TEXT: THE WEB OF FEAR by MERVYN HAISMAN and HENRY LINCOLN first broadcast - March 2nd 1968 [SCENE_BREAK] 1. LABORATORY (The DOCTOR, JAMIE, VICTORIA, ANNE, EVANS and the COLONEL watch in horror as two YETI walk in. Following them is the gaunt figure of PROFESSOR TRAVERS. The onlookers gasp as they see him.) JAMIE: Oh no! COLONEL: I just don't understand what's happening! JAMIE: Poor Travers! (There are general murmurings of disbelief, which cut off abruptly as TRAVERS speaks.) TRAVERS: Silence! ANNE: Father! (She steps forward; the DOCTOR restrains her.) DOCTOR: No, no! No! ANNE: But I must... DOCTOR: No, Anne! Don't go near him. Just... just listen to him. (TRAVERS now speaks, but the voice is not his own - it has a hissing, rasping tone to it. The speech is halting, and he takes deep breaths between phrases.) TRAVERS: I... am... the Intelligence! (There are cries of shock and denial from the onlookers.) TRAVERS: Listen to me! I speak to you with this man's voice because the time has come for you to understand my purpose. EVANS: What's he getting at? COLONEL: Quiet! DOCTOR: What do you want? TRAVERS: You defeated me in Tibet, Doctor. DOCTOR: Yes. TRAVERS: Now you have fallen into the trap that I have so carefully prepared for you. (As TRAVERS speaks, a strange thin mist is emanating from his mouth.) DOCTOR: Oh, I see, so that's why you've brought me here. Revenge! TRAVERS: Oh, no. Revenge is a very human emotion. My purpose for you is far more interesting. DOCTOR: And what's that? TRAVERS
