0:00:08 > 0:00:12It is said that in the final days of planet Earth,
0:00:12 > 0:00:15everyone had bad dreams.
0:00:20 > 0:00:24To the west of the north of that world, the human race did gather,
0:00:24 > 0:00:30in celebration of a pagan rite, to banish the cold and the dark.
0:00:34 > 0:00:38Each and every one of those people had dreamt of the terrible things to come.
0:00:38 > 0:00:40But they forgot.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43Because they must.
0:00:43 > 0:00:48They forgot their nightmares of fire and war and insanity.
0:00:49 > 0:00:50They forgot.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53Except for one.

0:01:11 > 0:01:14CHOIR SINGS
0:02:07 > 0:02:09They call it the Legend of the Blue Box.
0:02:09 > 0:02:10Oh.
0:02:12 > 0:02:17I've never been in here before. I'm not one for churches - too cold.
0:02:17 > 0:02:21This was the site of a convent, back in the 1300s.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26It's said a demon fell from the sky.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28Then a man appeared.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30A man in a blue box.
0:02:30 > 0:02:34They called him the sainted physician.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36He smote the demon
0:02:36 > 0:02:38and then disappeared.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41That's a bit of a coincidence.
0:02:41 > 0:02:45It's said there's no such thing as coincidence.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48Who knows?
0:02:48 > 0:02:52- Perhaps he's coming back. - Oh, that would make my Christmas!
0:03:11 > 0:03:13EVIL LAUGHTER
0:04:02 > 0:04:05Ah! Now, sorry, there you are.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09So, where were we?
0:04:09 > 0:04:11I was summoned, wasn't I?
0:04:11 > 0:04:14An Ood, in the snow, calling to me.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17I didn't exactly come straight here. Had a bit of fun, y'know?
0:04:17 > 0:04:19Travelled about. Did this and that.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22Got into trouble, you know me. It was brilliant.
0:04:22 > 0:04:26I saw the Phosphorous Carousel of the Great Magellan Gestadt.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29Saved a planet from the Red Carnivorous Maw.
0:04:29 > 0:04:33Named a galaxy Alison. Got married. That was a mistake.
0:04:33 > 0:04:38Good Queen Bess, and let me tell you, her nickname is no longer...
0:04:38 > 0:04:40- HE CLEARS HIS THROAT - Anyway...
0:04:40 > 0:04:42what d'you want?
0:04:42 > 0:04:44You should not have delayed.
0:04:44 > 0:04:48The last time I was here, you said my song would be ending soon,
0:04:48 > 0:04:49and I'm in no hurry for that.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51You will come with me.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54Hold on, better lock the TARDIS.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57BEEPING
0:04:57 > 0:04:58See? Like a car.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01I locked it, like a car.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05Like...it's funny.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07No? Little bit?
0:05:09 > 0:05:11Blimey, try to make an Ood laugh.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15So how old are you now, Ood Sigma?
0:05:15 > 0:05:17Ah!
0:05:22 > 0:05:23Magnificent!
0:05:27 > 0:05:30Oh, come on! That is...splendid!
0:05:31 > 0:05:35- You've achieved all this in how long?- 100 years.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40Then we've got a problem.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42Cos all of this is way too fast.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45Not just the city, I mean your ability to call me.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48Reaching all the way back to the 21st century.
0:05:49 > 0:05:53Something's accelerating your species way beyond normal.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55And the Mind of the Ood is troubled.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58- Why, what's happened? - Every night, Doctor...
0:05:58 > 0:06:01every night, we have bad dreams.
0:06:01 > 0:06:07'Returning, returning, returning, it is slowly returning.'
0:06:07 > 0:06:12Through the dark and the fire and the blood, always returning,
0:06:12 > 0:06:14returning to this world.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17It is returning, and he is returning.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20And they are returning, but too late,
0:06:20 > 0:06:24too late, far too late, he is come.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30Sit with the Elder of the Ood and share the dreaming.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34So...
0:06:34 > 0:06:35Right.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40Hallo!
0:06:42 > 0:06:45THEY CHANT You will join, you will join,
0:06:45 > 0:06:48you will join, you will join,

0:06:55 > 0:06:57He comes to us.
0:06:57 > 0:06:58Every night.
0:06:58 > 0:07:03I think all the peoples of the universe dream of him now.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05- That man is dead.- There is yet more.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07Join us.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10Events are taking shape.
0:07:10 > 0:07:14So many years ago, and yet changing the now.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16There is a man... EVIL LAUGHTER
0:07:16 > 0:07:19..so scared. LAUGHTER CONTINUES
0:07:19 > 0:07:21Wilfred! Is he all right?
0:07:21 > 0:07:24- What about Donna, is she safe? - You should not have delayed,
0:07:24 > 0:07:29for the lines of convergence are being drawn across the Earth, even now.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31The king is in his counting house.
0:07:37 > 0:07:38I don't know who they are.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40And there is another.
0:07:40 > 0:07:44The most lonely of all, lost and forgotten.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48The Master's wife.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50We see so much,
0:07:50 > 0:07:52but understand little.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55The woman in the cage, who is she?
0:07:56 > 0:07:58She was...
0:07:58 > 0:08:00It w-wasn't her fault, she was...
0:08:01 > 0:08:05The Master, he's a Time Lord, like me.
0:08:07 > 0:08:08I can show you.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12The Master took the name of Saxon.
0:08:12 > 0:08:16He married a human, a woman called Lucy. And he corrupted her.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22She stood at his side while he conquered the Earth.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25I reversed everything he'd done, so it never even happened.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27But Lucy Saxon remembered.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34I held him in my arms.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36I burnt his body!
0:08:38 > 0:08:39The Master is dead!
0:08:39 > 0:08:42And yet, you did not see...
0:08:42 > 0:08:44WHISPERING
0:08:46 > 0:08:47What's that?
0:08:48 > 0:08:50EVIL LAUGHTER
0:08:58 > 0:08:59Part of him survived.
0:09:01 > 0:09:02I have to go!
0:09:02 > 0:09:05But something more is happening, Doctor.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07The Master is part of a greater design.
0:09:07 > 0:09:12Because a shadow is falling over creation.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14Something vast is stirring in the dark.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16GENTLE ROARING
0:09:16 > 0:09:20The Ood have gained this power to see through time
0:09:20 > 0:09:23because time is bleeding.
0:09:23 > 0:09:27Shapes of things once lost are moving through the veil.
0:09:27 > 0:09:32And these events from years ago threaten to destroy this future,
0:09:32 > 0:09:33and the present, and the past.
0:09:33 > 0:09:37- What do you mean? - This is what we have seen, Doctor.
0:09:37 > 0:09:41The darkness heralds only one thing.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44The end of time itself.
0:09:55 > 0:10:00Events that have happened are happening now.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40Mrs Saxon.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43Let me introduce myself.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45I'm your new Governor.
0:10:45 > 0:10:49I'm afraid the previous Governor met with something of an accident,
0:10:49 > 0:10:53which took quite some time to arrange.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56Miss Trefusis, if you will prepare.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03You kept your silence well, Mrs Saxon.
0:11:03 > 0:11:07Your trial was held in secret, with no jury.
0:11:09 > 0:11:13So, no-one knows who Harold Saxon was.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15Where he came from.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17Why you killed him.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19Make her kneel.
0:11:23 > 0:11:28There are those of us who never lost faith.
0:11:28 > 0:11:33And in his wisdom, Harold Saxon prepared for this moment.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36He knew that he might die and he made us ready.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40Tonight, Mrs Saxon...
0:11:43 > 0:11:44..he returns.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48EVIL LAUGHTER
0:11:56 > 0:12:00TV DROWNED OUT BY LIGHTNING
0:12:05 > 0:12:11As it was written in the Secret Books of Saxon,
0:12:11 > 0:12:13these...
0:12:13 > 0:12:15are the Potions of Life.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17Listen to me! Whatever he told you...
0:12:17 > 0:12:21- you've got no idea what you're doing!- Miss Trefusis...
0:12:21 > 0:12:24- the catalyst.- What are you doing?
0:12:24 > 0:12:26Leave me alone! Don't. Don't!
0:12:26 > 0:12:29You were Saxon's wife.
0:12:29 > 0:12:30You bore his imprint.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32That's all we needed -
0:12:32 > 0:12:37the final biometrical signature.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42You can't bring him back, you can't!
0:12:55 > 0:12:58I'm begging you!
0:12:58 > 0:13:00Stop this now before it's too late!
0:13:00 > 0:13:02We give ourselves...
0:13:02 > 0:13:06that Saxon might live!
0:13:09 > 0:13:12Can't you see?! He lied to you!
0:13:12 > 0:13:15His name isn't even Harold Saxon!
0:13:15 > 0:13:17And this was written also.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21For his name is...
0:13:21 > 0:13:23the Master!
0:13:23 > 0:13:28Never. Never. Never. Never.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31Never dying. Never dying!
0:13:31 > 0:13:34Never dying! Never dying!
0:13:34 > 0:13:36- Never dying! - EVIL LAUGHTER
0:13:46 > 0:13:49Oh, Lucy...
0:13:49 > 0:13:51sweet Lucy Saxon.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53My ever faithful.
0:13:53 > 0:13:57Did the widow's kiss bring me back to life?
0:13:57 > 0:13:59- You're killing them! - Oh, let them die.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02They're just the first.
0:14:02 > 0:14:07The whole stupid stinking human disgrace can fall into the pit.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11Can't you hear it, Lucy?
0:14:11 > 0:14:14The noise?
0:14:14 > 0:14:17The drumbeat? Louder than ever before.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23The drums, the never-ending drums.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26Oh, I have missed them!
0:14:28 > 0:14:30But no-one knew you better than I did.
0:14:30 > 0:14:31I knew you'd come back.
0:14:31 > 0:14:36And all this time, your disciples have prepared. But so have we!
0:14:38 > 0:14:40What are you doing?
0:14:40 > 0:14:44The Secret Books of Saxon spoke of the Potions of Life.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48And I was never that bright, but my family had contacts.
0:14:48 > 0:14:52People who were clever enough to calculate the opposite.
0:14:52 > 0:14:54Don't you dare!
0:14:54 > 0:14:56I'm ordering you, Lucy.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58You will obey me!
0:14:58 > 0:15:01Till death do us part, Harry!
0:15:01 > 0:15:02NO-O-O-O!
0:15:34 > 0:15:36I think we might be in luck, darling.
0:15:36 > 0:15:40It's the footage from Broadfell Prison the night it burnt down.
0:15:40 > 0:15:41Take a look at this.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48Someone survived! Do you think it's him?
0:15:50 > 0:15:54Oh, that would be such a Christmas present. HE CHUCKLES
0:15:54 > 0:15:56You just leave it to Daddy.
0:16:03 > 0:16:07Ladies and gentlemen, it seems help is at hand.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09Christmas is cancelled.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11Prepare the gate.

0:16:28 > 0:16:31HE WHISTLES Just going down to the Lion.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34Quick little snifter. Christmas drinks.

0:16:44 > 0:16:47Rendezvous 1300 hours.

0:16:54 > 0:16:57HE CHUCKLES Wa-hey, shake a leg!
0:16:57 > 0:16:58Ye-hey.

0:17:03 > 0:17:05WOLF WHISTLING
0:17:05 > 0:17:07Right, come on, let's get going. CHEERING
0:17:08 > 0:17:11Everybody all right? Who's got the chocolates, then?
0:17:15 > 0:17:20He's tall and thin, wears a brown suit, maybe a blue suit, he's got a long brown coat.
0:17:20 > 0:17:24Modern sort of hair, all sticky-uppy, right?
0:17:24 > 0:17:27Oh, and on page two, be on the lookout for a police box.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29Exactly like the old ones.
0:17:29 > 0:17:34I got locked inside one of them - August Bank Holiday 1962.
0:17:34 > 0:17:38- Were you misbehaving, Minnie? - I certainly was. Wa-hey!
0:17:40 > 0:17:43Yeah, all right, all right. Listen, this is important.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46We have got to find it, so phone around, phone everybody.
0:17:46 > 0:17:50Sally, will you get onto the Bridge Club? Winston, you try the Old Boys.
0:17:50 > 0:17:55Bobby, want you to ring the skiffle band, right? Between us, we've got the city covered.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58- The Silver Cloak.- Yeah.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00Who is he, then, this Doctor?
0:18:00 > 0:18:03No, I can't tell you that. I swear.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06But answer me this -
0:18:06 > 0:18:09have you been having bad dreams? All of you?
0:18:10 > 0:18:12Dreams you can't remember?
0:18:14 > 0:18:17Yeah, well, that's why we need him.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20We need the Doctor.
0:18:20 > 0:18:21More than ever.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27- Onions with that? - Oh, yeah, go on, pile 'em on.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30What about you, Ginger? Onions?
0:18:31 > 0:18:34He don't say much. Give him onions.
0:18:34 > 0:18:38- He's down from Huddersfield. - Well, you look after him.
0:18:38 > 0:18:42And don't forget tomorrow night, the Christmas broadcast.
0:18:42 > 0:18:46President Obama, he's promised to end the recession.
0:18:46 > 0:18:50- Bad times will soon be over, Ginger. - Well, season's greetings to you.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53And you. Happy Christmas.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58Now, what can we get you, sir?
0:19:00 > 0:19:01Everything.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08I am so hungry.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11EVIL LAUGHTER
0:19:12 > 0:19:15They're saying that the President's got this grand plan.
0:19:15 > 0:19:19He's going to save the world with some big financial scheme.
0:19:19 > 0:19:23Whatever it is, I bet it won't reach you and me.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27Somebody's lively on his feet.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31Starving.
0:19:42 > 0:19:46Now, y'see, that's what you don't want to do - eat it all at once.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49Tempting, I know. ..But if you make it last, it can last all day.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52Want more. Want cheese and chips.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54And meat and gravy, and cream and beer,
0:19:54 > 0:19:58and pork and beef and fat, and great big chunks of hot, wet red.
0:19:58 > 0:20:02Good for you, mate(!) ..Maybe we'd better be going.
0:20:02 > 0:20:06You look like that bloke. Harold Saxon.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09The one that went mad.
0:20:11 > 0:20:16Isn't that funny? Isn't that just the best thing of all?
0:20:18 > 0:20:24The master of disguise, stuck looking like the old Prime Minister.
0:20:24 > 0:20:28I can't hide anywhere! He can see me,
0:20:28 > 0:20:31he can smell me... Can't let him smell me!
0:20:31 > 0:20:35Doctor, Doctor, shockter stopped-her, got to stop the smell!
0:20:35 > 0:20:37The stink, the filthy, filthy stink!
0:20:37 > 0:20:41Ginger. Come with me, right now!
0:20:41 > 0:20:43Because it's funny...!
0:20:43 > 0:20:45Don't you see?
0:20:45 > 0:20:49Look at me! I'm splitting my sides.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51I am hilarious!
0:20:51 > 0:20:54I am the funniest thing in the whole wide world!
0:21:07 > 0:21:10Sarah! God help us!
0:21:10 > 0:21:13There's this man...!

0:23:01 > 0:23:05HE ROARS
0:23:38 > 0:23:44Please, let me help! You're burning up your own life force.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50- Oh, my gosh, Doctor, you're a sight for sore eyes.- Out of my way!
0:23:52 > 0:23:54Did we do it? Is that him?
0:23:54 > 0:23:58- Tall and thin, big brown coat. - The Silver Cloak. It worked.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01Cos Wilf phoned Netty, who phoned June, and her sister lives opposite
0:24:01 > 0:24:08Broadfell, and she saw the police box, and her neighbour saw this man heading east.
0:24:08 > 0:24:13- Wilfred?- Yeah?- Have you told them who I am? You promised!- No, I just said you were a doctor, that's all.
0:24:13 > 0:24:17And might I say, sir, it is an honour to see you again.
0:24:19 > 0:24:24Ooh, but you never said he was a looker! He's gorgeous, take a photo!
0:24:24 > 0:24:26Not bad, eh?
0:24:26 > 0:24:32- Me next!- I'm Minnie. Minnie the Menace. It's a long time since I had a photo with a handsome man.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35Just get off him, leave him alone, will you?
0:24:35 > 0:24:37Hush, you old misery.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40Come on, Doctor. Give us a smile.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42- That's it.- Hold on...
0:24:42 > 0:24:45- Did it flash?- No, there's a blue light, try again.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47I'm all fingers and thumbs.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50- I'm really kind of busy, y'know? - Oh, it won't take a tick.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52Keep smiling.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55Is that your HAND, Minnie?!
0:24:55 > 0:24:57Good boy.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06Come on, then. Here we are, hurry up.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08Bye. You behave, bye.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13Over here, come on.
0:25:13 > 0:25:16What's so special about this place? We passed 15 cafes on the way.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18Yeah. Afternoon.
0:25:20 > 0:25:25Oh, we had some good times, didn't we, though? All those Atmos things.
0:25:25 > 0:25:29And planets in the sky. And me with that paint gun, and...
0:25:34 > 0:25:37I keep seeing things, Doctor, I...
0:25:37 > 0:25:39This face. At night.
0:25:39 > 0:25:45- Who are you?- I'm Wilfred Mott. - No, people have waited
0:25:45 > 0:25:48hundreds of years to find me and then you manage it in a few hours.
0:25:48 > 0:25:52- Well, I'm just lucky, I s'pose. - No, we keep on meeting, Wilf.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55Over and over again. Like something's still connecting us.
0:25:55 > 0:25:59- What's so important about me? - Exactly. Why you?
0:26:07 > 0:26:11- I'm going to die. - Well, so am I, one day.
0:26:11 > 0:26:16- Don't you dare. - All right, I'll try not to.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19But I was told.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22"He will knock four times."
0:26:24 > 0:26:26That was the prophecy.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29Knock four times, and then...
0:26:29 > 0:26:33But I thought when I saw you before, you said your people
0:26:33 > 0:26:36could change, like, your whole body.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39I can still die.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42If I'm killed before regeneration, then I'm dead.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46Even then.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48Even if I change,
0:26:48 > 0:26:49it feels like dying.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56Everything I am dies.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59Some new man goes sauntering away...
0:27:04 > 0:27:07And I'm dead.
0:27:09 > 0:27:11What?
0:27:12 > 0:27:15I'm sorry. But I had to. Look, can't you make her better?
0:27:15 > 0:27:18- Stop it.- No, but you're so clever. Can't you bring her memory back?
0:27:18 > 0:27:22Just go to her now, go on, just run across the street, go up and say hello.
0:27:22 > 0:27:27If she ever remembers me, her mind will burn, and she will die.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31Don't you touch this car!
0:27:31 > 0:27:35- She's not changed.- Nah.
0:27:37 > 0:27:39Oh, there he is...
0:27:39 > 0:27:44Shaun Temple. They're engaged. Getting married in the spring.
0:27:45 > 0:27:48- Another wedding.- Yeah.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51Hold on, she's not gonna be called Noble-Temple?
0:27:51 > 0:27:56- Sounds like a tourist spot. - No, it's Temple-Noble.- Right.
0:27:57 > 0:28:01Is she happy, is he nice?
0:28:01 > 0:28:04Yeah, he's sweet enough, he's a bit of a dreamer.
0:28:04 > 0:28:09Mind you, he's on minimum wage, she's earning tuppence, so all they can afford is a tiny little flat.
0:28:11 > 0:28:16And then sometimes I see this look on her face, like she's so sad.
0:28:17 > 0:28:22- But she can't remember why. - She's got him.
0:28:23 > 0:28:26- She's making do.- Aren't we all?
0:28:29 > 0:28:32Yeah, how about you? Who've you got, now?
0:28:32 > 0:28:35No-one.
0:28:36 > 0:28:39Travelling alone.
0:28:41 > 0:28:43I thought it was better.
0:28:46 > 0:28:50But I did some things. It went wrong. I need...
0:28:51 > 0:28:53Oh, my word.
0:28:57 > 0:29:00- Merry Christmas.- Yeah, and you!
0:29:01 > 0:29:04Look at us.
0:29:04 > 0:29:06But don't you see?
0:29:06 > 0:29:10You need her, Doctor. I mean, look, wouldn't she make you laugh again?
0:29:10 > 0:29:13Good old Donna?
0:29:18 > 0:29:19Eh?
0:29:37 > 0:29:42And so it came to pass that the players took their final places,
0:29:42 > 0:29:45making ready the events that were to come.
0:29:50 > 0:29:57The madman sat in his empire of dust and ashes,
0:29:57 > 0:30:01little knowing of the glory he would achieve.
0:30:03 > 0:30:07While his saviour looked upon the wilderness,
0:30:07 > 0:30:11in the hope of changing his inevitable fate.
0:30:14 > 0:30:20Far away, the idiots and fools dreamt of a shining new future.
0:30:22 > 0:30:24A future now doomed to never happen.
0:30:26 > 0:30:28As Earth rolled onwards into night,
0:30:28 > 0:30:32the people of that world did sleep,
0:30:32 > 0:30:34and shiver,
0:30:34 > 0:30:40somehow knowing that dawn would bring only one thing...
0:30:44 > 0:30:47The final day.
0:32:22 > 0:32:25I had estates.
0:32:25 > 0:32:29Do you remember my father's land, back home?
0:32:30 > 0:32:33Pastures of red grass,
0:32:33 > 0:32:37stretching far across the slopes of Mount Perdition.
0:32:40 > 0:32:44We used to run across those fields all day,
0:32:44 > 0:32:47calling up at the sky.
0:32:50 > 0:32:53Look at us now.
0:32:55 > 0:32:58All that eloquence.
0:32:58 > 0:33:00But how many people have you killed?
0:33:03 > 0:33:07- I am so hungry. - Your resurrection went wrong.
0:33:07 > 0:33:08That energy...
0:33:10 > 0:33:14Your body's ripped open. Now you're killing yourself.
0:33:14 > 0:33:17That human Christmas out there,
0:33:17 > 0:33:19they eat so much.
0:33:19 > 0:33:22All that roasting meat.
0:33:22 > 0:33:24Cakes and red wine.
0:33:24 > 0:33:27Hot, fat, blood, food.
0:33:27 > 0:33:33Pots, plates of meat and flesh and grease and juice,
0:33:33 > 0:33:37and baking, burnt, sticky hot skin, hot, it's so hot!
0:33:37 > 0:33:40- Stop it.- Sliced, sliced...!
0:33:40 > 0:33:44- Sliced, it's mine, it's mine, it's mine to eat and eat and eat...! - Stop it.
0:33:44 > 0:33:47And feast, and eat and eat and eat and eat...!
0:33:50 > 0:33:53What if I ask you for help?
0:33:57 > 0:34:02- There's more at work tonight than you and me.- Oh, yeah?
0:34:02 > 0:34:08- I've been told something is returning.- And here I am!
0:34:08 > 0:34:11- No, it was something more. - But it hurts.
0:34:11 > 0:34:14- I was told the end of time. - It hurts, Doctor, the noise...
0:34:14 > 0:34:18The noise in my head, Doctor,
0:34:18 > 0:34:23one, two, three, four, one, two, three, four, stronger than ever before!
0:34:23 > 0:34:25RHYTHMIC TAPPING
0:34:25 > 0:34:28- Can't you hear it?- I'm sorry.
0:34:28 > 0:34:30(Listen, listen, listen, listen!)
0:34:33 > 0:34:37Every minute, every second,
0:34:37 > 0:34:40every beat of my hearts,
0:34:40 > 0:34:44there it is...calling to me.
0:34:46 > 0:34:49- Please, listen.- I can't hear it.
0:34:51 > 0:34:53Listen.
0:35:03 > 0:35:06- But that's...- What?!
0:35:06 > 0:35:08I heard it.
0:35:08 > 0:35:14But there's no noise, there never has been, it's just your insanity, it's the...
0:35:14 > 0:35:18What is it? What's inside your head?
0:35:18 > 0:35:21It's real!
0:35:22 > 0:35:24It's real!
0:35:25 > 0:35:27It's REAL!
0:35:45 > 0:35:47All these years,
0:35:47 > 0:35:50you thought I was mad.
0:35:52 > 0:35:55King of the wasteland.
0:35:55 > 0:36:01But something is calling me, Doctor, what is it, what is it, what is it?
0:36:23 > 0:36:25Don't...!
0:36:26 > 0:36:29MACHINE GUNFIRE
0:36:37 > 0:36:39Let him go!
0:36:55 > 0:36:58MUSIC ON RADIO: "Merry Xmas Everybody" by Slade
0:37:05 > 0:37:08Now then, steady on, never too early for margaritas, that's what I say.
0:37:08 > 0:37:13I forgot to get lemons so I used oranges instead. It's all fruit, same difference.
0:37:13 > 0:37:18Oh, now that's lovely, look at that. Absolutely beautiful.
0:37:18 > 0:37:23- "Love from Donna." Did you keep the receipt?- Yes, I did.
0:37:23 > 0:37:26Come on, Gramps, you've been a right misery ever since you got up.
0:37:26 > 0:37:30- Do you like it, then? The book? - I mean, what d'you get me this for?
0:37:32 > 0:37:37I dunno. I just saw it in the shop, and thought of you,
0:37:37 > 0:37:41it just felt like the sort of thing you should have.
0:37:43 > 0:37:47Oh, now look at that, that's from Charlie Morton, isn't that rude?
0:37:55 > 0:37:58If you would, Mr Danes...
0:38:03 > 0:38:07- I'm starving.- You've my daughter to thank for this,
0:38:07 > 0:38:09it's all her idea.
0:38:09 > 0:38:14She heard rumours of Harold Saxon. His disciples. His return.
0:38:14 > 0:38:17It's the sort of thing she finds rather thrilling.
0:38:17 > 0:38:19And I was right. He's back.
0:38:19 > 0:38:23The very man we need, and he's here.
0:38:24 > 0:38:28Oh, this is going to be wonderful.
0:38:32 > 0:38:36Aye-aye. Here are the presents. I couldn't afford much,
0:38:36 > 0:38:40but not for long, if President Obama ends the recession tonight! C'mere!
0:38:40 > 0:38:46Woah, woah, woah. Keep it quiet, you lot, it's the Queen's Speech. Now come on, sit down, show respect.
0:38:46 > 0:38:51- Merry Christmas, Mr Mott. - Thank you. Will you behave?! Honestly, all right now. She's on.
0:38:51 > 0:38:55She's on, it's our sovereign.
0:38:58 > 0:39:00Eh?
0:39:00 > 0:39:04- Events are moving, Wilfred.- Eh?
0:39:04 > 0:39:07- Faster than we thought. - Can you see that?
0:39:07 > 0:39:10Frankly, I'd tell Her Majesty, it's time for trouser-suits.
0:39:10 > 0:39:15- No, no, no, no. That's not... - Only you can see.
0:39:15 > 0:39:20- Only you stand at the heart of coincidence.- Why, what have I done?
0:39:20 > 0:39:22You're an old soldier, sir.
0:39:22 > 0:39:24Only you were too late.
0:39:24 > 0:39:29- The war was won and passed you by. - I did my duty.
0:39:29 > 0:39:31You never killed a man.
0:39:31 > 0:39:33No, I didn't.
0:39:33 > 0:39:35No, I did not, no.
0:39:35 > 0:39:38Don't say that like it's shameful.
0:39:38 > 0:39:43The time will come... when you must take arms.
0:39:43 > 0:39:45Who are you?
0:39:45 > 0:39:47Tell the Doctor nothing of this.
0:39:47 > 0:39:50His life could still be saved.
0:39:50 > 0:39:54So long as you tell him nothing.
0:40:08 > 0:40:10DONNA AND SYLVIA LAUGHING
0:40:56 > 0:40:58I lost him, I was unconscious.
0:40:58 > 0:41:00He's still on Earth, but he's too far away.
0:41:00 > 0:41:03Listen, you can't park there, what if Donna sees it?
0:41:03 > 0:41:08You're the only one, the only connection I can think of, you're involved, if I could work out how...
0:41:08 > 0:41:13Tell me, have you seen anything, I don't know, anything strange, anything odd?
0:41:13 > 0:41:14Well, there was...
0:41:14 > 0:41:18- What is it? Tell me. - Well, there was... No, it's nothing.
0:41:18 > 0:41:24- Maybe something out of the blue, connected to your life, something. - Well, Donna was a bit strange.
0:41:24 > 0:41:28- She had a funny little moment, this morning, all because of that book. - What book?
0:41:28 > 0:41:33- His name's Joshua Naismith. - That's the man. I was shown him, by the Ood.- By the what?- By the Ood.
0:41:33 > 0:41:35What's the Ood?
0:41:35 > 0:41:41They're just Ood. But it's all part of the convergence, maybe touching Donna's subconscious.
0:41:44 > 0:41:47Oh, she's still fighting for us, even now. The Doctor-Donna.
0:41:47 > 0:41:49Dad, what are you up to?
0:41:49 > 0:41:51You!
0:41:51 > 0:41:53But... Get out of here!
0:41:53 > 0:41:58- Merry Christmas. - Merry Christmas, but she can't see you, what if she remembers?
0:41:58 > 0:41:59Mum, where are those tweezers?
0:41:59 > 0:42:03- Go!- I'm going. - Me, too.- Oh, no, you don't!
0:42:05 > 0:42:08Mum? Gramps?
0:42:08 > 0:42:10Dad, I'm warning you...
0:42:10 > 0:42:12Bye, see you later.
0:42:12 > 0:42:16- Bit old for hide and seek. - Stay right where you are!
0:42:16 > 0:42:19- You can't come with me. - You're not leaving me with her.- Dad!
0:42:19 > 0:42:20- Fair enough.- Mum?
0:42:20 > 0:42:23Just you listen to me. I forbid it. Get out of there!
0:42:23 > 0:42:28Doctor, bring my father back, right now!
0:42:28 > 0:42:30Come back here!
0:42:30 > 0:42:33Come back here, I said. Come back!
0:42:33 > 0:42:37Are you shouting at thin air?
0:42:37 > 0:42:40Yes.
0:42:40 > 0:42:42Possibly. Yes.
0:42:44 > 0:42:47Naismith, if I can track him down...
0:42:50 > 0:42:53Ah. Right. Yes.
0:42:53 > 0:42:55Bigger on the inside. D'you like it?
0:42:55 > 0:42:57I thought it'd be cleaner.
0:42:57 > 0:43:00Cleaner?
0:43:00 > 0:43:02I could take you back home, right now.
0:43:02 > 0:43:05Listen, Doctor, if this is a time machine - that man you're chasing,
0:43:05 > 0:43:08why can't you just pop back to yesterday and catch him?
0:43:08 > 0:43:12I can't go back inside my own timeline, I have to stay relative to
0:43:12 > 0:43:16- the Master within the causal nexus, understand?- Not a word. - Welcome aboard.
0:43:16 > 0:43:18Thank you.
0:43:30 > 0:43:31Demonstrate.
0:43:42 > 0:43:46- Ooh, that's not from Earth. - And neither are you.
0:43:46 > 0:43:49A perfect combination, don't you think?
0:43:49 > 0:43:53Excuse me, sir. If I could check the basement? We're getting fluctuation
0:43:53 > 0:43:56- on the power cords.- Of course.
0:43:56 > 0:43:59Miss Addams? If you could bring the calibration statistics.
0:44:14 > 0:44:17Who the hell is he? What if he finds out?
0:44:17 > 0:44:22An expert, they said, what sort of expert, who is he?
0:44:22 > 0:44:24I don't know. According to the records,
0:44:24 > 0:44:30Harold Saxon was Prime Minister of this stupid country.
0:44:30 > 0:44:33I'm choking in this thing, I'm sorry.
0:44:37 > 0:44:42By the saints, that's better. These people are so flat!
0:44:47 > 0:44:51But what do we do? We were so close, we almost had it working.
0:44:51 > 0:44:54What if this visitor is some sort of genius?
0:44:54 > 0:44:56Well, think about it.
0:44:56 > 0:45:00We're hijacking this project, maybe we can use him, too.
0:45:00 > 0:45:03Harold Saxon, or whatever he is,
0:45:03 > 0:45:07might be exactly what we need.
0:45:07 > 0:45:13The Gate was found inside a spaceship, buried at the foot of Mount Snowdon.
0:45:13 > 0:45:17It was moved to an institute known as Torchwood, but when Torchwood fell,
0:45:17 > 0:45:20let's just say, I acquired it.
0:45:23 > 0:45:25I like you.
0:45:25 > 0:45:26Thank you.
0:45:26 > 0:45:29You'd taste great.
0:45:31 > 0:45:32Mr Danes?
0:45:34 > 0:45:35The visitor will be given food.
0:46:08 > 0:46:12Anyway. The device came equipped with its own power supply,
0:46:12 > 0:46:16a Nuclear Bolt.
0:46:16 > 0:46:21One technician remains in charge of the feedback, 24 hours a day.
0:46:21 > 0:46:23The power feeds through to the Gate,
0:46:23 > 0:46:29where it encourages some sort of cellular regeneration. Miss Collins was our test subject.
0:46:29 > 0:46:34She carried some burns, as a result of an accident when she was a child, down her left side. If you could?
0:46:37 > 0:46:39The Gate mended her.
0:46:39 > 0:46:41Thank you.
0:46:41 > 0:46:44- But what do you want it for? - We calculate
0:46:44 > 0:46:50that if this device can be fully repaired by your good self, it can restore the body, forever.
0:46:50 > 0:46:53Hence its given title. The Immortality Gate.
0:46:53 > 0:46:55Because that's what I want.
0:46:55 > 0:46:58Not for me. But for my daughter.
0:46:58 > 0:47:00I want her never to die.
0:47:00 > 0:47:02My gift to her.
0:47:02 > 0:47:07She will be immortal.
0:47:07 > 0:47:08Abigail.
0:47:08 > 0:47:12It means "bringer of joy".

0:47:25 > 0:47:26Better get to work.
0:47:31 > 0:47:34- We've moved! We've really moved! - You should stay here.
0:47:34 > 0:47:37- Not bloody likely! - And don't swear. Hold on.
0:47:38 > 0:47:43Just a second out of sync. Don't want the Master finding the TARDIS, that's the last thing we need.
0:47:55 > 0:47:59That book said he's a billionaire, he's got his own private army.
0:47:59 > 0:48:01Down here.
0:48:14 > 0:48:18Miss Addams, we're getting encouraging results from the ratio-foldback.
0:48:18 > 0:48:21The man's a miracle. All the systems are slotting back into place.
0:48:21 > 0:48:26The shatterthreads have harmonised and the multiple overshots have triplicated.
0:48:26 > 0:48:31- Nice Gate!- Hello. Sorry. - Don't call security, or I'll tell them you're wearing a Shimmer,
0:48:31 > 0:48:36cos I reckon anyone wearing a Shimmer doesn't want the Shimmer to be noticed.
0:48:36 > 0:48:38I'm sorry? What's a Shimmer?
0:48:38 > 0:48:39Shimmer.
0:48:43 > 0:48:45Oh, my Lord. She's a cactus!
0:48:45 > 0:48:46'Miss Addams?'
0:48:46 > 0:48:48Miss Addams.
0:48:48 > 0:48:52If you'll just excuse me.
0:48:53 > 0:48:57Now, please don't imagine I'm a slave-driver.
0:48:57 > 0:49:00We can resume work on Boxing Day, Mr Saxon.
0:49:00 > 0:49:01My name...
0:49:03 > 0:49:05is the Master.
0:49:17 > 0:49:22Excellent. Excellent!
0:49:22 > 0:49:24Mr Danes?
0:49:24 > 0:49:26The visitor will be restrained.
0:49:26 > 0:49:30- What? But I repaired it. - I'm not an idiot.
0:49:30 > 0:49:33Don't let him anywhere near that thing.
0:49:40 > 0:49:44He's got it working, but what is it, what's working?
0:49:44 > 0:49:45What are you doing here?
0:49:45 > 0:49:48Shimm-err!
0:49:50 > 0:49:54Now tell me, quickly, what's going on? The Master, Harold Saxon,
0:49:54 > 0:49:57Skeletor, whatever you're calling him, what's he doing?
0:49:58 > 0:50:01Your reputation precedes you, sir.
0:50:01 > 0:50:03I have no doubt you've laid traps.
0:50:03 > 0:50:06Perhaps explosives. A means of escape.
0:50:06 > 0:50:11Or murder. But everything you've done to the Gate will be checked
0:50:11 > 0:50:13and double-checked before anyone stands inside.
0:50:15 > 0:50:20But I checked the readings, he's done good work, it's operational.
0:50:20 > 0:50:24Who are you? I met someone like you, he was brilliant, but he was little and red.
0:50:24 > 0:50:26No, that's a Zocci.
0:50:26 > 0:50:29We're not Zocci, we're Vinvocci. Completely different.
0:50:29 > 0:50:33And the Gate is Vinvocci. We're a salvage team.
0:50:33 > 0:50:35We picked up the signal when the humans reactivated it,
0:50:35 > 0:50:40- and as soon as it's working, we can transport it to the ship. - But what does it do?
0:50:40 > 0:50:45Well, it mends, it's a simple as that, it's a medical device to repair the body, it makes people better.
0:50:48 > 0:50:50No, there's got to be more.
0:50:50 > 0:50:54Every single warning says the Master's going to do something colossal.
0:50:54 > 0:50:56So that thing's like a sickbed, yes?
0:50:56 > 0:51:01- More or less.- Well, pardon me for asking, but why is it so big?
0:51:01 > 0:51:03Oh, good question. Why's it so big?
0:51:03 > 0:51:07It doesn't just mend one person at a time.
0:51:07 > 0:51:09That would be ridiculous.
0:51:09 > 0:51:12It mends whole planets.
0:51:13 > 0:51:15It does what?!
0:51:15 > 0:51:19It transmits the medical template across the entire population.
0:51:29 > 0:51:32But it's time for the broadcast.
0:51:32 > 0:51:34The President's grand initiative.
0:51:34 > 0:51:39You might want to see this, sir, proof that the human race can mend its own problems.
0:51:39 > 0:51:44And now, anticipation is rising as we go live to Washington.
0:51:44 > 0:51:48'Here, on Christmas Day, the President has promised
0:51:48 > 0:51:52'an instant and radical solution to the worldwide depression.
0:51:52 > 0:51:57'Barack Obama will lead us all into a new age of prosperity.'
0:51:57 > 0:52:01Ladies and gentlemen, the President of the United States.
0:52:03 > 0:52:06I'd like to speak briefly about the state of our economy...
0:52:06 > 0:52:09- Turn the Gate off, right now! - At arms!
0:52:09 > 0:52:13No, no, no, no, whatever you do, just don't let him near that device.
0:52:13 > 0:52:15Oh, like that was ever gonna happen.
0:52:27 > 0:52:29Homeless, was I?
0:52:29 > 0:52:31Destitute and dying?
0:52:31 > 0:52:33Well, look at me now.
0:52:33 > 0:52:37Deactivate it. All of you, turn the whole thing off!
0:52:37 > 0:52:38THE MASTER LAUGHS
0:52:38 > 0:52:41He's...inside my head.
0:52:44 > 0:52:46Get out of there!
0:52:48 > 0:52:50Doctor!
0:52:50 > 0:52:52Doctor, there's this face...
0:52:52 > 0:52:55What is it? What can you see?
0:52:55 > 0:52:57It's him. I can see him!
0:52:57 > 0:53:00There's something wrong...
0:53:00 > 0:53:02It seems to be affecting the President.
0:53:08 > 0:53:11- I can't turn it off. - That's because I locked it, idiot.
0:53:11 > 0:53:15Wilfred! Get inside, get him out.
0:53:20 > 0:53:23Just need to filter the levels.
0:53:24 > 0:53:28- I can see again. He's gone. - Radiation shielding. Press the button, let me out.
0:53:28 > 0:53:32- You what?- I can't get out until you press the button, that button there.
0:53:34 > 0:53:37- 50 seconds and counting.- To what?
0:53:37 > 0:53:39Ohhh, you're gonna love this.
0:53:40 > 0:53:44He was hiding the codes. He's extrapolated the Gate's power, a million times over.
0:53:44 > 0:53:47But it's not affecting us.
0:53:47 > 0:53:49He's set the template to human!
0:53:50 > 0:53:52WILF'S MOBILE RINGS
0:53:52 > 0:53:55Hello? Oh, Gawd.
0:53:59 > 0:54:00Donna?
0:54:00 > 0:54:04Where are you? It's Mum and Shaun, something's wrong with them.
0:54:04 > 0:54:06There's this face...
0:54:06 > 0:54:10But wait a minute, I mean, what about you? Can't you see anything?
0:54:10 > 0:54:13I can see them, that's bad enough.
0:54:13 > 0:54:14Not now, Winston!
0:54:14 > 0:54:16'Wilfred!'
0:54:16 > 0:54:21Those dreams - I can remember that face.
0:54:21 > 0:54:25There's a face. In my head.
0:54:25 > 0:54:29Wilfred. It's everyone!
0:54:29 > 0:54:34What is it? Hypnotism? Mind control? You're grafting your thoughts inside them, is that it?
0:54:34 > 0:54:39Oh, that's way too easy. No, no, no, they're not gonna think like me.
0:54:39 > 0:54:41They're gonna BECOME me.
0:54:43 > 0:54:45A-a-a-and, zero!
0:55:17 > 0:55:19You can't have!
0:55:19 > 0:55:20What is it?
0:55:32 > 0:55:33But they've changed!
0:55:33 > 0:55:40Granddad, that's like...like the sort of thing that happened before!
0:55:40 > 0:55:44My head. Ohh, my head!
0:55:45 > 0:55:49Doctor! She's starting to remember.
0:55:52 > 0:55:55What is it? What have you done, you monster?
0:55:55 > 0:56:00- Oh, I'm sorry, are you talking to me?- Or to me?
0:56:02 > 0:56:04Or to me?
0:56:04 > 0:56:05Or to me?
0:56:07 > 0:56:10Or to us?
0:56:10 > 0:56:12Breaking news - I'm everyone.
0:56:12 > 0:56:15And everyone in the world is me!
0:56:15 > 0:56:17I'm President.
0:56:17 > 0:56:19President of the United States.
0:56:19 > 0:56:20Look at me!
0:56:23 > 0:56:25Ooh, financial solution.
0:56:25 > 0:56:28Deleted. Ha ha!
0:56:32 > 0:56:35The human race was always your favourite, Doctor.
0:56:35 > 0:56:39But now, there is no human race.
0:56:39 > 0:56:41There is only...
0:56:41 > 0:56:43the Master race.
0:56:43 > 0:56:46THEY ALL LAUGH
0:57:39 > 0:57:41And so it came to pass,
0:57:41 > 0:57:43on Christmas Day,
0:57:43 > 0:57:48that the human race did cease to exist.
0:57:48 > 0:57:51But even then, the Master had no concept
0:57:51 > 0:57:54of his greater role in events.
0:57:54 > 0:57:58For this was far more than humanity's end.
0:58:00 > 0:58:02This day was the day upon which
0:58:02 > 0:58:07the whole of creation would change forever.
0:58:07 > 0:58:09This was the day...
0:58:09 > 0:58:12the Time Lords returned.
0:58:12 > 0:58:14For Gallifrey.
0:58:14 > 0:58:15(ALL:) For Gallifrey!
0:58:15 > 0:58:18- For victory! - For victory!
0:58:18 > 0:58:22For the end of time itself!
0:58:22 > 0:58:25For the end of time itself!
0:59:03 > 0:59:06This is the Doctor's final battle.
0:59:08 > 0:59:12He must stand at arms. Or lose himself and all this world.
0:59:14 > 0:59:15A rhythm of four.
0:59:17 > 0:59:21The heartbeat of a Time Lord.
0:59:22 > 0:59:24The Master is going to kill you.
0:59:26 > 0:59:27Then kill him first.
0:59:28 > 0:59:30At last.
0:59:30 > 0:59:33Sometimes I think a Time Lord lives too long.
