"There's still no word from inside Downing Street." "Though we are getting even more new arrivals." "We are the Slitheen." "Reduce the Earth to molten slag then sell it." "Leave this planet or I'll stop you." "The world is in your hands." "I've checked the figures." "I've checked them again and again." "Always the same result." "The design is not safe." "It could result in the death of millions." "I beg of you, stop the project right now before it's too late." "Well, goodness me!" "Obviously, Mr Cleaver, you're the expert." "Then, you'll stop it?" "It seems I have no choice." "Oh, do excuse me." " Civic duties leave little time for a sandwich." " But you promise you'll stop it today?" "Well, of course!" "Nothing is more important than human life." "What do you take me for?" "Some sort of maniac?" "Why, no." "Am I right in thinking you've shown your results only to me?" " Just to you, no one else." " Wise move." "I can't tell you, Mrs Blaine, this is such a weight off my mind." "I've barely slept." "I couldn't believe my own readings." "The scale of it." "Destruction like the British Isles has never seen before." "If I didn't know better, I'd almost think that someone wanted this project to go wrong." "As though they intended this city should be wiped off the map." "Thank goodness we've got you, our esteemed leader." "Who the hell are you?" "What do you mean, who the hell am I?" "Who the hell are you?" "Captain Jack Harkness." "Whatever you're selling, we're not buying." "Get out of my way!" "Don't tell me, this must be Mickey." "Here comes trouble." "How you doing, Ricky boy?" " It's Mickey." " Don't listen to him, he's winding you up." "You look fantastic." "Aw, sweet." "Look at these two." "How come I never get any of that?" " Buy me a drink first." " You're such hard work." "But worth it." "Did you manage to find it?" " There you go." " I can go anywhere now." "I've told you, you don't need a passport." "It's all very well going to Platform One and Justicia and the Glass Pyramid of San Kaloon, but what if we end up in Brazil?" "I might need it." "You see, I'm prepared for anything." "Sounds like you're staying, then." "So, what are you doing in Cardiff?" "And who the hell's Jumping Jack Flash?" "I don't mind you hanging out with Big Ears up there." " Oi!" " Look in the mirror." " But this guy, I don't know, he's kind of..." " Handsome?" "More like cheesy." "Early 21 st century slang." "Is cheesy good or bad?" " It's bad." " But bad means good, isn't that right?" "You saying I'm not handsome?" "We've just stopped off, we need to refuel." "The thing is, Cardiff's got this rift running through the middle of the city." "It's invisible, but it's like an earthquake fault between different dimensions." "The rift was healed back in 1869..." "Thanks to a girl named Gwyneth because these creatures called the Gelth were using the rift as a gateway, but she saved the world and closed it." "But closing a rift always leaves a scar and that scar generates energy, harmless to the human race..." "But perfect for the Tardis." "Just park here for a couple of days, right on top of the scar and..." "Open up the engines, soak up the radiation..." "Like filling her up with petrol and off we go." " Into time." " And space." "My God, have you seen yourselves?" "You all think you're so clever, don't you?" " Yeah." " Yeah." "Yeah." "Should take another 24 hours which means we've got time to kill." "That old lady's staring." "Probably wondering what four people can do inside a small wooden box." "What are you captain of?" "The Innuendo Squad?" "Wait, the Tardis, you can't just leave it." "Doesn't it get noticed?" "Yeah, what's with the police box?" "Why does it look like that?" " It's a cloaking device." " It's called a chameleon circuit." "The Tardis is meant to disguise itself wherever it lands." "Like, if this was ancient Rome, it'd be a statue on a plinth or something." "But I landed in the 1960s, it disguised itself as a police box and the circuit got stuck." "So, it copied a real thing?" "There actually was police boxes?" "Yeah, on street corners." "You could phone for help before they had radios and mobiles." "If they arrested somebody, they could shove them inside till help came." " Like a little prison cell." " Why don't you just fix the circuit?" " I like it, don't you?" " I love it." "But that's what I meant, there's no police boxes anymore so doesn't it get noticed?" "Ricky, let me tell you something about the human race." "You put a mysterious blue box slap-bang in the middle of town, what do they do?" "Walk past it." "Now, stop your nagging, let's go and explore." " What's the plan?" " I don't know." "Cardiff, early 21 st century, and the wind's coming from the... east." "Trust me." "Safest place in the universe." "This nuclear power station right in the heart of Cardiff city will bring jobs for all." "As you can see, as Lord Mayor," "I've had to sanction some radical redevelopments." "No photographs!" "What did I say?" "Take pictures of the project, by all means, but not me, thank you." "So, Cardiff Castle will be demolished, allowing the Blaidd Drwg project to rise up, tall and proud." "A monument to Welsh industry." "And, yes, some of you might shiver." "The words "nuclear power station" and "major population centre"" "aren't exactly the happiest of bedfellows." "But I give you my personal guarantee that as long as I walk upon this Earth, no harm will come to any of my citizens." "Now, drink up!" "A toast, to the future." "To the future." "And believe me... it will glow." "Mrs Blaine, my name's Cathy Salt." "I represent the Cardlff Gazette." "I'm sorry, I'm not doing interviews." "I can't bear self-publicity." " But are you aware of the curse?" " Whatever do you mean?" " Cathy, wasn't it?" " Cathy Salt." "That's what some of your engineers are saying, that the Blaidd Drwg project is cursed." "Sounds rather silly to me." "That's what I thought, I was just chasing a bit of local colour." "But the funny thing is, when you start piecing it all together, it does begin to look a bit odd." " In what way?" " The deaths." "The number of deaths associated with this project." "First of all, there was the entire team of the European Safety Inspectors." "But they were French." "It's not my fault if "Danger Explosives" was only written in Welsh." "And there was that accident with the Cardiff Heritage Committee." "The electrocution of that swimming pool was put down to natural wear and tear." "And then the architect?" "It was raining, visibility was low, my car simply couldn't stop." "And then just recently, Mr Cleaver, the government's nuclear adviser." "Slipped on an icy patch." " He was decapitated." " It was a very icy patch." "I'm afraid these stories are nothing more than typical small-town thinking." "I really haven't got time." "If you'll excuse me." "Except before he died, Mr Cleaver posted some of his findings online." " Did he now?" " Lf you know where to look." " He was concerned about the reactor." " All that technical stuff." "Specifically, that the design of the suppression pool would cause the hydrogen recombiners to fail, precipitating in the collapse of the containment isolation system and resulting in a meltdown." " Who's been doing her homework?" " That's my job." "I think..." "Cathy Salt..." "I think you and I should have a word in private." "Oh!" "My little tummy is complaining." "I think we might have to make a detour to the ladies'." " I'll wait here." " Come on." "All girls together." "So, you were saying?" "These outlandish theories of yours." " Sounds like we got here just in time." " Continue." "Well, I don't know much about nuclear physics, but from what I could make out," "Cleaver was saying that the whole project could go up, worse than Chernobyl." "Is there something wrong with the lights?" "They're always on the blink." "I can't tell you how many memos I've sent." "So, Chernobyl?" "Apparently, but a thousand times worse." "I mean, it sounds absurd, there must be so many safety regulations." "But Cleaver seemed to be talking about a nuclear holocaust." "He almost made it sound deliberate." "I mean, we're hardly the Sunday Times, we're only the Cardlff Gazette, but we still have a duty to report the facts." "And you're going to print this information?" "Are you all right?" "You sound a bit..." "Sore throat." "Just a little tickle." "But tell me, do you intend to make this information public?" "I have to." "So be it." "Mind you, my boyfriend thinks I'm mad." "We're getting married next month and he says if I cause a fuss, I could lose my job, just when we need the money." " Boyfriend?" " Jeffrey." "Civil servant." "He's nothing exciting, but he's mine." " When's the wedding?" " The 19th." "It's really just to stop my mother from nagging, but the baby sort of clinched it, I suppose." "You're with child?" "Three months, it's not showing yet." "Wasn't planned, it was an accident." "Nice accident, though." " Congratulations." " Thank you." " How about you?" " No." " Is there a Mr Blaine?" " Not anymore." "I'm all on my own." "I had quite a sizeable family once upon a time." "Wonderful brothers." "Oh, they were bold." "But all of them gone, now." "Maybe you're right." "Maybe I'm cursed." "No, I don't think so, not really." "You're very kind." "If you don't mind, I might be a while." "You run along." "Perhaps we could do this another day." " Are you all right?" " Fine." "Okay, I tell you what, I'll leave my details with your office." "Thanks for talking." "Thank you." " I swear!" " You're lying through your teeth!" "It turns out the white things are tusks, and I mean, tusks!" "And it's woken and it's not happy." " How could you not know it was there?" " We're standing there, 15 of us, naked." "And I'm like, "No, it's got nothing to do with me."" "And then it roars, and we're running." "My God, we are running." "And Brakovitch falls so I turn to him and I say..." " I knew we should have turned left!" " That's my line!" "I don't believe you, I don't believe a word you say, ever." "That is so brilliant!" "Did you ever get your clothes back?" "No, I just picked him up and went right for the ship." "Full throttle, didn't stop till I hit the space lanes." "I was shaking!" "It was unbelievable!" "Freaked me out." "And by the time I got there," "I was 15 light years away and I realised I'm like this..." "And I was having such a nice day." "According to Intelligence, the target is the last surviving member of the Slitheen family." "A criminal sect from the planet Rexicoricophalvitorius masquerading as a human being, zipped inside a skin suit." "Okay, plan of attack." "We assume a basic 57-56 strategy, covering all available exits on the ground floor." "Doctor, you go face to face, that'll designate Exit 1." "I'll cover Exit 2." "Rose, you Exit 3," "Mickey Smith, you take Exit 4." "Have you got that?" "Excuse me, who's in charge?" "Sorry, awaiting orders, sir." "Right, here's the plan." "Like he said." "Nice plan." "Anything else?" " Present arms." " Ready." " Ready." " Ready." " Speed dial?" " Yeah." " Ready." " Check." "See you in hell." "Hello, I've come to see the Lord Mayor." "Have you got an appointment?" "No, just an old friend passing by, bit of a surprise." "Can't wait to see her face." "Well, she's just having a cup of tea." "Just go in there and tell her the Doctor would like to see her." "Doctor who?" "Just the Doctor." "Tell her exactly that, the Doctor." "Hang on a tick." "The Lord Mayor says thank you for popping by." "She'd love to have a chat but she's up to her eyes in paperwork." "Perhaps if you could make an appointment for next week?" "She's climbing out of the window, isn't she?" "Yes, she is." " Slitheen heading north." " On my way." "Over and out." "Oh, my God!" "Leave the Mayor alone!" "Margaret!" " Who's on Exit 4?" " That was Mickey!" " Here I am." " Mickey the idiot." "Be fair, she's not exactly gonna outrun us, is she?" "She's got a teleport!" "That's cheating." "Now, we're never gonna get her!" "The Doctor's very good at teleports." "I could do this all day." "This is persecution." "Why can't you leave me alone?" "What did I ever do to you?" "You tried to kill me and destroy this entire planet." "Apart from that." "So, you're a Slitheen, you're on Earth, you're trapped." "Your family get killed, but you teleport out, just in the nick of time." "You have no means of escape, what do you do?" "You build a nuclear power station." "But what for?" "A philanthropic gesture." "I've learnt the error of my ways." "And it just so happens to be right on top of the rift." " What rift would that be?" " A rift in space and time." "If this power station went into meltdown, the entire planet would go..." "This station is designed to explode the minute it reaches capacity." "Didn't anyone notice?" "Isn't there someone in London checking this sort of stuff?" "We're in Cardiff." "London doesn't care." "The South Wales coast could fall into the sea and they wouldn't notice." "Oh!" "I sound like a Welshman." "God help me, I've gone native." "But why would she do that?" "A great big explosion, she'd only end up killing herself." " She's got a name, you know." " She's not even a she, she's a thing." "Oh, but she's clever." "Fantastic!" "Is that a tribophysical waveform macro-kinetic extrapolator?" "Couldn't have put it better myself." "Genius!" "You didn't build this?" "I have my hobbies, a little tinkering." "No, I mean, you really didn't build this." "Way beyond you." " I bet she stole it." " It fell into my hands." " Is it a weapon?" " It's transport." "You see, if the reactor blows, the rift opens." "Phenomenal cosmic disaster." "But this thing shrouds you in a force-field." "You have this energy bubble..." "So you're safe." "Then you feed it coordinates, stand on top and ride the concussion all the way out of the solar system." " It's a surfboard." " A pan-dimensional surfboard, yeah." "And it would've worked." "I'd have surfed away from this dead-end dump and back to civilisation." "You'd blow up a whole planet just to get a lift?" "Like stepping on an ant hill." "How did you think of the name?" "What?" "Blaidd Drwg?" "It's Welsh." "I know, but how did you think of it?" "I chose it at random, that's all, I don't know." "Just sounded good." "Does it matter?" "Blaidd Drwg." " What's it mean?" " "Bad Wolf."" "But I've heard that before." "Bad Wolf." "I've heard that lots of times." "Everywhere we go, two words, following us." "Bad Wolf." "How can they be following us?" "No, just a coincidence." "Like hearing a word on the radio then hearing it all day." "Never mind." "Things to do." "Margaret, we're gonna take you home." "Hold on, isn't that the easy option?" "Like letting her go?" "I don't believe it, we actually get to go to Rexi..." "Wait a minute, Rexicor..." "Rexicoricophalvitorius." " Rexicorico..." " Phalvitorius." " Rexicoricophalvitorius!" " That's it!" "I did it!" "They have the death penalty." "The family Slitheen was tried in its absence many years ago and found guilty." "With no chance of appeal." "According to the statutes of government, the moment I return, I'm to be executed." "What do you make of that, Doctor?" "Take me home and you take me to my death." "Not my problem." "This ship is impossible!" "It's superb!" "How do you get the outside around the inside?" "Like I'd give you the secret, yeah." "I almost feel better about being defeated." "I never stood a chance." "This is the technology of the gods." "Don't worship me, I'd make a very bad god." "You wouldn't get a day off, for starters." "Jack, how we doing, big fella?" "This extrapolator's top of the range." "Where did you get it?" "I don't know, some airlock sale." "Must've been a great, big heist." "It's stacked with power." " But we can use it for fuel?" " It's not compatible." "But it should knock off about 12 hours." " We'll be ready to go by morning." " Then we're stuck here, overnight." "I'm in no hurry." "We've got a prisoner." "The police box is really a police box." "You're not just police, though." "Since you're taking me to my death, that makes you my executioners." "Each and every one of you." "You deserve it." "You're very quick to say so." "And you're very quick to soak your hands in my blood." "Which makes you better than me how, exactly?" "Long night ahead." "Let's see who can look me in the eye." "It's freezing out here." "Better than in there." "She does deserve it, she's a Slitheen, I don't care." "It's just weird in that box." "I didn't really need my passport." "I've been thinking, you know, we could go have a drink." "Have a pizza or something, just you and me." "That'd be nice." "And, I mean, if the Tardis can't leave until morning..." "We could go to a hotel." "Spend the night." "I mean, if you want to." "I've got some money." "Okay, yeah." " Is that all right?" " Yeah." "Cool, there's a couple of bars round here, we should give them a go." "Do you have to go and tell him?" "It's none of his business." "So, what's on?" "Nothing, just..." "I gather it's not always like this." "Having to wait." "I bet you're always the first to leave, Doctor." "Never mind the consequences, off you go." "You butchered my family and then ran for the stars, am I right?" "But not this time." "At last, you have consequences." " How does it feel?" " I didn't butcher them." "Don't answer back, that's what she wants." "I didn't." "What about you?" "You had an emergency teleport, you didn't zap them to safety, did you?" "It only carries one." "I had to fly without coordinates." "I ended up in a skip on the Isle of Dogs." " It wasn't funny." " Sorry." "It is a bit funny." "Do I get a last request?" "Depends what it is." "I grew quite fond of my little human life." "All those rituals." "The brushing of the teeth and the complicated way they cook things." "There's a little restaurant, just round the Bay." "It became quite a favourite of mine." " Is that what you want?" "A last meal?" " Don't I have rights?" "Like she's not gonna try to escape." "Except I can never escape the Doctor so where's the danger?" "I wonder if you could do it." "To sit with a creature you're about to kill and take supper." " How strong is your stomach?" " Strong enough." "I wonder." "I've seen you fight your enemies." "Now dine with them." " You won't change my mind." " Prove it." "There are people out there." "If you slip away just for one second, they'll be in danger." "Except, I've got these." "You both wear one." "If she moves more than ten feet away..." "She gets zapped by 10,000 volts." "Margaret, would you like to come out to dinner?" "My treat." "Dinner in bondage." "Works for me." "Here we are, out on a date, and you haven't even asked my proper name." "It's not a date." " What's your name?" " Blon." "I'm Blon Fel Fotch Passameer-Day Slitheen" "That's what it'll say on my death certificate." " Nice to meet you, Blon." " I'm sure." "Look, that's where I was living as Margaret." "Nice little flat, over there on the top." "Next to the one with the light on." "Two bedrooms, bayside view." "I was rather content." "Don't suppose I'll see it again." "Suppose not." " Thank you." " Pleasure." "Tell me, then, Doctor, what do you know of our species?" "Only what I've seen." "Did you know, for example, in extreme cases, when her life is in danger, a female Rexicoricophalvitorian can manufacture a poison dart within her own finger." "Yes, I did." "Just checking." "And one more thing." "Between you and me..." "As a final resort, the excess poison can be exhaled through the lungs." "That's better." "Now then, what do you think?" "Steak looks nice." "Steak and chips!" "The Doctor took me to this planet a while back." "It was much colder than this." "They called it Woman Wept." "The planet was actually called Woman Wept because if you looked at it, right, from above, it was like this huge continent, like, all curved round." "It sort of looked like a woman, you know, lamenting." "Oh, my God, and we went to this beach, right." "No people, no buildings, just this beach, like, 1,000 miles across." "And something happened, something to do with the sun, I don't know, but the sea had just frozen." "In a split second." "In the middle of a storm, right, waves and foam, just frozen, all the way out to the horizon." "Midnight, right, we walk underneath these waves, 100 feet tall and made of ice." "I'm going out with Trisha Delaney." "Oh, right." "That's nice." " Trisha from the shop?" " Yeah, Rob Delaney's sister." "Well, she's nice." " She's a bit big." " She lost weight." "You've been away." "Well, good for you." "She's nice." " So, tell us more about this planet, then." " That was it, really." "Public execution is a slow death." "They prepare a thin acetic acid, lower me into the cauldron... and boil me." "The acidity is perfectly gauged to strip away the skin." "Internal organs fall out into the liquid and I become soup." "And still alive." "Still screaming." " I don't make the law." " But you deliver it." "Will you stay to watch?" "What else can I do?" "The Slitheen family's huge." "There's a lot more of us, all scattered off-world." "Take me to them." "Take me somewhere safe." " But then you'll just start again." " I promise I won't." "You've been in that skin suit too long." "You've forgotten." "There used to be a real Margaret Blaine." "You killed her and stripped her and used the skin." "You're pleading for mercy out of a dead woman's lips." "Perhaps I have got used to it." "A human life, an ordinary life." "That's all I'm asking." "Give me a chance, Doctor." " I can change." " I don't believe you." " So, what do you want to do now?" " Don't mind." "We could ask about hotels." "What would Trisha Delaney say?" "I suppose." "There's a bar down there with a Spanish name..." "You don't even like Trisha Delaney!" "Is that right?" "What the hell do you know?" "I know you and I know her and I know that's never gonna happen." " So, who do you think you're kidding?" " At least I know where she is!" "There we are, then." "It's got nothing to do with Trisha." "This is all about me, isn't it?" "You left me!" "We were nice, we were happy." "And then what?" "You give me a kiss and run off with him and you make me feel like nothing, Rose." "I was nothing!" "I can't even go out with a stupid girl from a shop because you pick up the phone and I comes running." "I mean, is that what I am, Rose, standby?" "Am I just supposed to sit here for the rest of my life waiting for you?" " Because I will." " I'm sorry." "I promise you I've changed since we last met, Doctor." "There was this girl, just today." "Young thing." "And something of a danger." "She was getting too close." "I felt the blood lust rising, just as the family taught me." "I was going to kill her without a thought." "And then..." "I stopped." "She's alive somewhere, right now." "She's walking round this city because I can change." "I did change." " I know I can't prove it." " I believe you." "Then you know I'm capable of better." "It doesn't mean anything." "I spared her life." "You let one of them go." "But that's nothing new." "Every now and then a little victim's spared." "Because she smiled." "Because he's got freckles." "Because they begged." "And that's how you live with yourself." "That's how you slaughter millions." "Because once in a while, on a whim, if the wind's in the right direction... you happen to be kind." "Only a killer would know that." "Is that right?" "From what I've seen, your funny little happy-go-lucky life leaves devastation in its wake." "Always moving on because you dare not go back." "Playing with so many people's lives, you might as well be a god." "And you're right, Doctor." "You're absolutely right." "Sometimes, you let one go." "Let me go." "I'm not asking you to leave him because I know that's not fair." "But I just need something, yeah, some sort of promise that when you do come back, you're coming back for me." " Is that thunder?" " Does it matter?" "That's not thunder." "In the family Slitheen, we had no choice." "I was made to carry out my first kill at 13." "If I'd refused, my father would have fed me to the Venom Grubs." "If I'm a killer, it's because I was born to kill." "It's all I know." "Doctor, are you even listening to me?" " Can you hear that?" " I'm begging for my life." "No, listen, shush." "Go on, then, run." "It's him again, isn't it?" "It's the Doctor." "It's always the Doctor." "It's always gonna be the Doctor." "It's never me!" "The handcuffs!" " Don't think you're running away." " I'm sticking with you." "Some date this turned out to be!" "It's the rift." "The rift's opening." " What the hell are you doing?" " It just went crazy!" "It's the rift." "Time and space are ripping apart." "The whole city's going to disappear." "It's the extrapolator." "I've disconnected it, but it's still feeding off the engine." "It's using the Tardis, I can't stop it." "Never mind Cardiff, it's gonna rip open the planet!" "What is it?" "What's happening?" "Just little me." "One wrong move and she snaps like a promise." "I might have known." "I've had you bleating all night, poor baby." "Now, shut it." "You, fly boy." "Put the extrapolator at my feet." "Thank you." "Just as I planned." "I thought you needed to blow up the nuclear power station." "Failing that, if I were to be arrested, then anyone capable of tracking me down would have considerable technology of their own." "Therefore, they would be captivated by the extrapolator." "Especially a magpie-mind like yours, Doctor." "So, the extrapolator was programmed to go to Plan B." "To lock on to the nearest alien power source and open the rift." "And what a power source it found." "I'm back on schedule." "Thanks to you." "The rift's gonna convulse, you'll destroy the whole planet." "And you with it." "While I ride this board over the crest of the inferno, all the way to freedom." "Stand back, boys." "Surf's up." "Of course, opening the rift means you'll pull this ship apart." "So sue me." "It's not just any old power source." "It's the Tardis, my Tardis." "The best ship in the universe." "It'll make wonderful scrap." " What's that light?" " The heart of the Tardis." "This ship's alive." "You've opened its soul." "It's... so bright." "Look at it, Margaret." "Beautiful." "Look inside, Blon Fel Fotch." "Look at the light." "Thank you." "Don't look, stay there, close your eyes!" "Now, Jack, come on, shut it all down." "Shut down." "Rose, that panel over there, turn all switches to the right." "Nicely done." "Thank you, all." "What happened to Margaret?" " Must've got burned up." " Carried out her own death sentence." "No, I don't think she's dead." "Then where'd she go?" "She looked into the heart of the Tardis." "Even I don't know how strong that is." "And the ship's telepathic, like I told you, Rose." "Gets inside your head, translates alien languages." "Maybe the raw energy can translate all sorts of thoughts." " Here she is." " She's an egg?" " Regressed to her childhood." " She's an egg?" "She can start again." "Live her life from scratch." "If we take her home, give her to a different family, tell them to bring her up properly, she might be all right." " Or she might be worse." " That's her choice." " She's an egg." " She's an egg." "Oh, my God, Mickey." "We're all powered up, we can leave." "Opening the rift filled us up with energy." " We can go." "If that's all right." " Yeah, fine." " How's Mickey?" " He's okay." "He's gone." "Do you want to go and find him?" "We'll wait." "No need." "He deserves better." "Off we go, then." "Always moving on." "Next stop, Rexicoricophalvitorius." "Now, you don't often get to say that." "We'll stop by and pop her in the hatchery." "Margaret the Slitheen can live her life again." "A second chance." "That'd be nice." "You got chosen, you're a housemate." "You're in the house, isn't that brilliant?" "Welcome to the Weakest Llnk." "We are giving you a brand-new image." "Why?" "Is there something wrong with what I'm wearing?" " What was that?" " She's been evicted." "This isn't just a game." "I need to find the Doctor, he's here somewhere, he's always here!" "There's something else going on." "We have contestants outside the games." "My Masters, they fear the Doctor." "Tell me, who are they?" "That's impossible, I know those ships, they were destroyed." "Obviously they survived." "Alert." "Alert." "We are detected." "The Fourth Great and Bountlful Human Emplre." "Every single fact in the Empire beams out of this place." "Now, that's what I call power." "Six hundred channels, all coming out of Satellite Five, broadcasting everywhere." "This technology's wrong." " Trouble?" " Oh, yeah." "This is not the Fourth Great and Bountiful Human Empire." "It's a place where humans are allowed to live by kind permission of my client." "Who controls Satellite Five?" "The Mighty Jagrafess of the Holy Hadrojassic Maxarodenfoe." "You mean that thing's in charge of Satellite Five?" "Once you go to Floor 500, you never come back." "You'll have to stay and explain it, no one's going to believe me." "They might start believing a lot of things now." "The human race should accelerate, all back to normal." "What's happening?" "Oh, my God!" "I don't believe it!" "Why did they put you in there?" "They never said you were coming." "What happened?" "I was..." "Careful now." "Ooh, mind yourself." "That's the transmat, it scrambles your head." "I was sick for days." "All right?" "So, what's your name, then, sweetheart?" "The Doctor, I think." "I was..." "I don't know." "What happened?" "You got chosen." "Chosen for what?" "You're a housemate!" "You're in the house." "Isn't that brilliant?" "That's not fair, we've got eviction in five minutes!" "I've been here for all nine weeks, I've followed the rules," "I haven't had a single warning, then he comes swanning in." "If they keep changing the rules, I'm gonna protest, I am." "You watch me." "I'm gonna paint the walls." "Would the Doctor please come to the Dlary Room?" "You are live on Channel 44,000." "Please do not swear." "You have got to be kidding." "What happened?" "It's all right, it's the transmat." "It does your head in." "You get a bit of amnesia." "What's your name?" "Rose." "But where's the Doctor?" "Just remember, do what the android says." "Don't provoke it." "The android's word is law." "What do you mean, android?" "Like a robot?" "Positions, everyone." "Thank you!" "Come on, hurry up." "Steady." "I was travelling... with the Doctor and a man called Captain Jack." "The Doctor wouldn't just leave me..." "That's enough chat." "Positions, final call." "Good luck." "But I'm not supposed to be here." "It says Rose on the podium." "Come on." "Hold on, I must be going mad." "It can't be." "This looks like..." "Android activated!" "Oh, my God, the android." "The Anne... droid." "Welcome to The Weakest Llnk." " Here we go again." " We've got our work cut out for us." "I don't know, he's sort of handsome." "Has a good lantern jaw." "Lantern jaws are so last year." "Sorry, but, nice to meet you, ladies, but where exactly am I?" "We're giving you a brand-new Image." "Hold on, I was with the Doctor." "Why, is there something wrong with what I'm wearing?" "It's all very 20th century." "Where did you get that denim?" "A little place in Cardiff." "It was called The Top Shop." "Deslgn classlcl" "But we're going to have to find you some new colours, maybe get rid of that "Oklahoma farm boy" thing you've got going on." "Just stand still and let the defabrlcator work Its magic." "What's the defabricator?" "Okay." "Defabricator." "Does exactly what it says on the tin." "Am I naked in front of millions of viewers?" "Absolutelyl" "Ladies... your viewing figures just went up." "Can't open it." "It's got a deadlock seal." "Ever since Big Brother 504 when they all walked out, you must remember that?" "What about this?" "That's Exoglass." "You need a nuclear bomb to get through." "Don't tempt me." "I know you're not supposed to talk about the outside world, but you must've been watching." "Do people like me?" "Lynda, Lynda with a "Y" not Linda with an "l"." "She got forcibly evicted 'cause she damaged a camera." "Am I popular?" " I don't remember." " Does that mean I'm nothing?" "Some people get this far 'cause they're insignificant." "Doesn't anybody notice me?" "No, you're... nice, you're sweet." "Everybody thinks you're sweet." "Oh?" "Is that right?" "Is that what I am?" "No one's ever told me that before." "Am I sweet?" "Really?" "Yeah." "Dead sweet." "Thank you." "It's a wall." "Isn't there supposed to be a garden out there?" "Don't be daft, no one's got a garden anymore." "Who's got a garden?" "Don't tell me you've got a garden!" "No, I've just got the Tardis." "I remember." "That's the amnesia!" "So, what happened?" "Where did they get you?" "We'd just left Rexicoricophalvitorius." "Then we went to Kyoto." "That's right, Japan, in 1336 and we only just escaped." "We were together, we were laughing and then... there was this light, this white light coming through the walls and then..." "I woke up here." "Yeah, that's the transmat beam." "That's how they pick the housemates." "Oh, Lynda with a "Y"." "Sweet, little Lynda." "It's worse than that." "I'm not just some passing traveller." "No stupid little transmat gets inside my ship." "That beam was 15 million times more powerful." "Which means... this isn't just a game." "There's something else going on." "Well, here's the latest update from the Big Brother house." "I'm getting out." "I'm gonna find my friends." "And then I'm gonna find you." " Need a word." " Hold on, let me finish this." "19, 18... 17, 16, 15..." "Thank you, people, transmitting in... 12, 11, 10..." "I need to find the Doctor..." "Just shut up and play the game." "All right, then." "What the hell, I'm gonna play to win." "...and cue!"

"Llttle dash of pirate and just a tweak of Presldent Schwarzenegger." "Not sure about the vest." "What about a little bit of colour to lift it?" "Absolutely not, never wear black with colour."

"Well, yeah, but I can't vote for myself, so it had to be Fitch." "Sorry, that's the game, that's how it works." "I had to vote for someone." "Let me try again." "It was the lights and everything, I couldn't think..." "In fact, with three answers wrong, Broff was the Weakest Llnk In that round." "But It's votes that countl" "I'm sorry, please."

"Disintegrator beam." "She's been evicted." "From life." "No one programmed the transmat, no one selected new contestants." "It is exactly like those stories." "Don't start that again." "I think you need to take a session off." "I would, if you'd take it with me." "And don't start that again either." "But the rumours go back decades." "Saying that something's been hidden up here." "Underneath the transmissions." "But the Controller would know." "She watches everything." "Maybe she just can't see it." "You've got to allow for human error." "Well, that's your problem, then."

"Blg Brother has no choice but to evict you." "You have 10 seconds to make your farewells and then we're gonna get youl" "That's more like it!" "Come on, then, open up!" "You're mad, it's like you want to die." "I reckon he's a plant, he was only brought in to stir things up." "The Doctor, please leave the Blg Brother house." "Come on, then, disintegrate mel Come on, what are you waiting for?" "He is, he's mad." "He's bonkers!" "I told you to keep an eye on him, not kill him."

"You following this?" "I'm getting outl" " Come with me." " We're not allowed." "Stay in there, you got a 50-50 chance of disintegration." "Stay with me, I promise I'll get you out alive." "Come on!" "No, I can't." "Lynda, you're sweet." "From what I've seen of your world, do you think anybody votes for sweet?" "Hold on." "I've been here before." "This is Satellite Five." "No guards, makes a change." "You'd think a big business like Satellite Five would be armed to the teeth." "No one's called it Satellite Five in ages." "It's the Game Station now." "Hasn't been Satellite Five in about 100 years." "100 years exactly." "It's the year 200100." "I was here before, Floor 139." "The Satellite was broadcasting news channels back then." "Had a bit of trouble upstairs." "Nothing too serious." "Easy, gave them a hand, home in time for tea." "Hundred years ago?" "What?" "You were here 100 years ago?" "Yes." "Well, you're looking good on it." "I moisturise." "Funny sorts of readings." "All kinds of energy." "Place is humming." "It's weird, this goes way beyond normal transmissions." "What would they need all that power for?" "I don't know." "I think we're the first ever contestants to get outside." "I had two friends with me, they must have got caught in the transmat." "Where would they be?" "I don't know, they could have been allocated anywhere." "There's 100 different games." "Like what?" "There's 10 floors of Big Brother, there's a different house behind each of these doors, and then beyond that there's all sorts of shows." "It's nonstop." "There's Call My Bluff, with real guns." "Countdown, where you got 30 seconds to stop the bomb going off." "Ground Force, which is a nasty one." "You get turned into compost." "Wipeout, speaks for itself." "Oh, and Stars In Their Eyes, literally, stars in their eyes." "If you don't sing, you get blinded." "And you watch this stuff?" "Everyone does." "How come you don't?" "Never paid for my licence." "Oh, my God, you get executed for that." "Let them try." "You keep saying things that don't make sense." "Who are you, though, Doctor, really?" "It doesn't matter." "Well, it does to me." "I've just put my life in your hands." "I'm just a traveller wandering past." "Believe it or not, all I'm after is a quiet life." "So, if we get out of here, what are you going to do?" "Just wander off again?" "As fast as I can." "'Cause, erm..." "I could come with you." " Maybe you could." " I wouldn't get in the way." "I wouldn't mind if you did." "Not a bad idea, Lynda with a "Y"." "But first of all, we've got to concentrate on the getting out." "To do that, you've got to know your enemy." "Who's controlling it?" "Who's in charge of the Satellite now?" "Hold on." "Your lords and masters." "Okay, you win, the Controller's got to handle this." "Archive makes a record of all transmat activities." "Find out how he got on board." "Archive 6." "Controller, we have a problem." "Continue working." "We have a security problem." "Continue working." "I'm sorry, but I can't." "We have contestants outside of the games." "But the alarms haven't gone off." "No security, the games continue." "But we can't just let them wander." "They are no one." "They are no one." "I'm sorry, I was just..." "Archive 6 is out of bounds." "I need to check the transmat log." "Archive 6 is out of bounds." "No one may enter Archive 6." "Return to work." "Return to work."

"Planet Earth!" "What's happened to it?" "It's always been like that, ever since I was born." "See that there?" "That's the Great Atlantic Smog Storm, it's been going 20 years." "We get newsflashes telling us when it's safe to breathe outside." "So the population just sits there?" "Half the world's too fat and half the world's too thin and you lot just watch telly?" "10,000 channels." "All beaming down from here." "The human race." "Brainless sheep, being fed on a diet of..." "Have they still got that programme where three people have to live with a bear?" "Bear With Me!" "I love that!" "The celebrity edition where the bear got in the bath." "But it's all gone wrong." "I mean, history's gone wrong." "Again!" "This should be the Fourth Great and Bountiful Human Empire." "I don't understand." "Last time I was here I put it right." "No, but that's when it first went wrong." "100 years ago." "Like you said, all the news channels, they just shut down overnight." "But that was me." "I did that." "There was nothing left in their place." "No information." "The whole planet just froze." "The government, the economy, they collapsed." "That was the start of it. 100 years of hell." "Oh, my..." "I made this world." "That leaves Rose and Rodrlck." "You're going head-to-head." "Let's play The Weakest Llnkl" "Right, that's the end of tactical voting." "You're on your own now." " Hey, handsome, good to see you." " Any sign of Rose?" "Can't you track her down?" "She must still be inside the games." "All the rooms are shielded." "If I can just get inside this computer." "She's got to be here somewhere." "You'd better hurry up, these games don't have a happy ending." "You think I don't know that?" "There you go, patch that in." "It's programmed to find her." " Thanks." " Hey, there." " Hello." " Captain Jack Harkness." " Lynda Moss." " Nice to meet you, Lynda Moss." " Do you mind flirting outside?" " I was just saying hello." "For you, that's flirting." " I'm not complaining." " Muchas gracias." "It's not compatible." "This stupid system doesn't make sense." "This place should be a basic broadcaster." "But the systems are twice as complicated." "It's more than just television." "This station's transmitting something else." " Like what?" " I don't know." "This whole Bad Wolf thing's tied up with me." "Someone's manipulated my entire life." "It's some sort of trap and Rose is stuck inside it." "Rose, In geography, the Grand Central Ravlne Is named after which ancient Brltlsh city?" "Is it York?" "No, the correct answer Is Sheffleld."

" Look out for the Anne Droid, it's armed!" "Back off!" "I need security and I need it here right now!" " It's this lot." " Don't you touch him!" "Leave him alone!" "Sir, put down the gun or I'll have to shoot." "You killed her!" "Your stupid freaking game show killed her!" "Sir, I'm arresting you under Private Legislation 16 of the Game Station..." "Can you tell us the purpose of this device, sir?" "Can you tell us how you got on board?" "Just leave him alone." "I'm asking him." "Sir?" "Can you tell us who you are?"

"Everybody clear, stand to the side and stay there." "Who's in charge of this place?" " This Satellite is more than a Game Station." "...79, 80..." " Who killed Rose Tyler?" "I want an answer." " All staff are reminded that..." "She can't reply." "Don't shoot!" "Don't be so thick, like I was ever gonna shoot." "Captain, we've got more guards on the way up." " Secure the exits." " Yes, sir!" "You!" "What were you saying?" " But I've got your gun." " Okay, so shoot me." "Why can't she answer?" "She's..." "Can I put this down?" " Lf you want, just hurry up." " Thanks." "Sorry." "The Controller is linked into the transmissions." "The entire output goes through her brain." "You're not a member of staff so she doesn't recognise your existence." " What's her name?" " I don't know." "She was installed when she was five." "It's the only life she's ever known." "Doors sealed." "We should be safe for about 10 minutes." "Keep an eye on them."

"You're not allowed in there." "Archive 6 is out of bounds." "Do I look like an out of bounds sort of guy?" "What the hell?" "Solar flare activity in Delta.015." "If you're not holding us hostage then let us out." "The staff are terrified." "That's the same staff who execute hundreds of contestants every day?" "We're just doing our jobs." "And with that sentence you just lost the right to even talk to me, now back off!" "That's just the solar flares." "They interfere with the broadcast signal so this place automatically powers down." "Planet Earth gets a few repeats." "It's all quite normal." "Doctor..." " Doctor?" " Whatever it is, you can wait." "I think she wants you." "Doctor." "Doctor." "Where's the Doctor?" "I'm here." "Can't see." "Blind, so blind." "All my life blind, all I can see is numbers." "But I saw you." " What do you want?" " Solar flares hiding me, they can't hear me." "My Masters listen but they can't hear me now." "The sun is so bright." "Who are your masters?" "They wired my head, the name's forbidden." "They control my thoughts." "My Masters, I had to be careful." "They monitor transmission but they don't watch the programmes." "I could hide you in the games." "I knew that you'd find me." "My friend died inside your games." " Doesn't matter." " Don't dare tell me that!" "They've been hiding." "My Masters, hiding in the dark space." "Watching and shaping the Earth, so many years." "Always been there, guiding humanity." "Hundreds and hundreds of years." "Who are they?" "They wait and plan and grow in numbers, they're strong now." " So strong, my Masters..." " Who are they?"

"Could you stand in that spot?" "Quick as you can." "Everybody watching?" "Okay, 3, 2, 1." " But you killed her." " Oh?" "Do you think?" "What the hell was that?" "It's a transmat beam." "Not a disintegrator." "A secondary transmat system." "People don't get killed in the games." "They get transported across space." "Doctor, Rose is still alive!" "No." "It can't be..." "You're dead." "I saw you die!" " She's out there somewhere." " Doctor!" "Coordinates 5.6.1." "Don't!" "The solar flare's gone, they'll hear you!" "...434." "No, my Masters, no, I defy you!" "Sigma 77..." "They took her." "My Masters." "You can kill me." "For I have brought your destruction." "Use that, it might contain the final numbers." "I kept a log of all the unscheduled transmissions." "Nice, thanks." "Captain Jack Harkness, by the way." " I'm Davitch Pavale." " Nice to meet you, Davitch Pavale." "There's a time and a place." "Are you saying this whole setup's been a disguise all along?" "Going way back." "Installing the Jagrafess 100 years ago." "Someone's been playing a long game." "Controlling the human race from behind the scenes for generations." "Click on this." "The transmat delivers to that point, right on the edge of the solar system." "There's nothing there." "It looks like nothing because that's what this Satellite does!" "Underneath the transmission, there's another signal." " Doing what?" " Hiding whatever's out there." "Hiding it from sonar, radar, scanners." "There's something sitting right on top of planet Earth but it's completely invisible." "If I cancel the signal..." "That's impossible." "I know those ships." "They were destroyed." "Obviously they survived." "Who did?" "Who are they?" "200 ships." "More than 2,000 on board each one." "That's just about half a million of them." "Half a million what?" "Daleks." "Alert." "Alert." "We are detectedl" "It Is the Doctorl He has located us." "Open communications channel." "The female will stand." "Standl" "I wlll talk to the Doctor." "Oh, will you?" "That's nice." "Hello." "The Dalek Stratagem nears completion." "The Fleet Is almost ready." "You will not Intervene." "Oh, really?" "Why's that, then?" "We have your associate." "You will obey or she will be exterminated." "No." "Explaln yourself." "I said, no." "What Is the meaning of this negative?" "It means no." "But she will be destroyedl" "No, 'cause this is what I'm gonna do." "I'm gonna rescue her." "I'm gonna save Rose Tyler from the middle of the Dalek Fleet." "And then I'm gonna save the Earth." "And then, just to finish off," "I'm gonna wipe every last stinking Dalek out of the sky!" "But you have no weaponsl No defencesl No piani" "Yeah." "And doesn't that scare you to death?" "Rose?" "Yes, Doctor?" "I'm coming to get you." "The Doctor Is Inltlatlng hostile action." "The Stratagem must advance." "Begln the Invasion of Earth." "The Doctor will be exterminated." "Extermlnate." "Extermlnate..." "Launch missiles." "Extermlnate." "We've got incoming." "This is it, ladies and gentlemen, we are at war." "There's an army about to Invade this station." "Defences have gone off line." "I'm dead, or about to die any second, with no chance of escape." "How did you survive the Time War?" "They survived through me." "You are the Weakest Llnk." "This isn't just a game." "There's something else going on." " We have contestants outside of the games." " The games continue." "Thls Is Satelllte Flve." "10,000 channels." "All beaming down from here." "My Masters, they fear the Doctor." "Tell me, who are they?" "I saw you die!" " That's Impossible." " They were destroyed." "Obviously they survived." "We have your associate." "You will obey or she will be exterminated." " Rose?" " Yes, Doctor." "I'm coming to get you." "You know the Doctor." "You understand him." " You will predict his actions." " I don't know!" " And even if I did, I wouldn't tell you." " Predlctl Predlctl Predlctl" "Tardls detected In flight." " Launch mlssllesl Extermlnatel" " You can't!" "The Tardis hasn't got any defences." "You're gonna kill him." "You have predicted correctly." "We've got incoming!" "The extrapolator's working." "We've got a fully functional force-field." " Try saying that when you're drunk." " And for my next trick..." "Rose, get down!" " Get down, Rose!" " Extermlnatel" "You did it." " Feels like I haven't seen you in years." " I told you I'd come and get you." " Never doubted it." " I did." "You all right?" " Yeah." "And you?" " Not bad." "Been better." " Don't I get a hug?" " Oh, come here." "I was talking to him." "Welcome home." "Oh!" "I thought I'd never see you again." "You were lucky, that was just a one-shot wonder." "Drained the gun of all its power supply." "Now it's just a piece of junk." "Patlence, my brethren." " You said they were extinct." " How come they're still alive?" "One minute they're the greatest threat in the universe, the next minute they vanished out of time and space." "They went off to fight a bigger war." "The Time War." " I thought that was just a legend." " I was there." "The war between the Daleks and the Time Lords, with the whole of creation at stake." "My people were destroyed but they took the Daleks with them." "I almost thought it was worth it." "And now it turns out they died for nothing." "There's thousands of them now." "We could hardly stop one." "What are we gonna do?" "No good stood round here chinwagging." "Human race, you'd gossip all day." "The Daleks have got the answers." "Let's go and meet the neighbours." "You can't go out there!" " Extermlnatel" " Extermlnatel" "Is that it?" "Useless." "Nul points!" "It's all right, come on out." "That force-field can hold back anything." "Almost anything." "Yes, but I wasn't going to tell them that." "Thanks." "Sorry." "Do you know what they call me in the ancient legends of the Dalek homeworld?" "The Oncoming Storm." "You might have removed all your emotions, but I reckon right down deep in your DNA, there's one little spark left." "And that's fear." "Doesn't it just burn when you face me?" "So tell me, how did you survive the Time War?" "They survived through me." "Rose." "Captain." "This is the Emperor of the Daleks." "You destroyed us, Doctor." "The Dalek race died In your Inferno." "But my ship survived, falling through time, crippled but alive." " I get it..." " Do not Interruptl" " Do not Interruptl" " Do not Interruptl" "I think you're forgetting something." "I'm the Doctor and if there's one thing I can do, it's talk." "I've got five billion languages and you haven't got one way of stopping me." "So if anybody's gonna shut up, it's you!" "Okie-doke." "So, where were we?" "We waited here, In the dark space, damaged but rebuilding." "Centurles passed and we quietly Inflltrated the systems of Earth, harvesting the waste of humanity." "The prisoners, the refugees, the dispossessed, they all came to us." "The bodies were filleted, pulped, sifted." "The seed of the human race Is perverted." "Only one cell In a billion was fit to be nurtured." "So you created an army of Daleks out of the dead." "That makes them half human." "Those words are blasphemyl" " Do not blasphemel" " Do not blasphemel" "Do not blasphemel" "Everythlng human has been purged." "I cultivated pure and blessed Dalek." "Since when did the Daleks have a concept of blasphemy?" "I reached Into the dirt and made new life." "I am the God of all Daleksl" " Worshlp hlml" " Worshlp hlml" "Worshlp hlml" "They're insane." "Hiding in silence for hundreds of years, that's enough to drive anyone mad." "But it's worse than that." "Driven mad by your own flesh." "The stink of humanity." "You hate your own existence." "And that makes them more deadly than ever." " We're going." " You may not leave my presencel" " Stay where you arel" " Extermlnatel" " Extermlnatel" " Extermlnatel" "Extermlnatel Extermlnatel" " Worshlp hlml" " Worshlp hlml" "You will be extermlnatedl" "Turn everything up!" "All transmitters, full power, wide open, now!" "Do it!" "What does this do?" "Stops the Daleks from transmatting on board." "How did you get on?" "Did you contact Earth?" "I tried to warn them, but all they did was suspend our licence 'cause we stopped the programmes." "And the planet's just sitting there." "Defenceless." "Lynda, what are you still doing on board?" "I told you to evacuate everyone!" " She wouldn't go." " I didn't wanna leave you." "There weren't enough shuttles anyway or I wouldn't be here." "We've got about 100 people stranded on Floor Zero." "Listen, my name's Rodrick." "I won the game, where's my money?" "Is anyone listening?" "Where's my money?" "Oh, my God." "The Fleet is moving." "They're on their way!" "Purlfy the Earth with fire." "The planet will become my temple and we shall rise." "Thls will be our paradlsel" "Dalek plan, big mistake, 'cause what've they left me with?" "Anyone?" "Anyone?" "Come on, it's obvious!" "A great big transmitter." "This station!" "If I can change the signal, fold it back, sequence it?" "Anyone?" " You've got to be kidding." " Give the man a medal!" " A Delta Wave?" " A Delta Wave!" " What's a Delta Wave?" " A wave of Van Cassadyne energy." "It fries your brain." "Stand in the way of a Delta Wave and your head gets barbecued." "And this place can transmit a massive wave." "Wipe out the Daleks!" "Get started and do it, then!" "Trouble is, wave this size, building this big, brain as clever as mine, should take about three days." " How long till the Fleet arrive?" " 22 minutes." "We've now got a force-field, so they can't blast us out of the sky." "But that doesn't stop the Daleks from physically invading." " Do they know about the Delta Wave?" " They'll have worked it out at the same time." "So, they want to stop the Doctor." "That means they've got to get to this level, 500." "Now, I can concentrate the extrapolator on the top six levels, 500 to 495." "So they'll penetrate the station below that at level 494 and fight their way up." " Who are they fighting?" " Us." "What are we fighting with?" "The guards had guns with bastic bullets, that's enough to blow a Dalek wide open." "There's five of us." "Rose, you can help me." "I need all these wires stripping bare." " Right, now there's four of us." " Then let's move it!" "Into the lift, isolate the lift controls." "I just wanna say... thanks, I suppose." " And I'll do my best." " Me, too." "It's been fun." " But I guess this is goodbye." " Don't talk like that." "The Doctor's gonna do it, you just watch him." "Rose." "You are worth fighting for." "Wish I'd never met you, Doctor." "I was much better off as a coward." "See you in hell." "He's gonna be all right, isn't he?" "One last time!" "Any more volunteers?" "There's an army about to invade this station." "I need every last citizen to mount a defence." "Don't listen to him!" "There aren't any Daleks." "They disappeared thousands of years ago." "Thanks." "As for the rest of you, the Daleks will enter the station at Floor 494, and as far as I can tell, they'll head up, not down." "But that's not a promise." "So here's a few words of advice." "Keep quiet." "And if you hear fighting up above, if you hear us dying... then tell me that the Daleks aren't real." "Don't make a sound." "Let's go." "Suppose..." " What?" " Nothing." " You said suppose." " No, I was just thinking." "I mean, obviously you can't, but you've got a time machine." "Why can't you just go back to last week and warn them?" "Soon as the Tardis lands, in that second, I become part of events." "Stuck in the timeline." "Yeah, I thought it'd be something like that." "There's another thing the Tardis could do." "It could take us away." "We could leave." "Let history take its course." "We go to Marbella in 1989." " Yeah, but you'd never do that." " No, but you could ask." " Never even occurred to you, did it?" " Well, I'm just too good." "The Delta Wave's started building." "How long does it need?" "Is that bad?" "Okay, it's bad." "How bad is it?" "Rose Tyler, you're a genius!" "We can do it!" "If I use the Tardis to cross my own timeline..." "Yes!" "Hold that down and keep position." " What's it do?" " Cancels the buffers." "If I'm very clever, and I'm more than clever, I'm brilliant," "I might just save the world." "Or rip it apart." " I'd go for the first one." " Me, too." "Now, I've just got to go and power up the Game Station." "Hold on!" "Doctor, what are you doing?" "Can I take my hand off?" "It's moving." "Doctor, let me out!" "Let me out!" "Doctor, what have you done?" "Thls Is Emergency Programme One." "Rose, now listen, this Is Important." "If this message Is activated then It can only mean one thing." "We must be In danger." "And I mean fatal." "I'm dead or about to die any second with no chance of escape." " No!" " And that's okay." "Hope It's a good death." "But I promised to look after you and that's what I'm doing." " The Tardls Is taking you home." " I won't let you!" "And I bet you're fussing and moaning now." "Typlcall" "But hold on and just listen a bit more." "The Tardls can never return for me." "Emergency Programme One means" "I'm facing an enemy that should never get their hands on this machine." "So this Is what you should do, let the Tardls die." "Just let this old box gather dust." "No one can open It, no one will even notice It." "Let It become a strange little thing standing on a street corner." "And over the years the world will move on and the box will be buried." "And If you want to remember me, then you can do one thing." "That's all." "One thing." "Have a good life." "Do that for me, Rose." "Have a fantastic life." "You can't do this to me." "You can't." "Take me back!" "Take me back!" "No!" "Come on, fly." "How do you fly?" "Come on, help me!" "I knew it!" "I was all the way down Clifton Parade and I heard the engines." "I thought, "There's only one thing that makes a noise like that."" "What is it?" "Rose, I've called up the internal laser codes." "There should be a different number on every screen." "Can you read them out to me?" " She's not here." " Of all the times to take a leak!" "When she gets back, tell her to read me the codes." " She's not coming back." " What do you mean?" "Where did she go?" " Just get on with your work." " You took her home, didn't you?" "Yeah." "The Delta Wave." "Is it ever gonna be ready?" "Tell him the truth, Doctor." "There Is every possibility the Delta Wave could be complete but no possibility of refining It." "The Delta Wave must kill every living thing In Its path, with no distinction between human and Dalek." "All things will die." "By your hand." "Doctor, the range of this transmitter covers the entire Earth." "You would destroy Daleks and humans together." "If I am God, the creator of all things, then what does that make you, Doctor?" "There are colonies out there." "The human race would survive in some shape or form." "But you're the only Daleks in existence." "The whole universe is in danger if I let you live." "Do you see, Jack?" "That's the decision I've got to make for every living thing." "Die as a human or live as a Dalek." " What would you do?" " You sent her home." "She's safe." " Keep working." " But he will exterminate youl" "Never doubted him, never will." "Now, you tell me, God of all Daleks, 'cause there's one thing I never worked out." "The words, "Bad Wolf", spread across time and space, everywhere, drawing me in." " How did you manage that?" " I did nothing." "Come on, there's no secrets now, Your Worship." "They are not part of my design." "Thls Is the truth of God." " And it's gone upmarket, this place." " They're doing little tubs of coleslaw now." "It's not very nice." "It tastes a bit sort of clinical." "Have you tried that new pizza place on Minto Road?" " What's it selling?" " Pizza." " That's nice." "Do they deliver?" " Yeah." "Oh, Rose, have something to eat." "200,000 years in the future he's dying and there's nothing I can do." "Like you said, 200,000 years, it's way off." "But it's not, it's now." "That fight is happening right now." "And he's fighting for us!" "For the whole planet!" "And I'm just sitting here eating chips!" "Listen to me." "God knows I've hated that man, but right now I love him and do you know why?" "'Cause he did the right thing." "He sent you back to me." "What do I do every day, Mum?" "What do I do?" "Get up, catch the bus, go to work, come back home," " eat chips and go to bed, is that it?" " That's what the rest of us do." " I can't." " Why, 'cause you're better than us?" "No, I didn't mean that!" "But it was..." "It was a better life." "I don't mean all the travelling and... seeing aliens and spaceships and things, that don't matter." "The Doctor showed me a better way of living your life." "You know he showed you, too." "That you don't just give up." "You don't just let things happen." "You make a stand." "You say no." "You have the guts to do what's right when everyone else just runs away!" "And I just can't..." "Right, Lynda, you are my eyes and ears." "When the Daleks get in, you can follow them on that screen and report it to me." " Understood." " They'll detect you." "The door is made of hydra combination, it should keep them out." " Should?" " It's the best I can do." "How long till the Fleet arrives?" "They accelerated." "This is it!" "Ladies and gentlemen, we are at war." "You can't spend the rest of your life thinking about the Doctor." " But how do I forget him?" " You've got to start living your own life." "A proper life." "Like the kind he's never had." "The sort of life that you could have with me." "Over here, it's over here as well!" "That's been there for years." "It's just a phrase, it's just words!" "I thought it was a warning." "Maybe it's the opposite." "Maybe it's a message." "The same words written down now and 200,000 years in the future." "It's a link between me and the Doctor." "Bad Wolf here, Bad Wolf there." "Yeah, but if it's a message, what's it saying?" "It's telling me I can get back." "The least I can do is help him escape!" "Stand your ground, everyone." "Follow my commands." "And good luck." "You were right." "They're forcing the air lock on 494." "All the Tardis needs to do is make a return trip." "Just reverse." "Yeah, but we still can't do it." "The Doctor always said the Tardis was telepathic." "This thing is alive, it can listen." " It's not listening now, is it?" " We need to get inside it." "Last time I saw you, with the Slitheen, this middle bit opened." "And there was this light and the Doctor said It was the heart of the Tardls." "If we can open it, I can make contact." "I can tell it what to do." " Rose, if you go back, you're gonna die." " That's a risk I've got to take." "'Cause there's nothing left for me here." " Nothing?" " No." "Okay, if that's what you think, let's get this thing open." " Okay, activate Internal lasers." " slice them up." "Defences have gone offline." "The Daleks have overridden the lot." "You lied to me!" "The bullets don't work!" "Faster!" "Come on!" "It's not moving!" "Advance guard have made it to 495." " Jack, how are we doing?" " 495 should be good." "I like 495." "Identify yourselfl" "You are the Weakest Llnk." "Goodbyel" "Yes!" "You are the Weakest Llnk..." "Goodbye." "Proceed to next level." "They're flying up the ventilation shafts." "No, wait a minute." "Oh, my God." "Why are they doing that?" "They're going down." "Extermlnatel Extermlnate..." "Extermlnatel Extermlnatel" "You can't!" "You don't exist!" "It's not fair!" "I won the game!" "I should be rich!" " I'm a winner!" "You can't do this to me!" " Extermlnatel" "Floor Zero." "They killed them all." "It was never gonna work, sweetheart." "And the Doctor knew that." "He just wanted you to be safe." " I can't give up." " Lock the door." "Walk away." " Dad wouldn't give up." " He's not here, is he?" " And even if he was, he'd say the same." " No, he wouldn't." "He'd tell me to try anything." "If I could save the Doctor's life, try anything." " We're never gonna know." " Well, I know. 'Cause I met him." " I met Dad." " Don't be ridiculous." "The Doctor took me back in time and I met Dad." "Don't say that." "You remember when Dad died, there was someone with him?" "A girl, a blonde girl." "She held his hand." "You saw her from a distance, Mum, you saw her." "Think about it." "That was me." "You saw me." " Stop it!" " That's how good the Doctor..." "Stop it!" "Just stop it!" " Lynda, what's happening on Earth?" " The Fleet's descending." "They're bombing whole continents." "Europa, Pacifica, the New American Alliance." "Australasia's just, er... gone." "Thls Is perfection." "I have created heaven on Earth." "Floor 499, we're the last defence." "The bullets should work if you concentrate them on the Daleks' eyestalk." "I've got the force-field at maximum, so Dalek firepower should be at its weakest." "I'm only here 'cause of you." "I joined the Programme 'cause you were on it." "Am I supposed to say, "When this is all over," ""if we're still alive, maybe we could go for a drink?"" " That'd be nice." " Yeah, well, tough." "There's gotta be something else we can do." "Mum was right." "Maybe we should just lock the door and walk away." "I'm not having that." "I'm not having you just give up now, no way." "We just need something stronger than my car." "Something bigger, something like that." "Right, you've only got this until 6:00, so get on with it." " Mum, where the hell did you get that from?" " Rodrigo." "He owes me a favour." "Never mind why." "But you were right about your dad, sweetheart." "He was full of mad ideas and it's exactly what he would have done." "Now, get on with it before I change my mind." "Open fire!" "It's not working!" "Concentrate your fire." "Eyestalk 2:00!" "Eye vision Is Impalredl I cannot seel" "We did it!" "No." "No!" "I've got a problem." "Human female detected." " They've found me." " You'll be all right, Lynda." "That side of the station's reinforced against meteors." "Hope so." "You know what they say about Earth workmanship." "Last man standing!" "For God's sake, Doctor, finish that thing and kill them!" "Flnlsh that thing and kill mankind." " Keep going!" " Put your foot down!" " Faster!" " Give it some more, Mickey!" "Keep going!" "Come on!" "Come on!" " Keep going!" " Give it some more!" "Rose!" "Doctor!" "You've got 20 seconds maximum." " Extermlnatel" " I kind of figured that." "It's ready!" "You really wanna think about this." "'Cause if I activate the signal, every living creature dies." "I am Immortal." " Do you wanna put that to the test?" " I want to see you become like me." "Hall the Doctor, the Great Extermlnator." " I'll do it!" " Then prove yourself, Doctorl" "What are you?" "Coward or killer?" "Coward." "Any day." "Manklnd will be harvested because of your weakness." "And what about me?" "Am I becoming one of your angels?" "You are the heathen." "You will be exterminated." "Maybe it's time." "Alertl Tardls materlallslngl" "You will not escapel" " What have you done?" " I looked into the Tardis." " And the Tardis looked into me." " You looked into the time vortex." "Rose, no one's meant to see that." "Thls Is the Abomlnatlonl" "Extermlnatel" "I am the Bad Wolf." "I create myself." "I take the words..." "I scatter them in time and space." "A message to lead myself here." "Rose, you've got to stop this!" "You've got to stop this now!" "You've got the entire vortex running through your head." "You're gonna burn!" "I want you safe." "My Doctor." "Protected from the false god." "You cannot hurt mel I am Immortall" "You are tiny." "I can see the whole of time and space." "Every single atom of your existence and I divide them." "Everything must come to dust." "All things." "Everything dies." " The Time War ends." " I wlll not diel" "I cannot diel" "Rose, you've done it, now stop." "Just let go!" "How can I let go of this?" "I bring life." "But this is wrong!" " You can't control life and death!" " But I can." "The sun and the moon, the day and night." "But why do they hurt?" "The power's gonna kill you." "And it's my fault!" "I can see everything." "All that is, all that was." "All that ever could be." "That's what I see." "All the time." " And doesn't it drive you mad?" " My head." " Come here." " It's killing me." "I think you need a doctor." " What happened?" " Don't you remember?" "It's like..." "There was this singing." "That's right, I sang a song and the Daleks ran away." "I was at home." "No, I wasn't." "I was in the Tardis and... there was this light." "I can't remember anything else." "Rose Tyler." "I was gonna take you to so many places." "Barcelona, not the city Barcelona, the planet Barcelona, you'd love it." "Fantastic place." "They've got dogs with no noses." "Imagine how many times a day you end up telling that joke and it's still funny!" "Then why can't we go?" "Maybe you will, and maybe I will, but not like this." "You're not making sense." "I might never make sense again." "I might have two heads or no head!" "Imagine me with no head." "And don't say that's an improvement!" "But it's a bit dodgy this process." "You never know what you're gonna end up with." " Doctor!" " Stay away!" "Doctor, tell me what's going on." "I absorbed all the energy of the time vortex and no one's meant to do that." "Every cell in my body is dying." " Can't you do something?" " Yeah, I'm doing it now!" "Time Lords have this little trick." "It's sort of a way of cheating death." "Except... it means I'm gonna change... and I'm not gonna see you again." "Not like this, not with this daft old face." " And before I go..." " Don't say that!" "Rose... before I go I just wanna tell you, you were fantastic." "Absolutely fantastic." "And do you know what?" "So was I." "Hello, okay." "New teeth, that's weird." "So, where was I?" "Oh, that's right, Barcelona!"
