00:00:04,530 |
00:00:09,810 |
00:05.28 |
The blue police-box shape of the TARDIS rushes forward through the space-time vortex. |
| 2 |
00:00:09,880 |
00:00:20,470 |
00:10.59 |
The Doctor's face, wide eyed and curly haired, forms in the tunnel of onrushing light; then is replaced by the words DOCTOR WHO in a diamond-shape logo. |

Part 2. |
| 6 |
00:00:32,192 |
00:00:34,641 |
00:02.44 |
Roth and Sarah are held captive. |
| 7 |
00:00:34,752 |
00:00:37,752 |
00:03 |
A powerful, squat figure emerges from the ship. |
| 8 |
00:00:42,332 |
00:00:45,332 |
00:03 |
The figure wears flexible metallic armour with a dome shaped helmet. |
| 9 |
00:00:45,832 |
00:00:48,832 |
00:03 |
It removes its helmet from the wide locking collar. |
| 10 |
00:00:49,072 |
00:00:52,072 |
00:03 |
Underneath are the lumpy, troll-like features of a Sontaran! |
| 11 |
00:00:52,792 |
00:00:58,472 |
00:05.68 |
Harry watches from cover as the Sontaran stalks toward Sarah and looms over her. |
| 12 |
00:01:04,452 |
00:01:08,582 |
00:04.13 |
He grasps Sarah’s neck, scrutinising her features. |
| 13 |
00:01:08,992 |
00:01:15,232 |
00:06.24 |
Releasing her, he taps a device on his belt. The cords retract into the robots carapace, freeing Roth and Sarah. |
| 14 |
00:01:45,262 |
00:01:47,361 |
00:02.09 |
(FAST) Styre speaks into a device. |
| 15 |
00:02:02,552 |
00:02:05,552 |
00:03 |
Panicking, Roth runs. The Sontaran shoots him. |
| 16 |
00:02:24,542 |
00:02:27,542 |
00:03 |
Roughly, he examines Sarah again. |
| 17 |
00:02:36,832 |
00:02:38,851 |
00:02.01 |
Harry slips quietly away. |
| 18 |
00:02:39,872 |
00:02:44,312 |
00:04.44 |
The ravine. The Doctor is trying to climb the steep slope using a tree branch. |
| 19 |
00:02:50,292 |
00:02:54,002 |
00:03.71 |
The three Galsec men stand at the top, weapons drawn. |
| 20 |
00:03:13,472 |
00:03:15,561 |
00:02.08 |
Harry explores the rocks. |
| 21 |
00:03:17,752 |
00:03:24,082 |
00:06.33 |
He discovers a man wearing a GalSec uniform manacled to the rocks. He’s bearded, emaciated and dirty. |
| 22 |
00:03:30,632 |
00:03:33,632 |
00:03 |
Harry examines him clinically, checking his eyes. |
| 23 |
00:03:34,952 |
00:03:39,802 |
00:04.85 |
The ravine. The doctor hauls himself slowly and carefully up over the edge. |
| 24 |
00:03:46,802 |
00:03:48,071 |
00:01.26 |
(FAST) The Doctor looks past him. |
| 25 |
00:03:50,272 |
00:03:53,652 |
00:03.38 |
The silver, insect-like robot, comes up behind the men. |
| 26 |
00:03:54,662 |
00:03:58,872 |
00:04.21 |
Surprised, they turn, and unleash a barrage of blaster fire. |
| 27 |
00:03:59,432 |
00:04:04,802 |
00:05.37 |
But the Robot is immune to their weapons and advances on them. They are trapped between the robot and the ravine. |
| 28 |
00:04:05,472 |
00:04:09,832 |
00:04.36 |
The cords whip out and catch Krans, then Vural, then Erak, pinning their arms. |
| 29 |
00:04:10,432 |
00:04:14,132 |
00:03.70 |
At the rocks, Harry puts a wet cloth into the manacled mans mouth. |
| 30 |
00:04:14,352 |
00:04:20,182 |
00:05.83 |
Weakly, the man sucks the water. Harry tugs ineffectually at the manacles. |
| 31 |
00:04:30,992 |
00:04:33,992 |
00:03 |
Harry removes the cloth so the man can speak. |
| 32 |
00:04:39,632 |
00:04:42,632 |
00:03 |
He mops the mans brow with the cloth. |
| 33 |
00:04:44,472 |
00:04:46,661 |
00:02.18 |
The man nods weakly. |
| 34 |
00:04:47,512 |
00:04:53,042 |
00:05.53 |
The ravine. The Doctor explores, working his way along the rocks and checking the tangled vegetation. |
| 35 |
00:04:55,392 |
00:04:58,832 |
00:03.44 |
He discovers the cave entrance and sniffs at it. |
| 36 |
00:05:01,592 |
00:05:04,592 |
00:03 |
He brushes back the foliage and crawls inside. |
| 37 |
00:05:04,752 |
00:05:06,491 |
00:01.73 |
(FAST) Elsewhere among the rocks. |
| 38 |
00:05:21,872 |
00:05:24,401 |
00:02.52 |
Sarah is sitting, manacled to a rock-face. |
| 39 |
00:05:34,211 |
00:05:36,101 |
00:01.89 |
Styre licks his lips |
| 40 |
00:05:55,832 |
00:05:59,422 |
00:03.59 |
Styre takes a device from his belt and presses a button. |
| 41 |
00:06:00,832 |
00:06:04,992 |
00:04.16 |
He then stalks away throught a gap in the rocks. |
| 42 |
00:06:05,152 |
00:06:07,621 |
00:02.46 |
Sarah tests her bonds. |
| 43 |
00:06:08,112 |
00:06:12,012 |
00:03.90 |
Nearby, Harry, now equipped with a stout branch, jumps from rock to rock. |
| 44 |
00:06:12,472 |
00:06:15,472 |
00:03 |
He sees Styre coming and takes cover. |
| 45 |
00:06:16,792 |
00:06:22,592 |
00:05.80 |
He crouches behind an edifice of lichen-encrusted rock, branch held ready. |
| 46 |
00:06:23,521 |
00:06:26,441 |
00:02.92 |
The Sontaran moves off in another direction. |
| 47 |
00:06:28,232 |
00:06:34,672 |
00:06.44 |
In the cave, the Doctor squeezes through the narrow gap, and then emerges, wide-eyed, into the daylight. |
| 48 |
00:06:34,673 |
00:06:37,673 |
00:03 |
He sets off towards the weathered granite outcrop. |
| 49 |
00:06:37,752 |
00:06:39,821 |
00:02.06 |
Harry explores the rocks. |
| 50 |
00:06:44,142 |
00:06:49,452 |
00:05.31 |
He bounds over the boulders and finds her, sitting, strapped to a rock face. |
| 51 |
00:06:56,072 |
00:06:58,051 |
00:01.97 |
Harry recoils in pain. |
| 52 |
00:07:01,032 |
00:07:04,032 |
00:03 |
He pushes his hands ineffectively against thin air. |
| 53 |
00:07:22,872 |
00:07:26,192 |
00:03.32 |
Nearby, the Doctor climbs up the rocks. |
| 54 |
00:07:27,912 |
00:07:33,192 |
00:05.28 |
Elsewhere among the rocks, Styre operates controls on a yellow globe with an inset screen. |
| 55 |
00:08:36,032 |
00:08:40,282 |
00:04.25 |
He terminates the communication and speaks into his recording device. |
| 56 |
00:08:48,912 |
00:08:51,281 |
00:02.36 |
Styre operates a control. |
| 57 |
00:08:52,432 |
00:08:55,432 |
00:03 |
On the monitor, Sarah is waiting for Harry to return. |
| 58 |
00:08:55,632 |
00:09:03,082 |
00:07.45 |
On her forehead is an alien device, a white oval, lined with red veins, with a metal protuberance like an extruded metal cog. |
| 59 |
00:09:03,363 |
00:09:06,363 |
00:03 |
Her eyes suddenly notice movement down and to her left. |
| 60 |
00:09:09,832 |
00:09:13,902 |
00:04.07 |
A snake, mottled green and brown, wraps its coils around her wrist. |
| 61 |
00:09:14,112 |
00:09:17,732 |
00:03.62 |
Sarah shudders, but forces herself to look away. |
| 62 |
00:09:18,032 |
00:09:21,932 |
00:03.90 |
When she looks back, there is no snake, just the ropes binding her wrist. |
| 63 |
00:09:24,472 |
00:09:26,011 |
00:01.53 |
She looks up. |
| 64 |
00:09:26,232 |
00:09:32,852 |
00:06.62 |
The top of the cliff looms over her. It seems like the boulders may topple at any time. |
| 65 |
00:09:35,992 |
00:09:43,052 |
00:07.06 |
Now, the ground at her feet softens into thick, gelatinous mud. It heaves and swallows her legs ... |
| 66 |
00:09:44,392 |
00:09:50,002 |
00:05.61 |
She is paralysed, eyes wide with fear, gasping for air, as it oozes higher, and higher ... |
| 67 |
00:09:59,512 |
00:10:04,852 |
00:05.34 |
He burns out the forcefield generator in the rock with his sonic-screwdriver, and snatches the device from her forhead. |
| 68 |
00:10:08,392 |
00:10:11,392 |
00:03 |
Sarah falls unconscious. The Doctor cradles her head. |
| 69 |
00:10:13,211 |
00:10:16,041 |
00:02.83 |
(FAST) Styre emerges from a passage between the rocks. |
| 70 |
00:10:20,541 |
00:10:22,711 |
00:02.17 |
(FAST) Styre swats the Doctor away. |
| 71 |
00:10:38,192 |
00:10:39,981 |
00:01.78 |
He draws his gun. |
| 72 |
00:10:43,712 |
00:10:46,101 |
00:02.38 |
Styre spins, but it’s a trick! The Doctor shoves him. |
| 73 |
00:10:46,102 |
00:10:47,452 |
00:01.35 |
Styre raises his gun. |
| 74 |
00:10:48,512 |
00:10:51,532 |
00:03.02 |
The Doctor dodges and runs. Styre adjusts his aim. |
| 75 |
00:10:52,392 |
00:10:53,501 |
00:01.10 |
The Doctor falls. |
| 76 |
00:11:02,312 |
00:11:07,282 |
00:04.97 |
Later, the robot drags the three GalSec men to the Sontaran space-craft |
| 77 |
00:11:13,392 |
00:11:18,182 |
00:04.79 |
The door in the spherical craft opens and Styre emerges. |
| 78 |
00:11:24,202 |
00:11:27,632 |
00:03.43 |
Styre stalks down the slope from his ship toward them. |
| 79 |
00:12:00,192 |
00:12:03,552 |
00:03.36 |
Now at the rockface, Harry examines the unconscious Sarah. |
| 80 |
00:12:03,553 |
00:12:05,382 |
00:01.82 |
Troubled, he gets up. |
| 81 |
00:12:08,272 |
00:12:12,022 |
00:03.75 |
He nimbly jumps down and across the boulders to the body. |
| 82 |
00:12:17,472 |
00:12:21,932 |
00:04.46 |
Seething, he grasps his heavy branch and stalks away to check on the galsec man nearby. |
| 83 |
00:12:28,031 |
00:12:31,881 |
00:03.85 |
The pale man is unresponsive. Harry checks for a heartbeat. |
| 84 |
00:12:33,792 |
00:12:36,882 |
00:03.09 |
Harry quickly takes cover, pressing himself against a rock-face. |
| 85 |
00:12:38,032 |
00:12:42,712 |
00:04.68 |
Styre, still not wearing his helmet, emerges from a dark passage between the rocks. |
| 86 |
00:12:42,712 |
00:12:44,931 |
00:02.21 |
He approaches the Galsec man. |
| 87 |
00:12:51,052 |
00:12:55,432 |
00:04.38 |
The troll-like Sontaran roughly examines him. |
| 88 |
00:12:56,112 |
00:12:59,112 |
00:03 |
He speaks into the wedge-shaped device. |
| 89 |
00:13:32,232 |
00:13:37,232 |
00:05 |
Harry, gripping his club tightly, sneaks up on Styre as he dictates. |
| 90 |
00:13:38,992 |
00:13:41,992 |
00:03 |
But before he can strike a hand clamps over his mouth. |
| 91 |
00:13:42,872 |
00:13:45,872 |
00:03 |
It is the Doctor, who leads him quietly away. |
| 92 |
00:14:05,661 |
00:14:07,011 |
00:01.35 |
He throws it away. |
| 93 |
00:14:32,272 |
00:14:36,622 |
00:04.35 |
Leaving Harry, the Doctor clambers up the blocky granite boulders. |
| 94 |
00:14:41,032 |
00:14:44,032 |
00:03 |
He makes his way along the top of the outcrop. |
| 95 |
00:14:44,712 |
00:14:46,831 |
00:02.11 |
Meanwhile, Styre begins a new experiment. |
| 96 |
00:14:54,312 |
00:15:00,172 |
00:05.86 |
Vural is lying shackled to a rock. Erak and Krans hold each end of a flattened bar above him. |
| 97 |
00:15:14,761 |
00:15:17,992 |
00:03.23 |
Erak and Krans struggle with the bar as it changes weight. |
| 98 |
00:15:19,272 |
00:15:23,212 |
00:03.94 |
Forced to their knees, they struggle to stop it crushing Vural. |
| 99 |
00:15:23,312 |
00:15:28,942 |
00:05.63 |
The Doctor meanwhile warily approaches the iron-grey globe of the Sontaran space ship nestled in the rocks. |
| 100 |
00:15:33,312 |
00:15:36,312 |
00:03 |
Alerted, the robot approaches and scans him. |
| 101 |
00:15:46,992 |
00:15:49,751 |
00:02.75 |
Calmly he holds up his sonic-screwdriver. |
| 102 |
00:15:51,761 |
00:15:56,922 |
00:05.16 |
The robot shudders, its articulated legs collapsing awkwardly, its head waving too and fro. |
| 103 |
00:15:58,712 |
00:16:00,601 |
00:01.88 |
He looks towards the distant cry. |
| 104 |
00:16:03,512 |
00:16:05,301 |
00:01.78 |
They struggle with the gravity bar. |
| 105 |
00:16:18,232 |
00:16:21,232 |
00:03 |
The bar returns to normal and they lift it clear of Vural. |
| 106 |
00:16:24,752 |
00:16:27,031 |
00:02.27 |
Styre stalks angrily away. |
| 107 |
00:16:29,912 |
00:16:34,302 |
00:04.39 |
Erak strains against his bonds to reach his machete laying discarded nearby. |
| 108 |
00:16:35,792 |
00:16:38,792 |
00:03 |
Styre meanhwile is at the communicator in the rocks. |
| 109 |
00:16:38,793 |
00:16:40,532 |
00:01.73 |
Hidden, the Doctor eavesdrops. |
| 110 |
00:17:17,792 |
00:17:19,911 |
00:02.11 |
The Doctor slips quietly away. |
| 111 |
00:17:20,212 |
00:17:21,621 |
00:01.40 |
Later: |
| 112 |
00:17:54,651 |
00:17:57,141 |
00:02.49 |
He takes Harry’s stout branch. |
| 113 |
00:18:32,272 |
00:18:34,811 |
00:02.53 |
Styre has resumed his sadistic experiment. |
| 114 |
00:19:24,712 |
00:19:27,712 |
00:03 |
Styre throws his gun down and grabs Erak’s machete. |
| 115 |
00:19:30,792 |
00:19:32,651 |
00:01.85 |
The Doctor jumps down. |
| 116 |
00:19:34,021 |
00:19:39,122 |
00:05.10 |
Styre lunges with the machete, but the Doctor parries and lands a blow as Styre stumbles into the rock face. |
| 117 |
00:19:39,352 |
00:19:43,672 |
00:04.32 |
Styre spins and takes wild swipes, but the Doctor defensively guards himself with the branch. |
| 118 |
00:19:43,872 |
00:19:48,782 |
00:04.91 |
The Doctor grins, goading Styre. Styre strikes again, and misses. The Doctor whacks Styres arm. |
| 119 |
00:19:52,032 |
00:19:56,912 |
00:04.88 |
Meanwhile, Sarah and Harry rush in to help Erak and Krans lift the gravity bar from Vurals chest. |
| 120 |
00:20:01,632 |
00:20:06,472 |
00:04.84 |
Styre, on the offensive, chases the Doctor, who climbs to higher ground on the giant boulders. |
| 121 |
00:20:06,552 |
00:20:09,552 |
00:03 |
Harry now scrabbles over the rocks toward the Sontaran Space ship. |
| 122 |
00:20:09,752 |
00:20:12,752 |
00:03 |
Styre, growing more enraged, strikes wildly at the Doctor and misses. |
| 123 |
00:20:15,272 |

Meanwhile, Harry, armed with the Doctor’s sonic-screwdriver, points it at the Sontaran ship. |
| 124 |
00:20:20,702 |
00:20:22,471 |
00:01.76 |
The door swings open. |
| 125 |
00:20:22,752 |
00:20:27,312 |
00:04.56 |
Meanwhile, Styre's movements are increasingly laboured, his blows erratic. |
| 126 |
00:20:30,552 |
00:20:34,992 |
00:04.44 |
The Sontaran staggers away, but the Doctor leaps from above, knocking him down. |
| 127 |
00:20:34,992 |
00:20:40,202 |
00:05.21 |
They wrestle, but the powerful alien easily shrugs off the Doctors attack, and raises the machete. |
| 128 |
00:20:41,231 |
00:20:44,231 |
00:03 |
Vural runs down the slope, followed by Erak and Krans. |
| 129 |
00:20:44,911 |
00:20:49,242 |
00:04.33 |
He grabs the Sontarans arm. Styre turns and lands a lethal blow on Vurals neck. |
| 130 |
00:20:51,912 |
00:20:56,252 |
00:04.34 |
Once again, the Doctor launches himself at Styre, knocking him to the ground. |
| 131 |
00:20:59,961 |
00:21:02,961 |
00:03 |
Harry leaves the ship, carrying a mechanical component. |
| 132 |
00:21:07,152 |
00:21:10,542 |
00:03.39 |
Using the Doctor's momemtum, Styre flips the Doctor over and throws him to the ground. |
| 133 |
00:21:11,112 |
00:21:14,112 |
00:03 |
He staggers away, towards his ship. |
| 134 |
00:21:23,952 |
00:21:26,952 |
00:03 |
With laboured steps he staggers into his ship. |
| 135 |
00:21:36,992 |
00:21:39,992 |
00:03 |
The three of them run and take cover behind a boulder. |
| 136 |
00:21:42,872 |
00:21:48,832 |
00:05.96 |
Smoke billows from the Sontaran scout ship, and Styre emerges, staggering, clutching the back of his neck. |
| 137 |
00:21:50,032 |
00:21:51,671 |
00:01.63 |
He falls awkwardly. |
| 138 |
00:21:53,382 |
00:22:00,902 |
00:07.52 |
As they watch, his golem-like face crumples like a balloon with the air let out, the tissues within collapsing. |
| 139 |
00:22:07,672 |
00:22:11,111 |
00:03.43 |
The ship explodes in a magnesium white flash. |
| 140 |
00:22:15,792 |
00:22:19,792 |
00:04 |
Sarah peeps up from behind a rock. |
| 141 |
00:22:20,432 |
00:22:22,881 |
00:02.44 |
Then Harry and the Doctor. |
| 142 |
00:22:51,432 |
00:22:56,872 |
00:05.44 |
Later, the Doctor finds Styres communication module, nestled in the rocks, and operates a control. |
| 143 |
00:23:30,091 |
00:23:32,091 |
00:02 |
He grins, cat like. |
| 144 |
00:23:36,772 |
00:23:40,662 |
00:03.89 |
At the transmat station, the Doctor, Sarah and Harry prepare to leave. |
| 145 |
00:23:51,312 |
00:23:55,292 |
00:03.98 |
Erak and Krans step back to the edge of the circle. |
| 146 |
00:24:03,952 |
00:24:06,242 |
00:02.29 |
The three dissapear … |
| 147 |
00:24:08,912 |
00:24:10,912 |
00:02 |
… and he's gone. |
| 148 |
