1. I brought you your dinner
and your copy of The Times.
Copy !req
2. Tell your master that the Reverend
Ernest Matthews has arrived.
Copy !req
3. Well, this house is
Gabriel Chase, is it not?
Copy !req
4. Yes, sir. But excuse me, sir.
Copy !req
5. As I understood it, you would
not be arriving until this evening.
Copy !req
6. My patience has already
been sorely tried
Copy !req
7. by the interminable journey from Oxford.
Copy !req
8. Professor, 30-second penalty.
Copy !req
9. Just get on with it.
Copy !req
10. It's all part of the initiative test.
Copy !req
11. You're still a lousy Parker.
Copy !req
12. - Hey, playtime.
- Well?
Copy !req
13. It's a laboratory.
Copy !req
14. Oh, no, could be a nursery,
Copy !req
15. but the kids would have to be
pretty advanced and creepy.
Copy !req
16. Be concise!
Copy !req
17. - It's well safe, Professor.
- Oh, very succinct.
Copy !req
18. - It must be Earth.
- You tell me.
Copy !req
19. This equipment's prehistoric.
Copy !req
20. I like the toys, though.
Copy !req
21. Oh, those things are pretty sick.
Copy !req
22. I can't stand dead things.
Must be Victorian.
Copy !req
23. It's a surprise.
Copy !req
24. It's all right, my dears. Don't worry.
Copy !req
25. - Our day is done.
Copy !req
26. We shan't stay here a moment longer.
Copy !req
27. And heaven help anyone
who's still here after dark.
Copy !req
28. This isn't a haunted house,
is it, Professor?
Copy !req
29. I told you I've got this
thing about haunted houses.
Copy !req
30. - Did you tell me that?
- Yes!
Copy !req
31. How many have you been in?
Copy !req
32. One was enough.
Copy !req
33. Never again.
Copy !req
34. I think you should go
and greet our guests, my dear.
Copy !req
35. We used to go to museums
on school trips.
Copy !req
36. It was always,
"Don't touch, don't wander off,"
Copy !req
37. "don't give the school a bad name."
Copy !req
38. We still did it, though.
Copy !req
39. The front door's this way.
Copy !req
40. Hello. What's your name?
Copy !req
41. You got stuffed,
and it wasn't even Christmas.
Copy !req
42. - Ace.
- See you later.
Copy !req
43. What do you make of that?
Copy !req
44. Don't know. Whose initials are RFC?
Copy !req
45. Oh...! It's your initiative test.
Copy !req
46. So I'm asking the questions.
Copy !req
47. When was the Royal Flying Corp
invented?
Copy !req
48. Ah, the name
wasn't thought up until 1912.
Copy !req
49. I'll get you
a badge, if you like.
Copy !req
50. Ask me another.
Copy !req
51. Who is RFC?
Copy !req
52. - Professor, I'm only looking.
- Looking's one thing.
Copy !req
53. It's radioactive.
Copy !req
54. Very slightly.
Copy !req
55. - Is it safe?
- There is no safe level.
Copy !req
56. What about RFC?
Copy !req
57. Well, let's hope he abandoned it
before he came to any harm...
Copy !req
58. Zulu assegai.
Copy !req
59. Quite lethal.
Copy !req
60. - Where did you find it?
- Here. I wouldn't touch it, if I were you.
Copy !req
61. This is my friend, Ace,
and I'm the Doctor.
Copy !req
62. I'm a fellow of the Royal
Geographical Society.
Copy !req
63. Really? So am I, several times over.
Copy !req
64. Is it your snuffbox?
Copy !req
65. Please, young lady,
you're barely dressed.
Copy !req
66. Who's undressed?
Copy !req
67. Excuse my young friend.
She comes from a less civilised clime.
Copy !req
68. What do you want me to do,
wrap up in a curtain?
Copy !req
69. Be quiet, noble savage.
Copy !req
70. I'm sure in central Africa you've
seen far grislier sights than Ace's ankle.
Copy !req
71. - He can't see my ankles.
- Well, your boots, then.
Copy !req
72. You're a big game hunter, I take it?
Copy !req
73. I am, but I've seen nothing that equals the
atrocities that are rumoured about this house.
Copy !req
74. Is this the surprise, Professor?
Copy !req
75. Because I'm not impressed.
Copy !req
76. I must say I'm very grateful
to find an ally, Doctor.
Copy !req
77. - You are?
- You have given me the proof I needed.
Copy !req
78. - The snuffbox.
Don't touch it!
Copy !req
79. This is my first
substantial evidence I've found.
Copy !req
80. I came here to find
Redvers Fenn-Cooper,
Copy !req
81. one of the finest explorers in the empire.
Copy !req
82. RFC.
Copy !req
83. I just knew he was in this house.
Copy !req
84. I'm commanded to find him
Copy !req
85. and save him
from the clutches of that blackguard,
Copy !req
86. Josiah Samuel Smith.
Copy !req
87. Are you aware
that I have been ringing for attention
Copy !req
88. since before six o'clock?
Copy !req
89. I demand to see
your master immediately.
Copy !req
90. This insolence has gone far enough.
Copy !req
91. If I leave now, madam,
Mr Smith will regret the consequences.
Copy !req
92. The condemnation
of the Royal Society can be ruinous.
Copy !req
93. So be it.
Copy !req
94. Reverend Matthews, you must forgive
us for keeping you waiting.
Copy !req
95. I am Mr Smith's ward.
Copy !req
96. You are Gwendoline, are you not?
Copy !req
97. Yes, sir.
Copy !req
98. My guardian was most concerned that
you'd been kept waiting.
Copy !req
99. But be assured he'll join us shortly.
Copy !req
100. Josiah Smith invited Redvers here.
Copy !req
101. Redvers is his sternest opponent and...
Copy !req
102. One of the finest explorers in the empire.
Copy !req
103. He hasn't been seen since.
Copy !req
104. Perhaps he got lost on the way.
Copy !req
105. Henry Stanley found Dr Livingstone.
Copy !req
106. I shall find Redvers Fenn-Cooper.
Copy !req
107. - Damn tsetse flies.
Copy !req
108. How long did you say
you've been living in this house?
Copy !req
109. Can we go now, Professor?
Copy !req
110. The whole place gives me the creeps.
Copy !req
111. - I thought it might.
- Well, he's a head case.
Copy !req
112. The house is a morgue.
Copy !req
113. Everything dead.
Copy !req
114. Very good, sir, I understand.
Copy !req
115. I shall be with you shortly.
Copy !req
116. Poor silent brute.
Copy !req
117. Not silent now.
Copy !req
118. Redvers had some stories.
Copy !req
119. The pygmies from Oluti forest
Copy !req
120. lead him blindfold for three whole
days through uncharted jungle.
Copy !req
121. They took him to a swamp full
of giant lizards like giant dinosaurs.
Copy !req
122. Do you know,
young Conan Doyle just laughed at him.
Copy !req
123. Ha! Well, there's doctors for you.
Copy !req
124. That wouldn't be a Chinese fowling piece,
would it by any chance?
Copy !req
125. We're two weeks out of Zanzibar.
I must find Redvers!
Copy !req
126. - Tell me what else you found.
- Nothing.
Copy !req
127. Describe it. It's all right.
I'm a doctor.
Copy !req
128. Yes, there was light.
Copy !req
129. - A bright light?
- Burning bright in the heart of the interior.
Copy !req
130. It burnt through my eyes into my mind.
Copy !req
131. It had blazing, radiant wings!
Copy !req
132. Doctor!
Copy !req
133. When Redvers was in the Congo,
Copy !req
134. he faced a herd of
stampeding buffalo head on.
Copy !req
135. He raised his gun
and with one single bullet...
Copy !req
136. Ah, there you are, old chap.
Copy !req
137. Redvers, I found you.
Copy !req
138. What have they done to you?
You look like a ghost.
Copy !req
139. Is it really him?
Copy !req
140. His mind's snapped.
Copy !req
141. He's seen something too big to handle.
Or snuff out. A light.
Copy !req
142. I think you'd better go get some help.
Copy !req
143. That'll blow our cover.
Copy !req
144. All right, all right.
Copy !req
145. Mr Fenn-Cooper. Where have you been?
Copy !req
146. How do you do?
I'm the Doctor and this is my friend...
Copy !req
147. We've been worried about you.
Copy !req
148. Poor old Redvers.
Poor old chap.
Copy !req
149. - Come along.
Copy !req
150. We don't want him hurt.
Copy !req
151. Oh, no! Not the Interior! Please!
Copy !req
152. I don't want to go back to the Interior!
Copy !req
153. You don't have to twist his arm like that!
Copy !req
154. A most unfortunate mishap, sir.
Copy !req
155. I trust you and the young lady
are not hurt?
Copy !req
156. The gentleman has
fits of distracting behaviour
Copy !req
157. and must for his own safety be confined.
Copy !req
158. She didn't have to hurt him.
Copy !req
159. Yeah, my friend Ace and I...
Copy !req
160. My master Mr Smith asks if you'd join
our other guest in the drawing room.
Copy !req
161. Professor, is this an asylum
with the patients in charge?
Copy !req
162. Given a chance it could be Bedlam.
Copy !req
163. - Thank you...
- Nimrod, sir.
Copy !req
164. Nimrod. Thank you, Nimrod.
Copy !req
165. We would be delighted.
Copy !req
166. But Uncle Josiah is a good man
and a great naturalist, too.
Copy !req
167. But Uncle Josiah is a good man
and a great naturalist, too.
Copy !req
168. You'll see when you meet him.
Copy !req
169. Ah, so you finally condescend
to meet me, sir.
Copy !req
170. I am grateful for your hospitality.
Copy !req
171. How do you do?
How nice of you to come.
Copy !req
172. - Good grief!
- Oh, this is my friend Ace.
Copy !req
173. I see that
all the stories about you are true.
Copy !req
174. You have no shred of decency,
Copy !req
175. even parading your shameless
wantons in front of your guests.
Copy !req
176. - Does he mean me, Professor?
- I have it.
Copy !req
177. This is some experiment
related to your mumbo-jumbo theories.
Copy !req
178. Perhaps she'll evolve into a young lady.
Copy !req
179. Who are you calling young lady, bog-brain?
Copy !req
180. No such luck. Quiet, Eliza.
Copy !req
181. Be a good girl.
I'm making some small talk.
Copy !req
182. If I might explain, sir...
Copy !req
183. Ah, Nimrod, yes.
Copy !req
184. There's still some tea in the pot
if you'd to go and get a couple of cups.
Copy !req
185. Thank you very much.
Copy !req
186. The fang of a cave bear!
Copy !req
187. A totem of great power.
Copy !req
188. Yes. Thank you, Nimrod.
Copy !req
189. Sir, I think Mr Matthews is confused.
Copy !req
190. Never mind, I'll have him
completely bewildered
Copy !req
191. - by the time I'm finished.
- I'll help.
Copy !req
192. We've had some trouble
with our carriage
Copy !req
193. - and Ace can't go to dinner dressed like this.
- Who says?
Copy !req
194. So, I wondered if you have any
appropriate apparel that she may borrow?
Copy !req
195. Gladly, Professor.
Copy !req
196. Come, Alice,
you can borrow a dress of mine.
Copy !req
197. It's Ace, actually.
Thanks, anyway.
Copy !req
198. - Now, sir...
- Yes, let me guess.
Copy !req
199. My theories appal you,
my heresies outrage you,
Copy !req
200. I never answer letters,
and you don't like my tie.
Copy !req
201. You are a worse scoundrel than Darwin.
Copy !req
202. Light!
Copy !req
203. Ah, Josiah Samuel Smith, I take it.
Copy !req
204. Dust to dust.
I'm the Doctor and this is...
Copy !req
205. Reverend Ernest Matthews,
Dean of Mortarhouse College, Oxford.
Copy !req
206. Your servant, sirs.
Welcome to Gabriel Chase.
Copy !req
207. Josiah Smith.
Copy !req
208. Now perhaps you'll account
for your theories.
Copy !req
209. Fascinating moths.
Copy !req
210. I recently made a study of these moths.
Copy !req
211. Even in a single species,
there can be a wide variation
Copy !req
212. of colouring from countryside to town.
Copy !req
213. I'm certain they're adapting
to survive the smoke
Copy !req
214. with which industry's tainting the land.
Copy !req
215. Darwinian claptrap.
Copy !req
216. Come on, something's happened.
Copy !req
217. - Wait. I can't wear this.
- Of course you can.
Copy !req
218. Mrs Pritchard, what's happening?
Copy !req
219. The door is jammed.
Copy !req
220. - Here, let me have a try.
Copy !req
221. Okay, stand back.
Copy !req
222. That's no way for a Victorian...
gentleman to behave.
Copy !req
223. I'm no gentleman.
Copy !req
224. Well then, this is a metamorphosis.
Copy !req
225. - It was Ace's idea.
Copy !req
226. Nimrod, the door.
Copy !req
227. Stay back.
Copy !req
228. Cover your eyes!
Copy !req
229. I'm sorry, Doctor.
Copy !req
230. - Redvers, what did you see?
- Poor Redvers.
Copy !req
231. He was so frightened
his hair turned completely white.
Copy !req
232. He went quite mad, you know.
Copy !req
233. - You must leave, Doctor!
- But he may need my help!
Copy !req
234. What's happening, Professor?
Copy !req
235. - This way, please!
- Ow!
Copy !req
236. - I wanted to see him.
- Out of the question.
Copy !req
237. - He will be well taken care of.
- I bet.
Copy !req
238. What was that light?
He was so scared of it.
Copy !req
239. Doctor, I can personally assure you.
Copy !req
240. Mr Fenn-Cooper is being made
comfortable and will come to no harm.
Copy !req
241. Only the madman may see the path
clearly through the tangled forest.
Copy !req
242. You have the wisdom of the greatest
elders of my tribe, Doctor.
Copy !req
243. Nimrod, you have duties to perform.
Copy !req
244. Sir.
Copy !req
245. - He's a Neanderthal, isn't he?
- Yes.
Copy !req
246. The finest example
I've seen this side of the Stone Age.
Copy !req
247. Did that hurt? Good.
Copy !req
248. I still haven't worked out
where this place is.
Copy !req
249. And I am still waiting for an
explanation of your blasphemous theories.
Copy !req
250. What theories?
Copy !req
251. Darwin's theories. They turned
19th-century science on its head.
Copy !req
252. Oh, is there a free lecture
thrown in with dinner?
Copy !req
253. Sermons are his specialty.
Copy !req
254. - Do we take notes?
- Mr Smith disputes man's rightful dominion
Copy !req
255. over the forces of nature.
Copy !req
256. I hope you have a taste
for calves' brains, Doctor.
Copy !req
257. Instead, he maintains that
mankind itself should adapt
Copy !req
258. to serve nature or become extinct.
Copy !req
259. - Well, sir...
Copy !req
260. Oh!
Copy !req
261. Pray excuse me, sir.
Copy !req
262. Infernal telephonic machines.
Copy !req
263. Let's ring out for a takeaway.
Copy !req
264. Anyone fancy a curry?
Copy !req
265. I know a nice little restaurant
in the Khyber Pass.
Copy !req
266. Nimrod! What's going on?
I told you not to ring me now!
Copy !req
267. Nimrod?
Are you there?
Copy !req
268. I escaped.
Copy !req
269. It's learned to speak!
Copy !req
270. Having trouble with your connections?
Copy !req
271. - Perhaps I can help.
Doctor!
Copy !req
272. On the other hand,
I have an emergency of my own.
Copy !req
273. Excuse me. Time to emerge.
Copy !req
274. Mrs Pritchard, a problem has arisen.
Copy !req
275. Ask Ernest Matthews to join me in here.
Copy !req
276. Very good, sir.
Copy !req
277. Then no one is to disturb us.
Copy !req
278. Doctor!
Copy !req
279. Doctor, where are you?
I want to talk to you!
Copy !req
280. Ace! What's the matter?
Copy !req
281. Face-ache Matthews in there
says this house is Gabriel Chase.
Copy !req
282. So?
Copy !req
283. It was all falling down
last time I saw it in 1985.
Copy !req
284. You tricked me! This is Perivale!
Copy !req
285. Ace!
Copy !req
286. Ace.
Copy !req
287. It's true, isn't it?
Copy !req
288. This is the house I told you about.
Copy !req
289. When you were 13,
you climbed over the wall for a dare.
Copy !req
290. That's your surprise, isn't it?
Bringing me back here.
Copy !req
291. Remind me what it was that you sensed
Copy !req
292. when you entered this deserted house.
Copy !req
293. An aura of intense evil?
Copy !req
294. Don't you have things you hate?
Copy !req
295. I can't stand burnt toast.
Copy !req
296. I loathe bus stations, terrible places,
Copy !req
297. full of lost luggage and lost souls.
Copy !req
298. I told you I never wanted to
come back here again.
Copy !req
299. Then there's unrequited love,
and tyranny, and cruelty.
Copy !req
300. Too right.
Copy !req
301. We all have our own
universe of terrors to face.
Copy !req
302. I face mine on my own terms.
Copy !req
303. But don't you want to know
what happened here?
Copy !req
304. No!
Copy !req
305. You've learned something
you didn't recognise when you were 13.
Copy !req
306. Like what?
Copy !req
307. The nature of the horror
that you sensed here.
Copy !req
308. It's alien.
Copy !req
309. Ernest, pray sit down.
Copy !req
310. I'm afraid that something unforeseen
awaits my attention.
Copy !req
311. I shall have to ask you
to indulge me a little further.
Copy !req
312. Having come so far, sir,
I have no intention of leaving
Copy !req
313. until I've gained full satisfaction.
Copy !req
314. Then we're in accord.
Copy !req
315. Mrs Pritchard, see to it that the Dean's
time passes as quickly as possible.
Copy !req
316. Very good, sir.
Copy !req
317. Come back to dinner, Ace.
Copy !req
318. When I lived in Perivale, me and my
best mate, we dossed around together.
Copy !req
319. We'd out-dare each other on things,
Copy !req
320. skiving off, stupid things.
Copy !req
321. Then they burnt out Manesha's flat.
Copy !req
322. White kids firebombed it.
Copy !req
323. I didn't care anymore.
Copy !req
324. I think you cared a lot, Ace.
Copy !req
325. That's when I came over
the walls of the house...
Copy !req
326. This house.
Copy !req
327. I was so mad, and I needed to get away.
Copy !req
328. It was empty, all overgrown
and falling down.
Copy !req
329. No one came here.
Copy !req
330. But when I got inside, it was even worse.
Copy !req
331. I didn't know then. It was horrible!
Copy !req
332. - Tell me what you saw.
- Doctor...
Copy !req
333. - Tell me, Ace!
Excuse me!
Copy !req
334. I must speak with you.
Copy !req
335. - I need your help, Doctor.
- Yes.
Copy !req
336. It can't be easy being
so far away from home,
Copy !req
337. struggling to adapt
to an alien environment.
Copy !req
338. My roots are in this house.
I'm as human as you are.
Copy !req
339. Yes.
Copy !req
340. I'm afflicted with an enemy...
Copy !req
341. A vile and base creature
pitted against me.
Copy !req
342. It's waiting for me now.
Copy !req
343. I believe that you can assist me
in defeating it.
Copy !req
344. I'm not interested in money.
Copy !req
345. - How much?
- £5,000 to rid me of the evil brute.
Copy !req
346. Now, that's what
I call Victorian value.
Copy !req
347. But I'm still not interested in money.
Copy !req
348. There's a new scent
in the dark. Listen.
Copy !req
349. Warming, pulsing, racing blood.
Copy !req
350. Ratkin.
Copy !req
351. - Ratkin.
Copy !req
352. Ratkin.
Copy !req
