TEXT: THE INVISIBLE ENEMY BY BOB BAKER AND DAVE MARTIN Part Two Running time: 25:13 [SCENE_BREAK] Behind Leela, the Doctor approaches silently pointing a blaster at her back, his hand covered in wispy tendrils. NUCLEUS (OOV.): Destroy. The reject must be destroyed. Kill. Kill. DOCTOR (OOV.): I can't. I won't. NUCLEUS (OOV.): You must. DOCTOR: Leela. LEELA: Doctor! DOCTOR: Leela, I can't stop it. He fires but Leela ducks. DOCTOR: Got to fight it. Got to fight it. His shots go wild as he struggles against the nucleus' willpower. LEELA: Doctor, what's wrong? He collapses to the floor and drops the blaster. On his hand, the tendrils disappear. Leela runs to him. LEELA: Doctor, what was all that? DOCTOR: I'm fighting for my mind. Whatever it was that attacked Safran and the others is also affecting me. LEELA: Why not me? DOCTOR: Perhaps because. Oh! I can feel it gathering strength to attack again. LEELA: The evil one? DOCTOR: Some kind of organism that attacks the mind, the intelligence. It's trying to take me over, Leela. It's trying to change me. LEELA: No, Doctor, please. DOCTOR: I need help. I must withdraw into myself, save strength. He goes limp and silent. LEELA: Why not me? She runs off, blaster in hand. [SCENE_BREAK] Lowe approaches Safran who raises his blaster. LOWE: No, wait. Contact has been made. LOWE: We are one, Safran. SAFRAN: Then why pursue me? LOWE: For the purpose. The Doctor has not yet succumbed to the power of the Nucleus. You will prepare the tanks for incubation. They do not suspect me yet. I will stay with them to guard the Nucleus and to destroy the reject. Leela comes
SUMMARY:
The Doctor draws into himself, fighting the voice in his own head that's trying to take over his intelligence.
