CHATTER AND BUSTLE

0:00:060:00:09

CATHEDRAL BELLS TOLL

0:00:120:00:14

OK. I have questions.

0:00:140:00:16

You never said we could travel to parallel worlds!

0:00:250:00:28

-Not a parallel world.

-But that's London...

0:00:280:00:30

TRILLING Our London.

0:00:300:00:33

We're on the Thames. The last great Frost Fair. 1814, February the 4th.

0:00:330:00:37

Hang on, why aren't we home? Can't you steer this thing?

0:00:370:00:41

I told you. You don't steer the TARDIS, you reason with it.

0:00:410:00:43

-How?

-Unsuccessfully, most of the time...

0:00:430:00:46

She's a bad girl, this one... RHYTHMIC THRUMMING

0:00:460:00:49

Always looking for trouble.

0:00:490:00:51

STREET BUSTLE, TARDIS THRUMS

0:00:510:00:53

Whoa...

0:00:570:00:59

Last day before the thaw.

0:01:020:01:03

Thought I'd better find a more reliable parking spot.

0:01:030:01:06

Wait, you want to go out there?

0:01:060:01:08

-You don't?

-It's 1814...

0:01:090:01:11

-Melanin.

-Yes?

0:01:110:01:13

Slavery is still totally a thing.

0:01:130:01:15

SADLY: Yes, it is...

0:01:180:01:20

-It might be, like, dangerous out there.

-Definitely dangerous.

0:01:200:01:24

So, how do we stay out of trouble?

0:01:240:01:25

Well, I'm not the right person to ask.

0:01:250:01:27

OK, when you go somewhere dangerous, what do you take?

0:01:270:01:31

First door on the left, second right, under the stairs,

0:01:310:01:33

-past the bins, fifth door on the left.

-What's there?

0:01:330:01:36

The wardrobe. Pick a dress.

0:01:360:01:37

So, the TARDIS has dresses and likes a bit of trouble?

0:01:370:01:40

-Yeah, I think I'm low-key in love with her.

-Me, too.

0:01:420:01:45

Watch out, sir!

0:01:480:01:49

HE SCUFFLES AND SLIPS

0:01:490:01:51

Oh...

0:01:510:01:53

CRASHING

0:01:530:01:54

Doesn't anyone notice the TARDIS?

0:02:510:02:54

Your species hardly notices anything.

0:02:540:02:56

TRILLING

0:02:560:02:58

ALARM BEEPS

0:02:580:03:00

So, what are the rules?

0:03:030:03:05

-Rules?

-Yeah.

0:03:050:03:08

Travelling to the past, There's got to be rules.

0:03:080:03:10

If I step on a butterfly, it could send ripples through time

0:03:100:03:12

that mean I'm not even born in the first place

0:03:120:03:14

-and I could just disappear.

-Definitely.

0:03:140:03:16

-That's what happened to Pete.

-Pete?

-Your friend, Pete.

0:03:160:03:20

He was standing there a moment ago,

0:03:200:03:22

but he stepped on a butterfly and now you don't even remember him.

0:03:220:03:25

Shut up!

0:03:260:03:28

-I'm being serious!

-Yeah, so was Pete...

0:03:280:03:30

You know what I mean.

0:03:300:03:32

Every choice I make in this moment,

0:03:320:03:34

here and now, could change the whole future.

0:03:340:03:36

Exactly like every other day of your life.

0:03:360:03:38

The only thing to do is to stop worrying about it.

0:03:380:03:40

OK. If you say so.

0:03:420:03:44

-Pete's stopped worrying.

-Chestnuts, sir?

0:03:450:03:47

Come to the Frost Fair, miss. Only a sixpence, miss.

0:03:490:03:52

Oh, my God...!

0:03:540:03:55

You're not stepping on a butterfly, you're just taking a flyer.

0:03:570:04:01

It's just time travel.

0:04:060:04:08

-Don't overthink it.

-Is that what you said to Pete?

-Who's Pete?

0:04:090:04:13

-MAN:

-Sixpence to the waterman!

0:04:150:04:17

0:04:450:04:47

Just walking on the Thames!

0:04:470:04:48

I hope you realise I'm going to try everything.

0:04:500:04:53

Everything.

0:04:530:04:54

Tasty ox cheek, piping hot!

0:04:560:04:57

Lapland mutton! Lapland mutton, cooked right on the ice!

0:04:570:05:00

Get your sheep hearts here! Juicy, juicy sheep hearts!

0:05:000:05:03

0:05:030:05:05

-Oh, go on. Try this, at least.

-Ugh!

0:05:050:05:08

0:05:230:05:25

-Seriously?

-..with tentacles...

0:05:250:05:28

Bit more black than they show in the movies.

0:05:430:05:46

So was Jesus.

0:05:460:05:48

History's a whitewash.

0:06:300:06:33

TING!

0:06:330:06:35

-Argh!

-Better luck next time, miss.

0:06:360:06:38

And you're sure this isn't cow brains or sheep eyes or...

0:06:380:06:43

I caught the fish myself, miss.

0:06:430:06:45

Made it right here in the old... Hey!

0:06:450:06:47

-What are you about?

-Do that again. Toss the coin.

0:06:470:06:50

-Pay me another and I will!

-Forget about the pie, I don't want a pie.

0:06:500:06:54

-I just want to see how you cheated.

-Cheated?!

0:06:540:06:58

Doctor...

0:06:580:06:59

Don't look at me like that. I'm saying you're a very good con-man.

0:06:590:07:03

-I'm a what?

-A trickster. A swindler.

0:07:030:07:06

You see, I'm a bit of a thief myself.

0:07:060:07:09

I bet you I could steal anything from your shop.

0:07:090:07:12

Get out!

0:07:140:07:15

Ohh!

0:07:150:07:16

In theory!

0:07:160:07:17

I could steal anything...in theory!

0:07:170:07:20

-Doctor...

-Honestly, some people!

0:07:200:07:23

More pie?

0:07:240:07:25

Are there side-effects to time travel? Like, physical symptoms?

0:07:280:07:31

Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah

0:07:310:07:33

Sometimes you see lights under the ice.

0:07:330:07:37

OK, so you've seen the lights.

0:07:390:07:42

-Of course.

-Well, why didn't you say something?

0:07:420:07:45

Well, you're enjoying yourself.

0:07:450:07:47

I assumed we'd get to work eventually.

Organic lights?

0:08:290:08:30

Bioluminescence.

0:08:300:08:32

Fireflies, glow-worms.

0:08:320:08:33

Please, sir. Have you seen my dog?

0:08:340:08:37

He was right here, but then I looked away and he...

0:08:380:08:41

It's OK, we'll help.

0:08:410:08:44

Um, what does he look like?

0:08:440:08:46

He's small and brown and ever so soft.

0:08:460:08:50

Are you sure of that?

0:08:500:08:51

That collar's for a big dog. With long white hair.

0:08:510:08:54

Nice con, though.

0:08:560:08:57

Respect.

-Something valuable.

0:09:200:09:24

Don't break it.

0:09:240:09:26

-What happened to the girl?

-Does it matter?

0:09:260:09:28

-The boy's the one with your magic wand.

-Sonic screwdriver.

0:09:280:09:31

-How is that a screwdriver?

-In a very broad sense.

0:09:320:09:35

-How's it sonic?

-It makes a noise.

0:09:350:09:37

There they are!

0:09:380:09:40

Spider! Come on!

0:09:510:09:52

Kitty! Come look!

0:09:530:09:55

They'll catch you and have you transported!

0:09:550:09:58

Is that what you want? Spider!

0:09:580:10:00

Spider, quick!

0:10:020:10:03

The lights! He's seen the lights.

-Kitty...?

0:10:080:10:10

Whoa!

Stay back!

SCREECHING

0:10:230:10:25

CRUNCHING

0:10:270:10:29

Save him.

0:10:450:10:47

I can't. He's gone.

0:10:470:10:48

Do something...

0:10:500:10:51

and save him.

0:10:510:10:53

I'm sorry about your friend,

0:10:550:10:57

but the danger isn't over yet.

0:10:570:10:59

There must be more of you living rough here - tell me where.

0:10:590:11:02

-So, you can take us to the Magistrate?

-No, of course not.

0:11:020:11:04

We're not here to arrest you, we're here to help.

0:11:040:11:06

And if you show me where you live, we can do that.

0:11:060:11:08

"We"? She's gone!

0:11:080:11:11

How did you find me?

0:11:300:11:32

Get used to that question.

0:11:320:11:34

-TEARFULLY:

-Oh, clever. Yeah, very clever(!)

0:11:340:11:36

What's wrong?

0:11:370:11:40

"What's wrong"?

0:11:400:11:42

Seriously, "What's wrong"?

0:11:420:11:43

I've never seen anyone die before.

0:11:440:11:47

A few hours ago, we were standing in a garden full of dead people.

0:11:470:11:51

-That was different.

-How?

0:11:510:11:54

They were dead already.

0:11:540:11:55

Morally and practically,

0:11:550:11:57

that's not a useful distinction - unlearn it.

0:11:570:11:59

Don't tell me what to think!

0:11:590:12:01

I'm your teacher -

0:12:010:12:03

telling you things is what I do.

0:12:030:12:05

Yeah? Tell me this.

0:12:050:12:06

-You've seen people die before, yeah?

-Of course.

-You still care?

0:12:080:12:10

Of course I care.

0:12:100:12:11

-How many?

-How many what?

0:12:110:12:14

If you care so much,

0:12:150:12:17

tell me how many people you've seen die?

0:12:170:12:19

I don't know.

0:12:210:12:23

OK.

0:12:240:12:25

How many before you lost count?

0:12:270:12:29

I care, Bill, but I move on.

0:12:300:12:33

Yeah? How quickly?

0:12:330:12:35

It's not me you're angry with.

0:12:360:12:37

Have you ever killed anyone?

0:12:370:12:39

There's a look in your eyes sometimes that makes me wonder.

0:12:410:12:45

Have you?

0:12:450:12:46

There are situations when the options available are limited...

0:12:470:12:50

Not what I asked!

0:12:500:12:52

-Sometimes the choices are very...

-That's not what I asked!

0:12:520:12:56

Yes.

0:13:020:13:04

SHE GASPS

0:13:040:13:05

How many?

0:13:110:13:12

Don't tell me.

0:13:160:13:18

You've moved on.

0:13:190:13:20

You know what happens if I don't move on? More people die.

0:13:220:13:26

There are kids living rough near here,

0:13:270:13:30

they may well be next on the menu.

0:13:300:13:32

Do you want to help me? Do you want to stand here stamping your foot?

0:13:320:13:35

Because let me tell you something - I'm 2,000 years old...

0:13:350:13:38

..and I have never had the time

0:13:390:13:41

for the luxury of outrage.

0:13:410:13:44

What do you mean, "on the menu"?

0:13:520:13:54

-Is this where you live?

-For now.

0:13:590:14:01

But there's no-one here.

0:14:030:14:05

Good work!

0:14:050:14:07

Except you, Dot. I can see your shoes.

0:14:100:14:13

They're too big, that's why!

0:14:130:14:14

Oh! I see! I get it.

0:14:140:14:18

You lure people to the fair and then you rob them.

0:14:180:14:21

Very good. Very enterprising.

0:14:210:14:23

They're all right, Dot.

0:14:230:14:26

Strange. But all right.

0:14:260:14:28

And that's not how it is.

0:14:280:14:30

Oh, what? You DON'T rob people?

0:14:300:14:32

Course we do.

0:14:320:14:34

But bringing people to the fair - that's by-the-by.

0:14:340:14:37

On the side, like.

0:14:370:14:38

-Why?

-Why?

0:14:410:14:43

For coin, of course. Why else?

0:14:430:14:45

Someone pays you to promote the fair?

0:14:450:14:47

To get people onto the ice?

0:14:470:14:49

Who? Who pays you?

0:14:510:14:53

Kitty? Where's Spider?

0:14:530:14:56

Spider is...

0:14:590:15:01

He...

0:15:020:15:03

Who's hungry? I'm hungry!

0:15:050:15:07

Food! Bill, food!

0:15:070:15:09

Food is always useful.

0:15:090:15:11

Now, I know what you're thinking,

0:15:110:15:14

but don't worry.

0:15:140:15:16

These are stolen!

0:15:160:15:18

Well, eat up.

0:15:250:15:26

Ah, with your permission, of course.

0:15:290:15:32

Don't suck your thumbs while I'm away.

0:15:410:15:44

The great tall tailor always comes

0:15:440:15:47

To little boys who suck their thumbs.

0:15:470:15:50

Ere they dream what he's about

0:15:510:15:53

He takes his great sharp scissors out

0:15:530:15:56

And cuts their thumbs clean off and then...

0:15:560:15:59

You done staring yet?

0:15:590:16:01

We're going to find out what those things are, OK?

0:16:040:16:06

They're not going to hurt anyone else, I promise.

0:16:060:16:09

I promise.

0:16:100:16:12

The Doctor...

0:16:120:16:14

he helps people,

0:16:140:16:16

-that's what he does.

-And you?

0:16:160:16:18

What do you do? Apart from shout at him?

0:16:180:16:21

We were fighting.

0:16:210:16:23

It happens.

0:16:250:16:26

Are you still fighting now?

0:16:260:16:28

No.

0:16:290:16:31

I moved on.

0:16:320:16:33

OK,

0:16:390:16:40

I'm wondering why the Frost Fair's on this part of the river.

0:16:400:16:44

I bet that at least one of you knows

0:16:440:16:47

who paid Kitty to take people out on the ice.

0:16:470:16:49

-It was a bad man...with a ship.

-Dottie!

0:16:490:16:53

A ship? What, do you mean a merchant?

0:16:530:16:55

-Not that kind of ship.

-Harry!

-What?

0:16:550:16:57

It's all right. You can tell him.

0:16:570:17:00

It's a drawing.

0:17:010:17:03

Here. On his hand.

0:17:030:17:05

So, this guy, where would we find him?

0:17:050:17:08

He finds us.

0:17:080:17:10

But a tattoo on his hand, I mean, we could ask around?

0:17:100:17:13

Boring!

0:17:140:17:15

I know something that's much easier to find.

0:17:150:17:18

Where are we going?

0:17:180:17:19

All right, you guys, hang tight! Laters.

0:17:200:17:23

I was being all "down with the kids" there, did you notice?

0:17:240:17:27

-Yeah, my hair was cringing.

-Awesome!

0:17:270:17:29

Please, stop!

0:17:310:17:32

So, what's easier to find?

0:17:330:17:35

Conjecture - there's something frozen under the Thames

0:17:350:17:37

-and it's eating people.

-OK.

0:17:370:17:39

-Proposal - we need to get a closer look it.

-Good, yeah.

0:17:390:17:42

Plan - let's get eaten.

0:17:420:17:44

-CLUNKING

-Is this stuff safe?

0:17:470:17:50

-Potentially.

-"Potentially"? What does "potentially" mean?

0:17:500:17:52

Safe, with a frisson of excitement.

0:17:520:17:54

But we're not going to be completely defenceless down there, though?

0:17:560:17:59

No, no, no.

0:17:590:18:01

Well, yes. But don't worry about it.

0:18:010:18:02

Why not?

0:18:020:18:04

What have you got up your sleeve?

0:18:040:18:06

Oh, my God! Have you been holding out on me?

0:18:070:18:09

Do you have, like, magical, alien powers?

0:18:090:18:11

HE PUFFS

0:18:110:18:14

What, was that an impolite question?

0:18:140:18:16

Why do we need diving suits on top of the ice?

0:18:160:18:19

If we're lucky, the lights will come and take us under.

0:18:190:18:22

Whatever they are, they're clever.

0:18:220:18:25

When they went after the boy,

0:18:250:18:26

they waited until he was away from the crowds, by himself.

0:18:260:18:31

What?

0:18:310:18:32

Did you say something?

0:18:320:18:34

The question is - how?

0:18:340:18:36

I know you! You're the cheat!

0:21:080:21:10

I love your work!

0:21:100:21:12

The sound it made...

0:21:140:21:16

I couldn't hear you, but that noise...

0:21:170:21:20

..it's like I felt it in my bones, you know?

0:21:210:21:24

It sounded like...like...

0:21:240:21:25

Despair.

0:21:250:21:27

Loneliness.

0:21:280:21:29

A prisoner in chains.

0:21:290:21:32

That guy! He said he caught the fish himself.

0:21:340:21:37

I bought pie off that guy! Fish pie!

0:21:370:21:40

Hello.

0:21:410:21:42

Aren't you magnificent?

0:21:440:21:46

I ate that pie! I liked that pie!

0:21:460:21:49

Definitely not carnivores.

0:21:490:21:51

Which means you're cooperating with the creature. Providing for it.

0:21:510:21:54

What do you get in return, hmm?

0:21:540:21:56

What did it take for you to evolve into that?

0:21:560:21:58

The creature. Do you reckon that's what's making London so cold?

0:22:000:22:03

-Very possibly.

-What kind of alien messes with the weather?

0:22:030:22:07

Ha-ha! You assume it's alien.

0:22:070:22:09

Of course it's alien!

0:22:090:22:11

Alien, terrestrial -

0:22:110:22:12

it's irrelevant. The real question is,

0:22:120:22:15

who's keeping it in those chains?

0:22:150:22:17

And perhaps...

0:22:170:22:19

our friend here can answer that.

0:22:190:22:21

Who are you? What do you want with me?

0:22:230:22:25

The coin trick. Just tell me how to do it, please!

0:22:250:22:28

OK. Not the time.

0:22:280:22:29

Have you ever seen a man around here

0:22:290:22:32

with a tattoo of a ship?

0:22:320:22:34

What's that face? Is that a "no" or are you against tattoos?

0:22:360:22:39

I'm against tattoos, too, I think that we're bonding.

0:22:390:22:42

We're stood by the docks.

0:22:420:22:44

And you just asked me if I've ever seen a man with a tattoo of a ship.

0:22:440:22:47

-Exactly.

-Fair point.

0:22:470:22:49

What point?

0:22:490:22:50

Forget the tattoos.

0:22:500:22:52

Have you seen anyone acting suspiciously since the freeze?

0:22:520:22:55

There's the dredgers.

0:22:560:22:58

-The dredgers?

-There's a workhouse, upriver.

0:22:580:23:01

They have men out there patrolling all hours...

0:23:010:23:04

-MAN:

-Be quick about it!

0:23:040:23:05

-What are they dredging for?

-Let's find out.

0:23:050:23:08

How are we getting in?

0:23:100:23:11

You work for the palace?

0:23:130:23:15

Haven't had that one in a while.

0:23:150:23:17

Oi!

0:23:230:23:24

How'd you get through here?

0:23:240:23:26

A-ha! At last, someone in authority.

0:23:260:23:29

Oh, I do apologise, sir.

0:23:290:23:31

Does Lord Sutcliffe know you're here?

0:23:310:23:33

Does Lord Sutcliffe know we're here?!

0:23:330:23:36

Does Lord Sutcliffe know we're here?

0:23:360:23:38

Lord Sutcliffe insisted we come.

0:23:390:23:42

Hmm. Oh, that Lord Sutcliffe, yes.

0:23:420:23:44

There's no arguing with Sutcliffe when he puts his foot down.

0:23:440:23:47

-You'd better show us around.

-Follow me, sir.

0:23:470:23:49

Take it inside!

0:23:510:23:52

Same as the last batch.

0:23:530:23:55

Why all the fuss?

0:23:560:23:58

-It's just mud from the river, isn't it?

-Mud is one word for it.

0:23:580:24:02

Is this even the right place?

0:24:020:24:04

The creature's almost a mile away.

0:24:040:24:06

The creature's HEAD is almost a mile away.

0:24:060:24:08

I assume we're now at the other end.

0:24:080:24:10

These men... BRICK SPLATS

0:24:110:24:13

..why do we trust them?

0:24:130:24:15

-Hired them all myself, sir.

-Why do I trust you?

0:24:150:24:18

-Sir?

-You understand how important this is, yes?

0:24:180:24:21

It is imperative no-one discovers

0:24:210:24:23

where this stuff goes when it leaves here.

0:24:230:24:26

I know that, sir! We use unmarked carts.

0:24:260:24:28

-Are they ever followed?

-No, sir.

0:24:280:24:30

-Have you checked this personally.

-Yes, sir.

-All the way to Hampton?

0:24:300:24:33

No, to the steel mill, sir.

0:24:330:24:35

Hampton is code for the steel mill.

0:24:350:24:38

-Code, sir?

-Yes.

0:24:380:24:39

Yes, we need to use code, otherwise anyone could walk in here

0:24:390:24:42

and get you blabbing like a fool.

0:24:420:24:44

That's a good point, sir.

0:24:440:24:45

Now, these men, what do they know of this material?

0:24:470:24:51

No more than I do, sir.

0:24:510:24:53

Yes, but you're someone who knows more than he tells.

0:24:540:24:57

Well, I'm not one to speculate...

0:24:570:25:00

But you can't help it because you're a man of intelligence.

0:25:000:25:02

They won't let us smoke in here, so I assume it's fuel.

0:25:040:25:07

Fuel for the furnaces, sir.

0:25:070:25:10

Excellent reasoning.

0:25:100:25:12

Lord Sutcliffe appreciates an enquiring mind.

0:25:120:25:15

I keep my ear to the ground.

0:25:150:25:17

And what is the ground saying these days?

0:25:170:25:19

That this stuff burns a thousand times longer than coal?

0:25:210:25:25

Very good.

0:25:260:25:28

Hotter, too.

0:25:290:25:30

Hotter than they can measure.

0:25:300:25:32

Excellent!

0:25:340:25:35

First-class.

0:25:360:25:38

-I'm right, aren't I, sir?

-Oh, there's no stopping you.

0:25:380:25:40

You keep this up, you won't be working in this yard for very long.

0:25:400:25:43

-You think not?

-I can almost guarantee it.

0:25:430:25:46

You know what else they say?

0:25:460:25:48

They say it even burns under water.

0:25:480:25:51

No sh...

0:25:520:25:54

HORSE NEIGHS

0:25:540:25:55

So.

0:25:550:25:56

This guy has a pet monster that turns people into fuel

0:25:560:25:59

and we're just rocking up at his door?

0:25:590:26:02

That's his door, this is us rocking.

0:26:020:26:04

If we're going to stop him, we need to know where he started.

0:26:040:26:07

-Meaning?

-Which planet.

-"Which planet"?

0:26:070:26:10

So, you think Sutcliffe is an alien?

0:26:130:26:15

-Possibly.

-Because the creature is an alien.

0:26:150:26:18

It certainly appears to be producing fuel

0:26:180:26:20

suitable for interstellar travel.

0:26:200:26:23

Either way, Bill...

0:26:240:26:26

-..I need you to leave the talking to me.

-Why?

0:26:280:26:31

Because you have a temper.

0:26:320:26:33

OK, I lost it a tiny bit...

0:26:340:26:36

You're about to meet a man, alien or otherwise,

0:26:360:26:38

for whom human beings are raw material.

0:26:380:26:40

Who grinds up children for profit.

0:26:400:26:43

What we are here for is one thing.

0:26:430:26:46

Information.

0:26:460:26:47

We get that with diplomacy and tact.

0:26:470:26:49

Charm, if necessary.

0:26:490:26:51

OK.

0:26:510:26:53

I get it.

0:26:540:26:55

Always remember, Bill -

0:26:570:26:59

passion fights...

0:26:590:27:00

but reason wins.

0:27:000:27:02

Dr Disco, from the Fairford Club!

0:27:040:27:07

Obviously, one aspires to membership,

0:27:070:27:10

but to actually be considered for...

0:27:100:27:12

Who... Who let this creature in here?

0:27:140:27:17

On your feet, girl, in the presence of your betters.

0:27:170:27:20

DOCTOR GRUNTS

0:27:230:27:25

He's human.

0:27:260:27:28

31 years of age. Low on iron.

0:27:280:27:31

Yeah, that was pretty convincing racism for an extra-terrestrial.

0:27:310:27:34

My thoughts exactly.

0:27:340:27:35

Oh, hello.

0:27:370:27:38

Can I just say, this is very unlike me.

0:27:380:27:41

I don't normally do this.

0:27:410:27:42

-He was aiming for charming.

-Basically.

0:27:420:27:45

Well...

0:27:470:27:48

-..you're not from the Fairford Club.

-The creature in the river.

0:27:500:27:53

-Where did it come from?

-Who the devil are you people?

0:27:530:27:56

-Where did it come from?

-Nowhere!

0:27:560:27:59

It's always been there.

0:27:590:28:00

The secret's been passed down in the family since...

0:28:000:28:03

I don't know when. As far back as records go.

0:28:030:28:06

Then, tell me. Do you also keep a record of how many it's killed?

0:28:060:28:08

Please! The people know the ice is dangerous,

0:28:080:28:12

yet they will insist on their festivities.

0:28:120:28:15

That's hardly my fault.

0:28:150:28:16

Don't sell yourself short. This is the biggest Frost Fair in decades,

0:28:160:28:19

and that's down to you.

0:28:190:28:21

It is?

0:28:210:28:22

The man holding me has a tattoo on his left hand.

0:28:220:28:26

And that's not all, is it?

0:28:260:28:28

The circus performers, the elephant - that's all you.

0:28:280:28:31

I made the most of the situation.

0:28:330:28:36

It's the first proper freeze it's caused in years.

0:28:360:28:39

Why?

0:28:390:28:41

Production down, huh?

0:28:410:28:42

Not enough people dying?

0:28:420:28:44

Girl, you show the ignorance of all your kind.

0:28:440:28:48

Without that beast, my mills would rely on coal mines,

0:28:480:28:51

and men die in coal mines all the time.

0:28:510:28:54

I preferred it when you were alien.

0:28:540:28:56

-When I was...?

-That explained the lack of humanity.

0:28:570:29:00

What makes you so sure that your life is worth more

0:29:020:29:04

than those people out there on the ice? Is it the money?

0:29:040:29:07

The accident of birth that puts you inside the big, fancy house?

0:29:070:29:11

I help move this country forward.

0:29:110:29:13

I move this empire forward.

0:29:150:29:17

Human progress isn't measured by industry...

0:29:170:29:19

..it's measured by the value you place on a life.

0:29:210:29:23

An unimportant life.

0:29:250:29:26

A life without privilege.

0:29:280:29:29

The boy who died on the river, that boy's value is your value.

0:29:290:29:33

That's what defines an age. That's...

0:29:330:29:35

..what defines a species.

0:29:370:29:39

What a beautiful speech.

0:29:410:29:43

The...rhythm and vocabulary,

0:29:440:29:47

quite outstanding.

0:29:470:29:49

It's enough to move anyone...

0:29:500:29:52

..with an ounce of compassion.

0:29:540:29:55

So, it's really not your day, is it?

0:29:580:30:00

If they know about the beast, then others must, too.

0:30:000:30:03

We bring the plan forward.

0:30:030:30:05

-When, sir?

-Now!

0:30:050:30:07

In daylight.

0:30:070:30:08

No time for outrage.

0:30:230:30:25

-You've never had time for anything else. Right?

-Don't be smug.

0:30:250:30:28

Smug belongs to me.

0:30:290:30:31

Are you really 2,000 years old?

0:30:340:30:36

Why?

0:30:370:30:38

I just wanted to know how long it takes,

0:30:390:30:42

before you can make a speech like the one you just made.

0:30:420:30:45

It was worth the wait.

0:30:460:30:48

Come on, out!

0:30:590:31:01

Get in there!

0:31:090:31:10

Sit down and shut up.

0:31:100:31:12

It could be rum.

0:31:120:31:14

Rum came in barrels.

0:31:150:31:16

THEY GRUNT

0:31:160:31:18

Nah, smell that.

0:31:180:31:20

It's their home-made rocket fuel, redeployed as explosive.

0:31:200:31:23

It's a little reckless, don't you think?

0:31:230:31:25

Half the fair disappears into the river,

0:31:250:31:27

-the secret of your success won't be a secret any more.

-Hardly.

0:31:270:31:30

The city will pause to mourn

0:31:300:31:32

a fireworks display gone tragically awry,

0:31:320:31:34

and the creature will be fed.

0:31:340:31:37

By spring, this will be a footnote in history.

0:31:370:31:40

That is progress.

0:31:400:31:44

They're bringing the elephant out presently.

0:31:440:31:46

We won't get bigger crowds than that,

0:31:460:31:48

so make sure you're off the ice by noon.

0:31:480:31:51

Noon? There's no way you can keep us here that long.

0:31:510:31:54

We'll just scream our heads off.

0:31:540:31:56

-No. No, please, please, please...

-HE-E-E-E-E...

SHE COUGHS If you're quite finished,

0:32:110:32:14

I could use some help.

0:32:140:32:15

Sonic screwdriver. Inside pocket.

0:32:180:32:20

Oh, OK.

0:32:200:32:21

Yeah, bit more...

0:32:270:32:30

-Kick it!

-Ah, OK.

0:32:310:32:33

Can you...?

0:32:330:32:35

That's it.

0:32:390:32:41

Um...Doctor?

0:32:450:32:47

Huh?

0:32:470:32:48

Oh, hello!

0:32:480:32:50

How are you doing that?

0:32:500:32:52

Er...

0:32:520:32:53

Sonic screwdriver.

0:32:560:32:58

It makes a noise. That's how the fish choose a victim -

0:32:580:33:01

that's how they know they've isolated someone on the ice.

0:33:010:33:04

Better question - WHY are you doing that?

0:33:040:33:07

Just...a little more.

0:33:070:33:08

What are you...?

0:33:140:33:16

Give me that!

0:33:170:33:19

SCREECHING

0:33:210:33:23

-What the...?

-Turn it off. There's a button on the side!

0:33:250:33:27

SCREECHING

0:33:270:33:29

Here! Give it here!

0:33:300:33:33

HE YELLS

0:33:330:33:34

SPLASHING

0:33:340:33:35

Afraid it has a knack to it.

0:33:350:33:37

Bill. Miss Potts? I need you with me.

0:33:450:33:48

I...

0:33:480:33:49

Things to do, Bill. Decisions to make. What are we doing about Tiny?

0:33:510:33:53

-Tiny?

-The creature. The loch-less monster.

0:33:550:33:57

The not-so-little mermaid. Are we just going to leave her down there?

0:33:570:34:00

We can't set her free.

0:34:000:34:02

She could burst up out of the water and eat 100 people

0:34:030:34:05

right off of Southbank! She could eat half of London!

0:34:050:34:09

She might. It's a risk.

0:34:090:34:10

So, what do you want to do, Bill?

0:34:100:34:13

We already know the answers.

0:34:130:34:15

-Why are you even asking?

-I don't know the answers.

0:34:150:34:17

Only idiots know the answers.

0:34:170:34:20

But if your future is built on the suffering of that creature,

0:34:200:34:23

what's your future worth?

0:34:230:34:24

Why is it up to me?

0:34:270:34:29

Because it can't be up to me. Your people, your planet.

0:34:290:34:32

I serve at the pleasure of the human race, and right now, that's you.

0:34:320:34:35

Give me an order.

0:34:350:34:37

Not long till noon.

0:34:370:34:39

I need an order.

0:34:400:34:41

Save her.

0:34:550:34:56

I'll take care of this. You get everyone off the ice.

0:34:590:35:02

Fido was right there, but when I turned back he was gone!

0:35:020:35:06

-Need help, need it now. Are you in?

-Where's your friend?

-Not here.

0:35:060:35:11

-What's he doing?

-Not sure.

0:35:110:35:13

But whatever it is, I don't think we're going to miss it.

0:35:130:35:16

-The thaw! The thaw is here!

-A lady fell through the ice!

0:35:160:35:19

PANICKED SHOUTING

0:35:190:35:22

-The ice is melting!

-Quick! Get to the shore!

0:35:220:35:25

-The ice is melting!

-The ice!

0:35:290:35:32

PANICKED SHOUTING

0:35:320:35:35

It's a mistake!

0:35:350:35:37

The ice isn't melting.

0:35:370:35:39

I swear to you, there's no thaw!

0:35:390:35:41

SHOUTING

0:35:410:35:42

HE GRUNTS

0:35:430:35:45

The ice is melting!

0:35:450:35:46

-Quickly, quickly, that's it.

-Move!

0:35:460:35:51

Come on! Hurry!

0:35:570:35:59

Come on!

0:35:590:36:00

Something's happened - they've got the word out.

0:36:000:36:03

We blow it now!

0:36:030:36:05

No, not yet...

0:36:060:36:08

Harriet!

0:36:100:36:12

Run!

0:36:120:36:13

-But there's still people...

-Forget them. There's no time!

0:36:130:36:16

Kitty!

0:36:160:36:17

Run!

0:36:170:36:18

NOW!

Bill!

0:37:410:37:42

You did it!

0:37:420:37:43

She's free!

ROARING

0:38:040:38:06

Go!

0:38:090:38:11

Where will she go?

0:38:110:38:12

Somewhere cold, I imagine.

0:38:120:38:13

Hopefully, she's smart enough to avoid you lot now.

0:38:130:38:17

What if she isn't? What if we just, like, doomed Greenland?

0:38:170:38:22

I'll check in on Greenland.

0:38:220:38:24

How long is she?!

0:38:280:38:31

SHE SQUEAKS AND SINGS

0:38:400:38:43

Can you hear that?

0:38:430:38:45

Harry, look!

0:38:500:38:52

BELL RINGS

0:38:570:38:58

No pinching anything, you hear me?

0:38:580:39:00

And no staring like gapeseeds when the lady talks peculiar. It's rude.

0:39:000:39:05

Get a load of you lot.

0:39:070:39:08

Cute as!

0:39:080:39:10

Come on, then!

0:39:100:39:11

You going to tell us what we're here for?

0:39:140:39:17

A very long time, I hope.

0:39:170:39:19

Go on.

0:39:300:39:32

Eat as much as you like.

0:39:320:39:33

DOCTOR PUFFS

0:39:330:39:35

You, boy! Remind me. What's your name?

0:39:390:39:42

-MUFFLED:

-Perry.

0:39:420:39:44

Perry. His name's Perry.

0:39:450:39:46

Why?

0:39:460:39:48

Apparently, Lord Sutcliffe's long-lost heir can't be a girl.

0:39:490:39:53

RHYTHMIC THRUMMING

0:40:020:40:06

We must have changed something, right?

0:40:090:40:12

I mean, people saw a monster in the Thames.

0:40:120:40:15

Well, it doesn't look any different.

0:40:150:40:17

-DOCTOR SIGHS

-All right. There you go.

0:40:190:40:23

There's your tea.

0:40:230:40:25

I put a bit of coffee in it, as well, just to give it some flavour.

0:40:250:40:29

See, it's much better...

0:40:290:40:31

-CROCKERY TINKLES

-..when you stick to your oath?

0:40:310:40:34

Oh, sir! No! This is unacceptable!

0:40:370:40:40

This is beyond unacceptable. This is naughty.

0:40:400:40:42

-Language.

-I don't get it.

0:40:420:40:44

"London, 1814."

0:40:440:40:46

"Monster", "sea creature", "serpent",

0:40:460:40:49

"really, really big fish". Nothing.

0:40:490:40:53

Sir! You said you wouldn't be going off-world!

0:40:530:40:56

Do these look like off-world clothes to you?

0:40:560:40:59

But, sir, you said you'd be coming back to your office!

0:40:590:41:01

Look, here I am. I'm in my office.

0:41:010:41:05

I'm drinking my tea.

0:41:050:41:06

In my specially chosen tea clothes.

0:41:060:41:09

I don't understand. How could it not have been headline news?

0:41:090:41:12

Never underestimate the collective human ability

0:41:120:41:14

to overlook the inexplicable.

0:41:140:41:16

Also, the Frost Fair involved a lot of day drinking.

0:41:160:41:19

May I?

0:41:190:41:20

You can always rely upon the papers to miss a headline.

0:41:220:41:24

"Lord Sutcliffe drowns in snap thaw...

0:41:240:41:27

"Shock as steel fortune is passed to street urchin"!

0:41:270:41:30

Sir.

0:41:300:41:31

We need to talk. Your oath.

0:41:310:41:33

-Give us a coin.

-What?

0:41:330:41:35

"The new Lord Sutcliffe was found starving on London's streets..."

0:41:350:41:39

The inheritance was contested, everyone got super mad...

0:41:390:41:42

blah, blah, blah...

0:41:420:41:44

"Urchin boy deemed legitimate"!

0:41:440:41:46

Oh, my God! It worked!

0:41:460:41:48

You did it.

0:41:480:41:50

You saved them.

0:41:510:41:52

You did.

0:41:530:41:55

You gave the order...boss.

0:41:550:41:58

Sir...

0:41:580:41:59

Give me a coin.

0:42:010:42:03

We'll toss for it.

0:42:040:42:06

Heads, the TARDIS stays put.

0:42:060:42:07

Tails...

0:42:080:42:10

..you leave me alone.

0:42:110:42:13

Leave him alone.

0:42:170:42:18

Chance would be a fine thing!

0:42:180:42:20

Leave ME alone.

0:42:200:42:22

How about that for a new idea?

0:42:220:42:24

I didn't ask to be re-assembled, did I?

0:42:240:42:27

HEAVY KNOCKING

0:42:270:42:29

Knocking.

0:42:290:42:30

What was that about?

0:42:320:42:34

No-one's going to open the door, just because you're knocking!

0:42:350:42:38

HEAVY KNOCKING

0:42:380:42:39

Oh! Getting cocky now, are you?

0:42:390:42:42

Why?

0:42:420:42:44

What do you think you know?

0:42:440:42:45

What has he told you?

0:42:480:42:49

HEAVY KNOCKING

0:42:490:42:51

Because, yeah, he may have a little friend now

0:42:510:42:54

and, yeah, he may be a little bit distracted

0:42:540:42:56

but I tell you something, I'm still here

0:42:560:42:59

and as long as I'm still here, you are going nowhere!

0:42:590:43:03

LOUD KNOCKING, HE WHIMPERS

0:43:030:43:06

Are you looking for somewhere to live?

0:43:100:43:12

That's your house?

0:43:140:43:15

Sharing, yeah. Six of us.

0:43:150:43:17

-How do you get into the Tower?

-You don't.

0:43:170:43:20

What's that noise?

0:43:200:43:21

There's some massive mystery going on.

0:43:210:43:23

See you in the morning.

0:43:230:43:26

The house is...eating people. CREAKING

THUNDER RUMBLES

0:43:280:43:30

CLUNKING

0:43:300:43:31

No, no! No, no, no! There's something in here!

0:43:310:43:34

Come, come! Come back! Hey!

0:43:340:43:35

-SHE SCREAMS

-You signed the contract.

0:43:350:43:37

It's time to pay.
