Original subtitles

Susie says hello, don't you, sweetheart?

That's it?

Give a little wave?

Oh, what was I going to say?

Uncle Soon called in. He says hello.

He keeps saying, you must be missing her.

I said, she's been gone for over two years now. I'm getting used to it.

Oh, it's breaking up. It must be the solar flares.

Talk faster.

About the deposit on the house, I've...

Oh, um... I've spoken to your father.

The Red Planet.

Sunsets in 10 minutes, Yuri. You're gonna lose the light.

That's it. Got you on external 10.

Almost there.

That's the radial clamp down.

One more thing.

Get back inside.

You're using power and oxygen.

No, hold on.

Get this on camera.

What do you think?

Hey, looks good.

Nice one, Yuri.

He wasted an entire solar panel just to make that.

Oh, wait a minute. It's a joke.

We come all this way to an empty planet untouched by civilization, and what do

we do?

Put up cheap jokes.

That's not funny. That's pollution.

Having fun? I was just telling you. I expect better of you, Ed.

Now get back to work, all of you.

Oh, beautiful.

Rotate slowly.

You are under arrest for trespassing.

Got it, got it.

State your name, rank, and intention.

The Doctor.

Doctor.

Fun.

What the hell?

It's a man.

A man on Mars.

How? He was wearing this thing.

I have never seen anything like it. What did Mission Control say?

They're out of range for ten hours with the solar flares.

If you could cut the chat, everyone.

Actually, chat's second on my list, the first being gun.

Pointed at my head.

which then puts my head second and chat third, I think.

Gun, head, chat, yeah, I hate lists, but you could hurt someone with that thing.

Just put it down.

Oh, you'd like that.

And you'd find me someone who wouldn't?

Why should I trust you?

Because I give you my word.

And 40 million miles away from home, my word is all you've got.

Keep Gadget covering him. Gadget, Gadget.

Oh, right, so you control that thing.

Auto glove response.

You got it.

To the right.

And to the left.

It's a bit flimsy.

Does it have to keep saying that? I think it's funny.

I hate funny robots.

Excuse me, boss.

Computer log says we've got an extra person on site.

How's that possible?

Keep the bar down close.

And when using open comms, you call me captain.

Yeah, but who is it?

Disconnected. She's cut me off. Can you believe her?

It's like we're just gardeners.

As long as they leave us alone, it's fine with me.

Oh, you beauties.

Look at this.

Better start planting some more if there's an extra mouth to feed.

The very first garden off Earth.

Everything brand new.

Eden.

That's what we should have called this place.

It's the Philippines.

I bet. If there's someone else on Mars, it's got to be the Philippines.

All those stories about them building a rocket.

Adelaide's gonna love that.

Stealing her thunder.

Mind you, worth it to see her face.

Or it could be the Spanish.

They kept that Space Link project under wraps.

Didn't your sister work for them?

Stop mucking about.

Andy?

You okay?

It can't be a world state flight because we know about it. Therefore, he's got to

be one of the independents, yeah?

Was it the Branson inheritance lot? They've been talking about a Mars shot

for years. Right, yes, okay.

You got me. So, I'm the Doctor, and you are?

Oh, come on.

We're the first off-world colonists in history.

Everyone on planet Earth knows who we are.

You're the first?

The very first humans on Mars?

Then this is... Bowie Base One.

Number one.

Founded July 1st, 2058.

Established Bowie Base One in the Gusev Crater.

You've been here how long?

17 months.

2059.

It's 2059, right now.

My head is so stupid! You're Captain Adelaide Brooke!

And Ed, you're Deputy Edward Gold!

Tarakital, M.D.

Nurse, Yuri Kerensky.

Senior technician, Steffi Ehrlich.

Junior technician, Roman Groom.

Geologist, Mia Bennett.

You're only 27 years old.

As I said, Doctor, everyone knows our names.

Oh, they'll never forget them.

What's the date today?

What is it? Tell me the exact date.

November 21st, 2059.

Right.

Okay, fine.

Is there something wrong?

What's so important about my age?

I should go.

I really should go. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry with all of my heart.

But... It's one of those very rare times when I've got no choice.

It's been an honor.

Seriously, a very great honor to meet you all.

The Martian pioneers.

Oh, thank you.

Gadget, gadget.

Thank you.

There's the other two, hold on.

Margaret, Kane and Andrew Stone.

Maggie, if you want to meet the only new human being that you're going to see in

the next five years, better come take a look.

What was that?

This is Central.

Biodome report immediately.

Show me the biodome.

Internal cameras are down.

Show me the exterior.

I'm going over.

Doctor, with me.

I'm sorry.

I'd love to help, but I'm leaving right now. Take your spacesuit, lock it up.

This started as soon as you arrived, so you're not going anywhere, except with

me.

What's so important about Mia's age? You said she's only 27.

Why does it matter? What did you mean?

No, I just opened my mouth and words come out. They don't make much sense.

It's only me.

Thank you, Doctor.

Anytime, Doctor.

I hate robots, did I say?

Yeah, and he's not too fond of you.

What's wrong with robots?

It's not the robots, it's the people.

Dressing them up, giving them silly voices, like you're reducing them.

Yeah, a friend of mine, she made her domestic robot look like a dog.

Oh, well, dogs.

That's different.

But I adapted Gadget out of the worker drones.

Those things are huge.

They built this place when the shell was lowered down from orbit. They've got a

strength capacity of 15 tons. The channel is open for essential

communications only.

Sorry.

Love those drones.

I've heard all that stuff about you, Captain Adelaide.

One thing they never said, was it worth it?

The mission?

We've got excellent results from the soil analysis.

That only burnt all of it.

Because they say you sacrificed everything.

devoted your whole life to get here.

It's been chaos back home.

Forty long years.

Climate, the ozone, the oil apocalypse.

We almost reached extinction.

And to fly above that, to stand on a world with no smoke, where the only

straight line is the sunlight... Yes.

It's worth it.

That's the Adelaide Brook Isle I wanted to meet.

A woman with starlight in her soul.

What's that?

It's Maggie. Don't touch her! I know the procedure.

Maggie? Can you hear me? It's Tarek.

Maggie?

It's okay.

She's still breathing.

She's alive.

Yuri, I've got Margaret Cain head trauma. I need a full medpack.

I've got medpack on its way.

I'm going to help!

In the absence of the captain, you're in charge, sir. You've got to stay in the

dome.

Don't touch her. Use the gloves.

Do what he says.

Get her to the sickbay.

Put her in isolation.

We're going on to the bire dam.

Tarak with me. Yuri can take care of her. Ed, go back.

Gadget, stand guard. Keep an eye on this area.

Gadget, Gadget.

Captain, you're going to need me.

Andy is the only other crew member out here. And if that wasn't an accident,

then he's gone wild.

You've deserted your post.

Consider that an official warning. Now get back to work.

Doctor!

That sound we heard from the biodome. I've run it through diagnostics.

According to the computer, it's... it's Andy.

It registers as the voice print of Andy Stone.

Understood.

Double check, thanks.

Air pressure stabilised.

Andrew?

Andrew Stone?

It's Captain Brooke.

Andy, report.

I need to see you. Where are you?

There you go.

What's that device?

A screwdriver.

Are you the doctor or the janitor?

I don't know. It sounds like me.

The maintenance man of the universe.

You stay with me. Don't step out of my sight.

Tarek, go to external door south. Make sure it's intact.

Yes, ma'am.

Quite an achievement.

First flower on Mars in 10,000 years.

And you're growing veg!

It's that lot. They're already planning Christmas dinner.

Last year it was dehydrated protein. This year they want the real thing.

Still, fair enough.

Christmas. If we must.

You got birds.

It's part of the project.

They keep the insect population down.

Good sign.

In what way?

Well, that's to be learned.

Captain, good news.

It's Maggie.

She's awake. She's back with us.

How are you, soldier?

Just take it easy.

Can you remember what happened?

I was just... working.

Then I woke up here.

What about Andy?

We can't find him. Was he all right?

I don't know. I just... If you remember anything, let me know straight away.

Yuri, does she know how she ended up in the tunnel?

And keep the comms clear. Everything goes through me. Got that?

Come on.

Just let me out of here. I'm fine.

Just groggy. You know the rules.

24 hours.

Andy!

Andy!

Andy!

There you are.

You alright?

Andrew, look at me.

Run!

Is that your brother?

It's only a repeat.

The solar flares are still up.

Are you okay?

Yeah, just, you know.

He makes me laugh, though. It's his husband. He spends money like an idiot.

Last year, for Mikhail's birthday, he said, don't buy me anything.

Let's save money.

George says, fine, okay.

His birthday comes around, turns out George has bought him a car.

Top of the range.

And the thing is, he's used Mikhail's credit stamp. So Mik's saying, that

means I bought it myself.

George says, it's the thought that counts.

Where does he live?

Oh, just outside Dagestan.

Where's that?

On the Caspian Sea. Here you go.

By the sea?

Well, technically, it's more of a lake.

Earth is so much water.

Yeah.

Just look at her.

40 million miles away.

It has so much beauty.

We should like that world.

This is sickbay. We have a situation.

Maggie's condition is... I don't know. I don't know what it is.

It's water just pouring out. Yuri, calm down.

Just tell me what's happened to Evan.

The skin is sort of broken around the mouth.

And she's exuding water.

Like she's drowning.

Tarek, this area's unsafe. We're going back.

Tarek?

Tarek! Where was he?

Yuri, keep it contained. Seal the door at maximum. I'm on my way.

Andy, just leave him alone.

Step away from him. I can help. I promise. I can help. Just leave that man

alone. Andy, I'm asking you to take your hand away from him. And this is me.

So you must be Andy hello

Set the seals to maximum!

What the hell?

That's not Maggie.

What's happened to her?

Yuri, what is she?

Captain, we need you back here.

Just tell me that Maggie is contained. Can you confirm it?

Confirmed.

She's locked in.

Keep surveillance till I get back. And close down all water supplies. All pipes

and outlets. Don't consume anything.

Have you got that? Everyone, that's an order.

Don't drink. the water.

Don't even touch it. Not one drop.

Can you talk?

Human beings are 60% water, which makes them the perfect host.

What for?

I don't know.

I never will.

Because I've got to go.

Whatever started here, I can't see it to the end.

I can't.

This thing's airtight, yeah? And therefore watertight.

Depends how clever the water is.

We're using a system.

Abandon ship!

Doctor, we haven't got time. They can run faster than us. We need a lift.

Hey!

Get on behind me. That thing goes

at two miles an hour. Not anymore.

Trust me.

Gadget, gadget.

We're safe.

It's hermetically sealed. They can't get in.

Water is patient, Adelaide.

Water just waits.

It wears down the cliff tops, the mountains.

The whole of the world.

Water always wins. Come on.

Biodome tunnel is out of bounds. Anti-enteric are infected.

Repeat, infected.

Make no contact. And if they make the slightest move, tell me. I'm going to

the medical dome.

Blimey, it's a distance.

You could do with bikes in this place.

Every pound in weight equals three tons of fuel.

Yeah, I know.

But bikes!

Has that door got a hiding a seal?

No, just basic.

Then the moment she heads for the door, we evacuate.

Got that?

Pulse is low.

Electrical activity in the brain seems to be going haywire.

Can she talk?

Don't know. She was talking before we noticed the change, but... Maggie, can

you hear me? Do you know who I am?

Your commanding officer, Captain Adelaide Brooke.

Can you tell me what happened?

What language is that?

Ancient North Martian.

Don't be ridiculous.

It's like she recognized it. Her eyes are different.

They're clear, like she's closer to human.

Not close enough for me.

Where'd you get your water from?

The ice field.

That's why we changed the crater. We're on top of an underground glacier.

Tons of water. Marvelous. But every single drop is filtered. It's screened.

It's safe.

Looks like it, yeah.

If something was frozen down there, a viral life form... Held in the ice for

all those years.

Look at her mouth.

All blackened like there's some sort of fission.

This thing, whatever it is, doesn't just hide in water.

It creates water.

Tell me what you want.

She was looking at the screen.

At Earth.

She wanted Earth. A world full of water.

Captain, with me.

I'm sorry, but it's an unknown infection and it's spreading.

That demands action procedure one.

You think I don't know that?

I think you need reminding.

Yeah.

At least I'm good for something.

Not again.

It's almost a compliment.

Things must be serious.

Sorry, sorry, but action one, that means evacuation, yeah?

We're going home.

This is Captain Brooke. I'm declaring action one. Repeat to all crew members,

this is action one with immediate effect.

Evacuate the base.

Arlstolt, essential computer.

Mia, strip the cargo down to essentials.

Roman, on your feet.

But we came all this way.

You can kiss that robot goodbye. It's too heavy. Now shove it in storage and

hurry up.

Steffi, what's your estimate on shuttle viability?

It's a nine-month flight. It'll take us at least three hours to load up

everything we need. You've got 20 minutes.

And give me a report on Andy and Tarek.

Still in the biodome tunnel.

They're just standing there, like they're waiting.

Keep an eye on them, and make that 20 minutes 15.

Ed, line up the shuttle. Go straight to ignition status.

Doing it now. But what about Meg? She stays behind.

We've got no way to contain her on board. Close this place down. I want the

power directed to the shuttle.

Of course, the only problem is... Thank you, Doctor. Your spacesuit will be

returned, and good luck to you. The problem is, this thing is clever.

It didn't affect the birds or the insects in the biodome. It chose the

humans. You were chosen.

And I told you Adelaide water can wait.

Tarot changed straight away, but when Maggie was infected, it stayed hidden

inside her. No doubt, so it could infiltrate the central dome.

Which means?

Any one of us could already be infected.

We've all been drinking the same water.

And if you take that back to Earth... One drop.

Just one drop.

But we're only presuming infection.

If we can find out how this thing got through, when it got through... Yuri,

continue with action one.

I'm going to inspect the ice field.

Right. I should leave.

Finally, I should leave.

Yuri, me old mate, no point meeting the ice field.

No point at all.

No.

Who's saying this? Bikes!

Little fold-away bikes, don't they a thing?

I'm sorry.

Even if she gets past the medical dome, she'll never get past the Hardinger seal

at this end, right?

So we keep saying.

Camera's down.

I've lost her.

They tell legends of ours from long ago.

The fine and noble race who built an empire out of snow.

The Ice Warriors.

I haven't got time for stories.

Perhaps they found something down there.

It was their might and their wisdom to freeze it.

Doctor, we need to find any sort of change in the water process.

We've got to date the infection.

Access denied.

You don't look like a coward.

But all you've wanted to do is leave.

You know so much about us. Well, you're famous.

It's like you know more.

This moment, this precise moment in time, it's like... I mean, it's only a

theory. What do I know? But I think certain moments in time are fixed.

Precious moments. Everything else is in flux. Anything can happen. But those

certain moments, they have to stand.

This base on Mars, with you, Adelaide Brooke, this is one vital moment. What

happens here must always happen.

Which is what?

I don't know.

I think something wonderful happened.

Something that started 50 years ago.

Isn't that right?

I've never told anyone that.

You told your daughter.

And maybe one day she tells a story to her daughter of the day the Earth was

stolen and moved across the universe.

And you... I saw the Daleks.

We looked up.

The sky had changed.

Everyone was running and screaming.

And my father took hold of me.

Stay here.

Don't move.

I've got to go out. I'm going to find your mother, but I'm coming back.

I promise you.

I'm coming back.

I never saw him again.

Nor my mother.

They were never found.

But out on the street, there was panic and burning.

I went to the window.

And there, in the sky, I saw it, Doctor.

And it saw me.

It stared at me.

It looked right into me.

It simply went away.

I knew that night.

I knew I would follow it.

But not for revenge.

What would be the point of that?

That's what makes you remarkable.

And that's how you create history.

What do you mean?

Imagine it, Adelaide.

If you...

Began a journey that takes the human race all the way out to the stars It

begins with you and then your granddaughter you inspire her So that in

30 years Susie Fontana Brooke is the pilot of the first lightspeed ship to

Proxima Centauri And

then everywhere

with her children and her children's children forging away to the Dragon

Star, the Celestial Belt of the Winter Queen, the map of the water snake

wormholes.

One day, a brook will even form another, the Tandonian Prince, and that's the

start of a whole new species.

But everything starts with you, Adelaide.

From 50 years ago to right here, today.

Imagine.

Who are you?

Why are you telling me this?

Why tell me?

As consolation.

Andy Stone.

He logged on yesterday.

Maintenance log.

21-20-November-2059.

Number three water filters bust.

And guess what?

The spares they sent don't fit. What a surprise.

Over and out.

A filter!

One tiny little filter and then the flood.

But that means the infection arrived today, and the water's only cycled out

of the biodome after a week.

The rest of us can't be infected. We can leave.

Ed, we're clean. How are we doing?

Shuttle's active. Stage one.

I haven't got time to convey the protein packs. If you want food, you're going to

have to carry it by hand.

Start loading.

Right now.

You were right, Doctor.

What about?

Bikes!

Now get to your ship. I'm saving my people, you save yourself.

I know what this moment is.

It's the moment we escape.

Now get out.

What about you?

Protein packs 30 to 36.

Step,

you ditch the central containers. We don't need them. We only need units 41,

42 and 43.

The wage 41 is zero. Let's swap them around.

Roman, try to condense the oxygen membranes. We could lose 10 pounds.

Buster, come on!

Ed, how's the fuel jets?

Pulling down in about 30 seconds.

Captain,

we've lost all the hot lines we've got.

I'm declaring it dead.

It's not going to work. Be quiet.

66 and 68.

How's that noise?

Mia, you lot, shut up!

Some module sensors.

Exterior 12.

The cameras are down, but there's pressure on top of the module.

Two signals right above us.

That means... They're on the roof?

How did they get inside the dome?

They used the maintenance shafts. The shaft's open and they haven't got

spacesuits. They breathe water.

They'd freeze.

They've got that internal fissure.

We're safe.

They can't get through, can they?

Can they?

This place is in her time.

Can it get through?

Ed?

Can it get through? I don't know. Water itself is a mitre, but it has some sort

of persistence.

Everyone listen to me.

That's ten feet of steel combination up there.

We need all the protein packs or we're going to starve. Now keep working.

Roman, watch the ceiling.

Ed, get to the shuttle. Fire it up. I can carry more than this lot, Captain.

That's an order.

Captain.

Access denied.

Access denied.

Tell me what happens.

I don't know.

Yes, you do. Now tell me. You should be with the others.

Tell me!

I could ramp up the pressure in that airlock and crush you.

Except you won't.

You could have shot Andy Stone, but you didn't.

I loved you for that.

Imagine... Imagine you knew something.

Imagine you found yourself somewhere.

I don't know, Pompeii.

Imagine you were in Pompeii. What the hell's that got to do with it?

And you tried to save them, but in doing so, you make it happen.

Anything I do just makes it happen.

Ketan, we need you right now.

I'm still here.

You're taking action one.

There are four more standard action procedures and action five is...

Destination. The final option.

The nuclear device at the heart of the central dome.

Today, the 21st of November 2059, Captain Brooke activates

that device, taking the base and all her crew members with her.

You were saving Earth.

That's what inspires your granddaughter.

She takes your people out into the galaxy because you die on Mars.

You die today.

She flies out there like she's trying to meet you.

Why won't you help, Doctor, if you know all of this? Why can't you change it? I

can't. Why can't you find a way? I swear I can't.

I'm sorry, but I can't.

Sometimes I can, sometimes I do. Most times I can save someone.

Or anyone.

But not you.

You wondered all your life why that Dalek spared you. I think he knew.

Your death is fixed in time forever.

You die here too.

No.

What's gonna save you?

Everyone, we're abandoning this section. Get the shuttle. Yuri, lead the way.

Section B corridor, now.

Please take that.

And that.

Plenty.

Yuri, did that water touch you?

I'm safe. Did it touch you? Yuri, did that water touch you? I'm clean. I'm

dry. Everyone, section B is out.

Listen to me.

Take every pack that you can. We'll go round. We'll make our way out through

section F.

Transferring of-

Steffi! Can you hear me?

Oh, my God.

Out.

Get out.

Ed, we're going around the long way. How are we doing?

All systems online, 100%. Not a single delay.

Don't you worry, Captain. We are gonna fly.

I need air. It's next to air. Do it right now.

Locking chamber three.

Locking chamber four.

Keep looking.

Gate five is open. I need the overhaul. Gate six is open.

Quickly, come on.

I've got 25 to 30. Lock down.

Roman, come on, with me.

You better go.

They're just on their move.

You'd really better go without me.

I'm sorry, Captain.

One drop.

What the hell do you mean?

Compromise. Miss Maggie.

Get out of there!

Too late.

They want this ship to get to Earth.

Got no choice.

Hated it that late.

Opened this bloody job.

Never gave me a chance.

I'm not just the Time Lord.

I'm the last of the Time Lords.

They'll never come back. Not now.

Ah, both TARDIS.

Same old life. Last of the Time Lords.

Then they died. Took it all with them.

Walls of reality closed. The worlds were sealed.

Gone forever.

When the Time Lords kept their eye on it, I believe it's gone now. But they

died, the Time Lords.

All of them, they died.

I'll be lost at the time.

Mia! Take this seal and fix that ring. Your ring! Open emergency oxygen.

Adelaide, don't just sit there!

That's better!

The dome's still got integrity.

It's ten feet of steel combination, made in Liverpool.

Magnificent workmanship.

It can't be stopped. Don't die with us. No, because someone told me just

recently, they said I was going to die.

They said he will knock four times, and I think I know what that means, and it

doesn't mean right here, right now, because I don't hear anyone knocking to

you.

Three knocks is all you're getting.

Super and electricity, bad mix. Now then, what else have we got? But there's

no way to fight them. Heat!

They use water, so we can use heat.

What's against the ice warriors?

What's against the flood? Ramp up the environment controls and steam them. But

you said we'd die.

To the future, for the human race. Yes, because there are laws. There are laws

of time. And once upon a time, there were people in charge of those laws, but

they died.

They all died.

Do you know who that leaves? Me!

It's taken me all these years to realize the laws of time are mine.

And they will obey me!

Environment controls are down. Sorry, Doctor, but it looks like history's got

other ideas.

Not beaten yet.

I'll go outside!

Focus heat regulator!

Not beaten! Not beaten!

Use the spaceshoots! In the next section!

We're fighting time itself.

And I'm gonna win!

Something is happening to the glacier.

Think, think, think, think. What have we got? Not enough oxygen.

Protein pack is useless.

Glacier, glacier.

The room, the room, the room, look at the room.

Section F, what's in Section F?

ANYONE? Nothing, it's just storage.

Storing what? I don't know, the weather spikes, the robots, the atomclabs.

Atomclabs? Atomclabs?

Who needs atomclabs?

I love a funny robot.

Now you take that, good boy.

Implementing Captain's protocol.

Captain Age, what are you doing?

Oh, God. Action five.

If I have to fight you as well, then I will.

Nuclear device now active and primed. Nuclear device now active and primed.

Blast off!

Your device entering final process.

Isn't anyone going to thank me?

He's lost his signal.

Doesn't know where he is.

That's my house.

Don't you get it?

This is the 21st of November, 2059.

Same day, on Earth.

And it's snowing. I love snow.

What is that thing?

It's bigger.

I mean, it's bigger on the inside.

Who the hell are you?

Look after her.

Yes, ma'am.

He saved us.

Just think, though.

Your daughter and your daughter's daughter. You can see them again.

Family reunion.

But I'm supposed to be dead.

Not anymore.

But... Susie... My granddaughter...

The person she's supposed to become... Might never exist now.

Nah!

Captain Adelaide can inspire her face to face.

Different details, but the story's the same. You can't know that.

And if my family changes, the whole of history could change.

The future of the human race. No one should have that much power.

Tough.

You should have left us there.

I'd let her run this sort of thing before.

In small ways, say to little people.

But never someone as important as you. Oh, I'm good.

Little people?

What, like Mia and Yuri?

Who decides they're so unimportant? You?

For a long time now, I thought I was just a survivor, but I'm not.

I'm the winner.

That's who I am.

The Time Lord Victorious.

And there's no one to stop you.

No.

This is wrong, Doctor.

I don't care who you are.

The Time Lord Victorious is wrong.

That's for me to decide.

No, you'd better get home.

Oh, it's all locked up. You've been away. Still, that's easy.

Is there nothing you can't do?

Not anymore.

I don't care who you are.

The Time Lord Victorious is wrong.

I've gone too far.

Is this it?

My dad is it time

No.

Every night, Doctor, we have bad dreams.

But I was told he will knock four times.

Because a shadow is falling over creation.

Something vast is stirring in the dark.

I'm going to die.

My name is the Master.

The darkness heralds only one thing.

The end of time itself.
