Jamie!
The doors! We've got to close the doors!
Can you do it?
I'll try, but I'll have to get into a better position.
That's it, Victoria. Hold on!
- Hold on! - I'm slipping!
No, you're not. I've got hold of you.
Don't look out there. Concentrate on holding on.
- I can't! - Yes, you can.
Right, Doctor. I'm going to try and fall to the control panel.
Watch the Tardis doesn't lurch again!
Made it! So far so good.
- You know the switch? - Aye. Found it.
I'm nearly... there.
Jamie!
Hold on!
It's all right. They're closing!
Well done, Jamie. You did it!
That was a near thing, wasn't it?
- Are you all right, Victoria? - What happened? Are we safe now?
Yes, I think so. Salamander started the Tardis without closing the door. He was sucked out.
And I nearly joined him!
I'm very glad you didn't. He's not in a very enviable position, floating in time and space.
Now, then, where shall we go?
Let's get our breath back before you start tearing off anywhere!
Anyway, the Tardis has a mind of its own. You can't control it.
Can't control it?
We'll see about that.
We'll see about that!
- Here we go again! - I wonder where it will be this time.
Yes, I wonder...
Mr Silverstein? Yes. Who are you?
Anne Travers. Is my father here?
Yes, he's here. Come and see him and take him away.
He's a fool. An old fool!
Father?
Father...
Anne...
- What are you doing here? - Looking for you.
You were supposed to be meeting me.
- Was I? - At the airport.
What's wrong? You send me a cable saying you're in grave trouble.
- I fly half the way round the world... - Trouble? Yes.
A great deal of trouble. It's that thing.
The Yeti? Mm.
You're a stupid old fool, Julius Silverstein!
ME the fool? You would like me to be the fool and give you back my Yeti, huh?
You must, man. Don't you understand? It's dangerous.
For 30 years this stands here in my museum, and now he tells me it is dangerous!
- I wish I'd never brought it back from Tibet. - Father, what has happened?
The silly old goat won't listen to me. I've told him, warned him.
- Damn it, he knows it's a robot! - But, Father, the Yeti isn't dangerous.
It can't work unless it has a control unit.
But I've done it, Anne!
I HAVE reactivated the control unit.
But, Father, this is wonderful news.
Is it? Yes, I suppose it would be, except for one thing.
What?
The sphere - it's gone!
It's disappeared! You must let me have the Yeti back, Julius.
Make him understand, Anne!
I understand.
I buy the Yeti off you 30 years ago.
Now, it is valuable.
You try to scare me, take your Yeti back.
Why? Money!
- You want to rob me! - I'll buy the thing back if that's what you want!
No, no. It's priceless.
The only one in the world, and it is mine.
- You fool! - Thief!
- I'm not a thief. - Swindler!
Stubborn old goat!
- Father! - Take him away - out of my house!
Perhaps you've made a mistake.
You've put the sphere away somewhere in your laboratory and forgotten it.
- You've done it before. - No. I've looked everywhere.
Let's go home and look again, shall we? You know what you're like.
Yes, but suppose...
Let's go and have a quiet dinner, and you can tell me all about it.
Then we'll go home and look for the sphere.
Well, all right... But I warned you, Julius! I warned you!
Get out! Take him away!
Nobody destroys Julius Silverstein's collection! Nobody!
- Come on, Father. - The Yeti's mine!
You can't scare me with your mad stories.
Out! Out!
Travers...
It is you? I am not frightened by your stupid tricks!
Travers! I know it's you.
I'm not a fool!
Agh!
- I tell you it did. It was flashing. - If that light had come on, we'd have landed.
- I'm not arguing about that. - But we're still travelling, aren't we?
All I know is, that thing came on. I don't think I've taken to seeing things.
- Hey! Do you like it? - What?
I found it in the chest. I think it looks very sophisticated, don't you?
Yes. Very sophisticated, Victoria.
- Jamie, don't you? - Aye.
I'm not daft, you know.
- Doctor... - What?
- Why is that light flashing? - Aha! I see...
Are you two playing some sort of game?
- There you are. Told you so! - We ARE landing, aren't we?
- Let's hope it's somewhere pleasant. - It might be Scotland.
The scanner. That will tell us.
- Where are we? - Nothing but stars. What does it mean?
I don't know.
Something strange has happened.
We're suspended in space.
- Gravity. - On.
- Power. - On.
- Control. - On.
- Flight. - That's on, too.
- I was right. It is all working. - We've landed, and yet we haven't landed?
- Doctor... - Just a minute, Victoria.
- If the time lock HAS slipped... - Doctor, look at the scanner!
What is that stuff, Doctor?
I don't know.
But something or someone is holding us here!
Hello? Hello?
Hello?
- Where's the captain? - He's upstairs being chatted up by that TV man.
Captain Knight, could you tell us your own feelings about Colonel Pemberton?
Well, he was certainly a brave soldier. There's no doubt about that.
He gave his life for his country, and I was proud to serve under him.
- Is that all right? - Super. Sterling stuff.
- You talk in pure quotes, old boy. - Not just quotes, Mr Chorley.
I meant what I said.
- Professor Travers is here, sir. - Why have I been brought here? Who are you?
- Knight. - Never heard of you.
Captain Knight. OK, Corporal.
It's no good shouting at me.
- I didn't ask for you. - Who did, then?
- Your daughter. - Anne? Just like her mother.
Always interfering in things!
I understood that you'd sent for her to help you.
What do you want me for?
- I don't. I think this is a military matter. - Well, you haven't had much success so far!
Army What the devil do they know about it?
Who are you?
- Harold Chorley. London Television. - What? Television?
- Never watch it. Are you an actor? - Journalist, actually.
The government decided to only allow one correspondent down here. The press chose me.
Oh, yeah?
Will you be in charge of the scientific section, or will your daughter?
Mind your own business!
How long do you think it will take you to come up with the answer?
- One week? Three, perhaps? - How the hell should I know?
- Is that working? - Of course.
It's more than likely we may not be able to defeat this menace.
The whole of England might be completely wiped out. There - did you get that?
- That's the only one I could find. - That'll do, I think.
Just get that in there...
There we are - that should work.
- What does it do? - Nothing.
Oh, no!
Nothing yet, but it will do once we start moving again.
Oh!
Do you think we ever will? We've been here so long.
Of course we will. Whatever's holding us must let go sometime.
Doctor, the scanner! It's clearing!
- The scanner's cleared! - Right.
Jamie, give me a hand while there's still time. Plug this in there.
Now, listen, both of you, as soon as we land...
.. whatever you do, don't let go. Hold on.
What's going to happen?
We're landing...
There... Now, hold tight.
It's not so bad as I thought.
- Is everyone all right? - Aye. What did you do?
I've managed to move us on a bit.
Not very far. Perhaps half a mile from where we were expected to land.
For the moment, we have eluded our captor.
Look at the scanner, both of you.
Where are we?
I really don't know, Victoria. Shall we go out and have a look?
- Is it safe? - I shouldn't think so for a moment!
Jamie...
I think we're going to need torches.
Some sort of grille.
Don't say you've landed us in a prison!
It could be the dungeons of a castle.
It's so dark.
Ah, steps.
Come along. Be careful.
Yes...
It seems to be a large room.
Tiled walls.
Curved ceiling.
Come on.
The floor seems to end here.
There's a sort of trench. Look.
- Hey, Doctor. Come and look at this. - What have you found, Victoria?
See for yourself.
"Covent... Garden... "
Yes, of course! It's an underground station. We're standing on the platform.
- Underground station? - Underground trains.
- A little after your time, Victoria. - Is it always as dark as this?
No, it's probably the middle of the night. Come on. Let's go up top.
Funny, isn't it, how we keep on landing on your Earth?
- The Doctor was wrong! - It's not night-time. It's broad daylight.
- Just let me get my breath... Those stairs! - It looks like we're locked in.
- That's strange. - Doctor...
- Yes? - Listen.
I can't hear anything.
Oh... It IS quiet. I see what you mean. The middle of London. There should be some noise.
There's an old man over there. Let's ask him.
Yes, go on.
Excuse me...
It's all right.
But, Doctor, did you see his face?
- It was covered with cobwebs! - Like the stuff we saw on the scanner.
- Yes. Now, come along. - Don't let's go into the tunnel. Please.
But we've got to get above ground. Let's try the next station. Jamie, no!
- Don't touch the rail! - What's the matter?
Stand still! Don't move.
Keep quite still, Jamie.
Oh!
It's all right. You can relax.
- The electricity is off. - What was all that about?
If there had been a current running through these rails, you'd have been fried.
Electrified. Burnt up.
Come along. It's safe now, I think, but we'd better be careful. Follow me.
- What are you doing? - Just confirming something.
Just as I thought. There haven't been any trains here for some time.
What's that over there?
It's a power cable. I wonder what it's doing down here.
In there quickly!
Soldiers? I wonder what they're doing down here.
- Let's go and ask them. - No. I think we'd better tread carefully.
Let's go and find out what's going on first.
What do you want us to do, Doctor?
You follow the soldiers, but keep out of sight.
I'm going to see where this cable goes to. Meet back here in a few minutes.
- What's the matter? - I thought I heard something.
- Getting a bit jumpy, aren't you, Weams? - It's no wonder, is it, Staff?
- Shall we connect the new drum now, Staff? - All right, Corporal.
- Good thing we fixed these lights. - Yeah.
- I can't hear anything. - Are they still there?
I think they must be moving. Come on.
Agh!
- I told you I heard something, didn't I? - Yeah.
Come on!
- I'm sorry! - It was only a cobweb!
- Do you think they heard? - Hope not. Come on.
Well, well, well, would you believe it? The Babes in the Wood!
- It's no good. I can't raise them, sir. - The truck was due there 20 minutes ago.
We've never had trouble at Holborn before.
- They're probably on their way back. - Perhaps you're right. Keep trying Holborn.
- Oh, hello. - This blast recorder's working now, Captain.
- Let me help. - I can manage.
I insist.
- Look here, Knight. I really must protest. - What's the matter now, Mr Chorley?
Professor Travers! He's being obstructive and secretive.
I was led to believe that I'd be given full facilities.
- Perhaps you can help, Miss Travers? - I am very busy.
- So am I! - There's not time for talking, Chorley.
I'll see that you're not left in the dark.
Right, you two. Stand over there. Keep an eye on them, Blake.
- Give the craftsman a hand. - But, Staff, I'm on this other job.
Don't argue. Just get on with it. I want that in the Operations Room upstairs.
- How's it going? - Just fine.
What's a girl like you doing in a job like this?
Well, when I was a little girl, I thought I'd like to be a scientist, so I became a scientist.
- Just like that? - Just like that.
Been a long time, Staff. Everything all right?
Yes, sir. Weams is struggling up with the cable now. Come on, you two!
- Any trouble at Charing Cross? - No trouble, sir.
All right, lads. You can buzz off now.
I've brought you back a present, sir. I found a couple of youngsters in the tunnel.
- What were they doing? - I don't know, sir.
- I thought I should bring them back here. - Put them in the common room.
I can't talk to them now. I want to get on with this demolition job.
Are you sure there are only two of them down there?
- Yes, miss. Why? - I don't want the tunnel blown up
- if someone's down there. - I see what you mean.
Make sure there's no one down there. I want that tunnel blown as soon as possible.
- How much longer will we be here? - Don't you like it here?
No, I don't. Where are we, anyway?
All right, Blake. I'll take over now. You two, in here.
- Where are we? - This place has been here a long time.
- It were a transit camp in World War II. - What do you do down here?
Now, now. Everybody knows what's happening, and you know you shouldn't be down here.
- You were on your own, weren't you? - Yes.
- You're quite sure there was nobody with you? - How many more times?
That's all right, then.
- Clear to fire, Staff? - Yes, they were on their own.
Right.
What was all that about?
I suppose there's no harm in telling you. You two are very lucky.
- We're going to blow up the tunnel. - What?!
- That's what the cable's for. - The Doctor!
It's all right. They were on their own. OK, let's not waste any more time. Off you go.
Agh!
