1. Wait in here please, Susan. I won't be long.
Copy !req
2. - Good night.
- Good night.
Copy !req
3. Good night, Miss Wright.
Copy !req
4. - Not gone yet?
- Obviously not.
Copy !req
5. - Ask a silly question.
- I'm sorry.
Copy !req
6. It's all right. I'll forgive you this time.
Copy !req
7. Oh, I had a terrible day.
I don't know what to make of it.
Copy !req
8. - What's the trouble? Can I help?
- Oh, it's one of the girls, Susan Foreman.
Copy !req
9. Susan Foreman?
Copy !req
10. - She your problem too?
- Yes.
Copy !req
11. - You don't know what to make of her?
- No.
Copy !req
12. - How old is she, Barbara?
- Fifteen.
Copy !req
13. Fifteen. She lets her knowledge out a bit at a time
so as not to embarrass me.
Copy !req
14. That's what I feel about her.
Copy !req
15. She knows more science than I'll ever know.
She's a genius.
Copy !req
16. - Is that what she's doing with history?
- Something like that.
Copy !req
17. So your problem is whether to stay in business
or hand over the class to her?
Copy !req
18. - No, not quite.
- What, then?
Copy !req
19. Ian, I must talk to someone about this,
but I don't want to get the girl into trouble.
Copy !req
20. And I know you're going to tell me
I'm imagining things.
Copy !req
21. No, I'm not.
Copy !req
22. Well, I told you how good she is at history.
Copy !req
23. I had a talk with her
and told her she ought to specialise.
Copy !req
24. She seemed quite interested until I said
I'd be willing to work with her at her home.
Copy !req
25. Then she said that would be absolutely impossible
as her grandfather didn't like strangers.
Copy !req
26. He's a doctor, isn't he?
That's a bit of a lame excuse.
Copy !req
27. Well, I didn't pursue the point
but then recently her homework's been so bad.
Copy !req
28. Yes, I know.
Copy !req
29. Finally, I was so irritated with all her excuses
Copy !req
30. I decided to have a talk with
this grandfather of hers
Copy !req
31. - and tell him to take some interest in her.
- Did you indeed? What's the old boy like?
Copy !req
32. Well, that's just it.
I got her address from the secretary,
Copy !req
33. 76 Totter's Lane,
and I went along there one evening.
Copy !req
34. - Oh, Ian, do pay attention.
- Sorry. You went along there?
Copy !req
35. There isn't anything there.
It's just an old junkyard.
Copy !req
36. - You went to the wrong place.
- That was the address the secretary gave me.
Copy !req
37. - The secretary got it wrong, then.
- No, I checked.
Copy !req
38. There's a big wall on one side,
houses on the other and nothing in the middle.
Copy !req
39. And this nothing in the middle
is No. 76 Totter's Lane.
Copy !req
40. Hm.
Copy !req
41. That's a bit of a mystery.
Copy !req
42. - Well, there must be a simple answer somewhere.
- What?
Copy !req
43. - We'll have to find out for ourselves, won't we?
- Thank you for the "we".
Copy !req
44. She's waiting in a classroom.
I'm lending her a book on the French Revolution.
Copy !req
45. What's she going to do, rewrite it? Oh, all right.
Copy !req
46. What do we do? Ask her point-blank?
Copy !req
47. No, I thought we could drive there,
wait till she arrives and see where she goes.
Copy !req
48. - Oh, all right.
- That is, if you're not doing anything.
Copy !req
49. No, I'm not. After you.
Copy !req
50. Susan.
Copy !req
51. Oh, I'm sorry, Miss Wright.
I didn't hear you coming in.
Copy !req
52. - Aren't they fabulous?
- Who?
Copy !req
53. It's John Smith and the Common Men.
They've gone from 19 to 2.
Copy !req
54. Oh.
Copy !req
55. John Smith is the stage name
of the honourable Aubrey Waites.
Copy !req
56. He started his career as Chris Waites
and the Carollers, didn't he, Susan?
Copy !req
57. You are surprising, Mr Chesterton.
I wouldn't expect you to know things like that.
Copy !req
58. I have an enquiring mind.
And a very sensitive ear.
Copy !req
59. Oh, I'm sorry.
Copy !req
60. Thank you.
Copy !req
61. - Is that the book you promised me?
- Yes.
Copy !req
62. Thank you very much. It will be interesting.
Copy !req
63. - I'll return it tomorrow.
- Oh, that's not necessary.
Copy !req
64. - Keep it until you've finished it.
- I'll have finished it.
Copy !req
65. Oh, where do you live, Susan?
Copy !req
66. I'm giving Miss Wright a lift,
I've room for one more.
Copy !req
67. Um, no, thank you, Mr Chesterton.
I like walking through the dark.
Copy !req
68. It's mysterious.
Copy !req
69. Be careful, Susan,
there'll probably be fog again tonight.
Copy !req
70. Hm.
Copy !req
71. - See you in the morning.
- I expect so.
Copy !req
72. - Good night.
- Good night.
Copy !req
73. Good night, Susan.
Copy !req
74. But that's not right.
Copy !req
75. Over there.
Copy !req
76. Lucky there was no fog. I'd never have found this.
Copy !req
77. Well, she doesn't seem to have arrived yet.
Copy !req
78. I suppose we are doing the right thing, aren't we?
Copy !req
79. - You can't justify curiosity.
- But her homework?
Copy !req
80. A bit of an excuse really, isn't it?
I've seen far worse.
Copy !req
81. The truth is we're both curious about Susan
Copy !req
82. and we won't be happy
until we know some of the answers.
Copy !req
83. You can't just pass it off like that.
Copy !req
84. If I thought I was just being a busybody,
I'd go straight home.
Copy !req
85. I thought you agreed she was a bit of a mystery.
Copy !req
86. Yes, but I think you'll find
there's a very simple explanation to all this.
Copy !req
87. Well, I don't know how you explain the fact
Copy !req
88. that a teenage girl does not know
how many shillings there are in a pound.
Copy !req
89. - Really?
- Really.
Copy !req
90. She said she thought we were on
the decimal system.
Copy !req
91. Decimal system?
Copy !req
92. - I'm sorry, Miss Wright.
- Don't be silly, Susan.
Copy !req
93. The United States has a decimal system.
You know perfectly well that we do not.
Copy !req
94. Of course, the decimal system hasn't started yet.
Copy !req
95. I suppose she couldn't be a foreigner...
No, doesn't make sense.
Copy !req
96. Nothing about this girl makes sense.
Copy !req
97. For instance, the other day
I was talking about chemical changes,
Copy !req
98. I'd given out the litmus paper
to show cause and effect...
Copy !req
99. - And she knew the answer before you'd started.
- Not quite.
Copy !req
100. The answer simply didn't interest her.
Copy !req
101. I can see red turns to blue, Mr Chesterton,
Copy !req
102. but that's because we're dealing with
two inactive chemicals.
Copy !req
103. They only act in relation to each other.
Copy !req
104. But that's the whole point
of the experiment, Susan.
Copy !req
105. Yes, it's a bit obvious, isn't it?
Copy !req
106. Well, I'm not trying to be rude,
Copy !req
107. but couldn't we deal with two active chemicals
then red could turn blue all by itself
Copy !req
108. and we could get on with something else?
Copy !req
109. I'm sorry, it was just an idea.
Copy !req
110. She means it.
These simple experiments are child's play to her.
Copy !req
111. It's almost got to the point
where I deliberately want to trip her up.
Copy !req
112. Yes! Something like that happened the other day.
Copy !req
113. I'd set the class a problem
with A, B and C as the three dimensions.
Copy !req
114. It's impossible unless you use D and E.
Copy !req
115. D and E? Whatever for?
Copy !req
116. Do the problem that's set, Susan.
Copy !req
117. I can't, Mr Chesterton.
You can't simply work on three of the dimensions.
Copy !req
118. Three of them?
Copy !req
119. Oh, time being the fourth, I suppose?
Copy !req
120. Then what do you need E for?
Copy !req
121. What do you make the fifth dimension?
Copy !req
122. Space.
Copy !req
123. Too many questions and not enough answers.
Copy !req
124. Stupid or just doesn't know.
Copy !req
125. So we have a 15-year-old girl
Copy !req
126. who is absolutely brilliant at some things
and excruciatingly bad at others.
Copy !req
127. There she is.
Copy !req
128. Look, can we go in?
I hate to think of her alone in that place.
Copy !req
129. If she is alone.
Copy !req
130. Look, she is 15. She might be meeting a boy.
Copy !req
131. - Didn't that occur to you?
- I almost hope she is.
Copy !req
132. - What do you mean?
- Well, it would be so wonderfully normal.
Copy !req
133. It's silly, isn't it? I feel frightened.
Copy !req
134. As if we're about to interfere
in something that is best left alone.
Copy !req
135. Come on, let's get it over with.
Copy !req
136. Well, don't you feel it?
Copy !req
137. I take things as they come. Come on.
Copy !req
138. What a mess.
Copy !req
139. We're not turning over
any of this stuff to find her.
Copy !req
140. Over there?
Copy !req
141. - Blast! I've dropped it.
- What?
Copy !req
142. The torch.
Copy !req
143. - Well, use a match.
- No, I haven't got any.
Copy !req
144. Oh, never mind.
Copy !req
145. - Susan.
- Susan.
Copy !req
146. Susan?
Copy !req
147. Susan.
Copy !req
148. Susan.
Copy !req
149. Mr Chesterton and Miss Wright.
Copy !req
150. She can't have got out without us seeing her.
Copy !req
151. Ian, look at this.
Copy !req
152. Well, it's a police box.
Copy !req
153. What on earth's it doing here?
Copy !req
154. These things are usually on the street...
Copy !req
155. Feel it.
Copy !req
156. Feel it. Do you feel it?
Copy !req
157. It's a faint vibration.
Copy !req
158. It's alive!
Copy !req
159. It's not connected to anything,
unless it's through the floor.
Copy !req
160. - I've had enough. Let's go and find a policeman.
- Yes, all right.
Copy !req
161. - Is that her?
- That's not her.
Copy !req
162. Quick!
Copy !req
163. There you are, Grandfather!
Copy !req
164. - It's Susan.
- Shh!
Copy !req
165. - Excuse me.
- What are you doing here?
Copy !req
166. We're looking for a girl.
Copy !req
167. - We?
- Good evening.
Copy !req
168. What do you want?
Copy !req
169. One of our pupils, Susan Foreman,
came into this yard.
Copy !req
170. - Really? In here? Are you sure?
- Yes, we saw her from across the street.
Copy !req
171. - One of their pupils. Not the police, then.
- I beg your pardon?
Copy !req
172. Why were you spying on her? Who are you?
Copy !req
173. We heard a young girl's voice call out to you.
Copy !req
174. Your hearing must be very acute.
I didn't hear anything.
Copy !req
175. - It came from in here.
- You imagined it.
Copy !req
176. - I certainly did not imagine it.
- Young man,
Copy !req
177. is it reasonable to suppose that anybody
would be inside a cupboard like that?
Copy !req
178. Would it, therefore, be unreasonable
to ask you to let us have a look inside?
Copy !req
179. I wonder why I've never seen that before.
Copy !req
180. Now isn't that strange. Very damp and dirty.
Copy !req
181. Won't you help us? We're two of her teachers
from the Coal Hill School.
Copy !req
182. We saw her come in
and we haven't seen her leave.
Copy !req
183. Naturally, we're worried.
Copy !req
184. to be cleaned. Hm?
Copy !req
185. Oh, I'm afraid it's none of my business.
I suggest you leave here.
Copy !req
186. Not until we're satisfied that Susan isn't here.
Copy !req
187. - And, frankly, I don't understand your attitude.
- Yours leaves a lot to be desired.
Copy !req
188. - Will you open the door?
- There's nothing in there.
Copy !req
189. - Then what are you afraid to show us?
- Afraid? Oh, go away.
Copy !req
190. - I think we'd better go and fetch a policeman.
- Very well.
Copy !req
191. - And you're coming with us.
- Oh, am I?
Copy !req
192. I don't think so, young man. No, I don't think so.
Copy !req
193. - We can't force him.
- But we can't leave him here.
Copy !req
194. Doesn't it seem obvious to you
he's got her locked up in there?
Copy !req
195. Look at it, there's no door handle.
There must be a secret lock somewhere.
Copy !req
196. - That was Susan's voice.
- But of course it was.
Copy !req
197. Susan!
Copy !req
198. Susan! Are you in there?
It's Mr Chesterton and Miss Wright, Susan.
Copy !req
199. Don't you think
you're being rather high-handed, young man?
Copy !req
200. You thought you saw a young girl enter the yard.
You imagine you heard her voice.
Copy !req
201. You believe she might be in there.
Not very substantial, is it?
Copy !req
202. - But why won't you help us?
- I'm not hindering you.
Copy !req
203. If you both want to make fools of yourselves,
I suggest you do what you said you'd do.
Copy !req
204. - Go and find a policeman.
- While you nip off quietly in the other direction.
Copy !req
205. Insulting.
Copy !req
206. There's only one way in and out of this yard.
I shall be here when you get back.
Copy !req
207. I want to see your faces when you try
to explain away your behaviour to a policeman.
Copy !req
208. Nevertheless, we're going to find one.
Come on, Barbara.
Copy !req
209. What are you doing out there?
- She is in there!
Copy !req
210. - Close the door!
- Barbara!
Copy !req
211. Close the door, Susan.
Copy !req
212. I believe these people are known to you?
Copy !req
213. They're two of my schoolteachers.
Copy !req
214. - What are you doing here?
Where are we?
Copy !req
215. They must've followed you. That ridiculous school.
Copy !req
216. I knew something like this would happen
if we stayed in one place too long.
Copy !req
217. Why should they follow me?
Copy !req
218. - Is this really where you live, Susan?
- Yes.
Copy !req
219. - And what's wrong with it?
- But it was just a telephone box.
Copy !req
220. Perhaps.
Copy !req
221. - And this is your grandfather?
- Yes.
Copy !req
222. - Well, why didn't you tell us that?
- I don't discuss my private life with strangers.
Copy !req
223. But it was a police telephone box.
I walked all round it. Barbara, you saw me.
Copy !req
224. You don't deserve any explanations, you pushed
your way in here uninvited and unwelcome.
Copy !req
225. - I think we ought to leave.
- Just a minute.
Copy !req
226. - I know this is absurd but...
- Oh, dear, dear.
Copy !req
227. - I walked all around it.
- It's stopped again, you know, and I tried... Hm?
Copy !req
228. - Oh, you wouldn't understand.
- But I want to understand!
Copy !req
229. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
Copy !req
230. By the way, Susan, I managed to find
a replacement for that faulty filament.
Copy !req
231. Bit of an amateur job, but I think it'll serve.
Copy !req
232. - It's an illusion, it must be.
- What is he talking about now?
Copy !req
233. What are you doing here?
Copy !req
234. You don't understand so you find excuses.
Copy !req
235. Illusions, indeed?
Copy !req
236. You say you can't fit an enormous building
into one of your smaller sitting rooms.
Copy !req
237. No.
Copy !req
238. - But you've discovered television, haven't you?
- Yes.
Copy !req
239. Then by showing an enormous building
on your television screen,
Copy !req
240. you can do what seemed impossible, couldn't you?
Copy !req
241. - Well, yes, but I still don't know...
- Not quite clear, is it?
Copy !req
242. I can see by your face that you're not certain.
You don't understand.
Copy !req
243. And I knew you wouldn't! Never mind.
Copy !req
244. Now, which switch was it? No. No, no.
Copy !req
245. Ah, yes. That is it.
Copy !req
246. The point is not whether you understand.
What is going to happen to you?
Copy !req
247. Hm?
Copy !req
248. - They'll tell everybody about the ship now.
- Ship?
Copy !req
249. Yes, yes. Ship.
This doesn't roll along on wheels, you know.
Copy !req
250. You mean it moves?
Copy !req
251. - The Tardis can go anywhere.
- Tardis?
Copy !req
252. I don't understand you, Susan.
Copy !req
253. I made up the name Tardis from the initials,
Copy !req
254. Time And Relative Dimension In Space.
Copy !req
255. I thought you'd understand when you saw the
different dimensions inside from those outside.
Copy !req
256. Let me get this straight.
Copy !req
257. A thing that looks like a police box,
standing in a junkyard,
Copy !req
258. - it can move anywhere in time and space?
- Yes.
Copy !req
259. - Quite so.
- But that's ridiculous!
Copy !req
260. - Why won't they believe us?
- How can we?
Copy !req
261. Now, now, don't get exasperated, Susan.
Remember the Red Indian.
Copy !req
262. When he saw the first steam train,
his savage mind thought it an illusion, too.
Copy !req
263. - You're treating us like children.
- Am I?
Copy !req
264. Children of my civilisation would be insulted.
Copy !req
265. - Your civilisation?
- Yes, my civilisation.
Copy !req
266. I tolerate this century, but I don't enjoy it.
Copy !req
267. Have you ever thought what it's like
to be wanderers in the fourth dimension?
Copy !req
268. Have you?
Copy !req
269. To be exiles.
Copy !req
270. Susan and I are cut off from our own planet,
without friends or protection.
Copy !req
271. But one day we shall get back.
Copy !req
272. Yes, one day.
Copy !req
273. One day.
Copy !req
274. It's true. Every word of it's true.
Copy !req
275. You don't know what you've done coming here.
Copy !req
276. Grandfather, let them go now. Please.
Copy !req
277. Look, if they don't understand,
they can't hurt us at all.
Copy !req
278. I understand these people better than you.
Their minds reject things they don't understand.
Copy !req
279. No.
Copy !req
280. He can't keep us here!
Copy !req
281. Susan, listen to me.
Copy !req
282. Can't you see that all this is an illusion?
Copy !req
283. It's a game that you
and your grandfather are playing, if you like.
Copy !req
284. But you can't expect us to believe it.
Copy !req
285. - It's not a game.
- But Susan...
Copy !req
286. It's not!
Copy !req
287. Look, I love your school.
Copy !req
288. I love England in the 20th century.
Copy !req
289. The last five months have been
the happiest of my life.
Copy !req
290. But you are one of us.
You look like us, you sound like us.
Copy !req
291. I was born in another time. Another world.
Copy !req
292. Now look here, Susan...
Copy !req
293. Come on, Barbara, let's get out of here.
Copy !req
294. It's no use, you can't get out. He won't let you go.
Copy !req
295. He closed the door from over there. I saw him.
Copy !req
296. Now, which is it? Which is it?
Copy !req
297. - Which control operates the door?
- You still think it's all an illusion?
Copy !req
298. I know that free movement in time and space
is a scientific dream
Copy !req
299. I don't expect to find solved in a junkyard.
Copy !req
300. Your arrogance is nearly as great
as your ignorance.
Copy !req
301. Will you open the door? Open the door!
Copy !req
302. - Susan, will you help us?
- I mustn't.
Copy !req
303. Very well, then. I'll have to risk it myself.
Copy !req
304. I can't stop you.
Copy !req
305. Don't touch it. It's live!
Copy !req
306. Ian! What on earth do you think you're doing?
Copy !req
307. Grandfather, let them go now, please.
Copy !req
308. And by tomorrow we shall be a public spectacle.
A subject for news and idle gossip.
Copy !req
309. But they won't say anything.
Copy !req
310. My dear child, of course they will.
Put yourself in their place.
Copy !req
311. They are bound to make some sort of a complaint
to the authorities.
Copy !req
312. Or at the very least talk to their friends.
Copy !req
313. If I do let them go, Susan,
you realise, of course, we must go, too.
Copy !req
314. - No, Grandfather, we've had all this...
- There's no alternative, child.
Copy !req
315. I want to stay!
Copy !req
316. But they're both kind people.
Why won't you trust them?
Copy !req
317. All you've got to do is ask them to promise
to keep our secret...
Copy !req
318. It's out of the question.
Copy !req
319. I won't go, Grandfather.
I won't leave the 20th century.
Copy !req
320. - I'd rather leave the Tardis and you.
- Now you're being sentimental and childish.
Copy !req
321. No, I mean it.
Copy !req
322. Very well. Then you must go with them.
Copy !req
323. - I'll open the door.
- Are you coming, Susan?
Copy !req
324. Oh, no, Grandfather! No!
Copy !req
325. - Let me go.
