"(DOCTOR WHO THEME)" "He'll catch us!" "SPIDER:" "I'll get help from Metebelis." "Concentrate!" "Concentrate!" "(HIGH-PITCHED WHIRRING)" "Clever Lupton." "Pretty." "Mr. Lupton." "(DOOR SLAMS)" "(SIGHS)" "(LAUGHS)" "We've done it." "SPIDER:" "Yes, we've done it." "Together." "Will this give us power?" "More power than you dared to dream of." "Veil your mind!" "You must cloak your ambition." "I can understand it, perhaps I share it, but if my sisters on Metebelis 3 were to have an inkling of your thoughts, they would kill you." "Beware!" "They seek to make the link." "QUEEN SPIDER:" "We are successful?" "SPIDER:" "Totally." "The crystal is ours." "QUEEN SPIDER:" "You have done well." "SPIDER:" "I thank you, O Queen." "QUEEN SPIDER:" "Now you must prepare to return, bringing the crystal with you." "SPIDER:" "It shall be done." "What about me?" "Am I to be forgotten?" "QUEEN SPIDER:" "You are not necessary!" "Oh, but I am." "Without me, you would never have recovered your precious crystal." "I've..." "I've been your friend." "QUEEN SPIDER:" "A friend?" "A two-leg dares to claim friendship with the eight-legs, the noble ones?" "SPIDER:" "He means no harm, O Queen and it is true that he has served us well." "QUEEN SPIDER:" "Very well." "His reward will be to serve us further." "We could use him in the great work, the conquest of Earth." "SPIDER:" "Conquest?" "QUEEN SPIDER:" "This is the secret purpose of the Great One." "SPIDERS:" "All praise to the Great One!" "QUEEN SPIDER:" "That is why she requires the crystal." "We shall return to our rightful home, Earth, as rulers." "We have exhausted our power." "Be ready to return." "Be ready." "SPIDER:" "Rest now." "Let the power return to your body, and to your mind." "Sleep, Lupton, sleep." "I can understand your distress at losing a valuable piece of equipment, uh, Doctor?" "However, I feel you are mistaken in suggesting that Mr Lupton had anything to do with it." "SARAH:" "But I saw him." "I recognised him." "When?" "How far away from here?" "Oh, about 80 miles, I should say." "And we lost sight of him at about half past ten or thereabouts." "At half past ten, I was walking to the meditation class and I saw Mr Lupton in the corridor." "But..." "But that's impossible." "Precisely." "So one of us is mistaken." "You cannot believe he was transported here in the winking of an eye." "No, no, of course not." "Well, stranger things have happened." "You can say that again." "Much stranger." "CHO-JE:" "As we both know, such things are child's play to a master of sorcery, but you cannot believe that Mr Lupton is a sorcerer." "(CHUCKLES) We have no magicians here, I do assure you." "Lupton." "Lupton, wake up." "Wake up!" "(LUPTON GRUNTING)" "What is it?" "That girl's back." "She's brought somebody with her called the Doctor." "Has she indeed?" "Now they're saying that you..." "Then it's true." "Lupton, we've got to stop this." "We're meddling in things we don't understand." "Are we now." "Now listen to me." "Is that thing on your back at this moment?" "How very strange." "No, it's not." "Right, let's get away from here." "Now, while the going's good." "(CLICKS TONGUE) Barnes, do you know why I came to this place?" "No, not really." "(SIGHING) All right." "Potted history coming up." "Picture me, bright young salesman." "Salesman of the year, Sales Manager, Sales Director." "I gave them 25 years of my life!" "Are you with me so far?" "Yes, yes." "Then the finance boys moved in." "Merger, takeover, golden handshake." "Me, out on the streets." "I could even have taken that..." "But when I tried to set up on my own, they deliberately, cold bloodedly" "broke me." "I'm still looking for some of the bits." "So you came here to get peace of mind?" "(LAUGHS) I came here to get power." "Do you think I'm going to go let go now when it's in sight?" "When I can see myself taking over that firm, taking over the country, the entire stinking world." "I want to see them grovel," "I want to see them breaking their hearts," "I want to see them eating dirt." "I came here just to look for peace of mind." "(PANTING)" "Ah, pretty." "All Tommy's pretties." "So what are we going to do?" "When I've learned how to use that crystal," "I shan't need the spiders any more." "Lupton, look!" "SPIDER:" "Your master will come to fetch you soon." "My master?" "You mean Cho-Je?" "Why?" "To talk to the Doctor." "Is it speaking to you?" "What's it saying?" "Send this fool away." "Very well." "Off you go, Barnes." "What are we going to do?" "Later, man, later." "(SIGHING) Oh, very well." "(DOOR CLOSING)" "We must prepare to meet this Doctor." "I see no necessity." "He could be dangerous." "LUPTON:" "So could I. So could I." "SPIDER:" "You will go to see him." "I shall not." "You forget, Lupton." "We are linked together now." "I can twist your mind as easily as a two-leg boy twists another's arm." "Like this!" "(GRUNTING IN PAIN)" "Oh, stop!" "You won't need the spiders any more." "Isn't that what you said?" "Stop, I can't bear it!" "Say please." "Please!" "Oh." "You will go to see the Doctor and lull his suspicions." "In future, you will do as I wish." "What did you do to my mind?" "It felt like red-hot needles." "Was it..." "Was it this that you did?" "Or no." "No, was it this!" "(EXCLAIMING IN PAIN)" "No!" "No, stop." "Say please." "Please, Lupton!" "Please!" "(SPIDER WHIMPERING)" "You are cleverer than the two-legs on Metebelis 3." "I'm cleverer than most of them on Earth." "Very well, you need not see this man." "Come, we must make ready." "I'm not going to Metebelis 3 just to become a slave to that Queen of yours." "I like her arrogance no more than you do." "You seek power on Earth." "I shall seize it on Metebelis." "We can help each other." "Turn around." "Very well." "SPIDER:" "Now, the crystal." "It's gone." "The crystal has gone!" "Look, Venerable, may we see this man Lupton now?" "I'm sorry to seem pushy, but it is very important." "It is good that we have come to the west." "You whip your poor horse too much." "He gallops so hard that he is exhausted and yet, you know, he never leaves his stable." "Now what's that supposed to mean?" "I think he's saying that, uh, time is an illusion." "And it'll all be the same in 100 years." "Yes, where have I heard that before?" "There is only the now." "TOMMY: (WHISPERING) Hey." "Hey." "The here and the now." "The present moment will have to..." "Hello, Tommy." "Hello, Sarah Jane Smith." "Tommy like you." "Well, I like you too." "You give Tommy nice presents, it's pretty." "Oh, I haven't got another one, I'm afraid." "No, no." "Tommy got nice present for Sarah Jane Smith." "You come." "Oh, well, not just now, Tommy." "You come, Sarah Jane Smith." "Okay, okay, but we'll have to be quick." "I suppose it'll mean something to me in the end." "Ah, the meaning of meaning is the last barrier to understanding." "Yes, uh, Venerable, could we see Mr Lupton now please?" "But of course." "Mr Moss?" "If you would both wait here, this gentleman will find Mr Lupton for you." "Of course." "Excuse me, Doctor." "I didn't take it." "I wouldn't know what to do with it if I had it." "But you saw it?" "Well, of course I did." "You put it on the table." "Could it have been sent to Metebelis 3?" "SPIDER:" "No, my sisters haven't the power, you remember." "The crystal must still be on Earth." "Then we must find it." "There is no time." "The power is building fast." "We must be ready!" "We don't have to go." "If the Queen finds out that we have lost the crystal, she'll kill us both." "LUPTON:" "Right, we'll bluff them." "We'll pretend we've still got it." "But they'll never believe it." "We have no choice." "Now, listen, Barnes." "Perhaps you've gone mad, hearing voices, talking to yourself." "You saw the spider, didn't you?" "Perhaps I've gone mad too." "(SARAH GIGGLING)" "You stay." "Tommy get present." "Secret." "(BOTH SHUSHING)" "(SIGHS)" "BARNES:" "Shall I look for the others then?" "No, no, no." "I'll go through the ritual by myself." "In the cellar?" "Now?" "LUPTON:" "Yes, yes." "See if you can keep the others away for half an hour or so, will you?" "Lupton, Cho-Je wants you to meet some fellow with Yates." "Yes, I know, I know." "Tell him, um..." "Tell him you can't find me." "I'll need the mandala." "Sarah Jane Smith." "Oh, not now, Tommy." "No, I..." "SARAH:" "No, not now." "Tommy, you know Mike Yates, don't you?" "Yates." "He give Tommy present!" "Yes, yes, well, listen, Tommy." "Now listen carefully." "I want you to go and find Mike Yates and tell him..." "Tell him that Lupton has gone down to the cellar." "Cellar..." "And that I'm going down there too." "(STUTTERING) You..." "Cellar..." "Okay?" "Yes, look, I've got to go." "I must get there first." "Cellar, Tommy." "But Sarah Jane Smith, your present!" "Yates." "(LUPTON CHANTING)" "This is ridiculous." "Where's that fellow got to?" "Yates." "Cellar..." "Cellar." "Not now, Tommy." "Not now." "I tell you, mister, the cellar." "I think he's trying to tell you something important, Mike." "It always is." "Ah, there you are!" "I'm sorry." "I can't find Lupton anywhere." "Lupton!" "MOSS:" "He's not in his room, he's not meditating." "He's probably gone for a walk." "Lupton in the cellar!" "What?" "Sarah Jane Smith in the cellar!" "Where is this cellar, Mike?" "I'll show you." "Hey, hey, mister!" "I tell him." "Tommy did it." "You certainly did." "(CHANTING INTENSIFIES)" "SARAH:" "Doctor!" "Mike!" "SARAH:" "Doctor, come quickly!" "Get out of my way!" "Sarah, get off that mandala!" "I can't!" "(GASPING)" "Barnes?" "He's gone." "Well, never mind." "I doubt if he could have told us very much anyway." "Well, there's only one thing for me to do, Mike." "I've got to get after her, to Metebelis 3." "In the Tardis?" "Yes, of course." "But how can you be sure you'll get there?" "Well, the Tardis may be a little erratic, I'll admit, after all, she is getting on a bit." "But Metebelis 3 is the one planet I can be absolutely certain of reaching." "You see, I wired the coordinates into the programmer." "Yes, but..." "But, Doctor, a planet's a big place." "Yes, well, I always leave the actual landing to the Tardis herself." "She's no fool, you know." "You speak as if she were alive." "Yes." "Yes, I do, don't I?" "Bye, Mike." "TUAR:" "I found a spy!" "SABOR:" "Tuar, you're a fool." "If she's a spy, you've condemned us all." "We're as good as dead." "Look, I'm tired of waiting." "The eight-legs'll kill us all anyway." "It's time we fought back." "It will do us no good speaking treason." "Release her!" "Release her, I say!" "Who are you?" "How did you come here?" "SARAH:" "Um..." "Oh, don't waste time, Rega." "She's a spy." "We must kill her." "Eh?" "Already we're in danger." "Do you want the whole village wiped out?" "Remember Skorda." "But I'm not a spy." "I don't know who you are or anything." "TUAR:" "You're lying." "Well, anyway, who am I supposed to be spying for?" "The spiders?" "(ALL EXCLAIM)" "You see?" "Who but a spy would dare use a forbidden word?" "We must kill her before she can betray us." "SARAH:" "No, no!" "Tuar, No!" "(ALL SHOUTING)" "(SARAH SCREAMING)" "Stop!" "Tuar, stop!" "Arak!" "Arak!" "Come back inside, my son!" "Let her go!" "She may be telling the truth." "Let her go." "(SARAH GASPING)" "You will follow her, my brother." "She's a spy." "Rubbish." "She is a stranger." "Look at her clothes." "TUAR:" "A stranger?" "Where from?" "Why not ask her?" "Where do you come from, child?" "I'm..." "I'm from Earth." "From Earth?" "But how?" "Did you come in a starship like our ancestors did?" "Uh, no." "Um..." "Well, I don't know how I got here, actually." "You see?" "She's lying." "Tell the truth, girl." "How many of you?" "Where's your ship?" "(TRUMPET BLARING)" "Mother, listen!" "The Queen of the eight-legs is coming." "Quickly, my son." "Get back into hiding." "Come." "She'll betray you!" "She'll betray us all!" "What is it?" "What's happening?" "Be quiet." "Keep silent, girl." "You will bring death to us all." "Hear now, Huar, most noble of the noble ones," "Queen of the eight-legs, speaks thus." "Arak, male two-leg, having attacked field guard, Draga, leaving him for dead, the same Arak will now surrender himself." "If Arak does not come forth, one male two-leg will be taken from each family of the settlement to suffer the retribution due for the foul crime of Arak." "I must go, Mother." "No!" "No!" "I'll speak to the Queen." "Maybe she'll listen to me." "No, Sabor, it's too dangerous." "The people need Arak." "They trust him, they listen to him." "He's our last chance." "That's true, Arak." "GUARD:" "Arak, come forth!" "Sabor, where is your son?" "I beg leave to speak to the Queen." "QUEEN SPIDER:" "Speak, Sabor." "Draga is a bad field guard." "He's unfair, he's cruel." "He struck Neska, Arak's mother, for no good reason." "QUEEN SPIDER:" "Silence!" "This is not to the point." "Did he or did he not strike my guard?" "SABOR:" "He did, but surely there's a..." "Then he must die." "Where is he?" "He's gone to the hills." "GUARD:" "How do you know?" "Because I helped him." "No!" "Look, it's no good!" "If you go out there, they'll kill you both." "QUEEN SPIDER:" "You know the penalty?" "You know that you will take his place?" "Yes." "Very well." "Justice is satisfied." "Let us return." "What's going to happen to him?" "The eight-legs will eat him, of course." "No!" "No, I shan't." "You shan't take him!" "Sabor, my husband, my love!" "Why did you do it?" "Why?" "Why?" "Woman, get back!" "This is the best way I know." "NESKA:" "I shan't let them take you." "I shan't, I shan't." "Guard!" "REGA:" "Mother!" "Mother!" "QUEEN SPIDER:" "Wait!" "There is a stranger here." "Guards!" "She saw me." "They're coming." "The guards are coming!" "See?" "She has betrayed you." "Quick, you must hide." "No." "They mustn't find you." "Okay, okay." "I'll come quietly." "(WHOOSHING)" "Hello, Sarah Jane." "GUARD:" "Stop!" "Don't do that." "Let him approach." "GUARD:" "You will kneel to the most noble Queen." "The Queen?" "Oh, yes." "Yes, of course." "Greetings, O most noble Queen." "May I ask what you intend to do with this young lady?" "QUEEN SPIDER:" "You do not speak like a two-leg." "Where have you come from?" "Both Miss Smith and I come from Earth, your Majesty." "From Earth?" "Then you are the one who..." "No." "No, that cannot be." "We shall return." "Bring this two-leg." "We shall question him with the female." "DOCTOR:" "Now just a minute, your Majesty." "GUARD:" "Over there!" "(DOCTOR SHOUTING)" "(SARAH SCREAMS)" "(CROWD CHATTERING)" "(GUARD GRUNTING)"
