0:00:05 > 0:00:08Judy! Judy what are you doing? Come on!
0:00:08 > 0:00:09I want to hear the music!
0:00:13 > 0:00:15You're going to get me in trouble.
0:00:15 > 0:00:18Everyone knows there are ghosts in the hill.
0:00:18 > 0:00:19Wait! You'll hear it in a minute.
0:00:21 > 0:00:22That's ghosts.
0:00:22 > 0:00:24If you stay out here listening to ghosts,
0:00:24 > 0:00:27they will come out of the hill and eat you.
0:00:27 > 0:00:28- They won't.- They will.
0:00:28 > 0:00:31And I'll get the blame. Now, come on.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39TRADITIONAL MUSIC
0:00:41 > 0:00:42I can hear it.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47Judy! No!
0:00:47 > 0:00:49- MAN'S VOICE:- I'll put the story in the stone.
0:00:49 > 0:00:51Judy!
0:00:51 > 0:00:53Put your name there.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55- CROW:- Doc-tor!
0:00:55 > 0:00:59Doc-tor! Doc-tor! Doc-tor!
0:01:45 > 0:01:46- NARDOLE:- Oh, where are we now?
0:01:46 > 0:01:49- BILL:- Aberdeen, Scotland, 2nd century AD.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52THE DOCTOR: You weren't complaining when it was Mars, were you?
0:01:52 > 0:01:54So why is Scotland suddenly more important
0:01:54 > 0:01:57than guarding the vault and keeping your sacred oath?
0:01:57 > 0:01:59She thinks she knows more about Romans than me.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02Oh, well that's explained everything, thank you(!)
0:02:02 > 0:02:05You don't know more about the Ninth Legion than me. You don't.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08I read the book. I loved the book. I read everything...
0:02:08 > 0:02:10- They disappeared. - Except they didn't.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13They were annihilated in battle.
0:02:13 > 0:02:14Then where's the big pile of bodies?
0:02:16 > 0:02:17So where's the Ninth Legion?
0:02:17 > 0:02:20If they'd left, they should still be leaving.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23Can you see 5,000 Roman soldiers marching south?
0:02:24 > 0:02:26Down there, by the river.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29They'd have followed the river, that's what they did.
0:02:29 > 0:02:33There is so much that you don't understand about Roman Britain.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35- I got an A star. - HE MUTTERS:- "Got an A star."
0:02:35 > 0:02:38I've lived in Roman Britain. Governed. Farmed.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40Juggled.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42And speaking as a former vestal virgin, second class,
0:02:42 > 0:02:43I can assure you...
0:02:43 > 0:02:46I bet you there's a Roman legion down there.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49Hang on. Second class?
0:02:49 > 0:02:51Fine. You go and check the river.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53I'll go and find their last battlefield.
0:02:53 > 0:02:58Fine. I'll meet you back here with a Roman soldier.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00Yeah, but seriously - second class?
0:03:00 > 0:03:02Yeah, it's a long story. Come on.
0:03:17 > 0:03:22LOW GROWLING
0:03:24 > 0:03:26- YOUNG WOMAN:- I honour you, Mother.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32I honour you.
0:03:32 > 0:03:33I honour all our dead.
0:03:36 > 0:03:41- VOICE BREAKING:- I honour you, Father. I honour all our dead.
0:03:41 > 0:03:45I honour you, Mother. I honour you, Father.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48I honour all our dead.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54SHE SCREAMS
0:04:23 > 0:04:265,000 Roman soldiers. Eyes peeled.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29they must have left some kind of mark on the landscape.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32Burning huts, slaughtered locals, sweetie wrappers.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37- CROW:- Dark! Dark!
0:04:37 > 0:04:39- CROW:- Dark! - Doctor..
0:04:41 > 0:04:43- CROW:- Dark! Doctor!
0:04:43 > 0:04:47Look, a stone cairn - Pictish civilisation.
0:04:47 > 0:04:48The bird!
0:04:48 > 0:04:49What about it?
0:04:49 > 0:04:51It said "dark".
0:04:51 > 0:04:53Yes, well that's why we're hurrying,
0:04:53 > 0:04:55because there's not much light at this time of day.
0:04:55 > 0:04:56But it talked!
0:04:56 > 0:04:59Well, of course it did. It's a crow. All crows talk.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01- They don't talk in the future. - Course they do.
0:05:01 > 0:05:05Human beings just stopped having intelligent conversations with them.
0:05:05 > 0:05:06And they all took a bit of a huff.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08Crows in the future are all in a huff?
0:05:08 > 0:05:11Course they are. Haven't you noticed that noise they make?
0:05:11 > 0:05:12It's like a mass sulk.
0:05:12 > 0:05:16Come on. The sooner we get there, the sooner we'll know the answer.
0:05:16 > 0:05:20- Yeah, I know, but...- Picts, early Celts. Loved stone cairns.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24They built them under the ground but close to the sky.
0:05:25 > 0:05:29They think they're doors between worlds.
0:05:29 > 0:05:30Iron age churches.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35What do you always find near churches?
0:05:35 > 0:05:37Women in hats.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39Exactly. Human settlement.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43It's all a bit damp, though, isn't it?
0:05:45 > 0:05:47It's Scotland, it's supposed to be damp.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53A Roman soldier!
0:05:54 > 0:05:57I wish I'd studied Latin so you could understand me.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59I understand you.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02- Sorry, what? - I understand you.
0:06:02 > 0:06:06But you're... You're speaking English.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08- What's English? - Er, what you're speaking in.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11- You're speaking Latin. - I'm not.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13That's Latin. You just said that in Latin.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18Ah! It's the Doctor!
0:06:18 > 0:06:23Or the TARDIS, or both. Something, a telepathic link.
0:06:23 > 0:06:27Auto-translate. That's why everyone in space speaks English.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29What on earth are you talking about?
0:06:29 > 0:06:31Oh, my God, it even does lip-sync.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33- Who are you? - I'm Bill.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38Are you from the Ninth Legion?
0:06:39 > 0:06:41Yes.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44Yes! Where have you been?
0:06:44 > 0:06:47- Don't you know?- Know what?
0:06:49 > 0:06:51Did you see what happened to us?
0:06:56 > 0:06:58It's as if his bones have disintegrated.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02But what could do that?
0:07:02 > 0:07:04A complete and total absence of any kind of sunlight.
0:07:06 > 0:07:07Death by Scotland.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12- No.- No.- It should take decades.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14This happened a short while ago.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18This is alien.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20Right. Good-oh.
0:07:20 > 0:07:24Question is, where are the rest of them?
0:07:26 > 0:07:28- HE GROANS - Just want to go back to bed.
0:07:33 > 0:07:37Well, there they are. The Ninth Legion.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41Great big pile of bodies.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45It's not always fun to be right.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48This wasn't long ago. Whatever did it is close by.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51- We need to find Bill. - Don't move! Stay where you are!
0:07:53 > 0:07:57GROWLING
0:08:09 > 0:08:12The Barbarians dug these traps everywhere.
0:08:21 > 0:08:22GROWLING
0:08:22 > 0:08:24- What was that? - It's what slaughtered the Ninth.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31Can you see it?
0:08:31 > 0:08:35They attacked us with a... A thing. A monster.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44There's nothing here.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49I've got to go back to the others.
0:08:49 > 0:08:50You said they were wiped out.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53There are survivors, a handful. I can't leave them.
0:08:53 > 0:08:58- Course not.- We found a hiding place. We might still be safe there.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05- So what was it like, this monster? - I don't know.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08We deserted. We were the ones who couldn't face it.
0:09:09 > 0:09:13Roman soldiers don't run, and we did.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16What?
0:09:16 > 0:09:18CRASHING AND GROWLING
0:09:21 > 0:09:24They're underground, by the river. There's a carving of a fish.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26Is that it? The monster?
0:09:28 > 0:09:31ROARING AND SCREAMING
0:09:31 > 0:09:32No!

0:10:03 > 0:10:07SHE YELLS IN PAIN

0:10:12 > 0:10:16GROWLING AND HISSING
0:10:21 > 0:10:24- How long will that hold? - Not for long.
0:10:24 > 0:10:28Now bring her through, where we can have a better look at her.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43You do realise the beast now knows where we are?
0:10:47 > 0:10:49- You're not one of the barbarians. - No.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54- So, you're the Ninth Legion? - We are what's left.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56Simon should be back.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59He was looking for the road. Our route south. Did you see him?
0:10:59 > 0:11:01- Yeah.- Well, where is he?
0:11:07 > 0:11:11I'm sorry. That creature killed him.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13What is it? That thing, where did it come from?
0:11:13 > 0:11:14It killed him?
0:11:14 > 0:11:19Yeah. He was covered in this, like...black slime.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22It knows where we are, and we'll all die here, in the dark.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24No-one is going to die!
0:11:31 > 0:11:32Oh, for heaven's sake.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34How long are you going to keep us here?
0:11:34 > 0:11:38Couldn't we have seats? What about the Wi-Fi code, how about that?
0:11:38 > 0:11:42Don't move. Don't speak. Kar will be here soon.
0:11:42 > 0:11:43Who's Kar?
0:11:43 > 0:11:46The keeper of the gate. My sister.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49Well, let's hope she's the brains of the family, because there's
0:11:49 > 0:11:52a big bad wolf of a monster out there and you live in a house of sticks.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55Nice here, isn't it?
0:11:55 > 0:11:58Yeah, yeah, I like what you've done with the place. Yeah.
0:11:58 > 0:12:04Yeah, would you like some popcorn? Won't take me a jiffy to make.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06What are you doing?
0:12:06 > 0:12:07I'm ingratiating myself.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09- Stop it. It's nauseating. - It's called charm.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12I'm against it. I'm against charm.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14Yeah, we all know that.
0:12:14 > 0:12:18- I said don't move!- I'm rooted.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21Shh! Did anybody hear that?
0:12:21 > 0:12:23Do you know what that sound was?
0:12:23 > 0:12:24What?
0:12:26 > 0:12:30That was the sound of my patience shattering into a billion little pieces.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32Now, there are only two things that I need to know.
0:12:32 > 0:12:37Where is my friend and what destroyed the Roman army?
0:12:37 > 0:12:38I destroyed the Roman army.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42Really?
0:12:42 > 0:12:45What? You, just on your own? That's quite a trick.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47I am the gatekeeper.
0:12:47 > 0:12:48Gatekeeper. What gate?
0:12:48 > 0:12:50Didn't you hear the call? Where were you?
0:12:50 > 0:12:52I had to find the gatekeeper's things.
0:12:52 > 0:12:53Sorry, wait a minute.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55Are you the mighty warrior that we've all been waiting for?
0:12:55 > 0:12:57Where are all the grown-ups?
0:12:58 > 0:13:03There was a great battle, a great battle, and we beat the Romans.
0:13:03 > 0:13:04Kar beat them. That's all that matters.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06Yes, but she's not a warrior. She's an embryo.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08What did you do? Throw your action figures at them?
0:13:08 > 0:13:09Listen, Roman...
0:13:09 > 0:13:12We're not Roman. We're not part of the Roman army.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15No, we're not even slightly Italian. I mean, I do a mean spag bol.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18Let me tell you about the Romans.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21They are the robbers of this world.
0:13:21 > 0:13:25When they've thieved everything on land, they'll rob the sea.
0:13:25 > 0:13:30If their enemies are rich, they'll take all they have.
0:13:30 > 0:13:34If their enemies are poor, they'll make slaves of them.
0:13:34 > 0:13:40Their work is robbery, slaughter, plunder.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43They do this work and they call it empire.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47They make deserts and they call it peace.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49Yeah, but you've got to love the indoor toilets, yeah?
0:13:49 > 0:13:51They're not conquerors, they're cowards.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53They're also all dead.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55There's an awful lot of dead cowards out there,
0:13:55 > 0:13:57and I don't believe that you killed them.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01Because the thing is, you said gate,
0:14:01 > 0:14:03and you called yourself gatekeeper, and you mentioned gate weapons,
0:14:03 > 0:14:05so I've got to wonder -
0:14:05 > 0:14:07what kind of a gate is that, and what's on the other side?
0:14:07 > 0:14:08And yes, you're absolutely right.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10- Right?- I am extremely quick.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13Listen, you are all very, very angry,
0:14:13 > 0:14:15but really you're just very scared.
0:14:15 > 0:14:19For now, would you mind awfully all just jumping out of your skins
0:14:19 > 0:14:21and allowing Nardole and I to escape in the confusion?
0:14:21 > 0:14:23- Who are you? - Let me explain.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26POPCORN POPS AND BANGS PICTS GASP IN FRIGHT
0:14:30 > 0:14:32DISTANT GROWLING
0:14:36 > 0:14:37- CROW:- Monster!
0:14:40 > 0:14:42We're looking for Bill, right?
0:14:42 > 0:14:44No, we're looking for the maximum danger in the immediate area
0:14:44 > 0:14:46and walking right into it.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48Yeah, but what about Bill?
0:14:48 > 0:14:53If she's there, we're saving her, if she's not, she's safe already.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56Trust me, this is not my first rodeo.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59Now, they think these cairns are gateways between worlds.
0:15:01 > 0:15:05And given that they keep going on about gates,
0:15:05 > 0:15:07possibly they're right.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14Oh! Oh!
0:15:17 > 0:15:20The gate's opening. Your friend won't be coming back.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10- NARDOLE:- The way I heard it, the human ship was called the Mary Celeste.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13Something like that. Anyway,
0:16:13 > 0:16:16the Enzomodons assumed that any species they encountered would
0:16:16 > 0:16:19communicate as they did, by digesting each other.
0:16:19 > 0:16:23The Enzomodan ambassador got through the whole crew
0:16:23 > 0:16:27and then very sadly choked on a lifeboat So...
0:16:27 > 0:16:28You're back!
0:16:28 > 0:16:31They said you would probably never come back.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33I was in there for seconds.
0:16:33 > 0:16:34Two days.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48It's an inter-dimensional temporal rift.
0:16:48 > 0:16:53A second in there equates to days of time on this side.
0:16:53 > 0:16:54I was in there for two days?
0:16:54 > 0:16:56And eight hours, five minutes, and...
0:16:56 > 0:16:58- Well, that's good, then, isn't it? - Good?
0:16:58 > 0:17:01Plenty of time for you to find Bill.
0:17:01 > 0:17:02Oh.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04I looked. They helped me look.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06How hard did you look?
0:17:06 > 0:17:08I think we've lost her, Doctor.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11No. No, no, no. We just don't know where she is.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13Not the same thing at all. Come on!
0:17:14 > 0:17:17I'll tell you about the Lusitania later.
0:17:17 > 0:17:18Oh, keep an eye out for Bill.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21You have to move again.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23Stay in the sunlight, it burns off the slime.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30- Thanks.- No problem.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35Are you hungry? Come on. You have to eat.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37- How much food have we got left? - Enough.
0:17:37 > 0:17:41- Really?- Shut up, Cornelius. Go on, eat it.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45It's two days, you haven't had anything.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47I've never been lost this long, I need to find him.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50- Who?- The Doctor, my friend.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53I don't know what I'm going to do if I can't find him.
0:17:53 > 0:17:54Well, we'll look after you.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58I'll have to find my way home somehow.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02This is the safest place to be.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05The beast is still out there.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15- You came back. - Did you know what was in there?
0:18:15 > 0:18:16The gate.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19A portal between dimensions, do you know what's on the other side?
0:18:22 > 0:18:25You don't know anything, do you?
0:18:25 > 0:18:28You just stand around making speeches and waving a TV aerial about.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32Shall I tell you what's in there?
0:18:32 > 0:18:36No. It's called the Eater Of Light, and we held it back.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38Every generation, a new warrior went into the gate and fought
0:18:38 > 0:18:40the Eater Of Light so it couldn't break through.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43But the creature did break through.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46It broke through and it destroyed the whole Ninth Legion.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49It's weak, it's nearly dead. It will die soon.
0:18:49 > 0:18:53Well, let's hope so, because there are millions more just like it,
0:18:53 > 0:18:55on the other side, and very soon all of them will find their way
0:18:55 > 0:18:57through to this dimension.
0:18:57 > 0:19:01- Then I'll hold them back. - You'll hold them back?
0:19:01 > 0:19:04What, with your lollypop and your kiddy face paint
0:19:04 > 0:19:06and your crazy novelty monster killing tool?
0:19:06 > 0:19:09- Are you holding that thing the right way up, by the way? - I don't want your help!
0:19:09 > 0:19:12But I'm all you've got. Believe me, I'm on your side.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15- WOMAN SCREAMS - Come on, let's go!
0:19:17 > 0:19:21We're all in this together. You're going to be fine.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24Marcus was hurt, like you, and the sunlight healed him in the end.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26- I am feeling better.- Good.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29Yeah, don't worry, Bill. Lucius'll look after you.
0:19:29 > 0:19:30Shut up, Cornelius!
0:19:33 > 0:19:36Oh, Lucius. Erm...
0:19:36 > 0:19:40Right, listen, there's something I should explain.
0:19:40 > 0:19:41What?
0:19:41 > 0:19:44This is probably just a really difficult idea.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48I don't like men...that way.
0:19:50 > 0:19:51What? Not ever?
0:19:51 > 0:19:53No. Not ever.
0:19:55 > 0:19:56Only women.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59Oh! All right. Yeah, I got it.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01You're like Vitus, then.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03- What?- He only likes men.
0:20:03 > 0:20:07Some men. Better looking men than you, Lucius.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10I don't think it's narrow-minded, I think it's fine.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12You know what you like.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14And you like both?
0:20:14 > 0:20:17I'm just ordinary. You know, like men and women.
0:20:17 > 0:20:21Huh! Well, isn't this all very...modern.
0:20:21 > 0:20:22Hey, not everyone has to be modern.
0:20:22 > 0:20:26I think it's really sweet that you're so...restricted.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29- Cheers. - We can be friends, though.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32I did save your life, that means we're friends forever.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34- SHE LAUGHS - Yeah. I can deal with that.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40- Why's it going dark? - The sun's setting.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42No, it's the beast.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44It's circling us, it's looking for a way in.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53It's getting stronger again. It's strong enough to feed.
0:20:54 > 0:20:59Every hour of sunlight that feeds it makes the world darker
0:20:59 > 0:21:01and the beast stronger.
0:21:03 > 0:21:04We've got very little time.
0:21:04 > 0:21:08I have to stop it. This is my fault.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11I'm the keeper of the gate. I have to put this right.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14So you were supposed to guard the gate while everyone else went off to war.
0:21:14 > 0:21:18But you had strangers at the door, and a guard dog in the attic. So you let the beast come through.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20It was the only thing that could defeat them.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23So you thought the Eater Of Light could destroy a whole Roman army?
0:21:23 > 0:21:24It did.
0:21:24 > 0:21:28And a whole Roman army could weaken or kill the beast?
0:21:28 > 0:21:29Yes.
0:21:29 > 0:21:30Well, it didn't work.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33You got a Roman legion slaughtered and you made the deadliest
0:21:33 > 0:21:36creature on this planet very, very cross indeed.
0:21:36 > 0:21:40To protect a muddy little hillside, you doomed your whole world.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45One man. You think one man can save us all?
0:21:45 > 0:21:49Come and meet him. He came here to meet you.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52He's met loads of people like you - the terrified, the desperate.
0:21:52 > 0:21:56And he always helps. He always makes a difference.
0:21:56 > 0:22:00There are painted barbarians up there. They outnumber us.
0:22:00 > 0:22:05There is a beast of darkness that laid waste to an entire legion in less than an hour.
0:22:05 > 0:22:06No one man can make a difference to that.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09Maybe that's what you don't learn when you think it takes
0:22:09 > 0:22:135,000 highly trained soldiers to slaughter a bunch of Scottish farmers.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16Yes, one man can. And he's here.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20If you're calling us cowards, carry on.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22We already ran away - we know.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25You're not cowards. You're scared.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30Scared is fine, scared is human.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33But I'll tell you what it isn't. It isn't a plan.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38- She's right.- Why are you even listening to her, Grandad?
0:22:38 > 0:22:40Because no-one else is saying anything.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45We need a plan.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47A real commander would have a plan.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56Why did he call you Grandad?
0:22:57 > 0:23:00They always call me Grandad.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02I'm the command,
0:23:02 > 0:23:03I'm the oldest one left.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06How old are you?
0:23:07 > 0:23:0818.
0:23:12 > 0:23:13Right, listen to me. All of you.
0:23:15 > 0:23:17I'm going up there to find my friend.
0:23:17 > 0:23:22If you come with me, I can't promise that you won't all die.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26But I can promise you this.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28You won't all die in a hole in the ground.
0:23:34 > 0:23:38We have to drive it back through and close the portal behind it.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41Now, the gate only opens when the dawn sun hits it. Why's that?
0:23:44 > 0:23:47Our ancestors couldn't close the gate completely,
0:23:47 > 0:23:50but they built the cairn to control it.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53Like venting an oil gush. If they let the portal open a few
0:23:53 > 0:23:57moments every year, they stop the whole thing ripping apart.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59It's quite clever, really.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01Are you sulking?
0:24:01 > 0:24:03I'm remembering the dead.
0:24:03 > 0:24:06Oh, right. Well, save that for old age.
0:24:06 > 0:24:07They're dead because of me.
0:24:07 > 0:24:10You know, every moment you waste wallowing about in that
0:24:10 > 0:24:12happy thought means more of the living are going to join them.
0:24:12 > 0:24:17When you want to win a war, remember this - it's not about you.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19Believe me. I know.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21Time to grow up, Kar.
0:24:23 > 0:24:24Time to fight your fight.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28How does this work?
0:24:28 > 0:24:31It poisons the light as the beast eats it.
0:24:31 > 0:24:35Good. We'll need more of this.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37It has optical cancellation properties.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41Now, we have one chance.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44Right now it's weak, it's injured, it's starving.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47But when the sun comes up, it will feed and grow strong.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50We have to lure it back through the portal before that happens, before sunrise.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53Now, I've got a plan.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55But I need your help.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57I am afraid.
0:24:57 > 0:24:58Who isn't?
0:24:58 > 0:25:01But you've still got to face your beast anyway.
0:25:04 > 0:25:05Can you do that?
0:25:08 > 0:25:09Aye.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27HISSING
0:25:27 > 0:25:29Shhh!
0:25:30 > 0:25:32It's nothing!
0:25:32 > 0:25:33It's the wind in the rocks.
0:25:35 > 0:25:36Forward, centurion, keep going.
0:25:38 > 0:25:42There are lots of entrances the beast could get through.
0:25:42 > 0:25:43It's a labyrinth
0:25:53 > 0:25:56This is where we hear them. The barbarians.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58Right up there, up above us.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00Are you sure your friend will be with them?
0:26:00 > 0:26:04Yeah. Basically, he always ends up being boss of the locals.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07- How?- Usually by annoying them.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10SOFT GROWLING
0:26:10 > 0:26:13What was that?
0:26:13 > 0:26:15All right, centurions, stay sharp.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17That's the way out. So let's get out.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20Easy, Cornelius, let's make sure we know what we're walking into.
0:26:20 > 0:26:21No. Let's go.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25No! Wait!
0:26:25 > 0:26:27GROWLING
0:26:27 > 0:26:29HE SCREAMS
0:26:34 > 0:26:37SCREAMING
0:26:37 > 0:26:39Quick! Douse the fire! Quickly!
0:26:43 > 0:26:45Shift your arse, Roman!
0:26:53 > 0:26:54Close the trap door.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00Block it off! We have to block it off!
0:27:00 > 0:27:02Centurions, defence formation.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05It's falling back. It's waiting.
0:27:05 > 0:27:09It's waiting to feed off the sunlight, to grow to its full strength.
0:27:09 > 0:27:10- Hello.- Hi.
0:27:12 > 0:27:13I brought you the Ninth Legion.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16Whoa, there they are. The lost Legion of the Ninth.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20- Totally found them. - Yeah, you totally did.
0:27:22 > 0:27:26Nardole, what happened to you?
0:27:26 > 0:27:28Oh, I'm blending in.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31- SCOTTISH ACCENT: - Welcome to our land.
0:27:31 > 0:27:32- HE CHUCKLES - Scotch.
0:27:32 > 0:27:33Drop your weapons.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35Oh, for goodness' sake! We don't have time for this!
0:27:35 > 0:27:37- Stay back! - Lucius! Stop it!
0:27:37 > 0:27:38Are you their champion now?
0:27:38 > 0:27:42- There is no time for fighting! - Exactly.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44We never wanted to fight.
0:27:44 > 0:27:48We lived in peace, and then you came and laid waste to
0:27:48 > 0:27:50everything and everyone we loved.
0:27:50 > 0:27:52All you understand is war.
0:27:52 > 0:27:54No. He understands.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58Don't you? And now he's wondering why.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02- You speak Latin?- I don't!
0:28:04 > 0:28:06Neither do I. Not a word.
0:28:07 > 0:28:10And I don't speak whatever they speak either.
0:28:10 > 0:28:12It's him.
0:28:12 > 0:28:15- It's you, isn't it? - Yes. It's me.
0:28:15 > 0:28:18Something to do with the TARDIS, maybe? Telepathic field?
0:28:18 > 0:28:22So now that we all understand each other, how do we all sound?
0:28:22 > 0:28:25- You sound like children. - You sound like children, too.
0:28:25 > 0:28:27- You all do. - Is this what happens?
0:28:27 > 0:28:30When you understand what everyone in the universe is saying,
0:28:30 > 0:28:32everybody just sounds like children.
0:28:32 > 0:28:34There are exceptions.
0:28:34 > 0:28:36- Thank you very much.- Not you.
0:28:36 > 0:28:41OK, kids, pay attention.
0:28:41 > 0:28:42She slaughtered your legion.
0:28:42 > 0:28:45You slaughtered everything that she loves.
0:28:45 > 0:28:46Now you all have a choice.
0:28:46 > 0:28:49You can carry on slaughtering each other
0:28:49 > 0:28:54till no-one is left standing, or you grow the hell up!
0:28:54 > 0:28:55Because there's a new war now.
0:28:55 > 0:29:02I think these creatures are light-eating locusts.
0:29:03 > 0:29:06Looking for rents and cracks between worlds
0:29:06 > 0:29:09to let themselves into dimensions of light.
0:29:10 > 0:29:13Once they break through, they eat.
0:29:15 > 0:29:18They will eat the sun,
0:29:18 > 0:29:22and then they will eat the stars.
0:29:23 > 0:29:26And they will keep eating
0:29:26 > 0:29:30until there are no stars left.
0:29:33 > 0:29:35So, whose side are you on now?
0:29:35 > 0:29:37Because as far as I can see, there's only one side left.
0:29:42 > 0:29:45If it helps,
0:29:45 > 0:29:46I do have a plan.
0:29:53 > 0:29:55HORN SOUNDS
0:29:56 > 0:29:59It feeds on light but it homes in on sound.
0:29:59 > 0:30:02- So what's going to happen? - It's simple.
0:30:02 > 0:30:05Bit of noise, lure the beast here,
0:30:05 > 0:30:07Drive it back through the gate.
0:30:07 > 0:30:10But how do we keep it there? I mean, you said,
0:30:10 > 0:30:12all those things are going to come through, right?
0:30:12 > 0:30:14- They can only come through one at a time.- I know.
0:30:14 > 0:30:16That's why guarding the gate worked.
0:30:16 > 0:30:18One Pict in there, fighting it off for a few minutes,
0:30:18 > 0:30:21that adds up to 60 or 70 years out here -
0:30:21 > 0:30:23I get it, yeah, and then the next one goes in.
0:30:23 > 0:30:26But what do we going to do this time?
0:30:26 > 0:30:27Or are you going line up Picts
0:30:27 > 0:30:29sacrificing themselves until the end of the world?
0:30:31 > 0:30:33I've got a better idea this time.
0:30:33 > 0:30:36- Which is the part you never tell me.- Don't I?
0:30:36 > 0:30:38I probably just get interrupted.
0:30:38 > 0:30:41TRADITIONAL MUSIC
0:30:41 > 0:30:43PICTS CHEER AND LAUGH
0:30:46 > 0:30:47This is worse than jazz.
0:30:50 > 0:30:54Nothing, there's nothing.
0:30:54 > 0:30:56Maybe it won't come.
0:30:56 > 0:30:59- Hello. - CROW CAWS:- Hello.
0:30:59 > 0:31:00Hello.
0:31:00 > 0:31:02Doctor!
0:31:02 > 0:31:04No, no. Nardole.
0:31:05 > 0:31:07It's probably a bit tricky for you, that, innit?
0:31:07 > 0:31:09Nar.
0:31:09 > 0:31:11Lovely. Hello!
0:31:11 > 0:31:13Monster!
0:31:13 > 0:31:14Sorry?
0:31:14 > 0:31:15Monster!
0:31:17 > 0:31:18There!
0:31:22 > 0:31:24- GROWLING - Oh!
0:31:24 > 0:31:26- It's coming!- It's here!
0:31:26 > 0:31:28Get ready!
0:31:28 > 0:31:29Channel the light!
0:31:35 > 0:31:37Keep it here!
0:31:37 > 0:31:39We've got to hold it here till sunrise.
0:31:46 > 0:31:48Keep it there! Keep it there!
0:31:57 > 0:31:59Turn it, the sun is rising!
0:32:06 > 0:32:08Back! Back to the void!
0:32:25 > 0:32:28It'll only stay open as long as the sunlight's on it.
0:32:28 > 0:32:30- Give me your weapon. - What are you doing?
0:32:30 > 0:32:32- This is the clever bit. - Well, tell me.
0:32:32 > 0:32:35The gate has to be guarded, there's no other way.
0:32:35 > 0:32:37The trouble is, human life spans, they're tiny.
0:32:37 > 0:32:40They're hilarious. You get used up too quickly.
0:32:40 > 0:32:42So what's the answer? Go on, figure it out.
0:32:45 > 0:32:47The answer is me. I go on for ages.
0:32:47 > 0:32:50I don't even really die, I regenerate.
0:32:50 > 0:32:53I can hold that gate till the sun goes out.
0:32:53 > 0:32:55No, you can't!
0:32:55 > 0:32:57Course I can, I'm going to.
0:32:57 > 0:32:58This is not your job.
0:32:58 > 0:33:00No, it isn't, Bill. It's who I am.
0:33:00 > 0:33:03I've been standing by the gates of your world,
0:33:03 > 0:33:06keeping you all safe, since you crawled out of the slime.
0:33:06 > 0:33:08- I'm not stopping now! - Doctor, please!
0:33:08 > 0:33:12Listen! The TARDIS will take you home, return journeys are easy.
0:33:12 > 0:33:15- Listen to me!- Leave the instruments on the current setting,
0:33:15 > 0:33:16just hit them with a spanner.
0:33:16 > 0:33:19- The weapon. Now.- No. - Give it to me. Come on.
0:33:19 > 0:33:23You'll be safe, tomorrow you'll be farming. You can name a cow after me.
0:33:23 > 0:33:26What about the other gates that you have to guard? What about the vault?
0:33:26 > 0:33:28The vault will never exist, if I let those things come through.
0:33:28 > 0:33:31- Then someone else better stop them. - Nobody else can!
0:33:31 > 0:33:32I can.
0:33:32 > 0:33:34What are you saying?
0:33:34 > 0:33:37Time to grow up, Doctor. Time to fight my fight.
0:33:37 > 0:33:39GROWLING
0:33:39 > 0:33:41I'm sorry, no.
0:33:41 > 0:33:43No-one else can do this, not like I can.
0:33:43 > 0:33:45We can.

0:38:23 > 0:38:25I'm as much a prisoner here as I am in the vault.
0:38:25 > 0:38:27No, you most certainly are not.
0:38:27 > 0:38:31Doctor, seriously, why did you let her out?

0:40:19 > 0:40:20That sounds about right.
0:40:23 > 0:40:25The alternative would be much worse.
0:40:27 > 0:40:28Really?
0:40:32 > 0:40:34The alternative is that this is for real.

0:40:41 > 0:40:43Do you think so?
0:40:51 > 0:40:54I don't know. That's the trouble with hope.
