A few months ago, the Veritas was translated again.

0:00:020:00:04

Everyone who worked on the translation and everyone who

0:00:040:00:06

subsequently read it is now dead.

0:00:060:00:09

-Your tutor's a what?

-An alien.

0:00:090:00:12

What do you mean, an alien?

0:00:120:00:14

A space one. A space alien.

0:00:150:00:17

Will you read the Veritas?

0:00:180:00:22

So, you're blind and you don't want your enemies to know?

0:00:220:00:25

So...your tutor ran a computer simulation...

0:00:270:00:31

Well, yeah - more like he got, like, trapped inside one.

0:00:310:00:34

Can that happen?

0:00:340:00:35

Yeah, he's an alien.

0:00:350:00:37

-A space one.

-Yeah, a space one.

0:00:370:00:41

Let's just call it a sort of dream.

0:00:410:00:44

Are you just completely mad?

0:00:520:00:54

Is it working?

0:00:540:00:56

A little bit.

0:00:560:00:57

Not so mad, then.

0:00:570:00:58

What are you doing?

0:01:000:01:02

I'm doing what everybody does when the world is in danger -

0:01:020:01:05

I'm calling the Doctor.

0:01:050:01:06

Pressing send.

0:01:060:01:08

So this computer-simulation-dream thing...

0:01:110:01:14

-Yeah?

-..which, to be clear, I don't believe a word of...

0:01:140:01:17

-Fair enough.

-..you said I was in it?

0:01:170:01:18

-Yeah.

-How did it go? The dream version.

0:01:180:01:22

HE SPEAKS ITALIAN

0:01:220:01:26

-The Pope?

-In person.

0:01:300:01:32

The Pope, in your flat. Here?

0:01:320:01:34

Yeah.

0:01:340:01:35

Your tutor has strange dreams.

0:01:350:01:37

I bet he does, you know.

0:01:370:01:38

Maybe he's just trying to keep you on the straight and narrow.

0:01:380:01:41

Maybe, yeah.

0:01:430:01:44

How do you feel on the subject?

0:01:460:01:47

DOOR BURSTS OPEN

0:01:490:01:50

Stay where you are!

0:01:510:01:52

Clear.

0:01:520:01:53

Please remain still and calm. Sit down.

0:01:530:01:56

Keep your hands in sight on the table. Miss Potts?

0:01:580:02:01

-Yeah.

-Who is this?

0:02:010:02:03

This is my friend Penny. Who the hell are you?

0:02:030:02:06

Room secure, your Excellency.

0:02:060:02:07

This is Miss Potts, sir.

0:02:090:02:11

Hi.

0:02:110:02:12

Miss Potts, this is the Secretary-General of the UN.

0:02:120:02:16

I have flown here today to speak to the President.

0:02:160:02:20

I am told you might be able to help.

0:02:200:02:23

I don't know the President.

0:02:230:02:25

How would I know the President - I wouldn't even have voted for him,

0:02:250:02:28

he's...orange.

0:02:280:02:30

I mean THE President. The Doctor.

0:02:300:02:33

The Doctor's not a president.

0:02:330:02:35

What's he president of?

0:02:350:02:38

Well, in times of crisis...

0:02:380:02:41

..Earth.

0:02:420:02:44

Is it OK if I get an Uber?

0:02:450:02:47

President of the world?

0:02:500:02:52

In times of unusual danger, that status is made official.

0:02:520:02:59

Turmezistan, near the border.

0:02:590:03:01

This is a disputed area - potential hot spot.

0:03:010:03:05

The Chinese have troops here,

0:03:050:03:08

the Russians here, the Americans here.

0:03:080:03:11

And in the centre...

0:03:110:03:12

PHONE RINGS

0:03:120:03:13

A pyramid.

0:03:130:03:15

Sir, I have Colonel Brabbit on the line.

0:03:150:03:17

Colonel Brabbit, you're on with the Secretary-General.

0:03:170:03:20

Colonel, what have you to report?

0:03:200:03:22

Nothing, sir. Nothing at all.

0:03:220:03:25

It seems dormant.

0:03:250:03:27

The Russians and the Chinese are reporting the same.

0:03:270:03:30

Reporting what? What's dormant?

0:03:300:03:32

The pyramid. We are keeping it under observation.

0:03:320:03:36

Why? What's it been doing?

0:03:380:03:39

You haven't told her?

0:03:390:03:41

I haven't, no.

0:03:410:03:42

'It's a 5,000-year-old pyramid.

0:03:420:03:44

'But there's one problem with that.'

0:03:440:03:46

One little problem.

0:03:460:03:47

It wasn't there yesterday.

0:03:490:03:50

ELECTRIC GUITAR PLAYING

0:04:400:04:41

The end of your life has already begun.

0:04:430:04:46

There is a last place you will ever go,

0:04:500:04:54

a last door you will ever walk through,

0:04:540:04:57

a last sight you will ever see,

0:04:570:05:00

and every step you ever take

0:05:000:05:02

is moving you closer.

0:05:020:05:04

The end of the world...

0:05:070:05:09

CAR LOCK BLEEPS

0:05:090:05:10

..is a billion, billion tiny moments.

0:05:100:05:14

Don't shut the door...!

0:05:140:05:15

EXASPERATED SIGH

0:05:170:05:18

And somewhere, unnoticed...

0:05:180:05:20

Sorry!

0:05:200:05:21

..in silence or in darkness...

0:05:210:05:24

Dammit!

0:05:240:05:26

..it has already begun.

0:05:260:05:28

You talking to yourself in there?

0:05:280:05:29

I'm meditating.

0:05:310:05:33

You've been in there for hours.

0:05:330:05:35

I've been trying to talk to you.

0:05:350:05:38

Have you double-locked this thing?

0:05:380:05:41

I'm busy thinking.

0:05:410:05:44

Excellent - who needs eyesight?

0:05:440:05:46

Those Monk creatures I told you about -

0:05:480:05:50

if they've modelled every event in human history,

0:05:500:05:54

if they've simulated entire events streamed from day one till now,

0:05:540:05:59

think what they'd know.

0:05:590:06:02

Think what they could do with that.

0:06:020:06:03

The UN called. They want you in Turmezistan immediately.

0:06:050:06:09

Tell them no!

0:06:090:06:11

Oh...

0:06:140:06:15

They wouldn't take no for an answer.

0:06:150:06:17

How did they get it out of my office?

0:06:200:06:21

The windows aren't big enough.

0:06:210:06:23

Oh... They are now.

0:06:230:06:26

Are you going to ask what's going on?

0:06:260:06:28

Last I heard, you were on a date with Penny. What happened?

0:06:280:06:31

The United Nations Secretary-General.

0:06:310:06:34

Awesome.

0:06:340:06:35

No, that wasn't a metaphor.

0:06:350:06:36

Good, because I really wasn't following it.

0:06:360:06:39

Mr President, I'm very pleased to see you.

0:06:390:06:42

I think we have something of interest.

0:06:420:06:45

Why don't you tell me in your own words?

0:06:480:06:50

It's a matter of a pyramid.

0:06:500:06:52

Ah... You're an angel.

0:07:130:07:15

You look - and don't take this the wrong way -

0:07:230:07:26

you look awful.

0:07:260:07:27

How could anyone possibly take that the wrong way?

0:07:270:07:29

Big night last night?

0:07:290:07:31

There was drinking.

0:07:330:07:35

There were breakages.

0:07:350:07:36

Textbook.

0:07:370:07:38

We going to stage two today?

0:07:380:07:40

Well, it would be rude not to. You OK mixing it?

0:07:400:07:43

I broke my reading glasses.

0:07:430:07:45

HISSING

0:08:040:08:06

Tell me what you see.

0:08:590:09:00

A 5,000-year-old pyramid.

0:09:000:09:03

What do you know?

0:09:030:09:05

It wasn't there yesterday.

0:09:050:09:06

Therefore?

0:09:060:09:08

It's not really a pyramid,

0:09:090:09:11

it's something disguised as a pyramid,

0:09:110:09:14

that just appeared out of thin air.

0:09:140:09:16

That's all way beyond human technology,

0:09:160:09:18

so it's got to be alien.

0:09:180:09:20

It's an alien space ship.

0:09:200:09:21

There you go.

0:09:210:09:22

But what's it doing?

0:09:220:09:23

It could have chosen anywhere on this planet.

0:09:230:09:25

It chose to sit on the strategic intersection

0:09:250:09:28

of the three most powerful armies on Earth.

0:09:280:09:31

So what it's doing, Colonel...

0:09:310:09:32

..is sending us a message.

0:09:340:09:35

What message?

0:09:350:09:36

"Bring it."

0:09:360:09:38

BEEPING

0:09:410:09:42

Mr President?

0:09:460:09:47

Sir? What are you doing?

0:09:470:09:49

Bringing it.

0:09:520:09:53

Nardole.

0:09:540:09:55

On it, sir.

0:09:570:09:58

What's he doing?

0:09:580:10:01

We don't know what that thing is capable of!

0:10:010:10:03

Nothing yet, all looks fine.

0:10:100:10:13

What are you doing?

0:10:140:10:16

Updating him.

0:10:170:10:18

There's something's happening, sir.

0:10:370:10:39

It's opening up, sir. There's a door.

0:10:390:10:41

Nardole?

0:10:450:10:46

Something's coming out, sir.

0:10:460:10:48

Going by the description you gave me from the simulation, sir,

0:10:520:10:55

I think that's one of the Monk creatures.

0:10:550:10:58

Hello?

0:10:580:10:59

We know you.

0:10:590:11:01

Then you'll know that there is a line in the sand,

0:11:010:11:04

and I'm the man on the other side of it -

0:11:040:11:06

you want to keep me that way.

0:11:060:11:08

We will take this planet and its people.

0:11:080:11:11

You will be prevented. You will be fought.

0:11:110:11:13

We will be invited.

0:11:130:11:16

We will take this world. We will rule its people.

0:11:160:11:21

But only when we're asked.

0:11:210:11:23

We will talk again.

0:11:250:11:27

When?

0:11:270:11:28

At the end of the Earth.

0:11:280:11:30

BEEPING

0:11:350:11:36

PHONES RINGING

0:11:390:11:40

-11.57.

-PM.

0:11:430:11:45

Yeah, mine too.

0:11:450:11:46

It's everyone's. 11.57PM.

0:11:500:11:53

BEEPING

0:11:530:11:55

Did you get that, sir? Everyone's phone's gone to 11.57.

0:11:550:11:58

Yep, same here.

0:11:580:12:00

What's...

0:12:000:12:01

What does that mean, 11.57?

0:12:030:12:04

Also known as three minutes to midnight.

0:12:040:12:08

The Doomsday Clock.

0:12:080:12:09

The what?

0:12:090:12:10

Symbolic clock face,

0:12:100:12:12

representing a countdown to possible global catastrophe,

0:12:120:12:16

started by some atomic scientists in 1947.

0:12:160:12:18

The closer they set the clock to midnight,

0:12:180:12:21

the closer we are to global disaster.

0:12:210:12:24

Currently, it's set at three minutes to midnight.

0:12:240:12:27

So now every clock in the world is the Doomsday Clock?

0:12:270:12:31

Thanks to the Monks, yes.

0:12:310:12:33

Is this a threat?

0:12:330:12:35

I wish it was, threats are easy.

0:12:350:12:36

I think this is a warning.

0:12:360:12:39

Somewhere, somehow...

0:12:390:12:41

..the end has begun.

0:12:430:12:44

Fully automated.

0:13:090:13:11

Lunch?

0:13:110:13:13

Well, it would be rude not to.

0:13:130:13:15

PHONE RINGS

0:13:270:13:29

HE SPEAKS IN RUSSIAN

0:13:290:13:31

VWORP

0:13:310:13:32

Hello. Privyet. Sorry about that.

0:13:400:13:43

Needed the call to zero in on your co-ordinates.

0:13:430:13:46

Now, this is the Secretary-General of the UN.

0:13:460:13:50

I am the President of the world.

0:13:500:13:52

And this is Xiaolian, she's in charge of the Chinese army.

0:13:520:13:58

Say hi to each other.

0:13:580:14:00

Now, we've been having a bit of chat.

0:14:020:14:04

The thing is, World War Three - what do you think?

0:14:040:14:08

Basically, we're against it.

0:14:080:14:10

Listen to me.

0:14:120:14:13

Those creatures in that pyramid, they have studied your species,

0:14:130:14:16

your civilisation, your entire history.

0:14:160:14:18

They have run a computer simulation of this world

0:14:180:14:20

since you lot first slopped out of the ocean looking for a fight,

0:14:200:14:23

and they have chosen this exact moment

0:14:230:14:25

and this exact place to arrive.

0:14:250:14:28

Why?

0:14:280:14:29

Because a war's about to break out?

0:14:290:14:31

Possibly.

0:14:310:14:33

But whatever it is, they are right here, right now

0:14:340:14:38

because they believe humanity will be at its weakest.

0:14:380:14:43

Then we'll demonstrate strength. We will attack the pyramid.

0:14:430:14:47

Force is never the answer. Isn't that right, Doctor?

0:14:470:14:50

Contact your masters. Co-ordinate your attacks.

0:14:530:14:56

Doctor?

0:14:560:14:57

I doubt you'll even scratch that thing,

0:14:570:14:59

but if you demonstrate strength and unity,

0:14:590:15:01

they might choose to step away.

0:15:010:15:02

WHISPERS: Bill, take that look off your face.

0:15:020:15:05

There's no look on my face.

0:15:050:15:06

They did not come here in peace, we have to do what we can.

0:15:060:15:09

Yeah, I get it.

0:15:090:15:10

PHONES RING

0:15:100:15:12

It's two minutes to now.

0:15:190:15:20

The Doomsday Clock is moving.

0:15:200:15:23

What do we do?

0:15:230:15:24

Co-ordinate your attacks.

0:15:240:15:26

What's wrong with him?

0:15:390:15:40

What's wrong with the Doctor?

0:15:420:15:43

Did Nardole send you to speak to me?

0:16:020:16:04

Might have done.

0:16:040:16:06

Might have said there was something you ought to tell me.

0:16:060:16:08

Funny thing, fear, isn't it?

0:16:100:16:12

Once it rules you, you're even afraid to admit what's scaring you.

0:16:170:16:22

For the record, I, for one, fully understand my weakness.

0:16:220:16:25

Oh, God, what's that?

0:16:280:16:30

'Approaching target. Permission to strike.'

0:16:480:16:51

So, why is the pyramid active now?

0:16:520:16:54

Possibly they know they're about to be bombed.

0:16:540:16:56

Target distance ten miles - set position five degrees.

0:17:010:17:04

MONK ROARS

0:17:170:17:19

Red 12. Mayday! MAYDAY!

0:17:220:17:24

It's the Monks! They've hijacked the plane.

0:17:550:17:59

How did they do that?

0:17:590:18:00

Oh, they're fine. The crew are alive.

0:18:140:18:18

Who are those guys?

0:18:190:18:21

I think they're ours.

0:18:220:18:23

Yours?

0:18:230:18:24

We targeted the pyramid with a missile.

0:18:240:18:26

WHOOSHING

0:18:290:18:30

THUD

0:18:340:18:35

From a submarine.

0:18:370:18:38

So, demonstrating strength isn't going to help.

0:18:380:18:41

-ECHOING:

-We are ready to talk.

0:18:430:18:48

Why don't you just take the afternoon off if you feel that bad?

0:18:560:18:59

I can't just take the afternoon off!

0:19:010:19:03

How about a kip on the floor under your desk?

0:19:030:19:06

Now, that's an idea I can get behind.

0:19:060:19:08

HISSING

0:19:200:19:22

I mean, this is a trap, right?

0:19:470:19:48

Possibly. Probably.

0:19:500:19:52

And we're just walking into it.

0:19:550:19:57

Well, every trap you walk into

0:19:570:19:59

is a chance to learn about your enemies.

0:19:590:20:01

Impossible to set a trap

0:20:010:20:03

without making a self-portrait of your own weaknesses.

0:20:030:20:06

Great...unless it kills us.

0:20:070:20:09

Well, you could say that about anything.

0:20:100:20:12

The human race is about to end.

0:20:350:20:37

The chain of events is already in motion.

0:20:380:20:41

Life on Earth will cease by humanity's own hand.

0:20:410:20:46

Observe.

0:20:460:20:48

Ah...

0:21:080:21:09

The simulation machine looks a bit different from the outside.

0:21:090:21:12

We are modelling the future.

0:21:120:21:15

Each thread is a chain of days, leading to your end.

0:21:150:21:19

We can detect when a catastrophe is about to occur.

0:21:190:21:23

And?

0:21:230:21:25

Stop it from occurring.

0:21:250:21:26

You don't look much like guardian angels.

0:21:260:21:29

We have chosen this form to look like you.

0:21:290:21:32

You look like corpses.

0:21:320:21:33

You ARE corpses to us.

0:21:330:21:37

Your world is ending. You can do nothing.

0:21:370:21:40

But we can save you.

0:21:400:21:42

Save us, then.

0:21:420:21:43

To save you, we must be asked.

0:21:430:21:47

Then what?

0:21:470:21:48

We will protect you.

0:21:480:21:50

How long for?

0:21:500:21:52

Forever.

0:21:520:21:53

Do you understand now? Do you see?

0:21:550:22:00

Asking them for help has conditions.

0:22:000:22:03

Invite them in, and it will be the last free action you take.

0:22:050:22:10

If you do not ask for help, then see the days to come.

0:22:100:22:15

Theses are the threads that lead to one year in your future.

0:22:180:22:23

Take them as proof.

0:22:230:22:26

What was that?

0:22:450:22:46

Planet Earth, with not a single living thing.

0:22:460:22:49

Dead as the moon.

0:22:490:22:50

You seem pretty damn calm about it.

0:22:510:22:54

Do I? Oh, I'm sorry - it's not my first dead planet.

0:22:540:22:58

Ask for help, it will be given.

0:22:580:23:02

Why do you need to be asked?

0:23:020:23:03

Power must consent.

0:23:030:23:05

Power must consent? What does that mean?

0:23:050:23:07

Those who hold power on this world must consent to our dominion.

0:23:070:23:13

Why?

0:23:140:23:16

PHONES RING

0:23:160:23:17

One minute to midnight.

0:23:200:23:22

You could take this planet in a...in a heartbeat.

0:23:240:23:27

Why do you need consent?

0:23:270:23:29

We must be wanted. We must be loved.

0:23:290:23:33

To rule through fear is inefficient.

0:23:330:23:35

Of course. Fear is temporary.

0:23:350:23:38

Love...is slavery.

0:23:380:23:41

If consent is what you need, I consent now.

0:23:420:23:47

No. No, don't do this. Please, don't even consider this!

0:23:470:23:50

What I saw was real. I felt it!

0:23:500:23:54

If you can help us, I consent.

0:23:580:24:02

Please, listen to me!

0:24:020:24:04

Do you have power?

0:24:090:24:11

I have power.

0:24:110:24:12

Does power consent?

0:24:120:24:15

Please, stop - just stop this!

0:24:150:24:17

If your consent is impure, it will kill you.

0:24:170:24:22

Impure? What does that mean, impure?

0:24:220:24:24

You act out of fear. Fear is not consent.

0:24:240:24:29

Agh!

0:24:290:24:30

Planet Earth does not consent to your help, your presence,

0:24:390:24:42

or your conquest.

0:24:420:24:44

Thank you for playing the big pyramid game -

0:24:440:24:46

bye-bye, see you again next week, hopefully not.

0:24:460:24:48

Without our help, Planet Earth is doomed.

0:24:480:24:51

Yes, well, it's been doomed before. Guess what happened?

0:24:510:24:57

Me!

0:24:570:24:58

MONK GROWLS

0:25:000:25:02

What are you doing?

0:25:110:25:12

I just need a minute.

0:25:120:25:14

I was about to throw up in my suit.

0:25:150:25:16

I did that once.

0:25:160:25:17

Ugh...

0:25:170:25:19

CRACKLING

0:25:190:25:20

Oh, my God.

0:25:280:25:29

OK - whatever that is, that is not meant to happen.

0:25:340:25:38

We need to sort this.

0:25:400:25:41

DOOR LOCK BUZZES

0:25:450:25:46

Why do they need consent?

0:26:030:26:05

Maybe they're like vampires -

0:26:050:26:06

can't come in unless they're invited.

0:26:060:26:08

They're not vampires.

0:26:080:26:10

The future we saw - is it the war?

0:26:100:26:12

Do we bring that future about?

0:26:120:26:15

That would seem to be the most obvious conclusion.

0:26:150:26:17

No. I say, no.

0:26:170:26:19

Friend, I will not fight you.

0:26:190:26:21

We are just soldiers in the field.

0:26:210:26:23

Are we too afraid to disobey?

0:26:230:26:26

I'm not.

0:26:260:26:27

Neither am I.

0:26:320:26:34

This is amazing.

0:26:360:26:37

What do you think, Mr President?

0:26:370:26:40

Did we just give peace a chance?

0:26:400:26:43

The clock.

0:26:470:26:48

I'm sorry?

0:26:500:26:52

Look at the clock.

0:26:520:26:53

Still one minute to midnight.

0:26:550:26:56

It made no difference. How could this make no difference?

0:26:560:27:01

Because it's not you who's going to end the world.

0:27:010:27:04

You were never the problem.

0:27:040:27:05

Then who is the problem?

0:27:050:27:06

Something is happening, somewhere else.

0:27:060:27:09

Somewhere in the world, in silence or in darkness,

0:27:100:27:14

the world is ending right now.

0:27:140:27:17

And we have to find out where.

0:27:170:27:19

It's gone crazy. It's much too strong.

0:27:220:27:26

It's not just breaking the root system down,

0:27:260:27:28

it's killing the whole thing.

0:27:280:27:29

We have to seal off the lab,

0:27:290:27:31

the greenhouse, everything.

0:27:310:27:33

This can't be allowed to get into the atmosphere.

0:27:330:27:35

This is impossible.

0:27:410:27:43

We can't search a whole planet in a few minutes.

0:27:430:27:45

Narrow it down.

0:27:450:27:46

They landed the pyramid in the middle of military crisis -

0:27:460:27:49

what was the point of that?

0:27:490:27:50

OK, what was the point?

0:27:520:27:53

What was the effect?

0:27:530:27:54

They told us the world was ending in a potential war zone -

0:27:540:27:59

what did we assume was going to happen?

0:27:590:28:00

-World War Three.

-But it didn't.

0:28:000:28:03

The trick with misdirection -

0:28:030:28:04

don't look where the arrow is pointing,

0:28:040:28:06

look where it's pointing away from.

0:28:060:28:08

So, what's already on our radar,

0:28:080:28:10

that we should be worried about right now?

0:28:100:28:13

Forget about war - what else could end the world?

0:28:130:28:16

Bacteria.

0:28:160:28:17

I like the sound of that.

0:28:170:28:19

New strain of flu? Plague?

0:28:190:28:21

People can be immune.

0:28:210:28:23

And whatever it is will kill all life on Earth,

0:28:230:28:25

not just humans - plague discriminates.

0:28:250:28:30

So this isn't a plan, it's a mistake.

0:28:300:28:32

Somebody, somewhere, is doing something

0:28:320:28:35

that's about to blow up in everybody's face.

0:28:350:28:38

What are you doing?

0:28:470:28:49

The distraction tells us that whatever's coming

0:28:490:28:51

is already on a watchlist.

0:28:510:28:55

I just put all the top-secret intelligence documents

0:28:550:28:58

in the world online - in searchable format.

0:28:580:29:00

What?!

0:29:000:29:01

Sit down and google.

0:29:010:29:02

It's never done anything like that before.

0:29:100:29:12

Check the mix.

0:29:120:29:14

Anything?

0:29:160:29:17

HE GASPS AND CHOKES

0:29:170:29:19

Douglas?

0:29:190:29:20

Douglas!

0:29:210:29:23

DOUGLAS?!

0:29:240:29:25

-Doctor, listen.

-What?

0:29:460:29:48

Isn't it worth at least just considering doing the deal?

0:29:480:29:50

-What deal?

-All we have got to do is consent.

0:29:500:29:53

That's what the Secretary-General thought. They burned him.

0:29:530:29:55

He was afraid -

0:29:550:29:56

I'm not being afraid, I'm being smart.

0:29:560:29:59

Being smart is not giving away your planet.

0:29:590:30:02

So - an accident, leading to irrevocable consequences.

0:30:020:30:06

I like bacteria.

0:30:060:30:07

They can spread - once they're out, you can't put them away again.

0:30:070:30:11

What could they do? What do you depend on?

0:30:110:30:14

Air, water, food, beer.

0:30:140:30:16

Air, water and food.

0:30:160:30:17

Let's say something's going to change,

0:30:170:30:19

something is going to be released.

0:30:190:30:21

Something new, something fast.

0:30:210:30:24

I'm feeling...

0:30:240:30:27

I'm feeling biochemical.

0:30:270:30:28

-Check biochemical trials.

-Yes, sir.

0:30:280:30:31

Doctor...

0:30:310:30:33

That world was dead a year from now.

0:30:330:30:37

We should at least go in there and talk.

0:30:370:30:39

There are about 100,000 biochemical trials going on right now.

0:30:390:30:43

Specifically related to GM bacteria.

0:30:430:30:46

Er...6,000.

0:30:460:30:47

How many have reached stage two? You cannot accept their offer.

0:30:470:30:51

Why not?

0:30:510:30:53

Because whatever the price is, it's too high.

0:30:530:30:55

We'll work it out.

0:30:550:30:56

428.

0:30:560:30:57

It's too many, and we don't even know if you're right.

0:30:570:31:00

Well, I probably am.

0:31:000:31:02

Probably isn't good enough!

0:31:020:31:03

Probably is all you've got.

0:31:030:31:05

It's your planet - I can't just give it away.

0:31:050:31:07

You know what, sir?

0:31:070:31:08

Finally, you've said something I agree with.

0:31:080:31:11

It's our planet. Our choice.

0:31:110:31:14

You can't make a deal with them.

0:31:140:31:16

You don't what you're agreeing to. I don't know.

0:31:160:31:18

All I know is I plan on living to fight another day.

0:31:180:31:22

Right now, what we don't have is a whole lot of other days.

0:31:220:31:26

Agreed.

0:31:260:31:27

Also agreed.

0:31:270:31:28

Doctor...

0:31:290:31:31

Is it just possible that they're right?

0:31:340:31:36

Being right is easy. We need to win.

0:31:380:31:40

All these soldiers in the room,

0:31:410:31:42

and you're the only one still fighting.

0:31:420:31:44

Would you make the deal? Even not knowing what's going to happen?

0:31:440:31:48

Those guys have modelled every event in human history

0:31:480:31:51

to find our weak spot.

0:31:510:31:52

Are you going to do the same in a couple of minutes?

0:31:520:31:54

Would you make the deal?

0:31:540:31:56

No, not if I had a choice.

0:31:560:31:58

But we don't, do we?

0:31:580:32:01

It's your world.

0:32:010:32:03

Not any more.

0:32:030:32:04

OK, back to the pyramid and negotiate our surrender.

0:32:070:32:13

Doctor?

0:32:190:32:21

What are you going to do?

0:32:210:32:22

Well for a start, I'm going to tell you the truth.

0:32:220:32:24

I've been keeping a secret from you.

0:32:240:32:26

Doctor?

0:32:330:32:34

We can blind them.

0:32:360:32:38

That's how we do it - we blind them!

0:32:380:32:41

Blind who? The Monks?

0:32:410:32:43

Bill, go to the pyramid. Keep an eye on them all.

0:32:430:32:46

Nardole, with me. To the TARDIS.

0:32:460:32:48

-Yes, sir.

-Have you got a plan?

0:32:480:32:51

You'll be hearing from me.

0:32:510:32:54

-TANNOY:

-'Biohazard. Lab in lockdown.

0:32:540:32:57

'Biohazard. Lab in lockdown.'

0:32:570:33:00

ALARM BLARES

0:33:000:33:02

'Biohazard. Lab in lockdown.'

0:33:020:33:05

Oh, Douglas, what have you done?

0:33:100:33:13

OK, - there's the list of labs on the UNIT watch list.

0:33:130:33:16

If they're being watched, that means they've got CCTV cameras,

0:33:160:33:20

with feeds to UNIT HQ.

0:33:200:33:23

Can you hack them?

0:33:230:33:24

Course I can, I'm not JUST sexy.

0:33:240:33:26

But there's 428 of them,

0:33:260:33:27

we can't watch them all.

0:33:270:33:29

Are you following me?

0:33:290:33:30

Yeah, I think I get it.

0:33:300:33:32

Yes, well, we're not going to watch them,

0:33:320:33:34

we're going to switch 'em off.

0:33:340:33:35

-Can you do that?

-What good would switching them off do?

0:33:350:33:38

If I'm right, the Monks are only watching one of those labs.

0:33:380:33:42

How would they do that?

0:33:420:33:44

Well, I suppose they'd just...hack the cameras.

0:33:440:33:47

So switch them off.

0:33:470:33:49

OK, so, we've blinded them.

0:33:560:33:58

But whatever's happening is still happening.

0:33:580:34:00

-Yep.

-And the Monks are powerful -

0:34:000:34:02

they can just turn the cameras back on.

0:34:020:34:05

Yes, they can -

0:34:050:34:06

but they're only watching one lab.

0:34:060:34:09

So all we need to know is which lab just got its cameras back?

0:34:090:34:12

Oh, you genius!

0:34:320:34:34

How did you do that? What is that thing?

0:34:340:34:36

It's Nardole - he's not my fault.

0:34:360:34:38

-Back to the TARDIS, this place is toxic.

-I'm not human.

0:34:380:34:41

You're human enough, I got your lungs cheap.

0:34:410:34:43

Oh, now he tells me...!

0:34:430:34:45

Park her close, monitor me.

0:34:450:34:47

Oh, tidy up your room.

0:34:470:34:49

You have a problem, I believe.

Who the hell are you?

Don't be alarmed, we don't have time.

'OK found it, lab in Yorkshire.'

0:35:230:35:26

Long story, short - misplaced decimal point,

0:35:260:35:29

resulting in a bacteria

0:35:290:35:30

that turns any living thing it touches into gunk.

0:35:300:35:34

So why is it going to end the world?

0:35:340:35:36

'Has it been dispersed already?'

0:35:360:35:37

Ah, no, it's still in the lab.

0:35:370:35:39

I think I can contain it.

0:35:390:35:40

We give him two minutes and we're heading in. Agreed?

0:35:400:35:44

Agreed.

0:35:440:35:45

We have an air filtration system to take toxins out of the air.

0:35:450:35:49

It runs a cycle every 30 minutes.

0:35:490:35:51

It's going to pump the bacteria into the atmosphere.

0:35:510:35:53

So switch it off.

0:35:530:35:55

-I can't.

-Oh.

0:35:550:35:57

Right, OK. When's the next cycle?

0:35:570:35:59

-20 minutes.

-What?!

0:35:590:36:01

-Anything?

-Sterilisation.

-And how do you sterilise something?

0:36:350:36:38

Put it in boiling water.

0:36:380:36:40

-Or?

-Put it in a flame.

0:36:400:36:42

She's got it.

0:36:430:36:44

By George, she's got it!

0:36:460:36:48

I'm not going to lie to you,

0:36:480:36:50

this means that your insurance premiums

0:36:500:36:51

are going to go through the roof.

0:36:510:36:53

In fact, everything is going to go through the roof,

0:36:530:36:55

because I'm going to blow up the lab.

0:36:550:36:57

We just need some kind of a trigger, first.

0:36:570:36:59

But what are you going to blow it up with?

0:36:590:37:02

The bacteria is making ethanol!

0:37:040:37:06

The greenhouse and the lab are full of it!

0:37:060:37:08

Seriously, what are you doing when this is all over?

0:37:080:37:10

We're ready to talk.

0:37:130:37:15

Do you have power?

0:37:220:37:24

Well, right now, we're representing the three biggest armies

0:37:240:37:27

on the planet, so I guess we do.

0:37:270:37:30

Does power consent?

0:37:310:37:33

We consent.

0:37:330:37:35

If your consent is impure, it will kill you.

0:37:360:37:40

I surrender. We surrender.

0:37:410:37:44

What more do you want?

0:37:440:37:46

To rule, there must be love.

0:37:480:37:51

Your consent must be pure.

0:37:510:37:55

You act out of strategy. Strategy is not consent.

0:37:590:38:05

Ah!

0:38:050:38:06

Do you consent?

0:38:130:38:15

I don't have any power. I'm nobody.

0:38:150:38:18

You represent the greatest power on the planet.

0:38:180:38:23

You represent the Doctor.

0:38:230:38:26

Is your consent pure?

0:38:270:38:30

Is this going to work?

0:38:330:38:34

Trust me. I pop it in there. Machine goes ping.

0:38:340:38:38

Lab goes boom. World is saved.

0:38:380:38:39

You develop a pretty intense crush on me.

0:38:390:38:42

OK. Go through to the machine room.

0:38:430:38:45

You're going to have to let me back in when I'm done.

0:38:450:38:47

How long before the vents kick in?

0:38:470:38:49

Four minutes.

0:38:490:38:51

Doctor, you still there?

0:38:510:38:52

There's no way of stopping the lab venting,

0:38:520:38:54

so I'm going to sterilise the building by blowing it up.

0:38:540:38:57

Everything in here will be destroyed.

0:38:570:38:58

-Including you?

-Not if I pull my socks up.

0:38:580:39:01

Honest answer. You going to do it?

0:39:010:39:04

Course I'm going to do it.

0:39:040:39:05

Because they're still offering a deal, and...

0:39:050:39:08

And I'm the only one left.

0:39:080:39:09

Tell them you're flattered but don't.

0:39:090:39:12

What does consent mean?

0:39:120:39:15

You must ask for our help, and want it,

0:39:160:39:19

and know you will then be ours.

0:39:190:39:22

Only then can the link be formed.

0:39:220:39:25

What link?

0:39:260:39:27

Do you consent?

0:39:270:39:30

Can you hear me?

0:39:390:39:41

I don't even know your name.

0:39:440:39:46

Erica.

0:39:460:39:47

Did you always want to be a scientist, Erica?

0:39:500:39:53

Since I was about eight.

0:39:530:39:54

Before that, I wanted to be a bus driver,

0:39:540:39:56

because I liked how they waved at other bus drivers.

0:39:560:39:59

OK. I've given us two minutes.

0:40:010:40:03

Right, you need to get out of there!

0:40:030:40:05

BEEPING

0:40:080:40:10

Hello, I'm the Doctor, saving the world with my eyes shut.

0:40:200:40:23

ALARM BEEPS

0:40:230:40:25

Doctor - the clock's going back. Have you done it?

0:40:380:40:40

Yes, I have!

0:40:400:40:41

I'm totally the President of Earth, and from now on, two planes!

0:40:410:40:45

One for me and one for my glamorous assistant, Erica.

0:40:450:40:48

Say hello to the folks at home, Erica, and let me through the door.

0:40:480:40:52

'Bill, get the hell out of that pyramid!'

0:40:520:40:54

I can't open it. It's under emergency protocol.

0:41:020:41:06

You need to use the combination lock.

0:41:060:41:08

Set it to 3614.

0:41:080:41:10

You're going to have to guide me.

0:41:260:41:27

I can't see it from here - you can see it, right?

0:41:270:41:31

How long have I got?

0:41:310:41:32

One minute 40.

0:41:320:41:34

3614.

0:41:340:41:35

Come on.

0:41:350:41:36

Doctor, what's happening, you OK?

0:41:360:41:38

Bill - sorry, slight hitch, working on it.

0:41:380:41:40

What's the problem?

0:41:400:41:42

3614 - need it to open the door, but I can't see the numbers.

0:41:420:41:44

One minute, 20.

0:41:440:41:46

I don't understand the problem.

0:41:460:41:49

Combination lock - all the sonic will do is calculate the number,

0:41:490:41:51

I still have to enter it.

0:41:510:41:53

Nardole! Nardole! Nardole!

0:41:540:41:58

I need you to do a visual on the lab,

0:41:580:42:00

there's a camera in here.

0:42:000:42:01

Nardole? Nardole, can you hear me?

0:42:030:42:07

-I don't understand the problem. Just open the door.

-I can't.

0:42:080:42:11

Why can't you?

0:42:110:42:12

Because I'm blind.

0:42:120:42:13

I'm sorry. I'm blind.

0:42:150:42:17

What do you mean, blind? What are you talking about?

0:42:180:42:21

I lied. I've been blind since Chasm Forge.

0:42:210:42:25

I didn't get my sight back. I've been lying to you.

0:42:250:42:28

There's a combination lock, with numbers, and I can't see them.

0:42:280:42:33

You're an idiot...

0:42:350:42:36

You are the stupidest idiot ever!

0:42:360:42:38

But I'm not going to let you die.

0:42:430:42:45

No. You have to, there's no choice.

0:42:450:42:48

No-one else can help me now.

0:42:480:42:50

The Monks. The Monks can help you.

0:42:500:42:53

No! Bill, no! Don't do that!

0:42:530:42:55

I'm sorry.

0:42:550:42:57

I made a mistake - I have to face that -

0:42:570:42:59

but do not ask the Monks for help!

0:42:590:43:01

Bill!

0:43:040:43:06

Doctor.

0:43:060:43:07

This planet needs you. So I'm making an executive decision.

0:43:070:43:12

'I'm keeping you alive.'

0:43:120:43:14

Bill, listen to me, please.

0:43:140:43:16

I don't know what consenting allows them to do to you!

0:43:160:43:19

'You don't know what you're agreeing to!'

0:43:190:43:22

Can you give him his sight back?

0:43:220:43:23

His sight can be restored.

0:43:270:43:31

Then, then I'm asking you for help.

0:43:310:43:33

I'm giving my consent.

0:43:350:43:37

Is your consent pure?

0:43:370:43:39

Just give him his sight back!

0:43:400:43:42

You can have the world - just make him see again.

0:43:420:43:44

I consent.

0:43:460:43:47

You act out of love.

0:43:550:43:57

Love is consent. We must be loved.

0:43:580:44:03

Bill! Do not make this deal! I forbid it!

0:44:030:44:06

Bill, can you hear me? What's happening? Bill? Bill?

0:44:090:44:14

DOOR LOCK BUZZES

0:44:350:44:36

Bill, what have you done?

0:44:500:44:52

I'll tell you what, old man - you'd better get my planet back!

0:44:530:44:58

-ECHOING:

-Enjoy your sight, Doctor. Now see our world.

0:44:580:45:05

I woke up and the Monks were here and they've always been here.

0:45:370:45:40

All that we believe now is a lie.

0:45:400:45:43

I want to speak to her.

0:45:430:45:44

All you have to do is find whoever opened the door to

0:45:440:45:47

the Monks and just kill them.

0:45:470:45:48

I'm sorry your plus one doesn't get a happy ending.

0:45:480:45:51

All anyone's seen of the Doctor in the last six months

0:45:510:45:55

are those broadcasts he does.

0:45:550:45:57

I have joined the Monks.
