"and out little life..." "...is rounded with sleep." this is hardly the most inspiring schoolouting for them - is it? you think i should shield them from what is going on? make them grow up as blind as we were? that's a very liberal outlook. i'm surethey'd rather be playing football. what's so liberal about telling them thetruth? sorry miss. football? wake up alex, this is the nineties. more like nintendo.
nin-what? high functioning bipeds; capable ofamazing feats of ingenuity. yet they still delude themselves it's a freecountry. does it make you feel futile, sampson? sorry sir? being human? don't you feel... inadequate about that fact? sorry sir, i don't quite understand. that would appear to be the problem with
your entire species. possible danger; subject closing in from the northwest. stop him, before he gets too close. a new dawn is breaking for all our lives.you scorn me- -when you should trust me. they're meant to be leading a protest against him.he's got them in the palm of his hand! get out of here; get away! get away from here! you sort a target; a reason to- "you scorn me - when you should trust me..."
dorothy? dorothy? dorothy - what the hell'swrong? the future is in my hands - and mine alone. we'd better get you to hospital. let me go! do not move! escape is impossible! stop! no - bring them to me. alive! take cover!
dorothy? dorothy!? are you alright? what's happening to me? let's get out of here! where the hell have we landed?! it's winter - 1999. daleks aren't meant to be in this time zone. yeah, but don't forget what is. you know what it's capable of. and now it's got sanders and flemyng.
who was the girl? i don't know but i've got a feeling that ifwe find her- -we'll find the doctor. the chemical research division reportscomplete success mr hawkspur. a spore has been developed capable of breakingdown, separating and liquefying rock- -into it's compound elements. waste division report 100%success. 20,000 gallons of untreated- -waste has been dumped off the coast ofnorth wales. chemical plant allocation has beenconfirmed.
that the brattle rainforest campaign has beendefeated. all vegetation should be cleared - in 11days. construction will begin on day 14 of your- -schedule. satisfactory resultswhen they should be exceptional. the earth is an untapped reservoir of power. your task is to control it. manipulate it. drain it dry. dig into it's heart - it's core! i want to feel this planet's blood congeal on my hand.
now go. speak to me. sir, we have the eco-troopers. i'm on my way. ah, frelane. we have a slight problem to deal with.namely- -your incompetence. do you think i'll get a sack? why?
when parents start to complain that theirkids are being taught by a lunatic- i just can't see going down well with the head master. don't worry. they probably thought you were playing. give them some credit- alex. i know they're not in mensa but they're notthat stupid. there's not a curfew on in this area; is there? it's just running late. stop worrying.
there's a phone back there- i think i'll- let me go. but you're- i'm fine. bad day dreams; nothing more. besides; if the train comes, you can keep itwaiting till i get back. alex. let stealth be our watchword, shh! it would seem that my past is catchingup with me.
and as you can see- you're human! how observant you are. i've moved on to a higherplane of thoughts and existence and you know, i'm actuallypleased to see you. your ancestors offer very littleamusement value when one terminates- their lives. whereas you appreciate death with a far greater sense of irony. when the others find the doc- doctor?
please; don't you think i realized the scaleof my mistake? if i'd have absorbed his mind instead ofkilling him- i'd have known about that little trapyou'd set for me in advance. much like yourselves i deduced that a timetraveler with such obvious affection for thisplanet would have visited at some point in the past. i watched. i waited. i found him. i'm so grateful to you forgiving me a second chance to eradicate your species.
this time, i promise you, i'm doing it with farmore style. incidentally, i applaud yourvaliant efforts to follow me into the past but you mistimed it. you're nineteen years too late. i found the doctor first. it's quite stimulating trying to keepcontrol of him. since he escaped from here, he seems to be regaining some of the instincts and faculties i wiped from his memory. this isn't the one. there's a young girl who seemsto be causing the problem.
i don't know how but i will when ifind her; you have my word on that. restrain him; i don't see that recapturingthe doctor will be that much of a problem. it would seem that wherever she may go- -he will surely follow. there's evidence of an attack- we've found a kind of webbing all overthe place, sir. how many casualties? no bodies.
we've found an id card. we don't know ifthere was anyone- -with him. mystery continues to surroundthe disappearance of alex stewart, son of the former head of the unitednations intelligence task force, brigadier lethbridge stewart. tony mccabe sent this report- -earlier today. long renowned for his reluctance to speakof his time with unit, today's unexpected return from theinternational peace conference in geneva showed no signs of change with hisattitude towards the media.
would you comment on the widely heldbelief that your son's been taken by a foreign power? middle east or the orient brigadier? has there been any kind of ransom demand? imbeciles! feeling any better? how did i... more to the point; who brought you hereand why? have they found alex?
my son appears to have simply vanished into thin air. or... or what? tell me about your dreams, dorothy. sorry? please; it's important. well it's just that i keep seeing... autons? yeti? cybermen? daleks? you respond to words that you've nevereven heard.
when i found you outside, i thought youwere unconscious- -but you kept saying things. names, placesfrom my past. i think you're being used as a desperatecry for help. what? i don't understand. what do you mean - by who? a traveller. a colleague. i suppose i could even callhim- -a friend. it must have been close to twenty yearsago. i was still involved with unit.
there was a call from whitehall. there was a bad accident at the pharos centre. they were using the radio telescope tomonitor space waves- -that sort of thing. some poor chap fell off it's highest gantry. the fall should have killed him instantly. but he was alive and he was asking for me!
