(DOCTOR WHO THEME)
(RUMBLING ROAR)
Doctor, come on, will you? Look!
Oh, my word! Into the Tardis. Quickly.
- Isn't it beautiful! - Eh?
- The volcanic eruption. It's beautiful! - Beautiful?
- A river of molten lava rolling down... - Shh, Jamie. Quiet. Oh, dear.
- Is something wrong? - This has happened before.
The fluid links aren't able to take the load. Oh!
(ZOE) Mercury vapour!
We can't stay here. We'll be buried by that lava. It's nearly on us, look!
- What a wonderful sight! - Fantastic!
- Get us out of here! - Don't worry. We're safe in the Tardis.
Are you sure? Has the Tardis ever been buried in lava before?
- No. - How can you be sure we'll be all right?
Perhaps the fluid links have cooled down by now.
- (WHIRRING) - That's a bit more power.
Zoe, can you read off what that meter is registering, please?
- Reading 987.3... - Yes...
- .4... 5... - Oh, no.
6...
It's jumped to 991... It's going up by numerals!
Oh, no! If I can't pull this down, we'll get stuck. That stupid, idiotic...
- The lava's up to the Tardis! - (ZOE) It's reached the 1,000 danger mark.
If I can unstick this stupid, idiotic...
There we are.
- Have you done it? - It's stopped the fluid links from vaporising.
- We shan't suffocate. - If we don't hurry, we'll be fried by the lava.
- Isn't there any way we can get away? - Well, there IS an emergency unit, but...
- I can't possibly use that. - But this IS an emergency!
But it moves the Tardis out of the time-space dimension, out of reality!
Fine. Reality's getting too hot, anyway!
Oh, all right.
Here we are.
Now, then, which end was...?
Yes...
I can't possibly use this. We don't know what will happen.
Stop your jabbering and get on with it. Look!
(PULSATING WHINE)
- (WHINING FADES) - Ah... There you are.
We're all right. What was all the panic about?
- Is there any reading on the meter, Zoe? - Yes, it's...
That's funny. There's no reading at all.
No. None of the meters are registering. Not one.
We're safe. We're out of that lava and we're all right here.
Yes, possibly. I'd better get working on the Tardis controls.
- Doctor, we're not actually in flight, are we? - No. Why?
Presumably we've landed, so why isn't the scanner showing anything?
Well, because...
Well, we're nowhere.
It's as simple as that. I'll be in the power room, Jamie.
Right.
What does he mean, we're nowhere?
I don't know.
I suppose he means that outside the Tardis now is nothing.
Just nothing.
(JAMIE) Hmm...
Well, I'm away to change, and I suggest you do the same.
- You look like a wee McLarty. - A what?
A ragamuffin. A... Oh, never mind.
- Doctor? - What's happened?
- Nothing. It's all exactly the same. - Good.
- You're worried by something. What is it? - Worried? No.
It's only the unknown that worries me.
But if there's nothing outside and we're nowhere,
- what IS there to worry about? - I don't know.
The emergency unit is limited to a certain time...
Because it's dangerous to stay where we are for any longer, yes.
We must be safe, otherwise the unit wouldn't let us stay here.
You're interested in what's outside, aren't you?
- Well, curious, yes. - Listen to me.
If we move outside the Tardis,
we step into a dimension about which we know nothing.
We shall be at the mercy of the forces,
- outside time and space as we know it. - But we should go out and see...
Zoe, we must stay in the Tardis.
(HAUNTING BAGPIPES)
(BAGPIPES CONTINUE)
- (MUSIC STOPS) - He's still got his head stuck in...
- Zoe, do you see where we are? - What?
- Look on the scanner. It's Scotland! - Scotland?
It WAS there.
- Oh, yes (?) - Look, I'm not seeing things.
- It was there. - Really?
Aye! The mist covered it over.
- You get a lot of mist in the Highlands. - So we've landed, then?
Yes. I couldn't have seen anything, could I?
- Oh, just a minute. - What?
There's a wee gadget on here that warns you to go elsewhere if there's any danger.
- It's definitely switched off. We've landed. - I think it's more likely that you saw...
(HUMMING)
- It can't be, Jamie! - It's switched off, all right.
(ZOE) It's the city.
My home!
(HUMMING)
You did see something, but it wasn't Scotland.
- It was! I know Scotland when I see it. - And I know my home city.
Anyway, there's your proof!
But I don't understand. It WAS there.
- I know, Scotland. - No. It was quite plainly...
Anyway, we've seen something, so we've landed.
- Yes. - Let's go out and see.
Not without the Doctor.
Oh, all right.
(HUMMING)
It is! Jamie, Doctor! It IS my home!
Oh, come on!
Now, which one...?
Oh, come on!
(VIBRATING HUM)
I know we definitely saw something!
But it's not poss... You say you both saw different things?
I know it was definitely Scotland.
Zoe thought she saw her home city, but it was very misty and she couldn't have seen right.
- So you both saw your homes? - No, Doctor. I'm saying that...
Zoe? Oh, my word. Zoe!
- Zoe! - I told her to wait. I'll go and get her.
No! Don't you see?
Those pictures that you saw on the scanner were put there to tempt you to go outside.
- Who by? - I don't know.
Someone or something wants us to go out of the Tardis.
- Some kind of danger? - I don't know.
- (BLEEPING) - Oh, no. That's the first warning.
- There isn't much time. - We can't leave Zoe there. I'll find her.
- No, Jamie! No! - (VIBRATING HUM)
Jamie!
- (RAPID BLEEPING) - Oh, no!
(METALLIC, RASPING HUM)
Who are you?
(HUMMING INTENSIFIES)
Who are you?
Where are you?
What do you want with me?
No...
No, I must fight.
I must fight!
I will fight!
(METALLIC HUM)
(ZOE SHOUTS) Jamie! Doctor! Where are you?
(JAMIE SHOUTS) Zoe!
Zoe!
- Oh, Jamie! I thought I was lost for good. - Aye...
It's funny out here. It's not the mist that we thought it was. It's...
Opaque. Nothingness, just like the Doctor said.
It doesn't feel right. Come on, back to the Tardis.
- Is that the right way? - Of course it's the right way... Oh...
Er... No, it could be um... Oh...
- We're lost, aren't we? - No, I wouldn't say that.
We're just er...
Well, the um...
We're just a...
- Do you want to know something? - What?
- I think we're lost. - This isn't a joke!
No, you're right.
The Doctor was saying that those images we saw on our scanner
were put here to tempt us out.
Well, if somebody was trying to tempt us away, where are they? And who are they?
Let's not be in too much of a hurry to find that out.
- What are we going to do? - The Tardis can't be that far away.
If we stand here and shout for the Doctor, when he hears us, he can guide us back.
- Doctor! - Doctor! Can you hear us?
(JAMIE AND ZOE'S VOICES ECHO ) Doctorl
(JAMIE) Answer if you can hear usl (DOCTOR) Nol I will fightl
I will fightl
This is hopeless. We could be going round in circles.
You know, I've got the funny feeling that we're being watched. Do you not feel it too?
Yes...
(BUZZING)
- Can you see anyone? - No. No one at all.
- Jamie, look! - (HUMMING)
What is it?
It's very faint, but I think it's my home again!
- Zoe, it's a trick. You know it is. - Oh, Jamie, it's gone!
That proves it. A city like that doesn't just disappear.
- But it IS out there. - It's not! You know it isn't.
No, I know...
For a moment, I thought it was real.
It was almost as though I was seeing what I most wanted to see.
Jamie, you're right. We've got to get away.
Jamie?
(HAUNTING BAGPIPES)
Jamie. It's not real.
- I know, but it's there. - No, Jamie. It's not.
- I must... - No, Jamie, no!
- (BAGPIPES STOP) - What did you do...?
The Doctor's right. There is something or someone trying to tempt us away.
- (BUZZING) - What are they?
I don't know, but they don't look very friendly!
(BUZZING CONTINUES)
(ZOE SCREAMS)
(DOCTOR) Jamie, Zoe, don't gol
Don't gol
(A MAN WHISPERS MENACINGLY) Follow theml Follow and save theml
(INTENSE HUMMING)
- (DOCTOR) Who are you? - Follow theml
- (DOCTOR) No. I won't. I won't give in. - You will.
You willl
(PULSING BEEP)
(SCREAMS)
(INTENSE HUMMING)
(MENACING WHISPER) There is still time. Save them.
Save theml
(ELECTRONIC HUM)
(DOCTOR) I can't let it happen.
I can'tl
(VIBRATING HUM)
(HUMMING FADES)
Jamie?
Zoe?
(DOCTOR) Jamie, Zoe, concentrate only on my words.
Think of me. Think of the Tardis. They are the only real things here.
Everything else is unreality. It is only in your minds. Now concentrate.
Come to me now. Nowl
Walk straight to the Tardis. Don't stop.
Come on. Keep walking to the Tardis.
Come on.
Don't look behind you.
Now go in. Go in!
Jamie! Zoe!
Go in before it's too late!
(PULSING BEEP)
Go in!
- What's been happening? - Shh, Jamie. Quiet.
How do you feel?
- Where have we been? - Nowhere.
- But... - All mental images. Pure imagination.
- Why? What's all this about? - I don't know,
but we've got to be very, very careful now.
Careful? We're safe in the Tardis, aren't we?
Yes, possibly.
- (ROARING HUM) - What's that?
- I don't know. - Is the Tardis going wrong again?
No, we're on our way all right, but I don't know where to.
That's not unusual (!) Tell me when we get there.
I'm sorry, Doctor. I shouldn't have gone outside.
- I don't think you could help it. - Why not?
I think whoever it was that was tempting you outside made it irresistible.
- Even I gave in when the voice said... - What voice?
I don't know.
Perhaps there wasn't one. Perhaps it was just illusion.
- But we are safe now? - Oh, yes.
The Tardis is performing normally... That's odd.
- What? - Well, this meter's dropped below 1,000.
Is that critical?
It means we're using more power than we're storing.
We've got an emergency power booster unit here if I can find the switch.
No? Oh, dear. It's here somewhere.
(PIERCING HUM, WHINNYING HORSE)
- Found it? - Yes.
Now, just a little bit more power. Read off the meter, will you, Zoe?
Reading 990...
- 1... 2... 3... - Good.
- Agh! - (DOCTOR) Quiet, Jamie!
(JAMIE) What's been happening? (ZOE) Steady at 4.
- Oh, no. - Is something wrong?
- 5... 6... - Fine.
- 7... 8... - Let it creep up now.
- I don't want to blow the fluid links again. - I had the most peculiar dream.
This white horse had a horn in the middle of his head...
- A unicorn? - Aye. Probably.
He was charging straight towards me, head down, ready for the kill.
- Really, Jamie, your imagination is... - What's the matter?
I don't... Jamie, look!
- Doctor? What's up? - Quiet, Jamie. Quiet.
(VIBRATING HUM)
That sound.
That vibration. It's alien.
I can feel it too. In my head!
I can't seem to concentrate. Concentrate, both of you. Concentrate on something!
- I can't! - Read out the figures to me, Zoe. Aloud.
- 9-9-1... - Louder. Both of you, read them off!
- 2... 3... - It's getting stronger. It's... Oh!
- 4... - It's dragging me.
- Concentrate. Both of you! - 5...
It's too strong.
- It's too powerful. - 6...
- 7... - It's too powerful.
I must fight... I must fight...
(DOCTOR) I will fight!
(VIBRATING HUM)
Jamie, the Doctor!
