? What's so special about you? [DOCTOR] Have you ever seen Mary Poppins? [KAZRAN] No. [DOCTOR] Good. Because that comparison would've been rubbish. Fish inthe fog. Fish in the clouds. How do people ever get bored? How didboredom even get invented? [KAZRAN] My dad's invented a machine to control the cloud belt. Tame thesky, he says. The fish'll be able to come down, but only when we letthem. We can charge whatever we like. [DOCTOR] Yeah. I've seen your dad's machine. [KAZRAN] What? You can't have. [DOCTOR] Tame the sky. Human beings. You always manage to find theboring alternative, don't you? You want to see one? A fish. We can dothat. We can see a fish. [KAZRAN] Aren't you going to tell me it's dangerous? [DOCTOR] Dangerous? Come on, we're boys. And you know what boys say inthe face of danger. [KAZRAN] What? [DOCTOR] Mummy. --------------------------------------- (Cupboard) [KAZRAN] Are there any face spiders in here? [DOCTOR] Nah, not at this time of night. They'll all be sleeping in yourmattress.So, why are you so interested in fish? [KAZRAN] Because they're scary. [KAZRAN] What kind of tie is that? [DOCTOR] A cool one. [KAZRAN] Why is it cool? [DOCTOR] Why are you really interested in fish? [KAZRAN] My school. During the last fog belt, the nets broke and therewas an attack. Loads of them. A whole shoal. No one was hurt, but itwas the most fish ever seen below the mountains. [DOCTOR] Were you scared? [KAZRAN] I wasn't there. I was off sick. [DOCTOR] Ooo, lucky you. Not lucky. [KAZRAN] It's all anyone ever talks about now. The day the fish came.Everyone's got a story. [DOCTOR] But you don't. --------------------------------------- (Main room) [DOCTOR [on screen]] I see. [KAZRAN [on screen]] Why are you recording this? [DOCTOR [on screen]] Do you pay attention at school, Kazran? --------------------------------------- (Cupboard) [KAZRAN] Sorry, what? [DOCTOR] Because you're not paying attention now. [DOCTOR] Shush. --------------------------------------- (Main room) [SARDICK] Now I remember. No, Doctor, you mustn't! [KAZRAN [on screen]] Doctor, are you sure? --------------------------------------- (Cupboard) [DOCTOR] Trust me. [KAZRAN] Okay. [DOCTOR] Oi. Eyes on the tie. Look at me. I wear it and I don't care.Trust me. --------------------------------------- (Main room) [SARDICK] Yes. --------------------------------------- (Cupboard) [KAZRAN] Yes. [DOCTOR] That's why it's cool. --------------------------------------- (Kazran's bedroom) [DOCTOR] Hello, fishy. Let's see. Interesting. Crystalline fog, eh?Maybe carrying a tiny electrical charge. Is that how you fly, littlefishy? [KAZRAN [OC]] What is it? --------------------------------------- (Cupboard) [KAZRAN] What kind? Can I see? [DOCTOR [OC]] Just stay there a moment. --------------------------------------- (Kazran's bedroom) [KAZRAN [OC]] Is it big? [DOCTOR] Nah, just a little one. So, little fellow, what do you eat? --------------------------------------- (Cupboard) [KAZRAN] How little? --------------------------------------- (Kazran's bedroom) [DOCTOR] Er. [KAZRAN [OC]] Can I come out? [DOCTOR] No, no. Maybe just wait there for a moment. [KAZRAN [OC]] What colour is it? [DOCTOR] Big. Big colour. --------------------------------------- (Cupboard) [KAZRAN] What's happening? [DOCTOR] Well, concentrating on the plusses, you've definitely got astory of your own now. Also, I got a good look at the fish, and I thinkI understand how the fog works, which is going to help me land aspaceship in the future and save a lot of lives. And I bet I get somevery interesting readings off my sonic screwdriver when I get it backfrom the shark in your bedroom. [KAZRAN] There's a shark in my bedroom? [DOCTOR] Oh fine, focus on that part. [KAZRAN] Has it gone? What's it doing? [DOCTOR] What do you call it if you don't have any feet, and you'retaking a run-up? --------------------------------------- (Main room) [SARDICK] No! It's going to eat us. --------------------------------------- (Cupboard) [KAZRAN] It's going to eat us. It's going to eat us.It's going to eat us. Is it going to eat us? [DOCTOR] Well, maybe we're going to eat it, but I don't like the odds.It's stuck, though. Let's see. Tiny shark brain. If I had myscrewdriver, I could probably send a pulse and stun it. [KAZRAN] Well, where's your screwdriver? [DOCTOR] Well, concentrating on the plusses, within reach. You know,there's a realchance the way it's wedged in the doorway is keeping its mouth open. [KAZRAN] There is? [DOCTOR] Just agree with me, because I've only got two goes, and thenit's your turn. [KAZRAN] Two goes? [DOCTOR] Two arms. Right, then. Okay. Geronimo. Open wide. --------------------------------------- (Balcony) [DOCTOR] What's the big fishy done to you? Swallowed half of you, that'swhat. Half a screwdriver, what use is that? Bad, big fishy. [KAZRAN] Doctor? I think she's dying. [DOCTOR] Half my screwdriver's still inside, but yeah, I think so. Idoubt they can survive long outside the cloud belt. Just quick raidingtrips on a foggy night. [KAZRAN] Can't we get it back up there? We were just going to stun it. Ididn't want to kill it. [DOCTOR] She was trying to eat you. [KAZRAN] She was hungry. --------------------------------------- (Main room) [DOCTOR [OC]] I'm sorry, Kazran. I can't save her. --------------------------------------- (Balcony) [DOCTOR] I could take her back up there, but she'dnever survive the trip. We need a fully functioning life-support. --------------------------------------- (Main room) [KAZRAN [OC]] You mean like an icebox? --------------------------------------- (Balcony) [KAZRAN] Okay. --------------------------------------- (Main room) [DOCTOR] Ooo, a tree. --------------------------------------- (Outside the Cryovault) [DOCTOR] What is this? [KAZRAN] The surplus population. That's what my Dad calls it. [KAZRAN] Oh, it's not turning. Oh, why won't it turn? [DOCTOR] Ah, what's the number? --------------------------------------- (Main room) [SARDICK] Seven two five eight. --------------------------------------- (Outside the Cryovault) [KAZRAN] I don't know. [DOCTOR] This place is full of alarms. It's not just the door. I needthe number. --------------------------------------- (Main room) [SARDICK] Seven two five eight. --------------------------------------- (Outside the Cryovault) [DOCTOR] I need the number. [KAZRAN] I'm not allowed to know until I'm older. --------------------------------------- (Main room) [SARDICK] Seven two five eight. [DOCTOR] Just what I was after. Thank you. --------------------------------------- (Outside the Cryovault) [DOCTOR] Seven two five eight. Seven two five eight. --------------------------------------- (Cryovault) [DOCTOR] Ah, there's fish down here, too. [KAZRAN] Yeah, but only tiny ones. The house is built on a fog lake,that's how Dad freezes the people. They're all full, but we couldborrow one. Yeah, this one. [DOCTOR] Hello again. [KAZRAN] You know her? [DOCTOR] Why her? Important, is she? [KAZRAN] She won't mind. She loves the fish. [ABIGAIL] My name is Abigail Pettigrew, and I'm very grateful for MisterSardick's kindness. My father [KAZRAN] She starts to talk about the fish in a minute. [ABIGAIL] But I would not allow it. I could not have chosen this pathwere it not for the compassion and generosity of the greatphilanthropist and patron of the poor, Mister Elliot Sardick. But I'malso surrounded by the fish, the beautiful, iridescent, magical fish. [DOCTOR] Why are these people here? [ABIGAIL] they dash beneath the light as they dart through the fog. [DOCTOR] What's all this for? [KAZRAN] My dad lends money. He always takes a family member as, hecalls it security. [DOCTOR] Hard man to love, your dad. But I suppose you know that. [ABIGAIL] Nature. I am not alone, and I am at peace. [KAZRAN] What's wrong? [DOCTOR] Just my half a screwdriver trying to repair itself. It'ssignalling the other half. [KAZRAN] The other half's inside the shark. [DOCTOR] Yeah? Sounds like she's woken up. Okay, so it's homing on thescrewdriver. --------------------------------------- (Main room) [SARDICK] Run! Run! [ABIGAIL] (sings) In the bleak midwinter, frosty wind made moan. Earthstood hard as iron, water like a stone. Snow had fallen, snow on snow,snow on snow. In the bleak midwinter long ago. [DOCTOR] It's not really the singing, of course. [KAZRAN] Yes, it is. [DOCTOR] Nah. [KAZRAN] The fish love the singing. It's true. [DOCTOR] Nah. The notes resonate in the ice crystals, causing a deltawave pattern in the fog. Ow. A fish bit me. [KAZRAN] Shut up, then. [ABIGAIL] Heaven and earth shall flee away [DOCTOR] Of course. That's how the machine controls the cloud belt. Theclouds are ice crystals. If you vibrate the crystals at exactly theright frequency, you could align them into ow! Why do they keep bitingme? [KAZRAN] Look, the fish like the singing, okay? Now shut up. [DOCTOR] Okay. [ABIGAIL] In the bleak midwinter, falling down before, the ox and assand camel which adore. --------------------------------------- (Main room) [SARDICK] It's bigger on --------------------------------------- (Cryovault) [KAZRAN] The inside. [DOCTOR] Yeah, it's the colour. Really knocks the walls back. [DOCTOR] Shark in a box, to go. --------------------------------------- (Main room) [SARDICK] Abigail. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [ABIGAIL] This is amazing. [DOCTOR] Nah, this is transport. I keep amazing out here. [DOCTOR] Come on, then. Let's get this shark out. [KAZRAN] Hey, look at her go. [DOCTOR] Abigail, this number. What does it mean? [ABIGAIL] It pertains to me, sir, not the fish. [DOCTOR] Yeah, but how? [ABIGAIL] You are a doctor, you say? Are you one of mine? [DOCTOR] Do you need a doctor? [DOCTOR] Ah. Sorry. Time's up, kids. [KAZRAN] Why? [DOCTOR] It's nearly Christmas Day. --------------------------------------- (Cryovault) [ABIGAIL] If you should ever wish to visit again. [DOCTOR] Well, you know, if I'm ever in the neighbourhood. [KAZRAN] He comes every Christmas Eve. [DOCTOR] What? [KAZRAN] Yeah, he does. Every time. He promises. [DOCTOR] No, I don't. [DOCTOR + KAZRAN] Merry Christmas! [ABIGAIL] Doctor! What are we going to do? [KAZRAN] The Doctor's got a great plan. Wait till you hear. --------------------------------------- (Sardicktown) [ABIGAIL] You are out of your mind. This will neverwork. [DOCTOR] Oh, don't think shark, think dolphin. [ABIGAIL] A shark isn't a dolphin. [DOCTOR] It's nearly a dolphin. [ABIGAIL] No, it isn't. [DOCTOR] That's where you're wrong, because. Shut up. [KAZRAN] It could be anywhere. Will it really come? [DOCTOR] No chance. Completely impossible. Except at Christmas. [KAZRAN] How are we going to get back? [DOCTOR] I don't know. [ABIGAIL] Do you have a plan? [DOCTOR] I don't know. --------------------------------------- (Cryovault) [ABIGAIL] Best Christmas Eve ever. [KAZRAN] Till the next one. --------------------------------------- (Main room) [SARDICK] New memories. How can I have new memories? --------------------------------------- (Cryovault) [DOCTOR + KAZRAN] Merry Christmas! [ABIGAIL] Doctor. Where to this time? [DOCTOR] Did I mention, at any point, all of time and space? [DOCTOR + KAZRAN] Merry Christmas! [ABIGAIL] Doctor. [DOCTOR] Merry Christmas! [ABIGAIL] Doctor. [DOCTOR + KAZRAN] Merry Christmas! [ABIGAIL] Kazran. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [ABIGAIL] You've grown. [KAZRAN] Yes. [ABIGAIL] And now you're blushing. [KAZRAN] I'm sorry. [ABIGAIL] That's okay. [KAZRAN] So, Doctor, where this time? [DOCTOR] Pick a Christmas Eve. I've got them all right here. [ABIGAIL] Might I make a request? [DOCTOR] Of course. [ABIGAIL] This one. --------------------------------------- (Outside Eric's home) [ERIC [OC]] Thank you, darling. [KAZRAN] Who are they? [DOCTOR] Her family. The lady's her sister. I met her once, when she wasolder. [KAZRAN] Abigail's crying. [DOCTOR] Yes. [KAZRAN] When girls are crying, are you supposed to talk to them? [DOCTOR] I have absolutely no idea. [ABIGAIL] My sister's family. They're so happy. [KAZRAN] They look very poor. [ABIGAIL] They are very poor. Doesn't mean you can't be happy. [ERIC [OC]] Close the curtains. [KAZRAN] And then why aren't you? [ABIGAIL] Because this is the life I can never have. [KAZRAN] Why not? [ABIGAIL] I think you're blushing again. [DOCTOR] Come in. --------------------------------------- (Eric's home) [DOCTOR] Pick a card. Any card at all. [ISABELLA] Every Christmas Eve? I don't understand. [ABIGAIL] I'm not sure I do. [DOCTOR] You memorise the card, you put it back in the deck. Don't letme see it. [ERIC] Is this what it looked like last year? [ISABELLA] It doesn't have to be exactly the same. [ERIC] I'm starting again. Come on, Kazran, we're starting again. [ISABELLA] That's Sardick's boy, isn't it? [ABIGAIL] He's not like his father. [ISABELLA] His father treats everyone like cattle. One day that boy willdo the same. [ABIGAIL] No. He's different. [DOCTOR] The three of clubs. [BEN] No. [DOCTOR] You sure? Because I'm very good at card tricks. [BEN] It wasn't the three of clubs. [DOCTOR] Well, of course it wasn't, because it was the seven ofdiamonds. [BEN] No. [DOCTOR] Oi, stop it, you're doing it wrong. [ISABELLA] I see him around the town sometimes. Never any friends. [ABIGAIL] He's got me. [ISABELLA] All those Christmas Eves, you never once came to see us. [ABIGAIL] I'm here now. [ISABELLA] Then stay. Stay for tomorrow. Have Christmas dinner with us. [ABIGAIL] I can't. [ISABELLA] Well, then. Tomorrow's Christmas dinner is cancelled, as mysister refuses to attend. [ABIGAIL] Isabella [ISABELLA] Instead, we'll have it tonight. [DOCTOR] Three, two, one, pull! [BEN] How did you do that? [DOCTOR] Your card, I believe. [BEN] No. [DOCTOR] Oh, shut up. [KAZRAN] Er, Merry Christmas. [ALL] Merry Christmas. --------------------------------------- (Cryovault) [ABIGAIL] Best Christmas Eve ever. [DOCTOR] Ah. Till the next one. [ABIGAIL] I look forward to it. Now I'd like to say good night toKazran. [DOCTOR] Of course, yes. Well, on you go. Oh. Oh. Yes. Right. Sorry.I'll, er, I'll go, then. Good night. (to Kazran) Good luck. Night. Goodnight. [DOCTOR] Sorry. [KAZRAN] Doctor. I, er, I think she's going to kiss me. [DOCTOR] Yeah, I think you're right. [KAZRAN] I've never kissed anyone before. What do I do? [DOCTOR] Well, try and be all nervous and rubbish and a bit shaky. [KAZRAN] Why? [DOCTOR] Because you're going to be like that anyway. Might as well makeit part of the plan, then it'll feel on purpose. Off you go, then. [KAZRAN] What, now? I kiss her now? [DOCTOR] Kazran, trust me. It's this or go to your room and design a newkind of screwdriver. Don't make my mistakes. Now, go. --------------------------------------- (Hollywood 1952) [KAZRAN] Abigail, are you coming back? The Doctor is going to do a duetwith Frank. Abigail? What's wrong? [ABIGAIL] I have something to tell you. [KAZRAN] A bad thing? [ABIGAIL] A very bad thing. [KAZRAN] What is it? [ABIGAIL] The truth. [DOCTOR] Guys, we've really got to go quite quickly. I just accidentallygot engaged to Marilyn Monroe. How do you keep going like that? Do youbreathe out your ears? Hello? Sorry. Hello? Guys, she's phoned achapel. There's a car outside. This is happening now. [MARILYN] Yoo-hoo! [DOCTOR] Yoo-hoo. Right. Fine. Thank you. I'll just go and get marriedthen, shall I? See how you like that. Marilyn? Get your coat! [KAZRAN] What are we going to do? [ABIGAIL] There is nothing to be done. --------------------------------------- (Cryovault) [KAZRAN] Good night, Abigail. [ABIGAIL] Good night, Kazran. [DOCTOR] There we go. Another day, another Christmas Eve. I'll see youin a minute, eh? I mean, a year. [KAZRAN] Doctor? Listen, why don't we leave it? [DOCTOR] Sorry, leave what? [KAZRAN] Oh, you know, this. Every Christmas Eve. It's getting a bitold. [DOCTOR] Old? [KAZRAN] Well, Christmas is for kids, isn't it? I've got some work withmy dad now. I'm going to focus on that. Get that cloud belt undercontrol. [DOCTOR] Sorry, I didn't realise I was boring you. [KAZRAN] Not your fault. Times change. [DOCTOR] Not as much as I'd hoped. Kazran. I'll be needing a new one,anyway. What the hell. [DOCTOR] Merry Christmas. And if you ever need me, just activate it.I'll hear you. [KAZRAN] I won't need you. [DOCTOR] What's happened? What are you not telling me? What aboutAbigail? [KAZRAN] I know where to find her. [DOCTOR] Yeah. --------------------------------------- (Main room) [ELLIOT] Another Christmas Eve, Kazran. But a very special one. It'scomplete. Look at it. Sound waves. As simple as that. We can controlthe clouds, the fog, the fish. [KAZRAN] Why do we want to control the fish? [ELLIOT] People are cattle. If you want to control cattle, you need tocontrol their predators. What's the face for? Look what I'm giving you.The sky, and everything beneath it. Only you and I can control this.This planet is ours. [KAZRAN] Excuse me, Father. [SARDICK] Yes, what? Oh, Mister President, we've been through this. It'snot going to crash on my house, so what's it got to do with me? Yes, Iknow. four thousand and three. As a very old friend of mine once took avery long time to explain, life isn't fair. [AMY] Hello. [SARDICK] Who are you? What are you doing here? [AMY] You didn't think this was over, did you? I'm the Ghost ofChristmas Present. [SARDICK] A ghost? Dressed like that? [RORY] Eyes off the skirt. [SARDICK] You turned into a Roman. [AMY] Yeah. Yeah, I do that. I also do this. [SARDICK] Do what? What are you talking about? [VOICES [OC]] Silent night, holy night. --------------------------------------- (Cryovault) [PEOPLE] (sing) All is calm, all is bright, roundyon virgin mother and child, Holy infant so tender and mild. Christ theSaviour is born. Christ the Saviour is born. [AMY] They're holograms. Projections, like me. [SARDICK] Who are they? [AMY] The people on the ship up there. The ones that you're going to letdie tonight. [SARDICK] Why are they singing? [AMY] For their lives. Which one's Abigail? The Doctor told me. [SARDICK] Did he now? [AMY] AH, he doesn't hold back. You know the Doctor. [SARDICK] How do I? I never met him before tonight. Now I seem to haveknown him all my life. How? Why? [AMY] You're the only person who can let that ship land. He was tryingto turn you into a nicer person. And he was trying to do it nicely. [SARDICK] He's changed my past, my whole life. [AMY] Time can be rewritten. [SARDICK] You tell the Doctor. Tell him from me, people can't. [AMY] That's Abigail? [SARDICK] I would never have known her if the Doctor hadn't changed thecourse of my whole life to suit himself. [AMY] Well, that's good, isn't it? [SARDICK] No. [AMY] Why is she still in there? You could let her out any time. [SARDICK] Oh, yes. Any time at all. Any time I choose. [AMY] Then why don't you? [SARDICK] This is what the Doctor did to me. Abigail was ill when shewent into the ice. On the point of death. I suppose the rest in the icehelped her. But she's used up her time. All those Christmas Eves withme. I could release her any time I want, and she would live a singleday. So tell me, Ghost of Christmas Present, how do I choose which day? [AMY] I'm sorry. I really am. I'm very, very sorry. But you know what?She's got more time left than I have. More than anyone on this ship. [SARDICK] Good. [AMY] Rory, widen the beam. --------------------------------------- (Starliner) [CAPTAIN] Status update on engine one. [SARDICK] How did I get here? [AMY] You didn't. It's your turn to be the hologram. Since you're goingto let a lot of people die, I thought you might like to see where it'sall going to happen. [SARDICK] The singing. What is it? I don't understand. [RORY] It's the Doctor's idea. The harmonies resonate in the icecrystals, that's why thee fish like it. He thought maybe it wouldstabilise the ship. But it isn't working. It's not powerful enough. [SARDICK] Why are they still singing, then? [CAPTAIN] Because we haven't told them. Sir, I understand you have amachine that controls this cloud layer. If you can release us from it,we still have time to make a landing. Nobody has to die. [SARDICK] Everybody has to die. [AMY] Not tonight. [SARDICK] Tonight's as good as any other. How do you choose? [AMY] Doctor? [DOCTOR [OC]] Yeah? [AMY] Are you hearing this? [DOCTOR [OC]] I can hear. [SARDICK] He's here? Where is he? Doctor? --------------------------------------- (Cryovault) [SARDICK] Doctor! [DOCTOR] I'm sorry. I didn't realise. [SARDICK] All my life, I've been called heartless. My other life, myreal life, the one you rewrote. Now look at me. [DOCTOR] Better a broken heart than no heart at all. [SARDICK] Oh, try it. You try it. Why are you here? [DOCTOR] Because I'm not finished with you yet. You've seen the past,the present, and now you need to see the future. [SARDICK] Fine. Do it. Show me. I'll die cold, alone and afraid. Ofcourse I will. We all do. What difference does showing me make? Do youknow why I'm going to let those people die? It's not a plan. I don'tget anything from it. It's just that I don't care. I'm not like you. Idon't even want to be like you. I don't and never, ever will care. [DOCTOR] And I don't believe that. [SARDICK] Then show me the future. Prove me wrong. [DOCTOR] I am showing it to you. I'm showing it to you right now. Sowhat do you think? Is this who you want to become, Kazran? [KAZRAN] Dad? [ELLIOT [memory]] This planet is ours. [SARDICK] I'm sorry. I'm so, so sorry. It's okay, don't be frightened.I'm, I'm so, so, so [DOCTOR] Kazran. We don't have much time. --------------------------------------- (Starliner) [CO-PILOT] Structural integrity at thirty percent. [CAPTAIN] We have five minutes max. We need to land. [DOCTOR [on viewscreen]] Hello? Hello? Ah, hello, everyone. Prepare tolock on to my signal. [AMY] Doctor, what's happening? [DOCTOR [on viewscreen]] I just saved Christmas. Don't go away. [AMY] Doctor? Doctor! --------------------------------------- (Main room) [DOCTOR] We good to go, then? [SARDICK] The controls, they won't respond. [DOCTOR] Of course they will. They're isomorphic. They're tuned to yourbrainwaves. They'll only respond to you. [SARDICK] They won't respond. [DOCTOR] That doesn't make sense. That's ridiculous. Why wouldn't? Oh.Oh, of course. Stupid, stupid Doctor. [SARDICK] What's wrong? Tell me, what is it? [DOCTOR] It's you. It's you. I've changed you too much. The machinedoesn't recognise you. [SARDICK] But my father programmed it. [DOCTOR] No, your father would never have programmed it for the man youare now. [SARDICK] Then what do we do? [DOCTOR] Er, er, I don't know. I don't know. [KAZRAN] There must be something. [SARDICK] This. You can use this. I kept it, see? [DOCTOR] What, half a screwdriver? With the other half up in the sky ina big old shark, right in the heart of the cloud layer. If we use youraerial to boost the signal, set up a resonation pattern between the twohalves. Ooo, come on, that would work. My screwdriver, coolest bit ofkit on this planet. Coolest two bits. It could do it. [SARDICK] Do what? [DOCTOR] Well, my screwdriver is still trying to repair. It's signallingitself. We use the signal, but we send something else. [KAZRAN] Send what? [SARDICK] Well, what? What? [DOCTOR] I'm sorry, Kazran. I truly am. [SARDICK] I don't understand. --------------------------------------- (Cryovault) [DOCTOR] Her voice resonates perfectly with the icecrystals. It calmed the shark. It will calm the sky, too. [SARDICK] Could you do it? Could you do this? Think about it, Doctor.One last day with your beloved. Which day would you choose? [ABIGAIL] Christmas. Christmas Day. Look at you. You're so old now. Ithink you waited a bit too long, didn't you? [SARDICK] I'm sorry. [ABIGAIL] Hoarding my days, like an old miser. [SARDICK] But if you leave the ice now [ABIGAIL] We've had so many Christmas Eves, Kazran. I think it's timefor Christmas Day. [SARDICK] Yes. --------------------------------------- (Starliner) [AMY] Doctor! [CAPTAIN] We can't hold this. Time's up. We're going down. [AMY] Doctor! [CO-PILOT] Captain, I've got. I don't know what I've got. [CAPTAIN] What is that? What are you listening to? [CO-PILOT] This is coming from outside. This is coming from the actualclouds. --------------------------------------- (Sardicktown) [ABIGAIL] (sings) When you're alone, silence is all you know. [SARDICK] Well? Well? [DOCTOR] Well, the singing resonates in the crystals. It's feeding backand forth between the two halves of the screwdriver. Now, one song,filling the sky. The crystals will align and I'll feed in a controlledphase loop, and the clouds will unlock. [KAZRAN] What does that mean, unlock? What happens when a cloud unlocks? [DOCTOR] Something that hasn't happened in this town for a very longtime now. [ABIGAIL] (sings) When you're alone, silence is all you see. When you'realone, silence is all you'll be. --------------------------------------- (Starliner) [ABIGAIL [OC]] Give me your hand and come to me. [PILOT] We're flying normally. [CAPTAIN] Can you land? [PILOT] I can even land well. [AMY] Oh, he did it. The Doctor did it. [RORY] Yeah, he gets all the credit. Which is actually fair enough, ifyou think about it. --------------------------------------- (Sardicktown) [ABIGAIL] (sings) When you are here, music is all around. When you arenear, music is all around. Open your eyes, don't make a sound. [SARDICK] Hello, my old friend. [ABIGAIL] (sings) Let in the shadow. [DOCTOR] Let's go. [ABIGAIL] (sings) Let in the shadow, let in the light of your brightshadow. Let in the shadow, let in the shadow. [ABIGAIL] (sings) Let in the light of your bright shadow. [AMY] You know, that could almost be mistaken for a real person. Thesnowman isn't bad, either. [DOCTOR] Ah, yes, you two. About time. Why are you dressed like that? [RORY] Er, kind of lost our luggage. Kind of crash landed? [DOCTOR] Yeah, but why are you dressed like that at all? [AMY] Yeah, they really love their snowmen around here, don't they? I'vecounted about twenty. [DOCTOR] Yeah, I've been busy. [AMY] Yeah. Yeah, you have. Thank you. [DOCTOR] Pleasure. Right, come on then, let's go. [RORY] Got any more honeymoon ideas? [DOCTOR] Well, there's a moon that's made of actual honey. Well, notactual honey, and it's not actually a moon, and technically it's alive,and a bit carnivorous, but there are some lovely views. [RORY] Yeah. Great. Thanks. [AMY] Are you, are you okay? [DOCTOR] Of course I'm okay. You? [AMY] Of course. It'll be their last day together, won't it? [DOCTOR] Everything has got to end some time, otherwise nothing wouldever get started. [RORY] Your phone was ringing. Someone called Marilyn. Actually soundslike the Marilyn. [AMY] Doctor? [DOCTOR] Tell her I'll phone her back. And that was never a real chapel. [AMY] Where are they? Kazran and Abigail. [DOCTOR] Off on a little trip, I should think. [AMY] Where? [DOCTOR] Christmas. [AMY] Christmas? [DOCTOR] Yeah, Christmas. [DOCTOR] Halfway out of the dark.

Doctor Who (23 Apr, 2011; Eleventh Doctor) - The Impossible Astronaut (Palace) [CHARLES] Out of my way! [CHARLES [OC]] Doctor! Doctor! Doctor! Doctor! [CHARLES] Where's the Doctor? [MATILDA] Doctor who? [DOCTOR [OC]] Achoo! [DOCTOR] You know, this isn't nearly as bad as it looks. --------------------------------------- (Kitchen) [AMY] At the personal intervention of the King, the unnamed Doctor wasincarcerated without trial in the Tower of London. [RORY] Okay, but it doesn't have to be him. [AMY] According to contemporary accounts, two nights later, a magicalsphere some twenty feet across, was seen floating away from the tower,bearing the mysterious Doctor aloft. [RORY] Okay. It's him. [AMY] There's more. --------------------------------------- (Tunnel) [SIMMONS] Doctor. Doctor, what can you see? [DOCTOR] Is the commandant's office painted a sort of green colour witha big flag on the wall? [DOCTOR] I think the answer's probably yes. --------------------------------------- (Living room) [AMY] It's like he's being deliberately ridiculous,trying to attract our attention. Are you watching this again? [RORY] Yeah. I've explained the jokes. [RORY] So what are you saying? Do you really think he's back there,trying to wave to us, out of history books? [AMY] Hey, it's the sort of thing he'd do. Thanks. [RORY] Yeah, but why? [AMY] Well, he said he'd be in touch. [RORY] Two months ago. [AMY] Two months is nothing. He's up to something. I know he is. I knowhim. [RORY] What is it? Amy? [AMY] A date, a time, a map reference. I think it's an invitation. [RORY] From who? [AMY] It's not signed. Look, Tardis blue. --------------------------------------- (Stormcage) [GUARD] You'd better get down here, sir. She's doing it again. DoctorSong, sir. She's packing. Says she's going to some planet calledAmerica. --------------------------------------- (Highway) [AMY] Thanks! [DRIVER [OC]] You're very welcome. [AMY] This is it, yeah? The right place? [RORY] Nowhere, middle of? Yeah, this it. [DOCTOR] Howdy. [AMY] Doctor! [DOCTOR] Ha, ha! It's the Pond. [AMY] Hey! [DOCTOR] Hello, Pond. Come here. [AMY] So, someone's been a busy boy then, eh? [DOCTOR] Did you see me? [AMY] Of course. [DOCTOR] Stalker. [AMY] Flirt. [RORY] Husband. [DOCTOR] Rory the Roman! Ooo, come here. [RORY] Hey, nice hat. [DOCTOR] I wear a Stetson now. Stetsons are cool. [RIVER] Hello, sweetie. --------------------------------------- (Diner) [RIVER] Right then, where are we? Have we done Easter Island yet? [DOCTOR] Er, yes! I've got Easter Island. [RIVER] They worshipped you there. Have you seen the statues? [DOCTOR] Jim the fish. [RIVER] Oh! Jim the fish. How is he? [DOCTOR] Still building his dam. [RORY] Sorry, what are you two doing? [AMY] They're both time travellers, so they never meet in the rightorder. They're syncing their diaries. So, what's happening, then?Because you've been up to something. [DOCTOR] I've been running, faster than I've ever run. And I've beenrunning my whole life. Now, it's time for me to stop. And tonight, I'mgoing to need you all with me. [AMY] Okay. We're here. What's up? [DOCTOR] A picnic. And then a trip. Somewhere different, somewhere brandnew. [AMY] Where? [DOCTOR] Space, 1969. --------------------------------------- (Lakeside) [DOCTOR] Salud! [ALL] Salud. [RORY] So, when are going to 1969? [AMY] And since when do you drink wine? [DOCTOR] I'm eleven hundred and three. I must've drunk it sometime. [DOCTOR] Oh, why it's horrid. I thought it would taste more like thegums. [AMY] Eleven hundred and three? You were nine hundred and eight the lasttime we saw you. [DOCTOR] And you've put on a couple of pounds. I wasn't going to mentionit. [AMY] Who's that? [RORY] Hmm? Who's who? [AMY] Sorry, what? [RORY] What did you see? You said you saw something. [AMY] No, I didn't. [DOCTOR] Ah, the moon. Look at it. Of course, you lot did a lot morethan look, didn't you? Big, silvery thing in the sky. You couldn'tresist it. Quite right. [RORY] The moon landing was in 69. Is that where we're going? [DOCTOR] No. A lot more happens in 69 than anyone remembers. Humanbeings. I thought I'd never get done saving you. [AMY] Who's he? [RIVER] Oh, my God. [DOCTOR] You all need to stay back. Whatever happens now, you do notinterfere. Clear? [RORY] That's an astronaut. That's an Apollo astronaut in a lake. [AMY] Yeah. [DOCTOR] Hello. It's okay. I know it's you. [DOCTOR] Well then. [AMY] What's he doing? [AMY] Doctor! [RIVER] Amy, stay back! [RIVER] The Doctor said stay back! You have to stay back! [AMY] No! No! Doctor! [DOCTOR] I'm sorry. [RIVER] No! Doctor! [AMY] Doctor, please! [AMY] River. River! River? No. [RIVER] Of course not. [AMY] River, he can't be dead. This isn't possible. [RIVER] Whatever that was, it killed him in the middle of hisregeneration cycle. His body was already dead. He didn't make it to thenext one. [AMY] Maybe he's a clone or a duplicate or something. [DELAWARE] I believe I can save you some time. That most certainly isthe Doctor. And he is most certainly dead. He said you'd need this. [RORY] Gasoline? [RIVER] A Time Lord's body is a miracle. Even a dead one. There arewhole empires out there who'd rip this world apart for just one cell.We can't leave him here. Or anywhere. [AMY] Wake up. Come on, wake up, you stupid, bloody idiot. What do wedo, Rory? [RIVER] We're his friends. We do what the Doctor's friends always do. Aswe're told. [RORY] There's a boat. If we're going to do this, let's do it properly. [RIVER] Who are you? Why did you come? [DELAWARE] The same reason as you. [DELAWARE] Doctor Song, Amy, Rory. I'm Canton Everett Delaware thethird. I won't be seeing you again, but you'll be seeing me. [RIVER] Four. [RORY] Sorry, what? [RIVER] The Doctor numbered the envelopes. --------------------------------------- (Diner) [RIVER] You got 3, I was 2, Mister Delaware was 4. [RORY] So? [RIVER] So, where's 1? [RORY] What, you think he invited someone else? [RIVER] Well, he must have. He planned all of this, to the last detail. [AMY] Will you two shut up? It doesn't matter. [RIVER] He was up to something. [AMY] He's dead. [RIVER] Space, 1969. What did he mean? [AMY] You're still talking, but it doesn't matter. [RORY] Hey, it mattered to him. [RIVER] So it matters to us. [AMY] He's dead. [RIVER] But he still needs us. I know. Amy, I know. But right now wehave to focus. [RORY] Look. [RORY] Excuse me, who was sitting over there? [BUSBOY] Some guy. [RIVER] The Doctor knew he was going to his death, so he sent outmessages. When you know it's the end, who do you call? [RORY] Er, your friends. People you trust. [RIVER] Number 1. Who did The Doctor trust the most? [RIVER] This is cold. Even by your standards, this is cold. [DOCTOR] Or hello, as people used to say. [AMY] Doctor? [DOCTOR] I just popped out to get my special straw. It adds more fizz. [AMY] You're okay. How can you be okay? [DOCTOR] Hey, of course I'm okay. I'm always okay. I'm the King of Okay.Oh, that's a rubbish title. Forget that title. Rory the Roman! That's agood title. Hello, Rory. And Doctor River Song. Oh, you bad, bad girl.What trouble have you got for me this time? [DOCTOR] Okay. I'm assuming that's for something I haven't done yet. [RIVER] Yes, it is. [DOCTOR] Good. Looking forward to it. [RORY] I don't understand. How can you be here? [DOCTOR] I was invited. Date, map reference. Same as you lot, I assume,otherwise it's a hell of a coincidence. [AMY] River, what's going on? [RIVER] Amy, ask him what age he is. [DOCTOR] That's a bit personal. [RIVER] Tell her. Tell her what age you are. [DOCTOR] Nine hundred and nine. [RIVER] Yeah, but you said you were [RIVER] So where does that leave us, huh? Jim the fish? Have we done Jimthe fish yet? [DOCTOR] Who's Jim the fish? [AMY] I don't understand. [RORY] Yeah, you do. [DOCTOR] I don't! What are we all doing here? [RIVER] We've been recruited. Something to do with space 1969, and a mancalled Canton Everett Delaware the third. [DOCTOR] Recruited by who? [RIVER] Someone who trusts you more than anybody else in the universe. [DOCTOR] And who's that? [RIVER] Spoilers. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] 1969, that's an easy one! Funny, how someyears are easy. Now, 1482, full of glitches. Now then, Canton EverettDelaware the third. That was his name, yeah? How many of those canthere be? Well, three, I suppose. Rory, is everybody cross with me forsome reason? [RORY] I'll find out. --------------------------------------- (Tardis lower level) [AMY] Explain it again. [RIVER] The Doctor we saw on the beach is a future version, two hundredyears older than the one up there. [AMY] But all that's still going to happen. He's still going to die. [RIVER] We're all going to do that, Amy. [RORY] We're not all going to arrange our own wake and invite ourselves.So, the Doctor, in the future, knowing he's going to die, recruits hisyounger self and all of us to, to what, exactly? Avenge him? [RIVER] Uh huh. Avenging's not his style. [AMY] Save him. [RORY] Yeah, that's not really his style either. [AMY] We have to tell him. [RIVER] We've told him all we can. We can't even tell him we've seen hisfuture self. He's interacted with his own past. It could rip a hole inthe universe. [AMY] Yes, but he's done it before. [RORY] And in fairness, the universe did blow up. [AMY] But he'd want to know. [RIVER] Would he? Would anyone? [DOCTOR] I'm being extremely clever up here, and there's no one to standaround looking impressed! What's the point in having you all? [RIVER] Couldn't you just slap him sometimes? [AMY] River, we can't just let him die. We have to stop it. How can yoube okay with this? [RIVER] The Doctor's death doesn't frighten me. Nor does my own. There'sa far worse day coming for me. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] Time isn't a straight line. It's all bumpywumpy. There's loads of boring stuff like Sundays and Tuesdays andThursday afternoons. But now and then there are Saturdays. Big temporaltipping points when anything's possible. The Tardis can't resist them,like a moth to a flame. She loves a party, so I give her 1969 and NASA,because that's space in the sixties, and Canton Everett Delaware thethird, and this is where she's pointing. [AMY] Washington D.C., April the eighth, 1969. So why haven't we landed? [DOCTOR] Because that's not where we're going. [RORY] Oh. Where are we going? [DOCTOR] Home. Well, you two are. Off you pop and make babies. And you,Doctor Song, back to prison. And me? I'm late for a biplane lesson in1911. Or it could be knitting. Knitting or biplanes. One or the other.What? A mysterious summons. You think I'm just going to go? Who sentthose messages? I know you know. I can see it in your faces. Don't playgames with me. Don't ever, ever think you're capable of that. [RIVER] You're going to have to trust us this time. [DOCTOR] Trust you? Sure. But, first of all, Doctor Song, just onething. Who are you? You're someone from my future. Getting that. Butwho? Okay. Why are you in prison? Who did you kill, hmm? Now, I love abad girl, me, but trust you? Seriously. [AMY] Trust me. [DOCTOR] Okay. [AMY] You have to do this, and you can't ask why. [DOCTOR] Are you being threatened? Is someone making you say that? [AMY] No. [DOCTOR] You're lying. [AMY] I'm not lying. [DOCTOR] Swear to me. Swear to me on something that matters. [AMY] Fish fingers and custard. [DOCTOR] My life in your hands, Amelia Pond. [RIVER] Thank you. [DOCTOR] So! Canton Everett Delaware the third. Who's he? --------------------------------------- (Bar) [CANTON] Who wants to know? [CARL] Your boss. [CANTON] I don't have a boss anymore. [CARL] Maybe you want to tell that to the President of the UnitedStates. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [RIVER] Ex FBI. Got kicked out. [DOCTOR] Why? --------------------------------------- (Car) [NIXON [on telephone]] I understand that you have aproblem with authority. [CANTON] Thank you. [NIXON [on telephone]] That's not a compliment, son. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [RIVER] Six weeks after he left the Bureau, thePresident contacted him for a private meeting. [DOCTOR] Yeah, 1969. Who's President? --------------------------------------- (Oval office) [NIXON] This is a personal matter. I need someone onthe outside, someone with FBI training --------------------------------------- (Car) [NIXON [on telephone]] But who's not in contact withthem. [CANTON] I'm flattered. --------------------------------------- (Oval office) [NIXON] You were my second choice for this, MisterDelaware. [CANTON [OC]] That's okay. --------------------------------------- (Car) [CANTON] You were my second choice for President,Mister Nixon. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [RIVER] Richard Milhous Nixon. Vietnam, Watergate.There's some good stuff, too. [DOCTOR] Not enough. [RIVER] Hippie! [DOCTOR] Archaeologist. --------------------------------------- (Oval office) [NIXON] Every day, wherever I am, I get a phonecall. [CANTON] People can't just call you, Mister President. [NIXON] It's a direct call every time. Every day for the last two weeks,usually late at night. [CANTON] Man or woman? [NIXON] Neither. Listen. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] Okay, since I don't know what I'm gettinginto this time, for once I'm being discreet. I'm putting the engines onsilent. [DOCTOR] Did you do something? [RIVER] No, just watching. [DOCTOR] Putting the outer shield on invisible. I haven't done this in awhile. Big drain on the power. [RORY] You can turn the Tardis invisible? [DOCTOR] Ha! [RIVER] Very nearly. [DOCTOR] Er, did you touch something? [RIVER] Just admiring your skills, sweetie. [DOCTOR] Good. You might learn something. Okay. Now I can't check thescanner. It doesn't work when we're cloaked. Just give us a mo. Whoa!Whoa, whoa, whoa. You lot, wait a moment. We're in the middle of themost powerful city in the most powerful country on Earth. Let's take itslow. --------------------------------------- (Oval office) [NIXON [OC]] Hello? Who is this? This is President Nixon. Who's calling?Is this you again? [GIRL [OC]] Mister President? [CANTON] A child. [NIXON [OC]] This is the President, yes. [GIRL [OC]] I'm scared, Mister President. I'm scared of the spaceman. [CANTON] A little girl? [NIXON] Boy. [CANTON] How can you be sure? [NIXON [OC]] What spaceman? Where are you phoning from? Where are youright now? Who are you? [GIRL [OC]] Jefferson Adams Hamilton. [NIXON [OC]] Jefferson, listen to me. [CANTON] Surely this is something the Bureau could handle, sir. [NIXON] These calls happen wherever I am. How do I know the Bureau isn'tinvolved? I can't trust anyone [DOCTOR] Oh. Hello. Bad moment. Oh look, this is the Oval Office. I waslooking for the er, oblong room. I'll just be off, then, shall I? --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [RIVER] Every time. --------------------------------------- (Oval office) [DOCTOR] Don't worry! It always does that when itscloaked. [DOCTOR] Ah, no. Stop that. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [RORY] He said the scanner wouldn't work. [RIVER] I know. Bless. --------------------------------------- (Oval office) [CARL] Lockdown! Lockdown! --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR [on scanner]] Stop that! Argh! Oh! --------------------------------------- (Oval office) [DOCTOR] River, have you got my scanner --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR [on scanner]] Working yet? [RIVER] Oh, I hate him. --------------------------------------- (Oval office) [DOCTOR] No, you don't! [CARL] Get the President out of here. Sir, you have to go with them,now. [DOCTOR] River, make her blue again! [NIXON] What the hell is that? [DOCTOR] Mister President, that child just told you everything you needto know, but you weren't listening. Never mind, though, because theanswer's yes. I'll take the case. Fellows, the guns, really? I justwalked into the highest security office in the United States and parkeda big blue box on the rug. Do you think you can just shoot me? [RIVER] They're Americans! [DOCTOR] Don't shoot. Definitely no shooting. [RORY] Nobody shoot us either. Very much not in need of getting shot.Look, we've got our hands up. [NIXON] Who the hell are you? [CANTON] Sir, you need to stay back. [NIXON] But who are they and what is that box? [DOCTOR] It's a police box. Can't you read? I'm your new undercoveragent on loan from Scotland Yard. Code name the Doctor. These are mytop operatives, the Legs, the Nose, and Mrs Robinson. [RIVER] I hate you. [DOCTOR] No, you don't. [NIXON] Who are you? [DOCTOR] Nah, boring question. Who's phoning you? That's interesting.Because Canton Three is right. That was definitely a girl's voice,which means there's only one place in America she can be phoning from. [CANTON] Where? [CARL] Do not engage with the intruder, Mister Delaware. [CANTON] How did you get it in here? I mean, you didn't carry it in. [DOCTOR] Clever, eh? [CANTON] Love it. [CARL] Do not compliment the intruder. [CANTON] Five minutes? [DOCTOR] Five. [CARL] Mister President, that man is a clear and present danger to [CANTON] Mister President, that man walked in here with a big blue boxand three of his friends, and that's the man he walked past. One ofthem's worth listening to. I say we give him five minutes. See if hedelivers. [DOCTOR] Thanks, Canton. [CANTON] If he doesn't, I'll shoot him myself. [DOCTOR] Not so thanks. [CARL] Sir, I cannot recommend [NIXON] Shut up, Peterson! All right, five minutes. [DOCTOR] I'm going to need a SWAT team, ready to mobilise. Street levelmaps covering all of Florida. A pot of coffee, twelveJammie Dodgers and a fez. [CANTON] Get him his maps. [CANTON] Why Florida? [DOCTOR] There's where NASA is. She mentioned a spaceman. NASA's wherethe spacemen live. Also, there's another lead I'm following. [AMY] A spaceman, like the one we saw at the lake. [RIVER] Maybe. Probably. [AMY [memory]] Who's that? [AMY] I remember. [RORY] Amy? What do you remember? [AMY] I don't know. I just [RORY] Amy, what's wrong? [RIVER] Amy? [DOCTOR] Are you all right? [AMY] Yeah. No, I'm fine. I'm just feeling a little sick. Excuse me, isthere a toilet or something? [CARL] Sorry, ma'am, while this procedure's ongoing, you must remainwithin the Oval office. [CANTON] Shut up and take her to the restroom. [PHIL] This way, ma'am. [AMY] Thanks. [CANTON] Your five minutes are up. --------------------------------------- (Outside the Rest room) [AMY] Actually, I can usually manage this alone. --------------------------------------- (Rest room) [AMY] Argh! I saw you before, at the lake. And here. But then I forgot.How did I forget? What are you? [AMY] Get back. Stay back from it. [JOY] Eek! Oh, my God. What is that? Is that a mask? Is that a Star Trekthing? Ben, is that you? [AMY] Get back from it now! [JOY] Back from what, honey? [AMY] That. [JOY] Eek! Oh, my God! Look at that. Is that a Star Trek mask? Ben,that's got to be you. Hang on, did I just say all that? [AMY] No. Please, you've got to stay back. [JOY] Back, honey? Back from what? [JOY] Oh, those lights. They never fix them. [AMY] Look behind you. [JOY] Honey, there is nothing. Argh! [AMY] You didn't have to kill her. She couldn't even remember you. Howdoes that work? We can only remember you while we're seeing you, isthat it? [AMY] Why did you have to kill her? [SILENCE] Joy. Her name was Joy. Your name is Amelia. You will tell theDoctor. [AMY] Tell him what? [SILENCE] What he must know and what he must never know. [AMY] How do you know about that? [SILENCE] Tell him. --------------------------------------- (Outside the Rest room) [PHIL] Are you okay? [AMY] I'm fine. Much better, thanks. [PHIL] What's that? [AMY] It's my phone. [PHIL] Your phone? [AMY] I have to tell the Doctor. [PHIL] Tell him what, ma'am? [AMY] Sorry, I don't know why I said that. [PHIL] This way, ma'am. --------------------------------------- (Oval office) [CANTON] The kid? [NIXON] Should I answer it? [DOCTOR] Here! The only place in the United States that call could becoming from. See? Obvious, when you think about it. [CANTON] You, sir, are a genius. [DOCTOR] It's a hobby. [CANTON] Mister President, answer the phone. [NIXON] Hello. This is President Nixon. [GIRL [on telephone}] It's here! The spaceman's here! It's going to getme! It's going to eat me! [DOCTOR] There's no time for a SWAT team. Let's go. Mister President,tell her help's on the way. Canton, on no account follow me into thisbox and close the door behind you. [CANTON] What the hell are you doing? [GIRL [on telephone]] Mister President, please help. Please help me! [NIXON] Jefferson, it's all right. I'm sending my best people. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] Jefferson isn't a girl's name. It's not hername either. Jefferson, Adams, Hamilton. River. [RIVER] Surnames of three of America's founding fathers. [DOCTOR] Lovely fellows. Two of them fancied me. [RORY] Are you okay? Coping? [DOCTOR] You see, the President asked the child two questions. Where areyou and who are you? She was answering where. [CANTON] It's bigger on the inside. [RORY] Yeah, you get used to it. [DOCTOR] Now, where would you find three big, historical names in a rowlike that? [AMY] Where? [DOCTOR] Here. Come on. [CANTON] It's er [DOCTOR] Are you taking care of this? [RORY] Why is it always my turn? [AMY] Because you're the newest. --------------------------------------- (Warehouse office) [AMY] Where are we? [DOCTOR] About five miles from Cape Kennedy Space Centre. It's 1969, theyear of the moon. Interesting, don't you think? [AMY] But why would a little girl be here? [DOCTOR] I don't know. Lost me a bit. The President asked the girl whereshe was, and she did what any lost little girl would do. She looked outof the window. [AMY] Streets. Of course, street names. [DOCTOR] The only place in Florida, probably all of America, with thosethree street names on the same junction. And Doctor Song, you've gotthat face on again. [RIVER] What face? [DOCTOR] The he's hot when he's clever face. [RIVER] This is my normal face. [DOCTOR] Yes, it is. [RIVER] Oh, shut up. [DOCTOR] Not a chance. [CANTON] We've moved. How, how can we have moved? [DOCTOR] You haven't even got to space travel yet? [RORY] I was going to cover it with time travel. [CANTON] Time travel. [DOCTOR] Brave heart, Canton. Come on. [CANTON] So we're in a box that's bigger on the inside, and it travelsthrough time and space. [RORY] Yeah, basically. [CANTON] How long have Scotland Yard had this? --------------------------------------- (Warehouse) [RIVER] It's a warehouse of some kind. Disused. [DOCTOR] You realise this is almost certainly a trap, of course? [RIVER] I noticed the phone, yes. [AMY] What about it? [RIVER] It was cut off. So how did the child phone from here? [AMY] Okay, but why would anyone want to trap us? [DOCTOR] Let's see if anyone tries to kill us and work backwards. [RIVER] Now, why would a little girl be here? [DOCTOR] I don't know. Let's find her and ask her. [RIVER] It's nonterrestrial. Definitely alien. Probably not even fromthis time zone. [DOCTOR] Which is odd, because look at this! [RIVER] It's earth tech. It's contemporary. [DOCTOR] It's very contemporary. Cutting edge. This is from the spaceprogram. [RIVER] Stolen? [AMY] What, by aliens? [DOCTOR] Apparently. [AMY] But why? I mean, if you can make it all the way to Earth, whysteal technology that can barely make it to the moon? [DOCTOR] Maybe because it's cooler? Look how cool this stuff is. [AMY] Cool aliens? [DOCTOR] Well, what would you call me? [AMY] An alien. [DOCTOR] Oi! [RORY] I, er, I think he's okay now. [DOCTOR] Ah! Back with us, Canton. [CANTON] I like your wheels. [DOCTOR] That's my boy. So, come on. Little girl. Let's find her. [AMY] River. [RIVER] I know what you're thinking. [AMY] No, you don't. [RIVER] You're thinking if we can find the spaceman in 1969 andneutralise it, then it won't be around in 2011 to kill the Doctor. [AMY] Okay, lucky guess. [RIVER] It's only because I was thinking it too. [AMY] So let's do it. [RIVER] It doesn't work like that. We came here because of what we sawin the future. If we try and prevent the future from happening, wecreate a paradox. [AMY] Time can be rewritten. [RIVER] Not all of it. [AMY] Says who? [RIVER] Who do you think? What's this? [AMY] We can still save him. [RIVER] Doctor? Look at this. [DOCTOR] So where does that go? [RIVER] There's a network of tunnels running under here. [DOCTOR] Life signs? [RIVER] No, nothing that's showing up. [DOCTOR] Those are the worst kind. [DOCTOR] Be careful. [RIVER] Careful? I tried that once. Ever so dull. [DOCTOR] Shout if you get in trouble. [RIVER] Don't worry, I'm quite the screamer. Now there's a spoiler foryou. [CANTON] Tell me what's going on here. [DOCTOR] Er, nothing. She's just a friend. [RORY] I think he's talking about the possible alien incursion. [DOCTOR] Okay. [CANTON] So, I was in a bar having a drink. Tell me, honestly, Am Istill there? [AMY] Afraid not. [RIVER] All clear. Just tunnels. Nothing down there I can see. Er, giveme five minutes. I want to take another look around. [DOCTOR] Stupidly dangerous! [RIVER] Yeah, I like it too. Amy, look after him. [DOCTOR] Rory, would you mind going with her? [RORY] Yeah, a bit. [DOCTOR] Then I'd appreciate it all the more. [RORY] Hang on, River. I'm coming too. --------------------------------------- (Tunnel) [RORY] Are you okay? [RIVER] Ah. Yes, yes. I just felt a bit sick. It's the prison food,probably. Okay, this way? What do you think? [RORY] I keep thinking I hear things. [RIVER] That's interesting. These tunnels are old. Really old. How canthey be really old and nobody notice them? [RORY] It's a maintenance hatch. [RIVER] It's locked. Oh, why do people always lock things? [RORY] What's through there? [RIVER] I've no idea. [RORY] Something bad? [RIVER] Almost definitely. [RORY] You're going to open it, aren't you? [RIVER] Well, it's locked. How's a girl supposed to resist? [RORY] Is this sensible? [RIVER] God, I hope not. [RORY] Oh, you and the Doctor. I can kind of picture it. [RIVER] Keep a look out. [RORY] What did you mean? What you said to Amy. There's a worst daycoming for you. [RIVER] When I first met the Doctor, a long, long time ago, he knew allabout me. Think about that. An impressionable young girl and, suddenlythis man just drops out of the sky and he's clever and mad andwonderful, and knows every last thing about her. Imagine what that doesto a girl. [RORY] I don't really have to. [RIVER] The trouble is, it's all back to front. My past is his future.We're travelling in opposite directions. Every time we meet, I know himmore, he knows me less. I live for the days when I see him, but I knowthat every time I do, he'll be one step further away. And the day iscoming when I'll look into that man's eyes, my Doctor, and he won'thave the faintest idea who I am. And I think it's going to kill me. --------------------------------------- (Chamber) [RORY] What is this place? [RIVER] That's an alarm. Check if anything's coming. [RORY] There's nothing out there. [RIVER] These tunnels, they're not just here, they're everywhere.They're running under the surface of the entire planet. They've beenhere for centuries. [RIVER] Rory! --------------------------------------- (Warehouse) [AMY] So, you were kicked out of the FBI because youhad attitude problems? [CANTON] No, I just wanted to get married. [AMY] Is that a crime? [CANTON] Yes. Doctor who, exactly? [AMY] Ah. That's classified. [CANTON] Classified by who? [AMY] God knows. [CANTON] Do you work for him? [AMY] He's my friend, if friend is the right word. I haven't seen him ina while. I had something I wanted to tell him, but stuff always gets inthe way. [CANTON] Stuff does that. [GIRL [OC]] Help me! Help! Help me! [CANTON] That's her. [DOCTOR] Amy? [GIRL [OC]] Help me! Please! [DOCTOR] What's wrong? [AMY] I need to tell you something. It's important. [CANTON [OC]] Doctor! [AMY] It's really, really important. [CANTON [OC]] Doctor, quickly! [DOCTOR] What, now? [DOCTOR] Canton! Canton, are you okay? [AMY] Is he all right? [DOCTOR] Just unconscious. Got a proper whack. [AMY] Doctor, I need to tell you something. I have to tell you it now. [DOCTOR] Not a great moment. [AMY] No, it's important. It has to be now. [GIRL [OC]] Help! Help me! Help me! [AMY] Doctor, I'm pregnant. [AMY] That's it. The astronaut. [GIRL] Help me! [AMY] Get down! [DOCTOR] What are you doing? [AMY] Saving your life! [DOCTOR] No!

I give you [RORY] Doors. --------------------------------------- (White space) [DOCTOR] Doors. Yes. I give you doors. But on theother side of those doors, I give you sunsets, spires, soaring silvercolonnades. [AMY] Have you seen my phone? [DOCTOR] Your phone? [AMY] Yeah. [DOCTOR] Your mobile telephone? I bring you to a paradise planet, twobillion light years from Earth, and you want to update Twitter. [AMY] Sunsets, spires, soaring silver colonnades. It's a camera phone. [DOCTOR] On the counter, by the DVDs. [AMY] Thank you. [RORY] How do we get in? [DOCTOR] I don't know. Push a button. --------------------------------------- (Green Anchor room) [DOCTOR] Okay, so rain check on the soaring silver colonnades. [RORY] Yeah. It's a magnifying glass. [AMY [OC]] Hey? Hey, it's locked. [RORY] Yeah, push the button. --------------------------------------- (Red Waterfall room) [AMY] Rory? --------------------------------------- (Green Anchor room) [RORY] Come on, Amy. --------------------------------------- (Red Waterfall room) [AMY] Great. --------------------------------------- (Green Anchor room) [RORY] Where is she? Where on wherever we are is my wife? [DOCTOR] Rory, I think I've found her. [RORY] What do you mean you've found her? Whoa. No, but, she's not,she's not here. --------------------------------------- (Red Waterfall room) [RORY [in glass]] I can see her, but she's not here. --------------------------------------- (Green Anchor room) [AMY [in glass]] Where am I? In fact, where are you? [RORY] Whoa. [DOCTOR] Hands. Hello, hands. Robot with hands, Rory. [HANDBOT] Welcome to the Twostreams facility. Will you be visiting long? [AMY [in glass]] Er, Doctor, something's happening. [DOCTOR] Er, Amy? Stay calm. Stay still. Ah, time's gone wobbly. I hateit when it does that. [HANDBOT] Will you be visiting long? [RORY] Good question. Bit sinister. What's the answer to not get uskilled? [DOCTOR] It's okay, I've got you, you're fine. --------------------------------------- (Red Waterfall room) [ROBOT [OC]] Will you be visiting long? [RORY [in glass]] Doctor? A little help, Doctor. [AMY] And where have you been? --------------------------------------- (Green Anchor room) [RORY] What do I tell it? [AMY [in glass]] I've been here a week. --------------------------------------- (Red Waterfall room) [DOCTOR [in glass]] A week? --------------------------------------- (Green Anchor room) [DOCTOR] A week? I'm so sorry. Ah-ha. Same room,different times. Two different timestreams running parallel but atdifferent speeds. Amy, you're in a faster timestream. --------------------------------------- (Red Waterfall room) [AMY] Doctor, it's going again. --------------------------------------- (Green Anchor room) [RORY] Doctor! [DOCTOR] Amy! [AMY [in glass]] Doctor! --------------------------------------- (Red Waterfall room) [DOCTOR [in glass]] Come on. Gotcha. There.Stabilised, settled, shush. --------------------------------------- (Green Anchor room) [RORY] Why has this got hands? [DOCTOR] Organic skin. Ultimate universal interface, grown and grafted,not born. I mean, it's actually seeing with its fingers, scanning theroom. But why not just give it eyes? [HANDBOT] Will you be visiting long? [DOCTOR] As long as it takes. --------------------------------------- (Red Waterfall room) [DOCTOR [in glass]] Amy, what exactly did you do? [AMY] I just, I came in --------------------------------------- (Green Anchor room) [AMY [in glass]] And I pressed the door button. [RORY] Oh. --------------------------------------- (Red Waterfall room) [RORY [in glass]] Amy, there are two buttons. Thegreen anchor and the red waterfall. --------------------------------------- (Green Anchor room) [RORY] Which one did you push? [AMY [in glass]] I pushed the red waterfall. [RORY] Great. --------------------------------------- (White space) [RORY] Amy? --------------------------------------- (Green Anchor room) [RORY] I pressed Red Waterfall, and she wasn'tthere. [DOCTOR] Okay, so you can't follow her directly. You know, it's neversimple. Did you hear that, Handbot? She pressed the wrong button,that's all. We're aliens, we didn't know. [HANDBOT] Statement rejected. Apalapucia is under planet-widequarantine. This is a kindness facility for those infected withChen Seven. [DOCTOR] What? [RORY] Chen Seven, hmm? [DOCTOR] The one day plague. [RORY] What, you get it for a day? [DOCTOR] No, you get it, and you die in a day. [HANDBOT] There are forty thousand residents in the Twostreams Facility.Please remain in the sterile areas. Visiting hours are now. [DOCTOR] Sterile area. I'm safe. --------------------------------------- (Red Waterfall room) [AMY] What about me? --------------------------------------- (Green Anchor room) [DOCTOR] Chen Seven only affects two-hearted raceslike Apalapucians. --------------------------------------- (Red Waterfall room) [RORY [in glass]] And Time Lords. [DOCTOR [in glass]] Yeah, like me. Walk into that facility, I'm dead ina day. --------------------------------------- (Green Anchor room) [DOCTOR] Time moves faster on Amy's side of theglass. --------------------------------------- (Red Waterfall room) [DOCTOR [in glass]] Amy, you said you'd been here aweek. What did you eat? --------------------------------------- (Green Anchor room) [AMY [in glass]] Nothing. I wasn't hungry. --------------------------------------- (Red Waterfall room) [DOCTOR [in glass]] No, because that Red Waterfalltime is compressed. That's the point. The Time Glass syncs up the --------------------------------------- (Green Anchor room) [DOCTOR] Two timestreams for visits. You could be inhere for a day, and watch them live out their entire lives. [RORY] And watch them grow old in front of your eyes? --------------------------------------- (Red Waterfall room) [RORY [in glass]] That's horrible. --------------------------------------- (Green Anchor room) [DOCTOR] No, Rory, it's kind. You've got a choice.Sit by their --------------------------------------- (Red Waterfall room) [DOCTOR [in glass]] Bedside for twenty four hoursand watch them die, or sit in here for twenty four hours and watch themlive. Which would you choose? [AMY] Doctor? Doctor, no, don't leave me. --------------------------------------- (Green Anchor room) [DOCTOR] I'm here, Amy. I'm right here. [AMY [in glass]] Where are you? Am I looking at you? [DOCTOR] Turn left just a fraction. Bit more. Stop. That's it. [AMY [in glass]] Eye to eye? [DOCTOR] Eye to eye to eye. [RORY] Hello. [DOCTOR] Amy, I'm taking the Time Glass back to the Tardis. Like satnav,I'll use it to get a lock, then smash through using the Tardis to getyou out. Until then, you're on your own. [RORY] Er, what are you doing? [DOCTOR] Locking it on to Amy. Small act of vandalism. No one'll mind. [DOCTOR] Ah, that'll be the small act of vandalism alarm. Amy, I needyou to go into the facility just for a bit. Find somewhere safe andleave me a sign. Remember, you're immune to Chen Seven, but don't letthem give you anything. They don't know you're alien. Their kindnesswill kill you. Now go. [AMY [in glass]] Rory, I love you. Now save me. Go on. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] This is locked onto Amy permanently. Playthe signal into the console, the Tardis'll follow it. Now then, I knowyou're in here. [DOCTOR] Er, er, ha ha! How do I look? [RORY] Ridiculous. [DOCTOR] Glasses are cool, see? [DOCTOR] Oh, yes. Hello, handsome man. [RORY] Oh, hello. [DOCTOR] Hello, Rory-cam. [RORY] Huh? [RORY] Oh, you can see what I see. [DOCTOR] We're breaking into Twostreams. Now, I can't go in there. TheChen Seven'll kill me, no regeneration. You will be my eyes and ears. [RORY] Rory-cam. Rescue Amy. Got it. [DOCTOR] That's the spirit. Now, smashing through a timewall could get abit hairy. [RORY] Is it safe? [DOCTOR] Don't know. Never tried. Best hold onto something. --------------------------------------- (Check in area) [AMY] What the? [INTERFACE] Welcome to the Twostreams Facility. [AMY] Er, who are you and why can't I see you? [INTERFACE] I am the Interface between yourself and the systems of theTwostreams Facility. I will be your guide, your teacher, your friend. [CHECK IN GIRL] Welcome to Twostreams. What is your name, please? [AMY] Amy. Amy Pond. [CHECK IN GIRL] Welcome, Amy Pond. I see you're travelling alone. As aresident, you will now have access to all of the entertainment zonesinside.

[HANDBOT] Unauthorised infection on check-in, version two two three. --------------------------------------- (Service corridor) [INTERFACE] Unauthorised resident detected. [AMY] Come on.

[DOCTOR] Good old us. --------------------------------------- (Red Waterfall corridor) (Tardis) [DOCTOR] Focus on the positive. --------------------------------------- (Red Waterfall corridor) [DOCTOR [OC]] We locked onto Amy's timestream. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] Eyes front, soldier. --------------------------------------- (Red Waterfall corridor) [RORY] Right, yes. Sorry. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] Apalapucians are the great culturalscavengers, Rory. This gallery's a scrapbook of their favourite places. --------------------------------------- (Red Waterfall corridor) [RORY] Bit of Earth, bit of alien, bit of whatever the hell that is. --------------------------------------- (Gate Room) [AMY] Interface? [INTERFACE] I am here, Amy Pond. [AMY] Shush, shush. Turn that light off. So I'm, what is this? How doesit work? [INTERFACE] This is the Gate. From here you may depart to any ofTwostreams' entertainment zones. [INTERFACE] Cinema. Aquarium. Garden. [AMY] Garden? Why not? [INTERFACE] Garden. --------------------------------------- (Garden) [AMY] That is beautiful. I mean, freaky hedges. [INTERFACE] The perfect replica of a Shill Governor's Mansion onShallanna. [AMY] You really could spend a lifetime in here. Not that I'm going to.Interface? [INTERFACE] Amy Pond? [AMY] Listen, I need somewhere safe to hide and wait for my friends.Where in Twostreams is safe? [INTERFACE] Twostreams is a safe, nurturing environment. [AMY] You know what I mean. Where can I go so the Handbots can't findme? Okay. Before, I was stood by a sort of vent, and there was lightand smoke, and the Handbots couldn't see me. Why not? Okay, I will putit another way. What were those vent thingies? [INTERFACE] The vents channel the exhaust fumes from the TemporalEngines that hold the multiple timestreams in place. [AMY] And these Temporal Engines mess up the Handbots' sensors. So,where's the Temporal Engines? [INTERFACE] Temporal Engines held within. [AMY] Okay. [HANDBOT] Do not be alarmed. This is a kindness. [AMY] Ha! Don't like that, do you? --------------------------------------- (Temporal Engine room) [AMY] Temporal engines. Somewhere to hide. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [RORY [OC]] Where is everyone? [DOCTOR] Right, Rory, switch the Time Glass on and sonic it. --------------------------------------- (Red Waterfall corridor) [DOCTOR [OC]] I'm sending a command signal to thescrewdriver. Amy's here somewhere, if I can just get a lock on her. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] I wonder what happens if we mix thefilters? [DOCTOR] Oh, there they are. Forty thousand time streams overlapping.Red Waterfall isn't one time stream, it's thousands. --------------------------------------- (Red Waterfall corridor) [RORY] Are they happy? [DOCTOR] Oh, Rory. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] Trust you to think of that. --------------------------------------- (Red Waterfall corridor) [DOCTOR [OC]] I think they're happy to be alive.Better than the alternative. [RORY] I come in peace. Peace, peace, peace, peace. [WARRIOR] I waited. [RORY] Sorry, what? [WARRIOR] I waited for you. I waited for you. [RORY] Amy. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [RORY [OC]] Doctor, what's going on? [DOCTOR] Er --------------------------------------- (Red Waterfall corridor) [RORY] Amy. [DOCTOR [OC]] I think the timestream lock might be a bit wobbly. [RORY] No, please. Please. [AMY] Duck. [AMY] Handbots carry a black box in case they go offline. I've changedthe cause of termination from hostile to accidental. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [AMY [on screen]] Easy to re-programme. Used mysonic probe. --------------------------------------- (Red Waterfall corridor) [RORY] Amy. [AMY] Rory. [RORY] Why? [AMY] Because I've survived this long by making the Handbots think Idon't exist. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [AMY [on screen]] Don't touch the hands. --------------------------------------- (Red Waterfall corridor) [AMY] There's anaesthetic transfer on the skin. Ifthey touch you, you go to sleep. [RORY] But you're still here? [AMY] You didn't save me. [RORY] But, this is the saving. This is the us saving you. The Doctorjust got the timing a bit out. [DOCTOR [silent]] Sorry. [AMY] I've been on my own here a long, long time. I've had decades tothink nice thoughts about him. Got a bit harder to stay charitable onceI entered decade four. [RORY] Forty years? Alone? [AMY] Thirty six years, thanks. [RORY] No. Right. I mean, you look great. Really, really. [AMY] Eyes front, soldier. [RORY] Still can't win then. [AMY] In fact, I think I can now definitely say I hate him. I hate TheDoctor. I hate him more than I've ever hated anyone --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [AMY [on screen]] In my life, and you can hear everyword of this through those ridiculous glasses, can't you, Raggedy Man? [DOCTOR] Er, yes. Putting the speaker phone on. [AMY [on scanner]] You told me to wait, and I did. A lifetime. [DOCTOR] Amy [AMY [on scanner]] You've got nothing to say to me. [DOCTOR] Amy, behind you. --------------------------------------- (Red Waterfall corridor) [AMY] Feedback. Knocks them out. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [AMY [on scanner]] Learned that trick on my firstday. --------------------------------------- (Arrivals area) [RORY] Okay, so we just take the Tardis back to theright time stream, yeah? --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [RORY [OC]] We can stop any of this happening. --------------------------------------- (Arrivals area) [DOCTOR [OC]] We locked on to a timestream, Rory.This is it. [RORY] This is so wrong. [AMY] I got old, Rory. What did you think was going to happen? [RORY] Hey, I don't care that you got old. I care that we didn't growold together. Amy, come on, please. [AMY] Don't touch me. Don't do that. [RORY] It's like you're not even her. [AMY] Thirty six years, three months, four days of solitary confinement.This facility was built to give people the chance to live. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [AMY [on scanner]] I walked in here and I died. Doyou have anything to say? Anything, Doctor? [DOCTOR] Where did you get a sonic screwdriver? [AMY [on scanner]] I made it. And it's a sonic probe. --------------------------------------- (Arrivals area) [RORY] You made a sonic screwdriver? [AMY] Probe. --------------------------------------- (Amy's lair) [RORY] Oh. [AMY] Don't worry about him. Sit down, Rory. [RORY] You named him after me? [AMY] Needed a bit of company. [RORY] So he's like your pet? Is it safe? [AMY] Yep. I disarmed it. [RORY] How? Oh, you disarmed it. [AMY] Oh, don't get sentimental, it's just a robot. You'd have done thesame. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] I don't know that I would have. [AMY [on scanner]] And there he is. The voice of God. Survive, becauseno one's going to come for you. Number one lesson. --------------------------------------- (Amy's lair) [AMY] You taught me that. [DOCTOR [OC]] Is that really all I taught you? --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [AMY [on scanner]] Don't you lecture me, blue-boxman flying through time and space on whimsy. All I've got, all I've hadfor thirty six years, is cold, hard reality. --------------------------------------- (Amy's lair) [AMY] So no, I don't have a sonic screwdriverbecause I'm not off on a romp. I call it what it is. A probe. And Icall my life what it is. Hell. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] Amy Pond, I am going to put this right. Yousaid you learned from an --------------------------------------- (Amy's lair) [DOCTOR [OC]] Interface. Can I speak with it? [AMY] Doesn't work in here. Two twenty three. The garden'll be clearnow. Stay or go? [RORY] Sorry, me? No, I'm coming with you. [AMY] Then try not to get killed. Or do. Whatever. --------------------------------------- (Garden) [AMY] When I first came here, I had to trick theInterface into giving me the information, but I've reprogrammed it now.It'll tell me anything except how to escape. [RORY] You hacked it? That's genius. [DOCTOR] Sorry to interrupt that beautiful moment, but temporal engines --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] Like that have a regulator valve. Has to bekept at a distance from the main reactor or there'd be feedback.Interface, where's the regulator? [INTERFACE] The regulator valve is held within. [DOCTOR] Oh. Very, very ah. --------------------------------------- (Garden) [DOCTOR [OC]] Interface, I need to run through sometechnical specifications. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] Rory, give me to Amy a minute. --------------------------------------- (Garden) [RORY] Here you go. [AMY] They look ridiculous. [RORY] That's what I told him. Still, anything beats a fez, eh? [RORY] What is it? [AMY] I think that's the first time I've laughed in thirty six years. [RORY] I'll just, er, leave you two geniuses alone. I'll be back in aminute. [DOCTOR [OC]] There's still time, Amy. There's still time to fixeverything. [RORY] How can you have a door without a wall? [RORY] Oh. Holographic wallpaper? Oh, sorry. Argh. [HANDBOT] Do not be alarmed. This is a kindness. [RORY] Oh. [AMY] Rory? [RORY] Glasses. [AMY] You stupid [RORY] Oh. You saved me. [AMY] Don't get used to it. [RORY] Have you been crying? A little bit. [AMY] Shut up, Rory. [RORY] You have, haven't you? [AMY] Woman with a sword. Don't push it. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] Okay. So, here's the plan. --------------------------------------- (Garden) [DOCTOR [OC]] Time is always a bit wibbly-wobbly,but in Twostreams it's extrawobbly. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] I've worked out how to hijack the TemporalEngines and use them to fold two points of Amy's timeline together.We're bringing her out of the then and into the now. Amy, I just needto borrow your brain a minute. It won't hurt, probably. Almost probablyand then --------------------------------------- (Garden) [DOCTOR [OC]] Amy Pond, I'm going to save you. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [AMY [on screen]] No. --------------------------------------- (Garden) [AMY] Time's up. Handbots coming. --------------------------------------- (Arrivals area) [DOCTOR [OC]] Amy, you've got to help us help you. Ineed you to think back --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] Thirty six years ago. Amy? Amy! --------------------------------------- (Arrivals area) [RORY] You told her to leave us a sign. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [RORY [OC]] And she did. And she waited. --------------------------------------- (Temporal Engine room) [RORY] Oh Amy, why won't you help yourself? [AMY] He wants to rescue past me from thirty six years back, which meansI'll cease to exist. Everything I've seen and done dissolves. Time isrewritten. [RORY] That's, that's good, isn't it? [AMY] I will die. Another Amy will take my place. An Amy who never gottrapped at Twostreams, an Amy who grew old with you, and she, in thirtysix years, won't be me. [RORY] But you'll die in here! [AMY] Not if you take me with you. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [AMY [on screen]] You came to rescue me, so rescueme. --------------------------------------- (Temporal Engine room) [RORY] Leave her and take you? --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] We could take this Amy with us, easy, butif we do, our Amy has to wait thirty six years to be rescued. --------------------------------------- (Temporal Engine room) [RORY] So I have to choose. Which wife do I want? [AMY] She is me. We're both me. [RORY] You being here is wrong. For a single day, an hour, let alone alifetime. I swore to protect you. I promised. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] Rory --------------------------------------- (Temporal Engine room) [RORY] This is your fault. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] I'm so sorry, but, Rory --------------------------------------- (Temporal Engine room) [RORY] No, this is your fault! You should look in ahistory book once in a while, see if there's an outbreak of --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [RORY [OC]] Plague or not. [DOCTOR] That is not how I travel. --------------------------------------- (Temporal Engine room) [RORY] Then I do not want to travel with you! [DOCTOR [OC]] Rory, is the Time Glass still on? If the link's stillactive, I think I can hear Amy. Our Amy. [RORY] Oh, Amy. --------------------------------------- (Amy's lair) [RORY] Look me in the face and say you won't helpher. [AMY] I will not help her. [RORY] Okay, okay. Look me in the face and say it now. [AMY [in glass]] Rory? Rory is that you? --------------------------------------- (Past Temporal Engine room) [AMY] Rory, where are you? [RORY [OC]] Same place as you, and a bit ahead. --------------------------------------- (Amy's lair) [OLDER AMY] I remember this. [AMY [in glass]] But who's she? There's no one else here but. Me? --------------------------------------- (Past Temporal Engine room) [AMY] Why are we still here? --------------------------------------- (Amy's lair) [OLDER AMY] Because they leave you. Because they getin their Tardis and they fly away. --------------------------------------- (Past Temporal Engine room) [AMY] No. Rory wouldn't, not ever. Something musthave stopped him. --------------------------------------- (Amy's lair) [OLDER AMY] You did. Or rather, the old version ofyou. --------------------------------------- (Past Temporal Engine room) [OLDER AMY [in glass]] The me version of you. Irefuse to help them. I won't let them save myself. [AMY] Why? --------------------------------------- (Amy's lair) [OLDER AMY] If you escape, then I was never trappedhere. The last thirty six years of my life rewrites, and I cease toexist. That's why old me refused to help then. That's why I'm refusingto help now. And that's why you'll refuse to help when it's your turn.And nothing you can say will change that. --------------------------------------- (Past Temporal Engine room) [AMY] Three words. What about Rory? [OLDER AMY [in glass]] Rory? --------------------------------------- (Amy's lair) [OLDER AMY] I called my robot Rory. [AMY [in glass]] You called your robot Rory? --------------------------------------- (Past Temporal Engine room) [AMY] Oh, so you didn't call it the Doctor, orBiggles --------------------------------------- (Amy's lair) [AMY [in glass]] Our favourite cat? [OLDER AMY] Do you, er, do you --------------------------------------- (Past Temporal Engine room) [OLDER AMY [in glass]] Remember that summer when hecame back to school with that ridiculous haircut? [AMY] He said he'd been in a rock band. --------------------------------------- (Amy's lair) [OLDER AMY] Liar. And, and then he had to learn toplay the guitar. --------------------------------------- (Past Temporal Engine room) [AMY] So we wouldn't know he couldn't play it. Mmmhmm. --------------------------------------- (Amy's lair) [OLDER AMY] All those boys chasing me, but it wasonly ever Rory. Why was that? --------------------------------------- (Past Temporal Engine room) [AMY] You know when sometimes you meet someone sobeautiful --------------------------------------- (Amy's lair) [AMY [in glass]] And then you actually talk to them,and five minutes later they're as dull as a brick? --------------------------------------- (Past Temporal Engine room) [AMY] Then there's other people, and you meet themand think, not bad, they're okay. And then you get to know them, andtheir face just sort of becomes them, like their personality's writtenall over it. And they just turn into something so beautiful. [BOTH] Rory's the most beautiful man I've ever met. [AMY] Please? Do it for him. --------------------------------------- (Amy's lair) [OLDER AMY] You're asking me to defy destiny,causality, the nexus of time itself, for a boy. --------------------------------------- (Past Temporal Engine room) [AMY] You're Amy, he's Rory, and oh yes, I am. --------------------------------------- (Temporal Engine room) [OLDER AMY] I am going to pull time apart for you. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [OLDER AMY [in glass]] Okay, Doctor, Twostreams isback on air. Right, okay, so this is big news. --------------------------------------- (Temporal Engine room) [OLDER AMY] This is temporal earthquake time. I amnow officially changing my own future. Hold on to your spectacles. Inmy past, I saw my future self refuse to help you. I'm now changing thatfuture and --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [OLDER AMY [in glass]] Agreeing. Every law of timesays that shouldn't be possible. [DOCTOR] Yes, except sometimes knowing your own future's what enablesyou to change it. Especially if you're bloody minded, contradictory --------------------------------------- (Arrivals area) [DOCTOR [OC]] And completely unpredictable. [RORY] So basically, if you're Amy, then? [DOCTOR [OC]] Yes, if anyone could defeat pre-destiny, --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] It's your wife. --------------------------------------- (Arrivals area) [OLDER AMY] It's not about what I'm doing, but whoI'm doing it for. I'm trusting you to watch my back, Rory. [RORY] Always. You and me, always. [OLDER AMY] Because here's the deal. You take me, too. In the Tardis. Metoo. [RORY] But that means that there'll be two of you. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [RORY [on screen]] Permanently. Forever. [OLDER AMY [on screen]] And that way we both get to live. --------------------------------------- (Arrivals area) [RORY] Two Amys together. Can that work? [DOCTOR [OC]] I don't know. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] It's your marriage. --------------------------------------- (Arrivals area) [RORY] Doctor. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] Perhaps. Maybe, if I shunted the realitycompensators on the Tardis, re-calibrated the Doomsday bumpers andjettisoned the karaoke bar, yes. Maybe. Yes. It could do it. The Tardiscould sustain the paradox. --------------------------------------- (Arrivals area) [RORY] Right. Amy and Amy. [RORY] The wife and the wife. Right. Right. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] Okay. Amy, Past Amy, stand by the door.Future Amy, you too. --------------------------------------- (Arrivals area) [DOCTOR [OC]] Future Amy, can I borrow your sonicscr --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] Probe. --------------------------------------- (Arrivals area) [OLDER AMY] It's a screwdriver. [DOCTOR [OC]] Rory, sonic it. Double our power. Amy Now, you're our linkto Amy Then. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] We need to get a signal through, and thatsignal --------------------------------------- (Arrivals area) [DOCTOR [OC]] Will be a thought. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] Amy Now and Amy Then, share a thought.Something so --------------------------------------- (Arrivals area) [DOCTOR] Powerful that it can rip through time. Rory --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] Sonic the plinth front. Inside you'll find --------------------------------------- (Arrivals area) [DOCTOR [OC]] Three levers and a jumble of wiring. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] That's the regulator valve. After were-route it, you have ten minutes to get back to the Tardis. --------------------------------------- (Arrivals area) [RORY] Okay. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] Pull out the red and green receptors.Re-route the blue into the red and --------------------------------------- (Arrivals area) [DOCTOR [OC]] The green into blue. Leave the redloose and on no account --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] Touch anything yellow. Come on, Rory. It'shardly rocket science. It's just --------------------------------------- (Arrivals area) [DOCTOR] Quantum physics. [RORY] Yes, right. Blue into red and then green [DOCTOR [OC]] Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. Now, the levers. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] Throw them in order. --------------------------------------- (Arrivals area) [DOCTOR [OC]] And Amys, start thinking the mostimportant thought you have ever had. --------------------------------------- (Tardis) [DOCTOR] Hold it in your head and do not let it go.Lever one. --------------------------------------- (Arrivals area) [BOTH AMYS] Macarena.
