METALLIC THRUMMING
Gold protocols, everyone! Positions!
Helipad doors to open!
WHIRRING
TARDIS - Vector One.
Doctor on the bridge.
Give me the loving!
DOCTOR LAUGHS
Rose!
Rosie!
Rosa! Rosalinda! Doctor! At last!
It's been so long! How's your mum?
How's your uncle? All good? Yeah.
Ruby, Rose. Rose, Ruby. BOTH: Hi!
Two different shades of red! Doctor, welcome back aboard.
Kate!
Kate.
Ruby, this is Kate. We love Kate.
I knew Kate's dad.
He was the best of men.
That is the Vlinx.
Greetings.
Oh! Nice upgrade!
Hot metal, Doctor.
Colonel Ibrahim - someone has been working out!
I try. I get busy, you know?
Looking good, sir.
Hi. Sorry, I didn't get your name.
Harriet. Head of the archive.
Harriet, nice to meet you.
And I'm Morris Gibbons, UNIT's scientific advisor.
13 years old, accelerated genius,
thanks to a passing asteroid.
13 years old! Nice to meet you, Morris Gibbons.
Nice to meet you. Ruby, this is Morris Gibbons.
Hey! Nice to meet you, Ruby.
OK...
All of you...
..I need your help.
Because something really weird keeps happening.
Everywhere I land, a woman appears. Look.
SONIC BEEPS
So, she is a comms officer
in the planet Pacifico del Rio.
She's someone's mum in Finetime.
She's an ambulance.
She's a portrait in 1813, and the list goes on.
Planet Sloog, she's a Sloogma.
Planet Varsitay, she is a Griffin.
The Fivefold Configuration, she is a Bleet.
So she's everywhere. She must be here.
So I'm hoping that UNIT can find her
and analyse her.
She's always middle-aged, about so high,
60, slim, fair hair...
What?
What? What is it?
And right on cue.
WOMAN: This is when it changes.
This is when the whole world is changed...
..by me.
APPLAUSE
All right, all right.
Thank you. Susan Triad, IT genius.
And today, she's releasing her software worldwide,
free of charge, a gift from S Triad Technology.
Oh, man.
Don't you see?
It's an anagram.
S Triad spells out...
..TARDIS. The name is TARDIS Technology.
Well, obviously. Thank you.
Even I got that.
MORRIS: That is why we've been watching her.
Cos it spells TARDIS, we know that.
But why? RUBY: It's not just that.
Never mind the anagram, look at her name.
Isn't that the point, Doctor?
She's called Susan.
KATE: Is that significant?
Susan is the name of my granddaughter.
DOCTOR WHO THEME
It is my honour to be here today.
KATE: Susan Triad, entrepreneur, genius,
philanthropist. She's even been
the Book At Bedtime on CBeebies.
Three years ago, she launched Triad.
It only rebranded as S Triad Technology
two months ago,
and we were straight onto her.
Well, even without the TARDIS anagram,
evil genius with secret alien software
is top of our list.
God knows we stopped enough of them.
Well, except the obvious.
We'll get him.
But the research with Susan has come to nothing.
The software's clean. No secret alien signals.
Kinda disappointed.
But, hold on, excuse me, Doctor, am I being thick here?
How do you not know your own granddaughter?
I mean, don't you recognise her?
DOCTOR LAUGHS NERVOUSLY
Um...
HE STAMMERS
The truth is...
Time Lords can regenerate their faces like a disguise.
So we look different, but we're still the same.
Right. OK.
But what for?
It can save us if we're dying...
..or sometimes we can hide ourselves away...
..to be able to make a global difference.
..with a new face.
And that is what I intend...
Does that sound mad?
Triad can make a difference.
Just don't go changing yours, OK?
Oh, no. I'm keeping this one for a long, long time.
But is this her actual face, or did she choose it?
Name - anagram, TARDIS.
Probability of a trap - 95%, and rising.
..is the start of a better future,
a prosperous future for everyone!
CROWD: Susan! Susan!
CHANTING CONTINUES
SHE GROANS
That's a bit mad, isn't it?
Chanting my name? I'm not Beyonce.
I don't like it.
Can't we just pipe in a bit of applause?
Oh, it was just a rehearsal.
We hacked the link.
That's Triad HQ, one mile west of us.
She goes live at 15:00 to the whole world.
We're not fooling anyone.
But shareholders like it.
Oh, what do you think, Mel?
Well, it got me cheering.
Oh, that's Mel!
That's my mate, Mel.
Oh, you would love Mel - bonkers.
RUBY LAUGHS
We got her undercover on the media team,
and she's discovered one surprising thing.
Susan Triad turns out to be...
..really nice.
I wish we had a real crowd.
It's hard to find the right pitch.
Thanks, Mel. OK.
Am I going to sound all grandiose?
No. You sound celebratory.
You're giving a gift to the whole planet.
You're allowed to enjoy yourself.
It's going to be brilliant, Susan!
I wanted to cheer.
SUSAN CHUCKLES
Call me Sue, pet, everyone does.
Thank you, Sue. No rest for the wicked.
Two hours till the big one.
Come on, I want to rewrite that middle section.
So, we have Susan Triad.
We also have another mystery woman.
Ruby Sunday!
God, you could've warned me!
That's amazing. You look gorgeous.
Oh, that's my 16th.
OK, so Ruby is not the mystery woman,
but your mother is.
Ruby is a foundling and was left on Ruby Road.
We've got your history,
after that incursion on December 24th,
filed under "goblins".
Harriet?
You were quite famous...
..for a day or two.
A Christmas baby!
Oh, yeah. We tried to find my mum, but...
Actually, we even tried Davina McCall,
but we got nothing. Ah, I love Davina!
I love Davina!
KATE: Is she nice? RUBY: Oh, she's absolutely lovely.
That's one good thing.
LAUGHTER
She's so cool.
Sorry, sorry, you've got a woman that you keep seeing
and a woman that you've never seen.
Is it...the same woman?
KATE: Susan Triad would've been 40, 42.
And women who abandon their children
tend to be teenagers or early twenties, statistically.
Sorry, but can I say the obvious?
You've got a time machine.
Doctor, can't you just go back and take a look?
No! No, I can't.
I've been to Ruby Road once,
and I can't cross over my own history.
The one night that we need to see,
and I have time-locked myself out of it.
That's not like you. You love to break the rules.
Yeah, but...
..it snows.
It snows?
Oh, it really snows.
It was snowing the night that Ruby was born.
And it keeps snowing all around her,
actual snow,
which means that that night is so raw and so open,
the last thing that I should do
is take a time machine back there.
Excuse me, it all sounds a bit Dickensian,
with the baby and the church and the snow,
but it was 2004.
There was CCTV footage.
The camera was positioned in a storage yard 66m away.
Does it show anything? Does the tape still exist?
Oh, no, no, we've got it. Yeah, my gran asked for it
cos it's mine and it's all I've got.
But you can't see anything.
It's black and white and snow at midnight.
Yeah, yeah, but look at our technology.
We can sharpen the image.
Oh, my God.
Do you think you can clean it up? I can see my mother?
Yeah!
Ah! OK. Well, um, it's at home, the VHS.
My mum's got it. She's got it in a box.
I suggest we take Miss Sunday home.
At once, ma'am. Ah!
This way. Oh. Thank you.
ROSE: I'm coming too. Oh!
It's like we're on a mission.
I know! They never give me proper work.
They had me investigating shoplifting in Catford.
DOOR CLOSES
WHIRRING
MAN: I want Triad to be in every home,
at the heart of every family, 365 days a year.
I took out that bit about coals to Newcastle -
doesn't really work in China.
Hi. Don't want to interrupt. I got those figures from Hanya.
She is so happy.
I have never seen anyone smile so much.
THEY LAUGH
You OK? All good?
Ah, just terrified, that's all.
You'll be amazing.
I don't know how you think of all this stuff.
SUSAN CHUCKLES
Good mum and dad, that's how.
I mean, we didn't have much.
He was a postman. She was a dinner lady.
But they told me, "You can do anything."
And look at me now.
90 minutes' time, I address the United Nations.
SUSAN LAUGHS
Best of luck, Sue.
DEVICE BEEPS
Here it is, safe and sound.
That's your story, darling.
The legend of Ruby Sunday.
But they can analyse it.
Maybe we can see my birth mother.
If we can see her face just once...
They've got amazing technology.
I mean, they can do...anything.
You work for UNIT?
My mother's part of it.
Is she?!
Well, if your mother's part of it...
..then, Ruby,
you can tell her your mother is too!
Now, go and get Mrs Flood.
What for? Go and get her!
Vamoose!
Cos I'm coming with you to the Nitwit Tower!
STATIC INTERFERENCE
RADIO: There's a warning for thunderstorms across...
Anything I can do to help.
It's nice for me to get out.
I'm always hiding myself away!
I just need you to look after Mum.
It's only going to be for a couple of hours.
Oh, leave her to me.
I nursed my old mum through diabetes
and a hip operation.
She died of an ulcer.
But that was when I wasn't looking.
Aren't you a beauty?
Thank you.
You too, Ruby.
Still hoping for that growth spurt?
Oh...
Mum, I'm leaving you with Mrs Flood.
You've got your pills.
Two yellow tablets at five o'clock.
If you're chasing after that Doctor man,
I warnin' you, him is trouble!
Everything is trouble.
And I've decided
it's about time I cause trouble for myself.
Thank you, Mrs F.
Come on, girls, let's find that woman.
DOOR CLOSES
I would love a cup of tea.
Would you, sweetheart?
Well, we'd all like a lot of things...
..that aren't going to happen.
What that supposed to mean?
I'd be very careful, Mrs Sunday.
There's a storm coming in.
THUNDER RUMBLES
He waits no more.
THUNDER ROLLS
WIND HOWLS
THUNDER RUMBLES
My father, he'd tell me stories about you when I was a kid.
KATE CHUCKLES
He'd sit there in the firelight,
telling tales of the Doctor,
his eyes...shining.
But he never, ever mentioned a granddaughter.
I was a different Doctor back then, Kate.
Great enigma.
Still can't shake it off. I'm trying.
If you've got a granddaughter, that means you've got kids.
Well, not quite.
Not yet.
But, you mean...
..you can have a granddaughter before a daughter?
Life of a Time Lord.
But...
OK, the grandchild exists and you've got the TARDIS,
but you've never gone back to see her.
Why not?
You've seen my life.
I bring disaster, Kate.
Disaster.
What if I go back and ruin her?
For what it's worth, I think you bring joy.
Hmm?
Do you think Susan Triad is her?
Do you want it to be?
Doctor, what if you just said hello
to her face?
Look her in the eye. Would you recognise her?
Yes.
Yes, but S Triad Technology, the anagram...
Like Morris said, probability of a trap - 95%.
96.
Ninety...
DOCTOR LAUGHS
You see?
I can't.
Come here. Come on.
WOMAN: I'll have some of that.
BOTH LAUGH
Oh, yes! Hello, trouble.
Come on, you two.
In 65 minutes,
it's 15:00 UK time,
10am in the USA.
That's when Susan Triad addresses the United Nations.
And I've got my daily DNA sample
which says that Susan Triad is...
BEEPING
Susan Triad.
Human - confirmed.
But we know that already, don't we?
Mm.
Kate's got a chrysalis theory.
Just because Susan Triad is nice
doesn't mean she can't change.
A caterpillar doesn't know it's a butterfly.
And a phoenix is just a bird until it burns.
RUBY: I got it! I got it, I got it, got it.
RUBY GIGGLES
Oh! But they've stuck Mum in a room downstairs.
They won't let her in.
KATE: Ruby, this is a gold security establishment.
Even the Prime Minister can't walk into UNIT.
Especially the Prime Minister.
Yeah, but it's Carla,
come on.
SONIC WHIRS
COMPUTER: Carla Sunday. Access granted.
Right. Fine. Thanks.
Yeah. And this...
This is the key!
Oh, we are not just going to analyse this...
Kate, do you have a time window?
You expressly told us in the 1970s,
UNIT was absolutely forbidden
to experiment with any form of time technology.
Do you have a time window?
Ten floors down.
COMPUTER: Time window open.
Membrane steady at 5,000 chronons
in N-dimensional time
and holding.
Relative temporal distortion standing at -0.1 seconds.
DOCTOR LAUGHS
Oh, this is...
This is rough.
Wow! You have lashed this together.
Whoo!
DOCTOR LAUGHS
Oh, wow. Ouch! Ouch, Kate.
Doctor, this is Colonel Winston Chidozie,
head of Time Window Security.
An honour to work with you, sir.
I've heard so much about you.
Hey, is that a Manchester accent?
Proud to say, ma'am - Cheetham Hill.
Oh, I'm Ruby, I'm from Tameside.
Good to meet you, ma'am.
So, so, this room charges up
using the entire nuclear output of Europe
and projects an image from the past,
like 3D history.
We get glimpses, little fleeting moments.
We saw the signing
of the Declaration Of Independence,
but all I could tell you is the colour of the quill,
which was white.
We've got extra power.
We can feed the time window
using massive information from the VHS -
actual positions of the snowflakes.
Morris Gibbons?
Yes, Doc?
Get this VHS wired up to that system
because we are going to recreate
Christmas Eve 2004.
Come on!
TAPE WHIRS
There it is - your legend.
Me and my mum watch it every Christmas Eve,
like a little sort of ritual,
but you can't see anything.
The CCTV wasn't even pointing at the church.
But the information exists.
We can see that snowflakes fell on a south-east axis,
so we can model that onto the church
and predict backwards. Huh!
Oh, my God, Mum?
RUBY LAUGHS
This place is insane, Ruby!
How much did it all cost?
Hey, all good? Right, this might get noisy.
Direct all comms traffic through me.
Now stay back, behind the glass, everyone -
keep the chamber clear.
We are going to rock through time...
..and I don't want to lose anyone.
Ruby?
Look after her.
Don't worry, she's safe.
I lost my family to the most terrible things.
But the Doctor helped me.
I swear. Come on.
Colonel Chidozie, on guard.
CHIDOZIE: Ma'am. Close the time window.
COMPUTER: Time window closing.
Time membrane sealed.
Security at gold alert.
Now, tell me when you were born.
December 24th, 2004.
You were born on Christmas Eve.
I was abandoned.
My mother must have been so alone.
She left me at the church on Ruby Road.
And what else?
It was snowing.
It's snow! That's impossible.
I'll tell you what's impossible...
..we haven't turned it on yet!
Now, I warn you...
..that time has tides and hollows
and secrets.
And this fixed point on Christmas Eve
is the wildest I have ever seen.
YELLS EXCITEDLY: Now, turn on your machine!
COMPUTER: Warning - chronon instability.
Warning - chronon instability.
December the 24th, bring it back!
Bring it back!
Bring it ba-a-a-a-ck!
METALLIC THUD
RUBY GIGGLES NERVOUSLY
RUBY CHUCKLES
DOCTOR LAUGHS
It's Ruby Road. In 2004.
We did it!
We brought it back!
POWER FLUCTUATES
Oh, Morris, keep it steady.
Yeah...yeah, I-I'm trying.
This thing is running way beyond maximum.
Should we stop?
No way.
CAROLS IN DISTANCE
And listen. Listen.
We've got sound and vision.
I've never seen the window this strong.
We have given it the greatest power of all -
memory. Time is remembered.
Memory is time.
CARLA: But what happened? What happened on that night?
The woman, she went to the church.
She left Ruby in the doorway.
And then she walked away...
..towards us.
There she is.
Oh, my God.
Wh-wh-why can't we see her properly?
That is...is...
..more than just a glitch.
It's like she's shadowed.
Mum? You can't move.
She's my mum. Can she see us?
I don't think she can, but you can't move. You can't.
You've got to keep everything exactly as it was.
But she's going to walk by. Look at her face. Look.
Look, look, look - here she comes.
No! Ruby, please. Please. Morris!
Morris, what is happening? COMPUTER: Chronon surge.
Power vent's flooding like crazy!
I want to see her! ROSE: Ruby, don't move.
We need to keep the image fixed.
Did anyone see her face?
No, nothing. Nothing, sorry.
Colonel Chidozie?
Can't make her out.
Sorry, Doctor.
Why?
What is so different about her?
BOOM
METALLIC THRUMMING
I am arriving.
That's me.
The original me,
coming back in time in 2004,
because...goblins.
But I had to go back to the church,
to save little baby Ruby.
That TARDIS is almost solid.
If time is memory and memory is time,
then what is the memory of a time machine?
Oh, no, look, no-no, look. She's still there.
RUBY GASPS
Your mother is still there.
Why has she stopped?
What is she doing? Can we see? Why did she stop?
Did she see me fighting?
Anyone? Can you see?
Doctor... I think she's crying.
She's given away her child.
She's crying her heart out.
I took her in, darling.
And she's safe!
And she's wonderful.
I wish I could tell her I made it.
Mum, you should see what I've done.
I-I travelled the universe!
And I, uh, I came back, running.
And that's when I saw the woman.
My memory of this keeps changing.
Time keeps changing.
She's pointing at you.
Can she see you? Did my mother see you?
I-I don't know why she was pointing at me.
CHIDOZIE: There's nothing behind you, Doctor.
Anything? Anyone?
Does she know who you are?
Morris, can-can you magnify the woman?
BEEPING
My hands are on fire here!
ALARM BLARES
She's pointing at you,
but she's also pointing north-west.
Is there anything there?
Colonel Chidozie, you will return to your position.
Just see if there's anything there.
Doctor, you said not to move.
I know! I know.
But just...just look.
CHIDOZIE: Proceeding forward, ma'am.
There's nothing.
There's just the lamppost and...
All I've got is trees and stuff.
Houses in the distance. Nothing.
Maybe if I try a different angle...
KATE: Colonel, be careful.
No. Sorry.
No.
DOCTOR GROANS
Not even a flicker.
I've got nothing, Doctor.
Why was she pointing at me?
Doctor!
She's walking away!
No, don't... Ruby.
No, Mum, please don't, please don't...
RUBY SOBS
And then I just...turned away.
METALLIC THRUMMING
I can't see her.
She's gone.
RUBY SOBS
MORRIS: Doctor, can I ask?
Er, Morris, a second, please?
No, I'm sorry, I've got to ask.
What...is...that?
DEEP GROWL
KATE: Doctor...
Doctor, what is that thing?
Where's Colonel Chidozie? At arms!
Don't go into the window! No, no!
Don't go into the window! Stay where you are!
Chidozie, where are you? Are you in there?
RUMBLING
Winston, are you...
..in that sh-shape?
Colonel Chidozie, you will report at once.
Can you hear me?
Doctor, when is that thing?
Is it now, or is it 2004?
I don't know. What is it, though?
Has it come for my mother? I don't know.
Is it us? Has it come for us? I don't know.
KATE: Colonel Chidozie, please report.
Morris, can you get any readings?
COMPUTER: Warning - chronon escalation!
It's off the scale. That thing is hot. It's cold.
It's radioactive. It's dead.
It's everything. I don't know!
CARLA: I know its name.
It's the Beast!
DEEP RUMBLING
Winston?
Winston, where are you? Are you still in this room?
Colonel Chidozie, please report!
Where are you, Cheetham Hill?
DEEP GROWL
EERIE WHISPER: Cheetham Hill...
That...that's him!
He's alive.
Hey, soldier, I'm still here. Tameside girl.
We're trying to see...
Are you inside that thing?
ECHOING: No!
Then, where are you?
I am lost.
OK, but we can find you.
We can help.
Just look around and tell us,
where are you?
I am in Hell.
KATE: Colonel, I need to know,
can you tell us what's happening?
It's seen me.
It's seen right into my soul.
And it's so old...
What is it?
Waiting... What is?
It's been waiting for so long.
BANG
MORRIS GASPS
Get down!
WINDOW POWERS DOWN
DOCTOR PANTS
Open the doors.
DOORS OPEN
Keep back! Everyone, keep back!
KATE: It looks like he's been dead for a hundred years.
I'm so sorry.
This is the Commander-in-Chief to the Executive Deletion Team.
We have an officer down.
Colonel Winston Lemuel Chidozie, Floor 45.
I want Psych Ops informed.
I want UNIT forensics.
I want full Option 10 and 11 schematics immediately.
Yes, ma'am.
Mel...
Take me to Susan Triad.
She's due to make the speech at three o'clock.
We've got ten minutes.
I'm with the media team. Thanks.
I sent him forward.
That thing killed him.
Not you.
What was it?!
And Ruby's mother - why was she pointing at me?
Finished?
Now, stop grizzling...
..and fix it.
Cos if Susan is your granddaughter,
then she might be the key to this.
Now, come on.
Doctor, we've isolated an image.
Whatever that thing was,
it burnt itself out of the time window,
but it survived on the VHS.
RUBY: No, it wasn't there before. I swear to you,
every time I've watched that tape, it wasn't there.
The recording has changed.
Kate, analyse it.
Break it down. Every single pixel.
We need to know what that thing is.
I need to see.
I've got image control.
All desks linked to mine.
Coordinating...now.
What do you think?
It's a crude videotape of a snowstorm,
19 years old,
kept under the bed in a shoe box.
I was born for this!
Susan, could I introduce my friend?
Not right now. We're about to go on.
Hello. Hi, there. Ah.
I'm the Doctor. Ah, nice to meet you, pet.
Doctor who? Just...just the Doctor.
Hello. Ah. Well, top marks for enigmatic.
Yeah!
Yeah.
Have we met before?
Well, I don't think so. Are you sure?
Well, if you don't mind my saying,
I'd remember a handsome chap like you.
It's just I thought...
..you were...
We're on in 60 seconds.
Susan, I need to talk to you, just for a couple of minutes.
If you could tell your friend...
Look, a lot of people want my time.
All I want is a bit of shuteye.
God knows I don't get enough sleep.
Why not?
I...get a lot of dreams.
What do you dream about?
I'm sorry, but we're going to be late. Susan?
Saleed, these two - no further.
Dreams about what?
What sorts of dreams?
Susan, what do you dream about?
Su... Do you dream about a girl called Lindy?
Do you dream about a place called Pacifico del Rio?
Do you dream...
..about being an ambulance?
Sorry, I've really got to go.
Being an ambulance? She remembered that.
She doesn't know how,
but she remembered that.
BEEPING
Increase search parameters.
Morris, try running it backwards.
Let's see what happens
if we reverse time and rewind the VHS.
TAPE WHIRS
What the hell? Oh, my God.
Doctor, are you there?
Uh-huh.
We found something
at the heart of that shape. What is it?
It's the TARDIS.
No. But the TARDIS was there, on Ruby Road, we know that.
It's there for a second time,
which you said couldn't happen,
but this time it's 20m to the north,
and that thing is wrapped around it.
But how?
I don't know.
TARDIS GROANS EERILY
DISTORTED THRUMMING
Doctor, what was that?
It's made that noise before.
Probability of a trap - 99% and rising,
except...
..the trap is here!
I hate to say this,
but the shape exists around the TARDIS
on the VHS, but what if it exists
around the TARDIS now...
..and we just can't see it?
Kate, clear the area.
Evacuate the Ops Room. Leave the TARDIS alone.
DOCTOR EXCLAIMS
OK. I've got to stay here.
I think Susan Triad is a part of it.
UPBEAT POP MUSIC PLAYS APPLAUSE
Cue laughter.
LAUGHTER
On my orders,
all non-essential staff will clear the room right now.
OFFICER: All non-essential staff - out!
Ruby! Ruby.
I'm sorry, you're part of this. I need you to stay,
but your mother will be taken home.
I'm staying with her! Get her out.
Mum, what do you want me to do?
Come home with me. Then, you're not helping.
Which means I love you, thank you, and goodbye.
This way, ma'am.
The Vlinx, scan the TARDIS.
Commence maximum scan.
WHIRRING
Analysis confirms life form.
Well, we can't see it,
but it registers on the quantum search.
CHANTING: Susan! Susan!
All right, all right.
Thank you. Thank you.
We've had our fun.
Especially you - whoo!
LAUGHTER
But it's my honour
to be here today.
And my duty.
EERIE THRUMMING
Because we know what we've done.
The tech billionaires.
We've taken your money...
EERIE THRUMMING
..while our technology
spreads lies and fraud
and riots.
But no more!
It ends today.
Doctor, to confirm,
the TARDIS is...
It's surrounded.
It's invisible, but it's a living thing.
..of the human race. To rebuild.
And I think...
EERIE VOICE: I think we can succeed. I mean, I hope...
Doctor, we need you here right now.
Yes, I know, but... Doctor.
I know. Wait, wait, wait.
Kate, get Ruby to the time window. W-What for?
You do not question.
You move! Sullivan, take her and run.
ROSE: Just go. ECHOING: I hope...
I hope...I dare to hope.
STATIC INTERFERENCE
Uh...
I said to...
..to that man.
Who was he?
But I keep having bad dreams.
Doctor, the scan says this life form is woven
into the fabric of the TARDIS itself.
All my ideas come to me in dreams. Like it's part of it.
At arms, with me.
My name is Kate Lethbridge-Stewart,
Commander-in-Chief
of the Unified Intelligence Taskforce,
and I demand that you show yourself.
He has hidden in the howling void.
He has hidden within the tempest.
What?
He has braved the storm and the darkness
and the pain.
And he whispered to the vessel.
Who has?
What do you mean? All this time, he whispered
and delighted and seduced,
and the vessel did obey,
for none should be more mighty and none should be more wise
than the King himself.
Harriet, what are you doing?
And the Lord of Time was blind and vain,
and knew nothing.
What is happening in there? It's Harriet. It's like...
She's possessed.
Kate, who is she?
Harriet - you met her.
Yeah, I know, I know, but what is her full name?
Harriet. Harriet Arbinger.
Harbinger.
"The gods bring harbingers to warn us of their coming."
But which god?
I dream of...
I dream of skin.
I dream of metal eyes.
SUSAN GASPS
I don't know what he wanted me to do.
Why am I here?
COMPUTER: Time window closing.
They said this thing was broken.
It's starting to remember.
CHURCH BELL CHIMES
It's going back to Christmas Eve.
I dream of worlds with orange skies.
IBRAHIM: You will step away from your desk.
KATE: Colonel, back away. Stand with me.
I'm not losing another officer.
But in every dream, I'm there.
Doctor, we know the TARDIS...
Doctor! ..is indestructible.
There's something wrong. If it's turned hostile,
how do we fight it? EMOTIONALLY: But who am I?
There is the Toymaker, the god of games.
There is Trickster, the god of traps.
There is Maestro, the god of music.
SUSAN WAILS
There is Reprobate,
the god of spite.
DOCTOR: No, no, no! There is the Mara,
the god of beasts. Get away from her!
Don't touch her!
And the threefold deity
of malice and mischief and misery.
Warning - manifestation.
There are gods of skin and shame and secrets.
There is Incensor...
MEL: Doctor, she needs you! HARRIET: ..the god of disaster.
And her children, called Doubt and Dread.
IN UNISON WITH GRUFF VOICE: And standing on high
is the mother and father
and other of them all.
Whatever it is...
..here it comes
For the god of all gods has returned.
And his names are many.
His name has been Set.
And Seth.
And Sithifer.
And his one true name for evermore is...
..Sutekh!
It was the wrong anagram.
WHOOSHING
SUTEKH GROWLS
Probable trap - 100%.
Mel, get away from her.
Both of you. Don't let her touch you.
Bailey, get back. Leave her alone.
You said you were a doctor.
Why don't you try to help...?
Sutekh is the god of death,
and by his hand, all creation shall fall
into dust and ashes and ruin!
SUSAN GROWLS
SUTEKH LAUGHS
BONES CREAK
DEEP VOICE: I bring Sutekh's gift of death
to all humanity.
I am Sutekh, the god of death.
I am the night.
I am the terror.
I am the loss.
Mum?
And all life will perish at my hand!
SUTEKH LAUGHS
Did you think I was family, Doctor?
IN UNISON: I bring Sutekh's gift...
..of death...
..for you
and for all your tiny, vile,
incessant universe!
