[AS HE WALKS, A MAN CHOKES, SNIFFLES AND SPITS.] SOUND: A DOOR BEGINS TO SLOWLY CREAK OPEN. SOUND 2: PEOPLE SCREAMING AND SHOUTING INSANELY IN THE DISTANCE. DOCTOR: The legends of Gallifrey speak of a world... and the name of the world they speak of is Hell. ANNOUNCER: [ECHOING] "Minuet In Hell". By Alan W Lear. DOCTOR: [FRANTIC] No! You've got to listen to me! There's a big blue metal box standing on a wharf at Shoreditch! Take me to it, and I'll prove every word I say! Don't you understand? I'm a Timelord from the planet Gallifrey, and I... oh, what am I saying? CURDLE: Come along, lad. Back in your cell. I'll bring you some laudanum presently to help you rest. DOCTOR: [DESPERATE] Two hearts! I've got two hearts! Put your hands on my chest! You'll feel them beating! WILKES: Let *go* of me! CHANTERS: [CHANTING IN LATIN] LORD SANDWICH: [CHANTING IN LATIN] SOUND: HORSE DRAWN CARRIAGE LORD SANDWICH: We of the Hell Fire Club believe in serving the King by day, and Lucifer by night. [HE BREAKS INTO A RASPY LAUGH.] It's a most patriotic arrangement. [HE LAUGHS AGAIN.] OGOLIEN: [CHUCKLES POLITELY.] SOUND: ELECTRONIC WARNING ALARM DOCTOR: [DISTORTED] Ah! Ooh! My head! Ah! What's happening inside my head? RIA: [DISTORTED] Look! The scanner! DOCTOR: [DISTORTED] It's going to blow! SOUND: [OUT] NELLY: A page has turned for you now. You should thank your lucky stars Mother Fireship had the kindness to take you in, Ria. RIA: If only I could remember something about my past. It's all a blank except for my name. I think.... I think I was some sort of traveller. SHERWIN: [UNDER] There's bloom on the peach, but is it ripe? Let's try how it is to the touch! RIA: *Take your hands off me!* SHERWIN: [UNDER] Ooo! Ooo-hoo-hoo! Ow! Ooh-hoo! WERGLASH: [THROATY, PAINED] Please spare me from this torture! OGOLIEN: Quiet! Don't interrupt my moment of triumph! LORD SANDWICH: [ADDRESSING AN AUDIENCE] For many years we have assembled here at Medmenham to do homage to our infernal master: the Prince of Darkness, almighty Lucifer! In countless ceremonies, I, or Sir Francis, and his grace, the Earl of Orchford have entreated him to appear before us. We have praised him, and invoked him! Yet never has he chosen to rise from Hell at our request! Never! Until tonight! OGOLIEN: And now to taste the delights of human flesh.... GIDEON: No armour can prevail against the psychic bolts. As a weapon, they're irresistible. DOCTOR: I...I *am* the Doctor? You're sure? RIA: Yes! GIDEON: These *stories* you've been telling me: wild flights among the stars, monsters made of metal, a single bomb laying waste whole cities? *Nightmares* of a disordered brain, the lot of them. Man, you live in a make believe cosmos. DOCTOR: I live in reality! Good grief! I know what reality is! MURA: The government will be in your hands! OGOLIEN: And we... we will guide those hands as you exercise your new-won power. Confess it, my Lord, you know all this without our telling you. [THE DOCTOR AND OGOLIEN ARE IN SOME KIND OF STRUGGLE.] DOCTOR: Ah! Not so fast, Ogolien! No! Ah! OGOLIEN: [LAUGHS] It appears you have me at a disadvantage, Doctor. MURA: Oh my, but this extermination is tiring work. OGOLIEN: [GUT-WRENCHING SCREAM] LORD SANDWICH: I can scarce credit this! After so many years? *You* have brought the Devil himself to Medmenham? DOCTOR: *Please*! GIDEON: You're a madman, Doctor. Face the truth. DOCTOR: If I wasn't before, I suspect I soon will be. OGOLIEN: [INSISTENTLY] Watch my eyes. *Watch* my *eyes*.
