"("DOCTOR WHO" THEME)" "Doctor!" "(DOOR SLAMS)" "Doctor!" " Yes?" " Oh, thank heavens!" " What an incredible illusion!" " It is, isn't it?" "How do you do that?" " Simple." "I found the door." " I don't see it." "It's there all the same." "I knew this was a peculiar wall." " Is it an energy barrier?" " Right!" "I picked the lock." " If it's open, why can't we see through it?" " As you pass through it, it opens around you." "A trick like that would make a fortune at the fairgrounds." "I must speak to the people who invented it." " Any survivors?" " Not yet." "An amazing illusion!" "I must learn how it's done!" " What's that smell?" " Soliton gas." "I thought I recognised it." "Who'd want this sort of atmosphere?" "It's stifling!" "Someone who needs it to breathe properly." "Let's find them." "I said let's find them!" "Should you find the wine cellar, sir, a bottle of sack would be most appreciated!" "That's stealing!" "I AM a highwayman, madam." "This isn't a highway!" " It's locked." " So..." "This must be it." " (TEGAN) It's so gloomy!" " They're near." " How do you know?" " The smell of soliton is much stronger." "Why do we lurk in this cellar when there is a whole house to loot?" "You said you wanted wine." "Help yourself." "Ah!" "I'm so impetuous." "Always looking to the hills and missing the treasure at my feet!" " I wonder what those are for." " Just don't disturb anything!" "(RHYTHMIC PUFFING)" "Do you recognise any characteristics?" "(COUGHS) The regulator isn't pulsing properly." "Doctor, look." "Perhaps they're just for research." "I feel itchy just looking at 'em." "What does that stuff taste like?" " Nectar!" " Oh." " What does that taste like?" " You stu..." "Agh!" "(DOCTOR) No, don't!" " Nyssa, get out of here!" " What about Tegan?" "Just get out of here!" "I can't find the gap!" "Doctor!" "I don't know if you can understand me, but I'd like to point out how volatile soliton is when mixed freely with oxygen." "If you fire that beam, you'll turn this house into an inferno!" "Adric, can you move?" "Tegan!" "Adric, look after her!" "I'll be back!" " We must wait for the Doctor!" " He's a dead man." "You saw what was in the cellar - the Great Reaper." "Death!" " That's what you're supposed to think." " What was it, then?" "An android." "A mechanical man." "A machine." "Your brain is addled, sir." "That was Death." "You saw the effect my pistols had on him." "Flintlocks alone won't damage an android." " Is Tegan dead?" " No, but she may be badly hurt." " Where are you going?" " Away!" "I came up here to get you." "I'd rather be sealed up in a plague house than stay here." "Help me get Adric and Tegan out." "This is part of a control bracelet." "It's used on prison planets to control difficult prisoners." "The thing you saw in the cellar comes from the same place as the bracelet." "How can that control anyone?" "Like this." "If this was on your wrist, you'd have lost control over your mind by now." "Nonsense!" "That glow is a conjuring trick!" "I am a man of the theatre." "I am not impressed by trickery, however clever it is." "Well, this is a trick you won't see done for many a day." "That's what happens when you discharge a power pack." "How does this android, as you call him, come from another world?" "There are no other worlds." "Any fool knows that." "Why are Earth people so parochial?" "(ALIEN LEADER) Who is this man?" "(TEGAN) Who said that?" "(LEADER) Answer my question!" "(ADRIC) The Doctor." "(LEADER) Where is this Doctor from?" "He's never told us." "He likes to be mysterious, although he talks a lot about Guildford." " I think that's where he's from." " You're being a very stupid woman!" "That isn't a very original observation." "(LEADER) I know he is not of this planet or time." "What rubbish!" "The Doctor has a sonic device which he used to dismantle the energy barrier." "He also has an understanding of the gas known as soliton." "We don't know about that." "You are wearing synthetic garments manufactured by technology as yet unknown on this planet." "You'll have to ask my tailor about that." "I'm asking you!" "For the last time, where are you from?" "You are asking too much of me, Doctor." " Come on, Nyssa." "Let's go." " What about Adric and Tegan?" " First we deal with the android." " How?" "We've no weapons." "No..." "We'll try modifying the sonic booster in the Tardis." "If we connect it to a frequency accelerator..." " Yes?" " We may get a high enough pitch" " to vibrate the android to pieces." " Really (?" ")" "How close would we have to get for it to have an effect?" " Very." " The android's armed!" "If it wanted, it could destroy us ten times over." "Once would be enough." "You cannot afford to improvise against an armed android!" "I don't intend to!" "If you've quite finished lecturing me," "I suggest we go back to the Tardis and get started." "That way's locked!" "Good day!" "(HOARSE, LABOURED BREATHING)" "Now, tell me about your mode of transport." "The Tardis." "A sort of time-space machine." "And where is this Tardis now?" "I don't know." "In the woods somewhere." "Only the Doctor knows where." "And you are both crew members of this ship?" "That's right." "Vital members!" "Kill us and you'll never get to ride in it!" "(BEEPING)" "It seems that your companions have abandoned you." "Perhaps you overrate your importance!" "(GROANS WITH PLEASURE)" " Where will you go?" " As far away from that house as possible!" "You won't reconsider helping us?" "Madam, it shames me to tell you, but I..." "I will not go back inside that house." "We're wasting time, Nyssa." "If you see anyone wearing a bracelet like this, stay away from them." "Yes, I will, sir." "Come on!" "Doctor!" "Doctor!" "What is that?" "Activate the poacher and his friends." "I want them to bring me the Doctor." "Then get a group of villagers to search for the Tardis." " No one here." " The place has been stripped." "Most of the hardware's up at the house, I should think." " What is this structure?" " An escape pod." "A sort of lifeboat, only from a ship that flies." " Flies?" " That's right." "How are the dimensions greater within?" "Because it buried itself on impact." "And how is it lit?" "Vintaric crystals." "Quite a common form of lighting." "I don't understand any of this." "This is all that's left of the craft that brought the android to Earth." "The lights you saw in the sky were the main part of the ship burning up in the atmosphere." "I can't believe any of the things you are telling me." " It's true." " The presence of the pod confirms it." "How do you know all these things?" "Ah!" "That would be rather difficult to explain." "But you can trust us." "Which is more than you can say for the owners of this ship." "(TRILLING)" "Bleak, isn't it?" "I'm a fool!" "I should never have told them about the Tardis." "Don't let it get you down." "If you hadn't told him, I would have." "He wasn't joking about torturing us." "We've got to get out of here." "Sure, but how?" "How many Terileptils could this pod carry?" " And androids!" " Yes, Terileptils build those things too well." "Are you sure the sonic booster can deal with it?" "It has to." "The androids are programmed to protect." " You destroy them before they destroy you." " Oh, dear!" " It didn't kill Tegan." " It wants prisoners." "It won't remain so benign." "We should hurry up with the booster." "A refresher course in android design might help." " How can you possibly get that?" " I, too, have a ship of sorts." "It's not very reliable, but its aged memory banks might contain something of use." "May I accompany you?" "Are you beginning to believe that I'm telling the truth?" "It seems I have little choice." "Let's see if the coast is clear." "(HOARSE, LABOURED BREATHING)" "It's solid." "We'd never break it down." "We'd make too much noise." "Any way through the bars on that window?" " Not without a cutting device." " The key's still in the lock." " Can you think of a way to get it in here?" " No." "Can you?" " He has a bracelet." " I see it." "They won't do any good." "You forget, sir." "I am an actor as well as a highwayman." "The bracelet overrides fear." "Unless you're prepared to use them, they're useless." "They're useless anyway." "I didn't have time to reload them." "Go back to the pod." " You are the Doctor?" " I am indeed." "How do you do?" " What's going on out there?" " "Controlled" villagers." " It didn't take them long to find us." " The poacher can smell you on the wind." " You will come with us." " Another time, perhaps." "Stop!" "Down!" "Right, we are ready to engage them." "Fire those and we could have a dozen men to contend with." " (THUMPING)" " What is that?" "Our friendly neighbourhood axeman." " He'll never cut through that." " He might hit an opening mechanism outside." "Hang on..." "There must be some sort of trigger for the escape hatch." "No..." "Yes..." "I just hope this part of the pod isn't buried." "Are you ready?" "(BEEPING)" " What are you trying to do?" " Get down!" "Let's go!" "Look!" "There's a fanlight above the door." "What's that for?" "It's a window to give natural light onto the passage." "Steady the stool for me." "I think I can move them." " Let me try." "I'm stronger." " But not as determined." " What's wrong?" " The android!" "(HOARSE, LABOURED BREATHING)" "Report." "(BUZZING STATIC, MAN MUMBLES)" "Concentrate on your thoughts!" "(MAN) Found...the Doctor...at your craft but...escaped." "We are...tracking him." "Good." "Change of order." "Follow but do not apprehend." "Report when he reaches his Tardis." "(GASPS AND GROANS)" "I'm dead." "I'm afraid my frame was never designed for rapid acceleration." "Well, you can't rest yet." "I'm not moving from this spot unless supported by a horse." " A horse?" " Yes." "The miller has one." " You could steal it." " The miller!" "Why didn't I think of that?" " You can't steal the poor man's horse!" " It's him I'm interested in." "He visits the house as he pleases." "Maybe he can help us." "You go and work on the booster while we look for him." " Alone?" " Well, you're more than capable." "We may not be able to find the miller." "We can't waste any time." "I'll be back as quickly as I can." "Even sooner if at all possible." " Now, then, which way to the mill?" " I am not moving." "Just direct me, then." "You can wait here for the poacher and his friend." "Sir, you have a very mean way of exposing a man's cowardice." "Ah!" "The object of my desire." "(SHOUTS) Hello!" "Shh, sir!" "Thievery is a matter of stealth, not hearty greetings!" "We're here to see the miller." "You are without pity, sir." " What are you doing?" " What do you think?" "I was going to unlock the door for you." "Now she tells me!" "(BEEPING)" "There is someone in the house." "Destroy them." "Go!" "Good day." "I'm the Doctor." "You must be the miller." "I'd like a word with you." "We'll only keep you a moment." " You heard what the gentleman said." " No, let him go." "Giddy-up." "Walk on." " Hurry!" " It's stiff." "You were boasting of your strength a few minutes ago!" "Get on with it." "(TEGAN) Jump!" " What about you?" " Get out of here!" "I hope you realise this means I've surrendered!" "Are you capable of carrying a tired thespian, eh?" "Nothing in there." "Let's get back to the Tardis, help Nyssa." " Now?" " At once." "Plague carriers!" "You jest, sir." "I am without plague." " The mark of the plague is on you!" " You are mistaken, sir." " We haven't got the plague." " Execute them!" "Not again!"
