"(DOCTOR WHO THEME)" "(AIR HISSING)" "The door, it's locked!" "They're depressurising." "Listen." "Don't you understand, man!" "They're pumping out the air!" "We're, we're going to suffocate!" "Of course we're not." "That's no good." "They...they'll never hear us." "Well, they certainly won't if we don't try." "DALE:" "Help!" "Help!" "Help!" "Professor, don't shout!" "You'll just waste oxygen." "Come on, Professor, come on." "Come on, up you get." "(AIR HISSING)" "Listen!" "Listen, it worked!" "I do hope that you're all right, Doctor." "(SIGHING) You..." "Yes, I might have guessed." "I'd hate you to come to any harm, you know?" "It was a deliberate attempt at cold-blooded murder, Governor." "And I demand an enquiry." "You were trying to escape." "You've only yourselves to blame for the consequences." "I also believe there was a conspiracy to destroy this man because he's politically dangerous to you." "How dare you!" "Cross said he would help us to escape and he left spacesuits for us in the airlock." "With no oxygen in the cylinders." "Is there any truth in this?" "No, sir." "They stole the suits." "Must have messed it up and taken ones with empty cylinders." "And I take it that we also locked ourselves in the air lock from the outside, and switched off the air supply, mmm?" "He does have a point there, you know, Governor." "Had it not been..." "Maybe another prisoner did it." "You know, one who had it in for 'em?" "You are both guilty of attempting to escape." "You will both be placed in solitary confinement for the next year." "Uh,just a moment, Governor." "Do what you will with the old man, but that one comes with me." "Out of the question, I'm afraid." "He has committed an internal offence and is subject to prison discipline." "Take them away." "Sir." "You know, I do wish that you'd reconsider, Governor." "Obtaining custody of that prisoner is very important to me." "And I do have a warrant." "It's out of the question, I'm afraid." "You see, he is under punishment." "When he's completed his solitary confinement, I'll reconsider." "I see." "You know, I have a theory about this incident." "It's no concern of yours." "I think that those two prisoners were telling the truth." "I think that your trusty Cross was helping them." "Why should he do that?" "On your instructions." "That is an outrageous suggestion..." "Oh, come, Governor!" "You rid yourself of a politically dangerous prisoner and foster the legend that escape is impossible in one go." "I must congratulate you." "You're being very impertinent!" "Suppose I were to support the Doctor's demand for an official enquiry?" "Some very awkward questions could be asked." "I have nothing to fear." "Haven't you?" "Oh, come, Governor." "Hand the Doctor over to me and I promise you he'll be no further trouble to you." "Well, I've no wish to be uncooperative." "What would you do with him?" "Oh, take him back to Sirius 4 and see that he stands trial." "(EXCLAIMING) You wouldn't believe the list of crimes he's committed." "I'm releasing you into the custody of this commissioner." "He will fly you back to Sirius 4 to stand trial." "And may I ask what I'm supposed to have done there?" "(MASTER CLEARING THROAT)" ""Defrauding the Sirius 4 Dominion Bank, evasion of planetary income tax," ""assault and battery committed upon the person of a Sirius 4 police official," ""taking a spaceship without authority and piloting the said spaceship" ""without payment of tax and insurance." "Landing said spaceship" ""on an unauthorised area of Sirius 3." Need I go on?" "(SCOFFING) I seem to be quite the master criminal, don't I?" "You don't mean to say that you really believe all this nonsense, do you, Governor?" "Whatever credentials that he's shown you are forged." "Oh, come, Doctor, you know the game's up." "Why not admit defeat?" "You know, this man always works with an accomplice, a girl." "(CHUCKLING) I've got her under lock and key in my ship." "Well, Doctor, are you coming quietly?" "Hello, Jo." "Doctor!" "How are you?" "All right?" "Well..." "Right, they'll be plenty of time for the exchange of social pleasantries." "Put him inside." "Thank you, gentlemen." "You can leave them to me now." "Well, Doctor, this is an interesting reversal." "I remember your once visiting me when I was in prison." "You know, I'd very much like to know why..." "Why you've been locked up?" "No, why I'm still alive." "Oh, come, your health is very precious to me, for the moment." "You see, my employers are most interested in you." "The Ogrons?" "Miss Grant, please!" "I employ them." "Yes, well, whatever it is you're up to, you needn't expect any help from me." "I don't need any help." "Your simple presence will be quite enough." "Oh, by the way, I need hardly warn you there is no point in trying to escape." "This is an interplanetary police spaceship, specially built for carrying prisoners, as you can see." "Stolen, of course?" "(SCOFFING) Of course." "Oh, and another thing..." "There's a closed-circuit television camera trained on you from up there, so you will be under continuous observation." "I think that's all." "Well, now, if you'll excuse me, I have some rather complicated astro-navigational calculations to work out." "May I ask where we're going?" "Certainly." "To the home of our friends, the Ogrons." "A barren and uninteresting planet on the remote fringes of the galaxy." "Why are you taking us there?" "That, Miss Grant, you will discover when you arrive." "Right, now listen to me." "We haven't got much time before he gets back to the flight deck." "Now, the first thing we've got to do is to escape." "Now, they took my sonic screwdriver from me in the prison but they didn't get a hold of this." "A steel file." "Right, let's go." "No, not yet." "Let's wait till he gets back to the flight deck, then he'll set the controls." "Now, this is an automatic spaceship." "Once we're underway, the computers take over, right?" "Okay, so what's the plan?" "Now this is what we're gonna do." "(SIGHING)" "(BEEPING)" "Right, you'd better hold on in there, you two." "We're about to lift off." "(MASTER SIGHING)" "So I told the High Council of the Time Lords," "I said they had absolutely no right to put me on trial in the first place." "Well, if I chose to go wandering around the universe in my own time, that was my business." "What about stealing the TARDIS?" "I didn't steal it." "I just borrowed it." "I fully intended to return it, I assure you." "Anyway, she wasn't exactly the latest model, poor old thing." "JO: (LAUGHING) You can say that again." "I tell you, I made a complete fool of that prosecuting council, though." "I ridiculed his every argument." "Yes, and I told him that I had the complete answer to every one his charges against me." "JO:" "And then what happened?" "DOCTOR:" "Then what happened, well, they found me guilty, changed my appearance and exiled me to Earth." "JO:" "And that's where you met me!" "That's right." "That's where I met you." "And that alone made the exile worthwhile, Miss Grant." "JO:" "Thank you!" "Not that there's anything wrong with Earth." "Well, it's quite a nice, little planet in its own way, but..." "After all, I am a Time Lord,Jo, and I think I've deserve my freedom." "JO:" "Right!" "In reminiscent mood, are you, Doctor?" "Poor Miss Grant, you have my deepest sympathy." "(CHUCKLING)" "As I soon realised, the trouble with Lethbridge-Stewart is that he's got a military mind." "Well, he is a brigadier, after all." "I mean, what do you expect?" "No, that's just the trouble though." "He's hidebound, you see." "He always does everything by the rules." "I keep telling him." "I said, "There are times, you know," ""when you've simply got to cut right through the red tape."" "And you've managed to do that, have you?" "DOCTOR:" "Yes, I've managed to cut right through it." "And I'm not going to let authority stand between me and my freedom." "(SIGHING) Lethbridge-Stewart, I..." "Hey!" "As far as he's concerned I've been absent without leave all this time." "I'm always telling people that you've no idea where you're going in that TARDIS of yours." "I mean, you're supposed to be getting me back to Earth, right?" "And we keep landing up in one terrible situation after the other." "I mean, when I get back, I'll probably be court-martialled and then I'll be put in a cell again." "That's if we do get back, and the way things are going, it doesn't look like it." "But if we do get back, I'm telling you one thing, right here and now..." "I'm never going up in that TARDIS with you again." "But if we do get back, I really think you ought to be a bit more reasonable with the Master." "I mean, he keeps offering you a share in the galaxy, or whatever's going on, and you keep refusing him and playing dirty tricks on him." "But, you see, the trouble is with you is, well, you're so stiff-necked." "I mean, you've got to realise that, this time, the Master has won." "You might as well make the best out of a terrible situation." "I mean, look at it now." "Here we are... (LOWERING VOLUME)" "Goodness knows where he's taking us to." "I mean,just a few of those Ogrons is bad enough." "Can you imagine, I mean imagine, a whole planet of them?" "Still, I suppose it's all my own fault really." "I mean, if I hadn't asked my uncle to pull those strings and get me that job," "I'd never have landed up in this mess in the first place." "You know, some people think that it's very romantic working in intelligence." "Oh, but, my goodness, I could tell you it's not." "I mean, they think that I run around all day with a terrific-looking James Bond star going to suave dinner parties." "Oh, but I don't, you know." "I mean, I dine with the Brigadier and I'm doing the filing at HQ, which is very, very difficult, or else I'm running around making tea and being general dogsbody." "I mean, the time's come, really, when I'm..." "(JO TALKING OVER INTERCOM)" "(BEEPING)" "You'd better hold on again, you two in there." "Doctor, Miss Grant, I'm going to make a rather sharp course correction." "It'll only last a moment." "Is everything all right, Miss Grant?" "Yes, yes, I'm fine." "MASTER:" "You appear a little distressed?" "No, I'm..." "I'm just a bit shaken, that's all." "Yes, I can quite understand." "And how about you, Doctor?" "No ill effects, I hope?" "Doctor, are you all right?" "JO:" "Please don't wake him." "He's...he's fast asleep." "Is he?" "How very relaxed of him." "(SIGHING) You really ought to be more careful, Doctor." "I mean, I know there's a lot of...a lot of evil in the universe, but you can't help to put it all right by yourself." "I mean, one of these days your luck will run out and you'll get yourself killed!" "MASTER:" "Thank you, Miss Grant, we'll let you know!" "Where's the Doctor?" "MASTER ON MONITOR:" "I say, he has been busy, hasn't he?" "Where is he, Miss Grant?" "JO ON INTERCOM:" "He's gone." "MASTER:" "I see." "He found a spacesuit and he's gone into the air lock, is that it?" "Why?" "What's his plan?" "(SNIFFLING) He wanted to get to the flight deck." "He was outside the ship when you made your course correction!" "Was he now?" "(LAUGHING) How very unfortunate." "By now he's probably thousands of miles away, swimming around in space by himself." "(JO SOBBING)" "But just in case he isn't, you come with me, Miss Grant." "Come on!" "Right, in you go, Miss Grant." "Can you hear me, Doctor?" "Are you on the flight deck?" "If so, listen to this." "Miss Grant is in the air lock." "Unless you surrender yourself to me immediately," "I shall open the outer door and hurl her into space." "(DOCTOR EXCLAIMING)" "What an ingenious fellow you are, Doctor!" "DOCTOR:" "Oh, no, you don't!" "(GRUNTING)" "JO:" "Please let me out!" "Doctor!" "Please let me out, somebody!" "(MASTER EXCLAIMING)" "Now hold it, Doctor, hold it!" "Get that blaster over to me or I press this button, and that will be the end of Miss Grant!" "Thank you, Doctor." "(THUDDING)" "Well, we appear to have company." "Would these be your Ogron friends?" "Why, no, no." "Well, I should try and be a bit more hospitable, old chap." "Come on, put that gun away." "They've probably got us outnumbered." "Welcome on board my ship." "To what do I owe the honour?" "Why have you violated the Draconian frontier?" "Uh, yes, I'm most apologetic about that, but it was really beyond my control." "You see, my prisoners were trying to escape and my..." "My ship was thrown off course." "Prisoners?" "Yes, I am the commissioner of Earth's Interplanetary Police." "I'm taking these two people back to planet Sirius 4 for...for trial." "Uh, here is my warrant of authority." "Now, don't believe this man, he's lying." "I'm not concerned in disputes between Earthmen." "Owing to the many insults and outrages committed against the empire of Draconia, a state of emergency exists and all diplomatic relations have been severed." "You have violated Draconian space." "The penalty is death." "I insist on speaking to higher authority!" "You are in Draconian space." "I am the authority here." "Captain, you cannot condemn us without a trial." "Now, I have vital information for your Emperor." "At least give me the chance to speak to him?" "We shall take them to Draconia." "Put them in the cage." "But you can't do that!" "I'm a commissioner of Interplanetary Police!" "This is my spaceship!" "I tell you, you can't do that!" "Well, personally I'm quite happy to be going to Draconia, Jo." "Perhaps we can convince the Emperor what our friend here has been trying to do." "You really think he'd believe you?" "Well, this won't be my first visit to Draconia, you know?" "Many years ago, I spent quite some time there." "I was able to help them through a period of very great difficulty." "(SCOFFING) Displaying your usual sickening lovability, I suppose?" "So there's a good chance that they'll believe you, huh?" "Well, it was a long time ago." "Things may have changed." "But I do understand the Draconian mentality, Jo." "It all depends how you approach them." "So, if they do believe the Doctor, you've had it!" "Perhaps, Miss Grant, perhaps." "But one never knows when help may be at hand." "Now, if you'll excuse me, I think that this is going to be rather a long journey, so, uh, good night." "We'll wake you with a cup of tea in the morning." "Thank you." "(CLICKING)"
