0:00:02 > 0:00:04A few months ago, the Veritas was translated again.
0:00:04 > 0:00:06Everyone who worked on the translation and everyone who
0:00:06 > 0:00:09subsequently read it is now dead.
0:00:09 > 0:00:12- Your tutor's a what? - An alien.
0:00:12 > 0:00:14What do you mean, an alien?
0:00:15 > 0:00:17A space one. A space alien.
0:00:18 > 0:00:22Will you read the Veritas?
0:00:22 > 0:00:25So, you're blind and you don't want your enemies to know?
0:00:27 > 0:00:31So...your tutor ran a computer simulation...
0:00:31 > 0:00:34Well, yeah - more like he got, like, trapped inside one.
0:00:34 > 0:00:35Can that happen?
0:00:35 > 0:00:37Yeah, he's an alien.
0:00:37 > 0:00:41- A space one.- Yeah, a space one.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44Let's just call it a sort of dream.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54Are you just completely mad?
0:00:54 > 0:00:56Is it working?
0:00:56 > 0:00:57A little bit.
0:00:57 > 0:00:58Not so mad, then.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02What are you doing?
0:01:02 > 0:01:05I'm doing what everybody does when the world is in danger -
0:01:05 > 0:01:06I'm calling the Doctor.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08Pressing send.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14So this computer-simulation-dream thing...
0:01:14 > 0:01:17- Yeah?- ..which, to be clear, I don't believe a word of...
0:01:17 > 0:01:18- Fair enough. - ..you said I was in it?
0:01:18 > 0:01:22- Yeah. - How did it go? The dream version.
0:01:22 > 0:01:26HE SPEAKS ITALIAN
0:01:30 > 0:01:32- The Pope?- In person.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34The Pope, in your flat. Here?
0:01:34 > 0:01:35Yeah.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37Your tutor has strange dreams.
0:01:37 > 0:01:38I bet he does, you know.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41Maybe he's just trying to keep you on the straight and narrow.
0:01:43 > 0:01:44Maybe, yeah.
0:01:46 > 0:01:47How do you feel on the subject?
0:01:49 > 0:01:50DOOR BURSTS OPEN
0:01:51 > 0:01:52Stay where you are!
0:01:52 > 0:01:53Clear.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56Please remain still and calm. Sit down.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01Keep your hands in sight on the table. Miss Potts?
0:02:01 > 0:02:03- Yeah.- Who is this?
0:02:03 > 0:02:06This is my friend Penny. Who the hell are you?
0:02:06 > 0:02:07Room secure, your Excellency.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11This is Miss Potts, sir.
0:02:11 > 0:02:12Hi.
0:02:12 > 0:02:16Miss Potts, this is the Secretary-General of the UN.
0:02:16 > 0:02:20I have flown here today to speak to the President.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23I am told you might be able to help.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25I don't know the President.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28How would I know the President - I wouldn't even have voted for him,
0:02:28 > 0:02:30he's...orange.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33I mean THE President. The Doctor.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35The Doctor's not a president.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38What's he president of?
0:02:38 > 0:02:41Well, in times of crisis...
0:02:42 > 0:02:44..Earth.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47Is it OK if I get an Uber?
0:02:50 > 0:02:52President of the world?
0:02:52 > 0:02:59In times of unusual danger, that status is made official.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01Turmezistan, near the border.
0:03:01 > 0:03:05This is a disputed area - potential hot spot.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08The Chinese have troops here,
0:03:08 > 0:03:11the Russians here, the Americans here.
0:03:11 > 0:03:12And in the centre...
0:03:12 > 0:03:13PHONE RINGS
0:03:13 > 0:03:15A pyramid.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17Sir, I have Colonel Brabbit on the line.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20Colonel Brabbit, you're on with the Secretary-General.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22Colonel, what have you to report?
0:03:22 > 0:03:25Nothing, sir. Nothing at all.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27It seems dormant.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30The Russians and the Chinese are reporting the same.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32Reporting what? What's dormant?
0:03:32 > 0:03:36The pyramid. We are keeping it under observation.
0:03:38 > 0:03:39Why? What's it been doing?
0:03:39 > 0:03:41You haven't told her?
0:03:41 > 0:03:42I haven't, no.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44'It's a 5,000-year-old pyramid.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46'But there's one problem with that.'
0:03:46 > 0:03:47One little problem.
0:03:49 > 0:03:50It wasn't there yesterday.
0:04:40 > 0:04:41ELECTRIC GUITAR PLAYING
0:04:43 > 0:04:46The end of your life has already begun.
0:04:50 > 0:04:54There is a last place you will ever go,
0:04:54 > 0:04:57a last door you will ever walk through,
0:04:57 > 0:05:00a last sight you will ever see,
0:05:00 > 0:05:02and every step you ever take
0:05:02 > 0:05:04is moving you closer.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09The end of the world...
0:05:09 > 0:05:10CAR LOCK BLEEPS
0:05:10 > 0:05:14..is a billion, billion tiny moments.
0:05:14 > 0:05:15Don't shut the door...!
0:05:17 > 0:05:18EXASPERATED SIGH
0:05:18 > 0:05:20And somewhere, unnoticed...
0:05:20 > 0:05:21Sorry!
0:05:21 > 0:05:24..in silence or in darkness...
0:05:24 > 0:05:26Dammit!
0:05:26 > 0:05:28..it has already begun.
0:05:28 > 0:05:29You talking to yourself in there?
0:05:31 > 0:05:33I'm meditating.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35You've been in there for hours.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38I've been trying to talk to you.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41Have you double-locked this thing?
0:05:41 > 0:05:44I'm busy thinking.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46Excellent - who needs eyesight?
0:05:48 > 0:05:50Those Monk creatures I told you about -
0:05:50 > 0:05:54if they've modelled every event in human history,
0:05:54 > 0:05:59if they've simulated entire events streamed from day one till now,
0:05:59 > 0:06:02think what they'd know.
0:06:02 > 0:06:03Think what they could do with that.
0:06:05 > 0:06:09The UN called. They want you in Turmezistan immediately.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11Tell them no!
0:06:14 > 0:06:15Oh...
0:06:15 > 0:06:17They wouldn't take no for an answer.
0:06:20 > 0:06:21How did they get it out of my office?
0:06:21 > 0:06:23The windows aren't big enough.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26Oh... They are now.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28Are you going to ask what's going on?
0:06:28 > 0:06:31Last I heard, you were on a date with Penny. What happened?
0:06:31 > 0:06:34The United Nations Secretary-General.
0:06:34 > 0:06:35Awesome.
0:06:35 > 0:06:36No, that wasn't a metaphor.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39Good, because I really wasn't following it.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42Mr President, I'm very pleased to see you.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45I think we have something of interest.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50Why don't you tell me in your own words?
0:06:50 > 0:06:52It's a matter of a pyramid.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15Ah... You're an angel.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26You look - and don't take this the wrong way -
0:07:26 > 0:07:27you look awful.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29How could anyone possibly take that the wrong way?
0:07:29 > 0:07:31Big night last night?
0:07:33 > 0:07:35There was drinking.
0:07:35 > 0:07:36There were breakages.
0:07:37 > 0:07:38Textbook.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40We going to stage two today?
0:07:40 > 0:07:43Well, it would be rude not to. You OK mixing it?
0:07:43 > 0:07:45I broke my reading glasses.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06HISSING
0:08:59 > 0:09:00Tell me what you see.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03A 5,000-year-old pyramid.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05What do you know?
0:09:05 > 0:09:06It wasn't there yesterday.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08Therefore?
0:09:09 > 0:09:11It's not really a pyramid,
0:09:11 > 0:09:14it's something disguised as a pyramid,
0:09:14 > 0:09:16that just appeared out of thin air.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18That's all way beyond human technology,
0:09:18 > 0:09:20so it's got to be alien.
0:09:20 > 0:09:21It's an alien space ship.
0:09:21 > 0:09:22There you go.
0:09:22 > 0:09:23But what's it doing?
0:09:23 > 0:09:25It could have chosen anywhere on this planet.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28It chose to sit on the strategic intersection
0:09:28 > 0:09:31of the three most powerful armies on Earth.
0:09:31 > 0:09:32So what it's doing, Colonel...
0:09:34 > 0:09:35..is sending us a message.
0:09:35 > 0:09:36What message?
0:09:36 > 0:09:38"Bring it."
0:09:41 > 0:09:42BEEPING
0:09:46 > 0:09:47Mr President?
0:09:47 > 0:09:49Sir? What are you doing?
0:09:52 > 0:09:53Bringing it.
0:09:54 > 0:09:55Nardole.
0:09:57 > 0:09:58On it, sir.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01What's he doing?
0:10:01 > 0:10:03We don't know what that thing is capable of!
0:10:10 > 0:10:13Nothing yet, all looks fine.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16What are you doing?
0:10:17 > 0:10:18Updating him.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39There's something's happening, sir.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41It's opening up, sir. There's a door.
0:10:45 > 0:10:46Nardole?
0:10:46 > 0:10:48Something's coming out, sir.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55Going by the description you gave me from the simulation, sir,
0:10:55 > 0:10:58I think that's one of the Monk creatures.
0:10:58 > 0:10:59Hello?
0:10:59 > 0:11:01We know you.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04Then you'll know that there is a line in the sand,
0:11:04 > 0:11:06and I'm the man on the other side of it -
0:11:06 > 0:11:08you want to keep me that way.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11We will take this planet and its people.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13You will be prevented. You will be fought.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16We will be invited.
0:11:16 > 0:11:21We will take this world. We will rule its people.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23But only when we're asked.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27We will talk again.
0:11:27 > 0:11:28When?
0:11:28 > 0:11:30At the end of the Earth.
0:11:35 > 0:11:36BEEPING
0:11:39 > 0:11:40PHONES RINGING
0:11:43 > 0:11:45- 11.57.- PM.
0:11:45 > 0:11:46Yeah, mine too.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53It's everyone's. 11.57PM.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55BEEPING
0:11:55 > 0:11:58Did you get that, sir? Everyone's phone's gone to 11.57.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00Yep, same here.
0:12:00 > 0:12:01What's...
0:12:03 > 0:12:04What does that mean, 11.57?
0:12:04 > 0:12:08Also known as three minutes to midnight.
0:12:08 > 0:12:09The Doomsday Clock.
0:12:09 > 0:12:10The what?
0:12:10 > 0:12:12Symbolic clock face,
0:12:12 > 0:12:16representing a countdown to possible global catastrophe,
0:12:16 > 0:12:18started by some atomic scientists in 1947.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21The closer they set the clock to midnight,
0:12:21 > 0:12:24the closer we are to global disaster.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27Currently, it's set at three minutes to midnight.
0:12:27 > 0:12:31So now every clock in the world is the Doomsday Clock?
0:12:31 > 0:12:33Thanks to the Monks, yes.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35Is this a threat?
0:12:35 > 0:12:36I wish it was, threats are easy.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39I think this is a warning.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41Somewhere, somehow...
0:12:43 > 0:12:44..the end has begun.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11Fully automated.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13Lunch?
0:13:13 > 0:13:15Well, it would be rude not to.

0:13:40 > 0:13:43Hello. Privyet. Sorry about that.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46Needed the call to zero in on your co-ordinates.
0:13:46 > 0:13:50Now, this is the Secretary-General of the UN.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52I am the President of the world.
0:13:52 > 0:13:58And this is Xiaolian, she's in charge of the Chinese army.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00Say hi to each other.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04Now, we've been having a bit of chat.
0:14:04 > 0:14:08The thing is, World War Three - what do you think?
0:14:08 > 0:14:10Basically, we're against it.
0:14:12 > 0:14:13Listen to me.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16Those creatures in that pyramid, they have studied your species,
0:14:16 > 0:14:18your civilisation, your entire history.
0:14:18 > 0:14:20They have run a computer simulation of this world
0:14:20 > 0:14:23since you lot first slopped out of the ocean looking for a fight,
0:14:23 > 0:14:25and they have chosen this exact moment
0:14:25 > 0:14:28and this exact place to arrive.
0:14:28 > 0:14:29Why?
0:14:29 > 0:14:31Because a war's about to break out?
0:14:31 > 0:14:33Possibly.
0:14:34 > 0:14:38But whatever it is, they are right here, right now
0:14:38 > 0:14:43because they believe humanity will be at its weakest.
0:14:43 > 0:14:47Then we'll demonstrate strength. We will attack the pyramid.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50Force is never the answer. Isn't that right, Doctor?
0:14:53 > 0:14:56Contact your masters. Co-ordinate your attacks.
0:14:56 > 0:14:57Doctor?
0:14:57 > 0:14:59I doubt you'll even scratch that thing,
0:14:59 > 0:15:01but if you demonstrate strength and unity,
0:15:01 > 0:15:02they might choose to step away.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05WHISPERS: Bill, take that look off your face.
0:15:05 > 0:15:06There's no look on my face.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09They did not come here in peace, we have to do what we can.
0:15:09 > 0:15:10Yeah, I get it.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12PHONES RING
0:15:19 > 0:15:20It's two minutes to now.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23The Doomsday Clock is moving.
0:15:23 > 0:15:24What do we do?
0:15:24 > 0:15:26Co-ordinate your attacks.
0:15:39 > 0:15:40What's wrong with him?
0:15:42 > 0:15:43What's wrong with the Doctor?
0:16:02 > 0:16:04Did Nardole send you to speak to me?
0:16:04 > 0:16:06Might have done.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08Might have said there was something you ought to tell me.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12Funny thing, fear, isn't it?
0:16:17 > 0:16:22Once it rules you, you're even afraid to admit what's scaring you.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25For the record, I, for one, fully understand my weakness.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30Oh, God, what's that?
0:16:48 > 0:16:51'Approaching target. Permission to strike.'
0:16:52 > 0:16:54So, why is the pyramid active now?
0:16:54 > 0:16:56Possibly they know they're about to be bombed.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04Target distance ten miles - set position five degrees.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19MONK ROARS
0:17:22 > 0:17:24Red 12. Mayday! MAYDAY!
0:17:55 > 0:17:59It's the Monks! They've hijacked the plane.
0:17:59 > 0:18:00How did they do that?
0:18:14 > 0:18:18Oh, they're fine. The crew are alive.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21Who are those guys?
0:18:22 > 0:18:23I think they're ours.
0:18:23 > 0:18:24Yours?
0:18:24 > 0:18:26We targeted the pyramid with a missile.
0:18:29 > 0:18:30WHOOSHING
0:18:34 > 0:18:35THUD
0:18:37 > 0:18:38From a submarine.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41So, demonstrating strength isn't going to help.
0:18:43 > 0:18:48- ECHOING:- We are ready to talk.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59Why don't you just take the afternoon off if you feel that bad?
0:19:01 > 0:19:03I can't just take the afternoon off!
0:19:03 > 0:19:06How about a kip on the floor under your desk?
0:19:06 > 0:19:08Now, that's an idea I can get behind.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22HISSING
0:19:47 > 0:19:48I mean, this is a trap, right?
0:19:50 > 0:19:52Possibly. Probably.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57And we're just walking into it.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59Well, every trap you walk into
0:19:59 > 0:20:01is a chance to learn about your enemies.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03Impossible to set a trap
0:20:03 > 0:20:06without making a self-portrait of your own weaknesses.
0:20:07 > 0:20:09Great...unless it kills us.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12Well, you could say that about anything.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37The human race is about to end.
0:20:38 > 0:20:41The chain of events is already in motion.
0:20:41 > 0:20:46Life on Earth will cease by humanity's own hand.
0:20:46 > 0:20:48Observe.
0:21:08 > 0:21:09Ah...
0:21:09 > 0:21:12The simulation machine looks a bit different from the outside.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15We are modelling the future.
0:21:15 > 0:21:19Each thread is a chain of days, leading to your end.
0:21:19 > 0:21:23We can detect when a catastrophe is about to occur.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25And?
0:21:25 > 0:21:26Stop it from occurring.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29You don't look much like guardian angels.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32We have chosen this form to look like you.
0:21:32 > 0:21:33You look like corpses.
0:21:33 > 0:21:37You ARE corpses to us.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40Your world is ending. You can do nothing.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42But we can save you.
0:21:42 > 0:21:43Save us, then.
0:21:43 > 0:21:47To save you, we must be asked.
0:21:47 > 0:21:48Then what?
0:21:48 > 0:21:50We will protect you.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52How long for?
0:21:52 > 0:21:53Forever.
0:21:55 > 0:22:00Do you understand now? Do you see?
0:22:00 > 0:22:03Asking them for help has conditions.
0:22:05 > 0:22:10Invite them in, and it will be the last free action you take.
0:22:10 > 0:22:15If you do not ask for help, then see the days to come.
0:22:18 > 0:22:23Theses are the threads that lead to one year in your future.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26Take them as proof.
0:22:45 > 0:22:46What was that?
0:22:46 > 0:22:49Planet Earth, with not a single living thing.
0:22:49 > 0:22:50Dead as the moon.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54You seem pretty damn calm about it.
0:22:54 > 0:22:58Do I? Oh, I'm sorry - it's not my first dead planet.
0:22:58 > 0:23:02Ask for help, it will be given.
0:23:02 > 0:23:03Why do you need to be asked?
0:23:03 > 0:23:05Power must consent.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07Power must consent? What does that mean?
0:23:07 > 0:23:13Those who hold power on this world must consent to our dominion.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16Why?
0:23:16 > 0:23:17PHONES RING
0:23:20 > 0:23:22One minute to midnight.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27You could take this planet in a...in a heartbeat.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29Why do you need consent?
0:23:29 > 0:23:33We must be wanted. We must be loved.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35To rule through fear is inefficient.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38Of course. Fear is temporary.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41Love...is slavery.
0:23:42 > 0:23:47If consent is what you need, I consent now.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50No. No, don't do this. Please, don't even consider this!
0:23:50 > 0:23:54What I saw was real. I felt it!
0:23:58 > 0:24:02If you can help us, I consent.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04Please, listen to me!
0:24:09 > 0:24:11Do you have power?
0:24:11 > 0:24:12I have power.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15Does power consent?
0:24:15 > 0:24:17Please, stop - just stop this!
0:24:17 > 0:24:22If your consent is impure, it will kill you.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24Impure? What does that mean, impure?
0:24:24 > 0:24:29You act out of fear. Fear is not consent.
0:24:29 > 0:24:30Agh!
0:24:39 > 0:24:42Planet Earth does not consent to your help, your presence,
0:24:42 > 0:24:44or your conquest.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46Thank you for playing the big pyramid game -
0:24:46 > 0:24:48bye-bye, see you again next week, hopefully not.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51Without our help, Planet Earth is doomed.
0:24:51 > 0:24:57Yes, well, it's been doomed before. Guess what happened?
0:24:57 > 0:24:58Me!
0:25:00 > 0:25:02MONK GROWLS
0:25:11 > 0:25:12What are you doing?
0:25:12 > 0:25:14I just need a minute.
0:25:15 > 0:25:16I was about to throw up in my suit.
0:25:16 > 0:25:17I did that once.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19Ugh...
0:25:19 > 0:25:20CRACKLING
0:25:28 > 0:25:29Oh, my God.
0:25:34 > 0:25:38OK - whatever that is, that is not meant to happen.
0:25:40 > 0:25:41We need to sort this.
0:25:45 > 0:25:46DOOR LOCK BUZZES
0:26:03 > 0:26:05Why do they need consent?
0:26:05 > 0:26:06Maybe they're like vampires -
0:26:06 > 0:26:08can't come in unless they're invited.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10They're not vampires.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12The future we saw - is it the war?
0:26:12 > 0:26:15Do we bring that future about?
0:26:15 > 0:26:17That would seem to be the most obvious conclusion.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19No. I say, no.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21Friend, I will not fight you.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23We are just soldiers in the field.
0:26:23 > 0:26:26Are we too afraid to disobey?
0:26:26 > 0:26:27I'm not.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34Neither am I.
0:26:36 > 0:26:37This is amazing.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40What do you think, Mr President?
0:26:40 > 0:26:43Did we just give peace a chance?
0:26:47 > 0:26:48The clock.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52I'm sorry?
0:26:52 > 0:26:53Look at the clock.
0:26:55 > 0:26:56Still one minute to midnight.
0:26:56 > 0:27:01It made no difference. How could this make no difference?
0:27:01 > 0:27:04Because it's not you who's going to end the world.
0:27:04 > 0:27:05You were never the problem.
0:27:05 > 0:27:06Then who is the problem?
0:27:06 > 0:27:09Something is happening, somewhere else.
0:27:10 > 0:27:14Somewhere in the world, in silence or in darkness,
0:27:14 > 0:27:17the world is ending right now.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19And we have to find out where.
0:27:22 > 0:27:26It's gone crazy. It's much too strong.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28It's not just breaking the root system down,
0:27:28 > 0:27:29it's killing the whole thing.
0:27:29 > 0:27:31We have to seal off the lab,
0:27:31 > 0:27:33the greenhouse, everything.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35This can't be allowed to get into the atmosphere.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43This is impossible.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45We can't search a whole planet in a few minutes.
0:27:45 > 0:27:46Narrow it down.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49They landed the pyramid in the middle of military crisis -
0:27:49 > 0:27:50what was the point of that?
0:27:52 > 0:27:53OK, what was the point?
0:27:53 > 0:27:54What was the effect?
0:27:54 > 0:27:59They told us the world was ending in a potential war zone -
0:27:59 > 0:28:00what did we assume was going to happen?
0:28:00 > 0:28:03- World War Three.- But it didn't.
0:28:03 > 0:28:04The trick with misdirection -
0:28:04 > 0:28:06don't look where the arrow is pointing,
0:28:06 > 0:28:08look where it's pointing away from.
0:28:08 > 0:28:10So, what's already on our radar,
0:28:10 > 0:28:13that we should be worried about right now?
0:28:13 > 0:28:16Forget about war - what else could end the world?
0:28:16 > 0:28:17Bacteria.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19I like the sound of that.
0:28:19 > 0:28:21New strain of flu? Plague?
0:28:21 > 0:28:23People can be immune.
0:28:23 > 0:28:25And whatever it is will kill all life on Earth,
0:28:25 > 0:28:30not just humans - plague discriminates.
0:28:30 > 0:28:32So this isn't a plan, it's a mistake.
0:28:32 > 0:28:35Somebody, somewhere, is doing something
0:28:35 > 0:28:38that's about to blow up in everybody's face.
0:28:47 > 0:28:49What are you doing?
0:28:49 > 0:28:51The distraction tells us that whatever's coming
0:28:51 > 0:28:55is already on a watchlist.
0:28:55 > 0:28:58I just put all the top-secret intelligence documents
0:28:58 > 0:29:00in the world online - in searchable format.
0:29:00 > 0:29:01What?!
0:29:01 > 0:29:02Sit down and google.
0:29:10 > 0:29:12It's never done anything like that before.
0:29:12 > 0:29:14Check the mix.
0:29:16 > 0:29:17Anything?
0:29:17 > 0:29:19HE GASPS AND CHOKES
0:29:19 > 0:29:20Douglas?
0:29:21 > 0:29:23Douglas!
0:29:24 > 0:29:25DOUGLAS?!
0:29:46 > 0:29:48- Doctor, listen.- What?
0:29:48 > 0:29:50Isn't it worth at least just considering doing the deal?
0:29:50 > 0:29:53- What deal? - All we have got to do is consent.
0:29:53 > 0:29:55That's what the Secretary-General thought. They burned him.
0:29:55 > 0:29:56He was afraid -
0:29:56 > 0:29:59I'm not being afraid, I'm being smart.
0:29:59 > 0:30:02Being smart is not giving away your planet.
0:30:02 > 0:30:06So - an accident, leading to irrevocable consequences.
0:30:06 > 0:30:07I like bacteria.
0:30:07 > 0:30:11They can spread - once they're out, you can't put them away again.
0:30:11 > 0:30:14What could they do? What do you depend on?
0:30:14 > 0:30:16Air, water, food, beer.
0:30:16 > 0:30:17Air, water and food.
0:30:17 > 0:30:19Let's say something's going to change,
0:30:19 > 0:30:21something is going to be released.
0:30:21 > 0:30:24Something new, something fast.
0:30:24 > 0:30:27I'm feeling...
0:30:27 > 0:30:28I'm feeling biochemical.
0:30:28 > 0:30:31- Check biochemical trials. - Yes, sir.
0:30:31 > 0:30:33Doctor...
0:30:33 > 0:30:37That world was dead a year from now.
0:30:37 > 0:30:39We should at least go in there and talk.
0:30:39 > 0:30:43There are about 100,000 biochemical trials going on right now.
0:30:43 > 0:30:46Specifically related to GM bacteria.
0:30:46 > 0:30:47Er...6,000.
0:30:47 > 0:30:51How many have reached stage two? You cannot accept their offer.
0:30:51 > 0:30:53Why not?
0:30:53 > 0:30:55Because whatever the price is, it's too high.
0:30:55 > 0:30:56We'll work it out.
0:30:56 > 0:30:57428.
0:30:57 > 0:31:00It's too many, and we don't even know if you're right.
0:31:00 > 0:31:02Well, I probably am.
0:31:02 > 0:31:03Probably isn't good enough!
0:31:03 > 0:31:05Probably is all you've got.
0:31:05 > 0:31:07It's your planet - I can't just give it away.
0:31:07 > 0:31:08You know what, sir?
0:31:08 > 0:31:11Finally, you've said something I agree with.
0:31:11 > 0:31:14It's our planet. Our choice.
0:31:14 > 0:31:16You can't make a deal with them.
0:31:16 > 0:31:18You don't what you're agreeing to. I don't know.
0:31:18 > 0:31:22All I know is I plan on living to fight another day.
0:31:22 > 0:31:26Right now, what we don't have is a whole lot of other days.
0:31:26 > 0:31:27Agreed.
0:31:27 > 0:31:28Also agreed.
0:31:29 > 0:31:31Doctor...
0:31:34 > 0:31:36Is it just possible that they're right?
0:31:38 > 0:31:40Being right is easy. We need to win.
0:31:41 > 0:31:42All these soldiers in the room,
0:31:42 > 0:31:44and you're the only one still fighting.
0:31:44 > 0:31:48Would you make the deal? Even not knowing what's going to happen?
0:31:48 > 0:31:51Those guys have modelled every event in human history
0:31:51 > 0:31:52to find our weak spot.
0:31:52 > 0:31:54Are you going to do the same in a couple of minutes?
0:31:54 > 0:31:56Would you make the deal?
0:31:56 > 0:31:58No, not if I had a choice.
0:31:58 > 0:32:01But we don't, do we?
0:32:01 > 0:32:03It's your world.
0:32:03 > 0:32:04Not any more.
0:32:07 > 0:32:13OK, back to the pyramid and negotiate our surrender.
0:32:19 > 0:32:21Doctor?
0:32:21 > 0:32:22What are you going to do?
0:32:22 > 0:32:24Well for a start, I'm going to tell you the truth.
0:32:24 > 0:32:26I've been keeping a secret from you.
0:32:33 > 0:32:34Doctor?
0:32:36 > 0:32:38We can blind them.
0:32:38 > 0:32:41That's how we do it - we blind them!
0:32:41 > 0:32:43Blind who? The Monks?
0:32:43 > 0:32:46Bill, go to the pyramid. Keep an eye on them all.
0:32:46 > 0:32:48Nardole, with me. To the TARDIS.
0:32:48 > 0:32:51- Yes, sir. - Have you got a plan?
0:32:51 > 0:32:54You'll be hearing from me.
0:32:54 > 0:32:57- TANNOY:- 'Biohazard. Lab in lockdown.
0:32:57 > 0:33:00'Biohazard. Lab in lockdown.'
0:33:00 > 0:33:02ALARM BLARES
0:33:02 > 0:33:05'Biohazard. Lab in lockdown.'
0:33:10 > 0:33:13Oh, Douglas, what have you done?
0:33:13 > 0:33:16OK, - there's the list of labs on the UNIT watch list.
0:33:16 > 0:33:20If they're being watched, that means they've got CCTV cameras,
0:33:20 > 0:33:23with feeds to UNIT HQ.
0:33:23 > 0:33:24Can you hack them?
0:33:24 > 0:33:26Course I can, I'm not JUST sexy.
0:33:26 > 0:33:27But there's 428 of them,
0:33:27 > 0:33:29we can't watch them all.
0:33:29 > 0:33:30Are you following me?
0:33:30 > 0:33:32Yeah, I think I get it.
0:33:32 > 0:33:34Yes, well, we're not going to watch them,
0:33:34 > 0:33:35we're going to switch 'em off.
0:33:35 > 0:33:38- Can you do that?- What good would switching them off do?
0:33:38 > 0:33:42If I'm right, the Monks are only watching one of those labs.
0:33:42 > 0:33:44How would they do that?
0:33:44 > 0:33:47Well, I suppose they'd just...hack the cameras.
0:33:47 > 0:33:49So switch them off.
0:33:56 > 0:33:58OK, so, we've blinded them.
0:33:58 > 0:34:00But whatever's happening is still happening.
0:34:00 > 0:34:02- Yep.- And the Monks are powerful -
0:34:02 > 0:34:05they can just turn the cameras back on.
0:34:05 > 0:34:06Yes, they can -
0:34:06 > 0:34:09but they're only watching one lab.
0:34:09 > 0:34:12So all we need to know is which lab just got its cameras back?
0:34:17 > 0:34:18Oh, you genius!
0:34:19 > 0:34:21Boom!
0:34:21 > 0:34:23VWORP
0:34:28 > 0:34:30TARDIS DOOR OPENS
0:34:30 > 0:34:31Oh, my God!
0:34:31 > 0:34:32No, I'm the Doctor,
0:34:32 > 0:34:34but it's an easy mistake to make, the eyebrows.
0:34:34 > 0:34:36How did you do that? What is that thing?
0:34:36 > 0:34:38It's Nardole - he's not my fault.
0:34:38 > 0:34:41- Back to the TARDIS, this place is toxic.- I'm not human.
0:34:41 > 0:34:43You're human enough, I got your lungs cheap.
0:34:43 > 0:34:45Oh, now he tells me...!
0:34:45 > 0:34:47Park her close, monitor me.
0:34:47 > 0:34:49Oh, tidy up your room.
0:34:53 > 0:34:54You have a problem, I believe.
0:34:54 > 0:34:56Who the hell are you?
0:34:56 > 0:34:57Don't be alarmed, we don't have time.
0:34:57 > 0:34:59Just jump straight to all the explaining.
0:35:07 > 0:35:09HE COUGHS
0:35:11 > 0:35:12DISTORTED, STUTTERING VWORP
0:35:19 > 0:35:20PHONE BEEPS
0:35:22 > 0:35:23It's the Doctor.
0:35:23 > 0:35:26'OK found it, lab in Yorkshire.'
0:35:26 > 0:35:29Long story, short - misplaced decimal point,
0:35:29 > 0:35:30resulting in a bacteria
0:35:30 > 0:35:34that turns any living thing it touches into gunk.
0:35:34 > 0:35:36So why is it going to end the world?
0:35:36 > 0:35:37'Has it been dispersed already?'
0:35:37 > 0:35:39Ah, no, it's still in the lab.
0:35:39 > 0:35:40I think I can contain it.
0:35:40 > 0:35:44We give him two minutes and we're heading in. Agreed?
0:35:44 > 0:35:45Agreed.
0:35:45 > 0:35:49We have an air filtration system to take toxins out of the air.
0:35:49 > 0:35:51It runs a cycle every 30 minutes.
0:35:51 > 0:35:53It's going to pump the bacteria into the atmosphere.
0:35:53 > 0:35:55So switch it off.
0:35:55 > 0:35:57- I can't.- Oh.
0:35:57 > 0:35:59Right, OK. When's the next cycle?
0:35:59 > 0:36:01- 20 minutes.- What?!
0:36:05 > 0:36:07- Anything? - 'The venting system is automatic.'
0:36:07 > 0:36:09This is going to be trickier than I thought.
0:36:09 > 0:36:11PHONES RING
0:36:13 > 0:36:14We're going in.
0:36:17 > 0:36:20Think. Think, think, think, think. Stupid Doctor.
0:36:20 > 0:36:21Stupid, stupid, stupid...
0:36:23 > 0:36:26Handsome Doctor.
0:36:26 > 0:36:30Adorable, hugely intelligent, but still approachable Doctor.
0:36:33 > 0:36:35What's another way to destroy bacteria?
0:36:35 > 0:36:38- Sterilisation. - And how do you sterilise something?
0:36:38 > 0:36:40Put it in boiling water.
0:36:40 > 0:36:42- Or?- Put it in a flame.
0:36:43 > 0:36:44She's got it.
0:36:46 > 0:36:48By George, she's got it!
0:36:48 > 0:36:50I'm not going to lie to you,
0:36:50 > 0:36:51this means that your insurance premiums
0:36:51 > 0:36:53are going to go through the roof.
0:36:53 > 0:36:55In fact, everything is going to go through the roof,
0:36:55 > 0:36:57because I'm going to blow up the lab.
0:36:57 > 0:36:59We just need some kind of a trigger, first.
0:36:59 > 0:37:02But what are you going to blow it up with?
0:37:04 > 0:37:06The bacteria is making ethanol!
0:37:06 > 0:37:08The greenhouse and the lab are full of it!
0:37:08 > 0:37:10Seriously, what are you doing when this is all over?
0:37:13 > 0:37:15We're ready to talk.
0:37:22 > 0:37:24Do you have power?
0:37:24 > 0:37:27Well, right now, we're representing the three biggest armies
0:37:27 > 0:37:30on the planet, so I guess we do.
0:37:31 > 0:37:33Does power consent?
0:37:33 > 0:37:35We consent.
0:37:36 > 0:37:40If your consent is impure, it will kill you.
0:37:41 > 0:37:44I surrender. We surrender.
0:37:44 > 0:37:46What more do you want?
0:37:48 > 0:37:51To rule, there must be love.
0:37:51 > 0:37:55Your consent must be pure.
0:37:59 > 0:38:05You act out of strategy. Strategy is not consent.
0:38:05 > 0:38:06Ah!
0:38:13 > 0:38:15Do you consent?
0:38:15 > 0:38:18I don't have any power. I'm nobody.
0:38:18 > 0:38:23You represent the greatest power on the planet.
0:38:23 > 0:38:26You represent the Doctor.
0:38:27 > 0:38:30Is your consent pure?
0:38:33 > 0:38:34Is this going to work?
0:38:34 > 0:38:38Trust me. I pop it in there. Machine goes ping.
0:38:38 > 0:38:39Lab goes boom. World is saved.
0:38:39 > 0:38:42You develop a pretty intense crush on me.
0:38:43 > 0:38:45OK. Go through to the machine room.
0:38:45 > 0:38:47You're going to have to let me back in when I'm done.
0:38:47 > 0:38:49How long before the vents kick in?
0:38:49 > 0:38:51Four minutes.
0:38:51 > 0:38:52Doctor, you still there?
0:38:52 > 0:38:54There's no way of stopping the lab venting,
0:38:54 > 0:38:57so I'm going to sterilise the building by blowing it up.
0:38:57 > 0:38:58Everything in here will be destroyed.
0:38:58 > 0:39:01- Including you? - Not if I pull my socks up.
0:39:01 > 0:39:04Honest answer. You going to do it?
0:39:04 > 0:39:05Course I'm going to do it.
0:39:05 > 0:39:08Because they're still offering a deal, and...
0:39:08 > 0:39:09And I'm the only one left.
0:39:09 > 0:39:12Tell them you're flattered but don't.
0:39:12 > 0:39:15What does consent mean?
0:39:16 > 0:39:19You must ask for our help, and want it,
0:39:19 > 0:39:22and know you will then be ours.
0:39:22 > 0:39:25Only then can the link be formed.
0:39:26 > 0:39:27What link?
0:39:27 > 0:39:30Do you consent?
0:39:39 > 0:39:41Can you hear me?
0:39:44 > 0:39:46I don't even know your name.
0:39:46 > 0:39:47Erica.
0:39:50 > 0:39:53Did you always want to be a scientist, Erica?
0:39:53 > 0:39:54Since I was about eight.
0:39:54 > 0:39:56Before that, I wanted to be a bus driver,
0:39:56 > 0:39:59because I liked how they waved at other bus drivers.
0:40:01 > 0:40:03OK. I've given us two minutes.
0:40:03 > 0:40:05Right, you need to get out of there!
0:40:08 > 0:40:10BEEPING
0:40:20 > 0:40:23Hello, I'm the Doctor, saving the world with my eyes shut.
0:40:23 > 0:40:25ALARM BEEPS
0:40:38 > 0:40:40Doctor - the clock's going back. Have you done it?
0:40:40 > 0:40:41Yes, I have!
0:40:41 > 0:40:45I'm totally the President of Earth, and from now on, two planes!
0:40:45 > 0:40:48One for me and one for my glamorous assistant, Erica.
0:40:48 > 0:40:52Say hello to the folks at home, Erica, and let me through the door.
0:40:52 > 0:40:54'Bill, get the hell out of that pyramid!'
0:41:02 > 0:41:06I can't open it. It's under emergency protocol.
0:41:06 > 0:41:08You need to use the combination lock.
0:41:08 > 0:41:10Set it to 3614.
0:41:26 > 0:41:27You're going to have to guide me.
0:41:27 > 0:41:31I can't see it from here - you can see it, right?
0:41:31 > 0:41:32How long have I got?
0:41:32 > 0:41:34One minute 40.
0:41:34 > 0:41:353614.
0:41:35 > 0:41:36Come on.
0:41:36 > 0:41:38Doctor, what's happening, you OK?
0:41:38 > 0:41:40Bill - sorry, slight hitch, working on it.
0:41:40 > 0:41:42What's the problem?
0:41:42 > 0:41:443614 - need it to open the door, but I can't see the numbers.
0:41:44 > 0:41:46One minute, 20.
0:41:46 > 0:41:49I don't understand the problem.
0:41:49 > 0:41:51Combination lock - all the sonic will do is calculate the number,
0:41:51 > 0:41:53I still have to enter it.
0:41:54 > 0:41:58Nardole! Nardole! Nardole!
0:41:58 > 0:42:00I need you to do a visual on the lab,
0:42:00 > 0:42:01there's a camera in here.
0:42:03 > 0:42:07Nardole? Nardole, can you hear me?
0:42:08 > 0:42:11- I don't understand the problem. Just open the door.- I can't.
0:42:11 > 0:42:12Why can't you?
0:42:12 > 0:42:13Because I'm blind.
0:42:15 > 0:42:17I'm sorry. I'm blind.
0:42:18 > 0:42:21What do you mean, blind? What are you talking about?
0:42:21 > 0:42:25I lied. I've been blind since Chasm Forge.
0:42:25 > 0:42:28I didn't get my sight back. I've been lying to you.
0:42:28 > 0:42:33There's a combination lock, with numbers, and I can't see them.
0:42:35 > 0:42:36You're an idiot...
0:42:36 > 0:42:38You are the stupidest idiot ever!
0:42:43 > 0:42:45But I'm not going to let you die.
0:42:45 > 0:42:48No. You have to, there's no choice.
0:42:48 > 0:42:50No-one else can help me now.
0:42:50 > 0:42:53The Monks. The Monks can help you.
0:42:53 > 0:42:55No! Bill, no! Don't do that!
0:42:55 > 0:42:57I'm sorry.
0:42:57 > 0:42:59I made a mistake - I have to face that -
0:42:59 > 0:43:01but do not ask the Monks for help!
0:43:04 > 0:43:06Bill!
0:43:06 > 0:43:07Doctor.
0:43:07 > 0:43:12This planet needs you. So I'm making an executive decision.
0:43:12 > 0:43:14'I'm keeping you alive.'
0:43:14 > 0:43:16Bill, listen to me, please.
0:43:16 > 0:43:19I don't know what consenting allows them to do to you!
0:43:19 > 0:43:22'You don't know what you're agreeing to!'
0:43:22 > 0:43:23Can you give him his sight back?
0:43:27 > 0:43:31His sight can be restored.
0:43:31 > 0:43:33Then, then I'm asking you for help.
0:43:35 > 0:43:37I'm giving my consent.
0:43:37 > 0:43:39Is your consent pure?
0:43:40 > 0:43:42Just give him his sight back!
0:43:42 > 0:43:44You can have the world - just make him see again.
0:43:46 > 0:43:47I consent.
0:43:55 > 0:43:57You act out of love.
0:43:58 > 0:44:03Love is consent. We must be loved.
0:44:03 > 0:44:06Bill! Do not make this deal! I forbid it!
0:44:09 > 0:44:14Bill, can you hear me? What's happening? Bill? Bill?
0:44:35 > 0:44:36DOOR LOCK BUZZES
0:44:50 > 0:44:52Bill, what have you done?
0:44:53 > 0:44:58I'll tell you what, old man - you'd better get my planet back!
0:44:58 > 0:45:05- ECHOING:- Enjoy your sight, Doctor. Now see our world.
0:45:37 > 0:45:40I woke up and the Monks were here and they've always been here.
0:45:40 > 0:45:43All that we believe now is a lie.
0:45:43 > 0:45:44I want to speak to her.
0:45:44 > 0:45:47All you have to do is find whoever opened the door to
0:45:47 > 0:45:48the Monks and just kill them.
0:45:48 > 0:45:51I'm sorry your plus one doesn't get a happy ending.
0:45:51 > 0:45:55All anyone's seen of the Doctor in the last six months
0:45:55 > 0:45:57are those broadcasts he does.
0:45:58 > 0:45:59I have joined the Monks.
0:45:59 > 0:46:01GUNSHOT
