Doctor Who (2005–…): Season 13, Episode 1 - Episode #13.1 - full transcript
THE DOCTOR: Listen to me,
Karvanista.
If you think you have won
this little skirmish,
you are very much mistaken.
Do not imagine for a second
that you have got the better of us.
Right, Yaz?
Oh, yeah.
We are totally in command.
Is that right?
Cos from where I'm hovering,
you seem to be handcuffed
and footlocked to a gravity bar,
which in 79 seconds
will release you
into the boiling acid ocean
directly below, where your bodies
will instantly disintegrate.
Even if you survive that -
which you won't -
in four minutes' time,
the entire planet will be engulfed
by a nearby giant red star.
Oh, and if you try and escape, my
Kill Disks will blast you to
pieces.
WHIRRING
Meanwhile, I am now far away,
travelling towards
what will in future be known
as the final hours
of planet Earth.
BOTH: What?!
Don't worry.
You'll be long dead.
Oh!
BEEPING
I must admit, Yaz,
I can't help feeling that
some of this is my fault.
Some?
All of this is your fault!
What d'you mean?!
Accidentally blowing up
Karvanista's droid guards
when we were trying to sneak into
his operations base unnoticed?
It's very temperamental, Nitro-9.
Suggesting we escape his base
by air-surfing on this gravbar?
How was I to know that force shield
would reboot
at the exact moment
we were heading towards it?
And when we got captured,
you had to mention the two
sets of cuffs in your pocket!
BEEPING
Two words, Yaz,
Trapezium Seven.
OK.
Trapezium Seven!
That high-gravity circus workshop!
Who were the top two in the class?
Ready? No!
Me neither. I love being not ready.
Three, two, one.
Alley-oop!
THEY GASP
Got it!
DISKS FIRE
Time to go!
THEY SCREAM
How do we get these cuffs off?
Very easily because, Yasmin Khan,
they're voice-activated!
That's why I told him
they were in my pocket!
Release.
Release! Release!
THEY YELL
Release!
Oh, maybe I was Scottish
when I set them up.
SCOTTISH ACCENT: Release!
YELLS: Release!
Doctor!
THEY SHOUT
Doctor! The gravbar's breaking!
That's inconvenie...
THEY YELL
Release!
Release. Release!
Maybe it's my tone of voice.
It's there!
Call it!
Now!
THEY YELL
What a relief.
Right! No-one gets away with
doing that to us, Yaz.
What was it he said?
Final few hours of planet Earth?
He doesn't get rid of us
that easily.
Not enough.
It's not enough.
We need more workers.
Returned soldiers, the poor -
they must all be brought here
and put to work.
HE SIGHS
Still far to go.
Of course, sir.
May I also remind you
Mr Stonehouse is due shortly?
Williamson, for the love of God,
what are you doing here?
Why all this digging?
I provide work and wages for those
who would not otherwise find it.
Is that not enough?
Of course, it is laudable.
But do you not think about
what you are creating?
I think very deeply about it.
More deeply than you can
possibly know.
Then why can I see
no rational plan at work here?
The designs are eccentric.
The work is random.
And, as for the tunnels being
excavated, they are without purpose.
Without purpose?!
If I were to speak to you
about their true purpose,
your mind would buckle
under the pressure.
With respect, sir...
..of the two of us,
my mind is clearly
the more robust and rational.
Do you imagine what lies ahead
can be defeated with rationale?
And pray, Mr Williamson...
..what do you imagine
to lie ahead of us?
The cataclysmic.
The impossible.
Doesn't matter
where you go in the world,
it could be the greatest museums
in the biggest cities -
none of them have got
what we've got right here.
Nobody has got a top floor
like the Museum of Liverpool
cos nobody has got our history.
Over there, we've got the writers.
Over there, the musicians.
And over there, the footballers.
These are massive.
They're the pinnacle of
this building and this city.
These define us.
These make Liverpool.
Dan! Dan!
That's enough from me now.
I'll let you have a look around
on your own.
All right, Di?
How many times?
Dan, you've got to stop.
You don't work here.
You're not a guide.
Stop pretending to be official.
I am official! Official Scouse.
Just think of me as a free exhibit,
just a little bit livelier
than the others.
Lad, you've got a trade - do that.
I know, but I'm good at this.
And I'm only chatting.
I make your punters happy.
What's the point of being alive
if it's not to make others happy?
Alan says, if you do it again,
he'll ban you permanently.
What if we say just mornings? No!
So...we still on for
Halloween drinks tonight?
Yeah, yeah. Unless you've changed
your mind. No!
No, I haven't.
No, good, me neither.
Eight o'clock,
the corner of Lark Lane?
It's a date! Yeah!
Not a date date, I'm not presuming,
yeah? No. Yeah.
Yeah, OK.
I've got to go.
And don't keep me waiting, you,
the late Dan Lewis!
Not tonight!
SHE LAUGHS
Go on!
That's the fourth time. I know.
This is the simplest trajectory.
Earth! We should be there already.
What's wrong with you?
Psychic connection reactivating,
Doctor.
Who's that?
How am I seeing this?
Sssh.
Just watch.
RASPY BREATHING
BEEP
Still alive, after all this time.
How long has it been here?
Imprisoned since the dawn of the
universe, that's what I was told.
People embellish, though.
Our job is to ensure
all incarceration systems
are still functional
and get the hell out.
Evaluation report on prisoner Swarm.
Confinement location -
remnants of the Burnished Rage
battleground.
Incarceration systems remain active.
Approaching prisoner
for distanced live check.
Do not engage with the prisoner
in conversation.
Do not do anything that it asks,
no matter what it asks,
or how persuasive it seems.
I mean, obviously. I have
done my psych-resistance training.
Containment chamber active.
Physical securings still in place.
Stratospheric impoundment systems
operative.
Prisoner remains secure.
Your last tour, En Sentac.
How does it know that?
How many times across the millennia
have you stared at me in silence?
Now you're handing over your task...
..to a child.
The kid'll do fine.
You're as confined
as you always have been
and always will be.
Wrong.
RASPY LAUGH
Containment chamber malfunction.
Boss? Feeling paralysed?
Proof that your life's work
has ended...
..in failure.
Your reward for admirable service
to Division.
HE YELLS
Aaaah!
Renewed at last!
What've you done?
I waited.
I planned.
And now I'm going to execute.
That won't work, child.
Your time is over.
As mine...
..has begun once more.
Huh!
Trick or treat, Doctor?
YAZ: Doctor!
Doctor!
Have you seen this?
It's like the TARDIS is...leaking.
SONIC SCREWDRIVER WHIRS
Do you know what it is?
Nothing to worry about. It's fine.
I'm fine, TARDIS is fine.
We're all fine.
We'll be on Earth any moment.
Right, dateline. October 31st.
Halloween! Trick or treat!
Here, that'll see you right
for a bit. Thanks. Oh, and hang on.
Take a couple of them for tonight,
as long as you promise
not to haunt me.
THEY LAUGH
Look after yourselves, ta-ra.
Come on.
Here.
Will I make up a box for you?
No, I'm sound, thanks.
Well, at least take some soup. Mmm?
Wilma, who likes soup, really?
Don't be proud, Daniel, come on.
There's plenty of people
who need soup a lot more than me.
And, anyway, my numbers
are coming up on Wednesday.
You don't even play the lottery.
I know, that's how lucky I am!
WHIRRING
Wait.
Did you see that?
What?
There's something out there.
You've been on the sherry early
tonight. Come on, let's lock up.
WHIRRING
KNOCK AT DOOR
Trick or treat!
Oh-ho! You scared me there.
Here. You can have the last ones.
You look great.
Go on, go safe now!
Na-night.
KNOCK AT DOOR
All right, la?
Trick or treat?
No.
You what?
How old are you?
What's the difference?
You're not even dressed up.
Yeah, well, neither are you.
You're just going round,
knocking on people's doors!
I heard you had sweets.
Go on! Get off with yiz!
Don't be throwing eggs at my house.
HE SIGHS
Take the soup, will you?
Yes - gaze upon my might!
What is it with you lot tonight?
Kneel before the might
of the Lupari!
You're paying for that door,
you know?
Be silent!
Or face execution
at the hands of Karvanista,
Vanquisher of
the Thousand Civilisations.
Submit or die.
Well, you've definitely
put the effort in.
You will not resist.
You will do exactly as I command.
I don't think I will.
I said, you will not resist!
You will do exactly as I command!
And I said,
get back out through that door
or I'm getting the bizzies.
BEEP
Why's that not working?
What's the matter with you?
What's the matter with me?!
I'm not the one going round
smashing into people's houses
dressed as a dog.
What did you just call me?
I mean, it's good, like. It's...
..cute.
It looks dead soft.
Is it real fur?
You defile the sacred legacy
of my forebears!
You don't look anything like
four bears. Go on, shoo!
Get back to your mam, tell her
what a brave lad you've been.
Never talk of my mother.
METALLIC THRUMMING
Liverpool.
Anfield!
Klopp era! Classic.
Ooh, Yaz, maybe we could take in
a game.
I've seen the Barcelona match
nine times.
I was a ball boy for Trent, once.
Hmm.
Number 37.
Non-terrestrial
weapon dispersal traces.
KNOCKS ON DOOR
And a door that's left open.
Anyone home?
I'm guessing single bloke,
definitely a Red.
Someone's made a right mess in here.
SONIC WHIRS
Ugh. Stun cube.
Lupari tech - Karvanista was here.
Looks like he took whoever lived
here. Why would he do that?
Daniel Lewis. This could be him.
So where is he now?
Ah. Quick check of planetary orbit.
Nice laptop, Dan.
Right.
There! 7.2 minutes ago,
Karvanista's ship,
leaving Earth,
shielded against detection.
We're just behind him.
So where's he going?
Why am I getting multiple traces?
Hang on while I zoom out.
Seven billion Lupari ships
coming this way?
That's an invasion fleet, right?
It looks like it.
Karvanista's species,
all heading here.
Why was he ahead of them?
And why did take the bloke
that lives here?
Also one other thing
that's bugging me, tiny detail -
why does Dan have
such a flashy computer?
BOTH: Because it's not his!
Aah! Get out!
CRUMPLING
Whoops.
TOILET FLUSHES
BOTH: Sorry!
Hey, what've you done with
the chillies?
Have you tried the fridge?
Why would they be in the fridge?
Well, sometimes you put them
in the fridge. I do not!
OPENS FRIDGE
They're in the fridge.
Amazing.
SHE LAUGHS
BEEPING
What do we do?
I don't know.
Can we ignore it?
They promised this would never
happen.
Except in the gravest of
emergencies.
We didn't receive the warning.
Come on.
Let's eat.
METAL SCRAPES
A dog shot me!
How can a dog shoot me?
Ow!
The bars on that holding pen
are electrified.
What am I doing in here?
Hang on - holding pen?
I'm not an animal!
No. Animals know when to be silent.
You wait till I get out of here.
Why, what are you gonna do?
I'm gonna report you. To who?
I'm gonna report you for
kidnapping, what d'you think of
that?
Well, that's what's happening,
so...
BLOWS
..fine. What?
You're mine.
And I'm taking you off-world.
What do you mean, off-world?
That's space.
And they say
you're a low IQ species.
Well done.
We're travelling away
from your planet, through space,
on my spaceship.
Aww. Look at your little brain,
trying to work it all out.
Embarrassing.
Why, though?
Why are you doing this?
What's so special about me?
Nothing.
There's nothing special about you.
You're insignificant,
irrelevant and utterly meaningless.
You've gone to a lot of trouble
to kidnap someone
who's completely irrelevant.
Maybe I should just kill you, yeah?
I could, right here.
Yeah, but you haven't, though,
have you?
No. You're not going to kill me. You
could've done that in my kitchen.
If you've gone to all this trouble
to kidnap me,
killing me wouldn't make sense.
I'm done talking to you.
I'm right, though, aren't I?
Go on!
Off you go.
Hang on! Come back!
Where are we actually going?
Compressor blast -
tripped by the sonic.
He's deliberately leaving traps
in case he's followed.
Clever AND dangerous,
our Karvanista.
So why are you obsessed
with following him?
I don't know what
you're talking about.
"I need to see a man about a dog,"
that's all you said.
But it turns out the man IS a dog,
and he's called Karvanista
and you won't tell me
why you are so interested in him!
Oh, my God! Doctor!
Who's that? I have no idea.
I didn't expect to see you here -
not tonight.
Hi. Really sorry, we're in the
middle of something quite important.
Have we met? Not yet, but we will.
In the past - I think - if it's
true.
I'm Claire.
If what's true, Claire?
You don't seem too sure
about your past.
Oh, God, look at your faces.
I know I sound like a loon.
Don't let me distract you.
I didn't even know you'd be here.
I was just...
..taking the long way home...
..cos it's Halloween.
SONIC WHIRS
Lupari fleet is getting closer.
We don't have any more time.
Come on, Yaz.
It's OK.
We'll see each other again.
Look after yourself.
Whoa. That's not right.
The door's moved. Yeah.
That's never happened before.
No.
You've got to go home now, Claire.
Right, let's get a lock
on Karvanista. Co-pilot?
Course. Sending Karvanista's
Craft ID.
Cross-referencing with
spatial-temporal locations.
I'll restrict to this solar system
and time zone for exact trajectory.
Yeah. I'll jam his radar
and find a sweet spot on his ship
for us to land unnoticed.
Ah.
Final adjustment? Final adjustment.
METALLIC THRUMMING
Right.
What are you doing? Checking
all systems for malfunctions.
Also, quick MOT check on my mind,
had a little glitch earlier.
What sort of glitch?
You didn't mention it.
You know what, Yaz?
I don't mention everything.
No kidding. Are you being mardy?
What sort of glitch? A glitchy
glitch! What does it matter?
Because I thought we were friends.
We are friends!
Then why won't you let me in?
What's going on with you?
Nothing is going on with me.
Don't lie.
Have we not had a good time
together?
Since Ryan and Graham left,
have I not taken you to
amazing places? Of course, but...
I thought I was showing you
experiences of a lifetime.
You're hiding something - about him.
About why you tracked him down
in the first place.
Tell me.
CRASH
What was that?
Temporal residue surrounding
Karvanista's ship.
Is it us or him? Him. Very much him.
It's like his ship's covered in it.
That shouldn't be happening.
We're pushing through it to land.
Nothing's as it should be, Yaz.
Too much out of the ordinary
tonight.
Mustn't blink.
If you blink, it'll move.
Don't blink.
SHE GASPS
SHE WHIMPERS
SHE GASPS
Don't blink...
DOOR CREAKS
The universe is looking
particularly beautiful today.
Observation Officer Vinder
reporting, as per assigned duty.
Status Report rotation number...
..21,754.
No activity. No change in status.
Summary...constant.
Everything remains as per
my previous 21,753 reports.
Nothing has changed.
Nothing ever changes,
but then you know that.
Additional comments -
my spirits remain high.
While there is
little or no activity...
..the sheer beauty of
what I can see is...
..unimaginable.
I am lucky to observe that
which few others will ever see.
For that, at least, I thank you.
In all other respects,
I conclude this report
with my usual sign-off request -
that you all go to hell.
ALERT
System?
Yes, commander.
Amplify Thoribus Section.
Of course. Amplifying.
What is that?
System, analyse, and focus
on the Thoribus Trifecta.
Analysing Thoribus Trifecta.
Unknown phenomena detected.
Analysing.
Anomalous property detected.
What in the name of the saints...?
Thoribus Minor destroyed.
Unknown phenomena approaching.
Outpost Rose is compromised.
Emergency status update -
urgent warning transmission!
HE GASPS
Jan?
Don't touch anything!
HE SCREAMS
SHE SCREAMS
Why is this thought in my mind?
What thought?
Thank you.
My sister.
How I have missed you.
METALLIC THRUMMING
So we think this Dan bloke
is somewhere on board?
Yeah. Now, just going to take out
his security systems
before we get spotted
and lay another hack.
Here, hold this.
Where is it?
TOY SQUEAKS
Ah!
Leftover hopper virus particles
should do the trick.
Right. You find Dan and I'll
confront Karvanista. Meet back here.
Confront him? D'you not remember
how that ended up last time?
Yeah! We got away. Doctor!
The prisoner hold's down that way.
If you hear gunfire or explosions,
get back sharpish.
Synchronise watches.
Forget that, I'm not wearing
a watch. Any questions?
No? See you soon.
"Does that make sense to you, Yaz?"
Not really, Doctor, no.
Karvanista to Lupari command -
unknown temporal propulsion
has been corrected.
Now activating strategic formation
realignment to re-join battalion.
Also sharing mission intel
of Earth festival Halloween,
which may affect
some operational deployments.
I've got a bone to pick with you.
Oh, come on!
How many traps do I have to leave
to get rid of you?
More than you have done so far.
I don't have time for you right now.
You're going to make time.
POWERING DOWN
Did you just shut my ship down?
Yes, I did.
And now your weapon as well.
Cos I've tracked you down
across half the universe,
and you are going to stand there
while I tell you two things.
Number one,
the Lupari Invasion of Earth is off.
What are you talking about?
I couldn't be clearer.
You tell the rest of your people
to stay away from Earth.
It is protected.
It's protected...
Protected by me,
to be clear.
Number two -
you're going to tell me everything
you know about the Division.
Dan Lewis, right?
Ow!
Might be. Who are you?
Rescue party.
Keep quiet and stay still.
It looks like this holding pen
has...
..nine different booby traps.
How do you know that?
I've had a lot of experience
of getting out of places like this.
Bear with me.
Where've you come from?
Why, fussy about
who you get rescued by?
How do I know I can trust you?
You might be with the dog fella.
Does this look like
a face you can trust? Maybe.
Maybe?
Are you an alien, too?
I'm Yaz. Yasmin Khan.
Formerly PC Yasmin Khan
of Hallamshire Police.
Very human, very much
not with the dog fella.
Hallamshire. What, like Sheffield?!
Why, what's the matter
with Sheffield? Too near Leeds.
Pro tip, Dan Lewis -
don't diss the designated rescuer.
How are you here
if you're from Sheffield?
Got a mate who's an alien.
Does he look like a dog?
No. But she's got her own ship
and we can get you back to Earth.
You can come out.
And the bars won't zap me?
Not if I've done it properly,
which I'm pretty sure I have.
How sure? Well, y'know,
life's a gamble.
LAUGHS
Nice work, girl.
Yaz is fine.
And I don't want to hear
another word
against Yorkshire again.
Come on. We're meeting the Doctor
back at our ship,
assuming nothing goes wrong.
Why, do things often go wrong?
Come on!
Stop asking about the Division.
That's not a question I can answer.
Yes, you can.
You have to.
I've spent a long time
hunting you down.
You are the only known Division
operative I can find alive.
The only one who can...
Right, sorry, park that.
What is that call sign?
Why is it bothering me so much?
Species recall. Universal pattern.
That's it. Thank you!
No, what? Wait. You're on
Species Recall? Right now?
The Lupari are species-bonded
to humanity.
For every human, there's
a paired guardian Lupar.
The bond is our genetic obligation,
and our honour,
only ever to come into effect
in the ultimate crisis.
But that would mean
you're not abducting Dan, then.
I'm saving him, you idiot!
Every Lupar has a designated human.
He's mine! We have to save them
before it's too late.
But you used a stun cube on him!
Just because we have to save them
doesn't mean I have to like him!
They're infuriating.
Seven billion ships.
Seven billion humans.
Man's best friend.
Not if you don't power up my ship!
But what is it
you're saving them from?
You don't know?
I've been busy. The Flux.
What's the Flux?
A hurricane, ripping through
the structure of this universe,
disrupting every particle.
The falling of the structure
of the universe.
A cataclysm of unknown proportions
or patterns. We...
We don't know for sure.
And when is this Flux due to happen?
It's already begun.
VINDER: Update from
Thoribus Trifecta.
Three planets now compromised.
Wait, no, I don't mean compromised.
I mean destroyed. Disintegrated.
Er...but not by weapons.
Like they were folding in
on themselves
because of proximity to...
I don't know what.
System?
Catastrophic event
compromising base-level integrity
of all structures.
You mean something
is erasing this galaxy?
Warning. Urgent update.
Observation Outpost Rose
will be compromised.
Evacuation procedures
urgently recommended.
You hear that system advice?
This is Serving Commander Inston-Vee
Vinder of Kasto-Winfer-Foxfell,
doing the unthinkable
and leaving his post.
Escape procedures activated.
Survival pod ejection imminent.
Data, I need data.
What causes this Flux
and where does it start?
I don't know,
I don't have a guidebook to it!
The other side of the universe
or somewhere. Now unblock
my ship's systems! I need to
re-align with my battalion.
Fine. Doing it.
But I'm keeping your weapons
powered down.
It doesn't make any sense.
You're moving away from Earth
while the rest are travelling
towards it.
My ship hit a time disturbance
at the head of the battalion.
It meant I got to Earth a few hours
ahead of the others.
And your battalion aim to
transport humanity off Earth
before the Flux hits.
That's what species bond means -
to protect when called upon.
And how will this ship
survive the Flux?
Our Survival Battalion
was engineered and built
to weather whatever the Flux
can throw at us.
Once the humans are on board,
the individual ships unite
to form a long-term
survival structure. Clever.
Except has anyone asked humanity
about this?
Cos I think they're gonna
have an opinion!
We don't need to ask them!
We're protecting them!
Yeah, well, we don't
want your protection!
We were supposed to be
sneaking in quietly. Sorry.
Did you release him? Yeah, I did.
And that's payback
for dangling me over boiling acid!
Oh!
All systems back online,
including weapons.
Right. Plan modifications,
two stages.
One, this is not over, between me
and you. We are not done. Two - run!
Dan, Doctor, Doctor, Dan!
All right, Doc?
Nice to meet you, Dan!
Run for your life!
Give me back my human!
That's my human!
I'm not your human!
You said it was a ship!
That's not a ship!
It is! Get in! Why have you put
the door in the floor?!
Bit of a daft place to have a door,
isn't it?
Seem to have a surplus of doors
right now, I'm not sure why.
Is all this inside that box?
It's bigger on the inside.
I can see that.
It's called a TARDIS.
I had a mate who had one of these.
I think his was a bit bigger,
actually. Shut up.
By the way, here's your house.
What? How did that happen?
Karvanista set a trap up for us,
which miniaturised it.
I can't live in that!
Right now you don't have a house.
Very soon, you may not have a planet
and there may not be a universe.
Is she joking?
Are you joking?
Not joking. I'm trying to locate
an event called the Flux.
Karvanista seems to think it will
overwhelm most of the universe.
And you're looking for it?
We are.
Why don't I know about this?
And who else does?
Finally!
Psychic Surveyor Kragar,
concluding assessment, Commander.
It has been a long time,
old comrade.
You look old.
My mission has...withered me,
it is true.
Really, you look disgusting.
Yes. Well, no point dwelling on it.
Really disgusting.
Continue.
I have analysed the psychic waves
and it is my privilege to report
the cataclysm approaches.
The Flux is imminent.
I forecast incredible suffering.
Vast bloodshed.
A conflict that will dwarf
all that has come before.
The greatest of times are upon us!
We must be ready to take advantage.
My old friend,
I find myself...
..excited.
Yes...
THEY LAUGH
Why have you brought us here?
Multiple readings? It's one event!
I said, "Trace one event"!
In all of time and space,
you bring us here. Why?
Who's she talking to?
The TARDIS.
What...is it alive?
No idea, but they do chat.
It's brought us to the edge
of your solar system.
Doesn't make any sense.
There's nothing here.
Whoa. When you say nothing...
Yeah.
Nothing here,
except an amazing view.
How can we breathe?
Protective air bubble.
I'll take your word for it.
BELL CHIMES
What is it? The Cloister Bell.
CLOISTER BELL CHIMES
It's a warning.
Of what?
The TARDIS is worried.
What's that?
The Flux.
This is what the Lupari have seen.
What they were trying to protect
humanity from.
What's it doing?
Disobeying every law of time
and space.
Disrupting every particle
it comes into contact with.
GASPS
Doctor, what's the matter?
CLOISTER BELL CHIMING
I can feel it all.
I can feel the universe breaking.
But you can stop it, right?
No.
Hello again, Doctor.
Who are you?
They were so efficient.
There is not a tiny corner of you
that remembers.
Remembers what?
You and I.
Dancing across space and time.
Locked in combat.
And now, after so long apart,
we get to do it once more.
I don't know you.
Yet I know you.
I remember every battle...
..which gives me the advantage.
Our final fight has begun.
GASPS
Doctor!
Are you all right?
Stop asking me that!
CLOISTER BELL CHIMING
Is it me, or does it look like
it's changing direction?
It's like it's coming for us!
Get inside!
TARDIS RUMBLES
Do not stall on me now.
Taking evasive action.
Sorry.
Sorry!
Really sorry!
SMASH
This is impossible.
The end of the universe
is chasing us.
So what are you doing?
The only thing I can do.
If the Flux is coming for us...
..then we're gonna head to Earth.
What! What?!
TARDIS calling Karvanista!
Bring me back my human, now!
DAN: I'm not your human!
I am trying to save your worthless
life! Listen to me.
We're approaching you fast
and the Flux is right behind us,
following us, as we head to Earth.
It can't be!
We don't have enough time
to get all the humans
on board the ships!
The battalion's
only on the edge of the planet!
We have to have time, Doctor.
My family are there!
Mine, too! And Di.
I'm late to meet Diane!
MYSTERIOUS VOICE: Diane.
Inside the house.
Come on in.
I said, "Come on in."
Stop walking, Di.
Stop walking now.
No...
No, no...no!
SPLASHING
LAUGHTER
We're going to have fun with you.
I've got a plan here. There's only
one chance to survive this.
Karvanista!
You said the battalion ships
were designed to fit together
to form a protective structure.
What about it? I'm sending you
a formation for the ships.
Get it communicated to them
instantly. You have to move fast!
What good will that do?
Just do it!
That shape, that formation.
Got to outrun this thing.
YELLS
We're being dragged
into the heart of the Flux.
Can the TARDIS withstand it?
I don't know! I don't understand it
and I hate not understanding!
Battalion positioned,
just as you ordered.
Lock them in to the pattern now!
This better work! You're telling me!
Interlocking.
BEEP
Lupari Battalion
now encasing Earth.
It worked! The pattern worked!
The battalion is shielding Earth!
Your ships better be as good as
you say they are, Karvanista!
What about you?
Get your ship
behind that Battalion wall!
Doing it now!
THEY YELL
Trouble, right?
I can't get us out of its pull.
We can't outrun it!
But we're safe in here.
We're sealed in.
Come on, Doctor. There must be
something you can do.
One last throw of the dice.
Get down!
Flux, meet Vortex energy.
See what that does to you!
Ah!
Not much, by the looks of things.
Attack!
The end of the universe.
I always wondered
what it would feel like.
Please tell me you're not about to
engage Sontarans in battle.
Mrs Seacole to you.
I accept your offer
of a massacre!
Karvanista.
If you think you have won
this little skirmish,
you are very much mistaken.
Do not imagine for a second
that you have got the better of us.
Right, Yaz?
Oh, yeah.
We are totally in command.
Is that right?
Cos from where I'm hovering,
you seem to be handcuffed
and footlocked to a gravity bar,
which in 79 seconds
will release you
into the boiling acid ocean
directly below, where your bodies
will instantly disintegrate.
Even if you survive that -
which you won't -
in four minutes' time,
the entire planet will be engulfed
by a nearby giant red star.
Oh, and if you try and escape, my
Kill Disks will blast you to
pieces.
WHIRRING
Meanwhile, I am now far away,
travelling towards
what will in future be known
as the final hours
of planet Earth.
BOTH: What?!
Don't worry.
You'll be long dead.
Oh!
BEEPING
I must admit, Yaz,
I can't help feeling that
some of this is my fault.
Some?
All of this is your fault!
What d'you mean?!
Accidentally blowing up
Karvanista's droid guards
when we were trying to sneak into
his operations base unnoticed?
It's very temperamental, Nitro-9.
Suggesting we escape his base
by air-surfing on this gravbar?
How was I to know that force shield
would reboot
at the exact moment
we were heading towards it?
And when we got captured,
you had to mention the two
sets of cuffs in your pocket!
BEEPING
Two words, Yaz,
Trapezium Seven.
OK.
Trapezium Seven!
That high-gravity circus workshop!
Who were the top two in the class?
Ready? No!
Me neither. I love being not ready.
Three, two, one.
Alley-oop!
THEY GASP
Got it!
DISKS FIRE
Time to go!
THEY SCREAM
How do we get these cuffs off?
Very easily because, Yasmin Khan,
they're voice-activated!
That's why I told him
they were in my pocket!
Release.
Release! Release!
THEY YELL
Release!
Oh, maybe I was Scottish
when I set them up.
SCOTTISH ACCENT: Release!
YELLS: Release!
Doctor!
THEY SHOUT
Doctor! The gravbar's breaking!
That's inconvenie...
THEY YELL
Release!
Release. Release!
Maybe it's my tone of voice.
It's there!
Call it!
Now!
THEY YELL
What a relief.
Right! No-one gets away with
doing that to us, Yaz.
What was it he said?
Final few hours of planet Earth?
He doesn't get rid of us
that easily.
Not enough.
It's not enough.
We need more workers.
Returned soldiers, the poor -
they must all be brought here
and put to work.
HE SIGHS
Still far to go.
Of course, sir.
May I also remind you
Mr Stonehouse is due shortly?
Williamson, for the love of God,
what are you doing here?
Why all this digging?
I provide work and wages for those
who would not otherwise find it.
Is that not enough?
Of course, it is laudable.
But do you not think about
what you are creating?
I think very deeply about it.
More deeply than you can
possibly know.
Then why can I see
no rational plan at work here?
The designs are eccentric.
The work is random.
And, as for the tunnels being
excavated, they are without purpose.
Without purpose?!
If I were to speak to you
about their true purpose,
your mind would buckle
under the pressure.
With respect, sir...
..of the two of us,
my mind is clearly
the more robust and rational.
Do you imagine what lies ahead
can be defeated with rationale?
And pray, Mr Williamson...
..what do you imagine
to lie ahead of us?
The cataclysmic.
The impossible.
Doesn't matter
where you go in the world,
it could be the greatest museums
in the biggest cities -
none of them have got
what we've got right here.
Nobody has got a top floor
like the Museum of Liverpool
cos nobody has got our history.
Over there, we've got the writers.
Over there, the musicians.
And over there, the footballers.
These are massive.
They're the pinnacle of
this building and this city.
These define us.
These make Liverpool.
Dan! Dan!
That's enough from me now.
I'll let you have a look around
on your own.
All right, Di?
How many times?
Dan, you've got to stop.
You don't work here.
You're not a guide.
Stop pretending to be official.
I am official! Official Scouse.
Just think of me as a free exhibit,
just a little bit livelier
than the others.
Lad, you've got a trade - do that.
I know, but I'm good at this.
And I'm only chatting.
I make your punters happy.
What's the point of being alive
if it's not to make others happy?
Alan says, if you do it again,
he'll ban you permanently.
What if we say just mornings? No!
So...we still on for
Halloween drinks tonight?
Yeah, yeah. Unless you've changed
your mind. No!
No, I haven't.
No, good, me neither.
Eight o'clock,
the corner of Lark Lane?
It's a date! Yeah!
Not a date date, I'm not presuming,
yeah? No. Yeah.
Yeah, OK.
I've got to go.
And don't keep me waiting, you,
the late Dan Lewis!
Not tonight!
SHE LAUGHS
Go on!
That's the fourth time. I know.
This is the simplest trajectory.
Earth! We should be there already.
What's wrong with you?
Psychic connection reactivating,
Doctor.
Who's that?
How am I seeing this?
Sssh.
Just watch.
RASPY BREATHING
BEEP
Still alive, after all this time.
How long has it been here?
Imprisoned since the dawn of the
universe, that's what I was told.
People embellish, though.
Our job is to ensure
all incarceration systems
are still functional
and get the hell out.
Evaluation report on prisoner Swarm.
Confinement location -
remnants of the Burnished Rage
battleground.
Incarceration systems remain active.
Approaching prisoner
for distanced live check.
Do not engage with the prisoner
in conversation.
Do not do anything that it asks,
no matter what it asks,
or how persuasive it seems.
I mean, obviously. I have
done my psych-resistance training.
Containment chamber active.
Physical securings still in place.
Stratospheric impoundment systems
operative.
Prisoner remains secure.
Your last tour, En Sentac.
How does it know that?
How many times across the millennia
have you stared at me in silence?
Now you're handing over your task...
..to a child.
The kid'll do fine.
You're as confined
as you always have been
and always will be.
Wrong.
RASPY LAUGH
Containment chamber malfunction.
Boss? Feeling paralysed?
Proof that your life's work
has ended...
..in failure.
Your reward for admirable service
to Division.
HE YELLS
Aaaah!
Renewed at last!
What've you done?
I waited.
I planned.
And now I'm going to execute.
That won't work, child.
Your time is over.
As mine...
..has begun once more.
Huh!
Trick or treat, Doctor?
YAZ: Doctor!
Doctor!
Have you seen this?
It's like the TARDIS is...leaking.
SONIC SCREWDRIVER WHIRS
Do you know what it is?
Nothing to worry about. It's fine.
I'm fine, TARDIS is fine.
We're all fine.
We'll be on Earth any moment.
Right, dateline. October 31st.
Halloween! Trick or treat!
Here, that'll see you right
for a bit. Thanks. Oh, and hang on.
Take a couple of them for tonight,
as long as you promise
not to haunt me.
THEY LAUGH
Look after yourselves, ta-ra.
Come on.
Here.
Will I make up a box for you?
No, I'm sound, thanks.
Well, at least take some soup. Mmm?
Wilma, who likes soup, really?
Don't be proud, Daniel, come on.
There's plenty of people
who need soup a lot more than me.
And, anyway, my numbers
are coming up on Wednesday.
You don't even play the lottery.
I know, that's how lucky I am!
WHIRRING
Wait.
Did you see that?
What?
There's something out there.
You've been on the sherry early
tonight. Come on, let's lock up.
WHIRRING
KNOCK AT DOOR
Trick or treat!
Oh-ho! You scared me there.
Here. You can have the last ones.
You look great.
Go on, go safe now!
Na-night.
KNOCK AT DOOR
All right, la?
Trick or treat?
No.
You what?
How old are you?
What's the difference?
You're not even dressed up.
Yeah, well, neither are you.
You're just going round,
knocking on people's doors!
I heard you had sweets.
Go on! Get off with yiz!
Don't be throwing eggs at my house.
HE SIGHS
Take the soup, will you?
Yes - gaze upon my might!
What is it with you lot tonight?
Kneel before the might
of the Lupari!
You're paying for that door,
you know?
Be silent!
Or face execution
at the hands of Karvanista,
Vanquisher of
the Thousand Civilisations.
Submit or die.
Well, you've definitely
put the effort in.
You will not resist.
You will do exactly as I command.
I don't think I will.
I said, you will not resist!
You will do exactly as I command!
And I said,
get back out through that door
or I'm getting the bizzies.
BEEP
Why's that not working?
What's the matter with you?
What's the matter with me?!
I'm not the one going round
smashing into people's houses
dressed as a dog.
What did you just call me?
I mean, it's good, like. It's...
..cute.
It looks dead soft.
Is it real fur?
You defile the sacred legacy
of my forebears!
You don't look anything like
four bears. Go on, shoo!
Get back to your mam, tell her
what a brave lad you've been.
Never talk of my mother.
METALLIC THRUMMING
Liverpool.
Anfield!
Klopp era! Classic.
Ooh, Yaz, maybe we could take in
a game.
I've seen the Barcelona match
nine times.
I was a ball boy for Trent, once.
Hmm.
Number 37.
Non-terrestrial
weapon dispersal traces.
KNOCKS ON DOOR
And a door that's left open.
Anyone home?
I'm guessing single bloke,
definitely a Red.
Someone's made a right mess in here.
SONIC WHIRS
Ugh. Stun cube.
Lupari tech - Karvanista was here.
Looks like he took whoever lived
here. Why would he do that?
Daniel Lewis. This could be him.
So where is he now?
Ah. Quick check of planetary orbit.
Nice laptop, Dan.
Right.
There! 7.2 minutes ago,
Karvanista's ship,
leaving Earth,
shielded against detection.
We're just behind him.
So where's he going?
Why am I getting multiple traces?
Hang on while I zoom out.
Seven billion Lupari ships
coming this way?
That's an invasion fleet, right?
It looks like it.
Karvanista's species,
all heading here.
Why was he ahead of them?
And why did take the bloke
that lives here?
Also one other thing
that's bugging me, tiny detail -
why does Dan have
such a flashy computer?
BOTH: Because it's not his!
Aah! Get out!
CRUMPLING
Whoops.
TOILET FLUSHES
BOTH: Sorry!
Hey, what've you done with
the chillies?
Have you tried the fridge?
Why would they be in the fridge?
Well, sometimes you put them
in the fridge. I do not!
OPENS FRIDGE
They're in the fridge.
Amazing.
SHE LAUGHS
BEEPING
What do we do?
I don't know.
Can we ignore it?
They promised this would never
happen.
Except in the gravest of
emergencies.
We didn't receive the warning.
Come on.
Let's eat.
METAL SCRAPES
A dog shot me!
How can a dog shoot me?
Ow!
The bars on that holding pen
are electrified.
What am I doing in here?
Hang on - holding pen?
I'm not an animal!
No. Animals know when to be silent.
You wait till I get out of here.
Why, what are you gonna do?
I'm gonna report you. To who?
I'm gonna report you for
kidnapping, what d'you think of
that?
Well, that's what's happening,
so...
BLOWS
..fine. What?
You're mine.
And I'm taking you off-world.
What do you mean, off-world?
That's space.
And they say
you're a low IQ species.
Well done.
We're travelling away
from your planet, through space,
on my spaceship.
Aww. Look at your little brain,
trying to work it all out.
Embarrassing.
Why, though?
Why are you doing this?
What's so special about me?
Nothing.
There's nothing special about you.
You're insignificant,
irrelevant and utterly meaningless.
You've gone to a lot of trouble
to kidnap someone
who's completely irrelevant.
Maybe I should just kill you, yeah?
I could, right here.
Yeah, but you haven't, though,
have you?
No. You're not going to kill me. You
could've done that in my kitchen.
If you've gone to all this trouble
to kidnap me,
killing me wouldn't make sense.
I'm done talking to you.
I'm right, though, aren't I?
Go on!
Off you go.
Hang on! Come back!
Where are we actually going?
Compressor blast -
tripped by the sonic.
He's deliberately leaving traps
in case he's followed.
Clever AND dangerous,
our Karvanista.
So why are you obsessed
with following him?
I don't know what
you're talking about.
"I need to see a man about a dog,"
that's all you said.
But it turns out the man IS a dog,
and he's called Karvanista
and you won't tell me
why you are so interested in him!
Oh, my God! Doctor!
Who's that? I have no idea.
I didn't expect to see you here -
not tonight.
Hi. Really sorry, we're in the
middle of something quite important.
Have we met? Not yet, but we will.
In the past - I think - if it's
true.
I'm Claire.
If what's true, Claire?
You don't seem too sure
about your past.
Oh, God, look at your faces.
I know I sound like a loon.
Don't let me distract you.
I didn't even know you'd be here.
I was just...
..taking the long way home...
..cos it's Halloween.
SONIC WHIRS
Lupari fleet is getting closer.
We don't have any more time.
Come on, Yaz.
It's OK.
We'll see each other again.
Look after yourself.
Whoa. That's not right.
The door's moved. Yeah.
That's never happened before.
No.
You've got to go home now, Claire.
Right, let's get a lock
on Karvanista. Co-pilot?
Course. Sending Karvanista's
Craft ID.
Cross-referencing with
spatial-temporal locations.
I'll restrict to this solar system
and time zone for exact trajectory.
Yeah. I'll jam his radar
and find a sweet spot on his ship
for us to land unnoticed.
Ah.
Final adjustment? Final adjustment.
METALLIC THRUMMING
Right.
What are you doing? Checking
all systems for malfunctions.
Also, quick MOT check on my mind,
had a little glitch earlier.
What sort of glitch?
You didn't mention it.
You know what, Yaz?
I don't mention everything.
No kidding. Are you being mardy?
What sort of glitch? A glitchy
glitch! What does it matter?
Because I thought we were friends.
We are friends!
Then why won't you let me in?
What's going on with you?
Nothing is going on with me.
Don't lie.
Have we not had a good time
together?
Since Ryan and Graham left,
have I not taken you to
amazing places? Of course, but...
I thought I was showing you
experiences of a lifetime.
You're hiding something - about him.
About why you tracked him down
in the first place.
Tell me.
CRASH
What was that?
Temporal residue surrounding
Karvanista's ship.
Is it us or him? Him. Very much him.
It's like his ship's covered in it.
That shouldn't be happening.
We're pushing through it to land.
Nothing's as it should be, Yaz.
Too much out of the ordinary
tonight.
Mustn't blink.
If you blink, it'll move.
Don't blink.
SHE GASPS
SHE WHIMPERS
SHE GASPS
Don't blink...
DOOR CREAKS
The universe is looking
particularly beautiful today.
Observation Officer Vinder
reporting, as per assigned duty.
Status Report rotation number...
..21,754.
No activity. No change in status.
Summary...constant.
Everything remains as per
my previous 21,753 reports.
Nothing has changed.
Nothing ever changes,
but then you know that.
Additional comments -
my spirits remain high.
While there is
little or no activity...
..the sheer beauty of
what I can see is...
..unimaginable.
I am lucky to observe that
which few others will ever see.
For that, at least, I thank you.
In all other respects,
I conclude this report
with my usual sign-off request -
that you all go to hell.
ALERT
System?
Yes, commander.
Amplify Thoribus Section.
Of course. Amplifying.
What is that?
System, analyse, and focus

Analysing Thoribus Trifecta.
Unknown phenomena detected.
Analysing.
Anomalous property detected.
What in the name of the saints...?
Thoribus Minor destroyed.
Unknown phenomena approaching.
Outpost Rose is compromised.
Emergency status update -
urgent warning transmission!
HE GASPS
Jan?
Don't touch anything!
HE SCREAMS
SHE SCREAMS
Why is this thought in my mind?
What thought?
Thank you.
My sister.
How I have missed you.
METALLIC THRUMMING
So we think this Dan bloke
is somewhere on board?
Yeah. Now, just going to take out
his security systems
before we get spotted
and lay another hack.
Here, hold this.
Where is it?
TOY SQUEAKS
Ah!
Leftover hopper virus particles
should do the trick.
Right. You find Dan and I'll
confront Karvanista. Meet back here.
Confront him? D'you not remember
how that ended up last time?
Yeah! We got away. Doctor!
The prisoner hold's down that way.
If you hear gunfire or explosions,
get back sharpish.
Synchronise watches.
Forget that, I'm not wearing
a watch. Any questions?
No? See you soon.
"Does that make sense to you, Yaz?"
Not really, Doctor, no.
Karvanista to Lupari command -
unknown temporal propulsion
has been corrected.
Now activating strategic formation
realignment to re-join battalion.
Also sharing mission intel
of Earth festival Halloween,
which may affect
some operational deployments.
I've got a bone to pick with you.
Oh, come on!
How many traps do I have to leave
to get rid of you?
More than you have done so far.
I don't have time for you right now.
You're going to make time.
POWERING DOWN
Did you just shut my ship down?
Yes, I did.
And now your weapon as well.
Cos I've tracked you down
across half the universe,
and you are going to stand there
while I tell you two things.
Number one,
the Lupari Invasion of Earth is off.
What are you talking about?
I couldn't be clearer.
You tell the rest of your people
to stay away from Earth.
It is protected.
It's protected...
Protected by me,
to be clear.
Number two -
you're going to tell me everything
you know about the Division.
Dan Lewis, right?
Ow!
Might be. Who are you?
Rescue party.
Keep quiet and stay still.
It looks like this holding pen
has...
..nine different booby traps.
How do you know that?
I've had a lot of experience
of getting out of places like this.
Bear with me.
Where've you come from?
Why, fussy about
who you get rescued by?
How do I know I can trust you?
You might be with the dog fella.
Does this look like
a face you can trust? Maybe.
Maybe?
Are you an alien, too?
I'm Yaz. Yasmin Khan.
Formerly PC Yasmin Khan
of Hallamshire Police.
Very human, very much
not with the dog fella.
Hallamshire. What, like Sheffield?!
Why, what's the matter
with Sheffield? Too near Leeds.
Pro tip, Dan Lewis -
don't diss the designated rescuer.
How are you here
if you're from Sheffield?
Got a mate who's an alien.
Does he look like a dog?
No. But she's got her own ship
and we can get you back to Earth.
You can come out.
And the bars won't zap me?
Not if I've done it properly,
which I'm pretty sure I have.
How sure? Well, y'know,
life's a gamble.
LAUGHS
Nice work, girl.
Yaz is fine.
And I don't want to hear
another word
against Yorkshire again.
Come on. We're meeting the Doctor
back at our ship,
assuming nothing goes wrong.
Why, do things often go wrong?
Come on!
Stop asking about the Division.
That's not a question I can answer.
Yes, you can.
You have to.
I've spent a long time
hunting you down.
You are the only known Division
operative I can find alive.
The only one who can...
Right, sorry, park that.
What is that call sign?
Why is it bothering me so much?
Species recall. Universal pattern.
That's it. Thank you!
No, what? Wait. You're on
Species Recall? Right now?
The Lupari are species-bonded
to humanity.
For every human, there's
a paired guardian Lupar.
The bond is our genetic obligation,
and our honour,
only ever to come into effect
in the ultimate crisis.
But that would mean
you're not abducting Dan, then.
I'm saving him, you idiot!
Every Lupar has a designated human.
He's mine! We have to save them
before it's too late.
But you used a stun cube on him!
Just because we have to save them
doesn't mean I have to like him!
They're infuriating.
Seven billion ships.
Seven billion humans.
Man's best friend.
Not if you don't power up my ship!
But what is it
you're saving them from?
You don't know?
I've been busy. The Flux.
What's the Flux?
A hurricane, ripping through
the structure of this universe,
disrupting every particle.
The falling of the structure
of the universe.
A cataclysm of unknown proportions
or patterns. We...
We don't know for sure.
And when is this Flux due to happen?
It's already begun.
VINDER: Update from
Thoribus Trifecta.
Three planets now compromised.
Wait, no, I don't mean compromised.
I mean destroyed. Disintegrated.
Er...but not by weapons.
Like they were folding in
on themselves
because of proximity to...
I don't know what.
System?
Catastrophic event
compromising base-level integrity
of all structures.
You mean something
is erasing this galaxy?
Warning. Urgent update.
Observation Outpost Rose

You hear that system advice?

Survival pod ejection imminent.
Data, I need data.
What causes this Flux
and where does it start?
I don't know,
I don't have a guidebook to it!
The other side of the universe
or somewhere. Now unblock
my ship's systems! I need to
re-align with my battalion.
Fine. Doing it.
But I'm keeping your weapons
powered down.
It doesn't make any sense.
You're moving away from Earth
while the rest are travelling
towards it.
My ship hit a time disturbance
at the head of the battalion.
It meant I got to Earth a few hours
ahead of the others.
And your battalion aim to
transport humanity off Earth
before the Flux hits.
That's what species bond means -
to protect when called upon.
And how will this ship
survive the Flux?
Our Survival Battalion
was engineered and built
to weather whatever the Flux
can throw at us.
Once the humans are on board,
the individual ships unite
to form a long-term
survival structure. Clever.
Except has anyone asked humanity
about this?
Cos I think they're gonna
have an opinion!
We don't need to ask them!
We're protecting them!
Yeah, well, we don't
want your protection!
We were supposed to be
sneaking in quietly. Sorry.
Did you release him? Yeah, I did.
And that's payback
for dangling me over boiling acid!
Oh!
All systems back online,
including weapons.
Right. Plan modifications,
two stages.
One, this is not over, between me
and you. We are not done. Two - run!
Dan, Doctor, Doctor, Dan!
All right, Doc?
Nice to meet you, Dan!
Run for your life!
Give me back my human!
That's my human!
I'm not your human!
You said it was a ship!
That's not a ship!
It is! Get in! Why have you put
the door in the floor?!
Bit of a daft place to have a door,
isn't it?
Seem to have a surplus of doors
right now, I'm not sure why.
Is all this inside that box?
It's bigger on the inside.
I can see that.
It's called a TARDIS.
I had a mate who had one of these.
I think his was a bit bigger,
actually. Shut up.
By the way, here's your house.
What? How did that happen?
Karvanista set a trap up for us,
which miniaturised it.
I can't live in that!
Right now you don't have a house.
Very soon, you may not have a planet
and there may not be a universe.
Is she joking?
Are you joking?
Not joking. I'm trying to locate
an event called the Flux.
Karvanista seems to think it will
overwhelm most of the universe.
And you're looking for it?
We are.
Why don't I know about this?
And who else does?
Finally!
Psychic Surveyor Kragar,
concluding assessment, Commander.
It has been a long time,
old comrade.
You look old.
My mission has...withered me,
it is true.
Really, you look disgusting.
Yes. Well, no point dwelling on it.
Really disgusting.
Continue.
I have analysed the psychic waves
and it is my privilege to report
the cataclysm approaches.
The Flux is imminent.
I forecast incredible suffering.
Vast bloodshed.
A conflict that will dwarf
all that has come before.
The greatest of times are upon us!
We must be ready to take advantage.
My old friend,
I find myself...
..excited.
Yes...
THEY LAUGH
Why have you brought us here?
Multiple readings? It's one event!
I said, "Trace one event"!
In all of time and space,
you bring us here. Why?
Who's she talking to?
The TARDIS.
What...is it alive?
No idea, but they do chat.
It's brought us to the edge
of your solar system.
Doesn't make any sense.
There's nothing here.
Whoa. When you say nothing...
Yeah.
Nothing here,
except an amazing view.
How can we breathe?
Protective air bubble.
I'll take your word for it.
BELL CHIMES
What is it? The Cloister Bell.
CLOISTER BELL CHIMES
It's a warning.
Of what?
The TARDIS is worried.
What's that?
The Flux.
This is what the Lupari have seen.
What they were trying to protect
humanity from.
What's it doing?
Disobeying every law of time
and space.
Disrupting every particle
it comes into contact with.
GASPS
Doctor, what's the matter?
CLOISTER BELL CHIMING
I can feel it all.
I can feel the universe breaking.
But you can stop it, right?
No.
Hello again, Doctor.
Who are you?
They were so efficient.
There is not a tiny corner of you
that remembers.
Remembers what?
You and I.
Dancing across space and time.
Locked in combat.
And now, after so long apart,
we get to do it once more.
I don't know you.
Yet I know you.
I remember every battle...
..which gives me the advantage.
Our final fight has begun.
GASPS
Doctor!
Are you all right?
Stop asking me that!
CLOISTER BELL CHIMING
Is it me, or does it look like
it's changing direction?
It's like it's coming for us!
Get inside!
TARDIS RUMBLES
Do not stall on me now.
Taking evasive action.
Sorry.
Sorry!
Really sorry!
SMASH
This is impossible.
The end of the universe
is chasing us.
So what are you doing?
The only thing I can do.
If the Flux is coming for us...
..then we're gonna head to Earth.
What! What?!
TARDIS calling Karvanista!
Bring me back my human, now!
DAN: I'm not your human!
I am trying to save your worthless
life! Listen to me.
We're approaching you fast
and the Flux is right behind us,
following us, as we head to Earth.
It can't be!
We don't have enough time
to get all the humans
on board the ships!
The battalion's
only on the edge of the planet!
We have to have time, Doctor.
My family are there!
Mine, too! And Di.
I'm late to meet Diane!
MYSTERIOUS VOICE: Diane.
Inside the house.
Come on in.
I said, "Come on in."
Stop walking, Di.
Stop walking now.
No...
No, no...no!
SPLASHING
LAUGHTER
We're going to have fun with you.
I've got a plan here. There's only
one chance to survive this.
Karvanista!
You said the battalion ships
were designed to fit together
to form a protective structure.
What about it? I'm sending you
a formation for the ships.
Get it communicated to them
instantly. You have to move fast!
What good will that do?
Just do it!
That shape, that formation.
Got to outrun this thing.
YELLS
We're being dragged
into the heart of the Flux.
Can the TARDIS withstand it?
I don't know! I don't understand it
and I hate not understanding!
Battalion positioned,
just as you ordered.
Lock them in to the pattern now!
This better work! You're telling me!
Interlocking.
BEEP
Lupari Battalion
now encasing Earth.
It worked! The pattern worked!
The battalion is shielding Earth!
Your ships better be as good as
you say they are, Karvanista!
What about you?
Get your ship
behind that Battalion wall!
Doing it now!
THEY YELL
Trouble, right?
I can't get us out of its pull.
We can't outrun it!
But we're safe in here.
We're sealed in.
Come on, Doctor. There must be
something you can do.
One last throw of the dice.
Get down!
Flux, meet Vortex energy.
See what that does to you!
Ah!
Not much, by the looks of things.
Attack!
The end of the universe.
I always wondered
what it would feel like.
Please tell me you're not about to
engage Sontarans in battle.
Mrs Seacole to you.
I accept your offer
of a massacre!
