[Dark Tower staircase]
(The Third Doctor and Sarah Jane are walking down.)
Sarah-Jane Smith :
I can't go on -- I feel as if something
were pushing me back.
The Established Dandy :
Yes. Yes, I can feel it too, Sarah.
It's the mind of Rassilon.
We must be nearing the tomb.
Now, you've got to fight it.
You must keep Your Mind under control.
Sarah-Jane Smith :
I can't, I feel as if something
absolutely terrible
were going to happen.
The Established Dandy :
Sit down here. Sit down.
Rest for a moment. All right?
Sarah-Jane Smith :
Where are you going?
The Established Dandy :
I won't be a second.
Sarah-Jane Smith : Well, don't be too long.
[Dark Tower corridor]
(The Third Doctor walks along to a corner, then turns to go back to Sarah. A man in army uniform walks round the corner.)
Mike Yates' Ghost :
Doctor. Doctor, this way.
The Established Dandy :
Mike? Mike Yates?
How did you get here?
Mike Yates' Ghost :
Same way as you.
Liz Shaw is here, too.
The Established Dandy :
Good heavens.
(Liz comes round the corner.)
The Established Dandy :
Hello, Liz. Any more of you?
Liz Shaws' Ghost :
Someone you should know very well.
Come and see for yourself.
The Established Dandy :
Huh, not that little fellow in
the checked trousers and
the black frock coat.
Liz Shaws' Ghost :
And more. There are Five of You now.
The Established Dandy :
Oh, good grief.
Mike Yates' Ghost :
And they're waiting for you.
The Established Dandy :
Yes, well, you wait here for a moment.
I'll go and get Sarah.
(Yates blocks his way.)
Mike Yates' Ghost :
I'll fetch her.
The Established Dandy :
No, I, er, I think I'll go, Mike.
She's nervous enough as it is.
Liz Shaws' Ghost :
Let Mike go. Your other selves
need you urgently.
The Established Dandy :
.... No, I think I'll go, thanks.
(The Doctor dodges round Yates.)
Mike Yates' Ghost :
No, Doctor!
Liz Shaws' Ghost :
Stop him!
The Established Dandy :
How? You're phantoms,
illusions of the mind!
Liz Shaws' Ghost :
Stop him!!!
(Liz and Yates disappear in a cloud of black smoke.)
[Dark Tower staircase]
Sarah-Jane Smith :
What's happening? Doctor?
Doctor! Oh, there you are.
The Established Dandy :
Sarah?
Sarah-Jane Smith :
Sarah? Of course I am.
What are you talking about?
Listen, why did you leave me for so long?
And what was that scream?
The Established Dandy :
They were just phantoms from The Past.
Sarah-Jane Smith :
Yes, well, I'm in The Present and I'm Real.
The Established Dandy :
Yes. Yeah, you're real enough.
Come on.
(They head off in the other direction.)
[Dark Tower corridor]
Tegan :
Do you feel weird, Doctor?
Old Grandfather :
Full of strange fears and
terrible forebodings?
Tegan :
That's it.
Old Grandfather :
No, as a matter of fact, I don't. It's all illusion, child.
We're close to the domain of Rassilon,
whose mind is reaching out to attack us.
Just ignore it, as I do.
Tegan :
How?
Old Grandfather :
Fear itself is largely an illusion.
And at my age, there's little left to fear.
Hmm. No, there's nothing here to harm us.
(The Master comes down a staircase behind them and follows.)
[Dark Tower staircase]
(The Second Doctor and the Brigadier are coming up some stairs.)
The Brig :
I don't like it, Doctor. I feel rather unwell.
Touch of nausea, I think.
The Cosmic Hobo :
What you feel is Fear, Brigadier,
projecting from the mind of Rassilon.
The Brig :
Fear?
(A woman screams nearby.)
WOMAN [OC]:
Doctor, Help Me!
The Cosmic Hobo :
No. It may be A Trap.
I'll go and see. You wait here.
The Brig :
Certainly not.
I'm coming with you.
The Cosmic Hobo :
Oh, very well, but don't get in the way.
(Another scream.)
[Dark Tower corridor]
The Cosmic Hobo :
Take this.
(He gives the torch to the Brigadier. The scream is close by.)
The Brig :
What was that?
The Cosmic Hobo :
We'll go and see.
(The Brigadier hooks the torch on a nearby sconce and they walk up to the corner.)
The Brig :
Good grief!
The Cosmic Hobo :
Jamie! Zoe!
Jamie McCrimmon's Ghost :
Stay back, Doctor.
The Cosmic Hobo :
Why, what's happening?
Zoe Herriot's Ghost :
Don't come any closer.
There's a force field.
The Cosmic Hobo :
A force field? We'll soon see about that.
Jamie McCrimmon's Ghost :
No, don't, Doctor. If the force field
is disturbed, it'll destroy us.
Zoe Herriot's Ghost :
You must go back.
The Brig :
Well, Doctor, what are we going to do?
The Cosmic Hobo :
Get them out of it.
Jamie McCrimmon's Ghost :
No, no, please don't, Doctor.
Zoe Herriot's Ghost :
Oh, go back. Save Yourselves.
The Cosmic Hobo :
I can't. I can't leave you there.
Zoe Herriot's Ghost :
You must.
The Brig :
We could find another way
into the tomb area.
The Cosmic Hobo :
But Zoe and Jamie would still be trapped.
Jamie McCrimmon's Ghost :
The Brigadier's right --
The Cosmic Hobo :
....or would they? Just a minute....
It's a Matter of Memory....
Zoe Herriot's Ghost :
Stay away!
The Cosmic Hobo :
Why? I can't harm you.
Jamie McCrimmon's Ghost :
One step nearer and we're dead!
The Cosmic Hobo :
You can't kill illusions.
(The Second Doctor steps between Jamie and Zoe. Jamie's voice echoes.)
Jamie McCrimmon's Ghost :
No, Brigadier...!
The Cosmic Hobo :
You're not Real --
When you were returned
to Your Own People,
The Time Lords erased Your Memory
of the period you spent with me --
....so How Do You Know
Who We Are? Answer!
(Zoe and Jamie scream and disappear in a cloud of black smoke.)
The Brig :
They're gone.
The Cosmic Hobo :
Yes, yes, it's sad....
[Dark Tower staircase]
(They keep going upwards.)
The Brig :
I still don't like it, Doctor.
I don't fully understand why we're here.
The Cosmic Hobo :
You want to get Home?
The Brig :
Of course.
The Cosmic Hobo :
That is why we are here.
Have Faith, Brigadier --
Have I ever led you astray?
The Brig :
On many occasions.
The Cosmic Hobo :
Yes, well -- This will be The Exception.
Come along.
