Original subtitles

I'm going to die.

But I was told.

He will knock four times.

What is it?

What's inside your head?

It's real!

The darkness heralds only one thing.

The end of time is so.

She ever remembers me, her mind will burn and she will die.

What have you done, you monster?

And so it came to pass, on Christmas Day, that the human race did cease to

exist.

This day was the day upon which the whole of creation would change forever.

This was the day the Time Lords returned.

What news of the doctor?

Disappeared, my lord president.

But we know his intention.

He still possesses the moment, and he'll use it to destroy Daleks and Time Lords

alike. The visionary confirms it. Ending, burning, falling, all of it

falling. The black and pitch and screaming fire, so burning.

All of her prophecies say the same.

That this is the last day of the Time War.

That Gallifrey falls.

That we die today.

Ending. Ending. Ending.

Ending.

Perhaps it's time.

This is only the furthest edge of the Time War.

But at its heart, millions die every second. Lost in bloodlust and

insanity.

With time itself.

Resurrecting them to find new ways of dying over and over again.

A travesty of life.

Isn't it better to end it at last? Thank you for your opinion.

I will not die!

Do you hear me?

A billion years of Time Lord history riding on our back.

Let this perish.

I will not.

There is... There is one part

of the prophecy, my lord.

Forgive me.

I'm sorry.

It's rather difficult to decipher, but...

It talks of two survivors beyond the final day.

Two children of Gallifrey.

Does it name them?

It foresees them locked in their final confrontation.

The enmity of ages, which would suggest... The Doctor!

And the Master.

One word keeps being repeated, my lord. One constant word.

Earth. Earth.

Planet Earth.

Indigenous species.

The human race.

Maybe that's where the answer lies.

Our salvation on Earth.

Now then, I've got a plan.

Is everybody ready?

6,727,949,338 versions of us awaiting

orders. This is Washington.

As President of the United States, I can transfer all the United Nations

protocols to you immediately, putting you in charge of all the Earth's

defenses.

Unigate Q, Geneva reporting.

All under your command, sir.

And this is the Central Military Commission here in Beijing, sir. With

over 2.5 million soldiers, sir.

Present arms.

Enough soldiers and weapons to turn this planet into a warship.

Nothing to say, Doctor?

What's that? Pardon?

Sorry? You let him go, you swine. Oh, your dad's still kicking up a fuss.

Yeah, well, I'd be proud if I was.

Hush now.

Listen to your master.

That's a mobile.

Yeah, it's mine. Let me turn it off. No, no, no, no, no. I don't think you

understand. Everybody on this planet... Is me. And I'm not phoning you, so who

the hell is that? It's nobody. I tell you, it's nothing. It's probably one of

them ringback calls. Ooh, and look at this.

Good man.

Donna. Who's Donna? She's no one. Just leave it.

Gramps, don't hang up. You've got to help me.

I ran out.

Everyone was changing.

Who is she?

Why didn't she change? Gramps. Well, it was his thing. The doctor did... He did

it to her. The Metacrisis. He loves playing with Earth girls.

Are you there? Find her.

Trace the call.

Trace the call.

Are you still there?

Can you hear me?

Say goodbye to the freak, Grandad.

Donna, get out of there!

Just get out of there! I'm telling you, run! He's on Wessex Lane, Chiswick. Open

the phone lines.

Everyone on Wessex Lane, red alert. What do I do? Run, sweetheart. That's all.

Run for your life.

There's more of them.

What's happening?

Are you still there?

They're everywhere.

Run up. Oh, I'm starving.

Look, I'm telling you to run, son.

I'm still hungry.

Just run, sweetheart.

Just run.

It's not just them.

Those things again.

Those creatures.

Why can't I see a giant wasp?

Don't think about that, Donna, my love. Don't. It hurts.

My head. It keeps getting hotter and hotter and hotter and hotter and hotter.

And what did I...

Donna? What was that?

Donna?

Donna, are you there?

Donna!

Donna!

Donna!

That's better. Hello.

But really, do you think I'd leave my best friend without a defence mechanism?

Doctor, what happened?

She's all right. She's fine. I promise.

She'll just sleep.

Tell me.

Where's your TARDIS?

You could be so wonderful.

Where is it?

You're a genius.

You're stone-cold brilliant. You are. I swear, you really are.

But you could be so much more.

You could be beautiful.

With a mind like that, we could travel the stars. It would be my honor.

Because you don't need to own the universe. Just see it.

I have the privilege of seeing the whole of time and space.

That's ownership enough.

Would it stop then?

Noise in my head.

I can help.

Don't know what I'd be without that noise.

What does he mean? What noise?

It began on Gallifrey.

As children.

Not that he'd call it childhood.

More a life of duty.

Eight years old.

I was taken for initiation to stare into the untempered schism.

What does that mean? It's a gap in the fabric of reality.

You can see into the time vortex itself.

And it hurts.

You took me there.

The untempered schism.

That's when it began.

History, he says.

The master heard a rhythm.

A torment that stayed with him for the rest of his life. A drumbeat.

A warrior's march. A symptom of insanity, my lord.

A rhythm of four.

The heartbeat of a Time Lord.

Listen to it.

Listen. And let's find it.

You and me.

Except... Oh.

Oh, wait a minute.

Oh, yes.

Oh, that's good. What?

What is a noise?

Exists within my head. And now within six billion heads. Everyone on earth can

hear it. Imagine.

Oh.

Oh, yes.

The gate wasn't enough.

You're still dying.

This body was born out of death. All it can do is die.

But what did you say to me?

Back in the wasteland.

You said the end of time. I said something is returning.

I was shown a prophecy.

That's why I need your help. What if I'm part of it?

Don't you see?

The drumbeat is calling from so far away. From the end of time itself.

And now it's been amplified six billion times.

Triangulate all those signals. I could find its source.

That's what your prophecy was.

Me?

Earth?

Where's the TARDIS? Now, just stop.

Just think.

Kill him.

I need that technology, Doctor.

Tell me where it is or the old man is dead.

Don't tell him. I'll kill him right now!

Actually, the most impressive thing about you is that after all this time,

you're still bone-dead stupid.

Take aim.

You've got six billion pairs of eyes, but you still can't see the obvious, can

you? Like what?

That guard is one inch too tall.

Oh, my God, I hit him.

I've never hit anyone in my life.

We need to get out of here fast.

God bless the cactuses. That's cacti.

That's racist.

So this prophecy of yours, Doctor, where did it come from?

Doctor? Come on. We've got to get out. There's too many buckles and straps.

Just wheeling.

No, no, no. Get me out. No.

Don't.

You think so?

No, no, no, don't!

Don't get me out of this thing!

Don't say thanks, will you? He's not going to let us go.

Just hurry up and get me out!

Oh, my goodness me.

We're in space!

Come on!

Fight!

He's still up there.

Target practice.

Where's your flight deck?

But we're safe.

We're 100,000 miles above the Earth. And he's got every single missile on the

planet. Ready to fire.

Good point.

But we're in space.

everything you've got to the skies. Find me that ship and prime the missiles.

Open up the radar. Maximum scan.

Yes, sir.

We've got to close it down.

Don't challenge me. We're going home.

We're just a salvage team. Local politics have got nothing to do with us.

Not unless it's a carnival. The sooner we get back to Mimbochi space, the

better. We're not leaving.

Anything. Sorry, sir. Nothing.

Lost him. What about teleport coordinates?

I need that information.

He's cut the link, sir. No trace. All dead.

Still.

Open fire!

No way back now.

He's stranded.

No sign of any missiles.

No sign of anything.

You've wrecked the place!

The engines are burnt out. All we've got is auxiliary lighting. Everything else

is kaput. We can't move.

We're stuck in orbit.

Thanks to you.

You idiot!

Yeah, I know you, though. I bet you've got a plan, haven't you? Eh?

Come on.

You've always got a trick up your sleeve.

Nice little bit of the old Dr. Flim Flam sort of thing.

Oh, blimey.

Night has fallen Are we ready every single one of us is prepared

Then we listen all of us across the world

Just listen

Find the signal.

There.

The sound is tangible.

Someone could only have designed this.

And who?

The signal has been sent.

A simple task of four beats transmitted back through time and implanted in the

master's mind as a child.

Then we have a link to where the master is right now.

But we're still trapped inside the time lock, sir.

The link is nothing more than a thought, an idea.

Then we need something to make the contact physical.

Something so simple. So small and shining.

Shining bright and cold, the tiny, tiny star falling, falling, burning, burning,

burning. Small enough to follow the link.

And if this were on Earth...

So, it's coming from above.

It's coming from the sky!

There!

Find it.

Get out there and find it!

It's a diamond, sir.

Oh.

The most impossible diamond.

You won't believe this.

Thank you.

Doctor?

I think I'm lost.

And yet you are found.

Events are closing.

The day is almost upon us.

But tell me, old soldier, did you take arms?

I brought this, but what am I supposed to do?

This is the Doctor's final battle.

The end of his life.

He must stand at arms.

Or lose himself and all this world.

To the end of time.

But he never carries guns.

He doesn't do... Who are you?

I was lost.

So very long ago.

Aye, aye.

Got this old tub mended?

Just trying to fix the heating.

I've always dreamt of a view like that.

I'm an astronaut.

It's dawn over England, look.

Brand new day.

My wife's buried down there.

I might never visit her again now.

Do you think he changed them?

In their graves?

I'm sorry.

No, not your fault.

Isn't it?

Oh, 1948.

I was over there.

End of the mandate in Palestine.

Private Mott.

Skinny little idiot I was.

Stood on this rooftop in the middle of a skirmish.

Like a blizzard, all them bullets in the air.

The world gone mad.

Yeah, you don't want to listen to an old man's tales, do you?

I'm older than you.

Get away.

I'm 906.

What, really, though?

Yeah.

We must look like insects to you.

I think you look like giants.

Listen, I want you to have this. I've kept it all this time, and I

thought... No.

No, but if you take it, you could... No.

You had that gun in the mansion.

You could have shot the master there and then.

Too scared, I suppose.

I'd be proud.

Of what?

If you were my dad.

Come on, don't start.

Well, you said you were told...

He will knock four times and then you die.

Well, that's him, isn't it?

The master.

That noise in his head.

The master is going to kill you.

Yeah.

Then kill him first.

And that's how the master started.

It's not like I'm an innocent.

I've taken lives.

And I got worse, I got clever.

Manipulated people into taking their own.

Sometimes I think a Time Lord lives too long.

If the master dies, what happens to all the people?

I don't know. Doctor, what happens?

The template snaps.

Well, they go back to being human.

They're alive.

And human.

And don't you dare, sir.

Don't you dare put him before them.

Now you take this. That's an order, Doctor. Take the gun. You take the gun

and save your life.

And please don't die. You're the most wonderful man and I don't want you to

die.

A star fell from the sky.

Don't you want to know where from?

Because now it makes sense, Doctor.

It's an open broadcast. Don't reply or you'll know where we are.

The whole of my life.

My destiny.

The star was a diamond.

And the diamond is a white. point star.

And I have worked all night to sanctify that gift.

Now the star is mine.

I can increase the signal and use it as a lifeline.

Do you get it now? Do you see?

Keep watching, Doctor.

This should be...

What's she on about? What's she doing?

Doctor, what does that mean?

A white point star is only found on one planet.

Gallifrey. Which means... It's the Time Lords.

The Time Lords are returning.

Well, I mean, that's good, isn't it? I mean, that's your people.

Open up the nuclear bolt and fuse

the power lines to maximum.

Should be a bolt accelerating, sir.

Send the signal back and the link becomes a pathway.

Come home.

What's that?

Coming from us.

It's on every single wavelength.

Contact.

Now the High Council of Time Lords must vote.

Whether we die here today, or return to the waking world and

complete the ultimate sanction.

For this is the hour when either Gallifrey falls, or

Gallifrey rises!

But you said your people were dead. Class tense.

Inside the Time War. And the whole war was time locked.

Like sealed inside a bubble. It's not a bubble. Just think of a bubble.

Nothing can get in or get out of the Time Lock.

Don't you see? Nothing can get in or get out. Except something that was already

there. The signal.

Since he was a kid. They can follow the signal. They can escape before they die.

Well then, big reunion. We'll have a party. There will be no party. But I've

heard you talk about your people like they're wonderful.

That's how I choose to remember them. The Time Lords of old.

But then they went to war.

An endless war. And it changed them.

Right to the core.

You've seen my enemies, Wilf. The Time Lords are more dangerous than any of

them. Time Lords? What lords?

Anyone want to explain?

Right, yes, you. This is a salvage ship, yes?

You're trolling the asteroid fields for junk.

Yeah, what about it? So, you've got asteroid lasers!

Yeah, but they're all frazzled.

Consider them unfrazzled.

Watch your name. We're going to need you on navigation.

And you, get in the laser pod.

Laser number two.

The old soldier's got one more battle.

This ship can't move.

It's dead.

Fix the heating.

But now they can see us. Oh, yes.

Sir, we've got a fix. 105,000 miles in orbit.

This is my ship.

And you're not moving it. Step away from the wheel.

That's an old earth saying, Captain.

A phrase of great power and wisdom and consolation to the soul in times of

need. What's that, then?

Allons-y!

He's moving, sir.

Get a fix on him.

He's moving very fast.

Because of the missiles.

We've got to fight off the entire planet.

All NATO defenses coordinated, sir. Awaiting your command.

I don't need him. Any second now I'll have time loads to spare.

Take him out. Launch missiles.

Launch missiles.

Missiles launching in three, two, one, zero.

It's automatic.

Just deploy the trigger on the joystick.

We've got it.

Second wave. Launch missiles.

Yes, sir.

And there's more.

Sixteen of them.

And another sixteen.

Then go to the rear and get lasers.

No you don't.

But too late.

They are coming.

The vote is taken. Only two stand against.

And will stand as monument to their shame.

Like the weeping angels of old.

Now the vanguard stands prepared.

As the children of Gallifrey return to the universe.

Two.

I think I should warn you. Don't now!

My Lord Doctor.

My Lord Master.

We are gathered for the end.

Listen to me.

You can't... There's a fitting paradox that our salvation comes at the hands of

our most infamous child.

Oh, he's not saving you.

Don't you realize what he's doing? Hey, no, hey! That's mine.

Oh, shh.

Look around you.

I've transplanted myself into every single human being.

Who wants a mongrel little species like them? Because now I can transplant

myself. Into every single time, Lord.

Oh, yes.

Mr. President, sir.

Standing there all noble and resplendent and decrepit.

Think how much better you're gonna look.

As me!

On your knees, mankind.

That's fine. That's good. Because you said salvation.

I still saved you. Don't forget that.

The approach begins.

Approach of what?

Something is returning.

Don't you ever listen?

That was a prophecy, not someone. Something. What is it?

They're not just bringing back the species.

It's Gallifrey.

Right here, right now.

Donald, where's Donald?

Doctor, please.

We're getting out of here. This whole planet's going to be knocked out of

orbit. What about the doctor?

He said he was dying.

Come on.

I did this. I get the credit.

I'm on your side.

But this is fantastic, isn't it the Time Lords restored

You weren't there in the final days of the war.

You never saw what was born.

But if the time log's broken, then everything's coming through. Not just

the Daleks, but the Skaro degradations.

A horde of travesties.

A nightmare child.

That could have been king with his army of meanwhiles and never was.

The war turned into hell.

And that's where you've opened.

Right above the earth.

Hell is descending.

My kind of world. Just listen, because even the Time Lords can't survive that.

We will initiate the final sanction.

The end of time will come at my hand.

The rupture will continue until it rips the time vortex apart.

That's suicide.

We will ascend to become creatures of consciousness

alone.

free of these bodies, free of time and cause and effect, while

creation itself ceases to be.

You see now?

That's what they were planning in the final days of the war.

I had to stop them.

Then take me with you, Lord President.

Let me ascend!

Into glory!

You are diseased.

Be it a disease of our own making.

No more.

Choose your enemy well.

We are many.

The master is but one.

But he's the president.

Kill him and Gallifrey could be yours.

He's to blame, not me.

Oh, the link is inside my head.

Kill me.

The link gets broken, they go back.

You never would, you coward.

Go on then.

Too late.

Exactly.

It's not just me. It's him. He's the link. Kill him.

The final act of your life is murder.

But which one of us?

Get out of the way.

The link is broken!

Back into the time war, Rassilon!

Back into hell!

Gallifrey falling!

Gallifrey falling!

You'll die with me, Doc!

I know

Get

out of the way

You did this to

me

you

I'm alive.

I'm still

alive.

They gone then?

Yeah, good-o.

If you could let me out.

Yeah.

I mean, this thing seems to be making a bit of a noise.

The master... left the nuclear bolt running.

It's gone into overload.

And that's bad, is it?

No.

Because all the excess radiation gets vented inside there.

Vinvoci glass contains it.

All 500,000 rads about to flood that thing.

Oh.

Well, you better let me out, then.

Except it's gone critical.

Touch one control and it floods.

Even this would set it off.

I'm sorry.

Just leave me.

Okay, right then, I will.

Because you had to go in there, didn't you?

You had to go and get stuck, oh yes.

Because that's who you are, Wilfred.

You were always this.

Waiting for me all this time.

Oh, really?

Just leave me.

I'm an old man, Doctor.

I've had my time.

Well, exactly. Look at you.

Not remotely important.

But me?

I could do so much more.

So much more!

But this is what I get.

My reward.

But it's not!

Live too long.

No.

No, no, please.

Please don't. No, don't, don't! Please don't! Please!

Wilfred.

It's my honour.

Better be quick.

Three, two, one.

What?

Hello.

Hi.

Still with us?

System's dead.

I absorbed it all.

All things kaput.

Wow.

Now it opens, yeah.

Well, here we are then.

Safe and sound.

Aren't you? You're in hell of a state.

You've got some battle scars there.

But they... Your face.

How did you do that?

It started.

It's no good.

She's freezing. How long was she lying out there? It's like hypothermia. Try

him again.

I did.

It's engaged.

Everyone's dialing 999. I can't get through.

We've got to do something. We've got to wake her up. Donna?

Can you hear me?

Donna?

Donna?

It's me. I'm here.

You're safe.

You're home.

I was... What happened?

Did I miss something?

Again?

Oh, she's smiling.

As if today wasn't bad enough.

Anyway, don't go thinking this is goodbye, Will.

I'll see you again.

One more time.

What do you mean? When's that?

Just keep looking.

I'll be there. Where are you going?

To get my reward.

I told you to stay behind.

Well, you look like you needed help.

Besides, you're the one who persuaded me to go freelance.

Yeah, but we're being fired up by a Centauran.

A dumpling with a gun.

And this is no place for a married woman.

Well, then, you shouldn't have married me.

If we go in here and down to the factory floor and down past that corridor, then

he won't know that we're here.

Okay.

That was the maddest Christmas ever, Clyde. Mum still doesn't know what

happened. She got Mr Smith to put out this story saying that Wi-Fi went mad

all across the world, giving everyone hallucinations.

I mean, how else is he going to explain it? Everyone with a different face.

It's you.

You're... Mom!

from the man over there

Smolanzo. Going my way?

How do you know my name?

I'm kind of psychic.

Really? Yeah.

It's not what I'm thinking right now?

Oh, yeah.

No,

it's not just a story. No, every word of it's true. I found my...

Great-grandmother's diary in the loft and she was a nurse in 1913 and she fell

in love with this man called John Smith Except he was a visitor from another

world She fell in love with a man from the styles and she wrote it all down

Thank you

The doctor

to the doctor funny that's the name he used

Was she happy in the end?

Yes, yes, she was.

Were you?

Friends. Come on, and I want all of you in it. Come on, that's it.

Well, friends and Nerys.

Oh, I'm only joking.

Oh, look at her.

You made me wear peach.

You are a peach.

Fairy skin, stone inside, going off. OK, smile.

Cheers!

How about it, Wilfred?

Well, it's never too late.

Will you behave, Minnie, honestly?

I'm going to catch that bouquet.

Oh, dear.

Dad.

And here you are.

Same old face. Didn't I tell you he'd be all right?

They've arrested Mr. Naismith. It was on the news.

Crimes undisclosed. And his daughter, both of them, locked up.

Yeah, but I keep thinking, Doctor, there's one thing you never told me.

That woman, who was she?

I just wanted to give you this.

Wedding present.

Thing is, I never carry money, so I just pop back in time.

Borrowed a quid off a really lovely man.

Geoffrey Noble, his name was.

Have it, he said.

Have that on me.

Smile!

Oh,

don't tell me it's a bill.

Just what I need right now.

A lottery ticket?

What a cheap present.

Who was that?

Still, you never know. It's a trouble rollover this week. I might get lucky.

I've missed it.

Midnight. Mickey's going to be calling me everything. This is your fault. No,

it's not. It's Jimbo.

He said he was going to give us a lift and then he said his axle broke. I can't

help it. Get rid of him, Mum. He's useless.

Listen to you.

We're the mechanic.

Be fair, though.

In my time of life, I'm not going to do much better.

Don't be like that.

Never know. There could be someone out there.

Maybe.

One day.

Don't stay out all night. Try and stop me.

You alright, mate?

Yeah.

Too much to drink?

Something like that.

Baby's time you went home?

Yeah. Anyway, happy new year.

And you.

What year is this?

How much have you read?

2005, January the 1st.

2005.

Tell you what.

I bet you're gonna have a really great year.

Yeah?

See ya.

Yeah.

We will sing to you doctor.

The universe will sing you to your sleep.

This song is ending, but the story never ends.

I don't wanna go.

I've still got legs.

Good.

Bars. Hands.

Fingers. Not your fingers.

Ears. Yes, eyes. Two nose.

And I've had worse. Chin.

Blimey. Hair.

I'm a girl.

No. No.

I'm not a girl. No. I'm still not ginger.

I'm something else. Something important. I'm...

My, my, my son.
