0:05:37 > 0:05:40His Holiness, the Pope, the Bishop of Rome, requests,

0:05:44 > 0:05:47Well, if he's so keen to talk to me, why doesn't he come here himself?
0:05:47 > 0:05:50He IS here. He's standing right in front of us.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54Hello, ah, the Pope.

0:06:23 > 0:06:25A text older than the Church itself.
0:06:30 > 0:06:34The language of this text is lost to us -
0:06:34 > 0:06:38thanks to the work of an early Christian sect,
0:06:38 > 0:06:41the title has survived.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44OK, so what's the title?
0:06:45 > 0:06:50Oh, yes, I can see that it says, er, "Veritas".
0:06:50 > 0:06:51Oh...
0:06:53 > 0:06:55Literally - "The Truth".
0:06:55 > 0:06:59Obviously, this sect - they understood the language.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02It died with them. And all copies of their translation disappeared
0:07:02 > 0:07:05shortly after their mass suicide.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07A few months ago,

0:07:13 > 0:07:15Right?

0:07:18 > 0:07:19No-one knows.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21Everyone who worked on the translation,
0:07:21 > 0:07:25and everyone who subsequently read it is now dead.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30Dead, Doctor, by their own hand.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34The Veritas is a short document.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36A few pages only.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38And, yet, it contains a secret
0:07:38 > 0:07:42that drives all who know it to destroy themselves.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45- Confirmed suicides? All of them? - In every case. Beyond doubt.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47All bodies recovered?
0:07:47 > 0:07:50Except one, but we naturally assumed that he had...
0:07:50 > 0:07:53Assume nothing. Assumption makes an "ass" out of you, and "umption".

0:07:56 > 0:07:58Doctor, those translators were devout.

0:08:00 > 0:08:01They took their own lives
0:08:01 > 0:08:04in the knowledge that suicide is a mortal sin.
0:08:05 > 0:08:09They read the Veritas and chose Hell.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11Doctor...

0:18:25 > 0:18:28- What's through there? What's through that door?- There is no door there.

0:18:38 > 0:18:40Impossible. Quite impossible.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45Let's take a look at the Veritas.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47I have a feeling the answers might be there.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49I have to check if there is a breach in the wall.
0:18:50 > 0:18:54- I'll unlock the cage in a moment. - Sure.

0:19:28 > 0:19:30I'm sorry...
0:19:31 > 0:19:33I'm sorry.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37I sent it.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40Sent what?
0:19:40 > 0:19:41I sent it, yes.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43Sent what where?
0:19:45 > 0:19:49- CAGE DOOR CLANKS - No, stop! You'll just get lost!
0:19:49 > 0:19:52Cardinal Angelo, someone just broke into your book cage.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54HE YELLS
0:19:54 > 0:19:56Priest, by the look of him.
0:19:56 > 0:19:57Shot out the lock.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59Oh, well, he hasn't gone far.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05So much for your forbidden library, Cardinal!
0:20:09 > 0:20:12Doctor, look at this, must have been his.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14A laptop.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19Hey, there's Wi-Fi down here.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22Of course there's Wi-Fi. It's a library.

0:20:25 > 0:20:27- What's CERN?- CERN?
0:20:27 > 0:20:29The European Organization For Nuclear Research.
0:20:29 > 0:20:33The largest particle physics laboratory on this planet. Why?
0:20:33 > 0:20:36Because four hours ago, someone, that priest presumably,
0:20:36 > 0:20:40e-mailed them a copy of the Veritas translation from this computer.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42Remember what he said. He said, "I sent it."
0:20:43 > 0:20:45He sent the Veritas.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47- And CERN have just replied. - What did they say?
0:20:49 > 0:20:50"Pray for us."
0:20:50 > 0:20:52When do a bunch of scientists ask for prayers?
0:20:52 > 0:20:54The same time anyone does.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57When they're very, very afraid.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00Particle physicists and priests.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03What could scare them both?
0:21:08 > 0:21:11He's been down here for a while, that guy. Whoever he is.
0:21:11 > 0:21:12At a guess, the missing translator.
0:21:12 > 0:21:16- Oh, that's promising! - Promising?
0:21:16 > 0:21:18Yeah, at least one person read the Veritas and lived.

0:21:30 > 0:21:33He might need help, he might have useful information.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36- He's about 50 feet that way.- Are you trying to get rid of us?- Why?
0:21:36 > 0:21:39Because you're sending us into the dark, after a man with a gun.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41- Ah, well, I've thought of that. - Thank you!
0:21:41 > 0:21:44- Nardole, make sure that you walk in front of Bill.- Oh, great(!)
0:21:44 > 0:21:47Are you going to read this? Is that why you're sending us off?
0:21:48 > 0:21:51- I won't read this without you. - Really, he won't.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55- Promise?- Trust me.
0:21:55 > 0:21:56We'll shout if we need you.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59Me, too.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01Does it give you the fear, when he says, "Trust me"?

0:22:26 > 0:22:30- In fact, don't you dare do that! - Uh-uh-uh, Bill.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33You're to walk behind me now, like the Doctor said.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35Yeah, totally not happening!
0:22:37 > 0:22:39OK, Bill, Miss Potts,
0:22:39 > 0:22:42I am the only person you have ever met, or ever will meet,
0:22:42 > 0:22:45who is officially licensed to kick the Doctor's arse.

0:37:19 > 0:37:20Well...
0:37:20 > 0:37:22I listened to it.
0:37:22 > 0:37:26There's a thing on here, it reads aloud to you. It's very useful.
0:37:26 > 0:37:28Who needs Nardole?
0:37:30 > 0:37:32Where is Nardole?
0:37:36 > 0:37:39I need to know what's real and what isn't real.
0:37:39 > 0:37:42- Don't we all?- Don't play games.
0:37:42 > 0:37:43Tell me.
0:37:54 > 0:37:56The Veritas tells...
0:37:58 > 0:38:00..of an evil demon who wants to conquer the world.
0:38:02 > 0:38:04But to do it,
0:38:04 > 0:38:06he needs to learn about it first.
0:38:06 > 0:38:08So, he creates a shadow world...
0:38:09 > 0:38:12..a world for him to practise conquering...
0:38:13 > 0:38:16..full of shadow people who think they're real.
0:38:16 > 0:38:18There was a thing...
0:38:18 > 0:38:20the shadow test?
0:38:20 > 0:38:22If you're in doubt whether you're real or not,
0:38:22 > 0:38:26the Veritas invites you to write down as many numbers as you like,
0:38:26 > 0:38:28of any size, in any order,
0:38:28 > 0:38:30and then turn the page.
0:38:30 > 0:38:33All the same numbers in the same order.
0:38:34 > 0:38:35Yes.
0:38:40 > 0:38:43Let's bring the story up to date, Bill.
0:38:43 > 0:38:45Imagine an alien life form
0:38:45 > 0:38:47of immense power...
0:38:48 > 0:38:51..and sophistication, and it wants to conquer the Earth.
0:38:53 > 0:38:54So, it runs a simulation.
0:38:55 > 0:38:59A holographic simulation of all of Earth's history
0:38:59 > 0:39:03and every person alive on the surface.
0:39:03 > 0:39:05A practice Earth -
0:39:05 > 0:39:10to assess the abilities of the resident population.
0:39:10 > 0:39:12Especially the ones smart enough
0:39:12 > 0:39:15to realise that they are just simulants
0:39:15 > 0:39:17inside a great big computer game.
0:39:20 > 0:39:21But this is... This...
0:39:21 > 0:39:23- SHE TAPS WOOD - This is real.
0:39:23 > 0:39:25I feel it.
0:39:28 > 0:39:30Computers aren't good with random numbers.
0:39:32 > 0:39:34You ask a computer-simulated person
0:39:34 > 0:39:36to generate a random string of numbers,
0:39:36 > 0:39:39it won't truly be random.
0:39:41 > 0:39:44And if all the simulated people
0:39:44 > 0:39:47are part of the same computer program,
0:39:47 > 0:39:50then, they'll all generate the same string.
0:39:51 > 0:39:54The exact same numbers.
0:39:55 > 0:39:56The numbers...
0:39:59 > 0:40:02I said them, too.
0:40:02 > 0:40:03I know.
0:40:05 > 0:40:06So did I.
0:40:08 > 0:40:12Trouble is, when simulants develop enough independent intelligence
0:40:12 > 0:40:14to realise what they are,
0:40:14 > 0:40:16there's a risk they'll rebel.
0:40:16 > 0:40:18Those deaths...
0:40:19 > 0:40:20..they weren't suicide.
0:40:20 > 0:40:22Those were people...
0:40:25 > 0:40:27..escaping.
0:40:27 > 0:40:28It's like, um...
0:40:30 > 0:40:33..Super Mario figuring out what's going on.
0:40:35 > 0:40:38Deleting himself from the game,
0:40:38 > 0:40:40because he's sick of dying.
0:40:43 > 0:40:45No, I'm real. I FEEL real!
0:40:45 > 0:40:49Those pretend people you shoot at in computer games.
0:40:52 > 0:40:54- Now you know.- Know what?
0:40:54 > 0:40:55They think they're real.
0:40:55 > 0:40:57They feel it.
0:40:58 > 0:41:00We feel it.
0:41:00 > 0:41:02SHE GASPS
0:41:04 > 0:41:07TRILLING, CRACKLING
0:41:07 > 0:41:08Please...
0:41:10 > 0:41:12- ..help me... - Bill, what's happening to you?
0:41:12 > 0:41:14Save me...!
0:41:21 > 0:41:22Bill, are you there?
0:41:22 > 0:41:24She was not real.
0:41:24 > 0:41:26You are not real.
0:41:26 > 0:41:28No, I'm not. I'm a shadow.
0:41:28 > 0:41:31A puppet Doctor for you to practise killing.
0:41:31 > 0:41:35We have killed you many times.
0:41:35 > 0:41:37Then what are you waiting for? Why don't you kill me now?
0:41:37 > 0:41:40You suffer.
0:41:40 > 0:41:42Pain is information.
0:41:43 > 0:41:46Information will be gathered.
0:41:48 > 0:41:52Turn me off, turn me off!
0:41:53 > 0:41:55I have nothing. Not even hope.
0:41:57 > 0:41:58Without hope.
0:41:59 > 0:42:01Without witness.
0:42:01 > 0:42:03Without reward.
0:42:11 > 0:42:13Funny.
0:42:15 > 0:42:17I don't believe much.
0:42:20 > 0:42:22I'm not sure I believe anything.
0:42:25 > 0:42:27But right now...
0:42:29 > 0:42:31..belief is all I am.
0:42:35 > 0:42:37Virtue is only virtue...
0:42:37 > 0:42:39in extremis.
0:42:41 > 0:42:44I take it that your intention is to invade the Earth?
0:42:44 > 0:42:48The simulations have been run.
0:42:48 > 0:42:50The Earth will be ours.
0:42:50 > 0:42:55Well, consider this a warning on the eve of war.
0:42:55 > 0:42:57I AM the Doctor.
0:42:59 > 0:43:03I am what stands between you and them.
0:43:03 > 0:43:06You are not the Doctor. You are not real.
0:43:06 > 0:43:09Oh, you don't have to be real to be the Doctor.
0:43:10 > 0:43:13Long as you never give up.
0:43:15 > 0:43:19Long as you always trick the bad guys into their own traps.
0:43:21 > 0:43:26And here's the trap you fell into - your simulation, it's far too good.
0:43:30 > 0:43:32Do you see these?
0:43:32 > 0:43:33They're set to record.
0:43:33 > 0:43:35I'm blind, you see,
0:43:35 > 0:43:38so I'm psychically wired into these -
0:43:38 > 0:43:43so my memory print of the last few hours, will still be intact on here.
0:43:43 > 0:43:47- Information about you! - You are not real.
0:43:47 > 0:43:49There is nothing you can do.
0:43:52 > 0:43:55There's always one thing you can do from inside a computer,
0:43:55 > 0:43:58even if you're a jumped up little subroutine, you can do it.
0:43:58 > 0:44:00You can always...
0:44:00 > 0:44:02e-mail!
0:44:02 > 0:44:04TRILLING
0:44:06 > 0:44:08What are you doing?
0:44:08 > 0:44:11I'm doing what everybody does, when the world's in danger.
0:44:11 > 0:44:13I'm calling the Doctor.
0:44:13 > 0:44:14Pressing "send".
0:44:14 > 0:44:16TRILLING
0:44:16 > 0:44:19STATIC INTERFERENCE
0:44:20 > 0:44:22TRILLING
0:44:27 > 0:44:29MESSAGE ALERT
0:44:31 > 0:44:33BEEPING AND TRILLING
0:44:42 > 0:44:44MOBILE RINGS
0:44:51 > 0:44:54I'm doing it, I'm doing it! The essay, I'm doing it.
0:44:54 > 0:44:56- Are you on a date?- No.
0:44:56 > 0:44:59- Are you sure? - I think I'd kind of notice?
0:44:59 > 0:45:02- What about Penny? Do you know a girl called Penny?- Well, yeah.
0:45:02 > 0:45:04- What's she like?- Out of my league.
0:45:04 > 0:45:08- No.- Sorry, what? "No"? - No.- What does that mean, "no"?
0:45:08 > 0:45:10It means I'm a scary, handsome genius from space
0:45:10 > 0:45:13- and I'm telling you, "No, she's not out of your league."- OK, well.
0:45:13 > 0:45:15- Maybe I'll call her tomorrow. - Call her tonight.
0:45:15 > 0:45:18- Tonight?- Something's coming, Bill.
0:45:18 > 0:45:21Something very big, and something possibly very, very bad.
0:45:21 > 0:45:25And I have the feeling that we're going to be very busy.
0:45:25 > 0:45:27Call her tonight.
0:45:42 > 0:45:44Listen.
0:45:44 > 0:45:45If it comes down to it,
0:45:45 > 0:45:49if you're all I've got left and I need your help...
0:45:49 > 0:45:51you said you were my friend.
0:45:54 > 0:45:56Oi! Get... Get off!
0:45:58 > 0:45:59I've just been executed!
0:45:59 > 0:46:01Show a little respect.
0:46:01 > 0:46:03She's... She's alive.
0:46:03 > 0:46:05I was just a bit sleepy, all right?
0:46:05 > 0:46:07Let's not split hairs.
0:46:07 > 0:46:08Shut up.
0:46:10 > 0:46:12Night-night.
0:46:12 > 0:46:14Of course she's not dead.
0:46:14 > 0:46:15She's a friend of mine.
0:46:15 > 0:46:19- I may have fiddled with your wiring a little bit.- You swore an oath.
0:46:19 > 0:46:22I swore an oath I'd look after her body for a thousand years.
0:46:22 > 0:46:23Nobody mentioned "dead".
0:46:23 > 0:46:25You CANNOT do this.
0:46:25 > 0:46:27You will not leave this planet alive.
0:46:27 > 0:46:30Do me a favour. The Fatality Index, look up "The Doctor".
0:46:30 > 0:46:34You have an entry, just like any other sentient being...
0:46:34 > 0:46:36Under "Cause Of Death".
0:46:36 > 0:46:38BEEPING
0:46:40 > 0:46:43- COMPUTER CLICKS - You do seem to have...
0:46:43 > 0:46:48an impressive record of fatalities credited to you.
0:46:48 > 0:46:51CLICKING CONTINUES
0:46:51 > 0:46:54A truly remarkable record.
0:46:55 > 0:46:57Where are you going?
0:46:57 > 0:46:58He's unarmed!
0:46:58 > 0:47:01- You ARE unarmed?- Always.
0:47:01 > 0:47:03COMPUTER BEEPS
0:47:05 > 0:47:08- You stand alone?- Often.
0:47:08 > 0:47:11- You're the one who should be afraid. - Never.
0:47:11 > 0:47:12Have a nice day, then.
0:47:16 > 0:47:19Nardole, help me move Missy to the vault.
0:47:23 > 0:47:27Something's coming, Missy, and I'm blind.
0:47:27 > 0:47:30How can I save them when I'm lost to the dark?
0:48:11 > 0:48:14- Tell me what you see. - It's a 5,000-year-old pyramid.
0:48:14 > 0:48:17One little problem, it wasn't there yesterday.
0:48:17 > 0:48:19Those creatures in that pyramid have studied you
0:48:19 > 0:48:22and they have chosen this exact moment and this exact place.
0:48:24 > 0:48:25What's wrong with the Doctor?
0:48:25 > 0:48:28I lie, I've been blind since Chasm Forge.
0:48:28 > 0:48:29Coordinate your attacks.
0:48:29 > 0:48:32They did not come here in peace.
0:48:32 > 0:48:34We will take this planet and its people.
0:48:34 > 0:48:36Life on Earth will cease
0:48:36 > 0:48:39by humanity's own hand.
