1. I've brought you your dinner and 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 I understood
you were not arriving until this evening.
Copy !req
5. My patience has already been tried by
the interminable journey from Oxford.
Copy !req
6. (ACE) Professor, 30-second penalty.
Copy !req
7. Get on with it.
All part of the initiative test.
Copy !req
8. You're still a lousy parker.
Copy !req
9. - Hey, playtime.
- Well?
Copy !req
10. It's a laboratory.
Copy !req
11. Oh, no, could be a nursery...
Copy !req
12. but the kids would have to be
pretty advanced... and creepy.
Copy !req
13. Be concise!
Copy !req
14. - It's well safe, Professor.
- Oh, very succinct (!)
Copy !req
15. - It must be Earth.
- You tell me.
Copy !req
16. This equipment's prehistoric.
Copy !req
17. I like the toys, though.
Copy !req
18. Oh, those things are pretty sick!
I can't stand dead things. Must be Victorian.
Copy !req
19. It's a surprise.
Copy !req
20. It's all right, my dears. Don't worry.
Copy !req
21. Our day is done.
Copy !req
22. We shan't stay here a moment longer.
Copy !req
23. And heaven help anyone
who's still here after dark.
Copy !req
24. This isn't a haunted house, is it? I told you
I have a thing about haunted houses.
Copy !req
25. - Did you tell me that?
- Yes!
Copy !req
26. How many have you been in?
Copy !req
27. One was enough.
Copy !req
28. Never again.
Copy !req
29. I think you should go
and greet our guests, my dear.
Copy !req
30. We used to go to museums on school trips.
Copy !req
31. It was always "Don't touch, don't
wander off, don't give the school a bad name".
Copy !req
32. - We still did it, though.
- The front door's this way.
Copy !req
33. Hello. What's your name? You got stuffed,
and it wasn't even Christmas.
Copy !req
34. - Ace.
- See you later.
Copy !req
35. - What do you make of that?
- Don't know. Whose initials are RFC?
Copy !req
36. - It's your initiative test.
- So I'm asking the questions.
Copy !req
37. - When was the Royal Flying Corp invented?
- The name wasn't thought up until... 1912.
Copy !req
38. I can get you a badge.
Ask me another.
Copy !req
39. Then, who's RFC?
Copy !req
40. - I'm only looking.
- Looking's one thing.
Copy !req
41. - (ACE) It's radioactive.
Copy !req
42. - Very slightly.
- Is it safe?
Copy !req
43. - There is no safe level.
- What about RFC?
Copy !req
44. Well, let's hope he abandoned it
before he came to any harm...
Copy !req
45. Zulu assegai. Quite lethal.
Copy !req
46. - Where did you find it?
- Here. Don't touch it.
Copy !req
47. This is Ace, and I'm the Doctor.
Copy !req
48. I'm a fellow of
the Royal Geographical Society.
Copy !req
49. - So am I.
- Is it your snuffbox?
Copy !req
50. - Young lady, you're barely dressed.
- Who's undressed?
Copy !req
51. My friend comes from
a less civilised clime.
Copy !req
52. - You want me to wrap up in a curtain?
- Be quiet, noble savage.
Copy !req
53. I'm sure you've seen
far grislier sights than Ace's ankle.
Copy !req
54. - He can't see my ankle.
- Your boots, then.
Copy !req
55. - You're a big game hunter?
- I am,
Copy !req
56. but I've seen nothing like the atrocities
rumoured about this house.
Copy !req
57. Is this the surprise?
I'm not impressed.
Copy !req
58. - I'm grateful to find an ally.
- You are?
Copy !req
59. - You have given me proof.
- The snuffbox.
Copy !req
60. - (ACE) Don't touch it!
- This is my first substantial evidence.
Copy !req
61. I came to find Redvers Fenn-Cooper,
one of our finest explorers.
Copy !req
62. - RFC.
- I just knew he was in this house.
Copy !req
63. I must find him and save him
Copy !req
64. from the clutches
of that blackguard Josiah Samuel Smith.
Copy !req
65. Are you aware that I've been ringing
for attention since before six o'clock?
Copy !req
66. I demand to see your master immediately.
Copy !req
67. This insolence has gone far enough.
Copy !req
68. If I leave now, madam,
Mr Smith will regret the consequences.
Copy !req
69. The condemnation
of the Royal Society can be ruinous.
Copy !req
70. - So be it.
- Reverend Matthews,
Copy !req
71. forgive us for keeping you waiting.
Copy !req
72. - I am Mr Smith's ward.
- You are Gwendoline, are you not?
Copy !req
73. Yes, sir. My guardian was concerned
that you'd been kept waiting.
Copy !req
74. He'll join us shortly.
Copy !req
75. Josiah Smith invited Redvers here.
Redvers is his sternest opponent and...
Copy !req
76. - One of the finest explorers in the Empire.
- He hasn't been seen since.
Copy !req
77. Perhaps he got lost on the way.
Copy !req
78. Henry Stanley found Dr Livingstone.
I shall find Redvers Fenn-Cooper.
Copy !req
79. - Damn tsetse flies.
Copy !req
80. - How long was he living here?
- Can we go?
Copy !req
81. - It gives me the creeps.
- I thought it might.
Copy !req
82. He's a headcase.
The house is a morgue. Everything dead.
Copy !req
83. Very good, sir, I understand.
I shall be with you shortly.
Copy !req
84. Poor silent brute.
Copy !req
85. Not silent now.
Copy !req
86. Redvers had some stories.
Copy !req
87. Pygmies led him blindfold for three whole days
through uncharted jungle.
Copy !req
88. They took him to a swamp
full of giant lizards like giant dinosaurs.
Copy !req
89. You know, young Conan Doyle just laughed at him.
Copy !req
90. Ha! There's doctors for you.
Copy !req
91. Is that a Chinese fowling piece?
Copy !req
92. - I must find Redvers!
- Tell me what else you found.
Copy !req
93. - Nothing.
- Describe it. It's all right. I'm a doctor.
Copy !req
94. Yes, there was... light.
Copy !req
95. - A bright light?
- Burning in the heart of the interior.
Copy !req
96. It burnt through my eyes into my mind.
It had... blazing, radiant wings!
Copy !req
97. Doctor!
Copy !req
98. When Redvers was in the Congo,
he faced a herd of stampeding buffalo head on.
Copy !req
99. He raised his gun
and with one single bullet...
Copy !req
100. Ah, there you are, old chap. Redvers, I found you.
Copy !req
101. What have they done to you?
You look like a ghost.
Copy !req
102. Is it really him?
Copy !req
103. His mind's snapped. He's seen
something too big to handle, some light.
Copy !req
104. - We'd better get some help.
- It'll blow our cover.
Copy !req
105. All right, all right.
Copy !req
106. - Mr Fenn-Cooper.
- How do you do? I'm the Doctor. This is...
Copy !req
107. - We've been worried about you.
- Poor old Redvers. Poor chap.
Copy !req
108. Come along.
Copy !req
109. - We don't want him hurt.
- No! Not the interior!
Copy !req
110. Not back into the interior!
Copy !req
111. - You don't have to twist his arm!
- A most unfortunate mishap, sir.
Copy !req
112. I trust you are not hurt?
Copy !req
113. The gentleman has fits of distracting
behaviour and must be confined.
Copy !req
114. - She didn't have to hurt him.
- Ace and I...
Copy !req
115. Mr Smith asks if you'd join
our other guest in the drawing room.
Copy !req
116. Is this an asylum with patients in charge?
Copy !req
117. It could be Bedlam. Thank you, er...?
Copy !req
118. - Nimrod, sir.
- Nimrod. Thank you, Nimrod.
Copy !req
119. We would be... delighted.
Copy !req
120. Uncle Josiah is a good man and
a great naturalist, too. You'll see.
Copy !req
121. Ah, so you finally condescend to meet me.
I am grateful for your hospitality.
Copy !req
122. How do you do? Nice of you to come.
Copy !req
123. - Good grief!
- Oh, this is my friend Ace.
Copy !req
124. I see that the stories about you are true.
You have no shred of decency,
Copy !req
125. even parading your shameless wantons
in front of your guests.
Copy !req
126. - Does he mean me?
- I have it.
Copy !req
127. This is some experiment
related to your mumbo-jumbo theories.
Copy !req
128. Perhaps she'll evolve into a young lady.
Copy !req
129. - Who are you calling young lady, bog-brain?
- Quiet, Eliza.
Copy !req
130. - Be a good girl. I'm making small talk.
- If I might explain...
Copy !req
131. Nimrod, yes. There's tea in the pot
if you'd get a couple of cups. Thank you.
Copy !req
132. The fang of a cave bear! A totem of great power.
Copy !req
133. Yes. Thank you, Nimrod.
Copy !req
134. Sir, I think Mr Matthews is confused.
Copy !req
135. He'll be completely bewildered when I'm finished.
Copy !req
136. - I'll help.
- Ace can't go to dinner dressed like this.
Copy !req
137. - Who says?
- Do you have any apparel she may borrow?
Copy !req
138. Gladly, Professor. Come, Alice,
you can borrow a dress of mine.
Copy !req
139. It's Ace, actually. Thanks, anyway.
Copy !req
140. - Now, sir...
- Yes, let me guess.
Copy !req
141. My theories and heresies outrage you,
I ignore letters, and you don't like my tie.
Copy !req
142. You are a worse scoundrel than Darwin.
Copy !req
143. Light!
Copy !req
144. Ah, Josiah Samuel Smith, I take it. Dust to dust.
Copy !req
145. - I'm the Doctor and this is...
- Reverend Ernest Matthews,
Copy !req
146. dean of Mortarhouse College, Oxford.
Copy !req
147. Your servant, sirs.
Welcome to Gabriel Chase.
Copy !req
148. Josiah Smith.
Now perhaps you'll account for your theories.
Copy !req
149. - Fascinating moths.
- I recently made a study of these moths.
Copy !req
150. Even in a single species, there can be
a wide variation from countryside to town.
Copy !req
151. I'm certain they're adapting to survive the smoke
Copy !req
152. with which industry's tainting the land.
Copy !req
153. Darwinian claptrap.
Copy !req
154. Come on! Something's happened.
Copy !req
155. - Wait. I can't wear this.
- Of course you can.
Copy !req
156. - Mrs Pritchard, what's happening?
- The door is jammed.
Copy !req
157. - Here, let me try.
Copy !req
158. - OK, stand back.
- That's no way for a... gentleman to behave.
Copy !req
159. - I'm no gentleman.
- Well! This is a metamorphosis.
Copy !req
160. - It was Ace's idea.
Copy !req
161. Nimrod, the door.
Copy !req
162. Stay back.
Copy !req
163. - Cover your eyes!
Copy !req
164. I'm sorry, Doctor.
Copy !req
165. - Redvers, what did you see?
- Poor Redvers.
Copy !req
166. He was so frightened,
his hair went completely white.
Copy !req
167. - He went quite mad.
- We must leave, Doctor!
Copy !req
168. - He may need help!
- What's happening?
Copy !req
169. - This way, please!
- Ow!
Copy !req
170. - I want to see him.
- Out of the question.
Copy !req
171. - He will be taken care of.
- I bet. What was that light?
Copy !req
172. - He was so scared of it.
- Doctor, I can assure you
Copy !req
173. Mr Fenn-Cooper will come to no harm.
Copy !req
174. Only the madman may see the path clearly
through the tangled forest.
Copy !req
175. You have the wisdom
of the greatest elders of my tribe.
Copy !req
176. Nimrod, you have duties to perform.
Copy !req
177. Sir.
Copy !req
178. - He's a Neanderthal, isn't he?
- Yes.
Copy !req
179. Finest example I've seen since the Stone Age.
Copy !req
180. Did that hurt? Good.
Copy !req
181. I still don't know where this place is.
Copy !req
182. I am still waiting for an explanation
of your blasphemous theories.
Copy !req
183. What theories?
Copy !req
184. Darwin's theories.
They turned 19th-century science on its head.
Copy !req
185. Is there a lecture?
Copy !req
186. - Sermon.
- Do we take notes?
Copy !req
187. Mr Smith disputes man's rightful dominion
over the forces of nature.
Copy !req
188. I hope you like calves' brains, Doctor.
Copy !req
189. Instead, he maintains that mankind should adapt
to serve nature or become extinct.
Copy !req
190. - Well, sir...
Copy !req
191. Oh! Pray excuse me, sir.
Copy !req
192. Infernal telephonic machines.
Copy !req
193. Let's order a takeaway. Anyone fancy a curry?
Copy !req
194. I know a restaurant in the Khyber Pass.
Copy !req
195. Nimrod! What's going on?
I told you not to ring me now!
Copy !req
196. Nimrod? Are you there?
Copy !req
197. I escaped.
Copy !req
198. - It's learned to speak!
- Having trouble with your connections?
Copy !req
199. - Perhaps I can help.
- (ACE) Doctor!
Copy !req
200. On the other hand, I have an emergency
of my own. Excuse me. Time to emerge.
Copy !req
201. Mrs Pritchard, a problem has arisen.
Ask Ernest Matthews to join me in here.
Copy !req
202. Very good, sir.
Copy !req
203. Then no one is to disturb us.
Copy !req
204. (ACE) Doctor!
Copy !req
205. Doctor, I want to talk to you!
Copy !req
206. Ace! What's the matter?
Copy !req
207. Face-Ache Matthews in there
says this house is Gabriel Chase.
Copy !req
208. - So?
- It was derelict last time I saw it in 1983.
Copy !req
209. You tricked me! This is Perivale!
Copy !req
210. Ace!
Copy !req
211. Ace.
Copy !req
212. It's true, isn't it?
This is the house I told you about.
Copy !req
213. You were 13,
you climbed over the wall for a dare.
Copy !req
214. - That's your surprise, isn't it?
- Remind me what it was that you sensed
Copy !req
215. when you entered this deserted house.
Copy !req
216. - An aura of intense evil?
- Don't you have things you hate?
Copy !req
217. I can't stand burnt toast. I loathe bus stations -
Copy !req
218. terrible places, full of lost luggage and lost souls.
Copy !req
219. I said I never wanted to come back here.
Copy !req
220. Then there's unrequited love,
and tyranny, and cruelty.
Copy !req
221. Too right.
Copy !req
222. - We all have our own terrors to face.
- I face mine on my own terms.
Copy !req
223. - Don't you want to know what happened?
- No!
Copy !req
224. You've learned something
you didn't recognise when you were 13.
Copy !req
225. - Like what?
- The nature of the horror that you sensed.
Copy !req
226. It's alien.
Copy !req
227. Ernest, pray sit down.
Copy !req
228. I'm afraid that something unforeseen
awaits my attention.
Copy !req
229. I have to ask you to indulge me further.
Copy !req
230. Having come so far, I have no intention
of leaving until I've gained full satisfaction.
Copy !req
231. Then we're in accord. Mrs Pritchard, see to it
that the dean's time passes as quickly as possible.
Copy !req
232. Very good, sir.
Copy !req
233. That's the way to the zoo
Copy !req
234. That's the way to the zoo
Copy !req
235. The monkey house is nearly full,
but there's room enough for you
Copy !req
236. Take a bus to Regent's Park
Copy !req
237. Make haste before it shuts
Copy !req
238. Next Monday, I will come
and bring you such a lot of nuts
Copy !req
239. Come back to dinner, Ace.
Copy !req
240. When I lived in Perivale, me and my best mate,
we dossed around together.
Copy !req
241. We'd out-dare each other on things -
Copy !req
242. skiving off, stupid things.
Copy !req
243. Then they burnt out Manesha's flat.
Copy !req
244. White kids firebombed it.
Copy !req
245. I didn't care any more.
Copy !req
246. I think you cared a lot, Ace.
Copy !req
247. That's when I came over the walls
of the house... this house.
Copy !req
248. I was so mad, and I needed to get away.
Copy !req
249. It was empty, all overgrown and falling down.
Copy !req
250. No one came here.
Copy !req
251. But when I got inside, it was even worse.
Copy !req
252. I didn't know then. It was horrible!
Copy !req
253. - Tell me what you saw.
- Doctor.
Copy !req
254. - Tell me, Ace!
- Excuse me!
Copy !req
255. I must speak with you.
Copy !req
256. - I need your help, Doctor.
- Yes.
Copy !req
257. It can't be easy being so far away from home,
struggling to adapt to an alien environment.
Copy !req
258. - I'm as human as you are.
- Yes.
Copy !req
259. I'm afflicted with an enemy...
Copy !req
260. a vile and base creature pitted against me.
Copy !req
261. It's waiting for me now.
Copy !req
262. I believe that you can assist me in defeating it.
Copy !req
263. I'm not interested in money.
Copy !req
264. - How much?
- £5,000 to rid me of the evil brute.
Copy !req
265. That's what I call Victorian value.
But I'm still not interested in money.
Copy !req
266. There's a new scent in the dark.
There's... warm and pulsing, racing bloodl
Copy !req
267. Ratkinl
Copy !req
268. - Ratkinl
Copy !req
269. Ratkinl
Copy !req
