1. (GRAVELLY VOICE): There's a new scent
in the dark. Listen.
Copy !req
2. Warming, pulsing, racing blood.
Copy !req
3. Ratkin.
Copy !req
4. Ratkin!
Copy !req
5. Ratkin!
Copy !req
6. Beetles and bluebottles.
Copy !req
7. It's one of
my favourites in the whole collection.
Copy !req
8. It's from Java.
Copy !req
9. Java?
Copy !req
10. The Reverend Ernest Matthews
will be leaving for Java soon.
Copy !req
11. Perhaps he'll see my father.
Copy !req
12. Your father, is he there?
Copy !req
13. Uncle Josiah sent him there
after he saw what was in the cellar.
Copy !req
14. (GRAVELLY VOICE): Fetch Ratkin nearer.
Copy !req
15. Fetch... Ratkin... Nearer...
Copy !req
16. Get back! Back!
Copy !req
17. - Are you hurt, Ace?
- They don't like the flame, do they?
Copy !req
18. (GRAVELLY VOICE): Door must open!
Copy !req
19. We must leave the chamber now.
Copy !req
20. (GRAVELLY VOICE): Open door!
Quickly! Quickly!
Copy !req
21. It's getting out! Oh, give me that!
Copy !req
22. Just stay calm!
Follow me into the tunnel!
Copy !req
23. While we have the lamp, we're safe.
Copy !req
24. (GRAVELLY VOICE): No more lamp.
Copy !req
25. - Stop Ratkin!
I'll sort you lot out!
Copy !req
26. - Josiah! Where's Ace?
- How should I know?
Copy !req
27. Have you considered my offer, Doctor?
Copy !req
28. What, to murder your enemy? I'm not
your pet executioner. Ace is in trouble.
Copy !req
29. Be careful, Doctor.
To cross me could be a serious error.
Copy !req
30. Miss Ace has already retired to bed, sir.
Copy !req
31. - Come, I will show you.
- Here, Doctor, to light you to bed.
Copy !req
32. - Sleep well. Goodnight.
- Goodnight, sleep tight.
Copy !req
33. Up the wooden hill
to Bedfordshire, otherwise known as Java.
Copy !req
34. Well, not tonight, Josiah-phine!
Copy !req
35. Your puppet show doesn't fool me.
Copy !req
36. Sorry to spoil your big game hunt.
But Ace needs my
Copy !req
37. help.
Copy !req
38. - Let us go or I'll smash it!
- Give it to me!
Copy !req
39. - You are profaning the Temple of Light!
- (WAILING)
Copy !req
40. I'll profane you in a minute.
Copy !req
41. And shut that thing up!
Copy !req
42. - You are afraid and do not understand.
- (GRUNTS)
Copy !req
43. The sleeping one must not be woken!
Copy !req
44. The fool! What's it done?
Copy !req
45. Right, Josiah. Let's go down
the rabbit hole. Get that Lift!
Copy !req
46. Open those doors! Quickly!
Copy !req
47. Steam power!
Copy !req
48. Oi, Tarzan!
Copy !req
49. Nimrod! What's happened?
Copy !req
50. Nimrod!
Copy !req
51. - Light.
- At the end of tunnel. Get a move on!
Copy !req
52. Ace?
Copy !req
53. Doctor, where have you been?
Copy !req
54. Where haven't I been! Ha!
I came as quick as I could.
Copy !req
55. What have you done to my observatory?
Copy !req
56. Get off! It's what it nearly did to me.
Copy !req
57. - Ace, you haven't been tampering?
- It was an accident.
Copy !req
58. - All my work could be ruined!
- That's my girl.
Copy !req
59. Oh, come on, Professor,
let's get out of this madhouse.
Copy !req
60. No, keep him covered.
Copy !req
61. - But this is a...
- Shh!
Copy !req
62. Move it, you.
Copy !req
63. Why did Father go to Java
and leave me?
Copy !req
64. And where is Mama?
Copy !req
65. I try and try, but I can't understand.
Copy !req
66. That is a wicked thing to say. Wicked.
Copy !req
67. Your mother would be ashamed
if she could hear you.
Copy !req
68. Sitting there dressed
like a music hall trollop!
Copy !req
69. It's this Doctor,
filling your head with his ideas.
Copy !req
70. Don't try anything.
Copy !req
71. Ah! Not a patch on the Flying Scotsman.
Copy !req
72. Nimrod, get up, you fool!
It's got to be stopped!
Copy !req
73. - Better not to move him.
- He fell against that thing.
Copy !req
74. And disturbed whatever's
hibernating inside.
Copy !req
75. Don't touch it!
Copy !req
76. You're scared of it, too,
just like the others.
Copy !req
77. Because you know what's
in there, don't you, Josiah?
Copy !req
78. There's an energy escape. I must stop it.
Copy !req
79. Oh, don't worry, I always leave things
till the last moment.
Copy !req
80. These husks, old cast-offs of yours,
I take it?
Copy !req
81. - They attacked Nimrod and me.
- You're insane! If the membrane is broken...
Copy !req
82. Yes?
Copy !req
83. What?
Copy !req
84. Genetic codes.
DNA?
Copy !req
85. You've done a lot of exploring
in here, haven't you, Josiah?
Copy !req
86. This is a stone spaceship.
Copy !req
87. Yes. And the real owner
won't be pleased when it wakes up.
Copy !req
88. I am the real owner.
Copy !req
89. (SCOFFS) Oh, no, you're not.
You're just part of the cargo.
Copy !req
90. You're so smug and self-satisfied, Doctor.
Copy !req
91. - I try.
- Drop it.
Copy !req
92. I'm not a simpleton. That device is
a radiation detector, not a gun.
Copy !req
93. You're going to
help me stabilise the energy loss
Copy !req
94. or most of southern England
goes up in a firestorm.
Copy !req
95. (GRAVELLY VOICE): Make me free.
Copy !req
96. Drive in the crystal rods
when I instruct you.
Copy !req
97. After this, I'll get a job at Sellafield.
It'll be safer. (CHUCKLES)
Copy !req
98. - Just do what I do when I do it.
- Hmm, very helpful.
Copy !req
99. Lower the first rod.
Copy !req
100. Oh, dear. Oh, dear.
Copy !req
101. Skeletons in cupboard.
Husks in the cellar.
Copy !req
102. - Bats in the belfry.
- Do it!
Copy !req
103. Now, now, don't shout.
Copy !req
104. You'll never evolve into
a nice Victorian gentleman if you shout.
Copy !req
105. - Did those husks really used to be him?
- Yes.
Copy !req
106. - Not much improvement on the reptile, is he?
- (BOTH LAUGH)
Copy !req
107. - Do it now!
- Now!
Copy !req
108. Well, I think congratulations are in order.
Copy !req
109. Congratulations? Maybe not.
Copy !req
110. - Professor, the husks!
- (GRAVELLY VOICE): Give me freeness.
Copy !req
111. - (GASPS)
- (SHOUTING)
Copy !req
112. - (GRAVELLY VOICE): I want freeness.
- Quick, get up.
Copy !req
113. - Move! Move!
- (JOSIAH WHIMPERING)
Copy !req
114. (GRAVELLY VOICE):
Control needs freeness now.
Copy !req
115. Wait, Doctor!
Help me be like you.
Copy !req
116. - Look out!
- Give me my freeness!
Copy !req
117. Ah! How do you do?
I'm the Doctor. This is my friend, Ace.
Copy !req
118. Just call me Ratkin.
Copy !req
119. Agh, poor Control!
No way out! No escaping!
Copy !req
120. - No hoping.
- Don't listen to it.
Copy !req
121. - It's a depraved monstrosity!
- (CONTROL WAILING)
Copy !req
122. Depraved or deprived?
Copy !req
123. There, there, Control. There, there.
Copy !req
124. Now, which of you
is the Jekyll and which is the Hyde?
Copy !req
125. Spare a farthing, guvnor.
Pity poor Control.
Copy !req
126. Locked away. All on lone.
Copy !req
127. Fiend!
Copy !req
128. They're coming.
Copy !req
129. (WHISPERING) It's almost first light.
Copy !req
130. He's getting weaker.
It's been a hard day's night.
Copy !req
131. He's evolving again into his next stage.
Copy !req
132. I've sealed the lower observatory.
Let Control rot down there!
Copy !req
133. You are ill, sir.
Copy !req
134. It's getting light.
Secure the house.
Copy !req
135. I must change.
Copy !req
136. Take him to the upper observatory.
Copy !req
137. Uncle!
Copy !req
138. We won't see them till nightfall.
Copy !req
139. Shouldn't we follow them?
What about Josiah?
Copy !req
140. He sounded a little husky.
Copy !req
141. Ha, ha, you mean
he's changing into one of those things.
Copy !req
142. (DOCTOR CHUCKLES) Yes.
Copy !req
143. So, here you are at last.
Copy !req
144. Haven't I been kept waiting long enough?
Copy !req
145. Reverend Matthews... (COUGHS)
Copy !req
146. I perceive you are a sick man, sir.
Copy !req
147. Divine retribution
for your blasphemy, perhaps.
Copy !req
148. It will pass.
Copy !req
149. And so will your unholy
theories of evolution.
Copy !req
150. (LAUGHS) It's a complete absurdity
that the line of my ancestors
Copy !req
151. could be traced back
to a protoplasmic globule.
Copy !req
152. Please, go on.
Copy !req
153. Ah.
Copy !req
154. Man has been the same, sir,
since he stood in the Garden of Eden,
Copy !req
155. and he was never, ever
a chattering, gibbering ape.
Copy !req
156. What are you laughing at?
Devil take you, why are you laughing?
Copy !req
157. Can Nimrod be woken now?
Copy !req
158. Oh, don't rush me, Gwendoline.
Copy !req
159. The sun has got its hat on.
Copy !req
160. And we've got all day
before Uncle Josiah dare show his face.
Copy !req
161. Professor, Josiah's lucifugous.
Copy !req
162. - Yes, and he doesn't like light either.
- (BOTH CHUCKLE)
Copy !req
163. What about the spaceship in the cellar?
It's knackered, isn't it?
Copy !req
164. Yes. I fixed it.
Copy !req
165. Uncle Josiah knows as much
about its secrets
Copy !req
166. as a hamburger knows
about the Amazon desert.
Copy !req
167. Sounds a bit like you and the TARDIS.
Copy !req
168. Light!
Copy !req
169. - (DOOR SLAMS SHUT)
- Let her go.
Copy !req
170. - Come on, Ace. We've only just started.
- Oh.
Copy !req
171. Now, there's one thing
you haven't told me.
Copy !req
172. What was it that frightened you so much
Copy !req
173. when you entered this house
in 100 years' time?
Copy !req
174. Gwendoline...
Copy !req
175. Come here, dear child.
Copy !req
176. Are you unwell, Uncle?
Copy !req
177. Only sick at heart, my dear.
Copy !req
178. Soon I shall restore the blighted British
Empire to its full power and vigour.
Copy !req
179. You're no better than animals. (GIBBERING)
Copy !req
180. The Reverend makes
such a tedious toy, don't you think?
Copy !req
181. - Dear Uncle.
- (JOSIAH CHUCKLES)
Copy !req
182. - We're so glad he has to go.
- And where is he going?
Copy !req
183. To Java!
Copy !req
184. Time to call out the constabulary.
Copy !req
185. Now, Inspector, perhaps you can assist us
with our enquiries.
Copy !req
186. - Hello?
- The Doctor said you'd be fair famished
Copy !req
187. when you woke up.
Copy !req
188. So, here's scrambled egg, hot buttered
toast, kedgeree, kidney, sausage and bacon.
Copy !req
189. Cholesterol city!
Copy !req
190. Oh, no, dear. Perivale village.
Copy !req
191. (CLICKS TONGUE) Properly exhausted
you were when I put you to bed.
Copy !req
192. Oh, yes, and there's a message.
Copy !req
193. "Would you join the Doctor and the
police gentleman in the drawing room?"
Copy !req
194. - Police?
- It's high time they were called.
Copy !req
195. I've said as much to my husband, Mr Grose.
Copy !req
196. No, I think I'll give
that a miss, actually.
Copy !req
197. I wanna have a walk
around Perivale village before lunch.
Copy !req
198. - Is there a blacksmith on the village green?
- Mercy me, no, dearie.
Copy !req
199. There's only seven houses.
Copy !req
200. Besides, you've missed lunch.
Why, it must be all of 5:00 by now.
Copy !req
201. - What!
- Yes.
Copy !req
202. Almost evening. Now we must hurry.
Copy !req
203. No one in their right mind
stays in this house after dark.
Copy !req
204. Snap out of it, Nimrod. If I didn't know
better, I'd say this was deliberate.
Copy !req
205. Ten minutes was all it took
Copy !req
206. to wake up the most
sophisticated, civilised police inspector.
Copy !req
207. Ah!
Copy !req
208. (CHEWING) You say this house
is owned by Josiah Samuel Smith.
Copy !req
209. I didn't say "owned”, I said "inhabited".
Copy !req
210. Oh, and where is he?
This whole house is deserted.
Copy !req
211. He will appear.
Copy !req
212. I suppose this must be the manservant.
Copy !req
213. Nasty-looking customer.
Must be a foreigner.
Copy !req
214. Neanderthal.
- Ah, gypsy blood. I can see it in him.
Copy !req
215. Lazy workers.
What's this one playing up over?
Copy !req
216. - Oh. Beg your pardon.
- He's mesmerised.
Copy !req
217. Aye, no self-control,
these Mediterraneans. Too excitable.
Copy !req
218. Nasty tempers, too.
Copy !req
219. Yes, especially when roused.
Copy !req
220. Control... Be free to change.
Copy !req
221. Since I awoke you, you have consumed
three English breakfasts,
Copy !req
222. two elevenses
and one four-course meal.
Copy !req
223. Why don't you go get
Mrs Grose to make you some afternoon tea?
Copy !req
224. She's hiding facts from me.
And so are you.
Copy !req
225. And if you don't tell me
where the rest of the household is,
Copy !req
226. I shall arrest you
for obstructing my enquiries.
Copy !req
227. Professor, you could have
woken me sooner.
Copy !req
228. This is Inspector Mackenzie
from Scotland Yard.
Copy !req
229. He was sent here in 1881
Copy !req
230. to investigate the disappearance of
the owner, Sir George Pritchard.
Copy !req
231. But that was two years ago.
Copy !req
232. Yes, he's been in Josiah's cupboard
ever since.
Copy !req
233. Preserved. Hypnotised.
(WHISPERS) Humour him.
Copy !req
234. - Preserved?
- Inspector, this is my friend, Ace.
Copy !req
235. - Hello. All right?
- I like the dress.
Copy !req
236. Perhaps you can tell me
where Lady Pritchard is, Miss?
Copy !req
237. Oh, you mean the old bag,
the housekeeper?
Copy !req
238. I gather you live in Perivale village?
Copy !req
239. I'll be moving to the area sometime.
Copy !req
240. - How's Tarzan?
- Still no change.
Copy !req
241. Still out like a light.
Copy !req
242. Light!
Copy !req
243. The fang of the cave bear
calls you, Nimrod. Tell me your tale.
Copy !req
244. At the season when
the ice flood swamped the pasture lands,
Copy !req
245. we herded the mammoth sunwards
to find new grazing.
Copy !req
246. Tricky things, mammoths.
Copy !req
247. The wise men cast bones
to make hunting magic
Copy !req
248. and spoke with the voice
of the Burning One.
Copy !req
249. - Is this a race memory?
- No, these are his own experiences.
Copy !req
250. Now the wild world is lost
in a desert of smoke and straight lines.
Copy !req
251. - There is smoke thickening.
- (CONTROL GASPS)
Copy !req
252. But light will return.
Copy !req
253. Light will return.
Copy !req
254. This madhouse needs
one more good going over.
Copy !req
255. Good idea. But try and be back by six.
Copy !req
256. - Professor, look.
- Yes.
Copy !req
257. - Why?
- Around here,
Copy !req
258. the forces of darkness
don't wait until midnight to appear.
Copy !req
259. - (WHISPERING) Professor.
- I know.
Copy !req
260. - I thought the lift was broken.
- I mended it.
Copy !req
261. (LOUDLY) It's very clever,
climbing up the lift shaft,
Copy !req
262. but I had hoped the Control creature
might bring something with it,
Copy !req
263. and for that it will need the lift.
Copy !req
264. Professor! What's going on?
Copy !req
265. - Professor?
- Quiet.
Copy !req
266. Josiah Samuel Smith
and Control are frightened of it.
Copy !req
267. Redvers Fenn-Cooper saw it
and lost his mind.
Copy !req
268. - Nimrod, he worships it.
- Let there be light?
Copy !req
269. It's asleep down there in its spaceship,
Copy !req
270. and Josiah doesn't want it awoken.
Copy !req
271. Well, maybe that's a good idea.
Copy !req
272. Maybe it should be left alone.
Professor, just this once.
Copy !req
273. It's very, very old, perhaps even older.
Copy !req
274. - Just one chat.
- Professor.
Copy !req
275. - Where's Nimrod?
- Gone to see a man about a god.
Copy !req
276. - Ugh! They're alive!
- Yes.
Copy !req
277. Things are hotting up
quicker than I anticipated.
Copy !req
278. Quick! Run and get Inspector Mackenzie.
Copy !req
279. Redvers knew the relief column
would arrive.
Copy !req
280. Excuse me, sir, but you speak with
the wildness of the old world.
Copy !req
281. Is it appropriate to seek your wisdom?
Copy !req
282. You won't get far without good supplies.
Baggage animals, porters.
Copy !req
283. The one I serve, sir,
the Burning One, is waking.
Copy !req
284. What should I do?
Copy !req
285. You must hunt the dark continent,
seek out what you desire.
Copy !req
286. But be warned, you may find it.
Copy !req
287. I must free you from your bond, sir.
Copy !req
288. The Doctor did that hours ago.
Copy !req
289. Light angry, burning angry.
But not at poor Control.
Copy !req
290. Control going showing Light way up.
Copy !req
291. Then Control on way up, too!
Copy !req
292. Ahhh!
Copy !req
293. - Inspector?
- Oh!
Copy !req
294. Found anything?
Copy !req
295. Nothing. This place has
more locked doors than Reading Gaol.
Copy !req
296. All civilisation starts
with hunting and foraging.
Copy !req
297. Oh, don't worry.
You'll soon work your way up.
Copy !req
298. You must excuse me.
Things are getting out of control.
Copy !req
299. No one up here either.
Copy !req
300. Josiah.
Copy !req
301. Disgusting object. What is it?
Copy !req
302. It's what's left of Josiah Smith.
It's just a husk!
Copy !req
303. - I think we should get out of here.
- Nonsense, young lady.
Copy !req
304. That thing isn't dangerous.
Copy !req
305. - Lady Pritchard.
- Lady?
Copy !req
306. Sir George's wife.
Copy !req
307. Gwendoline.
Copy !req
308. She's their daughter, isn't she?
Copy !req
309. What's happening in this house?
Copy !req
310. They're just toys.
Copy !req
311. They're just Josiah's toys.
Copy !req
312. "Homo Victorianus Ineptus."
Copy !req
313. Oh, no. I don't want to see.
Copy !req
314. Reverend Matthews.
Copy !req
315. I think I'm going to throw up.
Copy !req
316. Nimrod, where's Ace?
Copy !req
317. I have not seen her, Doctor.
Copy !req
318. I must seek the truth
from the Burning One.
Copy !req
319. Stick around, I'll save you a trip.
Copy !req
320. Can you summon it, then?
Copy !req
321. Let's just say I've made
a deal with its agent.
Copy !req
322. That'll be them now.
Copy !req
323. Where's Ace got to?
Copy !req
324. It's not dark yet,
but I don't want Josiah to miss the show.
Copy !req
325. Let's get out of here. Quickly!
Copy !req
326. Let go of her!
Copy !req
327. - (ACE SCREAMS)
- I am a police officer.
Copy !req
328. You will do as I tell you!
Copy !req
329. Let go!
- Let go of me.
Copy !req
330. Josiah!
Copy !req
331. - (CHUCKLING)
- Stitch this, Dracula.
Copy !req
332. I no longer need
to crouch in shadows, young lady.
Copy !req
333. You're no gentleman.
Copy !req
334. Scratch the Victorian veneer,
Copy !req
335. and something nasty
will come crawling out.
Copy !req
336. Your beloved Doctor thought
to get the better of me,
Copy !req
337. but I'll see him squirming yet.
Copy !req
338. Bring her!
Copy !req
339. Let go of me! I am a police officer.
You will do as I say!
Copy !req
340. - (CHIMING CONTINUES)
- That's quite enough of that.
Copy !req
341. Doctor, you are as powerful
as you are wise.
Copy !req
342. Cut the homespun twaddle, Nimrod.
Copy !req
343. It's not wise.
Copy !req
344. I've lit a blue touch paper
and found there's nowhere to retire to.
Copy !req
345. Ladies, I do hope you enjoy
indoor fireworks.
Copy !req
346. - The Burning One is coming.
- Mmm.
Copy !req
347. I'd stand back from that Lift,
Nimrod, if I were you.
Copy !req
348. To catch a wolf,
I may have unleashed a tiger.
Copy !req
349. Doctor, what are you doing? Stop the lift!
Copy !req
350. Ah, Josiah. (CHUCKLES)
Copy !req
351. So you finally evolved
