0:00:03 > 0:00:07The Monks have been with us from the beginning.

0:00:08 > 0:00:11They shepherded humanity through its formative years,

0:00:11 > 0:00:16gently guiding and encouraging,

0:00:16 > 0:00:20like a parent clapping their hands at a baby's first steps.

0:00:22 > 0:00:25They have been instrumental in all the advances

0:00:25 > 0:00:27of culture and technology.

0:00:27 > 0:00:33They watched proudly as man invented the light bulb,

0:00:33 > 0:00:35the telephone

0:00:35 > 0:00:37and the internet.

0:00:37 > 0:00:42They were even there to welcome the first men on the moon.

0:00:42 > 0:00:46'It's one small step for man,

0:00:46 > 0:00:48'one giant leap for mankind.'

0:00:48 > 0:00:52And they have defended us too.

0:00:52 > 0:00:55Who can forget the time the Monks defeated the Daleks,

0:00:55 > 0:00:57the Cybermen,

0:00:57 > 0:00:58the Weeping Angels?

0:00:58 > 0:01:04Two species, sharing a history as happily as they share a planet,

0:01:04 > 0:01:09humanity and the Monks are a blissful and perfect partnership.

0:01:09 > 0:01:17How lucky Earth is to have an ally as powerful and tender as the Monks,

0:01:17 > 0:01:22that asks for nothing in return for their benevolence but obedience.

0:01:22 > 0:01:25BANGING ON DOOR

0:01:28 > 0:01:30BANGING CONTINUES

0:01:30 > 0:01:33Go! Go! Go! Get down! On your knees!

0:01:33 > 0:01:37Hands on your heads! Get down! On your knees!

0:01:37 > 0:01:38Get down!

0:01:38 > 0:01:40Search the room!

0:01:48 > 0:01:50- Jane Bishop.- That's me.

0:01:50 > 0:01:54You are charged with the manufacture and possession

0:01:54 > 0:01:57of propaganda intended to undermine the True History.

0:01:57 > 0:02:01This is in contravention of the Memory Crimes Act of 1975.

0:02:01 > 0:02:021975?

0:02:02 > 0:02:04The Monks have only been here a few months!

0:02:04 > 0:02:07Therefore I sentence you to ten years in a labour camp.

0:02:07 > 0:02:09Take her away.

0:02:09 > 0:02:11- Come on!- Be a good boy for Mummy!

0:02:12 > 0:02:15The Monks have only been here a few months!

0:02:15 > 0:02:18Fight back! It's all lies!

0:02:18 > 0:02:19Get in!

0:02:19 > 0:02:22- You know it's all lies!- In there.

0:02:24 > 0:02:27Right, nothing to see, move along!

0:02:27 > 0:02:29SIRENS BLARE

0:02:49 > 0:02:52So, relax, do as you're told.

0:02:52 > 0:02:56Your future is taken care of.

0:03:37 > 0:03:40SHOUTING AND GUNFIRE OUTSIDE

0:04:22 > 0:04:23Hello, Mum.

0:04:27 > 0:04:28The Monks...

0:04:32 > 0:04:35'The Monks have only been here for six months.

0:04:35 > 0:04:39'I can't remember how I escaped, Mum.

0:04:39 > 0:04:41'I asked for their help and then...

0:04:41 > 0:04:43'And then there's nothing.

0:04:43 > 0:04:46'And then I woke up and the Monks were here,

0:04:46 > 0:04:48'and they'd always been here.'

0:04:48 > 0:04:50Come with me!

0:04:50 > 0:04:53'Everything they told us, all that we believe now,

0:04:53 > 0:04:55'is a lie.

0:04:57 > 0:05:01'But I don't understand it, because no-one's saying anything.

0:05:01 > 0:05:07'It's like...like they've been brainwashed.'

0:05:07 > 0:05:09..with those who would do them harm

0:05:09 > 0:05:12by implementing a swift and painless death.

0:05:12 > 0:05:16CROWD CHEERS

0:05:16 > 0:05:18Praise be the justice of the Monks.

0:05:18 > 0:05:20I travelled with a man called the Doctor

0:05:20 > 0:05:22and his friend called Nardole,

0:05:22 > 0:05:24and I did this to save him.

0:05:24 > 0:05:26I'm trying to stay strong without them

0:05:26 > 0:05:30but, every day, it's harder to remember what's real any more.

0:05:30 > 0:05:33If you suspect a colleague, a neighbour or a family member

0:05:33 > 0:05:35of being a memory criminal...

0:05:35 > 0:05:36And I know how it looks, Mum,

0:05:36 > 0:05:39with all the stuff that he's been saying on the telly,

0:05:39 > 0:05:44but it's all right, because I know he has a plan.

0:05:44 > 0:05:48And one day soon, he's going to come back and save us all.

0:05:49 > 0:05:50One day...

0:05:50 > 0:05:53KEY RATTLES IN LOCK

0:06:04 > 0:06:07DOOR CLOSES

0:06:07 > 0:06:09FOOTSTEPS

0:06:10 > 0:06:12THEY BOTH SHRIEK

0:06:12 > 0:06:15What are you doing?! It's me, Nardie!

0:06:15 > 0:06:18No... Wait. Shut up. Tell me something. That first time,

0:06:18 > 0:06:20with the Heather creature chasing us, where did we run away to?

0:06:20 > 0:06:23- Australia.- What noise should spaceship doors make?

0:06:23 > 0:06:25Shuck-shuck! Obviously.

0:06:28 > 0:06:30Oh, God!

0:06:32 > 0:06:33It happened.

0:06:33 > 0:06:34I knew it.

0:06:34 > 0:06:36It all really happened.

0:06:36 > 0:06:38Ow!

0:06:38 > 0:06:40- Where have you been?! - That hurt me, that really hurt me!

0:06:40 > 0:06:42I needed you!

0:06:42 > 0:06:44Well, I got contaminated by that bacteria in the lab, didn't I?

0:06:44 > 0:06:48I was laid up for six weeks. If I was human, I would have died.

0:06:48 > 0:06:50Right now, you'd be talking to...

0:06:50 > 0:06:52Come to think of it, who were you talking to?

0:06:52 > 0:06:54Um...

0:06:54 > 0:06:56My...

0:06:56 > 0:06:58Um...my mum.

0:06:58 > 0:07:00I thought your mum...

0:07:00 > 0:07:02- WHISPERS:- ..died...

0:07:02 > 0:07:04You know, when you were...

0:07:04 > 0:07:05- WHISPERS:- ..little.

0:07:05 > 0:07:08I made up a version of her.

0:07:09 > 0:07:11Yeah, I talk to her all the time.

0:07:11 > 0:07:13Oh...

0:07:13 > 0:07:15Well, that's not that weird.

0:07:15 > 0:07:17I used to have an imaginary friend.

0:07:17 > 0:07:19Until he left me for someone else.

0:07:19 > 0:07:20- Hmph!- I know, charming(!)

0:07:20 > 0:07:24They're doing something to us. The Monks. I can't think straight.

0:07:24 > 0:07:27It's like they're saying they've been here for ever,

0:07:27 > 0:07:29and I know they haven't,

0:07:29 > 0:07:33but part of me is starting to think that it's real.

0:07:33 > 0:07:36Every day, I have to remind myself that everything that you,

0:07:36 > 0:07:38me and the Doctor did actually happened,

0:07:38 > 0:07:40and it wasn't just a dream.

0:07:40 > 0:07:42Why do it?

0:07:42 > 0:07:44That's what I don't get.

0:07:44 > 0:07:46They invade somewhere, take control.

0:07:46 > 0:07:49Why go to the trouble of changing the past?

0:07:49 > 0:07:51However bad a situation is,

0:07:51 > 0:07:53if people think that's how it's always been,

0:07:53 > 0:07:56they'll put up with it. That's 90% of the job done.

0:07:56 > 0:07:59Wait, you said you were ill for six weeks.

0:07:59 > 0:08:01- Mmm.- What have you been doing since then?

0:08:01 > 0:08:03Looking for the Doctor.

0:08:03 > 0:08:04Have you found him?

0:08:04 > 0:08:06Well, let's just say...

0:08:09 > 0:08:11- Yes, yes, yes, I found him!- Ha!

0:08:11 > 0:08:12So...

0:08:12 > 0:08:16All anyone's seen of the Doctor in the last six months

0:08:16 > 0:08:20- are those broadcasts he does. - He's faking it, I'm positive.

0:08:20 > 0:08:23He hasn't joined the Monks. He's being held prisoner.

0:08:23 > 0:08:25He's just biding his time, waiting.

0:08:25 > 0:08:28The thing is, the Monks have got some kind of scrambler,

0:08:28 > 0:08:30so no-one can trace the broadcasts.

0:08:30 > 0:08:34Lucky, then, that I have got this!

0:08:34 > 0:08:38It traces the source of the signal and gives a map coordinate.

0:08:38 > 0:08:39Cool! Where'd you get it?

0:08:39 > 0:08:41Found it in the TARDIS.

0:08:41 > 0:08:43Yeah, it was in one of the drawers

0:08:43 > 0:08:46with some old takeaway menus and 50 Danish krone.

0:08:46 > 0:08:48Anyway, this is them.

0:08:48 > 0:08:49So he's at sea?

0:08:49 > 0:08:51Mm-hm. Yeah.

0:08:51 > 0:08:53Yeah. The Monks have got him on one of the old prison boats.

0:08:53 > 0:08:55Hulks, they used call them.

0:08:55 > 0:08:57- So, how do we get to him? - Every six weeks,

0:08:57 > 0:08:59all their food and fuel and stuff

0:08:59 > 0:09:01gets taken to them by a supply boat.

0:09:01 > 0:09:04The next delivery is in two days' time,

0:09:04 > 0:09:06off the coast of Scotland.

0:09:06 > 0:09:07That's our chance!

0:09:07 > 0:09:09HE GASPS

0:09:09 > 0:09:11Yeah, that really has to stop.

0:09:13 > 0:09:14'It's happening, Mum.

0:09:14 > 0:09:16'I knew it would!

0:09:16 > 0:09:19'So, Nardole has made contact with the captain of the supply boat

0:09:19 > 0:09:22'that runs to and from the prison ship

0:09:22 > 0:09:24'where the Doctor's being held.

0:09:24 > 0:09:26'His son is serving ten years in a labour camp

0:09:26 > 0:09:29'for possession of a box of comics,

0:09:29 > 0:09:31'so he's no fan of the Monks.

0:09:33 > 0:09:35'He'll get us on board the prison ship.

0:09:48 > 0:09:51'Security is really tight, obviously,

0:09:51 > 0:09:54'but Nardole says there's not been much in the way of resistance

0:09:54 > 0:09:55'since the Monks took over,

0:09:55 > 0:09:58'so they're more worried about the Doctor getting out

0:09:58 > 0:10:00'than anyone getting in.'

0:10:04 > 0:10:07ORDERS ARE SHOUTED

0:10:11 > 0:10:13'But what we don't want is for them

0:10:13 > 0:10:16'to do a spot-check on our identity papers.'

0:10:16 > 0:10:18Papers! Spot check.

0:10:18 > 0:10:20'Nardole doesn't have any,

0:10:20 > 0:10:23'and I'm down as university kitchen staff.'

0:10:34 > 0:10:37ENGINES WHIR

0:10:40 > 0:10:42It's them!

0:11:26 > 0:11:28DOOR CLANGS SHUT

0:11:33 > 0:11:34All right, what are you waiting for?

0:11:34 > 0:11:37We need to get this stuff on board. Chop chop.

0:11:37 > 0:11:39- Come on!- Come on!

0:11:54 > 0:11:56'After that, we're on our own.

0:12:06 > 0:12:09MUFFLED SPEECH

0:12:09 > 0:12:12Over the years, I have encountered innumerable civilisations,

0:12:12 > 0:12:15but never one as benevolent as the Monks.

0:12:15 > 0:12:17Their grace and humility...

0:12:17 > 0:12:21No, their grace and philanthropy is matched only by their...

0:12:21 > 0:12:23Careful.

0:12:35 > 0:12:37Doctor?

0:12:40 > 0:12:42Doctor, it's me.

0:12:44 > 0:12:46Guards!

0:12:46 > 0:12:48What are you doing here?

0:12:48 > 0:12:49WEAPONS ARE COCKED

0:12:49 > 0:12:52What does it look like? We've come to save you.

0:12:52 > 0:12:53This is your doing, isn't it?

0:12:53 > 0:12:56You shouldn't be here. I'll have to talk to the Monks now.

0:12:56 > 0:12:59- Doctor...- Stop. Don't. Don't move. They will kill you.

0:12:59 > 0:13:00Stay where you are.

0:13:02 > 0:13:04Epsilon. Fire.

0:13:04 > 0:13:06Jupiter. Lily.

0:13:09 > 0:13:10The Monks are on their way.

0:13:10 > 0:13:13When they get here, let me do the talking.

0:13:13 > 0:13:15Wait, what was that?

0:13:15 > 0:13:18Did you actually just call them, you nutter?

0:13:18 > 0:13:20You deserve an explanation.

0:13:24 > 0:13:26Human society is...

0:13:28 > 0:13:29..stagnating.

0:13:29 > 0:13:32You've stopped moving forward.

0:13:32 > 0:13:35In fact, you're regressing.

0:13:35 > 0:13:37- This isn't exactly much better. - It's safer.

0:13:37 > 0:13:40Not so much for the people the Monks are killing.

0:13:40 > 0:13:42The Romans killed people

0:13:42 > 0:13:46and saved billions more from disease, war, famine

0:13:46 > 0:13:48and barbarism.

0:13:48 > 0:13:51No, wait.

0:13:52 > 0:13:54What about free will?

0:13:56 > 0:13:58You believe in free will. Your whole thing is...

0:13:58 > 0:14:01You made me write a 3,000-word essay on free will.

0:14:01 > 0:14:03Yes, well, I mean,

0:14:03 > 0:14:06you had free will, and look at what you did with it!

0:14:06 > 0:14:09Worse than that, you had history.

0:14:09 > 0:14:11History was saying to you,

0:14:11 > 0:14:14"Look, I've got some examples of fascism here for you to look at!

0:14:14 > 0:14:16"No? Fundamentalism? No?

0:14:16 > 0:14:17"Oh, OK, you carry on."

0:14:17 > 0:14:19I had to stop you,

0:14:19 > 0:14:22or at least not stand in the way of someone else who wanted to,

0:14:22 > 0:14:24because the guns were getting bigger,

0:14:24 > 0:14:26the stakes were getting higher,

0:14:26 > 0:14:28and any minute now it was going to be goodnight, Vienna.

0:14:28 > 0:14:31By the way, you never delivered that essay, anyway.

0:14:31 > 0:14:33Because the world was invaded by zombie Monks!

0:14:33 > 0:14:34And whose fault was that?

0:14:36 > 0:14:38Huh? I didn't ask for my sight back.

0:14:38 > 0:14:41No, you took it upon yourself to ignore me,

0:14:41 > 0:14:44to do what you thought was best.

0:14:44 > 0:14:47All I can say is that we are lucky it was a benevolent race

0:14:47 > 0:14:49like the Monks, not the Daleks.

0:14:49 > 0:14:51Yes, I know the Monks are ruthless,

0:14:51 > 0:14:54I get that. Yes, they play with history

0:14:54 > 0:14:56and I'm not exactly thrilled about that,

0:14:56 > 0:14:59but they bring peace and order.

0:15:02 > 0:15:03OK.

0:15:03 > 0:15:05Yeah, yeah, I get it.

0:15:05 > 0:15:09It's like that time we discovered that huge fish creature

0:15:09 > 0:15:11in the Seine in Paris.

0:15:16 > 0:15:19That was a coded message.

0:15:19 > 0:15:22The big fish creature was under the Thames.

0:15:22 > 0:15:26If I'd played along, she'd have known that I was tricking you.

0:15:26 > 0:15:28Guns down.

0:15:32 > 0:15:33I'm sorry, Bill.

0:15:33 > 0:15:35I just... I just...

0:15:35 > 0:15:37I really wanted to make you see.

0:15:43 > 0:15:45This...

0:15:46 > 0:15:48This is real.

0:15:49 > 0:15:51You...

0:15:51 > 0:15:53You're actually...

0:15:53 > 0:15:55You're actually doing this.

0:15:57 > 0:16:00Do you have any idea

0:16:00 > 0:16:03how hard the past few months have been?

0:16:05 > 0:16:09How hard it's been to hold onto to the truth?

0:16:09 > 0:16:13It would have been so easy to just give in

0:16:13 > 0:16:15and believe their lies.

0:16:15 > 0:16:17But I didn't.

0:16:19 > 0:16:22I fought against it.

0:16:22 > 0:16:23For YOU!

0:16:23 > 0:16:26For when YOU came back.

0:16:26 > 0:16:29And now you're saying you've joined them?

0:16:31 > 0:16:33You're helping them?

0:16:40 > 0:16:42WEAPONS ARE COCKED

0:16:45 > 0:16:46Bill, put the gun down.

0:16:46 > 0:16:48I'm serious, Doctor.

0:16:49 > 0:16:52We'll think of something else.

0:16:52 > 0:16:55But you better tell me NOW.

0:16:57 > 0:16:59Because if you help the Monks,

0:16:59 > 0:17:02then nothing will ever stop them.

0:17:02 > 0:17:04They'll be here for ever.

0:17:05 > 0:17:09It's not a trick, it's not a plan. I have joined the Monks.

0:17:09 > 0:17:10Whatever it takes,

0:17:10 > 0:17:13I'm going to save you from yourselves.

0:17:28 > 0:17:31HE GASPS

0:17:48 > 0:17:51HE ROARS

0:17:54 > 0:17:56Good girl!

0:17:56 > 0:17:59THEY CHUCKLE

0:18:01 > 0:18:03Regeneration a little bit too much?

0:18:03 > 0:18:05No, I thought it was a nice touch.

0:18:05 > 0:18:08"Too much" was Richard asking for our identity papers.

0:18:08 > 0:18:10I couldn't resist it. Your face.

0:18:10 > 0:18:11Er, hello?

0:18:11 > 0:18:14Could somebody tell me what the hell is going on?

0:18:14 > 0:18:16You did it.

0:18:16 > 0:18:18You did it!

0:18:19 > 0:18:21The Monks are using some kind of...

0:18:21 > 0:18:23you know, something,

0:18:23 > 0:18:25to control the population.

0:18:25 > 0:18:27They must be, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to

0:18:27 > 0:18:29hold on to power for this long.

0:18:29 > 0:18:31Now, they don't trust me yet, not completely,

0:18:31 > 0:18:34and I had to just check that you weren't under the influence

0:18:34 > 0:18:36- and testing me.- So you...

0:18:36 > 0:18:38You...you haven't turned?

0:18:38 > 0:18:40You're not working for them?

0:18:42 > 0:18:44No, of course not!

0:18:44 > 0:18:47I've spent the last six months planning,

0:18:47 > 0:18:49and also recruiting all these chaps.

0:18:49 > 0:18:52Deprogramming them one by one,

0:18:52 > 0:18:55talking some sense into them.

0:18:55 > 0:18:57And there's loads of them - I could do with a Strepsil!

0:18:57 > 0:18:59But I shot you.

0:18:59 > 0:19:01Yes, well, that was the plan, you see?

0:19:01 > 0:19:04Everyone exchanged their ammo for blanks.

0:19:04 > 0:19:06- Ahem.- Did you forget, Dave?

0:19:06 > 0:19:08You forgot?

0:19:08 > 0:19:11Well, that would have really blown the plan, wouldn't it?

0:19:11 > 0:19:13But you called the Monks.

0:19:13 > 0:19:14I called the kitchen.

0:19:14 > 0:19:16Oh, could you pop down and explain it to them?

0:19:16 > 0:19:19They're going to be really confused.

0:19:21 > 0:19:23And you were in on this too?

0:19:23 > 0:19:24It was partly his idea.

0:19:24 > 0:19:27Oh, my...God.

0:19:27 > 0:19:31- I'm going to beat the sh...- No! No!

0:19:31 > 0:19:32Oh, come on, come on,

0:19:32 > 0:19:35we've got the band back together again!

0:19:35 > 0:19:38Now, lovely as it is to have you on board,

0:19:38 > 0:19:40literally and metaphorically,

0:19:40 > 0:19:42we're going to need some help.

0:19:42 > 0:19:44So, who are we going to get?

0:19:44 > 0:19:46The only person I know almost as smart as me.

0:19:49 > 0:19:51Oh...

0:19:51 > 0:19:52I see.

0:19:52 > 0:19:54Blimey.

0:19:54 > 0:19:56Has it really come to that?

0:20:03 > 0:20:05'Mum, it's me.

0:20:05 > 0:20:06'We're coming back.

0:20:16 > 0:20:20'We could have snuck back in, but the Doctor being the Doctor...'

0:20:23 > 0:20:25SHIP'S HORN BLARES

0:20:32 > 0:20:34HE LAUGHS MANIACALLY

0:20:46 > 0:20:49'By the time we got back to the university,

0:20:49 > 0:20:51'the Monks were waiting for us...

0:20:52 > 0:20:54'..of course.

0:20:58 > 0:21:01'We weren't headed to his office, though.

0:21:05 > 0:21:10'Even so, the Doctor was nervous, Mum. I could tell.

0:21:10 > 0:21:12'He HAD to do this, he said.

0:21:12 > 0:21:15'He HAD to open the vault.'

0:21:15 > 0:21:17Move into the containment field, please.

0:21:24 > 0:21:26BEEPING

0:21:40 > 0:21:43GENTLE PIANO MUSIC PLAYS

0:21:50 > 0:21:52But it's...

0:21:52 > 0:21:54It's just a woman.

0:21:55 > 0:21:58The way you and Nardole have been carrying on,

0:21:58 > 0:22:01- I thought you had a monster in here, or something!- I do.

0:22:01 > 0:22:03Missy...

0:22:03 > 0:22:04Bill.

0:22:04 > 0:22:06Bill, Missy,

0:22:06 > 0:22:08the other Last of the Time Lords.

0:22:11 > 0:22:12Wait a sec.

0:22:12 > 0:22:14Why have you got a woman locked in a vault?

0:22:14 > 0:22:17Because even I think that's weird, and I've been attacked by a puddle.

0:22:17 > 0:22:20- She's going cold turkey from being bad.- Hmph!

0:22:20 > 0:22:23I want to ask if you've had any dealings with the Monks before.

0:22:23 > 0:22:26Of course! I've had adventures too.

0:22:26 > 0:22:29My whole life doesn't revolve around you, you know?

0:22:29 > 0:22:31- Did you defeat them?- I did.

0:22:31 > 0:22:33How?

0:22:36 > 0:22:38I've got some requests.

0:22:38 > 0:22:41I want some new books, some toys,

0:22:41 > 0:22:42like a particle accelerator,

0:22:42 > 0:22:45a 3-D printer and a pony.

0:22:45 > 0:22:49I don't think that you really grasp what's going on here.

0:22:49 > 0:22:54Nice people generally don't haggle over the fate of a planet.

0:22:54 > 0:22:56I once built a gun out of leaves.

0:22:56 > 0:23:00Do you think I couldn't get through a door if I wanted to?

0:23:01 > 0:23:04I'm here, all right? I'm engaging with the process.

0:23:05 > 0:23:09OK, yeah, we can get those things for you.

0:23:09 > 0:23:11C'est super!

0:23:13 > 0:23:17So, what have you got so far?

0:23:18 > 0:23:21They hold on to power by targeting the part of the brain

0:23:21 > 0:23:25specifically to do with memory and perception, correct? Right?

0:23:25 > 0:23:28Getting warm. Fingers tingling.

0:23:28 > 0:23:33But they target it with what exactly? How do they sustain it?

0:23:33 > 0:23:37How do their lies infiltrate the brains of billions?

0:23:37 > 0:23:40Is it some kind of airborne psychoactive?

0:23:40 > 0:23:42No, no, that's very cold, very cold.

0:23:42 > 0:23:45Something that's constantly being fed to the populace,

0:23:45 > 0:23:47constantly consolidating its hold. Is it in the water?

0:23:47 > 0:23:51God, no. It's freezing, freezing, absolutely freezing.

0:23:51 > 0:23:54Couldn't be colder, very, very, chilly, so, so chilly.

0:23:54 > 0:23:55Oh, come on.

0:23:56 > 0:24:00I'm bored! You haven't been to see me in six months.

0:24:00 > 0:24:01No-one has!

0:24:01 > 0:24:04Not even that bald bloke who looks like an egg!

0:24:04 > 0:24:06You left her alone in here for six months?!

0:24:06 > 0:24:07I was in prison for six months!

0:24:07 > 0:24:09Start at the beginning.

0:24:09 > 0:24:11How do they get a foothold on a planet?

0:24:11 > 0:24:13Some idiot asks for their help.

0:24:13 > 0:24:15Not just any idiot.

0:24:15 > 0:24:18It has to be a properly consenting human mind.

0:24:18 > 0:24:22A pure request, one without agenda or ulterior motive.

0:24:26 > 0:24:28It's them.

0:24:28 > 0:24:31That person creates a psychic link,

0:24:31 > 0:24:34which forms an anchor that keeps the Monks in power.

0:24:34 > 0:24:35They're the lynchpin!

0:24:35 > 0:24:36Scalding! Ow!

0:24:36 > 0:24:39But the brainwaves of one person wouldn't be powerful enough

0:24:39 > 0:24:41to contain an entire planet...

0:24:41 > 0:24:42The statues!

0:24:44 > 0:24:48As soon as they got here, the Monks put up statues!

0:24:48 > 0:24:51In every town square, in every park and every playground!

0:24:51 > 0:24:54You're on fire, you're literally on fire you're so caliente.

0:24:54 > 0:24:55That's Spanish for "hot".

0:24:55 > 0:24:58The statues are transmitters!

0:24:58 > 0:25:01They boost the signal and beam it out all around the world!

0:25:01 > 0:25:03Boom! You've exploded.

0:25:03 > 0:25:06Now, all you have to do is find whoever opened the door to

0:25:06 > 0:25:09- the Monks in the first place. - Say I already have.

0:25:09 > 0:25:11Oh, well, then you're sorted.

0:25:11 > 0:25:14Just kill them. That weakens the Monks' grip on the world.

0:25:20 > 0:25:22No, no, no, that can't be right.

0:25:22 > 0:25:25There are planets that the Monks have ruled for thousands of years.

0:25:25 > 0:25:28It's passed on through the bloodline.

0:25:28 > 0:25:31Usually the lynchpin goes on to lead a normal life, have their

0:25:31 > 0:25:34own family, and the link is passed down through the generations.

0:25:34 > 0:25:36But the Monks must have worked that out.

0:25:36 > 0:25:38- They've been doing this for millennia.- Why?

0:25:38 > 0:25:41If the link is passed on, the Monks stay in charge through,

0:25:41 > 0:25:44they think, their ruthlessness and efficiency.

0:25:44 > 0:25:48But if the lynchpin dies and the link isn't passed on and the

0:25:48 > 0:25:51Monks get booted off the planet, they just chalk it up to experience.

0:25:53 > 0:25:58SHE PLAYS THE ENTERTAINER

0:25:58 > 0:25:59No, it's OK.

0:26:01 > 0:26:03I want to speak to her.

0:26:03 > 0:26:07- Yes?- So when you defeated the Monks, that's how you did it?

0:26:07 > 0:26:10Well, at this point, all that was left of the bloodline

0:26:10 > 0:26:13was a wee girl, and I just pushed her into a volcano.

0:26:14 > 0:26:17It's me. The lynchpin is me.

0:26:17 > 0:26:18DISCORDANT PIANO NOTES

0:26:18 > 0:26:21Awwwk-waaard...

0:26:21 > 0:26:23So you're saying I have to die.

0:26:23 > 0:26:24No. If you were just to die,

0:26:24 > 0:26:27everyone's false memories would have to fade,

0:26:27 > 0:26:28and that could take ages.

0:26:28 > 0:26:30It's actually better if you keep breathing,

0:26:30 > 0:26:33if your brain just keeps transmitting...

0:26:33 > 0:26:38well, nothing. That would blot out the residue false memories.

0:26:38 > 0:26:39What would be left of me?

0:26:39 > 0:26:44You'd be a husk. Completely and irrevocably brain-dead.

0:26:44 > 0:26:47You couldn't even get on Celebrity Love Island.

0:26:47 > 0:26:50Even if that was the truth, the fact that you're suggesting it

0:26:50 > 0:26:54shows there's been no change, no hope, no point.

0:26:54 > 0:26:58We don't sacrifice people. It's wrong...because it's easy.

0:26:59 > 0:27:02Back in the day, I'd burn an entire city to the ground just to

0:27:02 > 0:27:05see the pretty shapes the smoke made.

0:27:05 > 0:27:08I'm sorry your plus one doesn't get a happy ending,

0:27:08 > 0:27:11but, like it or not, I just saved this world

0:27:11 > 0:27:13because I want to change.

0:27:15 > 0:27:17'Your version of good is not absolute.

0:27:18 > 0:27:20'It's vain, arrogant and sentimental.

0:27:22 > 0:27:25'If you're waiting for me to become all that...

0:27:27 > 0:27:30'I'm going to be here for a long time yet.'

0:27:40 > 0:27:42- What did she say?- Nothing.

0:27:42 > 0:27:44There's a way to defeat them.

0:27:44 > 0:27:46There isn't. Well, there is, but not that.

0:27:46 > 0:27:50Come on! You knew she was going to say something like this.

0:27:50 > 0:27:52That's why you needed me back.

0:27:52 > 0:27:55You could have escaped from that ship.

0:27:55 > 0:27:58You could have started something to defeat the Monks without me.

0:27:58 > 0:28:02I wanted you back by my side because it's the safest place in the world.

0:28:02 > 0:28:04- Can someone...? What did she say? - She said it's me.

0:28:06 > 0:28:10I asked the Monks for help and started all of this,

0:28:10 > 0:28:13so I have to be the one to finish it.

0:28:13 > 0:28:16The only downside is, if that's what we do...

0:28:18 > 0:28:21..well, it's not worth me starting any long books.

0:28:21 > 0:28:27OK, well, er, let's put a pin in it for now, as they say,

0:28:27 > 0:28:31and, er, see if we can think of something else.

0:28:32 > 0:28:35You said the safest place for me was by your side.

0:28:35 > 0:28:38That's what's protecting the Monks.

0:28:38 > 0:28:41It's why their plan works.

0:28:52 > 0:28:54The Cathedral. The Monks' headquarters.

0:28:54 > 0:28:58Oh, yes. We're going to have to break in there.

0:28:59 > 0:29:01Why?

0:29:01 > 0:29:05Somewhere in there, the Monks must have some kind of machine

0:29:05 > 0:29:09that creates and broadcasts the myths of their history,

0:29:09 > 0:29:14the ones that are powered by, carried by, fed by your brainwaves.

0:29:14 > 0:29:19So, we get in, I plug myself into it and replace the signals that they

0:29:19 > 0:29:21are receiving with my brainwaves

0:29:21 > 0:29:25and beam out the true history of the world.

0:29:25 > 0:29:29Oh, yes! I could even throw in some other stuff.

0:29:29 > 0:29:31The things that I could change just by thinking.

0:29:31 > 0:29:34Racism. People who talk in cinemas!

0:29:34 > 0:29:35Are you sure?

0:29:35 > 0:29:38This would be an incredibly sophisticated transmitter,

0:29:38 > 0:29:41powerful enough to beam highly detailed propaganda

0:29:41 > 0:29:43to the entire world 24 hours a day,

0:29:43 > 0:29:47and you're going to plug your brain into it?

0:29:47 > 0:29:50I know. It doesn't stand a chance.

0:30:04 > 0:30:07That's odd - there's no Monks guarding the entrance.

0:30:07 > 0:30:08Come away from the window.

0:30:08 > 0:30:10How many Monks were there?

0:30:10 > 0:30:13- About 12 Monks there.- 12?

0:30:20 > 0:30:22Well, you have to admit, that's ever so clever.

0:30:22 > 0:30:27You see? Another way they hang on to power is to create a myth

0:30:27 > 0:30:31that they're here in greater numbers than they really are.

0:30:31 > 0:30:35The beam is stronger here, isn't it? I can almost hear it.

0:30:35 > 0:30:39It's so hard to hang on to any thought of life before the Monks.

0:30:39 > 0:30:41Yes, and it's going to get stronger

0:30:41 > 0:30:43the closer we get to the transmitter.

0:30:43 > 0:30:46The lies are going to become more convincing.

0:30:46 > 0:30:50You'll want to turn around. You won't know what you're doing here

0:30:50 > 0:30:53or why you're working against the Monks.

0:30:54 > 0:30:58Have you all got your stereo, headphone, iThing?

0:30:58 > 0:31:01Yeah. You never told us what we needed these for.

0:31:01 > 0:31:03Ah, this is where you come in.

0:31:19 > 0:31:22'The Monks are not our friends.

0:31:22 > 0:31:25'They have invaded Earth and made its people slaves.

0:31:25 > 0:31:28'They cling onto power by means of a powerful transmitter

0:31:28 > 0:31:30'broadcasting myths and lies

0:31:30 > 0:31:34'that suggest that they have always been here.

0:31:34 > 0:31:37'In fact, they have only been here a few months

0:31:37 > 0:31:41'and have falsified and manipulated our history.

0:31:41 > 0:31:44'Our mission is to interrupt their broadcast and replace it

0:31:44 > 0:31:46'with the true history of Earth,

0:31:46 > 0:31:49'which will weaken and undermine the Monks' power.

0:31:49 > 0:31:51'The Monks are not our friends.

0:31:55 > 0:31:58'They cling onto power by means of a powerful transmitter,

0:31:58 > 0:32:00'broadcasting myths and lies

0:32:00 > 0:32:03'that suggest that they have always been here.'

0:32:03 > 0:32:06- Take cover!- 'In fact, they have only been here a few months

0:32:37 > 0:32:40Are you OK?

0:32:40 > 0:32:42Yeah, I think it's my...

0:32:42 > 0:32:44Oh...

0:32:44 > 0:32:45Doctor!

0:33:05 > 0:33:06It's in here.

0:33:06 > 0:33:07CLICKING

0:33:10 > 0:33:12Everything all right, Alan?

0:33:12 > 0:33:14You tricked us.

0:33:14 > 0:33:17You tried to make us believe the Monks were invaders.

0:33:17 > 0:33:19How could you say that?

0:33:19 > 0:33:21They've always been here, you know that.

0:33:21 > 0:33:23Uh-huh.

0:33:25 > 0:33:27Oh, I see.

0:33:27 > 0:33:29The Monks are our friends.

0:33:29 > 0:33:30I won't let you hurt them.

0:33:31 > 0:33:33I'll die first.

0:33:33 > 0:33:34I'll kill you first.

0:33:40 > 0:33:42Tarovian Neck Pinch.

0:33:43 > 0:33:46Yeah, I studied their martial arts for a while, actually.

0:33:46 > 0:33:49Reached the level of Brown Tabard.

0:33:49 > 0:33:50Can't do it with this hand though.

0:33:50 > 0:33:53Kind of bugs me. Course, this wasn't my original hand,

0:33:53 > 0:33:55as you know. I won this in a game of...

0:33:55 > 0:33:56Yeah, let's...

0:33:57 > 0:33:59..crack on.

0:34:10 > 0:34:12Fake News Central.

0:34:38 > 0:34:39I can think.

0:34:41 > 0:34:43They're not in my head, why is that?

0:34:43 > 0:34:44We're in the eye of the storm.

0:34:46 > 0:34:48Guard the doors. We can't be interrupted.

0:35:14 > 0:35:15Boo!

0:35:17 > 0:35:18Not necessary.

0:35:22 > 0:35:23OK, he's out, let's do this.

0:35:48 > 0:35:50It's working!

0:35:50 > 0:35:52The Monks are disappearing!

0:35:53 > 0:35:55Oh, I didn't agree to this.

0:35:55 > 0:35:56What's happening?

0:35:56 > 0:35:57He's fighting back.

0:35:57 > 0:36:00He's blocking me, countering every move.

0:36:10 > 0:36:11Look!

0:36:13 > 0:36:15Oh, no, no, no.

0:36:25 > 0:36:26Argh!

0:36:26 > 0:36:28Doctor!

0:36:41 > 0:36:42I wanted to do it before you woke up.

0:36:44 > 0:36:45But I had to say goodbye.

0:36:46 > 0:36:50Bill, whatever you're planning, there's no need for this.

0:36:50 > 0:36:52Let me try again. He caught me unawares.

0:36:52 > 0:36:54Cup of tea and I'll get my second wind.

0:36:54 > 0:36:57Even your brain couldn't stand another roasting like that.

0:36:57 > 0:37:00So we'll find another way. Let me talk to Missy again.

0:37:00 > 0:37:02We have the answer! Doctor, please!

0:37:02 > 0:37:04I don't want our last conversation to be this.

0:37:04 > 0:37:07I don't want this to be our last conversation.

0:37:14 > 0:37:15Goodbye, Doctor.

0:37:24 > 0:37:25Thank you.

0:37:28 > 0:37:30God, it was worth it.

0:37:39 > 0:37:40Bill...

0:37:41 > 0:37:43Bill, no, don't, Bill. Bill, Bill!

0:37:43 > 0:37:45It will kill you, Bill.

0:37:45 > 0:37:47It's too powerful!

0:37:47 > 0:37:48Bill! I... I order you!

0:37:49 > 0:37:51I'm ordering you not to do this!

0:37:51 > 0:37:52Bill!

0:37:52 > 0:37:53Nardole, untie me!

0:37:57 > 0:37:58Nardole, untie me now!

0:37:58 > 0:38:00Bill, don't do this!

0:38:00 > 0:38:01OK.

0:38:05 > 0:38:08I don't usually let someone erase my brain on the first date,

0:38:08 > 0:38:10but seeing as it's you...

0:38:12 > 0:38:13No!

0:38:32 > 0:38:34Oh, no.

0:38:36 > 0:38:38No, no, no, no, no, no!

0:38:39 > 0:38:42They're hijacking her memories.

0:38:42 > 0:38:45Infecting them like a virus.

0:38:45 > 0:38:46She's just reinforcing their lies.

0:38:46 > 0:38:48She's dying for nothing!

0:38:53 > 0:38:56Argh! There must be a way to shut this thing down!

0:39:07 > 0:39:08Hello, Mum.

0:39:11 > 0:39:13Doctor, look!

0:39:24 > 0:39:28You clever, brilliant, ridiculous girl!

0:39:28 > 0:39:31Look at that! All the pictures I gave you! I thought I was just

0:39:31 > 0:39:34being kind, but I was saving the world.

0:39:34 > 0:39:37Bill, if there's any of you left in there, listen -

0:39:37 > 0:39:40you have to keep thinking about your mum, the memory you created.

0:39:40 > 0:39:43Her voice, her smile, the Monks can't get near it.

0:39:46 > 0:39:49Fill your mind with it! Push it into every corner.

0:39:52 > 0:39:54Bill.

0:39:55 > 0:39:56Mum!

0:39:57 > 0:40:01She's filling its mind with one pure, uncorrupted,

0:40:01 > 0:40:02irresistible image.

0:40:03 > 0:40:07And it's broadcasting it to the world, because it can't help it.

0:40:07 > 0:40:09All those years you kept her alive inside you,

0:40:09 > 0:40:11an isolated subroutine in a living mind.

0:40:13 > 0:40:15Perfect, untouchable.

0:40:17 > 0:40:20She's a window on the world without the Monks.

0:40:22 > 0:40:26Absolutely loved, absolutely trusted.

0:40:26 > 0:40:31And that window is opening everywhere.

0:40:32 > 0:40:33A glimpse of freedom.

0:40:36 > 0:40:38But a glimpse...

0:40:38 > 0:40:39is all you need.

0:40:41 > 0:40:42The lie is breaking!

0:40:45 > 0:40:47Bill's mum, you just went viral!

0:41:00 > 0:41:02You did it, you broke the signal.

0:41:02 > 0:41:03What are the Monks going to do?

0:41:03 > 0:41:07What oppressors always do when they realise who's really in power...

0:41:08 > 0:41:09They run.

0:41:12 > 0:41:16CLAMOUR

0:41:25 > 0:41:27This is exciting, isn't it?

0:41:27 > 0:41:29Kind of... It's like a turning point.

0:41:29 > 0:41:32Humans have learned that they can overthrow dictators and stuff,

0:41:32 > 0:41:34they just have to band together.

0:41:34 > 0:41:36It's not quite as simple as that.

0:41:37 > 0:41:42You, Appalling Hair, this thing that we're sitting on, what is it?

0:41:42 > 0:41:45Uh, we thought they were just like filming something here or something?

0:41:45 > 0:41:46Thank you. Very helpful.

0:41:46 > 0:41:48Now go away, or something.

0:41:50 > 0:41:52You see?

0:41:52 > 0:41:54The Monks have erased themselves.

0:41:54 > 0:41:57Humanity is doomed to never learn from its mistakes.

0:42:00 > 0:42:02Well, I guess that's part of our charm.

0:42:04 > 0:42:06No, it's really quite annoying.

0:42:08 > 0:42:09Anyway, I mustn't keep you.

0:42:10 > 0:42:123,000 words.

0:42:12 > 0:42:14The Mechanics of Free Will.

0:42:14 > 0:42:16Now six months overdue.

0:42:20 > 0:42:21Why do you put up with us, then?

0:42:23 > 0:42:25In amongst seven billion...

0:42:26 > 0:42:28..there's someone like you.

0:42:31 > 0:42:33That's why I put up with the rest of them.

0:42:56 > 0:42:59I keep remembering all the people I've killed.

0:43:02 > 0:43:03Every day I think of more.

0:43:06 > 0:43:07Being bad...

0:43:08 > 0:43:09Being bad drowned that out.

0:43:13 > 0:43:15I didn't know I even knew their names.

0:43:19 > 0:43:21You didn't tell me about this bit.

0:43:23 > 0:43:24I'm sorry, but this is good.

0:43:28 > 0:43:30OK.

0:43:37 > 0:43:39There were humans on Mars in Victorian times?

0:43:39 > 0:43:41No, there weren't.

0:43:41 > 0:43:44- Faraday asked for my help. - In return for what?

0:43:44 > 0:43:46Halt!

0:43:46 > 0:43:48This could be the entrance to an Ice Warrior hive.

0:43:48 > 0:43:52Faraday has been using you all along.

0:43:52 > 0:43:54His aim was to get back to Mars and find his queen.

0:43:54 > 0:43:57Rise, my Ice Warriors!

0:43:57 > 0:44:00Rise!

0:44:00 > 0:44:02I dare say the British Army is more than a match for a bunch

0:44:02 > 0:44:04of upright crocodiles!

0:44:04 > 0:44:07You don't stand a chance when you see those warriors.
