0:00:04 > 0:00:06AMY POND: Life with the Doctor was like this...

0:00:14 > 0:00:16Real life was like this...

0:00:16 > 0:00:18- BLEEP - 'It's Lane's Opticians.

0:00:18 > 0:00:21'Just reminding you your reading glasses are ready for collection.'

0:00:21 > 0:00:23- Milk.- 'Bye!' - BLEEP Two months out of date.

0:00:23 > 0:00:25Yoghurt...agh! Nasty.

0:00:25 > 0:00:28We've run out of washing tablets.

0:00:28 > 0:00:30We have two lives.

0:00:30 > 0:00:33Real life and Doctor life.

0:00:33 > 0:00:36Except real life doesn't get much of a look in.

0:00:36 > 0:00:38What do we do?

0:00:38 > 0:00:40Choose?

0:00:43 > 0:00:45TARDIS LANDS

0:00:46 > 0:00:48- Not today, though.- Nah, not today.

0:00:48 > 0:00:50'Every time we flew away with the Doctor,

0:00:50 > 0:00:52'we'd just become part of his life.

0:00:52 > 0:00:55'But he never stood still long enough to become part of ours.

0:00:55 > 0:00:57'Except once.'

0:01:03 > 0:01:06The year of the slow invasion.

0:01:07 > 0:01:10The time the Doctor came to stay.

0:01:47 > 0:01:49DOORBELL RINGS

0:01:54 > 0:01:55Dad,

0:01:55 > 0:01:56it's half past six in the morning.

0:01:56 > 0:01:58What are you doing lying around?

0:01:58 > 0:02:00Haven't you seen them?

0:02:04 > 0:02:06What are they?

0:02:06 > 0:02:08Nobody knows.

0:02:08 > 0:02:12- They're everywhere. - Where did they come from?

0:02:12 > 0:02:13Wait...

0:02:17 > 0:02:19Doctor?

0:02:20 > 0:02:23Invasion of the very small cubes.

0:02:24 > 0:02:26That's new.

0:02:26 > 0:02:28World leaders are appealing for calm...

0:02:28 > 0:02:31The global appearance of millions of small cubes.

0:02:31 > 0:02:34People have been taking the cubes from the streets

0:02:34 > 0:02:36into offices and homes...

0:02:36 > 0:02:38- What are they? - Where do they come from?

0:02:38 > 0:02:39And why are they here?

0:02:39 > 0:02:42Well, they're certainly not random space debris.

0:02:42 > 0:02:44They're too perfectly formed for that.

0:02:44 > 0:02:47Are they extra-terrestrial in origin?

0:02:47 > 0:02:48Well...

0:02:48 > 0:02:50You'll have to ask a better man than me.

0:02:50 > 0:02:52All absolutely identical.

0:02:52 > 0:02:55Not a single molecule's difference between them.

0:02:55 > 0:02:58No blemishes, imperfections, individualities...

0:02:58 > 0:03:02What if they're bombs? Billions of tiny bombs?

0:03:02 > 0:03:06Or transport capsules, maybe with a mini robot inside.

0:03:06 > 0:03:07Or deadly hard drives.

0:03:07 > 0:03:09Or alien eggs.

0:03:09 > 0:03:11Or messages needing decoding.

0:03:11 > 0:03:15Or they're all parts of a bigger whole,

0:03:15 > 0:03:17jigsaw puzzles that need fitting together.

0:03:17 > 0:03:20Very thorough, Brian. Very, very thorough. Well done.

0:03:20 > 0:03:23Stay here, watch these, yell if anything happens.

0:03:23 > 0:03:25Doctor, is this an alien invasion?

0:03:25 > 0:03:27Because that's what it feels like.

0:03:27 > 0:03:29There couldn't be life-forms in every cube, could there?

0:03:29 > 0:03:30I don't know.

0:03:30 > 0:03:32And I really don't like not knowing.

0:03:35 > 0:03:38Right, I need to use your kitchen as a lab.

0:03:38 > 0:03:39Cook up some cubes.

0:03:39 > 0:03:41See what happens.

0:03:41 > 0:03:44Right, I'm due at work.

0:03:44 > 0:03:46What, you've got a job?

0:03:46 > 0:03:47Of course I've got a...

0:03:47 > 0:03:49What do you think we do when we're not with you?

0:03:49 > 0:03:50I imagined mostly kissing.

0:03:50 > 0:03:53I write travel articles for magazines and Rory heals the sick.

0:03:53 > 0:03:58- My shift starts in an hour. You don't know where my scrubs are? - In the lounge. Where you left them.

0:03:59 > 0:04:01'Approaching site.'

0:04:03 > 0:04:04'Target unconfirmed.

0:04:04 > 0:04:05'May be hostile.'

0:04:05 > 0:04:08Approaching source now.

0:04:08 > 0:04:09Area will be secure in 60 seconds.

0:04:09 > 0:04:11Ultimate force available.

0:04:13 > 0:04:18All the Ponds, with their house and their jobs and their everyday lives.

0:04:18 > 0:04:20The journalist and the nurse.

0:04:21 > 0:04:22Long way from Leadworth.

0:04:22 > 0:04:24We think it's been 10 years.

0:04:24 > 0:04:28Not for you, or Earth. But for us.

0:04:28 > 0:04:30Ten years older, ten years of you.

0:04:30 > 0:04:31On and off.

0:04:33 > 0:04:35Look at you now.

0:04:38 > 0:04:40All grown up.

0:04:40 > 0:04:41DOOR CRASHES OPEN

0:04:42 > 0:04:43Clear!

0:04:46 > 0:04:48Trap one, kitchen secured.

0:04:48 > 0:04:50'Trap three, back garden secured.'

0:04:53 > 0:04:57There are soldiers all over my house, and I'm in my pants.

0:04:57 > 0:04:59My whole life I've dreamed of saying that,

0:04:59 > 0:05:01and I miss it by being someone else.

0:05:01 > 0:05:04All these muscles, and they still don't know how to knock.

0:05:04 > 0:05:06Sorry about the raucous entrance.

0:05:06 > 0:05:08Spike in artron energy reading at this address.

0:05:08 > 0:05:12In the light of the last 24 hours, we had to check it out.

0:05:12 > 0:05:14And the dogs do love a run out.

0:05:14 > 0:05:15Hello.

0:05:15 > 0:05:18Kate Stewart, head of scientific research at UNIT.

0:05:18 > 0:05:21And with dress sense like that...

0:05:21 > 0:05:23BLEEPING

0:05:23 > 0:05:24DOUBLE HEARTBEAT

0:05:24 > 0:05:27..you must be the Doctor.

0:05:27 > 0:05:29I hoped it would be you.

0:05:29 > 0:05:33Tell me, since when did science run the military, Kate?

0:05:33 > 0:05:35Since me. UNIT's been adapting.

0:05:35 > 0:05:37Well, I dragged them along, kicking and screaming,

0:05:37 > 0:05:40which made it sound like more fun than it actually was.

0:05:40 > 0:05:42What do we know about these cubes?

0:05:42 > 0:05:44Far less than we need to.

0:05:44 > 0:05:46We've been freighting them in from around the world for testing.

0:05:46 > 0:05:48So far, we've subjected them

0:05:48 > 0:05:51to temperatures of plus and minus 200 Celsius,

0:05:51 > 0:05:53simulated a water depth of five miles,

0:05:53 > 0:05:55dropped one out of a helicopter at 10,000 feet,

0:05:55 > 0:05:57and rolled our best tank over it. Always intact.

0:05:57 > 0:06:00That's impressive. I don't want them to be impressive.

0:06:00 > 0:06:02I want them vulnerable with a nice Achilles heel.

0:06:02 > 0:06:04We don't know how they got here,

0:06:04 > 0:06:06what they're made of or why they're here.

0:06:06 > 0:06:08And all around the world, people are picking them up,

0:06:08 > 0:06:09and taking them home.

0:06:09 > 0:06:11Like iPads have dropped out of the sky.

0:06:11 > 0:06:14Taking them to work, taking pictures, making films,

0:06:14 > 0:06:16posting them on Flickr and YouTube.

0:06:16 > 0:06:19Within three hours, the cubes had a thousand separate Twitter accounts.

0:06:19 > 0:06:20Twitter!

0:06:20 > 0:06:23I've recommended we treat this as a hostile incursion,

0:06:23 > 0:06:25gather them all up and lock them in a secure facility.

0:06:25 > 0:06:28But that would take massive international agreement

0:06:28 > 0:06:30and co-operation.

0:06:30 > 0:06:31We need evidence.

0:06:31 > 0:06:35The cubes arrived in plain sight, in vast quantities, as the sun rose.

0:06:35 > 0:06:37So what does that tell us?

0:06:37 > 0:06:39Maybe they wanted to be seen. Noticed.

0:06:39 > 0:06:42Or more than that, they want to be observed.

0:06:42 > 0:06:44So we observe them. Stay with them. Round the clock.

0:06:44 > 0:06:46Watch the cubes, day and night.

0:06:46 > 0:06:49Record absolutely everything about them.

0:06:49 > 0:06:51Team cube, in it together.

0:06:52 > 0:06:54Four days.

0:06:54 > 0:06:55Nothing!

0:06:56 > 0:06:57Nothing!

0:06:57 > 0:07:01Not a single change in any cube, anywhere in the world.

0:07:01 > 0:07:06- Four days, and I am still in your lounge!- You were the one who wanted to observe them.

0:07:06 > 0:07:10Yes, I thought they'd do something, didn't I? Not just sit there while everyone eats endless cereal!

0:07:10 > 0:07:12You said we had to be patient.

0:07:12 > 0:07:15Yes, you, you! Not me! I hate being patient!

0:07:15 > 0:07:16Patience is for wimps!

0:07:19 > 0:07:21I can't live like this.

0:07:21 > 0:07:23Don't make me. I need to be busy.

0:07:23 > 0:07:25Fine! Be busy! We'll watch the cubes.

0:07:36 > 0:07:3998, 99, 100. Amy!

0:07:45 > 0:07:50Four million, 900, 99, five million...

0:07:52 > 0:07:53That's better.

0:07:53 > 0:07:55Nothing like a bit of activity to pass the time.

0:07:55 > 0:07:57How long was I gone?

0:07:57 > 0:07:58Er...about an hour.

0:08:01 > 0:08:02Can't do it.

0:08:03 > 0:08:04No...

0:08:04 > 0:08:05Where are you going?

0:08:07 > 0:08:09Brian! You're still here.

0:08:09 > 0:08:11You told me to watch the cubes.

0:08:11 > 0:08:15- Four days ago.- Ah! Doesn't time fly when you're alone with your thoughts?

0:08:15 > 0:08:17- You can't just leave, Doctor. - Yes, of course I can.

0:08:17 > 0:08:19Quick jaunt, restore sanity...

0:08:19 > 0:08:21Oooh, hey, come if you like.

0:08:21 > 0:08:23They can't just go off like that.

0:08:23 > 0:08:24Can't they? Can't you?

0:08:24 > 0:08:27- That's how it goes, isn't it? - I've got my job.- Oh yes, Rory.

0:08:27 > 0:08:30- The universe is awaiting, but you have a little job to... - It's not little.

0:08:30 > 0:08:31It's important to me.

0:08:31 > 0:08:33Look...

0:08:33 > 0:08:34what you do isn't all there is.

0:08:37 > 0:08:38Never said it was.

0:08:40 > 0:08:41All right.

0:08:41 > 0:08:42Fine.

0:08:42 > 0:08:43I'll be back soon.

0:08:43 > 0:08:45Monitor the cubes.

0:08:45 > 0:08:46Call me.

0:08:46 > 0:08:49I'll have the Tardis set to every Earth newsfeed.

0:08:52 > 0:08:55At the end of a week of cubic questions and theories,

0:08:55 > 0:08:56but no answers,

0:08:56 > 0:08:58could this be the greatest stealth marketing campaign

0:08:58 > 0:08:59in business history,

0:08:59 > 0:09:02and if it is, will those behind it

0:09:02 > 0:09:07ever come forward and explain exactly what it's for?

0:09:07 > 0:09:09DANCE MUSIC PLAYS I'm so pleased for you two.

0:09:09 > 0:09:11It's about time you made an honest woman of her.

0:09:11 > 0:09:13Amy...about bridesmaids...

0:09:13 > 0:09:17- Mmm.- You've missed quite a few things the last year or two.

0:09:17 > 0:09:19I'm so totally there. Whatever you need.

0:09:19 > 0:09:20AMBULANCE SIREN

0:09:20 > 0:09:23Everyone here loves you. The nurses, the doctors...

0:09:23 > 0:09:25You're a life saver, mate, literally.

0:09:25 > 0:09:26Ah, well, thanks.

0:09:26 > 0:09:28But there are months when we don't see you.

0:09:28 > 0:09:30And we can't do without you. I want you to go full time.

0:09:30 > 0:09:32Full time?

0:09:32 > 0:09:33Blimey. Er...

0:09:34 > 0:09:37I said yes.

0:09:37 > 0:09:38I committed.

0:09:38 > 0:09:40And I committed to being a bridesmaid, months in advance.

0:09:40 > 0:09:43Like I know I'm going to be here.

0:09:43 > 0:09:44So the Doctor's God knows where,

0:09:44 > 0:09:46the cubes aren't doing anything at all...

0:09:46 > 0:09:48Did real life just get started?

0:09:50 > 0:09:51I like it.

0:09:51 > 0:09:52So do I.

0:10:00 > 0:10:02Brian's log, day 67.

0:10:02 > 0:10:05You, er...you can't call it that. Brian's log?

0:10:06 > 0:10:08Brian's log.

0:10:08 > 0:10:10Day 67.

0:10:10 > 0:10:12Cube was quiet all night.

0:10:12 > 0:10:14Once again.

0:10:14 > 0:10:16Cube was quiet all day.

0:10:16 > 0:10:19As per previously, no movement.

0:10:19 > 0:10:21No change in measurements.

0:10:21 > 0:10:22End of entry.

0:10:24 > 0:10:27You stay up and watch it all the time?

0:10:27 > 0:10:28I film it while I'm asleep.

0:10:28 > 0:10:31When I wake up, I watch the footage on fast forward.

0:10:31 > 0:10:36I e-mail the result to UNIT. My middle name is diligence.

0:10:36 > 0:10:37Wow.

0:10:37 > 0:10:39I can't wait to see day 68(!)

0:10:39 > 0:10:41Don't mock my log.

0:10:41 > 0:10:43I'm doing what the Doctor asked.

0:10:45 > 0:10:48- MUSIC: "Merry Christmas Everybody" by Slade - That's it.

0:10:48 > 0:10:51Er...Mr Ryan, please.

0:10:51 > 0:10:52Again?

0:11:13 > 0:11:15I'm fine. I've been done.

0:11:15 > 0:11:19- What seems to be the matter? - I'm just waiting for a prescription. - Where does it hurt?

0:11:19 > 0:11:21I said I'm fine!

0:11:21 > 0:11:25Will you tell your colleague here that I...

0:11:26 > 0:11:28Stop!

0:11:30 > 0:11:33HE SCREAMS

0:11:36 > 0:11:37PHONE RINGS

0:11:50 > 0:11:51PIANO PLAYS

0:12:01 > 0:12:03Hey! Doctor, it's me. Hello!

0:12:03 > 0:12:06Er...So, the UN classified the cubes as provisionally safe,

0:12:06 > 0:12:07whatever that means,

0:12:07 > 0:12:10and Banksy and Damien Hirst put out statements

0:12:10 > 0:12:11saying the cubes are nothing to do with them.

0:12:11 > 0:12:14And the cubes, well, they're just... here. Still.

0:12:14 > 0:12:15What's it been, nine months?

0:12:15 > 0:12:19People are just taking them for granted. Maybe we'll never know why they came. But anyway...

0:12:19 > 0:12:21I got to Laura's wedding. It was great. She's here tonight.

0:12:21 > 0:12:23Being as it's our wedding anniversary.

0:12:23 > 0:12:26We thought you might have dropped by. I left you messages.

0:12:26 > 0:12:28I know!

0:12:28 > 0:12:30Happy anniversary!

0:12:30 > 0:12:33Come with me. And bring your husband.

0:12:36 > 0:12:38TARDIS LANDS

0:12:40 > 0:12:4326th of June, 1890.

0:12:43 > 0:12:45The recently opened Savoy Hotel.

0:12:45 > 0:12:49Dinner, bed and breakfast for two. Bonjour, bonjour. Merci, Auguste.

0:12:49 > 0:12:51You'll be back before the party's over.

0:12:51 > 0:12:54They won't even notice you went. No complications, I promise.

0:12:56 > 0:12:57Ooh!

0:13:01 > 0:13:03RORY LAUGHS

0:13:03 > 0:13:05Bit of a shock.

0:13:05 > 0:13:07Zygon ship under the Savoy,

0:13:07 > 0:13:10half the staff impostors.

0:13:10 > 0:13:13Still, it's all fixed now, eh?

0:13:14 > 0:13:16Gentlemen, open the doors!

0:13:16 > 0:13:20- I thought we were going home? - You can't miss a good wedding. Under the bed. Under the bed!

0:13:20 > 0:13:23SHOUTING AND BANGING

0:13:23 > 0:13:25- Ssssh!- It wasn't my fault. - It was totally your fault!

0:13:25 > 0:13:27Somebody was talking, and I just said yes.

0:13:27 > 0:13:30To wedding vows! You just married Henry VIII on our anniversary!

0:13:33 > 0:13:35HE SNEEZES

0:13:37 > 0:13:38Sorry...

0:13:38 > 0:13:40CHEERING

0:13:41 > 0:13:43Whooo!

0:13:45 > 0:13:46How long were they away?

0:13:46 > 0:13:49I don't know what you're talking about, Brian.

0:13:49 > 0:13:53Because they're wearing totally different clothes from earlier.

0:13:53 > 0:13:55Seven weeks.

0:13:55 > 0:13:56I got side-tracked.

0:13:56 > 0:13:58A lot.

0:13:59 > 0:14:02What happened to the other people who travel with you?

0:14:04 > 0:14:05Er...

0:14:05 > 0:14:07Some left me.

0:14:08 > 0:14:10Some got left behind.

0:14:11 > 0:14:12And some...

0:14:15 > 0:14:16.Not many, but...

0:14:19 > 0:14:20..some died.

0:14:25 > 0:14:26Not them. Not them, Brian.

0:14:28 > 0:14:29Never them.

0:14:37 > 0:14:38Can I...

0:14:39 > 0:14:42..stay? Here. With you.

0:14:42 > 0:14:44And Rory.

0:14:44 > 0:14:46For a bit. Keep an eye on the cubes.

0:14:47 > 0:14:50However long that takes.

0:14:50 > 0:14:52- I thought it would drive you mad. - No, no, no.

0:14:52 > 0:14:55I mean, I'll be better at it this time.

0:14:55 > 0:14:56I...

0:14:58 > 0:14:59..miss you.

0:15:03 > 0:15:06Brian's log, day 361.

0:15:07 > 0:15:098:50pm.

0:15:09 > 0:15:11No movement.

0:15:14 > 0:15:15HE YAWNS

0:15:15 > 0:15:18And I am cream crackered.

0:15:18 > 0:15:20Hmm...

0:15:30 > 0:15:35I sent you out to sell as many cubes as you could in 24 hours.

0:15:35 > 0:15:38And look at you, you've made a right hash of it, haven't you?

0:15:38 > 0:15:39Well, Craig,

0:15:39 > 0:15:40you're fired.

0:15:40 > 0:15:44If I had a restaurant, this'd be all I'd serve.

0:15:44 > 0:15:47Yeah, right! You running a restaurant(!)

0:15:47 > 0:15:48I've run restaurants.

0:15:48 > 0:15:53- Who do you think invented the Yorkshire pudding? - RORY CHUCKLES

0:15:53 > 0:15:54You didn't?

0:15:54 > 0:15:56Pudding, yet savoury.

0:15:56 > 0:15:57Sound familiar?

0:16:09 > 0:16:10CLEARS HIS THROAT

0:16:23 > 0:16:25HE GASPS

0:16:25 > 0:16:27Ahh!

0:16:27 > 0:16:28Do it again!

0:16:36 > 0:16:38Good job, mister.

0:16:38 > 0:16:41Civilisations saved, surfaces wiped.

0:16:41 > 0:16:43- What more could any woman ask for? - Ha-ha(!)

0:16:43 > 0:16:44I mean it.

0:16:46 > 0:16:48- Where's the Doctor? - On the Wii again.

0:16:48 > 0:16:49I'm going for a bath.

0:17:06 > 0:17:08Oh, yes!

0:17:08 > 0:17:11Second set, Doctor! Ha ha!

0:17:11 > 0:17:14Oh, if Fred Perry could see me now, eh?

0:17:14 > 0:17:16He'd probably ask for his shorts back.

0:17:26 > 0:17:27Ow!

0:17:49 > 0:17:51Third set decider, come on, then.

0:17:54 > 0:17:56Out of the way, dear, I'm trying to...

0:18:01 > 0:18:03Whatever you are.

0:18:03 > 0:18:07This planet, these people, are precious to me.

0:18:07 > 0:18:10And I will defend them to my last breath.

0:18:15 > 0:18:17Is that all you can do?

0:18:17 > 0:18:18Hover?

0:18:18 > 0:18:21I had a metal dog, could do that.

0:18:21 > 0:18:23- CLICKING AND WHIRRING - Ooh!

0:18:23 > 0:18:25Ooh, that's clever, what's that?

0:18:25 > 0:18:26SMASHING

0:18:26 > 0:18:27Ooh!

0:18:43 > 0:18:45Ooh... You really have woken up!

0:18:45 > 0:18:47Doctor?

0:18:47 > 0:18:50Hi. Er...the cube in there, it just opened.

0:18:50 > 0:18:52The cube upstairs just spiked me and took my pulse!

0:18:52 > 0:18:56Ha! Really? Mine fired laser bolts and now it's surfing the net.

0:18:56 > 0:18:59- You're never going to believe this. My cube just moved. - MOBILE PHONE RINGS

0:18:59 > 0:19:01- It rattled. - THE DOCTOR LAUGHS - Hello?

0:19:01 > 0:19:03Rory, mate, I'm desperate for help,

0:19:03 > 0:19:06people are saying they've been attacked by the cubes.

0:19:06 > 0:19:07It's going to be a long night.

0:19:07 > 0:19:09'OK, I'm on my way.'

0:19:13 > 0:19:16- I have to get to work, they need all the help they can get. - Let me come, help out.

0:19:16 > 0:19:18Take your dad to work night, brilliant!

0:19:18 > 0:19:20OK. You going to be all right here?

0:19:20 > 0:19:22- Keep away from the cubes.- All right.

0:19:23 > 0:19:25What are you grinning about?

0:19:25 > 0:19:28We're wanted at the Tower of London.

0:19:32 > 0:19:36Every cube, across the whole world, activated at the same moment.

0:19:36 > 0:19:37Now we're in business!

0:19:37 > 0:19:39You sent me a message to my psychic paper.

0:19:39 > 0:19:41You know what? I'm almost impressed.

0:19:41 > 0:19:44Secret base beneath the Tower. Hope we're not here cos we know too much.

0:19:44 > 0:19:46Yes, I've got officers trained in beheading.

0:19:46 > 0:19:48Also ravens of death.

0:19:48 > 0:19:51I like her.

0:19:54 > 0:19:58We have 50 being monitored, and more coming in all the time.

0:19:58 > 0:20:02I don't know how useful it is. Every cube is behaving individually.

0:20:02 > 0:20:04There's no meaningful pattern.

0:20:04 > 0:20:06Some respond to proximity.

0:20:06 > 0:20:08Some create mood swings.

0:20:09 > 0:20:11- Er, what's this one?- Try the door.

0:20:13 > 0:20:16"THE BIRDIE SONG" PLAYS

0:20:17 > 0:20:18On a loop!

0:20:21 > 0:20:23This is the latest.

0:20:23 > 0:20:24Oh dear...

0:20:24 > 0:20:28Systems breached at the Pentagon, China, every African nation,

0:20:28 > 0:20:29the Middle East...

0:20:29 > 0:20:32I've got governments screaming for explanations

0:20:32 > 0:20:34and no idea what to tell them. I'm lost, Doctor.

0:20:34 > 0:20:35We all are.

0:20:35 > 0:20:37Don't despair, Kate.

0:20:37 > 0:20:38Your dad never did.

0:20:41 > 0:20:43Kate Stewart,

0:20:43 > 0:20:46heading up UNIT, changing the way they work.

0:20:46 > 0:20:48How could you not be?

0:20:48 > 0:20:49Why did you drop Lethbridge?

0:20:49 > 0:20:51I didn't want any favours.

0:20:51 > 0:20:54Though he guided me, even to the end.

0:20:54 > 0:20:56"Science leads," he always told me.

0:20:56 > 0:20:59Said he'd learned that from an old friend.

0:20:59 > 0:21:02We don't let him down. We don't let this planet down.

0:21:05 > 0:21:07They've stopped!

0:21:07 > 0:21:09The cubes. Across the world. They just shut down.

0:21:09 > 0:21:12Active for 47 minutes, and then they just die?

0:21:12 > 0:21:15- Not dead. Dormant, maybe. - Then why shut down?- I don't know.

0:21:17 > 0:21:20I don't know. I need to think. I need some air.

0:21:20 > 0:21:23Who has an underground base?!

0:21:23 > 0:21:25Terrible ventilation!

0:21:29 > 0:21:30The moment they arrived,

0:21:30 > 0:21:33I should have made sure they were collected and burned.

0:21:33 > 0:21:34That is what I should have done.

0:21:34 > 0:21:35How?

0:21:35 > 0:21:37Nobody would have listened.

0:21:39 > 0:21:41You're thinking of stopping, aren't you?

0:21:41 > 0:21:44- You and Rory.- No. I mean, we haven't made a decision...

0:21:44 > 0:21:45But you're considering it.

0:21:45 > 0:21:47Maybe.

0:21:47 > 0:21:48I don't know.

0:21:48 > 0:21:50We don't know.

0:21:50 > 0:21:52Well, our lives have changed so much.

0:21:52 > 0:21:55But there was a time, there were years,

0:21:55 > 0:21:57when I couldn't live without you.

0:21:57 > 0:21:59Um...

0:21:59 > 0:22:02When just the whole everyday thing would drive me crazy.

0:22:02 > 0:22:04But since you dropped us back here,

0:22:04 > 0:22:07since you gave us this house, you know, we've built a life.

0:22:07 > 0:22:09I don't know if I can have both.

0:22:09 > 0:22:11- Why?- Because...

0:22:11 > 0:22:12they pull at each other.

0:22:13 > 0:22:14Because they pull at me,

0:22:14 > 0:22:18- and because the travelling is starting to feel like running away. - That's not what it is.- Oh, come on.

0:22:18 > 0:22:21- Look at you, four days in a lounge and you go crazy. - I'm not running away.

0:22:21 > 0:22:25But this is one corner... of one country, in one continent,

0:22:25 > 0:22:28on one planet that's a corner of a galaxy

0:22:28 > 0:22:31that's a corner of a universe that is forever growing and shrinking

0:22:31 > 0:22:33and creating and destroying,

0:22:33 > 0:22:35and never remaining the same for a single millisecond.

0:22:35 > 0:22:38And there is so much, so much to see, Amy.

0:22:38 > 0:22:42Because it goes so fast.

0:22:44 > 0:22:47I'm not running away from things, I am running to them.

0:22:47 > 0:22:50Before they flare and fade forever.

0:22:53 > 0:22:54And it's all right.

0:22:55 > 0:22:57Our lives won't run the same.

0:22:57 > 0:22:59They can't.

0:23:00 > 0:23:02One day, soon, maybe...

0:23:04 > 0:23:05..you'll stop.

0:23:07 > 0:23:09I've known for a while.

0:23:09 > 0:23:11Then why do you keep coming back for us?

0:23:14 > 0:23:16Because you were the first.

0:23:17 > 0:23:20The first face this face saw.

0:23:20 > 0:23:22And you're seared onto my hearts...

0:23:23 > 0:23:24..Amelia Pond.

0:23:26 > 0:23:27You always will be.

0:23:29 > 0:23:31I'm running to you.

0:23:31 > 0:23:32And Rory.

0:23:32 > 0:23:33Before you...

0:23:35 > 0:23:36..fade from me.

0:23:42 > 0:23:44Don't be nice to me.

0:23:44 > 0:23:45I don't want you to be nice to me.

0:23:45 > 0:23:49Yeah, you do, Pond, and you always get what you want.

0:23:51 > 0:23:52They got what they wanted.

0:23:52 > 0:23:55- What? Who did?- The cubes! That's why they stopped. Come on!

0:23:55 > 0:23:56Kate!

0:23:56 > 0:23:59Before they shut down, they scanned everything,

0:23:59 > 0:24:02from your medical limits to your military response patterns.

0:24:02 > 0:24:06They made a complete assessment of Planet Earth and its inhabitants.

0:24:06 > 0:24:09That's what the surge of activity was.

0:24:09 > 0:24:11Problem with the power?

0:24:11 > 0:24:14Not possible, we've got back-ups.

0:24:14 > 0:24:15Hmm...

0:24:20 > 0:24:22Doctor?

0:24:22 > 0:24:23Look.

0:24:25 > 0:24:28- What?- Why do they all say seven? - Seven...

0:24:28 > 0:24:29Seven, what's important about seven?

0:24:29 > 0:24:32Seven wonders of the world, seven streams of the River Ota,

0:24:32 > 0:24:35seven sides of a cube.

0:24:35 > 0:24:38- A cube has six sides. - Not if you count the inside.

0:24:47 > 0:24:50- It has to be a countdown.- Not in minutes.- Why would it be minutes?

0:24:50 > 0:24:53Kate, we have to get humanity away from those cubes.

0:24:53 > 0:24:55God knows what we'll do if they hit zero.

0:24:55 > 0:24:59Get the information out any way you can - news channels, websites, radio, text messages.

0:24:59 > 0:25:02- People have to know that the cubes are dangerous. - OK, but why's this starting now?

0:25:02 > 0:25:05I mean, the cubes arrived months ago. Why wait this long?

0:25:05 > 0:25:06Because they're clever.

0:25:06 > 0:25:08Allow people enough time to collect them,

0:25:08 > 0:25:10take them into their homes, their lives.

0:25:10 > 0:25:12Humans, the great early adopters.

0:25:12 > 0:25:13And then, wham!

0:25:13 > 0:25:15Profile every inch of Earth's existence.

0:25:15 > 0:25:20- Discover how best to attack us. - Get that information out any way you can, go! Right...

0:25:20 > 0:25:22Every cube was activated, there must be signals,

0:25:22 > 0:25:24energy fluctuations on a colossal scale,

0:25:24 > 0:25:27there must be some trace.

0:25:27 > 0:25:28There can't not be.

0:25:28 > 0:25:30We need to think of all the variables,

0:25:30 > 0:25:33all the possibilities... OK, go, go, go, go, go!

0:25:33 > 0:25:35- TV:- 'This is a national security alert.'

0:25:35 > 0:25:39The Government advises that members of the public dispose of all cubes.

0:25:39 > 0:25:43'If there are cubes inside your house, remove them immediately.'

0:25:45 > 0:25:47Get them out of the building, away from here, as far as you can,

0:25:47 > 0:25:49and get back here before it hits zero.

0:25:52 > 0:25:53Dad.

0:25:53 > 0:25:55Could you go and get me a box of tape for dressings,

0:25:55 > 0:25:58- it's just the cupboard round the corner.- Yes, boss.

0:26:11 > 0:26:13Sorry! Er...'scuse me?

0:26:13 > 0:26:16I'm looking for the supplies cupboard.

0:26:18 > 0:26:20I said, I'm looking for the supplies cupboard.

0:26:31 > 0:26:32Have you seen my dad?

0:26:32 > 0:26:33No, sorry.

0:26:40 > 0:26:41Hey...

0:26:41 > 0:26:43Dad!

0:26:43 > 0:26:44Hey!

0:26:47 > 0:26:49Hey!

0:26:51 > 0:26:52LIFT BELL

0:27:28 > 0:27:31Doctor, please. You don't have to do this.

0:27:31 > 0:27:33She's right. You don't have to be in there.

0:27:33 > 0:27:36- We can do this remotely. - Remotely isn't my style.

0:27:36 > 0:27:37See you after.

0:27:52 > 0:27:54ELECTRONIC PULSING

0:28:29 > 0:28:31Geronimo.

0:28:34 > 0:28:35What's happening?

0:28:42 > 0:28:44Well? What's in there?

0:28:44 > 0:28:47There is nothing in here.

0:28:47 > 0:28:49Um, well, that's good.

0:28:49 > 0:28:51It's not...it's not bombs, it's not aliens...

0:28:51 > 0:28:56Why, why is there nothing inside? Why? It doesn't make any sense.

0:28:57 > 0:29:01Glasses? Is it the same? Is it the same all around the world?

0:29:01 > 0:29:04They're empty. We're safe. Right?

0:29:04 > 0:29:07Ah, no, no, no, we are very far from safe. All along, every action has been deliberate.

0:29:07 > 0:29:10Why draw attention to the cubes if they don't contain anything?

0:29:10 > 0:29:11Doctor, look.

0:29:11 > 0:29:14They're CCTV feeds from across the world.

0:29:14 > 0:29:16They're showing the same.

0:29:16 > 0:29:17People are dying!

0:29:17 > 0:29:20What? They can't be dying. How? How are they dying?

0:29:20 > 0:29:22I want information on how people are being affected.

0:29:22 > 0:29:26The cubes brought people close together. They opened the...

0:29:28 > 0:29:29Aah...

0:29:29 > 0:29:30Doctor, what's the matter?

0:29:30 > 0:29:32Uh...

0:29:32 > 0:29:36- Aah! I don't know! - Hospitals are logging a global surge in heart failures, cardiac arrests.

0:29:36 > 0:29:38That's it. Ah! Ah! Ah! Only one heart!

0:29:38 > 0:29:40Other one's not working!

0:29:40 > 0:29:43- OK! I'm going to get you to the hospital!- Only one heart! Ah! No, no, no, no!

0:29:43 > 0:29:46Just a short circuit, turn around, turn around! Tell me, show me...

0:29:46 > 0:29:48Ten seconds after the cubes opened,

0:29:48 > 0:29:51show me the patterns in their electrical currents.

0:29:51 > 0:29:53See?

0:29:53 > 0:29:56- No!- Yes, the power cut, they sucked the power and then...aah!

0:29:56 > 0:29:58They're signal boxes!

0:29:58 > 0:29:59People leaning in - wham.

0:29:59 > 0:30:02Pure electrical surge out of the cube targeted at the nearest human heart.

0:30:02 > 0:30:05The heart, an organ powered by electrical currents,

0:30:05 > 0:30:06short-circuited.

0:30:06 > 0:30:09How to destroy a human - go for the heart. Ow...

0:30:09 > 0:30:12Crikey Moses!

0:30:12 > 0:30:14Doctor, the scan you set running...

0:30:14 > 0:30:16The transmitter locations, it's found them.

0:30:16 > 0:30:18Oh, look at them all.

0:30:18 > 0:30:19Pulsing, bold as brass.

0:30:19 > 0:30:21Seven of them, all across the world.

0:30:22 > 0:30:26Ow! Seven stations, seven minutes, why's that important?

0:30:26 > 0:30:29Aaaargh! Ow...ow!

0:30:29 > 0:30:33How do you people manage? One heart, it is pitiful!

0:30:33 > 0:30:35A wormhole.

0:30:35 > 0:30:37Bridging two dimensions.

0:30:37 > 0:30:40Seven of them hitched onto this planet, but where's the closest one?

0:30:40 > 0:30:41Glasses, zoom in!

0:30:45 > 0:30:47It's the hospital where Rory works.

0:30:56 > 0:30:59Dad... Dad!

0:31:01 > 0:31:03Just get away from him!

0:31:05 > 0:31:08How many deaths have been recorded?

0:31:08 > 0:31:09We don't know.

0:31:09 > 0:31:12We think it could be a third of the population.

0:31:12 > 0:31:14Kate, I have to find the wormhole,

0:31:14 > 0:31:16but the attacks could still happen.

0:31:16 > 0:31:19Tell the world. Tell them how to deal with this.

0:31:19 > 0:31:22- The world needs your leadership right now.- I'll do my best. - Course you will.

0:31:22 > 0:31:24Good luck.

0:31:24 > 0:31:25Kate...aargh!

0:31:25 > 0:31:29- Aaah!- OK, how long are you going to last with only one heart?

0:31:29 > 0:31:33Not much longer. I need to locate the wormhole portal.

0:31:35 > 0:31:36Hello!

0:31:36 > 0:31:38Hello!

0:31:38 > 0:31:39Uh-huh...

0:31:39 > 0:31:43You are giving off some very strange signals.

0:31:45 > 0:31:46Oh, my God.

0:31:46 > 0:31:50Outlier droid, monitoring everything.

0:31:50 > 0:31:51If I shut her down...

0:31:51 > 0:31:52I can...

0:31:55 > 0:31:57Aah...It's all right, it's all right.

0:31:59 > 0:32:01I can't, Amy! I can't do it! I need both hearts!

0:32:01 > 0:32:03Aah... Aah!

0:32:03 > 0:32:06Aaargh! Uh! Uugh!

0:32:06 > 0:32:07Ohh...

0:32:07 > 0:32:08- Aah...- All right!

0:32:08 > 0:32:10Desperate measures.

0:32:10 > 0:32:14What?! No! No, no, no! That won't work on a Timelord!

0:32:14 > 0:32:16Aaah! No, no...

0:32:16 > 0:32:18- All right, clear!- Aah!

0:32:18 > 0:32:20Whoo!

0:32:20 > 0:32:22Oooh...

0:32:22 > 0:32:24Ooh!

0:32:24 > 0:32:26Welcome back, Lefty!

0:32:26 > 0:32:28Whoa-ho!

0:32:28 > 0:32:29Two hearts! Woo!

0:32:31 > 0:32:32Back in the game!

0:32:32 > 0:32:34Ah!

0:32:34 > 0:32:35Never do that to me again.

0:32:38 > 0:32:39LIFT BELL

0:32:39 > 0:32:42Ah, portal to another dimension in a goods lift.

0:32:44 > 0:32:46The energy signals converge here.

0:32:46 > 0:32:47Does seem a bit cramped, though.

0:33:06 > 0:33:08Through the looking glass, Amelia?

0:33:13 > 0:33:16- Where are we?- We're in orbit.

0:33:16 > 0:33:18- One dimension to the left.- Rory!

0:33:18 > 0:33:20Aah...

0:33:20 > 0:33:23Soborian smelling salts. Outlawed in seven galaxies.

0:33:23 > 0:33:24Whoa!

0:33:24 > 0:33:27Whoa! What kind of a welcome do you call that?!

0:33:27 > 0:33:31- Get them out of here. You too. Now! - What are you going to do? - Absolutely no idea.

0:33:31 > 0:33:33Get him to the portal.

0:33:34 > 0:33:36Whoa!

0:33:36 > 0:33:38So many of them.

0:33:38 > 0:33:43Crawling the planet, seeping into every corner.

0:33:58 > 0:34:00It's not possible.

0:34:02 > 0:34:04I thought the Shakri were a myth.

0:34:05 > 0:34:08A myth to keep the young of Gallifrey in their place.

0:34:08 > 0:34:12The Shakri exist in all of time,

0:34:12 > 0:34:14and none.

0:34:14 > 0:34:18We travel alone and together...

0:34:19 > 0:34:20..the Seven.

0:34:20 > 0:34:22The Shakri craft, connected to Earth,

0:34:22 > 0:34:25through seven portals and seven minutes.

0:34:25 > 0:34:26Ah...but why?

0:34:26 > 0:34:29Serving the word of the Tally.

0:34:31 > 0:34:33Why the cubes?

0:34:33 > 0:34:34Why Earth?

0:34:34 > 0:34:36Not Earth.

0:34:36 > 0:34:37Humanity.

0:34:37 > 0:34:42The Shakri will halt the human plague before the spread.

0:34:42 > 0:34:46Erase humanity before it colonises space.

0:34:50 > 0:34:52We thought the cubes were an invasion.

0:34:53 > 0:34:55The start of war.

0:34:56 > 0:34:59The human contagion only...

0:34:59 > 0:35:03must be eliminated.

0:35:05 > 0:35:06Who are you calling a contagion?

0:35:06 > 0:35:08Oi! Didn't I tell you two to go?

0:35:08 > 0:35:11- You should have learned by now. - Yeah, and what is this Tally anyway?

0:35:11 > 0:35:13Some people call it Judgment Day.

0:35:13 > 0:35:14Or the Reckoning.

0:35:14 > 0:35:16Don't you know?

0:35:16 > 0:35:18I've never wanted to find out.

0:35:18 > 0:35:21Before the Closure, there is the Tally.

0:35:21 > 0:35:24The Shakri serves the Tally.

0:35:24 > 0:35:27The pest-controllers of the universe,

0:35:27 > 0:35:28that's how the tales went, isn't it?

0:35:28 > 0:35:32Wow. That's some seriously weird bedtime story.

0:35:32 > 0:35:35You can talk, wolf in your grandmother's nightdress?

0:35:35 > 0:35:36So.

0:35:36 > 0:35:41Here you are, depositing slug pellets all over the Earth.

0:35:42 > 0:35:45Made attractive so humans will collect them,

0:35:45 > 0:35:48hoping to find something beautiful inside.

0:35:48 > 0:35:50Because that's what they are.

0:35:50 > 0:35:55Not pests or plague, creatures of hope.

0:35:55 > 0:35:59Forever building and reaching. Making mistakes, of course, every life-form does. But...

0:35:59 > 0:36:00But they learn.

0:36:00 > 0:36:03And they strive for greater, and they achieve it.

0:36:06 > 0:36:09You want a tally.

0:36:10 > 0:36:15Put their achievements against their failings, through the whole of time.

0:36:15 > 0:36:18I will back humanity against the Shakri every time.

0:36:18 > 0:36:20HE CHUCKLES

0:36:20 > 0:36:22The Tally...

0:36:22 > 0:36:24must be met.

0:36:25 > 0:36:28The second wave will be released.

0:36:28 > 0:36:30What does that mean?

0:36:30 > 0:36:33It's going to release more cubes to kill more people.

0:36:33 > 0:36:38Tell the Secretary General it's not just hospitals and equipment, it's people.

0:36:38 > 0:36:39Our best hope now is each other.

0:36:39 > 0:36:41The human plague...

0:36:41 > 0:36:44breeding and fighting.

0:36:44 > 0:36:47And when cornered...

0:36:47 > 0:36:51their rage to destroy.

0:36:51 > 0:36:53You're too late, Doctor.

0:36:53 > 0:36:54The Tally...

0:36:56 > 0:36:58..shall be met.

0:36:58 > 0:36:59He's gone.

0:36:59 > 0:37:02He was never really here, just the ship's automated interface.

0:37:02 > 0:37:05Like a talking propaganda poster.

0:37:06 > 0:37:08I can stop the second wave.

0:37:08 > 0:37:11I can disconnect all the Shakri craft from their portals,

0:37:11 > 0:37:12leave them drifting in the darkspace.

0:37:12 > 0:37:14Ah, but all those people who were near the cubes,

0:37:14 > 0:37:16so many of them will have died.

0:37:16 > 0:37:19- I restarted one of your hearts. - You'd need mass defibrillation.

0:37:19 > 0:37:20Of course.

0:37:20 > 0:37:22Ah, beautiful, but, Ponds, Ponds!

0:37:22 > 0:37:24We are going to go one better than that.

0:37:24 > 0:37:27The Shakri used the cubes to turn people's hearts off.

0:37:27 > 0:37:28Bingo!

0:37:28 > 0:37:30We're going to use them to turn them back on again.

0:37:30 > 0:37:33- Will that work? - Well...creatures of hope.

0:37:33 > 0:37:35Has to.

0:37:41 > 0:37:4230 seconds.

0:37:42 > 0:37:45Don't let me down, cubes, you're working for me now.

0:37:49 > 0:37:50Oh dear.

0:37:50 > 0:37:54All these cubes, there's going to be a terrible wave of energy ricocheting around here any second.

0:37:55 > 0:37:57Run.

0:37:57 > 0:37:58I'm going to miss this.

0:38:01 > 0:38:02EXPLOSION

0:38:04 > 0:38:05AMY GASPS

0:38:12 > 0:38:14'Emergency hospitals and field units

0:38:14 > 0:38:16'are working at full capacity around the world,

0:38:16 > 0:38:21'as millions of survivors of cardiac arrests are nursed back to health

0:38:21 > 0:38:24'after an unprecedented night across the globe.'

0:38:27 > 0:38:29You, er...

0:38:29 > 0:38:32You really are as remarkable as Dad said.

0:38:35 > 0:38:36Thank you.

0:38:36 > 0:38:38My! A kiss from a Lethbridge-Stewart.

0:38:38 > 0:38:40- That is new! - THEY LAUGH

0:38:40 > 0:38:42Oh dear, I'm late for dinner.

0:38:43 > 0:38:45- Ah! - SHE LAUGHS

0:38:55 > 0:38:56LAUGHTER

0:38:56 > 0:38:58Hmm...dear me.

0:38:58 > 0:39:00I'd better get going.

0:39:00 > 0:39:03Things to do, worlds to save, swings to...

0:39:04 > 0:39:05..swing on.

0:39:12 > 0:39:13I know.

0:39:13 > 0:39:14You both have lives here.

0:39:14 > 0:39:16Beautiful, messy lives.

0:39:16 > 0:39:19That is what makes you so fabulously human.

0:39:19 > 0:39:21You don't want to give them up.

0:39:22 > 0:39:23I understand.

0:39:23 > 0:39:26Actually, it's you they can't give up, Doctor.

0:39:29 > 0:39:31And I don't think they should.

0:39:31 > 0:39:33Go with him.

0:39:33 > 0:39:36Go save every world you can find.

0:39:36 > 0:39:38Who else has that chance?

0:39:39 > 0:39:41Life will still be here.

0:39:41 > 0:39:42You could come, Brian.

0:39:42 > 0:39:44Somebody's got to water the plants.

0:39:46 > 0:39:49Just bring them back safe.

0:39:49 > 0:39:52'So that was the year of the slow invasion,

0:39:52 > 0:39:55'when the Earth got cubed, and the Doctor came to stay.

0:39:55 > 0:39:57'It was also when we realised something

0:39:57 > 0:39:59'the Shakri never understood -

0:39:59 > 0:40:02'what cubed actually means.

0:40:02 > 0:40:04'The power of three.'

0:40:16 > 0:40:18- You don't believe that statues can move. - DEMONIC GIGGLE

0:40:18 > 0:40:22And you're right, they can't. When you're looking.

0:40:22 > 0:40:26New York is policed by angels. Every time you try to escape, you get zapped back in time.

0:40:26 > 0:40:28The city that never sleeps.

0:40:28 > 0:40:30The angels will come, and...

0:40:30 > 0:40:31I think they're coming for you.

0:40:31 > 0:40:34Placing someone back in time creates time energy,

0:40:34 > 0:40:37and that is what the angels feed on.

0:40:39 > 0:40:42What the hell are you doing?!

0:40:42 > 0:40:44- Any ideas?- Run!
