0:01:37 > 0:01:39Just one trip,
0:01:39 > 0:01:42that's what I said, one trip in the TARDIS and then home.
0:01:42 > 0:01:46Although I suppose we could...stretch the definition.
0:01:46 > 0:01:50One trip into the past, one into the future, how do you fancy that?
0:01:50 > 0:01:52No complaints from me.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54How about...
0:01:54 > 0:01:57- a different planet? - Can we go to yours?
0:02:00 > 0:02:02- Aah, there's plenty of other places. - Come on!
0:02:02 > 0:02:08- I mean, planet of the Time Lords, that's gotta be worth a look. What's it like?- Well, it's beautiful, yeah.
0:02:08 > 0:02:12Is it like, you know, outer space cities, all spires and stuff?
0:02:12 > 0:02:14Suppose it is.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17Great big temples and cathedrals?
0:02:17 > 0:02:19- Yeah. - With lots of planets in the sky?
0:02:23 > 0:02:24The sky's a burnt orange
0:02:26 > 0:02:30with the Citadel enclosed in a mighty glass dome,
0:02:30 > 0:02:33shining under the twin suns.
0:02:33 > 0:02:39Beyond that, the mountains go on for ever, slopes of deep red grass,
0:02:39 > 0:02:41capped with snow.
0:02:45 > 0:02:49Can we go there?
0:02:49 > 0:02:53Naah, where's the fun for me? I don't want to go home! Instead...
0:02:55 > 0:02:59This is much better! The year 5 billion and 53, planet New Earth!
0:02:59 > 0:03:0250,000 light years from your old world,
0:03:02 > 0:03:05and we're slap bang in the middle of New New York.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07Technically, it's the 15th New York
0:03:07 > 0:03:10so it's New New New New New New New New New New New New New New New York,
0:03:10 > 0:03:15- one of the most dazzling cities ever built.- Oh, that's nice(!)
0:03:15 > 0:03:16Time Lord version of dazzling.
0:03:16 > 0:03:20Naah, bit of rain never hurt anyone. Let's get undercover.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26He has arrived.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28What should I do?
0:03:28 > 0:03:31Find him. Before it's too late.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42It looks like the same old Earth to me.
0:03:42 > 0:03:43On a Wednesday afternoon.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45Hold on, let's have a look.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47SCREWDRIVER WHIRRS
0:03:50 > 0:03:53And the driving should be clear and easy,
0:03:53 > 0:03:57with 15 extra lanes open for the New New Jersey Expressway.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59That's more like it, that's the view we had last time.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01This must be the lower levels,
0:04:01 > 0:04:04down at the base of the tower, some sort of Undercity.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06The slums.
0:04:06 > 0:04:10More interesting! It's all cocktails and glitter up there. This is the real city.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12- You'd enjoy anything.- That's me!
0:04:12 > 0:04:15Ah, the rain's stopping. Better and better!
0:04:15 > 0:04:19When you say "last time", was that you and Rose?
0:04:19 > 0:04:21Um, yeah, yeah, it was, yeah.
0:04:21 > 0:04:25- You're taking me to the same planets that you took her? - What's wrong with that?
0:04:25 > 0:04:29Nothing. Just, ever heard the word "rebound"?
0:04:29 > 0:04:32Oh, you should've said. How long have you been there?
0:04:32 > 0:04:35Happy, you want happy? Happy, happy.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38Customers, customers. We've got customers.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41We're in business! Mother, open up the mellow!
0:04:41 > 0:04:43Happy happy, lovely happy happy.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45Anger! Buy some anger.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48Mellow, makes you feel bendy and soft all day long!
0:04:48 > 0:04:51They'll rip you off. Do you want some happy?
0:04:51 > 0:04:54- No, thanks.- Are they selling drugs?
0:04:54 > 0:04:57I think they're selling moods.
0:04:57 > 0:04:58Same thing, isn't it?
0:05:00 > 0:05:02Oi, you, over here! Over here.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05Buy some happy, happy. happy.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07- What can I get you? - I want to buy forget.
0:05:07 > 0:05:11I've got forget, what strength? How much do you want forgetting?
0:05:11 > 0:05:13My mother and father went on the Motorway.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16Oh, that's a swine.
0:05:16 > 0:05:20Try this, Forget 43, that's two credits.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23Sorry, but, hold on a minute, what happened to your parents?
0:05:23 > 0:05:28- They drove off. - Yeah, but they might drive back.
0:05:28 > 0:05:32Everyone goes to the Motorway in the end. I've lost them.
0:05:32 > 0:05:37But they can't have gone far, you could find them.
0:05:37 > 0:05:38No, don't!
0:05:42 > 0:05:43Sorry, what were you saying?
0:05:43 > 0:05:47Your parents, your mother and father, they're on the Motorway.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49Are they?
0:05:49 > 0:05:52That's nice.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54I'm sorry, I won't keep you.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01So that's the human race five billion years in the future.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04Off their heads on chemicals.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07I'm really, really sorry. We just need three, that's all.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09I'm warning you, let her go!
0:06:09 > 0:06:13Whatever you want, I can help, both of us can help you, but first, you've got to let her go!
0:06:21 > 0:06:24SCREWDRIVER WHIRRS
0:06:24 > 0:06:29The Doctor is so gonna kill you and never mind him, I'm gonna kill you myself. Let go of me!
0:06:29 > 0:06:33- Give her some sleep.- Don't you dare! Don't you put that thing on me.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36It's just Sleep 14, don't fight it.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38That's it, come on, that's it.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40Get on board.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49Engaging antigravs. Hold on!
0:06:55 > 0:06:57MARTHA!
0:07:03 > 0:07:07She's all right, she's breathing. Pulse is fine, no harm done.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10She looks rich. She must've got lost.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12She's worth her weight in gold to us.
0:07:12 > 0:07:17This is Car 465 Diamond 6, we have three passengers, repeat, three.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19Request access to the Fast Lane.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22- 'Access granted.'- Oh, yes!
0:07:26 > 0:07:30Thought you'd come back. Do you want some happy happy?
0:07:30 > 0:07:34Who were those people? Where did they take her?
0:07:34 > 0:07:37- They've taken her to the Motorway. - Looked like carjackers.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40I'd give up now, darling, you won't see her again.
0:07:40 > 0:07:44Used to be thriving, this place. But they all go to the Motorway in the end.
0:07:44 > 0:07:48He kept on saying three, "We need three." What did he mean, three?
0:07:48 > 0:07:50It's the car-sharing policy, to save fuel.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53You get special access if you're carrying three adults.
0:07:53 > 0:07:57- How do I get there? - Down the alley, keep going to the end, you can't miss it.
0:07:57 > 0:08:02Tell you what, buy some happy happy, then you'll be smiling, my love!
0:08:02 > 0:08:07Word of advice. All of you cash up, close down and pack your bags.
0:08:07 > 0:08:11- Why's that, then?- Because as soon as I've found her alive and well,
0:08:11 > 0:08:14and I will find her alive and well, then I'm coming back.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16And this street is closing.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18Tonight.
0:08:20 > 0:08:24- MUFFLED:- Car 465 Diamond 6 heading for the Fast Lane.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27..Thank you very much.
0:08:27 > 0:08:31- You just settle down. It's all gonna be worth it.- Yeah.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36The view from the windows. You can see all the way to the open sky.
0:08:36 > 0:08:41- CLEAR:- They say the air smells like apple grass, can you imagine?
0:08:41 > 0:08:46And houses are made of wood, there are jobs going in the foundries - everyone says so.
0:08:46 > 0:08:51Take me back. Whoever you are, just take me back to my friend, that's all I want.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53I won't cause any trouble, just take me back.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56I'm sorry, that's not a real gun.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58Yeah, well, you would say that.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00Where do you get a gun from these days?
0:09:00 > 0:09:03I wouldn't even know how to fire.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06No, nor me. OK.
0:09:06 > 0:09:07What's your name?
0:09:07 > 0:09:11Martha. Martha Jones.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13Well, I'm Cheen, and this is Milo.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16And I swear, we're sorry, we're really, really sorry.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18We needed access to the Fast Lane.
0:09:18 > 0:09:24- As soon as we arrive, we'll drop you and you can go back to your friend. - Seriously?- I swear, look!
0:09:24 > 0:09:25Honesty patch.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27All the same,
0:09:27 > 0:09:30it's still kidnapping! Where are we, anyway?
0:09:30 > 0:09:33- We're on the Motorway. - What's that, then? Fog?
0:09:33 > 0:09:35- It's exhaust fumes. - We're going out to Brooklyn.
0:09:35 > 0:09:40Everyone says the air's so much cleaner, and we couldn't stay in Pharmacytown, cos...
0:09:40 > 0:09:44Well, cos of me. I'm pregnant. We only discovered it last week.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46- Scan says it's going to be a boy. - Right!
0:09:46 > 0:09:49What do I do now, congratulate my kidnappers?
0:09:49 > 0:09:52Oh, we're not kidnappers, not really.
0:09:52 > 0:09:56- No, you're idiots. You're having a baby and you're wearing that?- Ow!
0:09:56 > 0:10:01- Not any more.- We'll be as fast as we can. We'll take the Motorway to the Brooklyn Flyover
0:10:01 > 0:10:04and then, after that, it's gonna take a while,
0:10:04 > 0:10:08- cos there's no Fast Lane, just ordinary roads, but it's direct. - It's only ten miles.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11- How long's it gonna take? - About six years.
0:10:13 > 0:10:17- What?- We'll be just in time for him to start school.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21No, sorry, hold on. Six years?
0:10:21 > 0:10:24Ten miles in six years? How come?
0:10:24 > 0:10:27SCREWDRIVER WHIRRS
0:10:31 > 0:10:34HORNS TOOT
0:10:36 > 0:10:38HE COUGHS
0:10:38 > 0:10:40HORNS TOOT
0:10:52 > 0:10:56Hey, you daft little streetstrut, what are you doing, standing there?
0:10:56 > 0:10:58Either get out or get in! Come on!
0:11:02 > 0:11:06- Did you ever see the like? - Here you go.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09He's just standing there, breathing it in.
0:11:09 > 0:11:13There's this story, says back in the old days, on Junction 47,
0:11:13 > 0:11:17this woman stood in the exhaust fumes for a solid 20 minutes.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20By the time they found her, her head had swollen to 50 feet.
0:11:20 > 0:11:24- Oh, you're making it up. - A 50-foot head, just think of it!
0:11:24 > 0:11:27- Imagine picking that nose. - Stop it, that's disgusting!
0:11:27 > 0:11:31- Did you never pick your nose? - Bran, we're moving.- Right, I'm on it.
0:11:35 > 0:11:39HORNS BLARE AND ENGINES ROAR
0:11:40 > 0:11:4320 yards - we're having a good day.
0:11:43 > 0:11:47And who might you be, sir? Very well dressed for a hitchhiker.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50- Thanks. Sorry. I'm the Doctor. - Medical man!
0:11:50 > 0:11:56- My name's Thomas Kincaid Brannigan, and this is the bane of my life, the lovely Valerie.- Nice to meet you.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58And that's the rest of the family, behind you.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03Ah, that's nice.
0:12:03 > 0:12:04THEY MEW
0:12:04 > 0:12:06Hello!
0:12:09 > 0:12:11- How old are they?- Just two months.
0:12:11 > 0:12:15Poor little souls, they've never known the ground beneath their paws.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17Children of the Motorway.
0:12:17 > 0:12:18What, they were born in here?
0:12:18 > 0:12:20We couldn't stop.
0:12:20 > 0:12:25We heard there were jobs out in the laundries, on Fire Island, thought we'd take a chance.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27You've been driving for two months?
0:12:27 > 0:12:30Do I look like a teenager? We've been driving for 12 years now.
0:12:30 > 0:12:35- I'm sorry?- Yeah, started out as newlyweds. Feels like yesterday.
0:12:35 > 0:12:39- Feels like 12 years to me.- Ah, sweetheart, but you still love me.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42But 12 years! How far did you come? Where did you start?
0:12:42 > 0:12:43Battery Park, five miles back.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46You've travelled five miles in 12 years?
0:12:46 > 0:12:47I think he's a bit slow.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51- Where are you from?- Never mind. I've got to get out.
0:12:51 > 0:12:56My friend's in one of these cars - she was taken hostage. I should get back to the TARDIS.
0:12:56 > 0:13:00You're too late for that, we've passed the lay-by.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02You're a passenger now, Sunny Jim.
0:13:02 > 0:13:06- When's the next lay-by? - Ooh, six months.
0:13:12 > 0:13:16- MARTHA: How many cars are out there? - I don't think anyone knows.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20There we go. Hungry?
0:13:20 > 0:13:22Thanks.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24But how far down is it to this Fast Lane?
0:13:24 > 0:13:29Right at the bottom, under the traffic jam. Not many people can afford three passengers,
0:13:29 > 0:13:30so it's empty down there.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32Rumour has it you can reach up to 30mph!
0:13:32 > 0:13:35Wow, that's like, crazy(!)
0:13:35 > 0:13:41- But how are you supposed to live inside this thing? It's tiny.- Oh, we stocked up!
0:13:41 > 0:13:45We've got self-replicating fuel, muscle stimulants for exercise, a chemical toilet,
0:13:45 > 0:13:48and all waste products are recycled as food.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50OK!
0:13:50 > 0:13:52Another gap - this is brilliant!
0:13:52 > 0:13:58- Car 465 Diamond 6 on descent to Fast Lane, thank you very much. - 'Please drive safely.'
0:14:00 > 0:14:02I need to talk to the police.
0:14:02 > 0:14:06'Thank you for your call. You have been placed on hold.'
0:14:06 > 0:14:10- You're the police! - 'Thank you for your call. You have been placed on hold.'
0:14:10 > 0:14:14Is there anyone else? I once met the Duke of Manhattan.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16- Is there any way to contact him? - Oh, lordly!
0:14:16 > 0:14:21- I have to find my friend! - You can't make outside calls. The Motorway's completely enclosed.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23- What about the other cars? - We have contact with some.
0:14:23 > 0:14:30They must be on your Friends List. Now, let's see, who's nearby? Ah, the Cassini Sisters.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33Be still your hearts, my handsome girls, it's Brannigan here.
0:14:33 > 0:14:37Get off the line, Brannigan, you're a pest and a menace.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40Come on, now, Sisters, is that any way to talk to an old friend?
0:14:40 > 0:14:44You know full well we're not sisters, we're married.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47Oooh, stop that modern talk, I'm an old-fashioned cat.
0:14:47 > 0:14:51Now, I've got a hitchhiker here, calls himself the Doctor.
0:14:51 > 0:14:55I'm looking for someone called Martha Jones. She's been carjacked.
0:14:55 > 0:15:00- She's inside one of these vehicles, but I don't know which one. - Wait a minute!
0:15:00 > 0:15:03Could I ask, what entrance did they use?
0:15:03 > 0:15:06- Where were we?- Pharmacytown. - Pharmacytown,
0:15:06 > 0:15:09- about 20 minutes ago. - Let's have a look.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12Just my luck, to marry a carspotter.
0:15:12 > 0:15:19- In the last half hour, 53 new cars joined from the Pharmacytown Junction.- Anything more specific?
0:15:19 > 0:15:21All in good time.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24Was she carjacked by two people?
0:15:24 > 0:15:26- Yes, she was, yeah.- There we are.
0:15:26 > 0:15:31Just one of those cars was destined for the Fast Lane. That means they had three on board,
0:15:31 > 0:15:34and the Car number is 465 Diamond 6.
0:15:34 > 0:15:39- That's it! So how do we find them? - Ah, now, there, I'm afraid, I can't help.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41Can we call them? We've got their number.
0:15:41 > 0:15:46- Not if they're designated Fast Lane, it's a different class. - You could try the police.
0:15:46 > 0:15:50- They put me on hold. - You'll have to keep trying. There's no-one else.
0:15:51 > 0:15:52Thank you.
0:16:00 > 0:16:04Do you see? Another ten layers to go, and we're scorching.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07GRINDING ROAR
0:16:08 > 0:16:10What's that?
0:16:10 > 0:16:14- It's coming from underneath. - It's that noise, isn't it?
0:16:14 > 0:16:16It's like Kate said. The stories, they're true.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19- What stories?- It's the sound of the Air Vents, that's all.
0:16:19 > 0:16:23Exhaust fumes travel down to Air Vents at the base of the tunnel.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25No, but the stories are much better.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28They say people go missing on the Motorway.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31Some cars just vanish, never to be seen again.
0:16:31 > 0:16:35Cos there's something living down there, in the smoke.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38Something huge.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40And hungry.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43And if you get lost on the road, it's waiting for you.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47GRINDING ROAR
0:16:49 > 0:16:52Like I said, Air Vents!
0:16:52 > 0:16:55Going down to the next layer.
0:16:55 > 0:16:59Except, look out there. Does it look like the Air Vents are working?
0:16:59 > 0:17:01No.
0:17:01 > 0:17:05GRINDING ROAR
0:17:05 > 0:17:06So what's that, then?
0:17:09 > 0:17:11Nah, kids' stuff.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14Car 465 Diamond 6 on descent.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16Take me down to the Fast Lane.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19- Not in a million years! - You've got three passengers.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22- I'm still not going! - She's alone and she's lost.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25She doesn't even belong on this planet, and it's my fault.
0:17:25 > 0:17:30- I'm asking you, Brannigan, take me down.- That's a no, and that's final.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32I'm not risking the children down there.
0:17:32 > 0:17:34Why not? What happens down there?
0:17:34 > 0:17:37We're not discussing it. The conversation is closed.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40So we keep on driving?
0:17:40 > 0:17:41- Yes, we do.- For how long?
0:17:41 > 0:17:43Till the journey's end.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47Mrs Cassini, this is the Doctor.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49How long have you been on the Motorway?
0:17:49 > 0:17:51Oh, we were amongst the first.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53It's been 23 years now.
0:17:53 > 0:17:57But in all that time, have you ever seen a police car?
0:17:59 > 0:18:02I'm not sure.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05Look at your notes. Any police?
0:18:07 > 0:18:12- Not as such. - Or an ambulance? Rescue service? Anything official? Ever?
0:18:12 > 0:18:17- I can't keep a note of everything. - What if there's no-one out there?
0:18:17 > 0:18:21- Stop it! The Cassinis were doing you a favour.- Someone's got to ask.
0:18:21 > 0:18:26Cos you might not talk about it, but it's there, in your eyes.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28What if the traffic jam never stops?
0:18:28 > 0:18:33There's a whole city above us - the mighty City State of New New York. They wouldn't just leave us.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36In that case, where are they? Hmm?
0:18:37 > 0:18:40What if there's no help coming, not ever?
0:18:40 > 0:18:42What if there's nothing -
0:18:42 > 0:18:47just the Motorway, with the cars going round and round and round and round,
0:18:47 > 0:18:51- never stopping, for ever? - Shut up! Just shut up!
0:18:51 > 0:18:54'This is Sally Calypso'
0:18:54 > 0:18:56and it's that time again.
0:18:56 > 0:19:02The sun is blazing high over the New Atlantic, the perfect setting for the Daily Contemplation.
0:19:02 > 0:19:06You think you know us so well, Doctor. We're not abandoned.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08Not while we have each other.
0:19:08 > 0:19:15This is for all of you out there on the roads. We're so sorry. Drive safe.

0:20:41 > 0:20:43We made it. The Fast Lane.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55If you won't take me, I'll go down on my own.
0:20:56 > 0:21:00- What do you think you're doing? - Finding my own way. I usually do.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03'Capsule open.'
0:21:06 > 0:21:08Here we go.
0:21:10 > 0:21:11Look after this.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15I love that coat.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18- Janis Joplin gave me that coat. - But you can't jump!
0:21:18 > 0:21:21If it's any consolation, Valerie, right now, I'M having kittens.
0:21:21 > 0:21:25This Martha, she must mean an awful lot to you.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27Hardly know her.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29I was too busy showing off.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31And I lied to her.
0:21:31 > 0:21:35I couldn't help it, just lied.
0:21:35 > 0:21:36Bye, then!
0:21:43 > 0:21:49- He's completely insane! - That, and a bit magnificent!
0:21:51 > 0:21:53'Capsule open.'
0:21:53 > 0:21:56- Who the hell are you? - Sorry, Motorway Foot Patrol.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59I'm doing a survey. How are you enjoying your Motorway?
0:21:59 > 0:22:02Not very much. Junction five's been closed for three years!
0:22:02 > 0:22:05Your comments have been noted. Have a nice day.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18'Capsule open.'
0:22:21 > 0:22:25- 'Capsule open.' - Thank you for your co-operation. Your comments have been noted.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27Do you mind if I borrow this?
0:22:27 > 0:22:29Not my colour, but thank you very much.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36- 'Capsule open.' - Don't mind me!

0:23:01 > 0:23:04We'll do the whole loop. By the time we come back round, they'll be open.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06GRINDING ROAR
0:23:08 > 0:23:10You're still calling that Air Vents?
0:23:10 > 0:23:12What else could it be?
0:23:15 > 0:23:17GRINDING ROAR
0:23:17 > 0:23:20- What the hell is that? - It's just...the hydraulics.
0:23:20 > 0:23:25- Sounds like it's alive.- It's all exhaust fumes out there, nothing could breathe in that.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28'Calling Car 465 Diamond 6. Repeat, calling Car...'
0:23:28 > 0:23:31This is 465 Diamond 6. Who's that? Where are you?
0:23:31 > 0:23:35I'm in the Fast Lane, about 50 yards behind. Can you get back up, off the Fast Lane?
0:23:35 > 0:23:39- We only have permission to go down. We need the Brooklyn Flyover. - It's closed. Go back up.
0:23:39 > 0:23:45- We'll just go round.- Don't you understand? They're closed, they're always closed. We're stuck down here!
0:23:45 > 0:23:49And there's something else out there, in the fog. Can't you hear it?
0:23:49 > 0:23:51That's the Air Vents.
0:23:51 > 0:23:55Jehovah! What are you, some stupid kid? Get out of here!
0:23:56 > 0:23:58ROARING AND WOMEN SCREAMING
0:23:58 > 0:24:00What was that?
0:24:01 > 0:24:03I can't move, they've got us.
0:24:03 > 0:24:06- But what's happening? - What's got you, what is it?
0:24:09 > 0:24:13- Hello!- Just drive, you idiots, get out of here! Get out!
0:24:13 > 0:24:18- Can you hear me? Hello!- Just drive! Do what she said - get us out of here!- But where?
0:24:18 > 0:24:23- Straight ahead and fast!- What is it? What's out there? What is it?
0:24:25 > 0:24:27'Capsule open.'
0:24:28 > 0:24:32- 'Scuse me, is that legal? - Sorry, Motorway Foot Patrol.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35- DOCTOR COUGHS - Whatever. Have you got any water?
0:24:35 > 0:24:38Certainly. Never let it be said I've lost my manners.
0:24:41 > 0:24:46- Is this the last layer?- We're right at the bottom. Nothing below us but the Fast Lane.- Can we drive down?
0:24:46 > 0:24:49- You need three to go down. - Couldn't we just cheat?
0:24:49 > 0:24:53I'd love to, but it's an automated system - the wheel would lock.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55If you'll excuse me.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57You can't jump, it's a thousand feet down!
0:24:57 > 0:24:59No, I just want to look.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02- GRINDING ROAR - What's that noise?
0:25:03 > 0:25:05I...I try not to think about it.
0:25:05 > 0:25:09What are those lights? What's down there?
0:25:13 > 0:25:15I just need to see.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19There must be some sort of ventilation.
0:25:19 > 0:25:24If I could transmit a pulse through this thing, maybe I could trip the system, get a bit of a breeze.
0:25:26 > 0:25:29Just what we need - pirates!
0:25:29 > 0:25:32I'm calling the police!
0:25:33 > 0:25:36The Doctor - where is he?
0:25:38 > 0:25:41That's it! Might shift the fumes a bit, give us a good look.
0:25:41 > 0:25:45- GRINDING SCREECH - What are those shapes?
0:25:47 > 0:25:48They're alive.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51What the hell are they?
0:25:56 > 0:25:59Macra.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06- Go faster!- I'm at top speed.
0:26:10 > 0:26:14- 'No access above.' - But this is an emergency!
0:26:16 > 0:26:20'Thank you for your call. You have been placed on hold.'
0:26:23 > 0:26:28- Turn everything off!- You've gotta be joking.- No, listen, it's all fog out there, so how can they see us?
0:26:28 > 0:26:32Maybe it's the engines, the sound or the heat. Turn everything off.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34- They might not find us. - What if you're wrong?
0:26:39 > 0:26:41It can't be worse than this. Just do it!
0:26:47 > 0:26:50SNAPPING DIES DOWN AND ROARING RECEDES
0:27:05 > 0:27:09- They've stopped.- Yeah, but they're still out there.
0:27:12 > 0:27:14How did you think of that?
0:27:14 > 0:27:16Saw it on a film.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19They used to do it in submarines.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22Trouble is, I can't remember what they did next.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25You'd better think of something, cos we've lost the aircon.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28If we don't switch the engines back on, we won't be able to breathe.
0:27:28 > 0:27:32- How long have we got? - Eight minutes - maximum.
0:27:36 > 0:27:42The Macra used to be the scourge of this galaxy. Gas - they fed off gas, the filthier the better.
0:27:42 > 0:27:46They built an empire with Human slaves, mining gas for food.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48They don't exactly look like empire-builders to me.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51Well, that was billions of years ago.
0:27:51 > 0:27:55They must've devolved down the years and now they're just beasts.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58But they're still hungry and my friend's down there.
0:27:58 > 0:27:59HATCH OPENS
0:27:59 > 0:28:03Oh, it's like New Times Square in here, for goodness' sake!
0:28:03 > 0:28:05I've invented a sport!
0:28:05 > 0:28:07Doctor, you're a hard man to find.
0:28:07 > 0:28:11- No guns. I'm not having guns!- I only brought this in case of pirates.
0:28:11 > 0:28:15- Doctor, you've got to come with me. - Do I know you?
0:28:15 > 0:28:20You haven't aged at all. Time has been less kind to me.
0:28:20 > 0:28:22Novice Hame!
0:28:22 > 0:28:27No! Hold on, get off! Last time we met, you were breeding Humans for experimentation.
0:28:27 > 0:28:32I've sought forgiveness, Doctor, for so many years under his guidance.
0:28:32 > 0:28:36And if you come with me, I might finally be able to redeem myself.
0:28:36 > 0:28:40I'm not going anywhere. You've got Macra living under this city!
0:28:40 > 0:28:43- And my friend's stuck down there. - You've got to come with me!
0:28:43 > 0:28:46- YOU'RE coming with ME. We've got three passengers!- Sorry.
0:28:46 > 0:28:49But the situation is even worse than you can imagine.
0:28:49 > 0:28:52- Transport. - Don't you dare! Don't you dare!
0:28:56 > 0:28:58Oh!
0:28:59 > 0:29:04Rough teleport. Ow! But you can go straight back out and teleport people out, starting with Martha.
0:29:04 > 0:29:06I only had the power for one trip.
0:29:06 > 0:29:08Then get some more! Where are we?
0:29:08 > 0:29:11High above, in the Overcity.
0:29:11 > 0:29:14Good, cos you can tell the Senate of New New York, I'd like a word!
0:29:14 > 0:29:17They've got millions trapped on the Motorway!
0:29:17 > 0:29:21But you're inside the Senate, right now.
0:29:21 > 0:29:23May the Goddess Santori bless them.
0:29:28 > 0:29:30They died, Doctor.
0:29:30 > 0:29:34The city died.
0:29:34 > 0:29:37- How long's it been like this? - 24 years.
0:29:44 > 0:29:48- All of them? Everyone? What happened?- A new chemical,
0:29:48 > 0:29:50a new mood.
0:29:50 > 0:29:52They called it Bliss.
0:29:52 > 0:29:56Everyone tried it. They couldn't stop.
0:29:56 > 0:30:01A virus mutated inside the compound and became airborne.
0:30:01 > 0:30:06Everything perished, even the virus in the end.
0:30:06 > 0:30:09It killed the world in seven minutes flat.
0:30:09 > 0:30:15There was just enough time to close down the walkways and the flyovers, sealing off the Undercity.
0:30:15 > 0:30:19Those people on the Motorway aren't lost, Doctor.
0:30:19 > 0:30:23- They were saved.- So the whole thing down there is running on automatic?
0:30:23 > 0:30:27There's not enough power to get them out. We did all we could to stop the system from choking.
0:30:27 > 0:30:29Who's "we"? How did you survive?
0:30:29 > 0:30:31He protected me.
0:30:31 > 0:30:35And he has waited for you, these long years.
0:30:35 > 0:30:37Doctor!
0:30:41 > 0:30:43The Face of Boe!
0:30:44 > 0:30:46I knew you would come.
0:30:46 > 0:30:53Back in the old days, I was made his nurse, as penance for my sins.
0:30:53 > 0:30:55Old friend, what happened to you?
0:30:55 > 0:31:01- Failing.- He protected me from the virus by shrouding me in his smoke.
0:31:01 > 0:31:06But with no one to maintain it, the City's power died. The Undercity would have fallen into the sea.
0:31:08 > 0:31:10So he saved them.
0:31:10 > 0:31:13The Face of Boe wired himself into the mainframe.
0:31:13 > 0:31:17He's giving his life force just to keep things running.
0:31:17 > 0:31:20But there are planets out there. You could've called for help.
0:31:20 > 0:31:23The last act of the Senate was to declare New Earth unsafe.
0:31:23 > 0:31:27The automatic quarantine lasts for 100 years.
0:31:29 > 0:31:32THE FACE OF BOE'S BREATHING IS LABOURED
0:31:32 > 0:31:35So the two of you stayed here...
0:31:37 > 0:31:40..on your own, for all these years.
0:31:40 > 0:31:42We had no choice.
0:31:44 > 0:31:46Yes, you did.
0:31:46 > 0:31:49Save them, Doctor,
0:31:49 > 0:31:52save them!
0:31:58 > 0:32:00How much air's left?
0:32:01 > 0:32:03Two minutes.
0:32:05 > 0:32:07There's always the Doctor.
0:32:07 > 0:32:10That friend of mine.
0:32:10 > 0:32:12He might think of something.
0:32:12 > 0:32:14Martha, no-one's coming.
0:32:19 > 0:32:21He looked kind of nice.
0:32:21 > 0:32:23He's a bit more than that.
0:32:23 > 0:32:25Are you and him...?
0:32:25 > 0:32:28Sometimes, I think he likes me, but...
0:32:28 > 0:32:31sometimes I just think he needs someone with him.
0:32:33 > 0:32:35I never even asked.
0:32:35 > 0:32:37Where's home?
0:32:37 > 0:32:39It's a long way away.
0:32:40 > 0:32:44I didn't really think, I just followed the Doctor, and...
0:32:46 > 0:32:49They don't even know where I am,
0:32:49 > 0:32:51my mum and dad.
0:32:51 > 0:32:54If I died here, they'd never know.
0:32:56 > 0:33:00So, um, who is he, then, this Doctor?
0:33:00 > 0:33:02I don't know.
0:33:02 > 0:33:04Well, not really.
0:33:04 > 0:33:07There's so much he never says.
0:33:07 > 0:33:10But that means that...
0:33:10 > 0:33:14the only hope, right now, is a complete stranger.
0:33:17 > 0:33:23- Well, that's no use. - It is, though, because you haven't seen the things he can do.
0:33:23 > 0:33:26Honestly, just trust me, both of you.
0:33:26 > 0:33:30You've got your faith, you've got your songs and your hymns.
0:33:30 > 0:33:32And I've got the Doctor.
0:33:36 > 0:33:37Right.
0:33:39 > 0:33:42'Systems back on line.'
0:33:45 > 0:33:47- Good luck.- And you.
0:33:56 > 0:33:58Car 465 Diamond 6, it still registers!
0:33:58 > 0:34:03That's Martha. I knew she was good! Novice Hame, hold that in place.
0:34:03 > 0:34:08Think, think, think! Take the residual energy, invert it, feed it through the Electricity Beds.
0:34:08 > 0:34:10- There isn't the power. - You've got power. You've got me!
0:34:10 > 0:34:12I'm brilliant with computers.
0:34:12 > 0:34:16Hame, every switch on that bank, up to maximum!
0:34:21 > 0:34:24I can't power up the City, but all the City needs is people.
0:34:24 > 0:34:27- So what are you going to do? - This!
0:34:28 > 0:34:31No, no, no, no, no, no!
0:34:37 > 0:34:40THEY SCREAM
0:34:46 > 0:34:51- The transformers are blocked, the signal can't get through. - Doctor...- Yeah, hold on, not now.
0:34:51 > 0:34:54I give you my last...
0:34:54 > 0:34:56FACE OF BOE GASPS
0:35:00 > 0:35:05Hame, look after him. Don't you go dying on me, you big old face! You've got to see this.
0:35:07 > 0:35:09The open road! Hah!
0:35:09 > 0:35:11- BANG! - What in Jehovah was that?!
0:35:11 > 0:35:12It's coming from above.
0:35:12 > 0:35:15What is it? What's happening?
0:35:17 > 0:35:19Hold on, May.
0:35:22 > 0:35:24By all the Cats in the Kingdom...!
0:35:27 > 0:35:29What is it?
0:35:37 > 0:35:39BRANNIGAN LAUGHS What is it?
0:35:43 > 0:35:45Oh, yes!
0:35:46 > 0:35:49It's the sun! Oh, Brannigan!
0:35:51 > 0:35:54Children! It's the sunlight.
0:35:54 > 0:35:58Sorry, no Sally Calypso, she was just a hologram.
0:35:58 > 0:36:00- My name's the Doctor. - He's a magician.
0:36:00 > 0:36:05- And this is an order. Everyone, drive up! Right now!- Is he serious?
0:36:05 > 0:36:10I've opened the roof of the Motorway, come on! Throttle those engines. Drive up, all of you.
0:36:10 > 0:36:14- The whole Undercity.- Here we go. - Drive up, drive up, drive up!
0:36:14 > 0:36:17We've got to clear that Fast Lane. Drive up and get out of the way.
0:36:17 > 0:36:20- BRANNIGAN:- Here we go! Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!
0:36:20 > 0:36:22Oi! Car 465 Diamond 6.
0:36:22 > 0:36:26- Martha, drive up!- That's the Doctor! - We can't go up, we'll hit the layer.
0:36:26 > 0:36:29- Do as he says, go up! - You've got access above!
0:36:29 > 0:36:31Now, go!
0:36:43 > 0:36:44It's daylight!
0:36:44 > 0:36:49Oh, my God, that's the sky, the real sky!
0:36:49 > 0:36:51He did it!
0:36:52 > 0:36:54I told you, he did it!
0:37:03 > 0:37:08Did I tell you, Doctor? You're not bad, sir. You're not bad at all!
0:37:15 > 0:37:18You keep driving, Brannigan, all the way up!
0:37:18 > 0:37:22Cos it's here, just waiting for you, the City of New New York.
0:37:22 > 0:37:28- And it's yours. And don't forget, I want that coat back.- 'I reckon that's a fair bargain, sir.'
0:37:28 > 0:37:32And Car 465 Diamond 6, I've sent you a flight path.
0:37:32 > 0:37:34- Come to the Senate.- 'On my way!'
0:37:34 > 0:37:38- It's been quite a while since I saw you, Martha Jones.- Doctor!
0:38:00 > 0:38:01Doctor!
0:38:01 > 0:38:03Over here.
0:38:03 > 0:38:06Doctor, what happened out there?
0:38:09 > 0:38:12- What's that? - The Face of Boe. It's all right.
0:38:12 > 0:38:17Come and say hello. And this is Hame, she's a cat. Don't worry.
0:38:18 > 0:38:21He's the one that saved you, not me.
0:38:21 > 0:38:25My lord gave his life to save the City.
0:38:25 > 0:38:27And now he's dying.
0:38:27 > 0:38:29No, don't say that. Not old Boe.
0:38:29 > 0:38:34- Plenty of life left.- It's good to breathe the air once more.
0:38:34 > 0:38:36Who is he?
0:38:38 > 0:38:41I don't even know.
0:38:41 > 0:38:45Legend says the Face of Boe has lived for billions of years.
0:38:45 > 0:38:47Isn't that right?
0:38:47 > 0:38:50And you're not about to give up now.
0:38:50 > 0:38:53Everything has its time.
0:38:53 > 0:38:56You know that, old friend, better than most.
0:38:56 > 0:38:59- The legend says more.- Don't, there's no need for that.
0:38:59 > 0:39:04It says the Face of Boe will speak his final secret to a traveller.
0:39:04 > 0:39:06Yeah, but not yet. Who needs secrets, eh?
0:39:06 > 0:39:09I have seen so much.
0:39:09 > 0:39:14Perhaps too much. I am the last of my kind...
0:39:15 > 0:39:20..as you are the last of yours, Doctor.
0:39:21 > 0:39:24That's why we have to survive.
0:39:25 > 0:39:27Both of us.
0:39:27 > 0:39:29Don't go.
0:39:29 > 0:39:31I must.
0:39:31 > 0:39:34But know this, Time Lord.
0:39:34 > 0:39:37YOU are not alone.
0:39:52 > 0:39:54SHE WEEPS
0:40:18 > 0:40:21- All closed down.- Happy?
0:40:21 > 0:40:24Happy happy.
0:40:24 > 0:40:26New New York can start again.
0:40:26 > 0:40:28And they've got Novice Hame.
0:40:28 > 0:40:32Just what every city needs - cats in charge! Come on, time we were off.
0:40:32 > 0:40:35But what did he mean, the Face of Boe?
0:40:35 > 0:40:37You are not alone.
0:40:37 > 0:40:39I don't know.
0:40:39 > 0:40:41You've got me,
0:40:41 > 0:40:43is that what he meant?
0:40:44 > 0:40:46I don't think so.
0:40:47 > 0:40:48Sorry.
0:40:48 > 0:40:50Then what?
0:40:50 > 0:40:53Doesn't matter. Back to the TARDIS, off we go.
0:40:59 > 0:41:01All right. You staying?
0:41:01 > 0:41:03Till you talk to me properly, yes.
0:41:03 > 0:41:07- He said "last of your kind". What does that mean? - It really doesn't matter.
0:41:07 > 0:41:09You don't talk. You never say. Why not?
0:41:09 > 0:41:15MASSED VOICES SING: # Fast falls the eventide... #
0:41:15 > 0:41:17It's the city.
0:41:17 > 0:41:20# ..The darkness deepens... #
0:41:20 > 0:41:24They're singing.
0:41:24 > 0:41:31# Lord, with me abide
0:41:31 > 0:41:38# When other helpers fail... #
0:41:38 > 0:41:41I lied to you...cos I liked it.
0:41:43 > 0:41:45I could pretend.
0:41:45 > 0:41:48Just for a bit, I could imagine they were still alive,
0:41:48 > 0:41:51underneath a burnt orange sky.
0:41:54 > 0:41:56I'm not just a Time Lord.
0:41:58 > 0:42:00I'm the last of the Time Lords.
0:42:02 > 0:42:05The Face of Boe was wrong, there's no-one else.
0:42:05 > 0:42:07What happened?
0:42:07 > 0:42:10DISTANT SINGING CONTINUES
0:42:19 > 0:42:21There was a war.
0:42:23 > 0:42:25A Time War -
0:42:25 > 0:42:28the Last Great Time War.
0:42:28 > 0:42:31My people fought a race called the Daleks,
0:42:31 > 0:42:34for the sake of all creation.
0:42:34 > 0:42:37And they lost.
0:42:37 > 0:42:40We lost, everyone lost.
0:42:44 > 0:42:46They're all gone now.
0:42:46 > 0:42:48My family,
0:42:48 > 0:42:53my friends, even that sky.
0:42:53 > 0:42:56Oh, you should've seen it, that old planet.
0:43:00 > 0:43:05The second sun would rise in the south, and the mountains would shine.
0:43:07 > 0:43:10The leaves on the trees were silver,
0:43:10 > 0:43:15and when they caught the light every morning, it looked like a forest on fire.
0:43:16 > 0:43:22When the autumn came, the breeze would blow through the branches like a song...
0:43:22 > 0:43:25# ..The darkness deepens
0:43:25 > 0:43:32# Lord, with me abide... #
0:43:34 > 0:43:37It's the Statue of Liberty. I always wanted to go to New York.
0:43:38 > 0:43:42It's the Depression, sweetie. Your heart might break but the show goes on.
0:43:42 > 0:43:46- "Hooverville mystery deepens". - Arm yourselves! Come on!
0:43:46 > 0:43:49- Who are we working for? - Behold your masters!
0:43:49 > 0:43:51What do you mean, "creatures"?
0:43:51 > 0:43:54- SQUEAL! - What the hell was that?- Doctor?
0:43:54 > 0:43:55RUN!
0:43:56 > 0:43:59- Hands in the air and no funny business.- Where's Martha?
0:43:59 > 0:44:01SCREAM
0:44:01 > 0:44:03He's insane! He's inhuman!
0:44:03 > 0:44:05Sssh, sssh, sssh!
0:44:05 > 0:44:08They always survive, while I lose everything.
