Doctor Who (2005–…): Season 13, Episode 6 - Episode #13.6 - full transcript
Ensure all missile systems are aimed
inwards at the planet's surface.
Earth shield is now breachable.
The forces of Sontar
have revenge to exact.
This chamber is the heart
of my excavation project.
I've got a plan to get
you out of here.
You are recalled to Division.
I'm Tecteun,
the woman you used to call mother.
DOCTOR WHO: You're generating the
final waves of the Flux from here.
Now I release you.
No, no, no, don't you touch her.
Now you.
Ood, with me.
She thinks running will help.
We're defenceless!
We are never defenceless.
Ood, quick, what would happen
if I rip off the conversion plate?
You will be pulled
back into the universe.
I have to get back to Earth.
Can you locate my TARDIS?
Doctor.
Departing so soon.
The neighbourhood went downhill.
And leaving this behind?
I thought we got rid of this lot.
LOUD BANGING
There's more. Follow me.
Did he not say some of these
doors had changed?
Now which one?
EXPLOSION
No time like the present.
This is the one! Come on!
ALL SCREAM
They have all changed!
Reverse!
What happened to the potato heads?
Oh, I'm getting very dizzy now!
It must be a shift in time,
rather than space.
I think you might be getting
the hang of this.
DO NOT DALLY! Who's dallying?
We must take shelter!
Please be correct.
Please be true.
I have located your TARDIS, Doctor.
Hurry it along, Ood.
All your erased memories.
All those hidden lives.
Don't you want to explore
them with us?
You're not going to leave us,
Doctor.
Systems functional, exit available.
Watch me.
What in the name of Rayfax
are you doing here?
I really don't know!
Lupari ship, dead Sontarans.
I don't know who you are,
but you're pretty unstable.
Oi, I'm the most stable
person I know.
How are we back here?
LOCKS GUN
Get your hands in the air.
Madam, who are you?
And what are you
doing in my tunnels?
Readings for artron energy,
at least two of you have had
proximity to a TARDIS.
Ah, that TARDIS, maybe.
How did that get here?
I presume some of you were with it
and the Doctor in 1967?
Was it true
about the Weeping Angels?
How do you know the Doctor?
I'm the leader of Human Resistance
Against Sontaran Occupation.
The name's Stewart.
Kate Stewart.
EXPLOSIVE WARP
I'm here. Where's here?
But also, I was...
Yaz! Dan!
Kate Stewart!
KATE STEWART? Jericho?
Victorian-looking bloke!
My TARDIS!
And a lot of doors.
WAIT!
But seriously, how am I here?
I'm on Karvanista's ship.
And also...
I'm still here.
How am I still here?
You are not and yet you are.
There is danger. This is not usual.
You're telling me that's not usual.
Seems you are unable to
tear yourself away.
That does not belong to you.
You think we're going to stop?
After all the time you've
made me wait.
This is better than
we could ever have hoped.
We have everything we need.
Division...
..the power to destroy your
universe...
..and you.
Peoples of the Universe, the
warriors of Sontar offer you hope.
To our long-time foes
on battlefield, we make this offer.
In the face of an event
which may extinguish us all,
we offer the three-fingered
hand of uneasy alliance.
We must join together to survive
this threat against us.
Except Rutans.
Rutans, you remain hideous scum
and must be obliterated.
To our Dalek and Cyber foes,
we now offer the possibility
of an understanding.
Negotiation.
To all others, we pledge death.
Under the boots of Sontar.
None of this is possible, three
places, same time, three me's,
three Doctors, same Doctor,
maybe conversion plate removal
the same moment as contact
with Swarm,
outside the normal laws of physics.
That's the next wave of
Sontarans heading towards us.
Oh, come on, Doctor, just
concentrate on the here and now.
Oy! What're you doing?
Disengaging from the fleet,
you're a sitting dog here.
No, no, no, no.
Too late, sorry!
Commander Stenck,
scientific officer Sen Starg
reporting, sir.
If you will permit me to speak.
The Dark Energy Camera facility
developed here by the humans
is surprisingly
adequate for our purposes.
Establishing our command here has
proven a wise strategic move,
for which you are to be
congratulated.
It was my idea.
Your obsequious congratulations
are noted, Senstarg.
Commander, a Lupari craft has
detached from the inside of
the planetary shield!
Where's the biggest concentration
of Sontaran craft on Earth?
Here, got it!
What? And let's remove that
pesky defensive cloaking.
It appears to be on a trajectory
to crash into us.
You just amped everything
past maximum.
She's insane!
MAGNETIC BUZZING
Attention, rogue Lupari ship!
This is Sontaran Command.
We have you held at a force field.
Your attempt to crash into
us has failed.
We will bring your ship down to
planetary surface,
where you will be imprisoned,
interrogated and gleefully executed.
You knew they'd do that.
People rarely want to be
crashed into.
They tend to take precautions.
Plus, we might get
a peek into their operations.
Win-win.
So, Karvanista, the two of us
are perfect Sontaran bait.
We get captured to buy
you time for a solo mission.
Has anyone else noticed...
..lots of doors?
You have no escape.
It's perfect.
All your lost memories.
Give me that fob watch.
Shall I open it?
Shall we see?
I think I shall.
WHISPERING
LOUD WHISPERING
Is this what you expected, Doctor?
Illogical house.
A construction that makes no sense.
All the memories you've lost,
all the people you've been.
It's all in there,
contained within that house.
What are you waiting for, Doctor?
Go inside. Take a look.
Meet the selves you've lost.
No. Are you worried
what you may discover?
Or how it will break your mind?
I have your past lives,
and your memories.
I can rend them all to dust.
But don't worry, I'll take it slow.
She feels all of it.
I can make her feel much more.
Agh!
I could do this forever.
Has anyone else noticed
lots of doors?
What's all this?
Those are my notes, maps and labels
relating to these doors.
Madam, they are all to be approached
with caution.
I approach everything with caution.
Or abandon. One of the two.
You OK?
I am now.
How long's it been, for you two?
A few years.
We went all over the world.
She was amazing. She is amazing.
Don't get soppy on me now, Scouse.
I missed you.
I missed you too.
Thanks for the hologram.
Who's he?
Joseph Williamson. He built
all this, 19th century. Mad Mole?
Of Edge Hill? Always wanted to meet
you! You're on my list.
It's a big list. More of a book.
More of a series of books.
Well, a small library.
Anyway, enough of the small talk,
tell me everything! Short version.
Likes to chat, doesn't he?
I can't get a word in.
Well, madam, I was inspecting the
start of building work
on my land one evening, when I found
myself in a city of the future.
Next day,
another part of my land led me
to a different alien vista.
Multiple rips in the fabric
of space and time,
in one corner of Liverpool.
I became obsessed,
as you might imagine.
I was able to journey to far-off
places, experience tremendous,
terrifying vista and creatures.
So I kept records, I marked
where one world became another,
structured these tunnels
around those records.
Then, on one journey, I saw...
..the end of everything.
The final Flux event.
Well, I believed we would be
vulnerable on the surface,
so I endeavoured to build a city
under the earth,
to protect as many of us
as possible.
I was mocked, and I fear
my efforts have been for nought.
No, no, no, Joseph Williamson,
not at all!
Quite the opposite!
Come here, well done,
Paul Hollywood handshake,
thank you for everything
you've done, Mad Mole.
So, Kate Stewart,
leader of human resistance,
bring me up to speed.
Sontaran Command is at the
Cerro Tololo Observatory, in Chile,
site of the Dark Energy Camera.
Accessing information
they can't get elsewhere. Apparently
they have a Psychic Command centre,
and they're using humans
to fuel its work.
I thought if I could get some
undercover operatives into
Sontaran Command, they could tell us
what the Sontarans were doing.
Do you think we might recruit
another participant?
Someone we left someone behind?
We're having the same thought.
How would you get anyone in?
We've discovered a Sontaran
weakness,
thanks to a set of raids
on...corner shops.
Why are they raiding corner sh...?
Oh! Metabolic processing!
Lesser gravity,
restorative gas composition...
That would provoke a predilection.
Have you any idea
what's she talking about?
Not a clue.
Normal service resumed!
Lots to do. Let's go.
Infiltrate Sontarans,
stop the Flux, keep everyone alive,
escape Swarm,
and put myself back together.
Oh, sorry, I forgot to mention,
I'm being trisected across
disparate dimensions,
I'm split across three realities
now. It's quite draining,
and confusing, and breaks every
known law of every known everything.
How much danger are you in?
I don't know - it's never
happened to me before.
Agh! I'm fine, I'm fine.
Well, a bit scared.
Keep going.
We start with
Operation Sontaran Corner Shop.
Humans, in these last moments
of your planet's existence,
let our conquest be a reminder
that defiance of Sontar
shall always fail.
This pitiful rock is
but a temporary outpost
for the Final Sontaran Offensive.
The imminent cataclysm shall
engulf your planet.
Sontar-ha!
Move on, soldiers.
I will deal with the site analysis.
Yes, SIR!
Company, march!
ALL: Sontar-ha! Sontar-ha!
Sontar-ha! Sontar-ha!
BELL JANGLES
CHUCKLING
Oh, dear, Commander Shallo!
Drunk on chocolate?
How would that go down
with your superiors?
Who are you?
I always wanted a little shop,
right on the corner,
lots of footfall, well stocked.
I'd have a shop exactly like this.
Well, not exactly.
I'd make some changes.
Anyway, have more sweets.
You'll make him sick.
Sontarans are never sick!
Sontarans shall be both vanquishers
and saviours of the universe.
Your delicious and appealing
mouth snacks wrapped in paper
will never weaken us,
or our resolve.
We are invulnerable.
Hic!
Maybe three more?
Try some of this.
That is delicious.
More scum!
Three scum!
We understand you're in need
of psychic operatives.
They break so easily.
Feeble human minds.
We know a couple who are keen
to help the Sontaran cause,
in exchange for unlimited access
to human chocolate.
Maybe even the recipe -
you could make it yourself.
If you transport them
to Sontaran Psychic Command.
What do you say?
Ah... Ahhh...
Choco-late.
SHALLO CHUCKLES
Hello, Miss Brown.
Oh, I say.
You're safe!
All of you. How did you...?
You said you were in 1901!
We were split.
And the Angels took you.
I didn't think I'd ever see you
again. I'm glad you're OK.
The good news is,
we can get you back to 2021.
Feel like there might be bad news.
The planet's under alien occupation.
Angels?
No. A race called Sontarans.
We need your percipient abilities
in order for you and I
to go undercover
on an alien spacecraft.
Does this sort of thing happen
a lot to you?
You'd be surprised.
This is a big ask.
You don't have to come.
WHIRRING
Oh, now, I'm shut in with the dog.
This plan of yours had better work.
Cos you've been nothing but trouble
for me. Ever since we met.
What? I glimpsed a memory of you.
We were together,
in the Temple of Atropos.
Division mission - that's my guess.
Am I right?
When I said I couldn't talk to you
about it, I really meant it.
We're locked in! Pass the time!
How close were we?
Were you my...companion?
I can't talk,
because it will kill me.
I have a synaptic collider
installed in my brain.
If I talk about it,
the collider will inject poison
directly into my brain.
I'll be dead in three seconds.
Division put that in your head?
There was a time
I'd do anything for you.
But you left me.
I don't have those memories.
I put the whole universe between us.
Then you come crashing back in,
as if nothing had ever happened.
Come back to us, Doctor.
You don't get to die yet.
We'll decide when.
What's he doing?
What do you want?
You know what we want.
The end of all spatial objects.
And now, here, we have the means.
Control over Division means
control over the final Flux event.
It's so interesting, Doctor.
I look in your mind, and I see
what you're most afraid of.
Your biggest fear isn't yourself.
It's the destruction
of other things.
It's an obsession.
You want to keep things alive.
You want creatures to breathe
and live.
You want species and races to build.
I look into your mind
and your hearts,
and I don't know
why you want it so much.
And I don't know why you're
so afraid of the opposite.
Do YOU?
Life must win.
But why?
Why is it better?
Why is what you fight for
better than what we will bring?
Because otherwise...
..why are we here?
You shouldn't be.
That's why we exist.
To correct the error.
There's a balance to the universe.
It exists that way for a reason.
That is your faith.
Ours is different.
Ours is true.
And now, we will ensure that the
Flux takes apart
your entire universe.
Ending with Atropos.
The release of Time.
And then we will play.
What do you mean, "play"?
The final Flux destroys.
We stop it.
Wind it back.
And watch it again
and again and again.
A constant destructive loop.
Why?
Because that is what you did to us.
You and Division left us suffering.
This is how we will repay you.
Suspended, feeling every death,
every dying particle,
on a loop.
And as this happens,
we will summon our Saviour.
Time as witness.
What? It will be beautiful.
She's right.
THE DOCTOR GASPS
See?
You are the universe, Doctor.
The legendary Doctor.
Bit tall for a Sontaran.
And you don't have the air
of a rescue party.
It's time for your interrogation.
Doctor!
Finally, where you belong!
As our prisoner.
And the last of the Lupari!
How you must mourn them.
What do you mean?
My soldiers performed admirably.
Every Lupar on those ships
airlocked out into space.
Their bodies now scatter
the space lanes.
Every single one, dead!
That is the cost of resistance
to Sontaran might.
Karvanista, I'm so sorry.
GASPS
I'm gonna kill every last Sontaran.
Ha! I look forward to the combat.
HOWLS
Do we have to go with dragging?
I can walk, you know!
No way.
I need to take a break.
Thought you said you were a pilot!
I've been sitting down a lot
recently.
And we've been running for,
well, no idea...how long.
Or how far.
Distance and time seems to all work
differently in here.
Look, we can keep searching,
but these landscapes are endless,
I mean, literally endless.
And I'm pretty sure
your partner's not in here.
There were others,
but now they're gone. It's just me.
You OK?
I had it worked out.
Get in here, find Bel, use this
communicator to summon rescue.
But I was wrong.
About it all. Bel's not here
and the communicator won't work.
Why have they kept you,
if everyone else has gone?
To them, I'm insignificant.
But I'm NOT insignificant.
Obviously.
So how do we get out of here?
Jump in the river.
That was the edge. When you get
to the edge of one landscape,
it transports you to another.
This thing, this prison, generates
endless multiple landscapes,
but they still have edges.
Guarded by that security system.
And I've been piecing
the connections together.
Nice blaster action!
Where'd you train?
Laser Quest, Fazakerley.
Come on,
I need to show you something.
I found this,
after I'd been here for a while.
How long did it take to dig this?
Way too long.
It's a bio-form, it's a
combination of organic and machine.
But THESE are
the internal tech-systems.
I figured systems have a purpose.
And if they're buried,
it's to prevent interference.
So I interfered.
Why're you looking at me like that?
We get trained on what to do if
we're held hostage
in various environments.
The last environment we do
is Passenger forms.
You should teach at the Academy.
These systems, they seem to control
those steps where you came in.
If you disrupt the systems,
the steps become active.
We can make it from here, if we run.
But it self-repairs, so
they're only there a limited time.
I'm all about disrupting
the systems.
Gotta be quick!
We're out! Nice work!
Now what?
Faster, human scum!
The work must continue!
Commander Shallo promised us
high-calibre recruits.
Let us hope YOU prove stronger
than the previous feeble specimens.
What is it you want us to do?
Our quantum readers predict multiple
pathways of the timewaves.
We require you to psychically
evaluate all possibilities,
in order to accurately identify
the exact space-time
coordinates of the predicted
final Flux event.
You want to know
when and where it will happen.
Correct, human scum!
The ultimate cataclysm which will
propel Sontar
to universal domination!
The system will register
every response.
The true co-ordinates will no doubt
be an excruciating
and possibly overwhelming
psychic load.
Your service to Sontar will end
in success, or death.
And the reward for success?
Death.
Activate psychic load.
Where is Kate Stewart?
Your own torture chamber,
on a Sontaran ship,
at the heart of Sontaran Command.
They must rate you very highly.
For now.
I'm protecting their interests.
I've seen a lot of species make
alliances with Sontarans.
It never ends well.
Speaking of species, what are you?
Cos it is boiling in here.
And any human would be sweating,
or any Sontaran.
And I'm noting dual pulses
in your wrist and neck.
I'm thinking binary demi-species,
but they're really rare.
Oh! Am I right?
Cos you look really cross.
What's your name?
We haven't been introduced.
Do you know what this ship really
needs is lanyards.
You can call me Grand Serpent.
Is that what your parents
called you?
"Oh, look, darling, so cute."
It was a title bestowed on me.
Yeah.
I bet you've been making lanyards
with that on for years.
Let me guess.
Exiled?
Or fleeing?
Ex-leader,
or dictator?
You've got that air of entitlement.
Probably responsible for any number
of genocides. How am I doing?
I will be the one interrogating you,
Doctor.
And I was a beloved ruler. Whoa!
Ego klaxon!
So what's the plan here -
let the Sontarans do the dirty work,
then betray them, or eradicate them,
then rule over a semi-grateful human
race - how am I doing at guessing?
Ugh! Agh!
Feels weird.
Feeling weird a lot today,
but that feels different.
Agh!
Are you...? Argh!
How rude! Are you trying to kill me
right now?!
Binary demi-species
with inter-body bio-projection?
Kill by suffocating the target from
within,
using their own lesser-dominant,
often more-deadly form.
Surrender to death.
I'd rather not,
cos you've got two problems.
Ahh...
One, I'm not fully here.
Split across three places.
You can't get a full physical lock
on me...
VWORP-VWORP
..because I can't
even get one on myself. And two...
Well, two...
Hi! Please stop torturing me.
Like, immediately.
Hi! Wow, YOU'RE cute.
Thanks! So, are you!
What have you done to me?
Put you on the very naughty step.
Frozen.
Whoa!
There's two of you.
I know! I know!
Now, we all know that bio-projection
duo-imaging is
subject to very painful
sonic locking.
BEEP, WHIRRING
So subject to it!
Sorry if that hurts.
You're caught in its lock field now.
Taste of your own medicine,
I'm afraid.
That's what I would've done!
That's what you did do.
Come on, you lot. He's going to be
stuck in there for a while.
I've got such a crush on her!
Not long before they detect us
in here.
You should be getting
the data stream now.
BEEPING
I'm not putting you to work,
we're a team.
Hi. Did you get it?
Are you done? We have to go!
Very quickly.
We have to go! Quick smart!
What? How are you...?
I'll tell you while we're running.
Intruders!
Halt and face your inevitable death!
In the doghouse, are you?
Go away. Now, then.
Be nice or you won't get a biscuit.
BEEP, WHIRRING
"Fetch your dog." And I have.
Wow, that Nepal fella was good,
after all.
Is he OK?
Sontarans killed all of his people.
Splinter group one,
Jericho and Claire in place.
Hi, both of you, this is the Doctor.
Well, Doctors!
We're receiving a psychic data
from your transmat rings.
But the TARDIS is still
deciphering the information.
I'm sorry it's so painful, but we
need you to hold on a little longer.
Sit tight, keep going, stay safe.
Splinter group two, Bel!
Thank you.
Wait, child tech! Are you having...?
All right, all right, don't need
to announce it, do we? OK.
She's a good wee helper, though.
As well as the code for the hold
lock beam on the Lupari ship,
there's also a log of all outgoing
Sontaran transmissions.
What kind of transmissions?
We offer the three-fingered hand
of an easy alliance. We must join
together...
Wait. Sontarans never do that.
Why would they ever join up
with Daleks and Cybermen?
That's what I'M thinking.
The Sontarans proposing a peace
summit - that doesn't ring true.
And how does them summoning their
enemies connect up to the Flux?
Aw, there's too many questions!
You thinking what I'm thinking?
Good idea.
Contact. Contact.
Doctor to Doctor to Doctor -
hoping we can bridge the divide.
Contact.
How're you - I mean, we - doing?
Not good.
Don't know how I get out of here.
Don't think I've got the strength.
Focus on the Flux -
it's at the heart of everything.
The TARDIS has been analysing
Flux particles
since we first came across it,
but it can't fully decode
its structure, because it was made
outside of the universe.
Is there something in what the Ood
showed us in Division?
Yes! It's in the details.
The make-up of the Flux -
the primary material.
Anti-matter, created outside of
our universe and channelled in.
That's what the Flux is.
They're doing something
with the Flux Generation system,
changing part of the trajectory.
HIGH-PITCHED BEEP
Contact broken.
We can't hold on to this
split existence much longer.
WHIRRING, BEEPING
You. YOU!
There is something different
about you.
Increasing psychic load.
It's too much for her!
Quiet, human irrelevance!
LOUD WHIRRING
WHIRRING STOPS
She has done it.
What is it, Kragar?
I hope you bring good news for once.
The best, Commander.
We have the exact coordinates
for the final Flux event!
The operation can commence.
Excellent, Kragar!
You shall have the highest honours!
Commander Stenck to all ships.
Stenck to all ships.
You are receiving
new operational directives.
All troops return to ships!
Abandon Outpost Earth.
The Flux Offensive is now active!
The final victory for Sontar is
within our grasp!
The Doctor was in here.
You were interrogating her.
She rescued herself!
Another Doctor, the same Doctor,
in her own TARDIS!
I do not have time
for your delusional witterings!
Our strategy has been activated!
I just need to trace
all recent readings of Artron energy
around the Earth.
Be quick,
if you wish to survive alongside us.
BEEPING
Of course.
Kate Stewart.
Totally different place.
Must be where the Ravagers keep the
Passenger form until they need it.
But we got out.
This is Vinder calling the Doctor.
Urgent help requested.
Doctor, are you receiving?
Vinder... Vinder! He's alive.
How do you know Vinder?
Vinder, can you hear me?
You were the one he's looking for.
Tigmi, he's alive!
Vinder, this is the Doctor,
receiving you.
Hurry it up, lad!
Lock onto our signal.
We've managed to...
Vinder, locking on!
Think it was enough?
Can you do it? Can you get him?
Doing it now, few things going on.
Luckily there's two of us.
Well, three. But two in here.
Sorry, you talk.
Got to stop the Sontarans,
defeat the Flux, rescue him,
and get Jericho and Claire.
Doctor, it's Kate.
The doors down here are behaving
very strangely.
Of course, why wouldn't they be?!
You know, not like we don't have
enough to do.
Divide. And conquer.
Yaz with me to Kate in the tunnels.
Other me, rescue Vinder.
Return to Command.
Our time grows closer.
I'm not finished here yet.
Your vendettas are irrelevant.
This planet will soon be
a Flux-ravaged wasteland.
Where is Kate Stewart?
I've never heard of her.
Where is Kate Stewart?
Williamson's Tunnels.
You really should have said that
sooner.
Retro-temporal manifestations?
Yep.
Can you not say things like we're
supposed to know what they are?
They're a result of the Flux in the
future,
manifested in the past. Thank you.
When the Flux comes,
it could blow the doors in.
And destroy all my work?
We need to get you home.
We need to get you back
to the 19th century.
It's not safe,
and you're too important to history.
RATTLING
Ah. This one should provide
a safe passage home.
Please,
this is our battle now, not yours.
You gave us sanctuary,
you got Yaz and Dan back to me.
You may just have helped save
the universe, never mind the world.
Your work is done.
Madams.
Madam.
Doctor, your existence is becoming
too unstable.
I fear it will destroy you.
Refreshment?
Thank you.
I need to stop them.
The final Flux event has begun.
It cannot be prevented now.
Think, Doctor, think.
So, what, you're linked to them,
in service of the Ravagers?
But the Ravagers don't
care about you right now,
cos they're distracted, by me,
in Division.
Here you are waiting for a command
that's not going to come.
OK, short, fast hop.
VWORP-VWORP
Get in! Quick! TARDIS doesn't like
it in here. Can't stay too long.
Oh!
We've got you back!
You were late.
I wasn't. I promise.
It was HIS fault.
Don't blame me. I wish I'd never had
anything to do with him.
Hi.
Hi. Missed you.
Missed you more.
BEEPING
Also...
We're having a baby.
If the universe survives.
Better make sure it does, then.
Yeah.
Claire and Jericho are in Sontaran
Psychic Command.
It seems the Sontarans
are using human operatives
to find out the exact moment and
place
the final Flux event will begin.
But simultaneously,
they're organising a truce meeting
with Daleks and Cybermen.
What? Here's what I think they're
doing - luring their enemies
to the place where they know
the final Flux event will explode.
If they manage to wipe out the
entire assembled armies
of Cybermen and Daleks, having lured
them there to negotiate a truce,
that would reverberate
across civilisations.
Sontarans as the ultimate
vanquishers.
That is a massive power grab.
The biggest swing they've ever made.
But everything still gets destroyed
by the Flux.
That's where it's doubly sneaky
and doubly clever.
How do you combat anti-matter?
With matter.
Anti-matter devours matter,
but matter slows anti-matter down.
Put enough in its way,
and it stops and ceases to exist.
Exactly.
The Sontarans are planning to use
their enemies' entire armies,
in order to absorb the Flux.
But they have to show up
to lure the others in.
And they have something
no-one else has.
Lupari shields. Matter-generating,
Flux-repellent shields
to surround the Sontaran fleet.
Saving themselves
while all around them die.
You've got to hand it to them.
Talk about not letting
a good catastrophe go to waste.
They're on course
for the ultimate victory.
Save the universe,
claim it as your own,
by taking out
all of your enemies at once.
So, do we stop it? Do we warn
the Daleks and the Cybermen?
Save them to defeat the Sontarans?
No.
My plan's more risky than that.
I've got tasks for you all,
you've all got jobs.
It's a really good plan.
Quite risky, though.
Can you let me do the explaining?
All right, touchy.
We have to stop the Sontaran plan
with the Grand Serpent.
What did you say?
Did you say Grand Serpent?
I'm not sure how much more my body
can take of this, Ood.
If I could get those Ravagers away,
would you be able to minimise
the final Flux event?
My impact may be minimal,
but I'll try.
Ugh!
That's all either of us can do
right now.
Oi! You two!
Is this where we're going to stay,
for the end of the universe?
Atropos will be the final
point of the Flux destruction.
The culmination,
where Time will be unleashed.
You'll be our offering.
The first Time Lord.
A final gift for the Saviour.
Sacrificed to Time, on Atropos,
as it falls to the Flux.
Atropos, then.
You know the Sontaran strategy,
you know our counterplan.
We're dropping you three, and other
me, back into the Lupari fleet.
You know what you have to do.
Timing is going to be everything.
Now, we need to get Jericho
and Claire out of danger.
Jericho, Claire,
use the transmat rings now.
Ready? Yes.
Go, Miss Brown!
Oh, dear.
Sontaran fleet in position.
Lupari shield ships
in wall formation in place.
CHUCKLING
Prepare for the ultimate betrayal.
Lupari shield craft,
when I give the word,
move the barrier
to protect only Sontaran ships.
Boy, is he in for a surprise.
Welcome, Dalek and Cyber comrades!
All Dalek battalions
are aligned here!
We accept the offer of protection
against the Flux event!
Cyber battalions are amassed.
We accept a truce
for mutually assured survival.
LAUGHTER
Lupari ships are moving
and reforming!
This is a betrayal!
Cyber Fleet trapped
in the pull of the Flux.
What is the meaning of this?
The meaning is victory for Sontar!
Sontar-ha!
I have done all I can, Doctor.
Lupari shield,
you are in the wrong formation!
Resume protective placing!
No.
Where are my soldiers?
Unconscious. Don't you think
I know Lupari ships inside out?
Like how to send a stun pulse
to incapacitate intruders?
And how to remotely control
the fleet formation?
You are not in control.
We are. And this is for my people.
Ugh!
What is happening?!
This is
Serving Commander Inston-Vee-Vinder
of Kasto-Winfer-Foxfell,
on a Lupari craft, blasting
the hell out of your comms systems!
Whoo!
Blasting Sontaran comms is
the family business!
Right, Tigmi?
All Sontaran ships, evacuate!
I'm afraid my friends just took out
your comms transmitters,
and in seven seconds, you'll be in
the gravitational pull of the Flux.
Vinder, Bel, get clear!
Clear, Doctor! So clear!
This was YOUR strategy.
Anti-matter slowed
by absorbing army fleets.
Argh!
You will suffer for this, Doctor!
Doctor to Jericho, I know your
transmat ring is out of service,
but get yourself to a transport pod
just out in the corridor.
I'm afraid my options for exiting
are...rather non-existent.
I can't get the TARDIS in
because of the pull of the Flux.
I've lived more in my time with you
than I did during the previous
two decades.
Who has had a life like mine?
I have you now, nameless human!
I, sir,
am Professor Eustacius Jericho.
Scourge of scoundrels!
I wish I'd written that
autobiography - what a good title.
By the wrath of Sontar,
I will now execute you!
I really don't think
you're going to have time.
Arghhh!
What an awfully big adventure.
Jericho.
Some of the Flux is going to make it
through the Lupari shield.
It's not enough.
We thought about that. There's a
way to deal with the remnants of it.
Right, what were you telling me?
The Passenger form - inside is
endless endless matter.
Can't you use that
to absorb what's left of the Flux?
Diane, you may have just saved
the rest of the universe.
Told you
those things underestimated me.
If we summon and open
the Passenger form,
the Flux'll be drawn inside it -
neutrally assured extinction.
Yes.
DOCTOR: And there it is.
I knew you'd have some use!
Hoover up that Flux for us.
Our Saviour.
I always wondered
what Time would look like.
Ah, way to play to your ego.
Saviour.
We have come to release you.
And yet I'm still encaged
in this pitiful realm of Atropos.
No. Soon the Flux...
The Flux is extinguished.
What?! You bring me here
to announce you've failed.
Sure you pressed the right button?
I warned you not to play games
with us, Doctor.
I've been with you the whole time.
Well, most of me has.
So, however much you wanted to break
Time out of prison, you just have
to make do with visiting hours.
They didn't even bring you a cake.
We brought you, Doctor.
Take her.
The Timeless Child.
As sacrifice, she is yours.
But how would I reward your failure,
my servants?
GASPING
Ascension!
Nice look!
Quite fancy that coat.
Oh, I get how that ego appeal thing
works now.
My turn now, is it?
My reckoning?
No.
Oh.
Really?
You can leave here.
But you won't outrun me.
Your time is heading to its end.
No.
It's not.
You're wrong.
Nothing is forever.
No regeneration.
No life.
Beware of the forces
that mass against you.
WHISPERS: And their Master.
What do you mean?
What do you mean, "their Master"?
I restore you, Doctor.
Reunify you.
But for how long?
You OK?
I'm whole again.
Am I?
Yes, it feels that way.
I had a reckoning with Time.
Wait.
One thing left undone.
I know you're here, Kate.
Time to stop hiding.
Yeah, it's not her
you should be worrying about.
Who are you?
Now, that's the question.
Do you have any idea what
I've been through, because of you?
Perhaps you're mistaking me
for someone else. No.
I've waited a long time for this.
What are you going to do,
shoot me?
It's better than that.
Open door seven, please, Prentis.
I knew you were skulking down here!
And yet, in your arrogance,
you came alone.
Open door seven.
You want to know who I am?
I'm the man
who understands the pain of exile.
I'm sorry for what the Sontarans
did to the Lupari.
You think saddling me with these two
will make up for it?
I'm dropping everyone off,
first opportunity I get.
We'll see! I've got quite attached
to this ship now!
Yeah,
we could do a bit of exploring,
pick up some work, get into trouble,
get out of trouble.
One family and their dog.
I wish I'd never saved your life.
You're not staying. Any of you!
This is MY ship! Well, then,
we'll, er, leave you to it.
DOOR CREAKS
DOOR CLOSES
I should've stayed with the
professor. You risked your life.
You got
the information that we needed.
Yaz is right - none of us would be
here without you.
Or you, Doctor.
Thank you. As always.
Where would Earth be without you?
Always glad to help.
I like this regeneration.
Hope I meet it again.
I hope so too.
Look after yourself, Kate Stewart.
DAN: Nobody REALLY knows, to this
day, why he built the tunnels.
They're still excavating them now.
You should go and have a look
while you're here. Dan?
I'll leave yous.
Have a nice evening.
What you doing?
Wanted to see how you were.
Listen, I booked a table
at the Rivera, tomorrow night.
I thought we could finally
get that drink.
Do you mind if we don't?
I wasn't late.
It wasn't my fault.
Maybe not tomorrow.
I'd better...
Yeah. Yeah...
Need a lift anywhere?
Why, where you going?
No idea.
Wanna come?
First left, ninth right,
and then third left.
Bedroom corridor.
Get yourself settled in properly.
Yaz...
I'm sorry.
I didn't let you in...
..to what I was doing.
Going after Karvanista.
What I was looking for.
I shouldn't have shut you out.
No. You shouldn't have.
I was looking for...
..information...
..about me.
A life I never knew.
I want to tell you everything.
I'd like that.
Did you say left or right?
Come on, Scouse,
let Yorkshire show you the way.
OVERLAPPING WHISPERS
Do me a favour.
Keep this safe.
Somewhere deep within this TARDIS.
Somewhere I can never find it.
Unless I really ask for it.
Happy Nearly New Year.
Here we are again.
Yeah. Yeah. Here we are again.
Exterminate! Not like this.
inwards at the planet's surface.
Earth shield is now breachable.
The forces of Sontar
have revenge to exact.
This chamber is the heart
of my excavation project.
I've got a plan to get
you out of here.
You are recalled to Division.
I'm Tecteun,
the woman you used to call mother.
DOCTOR WHO: You're generating the
final waves of the Flux from here.
Now I release you.
No, no, no, don't you touch her.
Now you.
Ood, with me.
She thinks running will help.
We're defenceless!
We are never defenceless.
Ood, quick, what would happen
if I rip off the conversion plate?
You will be pulled
back into the universe.
I have to get back to Earth.
Can you locate my TARDIS?
Doctor.
Departing so soon.
The neighbourhood went downhill.
And leaving this behind?
I thought we got rid of this lot.
LOUD BANGING
There's more. Follow me.
Did he not say some of these
doors had changed?
Now which one?
EXPLOSION
No time like the present.
This is the one! Come on!
ALL SCREAM
They have all changed!
Reverse!
What happened to the potato heads?
Oh, I'm getting very dizzy now!
It must be a shift in time,
rather than space.
I think you might be getting
the hang of this.
DO NOT DALLY! Who's dallying?
We must take shelter!
Please be correct.
Please be true.
I have located your TARDIS, Doctor.
Hurry it along, Ood.
All your erased memories.
All those hidden lives.
Don't you want to explore
them with us?
You're not going to leave us,
Doctor.
Systems functional, exit available.
Watch me.
What in the name of Rayfax
are you doing here?
I really don't know!
Lupari ship, dead Sontarans.
I don't know who you are,
but you're pretty unstable.
Oi, I'm the most stable
person I know.
How are we back here?
LOCKS GUN
Get your hands in the air.
Madam, who are you?
And what are you
doing in my tunnels?
Readings for artron energy,
at least two of you have had
proximity to a TARDIS.
Ah, that TARDIS, maybe.
How did that get here?
I presume some of you were with it
and the Doctor in 1967?
Was it true
about the Weeping Angels?
How do you know the Doctor?
I'm the leader of Human Resistance
Against Sontaran Occupation.
The name's Stewart.
Kate Stewart.
EXPLOSIVE WARP
I'm here. Where's here?
But also, I was...
Yaz! Dan!
Kate Stewart!
KATE STEWART? Jericho?
Victorian-looking bloke!
My TARDIS!
And a lot of doors.
WAIT!
But seriously, how am I here?
I'm on Karvanista's ship.
And also...
I'm still here.
How am I still here?
You are not and yet you are.
There is danger. This is not usual.
You're telling me that's not usual.
Seems you are unable to
tear yourself away.
That does not belong to you.
You think we're going to stop?
After all the time you've
made me wait.
This is better than
we could ever have hoped.
We have everything we need.
Division...
..the power to destroy your
universe...
..and you.
Peoples of the Universe, the
warriors of Sontar offer you hope.
To our long-time foes
on battlefield, we make this offer.
In the face of an event
which may extinguish us all,
we offer the three-fingered
hand of uneasy alliance.
We must join together to survive
this threat against us.
Except Rutans.
Rutans, you remain hideous scum
and must be obliterated.
To our Dalek and Cyber foes,
we now offer the possibility
of an understanding.
Negotiation.
To all others, we pledge death.
Under the boots of Sontar.
None of this is possible, three
places, same time, three me's,
three Doctors, same Doctor,
maybe conversion plate removal
the same moment as contact
with Swarm,
outside the normal laws of physics.
That's the next wave of
Sontarans heading towards us.
Oh, come on, Doctor, just
concentrate on the here and now.
Oy! What're you doing?
Disengaging from the fleet,
you're a sitting dog here.
No, no, no, no.
Too late, sorry!
Commander Stenck,
scientific officer Sen Starg
reporting, sir.
If you will permit me to speak.
The Dark Energy Camera facility
developed here by the humans
is surprisingly
adequate for our purposes.
Establishing our command here has
proven a wise strategic move,
for which you are to be
congratulated.
It was my idea.
Your obsequious congratulations
are noted, Senstarg.
Commander, a Lupari craft has
detached from the inside of
the planetary shield!
Where's the biggest concentration
of Sontaran craft on Earth?
Here, got it!
What? And let's remove that
pesky defensive cloaking.
It appears to be on a trajectory
to crash into us.
You just amped everything
past maximum.
She's insane!
MAGNETIC BUZZING
Attention, rogue Lupari ship!
This is Sontaran Command.
We have you held at a force field.
Your attempt to crash into
us has failed.
We will bring your ship down to
planetary surface,
where you will be imprisoned,
interrogated and gleefully executed.
You knew they'd do that.
People rarely want to be
crashed into.
They tend to take precautions.
Plus, we might get
a peek into their operations.
Win-win.
So, Karvanista, the two of us
are perfect Sontaran bait.
We get captured to buy
you time for a solo mission.
Has anyone else noticed...
..lots of doors?
You have no escape.
It's perfect.
All your lost memories.
Give me that fob watch.
Shall I open it?
Shall we see?
I think I shall.
WHISPERING
LOUD WHISPERING
Is this what you expected, Doctor?
Illogical house.
A construction that makes no sense.
All the memories you've lost,
all the people you've been.
It's all in there,
contained within that house.
What are you waiting for, Doctor?
Go inside. Take a look.
Meet the selves you've lost.
No. Are you worried
what you may discover?
Or how it will break your mind?
I have your past lives,
and your memories.
I can rend them all to dust.
But don't worry, I'll take it slow.
She feels all of it.
I can make her feel much more.
Agh!
I could do this forever.
Has anyone else noticed
lots of doors?
What's all this?
Those are my notes, maps and labels
relating to these doors.
Madam, they are all to be approached
with caution.
I approach everything with caution.
Or abandon. One of the two.
You OK?
I am now.
How long's it been, for you two?
A few years.
We went all over the world.
She was amazing. She is amazing.
Don't get soppy on me now, Scouse.
I missed you.
I missed you too.
Thanks for the hologram.
Who's he?
Joseph Williamson. He built
all this, 19th century. Mad Mole?
Of Edge Hill? Always wanted to meet
you! You're on my list.
It's a big list. More of a book.
More of a series of books.
Well, a small library.
Anyway, enough of the small talk,
tell me everything! Short version.
Likes to chat, doesn't he?
I can't get a word in.
Well, madam, I was inspecting the
start of building work
on my land one evening, when I found
myself in a city of the future.
Next day,
another part of my land led me
to a different alien vista.
Multiple rips in the fabric
of space and time,
in one corner of Liverpool.
I became obsessed,
as you might imagine.
I was able to journey to far-off
places, experience tremendous,
terrifying vista and creatures.
So I kept records, I marked
where one world became another,
structured these tunnels
around those records.
Then, on one journey, I saw...
..the end of everything.
The final Flux event.
Well, I believed we would be
vulnerable on the surface,
so I endeavoured to build a city
under the earth,
to protect as many of us
as possible.
I was mocked, and I fear
my efforts have been for nought.
No, no, no, Joseph Williamson,
not at all!
Quite the opposite!
Come here, well done,
Paul Hollywood handshake,
thank you for everything
you've done, Mad Mole.
So, Kate Stewart,
leader of human resistance,
bring me up to speed.
Sontaran Command is at the
Cerro Tololo Observatory, in Chile,
site of the Dark Energy Camera.
Accessing information
they can't get elsewhere. Apparently
they have a Psychic Command centre,
and they're using humans
to fuel its work.
I thought if I could get some
undercover operatives into
Sontaran Command, they could tell us
what the Sontarans were doing.
Do you think we might recruit
another participant?
Someone we left someone behind?
We're having the same thought.
How would you get anyone in?
We've discovered a Sontaran
weakness,
thanks to a set of raids
on...corner shops.
Why are they raiding corner sh...?
Oh! Metabolic processing!
Lesser gravity,
restorative gas composition...
That would provoke a predilection.
Have you any idea
what's she talking about?
Not a clue.
Normal service resumed!
Lots to do. Let's go.
Infiltrate Sontarans,
stop the Flux, keep everyone alive,
escape Swarm,
and put myself back together.
Oh, sorry, I forgot to mention,
I'm being trisected across
disparate dimensions,
I'm split across three realities
now. It's quite draining,
and confusing, and breaks every
known law of every known everything.
How much danger are you in?
I don't know - it's never
happened to me before.
Agh! I'm fine, I'm fine.
Well, a bit scared.
Keep going.
We start with
Operation Sontaran Corner Shop.
Humans, in these last moments
of your planet's existence,
let our conquest be a reminder
that defiance of Sontar
shall always fail.
This pitiful rock is
but a temporary outpost
for the Final Sontaran Offensive.
The imminent cataclysm shall
engulf your planet.
Sontar-ha!
Move on, soldiers.
I will deal with the site analysis.
Yes, SIR!
Company, march!
ALL: Sontar-ha! Sontar-ha!
Sontar-ha! Sontar-ha!
BELL JANGLES
CHUCKLING
Oh, dear, Commander Shallo!
Drunk on chocolate?
How would that go down
with your superiors?
Who are you?
I always wanted a little shop,
right on the corner,
lots of footfall, well stocked.
I'd have a shop exactly like this.
Well, not exactly.
I'd make some changes.
Anyway, have more sweets.
You'll make him sick.
Sontarans are never sick!
Sontarans shall be both vanquishers
and saviours of the universe.
Your delicious and appealing
mouth snacks wrapped in paper
will never weaken us,
or our resolve.
We are invulnerable.
Hic!
Maybe three more?
Try some of this.
That is delicious.
More scum!
Three scum!
We understand you're in need
of psychic operatives.
They break so easily.
Feeble human minds.
We know a couple who are keen
to help the Sontaran cause,
in exchange for unlimited access
to human chocolate.
Maybe even the recipe -
you could make it yourself.
If you transport them
to Sontaran Psychic Command.
What do you say?
Ah... Ahhh...
Choco-late.
SHALLO CHUCKLES
Hello, Miss Brown.
Oh, I say.
You're safe!
All of you. How did you...?
You said you were in 1901!
We were split.
And the Angels took you.
I didn't think I'd ever see you
again. I'm glad you're OK.
The good news is,
we can get you back to 2021.
Feel like there might be bad news.
The planet's under alien occupation.
Angels?
No. A race called Sontarans.
We need your percipient abilities
in order for you and I
to go undercover
on an alien spacecraft.
Does this sort of thing happen
a lot to you?
You'd be surprised.
This is a big ask.
You don't have to come.
WHIRRING
Oh, now, I'm shut in with the dog.
This plan of yours had better work.
Cos you've been nothing but trouble
for me. Ever since we met.
What? I glimpsed a memory of you.
We were together,
in the Temple of Atropos.
Division mission - that's my guess.
Am I right?
When I said I couldn't talk to you
about it, I really meant it.
We're locked in! Pass the time!
How close were we?
Were you my...companion?
I can't talk,
because it will kill me.
I have a synaptic collider
installed in my brain.
If I talk about it,
the collider will inject poison
directly into my brain.
I'll be dead in three seconds.
Division put that in your head?
There was a time
I'd do anything for you.
But you left me.
I don't have those memories.
I put the whole universe between us.
Then you come crashing back in,
as if nothing had ever happened.
Come back to us, Doctor.
You don't get to die yet.
We'll decide when.
What's he doing?
What do you want?
You know what we want.
The end of all spatial objects.
And now, here, we have the means.
Control over Division means
control over the final Flux event.
It's so interesting, Doctor.
I look in your mind, and I see
what you're most afraid of.
Your biggest fear isn't yourself.
It's the destruction
of other things.
It's an obsession.
You want to keep things alive.
You want creatures to breathe
and live.
You want species and races to build.
I look into your mind
and your hearts,
and I don't know
why you want it so much.
And I don't know why you're
so afraid of the opposite.
Do YOU?
Life must win.
But why?
Why is it better?
Why is what you fight for
better than what we will bring?
Because otherwise...
..why are we here?
You shouldn't be.
That's why we exist.
To correct the error.
There's a balance to the universe.
It exists that way for a reason.
That is your faith.
Ours is different.
Ours is true.
And now, we will ensure that the
Flux takes apart
your entire universe.
Ending with Atropos.
The release of Time.
And then we will play.
What do you mean, "play"?
The final Flux destroys.
We stop it.
Wind it back.
And watch it again
and again and again.
A constant destructive loop.
Why?
Because that is what you did to us.
You and Division left us suffering.
This is how we will repay you.
Suspended, feeling every death,
every dying particle,
on a loop.
And as this happens,
we will summon our Saviour.
Time as witness.
What? It will be beautiful.
She's right.
THE DOCTOR GASPS
See?
You are the universe, Doctor.
The legendary Doctor.
Bit tall for a Sontaran.
And you don't have the air
of a rescue party.
It's time for your interrogation.
Doctor!
Finally, where you belong!
As our prisoner.
And the last of the Lupari!
How you must mourn them.
What do you mean?
My soldiers performed admirably.
Every Lupar on those ships
airlocked out into space.
Their bodies now scatter
the space lanes.
Every single one, dead!
That is the cost of resistance
to Sontaran might.
Karvanista, I'm so sorry.
GASPS
I'm gonna kill every last Sontaran.
Ha! I look forward to the combat.
HOWLS
Do we have to go with dragging?
I can walk, you know!
No way.
I need to take a break.
Thought you said you were a pilot!
I've been sitting down a lot
recently.
And we've been running for,
well, no idea...how long.
Or how far.
Distance and time seems to all work
differently in here.
Look, we can keep searching,
but these landscapes are endless,
I mean, literally endless.
And I'm pretty sure
your partner's not in here.
There were others,
but now they're gone. It's just me.
You OK?
I had it worked out.
Get in here, find Bel, use this
communicator to summon rescue.
But I was wrong.
About it all. Bel's not here
and the communicator won't work.
Why have they kept you,
if everyone else has gone?
To them, I'm insignificant.
But I'm NOT insignificant.
Obviously.
So how do we get out of here?
Jump in the river.
That was the edge. When you get
to the edge of one landscape,
it transports you to another.
This thing, this prison, generates
endless multiple landscapes,
but they still have edges.
Guarded by that security system.
And I've been piecing
the connections together.
Nice blaster action!
Where'd you train?
Laser Quest, Fazakerley.
Come on,
I need to show you something.
I found this,
after I'd been here for a while.
How long did it take to dig this?
Way too long.
It's a bio-form, it's a
combination of organic and machine.
But THESE are
the internal tech-systems.
I figured systems have a purpose.
And if they're buried,
it's to prevent interference.
So I interfered.
Why're you looking at me like that?
We get trained on what to do if
we're held hostage
in various environments.
The last environment we do
is Passenger forms.
You should teach at the Academy.
These systems, they seem to control
those steps where you came in.
If you disrupt the systems,
the steps become active.
We can make it from here, if we run.
But it self-repairs, so
they're only there a limited time.
I'm all about disrupting
the systems.
Gotta be quick!
We're out! Nice work!
Now what?
Faster, human scum!
The work must continue!
Commander Shallo promised us
high-calibre recruits.
Let us hope YOU prove stronger
than the previous feeble specimens.
What is it you want us to do?
Our quantum readers predict multiple
pathways of the timewaves.
We require you to psychically
evaluate all possibilities,
in order to accurately identify
the exact space-time
coordinates of the predicted
final Flux event.
You want to know
when and where it will happen.
Correct, human scum!
The ultimate cataclysm which will
propel Sontar
to universal domination!
The system will register
every response.
The true co-ordinates will no doubt
be an excruciating
and possibly overwhelming
psychic load.
Your service to Sontar will end
in success, or death.
And the reward for success?
Death.
Activate psychic load.
Where is Kate Stewart?
Your own torture chamber,
on a Sontaran ship,
at the heart of Sontaran Command.
They must rate you very highly.
For now.
I'm protecting their interests.
I've seen a lot of species make
alliances with Sontarans.
It never ends well.
Speaking of species, what are you?
Cos it is boiling in here.
And any human would be sweating,
or any Sontaran.
And I'm noting dual pulses
in your wrist and neck.
I'm thinking binary demi-species,
but they're really rare.
Oh! Am I right?
Cos you look really cross.
What's your name?
We haven't been introduced.
Do you know what this ship really
needs is lanyards.
You can call me Grand Serpent.
Is that what your parents
called you?
"Oh, look, darling, so cute."
It was a title bestowed on me.
Yeah.
I bet you've been making lanyards
with that on for years.
Let me guess.
Exiled?
Or fleeing?
Ex-leader,
or dictator?
You've got that air of entitlement.
Probably responsible for any number
of genocides. How am I doing?
I will be the one interrogating you,
Doctor.
And I was a beloved ruler. Whoa!
Ego klaxon!
So what's the plan here -
let the Sontarans do the dirty work,
then betray them, or eradicate them,
then rule over a semi-grateful human
race - how am I doing at guessing?
Ugh! Agh!
Feels weird.
Feeling weird a lot today,
but that feels different.
Agh!
Are you...? Argh!
How rude! Are you trying to kill me
right now?!
Binary demi-species
with inter-body bio-projection?
Kill by suffocating the target from
within,
using their own lesser-dominant,
often more-deadly form.
Surrender to death.
I'd rather not,
cos you've got two problems.
Ahh...
One, I'm not fully here.
Split across three places.
You can't get a full physical lock
on me...
VWORP-VWORP
..because I can't
even get one on myself. And two...
Well, two...
Hi! Please stop torturing me.
Like, immediately.
Hi! Wow, YOU'RE cute.
Thanks! So, are you!
What have you done to me?
Put you on the very naughty step.
Frozen.
Whoa!
There's two of you.
I know! I know!
Now, we all know that bio-projection
duo-imaging is
subject to very painful
sonic locking.
BEEP, WHIRRING
So subject to it!
Sorry if that hurts.
You're caught in its lock field now.
Taste of your own medicine,
I'm afraid.
That's what I would've done!
That's what you did do.
Come on, you lot. He's going to be
stuck in there for a while.
I've got such a crush on her!
Not long before they detect us
in here.
You should be getting
the data stream now.
BEEPING
I'm not putting you to work,
we're a team.
Hi. Did you get it?
Are you done? We have to go!
Very quickly.
We have to go! Quick smart!
What? How are you...?
I'll tell you while we're running.
Intruders!
Halt and face your inevitable death!
In the doghouse, are you?
Go away. Now, then.
Be nice or you won't get a biscuit.
BEEP, WHIRRING
"Fetch your dog." And I have.
Wow, that Nepal fella was good,
after all.
Is he OK?
Sontarans killed all of his people.
Splinter group one,
Jericho and Claire in place.
Hi, both of you, this is the Doctor.
Well, Doctors!
We're receiving a psychic data
from your transmat rings.
But the TARDIS is still
deciphering the information.
I'm sorry it's so painful, but we
need you to hold on a little longer.
Sit tight, keep going, stay safe.
Splinter group two, Bel!
Thank you.
Wait, child tech! Are you having...?
All right, all right, don't need
to announce it, do we? OK.
She's a good wee helper, though.
As well as the code for the hold
lock beam on the Lupari ship,
there's also a log of all outgoing
Sontaran transmissions.
What kind of transmissions?
We offer the three-fingered hand
of an easy alliance. We must join
together...
Wait. Sontarans never do that.
Why would they ever join up
with Daleks and Cybermen?
That's what I'M thinking.
The Sontarans proposing a peace
summit - that doesn't ring true.
And how does them summoning their
enemies connect up to the Flux?
Aw, there's too many questions!
You thinking what I'm thinking?
Good idea.
Contact. Contact.
Doctor to Doctor to Doctor -
hoping we can bridge the divide.
Contact.
How're you - I mean, we - doing?
Not good.
Don't know how I get out of here.
Don't think I've got the strength.
Focus on the Flux -
it's at the heart of everything.
The TARDIS has been analysing
Flux particles
since we first came across it,
but it can't fully decode
its structure, because it was made
outside of the universe.
Is there something in what the Ood
showed us in Division?
Yes! It's in the details.
The make-up of the Flux -
the primary material.
Anti-matter, created outside of
our universe and channelled in.
That's what the Flux is.
They're doing something
with the Flux Generation system,
changing part of the trajectory.
HIGH-PITCHED BEEP
Contact broken.
We can't hold on to this
split existence much longer.
WHIRRING, BEEPING
You. YOU!
There is something different
about you.
Increasing psychic load.
It's too much for her!
Quiet, human irrelevance!
LOUD WHIRRING
WHIRRING STOPS
She has done it.
What is it, Kragar?
I hope you bring good news for once.
The best, Commander.
We have the exact coordinates
for the final Flux event!
The operation can commence.
Excellent, Kragar!
You shall have the highest honours!
Commander Stenck to all ships.
Stenck to all ships.
You are receiving
new operational directives.
All troops return to ships!
Abandon Outpost Earth.
The Flux Offensive is now active!
The final victory for Sontar is
within our grasp!
The Doctor was in here.
You were interrogating her.
She rescued herself!
Another Doctor, the same Doctor,
in her own TARDIS!
I do not have time
for your delusional witterings!
Our strategy has been activated!
I just need to trace
all recent readings of Artron energy
around the Earth.
Be quick,
if you wish to survive alongside us.
BEEPING
Of course.
Kate Stewart.
Totally different place.
Must be where the Ravagers keep the
Passenger form until they need it.
But we got out.
This is Vinder calling the Doctor.
Urgent help requested.
Doctor, are you receiving?
Vinder... Vinder! He's alive.
How do you know Vinder?
Vinder, can you hear me?
You were the one he's looking for.
Tigmi, he's alive!
Vinder, this is the Doctor,
receiving you.
Hurry it up, lad!
Lock onto our signal.
We've managed to...
Vinder, locking on!
Think it was enough?
Can you do it? Can you get him?
Doing it now, few things going on.
Luckily there's two of us.
Well, three. But two in here.
Sorry, you talk.
Got to stop the Sontarans,
defeat the Flux, rescue him,
and get Jericho and Claire.
Doctor, it's Kate.
The doors down here are behaving
very strangely.
Of course, why wouldn't they be?!
You know, not like we don't have
enough to do.
Divide. And conquer.
Yaz with me to Kate in the tunnels.
Other me, rescue Vinder.
Return to Command.
Our time grows closer.
I'm not finished here yet.
Your vendettas are irrelevant.
This planet will soon be
a Flux-ravaged wasteland.
Where is Kate Stewart?
I've never heard of her.
Where is Kate Stewart?
Williamson's Tunnels.
You really should have said that
sooner.
Retro-temporal manifestations?
Yep.
Can you not say things like we're
supposed to know what they are?
They're a result of the Flux in the
future,
manifested in the past. Thank you.
When the Flux comes,
it could blow the doors in.
And destroy all my work?
We need to get you home.
We need to get you back
to the 19th century.
It's not safe,
and you're too important to history.
RATTLING
Ah. This one should provide
a safe passage home.
Please,
this is our battle now, not yours.
You gave us sanctuary,
you got Yaz and Dan back to me.
You may just have helped save
the universe, never mind the world.
Your work is done.
Madams.
Madam.
Doctor, your existence is becoming
too unstable.
I fear it will destroy you.
Refreshment?
Thank you.
I need to stop them.
The final Flux event has begun.
It cannot be prevented now.
Think, Doctor, think.
So, what, you're linked to them,
in service of the Ravagers?
But the Ravagers don't
care about you right now,
cos they're distracted, by me,
in Division.
Here you are waiting for a command
that's not going to come.
OK, short, fast hop.
VWORP-VWORP
Get in! Quick! TARDIS doesn't like
it in here. Can't stay too long.
Oh!
We've got you back!
You were late.
I wasn't. I promise.
It was HIS fault.
Don't blame me. I wish I'd never had
anything to do with him.
Hi.
Hi. Missed you.
Missed you more.
BEEPING
Also...
We're having a baby.
If the universe survives.
Better make sure it does, then.
Yeah.
Claire and Jericho are in Sontaran
Psychic Command.
It seems the Sontarans
are using human operatives
to find out the exact moment and
place
the final Flux event will begin.
But simultaneously,
they're organising a truce meeting
with Daleks and Cybermen.
What? Here's what I think they're
doing - luring their enemies
to the place where they know
the final Flux event will explode.
If they manage to wipe out the
entire assembled armies
of Cybermen and Daleks, having lured
them there to negotiate a truce,
that would reverberate
across civilisations.
Sontarans as the ultimate
vanquishers.
That is a massive power grab.
The biggest swing they've ever made.
But everything still gets destroyed
by the Flux.
That's where it's doubly sneaky
and doubly clever.
How do you combat anti-matter?
With matter.
Anti-matter devours matter,
but matter slows anti-matter down.
Put enough in its way,
and it stops and ceases to exist.
Exactly.
The Sontarans are planning to use
their enemies' entire armies,
in order to absorb the Flux.
But they have to show up
to lure the others in.
And they have something
no-one else has.
Lupari shields. Matter-generating,
Flux-repellent shields
to surround the Sontaran fleet.
Saving themselves
while all around them die.
You've got to hand it to them.
Talk about not letting
a good catastrophe go to waste.
They're on course
for the ultimate victory.
Save the universe,
claim it as your own,
by taking out
all of your enemies at once.
So, do we stop it? Do we warn
the Daleks and the Cybermen?
Save them to defeat the Sontarans?
No.
My plan's more risky than that.
I've got tasks for you all,
you've all got jobs.
It's a really good plan.
Quite risky, though.
Can you let me do the explaining?
All right, touchy.
We have to stop the Sontaran plan
with the Grand Serpent.
What did you say?
Did you say Grand Serpent?
I'm not sure how much more my body
can take of this, Ood.
If I could get those Ravagers away,
would you be able to minimise
the final Flux event?
My impact may be minimal,
but I'll try.
Ugh!
That's all either of us can do
right now.
Oi! You two!
Is this where we're going to stay,
for the end of the universe?
Atropos will be the final
point of the Flux destruction.
The culmination,
where Time will be unleashed.
You'll be our offering.
The first Time Lord.
A final gift for the Saviour.
Sacrificed to Time, on Atropos,
as it falls to the Flux.
Atropos, then.
You know the Sontaran strategy,
you know our counterplan.
We're dropping you three, and other
me, back into the Lupari fleet.
You know what you have to do.
Timing is going to be everything.
Now, we need to get Jericho
and Claire out of danger.
Jericho, Claire,
use the transmat rings now.
Ready? Yes.
Go, Miss Brown!
Oh, dear.
Sontaran fleet in position.
Lupari shield ships
in wall formation in place.
CHUCKLING
Prepare for the ultimate betrayal.
Lupari shield craft,
when I give the word,
move the barrier
to protect only Sontaran ships.
Boy, is he in for a surprise.
Welcome, Dalek and Cyber comrades!
All Dalek battalions
are aligned here!
We accept the offer of protection
against the Flux event!
Cyber battalions are amassed.
We accept a truce
for mutually assured survival.
LAUGHTER
Lupari ships are moving
and reforming!
This is a betrayal!
Cyber Fleet trapped
in the pull of the Flux.
What is the meaning of this?
The meaning is victory for Sontar!
Sontar-ha!
I have done all I can, Doctor.
Lupari shield,
you are in the wrong formation!
Resume protective placing!
No.
Where are my soldiers?
Unconscious. Don't you think
I know Lupari ships inside out?
Like how to send a stun pulse
to incapacitate intruders?
And how to remotely control
the fleet formation?
You are not in control.
We are. And this is for my people.
Ugh!
What is happening?!
This is
Serving Commander Inston-Vee-Vinder
of Kasto-Winfer-Foxfell,
on a Lupari craft, blasting
the hell out of your comms systems!
Whoo!
Blasting Sontaran comms is
the family business!
Right, Tigmi?
All Sontaran ships, evacuate!
I'm afraid my friends just took out
your comms transmitters,
and in seven seconds, you'll be in
the gravitational pull of the Flux.
Vinder, Bel, get clear!
Clear, Doctor! So clear!
This was YOUR strategy.
Anti-matter slowed
by absorbing army fleets.
Argh!
You will suffer for this, Doctor!
Doctor to Jericho, I know your
transmat ring is out of service,
but get yourself to a transport pod
just out in the corridor.
I'm afraid my options for exiting
are...rather non-existent.
I can't get the TARDIS in
because of the pull of the Flux.
I've lived more in my time with you
than I did during the previous
two decades.
Who has had a life like mine?
I have you now, nameless human!
I, sir,
am Professor Eustacius Jericho.
Scourge of scoundrels!
I wish I'd written that
autobiography - what a good title.
By the wrath of Sontar,
I will now execute you!
I really don't think
you're going to have time.
Arghhh!
What an awfully big adventure.
Jericho.
Some of the Flux is going to make it
through the Lupari shield.
It's not enough.
We thought about that. There's a
way to deal with the remnants of it.
Right, what were you telling me?
The Passenger form - inside is
endless endless matter.
Can't you use that
to absorb what's left of the Flux?
Diane, you may have just saved
the rest of the universe.
Told you
those things underestimated me.
If we summon and open
the Passenger form,
the Flux'll be drawn inside it -
neutrally assured extinction.
Yes.
DOCTOR: And there it is.
I knew you'd have some use!
Hoover up that Flux for us.
Our Saviour.
I always wondered
what Time would look like.
Ah, way to play to your ego.
Saviour.
We have come to release you.
And yet I'm still encaged
in this pitiful realm of Atropos.
No. Soon the Flux...
The Flux is extinguished.
What?! You bring me here
to announce you've failed.
Sure you pressed the right button?
I warned you not to play games
with us, Doctor.
I've been with you the whole time.
Well, most of me has.
So, however much you wanted to break
Time out of prison, you just have
to make do with visiting hours.
They didn't even bring you a cake.
We brought you, Doctor.
Take her.
The Timeless Child.
As sacrifice, she is yours.
But how would I reward your failure,
my servants?
GASPING
Ascension!
Nice look!
Quite fancy that coat.
Oh, I get how that ego appeal thing
works now.
My turn now, is it?
My reckoning?
No.
Oh.
Really?
You can leave here.
But you won't outrun me.
Your time is heading to its end.
No.
It's not.
You're wrong.
Nothing is forever.
No regeneration.
No life.
Beware of the forces
that mass against you.
WHISPERS: And their Master.
What do you mean?
What do you mean, "their Master"?
I restore you, Doctor.
Reunify you.
But for how long?
You OK?
I'm whole again.
Am I?
Yes, it feels that way.
I had a reckoning with Time.
Wait.
One thing left undone.
I know you're here, Kate.
Time to stop hiding.
Yeah, it's not her
you should be worrying about.
Who are you?
Now, that's the question.
Do you have any idea what
I've been through, because of you?
Perhaps you're mistaking me
for someone else. No.
I've waited a long time for this.
What are you going to do,
shoot me?
It's better than that.
Open door seven, please, Prentis.
I knew you were skulking down here!
And yet, in your arrogance,
you came alone.
Open door seven.
You want to know who I am?
I'm the man
who understands the pain of exile.
I'm sorry for what the Sontarans
did to the Lupari.
You think saddling me with these two
will make up for it?
I'm dropping everyone off,
first opportunity I get.
We'll see! I've got quite attached
to this ship now!
Yeah,
we could do a bit of exploring,
pick up some work, get into trouble,
get out of trouble.
One family and their dog.
I wish I'd never saved your life.
You're not staying. Any of you!
This is MY ship! Well, then,
we'll, er, leave you to it.
DOOR CREAKS
DOOR CLOSES
I should've stayed with the
professor. You risked your life.
You got
the information that we needed.
Yaz is right - none of us would be
here without you.
Or you, Doctor.
Thank you. As always.
Where would Earth be without you?
Always glad to help.
I like this regeneration.
Hope I meet it again.
I hope so too.
Look after yourself, Kate Stewart.
DAN: Nobody REALLY knows, to this
day, why he built the tunnels.
They're still excavating them now.
You should go and have a look
while you're here. Dan?
I'll leave yous.
Have a nice evening.
What you doing?
Wanted to see how you were.
Listen, I booked a table
at the Rivera, tomorrow night.
I thought we could finally
get that drink.
Do you mind if we don't?
I wasn't late.
It wasn't my fault.
Maybe not tomorrow.
I'd better...
Yeah. Yeah...
Need a lift anywhere?
Why, where you going?
No idea.
Wanna come?
First left, ninth right,
and then third left.
Bedroom corridor.
Get yourself settled in properly.
Yaz...
I'm sorry.
I didn't let you in...
..to what I was doing.
Going after Karvanista.
What I was looking for.
I shouldn't have shut you out.
No. You shouldn't have.
I was looking for...
..information...
..about me.
A life I never knew.
I want to tell you everything.
I'd like that.
Did you say left or right?
Come on, Scouse,
let Yorkshire show you the way.
OVERLAPPING WHISPERS
Do me a favour.
Keep this safe.
Somewhere deep within this TARDIS.
Somewhere I can never find it.
Unless I really ask for it.
Happy Nearly New Year.
Here we are again.
Yeah. Yeah. Here we are again.
Exterminate! Not like this.
