"(DOCTOR WHO THEME)" "Oh, Doctor, I thought you were dead." "Help me." "Come on, yes." "Careful." "Help me into the TARDIS, Jo." "Okay." "All right, Jo." "Careful." "The first thing we've got to do is get out of here." "(WHOOSHING)" "(BREATHING HEAVILY)" "Doctor, what are you doing?" "Telepathic circuits, sending a message to the Time Lords." "I must tell them to..." "I mu..." "I mu..." "Doctor!" "Come on, come and sit down." "Come on." "That's it, careful, that's it." "Help me off with this." "Let's get this off." "Now just lie back." "Must lie down, Jo." "Yes." "Must rest for a while, must rest..." "I must rest, Jo..." "Yes." "It's all right." "Now, Jo..." "Now listen to me..." "I'm liable to sleep for quite some time." "Now, if anything happens, anything at all, record it in the log, record it in the log..." "Log?" "Yes..." "What log?" "Doctor, I don't know what you're talking about." "In the log, up there in the locker." "Doctor?" "Jo!" "Jo!" "Careful!" "Doctor?" "Jo?" "Jo?" "Jo?" "Doctor!" "Oh, he's so cold!" "Shortly after entering the TARDIS, the Doctor fell into a deep coma." "His respiration was very shallow and his skin icy to the touch." "I could find no trace of pulse or heartbeat and his breathing apparently ceased." "But I've seen the Doctor in this condition once before and he recovered after a sudden rise in temperature." "(RAPID BEEPING)" "(WHOOSHING)" "(WHOOSHING STOPS)" "The TARDIS seems to have landed." "I suppose the Time Lords are working it by remote control again." "I..." "I've no idea what the Doctor said to him in his message or where we are." "I just..." "I just hope that they've..." "They've brought us somewhere where I can find some help for the Doctor." "Ice!" "Doctor!" "Doctor, you're alive!" "Doctor?" "Doctor, I don't know whether you can hear me or not." "Both your hearts are beating about...oh, about once every 10 seconds and your body temperature is somewhere below zero." "I'm going outside." "I'm going to try and find some help." "Scanner, scanner." "Scanner." "That's it." "(LIQUID SPLASHING)" "Doctor?" "Doctor, I'm going now." "I'll be back as soon as I can." "(ANIMAL SQUEALING)" "Things growing in this jungle seem more like animal than plant life." "The light is changing." "It seems as if it's daybreak." "There's a sudden change in temperature." "I haven't seen any form of intelligent life except..." "Except those bits of... (TUTTING)" "Bits of statue by the TARDIS." "(SIGHING)" "(EXCLAIMING)" "(HEAVY BREATHING)" "Jo?" "Jo, where are you?" "Jo?" "Jo?" "That's odd." "The atmosphere outside is breathable yet the automatic oxygen supply is on." "Hello?" "Hello?" "Is anybody there?" "(DOOR STRAINING TO OPEN)" "(DOOR STRAINING TO OPEN)" "(RAPID BEEPING)" "I'll just have to use the emergency supply." "(HISSING)" "(HISSING STOPS)" "(HISSING)" "(HISSING STOPS)" "(HISSING STEADILY)" "Who are you?" "My name is Taron." "This is Vaber." "I'm Jo Grant." "Do you live here?" "I..." "I mean, do you live on this planet?" "What are you?" "Where are you from?" "Well, I'm from a planet called Earth." "Earth?" "You've heard of it?" "We've heard the name." "There is no such place as Earth." "It's just a name in our old legends." "It doesn't really exist." "Believe me, it does!" "TARON:" "How did you come here?" "In the TARDIS." "TARDIS?" "Well, yes, it..." "It's a sort of spaceship." "Are you alone?" "No." "No, I have a friend with me and he's very sick." "I was trying to find some help for him." "Look, I'm afraid he's dying." "We're not a hospital service!" "Please?" "Please, you..." "You've got to help me!" "I'm qualified in space medicine." "I'll do what I can." "Thank you." "I was beginning to think that I'd never find anybody to help me." "You were lucky they didn't find you." "They?" "TARON:" "Where is this ship of yours, the TARDIS?" "Well, back through the jungle." "Is it far?" "Well, no, not far." "It's by some..." "Some bits of statue." "Reference seven?" "Yes, yes, yes." "Look, come on, I'll take you there." "(FOOTSTEPS)" "They're near, a patrol!" "VABER:" "How many?" "Three or four, headed this way." "Who's this?" "We have to move." "Well, I'm coming with you!" "No, we know this jungle now." "We can move in it quietly and quickly." "You'll be safer if you stay hidden here." "Get inside." "You can work the securer from in there." "But I want to come with you." "That would slow us all up." "You'd endanger all of us." "Don't worry." "We'll lead them away from here, lose them in the jungle." "Lose who?" "Come on!" "Come on!" "We'll do what we can for your friend." "I'll come back for you later." "Thank you." "Please hurry!" "(HOARSE RASPING BREATHING)" "Which way are they moving?" "We're all right." "They seem to be staying on the main tracks." "There's a few scouts, moving independently, but off that way." "What about the girl?" "Oh, she should be all right." "And this "friend" of hers?" "Let's go and find him." "(BEEPING)" "All the circuits are in order." "The door must be held from the outside." "I must get it open." "I must get that door open." "Got to get..." "Got to get that door open..." "That's it..." "Must get... (GROANING)" "Must get it o..." "Must get..." "Must get..." "Must get..." "TARON:" "Right, sit him down here." "(DOCTOR BREATHING HEAVILY)" "Thank you..." "Thank you." "Thank you very much." "How did you find me?" "A girl we met." "She told us where you were." "Is she all right?" "She should be." "We left her hiding." "Circle round the neighbourhood." "See if there's any activity." "What are you staring at?" "Oh, I'm sorry, it's just..." "Just that I thought I knew you." "That's not likely." "Where are you from?" "A planet, many systems from here." "Skaro!" "Yes, of course, you're Thals!" "How did you know that?" "'Cause I've been to Skaro, that's why." "When?" "Oh, many years ago." "During the Dalek war." "Dalek war?" "Yes." "That's impossible!" "That was generations ago." "You couldn't have been there." "Well, I can assure you that I was." "How?" "By travelling through the barriers of time." "If you must know, I was with the Thal group when they broke into the Dalek city." "In our legend, there is a being, a figure from another planet who came to Skaro when the Thals were in their greatest peril in something called a TARDIS!" "He had three companions with him." "Yes, Barbara, Ian and Susan." "VABER:" "And their leader was called?" "The Doctor." "Are you trying to tell us that you are the Doctor?" "That's right." "VABER:" "That's nonsense!" "You've come to spy on us!" "What are you doing on this planet?" "Here, of all the planets in the galaxy!" "Answer!" "Now, you listen to me, young man, you may have saved my life and I'm grateful, but that does not give you the right to subject me to an inquisition." "Vaber, give me the spray." "What?" "Waste our medical supplies?" "The spray, Vaber!" "What are you doing?" "You have been infected by a particularly deadly fungus." "Close your eyes." "They spread their spores in that liquid they've discharged." "And the fungus spreads very quickly unless the surface has been specially treated." "Turn your hand over." "There, that should be all right now." "Now?" "Why, what woul..." "What would have happened?" "Without special treatment it would have spread all over your body." "Ah, that's nice." "Until finally you'd have been engulfed by it." "Oh." "Come on, let's get started!" "No." "We wait for Codal." "Tell me, what's the name of this planet?" "Spiridon, one of the nastiest pieces of space garbage in the ninth system." "Is it inhabited?" "Oh, yes!" "Vegetation that's more like animal life than plant, creatures hostile to everything, including themselves, and a climate that changes from tropical in the day" "to sub-freezing in the night." "Any intelligent life form?" "Oh, yes, the Spiridons." "They're invisible." "Mmm, I'd very much like to see one of them!" "I'd very much like to come into contact with one of them." "Don't worry, you will." "You said just now that you were on some sort of mission?" "May one ask what it is?" "No, I can't tell you that, that's top secret." "As you wish." "I'm on something of a special mission myself." "Taron, why can't you face it?" "Now listen..." "None of us is ever going to get away from here!" "Vaber!" "The radio's gone, the ship's damaged, we can't takeoff, we're on a suicide mission!" "It was your choice, nobody made you come." "Well, whatever it was you came here to do, it must be pretty important." "We think so." "How many are there of you?" "There were seven." "But our commander was killed on touchdown." "And we've lost three others since." "Oh, only three left." "Yeah." "Well, you could make that four if you'd let me help you." "Five with Jo Grant." "Thanks." "I'll think about it." "You still don't trust me?" "Why should I?" "You come here out of nowhere and then claim to be something out of a legend." "Yes, I see your point." "But I am on your side, you know?" "(CODAL WHISTLING)" "VABER:" "Anything about?" "No, it, er, it seems quiet enough." "You all right now?" "Yes, never felt better." "Good, we'll take you to your friend." "That's good." "After that, you're on your own." "If you see me signal, dive for cover quickly and don't make a sound, understood?" "Understood." "It's coming this way." "It sounds like it's in trouble." "What do you think?" "It could be ray exhaustion." "No, light-wave sickness." "That's what the others had." "TARON:" "Do you think it's deactivated?" "CODAL:" "Well, we can't be sure." "Let's chance it." "Spiridons?" "Here." "What's this?" "Some kind of weapon?" "A liquid colour spray." "Point it in this direction, press the control on the top and you'll see what we're up against." "Daleks!"
