Doctor Who: The Movie Page #4

---

Don't panic!

Everything is under control... OOF!

I'll seal the exits!

DOCTOR!

Here we go again!

- Do you know what'll happen to me?

- You don't want to know!

- You CAN'T not tell!

- Grace!

God! Brian's gonna move in again!

- I can't say.

- Please!

It's useless to meddle with the

universe, unless you're a Time Lord.

All right.

So, just give me a few pointers!

- There she is!

- A police box?

Key!

- I leave a spare in...

- ..a compartment above the door!

Up you go!

It's in a cubby hole above the P.

Got it! Why a police box?

Its cloaking device got stuck.

I like it like this.

(SIREN)

Doctor...

Oh, my!

(BELL TOLLS)

You hear that?

Yes.

That's a warning.

The TARDIS is dying.

This is AMAZING!

We don't have enough power

to move next door.

The beryllium chip, Grace.

- Careful.

- Yes, Doctor.

This looks pretty low-tech.

Low-tech?! This is a Type 40 TARDIS,

able to take you to any planet

at any date

in that planet's existence!

Temporal physics.

Oh, that would explain

the spatial displacement

we experienced as we came in.

Yes, if you like.

Yes!

There! The Eye is closing.

Now...let's see.

- Come on! Oh, no.

- What?

We may be too late.

- We still have 11 minutes!

- There's no context.

- What are you doing?

- Finding one minute past midnight.

If it's true, the Eye's been open

too long and there's no future!

Is this reliable?!

- Closing the Eye won't help.

- Why didn't you know that?

I haven't opened the Eye before!

NOW you tell me!

We have to go back to before the Eye

was opened, before we arrived.

- This IS a time machine!

- With NO power!

- Opening the Eye has drained it.

- Great (!)

- You MUST have power!

- Not enough!

What about the predictions

about me, about Gareth?

They must come from somewhere!

Wait...wait, wait, wait!

Are you any good

at setting alarm clocks?

No.

- I'll try.

- Listen very carefully.

We pre-set the co-ordinates as

I divert power from the Eye to here.

- Jump-start the TARDIS?

- Jump-start the TARDIS!

Hit the top switch

on the console. The top one.

Good, now pass me the neutron ram.

Grace?

The neutron ram?

I'll show you.

Oh, no... Oh, not you, Grace.

This is no time to play

Doctors and Nurses!

No good talking to her.

She's possessed.

You! You took my things.

Where are they?

They're not YOUR things any more.

Soon, everything here will belong

to the Master again.

Again? What's he been telling you?

When he gets his body,

I'm gonna be rich!

- And you BELIEVE him?

- Why shouldn't I?

There won't be anywhere left

to SPEND it!

- So we have no time to waste.

- But time to change!

I always...DRESS for the occasion.

Glad you appreciate

the gravity of the situation.

I never liked this planet.

Well, any minute, it'll cease

to exist! What's the time?

Time enough for me to get my body,

get away and take Lee with me.

Lee is the son

I have always yearned for.

Please (!)

Grace...put it on him.

I suspect you know how.

Lee, this is MY TARDIS,

MY Eye and my OWN body!

The Master has run out of lives!

That's the truth.

Look at Grace! She is possessed

by EVIL, not goodness!

(MASTER COUGHS)

This won't hurt...much.

I didn't think I'd make it!

My life's work!

Ohmmmm...

Ohmmm...

In 700 years, no-one has opened

the Eye. How did you do it?

Simple. Lee is human. You are only

half. Lee, open the Eye, please.

Ladies and gentlemen,

in three minutes,

the world enters a new millennium

and a new standard of accuracy

will come to how we measure TIME!

(APPLAUSE DROWNS DIALOGUE)

What do you mean, it won't start?

- Lee, this is your last chance!

- It's my ONLY chance!

There is nothing for him here,

no family, no gang, only death.

With me, he'll see the universe.

It's his last chance to stay alive!

- What do you know of last chances?

- More than YOU!

I've wasted all my lives

because of YOU, Doctor!

Now I'll be rid of you.

ALL your lives?

Didn't you say I'd stolen them?

Lee, he lied!

He's used all his lives,

so he wants mine! Like I told you,

this is MY TARDIS, MY body!

Don't believe him. Open the Eye.

He said it himself, Lee.

He's wasted ALL of his lives!

- OPEN THE EYE!

- NO!

You LIED to me!

Lee...

Lee...

..I would never lie to you.

I would only protect you.

NO-O-O!

How will you open the Eye now?

Grace, come here.

In her present state, that won't work.

Her eyes aren't human!

Watch!

See...now they're human.

No, Grace! CLOSE YOUR EYES!

Too late!

I'M BLIND!

Your sight will return!

What's happening?

He can't move while the Eye

links us! Remember, Grace!

- Re-route the power!

- Console room, GO!

You'll die if I leave you!

We'll ALL die if you don't! RUN!

Run, Grace!

(MASTER) I'm taking your lives!

RUN!

I can hear your thoughts, Doctor!

I can feel your memories!

This cannot be how it ends!

Stop this!

Please...

STOP!

God, please!

What have I done?!

I thought surgery was difficult!

Routing the power!

I'm alive!

- 7...

- I'm re-routing the power. OW!

- 6...

- I'm alive! I'M ALIVE!

- Time's up.

- Three!

I AM ALIVE!

ONE!

(WHOOSHING)

(DOCTOR) ..before we arrived.

Alarm clock, alarm clock!

Think alarm clock!

Temporal orbit?

What's a temporal orbit?!

She did it. Your life force

is dying, Master.

NO-O-O-O!

We're in temporal orbit!

What is it?!

What IS that?

GRACE! NO-O-O!

Grace!

You are my life!

You want domain over the living,

yet all you do is kill!

Life is wasted on the living!

Give me your hand.

Never!

DOCTOR!

Doctor...I have your things.

Hello, Grace.

Well, how does it feel...

to hold back death?

Incredible! Did you see that? What

a sentimental thing this TARDIS is!

Congratulations. You've both been

somewhere I've never been.

(GRACE) It's nothing to be scared of.

Did we go back far enough?

That, or you're ghosts.

I don't believe in ghosts.

(WHOOSHING)

So...er...where's the Master?

(TARDIS RUMBLES)

Indigestion.

So, let's see where we are.

There. The future.

Look on the other side

of your galaxy. That's home.

(GRACE) Gallifrey!

(DOCTOR) 250 million light years away.

That's a good ten minutes

in this old thing!

So, where are we?

December 29th.

Do you want to get off here?

I couldn't live through that again.

I WOULDN'T live through that again!

(SHUDDER)

THAT'S NOT FUNNY!

(COUNTDOWN FROM TEN)

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year.

Can you believe it? 2000!

(WHOOSHING)

(HORNS BLARE, FIREWORKS EXPLODE)

Now, THAT'S as it should be!

Your things.

My sonic screwdriver! Thank you!

And...these, too.

Please, keep them.

- Really?!

- Yes, really.

I'll go before you change your mind!

Lee...

next Christmas, take a vacation.

Just don't be here.

Right! Thanks.

Thanks, Doctor.

See you around, Grace.

Happy New Year!

- Interfering again!

- Grace...

- Don't tell me.

- Why not?

I know who I am, and that's enough.

I'm glad!

Come with me.

You come with me.

- ME come with you?

- Yes!

Me come with you?

It's tempting.

I'm going to miss you.
