TEXT: THE MACRA TERROR by IAN STUART BLACK first broadcast - 18th March, 1967 [SCENE_BREAK] 1. THE BUILDING SITE DOCTOR: Right. Now! MEDOK: No. Look, out there. DOCTOR: I don't see anything. MEDOK: In that patch of moonlight. I told you I'd seen them! (The Doctor and Medok briefly glimpse the crab-like creature. It vanishes into the night.) MEDOK: Ah! That proves it! I wasn't seeing things! DOCTOR: Medok - the guards. They'll hear you. MEDOK: It doesn't matter. They can't lock me up again. Now I can prove it. We know they're real. DOCTOR: Medok. OLA: Medok. I know you're in there. Come out quietly. MEDOK: You can put that gun away. I'm coming. OLA: Who's with you? MEDOK: The Doctor. OLA: What are you doing here? MEDOK: Don't waste time. Come on over here. OLA: Stay where you are. MEDOK: Listen, I came out to show you. OLA: Stand still! MEDOK: It's the Macra, Ola! They are real! Ask the Doctor. He'll tell you. DOCTOR: Yes, I think I can confirm... OLA: We don't want to know what the strangers think. DOCTOR: Well, it might be as well to... OLA: Ha, ha, ha. Where do you think you're going? DOCTOR: I just thought I'd go and have a look. OLA: Stay where you are. Guards - search him. DOCTOR: (To Medok.) What will they do to us? OLA: I'll tell you. You're going before the Pilot. You are in the company of an escaped criminal. And you were out in the Colony at night. MEDOK: I'm sorry, Doctor. I thought he'd listen to reason. DOCTOR: Reason's the last thing a man like Ola will
